The short version

Thomas Ray is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2011 and May 2011: Ovation Holdings, Inc. (Naples, FL — commercial banking — 2011; $27.1M reported sold to 76 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 2011. 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 Jon C. Bruss (2 shared filings), Malachi Mixon, III (2 shared filings, management entity), Malachi Mixon, IV (2 shared filings, management entity), Nicholas Panicaro (2 shared filings), Patrick V. Auletta (2 shared filings) and 7 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.

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) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 Thomas Ray and found 6 differences: Bankruptcy case: Outcalt, III v. The Huntington National Bank; Bankruptcy case: First Usa Bank v. Auletta; 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.

Bankruptcy case: Outcalt, III v. The Huntington National Bank — filed Jan 10, 2012

United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. Ohio docket "Outcalt, III v. The Huntington National Bank" filed Jan 10, 2012, closed Mar 1, 2012. Jon H. Outcalt (listed on the same filings) is listed as Plaintiff ("Outcalt, III"). Our match estimate: 70%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Bankruptcy case: First Usa Bank v. Auletta — filed Aug 4, 1997

United States Bankruptcy Court, M.D. Florida docket "First Usa Bank v. Auletta" filed Aug 4, 1997, closed Feb 10, 1998. Patrick V. Auletta (listed on the same filings) is listed as Defendant ("Auletta"). Our match estimate: 68%.

Note · Jan 13, 2011 – May 10, 2011

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Ovation Holdings, Inc.

"No Revenues" (Jan 13, 2011); then "$1 - $1,000,000" (May 10, 2011).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Note · Mar 19, 2019 – Nov 26, 2024

Same name, different state: "Thomas Ray" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is FL. A separate record, "Thomas Ray" with address state CA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Mindstate Design Labs, Inc. (Nov 26, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 13, 2011 to May 10, 2011; the other runs Mar 19, 2019 to Nov 26, 2024.

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.

The people listed on the Jan 13, 2011 filing give Gates Mills, OH; on the May 10, 2011 filing they give Hunting Valley, OH.

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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
