According to the filing, Carlson Capital currently holds around 2.89 million shares of Forestar Group, which represent 8.61% of the company’s outstanding common stock.

“Consistent with their investment intent, the Reporting Persons have been reviewing their investment in the Company and have engaged in discussions with the Company’s management concerning the business, operations, governance, management, strategy and future plans of the Company. Based on their review and these discussions, the Reporting Persons have determined that changes to the Company’s Board of Directors may be in the best interest of all stockholders. As such, the Reporting Persons intend to engage in further discussions with the Company’s management, as well as with the members of the Board of Directors and other stockholders, concerning possible changes to the composition of the Board of Directors. Among other things, the Reporting Persons may propose the nomination of one or more candidates for election to the Board of Directors in connection with the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders.”
