This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on July 26, 2004 by Istithmar PJSC (“Istithmar”), as amended on August 10, 2004, with respect to the ordinary shares, $0.001 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Kerzner International Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas (the “Issuer”) (such statement on Schedule 13D, the “Statement”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Statement.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

The second sentence of Item 2 of the Statement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

The principal business address of Istithmar is Emirates Towers, Level 4, Sheikh Zayed Road, PO Box 17000, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Statement is amended to add the following paragraphs:

After the close of business on March 17, 2006, K-Two Holdco Limited, a newly formed International Business Company organized under the laws of the Bahamas and controlled by Istithmar, Solomon Kerzner, Howard B. Kerzner and investment funds affiliated with Whitehall Street Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2005 (“Whitehall”), Colony Capital Acquisitions, LLC (“Colony”), Providence Equity Partners, Inc. (“Providence”) and The Related Companies, L.P. (“Related”), submitted to the Issuer’s board of directors, a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (the “Proposal”). On March 20, 2006, a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) consisting of Peter Buckley, Howard Marks, Eric Siegel and Heinrich von Rantzau, which was formed to, among other things, consider the terms and conditions of the Proposal, unanimously recommended that the Issuer’s full board of directors approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 20, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Issuer, K-Two Holdco Limited (“Parent”), and K-2 Subco Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and on March 20, 2006, the full board of directors unanimously approved the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation. At the effective time of the Merger, each then outstanding Ordinary Share (other than any Ordinary Share owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Issuer or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer and any Ordinary Shares held by holders who have properly exercised dissenters’ rights) will be converted into the right to receive $76.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). A copy of the Merger Agreement is included as Exhibit 8 to this Statement and is incorporated by reference herein.

On March 20, 2006, the Issuer and Parent issued a joint press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which press release is included as Exhibit 9 to this Statement and is incorporated by reference herein.

As described under Item 6 below, Istithmar has agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to transfer, contribute and deliver to Parent 4,500,000 Ordinary Shares, which shares will be cancelled and retired in the Merger and will not be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, and $83,000,000 in cash, in exchange for an equity interest in Parent. In addition, World Leisure Group Limited, Whitehall, Colony, Providence and Related each have committed to contribute Ordinary Shares or cash to Parent in exchange for an equity interest in

Parent. At the Issuer’s request, Istithmar also has agreed with the Issuer to vote all of the Ordinary Shares it beneficially owns in favor of the Merger.

The information set forth in response to this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the Commitment Letters (as defined in Item 6 below) and the Press Release.

Other than as described above, Istithmar does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or that would result in any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D. Subject to the terms of the Governance Agreement, Istithmar may in the future acquire additional Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Issuer, in the open market, in privately-negotiated purchases or otherwise, and may also, depending on then current circumstances, dispose of all or a portion of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it in one or more transactions. Additionally, Istithmar reserves the right from time to time to formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D, to the extent deemed advisable by Istithmar and subject to the terms of the Governance Agreement.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Statement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(a) Istithmar is the beneficial owner of 4,500,000 Ordinary Shares, which, based upon the Issuer's representations in the Merger Agreement, represent approximately 12.3% of the currently outstanding Ordinary Shares. In addition, as a result of the matters described in Item 4 above, Istithmar may be deemed to beneficially own Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Solomon Kerzner, Howard B. Kerzner and Whitehall. Based on information provided by such persons, as of March 20, 2006, Solomon Kerzner beneficially owned 3,912,019 Ordinary Shares, Howard B. Kerzner beneficially owned 500,000 Ordinary Shares and Whitehall may be deemed to beneficially own no more than 8,371 Ordinary Shares. The Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Solomon Kerzner, Howard B. Kerzner, Whitehall and Istithmar represent 24.3% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding. Istithmar disclaims beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares owned by Solomon Kerzner, Howard B. Kerzner and Whitehall.

(b) Istithmar has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and dispose or direct the disposal of 4,500,000 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

(c) Neither Istithmar nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of the government of Dubai or the persons identified in Schedule A to this Statement has effected any transactions in the Ordinary Shares in the past sixty days.

(d) – (e) Not applicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to  

 

Securities of the Issuer.

 

 

Item 6 of the Statement is amended to add the following paragraphs:

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Istithmar delivered two letters (the “Commitment Letters”) to Parent pursuant to which Istithmar has agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to contribute or cause to be contributed to Parent, immediately prior to the Merger, 4,500,000 Ordinary Shares and cash in the aggregate amount of $83,000,000, in exchange for an equity interest in Parent. Istithmar intends to finance the cash portion of its contribution through internally available funds. Copies of the Commitment Letters are included as Exhibits 10 and 11 to this Statement and incorporated by reference herein.

Except for the Stock Purchase Agreements, the Governance Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the 2001 Agreement, the Letter Agreement and the Commitment Letters, neither Istithmar, nor, to the best of Istithmar’s knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule A to the Statement has any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any other person regarding any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.
