Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On September 12, 2005, Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Siebel Systems, Inc. (“Siebel”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Sierra Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ozark Holding Inc. (the “Holding Company”), will merge with and into Siebel, with Siebel as the surviving corporation of such merger and Ozark Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, will merge with and into Oracle, with Oracle as the surviving corporation of such merger (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger: (i) Siebel and Oracle will each become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company; and (ii) Siebel stockholders will receive $10.66 per share in cash for each Siebel share held, unless they elect to receive Oracle common stock, but no more than 30% of Siebel’s common shares may be exchanged for Oracle common stock. In the event that Siebel stockholders holding more than 30% of Siebel common stock elect to receive Oracle common stock, the equity consideration will be pro-rated. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust approvals and approval by the stockholders of Siebel. Thomas M. Siebel, who holds approximately 7% of the outstanding common stock of Siebel has entered into an agreement requiring him to vote in favor of the Merger. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release issued by Siebel and Oracle on September 12, 2005 concerning the transaction is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Siebel. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties to the Merger Agreement made to and solely for the benefit of each other. The assertions embodied in such representations and warranties are qualified by information contained in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with signing the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and stockholders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were only made as of the date of the Merger Agreement and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Siebel’s public disclosures.
Rights Amendment
At a special meeting of the Board of Directors on September 11, 2005, the Board of Directors of Siebel approved an amendment (the “Rights Amendment”) to Siebel’s Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of January 29, 2003, to provide that no person shall be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) by reason of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement or the Voting Agreement (as

such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), the Merger or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, that neither a “Distribution Date” nor a “Shares Acquisition Date” (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement) shall be deemed to occur and that the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement will not separate from Siebel’s common stock as a result of the execution, delivery or performance of the Merger Agreement or the Voting Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Rights Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
