Problem with paraphrasing

Hello,

I'm not sure if these sentences are correct:


1. I found my long-lost wallet in my old suitcase, which was surprising. (TO)

1. I found it surprisng to find my long-lost wallet in my old suitcase.


2. The airline announced the delay of the plane saying they were sorry about that. (REGRETTED)

2. The airline regretted to announce the delay of the plane.


3. After finding a new strategy, he succeeded. (HAD)

3. He didn't a new strategy.


I have no ideas for the last sentence Emotion: sad I was thinking about "He didn't have problems finding, but HAD is given so it's tottaly incorrect.
