COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP /DE/ CMTL
Founded in 1967, we have a longstanding history of providing critical communications technology and solutions to customers around the world. We serve two core end-markets: secure satellite and wireless communications via our Satellite and Space Communications segment and public safety via our Allerium (formerly, our Terrestrial and Wireless Networks) segment. In both cases, we are at the forefront of the technologies that solve extraordinarily complex communications problems – whether it is a 911 call captured, routed and data-enhanced to optimize the public safety result in situations where every second matters, or providing communications infrastructure that ensures people, businesses and governments can connect anywhere on earth, under any conditions – including on the battlefield. We believe the demand for the communications solutions we provide is growing since public safety professionals require the most effective and comprehensive systems to respond to emergencies; and governments and enterprises are seeking advanced, reliable secure wireless connectivity.

Recent filings and events
- Material agreement signed The company entered an agreement outside the ordinary course of business - a large contract, a credit facility, a merger agreement. Item 1.01
- Other event The catch-all. The company chose to disclose something that fits no other item, so the content is whatever it says it is. Item 8.01
- Officer or director change Someone at the top arrived or left. The item covers everything from a board retirement to a chief executive being removed, and only the filing itself says which. Item 5.02
- Material agreement signed Item 1.01
- Material agreement terminated An agreement that mattered has ended. Often the other half of a deal that fell through. Item 1.02
- Results announced The quarterly or annual earnings release. Arrives four times a year from almost every company here. Item 2.02
- New debt or obligation The company has taken on debt or a comparable obligation. Item 2.03
- Unregistered share sale Shares issued outside a registered offering. Dilution, and for a small company often the way it is funded. Item 3.02
- Shareholder rights changed The terms attaching to the shares themselves have changed. Item 3.03
- Regulation FD disclosure Something the company told the market and had to tell everyone at once - usually a slide deck or a press release. Item 7.01
- Officer or director change Item 5.02
- Results announced Item 2.02
Item numbers are Form 8-K's own, and a filing date is up to four business days after the thing it reports. The same feed across the whole market.
