Item 5.         Other Events

Termination of MMI CD-ROM Agreement

In April 1994,  Nimbus CD International,  Inc. (the "Company")  entered into the
Donnelley  CD-ROM  Agreement with R.R.  Donnelley & Sons Company  ("Donnelley"),
whereby the Company established a multiline compact disc manufacturing  facility
in Provo, Utah,  requiring capital  expenditures of approximately $13 million by
the Company.  In April 1995,  as permitted by the  Donnelley  CD-ROM  Agreement,
Donnelley  assigned  substantially all of its rights in, and obligations  under,
the Donnelley CD-ROM Agreement to Stream International,  Inc., formerly known as
Stream International  Holdings, Inc. ("Stream") (as assigned, the "Stream CD-ROM
Agreement").  Effective  April 1, 1997, the Company entered into a new agreement
with Stream that terminated the Stream CD-ROM  Agreement and increased  Stream's
commitment  to purchase  27.5 million  discs during fiscal 1998 and 20.6 million
discs for the first nine months of fiscal 1999.  The  agreement was scheduled to
terminate December 31, 1998, and was originally subject to reductions based upon
changes in the cost of manufacturing for CD-ROM discs.

In December 1997, as permitted by the Stream CD-ROM  Agreement,  Stream assigned
substantially  all of its rights in, and  obligations  under,  the Stream CD-ROM
Agreement to Modus Media  International,  Inc.  ("MMI") (as  assigned,  the "MMI
CD-ROM  Agreement").  Since that time, the Company and MMI have determined that,
in  furtherance  of their mutual best  interests,  they would  terminate the MMI
CD-ROM Agreement effective March 31, 1998, and would enter into a mutual release
of any and all claims  arising from the  Agreement,  the  business  relationship
between the Company and MMI, or both.
