Item 5. Other Events

On September 27, 2001, Sage, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Sage"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") by and between Genesis Microchip Incorporated, a Nova Scotia corporation (the "Genesis") and Sage. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following a change in the legal domicile of Genesis to the United States, a subsidiary of Genesis will be merged with and into Sage with Sage continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Sage will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.571 of a validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Genesis. The consummation of the Merger is subject to the completion of the change in the legal domicile of Genesis to the United States, the approval of the stockholders of Sage and Genesis, receipt of necessary approvals under United States and applicable foreign antitrust laws, SEC clearance and other customary closing conditions. The Merger is intended to be a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On September 28, 2001, Sage and Genesis issued a joint press release announcing that Sage and Genesis had entered into the Merger Agreement. The joint press release is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
