Safe Harbor for Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain items in this Current Report on Form 8-K may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involved certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the ability to complete the Merger in light of the various closing conditions, including those conditions related to regulatory approvals, the ability of the parties to consummate the Merger; the impact of the announcement or the closing of the Merger on Phase Forward’s relationships with its employees, existing customers or potential future customers; the ability of Oracle to successfully integrate Phase Forward’s operations and employees; the ability to realize anticipated synergies and costs savings of the proposed Merger; and such other risks detailed in the Phase Forward’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2010 and other reports filed with the SEC. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Phase Forward assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On June 23, 2010, Phase Forward issued a press release announcing that it received stockholder approval for the previously announced Merger Agreement among Phase Forward, Oracle and Merger Subsidiary.  In addition, Phase Forward announced the dismissal of the stockholder action Selma Ehrlich, et al. v. Phase Forward Incorporated, et al., Civ. A. No. 10-1463, which was originally filed on April 20, 2010 and amended on May 20, 2010.  The action alleged that the Phase Forward board of directors breached its fiduciary duties, and that Phase Forward and Oracle aided and abetted the purported breaches, in connection with the proposed merger.  The action sought equitable relief to, among other things, enjoin consummation of the proposed merger. After a hearing held before the Superior Court for Middlesex County, Massachusetts, the court issued written decisions dated June 21, 2010 allowing the defendants’ motions to dismiss the complaint and denying the plaintiffs’ request for injunctive relief.  A copy of this press release is attached as to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
