AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO
SCHEDULE 13D
RELATING TO THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK OF
POLO RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION
GS Capital Partners, L.P. ("GS Capital"), Stone Street Fund 1994, L.P.
("Stone Street"), Bridge Street Fund 1994, L.P. ("Bridge Street" and together
with GS Capital and Stone Street, the "Limited Partnerships"), GS Advisors,
L.L.C. ("GS Advisors"), Stone Street 1994, L.L.C. ("Stone GP"), Goldman, Sachs &
Co. ("Goldman Sachs") and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group" and,
together with Goldman Sachs, GS Advisors, Stone GP and the Limited Partnerships,
the "Filing Persons")/1/ hereby amend this statement on Schedule 13D filed with
respect to the Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Class A
Common Stock"), of Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), as most recently amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed April 23,
1998 (as amended, the "Schedule 13D"). Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed,
for purposes of this Statement, to beneficially own shares of Class A Common
Stock through the Limited Partnerships. The Limited Partnerships own shares of
Class C Common Stock which is convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock.
Goldman Sachs and GS Group each disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of
Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Limited Partnerships to the
extent of partnership interests in the Limited Partnerships held by persons
other than Goldman Sachs, GS Group or their affiliates. In addition, Goldman
Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own shares of Class A Common
Stock held in client accounts with respect to which Goldman Sachs or employees
of Goldman Sachs have voting or investment discretion, or both ("Managed
Accounts"). Goldman Sachs and GS Group disclaim beneficial ownership of the
shares of Class A Common Stock held in Managed Accounts. Goldman Sachs and GS
Group may also be deemed to beneficially own from time to time shares acquired
in ordinary course trading activities by Goldman Sachs. Unless otherwise
indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same
meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to report an increase in the percentage
of the outstanding Class A Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially
owned by the Filing Persons, which change was solely as a result of a decrease
in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reported to be outstanding by
the Company.
- ------------------
/1/ Neither the present filing nor anything contained herein shall be
construed as an admission that any Filing Person constitutes a "person" for any
purposes other than Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

SCHEDULE III
------------
On April 6, 2000, in connection with an industry-wide investigation by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to the pricing of
government securities in advance refunding transactions, Goldman, Sachs & Co.
(the "Firm") joined in a global settlement resolving the SEC investigation as
well as a related qui tam lawsuit purportedly brought on behalf of the United
States entitled United States ex rel. Lissack v. Goldman, Sachs & Co., et al.,
95 Civ. 1363 (S.D.N.Y.)(BSJ). Pursuant to the settlement, without admitting or
denying the findings, the Firm consented to the issuance of an SEC
administrative order (SEA Rel. No. 42640) which, among other things, found that
the Firm had violated Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933 in
connection with such pricing of government securities, required the Firm to
cease and desist from violating such provisions, and ordered the Firm to make
payments totaling approximately $5.1 Million to the U.S. Treasury and $104,000
to two municipalities. Under the global settlement, the qui tam lawsuit was
dismissed with prejudice, and the Internal Revenue Service agreed not to
challenge the tax-free nature of the refundings by virtue of the pricing of such
securities.
