The short version

Peter N. Vicars is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2012 and Aug 2013: Vgo Communications, Inc. (Nashua, NH — other technology — 2012–2013; $4.26M reported sold to 11 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 Bruce Ryan (2 shared filings), Grinnell More (2 shared filings), Nina Saberi (2 shared filings), Thomas Ryden (2 shared filings) and Ross Trimby (1 shared filing).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Vgo (2 issuers, $4.59M reported sold, 2009–2013).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Vgo has 2 companies on file and $4.59M 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, 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) — 9 court cases matching the name, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 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 2 public filings for Peter N. Vicars and found 3 differences: Form D filed 56 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.

4. Differences between public sources

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

3 differences found between the filings for Peter N. Vicars (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 7, 2012 – Nov 2, 2012

Form D filed 56 days after the first sale — Vgo Communications, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 7, 2012. The Form D was filed Nov 2, 2012 — 56 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 41 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
Note · Jul 31, 2013 – Aug 14, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vgo Communications, Inc. (latest filing Aug 14, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 14, 2013 (first sale Jul 31, 2013). It reports $3,691,806 sold of $6,288,728 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 5, 2009

Same name, different state: "Peter Vicars" (MA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NH. A separate record, "Peter Vicars" with address state MA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Rivulet Communications Inc (Oct 5, 2009). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Nov 2, 2012 to Aug 14, 2013; the other has one filing dated Oct 5, 2009.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
