Also known as a D&O questionnaire. A questionnaire distributed by the company to its directors and officers during an initial public offering or during preparation of a registration statement on Form S-1 or the company's Form 10-K and proxy statement. The answers to the questionnaire provide information about an individual's background and experience, securities ownership, independence, insider transactions and compensation, which permits the company and its counsel to provide and confirm accurate disclosure in its registration statements or Form 10-K reports and proxy statements.
