Amendment Description | Cowen Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) to provide additional information required by Part III, because the definitive proxy statement for our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will not be filed within 120 days after the end of our 2021 fiscal year. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A does not change the previously reported financial statements or any of the other disclosure contained in Part I or Part II. Part IV is being amended solely to add new certifications in accordance with Rule 13a-14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A and this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. We are not including the certifications under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Form 10-K/A. | ||
