         This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
joint Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended and supplemented, the
"Schedule TO") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 19,
2000, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 on November 3, 2000, by SB
Acquisition Corp. ("Purchaser"), a New Jersey corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SmithKline Beecham plc, a public limited company organized under
the laws of England and Wales ("Parent"), to purchase all the outstanding shares
of Class A common stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Shares"), of Block Drug
Company, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), which are not owned by
Parent or its affiliates, at a purchase price of $53.00 per Share, net to the
seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase, dated as of October 19, 2000 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in
the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or
supplements thereto, collectively constitute the "Offer"). Capitalized terms
used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Offer to Purchase and the Schedule TO.

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

                  "The initial offer period of the Offer, which was scheduled to
         expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time on December 13, 2000, has
         been extended to 5:00 pm, New York City time, on January 12, 2001. The
         extension is required because all of the conditions to the offer have
         not been satisfied or waived, including, among other things, obtaining
         European Commission antitrust approval. SB anticipates that all
         conditions to the offer, including obtaining this regulatory approval,
         will be satisfied on or prior to the new expiration date.


                  On December 14, 2000, the Offeror issued a press release
         announcing the extension of the initial offer period and set forth the
         number of Shares that have been tendered pursuant to the Offer and not
         withdrawn as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on December 14, 2000. A
         copy of the press release issued by the Offeror on December 14, 2000,
         is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(I) and is incorporated by reference
         herein."

         ITEM 12. EXHIBITS

                   Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented
         by adding thereto the following exhibit:

         "(a)(1)(I)    Press Release issued by Parent on December 14, 2000."
