| /TI | What's Next for PeopleSoft?; The last antitrust obstacle to Oracle's |
| takeover bid has been cleared. Now, one way or another, investors want | |
| this soap opera to end | |

| TEXT: _Those acquisitive executives at Oracle (ORCL) are getting pretty good at | |
| jumping legal hurdles. On Oct. 26, the European Commission announced it | |
| won't block Oracle's proposed hostile takeover of rival software maker | |
| PeopleSoft (PSFT). It was the last antitrust barrier to the $7.7 billion | |
| deal. In September, a federal judge rejected the U.S. Justice Dept.'s | |
| attempt to block Oracle on antitrust grounds. | |
| Nonetheless, the EC decision doesn't mean the takeover is a done deal. | |
| PeopleSoft said in a statement that its board will consider the | |
| commission's decision, but noted that it has unanimously rejected every | |
| offer Oracle has made since it first went after the Pleasanton (Calif.) | |
| company 15 months ago. Oracle's latest cash bid is $21 per share. | |
| PeopleSoft stood at $20.09 as of Oct. 26's close. | |
| PUNDIT FATIGUE. As long as PeopleSoft's board won't budge, Oracle still | |
| faces two more legal hurdles. A Delaware judge is expected to rule within | |
| the next few weeks concerning whether PeopleSoft must repeal a | |
| customer-rebate program that could cost Oracle an additional $2.4 billion | |
| if it gets stuck with this bill in the takeover. | |
| PeopleSoft has also sued Oracle for $2 billion, accusing the Silicon Valley | |
| database-software giant of intentionally interfering with PeopleSoft's | |
| business. That trial is expected to start in January in Oakland. | |
| The endless legal wrangling is enough to tire even the most ardent of | |
| software-industry pundits. "At this point, I'm weary of the whole thing," | |
| says Jim Shephard, vice-president at Boston-based AMR Research. "I frankly | |
| would like it to be resolved one way or another." | |
| NOT A SOFT TARGET. It will. But for Oracle CEO Larry Ellison to get his | |
| way, he may have to raise his price. And cash-rich Oracle can afford to go | |
| up to the high-$20s per share, Neil Herman, a Lehman Brothers analyst, said | |
| in an Oct. 26 research report. | |
| That is, if Ellison really wants to. A debate has always raged over whether | |
| Ellison wants to acquire PeopleSoft as a way to dismantle a rival or to | |
| complement his empire. The controversy was renewed when PeopleSoft on Oct. | |
| 1 fired its chief executive, Craig Conway, and reinstated founder Dave | |
| Duffield to run the company. | |
| For days after the ouster, investors tried to figure out whether Duffield's | |
| return meant PeopleSoft was ready to begin negotiating with Oracle or was | |
| still battling Oracle's takeover. But in the end, it appeared that Oracle's | |
| overtures continue to be rejected (see BW Online, 10/6/04, "No White Flag | |
| Flying at People Soft"). | |
| "TOUGHER COMPETITOR." While testifying in the Delaware trial, Ellison | |
