VeriSign (VRSN)

Termination of Purchase Rights

A purchase right will terminate upon the participant’s election to withdraw from the Purchase Plan. Any payroll deductions that the participant may have made with respect to the terminated purchase right will be refunded to the participant if the election to withdraw from the Purchase Plan is received by VeriSign at least 15 days prior to the end of an offering period. If the participant’s election to withdraw is received by VeriSign less than 15 days prior to the end of an offering period, the participant’s payroll deductions will be used to purchase shares on the purchase date and his/her participation will end at the beginning of the next purchase period or offering period. A participant’s election to withdraw from the Purchase Plan is irrevocable, and the participant may not rejoin the purchase period or offering period for which the terminated purchase right was granted.

A purchase right will also terminate upon the participant’s termination of employment. Any payroll deductions that the participant may have made during the purchase period in which the termination occurs will be refunded to the participant.

In addition, VeriSign has specifically reserved the right, exercisable in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, to terminate the Purchase Plan, or any offering period thereunder, at any time.
