Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The total amount of consideration payable in connection with the Offer and the Merger was approximately $1,200.9 million. The information set forth in “Section 10. Source and Amount of Funds” in the Offer to Purchase (defined below) is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 4.	Purpose of the Transaction

On July 10, 2011, Parent and Purchaser entered into the Merger Agreement with the Company for the purposes of acquiring all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding Shares at a purchase price of $47.20 per Share, without interest and less any required withholding of taxes (the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 15, 2011 (as amended, the “Offer to Purchase”), incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.2 hereto and Exhibit (a)(1)(A) of the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Parent and Purchaser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 15, 2011 (as amended, the “Schedule TO”), and the related Form of Letter of Transmittal, incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.3 hereto and Exhibit (a)(1)(B) of the Schedule TO.

The information set forth in the sections of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Summary Term Sheet,” “Introduction,” “Section 6. Price Range of Shares; Dividends,” “Section 7. Possible Effects of the Offer on the Market for the Shares; Stock Exchange Listing(s); Registration under the Exchange Act; Margin Regulations,” “Section 11. Background of the Offer,” “Section 12. Purpose of the Offer; Plans for the Company; Shareholder Approval; Appraisal Rights,” “Section 13. The Transaction Documents” and “Section 14. Dividends and Distributions” is incorporated herein by reference.




SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 03937R102	Page 6 of 15

The initial offering period of the Offer (as previously extended, the “Initial Offering Period”) expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Friday, October 14, 2011. Upon expiration of the Initial Offering Period, Purchaser accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to expiration of the Initial Offering Period. According to BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, the depositary for the Offer, as of the expiration of the Initial Offering Period, a total of approximately 23,372,120 Shares (including 2,703,910 Shares subject to guaranteed delivery procedures) were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Initial Offering Period, representing approximately 91.9% of the Shares then outstanding. In addition, Purchaser provided a subsequent offering period (the “Subsequent Offering Period”) following the expiration of the Initial Offering Period. The Subsequent Offering Period expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on October 19, 2011. An aggregate of approximately 1,023,756 additional Shares were validly tendered prior to the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, all of which Shares have been accepted for payment by Purchaser. On October 20, 2011, following the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser paid for all shares validly tendered in the Offer. Following the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser held a total of approximately 23,348,410 Shares (which excludes 1,047,465 Shares that remained subject to guaranteed delivery procedures upon the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period), representing approximately 91.8% of the Shares outstanding as of October 20, 2011.

In addition, following the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, on October 20, 2011, because Purchaser then owned more than 90% of the outstanding Shares, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and as permitted by Virginia law, Parent and Purchaser effected a “short form” merger of Purchaser with and into the Company, as further described below, without the need for a meeting or vote of the Company’s shareholders.

Effective as of October 20, 2011, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Purchaser merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of LG Parent, which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Common Stock not tendered in the Offer that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than any shares of Common Stock owned by any subsidiary of the Company or by Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, payable to the holder thereof upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such Share.




SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 03937R102	Page 7 of 15

The following changes to the Company’s board of directors were effected in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Michael E. Campbell, David Lilley, William H. Powell, Janice J. Teal and Douglas J. Wetmore tendered their resignations as directors of the Company effective as of Purchaser’s acceptance for payment of all Shares tendered in the Initial Offering Period. On October 17, 2011, Joseph Colleluori, Marc Funk, Scott Waldman, Anthony Branciforte and Bradley Luria were appointed unanimously by the remaining directors as directors of the Company. Thereafter, Richard E. Cavanagh and Daniel S. Sanders tendered their resignations as directors of the Company effective as of the effective time of the Merger.

On October 20, 2011 as of the effective time of the Merger, the following officers of the Company were removed, as provided in the Merger Agreement, from their respective offices: Michael E. Campbell, Joseph H. Shaulson, Luis Fernandez-Moreno, Steven C. Giuliano and Sarah A. O’Connor. On that same date, Jeanne Thoma, Alexander Hoy, Scott Waldman, Bradley Luria and Anthony Branciforte, Jr. were elected as officers of the Company.

On October 20, 2011, in connection with the Merger, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of its intent to remove the Common Stock from listing on the NYSE and requested that the NYSE file a delisting application with the SEC to delist and deregister its common stock. On October 21, 2011, the NYSE filed with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Common Stock. As a result, the Common Stock will no longer be listed on the NYSE. The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting the deregistration of the Common Stock and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Shortly after the effective time of the Merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the articles of incorporation of the Company were amended and restated in their entirety to read identically to the articles of incorporation of Purchaser as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, and the bylaws of the Company were amended and restated in their entirety to read identically to the bylaws of Purchaser as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, except that in each case the name of the surviving corporation of the Merger set forth therein was changed to “Arch Chemicals, Inc.”

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Merger Agreement is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and was included as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 11, 2011.




SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 03937R102	Page 8 of 15

As of the date of this Statement, and except as otherwise provided in the Offer to Purchase, the business and operations of the Company have been continued substantially as they were being conducted prior to the Merger. Parent intends to evaluate the business and operations of the Company and to review such information as part of a comprehensive review of the Company’s business, operations, capitalization and management with a view to optimizing development of the Company’s potential in conjunction with Parent’s existing businesses and may subsequently make changes thereto.

Except as set forth in this Statement (including any information incorporated by reference) and in connection with the transaction described above, neither of the Reporting Persons has any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.


Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) — (b) As a result of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the Offer, following the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser beneficially owned 23,348,410 Shares (which excludes 1,047,465 Shares that remained subject to guaranteed delivery procedures upon the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period), representing approximately 91.8% of the Shares outstanding on October 20, 2011.

Following the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, on October 20, 2011, Purchaser merged with and into the Company and each of the 1,000 shares of common stock, no par value, of Purchaser that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into one share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Arch Chemicals, Inc., as the surviving corporation of the Merger, and each of the remaining outstanding Shares of the Company was converted into the right to receive the same $47.20 in cash per Share, without interest, that was paid in the Offer. As a result of the merger, the Company became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of LG Parent, which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Therefore, as a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,000 shares of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Arch Chemicals, Inc., as the surviving corporation of the Merger, representing 100.00% of the issued and outstanding shares of Arch Chemicals, Inc. Parent and LG Parent each have sole voting and dispositive power of all the Shares by virtue of the fact that LG Parent, the record holder of the Shares, is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.




SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 03937R102	Page 9 of 15

(c) The information set forth in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference. Except as described in this Statement, no transactions in Shares were effected by Parent, LG Parent or Purchaser or, to the knowledge of Parent, LG Parent or Purchaser, by any person identified on Schedule A to this Statement, during the 60 days prior to the date hereof.

(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of, securities covered by this Statement.

(e) Not applicable.


Item 6.	Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Other than as described in Items 3, 4 and 5 and the agreements incorporated herein by reference and set forth as exhibits hereto, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
