Larry Ellison cancels plan to sell Oracle stock

Oracle Executive Chairman Larry Ellison secured billions of dollars through loans rather than selling 50 million shares of Oracle stock to finance his son David Ellison's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Instead of liquidating approximately $7.5 billion in holdings, Ellison used shares of Oracle, Tesla, SpaceX, and Skydance as collateral with five banks. Citigroup and JPMorgan expanded this collateral shortly before the October 6 transaction close. This financing strategy allowed Ellison to provide the capital needed for the massive media transaction while avoiding a direct stock sale.

  11. Larry Ellison Cancels Oracle Stock Sale Plan

    Oracle Executive Chairman Larry Ellison canceled a plan to sell up to 50 million company shares, valued at roughly $7.5 billion, according to a report publicized by Reuters on September 12, 2026.

  14. Larry Ellison cancels 50 million share Oracle sale

    Oracle Executive Chairman Larry Ellison canceled a trading plan to sell up to 50 million shares of company stock. The shares were valued at roughly $7.5 billion based on recent prices. The cancellation occurred one day after regulators made the plan public.
