This Amendment No. 16 ("Amendment No. 16") is being filed by and on behalf of Samuel J. Heyman ("Mr. Heyman"), Raymond S. Troubh ("Mr. Troubh"), Sunil Kumar ("Mr. Kumar"), Gloria Schaffer ("Ms. Schaffer" and, collectively with Mr. Heyman, Mr. Kumar and Mr. Troubh, the "Minority Directors"), Harry Fields ("Mr. Fields"), Anthony T. Kronman ("Mr. Kronman"), Vincent Tese ("Mr. Tese") and Gerald Tsai, Jr. ("Mr. Tsai" and, collectively with Mr. Fields, Mr. Kronman and Mr. Tese, the "Committee Nominees"), ISP Investco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Investco"), International Specialty Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"), and International Specialty Products Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ISP" and, collectively with the Minority Directors, the Committee Nominees, Investco and Holdings, the "Reporting Persons"), and it amends the statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D ("Schedule 13D") filed on July 24, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on October 11, 2000, Amendment No. 2 filed on January 23, 2001, Amendment No. 3 filed on February 7, 2001, Amendment No. 4 filed on February 20, 2001, Amendment No. 5 filed on February 28, 2001, Amendment No. 6 filed on March 7, 2001, Amendment No. 7 filed on March 9, 2001, Amendment No. 8 filed on March 12, 2001, Amendment No. 9 filed on April 4, 2001, Amendment No. 10 filed on April 11, 2001, Amendment No. 11 filed on April 13, 2001, Amendment No. 12 filed on August 2, 2001, Amendment No. 13 filed on February 12, 2003, Amendment No. 14 filed on March 20, 2003 and Amendment No. 15 filed on July 15, 2003, with respect to the ownership of common stock, stated value $25/48 per share ("Common Stock"), of Hercules Incorporated ("Hercules" or the "Company"). As provided in the Joint Filing Agreement previously filed as an exhibit, the Reporting Persons have agreed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to file one Statement on Schedule 13D with respect to their ownership of Common Stock. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D, as previously amended. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: On July 25, 2003, Mr. Heyman, on behalf of The Hercules Shareholders' Committee for New Management (the "Committee"), announced that the Committee had withdrawn its nominees for election to the Hercules Board of Directors and was terminating its solicitation of proxies. Mr. Heyman announced at the same time that Mr. Heyman, Ms. Schaffer, Mr. Troubh and Mr. Kumar, were resigning from the Hercules Board of Directors, effective immediately. In light of the foregoing, ISP will not proceed with its previously announced plan to commence a tender offer to purchase five million shares of Common Stock at $12 per share and purchase five million additional shares of Common Stock in the open market thereafter, which plan had been conditioned upon all four of the Committee's nominees being elected. Page 13 of 16 Pages While ISP has not made a determination at this time with respect to its continued beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, it intends to review its investment and may dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it either in the open market, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The timing of any such dispositions, if made, and the manner in which any such dispositions would be effected will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, market conditions, the trading prices of the Common Stock, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, and such other factors as ISP may consider. As a result of (i) the Committee's withdrawal of its nominees, and (ii) the resignations from the Hercules Board, the Committee has disbanded, and the Committee Nominees, Mr. Troubh, Mr. Kumar and Ms. Schaffer are no longer Reporting Persons, and this constitutes the final amendment of this Schedule 13D with respect to such persons.
