Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Loan Agreement and Guaranty

     On May 20, 2005, Oracle Technology Company (“OTC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”), entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (“ABN AMRO”); and Oracle entered into a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) for the benefit of ABN AMRO in which Oracle unconditionally guaranteed all obligations of OTC under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement provides for an unsecured $700,000,000 loan facility (the “Facility”) to OTC for general corporate purposes. On May 20, 2005, OTC borrowed the full $700,000,000 under the Facility. All amounts under the Facility are due 364 days from the date of the Loan Agreement. Interest is based on a LIBOR-based formula, and for the initial three-month period was 3.53%.

     The Loan Agreement and Guaranty contain certain customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default, including the requirement that the total net debt to total capitalization ratio of Oracle not exceed 40%. An event of default under the Guaranty constitutes an event of default under the Loan Agreement. If any of the events of default occur and are not cured within applicable grace periods or waived, ABN AMRO may, upon notice to OTC, cancel the Facility and declare any amounts under the Loan Agreement immediately due and payable.

     The description above is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the Loan Agreement and Guaranty, which are filed as Exhibits 10.23 and 10.24 to this report.

     ABN AMRO Bank N.V., or one or more of its affiliates or branches, is also a lender and agent under the $9,500,000,000 364-Day Term Loan Agreement dated December 28, 2004, among Oracle and the agents and lenders named therein, and a lender and agent under the $3,000,000,000 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement dated March 18, 2005 among Oracle and the agents and lenders named therein. ABN AMRO also provides Oracle and its subsidiaries with European cash management services.
