LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/RMNI?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#RMNIlt;/agt;–Rimini
Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of enterprise
software products and services, and the leading third-party support
provider for Oracle and SAP software products, today issued the
following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Rimini
Street v. Oracle:

“Today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision of national
significance in copyright law, reversing earlier decisions by lower
courts and ruling that Oracle must return $12.8 million in non-taxable
expenses (plus interest) that Rimini Street paid to Oracle in 2016. This
refund is in addition to the $21.5 million that Oracle previously
returned to Rimini Street, following a decision by the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals on Rimini Street’s appeal of the judgment in the Oracle
v. Rimini Street case. The decision resolves a nationwide split
among federal appellate courts about the proper measure of costs in
copyright litigation.

Today’s ruling corrects another significant legal error in the Oracle
v. Rimini Street case that was tried in 2015. Oracle ultimately lost
23 out of its 24 claims that were brought in the suit, and Rimini Street
was found liable only for “innocent” copyright infringement. Rimini
Street CEO, Seth A. Ravin, was exonerated on all claims.

‘We are pleased with this latest victory in the highest Court, and look
forward to continuing our fierce competition with Oracle in the
marketplace by providing the best enterprise software support service
and value for Oracle licensees worldwide,’ said Ravin.

Rimini Street continues to aggressively pursue its pending appeal in the
U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to recover an additional $28.5
million from Oracle, among other requested relief.”

Mark A. Perry of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, who argued the case for
Rimini Street in the Supreme Court, added: “The Supreme Court
unanimously agreed with the structural, grammatical, and historical
arguments that we advanced on behalf of Rimini Street, and rejected the
contrary positions put forth by Oracle. The Court brought cost awards
under the Copyright Act back into line with hundreds of other federal
statutes.”
