Item 5. Other Events.
Certain franchisees of Registrant's subsidiary, Weddingpages, Inc. have
commenced litigation in Supreme Court, New York County, New York against
Registrant, Weddingpages and certain officers of those companies, including
David Liu, CEO of Registrant. The plaintiffs seek to enjoin defendants from
taking actions, primarily relating to the sale of advertising in certain local
markets, which plaintiffs claim will damage the value of their Weddingpages
franchises and money damages in an unspecified amount. Registrant, Weddingpages
and the individual defendants intend to contest vigorously the allegations
which, they believe, are without merit.
