ITEM 2            ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


     On  December  16,  1999,  eGlobe,  Inc.  ("eGlobe"),  signed  a  definitive
agreement to merge with Trans Global Communications,  Inc. ("TGC"). TGC provides
its clients with services that include international and domestic  terminations,
co-location facilities, switch partitioning and pre-paid calling cards through a
facilities-based,    direct    connection   and   resale   network.    TGC   has
points-of-presence  in New York, Los Angeles,  San Francisco,  Miami, London and
Cairo.  Through  its main  switching  centers  in New York and  London,  TGC can
transport and terminate voice, fax or data calls to any country with a hard wire
or cell-based communications system.

         Under the  merger  agreement,  assuming  no  dissenters,  shares of TGC
common  stock  will be  converted  in the  aggregate  into the right to  receive
40,000,000  shares  of  eGlobe  common  stock,  plus  cash to be paid in lieu of
fractional shares. Each share of TGC common stock outstanding  immediately prior
to the effective time of the merger, assuming no dissenters,  would be converted
into the right to  receive a number of shares of eGlobe  Common  Stock  equal to
40,000,000 divided by the total number of shares of TGC Common Stock outstanding
immediately  prior to the effective time (the "Exchange  Ratio").  The shares of
eGlobe common stock held by eGlobe stockholders  immediately prior to the merger
will remain unchanged by the merger. Upon completion o f the merger,  former TGC
stockholders will hold  approximately 45% of the shares of eGlobe outstanding on
a fully diluted basis,  assuming the conversion of outstanding  preferred  stock
and options and warrants.

         The merger  agreement  provides for an escrow to support the  indemnity
obligations of the TGC stockholders and eGlobe under the merger  agreement.  The
escrow will consist of (i) 5% of the aggregate number of shares of eGlobe Common
Stock issuable to TGC  Stockholders  under the merger  agreement,  which will be
withheld and deposited  into escrow to support the indemnity  obligations of the
TGC Stockholders under the merger agreement,  and (ii) an equal number of shares
which  will be  deposited  into  escrow  be  eGlobe  to  support  the  indemnity
obligations of deposited into escrow to support the indemnity obligations of the
TGC  Stockholders  under the merger  agreement under the merger  agreement.  The
escrowed shares will be held for one year or longer and will be released only in
accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement.

         Upon  completion o the merger,  a number of TGC  directors and officers
will assume management and director  positions with eGlobe,  including Arnold S.
Gumowitz (TGC's chairman), Gary S. Gumowitz (TGC's president) and John W. Hughes
(TGC's general counsel), as directors and executive officers of eGlobe.

         The merger is expected to be accounted  for as a pooling of  interests.
If  the  merger  is  consummated,  eGlobe  will  restate,  retroactively  at the
effective time of the merger, its consolidated  financial  statements to include
the assets, liabilities,  stockholders' equity and results of operations of TGC,
as if the  companies had been combined at the first date covered by the combined
financial statements.

         The merger is expected to qualify as a tax-free  reorganization for tax
purposes.

         The eGlobe common shares issued to TGC  stockholders in connection with
the merger will be restricted  securities  which cannot be resold until they are
registered  under  applicable  securities  laws.  However,  the merger agreement
requires  eGlobe,  within 90 days after the  effective  time of the  merger,  to

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

prepare  and file a  registration  statement  covering  the resale of the eGlobe
common stock by the TGC stockholders,  and to maintain the effectiveness of this
registration statement.

         The merger is subject to several conditions.  The issuance of shares by
eGlobe in the merger is  subject to the  approval  of eGlobe  stockholders.  The
merger is also subject to receipt of various regulatory approvals,  letters from
accountants  regarding  treatment  as a  pooling  of  interests  for  accounting
purposes  and  letters  regarding  treatment  for  tax  purposes  as a  tax-free
reorganization,  [receipt  of  requisite  financing],  and  other  matters.  The
companies expect to conclude the merger in the first quarter of 2000.

         The  Agreement  and Plan of Merger dated as of December 16, 1999 by and
among eGlobe,  eGlobe Merger Sub No. 6, Inc., TGC and the  Stockholders of TGC ,
attached  hereto as Exhibit 2.1,  contains more detailed  information  about the
terms of the merger.
