NEW YORK, ⁠Jan ⁠14 (Reuters) - ‍Oracle was sued on ‍Wednesday by bondholders who ​say they suffered ​losses because the company led by billionaire Larry Ellison failed ​to disclose it needed to ​sell significant additional debt to ‌build out its artificial intelligence infrastructure.

The proposed ​class action ⁠was filed in a New ‌York state court in Manhattan on ‌behalf of investors who ‌bought $18 billion of notes and bonds that Oracle issued ‍in September. Ellison and Oracle's ⁠banks were also named as defendants.
