MetaSolv, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSLV), a global leader in service fulfillment operations support system (OSS) solutions for next-generation communications service providers, has announced that Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL) has agreed to acquire MetaSolv through a cash merger for $4.10 per share, or approximately $219.2 million. The agreement is subject to stockholder and regulatory approval and is expected to close in late 2006 or early 2007.

MetaSolv offers communications service providers a comprehensive product set for OSS service fulfillment - including provisioning, network inventory and activation. MetaSolv’s standards-based solutions support all types of services including next-generation IMS, VoIP, IPTV, IP VPN, broadband and mobile services, as well as traditional voice and data services.

“This is an exciting chapter in our business’ evolution for MetaSolv customers, partners, stockholders, and employees, “said T. Curtis Holmes Jr., MetaSolv’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The natural synergies between Oracle’s and MetaSolv’s premier product suites, coupled with Oracle’s extensive research and development capacity, will enable us to further enhance our products and ensure our customers’ continued success. We believe it will be a very beneficial business combination that will drive service delivery innovation and leadership in the industry.”

“By adding a leading OSS application suite, Oracle plans to offer a fully integrated, end-to-end productized solution that will help service providers streamline the €˜campaign to cash’ process, optimize asset lifecycles, and accelerate time-to-market of new products and services,” said Bhaskar Gorti, Oracle Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Communications Global Business Unit. “Conventional, customized solutions have proven inefficient, inflexible and costly. Oracle is putting service providers in control to simplify their infrastructure, deliver more services faster, and drive brand loyalty.”

After the closing of the transaction, MetaSolv’s employees will join Oracle’s Communications Global Business Unit. Raymond James & Associates, Inc. acted as financial advisor to MetaSolv, and Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. acted as MetaSolv’s legal counsel.

The proposed merger will be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for their consideration and the Company will file with the SEC a proxy statement to be used by the Company to solicit the approval of the proposed merger by its stockholders, as well as other relevant documents concerning the proposed merger.
