Item 5.  Other Events.

     On October 18, 2002, InfoNow Corporation (the "Company") received notice
from The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC, on behalf of Putnam Emerging Information
Sciences Trust (the "Putnam Trust Fund"), and Putnam Investment Management, LLC,
on behalf of Putnam OTC and Emerging Growth Fund (the "Putnam OTC Fund" and,
together with the Putnam Trust Fund, the "Funds"), of the Funds' exercise of
their respective options to convert all of the 250,000 outstanding shares of the
Company's Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value
per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), collectively owned by the Funds into
an aggregate of 950,570 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value
per share (the "Common Stock"). Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of
Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series B Convertible Participating
Preferred Stock of the Company, the conversion was effective immediately prior
to the close of business on October 24, 2002 with respect to the 200,000 shares
of Series B Preferred Stock (which converted into 760,456 shares of Common
Stock) owned by the Putnam OTC Fund and October 25, 2002 with respect to the
50,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (which converted into 190,114 shares
of Common Stock) owned by the Putnam Trust Fund. After giving effect to the
conversion, the 950,570 shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with
the conversion represents, in the aggregate, approximately 10.21% of the
Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. From and after the date of the
conversion, all of the rights, privileges and preferences that the Funds were
entitled to as holders of Series B Preferred Stock (including the liquidation
preference, which would have been determined pursuant to a formula and could
have, in certain circumstances, resulted in a $5,000,000 liquidation preference
for the Funds) immediately terminated and the Funds automatically and
immediately became holders of record of their respective shares of Common Stock
received in the conversion. The shares of Common Stock owned by the Funds carry
the same rights, including those rights respecting voting, payment of dividends
and distributions upon liquidation, as the shares of Common Stock owned by the
Company's other stockholders. The Funds were the only owners of the Company's
Series B Preferred Stock; accordingly, there are no other shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of the Company issued and outstanding.
