Item 5.  Other Events

     On December 18, 2000,  the Board of  Directors  of  AremisSoft  Corporation
("AremisSoft")  declared  a  two-for-one  stock  split  in the  form  of a stock
dividend (the "Stock Split") with respect to the issued and  outstanding  shares
of  AremisSoft  common  stock.  All  stockholders  of  record as of the close of
business on  December  28, 2000 (the  "Record  Date") will  receive one share of
common  stock for each share of common  stock held as of the  Record  Date.  The
payment will be made on January 8, 2001.

     As of the Record Date,  AremisSoft  had  17,598,904  shares of common stock
outstanding and will issue the same number of shares to existing stockholders as
of the Record Date to effect the Stock Split.  In  addition,  as a result of the
anti-dilution  provisions  contained in AremisSoft's  1998 Stock Option Plan and
2000 Stock Option Plan and certain warrant and option agreements,  AremisSoft is
obligated to issue an additional  2,982,011 shares of common stock upon exercise
of options and  warrants  previously  granted but  unexercised  as of the Record
Date.

     On August 29, 2000,  AremisSoft filed a registration  statement on Form S-3
with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  (Registration  No.  333-31768) in
which 800,000 shares of its common stock were registered (the "S-3  Registration
Statement").  The  distribution  of the shares  covered by the S-3  Registration
Statement has not been completed and,  pursuant to Rule 416(b) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended,  the S-3 Registration  Statement is hereby amended as a
result of the filing of this Current Report to include 800,000 additional shares
which are issuable as a result of the Stock Split.
