(I don't have the original IPO price handy, and, at this number, we would adjust for the distribution.) I have a file on QCOM including the Tombstone for the IPO in 1991. I saved a large number of articles from the WSJ and reread them as I was looking for the IPO Tombstone. They were ALL VERY negative on QCOM. Most were dated around 1994 to 1996. I am sure there were many more articles that I did not save. I believe there have been two stock splits of 2 for 1 since the IPO. ---------- TOMBSTONE slang term for financial advertising listing acquisitions, new securities offered for sale, listing the underwriting parties in order of their participation--with managing partners listed at the top and participating members below. The name derives from the minimal artwork in financial ads. It lists only the relevant data of the parties to the transaction. Such ads are not an offer to sell, as securities regulations prohibit explicit advertising, other than through a PROSPECTUS. ------------- ------Tombstone---- December 18, 1991 4,600,000 Shares of QUALCOMM Incorporated Common Stock Price $16 Per Share This portion of the underwriting is being offered in the United States by the undersigned 3,680,000 Shares names of 34 firms follow This portion of the underwriting is being offered outside the United States by the undersigned 920,000 Shares names of 7 firms follow. -------------
