The short version

M. David Makin is listed as a director on 18 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Feb 2010 and Jun 2018: JNE Fund Ltd (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2010–2018; $274.6M reported sold to 25 investors), MSD Torchlight Partners, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2014–2017; $55M reported sold to 5 investors), Sursum Offshore Fund, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2011; $54.5M reported sold to 7 investors) and MSD Energy Partners, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2011–2015; $16.5M reported sold to 5 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 8 years. Across those companies the filings report $400.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Tammy Jennissen (18 shared filings), John Phelan (8 shared filings), David MSD Partners, L.P. (6 shared filings, management entity), Glenn Fuhrman (5 shared filings), Marc R. Lisker (2 shared filings) and 3 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Bdt (77 issuers, $19.02B reported sold, 2009–2026) and Jne (4 issuers, $1.28B reported sold, 2010–2026).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 18 public filings for M. David Makin and found 6 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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

6 differences found between the filings for M. David Makin — 3 worth asking about (compared 18 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 8, 2018 – May 2, 2019

Amount sold went down between filings — JNE Fund Ltd

The Jun 8, 2018 filing says $274,600,000 sold; the May 2, 2019 Form D/A says $195,100,000 sold — $79,500,000 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Worth asking · May 10, 2012 – May 16, 2013

Investor count went down between filings — JNE Fund Ltd

The May 10, 2012 filing reports 9 investors; the May 16, 2013 Form D/A reports 8 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Note · Mar 1, 2014 – Jun 9, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — MSD Torchlight Partners, Ltd. (latest filing Jun 9, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 9, 2017 (first sale Mar 1, 2014). It reports $55,000,000 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.

M. David Makin appears on the Jun 8, 2018 Form D/A (director) but not on the May 2, 2019 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

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).

Same business address

51 other issuers file from the same address (first 50 shown)

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

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); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 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)

A person is never an adviser firm. 1 of the 4 issuers this person is listed on matches a Form ADV adviser (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026): JNE Fund Ltd.

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 none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to M. David Makin 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 4 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
