Item 5.01. Change in Control of Registrant

     On April 15, 2005, Mittal Steel USA ISG Inc. (formerly known as International Steel Group Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Mittal Steel USA ISG”), merged with Park Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mittal Steel Company N.V. (formerly known as Ispat International N.V.), a company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Mittal Steel”), with Mittal Steel USA ISG surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mittal Steel (the “Merger”). The Merger was consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of October 24, 2004 and amended as of April 11, 2005, among Mittal Steel, Park Acquisition Corp. and Mittal Steel USA ISG (the “Merger Agreement”). In connection with the Merger, International Steel Group Inc. was renamed “Mittal Steel USA ISG Inc.” Mittal Steel USA ISG is also referred to herein with respect to periods prior to the Merger as “ISG.”

     Immediately prior to the Merger, ISG had 100,035,950 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each former ISG stockholder was entitled to elect to receive: (1) US$42.00 per share in cash, (2) 1.21740 Mittal Steel class A common shares, par value 0.01 per share, or (3) a combination of cash and Mittal Steel class A common shares (the “Merger Consideration”). All elections are subject to the proration procedures provided in the Merger Agreement designed to ensure that, in the aggregate, 50% of the shares of ISG common stock will be exchanged for cash and 50% of the shares of ISG common stock will be exchanged for Mittal Steel class A common shares. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all issued and outstanding shares of ISG common stock have been cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. In addition, each share of common stock, par value US$0.01 per share, of Park Acquisition Corp. has been converted into a share of common stock, par value US$0.01 per share, of Mittal Steel USA ISG, resulting in Mittal Steel USA ISG becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Mittal Steel.

     In the aggregate, Mittal Steel will issue approximately 60,891,883 Mittal Steel class A common shares and pay approximately US$2.1 billion in cash to the former ISG stockholders in exchange for their shares of ISG common stock. Mittal Steel has informed Mittal Steel USA ISG that financing for US$1.7 billion of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration was provided by a consortium of lenders arranged by ABN Amro Bank N.V., Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Credit Suisse First Boston International, Deutsche Bank AG London, HSBC Bank Plc and UBS Limited, as lead arrangers (the “Arrangers”), under a Credit Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2005, among Mittal Steel and certain subsidiaries of Mittal Steel as original borrowers, the Arrangers, certain other lenders signatory to the Credit Agreement and HSBC Bank Plc, as facility agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The remainder of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration is being paid from cash on hand within Mittal Steel and its subsidiaries.

     At the effective time of the Merger, the board of directors of Mittal Steel USA ISG was reconstituted to include Mr. Lakshmi N. Mittal, Mr. Aditya Mittal, Mr. Malay Mukherjee, Mr. Muni Krishna T. Reddy, Mr. Fernando Ruiz Sahagun and Mr. Richard Leblanc, each of whom are employees and/or directors of Mittal Steel or its subsidiaries. Mr. Wilbur L. Ross, the former Chairman of ISG has joined Mittal Steel’s board of directors.
