On April 6, 2026, Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) announced that Hilary Maxson will join Oracle as Chief Financial Officer on April 6, 2026. Ms. Maxson, age 48, served as Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer of Schneider Electric SE (“Schneider”) from 2020 until April 2026. In this role, Ms. Maxson was a member of Schneider’s Executive Committee and led their global finance organization supporting capital allocation, business model transformation and long-term value creation strategy. Prior to that she was Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Energy Management of Schneider from 2019-2020 and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Building and IT of Schneider from 2017 to the end of 2018. Ms. Maxson serves on the board of directors of Anglo American plc. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Maxson and any other persons pursuant to which she was appointed as Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Maxson has no related party transactions with Oracle that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K and has no family relationships with any director, executive officer or nominee for director or executive officer of Oracle.
Ms. Maxson will receive an annual base salary of $950,000 and will be eligible to receive an annual performance-based bonus with a target of $2,500,000 based on achievement of certain performance metrics, which will be prorated for the period from her start date of April 6, 2026 until Oracle’s fiscal year end on May 31, 2026. Oracle has also agreed to pay up to $250,000 of Ms. Maxson’s relocation costs for up to 12 months from her employment start date. After Ms. Maxson commences employment, she will be granted equity (the “Equity Grant”) with an intended grant value of $26 million pursuant to the terms of Oracle’s Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. 80% of the Equity Grant, $20.8 million, will consist of time-based equity and 20% of the Equity Grant, $5.2 million, will consist of performance-based equity. Ms. Maxson will be able to select the equity vehicle for the Equity Grant as either: (1) 100% stock options, or (2) 50% stock options and 50% restricted stock units. The time-based equity will vest over a four-year period, subject to continued service, with 40% vesting on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, 30% on the two-year anniversary of the grant date, 20% on the three-year anniversary of the grant date, and 10% on the four-year anniversary of the grant date. The performance equity will vest, if at all, subject to continued service over a three-year performance period ending May 31, 2028 and the achievement of certain revenue metrics consistent with those applicable to Oracle’s Chief Executive Officers and the Executive Chair and Chief Technology Officer. Ms. Maxson’s employment is on an “at will” basis.
It is expected that shortly after commencing employment with Oracle, Ms. Maxson will enter into Oracle’s standard form of indemnification agreement pursuant to which Oracle will indemnify her for certain actions taken in her capacity as Chief Financial Officer.
In her capacity as Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Maxson will serve as Oracle’s Principal Financial Officer. Douglas Kehring will transition his role and step down as Principal Financial Officer and a Section 16 officer, effective as of April 6, 2026.

Exhibit 99.1
Oracle Appoints Hilary Maxson as Chief Financial Officer
AUSTIN, TEXAS – April 6, 2026 — Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced the appointment of Hilary Maxson as
Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Maxson will report to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Clay Magouyrk and lead the company’s global finance organization, effective April 6, 2026.
Maxson joins Oracle during a period of rapid growth as customer demand for cloud infrastructure exceeds supply. This growing demand for AI training and
inferencing, multicloud database, and cloud applications has given Oracle the opportunity to build and scale its cloud infrastructure very rapidly. Oracle’s most recent quarter delivered its strongest performance in over 15 years —
exceeding 20% growth for both organic total revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share — and momentum is continuing to build. Meeting this opportunity requires efficient approaches in allocating capital,
delivering capacity, driving innovation, and producing profitable, recurring revenue.
“We are pleased that we found a financial leader that matches
our culture of strong financial and operational discipline and has experience scaling capital intensive global organizations,” said Clay Magouyrk, CEO, Oracle. “Hilary’s experience spans industrial, infrastructure, and software
businesses—sectors where capital intensity and execution excellence are critical to success. Alongside Mike Sicilia, CEO, we are looking forward to working together with our new CFO. I’d like to also thank Doug Kehring for running the
finance organization the past six months as we prepared for this transition to Hilary. Doug will be returning his focus to helping optimize and accelerate our
go-to-market operations.”
“Oracle has built extraordinary
momentum at the intersection of cloud, AI, and industry applications. I’m excited to join at this pivotal moment, and I look forward to partnering with Clay, Mike, and the broader leadership team to continue to invest with discipline and to
translate this momentum into durable, long-term value for customers and shareholders,” said Hilary Maxson, CFO, Oracle.
Prior to joining Oracle, Maxson served as Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer at Schneider Electric, a global leader in
electrification, automation, and digitalization with more than $45 billion in annual revenue. Since joining Schneider Electric in 2017, the organization has transformed from an electrical equipment supplier into a digital energy technology
partner for key segments, like utilities and datacenters, focused on modernizing the energy landscape around Schneider Electric – from grid to plug – through software, data, and AI. She played a key role in driving performance,
scaling operations, and advancing the company’s strategic transformation.
Earlier in her career, Maxson spent 12 years at the AES Corporation, where she held senior leadership roles across finance, strategy, and M&A, supporting complex, capital-intensive
infrastructure investments across global markets.
She holds a bachelor’s degree and MBA from Cornell University. She also serves as a non-executive director and Chair of the Audit Committee at Anglo American plc.
With Hilary’s appointment, Doug
Kehring will transition out of the role of Oracle’s Principal Financial Officer. Kehring’s leadership helped guide the company through a period of immense scale and structural change, positioning the business for its next phase of
expansion.
