The documents containing the information specified in Part I will be sent or
given to employees and/or directors of United Parcel Service, Inc. (the
"Company") as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"). In accordance with the instructions of Part I of
Form S-8, such documents will not be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") either as part of this Registration Statement or
as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities
Act. These documents and the documents incorporated by reference pursuant to
Item 3 of Part II of this Registration Statement, taken together, constitute the
prospectus as required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation Of Documents By Reference.
The following documents filed with the Commission are incorporated herein by
reference:
. the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999;
. the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated February 23, 2000; and
. the description of United Parcel Service of America, Inc.'s common stock,
$.10 par value per share, contained in Item 14 of its Registration Statement
on Form 8-A, filed with the Commission in April 1970, as updated by Item 5 of
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, and as
modified by the description of the Class A-1 common stock contained in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-83349). The Company
succeeded to the Exchange Act registration of United Parcel Service of
America, Inc. pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act.
In addition, any and all documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the termination of the offering of the
shares of common stock offered hereby shall, to the extent required by law, be
deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to
be a part hereof.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides that
all directors and officers (as well as other employees and individuals) may be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with certain specified actions, suits
or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation -- a "derivative action"),
if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful. A similar standard of care is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of an action,
and the Delaware General Corporation Law requires court approval before there
can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been
found liable to the corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law also provides that the rights conferred thereby are not exclusive of any
other right to which any person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and permits a
corporation to advance expenses to or on behalf of a person entitled to be
indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it
is determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified.
The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for
indemnification of the Company's directors and officers, but the Company's
Bylaws provide that the Company must indemnify its directors and officers to the
fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to
very limited exceptions.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from the registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the undersigned
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all

Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, on this the 5th day of
April, 2000.
