ITEM 2.01  COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

     On October 1, 2005, The Procter & Gamble Company's (the "Company")
previously announced acquisition of The Gillette Company ("Gillette") became
effective. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger signed on
January 27, 2005, Aquarium Acquisition Corp., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company, merged with and into Gillette, with Gillette continuing as the
surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Procter & Gamble
Company.

     Gillette is the market leader in nearly a dozen global product categories
including blades and razors, oral care and alkaline batteries. Following the
closing of the transaction, the Company began the exchange of 0.975 shares of
the Company common stock for each share of The Gillette Company. Under the
purchase method of accounting, the total consideration will be approximately $54
billion, determined using the average Company stock prices two days before and
ending two days after January 28, 2005, the date the acquisition was announced.

     Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are attached
hereto at Exhibit 99.1 and incorporate herein by reference.

     For reference, The Procter & Gamble Company has also prepared unaudited
