amended on August 2, 4, 9 and 12, 2005 (as amended, the "Registration
Statement").

         On August 18, 2005, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment
option to purchase an additional 4,350,000 shares of Common Stock from Nalco
LLC. The closing of such sale occurred on August 22, 2005.

         The 19,767,140 shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by
the Blackstone Funds in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D reflect the
Blackstone Funds' percentage interest in the 57,202,258 shares of Common Stock
held of record by Nalco LLC, based on the Blackstone Funds' combined percentage
economic interest in Nalco LLC, and excludes the balance of such shares which
represent the other Sponsors' and management members' percentage interest in
Nalco LLC. The shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by BMA and the
Founding Members include the shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned
by the Blackstone Funds. Because voting and dispositive decisions of Nalco LLC
with respect to the Common Stock require the approval of at least two of the
Sponsors, the Blackstone Funds, BMA and the Founding Members each disclaim
beneficial ownership of the Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Nalco
LLC or any of the other Sponsors, and the filing of this Amendment No. 2 to
Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is the
beneficial owner of any such securities.



         (a) See the information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment
No. 2 to Schedule 13D, which is incorporated herein by reference. The percentage
of the class beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based on 141,663,369
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, as reported by the Issuer in the
Registration Statement.

         (b) See the information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment
No. 2 to Schedule 13D, which is incorporated herein by reference.

         (c) Except for the information set forth herein, or incorporated by
reference herein, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction
relating to the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

         (d) In accordance with the terms of the Nalco LLC Limited Liability
Company Operating Agreement and, if approved by the board of directors of Nalco
LLC, the members of Nalco LLC have the right to receive dividends from and the
proceeds from any sale of Common Stock in accordance with their membership
interests in Nalco LLC.

         (e) Not applicable.




                                    SIGNATURE

         After reasonable inquiry and to the best knowledge and belief of each

forth in this statement with respect to such person is true, complete and
correct.
