ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

 

On October 28, 2003, Palm, Inc. (“Palm”) effected the spin-off of its majority-owned subsidiary, PalmSource, Inc. (“PalmSource”) by merging Peace Separation Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Palm, with and into Palm, thereby effecting the distribution of all of the shares of PalmSource common stock owned by Palm to Palm’s stockholders. For each share of Palm common stock, stockholders received 0.3098041712 shares of PalmSource common stock. No consideration was received by Palm in this transaction.

 

On October 29, 2003, Palm effected the acquisition of Handspring, Inc. (“Handspring”) in a merger transaction in which Harmony Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Palm, was merged with and into Handspring, with Handspring continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Palm. The stockholders of Handspring received 0.09 of a share of Palm common stock for each share of Handspring common stock. The amount of such consideration was determined based upon arm’s-length negotiations between Palm and Handspring. Immediately following the acquisition, Palm effected a change of its corporate name to palmOne, Inc. (the “Registrant”).
