Item 5.    Other Events.

On October 1, 2002, Entrust, Inc. (the “Company”) publicly disseminated a press release announcing that on September 30, 2002, Judge T. John Ward of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Court”) issued an order dismissing a class action lawsuit pending against the Company.

As previously disclosed, on July 7, 2000, an action entitled Frankel v. Entrust Technologies, Inc., et al., No. 2-00-CV-119, was filed in the Court. Subsequently, several similar actions were also filed. All of these actions were consolidated and on January 22, 2001, a consolidated complaint was filed. The consolidated complaint purported to be a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired common stock of the Company during the period from October 19, 1999 through July 3, 2000. The consolidated complaint alleged that the defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose certain information about the Company’s business and prospects, as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It did not specify the amount of damages sought.

On September 21, 2001, the Company moved to dismiss an amended complaint filed on August 30, 2001. The Court found that the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act required dismissal of the case because of the lack of specificity with which the amended complaint was pleaded. The case was dismissed with prejudice; however, the order is subject to the possibility of an appeal.

The full text of the Company’s press release issued in connection with the foregoing is filed as Exhibit 99 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
