There were 2 individual requests tonight from Executive MBA students for the "10K" filings for Ericsson, which is based in Sweden. Initially, one student said he had been told he could use Reuters here in the library to get it. He approached the desk wondering where in the library he could access Reuters. I explained it wasn't available, except in the Subotnick Center and we consulted the Center's hours.
I asked what it was he needed, and he explained about the needed Ericsson filing for 2005. Both students said that they had searched the SEC Edgar filings for the 10-K, but they weren't able to find it. Since Ericsson is a Swedish corporation trading in the U.S. (and other exchanges), it files a 20-F annual filing so there wouldn't be a 10-k. I didn't help them check the SEC Edgar filings for it, which I am sure would have the filings but we obtained it from Thomson Research and from the corporation's U.S. web site.
However, I would recommend the Thomson Research site as the complete filing with attachments is there (409 pages) and the version posted on the corporation's U.S. web site is 100+ pages. This appears not to have all the attachments but I didn't spend a lot of time looking at the filing. And, of course, it depends upon what information the students need. (The filing would be available in other databases.)
Please let me know if you have any questions.
