The short version

Ryan A. Smiley is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2011 and Apr 2013: RLH INVESTORS III, L.P. (Los Angeles, CA — pooled investment fund — 2011–2013; $380.3M reported sold to 47 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 J. Christopher Lewis (2 shared filings), Kenneth D. Hubbs (2 shared filings), Kevin Cantrell (2 shared filings), Michel Glouchevitch (2 shared filings), Murray E. Rudin (2 shared filings) and 3 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Ryan. Each name links to their own page.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Rlh (4 issuers, $409.9M reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Rlh has 4 companies on file and $409.9M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 2 public filings for Ryan A. Smiley and found 2 differences: Offering amount changed between filings; Same name, different state: "Ryan Smiley" (VA) is a separate record.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Ryan A. Smiley (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 12, 2011 – Apr 5, 2013

Offering amount changed between filings — RLH INVESTORS III, L.P.

The Aug 12, 2011 filing says $250,000,000 offered; the Apr 5, 2013 Form D/A says $380,250,000.

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 · Feb 12, 2021

Same name, different state: "Ryan Smiley" (VA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Ryan Smiley" with address state VA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by CrossCountry Parent, LLC (Feb 12, 2021). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 12, 2011 to Apr 5, 2013; the other has one filing dated Feb 12, 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.

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 1 offering reports sales commissions totalling $3,957,125; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
