               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT



ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

      The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1999, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June
30, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Perot Systems
Corporation (the "Company") are hereby incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.

      All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 after the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be
a part hereof from the date of filing such documents. Any statement contained
in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration
Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other
subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

      Not applicable.


ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

      Not applicable.


ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") empowers
a Delaware corporation to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to
be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact
that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such corporation as an officer or director of another
corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best
interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and
directors against expenses (including attorneys' fees) in connection with the
defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation under
the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without
judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the
corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which such
officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

      Article VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides
for the elimination of personal liability of its directors for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except as otherwise provided by the
DGCL.

      A director of the Company may not be personally liable to the Company or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived any improper personal benefit. The provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation eliminating the liability of directors for
monetary damages do not affect the standard of conduct to which directors must
adhere, nor do such provisions affect the availability of equitable relief. In
addition, such limitations on personal liability do not affect the availability
of monetary damages under causes of action based on federal law.

      The Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of its
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In
addition, the Company provides director and officer insurance coverage for the
benefit of its directors and officers.

      In addition to provisions made by the Company, Mr. Steve Blasnik is
indemnified for actions taken in his capacity as a director of the Company as
part of his employment arrangement with Perot Investments, Inc., a private
investment firm.

      Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to a Delaware
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL relating to the unlawful payment of a
dividend or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

      (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

           (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
         made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                   (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
           of the Securities Act of 1933;

                   (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
           arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or
           the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
           individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
           the information set forth in this Registration Statement.
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
           securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
           would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
           the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range

                                       3

<PAGE>   4


           may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
           pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
           and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
           aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
           Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

                   (iii) To include any material information with respect to
           the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
           Registration Statement or any material change to such information
           set forth in this Registration Statement;

      provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
      if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and
      the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
      those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
      to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
      the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
      this Registration Statement.

           (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
         shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

           (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
         at the termination of the offering.

           (4) If the Registrant is a foreign private issuer, to file a
         post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to include any
         financial statements required by Rule 3-19 of this chapter at the
         start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering,
         Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section
         10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the
         Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective
         amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph
         (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other
         information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of
         those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
         respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective
         amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and
         information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of
         this chapter if such financial statements and information are
         contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
         Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
         of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
         reference in the Form F-3.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
         determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
         filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
         15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
         each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
         Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
         incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
         shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
         Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or
         controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
         provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
         opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
         is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
         unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
         such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
         incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
         Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
         proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such director,
         officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
         registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
         the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
         court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
         indemnification by it is against policy as expressed in the Act and
         will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

      The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1999, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June
30, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Perot Systems
Corporation (the "Company") are hereby incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.

      All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 after the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

      Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

      Not applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") empowers
a Delaware corporation to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to
be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact
that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such corporation as an officer or director of another
corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best
interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and
directors against expenses (including attorneys' fees) in connection with the
defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation under
the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without
judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the
corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which such
officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

      Article VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides
for the elimination of personal liability of its directors for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except as otherwise provided by the
DGCL.

      A director of the Company may not be personally liable to the Company or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived any improper personal benefit. The provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation eliminating the liability of directors for
monetary damages do not affect the standard of conduct to which directors must
adhere, nor do such provisions affect the availability of equitable relief. In
addition, such limitations on personal liability do not affect the availability
of monetary damages under causes of action based on federal law.

      The Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of its
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In
addition, the Company provides director and officer insurance coverage for the
benefit of its directors and officers.

      In addition to provisions made by the Company, Mr. Steve Blasnik is
indemnified for actions taken in his capacity as a director of the Company as
part of his employment arrangement with Perot Investments, Inc., a private
investment firm.

      Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to a Delaware
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL relating to the unlawful payment of a
dividend or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

      (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

           (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
         made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                   (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
           of the Securities Act of 1933;

                   (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
           arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or
           the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
           individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
           the information set forth in this Registration Statement.
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
           securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
           would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
           the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range

                                       3
4

           may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
           pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
           and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
           aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
           Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

                   (iii) To include any material information with respect to
           the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
           Registration Statement or any material change to such information
           set forth in this Registration Statement;

      provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
      if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and
      the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
      those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
      to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
      the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
      this Registration Statement.

           (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
         shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

           (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
         at the termination of the offering.

           (4) If the Registrant is a foreign private issuer, to file a
         post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to include any
         financial statements required by Rule 3-19 of this chapter at the
         start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering,
         Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section
         10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the
         Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective
         amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph
         (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other
         information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of
         those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
         respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective
         amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and
         information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of
         this chapter if such financial statements and information are
         contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
         Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
         of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
         reference in the Form F-3.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
         determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
         filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
         15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
         each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
         Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
         incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
         shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
         Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or
         controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
         provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
         opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
         is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
         unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
         such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
         incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
         Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
         proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such director,
         officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
         registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
         the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
         court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
         indemnification by it is against policy as expressed in the Act and
         will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
