The short version

Southern is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people; automatic match from the filings), filing 2 Form D filings between Aug 2014 and Sep 2016.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 2 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $12.5M to 138 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Commercial Banking (1), REITS and Finance (1). Issuers are based in MO (2).

What this means $12.5M raised across the group, about $90K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Greg A. Steffens (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Lora L. Daves (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Matthew T. Funke (2 issuers, executive officer and director), William D. Hribovsek (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Brooks Rebecca McLane (1 issuer, director) and 12 more.

What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Sep 29, 2016.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 30 court cases matching the name, 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 38 records came back, including 5 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 2 public filings for Southern and found 2 differences: 4 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; William D. Hribovsek is written 2 different ways on the filings.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

2 differences found between the filings for Southern (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 29, 2016 – Aug 3, 2020

4 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members

Bankruptcy case: Southern Bank v. Delouri Farms Inc — filed May 8, 2020 · Bankruptcy case: Marcum v. Southern Bank — filed Mar 7, 2018 · Bankruptcy case: Southern Bank v. Blunt — filed Jun 21, 2017 · Bankruptcy case: Southern Bank v. Ballew — filed Mar 29, 2016

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Note · Aug 13, 2014 – Sep 29, 2016

William D. Hribovsek is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "William D. Hribovsek" on the Aug 13, 2014 filing, and "William Hribovsek" on the Sep 29, 2016 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 2 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).
