ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Amendment No. 3 to the statement on Schedule 13D amends Items 4 and 7
of the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by: (a) The Carrousel Fund
Ltd. ("Carrousel Fund I"), (b) The Carrousel Fund II Limited ("Carrousel Fund
II"), (c) Carrousel Capital Ltd. ("Carrousel"), and (d) Bruno Sangle-Ferriere
("Sangle-Ferriere" and, collectively with Carrousel Fund I, Carrousel Fund II
and Carrousel Capital, the "Reporting Persons") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 16, 2005 and amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on October
21, 2005 and Amendment No. 2 filed on November 7, 2005, which relate to the
shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of The Brazil Fund, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the "Fund"). The principal executive offices of the Fund
are located at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:
In accordance with Section 2.11 of the Fund's Restated By-Laws, Carrousel
notified the Fund in writing on November 7, 2005 (the "Special Meeting Letter")
that it intended to appear in person or by proxy to nominate each of Francis
Rupert Chad Lea, James Best and Gordon Muir-Carby for election as directors of
the Fund at the Fund's Special Meeting of Stockholders to take place on December
13, 2005 in place of Ms. Donna J. Hrinak, Mr. Ronaldo Norueira and Ms. Susan
Purcell, the three Class III candidates who did not receive the requisite vote
to be re-elected at the 2004 Annual Meeting and are holding over. The Special
Meeting Letter contained substantially the same information about the nominees
as the 2005 Nomination Letter. The foregoing description of the Special Meeting
Letter is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the
complete text of the Special Meeting Letter, which is filed as Exhibit H hereto
and is incorporated herein by reference.
Other than as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons or, in the
case of non-individual Reporting Persons, any of their directors or executive
officers identified in Item 2, have any present plans or proposals which relate
to or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through
(j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (although they reserve the right to
develop any such plans or proposals).
