Explanatory Note: The Reporting Persons are filing this amendment No. 1 to their Schedule 13D to disclose an amendment to the Warrant, as defined below, filed as an exhibit hereto. This amendment No. 1 reflects no changes in the previously reported holdings of the Reporting Persons.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:
     As previously disclosed, on December 29, 2000, Lafarge North America Inc. (“Lafarge”) issued to Kilmer Van Nostrand Co. Limited (“Kilmer”), for a purchase price of Cdn$21,647,000, a warrant to purchase 4,400,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Lafarge (the “Common Stock”) for an exercise price of US$29 per share over a period from December 29, 2005 to December 29, 2015 (the “Warrant”). Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used herein have the meaning assigned to them in the Warrant.
     Also as previously disclosed, on February 21, 2006, Lafarge S.A., the parent company of Lafarge, commenced a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for the shares of Common Stock it does not already own through its wholly-owned subsidiary Efalar Inc.
     On March 16, 2006, Kilmer and Lafarge executed an agreement to amend the Warrant (the “Amendment”) to permit Kilmer to effect a conditional exercise of the Warrant in connection with the Tender Offer. The Amendment provides that, in the event of a tender offer for the Common Stock or other transaction requiring the tender or surrender of the Common Stock in order to participate (an “Offer”), Kilmer may exercise the Warrant without regard to the 30 day notice period otherwise applicable to the Notice of Exercise for the Warrant at any time prior to the acceptance of shares of Common Stock for payment pursuant to the Offer (the “Acceptance”). However, if (i) an Offer expires without an Acceptance of the shares of Common Stock tendered in connection with the Notice of Exercise, or (ii) Kilmer revokes the Notice of Exercise at least two New York Stock Exchange trading days before Acceptance, the Notice of Exercise will be null and void and the Warrant will remain outstanding and unexercised by Kilmer.
     The above summary does not purport to be a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits
Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following:
     
Exhibit 3.1.
  Agreement dated March 16, 2006, between Lafarge North America Inc. and Kilmer Van Nostrand Co., Limited
