The short version

Andrew B. Cajka is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2014 and Oct 2019: SOUTHERN FIRST BANCSHARES INC (Greenville, SC — commercial banking — 2014–2019; $23M reported sold to 20 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside ANNE S. ELLEFSON (2 shared filings), DAVID G. ELLISON (2 shared filings), FREDERICK GILMER, III (2 shared filings), JAMES B. ORDERS, III (2 shared filings), LEIGHTON M. CUBBAGE (2 shared filings) and 10 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Andrew. Each name links to their own page.

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) — 2 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 records came back, including 2 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 Andrew B. Cajka and found 2 differences: Andrew B. Cajka is written 2 different ways on the filings; Reported revenue range changed between 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

2 differences found between the filings for Andrew B. Cajka (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 28, 2014 – Oct 8, 2019

Andrew B. Cajka is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Andrew Cajka" on the Jan 28, 2014 filing, and "Andrew B. Cajka" on the Oct 8, 2019 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.

Sources
Note · Jan 28, 2014 – Oct 8, 2019

Reported revenue range changed between filings — SOUTHERN FIRST BANCSHARES INC

"$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Jan 28, 2014); then "$5,000,001 - $25,000,000" (Oct 8, 2019).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
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.

5. Money to insiders

2 of 2 offerings report sales commissions totalling $510,250; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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 every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
