Oracle's offer seeks to enrich Oracle at the expense of PeopleSoft's stockholders, customers and employees, ... We believe that Oracle's proposed acquisition of PeopleSoft would stifle competition and limit customer choice.
Although we have been able to meet or exceed our financial projections since Oracle launched their hostile tender offer more than a year ago, the extensive publicity of the antitrust trial during the last month of our quarter was impossible to completely overcome,
By making an offer with the acknowledged intent of eliminating PeopleSoft's business, Oracle seeks to disrupt PeopleSoft's efforts to complete new sales, thus, effectively damaging PeopleSoft's business even if Oracle never buys a single share of PeopleSoft stock,
I could imagine no price or combination of price and other conditions to recommend accepting the offer to our shareholders,
