I am pleased to announce that Oracle has acquired certain assets of TripleHop Technologies, Inc. ("TripleHop"). With this acquisition, Oracle plans to incorporate select technologies from the TripleHop MatchPoint product into Oracle's search products, and the TripleHop development team will join Oracle's development organization. We'd like to take this opportunity to pledge our continued commitment to the success of your business and outline some of the benefits we expect our acquisition to deliver.

As organizations deal with more and more information, we believe that search is a key technology not only for higher productivity but also for making better decisions. The TripleHop team has built an innovative search solution, while Oracle has focused on developing a robust platform on which such solutions might be hosted. Through a combination of the talents of both organizations, our customers will benefit from superior functionality on a more robust platform, drawing on greater scale and expertise and enabling us to accelerate and deliver leading search solutions for your business.

As always, our primary goal is 100% customer satisfaction. You will see continuity of service across both TripleHop MatchPoint and Oracle offerings for the near future. Over time, we intend to merge the technologies into a common product, and we plan to communicate to you the detailed timeline for this process. We also plan to offer you a product roadmap outlining our joint vision for the future of search. Finally, you will also have a greater opportunity to more easily leverage our joint product offerings and draw on Oracle's traditional strength and leadership in infrastructure, which will lead to lower overall total cost of ownership.

To address your ongoing needs, we encourage you to continue using your existing contacts by phone or by email for support, professional services, and sales. TripleHop's support and development teams will be available and will continue to deliver the quality of service and solutions you've come to expect. These teams will now be backed by Oracle's development and support organizations with 6,000 support professionals worldwide, and more than 13,000 developers dedicated to building the most innovative solutions in the market.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Andy Mendelsohn
Senior Vice President, Database Server Technologies
