Item 5. Other Events.

On March 27, 2001, Infonautics, Inc. ("Infonautics"), Tucows Inc. ("Tucows"), and TAC Acquisition Corp. ("TAC") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger to be accomplished by the formation of TAC as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infonautics and the merger of TAC into Tucows, with Tucows being the surviving corporation. After completion of the merger, Tucows will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infonautics. In consideration of the merger, Infonautics will issue approximately 50 million shares of its Class A common stock to the Tucows shareholders who will own roughly 80% of the merged company at the closing of the merger. Upon completion of the merger, which is subject to Infonautics and Tucows shareholder approval, certain regulatory approvals, and certain other closing conditions, Infonautics will remain a public company and is expected to adopt the Tucows name. The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2001.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 10.1.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
