SCHEDULE 13D
Page 8 of  13 Pages
 
 
 
 Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
   
  This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) relates to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Shares”), of Forestar Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the Issuer’s principal executive office is 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building Two, Suite 500, Austin, Texas 78746.
   
Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
   
 
(a) This Amendment No. 2 is filed by: (i) Double Black Diamond Offshore Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“DOF”); (ii) Black Diamond Offshore Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company “OFF” and together with DOF, the “Funds”); (iii) Carlson Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Carlson Capital”); (iv) Asgard Investment Corp. II, a Delaware corporation and the general partner of Carlson Capital (“Asgard II”); (v) Asgard Investment Corp., a Delaware corporation and the sole stockholder of Asgard II (“Asgard I”); and (vi) Clint D. Carlson, a citizen of the United States of America (“Mr. Carlson” and together with the Funds, Carlson Capital, Asgard II and Asgard I, the “Reporting Persons”). The name, citizenship, present principal occupation or employment and business address of each director and executive officer of Asgard I and Asgard II are set forth in Appendix A attached hereto.
   
 
(b) The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1800, Dallas, TX 75201.
   
 
(c) The principal business of the Funds is to invest in securities. The principal business of Carlson Capital is to serve as the investment manager to the Funds and to certain managed accounts (the “Accounts”). The principal business of Asgard II is serving as the general partner of Carlson Capital. The principal business of Asgard I is serving as the sole stockholder of Asgard II. The principal occupation of Mr. Carlson is serving as President of Asgard II, Asgard I and Carlson Capital.
   
 
(d) None of the Reporting Persons or persons listed on Appendix A has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
   
 
(e) None of the Reporting Persons or persons listed on Appendix A has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
   
 
(f) Mr. Carlson is a citizen of the United States.
   
Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
   
 
Reporting Persons used approximately $3,780,122 (including brokerage commissions) in the aggregate to purchase the Common Shares reported in this Amendment No. 2.
   
 
The source of the funds used to acquire the Common Shares reported herein is the working capital of the Funds and the Accounts and margin borrowings described in the following sentence. Such Common Shares are held by the Reporting Persons in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein.
   
Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
   
  The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Shares to which this Amendment No. 2 relates for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business, and not with the purpose nor with the effect of changing or influencing the control or management of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Shares because they believed that the Common Shares reported herein, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity.
   
 
Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)–(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons have not entered into any agreement with any third party to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Common Shares reported herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time engage in discussions with management, the Board of Directors, other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties, including representatives of any of the foregoing, concerning matters with respect to the Reporting Persons' investment in the Common Shares, including, without limitation, the business, operations, governance, management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board of Directors, price levels of the Common Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional Common Shares or selling some or all of their Common Shares, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Common Shares and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
