The short version

Mark R. Benham is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer in Apr 2011: ASCENSION INSURANCE HOLDINGS, LLC (Kansas City, MO — insurance — 2011; $14.3M reported sold to 26 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 2011. 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 ANDREW CALDWELL DODSON (2 shared filings), Gerard Vecchio (2 shared filings), JONATHAN O. GRAD (2 shared filings), Leonard P. Kline, Jr. (2 shared filings) and Robert Schneider (2 shared filings).

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 Parthenon (28 issuers, $4.09B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Parthenon has 28 companies on file and $4.09B 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) — 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 Mark R. Benham and found 5 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 81 days after the first sale; Form D filed 208 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.

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 R. Benham — 2 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Feb 4, 2011 – Apr 26, 2011

Form D filed 81 days after the first sale — ASCENSION INSURANCE HOLDINGS, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Feb 4, 2011. The Form D was filed Apr 26, 2011 — 81 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 66 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.

Sources
Worth asking · Sep 30, 2010 – Apr 26, 2011

Form D filed 208 days after the first sale — ASCENSION INSURANCE HOLDINGS, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Sep 30, 2010. The Form D was filed Apr 26, 2011 — 208 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 193 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Feb 4, 2011 – Apr 26, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ASCENSION INSURANCE HOLDINGS, LLC (latest filing Apr 26, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 26, 2011 (first sale Feb 4, 2011). It reports $6,372,000 sold of $8,153,011 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 · Mar 19, 2018

Same name, different state: "Mark Benham" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Mark Benham" with address state TX, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by WFI, Inc. (Mar 19, 2018). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Apr 26, 2011; the other has one filing dated Mar 19, 2018.

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.

Note · Aug 31, 2009 – Aug 9, 2010

Same name, different state: "Mark Benham" (A1) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Mark Benham" with address state A1, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Live Current Media Inc. (Aug 9, 2010). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Apr 26, 2011; the other runs Aug 31, 2009 to Aug 9, 2010.

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 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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.
