The short version

Robert Ward is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2022 and Dec 2023: Hover Energy, LLC (Dallas, TX — other energy — 2022–2023; $945K reported sold to 13 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 Christopher Griffin (2 shared filings), Gentry Beach (2 shared filings), John Fagnant (2 shared filings), Patrick George (2 shared filings), Stephen Straty (2 shared filings) and 2 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 SEC releases, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 Robert Ward and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 126 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.

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 Ward — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 31, 2023 – Dec 4, 2023

Form D filed 126 days after the first sale — Hover Energy, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 31, 2023. The Form D was filed Dec 4, 2023 — 126 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 111 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 12, 2022 – Jul 29, 2022

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Hover Energy, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 12, 2022. The Form D was filed Jul 29, 2022 — 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.

Note · Jul 31, 2023 – Dec 4, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Hover Energy, LLC (latest filing Dec 4, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 4, 2023 (first sale Jul 31, 2023). It reports $780,000 sold of $1,750,000 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.

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.

"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.
