Primary filings index — Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (CIK 0000928876)
This file is the chronological index of TSEM SEC filings to cite from. Tower Semiconductor Ltd. is an Israel-incorporated, US-listed (NASDAQ) Foreign Private Issuer (FPI), which means the FPI disclosure regime applies:
- Form 20-F annual report (typically filed Apr-May following fiscal-year-end Dec 31)
- Form 6-K interim report (filed for any material event, financial release, principal-shareholder disclosure, or any document furnished to non-US shareholders / regulators); TSEM has filed ~750 6-Ks since 2008 — extremely high cadence reflecting Israeli-securities-law disclosure requirements
- Schedule 13D / 13G beneficial-ownership filings (Israeli pension funds + US hedge funds + other 5%+ holders)
- Form 144 notice of proposed sale (used by control-persons for restricted-stock sales; applies pre-HFIAA)
- F-1 / F-3 registration statements
- 424B5 / 424B7 prospectus supplements (used for shelf take-downs + secondary offerings)
- Form 4 insider-transaction reports — NOT applicable pre-2026-03-18 (FPI carve-out from Section 16(a)); applies from 2026-03-18 forward under HFIAA. Currently zero Form 4 filings on record.
Compare to GFS (US-domestic-issuer Cayman-incorporated, full Section 16 + 10-K + 10-Q regime) and POET (FPI like TSEM, post-HFIAA same-regime). The 6-K cadence is comparable to POET; TSEM’s 6-K archive is one of the densest in the FPI universe.

2. Interim reports (Form 6-K) — recent + key historical
Tower’s 6-K cadence is extremely high (~80-100 filings per year) reflecting Israeli-securities-law and TASE disclosure requirements. Each general-meeting notice, dividend declaration, capital-restructuring action, or material business announcement generates a 6-K. Below: most-recent 12 6-Ks + historically significant filings.

2.3 6-K aggregate count
Total 6-K filings on TSEM EDGAR submissions feed: 748 as of 2026-04-29 ✓. Date range: from the earliest TSEM 6-K (~2008-2009) through 2026-04-27.
Methodological note. Building a complete 6-K-by-6-K index for TSEM is impractical at the page-budget level; the 6-K archive is too dense. The recommended approach: (a) systematically catalogue 6-Ks by category — annual general meeting (AGM), Q-end results, capital-structure events, principal-shareholder disclosures — using EDGAR full-text search; (b) maintain a chronological link list for the most recent 12-24 months with content-type tagging; (c) use full-text search to retrieve specific historical 6-Ks for KB claim-validation needs. The KB does not currently maintain a 6-K-content-type index — open backfill task.

6. Registration statements + secondary offerings

| F-3 / 424B5 / 424B7 (recent) | various | ⚠ to be enumerated from full EDGAR pull | TSEM has periodic shelf registrations; full enumeration pending |
Open backfill. The 2026 TSEM full filing index includes additional F-3 and 424B5 filings not yet catalogued in this KB. Recommend a full submissions-feed enumeration of
F-3,424B5,424B7,424B3form types from the EDGAR feed.
7. Interpretive notes — Foreign Private Issuer regime cadence
| Aspect | TSEM (FPI) | Comparison: GFS (US-domestic Cayman) |
|---|---|---|
| Annual report | 20-F (one per year, ~120 days post FY-end) | 10-K (~60 days post FY-end) |
| Quarterly reports | NONE (no equivalent of 10-Q) | 10-Q (4 per year, 40-45 days post Q-end) |
| Material-event report | 6-K (any filing furnished to non-US shareholders / regulators) | 8-K (filed within 4 business days of triggering event) |
| Insider trades | Form 4 — post-HFIAA only (2026-03-18 forward) | Form 4 — applies throughout |
| Proxy / governance | NO DEF 14A; AGM materials filed on 6-K | DEF 14A annually |
| 6-K cadence | Very high (~80-100 / year) | n/a (8-K only on triggering events) |
The 6-K density is the single most important methodological feature of TSEM disclosure. Tower’s ~80 6-Ks/year is consistent with Israeli companies that maintain dual-listing readiness and produce cross-border-disclosure in both Hebrew and English. Each general-meeting notice, board-resolution, principal-shareholder change, and dividend-declaration produces a 6-K. An analyst building the catalyst-attribution timeline (stock price history) MUST cross-reference single-day-price-move dates against the 6-K stream to identify the specific triggering disclosure.
8. Filing-index verification checklist
For each KB claim citing an accession number, the following checks should hold:
- Accession exists in
https://data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK0000928876.json. ✓ verified for all accessions in this index. - Primary doc is accessible at
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/928876/{accession_no_dashes}/{primary_doc_filename}. - Filing date matches the EDGAR submissions feed.
- Form type matches the EDGAR submissions feed.
9. Open items / backfill queue
- Full extraction of FY 2024 20-F (acc. 0001178913-25-001537) — Item 6 (Senior Management + Compensation), Item 7 (Major Shareholders), Item 18 (Financial Statements), and risk factors. This is the single highest-priority backfill item for the KB.
- 6-K content-type index — categorise 748 6-Ks by content type (results, AGM, principal-shareholder, capital-structure, material-business-announcement). Even a sample-based effort (e.g., 50 most-recent + 20 historically significant) would unlock substantial catalyst-attribution power.
- Form 144 acc. 0001968582-25-001081 primary-doc XML extraction — filer identity, share count, intended sale date.
- 5-7 2023-2024 SC 13G filings — extract filer identity and percentage holding for the entries flagged ⚠.
- F-3 / 424B5 / 424B7 enumeration — pull all registration-statement filings from EDGAR submissions feed and catalogue.
- Israel Corp / Ofer historical exit pin-down — cross-reference the early-2010s 20-Fs (FY 2010-2014) Item 7 + Israeli SAR / Maya filings.
- Post-HFIAA Form 3 / Form 4 wave detection — automated alerts on first Form 3 + Form 4 filings.
