ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
As previously announced, Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") will
distribute 100% of the stock of a new company incorporating its
individual membership segment and its loyalty business to
Cendant's CD common stockholders in a tax free spin-off. Cendant
expects the process, which includes formation of the company,
registration of its shares, and distribution of the shares to
shareholders, to be completed by mid-2001. In connection with the
planned spin-off, the account balances and activities of
Cendant's individual membership segment were segregated and
reported as a discontinued operation for financial reporting
purposes. This filing is being provided to reflect the individual
membership segment as a discontinued operation in the Company's
consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1999 and 1998
and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1999 (see Exhibit 99.1).
