Amendment Description | On December 14, 2021, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (the “NYSE”) filed Form 25s with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist the registrant’s common stock and preferred stock from the NYSE and to deregister the common stock and preferred stock under Section 12(b) of the Act. On December 27, 2021, the registrant filed with the SEC a Form 15 with respect to the common stock and preferred stock, requesting that the duty of the registrant to file reports under Section 13 of the Act with respect to such securities be terminated and the duty of the registrant to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Act with respect to such securities be suspended. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Kansas City Southern (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”), originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 1, 2022.In reliance upon and as permitted by Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, the Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to include in the 2021 Form 10-K the Part III information not previously included in the 2021 Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A consists solely of the preceding cover page, this explanatory note, the information required by Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of Form 10-K, a signature page and certifications required to be filed as exhibits. We are amending Part IV solely to add those certifications. No attempt has been made in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to modify or update the other disclosures presented in the 2021 Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the 2021 Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the 2021 Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.
