Oracle Corporation (ORCL) filed an 8-K on July 6, 2021, reporting a significant amendment to performance stock options (PSOs) granted in 2017 to key executives, Chairman Larry Ellison and CEO Safra Catz. The amendment extends the performance period of these PSOs by three additional fiscal years, from May 31, 2022, to May 31, 2025.
