Oracle said that a majority of shares, 53%, owned by eligible stockholders in the vote had been tendered. The acquisition is to be completed today, the company said in a statement.
The takeover agreement was announced in late July at a price of $109 per share, but it attracted criticism because Oracle executive chairman Larry Ellison and his family own a major stake in NetSuite of nearly 40%.
Under conditions of the deal, the transaction had to be approved by a majority of small, independent NetSuite shareholders, which excluded Ellison.
The deal allows Oracle to incorporate NetSuite's cloud-based financial management and resource planning products, strengthening its tools in the cloud.
For the 2017 fiscal first quarter ended 31 August, Oracle reported total revenues of $8.6 billion, up 2% from a year ago. Total cloud revenues shot up 59% to $969 million.
