AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO FORM 8-A

We hereby amend the following items, exhibits or other portions of our Form 8-A filed on February 17, 1995, as amended on March 25, 1998, related to our Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, as set forth below.

Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

     On December 26, 2002, PeopleSoft, Inc. (the “Company”), BankBoston, N.A. and EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. executed an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Company’s First Amended and Restated Preferred Shares Rights Agreement dated December 16, 1997 (the “Rights Agreement”). Amendment No. 1 appointed EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. as Rights Agent to replace BankBoston, N.A.

     On December 12, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Oracle Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Oracle”), and Pepper Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Oracle caused Merger Sub to amend its outstanding offer to purchase any and all the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, including the Rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, to reflect the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, including the purchase price of $26.50 per share (the “Offer”), which Offer will be followed by a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein. In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company and EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Rights Agreement dated December 12, 2004 (“Amendment No. 2” and, together with Amendment No. 1, the “Amendments”). Amendment No. 2 amends the Rights Agreement to render the Rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement inapplicable to the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

     Section 27 of the Rights Agreement provides that prior to a Distribution Date, the Company may supplement or amend the Rights Agreement in any respect without the consent of the holders of the Rights. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Rights Agreement.

     Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Rights Agreement, specifying the terms of the Rights, are filed as Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3 hereto, respectively, and the Amendments and the Rights Agreement, including the form of the Rights Certificate, are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Rights Agreement and the Amendments does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
