and wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire, on November 17, 2000, as amended by
(i) Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO, filed by Berkshire and Purchaser on December
5, 2000, and (ii) Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO, filed by Berkshire and
Purchaser on December 7, 2000 (such Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and
all amendments thereto collectively constituting the "Schedule TO").
The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the
outstanding Common Stock, par value $3.33 1/3 (the "Shares"), of Benjamin Moore
& Co., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), at the purchase price of $37.82

ITEM 8. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY
Item 8 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by including
the following:
