The short version

Michael Kaplan is listed as an executive officer and director on 9 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Dec 2010 and Feb 2018: LJ/HAH Holdings Corp (Greenwich, CT — industry reported as "Other" — 2010; $117.7M reported sold to 13 investors), LJ Energy Services Holdings, LLC (Greenwich, CT — other energy — 2014; $101.4M reported sold to 6 investors) and Littlejohn Opportunities Fund LP (Greenwich, CT — pooled investment fund — 2012–2018; $91M reported sold to 92 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 8 years. Across those companies the filings report $310.1M sold in total.

Listed alongside Brian E. Ramsay (8 shared filings), Michael Klein (8 shared filings), Angus C. Littlejohn, Jr. (7 shared filings), Antonio Miranda (7 shared filings), David Simon (7 shared filings) and 14 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.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Littlejohn (28 issuers, $1.72B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Littlejohn has 28 companies on file and $1.72B 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 court cases matching the name, 47 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 51 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 9 public filings for Michael Kaplan and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 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.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

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

7 differences found between the filings for Michael Kaplan — 1 worth asking about (compared 9 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Feb 28, 2017 – Feb 14, 2018

Investor count went down between filings — Littlejohn Opportunities Fund LP

The Feb 28, 2017 filing reports 92 investors; the Feb 14, 2018 Form D/A reports 60 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Note · Jan 1, 2011 – Feb 14, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Littlejohn Opportunities Fund LP (latest filing Feb 14, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 14, 2018 (first sale Jan 1, 2011). It reports $91,038,000 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 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.
