1 difference found between the filings for Brian Klos (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. California docket "Decker v. KLOS-FM Radio, Inc." filed Apr 5, 2004, closed Oct 27, 2004. Brian Klos is listed as Defendant ("KLOS-FM Radio, Inc."). Our match estimate: 47%.
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.
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.
None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 18, 2021 D AOT Packaging Products, L.P. File 021-392636 | $0 | $0 | $0 | None listed on this filing | EDGAR ↗ |
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).
Every issuer that named Brian Klos on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.
Raised $131.5M from 97 investors (100% of the $131.5M target) as of the latest filing. Brian is listed as director.

"Similar" = offerings in the same industry claiming the same exemption, filed in the last 5 years: Manufacturing / 506(b) (1,339 filings); ranges are the middle half (25th–75th percentile). Computed by PartnerFacts from SEC EDGAR Form D data as of Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET. Rows without a range: fewer than 30 comparable filings, or not a Rule 506 offering. No ranking or score.
