The short version

Mark Polebaum is listed as an executive officer on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2009 and Feb 2014: MFS INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO, A SERIES OF THE MFS SERIES TRUST XIV (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2009–2014; $8.61B reported sold to 132 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 David H. Gunning (6 shared filings), John C. Corcoran (6 shared filings), John P. Kavanaugh (6 shared filings), Laurie J. Thomsen (6 shared filings), Maureen F. Goldfarb (6 shared filings) and 12 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Mfs (13 issuers, $7.7B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Mfs has 13 companies on file and $7.7B 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 (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) — 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 6 public filings for Mark Polebaum and found 5 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale; Mark Polebaum is no longer listed on the May 29, 2014 amendment; 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 Mark Polebaum — 2 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 19, 2007 – Feb 6, 2014

4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 2,516 days after the first sale — MFS INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO, A SERIES OF THE MFS SERIES TRUST XIV · Form D filed 2,151 days after the first sale — MFS INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO, A SERIES OF THE MFS SERIES TRUST XIV · Form D filed 1,787 days after the first sale — MFS INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO, A SERIES OF THE MFS SERIES TRUST XIV · Form D filed 725 days after the first sale — MFS INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO, A SERIES OF THE MFS SERIES TRUST XIV

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

Note · Mar 19, 2007 – Feb 6, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — MFS INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO, A SERIES OF THE MFS SERIES TRUST XIV (latest filing Feb 6, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 6, 2013 (first sale Mar 19, 2007). It reports $0 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.

Worth asking · Feb 6, 2014 – May 29, 2014

Mark Polebaum is no longer listed on the May 29, 2014 amendment — MFS INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO, A SERIES OF THE MFS SERIES TRUST XIV

Mark Polebaum appears on the Feb 6, 2014 Form D (executive officer) but not on the May 29, 2014 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.

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.
