INTRODUCTION

  This Final Amendment supplements and amends the Transaction Statement on
Schedule 13E-3, dated March 30, 2000 (as amended, the "Schedule 13E-3"), filed  
by New AAP Limited, a Bermuda corporation ("New AAP"), Apple Hold Co., L.P., a  
Bermuda limited partnership ("Apple Hold Co."), Amway Asia Pacific Ltd., a      
Bermuda corporation ("AAP"), Richard M. DeVos, Jr. and Stephen A. Van Andel,    
relating to the amalgamation of New AAP and AAP (the "Amalgamation") pursuant to
a Tender Offer and Amalgamation Agreement, dated November 15, 1999, among AAP,  
New AAP and Apple Hold Co. (the "Amalgamation Agreement"). On April 27, 2000,   
New AAP and AAP amalgamated, with AAP continuing as the amalgamated company. As 
a result of the Amalgamation, New AAP ceased to exist as a separate entity and  
therefore, is not a signatory to this Final Amendment. This Final Amendment is  
being filed pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934    
(the "Exchange Act") and Rule 13e-3(d)(3) thereunder. Capitalized terms used but
not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13E-3     
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2000.            

ITEM 5. PAST CONTRACTS, TRANSACTIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND AGREEMENTS.              

The information set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby   
supplemented and amended as follows:                                            

 At a special meeting of shareholders of AAP held on April 27, 2000, the
shareholders of AAP voted to approve the Amalgamation Agreement. The            
Amalgamation Agreement was approved by the shareholders of AAP common stock, in 
person or by proxy, representing 55,312,477 shares, which is approximately 98%  
of the outstanding shares of AAP common stock. Holders, in person or by proxy,  
representing 44,712 shares voted against approval of the Amalgamation Agreement.
Holders, in person or by proxy, representing 14,919 shares abstained from the   
vote. AAP filed documents evidencing the Amalgamation with the Registrars of    
Companies in Bermuda on April 27, 2000, and as a result, the Amalgamation became
effective on that date. Each share of AAP common stock that was issued and      
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amalgamation, other  
than those shares owned by New AAP or Apple Hold Co., was exchanged into the    
right to receive $18.00 per share in cash, in accordance with the Amalgamation  
Agreement. Letters of transmittal for shareholders to exchange their            
certificates representing shares of AAP common stock for cash will be sent to   
shareholders during the week of May 1.                                          

ITEM 6. PURPOSES OF THE TRANSACTION AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS.                     

The information set forth in Item 6 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby   
supplemented and amended as follows:                                            

As a result of the Amalgamation, the shares of AAP common stock were  
suspended and will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and the         
Australian Stock Exchange Limited. In addition, the shares of AAP common stock  
will be deregistered under the Exchange Act.                                    

ITEM 10. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY.                         

The information set forth in Item 10 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby  
supplemented and amended to incorporate by reference the information set forth  
in the Press Release issued by AAP on April 27, 2000, attached hereto as Exhibit
(a)(4).                                                                         

ITEM 16. EXHIBITS.                                                              

The information in Item 16 is hereby amended by filing the following  
exhibits:                                                                       

Item 1016(a) -- (d), (f) and (g) (Reg. M-A)                                     

                                                                [Download Table]
