ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

        On February 7, 2000, Metricom, Inc. closed a public offering of
5,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public at $87.00 per
share. The common stock offering was led by Lehman Brothers Inc. and Salomon
Smith Barney Inc., as joint book-running managers, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner and Smith Incorporated, Chase H & Q and J.P. Morgan & Co., as
co-managers. On February 9, 2000, Metricom, Inc. closed the sale of an
additional 750,000 shares of its common stock, at the same public offering price
per share, following exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment
option. The estimated aggregate net proceeds to Metricom, Inc. from the common
stock offering (including the over-allotment option), after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses was
approximately $473.2 million.

        Concurrently with the initial closing of the common stock offering of
Metricom, Inc., Metricom, Inc and Metricom Finance, Inc. closed a public
offering of $300 million principal amount of 13% senior notes due 2010 (the
"Notes") and 300,000 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,425,000 shares of
common stock of Metricom, Inc. (the "Warrants"). The Notes were sold together
with the Warrants. For each $1000 principal amount of the Notes purchased, the
holder acquired a warrant to purchase 4.75 shares of common stock of Metricom,
Inc. at an initial exercise price of $87.00 per share. The Warrants are
exercisable at any time after August 15, 2000 and, unless exercised earlier,
will expire on February 15, 2010. The offering of the Notes and Warrants was
led by Lehman Brothers Inc., as sole book-running manager, and Salomon Smith
Barney, Inc., Chase Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan & Co. and Merrill Lynch & Co.,
as co-managers. The aggregate available net proceeds from the Notes offering and
the related Warrants offering was approximately $218.7 million, after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and after depositing approximately $73.1
million in a pledge account to secure the payment of the first four scheduled
interest payments on the Notes.
