The short version

John Grace is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Apr 2015: OPTIONS CLEARING CORP (Chicago, IL — industry reported as "Other" — 2015; $740K reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 2015. 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 Alice Patricia White (1 shared filing), Amy Lawson (1 shared filing), Carolyn Mitchell (1 shared filing), Christine L. Show (1 shared filing), Craig C. Messinger (1 shared filing) and 27 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 3 court cases matching the name, 29 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 32 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 1 public filing for John Grace and found 4 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action naming a team member: The Options Clearing Corporation (Feb 16, 2023); Regulator action naming a team member: The Options Clearing Corporation (Sep 4, 2019); 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.

OPTIONS CLEARING CORP — PartnerFacts page ↗ (Mar 16, 2026)

Note · Dec 14, 2022

Same name, different state: "John R Grace Jr" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is IL. A separate record, "John R Grace Jr" with address state FL, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by NearSea Capital Fund, LP (Dec 14, 2022). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Apr 10, 2015; the other has one filing dated Dec 14, 2022.

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.

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
Apr 10, 2015 D/A OPTIONS CLEARING CORP File 021-215337	$0	$0	$0 OCC will not receive any proceeds from the OTC Options. OCC charges clearing fees with respect to the OTC Options and no such fees will be paid to any of OCC's executive officers, directors or promoters.	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.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 1 issuer this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records 3 records on 1 issuer

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to John Grace by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 1 issuer this person is listed on — 1 issuer has property records: OPTIONS CLEARING CORP (3).
