Where do companies announce dividend payouts?
Is there a required report that companies must submit to share upcoming dividend payments? I looked on sec.gov, but couldn't find documents relating to what I'm looking for. I found this PDF that suggests it should be filed, I'm just unsure of what I'm actually looking for, I guess.

According to this, companies will send out a financial report to investors announcing dividend payouts.
Public companies must abide by SEC rules of fairness and equity in dividend announcements. SEC requires public companies to announce material information publicly in a way that no one can take advantage by trading on non-public information at the expense of other market participants.
Dividends are published in a press release by the company to all investors through the company's website and to the SEC through SEC website in form 8-k. Dividend announcement usually happens at the same time and in the same press release of the company's earnings.
Form 8-k is not exclusive to dividend announcements. Company's file form 8-k to communicate material information to regulators and investors
