DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Owens & Minor, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the "Company"), is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to deregister certain shares of common stock and related plan participation interests originally registered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 033-32497) (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement initially registered an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $2.00 par value per share ("Common Stock") and an indeterminate amount of plan interests to be offered and sold pursuant to the Owens & Minor 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan (the "Plan").

The Plan no longer offers Common Stock as an investment option.  Accordingly, the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, pursuant to the undertakings contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any remaining shares of Common Stock and all plan interests that were registered for issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement and that remain unsold as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such Common Stock and plan interests.
