The short version

Thomas A. Shields is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 8 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between Jun 2011 and Sep 2019: Greater Boston Musculoskeletal Center Real Estate Company, LLC (Quincy, MA — commercial — 2011; $7.7M reported sold to 16 investors), Lake Real Estate, LLC (Quincy, MA — other real estate — 2019; $3.75M reported sold to 14 investors), Medford Lawrence Real Estate, LLC (Quincy, MA — commercial — 2018; $3.4M reported sold to 9 investors), ZS Genetics Inc (Wakefield, MA — biotechnology — 2014–2015; $1.72M reported sold to 22 investors) and Medford Surgery Center, LLC (Quincy, MA — other health care — 2018; $1.35M reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 8 years. Across those companies the filings report $17.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Frank E. Ferguson (3 shared filings), Jane Hager (3 shared filings), Shields ASC, LLC (3 shared filings, management entity), Thomas D. Abert (3 shared filings), William R Glover (3 shared filings) and 8 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Shields Asc (3 issuers, $8.5M reported sold, 2018–2019) and Greater Boston Musculoskeletal Center (2 issuers, $8.1M reported sold, 2011).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 8 public filings for Thomas A. Shields and found 10 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 75 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

10 differences found between the filings for Thomas A. Shields — 1 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 9, 2014

13% of the money raised went to insiders — ZS Genetics Inc

The Apr 9, 2014 Form D/A reports $1,724,963 sold and $222,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate). Issuer's note: "Total Executive Officers Salaries for the offering period.".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Worth asking · Jun 30, 2019 – Sep 13, 2019

Form D filed 75 days after the first sale — Lake Real Estate, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 30, 2019. The Form D was filed Sep 13, 2019 — 75 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 60 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 · Apr 27, 2015 – May 6, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ZS Genetics Inc (latest filing May 6, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 6, 2015 (first sale Apr 27, 2015). It reports $170,000 sold of $350,000 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
Note · May 3, 2010 – Apr 9, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ZS Genetics Inc (latest filing Apr 9, 2014)

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
Note · Jan 6, 2012 – Apr 9, 2014

Offering amount changed between filings — ZS Genetics Inc

The Jan 6, 2012 filing says $1,000,000 offered; the Apr 9, 2014 Form D/A says $2,300,000.

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 · Jun 15, 2011 – Aug 31, 2011

Offering amount changed between filings — Greater Boston Musculoskeletal Center Real Estate Company, LLC

The Jun 15, 2011 filing says $6,486,600 offered; the Aug 31, 2011 Form D/A says $7,695,000.

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.

Thomas A. Shields is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Thomas A. Shields" on 6 filings (from Jun 15, 2011), and "Thomas Shields" on 2 filings (from Dec 27, 2018).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Nov 27, 2015 – Aug 25, 2017

Same name, different state: "Thomas Shields" (CT or NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA. A separate record, "Thomas Shields" with address state CT or NY, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Sustainable Waste Power Systems, Inc. (Aug 25, 2017). Both records have filings in the same period (Nov 27, 2015 to Aug 25, 2017).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Jan 22, 2014

Same name, different state: "Thomas Shields" (FL) is a separate record

Address moved from North Billerica, MA to Beverly Farms, MA — ZS Genetics Inc

The people listed on the Jan 6, 2012 filing give North Billerica, MA; on the Apr 9, 2014 filing they give Beverly Farms, MA.

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.

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).

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 5 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Thomas A. Shields by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 5 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
