Bondholders sued Oracle on Jan. 14, alleging false and misleading statements in offering documents for an $18 billion debt sale that closed Sept. 25. Plaintiffs say the sale followed Oracle's announcement of a five-year, $300 billion OpenAI cloud contract and that Oracle's subsequent $38 billion borrowing plan seven weeks later depressed bond prices and raised credit concerns. The suit seeks unspecified damages.
