Items 1 through 9, and Item 11.

This amendment No. 5 to Schedule TO (“Amendment No. 5”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2008 (the “Schedule TO”), by Elliott QoS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of Elliott Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”) of Packeteer, Inc., a Delaware corporation, at $5.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 20, 2008, as amended (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”).

Except as specifically set forth herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule TO. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 5 and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in response to all of the items of this Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

Item 10. Financial Statements.

Not applicable.

Item 11. Additional Information.

This Amendment No. 5 corrects the first sentence of Item 11 of Amendment No. 4 by deleting and replacing the announced Expiration Date of the Offer to 11:59 p.m., New York City time on Wednesday, April 23, 2008.
