Item 5. Other Events

         On  January   21,   1997,   The  Chase   Manhattan   Corporation   (the
"Corporation")  reported that net income for full year 1996 was $3.586  billion,
excluding  merger-related  restructuring costs, and was $2.461 billion including
merger-related costs. Net income in the fourth quarter of 1996 was $901 million,
excluding  merger-related  restructuring  costs, and was $836 million  including
merger-related costs.

         Also on January 21,  1997,  the  Corporation  announced  that Edward D.
Miller,  Senior  Vice  Chairman,  will  retire  on April 1, and that  Thomas  G.
Labrecque, President and Chief Operating Officer, would assume leadership of the
Corporation's  regional  banking and nationwide  consumer  businesses as well as
information technology, operations and administration at the Corporation.

         In  connection  with  reporting  its 1996  year-end and fourth  quarter
results,  management of the Corporation stated that (i) it currently expects the
Corporation to realize annual revenue growth,  on an "operating basis" (that is,
on  a  basis  that  excludes   special   one-time   items  and  the  effects  of
securitizations),  of  approximately  6%-8% in 1997,  and (ii) it  continued  to
target as financial  goals for the Corporation  double digit operating  earnings
per share growth in each of 1997 and 1998, a return on average  common equity of
18% or higher  by 1998,  and an  efficiency  ratio in the low 50% range by 1998.
With respect to expenses,  management  indicated that the "underlying  operating
noninterest  expense" of the Corporation (that is, noninterest expense excluding
merger-related costs, foreclosed property expense, minority interest expense and
non-recurring  items and before the effects of any merger-related  cost savings)
is  expected  be  approximately  5%-6%  higher  in  1997  than  it was in  1996.
Management  stated  that it  maintained  its belief that the  Corporation  would
realize annual  merger-related cost savings of approximately $1.2 billion by the
end of 1997 and $1.7 billion by the end of 1998.

         With respect to credit quality,  management indicated that it continued
to believe that the credit quality of the Corporation's  overall  commercial and
industrial  portfolio would remain  relatively  stable in 1997; that it expected
the  Corporation to continue over the year to take provisions that were equal to
net charge-offs; that, primarily as a result of growth in consumer loans, higher
delinquencies in credit card loans and lower recoveries in commercial loans, the
total  provision in 1997 would be higher than in 1996;  and that,  specifically,
with respect to the Corporation's credit card portfolio, it expected credit card
net charge-offs,  as a percentage of average managed credit card receivables, to
increase modestly in 1997.

         Finally, with respect to the Corporation's capital policies, management
of the  Corporation  noted that the  Corporation had purchased $1 billion of its
common equity during the fourth quarter of 1996.  Management  stated that it now
expected to purchase equity on a more  accelerated time schedule than previously
thought, and that therefore it was likely that the previously-announced buy-back
program would be completed more quickly than previously anticipated.  Management
reiterated its  disciplined  approach to the use of the  Corporation's  capital,
indicating  that its current  expectation  is that the Board of Directors of the
Corporation would review the dividend on the  Corporation's  common stock in the
normal course in March 1997 and that management  currently  anticipates that the
dividend  policy of the  Corporation  would  continue to be  generally  to pay a
common stock dividend equal to approximately  25%-35% of the  Corporation's  net
income (excluding restructuring costs) and less preferred stock dividends.

Chase's Operating EPS Up 22 percent for 1996 and 9 Percent in the Fourth Quarter

    New York, January 21, 1997 -- The Chase Manhattan Corporation today reported
that net income for the full year, before  merger-related  restructuring  costs,
rose 20 percent to $3.586  billion  from $2.979  billion.  Primary  earnings per
share for the year rose to $7.54 per share from $6.25 and fully diluted earnings
per share rose 22 percent to $7.43 from $6.09 in 1995.

     Net  income in the fourth  quarter of 1996,  before  merger  costs, rose 9
percent to $901 million from $827 million in the fourth  quarter  1995.  Primary
earnings per share were $1.89  compared with $1.73;  fully diluted  earnings per
share were $1.88 compared with $1.73 in the year-ago quarter.

 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
 --------------------
  - Operating  revenue on a managed basis grew 5 percent when compared with the
    strong 1995 fourth quarter and 9 percent for the year,  exceeding Chase's 5
    to 7 percent  target  range;  
  - Expenses  declined 3 percent in the  quarter,   resulting  in a one percent
    decline for the year;  Merger  savings of $235  million for the quarter led
    to annual  savings of $555  million,  above the original  target;
  - The provision for credit losses was $182 million for the   quarter and $897
    million for the year,  reflecting  continued  strong asset  quality; 
  - The Corporation repurchased $1 billion of its common equity during  the 
    quarter under the terms of a stock buyback plan announced in October.

    "Led by strong earnings across the full breadth of our businesses, Chase had
an  excellent  year and  quarter,"  said Walter V.  Shipley,  chairman and chief
executive  officer.  "The  Corporation  exceeded  1996  performance  goals while
executing  the  merger  integration  and  putting  in  place a  superior  set of
franchises for long term growth."

    Including  merger-related  costs,  net  income  for the full year was $2.461
billion  compared with $2.959 billion for 1995.  Primary earnings per share were
$5.02 compared with $6.20 in 1995;  fully diluted  earnings per share were $4.94
and $6.04,  in 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Fourth  quarter  1996 net  income,
including  merger  costs,  was $836  million  compared  with $827 million in the
year-ago  quarter.  Primary earnings per share were $1.74 versus $1.73 and fully
diluted  earnings  per share were $1.74 and $1.73,  in the 1996 and 1995  fourth
quarters, respectively.

    The corporation's return on average common stockholders'  equity,  excluding
merger costs, for the 1996 full year was 18.7 percent compared with 16.3 percent
in 1995;  return on average common  stockholders'  equity for the fourth quarter
was  18.1  percent  compared  to  17.3  percent  in the  year-ago  quarter.  The
efficiency  ratio for the full year  stood at 59  percent  versus 63  percent in
1995.

REVENUES
- --------

    Total  revenue for the year rose 6 percent to $15,852  million  from $14,960

revenue  for the year rose 9 percent to $16,431  million.  Total  revenue in the
1996 fourth  quarter was $3,938  million  versus $3,843 million in the same 1995
period.  On an  operating  basis,  total  revenue in the latest  quarter  rose 5
percent to $4,100 million.

    Net interest  income in the 1996 fourth quarter was $2,082 million  compared
with  $2,078  million in the fourth  quarter of 1995.  Average  interest-earning
assets  were $268.5  billion,  compared  with  $253.7  billion in the prior year
quarter.  The net yield on average  interest-earning  assets was 3.10 percent in
the 1996 fourth  quarter  compared  with 3.27  percent in the fourth  quarter of
1995.  These  results  were  affected by an increase  in average  consumer  loan
securitizations  of  approximately  $6.3  billion  from the 1995 fourth  quarter
level.  Including  securitizations,  the net yield on  average  interest-earning
assets was 3.35 percent in the 1996 fourth quarter compared with 3.39 percent in
the 1995 quarter.

    Total  noninterest  revenue was $1,856  million in the 1996  fourth  quarter

  Fees related to credit  cards were $320 million  compared to $246 million in
the fourth quarter of 1995, reflecting the growth in average receivables as well
as the effect of  securitizations.  Corporate  finance and syndication fees were
$213 million  compared with $220 million in the 1995 fourth quarter,  reflecting
continued  strong  activity in this area.  Trust and investment  management fees
rose to $294 million in the fourth quarter of 1996 from $277 million, reflecting
a higher level of assets under management,  including the Vista mutual funds and
growth in Chase's global services and securities processing activities.

    Revenues from equity-related  investments totaled $172 million in the fourth
quarter of 1996, compared with $131 million in the same quarter of 1995.

noninterest  expenses in the 1996 fourth quarter were $2,304 million, a decrease
of 3.2 percent from $2,379  million in the fourth  quarter of 1995, and declined
1.1  percent to $9,346  million  from $9,450  million for the full year.  Merger
savings for the fourth quarter were $235 million,  bringing savings for the full
year to $555 million.

    Fourth  quarter  and full year  1996  expenses  included  first  time  costs
associated  with the launch of Chase's new co-branded  credit card with Wal-Mart
($44  million)  and  minority   interest   costs   related  to   recently-issued
REIT/Preferred securities ($13 million).

    The total number of employees  was 67,785 at December 31, 1996 compared with
72,696 at December 31, 1995.

    Merger-related expenses in the fourth quarter of 1996 were $104 million.

CREDIT COSTS
- ------------

    The  provision  for  credit  losses in the  fourth  quarter of 1996 was $182
million and $186 million in the fourth quarter of 1995,  equal to charge-offs in
both periods. The provision for credit losses for the full year was $897 million
in 1996 and $758 million in 1995.

    Total commercial net recoveries were $22 million in both the fourth quarters
of 1996 and 1995. Total consumer net charge-offs in the fourth quarter were $212
million, of which credit card charge-offs,  on retained  receivables,  accounted
for $156 million.  Total consumer net  charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 1995
were  $214  million,   of  which  credit  card  net  charge-offs,   on  retained
receivables, were $172 million.

    Credit card net  charge-offs  on a managed basis were $311 million,  or 5.11
percent of average managed  receivables in the fourth quarter compared with $238
million or 4.18 percent of average managed  receivables in the fourth quarter of
1995, reflecting growth in receivables of 7 percent, year-over-year,  and higher

                 Senior Vice Chairman Miller to Retire in April

           NEW  YORK,  January  21,  1997  -- The  Chase  Manhattan  Corporation
announced  today that Edward D. Miller,  senior vice chairman,  will retire from
the company on April 1 to pursue a second career.

           In announcing Mr. Miller's plans, Walter V. Shipley, chairman and 
chief executive officer, said:

           "Ed Miller has been an  invaluable  employee of this  company and its
predecessor  institutions for more than 35 years. He was central in implementing
both the Chemical-Manufacturers Hanover and Chase-Chemical mergers. He built our
regional and national  consumer bank into a true powerhouse and positioned us in
the forefront of  technological  advances.  I obviously  want him to stay, but I
have to respect his wish,  expressed to me over time,  to choose a second career
while he was still in his mid  fifties.  Our  highest  regard  and our warm good
wishes go with him in that endeavor."

           Mr. Miller said:

           "I've long had a desire to run something,  either in another facet of
financial  services,  the public sector or in the non-profit area. I didn't feel
comfortable  exploring those possibilities while still at the bank, so I decided
to call it a career in one field and  consider my options  while I'm  relatively
young and in good health.  With the merger  completed,  an exceptionally  strong
management team in place and a very positive outlook for the future of the bank,
this is a particularly appropriate time for me to retire. At Walter's request, I
will be  continuing  my  association  with  Chase as  chairman  of its  Regional
Advisory Board."

           Mr. Shipley said that Thomas G. Labrecque, in addition to his current
responsibilities  as  president  and  chief  operating  officer,   would  assume
day-to-day  leadership  of Chase's  regional  banking  and  nationwide  consumer
businesses as well as information technology, operations and administration.

           Mr. Miller, 56, began his banking career at Manufacturers  Hanover in
1959.  Following  service in the U.S.  Marine Corps,  he returned to the bank in
1963 as a management trainee. After building and developing numerous and diverse
business units,  including  credit cards,  consumer credit and the bank's branch
system, he was named executive vice president for retail banking in 1982.

  
           In  1988,  he  was  elected  vice  chairman  and a  director,  adding
responsibilities  for  operations,  technology,  and information and transaction
services.  Following  the  Chemical-Manufacturers  Hanover  merger in 1991,  Mr.
Miller assumed  identical titles at Chemical Banking  Corporation.  He was named
president  of the bank in 1994,  serving in that post  until the  Chemical-Chase
merger was completed and he undertook his present responsibilities.

           A graduate of Pace  University,  Mr. Miller is a director of Brooklyn
Union Gas Company and a member of the Bankers  Roundtable,  currently serving as
vice chairman of its Bankers  Information  Technology  Secretariat (BITS). He is
also on the Board of Directors of Phoenix House  Foundation  and a member of the
Executive Council of the Inner-City  Scholarship  Fund. In addition,  he is past
president and a current  member of the Board of Directors and Governing  Council
of the New York State Bankers  Association,  a trustee of Pace University and of
the New York Blood Center.
