Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of December
21, 2000 (the "Agreement"), by and among Tut Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), ActiveTelco Incorporated, a California corporation
("ActiveTelco"), ActiveTelco Acquisition Corporation, a California corporation
(the "Acquisition Sub"), and, with respect to Article VII only, Azeem Butt, as
shareholder representative, and U.S. Bank Trust, as escrow agent, on January 11,
2001 (the "Closing"), the Company acquired ActiveTelco by means of a merger of
ActiveTelco with and into the Acquisition Sub (the "Merger"). As a result of the
Merger, each share of ActiveTelco capital stock was converted into 0.0425958
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Company
Common Stock"), and each option to purchase one share of ActiveTelco capital
stock was exchanged for an option to purchase 0.0425958 shares of the Company
Common Stock. At the Closing, ten percent of the shares issued pursuant to the
Agreement were deposited into an escrow account to secure certain
indemnification obligations of ActiveTelco and its former shareholders under the
