ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
      VERITAS Software Corporation (“VERITAS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Symantec Corporation (“Symantec”), expects to file its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 with a foreign regulatory agency to comply with foreign securities laws applicable to employee stock options previously granted by VERITAS. VERITAS was not required to file a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, which would have included its financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as a result of its merger with Symantec on July 2, 2005.
      The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of VERITAS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated hereby by reference. These financial statements are presented on a stand-alone basis for VERITAS and do not take into account the impact of purchase accounting or other adjustments contemplated by Symantec in connection with its accounting for the acquisition of VERITAS. The results of operations of VERITAS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of Symantec’s future results of operations.
