(latest filing Apr 5, 2017) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FUSION-IO, INC. (latest filing Aug 19, 2011) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FUSION-IO, INC.

The Apr 13, 2009 filing lists Rick White as director; the Apr 16, 2010 Form D lists executive officer, 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.
The Nov 12, 2013 filing says $49,999,996 offered; the Dec 24, 2013 Form D/A says $62,499,981.
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.
listed as "Rick White" on 5 filings (from Apr 13, 2009), and "Rick C. White" on 2 filings (from Aug 19, 2011).
What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.
"Other Technology" (Apr 13, 2009 to Apr 16, 2010); then "Other" (Aug 19, 2011 to May 7, 2013).
What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.
"Decline to Disclose" (Apr 13, 2009); then "Over $100,000,000" (Aug 19, 2011).
What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.
The issuer's latest filing says it was formed in 2010. The Apr 13, 2009 filing says the first sale was Apr 3, 2009 — before that year.
What this means A company cannot sell before it exists, so one of the two dates is likely a typo on the form. Ask the sponsor for the formation document.

UT on 6 filings (Apr 13, 2009 to Dec 24, 2013); CA on 1 filing (Apr 5, 2017).
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: 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.

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).
