Purpose of Amendment

     The purpose of this amendment is to amend and supplement Items 3, 4, 6 and 8 in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule
14D-9 previously filed by PeopleSoft, Inc. (the “Company”) on June 12, 2003 and subsequently amended, and to add ten additional exhibits to Item 9 and amend the exhibit index accordingly.

Item 3. Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements

     Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     Employment Agreements

     Mr. Conway, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, entered into an employment agreement with PeopleSoft in May 1999. The Compensation Committee approved material amendments to Mr. Conway’s employment agreement on May 27, 2003 and August 20, 2003, and a formal restated employment agreement was executed on January 30, 2004. The restated agreement is attached as Exhibit (e)(11) to this Schedule 14D-9 and is incorporated herein by this reference. The agreement provides for an annual base salary, subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee, which is currently set at $1,000,000. In addition, the agreement provides that Mr. Conway’s bonuses will be determined by the Compensation Committee based on performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the employment agreement, in May 1999 the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Conway options to acquire 2,000,000 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.6875 per share with monthly vesting over a four year period, conditioned on Mr. Conway’s continued employment or consulting relationship with PeopleSoft. Also pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Conway purchased 500,000 restricted shares of PeopleSoft’s Common Stock at $0.01 per share in 1999. Such restricted stock was subject to repurchase by PeopleSoft at its original purchase price, which right expired as to 25% of the shares each year over four years, conditioned on Mr. Conway’s continued employment or consulting relationship with PeopleSoft. All repurchase rights with respect to these restricted shares have expired. Mr. Conway is eligible to receive additional grants of options and restricted stock as determined by the Compensation Committee.

     Mr. Conway is entitled to severance pay and accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted stock awards under certain circumstances. If Mr. Conway is involuntarily terminated other than for cause, or if Mr. Conway voluntarily terminates his employment with PeopleSoft for good reason, the vesting of his stock options and restricted stock will be accelerated to the same extent as such options or restricted stock would have vested had Mr. Conway remained employed by PeopleSoft for an additional twenty-four months. However, the 500,000 shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Conway in February 2002 are not subject to accelerated vesting upon termination of his employment, but instead vest pro rata based on the number of months from the date of grant through the date of termination. Mr. Conway would also be entitled to severance equal to two years’ base salary plus target bonus. In the event of a change of control, Mr. Conway’s unvested stock options will become fully vested and exercisable and his unvested restricted stock will also fully vest. If the vesting of Mr. Conway’s restricted stock cannot be accelerated as described above, PeopleSoft will make a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the unvested restricted stock owned by Mr. Conway on the date of termination of employment or on the date of the change of control, as applicable.

     Severance Arrangements

     Mr. Conway and two other executive officers also have retention bonus arrangements that contain acceleration of service provisions if their employment is terminated without cause or in connection with a change of control of PeopleSoft.

Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation

     Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     On January 16, 2004, Kevin T. Parker, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, sent an e-mail to the Company’s employees regarding the status of the Oracle tender offer and the anticipated proxy contest with Oracle. The text of this e-mail is attached as exhibit (a)(63) to this Schedule 14D-9 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

     On January 22, 2004, Craig A. Conway, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, sent a letter to the Wall Street Journal regarding antitrust and other matters relating to the Oracle tender offer, an edited version of which was published in the Wall Street Journal on January 26, 2004. The text of this letter is attached as exhibit (a)(64) to this Schedule 14D-9 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

      On February 3, 2004, the Company ran the advertisement which is attached as exhibit (a)(71) to this Schedule 14D-9 and incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 6. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company

     Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     Except as described below and except as disclosed in the Schedule 14D-9 previously filed by the Company, as subsequently amended, no transactions with respect to the Common Stock of the Company have been effected by the Company or, to the Company’s best knowledge, by any of its executive officers, directors, affiliates or subsidiaries during the past 60 days.

Item 8. Additional Information

Proxy Solicitation Matters

     On January 23, 2004, Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) provided a written notice to the Company and issued a press release regarding its intent to nominate a slate of directors for election at the Company’s 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and to bring other matters before the stockholders at the meeting. The Company’s response to Oracle’s public announcement is contained in the press release attached as exhibit (a)(65) to this Schedule 14D-9 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

     On January 30, 2004, PeopleSoft announced that it would hold its 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on March 25, 2004. Stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2004 will be eligible to vote at the meeting. A copy of the press release announcing these dates is attached as exhibit (a)(66) to this Schedule 14D-9.

Earnings Release Call

     On January 29, 2003, the Company issued its earnings release for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and hosted an analysts conference call. A portion of the transcript of the conference call is attached as exhibit (a)(67) to this Schedule 14D-9 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Court Proceedings

     On January 12, 2004, the California Superior Court for the County of Alameda held a case management conference in PeopleSoft, Inc. v. Oracle Corporation. A Case Management Order was filed on January 26, 2004. That order is attached hereto as exhibit (a)(68).

     On January 20, 2004, Oracle and Pepper Acquisition Corp. filed in the Alameda County Court (a) a Notice of Demurrer and Demurrer to the Company’s Second Amended Complaint (attached hereto as exhibit (a)(69)), and (b) a Notice of Motion to Strike and a Motion to Strike portions of the Company’s Second Amended Complaint (attached hereto as exhibit (a)(70)).

Equity Incentive Plans

     On January 28, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the following changes to PeopleSoft’s equity compensation plans:

          The annual refresh rate of the Amended and Restated 1989 Stock Plan was reduced from the lesser of 20 million shares or 5% of the outstanding common stock to the lesser of 20 million shares or 3% of the outstanding common stock, effective as of December 30, 2003;
 
          Approximately 9 million shares available for equity awards at December 31, 2003 were canceled from the 1989 Plan; and
 
          The 2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan was terminated, and therefore no additional options can be granted under that plan.

These changes are intended to increase long-term stockholder value by reducing potential future dilution to PeopleSoft stockholders.
