This Amendment No. 10 (this “ Amendment No. 10 ”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “ Schedule TO ”) originally filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission on June 21, 2011, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 1, 2011, Amendment No. 2 filed on July 7, 2011, Amendment No. 3 filed on July 20, 2011, Amendment No. 4 filed on August 3, 2011, Amendment No. 5 filed on August 10, 2011, Amendment No. 6 filed on August 24, 2011, Amendment No. 7 filed on August 24, 2011, Amendment No. 8 filed on August 29, 2011 and Amendment No. 9 filed on August 31, 2011 by Schneider Electric España, S.A.U., a sociedad anónima unipersonal organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (“ Offeror ”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Schneider Electric SA, a société anonyme organized under the laws of the Republic of France (“ Schneider Electric ”) and Schneider Electric, relating to the offer by Offeror to purchase all of the authorized and issued ordinary shares, € 3.00505 nominal value per share (each, a “ Share ” and, collectively, the “ Shares ”), of Telvent GIT, S.A., a sociedad anónima organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (“ Telvent ”), at a purchase price of $40.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated June 21, 2011 (as amended on July 1, 2011, July 7, 2011, July 20, 2011, August 3, 2011, August 10, 2011, August 24, 2011, August 29, 2011 and August 31, 2011, the “ Offer to Purchase ”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “ Offer ”), copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 10 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

The information in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules and annexes to the Offer to Purchase, and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated in this Amendment No. 10 by reference with respect to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment No. 10.

Items 1, 4, 8 and 11

The Offer to Purchase and Items 1, 4, 8 and 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent Items 1, 4, 8 and 11 incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text:

“The Subsequent Offering Period expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, September 28, 2011, and was not further extended. The Depositary has indicated that, as of the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, an aggregate of 1,333,318 Shares were validly tendered in the Subsequent Offering Period, and Offeror has accepted for payment all validly tendered Shares. Including those Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer, Offeror now owns a total of approximately 33,483,153 Shares, representing approximately 98.2 % of the number of Shares authorized and issued as of the date of the Transaction Agreement.

In accordance with the Transaction Agreement, we intend to use our reasonable best efforts to cause Telvent to call a general shareholders’ meeting for the purposes of obtaining the requisite shareholder approval of a share capital reduction of Telvent through the redemption of all Shares not then owned by Schneider Electric and its affiliates (the “ Minority Shares ”) following the procedure established under Spanish law (the “ Minority Shareholder Share Redemption ”). Under Spanish law, in addition to the requirement of general shareholder approval, the Minority Shareholder Share Redemption must also be approved by ( i ) if at least fifty percent (50%) of the Minority Shares are present or represented at the applicable general shareholders’ meeting, the holders of a majority of the Minority Shares present or represented or ( ii ) if at least twenty-five percent (25%), but less than fifty percent (50%), of the Minority Shares are present or represented at the applicable general shareholders’ meeting, the holders of two-thirds of the Minority Shares present or represented. We will not be able to obtain the requisite approval for the Minority Shareholder Share Redemption without the support and approval of the requisite majority of the holders of the Minority Shares and there can be no assurance that such approval will be obtained. If the Minority Shareholder Share Redemption is approved and consummated, each of the Minority Shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Minority Shareholder Share Redemption will confer on its holder solely the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes and deductions in respect of Spanish capital tax, and will be cancelled and extinguished upon registration of the share capital reduction in the Madrid Companies’ Registry. See Section 11— “Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Telvent;

 

2


Appraisal Rights—(b) Plans for Telvent—Minority Shareholder Share Redemption” for more information concerning the Minority Shareholder Share Redemption.

Additionally, subject to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Offeror intends to cause Telvent to submit the delisting of the Shares on NASDAQ for shareholder adoption and approval at the next general shareholders’ meeting. The delisting of the Shares on NASDAQ requires the approval of holders of a majority of the Shares present or represented at a general shareholders’ meeting of Telvent. Assuming we maintain beneficial ownership of greater than a majority of the total authorized and issued Shares, we will own sufficient Shares to obtain the requisite shareholder approval for the delisting of the Shares without the affirmative vote of any other shareholder of Telvent. We intend to vote our Shares to approve the delisting and, therefore, anticipate that the Shares will cease to be traded on NASDAQ following the next general shareholders’ meeting irrespective of whether or not the Minority Shareholder Share Redemption is approved and consummated. See Section 12— “Certain Effects of the Offer” regarding the delisting the Shares from NASDAQ.
