Item 5. Other Events.
In connection with the proposed merger between First Union Corporation
(the "Corporation") and Wachovia Corporation ("Wachovia"), on May 3, 2001, the
Corporation filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, which included, among other
things, certain audited consolidated financial information of Wachovia and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2000, and the related notes and report of
independent auditors thereto (collectively, the "Audited Financial
Information"). On July 27, 2001, Wachovia completed the sale of its consumer
credit card portfolio, and as a result of such sale Wachovia has restated the
Audited Financial Information to present the consumer credit card business as
discontinued operations (the "Restated Audited Financial Information"). The
Restated Audited Financial Information is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
