ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

On January 30, 2004, Internet America, Inc. (“Internet America”) filed a lawsuit against Gary Corona (“Corona”), one of its two directors, alleging that Internet America had learned that Corona had disseminated confidential information about Internet America to certain selected shareholders and seeking a temporary restraining order (“TRO”), temporary injunction and permanent injunction which, among other matters, would 1) enjoin Corona from disseminating confidential corporate information to Internet America shareholders, stockbrokers or any third parties, 2) enjoin Corona from taking certain actions with regard to the management rights or obligations of Internet America without board authorization and 3) order Corona to return certain corporate documents to Internet America.

The lawsuit was filed in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, 298^th Judicial District. The court entered the TRO on January 30, 2004, which order shall remain in place until the 14^th day after entry or until further order by the court. The court set Internet America’s application for temporary injunction for a hearing to be held on February 13, 2004.
