The short version

Matt Smith is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2011: Bauer Performance Sports Ltd. (Greenland, NH — manufacturing — 2011; $1.3M reported sold to 39 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 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 Amir Rosenthal (1 shared filing), Bernard McDonell (1 shared filing), Bob Nicholson (1 shared filing), Chris Anderson (1 shared filing), Edward Kinnaly (1 shared filing) and 12 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Matt. 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, 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) — 2 court cases matching the name, 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 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 1 public filing for Matt Smith and found 4 differences: Same name, different state: "Matt Smith" (CA) is a separate record; Same name, different state: "Matt Smith" (UT) is a separate record; 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.

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).
