Get Reverse Split Lifecycle
What it does
Get the reverse-split LIFECYCLE Signal8 has tracked from a company's own SEC filings (proxies, 8-K Items 3.03/5.03/5.07, 6-Ks): one episode per split authority, newest first, each with its state (proposed, vote scheduled, approved, ratio set, effective date announced, charter filed, … or closed), the ratio or authorised range, meeting / vote / effective dates, the state history, and the events behind it oldest first.
Every event carries its source (accession and an EDGAR sourceUrl) and its facts; every STATED fact carries the VERBATIM QUOTE it was read from — cite the quote and link the source rather than paraphrasing.
NOT STATED IS NOT MEASURED, NEVER "NO".
A fact with notStated:true (or a null field) means the documents read did not say it — never that it is false, zero or absent. coverage "unresolved" means the ticker could not be matched to an SEC registrant: NOT MEASURED. coverage "tracked" with an EMPTY episodes list means no episode has been tracked from the filings read since the tracker started — it is NOT evidence that no reverse split is planned; never say "no reverse split". effectiveDate is the date the ISSUER STATED, strictly parsed: a SCHEDULED date, not a confirmation that the split happened (it can be postponed or abandoned).
A conditional date ("the 25th trading day after the Trigger Event") is returned VERBATIM in effectiveCondition and is never a date — do not compute one from it. verification is copied from the tracker: "provisional" = one source, not cross-checked (the default, not "doubtful"); "verified" = cross-checked.
APPROVAL (present only when approvalAvailable is true): each episode carries approvalPath {path, label, quote, sourceUrl} — shareholder_vote, written_consent, fpi_written_resolution, pre_approved_range (the board set the ratio inside a range shareholders approved earlier), board_only (the company's OWN filing states no shareholder approval was required, quoted) or unknown.
The response also carries domicile {code, label, group, source} (EDGAR, else the latest 10-K / 20-F cover; null = NOT MEASURED, never "Delaware") and splitAuthority {authority, basis, label, boardMayActWithoutVote, conditions, statute, quote, sourceUrl}.
Only basis own_prior_board_only_announcement or charter_clause is board split authority on file: a charter clause is a standing power; own prior evidence is a PAST board-only split (dated in the label, conditional on its statute, e.g. NRS 78.207 needs authorized shares cut by the same ratio), not a power to skip a vote now, and the current split can still go to a vote.
authority "unknown" or basis "domicile_default_only" is NOT A FINDING: it only says what the domicile's law allows by default (e.g. "Domicile may permit board action; charter not checked") — never say this company can split without a vote on it. vote_required appears only as a labelled domicile default, never as a statement that a vote is needed. path "unknown" is not "no vote"; quote the evidence, never infer a path from a missing proxy.
An HTTP 503 FEATURE_DISABLED means the lifecycle tracker is switched off: report that it is unavailable and say nothing about the company's splits.
