Oracle
Oracle's $109 per share offer is at a 19% premium to Netsuite's Wednesday close.
"Oracle and NetSuite cloud applications are complementary, and will coexist in the marketplace forever," Oracle CEO Mark Hurd said in a statement. "We intend to invest heavily in both products - engineering and distribution."
Oracle's cofounder, executive chairman, and chief technology officer, Larry Ellison, holds a roughly 45% share in NetSuite together with his family, according to Bloomberg.
The deal is expected to close later this year, pending shareholder and regulatory approval.
