The short version

MICHAEL SIMATOS is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Mar 2010 and Sep 2011: Silverback Fund Ltd (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2011; $1.33B reported sold to 77 investors), INVESTCORP STONEWORKS GLOBAL MACRO FUND LTD (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2011; $706.2M reported sold to 86 investors) and IAM MINI-FUND 18 LTD (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2010–2011; $101M reported sold to 3 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director. Across those companies the filings report $2.14B sold in total.

Listed alongside CRAIG SINFIELD-HAIN (4 shared filings), Investcorp Investment Advisers Limited (4 shared filings, management entity), MUFEED RAJAB (4 shared filings), Harin de Silva Wijeyeratne (2 shared filings), Brian J. Murphy (1 shared filing) and 1 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.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Investcorp (41 issuers, $4.81B reported sold, 2009–2026) and Silverback (4 issuers, $709.7M reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 bankruptcy cases 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 4 public filings for MICHAEL SIMATOS and found 5 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 105 days after the first sale; MICHAEL SIMATOS is no longer listed on the Sep 28, 2012 amendment; 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 SIMATOS — 2 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 1, 2009 – Mar 16, 2010

Form D filed 105 days after the first sale — IAM MINI-FUND 18 LTD

The filing says the first sale was Dec 1, 2009. The Form D was filed Mar 16, 2010 — 105 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 90 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.

Sources
Worth asking · Sep 27, 2011 – Sep 28, 2012

MICHAEL SIMATOS is no longer listed on the Sep 28, 2012 amendment — Silverback Fund Ltd

MICHAEL SIMATOS appears on the Sep 27, 2011 Form D/A (director) but not on the Sep 28, 2012 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
Note · Aug 1, 2008 – Sep 27, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — INVESTCORP STONEWORKS GLOBAL MACRO FUND LTD (latest filing Sep 27, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 27, 2011 (first sale Aug 1, 2008). It reports $706,175,328 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 1, 2009 – Mar 15, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — IAM MINI-FUND 18 LTD (latest filing Mar 15, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 15, 2011 (first sale Dec 1, 2009). It reports $101,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 1, 2013 – Feb 7, 2014

Address moved from Manama, Bahrain (as filed: C6) to Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — Silverback Fund Ltd

The people listed on the Oct 1, 2013 filing give Manama, Bahrain (as filed: C6); on the Feb 7, 2014 filing they give Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9). The address now on file (Ogier Global (Cayman) Limited, 89 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9)) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 624 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

Sources
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).
