The short version

DOUGLAS E HOWES is listed as an executive officer on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2009 and Sep 2011: TRANZEO WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES INC (Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — telecommunications — 2009–2011; $2.96M reported sold to 19 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 GEORGE ZHU (6 shared filings), JAMES A TOCHER (6 shared filings), Patrick R. Smith (6 shared filings), TRUDI KLOEPPER (6 shared filings), DAMIAN WALLACE (4 shared filings) and 6 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Tranzeo (2 issuers, $397K reported sold, 2009–2014).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Tranzeo has 2 companies on file and $397K 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, 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 bankruptcy 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 6 public filings for DOUGLAS E HOWES and found 7 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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

7 differences found between the filings for DOUGLAS E HOWES — 2 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 1, 2009 – Jan 7, 2010

Amount sold went down between filings — TRANZEO WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES INC

The Oct 1, 2009 filing says $1,404,100 sold; the Jan 7, 2010 Form D says $147,792 sold — $1,256,308 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 1, 2009 – Jan 7, 2010

Investor count went down between filings — TRANZEO WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES INC

The Oct 1, 2009 filing reports 4 investors; the Jan 7, 2010 Form D 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 18, 2009 – Aug 5, 2009

Form D filed 48 days after the first sale — TRANZEO WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES INC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 18, 2009. The Form D was filed Aug 5, 2009 — 48 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 33 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.

Sources
Note · Aug 18, 2011 – Aug 31, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — TRANZEO WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES INC (latest filing Aug 31, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 31, 2011 (first sale Aug 18, 2011). It reports $101,000 sold of $252,500 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 1, 2009 – Jan 7, 2010

Offering amount lowered between filings — TRANZEO WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES INC

The Oct 1, 2009 filing says $1,404,100 offered; the Jan 7, 2010 Form D says $147,792.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · Aug 5, 2009 – Oct 1, 2009

Offering amount changed between filings — TRANZEO WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES INC

The Aug 5, 2009 filing says $390,313 offered; the Oct 1, 2009 Form D says $1,404,100.

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.

Sources
Note · Aug 5, 2009 – Jan 7, 2010

Reported revenue range changed between filings — TRANZEO WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES INC

"$5,000,001 - $25,000,000" (Aug 5, 2009); then "Decline to Disclose" (Jan 7, 2010).

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.

Sources
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).
