Legal Notice The following presentation may contain forward looking statements that state PeopleSoft's intentions, beliefs, expectations, or predictions for the future. You are cautioned that these statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results. All forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made and PeopleSoft undertakes no obligation to update or revise them. The specific forward-looking statements relate to such matters as the impact of PeopleSoft's combination with J.D. Edwards and the combined Company's projected financial performance. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause the PeopleSoft's actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. These risks, assumptions and uncertainties include: our ability to successfully complete the integration of J.D. Edwards into PeopleSoft and to achieve anticipated synergies, economic and political conditions in the U.S. and abroad; the ability to complete and deliver products and services within currently estimated time frames and budgets; the ability to manage expenses effectively; the ability to achieve revenue from products and services that are under development; competitive and pricing pressures; and other risks referenced from time to time in PeopleSoft's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please refer to PeopleSoft's current annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for more information on the risk factors that could cause actual results to differ. Please remember that the Company undertakes no obligation to update any information during this presentation PeopleSoft has filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 regarding Oracle's tender offer and a definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A in connection with the PeopleSoft board of directors' solicitation of proxies for the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. PeopleSoft stockholders should read the Schedule 14D-9 and the 2004 Proxy Statement (including any amendments to such documents) because these documents contain important information. The Schedule 14D-9, the 2004 Proxy Statement, and other public filings made by PeopleSoft with the SEC are available without charge from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and from PeopleSoft at www.peoplesoft.com. During the course of this presentation, we reference certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company has used non-GAAP pro forma financial measures, which exclude adjustments related to purchase accounting and restructuring costs, in analyzing financial results because they provide meaningful information regarding the Company's operational performance and facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results. Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are included in this document. Permission to use reprinted material has been neither sought nor obtained.

Research Analysts Believe in the Growth Model "We believe January is off to a strong start and that our estimates are achievable ... Momentum and morale at PeopleSoft remain strong in spite of the normal friction and dislocation associated with a significant merger" Eric Upin Wells Fargo January 30, 2004 Patrick Snell Baird February 10, 2004 John Torrey Adams, Harkness & Hill February 11, 2004 "Significant cross-selling, upselling and new customer sales exist for PeopleSoft's three distinct product families ... by integrating product functionality between the J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft suites" "Disproportionate leverage to the mid-market and manufacturing sector, strong forward growth from CRM and enterprise performance management products, and enhanced productivity of the J.D. Edwards organization should drive revenue and earnings outperformance" Chuck Phillips Morgan Stanley January 2003 "We believe the company is well-positioned long-term against competitors with regard to its broad, integrated product offering, large customer base and strong management team. PeopleSoft makes the cut of a select few enterprise application suite vendors that will serve global companies for years to come"
