Item 5. Other Events.
------------
On December 10, 1999, the board of directors of AFC Enterprises, Inc. adopted
new reporting quarters beginning in fiscal year 2000. First quarter of the
fiscal year will now be based upon one sixteen-week period followed by three
twelve-week periods. This is a change from the previous reporting method of
three twelve-week periods for the first three quarters of the fiscal year
followed by one sixteen-week period. The Company's 52/53-week fiscal year ending
on the last Sunday in December remains unchanged. Due to this change, the
Company's first reporting period for 2000 will be for the sixteen-week period
ending April 16.
