INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 2 to the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is
being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by: (1) Shaw Industries,
Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Shaw"), the issuer of the equity securities that

Shaw, a director and chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Shaw, (3) Robert E.
Shaw, L.P., a limited partnership through which Mr. Shaw holds common stock, (4)
Julian D. Saul, a director and President of Shaw, (5) Julian D. Saul Family
Trust, a trust controlled by Mr. Saul, (6) Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Investor"), (7) SII Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Investor ("Merger Sub"), (8) William C. Lusk, Jr., a
director of Shaw, (9) W. Norris Little, a director and Vice Chairman of Shaw,
(10) Little Family Limited Partnership, a family limited partnership controlled

(12) Kenneth G. Jackson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of

Executive Vice President, Investor Relations of Shaw. This Transaction Statement
relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of
October 19, 2000 by and among Merger Sub, Shaw and Investor, pursuant to which
Merger Sub will be merged with and into Shaw, with Shaw as the surviving
corporation. Merger Sub was formed by Investor solely for the purpose of
engaging in the merger and related transactions. Merger Sub has entered into an
amended and restated contribution and participation agreement (the "Contribution
Agreement") with an investor group which includes Investor, Mr. Shaw, the Robert
E. Shaw L.P. and certain of Mr. Shaw's family members and related family
interests, Mr. Saul, the Julian D. Saul Family Trust, Mrs. Saul and a trust
controlled by her, Mr. Lusk, Mr. Little, the Little Family Limited Partnership,

investor group will contribute shares of Shaw common stock to Merger Sub in
exchange for shares of common stock of Merger Sub. Upon consummation of the
Contribution Agreement immediately prior to the completion of the merger,
Berkshire Hathaway will own 87.3% of Merger Sub and the other members of the
investor group will own the remaining 12.7% of Merger Sub. Subject to the terms
and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger,
Merger Sub will be merged with and into Shaw, and each outstanding share of Shaw
common stock, other than shares held by Investor, Merger Sub or their
subsidiaries, and shares for which dissenters' rights are perfected under
Georgia law, will be converted into the right to receive $19.00 in cash.
The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement are described in the
Definitive Proxy Statement of Shaw, being filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement. A copy of
the Proxy Statement is filed with this Transaction Statement as Exhibit (a), and
