Ellison's charitable settlement
Oracle's Larry Ellison has agreed to settle a shareholder derivative class action "for a $100 million donation in Oracle's name to a charity chosen by Mr. Ellison." Oracle will also pay $24 million to a team of plaintiff's lawyers led by Berman DeValerio Pease Tabacco Burt & Pucillo. Floyd Norris of the NYT wonders whether it's a great deal for the plaintiffs, or just for their lawyers. More: Christine Hurt and Larry Ribstein comment.
