The short version

Barbara Yanni is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2015 and May 2017: Symic Holdings, LLC (Emeryville, CA — biotechnology — 2015–2017; $29.4M reported sold to 42 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 Armen Shanafelt (3 shared filings), Claus Christiansen (3 shared filings), Jocelyn Jackson (3 shared filings), Kenneth N. Horne (3 shared filings), William Newell (2 shared filings) and 2 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Symic (2 issuers, $30.8M reported sold, 2013–2017).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Symic has 2 companies on file and $30.8M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 8 court cases matching the name, 2 SEC releases, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 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 3 public filings for Barbara Yanni and found 8 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 126 days after the first sale; and more below.

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

8 differences found between the filings for Barbara Yanni — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 20, 2017 – May 26, 2017

Form D filed 126 days after the first sale — Symic Holdings, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 20, 2017. The Form D was filed May 26, 2017 — 126 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 111 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Nov 3, 2015 – Dec 7, 2015

Form D filed 34 days after the first sale — Symic Holdings, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Nov 3, 2015. The Form D was filed Dec 7, 2015 — 34 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 19 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jan 8, 2015 – Aug 7, 2015

Offering amount changed between filings — Symic Holdings, LLC

The Jan 8, 2015 filing says $15,987,171 offered; the Aug 7, 2015 Form D/A says $17,977,135.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Nov 3, 2015 – Dec 7, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Symic Holdings, LLC (latest filing Dec 7, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 7, 2015 (first sale Nov 3, 2015). It reports $25,275,417 sold of $25,399,988 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Sources
Note · Nov 17, 2014 – Aug 7, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Symic Holdings, LLC (latest filing Aug 7, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 7, 2015 (first sale Nov 17, 2014). It reports $17,670,955 sold of $17,977,135 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

Same name, different state: "Barbara Yanni" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Barbara Yanni" with address state NY, is listed on 8 filings — most recently by VACCINEX, INC. (Sep 27, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 7, 2015 to May 26, 2017; the other runs Jul 7, 2017 to Sep 27, 2024.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Same name, different state: "Barbara Yanni" (A1) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Barbara Yanni" with address state A1, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Mesentech Inc. (Apr 14, 2022). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 7, 2015 to May 26, 2017; the other has one filing dated Apr 14, 2022.

Note · Dec 7, 2015 – May 26, 2017

Address moved from San Francisco, CA to Emeryville, CA — Symic Holdings, LLC

The people listed on the Dec 7, 2015 filing give San Francisco, CA; on the May 26, 2017 filing they give Emeryville, CA. The address now on file (5980 Horton Street, Suite 600, Emeryville, CA) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 6 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

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
