Oracle Threatens to Pull BEA Bid - WSJ.com

The game continues...

Oracle Corp. told BEA Systems Inc. its $6.7 billion takeover offer will expire Sunday if the software company doesn't agree to a deal or put the bid to a shareholder vote.

The offer, made public 10 days ago, values BEA at $17 a share, a 25% premium to the company's share price the day before Oracle disclosed the bid. At the time, BEA rebuffed the offer, saying it significantly undervalued the business software provider.
