Item 5. Other Events.

     On January 24, 2000, 8x8, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with STMicroelectronics NV ("STM") for the private sale of 3,700,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to STM at a purchase price of $7.50 per share. The closing is subject to certain conditions including the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott- Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended. At the closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Company and STM will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement granting STM certain registration rights. In addition, the Company has agreed to appoint a designee of STM to the Company's Board of Directors effective as of the closing. STM will maintain its right to a board seat as long as it holds at least 10% of the Company's outstanding shares.

     Following the closing STM will have certain rights to maintain its percentage ownership interest of the Company's outstanding voting securities. During the first year following the closing, STM will have the right to obtain additional shares through market purchases, provided, however that its total percentage ownership of the outstanding voting stock of the Company shall not exceed 19.9%. STM will also have certain rights to participate in future securities offerings of the Company, or in certain circumstances the right to purchase additional shares through market purchases to maintain its percentage ownership. The Company will also grant a non-exclusive license to certain technology and undertake certain joint development activities with a subsidiary of STM.
