SCHEDULE 13D
 
CUSIP No: 346233109 
Page 8 of 14 Pages
 
Item 1. Security and Issuer
 
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) relates to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Shares”), of Forestar Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). 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. 4 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

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.  The Reporting Persons have not made any purchases of Common Shares since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D, on Amendment No. 3 filed January 20, 2016.
 

SCHEDULE 13D
 
CUSIP No: 346233109 
Page 9 of 14 Pages
 
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons initially acquired the Common Shares to which this Amendment No. 4 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.

Consistent with their investment intent, the Reporting Persons engaged in conversations with the Company’s CEO regarding, among other things, changes to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).  Towards that end, on February 5, 2016, Carlson Capital entered into a Director Nomination Agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to appoint Mr. Richard D. Squires of Lennox Capital Partners to the Board as promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of the Director Nomination Agreement.  In connection therewith, Mr. Charles W. Matthews resigned from his current position as a director of the Company, effective immediately upon the execution of the Director Nomination Agreement.  The Company also agreed not to increase the size of the Board during the Standstill Period (defined herein).

The Company further agreed to exercise its reasonable best efforts, including the solicitation of proxies, to cause the election of Mr. Squires at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (“2016 Annual Meeting”), it being understood that such efforts shall not be less than the efforts used by the Company to obtain the election of any other director nominee nominated to serve as director on the Board of the 2016 Annual Meeting.  Subject to the Company’s governance policies and the applicable exchange rules and regulations, Mr. Squires will be offered the opportunity to become a member of the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee.

Also pursuant to the Director Nomination Agreement, absent a material breach by the Company, Carlson Capital and its Affiliates (as defined in the Director Nomination Agreement) agreed to abstain from engaging in certain actions listed in Section 3 of the Director Nomination Agreement from the date of the Director Nomination Agreement until two business days before the nomination deadline for the 2017 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Standstill Period”).

In addition, pursuant to the Director Nomination Agreement, Carlson Capital and its Affiliates agreed, during the Standstill Period, to vote all Common Shares over which they have voting authority (i) for all existing directors nominated by the Board for election at a stockholders meeting and (ii) in accordance with any recommendation of the Board on any other proposal or other business set forth in Schedule 1 of the Director Nomination Agreement, provided, however, that nothing in the Director Nomination Agreement shall limit or restrict Carlson Capital’s and its Affiliates ability and right to vote the Common Shares with respect to which they have any voting authority on proposals that require shareholder approval relating to mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations or extraordinary transactions, or the issuance of the Company’s equity securities in connection with any such transaction.

The summary contained herein of the Director Nomination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is included as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.

On February 8, 2016, the Company issued a press release to announce the Director Nomination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated by reference herein.
 

SCHEDULE 13D
 
CUSIP No: 346233109
Page 10 of 14 Pages
 
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.  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, and subject to the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement, 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.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b)  The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 2,894,781 Common Shares. Based upon a total of 33,616,255 Common Shares outstanding as of November 2, 2015, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2015, the Reporting Persons’ Common Shares represent approximately 8.61% of the outstanding Common Shares.

Carlson Capital, Asgard II, Asgard I and Mr. Carlson have the power to vote and direct the disposition of (i) the 2,735,573 Common Shares reported herein as owned by DOF, and (ii) the 159,208 Common Shares reported herein as owned by OFF.

 (c) There have been no transactions in the Common Shares since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D, on Amendment No. 3 filed January 20, 2016.

 (d) Except as set forth herein, no person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Common Shares.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated by reference herein.  In addition, the Reporting Persons are parties to an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendments thereto. A copy of such agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Except as set forth herein, there are no contracts, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons or between the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to the Common Shares.
