The short version

Michael Germino is listed as an executive officer and director on 48 SEC Form D filings by 11 issuers between Feb 2016 and Sep 2026. Largest by amount reported sold: Ghisallo International Fund Ltd (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2020–2025; $2.95B reported sold to 73 investors), Key Square International Fund Ltd (Greenwich, CT — pooled investment fund — 2016–2021; $1.59B reported sold to 68 investors), Key Square Partners LP (Greenwich, CT — pooled investment fund — 2016–2021; $827.8M reported sold to 45 investors), Ghisallo Partners LP (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2020–2026; $271.5M reported sold to 38 investors), Ghisallo Credit Opportunity Master Fund LP (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2023–2026; $180.7M reported sold to 2 investors) and 6 more (all listed below).

What this means That is a lot of deals — 11 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 10 years. Across those companies the filings report $6.21B sold in total.

Listed alongside John Ackerley (19 shared filings), Philip Dickie (19 shared filings), Key Square Fund MGP LLC (13 shared filings, management entity), Scott Kenneth Homer Bessent (13 shared filings), Ghisallo Credit Opportunity Fund General Partner LP (6 shared filings, management entity) and 10 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.

All 11 issuers belong to the sponsor group Key Square (11 issuers, $6.05B reported sold, 2016–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Key Square has 11 companies on file and $6.05B 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, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 48 public filings for Michael Germino and found 10 differences, 5 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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.

10 differences found between the filings for Michael Germino — 5 worth asking about (compared 48 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 26, 1997 – Nov 13, 1997

United States Bankruptcy Court, C.D. California docket "Chevy Chase Bank v. Germino" filed Jun 26, 1997, closed Nov 13, 1997. Michael Germino is listed as Defendant ("Germino"). Our match estimate: 40%.

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.

Amount sold went down between filings — Key Square Partners II LP

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 30, 2017 (first sale Jan 16, 2017). It reports $65,000,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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 this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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.

The team behind the deals

KS
Sponsor group

Key Square

11 issuers · 58 filings · $6.05B reported sold · 2016–2026

One team, 11 deal companies. Michael Germino is listed on 11 of them.

Sources

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name Michael Germino.

Same business address

51 other issuers file from the same address (first 50 shown)

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 11 issuers 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.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Michael Germino by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 11 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.

Public profiles and social

Websites and social links of the issuers Michael Germino is listed on: none on file. No website or social profile named in Ghisallo International Fund Ltd's SEC filings (Form C, Reg A, Form ADV; checked Oct 24, 2026).
