ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

     On  September  26, 2000,  General  Motors  Corporation  (GM) issued a press
release   announcing   that  Covisint   received   clearance   from  the  German
Bundeskartellamt  and  Covisint has now  received  all  necessary  pre-formation
regulatory clearances and can begin operations. The release is as follows:

Covisint Receives Bundeskartellamt Clearance; Automotive Business-To-Business
Exchange To Launch Within 30 Days

DETROIT--Covisint today announced that the German Bundeskartellamt has concluded
its comprehensive  investigation,  opening the way for the automotive industry's
planned business-to-business trading exchange to become operational

As Covisint  planning leaders  expected,  the  Bundeskartellamt's  review of the
initiative  was very  comprehensive,  and its  completion  echoes the  clearance
recently received from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Covisint has now
received  all  necessary  pre-formation  regulatory  clearances  and  can  begin
operations.

"Covisint is now cleared to  transform  itself from a planning  initiative  to a
company," said Peter Weiss, Covisint Executive Planning Team and DaimlerChrysler
Lead. "It will establish a corporate identity,  begin hiring permanent employees
and of course, open trade on the exchange between customers.  You can expect the
exchange to go live soon."

Weiss added, "News of the clearance has excited everyone involved in the effort.
Covisint is now days away from history. The completion of the Bundeskartellamt's
review  sets the stage for  launching  what  promises  to be one of the  world's
largest e-business trading exchanges."
