TPG-Axon Capital Files 13D & 13G on SandRidge Energy Stake

Dinakar Singh's hedge fund firm TPG-Axon Capital has filed a 13D and then 13G with the SEC regarding their stake in SandRidge Energy (SD).

Per the 13G filing, the firm owns about 32 million shares, or 6.5% of the company: 4.1% via common stock and 2.4% economic on basket swap.  The firm executed a swap to realize certain gains/losses for tax planning.

This is a reduction in their position size, as they previously disclosed ownership of over 39 million shares at the end of the third quarter (via their last 13F filing with the SEC).

Per Google Finance, SandRidge Energy is "an independent oil and natural gas company. The Company is engaged in development and production activities in the Mid-Continent, Gulf of Mexico and Permian Basin in west Texas. Its primary area of focus is the Mississippian formation, a shallow hydrocarbon system in the Mid-Continent area of northern Oklahoma and Kansas. The Company also operates businesses that are complementary to its primary development and production activities, including gas gathering and processing facilities, an oil and natural gas marketing business and an oil field services business, including its wholly owned drilling rig business, Lariat Services, Inc. (Lariat)."
