           This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
July 17, 2000 by OM Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser")
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Mutual plc, a public limited company
incorporated in England and Wales ("Parent"), with respect to the offer by
Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of United Asset Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), at a price of $25.00 per share, subject to possible downward
adjustment as provided in the Offer to Purchase, net to the seller in cash,
without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 17, 2000, filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to
this Statement (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (which, together with any supplements or amendments, collectively
constitute the "Offer").

           ITEM 4 -- TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION.

           ADDITION TO THE SUMMARY TERM SHEET. The Summary Term Sheet contained
in the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by adding the following after the
ninth "Q & A":

           Q. MAY UAM TERMINATE THE MERGER AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO AN
           ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTION? WILL UAM HAVE TO PAY A TERMINATION FEE?

           A. In the Merger Agreement, UAM agreed not to directly or indirectly
           solicit or encourage any person to make any alternative proposal to
           acquire UAM or its material subsidiaries and UAM agreed not to
           (except under certain circumstances) negotiate any alternative
           acquisition proposal. However, UAM may terminate the Merger Agreement
           and concurrently enter into a definitive agreement providing for an
           alternative acquisition transaction if, among other things:

                          -  the alternative transaction resulted from a bona
           fide unsolicited written proposal to acquire all or substantially all
           of the Shares or assets of UAM which UAM's board of directors
           determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with UAM's
           independent financial advisor) is on terms superior in value from a
           financial point of view to the holders of Shares than the
           transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, taking into
           account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and the Merger
           Agreement (including any revised proposal by Old Mutual), and
           reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all
           financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of the proposal, and

                          -  UAM concurrently pays Old Mutual a termination fee
           of $43 million.

                     The $43 million termination fee may also payable in certain
           other circumstances as described in Section 11.

           CLARIFICATIONS TO SECTION 14 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE ("CERTAIN
CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER"). If Purchaser waives any of the conditions to the
Offer, it will do so on or prior to the Expiration Date. Accordingly, Section 14


                                       3
<PAGE>
of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended as follows: the words "before
Purchaser's acceptance for payment of Shares" in clause (C) of the first
paragraph of Section 14 are hereby deleted and replaced by the words "before the
Expiration Date"; and the words "up to and including the Expiration Date" are
hereby inserted immediately after the phrase "at any time and from time to time"
both times such phrase appears in the penultimate paragraph of Section 14.

           ITEM 7 -- SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS AND OTHER CONSIDERATION.

           Section 12 of the Offer to Purchase ("Source and Amount of Funds") is
hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

           At present, except for Parent's available cash resources and
           contemplated borrowings under the Existing Facility and the New
           Facility, no alternative sources of financing are under consideration
           by Parent for the funds required to consummate the Offer and the
           Merger, pay related fees and expenses and retire outstanding
           indebtedness of the Company which may become due as a result of the
           Offer and the Merger. Parent currently intends to refinance amounts
           borrowed in connection with the Offer and the Merger with retained
           earnings, insurance policyholder investments, the proceeds from the
           issuance of debt securities and/or the proceeds of dispositions of
           certain assets.

           ITEM 11 -- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

           On July 27, 2000, the FTC notified Parent that early termination of
the waiting period under the HSR Act had been granted.
