Despite being typed as a business combination, this is an amended Schedule 13G (Amendment No. 1, as of 31 December 2010) filed by the Carlyle/Riverstone energy funds, not a buyout or merger. It reports their combined holdings in Cobalt, led by C/R Energy GP III, LLC at 44,917,790 shares (12.61%) and C/R Energy GP II, LLC at 29,945,194 shares (8.41%). The filing says the two groups' holdings are reported through separate fund entities, and it does not describe any transaction. It adds to the picture of large founding private-equity holders alongside KERN and Goldman Sachs.
