Mark, Here is the filing for the split thats on the Edgars: The Board of Directors of Compaq Computer Corporation is soliciting your consent to amend Compaq's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from one billion to three billion and to modify the capitalization of its name to reflect current practice. We ask that you return your written consent by December 11, 1997. The Board believes that it is in the best interest of Compaq and its stockholders to increase the number of shares of common stock to effect a two-for-one stock split (to holders of record on December 31, 1997) and for other corporate business needs. Before the amendments can be effective, the holders of a majority of Compaq's outstanding stock must give their written consent. If your shares are held in street name, your broker may consent on your behalf if you do not direct your broker to refuse to consent. You may revoke your consent at any time before December 11, 1997 by sending a written revocation to Compaq's transfer agent, Boston EquiServe, P.O. Box 9378, Boston, MA 02205-9378. We will file the amendments with the Secretary of State of Delaware when we receive consents from the holders of a majority of Compaq's outstanding common stock. We expect to make this filing on or about December 12, 1997. A copy of the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this information statement. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on October 31, 1997 are entitled to consent to the amendments. On that day, there were __________ shares of Compaq common stock outstanding.
