This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 4, 2003, and amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2003, and Amendment No. 2, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 16, 2004 (collectively, the “Schedule TO”) by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), relating to a tender offer by the Company for up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price not greater than $18.00 nor less than $16.25 per share, net to the seller in cash. The Company’s offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 4, 2003 and in the related Letter of Transmittal, which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the offer. This Amendment is filed to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal were previously filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

 

The information in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated in this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule TO by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

Items 4 and 8 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

 

The tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, January 15, 2004. Based on the final tabulation by the depositary for the tender offer, 16,210,238 shares of common stock were properly tendered and not withdrawn at prices at or below $17.00 per share. The Company will purchase 10,000,000 shares, resulting in a proration factor of approximately 61.49% of the shares tendered, other than the “odd lot” shares properly tendered at or below the $17.00 purchase price which will be purchased prior to proration.

 

Item 11.

 

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
