SCHEDULE 13D
Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D (the Initial Statement) filed by the reporting persons named in Item 2 thereof (the Reporting Persons) on August 18, 2011, relating to the Class B limited liability company interests (the Common Units) of Constellation Energy Partners LLC (the Issuer).
Item 1. | Security and Issuer. |
This Statement is being filed with respect to the Common Units of the Issuer. The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 1801 Main Street, Suite 1300, Houston, Texas 77002.
Item 2. | Identity and Background |
Item 2 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended by revising Schedule 1 thereto to reflect the resignation of Jack T. Collins as an executive officer of Constellation Energy Partners Management, LLC (CEPM) and PostRock Energy Corporation (PostRock) and the appointment of David J. Klvac as the Chief Financial Officer of PostRock and CEPM.
In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning the general partners, executive officers, board of directors and each person controlling the Reporting Persons, as applicable (collectively, the Listed Persons), required by Item 2 of Schedule 13D is provided on Schedule 1 to the Initial Statement and is incorporated by reference herein. To the Reporting Persons knowledge, none of the persons listed on Schedule 1 as a director or executive officer of (i) CEPM, (ii) PostRock, (iii) White Deer Energy L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (White Deer), (iv) White Deer Energy TE L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (White Deer TE), (v) White Deer Energy FI L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (White Deer FI and, collectively with White Deer and White Deer TE, the White Deer Funds), (vi) Edelman & Guill Energy L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (GP LP) or (vii) Edelman & Guill Energy Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation (GP Ltd.), has been, during the last five years, (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.
Item 3. | Sources and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Item 3 of the Initial Statement is hereby supplemented to include the following:
On December 19, 2011, PostRock entered into a Purchase Agreement (the December Purchase Agreement) with Constellation Energy Commodities Group, Inc. (CECG) and Constellation Energy Partners Holdings, LLC (CEPH and, together with CECG, the Selling Parties), pursuant to which CEPM acquired (the December Acquisition) from CEPH 2,790,224 Common Units (the Subject Interests). Prior to the December Acquisition, CEPM held of record (i) 3,128,670 Common Units of the Issuer and (ii) all of the 485,065 outstanding Class A Units representing Class A limited liability company interests of the Issuer (Class A Units). Following the December Acquisition, CEPM holds 5,918,894 Common Units and 485,065 Class A Units, constituting an aggregate of approximately 26.4% of the voting interests of the Issuer.
In exchange for the Subject Interests, PostRock paid to CECG $5,998,981.60 in cash. The cash was funded with borrowings under PostRocks existing borrowing base credit facility.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Initial Statement is hereby supplemented to include the following:
The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Units in the December Acquisition reported herein solely for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make additional purchases of Common Units either in the open market or in private transactions depending on the Reporting Persons business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Common Units, general economic conditions, stock market conditions and other future developments.
