Part of the purchase price of the Shares and call options was obtained through margin borrowing.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares in the belief that the Shares were undervalued at current levels.  The Reporting Persons have had conversations with management of the Issuer and intend to have further discussions with management.  The Reporting Persons strongly believe that the Issuer should return capital to shareholders and should declare a dividend of at least $4.00 per Share.  The Reporting Persons note that under Swiss law and the Issuer’s Articles of Association, a shareholder has the right to propose a dividend at a company’s annual meeting, and if a majority of shareholders support the proposal, the dividend is declared, whether or not the company’s board supports such proposal. If the Issuer’s Board does not declare a dividend of at least $4 per Share, the Reporting Persons currently intend to propose a dividend of $4 per Share at the 2013 Annual Meeting and have every hope and belief that a majority of shareholders will support it. In addition to conversations relating to capital allocation and shareholder value, the Reporting Persons plan to have additional discussions with management to discuss the Issuer’s business and strategies, as well as the possible addition of shareholder selected nominees to the Board of Directors of the Issuer. 

The  Reporting  Persons may, from time to time and at any time: (i) acquire additional  Shares  and/or  other  equity,  debt,  notes,  instruments  or other securities  (collectively,  "Securities")  of  the  Issuer (or its affiliates) in the open market or otherwise;  (ii) dispose of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise;  or  (iii) engage in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to  the  Securities.

In view of the Swiss Takeover Rules, the Reporting Persons note that nothing in this Schedule 13D or otherwise should be viewed as an indication that the Reporting Persons intend to launch, or are otherwise considering, a public takeover of the Issuer.

Item 5.  Iterest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate,  20,154,035   Shares (including Shares underlying call options), representing approximately 5.61% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the 359,425,927 Shares stated to be outstanding as of October 23, 2012 by the Issuer in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2012).

Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.  Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to each of Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which each of Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III directly beneficially owns.

Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.

The Shares acquired by the Reporting Persons include Shares underlying call options. The agreements governing these call options do not give the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over the Shares to which these agreements relate.  See Item 6.

(c) The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to Shares effected during the past sixty (60) days by any of the Reporting Persons, inclusive of any transactions effected through 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 25, 2013 .  Except as otherwise noted below, all such transactions were purchases of Shares effected in the open market, and the table includes commissions paid in per share prices.
