(AP) – REDWOOD CITY, California-A judge on Tuesday approved an unusual legal settlement that will require Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison to donate $100 million to charity and pay another $22 million to the attorneys who sued him for alleged stock trading abuses – forcing Ellison to dig deeper into his pockets than he originally wanted.
Barring an appeal, the $122 million settlement finalized by San Mateo Superior Court Judge John Schwartz closes the books on a shareholder lawsuit filed nearly four years ago on behalf of Oracle, one of the world’s largest software makers.
The civil complaint revolves around a $900 million gain that Ellison generated by selling some of his Oracle stock shortly before the company’s shares plummeted in 2001.
