REALLOCATION

        On July 8, 1994, Nash-Finch Company ("Nash Finch") registered, on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File Number 33-54487), 645,296 shares its common stock for issuance under the Nash Finch 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1994 Plan"). The 1994 Plan was terminated effective May 9, 2000. As a result of that termination, no further equity incentive awards were made under the 1994 Plan, but equity incentive awards that were outstanding under the 1994 Plan as of May 9, 2000 would remain outstanding until they expired or were terminated in accordance with their respective terms.

        Pursuant to the terms of the Nash Finch 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2000 Plan") approved by the Nash Finch Board of Directors and stockholders during 2000, shares that were reserved for issuance under the 1994 Plan but were neither issued nor the subject of outstanding awards as of May 9, 2000, together with shares that were the subject of outstanding awards under the 1994 Plan as of May 9, 2000 but were subsequently forfeited, became available for issuance pursuant to the 2000 Plan. On December 8, 2000, Nash Finch filed a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to this Registration Statement indicating that 53,279 shares of common stock that had been reserved for issuance under the 1994 Plan had been reallocated to the 2000 Plan, and filed a new Form S-8 Registration Statement (File No. 333-51508) to re-register those shares under the 2000 Plan. Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to this Registration Statement is being filed to evidence the reallocation to the 2000 Plan of an additional 427,098 shares of common stock which had been reserved for issuance under the 1994 Plan. A new Form S-8 Registration Statement will be filed to re-register those shares under the 2000 Plan.
