Item 8.01 Other Events

Oracle Corporation is hereby furnishing the following information:

On June 26, 2009, Oracle Corporation issued the following statement, attributable to Dan Wall of Latham & Watkins, counsel to Oracle:

"We've had a very good dialogue with the Department of Justice and we were almost able to resolve everything before the Second Request deadline. All that's left is one narrow issue about the way rights to Java are licensed that is never going to get in the way of the deal. I fully expect that the investigation will end soon and not delay the closing of the deal this summer."

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements about Oracle and Sun Microsystems, Inc., including statements that involve risks and uncertainties concerning Oracle's proposed acquisition of Sun and the timing of the closing of this transaction. When used in this document, the words "going to", "can", "want", "will", "expect", similar expressions and any other statements that are not historical facts are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. Any such statement may be influenced by a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Oracle or Sun, that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected, described, expressed or implied in this document due to a number of risks and uncertainties. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, the possibility that the transaction will not close or that the closing may be delayed, the anticipated synergies of the combined companies may not be achieved after closing, the combined operations may not be successfully integrated in a timely manner, if at all, general economic conditions in regions in which either company does business, and the possibility that Oracle or Sun may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on the results of operations or financial condition of Oracle or Sun.

In addition, please refer to the documents that Oracle and Sun, respectively, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These filings identify and address other important factors that could cause actual events to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements set forth in this document. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date set forth above. Neither Oracle nor Sun is under any duty to update any of the information in this document.
