ITEM 5. Other Events
On August 25, 2000 the Board of Directors of Electronic Transmission
Corporation (the "Registrant") voted to remove Robert Fortier from the position
as Chairman of the Board and place him on administrative leave from his duties
as chief executive officer. Mr. Fortier will continue his membership on the
Board. On September 12, 2000, pursuant to Board of Director action on September
7, 2000, the Registrant notified Mr. Fortier that it considered his employment
contract void, and, that in any event, his employment was terminated for cause.
On September 11, 2000 the Company filed suit in the 96th Judicial District
Court of Tarrant County, Texas (Civil File No. 96-184499-00) against Mr. Fortier
alleging among other things, that Mr. Fortier made misrepresentations regarding
the financial condition and business prospects of Health Plan Initiatives, a
company he owned, when the Registrant acquired that company effective January
31, 1999. The Company is seeking a return of the approximate 3.7 millions shares
issued to Mr. Fortier as consideration in that transaction and the recovery of
compensation paid Mr. Fortier.
Effective August 31, 2000 Richard Hershey and Duncan McDonald resigned from
the Board of Directors. Messrs. Hershey and McDonald each cited increased
personal and professional demands and conflicts on their time that led to their
decisions.
