Item 5. Other Events
UK Secretary of State for Trade and Industry Requires Divestiture of Green Flag
Unit before Cendant and RAC Motoring Services Merger Can Proceed. On February 4,
1998, we announced that the UK Secretary of State for Trade and Industry had
cleared our proposed acquisition of RAC Motoring Services on the condition that
we divest our Green Flag breakdown assistance business. We do not regard that
proposed condition as reasonably acceptable or commercially feasible and
therefore it is our intention not to proceed with the acquisition of RAC
Motoring Services.
Reference is made to the press release dated February 4, 1999 attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
