The short version

TRACEY SPRINGSTEAD is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in May 2017: Progressive Brands, Inc. (Ojai, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2017; $3.96M reported sold to 32 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 2017. 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 Brad Barnhorn (1 shared filing) and Devin Whatley (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around TRACEY. 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) — 4 court cases matching the name, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 records came back, including 3 court cases 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 1 public filing for TRACEY SPRINGSTEAD and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Springstead Construction, Inc; 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.

By role: plaintiff in 4. Newest: "Springstead v. Forest River, Inc." (District Court, N.D. Indiana, Jul 17, 2025); "Springstead v. Forest River, Inc." (District Court, N.D. Indiana, Jul 17, 2025); "Springstead v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc." (District Court, S.D. Florida, Feb 17, 2023).

Note · Apr 28, 2017 – May 10, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Progressive Brands, Inc. (latest filing May 10, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 10, 2017 (first sale Apr 28, 2017). It reports $500,000 sold of $1,750,000 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
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
