ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On November 17, 2000, Coram Healthcare Corporation and Coram, Inc.,
(collectively the "Debtors") reached a preliminary agreement to settle certain
claims with two of their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are subject to
separate Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings before the United States Bankruptcy
Court, Coram Resource Network, Inc., and Coram Independent Practice Association,
(collectively, the "R-Net Subsidiaries"). The agreement was approved by both the
Debtors' and the R-Net Subsidiaries' bankruptcy estates and the Bankruptcy Court
judge overseeing the proceedings. In connection with the finalization of the
agreement, the Debtors paid $500,000 to the R-Net Subsidiaries in January 2001
in order to, among other things, cause the withdrawal of the R-Net Subsidiaries'
substantive consolidation motion from the Debtors' bankruptcy proceedings. For
further details, a copy of the related settlement agreement is attached hereto
as Exhibit 10.1.
