The short version

John E. Bowser III is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2010 and Oct 2011: NewWood Corp (Elma, WA — manufacturing — 2010–2011; $650K 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 Gary E Gist (2 shared filings), George P. Shenas (2 shared filings), Brian Tegen (1 shared filing), J Russell Phillips (1 shared filing) and Russ Phillips (1 shared filing).

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.

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 court case matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 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 2 public filings for John E. Bowser III and found 5 differences: John E. Bowser III appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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 John E. Bowser III (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 13, 2011

John E. Bowser III appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

NewWood Corp (last filing Oct 13, 2011; $650,000 sold of $2,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Note · Oct 2, 2011 – Oct 13, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — NewWood Corp (latest filing Oct 13, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 13, 2011 (first sale Oct 2, 2011). It reports $650,000 sold of $2,000,000 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 · Aug 20, 2010 – Oct 13, 2011

John E. Bowser III is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "John E. Bowser III" on the Aug 20, 2010 filing, and "John E. Bowser" on the Oct 13, 2011 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Aug 20, 2010 – Oct 13, 2011

Reported revenue range changed between filings — NewWood Corp

"No Revenues" (Aug 20, 2010); then "Decline to Disclose" (Oct 13, 2011).

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
Note · Aug 20, 2010 – Oct 13, 2011

Address moved from Carlsbad, CA to Del Mar, CA — NewWood Corp

The people listed on the Aug 20, 2010 filing give Carlsbad, CA; on the Oct 13, 2011 filing they give Del Mar, CA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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.

5. Money to insiders

1 of 2 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $113,000; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (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).
