The short version

David Payne is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 22 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Aug 2014 and Mar 2023: EM ES SFL Hedge Investment SPV LP (Road Town, Tortola, Virgin Islands, British (as filed: D8) — pooled investment fund — 2014–2023; $127.3M reported sold to 3 investors), EM-ES Feeder Fund L.P. (Road Town, Tortola, Virgin Islands, British (as filed: D8) — pooled investment fund — 2014–2022; $105.9M reported sold to 12 investors) and EM ES Master Fund LLC (Road Town, Tortola, Virgin Islands, British (as filed: D8) — pooled investment fund — 2014–2015; $25M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and promoter, over about 9 years. Across those companies the filings report $258.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Anthony Steinberg (12 shared filings), EM ES Fund Management LLC (12 shared filings, management entity), EM-ES Fund Management LLP (12 shared filings, management entity) and EM ES Fund Management Ltd (5 shared filings, management entity).

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

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Em Es Sfl (2 issuers, $233.2M reported sold, 2014–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Em Es Sfl has 2 companies on file and $233.2M 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) — 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 22 public filings for David Payne and found 17 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Investor count went down between filings; David Payne is no longer listed on the Mar 22, 2024 amendment; 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

17 differences found between the filings for David Payne — 3 worth asking about (compared 22 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 11, 2018 – Apr 11, 2019

Investor count went down between filings — EM ES SFL Hedge Investment SPV LP

The Apr 11, 2018 filing reports 3 investors; the Apr 11, 2019 Form D/A reports 1 investor.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — EM ES Master Fund LLC (latest filing Aug 12, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 12, 2015 (first sale Sep 1, 2014). It reports $25,000,000 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.

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.

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

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)

A person is never an adviser firm. 3 of the 3 issuers this person is listed on match a Form ADV adviser (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026): EM ES SFL Hedge Investment SPV LP, EM-ES Feeder Fund L.P., EM ES Master Fund LLC.

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 David Payne 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 3 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
