In June 2016, the SEC adopted an amendment to Form 10-K, the annual report for US domestic issuers, implementing Section 72001 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, commonly known as the "FAST Act." This amendment expressly permits the inclusion of a summary of business and financial information in an annual report, on the condition that each item in the summary includes a cross-reference by hyperlink to the material in the report to which the item relates.
