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.
