         Amendment No. 2 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K is being
filed to incorporate by reference herein certain updated unaudited pro forma
financial information related to the Company and its concurrent offerings of
common stock and convertible subordinated notes and its acquisition of Fresh
Express (as defined below). The Company is also filing herewith a Statement of
Eligibility of Trustee relating to the offering of convertible subordinated
notes.

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         Performance Food Group Company, a Tennessee corporation (the
"Company"), has entered into an agreement to acquire the business described
below. Although the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K is not required
until fifteen days following the consummation of the transaction, the Company
filed the report because consummation of the acquisition is probable.

         On August 9, 2001, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger by and among Fresh International Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Fresh
Express"), the Company and PFGC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition Sub") (the "Agreement").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will acquire Fresh Express through the
merger of Acquisition Sub with and into Fresh Express.

         The aggregate consideration that will be paid by the Company will be
approximately $301.1 million, including the repayment of net debt outstanding
and the assumption of certain liabilities, payable in cash. The actual purchase
price for Fresh Express is subject to adjustments, which are payable in cash,
based upon, among other things, Fresh Express' net worth as of the closing date.
The Company currently estimates that it will have to pay approximately $16.0
million in additional purchase price as a result of this net worth adjustment,
which amount has been included in the assumed acquisition price of $301.1
million. This amount may be increased or decreased subsequent to the closing
date based upon a post-closing review of Fresh Express' net worth as of the
closing date. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay the former
stockholders of Fresh Express, as additional purchase price, up to $10.0 million
in cash if Fresh Express achieves certain operating targets during a three-year
period following closing of the acquisition.

         At the closing, the Company will deliver $15.0 million of the purchase
price into an escrow account under the terms and conditions of a separate
agreement between the former stockholders of Fresh Express, the Company and the
escrow agent to secure the obligations of the former stockholders of Fresh
Express to indemnify the Company or Acquisition Sub under the terms of the
Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement"). Cash delivered pursuant to the Escrow
Agreement may be returned to the Company if the stockholders of Fresh Express
have an obligation to indemnify the Company or Acquisition Sub under the terms
of the Agreement, in most instances, prior to the first anniversary of the
closing.

         The assets to be acquired as a result of the acquisition of Fresh
Express are used by Fresh Express at its Salinas, California, Colorado Springs,
Colorado, Atlanta, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois and Greencastle, Pennsylvania
facilities in its packaged salad business, which the Company will continue. The
consideration payable under the Agreement was determined through arm's length
negotiations between the Company and the Fresh Express stockholders.

                  Company and PFGC Acquisition, Inc. (Pursuant to Item 601(b)(2)
