The short version

Ronald S. Beard is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jun 2009 and Nov 2010: CALLAWAY GOLF CO (Carlsbad, CA — manufacturing — 2009; $140M reported sold to 3 investors) and JAVO BEVERAGE CO INC (Vista, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2010; $5M reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director. Across those companies the filings report $145M sold in total.

Listed alongside Gary A. Lillian (2 shared filings), Jerry W. Carlton (2 shared filings), Richard B. Specter (2 shared filings), Richard Gartrell (2 shared filings), Scott P. Dickey (2 shared filings) and 17 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Ronald. 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) — 1 court case matching the name, 14 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 15 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 3 public filings for Ronald S. Beard and found 1 difference: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open.

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.

State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.

4. Differences between public sources

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

1 difference found between the filings for Ronald S. Beard (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 17, 2009 – Nov 23, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — JAVO BEVERAGE CO INC (latest filing Nov 23, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 23, 2010 (first sale Nov 17, 2009). It reports $4,997,530 sold of $7,600,000 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.

Sources

Form D/A · Nov 23, 2010 ↗ (Nov 23, 2010)
JAVO BEVERAGE CO INC — PartnerFacts page ↗ (Nov 23, 2010)

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

1 of 2 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $5,075,000; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Nov 23, 2010 D/A JAVO BEVERAGE CO INC File 021-43620	$0	$0	$0 The Issuer will use the proceeds from the sale of the securities, net of transaction expenses, for general corporate purposes.	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗
Jun 23, 2009 D CALLAWAY GOLF CO File 021-83746-5L	$5,075,000 (est.)	$0	$0	Lazard Capital Markets, LLC BrokerCheck CRD 134736 ↗ Raymond James & Associates, Inc. BrokerCheck CRD 705 ↗ Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated BrokerCheck CRD 793 ↗	EDGAR ↗

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).
