ITEM 5: OTHER EVENTS.
On March 5, 2001, Macromedia, Inc. and Allaire Corporation issued a joint press
release announcing that they had been granted early termination of the waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act. The companies now
expect to close their pending merger on or shortly after March 20, 2001,
assuming approval of the merger by Allaire stockholders at a special meeting to
be held on March 20, 2001. Macromedia also announced that it expects the
weakness in the overall economy to impact the short term results of both
companies, and consequently downgraded its projected revenues for the quarter.
