Item 2    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
------    ------------------------------------

          On September 15, 2000, Digital Island, Inc. ("Digital Island")
completed the acquisition of SoftAware, Inc. ("SoftAware") pursuant to the terms
of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of July 17, 2000 (the
"Merger Agreement") by and among Digital Island, SoftAware and Ocean
Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital Island ("Merger Sub").
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into
SoftAware, with SoftAware surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Digital Island (the "Merger").

          In the Merger, each outstanding share of SoftAware capital stock was
converted into the right to receive 0.3692 shares of Digital Island common stock
and $0.7877 in cash. Digital Island also assumed outstanding options to acquire
SoftAware common stock and converted these into options to acquire Digital
Island common stock at the same exchange ratio used in the Merger for
outstanding SoftAware capital stock. The terms of the Merger were determined
through arms-length negotiations between Digital Island and SoftAware. The
Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The purpose of the Merger is to enhance the
combined company's reach as a provider of comprehensive network services for
global e-business applications.

          Attached and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as 99.1
is a copy of the press release dated September 15, 2000 announcing the
effectiveness of the Merger.
