BEA Systems&#39; largest shareholder is demanding that its board of directors allow shareholders to vote on a&#160;$17-per-share purchase offer from Oracle, which is set to expire at 5 p.m. Pacific Time Sunday.Carl Icahn, who holds more than 58 million shares of BEA stock, said in a statement that he has begun lawsuit proceedings in Delaware to force an annual shareholder meeting &quot;before any scorched earth transactions (such as stock issuances, asset sales, acquisitions or similar occurrences) take place at BEA, other than transactions that are approved by shareholders.&quot;The investor accused BEA&#39;s board of intending &quot;to find ways to derail a sale and maintain your control of the company.&quot;&#160;BEA&#39;s board has repeatedly rejected Oracle&#39;s bid&#160;to buy the company,&#160;demanding $21 per share. Oracle&#39;s offer amounts to $6.7 billion, while BEA&#39;s demand works out to $8.3 billion. Oracle has called that price &quot;impossibly high.&quot;Icahn said BEA can avoid litigation if it conducts an auction sale, allowing shareholders to consider offers from the highest bidder.&quot;BEA should not allow the stalking horse bid from Oracle to disappear (failure to take the Oracle bid as a stalking horse would be a grave dereliction of your fiduciary duty in my view),&quot; he wrote. &quot;But if no topping bid arises it should be up to the BEA shareholders to decide whether to take the Oracle bid or remain as an independent Company.&quot;Icahn also demanded that &quot;BEA should agree not to take any action that would dilute voting by issuing stock, entrench management or derail a potential sale of BEA.&quot;Shares of BEA stock closed at $16.50 and were trading at $16.75 after hours on Friday.A BEA spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
