Item 5. Other Events.
On July 26, 1996, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia, entitled Choices Entertainment
---------------------
Corporation v. Carl Shaifer et al., Civil Action No. 1:96-CV-01753, seeking
- - - ----------------------------------
declaratory and injunctive relief against a group of shareholders of the Company
(the "Shareholder Group") for alleged violations of the federal securities laws.
The Shareholder Group filed a Solicitation Statement (the "Solicitation
Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 1996, in
connection with the Shareholder Group's solicitation of written consents from
other shareholders for the purpose of removing and replacing the Board of
Directors of the Company without the holding of a meeting.
The Company believes that the Solicitation Statement contains material
misleading statements and omissions of material facts, including the failure to
disclose serious conflicts of interests of the Shareholder Group and of their
director nominees to the Board, that the Shareholder Group has failed to file a
Schedule 13D in accordance with the requirements of the federal securities laws,
and that any consents obtained by the Shareholder Group will have been obtained
in violation of such laws and are invalid.
On July 29, 1996, the Shareholders Group delivered written consents to
the Company, which the Shareholder Group has asserted are sufficient to remove
and replace the Company's present Board of Directors with the nominees of the
Shareholder Group, and such nominees have attempted to assert control and to
terminate the employment of existing management. The Company considers the
consents to be invalid and, therefore, has not recognized the actions purported
to have been taken.
The Company has determined to hold an annual meeting of shareholders
on December 20, 1996, for the election of directors and for action upon such
other matters as shall be determined.
