GENERAL

 

This prospectus supplement is part of a registration statement that we filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf process, we may offer up to $200,000,000 of our debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depository shares and warrants from time to time in one or more offerings. We have previously sold a total of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $18,000,000. This prospectus supplement provides specific information about the offering of an additional 1,200,000 shares of our common stock under the shelf registration statement. The investors purchasing under this prospectus supplement have not previously purchased shares under our shelf registration statement.

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK

 

On August 27, 2003, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $16.99 per share. Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “PALM.”

 

As of August 27, 2003 and before the issuance of the 1,200,000 shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement, we had approximately 30,501,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $19,050,000. We plan to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including activities described in the prospectus. Pending those uses, we will invest the net proceeds in interest-bearing securities.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The sale of the common stock to the institutional investors is being made on terms we negotiated with those investors. The purchase agreements between the investors and us contain representations that each investor:

 

    is an institutional purchaser;

 

    is acquiring the shares in the ordinary course of its business;

 

    is acquiring the shares for its own account or for the accounts of persons for whom it acts as an investment advisor;

 

    has no view to, or arrangement with, any person to participate in the distribution of the shares being purchased (except for allocations to separately managed accounts of an investment advisor), or any other sale of the shares, except in compliance with applicable federal and other securities laws; and

 

    will sell the shares only through registered broker dealers.

 

The investors may be considered underwriters under applicable securities laws. Resales of common stock by the investors and persons receiving shares from an investor in the United States, its territories and possessions must be made in compliance with applicable United States securities laws.

 

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
