  Item 1.  Changes in Control of Registrant.
  
       (b)  On June 19, 2000, Blaze Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation
  ("Blaze") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement")
  with Brokat Infosystems AG, a company organized under the laws of Germany
  ("Brokat"), pursuant to which Brokat has agreed to acquire Blaze (the
  "Acquisition").  A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit
  2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Acquisition will be effected
  through the issuance of the ADS equivalent of 0.1826 of a Brokat ordinary share
  in exchange for each share of Blaze common stock.  To acquire Blaze, Brokat will
  issue approximately 4.9 million ordinary shares in the form of ADSs in exchange
  for all outstanding shares of Blaze common stock.  Based on Brokat's closing
  price of Euros 119.80 on the Neuer Markt on June 19, 2000, the acquisition is
  valued at 585.9 million Euros or US$560.5 million. The amount of such
  consideration was determined based upon arm's-length negotiations between Brokat
  and Blaze.  The Merger Agreement also provides for the payment by Blaze to
  Brokat under certain circumstances of a fee of $20 million in the event the
  Merger Agreement is terminated. The companies anticipate that the closing will
  occur at the end of September.
  
       The Acquisition is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under
  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The consummation of the
  Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including
  certain regulatory approvals and the approval of the stockholders of Blaze.  In
  connection with the Acquisition, certain affiliates of Blaze have agreed to vote
  in favor of approval of the Acquisition pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement
  attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2.
  
  
       A copy of the press release announcing the Merger Agreement is attached
  hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
  
       This document contains statements that constitute forward-looking
  statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform
  Act of 1955. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical
  information or statements of current condition. These statements include
  statements concerning the parties' intent, belief or current expectations
  regarding future events, and they appear in Item 1 of this document regarding
  the transaction and its expected tax-free status and in the exhibits to this
  document regarding the above and other transactions to which the parties may
  be a party; competition in the industry; changing technology and future demand
  for products; changes in business strategy or development plans; ability to
  attract and retain qualified personnel; worldwide economic and business
  conditions; regulatory, legislative and judicial developments; financing
  plans; and trends affecting the parties' financial condition or results of
  operations. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
  performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ
  materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various
  factors, including but not limited to any failure for conditions to the merger
  to be satisfied or the merger itself to be consummated; changes in economic,
  market or business conditions; and tax considerations. Although Brokat's and
  Blaze's believe their respective expectations reflected in any such forward-
  looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions they can give no
  assurance that those expectations will be achieved.
