Carlyle Capital Raise?


The Carlyle Group filed with the SEC for a possible capital raise.  It states:

We and any selling security holders identified in this prospectus or in supplements to this prospectus may from time to time offer and sell, in one or more series or classes, separately or together, the following securities:

• common stock;

 • preferred stock; 

• depositary shares;

• debt securities; 

• warrants; 

• subscription rights; 

• purchase contracts; and 

• units. 

It's unclear at this time if funds will go to Carlyle or to selling security holders:

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds we receive from the offering of securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes. Further details relating to the use of net proceeds we receive from the offering of securities under this prospectus will be set forth in any prospectus supplement, where applicable. 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of securities to which this prospectus relates that are offered by any selling security holders. 

Interesting that mismarked asset holders, like banks and private equity underwriters (PEU), are seeking additional capital.
