The short version

David S. Smith is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2017 and Jul 2018: CHEVRON PHILLIPS CHEMICAL CO LP (The Woodlands, TX — other energy — 2017–2018; $107.5M reported sold to 142 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 David Morgan (2 shared filings), Kate L. Holzhauser (2 shared filings), Kevin J. Mitchell (2 shared filings), Mark E. Lashier (2 shared filings), Michael E. Coyle (2 shared filings) and 14 others.

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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 SEC releases, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 2 public filings for David S. Smith and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: David S. Smith is no longer listed on the Jul 2, 2019 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

6 differences found between the filings for David S. Smith — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 2, 2018 – Jul 2, 2019

David S. Smith is no longer listed on the Jul 2, 2019 amendment — CHEVRON PHILLIPS CHEMICAL CO LP

David S. Smith appears on the Jul 2, 2018 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Jul 2, 2019 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

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.

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.
