ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     On January 30, 2002, Accelio Corporation (the "Company")  announced that it
has  received  several  proposals  to acquire all of its issued and  outstanding
shares,  each  proposal  being for a price per share that is higher than that of
the  unsolicited  tender offer made by Open Text  Corporation  ("Open  Text") on
December 20, 2001 (the "Open Text Offer").  Accelio and its  financial  advisors
are currently  negotiating a definitive  agreement,  the conclusion of which may
not be possible before the expiry of the Open Text Offer.

     The  Company  encourages  shareholders  of the  Company  that have  already
tendered  shares to Open Text to withdraw  their shares prior to the expiry date
of the Open Text Offer.  It is a condition of the Open Text Offer that Open Text
must make a public  announcement  if 50 per cent of the Company's  common shares
not already owned by Open Text have been tendered to it on the expiry date. Open
Text does not intend to take up and pay for any  tendered  shares of the Company
unless certain minimum  conditions have been met at the time the Open Text Offer
expires.


ITEM 7.  EXHIBITS.
