ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
As of December 27, 1995, the registrant entered into a merger agreement
(the "Merger Agreement") by and among itself, NAC Transco, Inc. ("Transco") and
National Auto Credit, Inc. (now known as ARAC, Inc.) ("Old NAC") effecting a
restructuring of the registrant into a holding company by merging Transco with
and into Old NAC in accordance with 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the "Merger"). Prior to the merger the registrant, now known as National
Auto Credit, Inc. (formerly known as New NAC, Inc.), was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Old NAC and Transco was a wholly owned subsidiary of the
registrant. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all issued shares of common stock,
$.05 par value, of Old NAC were automatically converted into shares of common
stock, $.05 par value, of the registrant and the stockholders of Old NAC
automatically became the stockholders of the registrant, with the same
proportionate interests and voting rights as such stockholders had as
stockholders of Old NAC. The merger Agreement was filed with the Secretary of
State of the state of Delaware, and the Merger became effective, on December 27,
1995. The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99 hereto. A technical
original listing application was filed with the New York Stock Exchange on
December 27, 1995 and shares of the registrant's common stock, $.05 par value,
commenced trading on the New York Stock exchange on December 28, 1995 under the
symbol "NAK".
