The following is an amendment to the section entitled
Agreements with Royal Pakhoed N.V., subsection entitled
Univar Europe Shareholder Agreement.
Under the Shareholder Agreement, Pakhoed had a unilateral
right to require Univar to acquire Pakhoed's 49% interest in
Univar Europe. In May, 1994, Pakhoed gave notice to Univar
that Pakhoed had elected to require Univar to purchase
Pakhoed's interest in Univar Europe. Under the terms of the
Shareholder Agreement, Univar has designated September 1,
1994 as the date on which it will purchase said interest.
Following is the amended proxy card:
