What this filing shows

·

Every sentence is a value as filed on SEC Form D

Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership that filed a Form D with the SEC on October 3, 2017, describing itself as a private equity fund. The offering claims Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1) and covers pooled investment fund interests. Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. reported that the first sale had not yet occurred as of the Form D filed October 3, 2017, so no amount sold or investor count is on file. The total offering amount is $1,250,000,000. The offering relies on Rule 506(b), which permits sales to accredited investors and to no more than 35 non-accredited investors who meet a sophistication standard, and prohibits general solicitation. Because the fund also relies on Section 3(c)(1), it may have no more than 100 beneficial owners. The filing reports no non-accredited investors. The filing lists the minimum investment as $0, meaning no minimum was stated. The Form D names no recipient of sales compensation, which usually means the issuer or its affiliates are placing the securities directly. The issuer's address of record is One International Place, Suite 3520, Boston, MA 02110.

Grouped from Form D issuer names (generation, sleeve, jurisdiction and legal-form tokens removed); a name-only match, so abbreviated or renamed vehicles can be missed. Sold and investor figures are each vehicle's latest Form D; sleeves that report the same figure share one family-wide total and are counted once. Performance lines are what a public pension plan reports for its own interest in that fund, net, on the plan's cash flows and valuation date; they are not the general partner's figures.

Questions About Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P.

Each answer is built from the values on the SEC filing and the AltStreet ledger, not from the issuer's marketing.

What is Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P.?

Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership that filed a Form D with the SEC on October 3, 2017 as a private equity fund. The filing claims Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1) for an offering of pooled investment fund interests.

Is Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. legit?

AltStreet does not rate legitimacy; it reports the public record. Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. filed a Form D with the SEC on October 3, 2017 claiming Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1). A Form D is a notice of an exempt offering, not a review or approval of it. No sales had been reported as of that notice. AltStreet's enforcement record (SEC, FINRA and state actions) shows no action naming the issuer as of today. Before investing, confirm the filing on EDGAR, check the seller's registration on FINRA BrokerCheck, and read the offering documents, which a Form D does not include.

Is Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. registered with or approved by the SEC?

No. A Form D is a notice that an issuer is selling securities under an exemption from registration, and the SEC does not review, approve, or pass on the merits of the offering. The filing shows that Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. claimed Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1) and disclosed the items the form requires, such as the amount sold, the minimum investment, related persons, and anyone paid to sell the securities. It does not verify the issuer's claims or its business.

How much has Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. raised?

Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. reported that the first sale had not yet occurred as of the Form D filed October 3, 2017, so no amount sold or investor count is on file. The total offering amount is $1,250,000,000.

Who can invest in Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P.?

The offering relies on Rule 506(b), which permits sales to accredited investors and to no more than 35 non-accredited investors who meet a sophistication standard, and prohibits general solicitation. Because the fund also relies on Section 3(c)(1), it may have no more than 100 beneficial owners. The filing reports no non-accredited investors. The filing lists the minimum investment as $0, meaning no minimum was stated.

What is the minimum investment in Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P.?

The Form D lists the minimum investment as $0, which means the issuer did not state a minimum on the form. The offering documents, not the Form D, set the actual subscription terms.

Who is selling Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. and how are they paid?

The Form D names no recipient of sales compensation, which usually means the issuer or its affiliates are placing the securities directly.

Where is Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. located?

The issuer's address on its SEC filings is One International Place, Suite 3520, Boston, MA 02110. Its phone number of record is 617-464-4600. It is organized under the laws of Delaware.

How long is the Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P. offering open?

The issuer indicated that the offering is not intended to last more than one year. An issuer must amend its Form D annually while a continuing offering stays open, and no amendment is on record yet.

How large is Spectrum Equity VIII-C, L.P.?

The issuer declined to disclose its revenue range on the Form D, which the form permits.
