The short version

MICHAEL FARLEY is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2016 and Oct 2019: Tile, Inc. (San Mateo, CA — other technology — 2016–2019; $46.5M reported sold to 9 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 Byron Deeter (4 shared filings), Jeff Richards (4 shared filings), "CHARLES ""CJ""" PROBER (2 shared filings), ANDREW KOWAL (2 shared filings), JACK LAZAR (2 shared filings) and 5 others.

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.

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, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 4 public filings for MICHAEL FARLEY and found 5 differences: 5 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; Form D filed 18 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 MICHAEL FARLEY (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 19, 2008 – Oct 8, 2015

5 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members

Bankruptcy case: T.S. Stone and Tile, Inc. — filed Jul 13, 2015 · Bankruptcy case: Rai v. Prober & Raphael LLP — filed Jun 27, 2013 · Bankruptcy case: Miconi Marble and Tile, Inc. — filed Sep 27, 2008 · Bankruptcy case: Fairway Granite and Tile, Inc. — filed Aug 17, 2009 · Bankruptcy case: Barbour Natural Stone and Tile, Inc. — filed Feb 19, 2008

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Note · Jul 11, 2019 – Jul 29, 2019

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — Tile, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 11, 2019. The Form D was filed Jul 29, 2019 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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.

Form D · Jul 29, 2019 ↗Tile, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jul 29, 2019 – Oct 23, 2019

MICHAEL FARLEY's role changed at Tile, Inc.: executive officer, director → director

The Jul 29, 2019 filing lists MICHAEL FARLEY as executive officer, director; the Oct 23, 2019 Form D/A lists director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Note · Jul 29, 2019 – Oct 23, 2019

Offering amount changed between filings — Tile, Inc.

The Jul 29, 2019 filing says $44,644,983 offered; the Oct 23, 2019 Form D/A says $46,496,835.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Same name, different state: "Michael R. Farley" (AZ) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Michael R. Farley" with address state AZ, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Digital Reg of Texas, LLC (Jun 22, 2018). Both records have filings in the same period (Jun 2, 2016 to Jun 22, 2018).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. 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 3 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.

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 1 issuer this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.
