ITEM 5: OTHER EVENTS.

     Symantec’s policy regarding securities trades by company personnel permits sales of the company’s securities under plans instituted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1. These plans are designed to allow directors and executive officers to diversify their holdings but dispel any inference that they are purchasing or selling their company’s stock on the basis of, or while they are aware of, material nonpublic information.

     George Reyes, a director of the company, has adopted a 10b5-1 plan. This plan provides for periodic sales of shares on the open market at prevailing market prices, subject to certain volume limits and minimum price requirements. The plan is effective immediately.
