) on Friday, June 30, 2006. Portal's Board of Directors and Executive Team recommend and encourage stockholders to tender their shares immediately. Oracle will accept for payment and promptly pay for Portal Software shares as they are tendered. Stockholders who tender shares during such period will be paid the same $4.90 per share cash consideration paid during the initial offering period. Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn. Shareholders needing assistance should contact MacKenzie Partners at (800) 322-2885 or (212) 929-5500.

On June 21, 2006, Oracle has accepted for purchase approximately 32.0 million shares or approximately 74 percent of Portal Software's outstanding stock. By accepting for payment all shares tendered in the offer, Oracle assumed ownership of Portal. Portal's management and employees will form a dedicated global communications business unit within Oracle concentrating on billing and revenue management.

"With over 74% of the shares tendered and accepted, the acquisition of Portal Software is inevitable," said Oracle spokesperson Bob Wynne. "The question is simply whether we complete the transaction more quickly if additional shares are tendered, or go through a lengthier process involving a shareholder vote. Portal Software shareholders have until June 30 to tender, or face the possibility of several months before they will receive proceeds from the transaction."
