Donna L. Dubinsky, Handspring’s Chief Executive Officer, is the trustee of the Amended and Restated Dubinsky Trust dated May 23, 1995.
The plan will commence after Handspring common stock is exchanged for Palm, Inc. common stock in connection with Handspring’s acquisition by Palm, which is expected to occur on October 28, 2003.
