Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 23, 2010, Phase Forward issued a press release announcing that it received stockholder approval for the previously announced Merger Agreement among Phase Forward, Oracle and Merger Subsidiary. In addition, Phase Forward announced the dismissal of the stockholder action Selma Ehrlich, et al. v. Phase Forward Incorporated, et al., Civ. A. No. 10-1463, which was originally filed on April 20, 2010 and amended on May 20, 2010. The action alleged that the Phase Forward board of directors breached its fiduciary duties, and that Phase Forward and Oracle aided and abetted the purported breaches, in connection with the proposed merger. The action sought equitable relief to, among other things, enjoin consummation of the proposed merger. After a hearing held before the Superior Court for Middlesex County, Massachusetts, the court issued written decisions dated June 21, 2010 allowing the defendants’ motions to dismiss the complaint and denying the plaintiffs’ request for injunctive relief. A copy of this press release is attached as to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
