The short version

Robert Thomas Murphy is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Sep 2013 and Oct 2016: Cobham plc (Wimborne, Dorset, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) — manufacturing — 2013–2016; $33.4M reported sold to 154 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 Alison Wood (4 shared filings), David Jonathan Flint (4 shared filings), John Devaney (4 shared filings), Michael Hagee (4 shared filings), Michael Wareing (4 shared filings) and 5 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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 1 SEC release listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 Robert Thomas Murphy and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Robert Thomas Murphy is no longer listed on the Sep 1, 2017 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

9 differences found between the filings for Robert Thomas Murphy — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 14, 2016 – Sep 1, 2017

Robert Thomas Murphy is no longer listed on the Sep 1, 2017 amendment — Cobham plc

Robert Thomas Murphy appears on the Oct 14, 2016 Form D/A (director) but not on the Sep 1, 2017 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 · Apr 19, 2012 – Sep 3, 2013

Offering amount changed between filings — Cobham plc

The Apr 19, 2012 filing says $10,000,000 offered; the Sep 3, 2013 Form D/A says an indefinite amount.

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.

Sources
Note · Oct 26, 2010 – Sep 3, 2013

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Cobham plc

"Over $100,000,000" (Oct 26, 2010); then "Decline to Disclose" (Sep 3, 2013).

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.

Sources
Note · Apr 28, 2021

Same name, different state: "Robert Murphy" (AZ) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is X0. A separate record, "Robert Murphy" with address state AZ, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Alternate36, Inc. (Apr 28, 2021). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Sep 3, 2013 to Oct 14, 2016; the other has one filing dated Apr 28, 2021.

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
Note · Sep 22, 2015 – Oct 14, 2016

Address moved from Dorset, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) to Wimborne, Dorset, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) — Cobham plc

The people listed on the Sep 22, 2015 filing give Dorset, United Kingdom (as filed: X0); on the Oct 14, 2016 filing they give Wimborne, Dorset, United Kingdom (as filed: X0).

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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.
