ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Amendment No. 2 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, which relates 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:
On October 28, 2005, the Fund announced that it would defer the 2005
Annual Meeting until June 2006. In response, on November 3, 2005, Carrousel sent
a letter to the Board of Directors of the Fund (the "Annual Meeting Letter"),
which stated that Carrousel believed this action by the Board to be in violation
of Maryland law and NYSE regulations. Accordingly, the Annual Meeting Letter
requested that the Board reinstate the 2005 Annual Meeting on December 13, 2005.
The foregoing description of the Annual Meeting Letter is not intended to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Annual
Meeting Letter, which is filed as Exhibit G 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).
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
Item 7 is hereby amended by adding the following:
Exhibit G. Letter, dated November 3, 2005, from Carrousel Capital Ltd. to
The Brazil Fund, Inc., Board of Directors.
