RECENT EVENTS: DEREGISTRATION
The Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-86103) (the “Registration Statement”) of PeopleSoft, Inc. (“PeopleSoft”), pertaining to the registration of certain shares of PeopleSoft’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“PeopleSoft Common Stock”), issuable to eligible employees of the Registrant under the Distinction Software, Inc. Stock Option Plan, to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 1999.
PeopleSoft, Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) and Pepper Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle (the “Purchaser”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 12, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Purchaser would be merged with and into PeopleSoft, PeopleSoft would survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle and each outstanding share of PeopleSoft Common Stock (and the associated preferred stock purchase rights) would be converted into the right to receive $26.50 in cash (the “Merger”).
On January 6, 2005, Purchaser acquired over 90% of the outstanding PeopleSoft Common Stock, and, subsequently, effected the Merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Merger became effective as specified in a Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January7, 2005 (the “Merger Date”).
As a result of the Merger, PeopleSoft has terminated all offerings of PeopleSoft Common Stock pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by PeopleSoft in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, PeopleSoft hereby removes from registration all shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold as of the Merger Date.
