Item 5.  Other Events

Lucent Technologies Inc. ("Lucent" or the "Company") previously announced a
plan to spin-off its PBX, SYSTIMAX(R) structured cabling and LAN-based data
businesses to its shareowners, forming a separate company named Avaya Inc. that
will focus directly and independently on the enterprise networking market.
The spin off is expected to be completed by the close of the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000, which ends on September 30, 2000 and is expected to be
accomplished through a tax-free distribution of shares to Lucent shareowners.

The accompanying pro forma financial statements reflect the treatment of the
enterprise networks business as discontinued operations and were prepared
consistent with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 "Reporting the
Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions" ("APB 30"). The revenues, costs and expenses and assets and
liabilities of the enterprise networks business to be spun off have been
segregated in the accompanying pro forma Consolidated Statements of Income and
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net operating results and net assets of this
business have been reported as "Discontinued Operations" in the accompanying pro
forma financial statements.

The discontinued operations financial information presented by Lucent will
differ from the information reported by the enterprise networks business because
of different assumptions and allocations required to be made by the two
companies.

The Company's pro forma Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months
ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 and the three years ended September 30,
1999, 1998 and 1997 and pro forma Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2000
and September 30, 1999 prepared consistent with APB 30 follow.
