SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The Selling Shareholders, listed below, acquired the Shares
in exchange for shares of SI Holding, which was acquired by Unifi
in a merger transaction consummated on November 14, 1997. The
offer and sale of the Shares was exempt from registration under
the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. The Company
has registered the Shares for resale by the Selling Shareholders.
The following table sets forth, as of the date hereof, the
names of the Selling Shareholders, the shares of Common Stock
owned by each of the Selling Shareholders, the shares of Common
Stock to be offered from time to time by each of them, and the
shares of Common Stock to be owned by each of the Selling
Shareholders after completion of this offering. The information
concerning the Selling Shareholders may change from time to time,
and any such changed information will be set forth in supplements
to this Prospectus if and when necessary. The Company is not
aware of any agreements, arrangements or understandings with
respect to the sale of any of the Shares. The Shares are being
registered to permit public secondary trading of the Shares, and
the Selling Shareholders may offer the Shares for resale from
time to time. Except as provided below, none of the Selling
Shareholders has had a material relationship with Unifi within
the past three years other than as a result of the acquisition
and ownership of the Shares. See "Plan of Distribution."
