Winmark 8-K Filing: Results, Reg FD and Other Events

An 8-K filing is the “current report” that US public companies submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission to tell investors about significant events between their regular quarterly and annual reports.

Key takeaways

• Winmark Corp filed an 8-K on Oct. 14, 2026, at 11:39 a.m. Eastern, under accession number 0000908315-26-000038.
• The filing lists four items: 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition), 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure), 8.01 (Other Events) and 9.01 (Financial Statements and Exhibits).
• The submission is about 624 KB, which suggests it carries substantial exhibit material beyond a short cover document.
• Two companies, Actuate Therapeutics and Glucotrack, also filed amended S-1 registration statements (S-1/A) in the same SEC filings today cycle.

What happened

Winmark Corp (SEC central index key 908315) posted a new Form 8-K to EDGAR, the SEC’s public database, on Wednesday. The cover page checks off four separate items rather than a single event, which is common when a company packages related disclosures together.

The item numbers tell readers where to look. Item 2.02 is the section companies use when they publicly announce or release information about results of operations or financial condition. Item 7.01 covers information a company chooses to furnish under Regulation FD. Item 8.01 is a catch-all for events the company considers important but that don’t fit another category. Item 9.01 lists the attached exhibits, such as a press release or slide deck.

The filing index doesn’t by itself reveal the figures or commentary inside the exhibits. Readers who want specifics should open the attached documents on EDGAR rather than rely on the cover listing.

How it works

Form 8-K has a tight clock. In general, a company has four business days after a triggering event to file. Earnings-related disclosures are usually timed alongside a press release or call.

Two of the items here carry a distinction that trips up newcomers. Information “filed” under an item can create liability under the Securities Exchange Act and may be incorporated into other filings. Information “furnished,” as is typical under Items 2.02 and 7.01, is generally treated more narrowly and is not automatically incorporated into registration statements unless the company says so.

Regulation FD, short for “fair disclosure,” bars companies from giving material nonpublic information to selected analysts or investors before it reaches the public. Filing an 8-K under Item 7.01 is one accepted way to make a disclosure broadly available.

In general commentary provided to Fyla Digest, Andy Altahawi, founder and CEO of Adamson Brothers Corp., which sponsors this publication, said: “The registration statement is only the start. Issuers that plan for quarterly reporting, internal controls and Regulation FD from the first draft of the S-1 or F-1 tend to have a much smoother first year as a public company.”

Elsewhere on EDGAR today

Registration statements were also active. Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. (CIK 1652935) filed an S-1/A, and Glucotrack, Inc. (CIK 1506983) filed one as well; Glucotrack’s was stamped on the evening of Oct. 13 Eastern time and appears in the Oct. 14 listings. Each is roughly 1 MB.

An S-1/A is an amendment to an S-1, the form a company uses to register securities for sale to the public. Amendments typically respond to SEC staff comments, update financial information or revise offering terms. An amended filing does not on its own signal that an offering has priced or closed.

Key terms

What to watch next

For Winmark, the exhibits attached to the 8-K are the place to find any financial results or other announcements. Watch for any follow-on filings, which companies sometimes file to correct or supplement an earlier report.

For Actuate and Glucotrack, further amendments or a request for effectiveness would show how their registration processes are progressing. Those details will appear in the filings themselves.

FAQ

Is an 8-K the same as a quarterly report? No. A 10-Q is the regular quarterly report. An 8-K reports specific events as they happen, including earnings announcements.

Does an 8-K tell you whether results were good or bad? The cover listing doesn’t. The substance sits in the exhibits and text.

What does 624 KB mean? It’s the size of the full submission, including attachments. It is not a measure of importance.

Does an S-1/A mean a company is going public tomorrow? No. It means the company has revised its pending registration statement.
