This Amendment No. 12 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on December 20, 1989, as previously amended (the "Schedule 13D"), of Henkel KGaA ("KGaA" and, together with its affiliates, "The Henkel Group") and HC Investments, Inc. ("HCI"), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock"), of Ecolab Inc. ("Ecolab" or the "Company"). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Item 2. Identity and Background. The Schedule 13D is now filed also by Henkel Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The principal executive offices of Henkel Corporation are located at 2200 Renaissance Boulevard, The Triad, Suite 200, Gulph Mills, Pennsylvania 19406. Henkel Corporation is an operating company, the principal business of which is directly and indirectly conducting the home care products, personal care products and adhesives, sealants and surface treatments businesses of The Henkel Group in the United States. Henkel Corporation is also the successor by merger to HCI, one of the previous filing parties to the Schedule 13D and then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Henkel Corporation. HCI was merged with and into Henkel Corporation on December 15, 2004. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Henkel Corporation are owned by KGaA or its subsidiaries, the majority of which is held by Henkel of America, Inc. Henkel of America, Inc. is a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of KGaA. The principal executive offices of Henkel of America, Inc. are located at 2200 Renaissance Boulevard, The Triad, Suite 200, Gulph Mills, Pennsylvania 19406. Henkel of America, Inc. is a holding company. The names, addresses, occupations and citizenship of the executive officers and members of the board of directors, or equivalent body, of each of KGaA, Henkel Corporation and Chemie are set forth in Schedule I hereto. None of KGaA, Henkel U.S., Chemie or, to the best of their knowledge, Henkel of America, Inc. or any of the persons listed on Schedule I hereto has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such 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. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. As noted above, effective December 15, 2004, HCI was merged with and into Henkel Corporation, and the 29,333,328 shares of Common Stock previously held by HCI became direct assets held by Henkel Corporation. The merger was effected for internal organizational purposes of the The Henkel Group. There was no change to the plans or intentions of KGaA and its respective subsidiaries with respect to Ecolab, and no other change occurred in the relationship of any member of The Henkel Group with Ecolab. In connection with the merger, Henkel Corporation executed an Agreement to be Bound, dated as of December 15, 2004, in which it agreed to be bound by the Amended Stockholder's Agreement. KGaA intends to continue to review its investment in Common Stock from time to time and, depending upon certain factors, including without limitation the financial performance of Ecolab, the availability and price of shares of Common Stock on the open market, KGaA's overall relationship with Ecolab, and other general market and investment conditions, KGaA may determine either to acquire through open market purchases or otherwise additional shares of Common Stock, or, based upon such factors, to sell shares of Common Stock, from time to time, in each case to the extent permitted under the Amended Stockholder's Agreement and applicable law. Except as set forth herein, KGaA, Chemie and Henkel Corporation have no current plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a)-(b) At the date hereof, in the aggregate, the 72,629,552 shares of Common Stock owned by KGaA, Henkel Corporation and Chemie represent approximately 28.2% of the 257,706,764 shares of Common Stock reported by Ecolab in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be outstanding as of October 31, 2004. Of that total, Henkel Corporation directly beneficially owns 29,333,328 shares of Common Stock (approximately 11.4% of such total). Henkel Corporation and, by virtue of its indirect control of Henkel Corporation, KGaA share the power to vote and the power to dispose of these shares of Common Stock (subject to the provisions of the Amended Stockholder's Agreement). Chemie directly beneficially owns the remaining 43,359,224 shares of Common Stock (approximately 16.8% of such total). Chemie and, by virtue of its direct control of Chemie, KGaA share the power to vote and the power to dispose of these shares of Common Stock (subject to the provisions of the Amended Stockholder's Agreement). (c) Except for the merger of Henkel Corporation with HCI that resulted in Henkel Corporation's acquisition of direct ownership of Common Stock as described herein, no transactions in shares of Common Stock were effected during the past 60 days by Chemie, Henkel Corporation or KGaA, or, to the best of their knowledge, by Henkel of America, Inc. or any of the other persons listed on Schedule I. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. As noted above, Henkel Corporation executed an Agreement to be Bound in which it agreed to be bound by the Amended Stockholder's Agreement. A copy of the Agreement to be Bound is attached as Exhibit 23 to this Amendment and is incorporated herein by reference. Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
