| Exhibit 99.1 – Notice to Directors and Executive Officers of PeopleSoft, Inc. dated October 15, 2003 |
Item 11. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans
| On October 15, 2003, PeopleSoft, Inc. (the “Company”) sent a notice to its directors and executive officers informing them that a blackout period will be in effect beginning at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on December 26, 2003 until further notice from the Company, restricting them from purchasing, acquiring, selling or otherwise transferring certain equity securities of the Company. The blackout results from a benefit plan administrator’s procedure for processing tenders of shares in an employee benefit plan in connection with a tender offer from Oracle Corporation. This notice updated and superseded a prior notice to the Company’s directors and executive officers given on September 17, 2003, relating to a blackout period beginning October 14, 2003. The reason for the updated notice is that Oracle Corporation extended the expiration of its tender offer from October 17, 2003 until December 31, 2003. Although this notice may not have been required because the blackout period will not last for more than three business days unless the tender offer for the Company’s shares by Oracle Corporation is extended under certain circumstances, it was provided as a cautionary matter to ensure compliance with Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. |
| A copy of the notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. |
