Item 5.  Other Matters.

         Prosys

         On June 2, 2000,  Actel  Corporation  ("the  Company" or  "Actel")  and
Prosys Technology,  Inc., a California corporation  ("Prosys"),  entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, pursuant to which Actel acquired Prosys by
statutory merger. As consideration, Actel paid $6.9 million, the source of which
was working capital, and issued 220,518 shares of Actel Common Stock, which were
exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the  "Securities  Act").  Additional  consideration of up to 159,795
shares of Actel Common Stock may be issued  following the achievement of certain
milestones  over the next 18 months.  Actel also assumed all options to purchase
Prosys common stock,  which became  options to purchase  294,000 shares of Actel
Common Stock.  Actel expects to file a registration  statement on Form S-8 under
the Securities Act for the shares of Actel Common Stock issuable with respect to
the assumed Prosys options within the next 45 days.

         GateField

         On  May  24,  2000,  Actel  and  GateField   Corporation,   a  Delaware
corporation  ("GateField"),  Idanta  Partners,  Ltd  ("Idanta"),  and  GateField
Acquisition  Corporation  ("Merger  Sub")  entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger.  Merger Sub is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Actel that was incorporated
solely for the purpose of  consummating  the proposed  merger of Merger Sub with
and into  GateField,  as a result of which GateField would become a wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  Actel  (the  "Merger").  In the  Merger,  Actel  would  pay cash
consideration  of $5.25 per share of GateField Common Stock not already owned by
Actel   (approximately  4.5  million  shares).   Actel  would  also  assume  all
outstanding   GateField  stock  options.   The  merger  is  subject  to  several
conditions, including approval by GateField's stockholders at a special meeting.

         On May 31, 2000, GateField,  Actel, Idanta, and Merger Sub entered into
an Amended and Restated  Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger  Agreement").
Under the Merger  Agreement,  Idanta and Actel are required to vote all of their
shares of  GateField  Common  Stock for  approval  of the  Merger,  which in the
aggregate represent  approximately 34.6% of the shares of GateField Common Stock
outstanding.
