Item 5. OTHER EVENTS.
(a) MERGER. On September 26, 1994, EquiCredit Corporation (the "Company")
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with
Barnett Banks, Inc. ("Barnett Banks") and a Delaware corporation to be formed as
wholly-owned subsidiary of Barnett Banks (the "Merger Subsidiary"). The
transaction was consummated on January 27, 1995.
(b) On May 15, 1996, (the "May Remittance Date") a scheduled distribution was
made from EQCC Home Equity Loan Trust 1996-1 to holders of Class A-1
Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-4
Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates, Class A-6 Certificates and Class R
Certificates. The information contained in the Trustee's Remittance Report in
respect of the May Remittance Date, attached hereto as Exhibit 99, is hereby
incorporated by reference.
(c) On February 19, 1996, a class action complaint was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by Elizabeth D. Washington
on behalf of herself and others similarly situated, against EquiCredit
Corporation of Ga., an affiliate of EquiCredit Corporation of America.
Plaintiff purports to represent a class (the "Class") consisting of all persons
who obtained "federally regulated mortgage loans" from February 16, 1995 to
February 16, 1996 on which a fee or yield spread premium ("YSP") was paid to a
mortgage broker. The action is brought pursuant to the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act ("RESPA") alleging that EquiCredit violated RESPA by paying a YSP
to Funding Center of Georgia, Inc. ("FCG"), failing to disclose such YSP on the
Good Faith Estimate of settlement costs, and failing to provide a Good Faith
Estimate and HUD "Special Information Booklet" within three days of receipt of
loan application. Plaintiff seeks judgment equal to three times the amount of
all YSP paid by EquiCredit to FCG and other brokers, as well as court costs and
litigation expenses, attorney fees and such other relief which may be granted by
the court. Management of EquiCredit denies that the Company has violated any
law, rule, or regulation as asserted in the Plaintiff's Complaint and intends to
vigorously contest this action.
