The short version

Michael Benjamin is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Sep 2021: ExThera Medical Corp (Martinez, CA — other health care — 2021; $20.6M reported sold to 66 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Sep 2021. 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 Erin Borger (1 shared filing), Greg Dollarhyde (1 shared filing), John T. Preston (1 shared filing), Lakhmir Chawla (1 shared filing) and Robert S. Ward (1 shared filing).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Avenue (12 issuers, $12.8M reported sold, 2015–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Avenue has 12 companies on file and $12.8M 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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 46 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 46 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 Michael Benjamin and found 5 differences: Form D filed 45 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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.

State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

5 differences found between the filings for Michael Benjamin (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 30, 2021 – Sep 13, 2021

Form D filed 45 days after the first sale — ExThera Medical Corp

The filing says the first sale was Jul 30, 2021. The Form D was filed Sep 13, 2021 — 45 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 30 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.

Note · Jul 30, 2021 – Sep 13, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ExThera Medical Corp (latest filing Sep 13, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 13, 2021 (first sale Jul 30, 2021). It reports $6,707,507 sold of $20,000,001 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.

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.
