The short version

Frederick S. Downs, Jr. is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2009: PAR INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2009; $2.24B reported sold to 280 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2009. 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 "(""GP"")" PAR Group, L.P. (1 shared filing, management entity), "(""GPGP"")" PAR Capital Management, Inc. (1 shared filing, management entity), Arthur G. Epker, III (1 shared filing), Edward L. Shapiro (1 shared filing) and Paul A. Reeder, III (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Frederick. 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) — 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 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 1 public filing for Frederick S. Downs, Jr. and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Frederick S. Downs, Jr. is no longer listed on the May 16, 2011 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.

2 differences found between the filings for Frederick S. Downs, Jr. — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 11, 2009 – May 16, 2011

Frederick S. Downs, Jr. is no longer listed on the May 16, 2011 amendment — PAR INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Frederick S. Downs, Jr. appears on the Mar 11, 2009 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the May 16, 2011 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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

Per-offering detail

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Mar 11, 2009 D/A PAR INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP File 021-103252	$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.
