The short version

Jeff Spain is listed as an executive officer on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Nov 2012 and Jul 2022: RENTECH, INC. (Los Angeles, CA — agriculture — 2014; $100M reported sold to 8 investors), Rentech Nitrogen Partners, L.P. (Los Angeles, CA — agriculture — 2012; $20M reported sold to 1 investors) and Plant Prefab, Inc. (Arvin, CA — manufacturing — 2022; $19.4M reported sold to 32 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 10 years. Across those companies the filings report $139.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Andrew Beebe (2 shared filings), Colin M. Morris (2 shared filings), D. Hunt Ramsbottom (2 shared filings), Daipayan Bhattacharya (2 shared filings), Dan J. Cohrs (2 shared filings) and 22 others.

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

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Rentech (2 issuers, $120M reported sold, 2012–2014).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Rentech has 2 companies on file and $120M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).

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.

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).
