This Statement amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 1999 by Total, a French societe
anonyme, as amended from time to time.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding thereto the following
text:
"On March 22, 2000, Total Fina changed its name to Total Fina Elf S.A.
("TotalFinaElf") and transferred of its headquarters to Tour Coupole, 2, place
de la Coupole, La Defense 6, 92400 Courbevoie, France.
Schedule I hereto, which is incorporated herein by this reference, sets
forth the name, the business address, the present principal occupation or
employment, and the citizenship of the directors and executive officers of
TotalFinaElf."
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding thereto the following
text:
"TotalFinaElf has today commenced an exchange offer in Belgium and the
United States to acquire the remaining 1.24% of PetroFina's share capital not
owned by TotalFinaElf. The proposed exchange ratio is 9 TotalFinaElf shares and
VVPR strips (with dividend rights from January 1, 2000) for 2 shares of
PetroFina, and 9 American depositary shares of TotalFinaElf, each representing
one-half of one share of TotalFinaElf, for each 10 American depositary shares of
PetroFina, each representing one-tenth of one share of PetroFina. The offer will
expire on November 7, 2000, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, unless extended.
The exchange offer is being made into the United States using the Belgian
offer documents in reliance on Rule 802 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The Belgian offer documents will be submitted to the Securities and
Exchange Commission under Form CB on or about October 10, 2000. The Belgian
offer documents describe the progressive integration of PetroFina activities
within the TotalFinaElf group and the management reorganization that are being
conducted since the beginning of 1999.
The completion of this exchange offer and the substantial commingling of
the assets and operations of the two entities completed since the acquisition of
PetroFina in 1999 will result in the "combination" of TotalFinaElf and PetroFina
under the PetroFina warrant agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the PetroFina
warrant agreement, on completion of the combination of PetroFina and
TotalFinaElf, the remaining PetroFina warrants will be automatically exchanged
for newly issued TotalFinaElf warrants, at an exchange ratio of 100 PetroFina
warrants for 81 TotalFinaElf warrants. These TotalFinaElf warrants will be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will be of the same class, and have
identical terms and conditions, as the currently outstanding TotalFinaElf
warrants issued in connection with the 1999 exchange offer."
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting subitems (a) and (b)
hereto and replacing them by the following text and by adding to subitems (c)
thereto the following text:
"(a) TotalFinaElf directly and beneficially owns 23,277,680 PetroFina
shares, which represented 98.76% of the issued and outstanding PetroFina
share capital as of August 30, 2000.
(b) TotalFinaElf has the power to vote and dispose of such 23,277,680
PetroFina shares, subject to the restriction described in Item 6 below.
(c) The exchange offer made in Belgium for PetroFina shares was
reopened from June 30 to July 28, 2000 with respect to PetroFina shares
received upon exercise of outstanding employees warrants. The offer made to
such employees were made at the exchange ratio of 9 TotalFinaElf shares for
2 PetroFina shares. A total of 28,836 PetroFina shares were tendered during
the reopening of this exchange offer."
