Oracle offered $ 109 per share in cash, which is at 19% premium of NetSuite’s closing price of $91.57 on Wednesday, July 27, 2016.

Cloud Focus

Oracle which has been offering its software products to large corporations globally had been gradually shifting towards cloud based products. Cloud based products account for nearly 8% of Oracle’s overall revenues for 2015. As demand for its older products lose sheen, this move will help Oracle face competition head-on.

San Mateo, California based NetSuite was founded in 1998 and pioneered the cloud computing revolution by becoming the first company to deliver business applications over the internet. NetSuite’s current market capitalization is $7.37 billion before the deal was announced.

Oracle and NetSuite both offer enterprise-resource planning (ERP) software solutions to its clients which helps them automate backend and administrative operations from technology to human resources. Cloud computing space has become competitive as demand increases exponentially. The buying of NetSuite has been Oracle’s sixth acquisition in the current year in a bid to increase its competitiveness in the cloud space. Oracle’s acquisitions in 2016 include enterprise company Ravello Systems in February, construction industry software maker Textura in April, and utility software maker Opower in May. Oracle’s direct competitors in the cloud-based services market are Salesforce, Workday, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Deal reunites former colleagues and friends

The deal also brings together Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Oracle Larry Ellison and NetSuite’s chief executive, Zach Nelson, who worked together for Oracle’s global marketing from 1996 to 1998. Incidentally, as per the annual proxy statement filed in April 2016, entities owned by Larry Ellison and his family are the largest investors in NetSuite holding 40% of its shares.

Oracle CEO, Mark Hurd, said: “Oracle and NetSuite cloud applications are complementary, and will coexist in the marketplace forever. We intend to invest heavily in both products—engineering and distribution.”

“NetSuite will benefit from Oracle’s global scale and reach to accelerate the availability of our cloud solutions in more industries and more countries,” said Zach Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of NetSuite, “We are excited to join Oracle and accelerate our pace of innovation.”

Potential Conflict of interest

Analysts close to the deal feel that as Larry Ellison has controlling interest in both Oracle and NetSuite, it raises questions about potential of conflicts of interest. Press release issued by Oracle did not address this point, however, it mentioned that the deal would be finalised only if a majority of NetSuite’s shares not owned by Mr. Ellison and his family approve the deal. The approval from other shareholders may be given as Oracle’s offer is quite generous and is nearly nine times the next 12 months’ projected revenue.

Stock Performance

Share prices for Oracle was up 0.64%, closing the trading session at $ 41.19. Oracle’s stock has gained 14.06% since the beginning of the year.

NetSuite on Thursday, July 28, 2016 reported strong second-quarter results with revenue up 30% to $230.8 million. Its shares closed the trading session up by 18.39% trading at very close to the deal price at $ 108.41. NetSuite’s stock has jumped 28.11% on a year to day basis.

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2016 / Active Wall St. blog coverage looks at the headline from the Italian-US auto maker Fiat Chrysler (NYSE: FCAU) as the company plans to stop making small cars in the US by early 2017.

In order to focus on the production of bigger and popular vehicles, Fiat Chrysler, the seventh-largest automaker in the world, plans to stop manufacturing small cars in America by early 2017, especially the Dodge Dart compact and Chrysler 200.

The Decision

On July 26, 2016, Fiat Chrysler announced that it plans to spend $1.49 billion to equip its Sterling Heights, Michigan assembly plant to make the Ram 1500, which will move from its current plant in Warren when production begins in 2018. The firm’s remaining car models will be produced in Mexico, Canada, and other foreign destinations. The company also plans to move production of the replacement for the Jeep Compass and Patriot to Mexico.

Closing the gap with competitors

According to Fiat Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, as a part of the company’s future plans to match competitors – Ford Motor and General Motors – and to increase profit margins, the plants assembling units in the U.S will now be equipped for manufacturing Ram picks ups and Jeep SUV’s that are currently in huge demand and reap more profit margins for the company.

Interestingly, in June 2016, the firm’s Jeep sales rose to 17%, while the highly publicised during their launch — Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 failed to capture the market. During the first six months of 2016, SUVs and trucks sales jumped by 9%, while automobile sales slumped 8%. Of the new car buyers, 58% preferred trucks and SUVs.

Profits and expectations

Fiat Chrysler, in its Q2 FY16 earnings on July 27, 2016, posted net profit of US$253 million, a 25% jump over the same period in 2015, however their total revenue dropped 2% to US$30.68 billion. Meanwhile, General Motors claims that their earnings more than doubled in the second quarter to $2.9 billion.

“By the time we finish with this, hopefully, all of our production assets in the United States — if you exclude Canada and Mexico from the fold — all those US plants will be producing either Jeeps or Ram. I think our biggest task now is to close the operating margin gap with our competitors. That remains a permanent fixation that we have inside the house,” Marchionne said on July 27, 2016.

Revamp plans

The company also plans to spend $1 billion to refurbish its plants in Toledo, Ohio, and Belvidere to create 1,000 new jobs and move production of the Jeep Cherokee from Ohio to Belvidere. Despite Fiat Chrysler’s decision to stop producing the Dart and Chrysler 200, Marchionne is looking for a partner who is ready to make those cars for them.

Stock Performance

On July 28, 2016, Fiat Chrysler’s shares tumbled 4.78% closing at $6.38 on volume of 9.68 million shares. The firm’s stock price has gained 5.28% in the past one month.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2016 / Gunpowder Capital Corp., (CSE: GPC), (FSE: YS6N) (the “Corporation” or “Gunpowder”) announced today that it has entered into various agreements to assist Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (OTCQB: FNHI).

Franchise Holdings International, Inc., (“FHI”) has engaged Gunpowder to assist in listing FHI’s common shares onto the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) and to provide inventory financing to its wholly owned subsidiary Truxmart Inc.

FHI will pay $12,500 to Gunpowder to manage, and to assist with the listing of FHI common shares on the CSE. Upon successful completion of the CSE listing, FHI will issue 3.5 million common shares to Gunpowder. Gunpowder plans to dividend out 1 million of these shares to its common shareholders. It is anticipated that the CSE listing process will take 60 to 90 days to complete. Post CSE listing, and pending approval by the CSE, FHI will also appoint Paul Haber, the current CFO of Gunpowder Capital Corp., as Chairman of the Board of Directors of FHI.

Gunpowder has also agreed to provide inventory financing to FHI’s wholly owned subsidiary, Truxmart Inc., (“Truxmart”). Truxmart manufactures and sells a full range of after-market pickup truck tonneau covers. Gunpowder has agreed to loan up to $500,000 ($50,000 immediately, $450,000 post CSE listing subject to certain terms and conditions) to fund inventory purchases, and to support growth. The loan will bear interest at 18% (“eighteen percent”) per annum with interest payable monthly. Each advance will be due two years from the date it is issued.

The Magnetic Button will be Especially Useful for the Millions of Americans who Live with a Physical Disability like Arthritis

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2016 / David and Michael Puglia, a pair of brothers who grew up in New York, are pleased to announce the launch of The Magnetic Button. As David noted, the innovative and clever button will revolutionize the way people get dressed and undressed. To learn more about The Magnetic Button and how it is expected to make getting dressed much easier for millions of people, please visit https://goo.gl/QQfknq.

As David explained, he has first-hand knowledge about how a physical disability can make it difficult to get dressed. After falling ill about 17 years ago, he had to have a serious operation. Ever since then, David has had a numbness in his hands that makes it hard for him to do everyday tasks many people take for granted—including buttoning his shirts.

While David’s wife would usually help him with this task, the day came when David had to go out of town for business, and his wife wasn’t with him. Although he woke up three hours early to try to get dressed on time, he found that the top four buttons were all but impossible to get fastened. After feeling defeated and frustrated, David turned these feelings into determination and decided to invent something that would help him and others like him to button their own shirts.

“When I returned home, I grabbed an old tie tack, some glue, and I created my very first magnetic button,” David said, adding that he then told his brother Michael his idea, and together they have been working on perfecting The Magnetic Button for the past few years.

“We wanted to be sure it worked properly and that it replicated the appearance of a real button with the assistance of a magnetic snap. Now, our prototype is ready and we want to share it with everyone.”

To help pay for the production costs that are associated with The Magnetic Button, the Puglia brothers recently launched a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter. They hope to raise $20,000 through crowdfunding, and most importantly, to help people who struggle with getting dressed to feel confident and more independent.

“We want anyone and everyone who may have a disability, some trouble with their hands, or just needs a little help now and then, to take back their independence just like I have,” David said.

About The Magnetic Button:

The Magnetic Button’s main strength is its simplicity. Instead of requiring customers to buy new shirts or deal with complicated modifications, these Magnetic Buttons simply slide over the buttons on shirts that customers already own, making sure that personal style is never sacrificed in the name of comfort and accessibility.

The New Comedy Web Series Uncovers the Unfair Gender and Age Biases in Hollywood

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2016 / Executive Producer Dezera Page is pleased to announce the release of her new web series, Terms and Conditions. The new series tells the story of a feisty 65-year old woman who is intent on becoming a star.

To learn more about Terms and Conditions and see previews of the hilarious new series, check out https://goo.gl/7L5KsD.

The series tells the story of Barb, a salty retired divorcee from Brooklyn who finally decides to follow her dreams of making it big in Hollywood—despite the opinions of her kids.

As Page noted, she was inspired to help create and produce Terms of Conditions by her own experiences in the entertainment world. In the almost 20 years that she was on stage and in front of a camera, Page quickly realized there was a lack of roles with any depth for women and more so for women of color.

“So when my comedy partner and co-creator Jymmi Willoughby pitched the idea of writing a web series about following a 65-year-old woman aspiring to make it through all of the sexism and ageism in comedy and in Hollywood, I was intrigued,” Page said.

“The product of our passion is exemplified in this production, with our extremely diverse cast and mostly female crew. I think we send a loud and clear message. When you have diverse voices in charge, this is how to solve Hollywood’s big diversity problem.”

In order to help pay for the high costs associated with producing Terms and Conditions, Page and the rest of her team recently launched a fundraiser on Indiegogo. They hope to raise $5,000 through crowdfunding to help ensure that the new web series will have the quality content audiences need and deserve.

“The $5,000 we raise will pay for post production for season one, public relations and marketing and festivals,” Page noted, adding that any additional funds that are raised will go towards the production of season two.

About Terms and Conditions:

To reveal the ridiculous gender and age biases in Hollywood, “Terms and Conditions” follows an energetic and sassy 65-year-old woman, intent on becoming a star. She meets the adversity of Hollywood with unwavering persistence and good humor, while simultaneously dealing with her two children. The result is a brilliant satire of the prejudices and struggles of the times. For more information, please visit https://goo.gl/7L5KsD.

The Hand-Made and Attractive Porcelain Plates are Created to Resemble LP Records

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2016 /The founders of Mamado, an Italian company that is devoted to designing and producing iconic and attractive products, are pleased to announce the launch of their long plate series in the United States.

To check out the collection of porcelain longplates, which are designed to look like real LP record albums and have been a hit with the Italian marketplace since 2013, please visit https://goo.gl/JDNYPr.

As a spokesperson for Mamado noted, the appeal of the new longplates goes well beyond their obvious style. The hand-designed and hand-made plates are also personalizable, and they come in six designs that are meant to mirror the records from different musical genres.

“Finally, meals can be served with expressive possibilities of something as personal as your taste in music,” noted the spokesperson, adding that the dishwasher and microwave safe plates are also certified for food consumption.

The company’s founders were inspired to create the longplates after realizing how similar plates look to the record albums. They then took this knowledge and created a fully functional plate that has the appeal and look of an LP, right down to the color, graphic elements and even the grooves—which are true to the spirit of the first vinyl record launched in 1948.

“Each of the six designs is finished using a unique design relating to a music band that, with irony, winks at food,” noted the spokesperson, adding that the range is available in two sizes similar to the 45RPM and 33RPM formats, which are typical of vinyl records.

In order to help pay for the production costs of the longplates and to ensure that they are ready for delivery in time for Christmas, 2016, the founders of Mamado have recently launched a fundraiser on Kickstarter. They hope to raise $2,227 through crowdfunding to help bring as many of the plates to American shoppers as possible.

“We’d also love to share more about the professional and talented team behind this innovative plate design and share more information about the longplate project,” noted the spokesperson, adding that people may contact the creators through the Kickstarter website at any time.

About Longplates:

Longplates are the first-ever vinyl-inspired porcelain plates that were designed to look like actual record albums. Created by the Italian company Mamado, longplates are personalizable and make great gifts. For more information, please visit https://goo.gl/JDNYPr.

Like many other people, the team from Active Shapers wants to be in great shape. This inspired them to create and launch the new Heat Intensifying Clothing which is designed to help tone the body and encourage weight loss.

In order to help pay for some of the costs associated with the new Heat Intensifying Clothing, the team at Active Shapers recently launched a fundraiser on Indiegogo. They hope to raise 5,000 Pounds to produce as many workout tops and pants as possible. To ensure that every piece of Heat Intensifying Clothing is top-quality, they will also be tested rigorously for quality.

“We are on a mission and we strongly believe that it is important for everybody to be healthy and in a great shape,” the spokesperson said.

“To fulfill this mission of ours, we are constantly looking for new techniques and new products that are proven to bring great results.”
