The short version

Gavin Lockyer is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2017 and Aug 2019: Arafura Resources Ltd (Perth, Australia (as filed: C3) — other energy — 2017–2019; $1.51M reported sold to 5 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 Chris Tonkin (4 shared filings), Ian Kowalick (3 shared filings), Mark Southey (3 shared filings), Quansheng Zhang (3 shared filings), Quangsheng Zhang (1 shared filing) and 2 others.

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

What this means 9 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 4 public filings for Gavin Lockyer and found 5 differences: CRD number for Mann Mann Jensen Partners LP appears on one filing and not another; Form D filed 17 days after the first sale; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Gavin Lockyer (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 23, 2018 – Aug 5, 2019

CRD number for Mann Mann Jensen Partners LP appears on one filing and not another — Arafura Resources Ltd

The Aug 23, 2018 filing lists Mann Mann Jensen Partners LP with CRD 137389; the Aug 5, 2019 Form D lists the same name with no CRD number.

What this means A CRD number is how you look a seller up on FINRA BrokerCheck. Missing it on a later form is usually a paperwork slip — use the number from the earlier form to check them.

Sources
Note · Jul 19, 2019 – Aug 5, 2019

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Arafura Resources Ltd

The filing says the first sale was Jul 19, 2019. The Form D was filed Aug 5, 2019 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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 · Oct 27, 2017 – Dec 14, 2017

Form D filed 48 days after the first sale — Arafura Resources Ltd

The filing says the first sale was Oct 27, 2017. The Form D was filed Dec 14, 2017 — 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 · Dec 20, 2018 – Aug 5, 2019

Gavin Lockyer's role changed at Arafura Resources Ltd: executive officer, director → executive officer

The Dec 20, 2018 filing lists Gavin Lockyer as executive officer, director; the Aug 5, 2019 Form D lists executive officer.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Oct 27, 2017 – Dec 14, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Arafura Resources Ltd (latest filing Dec 14, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 14, 2017 (first sale Oct 27, 2017). It reports $562,500 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.

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).
