<<Qualcomm, based in San Diego, will follow up the stock sale by distributing its remaining shares in the chip unit to Qualcomm shareholders, according to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The parent company expects the distribution to take place by August 2001. YES!!!>> How does this work if you own options and not stock ?
