ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.


On July 15, 2003, VASCO Data Security International, Inc. ("VASCO") reached an
agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Ubizen N.V. ("Ubizen") whereby VASCO
would purchase and redeem all of the VASCO Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
and Common Stock Purchase Warrants owned by Ubizen.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit
5.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, VASCO paid Ubizen $3,000,000 and
issue 2,000,000 shares of VASCO Common Stock on or before July 25,2003. VASCO
will pay Ubizen an additional $1,000,000 on or before November 14, 2003. The
Common Stock issued by VASCO will be subject to a lock-up period wherein the
lock-up will expire in increments of 500,000 shares each on October 15, 2003,
January 15, 2004, April 15, 2004 and July 15, 2004. Upon the expiration of each
incremental lock-up, the released shares will be subject to volume trading
restrictions through January 1, 2005.

The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock along with warrants to purchase
1,269,474 shares of VASCO Common Stock were originally sold to Ubizen for
$15,000,000 in July 2000. The Series C Preferred Stock was subject to a
mandatory redemption feature that would have been effective in July 2004. At the
mandatory redemption date, VASCO was obligated to either redeem the Preferred
Stock for $15,000,000 in cash or issue an equivalent value in VASCO Common Stock
at a per share price that was calculated to be equal to the average trading
price of VASCO's Common Stock for the 30 trading dates prior to the redemption
date less five (5) percent.
