The short version

Robert M. McLaughlin is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jan 2018: BEACON ROOFING SUPPLY INC (Herndon, VA — industry reported as "Other" — 2018; $400M reported sold to 45 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jan 2018. 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 Alan Gershenhorn (1 shared filing), Carl Berquist (1 shared filing), Douglas L. Young (1 shared filing), Gregory T. Jorgensen (1 shared filing), Joseph Nowicki (1 shared filing) and 8 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.

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) — 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 1 public filing for Robert M. McLaughlin and found 5 differences: Same name, different state: "Robert McLaughlin" (CT or NJ) is a separate record; Same name, different state: "Robert McLaughlin" (TX) is a separate record; 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.

Note · Jul 12, 2012 – Jan 30, 2025

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.
