The Last Protest: Special Shareholders Meeting This Thursday

Yes! You too can behold the end of Sun Microsystems! On Thursday, July 16th, at 10AM a special shareholders meeting will take place at the Santa Clara campus. If you are a shareholder, come and wear black, as our beloved company officially ceases to exist.

All kidding aside, the meeting is a formality as everyone should have already voted via proxy (I did a couple weeks ago), but this is the moment in which the fate is set in stone. If you are, like myself, a Sun Microsystems loyalist with Sun purple blood in your veins, then this really is a historic moment you won’t want to miss out on.

  1. So, what did you vote for?

    I voted my shares AGAINST the deal.

  3. Alan Pae says:

    Wouldn’t it make more sense to hang Schwartz (Ok, possibly in effigy if you insist) and vote to keep Sun. Just curious.

  4. Dave says:

    At this point Sun is dead either way… long live Sun.

    The announcement of Oracle’s purchase along with some bone headed moves by “management” this past quarter, ensured dismal sales and profits.

    I think if Oracle really wanted to push the issue, a good case for breach of fiduciary responsibility could be made and if they were so inclined, call off the deal. Or barring that, Oracle could cancel some exit packages of some of the top executives.

    The King is Dead. Long live the King!
