This Amendment No. 8 Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 8”) amends and restates Items 3, 4 and 5 and supplements Item 6 of the Schedule 13D filed by IRSA with the SEC (the “Schedule 13D”), as amended and restated from time to time. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 8 but not defined herein have the meaning given to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended and restated from time to time.


CUSIP No. 450047204     Page 12 of 17 Pages

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

As of August 21, 2008, the IRSA common shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons consisted of 270,060,615 shares, representing 46.67% of IRSA’s outstanding share capital.

The funds used to purchase the IRSA common shares were derived from (i) Cresud’s capital increase, (ii) working capital and (iii) short term borrowings.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Since July 23, 2008, the Reporting Persons increased their beneficial ownership of IRSA common shares by acquiring shares representing an additional 0.77% (net of sales of common shares since such date) of IRSA’s outstanding share capital. Such increase was the net result of purchases (net of sales in the open market) of the equivalent of 4,431,010 IRSA common shares acquired in the open market.

Except as described above, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to their knowledge, any person named in Schedule A previously filed, has any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

These transactions were effected from July 23, 2008 to August 21, 2008 (the “Transaction Period”).

 

Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) As of August 21, 2008, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 270,060,615 common shares of IRSA, representing 46.67% of its outstanding share capital.

  (i)

Elsztain is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of IFIS, IFISA, Cresud, Dolphin, CAM, CVC Uruguay and CVC Cayman, except for Agrology a company 97% of Cresud. Elsztain is the beneficial owner of 36.46% of IFIS, including: (a) 15.97% owned directly, (b) 1.62% owned indirectly through CVC Uruguay, (c) 9.44% owned indirectly through Dolphin and (d) 9.43% owned indirectly through CVC Cayman. Elsztain owns 85.0% of CAM which owns 100% of CVC Uruguay which in turn owns 100% of CVC Cayman. On March 11, 2008, Elsztain signed an Irrevocable Proxy with Baldwin Enterprises Inc. (“Baldwin”) in which he agreed to cause CVC Cayman, in its capacity as the investment manager of Dolphin, to relinquish voting rights only with respect to any common shares of IFIS, IFISA,


CUSIP No. 450047204     Page 13 of 17 Pages

 

 

IRSA and Cresud owned by Dolphin in favor of the independent directors of Dolphin. Thus, Elsztain by virtue of his position and voting power may be deemed to have voting power equal to 26.36% of IFIS’ voting rights.

 

  (ii) IFIS is the direct owner of 100% of the common shares of IFISA.

 

  (iii) IFISA directly owns 0.26% of IRSA’s outstanding stock and 33.42% of Cresud’s shares on a fully diluted basis.

 

  (iv) Cresud directly owns the equivalent of 241,508,787 common shares of IRSA, which amounts to 41.73% of IRSA’s outstanding stock.

 

  (v) Dolphin Fund directly owns 0.76% of IRSA’s outstanding stock.

 

  (vi) CVC Cayman serves as the Investment Manager of Dolphin Fund Plc and IFIS and does not own IRSA common shares.

 

  (vii) CAM directly owns 0.11% of IRSA’s outstanding stock.

 

  (viii) Agrology directly owns 3.78% of IRSA’s outstanding stock.
