SCHEDULE 13D
Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 9 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, as amended by Amendments No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, and No. 8 thereto, 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 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 of the Initial Statement is hereby supplemented as follows:
(a) – (b) (i) Constellation Energy Partners Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CEPM”) is the sole record owner of 2,700,000 Common Units of the Issuer (representing 9.507% of the outstanding Common Units).
| (ii) | PostRock Energy Corporation (“PostRock”) does not directly own any Common Units. By virtue of being the sole member of CEPM, PostRock may be deemed to possess sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 2,700,000 Common Units of the Issuer (representing 9.507% of the outstanding Common Units) owned of record by CEPM. |
| (iii) | White Deer Energy L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“White Deer”), White Deer Energy TE L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“White Deer TE”), 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” do not directly own any Common Units. The White Deer Funds, in the aggregate, may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 68.2% of the shares of PostRock common stock outstanding on a pro forma basis. In addition, the White Deer Funds are entitled to designate up to three directors for nomination by PostRock’s board of directors for so long as the White Deer Funds own 25% or more of the shares of PostRock common stock. By virtue of these relationships, the White Deer Funds, who have, together with Edelman & Guill Energy L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“GP LP”) and Edelman & Guill Energy Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation (“GP Ltd.”) formed a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) with respect to the shares of PostRock common stock owned by such persons, may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the 2,700,000 Common Units of the Issuer (representing 9.507% of the outstanding Common Units) owned of record by CEPM. |
| (iv) | GP LP does not directly own any Common Units. By virtue of being the general partner of the White Deer Funds, GP LP may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the 2,700,000 Common Units of the Issuer (representing 9.507% of the outstanding Common Units) owned of record by CEPM. |
| (v) | GP Ltd. does not directly own any Common Units. By virtue of being the general partner of the GP LP, GP Ltd. may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the 2,700,000 Common Units of the Issuer (representing 9.507% of the outstanding Common Units) owned of record by CEPM. |
| (vi) | Neither Mr. Edelman nor Mr. Guill directly owns any Common Units. By virtue of being the two directors of GP Ltd., Mr. Edelman and Mr. Guill may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the 2,700,000 Common Units of the Issuer (representing 9.507% of the outstanding Common Units) owned of record by CEPM. |
| (c) | Since the filing of Amendment No. 8, various transactions have occurred, none of which individually constituted an increase or decrease in excess of 1% of the outstanding class of Common Units beneficially by the Reporting Persons, however, the aggregate change in beneficial ownership decreased by more than 1% through multiple sales in the open market, in each case as described below. |
