- Oracle to take a 12.5 percent stake in TikTok Global

Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) announced today that it was chosen to become 
TikTok's secure cloud technology provider.  This technical decision by TikTok 
was heavily influenced by Zoom's recent success in moving a large portion of 
its video conferencing capacity to the Oracle Public Cloud.

"TikTok picked Oracle's new Generation 2 Cloud infrastructure because it's much 
faster, more reliable, and more secure than the first generation technology 
currently offered by all the other major cloud providers," said Oracle Chief 
Technology Officer Larry Ellison. "In the 2020 Industry CloudPath survey that 
IDC recently released where it surveyed 935 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) 
customers on their satisfaction with the top IaaS vendors including Oracle, 
Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, IBM and Google Cloud .... Oracle IaaS received 
the highest satisfaction score." 

"As a part of this agreement, TikTok will run on the Oracle Cloud and Oracle 
will become a minority investor in TikTok Global," said Oracle CEO Safra Catz. 
"Oracle will quickly deploy, rapidly scale, and operate TikTok systems in the 
Oracle Cloud. We are a hundred percent confident in our ability to deliver a 
highly secure environment to TikTok and ensure data privacy to TikTok's 
American users, and users throughout the world. This greatly improved security 
and guaranteed privacy will enable the continued rapid growth of the TikTok 
user community to benefit all stakeholders."

Based on decades of experience securing the world's most sensitive data, the 
Oracle Generation 2 cloud was built from the ground up to fully isolate running 
applications and autonomously respond to security threats.  Oracle will combine 
its secure cloud technology with continuous code reviews, monitoring, and 
auditing to provide unprecedented assurance that U.S. TikTok user data is 
private and secure.
