Items 1 through 9, and Item 11.

 

This Amendment No. 5 to Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO amends and supplements the statement originally filed on June 9, 2002 by Oracle Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Pepper Acquisition Corp. (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. This Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and the associated preferred stock purchase rights (together, the “Shares”), of PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at $16.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 9, 2003 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated herein by reference with respect to Items 1 through 9 and 11 of this Schedule TO.

 

The Offer to Purchase is amended as follows:

 

The phrase “sole discretion” is hereby replaced with the phrase “reasonable discretion” in each place it appears in the description of the conditions to the offer appearing on each of (i) the cover, (ii) under the question “What are the most significant conditions to the offer?” in the Summary Term Sheet; and (iii) in the second paragraph of the Introduction.

 

The fourth and fifth sentences under the question “Do you have the financial resources to pay for the shares?” in the Summary Term Sheet are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

 

“In the event such facility was unavailable, Oracle Corporation could also raise funds through borrowings from other lenders or the issuance of securities. Oracle Corporation expects to contribute or otherwise advance funds to enable us to consummate the offer. Oracle Corporation expects, based upon the combination of internally available cash, borrowings under the revolving credit facility or any other credit facility, or the issuance of securities, to have sufficient cash on hand at the expiration of the offer to pay the offer price for all shares in the offer.”

 

The first and second sentences of the first paragraph under the question “When and how will I be paid for my tendered shares?” in the Summary Term Sheet are each amended by deleting the phrase “relating to governmental or regulatory approvals” and replacing it with the phrase “that are dependent upon the receipt of government approvals”.

 

The first and second sentences of first paragraph of Section 2 (“Acceptance for Payment and Payment”) are each amended by deleting the phrase “relating to governmental or regulatory approvals” and replacing it with the phrase “that are dependent upon the receipt of government approvals”.

 

The sole sentence of the last paragraph of Section 2 (“Acceptance for Payment and Payment”) is hereby amended by replacing the phrase “as promptly as practicable” with the word “promptly”.

 

The second to last sentence of the last paragraph of Section 8 (“Certain Information Concerning the Company”) is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “; or at the SEC’s public reference rooms in New York, New York or Chicago, Illinois”.

 

The sole sentence of the third to last paragraph of the description of the Rights appearing in Section 9 (“Certain Information Concerning the Purchaser and Parent”) under the heading “Preferred Stock Purchase Rights” is hereby amended by replacing the phrase “sole discretion” with the phrase “reasonable discretion”.

 

The description of the Rights appearing in Section 9 (“Certain Information Concerning the Purchaser and Parent”) under the heading “Preferred Stock Purchase Rights” is hereby moved to Section 8 (“Certain Information Concerning the Company”) and inserted immediately following the second paragraph of Section 8.


The last two sentences of the first paragraph of Section 10 (“Source and Amount of Funds”) are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

 

“In the event such Acquisition Facility was unavailable, Parent could also raise funds through borrowings from other lenders or the issuance of securities. Parent expects to contribute or otherwise advance funds to enable the Purchaser to consummate the Offer. Parent expects, based upon the combination of internally available cash, borrowings under the Acquisition Facility or any other credit facility, or the issuance of securities, to have sufficient cash on hand at the expiration of the Offer to pay the offer price for all Shares in the Offer.”

 

The first paragraph of Section 14 (“Conditions of the Offer”) is hereby amended by replacing the phrase “time of payment for such Shares (whether or not any Shares have theretofore been accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer)” with the phrase “expiration of the Offer (or thereafter in relation to any condition dependent upon the receipt of government approvals)”.

 

Each instance of the phrase “in our judgment” appearing the clauses numbered (i) through (ix) of the first paragraph of Section 14 (“Conditions to the Offer”) is hereby deleted and replaced with the phrase “in our reasonable judgment”.

 

The phrase “in Parent’s or the Purchaser’s judgment” in the text following the semicolon of clause (ix) of the first paragraph of Section 14 (“Conditions to the Offer”) is hereby deleted and replaced with the phrase “in Parent’s or the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment”.

 

The first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 14 (“Conditions to the Offer”) is hereby amended by:

 

(i) replacing each instance of the phrase “sole discretion” with the phrase “reasonable discretion”; and

 

(ii) replacing the phrase “or, with respect to the HSR Condition and the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, before payment for any Shares pursuant to the Offer.” with the phrase “(provided that all conditions to the Offer other than those dependent upon the receipt of government approvals must be satisfied or waived prior to expiration of the Offer).”

 

The Letter to Clients for use by Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees is hereby amended by replacing the phrase “sole discretion” with the phrase “reasonable discretion” in each place it appears in the description of the conditions to the offer appearing in paragraph 3 on page 1.
