The short version

Mark E. Leyerle is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 6 SEC Form D filings by 6 issuers between Aug 2009 and Dec 2020. Largest by amount reported sold: Freestone Refrigeration Partners, LP (Houston, TX — investing — 2009; $5.27M reported sold to 33 investors), Freestone Ergonomic Seating Partners, L.P. (Houston, TX — investing — 2013; $5.13M reported sold to 16 investors), Freestone Fab & Repair Partners, LP (Houston, TX — investing — 2020; $3.24M reported sold to 20 investors), Freestone Plank Partners, LP (Houston, TX — investing — 2018), Freestone Industrial Fabrication Partners, L.P. (Houston, TX — investing — 2014) and 1 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and promoter, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $13.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Scott Clingan (3 shared filings), George L. Clark (1 shared filing) and James D. Briggs (1 shared filing).

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.

All 6 issuers belong to the sponsor group Freestone (6 issuers, $13.6M reported sold, 2009–2020).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Freestone has 6 companies on file and $13.6M 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 E. Leyerle and found 9 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Mark E. Leyerle appears on 3 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target; Form D filed 168 days after the first sale; 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.

Worth asking · Jul 13, 2020 – Dec 28, 2020

Form D filed 168 days after the first sale — Freestone Fab & Repair Partners, LP

The filing says the first sale was Jul 13, 2020. The Form D was filed Dec 28, 2020 — 168 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 153 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Same name, different state: "Mark E. Leyerle" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is TX. A separate record, "Mark E. Leyerle" with address state CA, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Purple Mixer, Inc. (Nov 8, 2022). Both records have filings in the same period (May 12, 2020 to Dec 28, 2020).

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).
