The short version

Rolf A. Classon is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between May 2009 and Oct 2009: XANODYNE PHARMACEUTICALS INC (Newport, KY — pharmaceuticals — 2009; $87.8M reported sold to 35 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2009. 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 Craig Tooman (3 shared filings), Daniel W. Docherty (3 shared filings), Dennis Purcell (3 shared filings), Gary A. Shangold (3 shared filings), James S. Shannon (3 shared filings) and 13 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Rolf. 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) — 3 court cases matching the name, 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 3 public filings for Rolf A. Classon and found 5 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Rolf A. Classon — 2 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 21, 2009 – Oct 5, 2009

Amount sold went down between filings — XANODYNE PHARMACEUTICALS INC

The May 21, 2009 filing says $37,783,864 sold; the Oct 5, 2009 Form D says $0 sold — $37,783,864 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Worth asking · May 21, 2009 – Oct 5, 2009

Investor count went down between filings — XANODYNE PHARMACEUTICALS INC

The May 21, 2009 filing reports 25 investors; the Oct 5, 2009 Form D reports 0 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

The Oct 5, 2009 filing says $6,022,000 offered; the Oct 30, 2009 Form D/A says $87,783,861.

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.

Note · May 31, 2019

Same name, different state: "Rolf A. Classon" (NJ) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is KY. A separate record, "Rolf A. Classon" with address state NJ, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Catalent, Inc. (May 31, 2019). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs May 21, 2009 to Oct 30, 2009; the other has one filing dated May 31, 2019.

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.

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.

5. Money to insiders

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).
