The short version

Bret Leas is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 11 SEC Form D filings by 6 issuers between Feb 2014 and Dec 2025. Largest by amount reported sold: Apollo Multi Asset Credit Replacement (Onshore), L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2014; $3.39B reported sold to 303 investors), Apollo Asset Backed Credit Co LLC (New York, NY — industry reported as "Other" — 2024–2025; $1.59B reported sold to 3,507 investors), Apollo Multi Asset Credit Replacement (Exempt), L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2014; $1.06B reported sold to 46 investors), Apollo Offshore Structured Credit Recovery Fund III Ltd. (Purchase, NY — pooled investment fund — 2014; $1B reported sold to 32 investors), Irradiant CLO Opportunities Fund, L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2025; $282.9M reported sold to 43 investors) and 1 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $7.4B sold in total.

Listed alongside James H. Simmons III (6 shared filings), John Chrystal (6 shared filings), Michael Paniwozik (6 shared filings), Nancy De Liban (6 shared filings), Stuart Rothstein (6 shared filings) and 42 others.

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

All 6 issuers belong to the sponsor group Apollo (520 issuers, $556.2B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Apollo has 520 companies on file and $556.2B 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 27 court cases matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 32 records came back. 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 11 public filings for Bret Leas and found 7 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 231 days after the first sale; Form D filed 152 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.

Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.

4. Differences between public sources

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

7 differences found between the filings for Bret Leas — 3 worth asking about (compared 11 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 28, 2024 – Feb 14, 2025

Form D filed 231 days after the first sale — Apollo Asset Backed Credit Co LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 28, 2024. The Form D was filed Feb 14, 2025 — 231 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 216 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Form D filed 152 days after the first sale — Apollo Asset Backed Credit Co LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 28, 2024. The Form D was filed Nov 27, 2024 — 152 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 137 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.

Form D · Nov 27, 2024 ↗Apollo Asset Backed Credit Co LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Aug 7, 2024 – Aug 27, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Irradiant CLO Opportunities Fund, L.P. (latest filing Aug 27, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 27, 2025 (first sale Aug 7, 2024). It reports $282,860,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

Form D/A · Aug 27, 2025 ↗Irradiant CLO Opportunities Fund, L.P. — PartnerFacts page ↗

Worth asking · Feb 28, 2014 – Mar 23, 2016

4 people are no longer listed on a later amendment

Bret Leas is no longer listed on the Mar 23, 2016 amendment — Apollo Multi Asset Credit Replacement Co-Investors (A), L.P. · Bret Leas is no longer listed on the Mar 23, 2016 amendment — Apollo Multi Asset Credit Replacement (Exempt), L.P. · Bret Leas is no longer listed on the Mar 23, 2016 amendment — Apollo Multi Asset Credit Replacement (Onshore), L.P. · Bret Leas is no longer listed on the Nov 20, 2014 amendment — Apollo Offshore Structured Credit Recovery Fund III Ltd.

What this means People leave; the issuer lists only current officers, directors and promoters. Ask why and who replaced them.

The Mar 10, 2014 filing says $250,000,000 offered; the Nov 20, 2014 Form D/A says $600,000,000.

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.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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

Deals 6

Every issuer that named Bret Leas on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

Sources

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name Bret Leas.

Same business address

51 other issuers file from the same address (first 50 shown)

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 6 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Bret Leas by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 6 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.

Public profiles and social
