Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 2, 2026, Oracle Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Oracle”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, pursuant to which Oracle agreed to issue and sell 100,000,000 depositary shares (the “Depositary Shares”), each representing a 1/2,000th interest in a share of Oracle’s 6.50% Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, liquidation preference $100,000.00 per share, par value $0.01 per share (the “Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock” and such offering, the “Depositary Shares Offering”).

The Depositary Shares Offering closed on February 5, 2026. The Depositary Shares Offering was made pursuant to Oracle’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-277990) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2024, a base prospectus amended and restated as of February 2, 2026 pursuant to post-effective amendment no. 1 filed with the SEC on February 2, 2026 included as part of the Registration Statement, and a prospectus supplement dated February 2, 2026 filed with the SEC on February 4, 2026.

In connection with the Depositary Shares Offering, Oracle filed a certificate of designations (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, including a form of certificate for the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Form of Certificate”), to establish the preferences, limitations, and relative special rights of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designations became effective upon filing.

In connection with the Depositary Shares Offering, Oracle entered into a deposit agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”) dated February 5, 2026 by and among Oracle, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, as bank depositary (the “Depositary”), and the holders from time to time of depositary receipts for Depositary Shares (the “Depositary Receipts”), a form of which is included therein (the “Form of Depositary Receipt”). The Deposit Agreement provides for the deposit of shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock from time to time with the Depositary and for the issuance thereunder of Depositary Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares in respect of the deposited Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Certificate of Designations, Form of Certificate, Deposit Agreement and Form of Depositary Receipt are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, Certificate of Designations, Form of Certificate, Deposit Agreement and Form of Depositary Receipt, a copy of each of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1, 3.1, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Depositary Shares Offering, the legal opinion as to the legality of the Depositary Shares sold in the Depositary Shares Offering and the Preferred Stock underlying such Depositary Shares is being filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein and into the Registration Statement by reference.

Section 3—Securities and Trading Markets

 

Item 3.03

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

On February 5, 2026, Oracle filed the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to establish the preferences, limitations and relative special rights of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designations became effective upon filing.

Subject to certain exceptions, so long as any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution will be declared or paid on shares of Oracle’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), or any other shares of junior stock, and no Common Stock or other junior stock or parity stock will be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company or any of its subsidiaries unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid upon, or a sufficient sum or number of shares of Common Stock have been set apart for the payment of such dividends upon, all outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

Holders of the Depositary Shares will be entitled to a proportional fractional interest in the rights and preferences of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including conversion, dividend, liquidation and voting rights, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate dividends (which may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common Stock or in any combination of cash and Common Stock) at an annual

 


rate of 6.50% on the liquidation preference thereof, which is $100,000 per share, payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of Oracle, or an authorized committee thereof, on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on, and including, April 15, 2026 and ending on, and including, January 15, 2029. Unless earlier converted, each outstanding share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert on the second business day immediately following the last trading day of the Final Averaging Period (as defined below) into between 499.8126 and 624.7657 shares of Common Stock (and, correspondingly, each Depositary Share will automatically convert into between 0.2499 and 0.3124 shares of Common Stock), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion will be determined based on the average volume-weighted average price of a share of Common Stock over the 20 consecutive trading-day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day prior to January 15, 2029 (the “Final Averaging Period”). Other than during a fundamental change conversion period (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), at any time prior to the mandatory conversion settlement date, a holder of 2,000 Depositary Shares may cause the Depositary to convert one share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, on such holder’s behalf, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the minimum conversion rate of 499.8126, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments.

In addition, in the event of Oracle’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, each holder of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference in the amount of $100,000 per share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends on the shares to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation, winding-up or dissolution to be paid out of Oracle’s assets available for distribution to its stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities owed to Oracle’s creditors and holders of any senior stock and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of junior stock, including the Common Stock.
