II. Declaration of bankruptcy
III. Declaration of a cash dividend
IV. Proposal of a merger with another corporation

Answer 1

I. Election of new members of the Board of Directors

II. Declaration of bankruptcy

IV. Proposal of a merger with another corporation

Step-by-step explanation:

Form 8K is expected to be filed by an organization for unexpected events that would require the knowledge of the shareholders. The form is to be completed within four days after the occurrence of the event. Some of these events include a declaration of bankruptcy by the organization, the resignation or election of new board Directors, or the merging of the company with another.

In general, events not specified in the original agreements during the establishment of the organization, or key events that happen in the course of the business must be filed in the form 8K.
