Item 4.             Ownership

 
(a)
As of December 31, 2010, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 1,593,767 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows:  (i) 2,617 shares of Class A Common Stock and 11,435 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer (the “Class B Common Stock”), as custodian under the New York Uniform Transfers to Minors Act for the benefit of Danielle Lauder; (ii) 2,617 shares of Class A Common Stock and 11,435 shares of Class B Common Stock as custodian under the New York Uniform Transfers to Minors Act for the benefit of Rachel Lauder; (iii) 297,180 shares of Class A Common Stock held indirectly as a co-trustee of the 1992 GRAT Remainder Trust f/b/o the Reporting Person (the “GML Remainder Trust”); and (iv) 634,331 shares of Class A Common Stock and 634,152 shares of Class B Common Stock held indirectly as a co-trustee of the 1992 GRAT Remainder Trust f/b/o William Lauder (the “WPL Remainder Trust”).

 
(b)
Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Class A Common Stock and is automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock upon transfer to a person who is not a Permitted Transferee, as that term is defined in the Issuer’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation.  Assuming conversion of all such shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person would beneficially own 1,593,767 shares of Class A Common Stock, which would constitute 1.3% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.
 
 

Page 3 of 8 pages
 
 
 

 
 
 
Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Issuer’s stockholders and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder to ten votes on each such matter, including the election of directors of the Issuer.  Assuming no conversion of any of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the 936,745 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 657,022 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person constitute 0.8% of the aggregate voting power of the Issuer.

 
(c)
The responses of the Reporting Person to Rows (5) through (8) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13G are incorporated herein by reference.  The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to (i) the 2,617 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 11,435 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as custodian for Danielle Lauder; and (ii) the 2,617 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 11,435 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as custodian for Rachel Lauder.  The Reporting Person shares voting and dispositive power with William P. Lauder and Carol S. Boulanger, in each case, as co-trustees of the WPL Remainder Trust and the GML Remainder Trust, with respect to the 634,331 shares of Class A Common Stock and 634,152 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the WPL Remainder Trust and the 2 97,180 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by the GML Remainder Trust.

Boulanger), dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Class B Common Stock owned by their respective trust.  Danielle Lauder, as the beneficiary of the 2,617 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 11,435 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as custodian for her benefit under the New York Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, has the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.  Rachel Lauder, as the beneficiary of the 2,617 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 11,435 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as custodian fo r her benefit under the New York Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, has the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

Lauder (or one of his sons) and Ronald S. Lauder (or one of his daughters) and one designee of each as directors of the Issuer.  The Stockholders’ Agreement also contains certain limitations on the transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock.  Each stockholder who is a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement has agreed to grant to the other parties a right of first offer to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of the stockholder in the event the stockholder i ntends to sell to a person (or group of persons) who is not a Lauder Family Member, as defined therein, except in certain circumstances, such as sales in a widely distributed underwritten public offering or sales made in compliance with Rule 144.
