1 An aggregate of 47,421,630 shares of Siebel Systems, Inc. (“Issuer”) common stock are subject to an agreement dated September 12, 2005 (the “Voting Agreement”) entered into by Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”), Thomas Siebel, Siebel Living Trust, Siebel Asset Management, L.P. and Siebel Asset Management III, L.P. (discussed in Items 3 and 4 below). Oracle expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Issuer common stock covered by the Voting Agreement. Based on the number of shares of Issuer common stock outstanding as of September 9, 2005 (as represented by Issuer in the Merger Agreement discussed in Items 3 and 4), the number of shares of Issuer common stock covered by the Voting Agreement represents approximately 8.8% of the outstanding Issuer common stock.

 

[*SEE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FILLING OUT!]


Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Siebel Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Issuer”). The principal executive office of Issuer is located at 2207 Bridgepointe Parkway, San Mateo, California 94404.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

This statement is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by Oracle Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Oracle”). The address of the principal business and the principal office of Oracle is 500 Oracle Parkway, Redwood City, California 94065. Oracle is the world’s largest enterprise software company. Oracle develops, manufactures, markets, distributes, and services database and middleware software as well as applications software designed to help its customers manage and grow their business operations.

 

The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer (including a director and officer who may be a controlling person) of Oracle is set forth on Schedule A.

 

During the last five years, none of Oracle, and to the knowledge of Oracle, any of the persons listed on Schedule A attached hereto, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

On September 12, 2005, Issuer, Oracle, Ozark Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle (“Parent”), Ozark Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Ozark Merger Sub”), and Sierra Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sierra Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein, Sierra Merger Sub will merge with and into Issuer (the “Siebel Merger”) and Ozark Merger Sub will merge with and into Oracle (the “Oracle Merger” and together with the Sierra Merger, the “Mergers”).

 

As an inducement to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration thereof, Oracle entered into an agreement with Thomas Siebel, Siebel Living Trust, Siebel Asset Management, L.P. and Siebel Asset Management III, L.P. (each a “Stockholder”), dated as of the date of the Merger Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each Stockholder has agreed that at any meeting of the stockholders of Issuer called to vote upon the Siebel Merger and the Merger Agreement, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval with respect to the Mergers and the Merger Agreement is sought, such Stockholder will vote (or cause to be voted) its beneficially held Shares in favor of the adoption by Issuer of the Siebel Merger and the approval of the Merger Agreement and each of the transactions contemplated thereby. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Mr. Siebel has also agreed to provide consulting services to Oracle following the Mergers through April 30, 2008.

 

The proposed transaction is valued at approximately $5.85 billion (based on a fully-diluted equity value). Oracle expects to fund the consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement using Siebel’s cash on hand and through Oracle’s internally available cash and securities, cash generated from operations and borrowings from third parties.

 

Page 3 of 9 Pages


Shared voting power with respect to the Shares owned by the Stockholders was acquired through execution of the Voting Agreement. Oracle has not expended any funds in connection with the execution of the Voting Agreement.

 

Schedule B attached hereto contains the names and number of Shares beneficially held by each Stockholder.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. A copy of the Merger Agreement, listed as Exhibit 1 hereto, is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 1.1 to Oracle’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 15, 2005. A copy of the Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

As described in Item 3 above, this statement is being filed in connection with the Voting Agreement among Oracle, Thomas Siebel and the other Stockholders party thereto in connection with the Mergers and the related Merger Agreement.

 

Upon the consummation of the Mergers, (i) Issuer will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and (ii) each Share will be converted into the right to receive $10.66 in cash or Parent common stock, subject to certain exceptions more fully described in the Merger Agreement. In addition, options to acquire Shares and Issuer restricted stock awards outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers will, upon consummation of the Mergers, be converted into options to acquire shares of Parent common stock based on formulas contained in the Merger Agreement.

 

From and after the effective time of the Siebel Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Safra A. Catz and Daniel Cooperman, the directors of Sierra Merger Sub, will serve as directors of Issuer until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable law, (ii) the officers of Siebel immediately prior to the effective time of the Siebel Merger will be the officers of Siebel until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable law and (iii) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Sierra Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Siebel Merger will be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Issuer.

 

Following the Mergers, the Shares will no longer be traded on the Nasdaq and registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act will be terminated.

 

Except as set forth in this Statement and in connection with the Mergers described above, Oracle has no plan or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) and (b) Other than those Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned in connection with the Voting Agreement, Oracle has acquired and, for the purposes of Rule 13d-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act, beneficially owns (with sole right to vote and to dispose of) 1 Share, representing less than 0.1% of the outstanding Shares.

 

As a result of the Voting Agreement, Oracle may be deemed to have the power to vote up to an additional 47,421,630 Shares (of which 11,186,134 Shares represent options to purchase Shares exercisable within 60 days of September 12, 2005) in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement, and thus, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Oracle may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 47,421,631 Shares. All Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Oracle constitute approximately 8.8% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of September 12, 2005 (as represented by Issuer in the Merger Agreement).

 

Page 4 of 9 Pages


Oracle (i) is not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Issuer as to the Shares covered by the Voting Agreement and (ii) disclaims all beneficial ownership of such Shares.

 

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of Oracle, and, to the knowledge of Oracle, any persons named in Schedule A hereto owns beneficially any Shares.

 

(c) Except for the agreements described above, to the knowledge of Oracle, no transactions in the class of securities reported have been effected during the past 60 days by any person named in Schedule A or Item 5(a).

 

(d) To the knowledge of Oracle, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of Issuer reported herein.

 

(e) Inapplicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Except for the agreements described above, to the knowledge of Oracle, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, between the persons enumerated in Item 2, and any other person, with respect to any securities of Issuer, including any securities pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities other than standard default and similar provisions contained in loan agreements.

WHEREAS, each Stockholder owns the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Siebel Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) (including any common stock into which such common stock may be converted or exchanged after the date hereof, the “Siebel Stock”) set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A hereto (such shares of Siebel Stock, together with any other shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by any Stockholder after the date hereof and during the term of this Agreement, being collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Shares”);

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Oracle, the Company, Ozark Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned Subsidiary of Oracle (“Parent’), Ozark Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Ozark Merger Sub”), and Sierra Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Sierra Merger Sub”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of Ozark Merger Sub with and into Oracle (the “Oracle Merger”) and, immediately thereafter, the merger of Sierra Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Siebel Merger” and, together with the Oracle Merger, the “Mergers”), in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth therein;

 

WHEREAS, in consideration of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders agree to the voting agreements set forth below, and Chairman Stockholder agrees to provide the consulting services as set forth in Section 7;

 

WHEREAS, in consideration of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Chairman Stockholder’s position with the Company and Chairman Stockholder’s contributions in the past to the growth and development of the Company, and for the purpose of preserving, for Oracle’s and its Affiliates’ benefit, the goodwill, proprietary rights and going concern value of the Company, and to protect Oracle’s, the Company’s and their respective Affiliates’ business opportunities, Oracle considers this Agreement integral to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

 

1


WHEREAS, Parent and Chairman Stockholder agree that Chairman Stockholder has a substantial interest in the Company and the restrictive covenants as set forth in Section 8 and Section 9 are reasonable and necessary to ensure that the value of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates is not diminished upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

If such Stockholder is a trust, no consent of any beneficiary is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(b) No Conflicts.

Such Stockholder does not own, of record or beneficially, any shares of capital stock of the Company other than the Subject Shares set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A hereto. Such Stockholder has the sole right to vote, or to dispose, of such Subject Shares, and none of such Subject Shares is subject to any agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms hereof will violate, conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of, the certificate of incorporation of Oracle, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, notice, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Oracle or to Oracle’s property or assets.

(b) At any meeting of Stockholders of the Company or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval of all or some of the Stockholders of the Company is sought, each Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) its Subject Shares against (i) any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Siebel Merger), consolidation, combination, sale or transfer of a material amount of assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by the Company or any Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) any amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other proposal or transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal or transaction would in any manner delay, impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Siebel Merger, the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of Siebel Stock. Each Stockholder further agrees not to commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

 

(c) Except as provided in Section 4(d), each Stockholder agrees not to, directly or indirectly, (i) Transfer or enter into any agreement, option or other arrangement (including any profit sharing arrangement) with respect to the Transfer of, any Subject Shares to any Person, other than in accordance with the Merger Agreement or (ii) grant any proxies, deposit any Subject Shares into any voting trust or enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, with respect to the Subject Shares, other than pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to Section 4(d), each Stockholder further agrees not to commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions.

 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer its Subject Shares (i) in open market transactions in accordance with such Stockholder’s past practices over the 12 months prior to the date of this Agreement or (ii) to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in this Section 4(d)) of such Stockholder if and only if such Permitted Transferee shall have agreed in writing, in a manner acceptable in form and substance to Oracle, (x) to accept such Subject Shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (y) to be bound by this Agreement and to agree and acknowledge that such Person shall constitute a Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement. “Permitted Transferee” means, with respect to any Stockholder, (A) any other Stockholder, (B) a spouse or lineal descendant (whether natural or adopted), sibling, parent, heir, executor, administrator, testamentary trustee, lifetime trustee or legatee of such Stockholder, (C) any charitable organization described in Section 170(c) of the Code, (D) any trust, the trustees of which include only the Persons named in clause (A) or (B) and the beneficiaries of which include only the Persons named in clause (A), (B) or (C), (E) any corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the stockholders, members or general or limited partners of which include only the Persons named in clause (A) or (B), or (F) if such Stockholder is a trust, the beneficiary or beneficiaries authorized or entitled to receive distributions from such trust.

 

4


Section 5. Stockholder Capacity. No Person executing this Agreement who is or becomes during the term hereof a director or officer of the Company shall be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Person’s capacity as a director or officer. Each Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record holder or beneficial owner of, or the trustee of a trust whose beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of, such Stockholder’s Subject Shares and nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken by a Stockholder in its capacity as a director or officer of the Company to the extent specifically permitted by the Merger Agreement or following the termination of the Merger Agreement.

 

Section 6. Representative.

 

(a) Each Stockholder hereby designates and appoints (and each permitted Transferee of each such Stockholder is hereby deemed to have so designated and appointed) Chairman Stockholder (the “Representative”), as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, to serve as the representative of such Stockholder to perform all such acts as are required, authorized or contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by such Stockholder (including the voting of the Subject Shares in accordance with Sections 4(a) and 4(b)), and hereby acknowledges that the Representative shall be authorized to take any action so required, authorized or contemplated by this Agreement. Each such Stockholder further acknowledges that the foregoing appointment and designation shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall survive the death or incapacity of such Stockholder. Each such Stockholder hereby authorizes (and each such Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder shall be deemed to have authorized) the other parties hereto to disregard any notices or other action taken by such Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement, except for notices and actions taken by the Representative. Oracle is and will be entitled to rely on any action so taken or any notice given by the Representative and is and will be entitled and authorized to give notices only to the Representative for any notice contemplated by this Agreement to be given to any such Stockholder. A successor to the Representative may be chosen by a majority in interest of the Stockholders; provided that notice thereof is given by the new Representative to Oracle.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the generality of Section 6(a), each Stockholder hereby constitutes and appoints the Representative with full power of substitution, as the proxy pursuant to the provisions of Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and attorney of such Stockholder, and hereby authorizes and empowers the Representative to represent, vote and otherwise act (by voting at any meeting of the Stockholders of the Company, by written consent in lieu thereof or otherwise) with respect to the Subject Shares owned or held by such Stockholder regarding the matters referred to in Sections 4(a) and 4(b) until the termination of this Agreement, to the same extent and with the same effect as

such Stockholder might or could do under applicable law, rules and regulations. The proxy granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Each Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney granted with respect to any of the Subject Shares owned or held by such Stockholder regarding the matters referred to in Sections 4(a) and 4(b).

 

Section 7. Consulting Services.

 

(a) Chairman Stockholder agrees to be available to provide consulting services to Oracle and its Affiliates and to render such advice and services to Oracle and its Affiliates as may be reasonably required by Oracle or any of its Affiliates during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending April 30, 2008, which period may be extended by mutual agreement of Oracle and Chairman Stockholder. The initial period and any extensions thereof shall constitute the “Consulting Term”.

 

(b) Chairman Stockholder shall be reimbursed in accordance with the policies of Oracle for necessary and reasonable business expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties as a consultant.

 

(c) During the Consulting Term, Chairman Stockholder’s options to purchase common stock of the Company, which will be converted into options to purchase common stock of Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

 

Section 8. Non-Competition. During the Consulting Term, in order to protect the confidentiality of the Company’s proprietary information and in recognition of the highly competitive nature of the industries in which the Company and its Affiliates conduct their businesses, and to protect Oracle’s, the Company’s and their respective Affiliates’ business opportunities, Chairman Stockholder agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly (i) engage in, whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, proprietor, partner, officer, director or otherwise, or have any ownership interest in (except for ownership of one percent (1%) or less of any publicly-held entity), or participate in or facilitate the financing, operation, management or control of, any firm partnership, corporation, entity or business that engages or participates in a Competing Business Purpose (as defined below); (ii) assist any firm partnership, corporation, entity or business in developing, establishing, or engaging or participating in, a Competing Business Purpose; or (iii) interfere with the business of Oracle or any of its Affiliates, or approach, contact or solicit Oracle’s, or any of its Affiliates’ customers in connection with a Competing Business Purpose. “Competing Business Purpose” means any business which is competitive in any way with the business of the Company and its Affiliates as conducted as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 9. Confidentiality. During and after the Consulting Term Chairman Stockholder shall not disclose, except as may be required by law, or use for his own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise other than Oracle and its Affiliates, any trade secrets or other confidential information or data relating to customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing processes, financing methods, plans, or the business and affairs of Oracle and its Affiliates generally; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to information that is not unique to Oracle or its Affiliates or which is generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of his breach of this covenant.

 

Section 10. Specific Performance.

 

(a) Chairman Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that Oracle’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Sections 7 through 9 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Chairman Stockholder agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, without posing any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

 

(b) Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that (i) the covenants, obligations and agreements of such Stockholder contained in this Agreement relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters, (ii) Oracle and its Affiliates are and will be relying on such covenants in connection with entering into the Merger Agreement and the performance of their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement and (iii) a violation of any of the terms of such covenants, obligations or agreements will cause Oracle irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, each Stockholder agrees that Oracle shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain such Stockholder from committing any violation of such covenants, obligations or agreements. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies Oracle may have.

 

Section 11. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the end of the Consulting Term unless earlier terminated upon the termination of the Merger Agreement, except that Sections 7 through 10 will survive as necessary to give effect to them. No party hereto shall be relieved from any liability for breach of this Agreement by reason of any such termination.

Section 12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

 

Section 13. Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any Delaware state court, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 17 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

 

Section 14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

Section 15. Amendment, Waivers, Etc. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended or otherwise modified other than by an instrument in writing signed by Oracle and the Representative. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, discharged or terminated other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

 

Section 16. Assignment; Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by a party without the prior consent of the other parties, and any attempt to so assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement without such consent shall be void and of no effect; provided that (i) any Permitted Transferee acquiring any Subject Shares in accordance with Section 4(d) shall, upon the delivery of the documents contemplated by Section 4(d), become a “Stockholder”, and (ii) Oracle may, in its sole discretion, assign or transfer all or any of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle. This Agreement shall be binding upon the respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties hereto and their heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
