This Amendment No. 8 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 19, 2022 by Cedar Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of OC Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Oracle”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Cerner Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Cerner”), at a purchase price of $95.00 per Share net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any required tax withholding, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated January 19, 2022 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Items 1 through 9 and 11.

The Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

Final Results of the Offer

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, at the end of the day on June 6, 2022 (the “Expiration Time”). According to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the Offer, as of the Expiration Time, 194,816,290 Shares had been validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from the Offer, representing approximately 66.0% of the outstanding Shares (not including 9,464,299 Shares delivered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery, representing approximately 3.2% of the outstanding Shares). The number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition. All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied or waived, Purchaser accepted for payment and will promptly pay for all Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

As a result of its acceptance for payment of all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, Purchaser owns at least the percentage of Shares that would be required to adopt the Merger Agreement by a vote of the stockholders of Cerner in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, subject to the satisfaction of the remaining conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Oracle, Parent and Purchaser intend to complete the acquisition of Cerner through the Merger as promptly as practicable without a meeting of Cerner’s stockholders or any further action by Cerner’s stockholders. In the Merger, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than (i) Shares held by Cerner as treasury stock or owned by Oracle, Parent, Purchaser or any subsidiary of Cerner, or (ii) Shares held by stockholders who properly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, net to the holder in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any required tax withholding.

Following the Merger, the Shares will be delisted and will cease to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Oracle and Purchaser intend to take steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and suspend all of Cerner’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.

The full text of the press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(Q) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.”
