The short version

John Dills is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Jul 2009 and Jan 2012: BDT CAPITAL PARTNERS FUND I, L.P. (Chicago, IL — pooled investment fund — 2009–2011; $2B reported sold to 90 investors), Weber-Stephen Products LLC (Palatine, IL — manufacturing — 2010; $150M reported sold to 6 investors), Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co., LLC (Houston, TX — investment banking — 2011; $110M reported sold to 43 investors) and BDT Capital Partners Annex Fund, L.P. (Chicago, IL — pooled investment fund — 2012).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $2.26B sold in total.

Listed alongside WILLIAM ROBERT BUSH (6 shared filings), Byron David Trott (4 shared filings), Kelly Rainko (4 shared filings), BDT Capital Partners, LLC (3 shared filings, management entity), BDTCP GP I, LLC (3 shared filings, management entity) and 23 others.

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

3 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Bdt (26 issuers, $32.36B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Bdt has 26 companies on file and $32.36B 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 7 court cases matching the name, 3 SEC releases, 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 21 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 6 public filings for John Dills and found 2 differences: Same name, different state: "John Patrick Dills" (IL) is a separate record; John Dills is listed with 2 different address states: IL, TX.

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

2 differences found between the filings for John Dills (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 28, 2022 – Mar 4, 2026

Same name, different state: "John Patrick Dills" (IL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is IL or TX. A separate record, "John Patrick Dills" with address state IL, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by Great Plains Capital Fund, L.P. (Mar 4, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jul 23, 2009 to Jan 9, 2012; the other runs Mar 28, 2022 to Mar 4, 2026.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Jul 23, 2009 – Jan 9, 2012

John Dills is listed with 2 different address states: IL, TX

IL on 4 filings (Jul 23, 2009 to Jan 9, 2012); TX on 2 filings (May 10, 2011 to Jun 22, 2011).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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

1 of 5 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $1,500,000; 1 reports finder's fees totalling $1,000,000; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $26,000,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
