Item 5. OTHER EVENTS.
(a) MERGER. On September 26, 1994, EquiCredit Corporation (the "Company")
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with
Barnett Banks, Inc. ("Barnett Banks") and a Delaware corporation to be formed as
wholly-owned subsidiary of Barnett Banks (the "Merger Subsidiary"). The
transaction was consummated on January 27, 1995.
(b) On August 15, 1996, (the "August Remittance Date") a scheduled
distribution was made from EQCC Home Equity Loan Trust 1996-2 to holders of
Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class
A-4 Certificates and Class A-5 Certificates. The information contained in the
Trustee's Remittance Report in respect of the August Remittance Date, attached
hereto as Exhibit 99, is hereby incorporated by reference.
(c) On February 19, 1996, a class action complaint was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by Elizabeth D. Washington
on behalf of herself and others similarly situated, against EquiCredit
Corporation of Ga., an affiliate of EquiCredit Corporation of America.
Plaintiff purports to represent a class (the "Class") consisting of all persons
who obtained "federally regulated mortgage loans" from February 16, 1995 to
February 16, 1996 on which a fee or yield spread premium ("YSP") was paid to a
mortgage broker. The action is brought pursuant to the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act ("RESPA") alleging that EquiCredit violated RESPA by paying a YSP
to Funding Center of Georgia, Inc. ("FCG"), failing to disclose such YSP on the
Good Faith Estimate of settlement costs, and failing to provide a Good Faith
Estimate and HUD "Special Information Booklet" within three days of receipt of
loan application. Plaintiff seeks judgment equal to three times the amount of
all YSP paid by EquiCredit to FCG and other brokers, as well as court costs and
litigation expenses, attorney fees and such other relief which may be granted by
the court. Management of EquiCredit denies that the Company has violated any
law, rule, or regulation as asserted in the Plaintiff's Complaint and intends to
vigorously contest this action. Depostition of John T. Hayt was taken by
Plaintiff's attorney June 25, 1996. Deposition of Plaintiff was taken by
EquiCredit August 22, 1996. Plaintiff has filed motion for class certification.
EquiCredit is preparing to file opposition to motion for class certification.
