Item 1. Identity of Issuer
(a) The name of the issuer is The Estee
Lauder Companies Inc. (the "Issuer").
(b) The address of the Issuer's principal
executive office is 767 Fifth Avenue,
New York, New York 10153.
Item 2. Identity of Person Filing
(a) - (c) This report is being filed by the Trust
f/b/o Aerin Lauder and Jane Lauder u/a/d
December 15, 1976 created by Estee
Lauder and Joseph H. Lauder, as
Grantors, with a business address of c/o
Richard D. Parsons, 75 Rockefeller
Plaza, New York, New York 10019 (the
"Reporting Person"). The Reporting
Person was organized in the State of New
York.
(d) - (e) This report covers the Issuer's Class A
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Class A Common Stock"). The CUSIP
number of the Class A Common Stock is
518439 10 4.
Item 3.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Ownership
(a) At December 31, 2001, the Reporting
Person beneficially owned 11,043,961
shares of Class A Common Stock as
follows: 4,000,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock and 7,043,961 shares of
Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of the Issuer (the "Class B
Common Stock") held directly by the
Reporting Person. At December 31, 2001,
4,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
were loaned to Ronald S. Lauder pursuant
to a demand loan.
(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 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 11,043,961 shares of
Class A Common Stock, which would
constitute 8.1% of the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock outstanding.
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 4,000,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock and the 7,043,961
shares of Class B Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Reporting
Person constitute 6.1% of the aggregate
voting power of the Issuer.
(c) Richard D. Parsons, as the sole trustee
of the Reporting Person, has sole voting
and dispositive power with respect to
the 4,000,000 shares of Class A Common
Page 3 of 7 Pages
Stock and the 7,043,961 shares of Class
B Common Stock owned by the Reporting
Person.
Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person
Aerin Lauder and Jane Lauder, as beneficiaries of the
Reporting Person, and Richard D. Parsons, as the sole trustee
of the Reporting Person, have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the 4,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
and the 7,043,961 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the
Reporting Person.
Item 7. Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which
Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Identification and Classification of Members of the Group
The Reporting Person is a party to a Stockholders' Agreement
(the "Stockholders' Agreement"), dated November 22, 1995, as
amended, among the parties listed on Exhibit A attached
hereto. The stockholders who are parties to the Stockholders'
Agreement have agreed to vote in favor of the election of
Leonard A. Lauder and Ronald S. Lauder and one designee of
each as directors of the Issuer. Mr. Parsons is the designee
of Ronald S. Lauder. 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
intends 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.
