 Loop Simplify Form
 ==================
 
-TBD
+The Loop Simplify Form is a canonical form that makes
+several analyses and transformations simpler and more effective.
+This loop is ensured by the LoopSimplify (`-loop-simplify`) pass
+and is automatically added by the pass managers when scheduling
+a LoopPass.
+When this pass is successful, the loop has:
+
+* A preheader.
+* A single backedge (which implies that there is a single latch).
+* Dedicated exits. That is, no exit block for the loop
+  has a predecessor that is outside the loop. This implies
+  that all exit blocks are dominated by the loop header.
