The short version

Robert B. Karn III is listed as a director on 17 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jan 2010 and Apr 2021: KCM SMALL CAP CORE FUND LLC (St Louis, MO — pooled investment fund — 2013–2020; $6.3M reported sold to 1 investors), KENNEDY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. (St Louis, MO — investing — 2010–2021; $2.34M reported sold to 27 investors) and KCM MID CAP VALUE FUND LLC (St Louis, MO — pooled investment fund — 2014; $250K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $8.89M sold in total.

Listed alongside Richard Ernest Oliver (17 shared filings), Don Cobin (15 shared filings), Richard Henry Sinise (14 shared filings), Frank Andrew Latuda, Jr. (10 shared filings), John M. Hillhouse (9 shared filings) and 15 others.

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

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Kennedy (3 issuers, $2.06M reported sold, 2010–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Kennedy has 3 companies on file and $2.06M 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) — 13 court cases matching the name, 1 state regulator order, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 21 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 17 public filings for Robert B. Karn III and found 3 differences: Robert B. Karn III appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; Form D filed 17 days after the first sale; 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.

2. Regulatory actions

1 state regulator order

Individuals Barred or Suspended FINRA · Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)
Order date not stated in the index entry we read · Regulator: Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) · Parties (regulator's caption): Susan Mae Karn (CRD #5218398, Registered Representative, Wimbledon, North Dakota)
As listed by the regulator: Susan Mae Karn (CRD #5218398, Registered Representative, Wimbledon, North Dakota) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which she was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for six months. Without admitting or denying the findings, Karn consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that she allowed a customer to sign relatives’ names on life insurance applications, and before Karn submitted them for processing, she signed the insurance applications and certified that she had witnessed each of the proposed signatures on the insurance applications. FINRA found that when the firm questioned Karn about the authenticity of the client’s signature, Karn initially stated it was the client’s original signature, but when questioned further, admitted she had signed the client’s name and in doing so, Karn misled her firm during its internal investigation into a customer complaint.

4. Differences between public sources

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

3 differences found between the filings for Robert B. Karn III (compared 17 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 12, 2021

Robert B. Karn III appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

KENNEDY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. (last filing Apr 12, 2021; $2,344,185 sold of $12,726,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Note · Sep 30, 2011 – Oct 17, 2011

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — KENNEDY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 30, 2011. The Form D was filed Oct 17, 2011 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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 · Jan 1, 2010 – Apr 12, 2021

14 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — KENNEDY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.

(latest filing Jul 5, 2018) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — KCM SMALL CAP CORE FUND LLC (latest filing Dec 20, 2017) · and 9 more

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

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).

Deals 3

Every issuer that named Robert B. Karn III on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

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); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 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)

A person is never an adviser firm. 3 of the 3 issuers this person is listed on match a Form ADV adviser (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026): KENNEDY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC., KCM SMALL CAP CORE FUND LLC, KCM MID CAP VALUE FUND LLC.

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 Robert B. Karn III 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 3 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
