This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements that certain Schedule 13D filed on June 19, 2008 by Tracinda Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Tracinda”), and Kirk Kerkorian, an individual and the sole shareholder of Tracinda, and amended on July 8, 2008 and September 2, 2008 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Schedule 13D remains unmodified.
| Item | 2. Identity and Background |
Item 2 is hereby amended by deleting the second sentence of the second paragraph thereof and replacing it with the following:
On September 3, 2008, without admitting or denying the findings of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), Tracinda consented to the entry of an administrative order by the SEC pursuant to Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In the order, entitled In the Matter of Tracinda Corporation (the “Order”), the SEC found that Tracinda’s failure to disclose a plan to sell 28 million shares of General Motors Corporation stock in a November 22, 2006 Schedule 13D amendment and its statement that it might acquire additional shares constituted violations of Section 13(d)(2) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20 and 13d-2(a) under the Exchange Act. No penalty was imposed pursuant to the Order.
During the last five years, Tracinda (i) has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors), and (ii) other than as disclosed above, has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of that proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
