ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On February 2, 2000, Bentley International, Inc. (the "Corporation")
made an initial distribution of $1.55 per share to shareholders of record as of
November 5, 1999, pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation approved by the
shareholders on September 27, 1999. The Corporation will be completely
liquidated as soon as possible following payment of all liabilities of the
Corporation. Management plans that the Articles of Dissolution filed with the
Secretary of State of Missouri, effective November 5, 1999, will not be revoked
as permitted for 120 days after the effective date under Missouri law. As
previously reported on a Form 8-K of the Corporation dated October 12, 1999, the
Board of Directors authorized the officers of the Corporation to file Articles
of Dissolution with respect to the Corporation with the Secretary of State of
Missouri with an effective date of November 5, 1999 and in connection with such
dissolution directed that the share transfer books of the Corporation be closed
on November 5, 1999.
Note: This Form 8-K contains certain forward looking statements of the type
described in the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as the planned liquidation and
dissolution of the Corporation. The results of management's plans are
beyond the ability of the Company to control. Economic conditions,
investment performance, the resolution of litigation and other factors
could cause materially different results from those planned by
management.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the Registrant has duly caused this Form 8-K to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
