A General Information Sheet (GIS) is an annual reportorial requirement, signed and attested by the corporate secretary, that provides a snapshot of the corporation’s current status. Its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is pursuant to the provisions of Republic Act 11232, also known as the “Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines.”

Its purpose is for the SEC to collect pertinent information about the registered corporations based on its mandate to ensure full and timely disclosure of material information, protect investors, and minimize fraudulent, manipulative devices, and practices that distort the free market.

All corporations shall file their GIS within 30 calendar days from:

1. Stock Corporations – date of actual annual stockholders’ meeting
2. Non-Stock Corporations – date of actual annual members meeting
3. Foreign Corporations – anniversary date of the issuance of the SEC License.

Based on Memorandum Circular No. 03 Series of 2021 (MC03-2021) issued by the SEC, the reportorial requirements must be filed through the Online Submission Tool (OST), now Electronic Filing and Submission Tool (eFAST), a web-based system that allows account creations for both corporations and authorized filers.

Submission of reports over the counter and/or through mail or courier under the SEC Express Nationwide Submission facility shall no longer be accepted.
