"The combination of these two companies brings together some of the best products and people in the enterprise applications market, all for the benefit of the customer." 1 - Larry Ellison, Chief Executive Officer, Oracle Corporation. "After careful consideration, we believe this revised tender offer provides good value for PeopleSoft stockholders. PeopleSoft is a strong and vibrant company." 2 - George Battle, Chairman, PeopleSoft's Transaction Committee. IntroductionOn January 07, 2005, Oracle Corporation, the second largest software company in the world, announced that it would acquire PeopleSoft Inc.3 at $10.3 bn.
The acquisition was unique in many ways. It raised corporate governance issues when Peoplesoft's shareholders opposed the use of poison pills by the company's management. It also led to debates regarding the use of poison pills and whether prevailing regulations required a review. It brought defeat to the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in an antitrust case, thus encouraging bigger consolidations in the software industry, in future.
