INTRODUCTION
This statement ("Amendment No. 12") amends the Schedule 13D filed
on August 4, 2000 by Shamrock Holdings of California, Inc., a California
corporation ("SHOC"), as amended from time to time (the "Amended Schedule
13D") by SHOC and Trefoil International III, SPRL, a Belgian corporation
("Trefoil SPRL"). The securities to which this statement relates are
Ordinary Shares of Ansell Limited, an Australian corporation. Capitalized
terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 12 shall have the meanings
set forth in the Amended Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided
herein, this Amendment No. 12 does not modify any of the information
previously reported on the Amended Schedule 13D.
1. ITEM 4 OF THE AMENDED SCHEDULE 13D IS HEREBY AMENDED TO ADD THE
FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
On August 21, 2003, Trefoil SPRL disposed of 5,500,000 Ordinary
Shares in the open market on the Australian Stock Exchange at a per share
price of $AUD 6.70 (excluding brokerage fees and stamp duties).
SHOC and Trefoil SPRL may determine from time to time in the
future, based on market and general economic conditions, the business
affairs and financial condition of the Company, the availability of
securities at favorable prices and alternative investment opportunities
available to SHOC and Trefoil SPRL, and other factors that SHOC and Trefoil
SPRL may deem relevant, to acquire additional securities of the Company in
the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise or to
sell some or all of the securities it now holds or hereafter acquires.
2. ITEM 5 OF THE AMENDED SCHEDULE 13D IS HEREBY AMENDED TO ADD THE
FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
ITEM 5. INTERESTS IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
--------------------------------------
Trefoil SPRL and SHOC beneficially own the 18,928,840 Ordinary
Shares held of record by Trefoil SPRL, which represent approximately 10.2%
of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.(3) Because SHOC controls
Trefoil International Investors III, LP, which controls Trefoil SPRL, SHOC
and Trefoil SPRL share dispositive power over such Ordinary Shares. On
August 21, 2003, Trefoil SPRL disposed of 5,500,000 Ordinary Shares at a
per share price of $AUD 6.70 (excluding brokerage fees and stamp duties).
This transaction was effected in the open market on the Australian Stock
Exchange.
As disclosed in the Amended Schedule 13(d), Mr. Stanley P. Gold
is a director of the Company. Mr. Gold is also a director and the President
of SHOC and a director of Trefoil SPRL. Mr. Gold has acquired 9,065 Ordinary
Shares on such dates, in such amounts and at such per share prices
(excluding brokerage fees and stamp duties) as indicated on the Schedule of
Transactions attached hereto as Exhibit 29 and incorporated herein by
reference. All of these transactions were effected pursuant to the Ansell
Limited Non-Executive Directors Share Plan, the terms of which are
disclosed in the Company's most recent Form 20-F, filed on December 30,
2002. Mr. Gold disclaims all beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares
beneficially owned by SHOC and Trefoil SPRL, and SHOC and Trefoil SPRL
disclaim all beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares owned by Mr. Gold.
____________________
(3) This percentage is based on information from the Company which
indicates that the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company
is 185,814,000. In April 2002, the Company reduced the number of
ordinary shares outstanding by means of a 1 for 5 share consolidation.
The numbers herein give effect to such consolidation.
