ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On November 15, 2000, Intuit Inc. ("Intuit") entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger with EmployeeMatters, Inc. pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Intuit will be merged with and into EmployeeMatters and, as a result,
EmployeeMatters will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intuit.
EmployeeMatters provides human resources management services -- benefits,
insurance and Web-based payroll and tax filing -- to small and mid-sized
companies via the Internet. EmployeeMatters offers a "virtual HR department"
enabling clients to effectively manage employee administration and HR functions,
such as payroll, benefits, retirement plans, business insurance and HR
compliance. EmployeeMatters will be operated as a separate business unit,
headquarted in Stamford, Conn.
Under the terms of the agreement, Intuit will acquire EmployeeMatters in a
registered stock transaction valued at approximately $39 million, which may vary
within a 20 percent range depending on Intuit's stock price according to a
formula agreed to by both parties. The transaction has been approved by the
boards of both Intuit and EmployeeMatters and is expected to close by the end of
the second quarter of Intuit's fiscal year 2001 (January 31, 2001), subject to
various conditions, including customary regulatory and other approvals.
