[D] FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. filed a Form D notifying a Regulation D private offering under Rule 506(b). The offering size is $29,970,000, of which $18,900,000 has been sold and $11,070,000 remains available. The company was formed in Delaware (2020) and lists its principal place of business in Washington, D.C. The filing reports sales commissions of $1,498,500 (5% of gross proceeds), a minimum outside investment of $0, one investor to date, and a first sale date of 2025-08-05. The offering is not tied to a business combination and the Form D was signed by Todd Aman on 2025-08-18.

Positive

• $18.9M already raised toward a $29.97M offering, demonstrating investor interest
• Offering uses Rule 506(b), which generally permits accredited investor placements with common exemptions
• $0 of the offering proceeds are allocated to payments to named officers or directors per the filing

Negative

• Only one investor reported so far, indicating concentration risk until more subscriptions close
• Sales commissions of $1,498,500 (5%) materially reduce net proceeds available for company use
• Approximately $11.07M remains unsold, meaning the issuer has not completed the raise

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: The company has already sold a majority of a nearly $30M Reg D raise; remaining commitment and investor concentration are the main considerations.

The filing shows a Rule 506(b) private placement with $18.9M sold of a $29.97M target, leaving $11.07M available. Sales commissions equal 5% of gross proceeds, which is material to net proceeds. Only one investor is reported so far, indicating concentration risk until additional subscriptions are received. The offering is not related to any business combination, and no proceeds are designated for directors or officers per the filing.

Securities Counsel

TL;DR: Form D compliance appears routine: Reg D exemption claimed, state notice filed, and signature attests to required certifications.

The issuer claims the 506(b) exemption and indicates state solicitation (including New Jersey). The filing certifies nonpayment to named executives and confirms undertaking consistent with Form D requirements. The document identifies broker-dealer involvement (Northland Securities) and discloses the commission structure. No red flags in the filing itself, but material legal considerations remain around investor accreditation verification and state notice compliance.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not necessarily reviewed the information in this filing and has not determined if it is accurate and complete.
The reader should not assume that the information is accurate and complete.
