Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
----------------------------------------------

         On December 31, 2000, J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J.P. Morgan")
merged with and into The Chase Manhattan Corporation ("Chase"). Upon completion
of the merger, Chase changed its name to "J.P. Morgan Chase & Co." As a result
of the merger, each outstanding share of common stock of J.P. Morgan was
converted into 3.7 shares of common stock of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and each
outstanding share of preferred stock of J.P. Morgan was converted into a share
of preferred stock of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. having substantially the same
rights, powers and preferences as the J.P. Morgan preferred stock. A copy of the
press release announcing the completion of the merger is filed as an exhibit
hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.  Other Events.
----------------------

         The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. As a result,
financial information following completion of the merger will present the
combined results of Chase and J.P. Morgan as if the merger had been in effect
for all periods presented. For informational purposes, we have attached as
exhibits hereto pro forma combined financial data for Chase and J.P. Morgan for
specified quarterly periods prior to the merger. This historical financial
information does not reflect the anticipated merger-related charge of $1.2
billion to be taken at December 31, 2000, nor the cancellation and retirement of
all remaining shares of J.P. Morgan's treasury stock, at the time of the merger.
