                            DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

Effective as of February 27, 2001, the Registrant adopted the QUALCOMM
Incorporated 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "2001 Plan"), which is intended to
replace its QUALCOMM Incorporated 1991 Stock Option Plan (the "1991 Plan").
Accordingly, no future option grants will be made pursuant to the 1991 Plan.
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registrant's Registration Statements
on Form S-8 listed below (collectively the "Registration Statements") is filed
to deregister 50,541,570 shares previously registered that remain available for
future grant under the Registrant's 1991 Plan. The 50,541,570 shares
deregistered by this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 will be registered, by a
subsequently filed registration statement on Form S-8 for the 2001 Plan, and the
associated registration fee paid by the Registrant to register shares issuable
under its 1991 Plan on the Registration Statements will be carried forward and
applied to the registration fee necessary to register shares issuable under the
Registrant's 2001 Plan. Please note, however, that 106,280,106 shares remain
subject to outstanding options previously granted under the Registrant's 1991
Plan. Accordingly, the Registration Statements will remain in effect to cover
the potential exercise of such outstanding options.
