  This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28,
1999 (the "Schedule 14D-1") relating to an offer by Atlanta Acquisition Corp.,
a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgia-
Pacific Corporation, a Georgia corporation ("Parent"), to purchase all
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Shares"),
of Unisource Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a
price of $12.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase,
dated May 28, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto,
collectively constitute the "Offer"), copies of which were attached as
exhibits to the Schedule 14D-1.

Item 4. Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration.

  Item 4 is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety the
section "THE OFFER--Section 9. Financing the Offer and the Merger" in the
Offer to Purchase as follows:

  The Offer is not conditioned upon any financing arrangements. Purchaser
estimates that the total amount of funds that it will require to consummate
the Offer and the Merger, repay certain outstanding indebtedness of the
Company which will become payable upon completion of the Merger and pay
related fees and expenses is approximately $1.3 billion. Purchaser will obtain
all such funds from Parent.

  Parent has borrowed $470 million of the total amount required by Purchaser
by increasing its existing accounts receivable sale program with a consortium
of banks led by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce from approximately $280
million at March 31, 1999 to a total of $750 million. Parent pays for funds
advanced under this program at 35 basis points over the commercial paper
borrowing costs of the acquirors of such receivables, plus applicable fees.
This program, which is not otherwise collateralized, matures on June 15, 2000.

  An additional $750 million of the total amount required will be obtained
from the public offering and sale by Parent of Premium Equity Participation
Security Units (the "PEPS Units") each consisting of a senior deferrable
interest-bearing note maturing on August 16, 2004 and a stock purchase
contract requiring the purchase of $50 worth of shares of Parent Common Stock
(as defined below) not later than August 16, 2002. The number of shares
purchased for $50 will depend on the average closing price of Parent Common
Stock over a twenty trading-day period ending August 13, 2002. The PEPS Units
will provide a total yield anticipated to be not more than 7.5% per annum. The
PEPS Units offering may, under certain circumstances, be increased to a total
of $862.5 million.

  The remaining part of the required $1.3 billion will be obtained from short-
term borrowings supported by a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit
facility (the "Revolver"), being arranged for Parent by Banc of America
Securities LLC. This facility will be used to support money market and
commercial paper borrowings; in addition, borrowings may be made under this
facility at an annual interest cost of approximately 75 basis points over
LIBOR. Fifty percent of such facility will be repayable in one year and fifty
percent in five years. No decisions have been made with regard to the sources
of funds Parent will use to repay borrowings under this facility. Parent has
traditionally maintained this type of revolving credit facility on a permanent
basis.

  If funds from the sale of the PEPS Units and from the Revolver are not
available in time to pay for the Shares and repay Company debt, Parent expects
to utilize a 364-day non-collateralized bridge loan of up to $1.0 billion
expected to be extended to Parent by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. at an
interest rate expected to be 100 basis points over LIBOR. All such borrowings
will be repaid from proceeds from the sale of the PEPS Units and the Revolver.

              IKON OFFICE SOLUTIONS, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                             NOTICE TO PARTICIPANTS

                          IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED

                                                                   JUNE 11, 1999

Dear Participant in the IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan:

          The enclosed package contains very important information about the
proposed transaction (the "Transaction") between Unisource Worldwide, Inc.
("Unisource") and Atlanta Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Georgia-Pacific Corporation, a Georgia corporation (collectively referred to as
"Georgia-Pacific" ). The Transaction will directly affect your interest in the
portion of your account under the IKON Office Solutions, Inc.  Retirement
Savings Plan (the "Plan") that is invested in Unisource Worldwide, Inc. common
stock ("Unisource Stock") through the Unisource Stock Fund.

          Under the terms of the Plan, you are the named fiduciary of your
interest in the Unisource Stock Fund portion of your account under the Plan
("Account") and you have the power and responsibility for directing how The
Northern Trust Company (the "Trustee"), as the trustee of the Plan and the
shareholder of record, responds to tender offers with respect to such stock held
in your Account.

          The enclosed materials include a Direction Form, as well as material
provided to Unisource shareholders in connection with the Transaction, including
the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal, Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on schedule 14D-9.  PLEASE READ
ALL OF THE ENCLOSED MATERIALS CAREFULLY.

          As more fully described below and in the enclosed package, the
transaction is comprised of a Tender Offer - that is, an offer by Georgia-
Pacific to purchase any and all outstanding shares of Unisource Stock, including
the shares of Unisource Stock allocated to your Account and held by the Trustee,
at a price of $12.00 per share net to the shareholder in cash, without interest
thereon, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the enclosed Agreement and
Plan of Merger.  As a participant in the Plan, you have the power and
responsibility to direct the Trustee whether or not to tender any or all shares
of Unisource Stock allocated to your Account.

          After reading these materials, you should complete the enclosed yellow
Direction Form and return it in the postage-paid envelope that is provided.  In
order to ensure that your directions to the Trustee remain confidential, all
Direction Forms will be returned directly to the Trustee.  Your completed
Direction Form must be received before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on June
23, 1999.  DO NOT COMPLETE THE BLUE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL INCLUDED WITH THE
ENCLOSED PACKAGE.  IT IS PROVIDED TO YOU ONLY FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

          Please note that a form that is postmarked before the June 23, 1999
deadline but actually received after the deadline will be too late and not
effective.  Mail your form early enough for it to be RECEIVED BY THE TRUSTEE
before the deadline.

          IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TENDER OFFER, YOUR DIRECTION FORM
MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE TRUSTEE BEFORE 5:00 P.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME ON JUNE
23,1999 (THE "DIRECTION DEADLINE").  NOT RETURNING A PROPERLY COMPLETED FORM BY
THE DIRECTION DEADLINE WILL BE A DIRECTION TO THE TRUSTEE NOT TO TENDER AND THE
TRUSTEE WILL NOT TENDER ANY OF THE SHARES OF UNISOURCE STOCK ALLOCATED TO YOUR
ACCOUNT.
<PAGE>

          Please note that YOUR INSTRUCTIONS TO THE TRUSTEE WILL BE KEPT
CONFIDENTIAL.  No one at IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (the "Company"), Unisource,
or Georgia-Pacific will be informed of your decision on how to instruct the
Trustee.

          SUMMARY OF PROPOSED TRANSACTION

          The proposed acquisition of Unisource by Georgia-Pacific will take
place as described in the enclosed materials:

          Georgia-Pacific has made a TENDER OFFER to buy any and all of the
outstanding shares of Unisource Stock for $12.00 per share for each share
tendered (the "Per Share Amount"), subject to the conditions described in the
enclosed package (the "Tender Offer"), net to the shareholder in cash, subject
to any applicable withholding of taxes.  The Trustee is the shareholder of
record for Unisource Stock allocated to your Account and thus the Trustee will
receive any cash proceeds resulting from the Tender Offer.  The cash proceeds
will be invested in the Plan, as described on page three of this Notice in the
section entitled "Investment of Tender Offer Proceeds". The Tender Offer may be
extended or terminated under specified circumstances, as described in the
enclosed package.  If all the requisite conditions, as described in the enclosed
package, are satisfied or waived at the expiration of the Tender Offer, Atlanta
Acquisition Corp. will be merged with and into Unisource (thereby creating the
"Surviving Corporation").  Furthermore, with certain exceptions, each share of
Unisource Stock that was not tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer will be
converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount
equal to the Per Share Amount in cash (the "Merger Consideration") payable,
without interest, to the holder of such share of Unisource Stock.  As with the
cash proceeds of tendered shares, the cash proceeds resulting from the purchase
of un-tendered shares will be invested in the Plan, as described on page three
of this Notice in the section entitled "Investment of Tender Offer Proceeds".

          At this time, you have the opportunity to determine how to respond to
the Tender Offer.  By completing the attached Direction Form in accordance with
the instructions set forth below, you may direct the Trustee of the Plan whether
to tender all, some, or none of the shares of Unisource Stock allocated to your
Account.

          HOW THE TENDER OFFER WORKS

          Everyone who owns shares of Unisource Stock, including trustees of
employee benefit plans such as the Plan, may tender their shares of Unisource
Stock - meaning offer to sell the shares to Georgia-Pacific.  The Tender Offer
is currently scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Standard Time, on
June 25, 1999, but the Tender Offer may be extended.  THE DEADLINE FOR
SUBMITTING YOUR DIRECTION TO THE TRUSTEE IS 5:00 P.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME ON
JUNE 23,1999.  THE TENDER OFFER MAY BE EXTENDED. IF THE TENDER OFFER IS
EXTENDED, YOUR DIRECTION DEADLINE MAY ALSO BE EXTENDED.

          PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CANNOT TENDER THE SHARES OF UNISOURCE STOCK
ALLOCATED TO YOUR ACCOUNT DIRECTLY TO GEORGIA-PACIFIC.  INSTEAD, IF YOU WANT
THOSE SHARES OF UNISOURCE STOCK TO BE TENDERED, YOU MUST USE THE ENCLOSED YELLOW
DIRECTION FORM TO DIRECT THE TRUSTEE.

          As explained in the enclosed package, there are a number of conditions
that must be met for Georgia-Pacific to be obligated to buy Unisource Stock.
Most importantly, notwithstanding any other provision of the Tender Offer but
subject to compliance with the other provisions of the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, Georgia-Pacific is not required to accept for payment or pay for any
shares of Unisource Stock tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer, and may
terminate or amend the Tender Offer in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of
Merger and may extend the acceptance for payment of and payment for shares of
Unisource Stock tendered, if, among other conditions, at least the number of
shares of Unisource Stock that, when added to the shares of Unisource Stock
already owned by Georgia-Pacific, constitute a majority of the then outstanding
shares of Unisource Stock on a fully diluted basis (including, without
limitation, all shares of Unisource Stock issuable upon the conversion of

                                       2
<PAGE>

any convertible securities or upon the exercise of any options, warrants or
rights) has not been validly tendered (and not withdrawn) prior to the
expiration of the Tender Offer (the "Minimum Condition").

          THUS, THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE SHARES OF UNISOURCE
STOCK ALLOCATED TO YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE PURCHASED BY GEORGIA-PACIFIC PURSUANT TO
THE TENDER OFFER, EVEN IF YOU DIRECT THE TRUSTEE TO TENDER ALL OF THE SHARES OF
UNISOURCE STOCK ALLOCATED TO YOUR ACCOUNT.  IN ADDITION, IF CERTAIN CONDITIONS
ARE NOT MET, THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY SHARES OF UNISOURCE STOCK WILL BE
PURCHASED.

          PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REASONS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR
NOT YOU DIRECT THE TRUSTEE TO TENDER, NO TRANSACTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED WITH
RESPECT TO THE UNISOURCE STOCK FUND FROM THE DIRECTION DEADLINE (OR IF DIRECTION
DEADLINE IS EXTENDED, FROM THE EXTENDED DIRECTION DEADLINE) TO THE END OF THE
TENDER OFFER OR SUCH LATER DATE AS MAY BE NECESSARY.

          INVESTMENT OF TENDER OFFER PROCEEDS

          INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS IN THE PLAN WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY PORTION OF
THE TENDER PROCEEDS DIRECTLY.  ALL SUCH PROCEEDS WILL REMAIN IN THE PLAN AND MAY
BE WITHDRAWN ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE PLAN.

          Georgia-Pacific will pay cash to the Trustee for all shares of
Unisource Stock allocated to your Account that are actually purchased pursuant
to the Tender Offer.  The cash proceeds will be invested in the Stable Value
Fund established under the Plan.

          PROCEDURE FOR DIRECTING TRUSTEE

          A yellow Direction Form for you to use to direct the Trustee is
enclosed.  In order to be effective, the Direction Form must be properly
completed and returned in the enclosed envelope in time to be received by the
Trustee before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on June 23, 1999.  A form that is
postmarked before this deadline but actually received after the deadline will be
too late and will not be effective.

          Neither IKON Office Solutions, Inc. nor the Trustee makes any
recommendations as to whether or not you should direct the tender of shares of
Unisource Stock allocated to your Account.  You must make your own decision on
this matter.  As the named fiduciary with respect to your Account, you are
solely responsible for the consequences of your decision regarding the Tender
Offer.

Please note that the address label on the reverse side of the yellow Direction
Form indicates the number of actual shares of Unisource Stock allocated to your
Account as of May 25, 1999.  The Direction Form provides that you may instruct
the Trustee to tender all of the shares of Unisource Stock, a percentage of the
shares of Unisource Stock, or none of the shares of Unisource Stock allocated to
your Account.

          To properly complete your yellow Direction Form, you must do the
following:

               1)  On the reverse side of the form, check Box 1, Box 2, or Box
     3. CHECK ONLY ONE BOX.

          .    CHECK BOX 1 if you want to tender all of the shares of Unisource
               Stock allocated to your Account.

                                       3
<PAGE>

          .    CHECK BOX 2 if you want some whole percentage of the shares of
               Unisource Stock allocated to your Account to be tendered, AND
               fill in that whole percentage.

          .    CHECK BOX 3 if you do not want any of the shares of Unisource
               Stock allocated to your Account to be tendered.

               2)  Sign and date the Direction Form in the space provided.

               3)  Keep a copy of your Direction Form for your records.

               4)  Mail the Direction Form promptly in the postage-paid envelope
                   that is provided. FAXED DIRECTION FORMS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.
                   If you do not want to tender any shares of Unisource Stock
                   allocated to your Account, you need not return the Direction
                   Form, since a failure to direct the Trustee is a direction
                   not to tender shares.

          REMEMBER, IF YOU WANT TO TENDER, THE TRUSTEE MUST RECEIVE YOUR
          DIRECTION FORM BEFORE 5:00 P.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME ON JUNE 23,1999.

          If you sign, date and return the enclosed yellow Direction Form but do
not check any box on the Direction Form, the Trustee will treat your Direction
Form as not providing any direction to the Trustee regarding the Tender Offer.
Your Direction Form will be deemed irrevocable unless you send a new, later-
dated Direction Form that is received by the Trustee before 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time on June 23, 1999 (or, if the Direction Deadline is extended,
before the extended Direction Deadline) at the following address:

                    The Northern Trust Company, Trustee
                    P.O. Box 1997
                    New York, New York 10117-0024

          In order to be effective, your later-dated Direction Form must be
properly completed, must include your name, address, Social Security number and
be received by the Trustee before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on June 23,
1999.  Otherwise, your earlier Direction Form will still be in effect.
Additional Direction Forms and mailing envelopes can be obtained by calling 1-
800-488-8095.

          You are the named fiduciary with respect to your Account.
Accordingly, neither IKON Office Solutions, Inc. nor the Trustee can make
recommendations to you regarding what decisions to make.  If you have questions
about the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, please contact the
Information Agent for the Tender Offer, D.F. King & Co., Inc. at 1-800-488-8095.

     paper dealer selected by ASCC, as determined by ASCC and reported by ASCC
     to the Seller and the Collection Agent, and (ii) in the case of a Purchaser
     other than ASCC, Notes of such Purchaser that are allocated, in whole or in

     agent or commercial paper dealer selected by such Purchaser, as determined
     by such Purchaser and reported to the Seller and the Collection Agent;

     provided that, if the rate or rates, as agreed between any such agent or
     --------
     dealer and such Purchaser with regard to any Settlement Period for any
     Receivable Interest, is a discount rate (or rates), the "Investor Rate" for
     such Settlement Period shall be the rate (or if more than one rate, the
     weighted average of the rates) resulting from converting such discount rate
     (or rates) to an interest-bearing equivalent rate per annum, and (y) .05%
     per annum;

and (ii) deleting the percentage "1%" contained in paragraph (b) thereof and
substituting in replacement thereof the percentage "1.25%".

          (c) The definition of "Reserve" in Article I of the Primary Agreement

     "Receivable Interests" owned by the Secondary Purchasers under the
     Secondary Purchaser Agreement, (c) the aggregate Collection Agent Fee
     Reserve, if any, for all Receivable Interests owned by the Purchasers and

     aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables on such date.

     product of (i) the average daily outstanding Aggregate Capital of such
     Purchaser and (ii) .28% per annum;

          (ii) to each Purchaser, a fee (the "Investor Fee") computed at the per

of or resulting from (i) the failure of the Purchasers and the Administrative
Agent, (ii) the credit quality of the Seller, and (iii) the failure of the

data, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Purchasers and the
Administrative Agent, with respect to the Receivables to the Purchasers and the
Administrative Agent to have received on the date hereof the documents and
opinions set forth in Section 8 above; provided, however, that the Seller

Section 9 shall constitute an Event of Termination under the Agreements with the
same force and effect as if such provisions were set forth therein, and shall
entitle the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent to exercise any and all
remedies described in the Agreements.

          10.  Agreements to Remain in Effect.  Upon and after the effective
               ------------------------------
date of this Amendment, all references to the Agreements in the Agreements, or

executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
