The short version

Darin Silvernagle is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2013 and Oct 2018: SAExploration Holdings, Inc. (Stafford, TX — oil and gas — 2013–2018; $60M reported sold to 13 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 Brent Whiteley (2 shared filings), Brian Beatty (2 shared filings), Gary Dalton (2 shared filings), Mike Scott (2 shared filings), ALAN MENKES (1 shared filing) and 11 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Darin. 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) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 2 public filings for Darin Silvernagle and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 6 regulator actions name the subject or team members; 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.

Bankruptcy case: SAExploration Holdings, Inc. and SAExploration Sub, Inc. — filed Aug 27, 2020

United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. Texas docket "SAExploration Holdings, Inc. and SAExploration Sub, Inc." filed Aug 27, 2020, closed Jul 13, 2021. SAExploration Holdings, Inc. (related issuer) is listed as Debtor ("SAExploration Holdings, Inc."). Our match estimate: 60%.

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.

Docket · United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. Texas ↗SAExploration Holdings, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗

Note · Jun 24, 2013 – Jul 9, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SAExploration Holdings, Inc. (latest filing Jul 9, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 9, 2013 (first sale Jun 24, 2013). It reports $38,887,639 sold of $40,521,864 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 · Jul 9, 2013 ↗SAExploration Holdings, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jul 9, 2013 – Oct 4, 2018

Industry group changed between filings — SAExploration Holdings, Inc.

"Other Energy" (Jul 9, 2013); then "Oil and Gas" (Oct 4, 2018).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Note · Jul 9, 2013 – Oct 4, 2018

Reported revenue range changed between filings — SAExploration Holdings, Inc.

"Decline to Disclose" (Jul 9, 2013); then "Over $100,000,000" (Oct 4, 2018).

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.

Address moved from Calgary, Alberta, Canada (as filed: A0) to Houston, TX — SAExploration Holdings, Inc.

The people listed on the Jul 9, 2013 filing give Calgary, Alberta, Canada (as filed: A0); on the Oct 4, 2018 filing they give Houston, TX.

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.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 2 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $750,000. (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).
