NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "OpenText" or the "Company". We wholly own all of our subsidiaries with the exception of Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa), GXS, Inc. (GXS Korea) and EC1 Pte. Ltd. (GXS Singapore), which as of September 30, 2016, were 90%, 85% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term “Fiscal 2017” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017; (ii) the term “Fiscal 2016” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2015 and ended June 30, 2016; (iii) the term “Fiscal 2015” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2014 and ended June 30, 2015; and (iv) the term "Fiscal 2014" means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2013 and ended June 30, 2014.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented and includes the financial results of Recommind, Inc. (Recommind), with effect from July 20, 2016, and certain customer communication management software and services assets and liabilities acquired from HP Inc. (CCM Business), with effect from July 31, 2016 (see note 18).

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) the realization of investment tax credits, (x) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xi) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xii) accounting for income taxes.

NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" (ASU 2016-15). ASU 2016-15 clarifies how companies should present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for us during the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-15 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us in our first quarter for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, with earlier adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01). This update requires that all equity investments be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). This update also requires an entity to present

7

separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Additionally, this update eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public entities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-01 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Share-based Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for us during the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing how the adoption of this standard will impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, "Investments - Equity Method and Join Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to Equity Method of Accounting" (ASU 2016-07). The amendments in this update require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring any additional interest in an investee to the current basis of the investor's previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Upon qualifying for equity method accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. We adopted ASU 2016-07 in the first quarter of our Fiscal 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (ASU 2016-02), which supersedes the guidance in former ASC Topic 840 “Leases”. The most significant change will result in the recognition of lease assets for the right to use the underlying asset and lease liabilities for the obligation to make lease payments by lessees, for those leases classified as operating leases under current guidance. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows related to leases. This standard is effective for us for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the effect that the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although we have not completed our assessment, we do not expect the adoption to change the recognition, measurement or presentation of lease expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12, respectively. These updates supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" and nearly all other existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 identifies five steps to be followed to achieve this core principal, which include (i) identifying contract(s) with customers, (ii) identifying performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s) and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year. The new guidance will now be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. Early adoption, prior to the original effective date, is not permitted. When applying ASU 2014-09 we can either apply the amendments: (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09 or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined within ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the effect that the pending adoption of the above mentioned ASUs will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

8

Although it is expected to have a significant impact on our revenue recognition policies and disclosures, we have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

There have been no other significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows as a result of our adoption of new accounting pronouncements or changes to our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Defined Benefit Plans

CDT Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's active employees. As of September 30, 2016, there is approximately $0.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT pension plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2017.

GXS Germany Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under the GXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. As of September 30, 2016, there is approximately $129.2 thousand in

13

accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS GER plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2017.

GXS Philippines Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired a primarily unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the GXS Philippines employees which provides for retirement, disability and survivors' benefits. Benefits under the GXS PHP plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which has a fair value of approximately $34.5 thousand as of September 30, 2016, no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. As of September 30, 2016, there is approximately $36.4 thousand in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS PHP plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2017.

Other Plans

Other plans include defined benefit pension plans that are offered by certain of our foreign subsidiaries. Many of these plans were assumed through our acquisitions or are required by local regulatory requirements. These other plans are primarily unfunded, with the aggregate projected benefit obligation included in our pension liability. The net periodic cost of these plans are determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

On September 23, 2016, at our annual general meeting, our shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of our 2004 stock option plan to reserve an additional 4,000,000 Common Shares for issuance under our 2004 Stock Option Plan.

Currently we also have options outstanding that vest over five years, as well as options outstanding that vest based on meeting certain market conditions. The exercise price of all our options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

16

A summary of activity under our stock option plans for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 is as follows:

	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic  Value ($’000s)
Outstanding at June 30, 2016	4,177,408		$	43.87
Granted	397,487		59.49
Exercised	(48,625	)	49.49
Forfeited or expired	(4,500	)	52.98
Outstanding at September 30, 2016	4,521,770		$	45.18	4.52	$	89,006
Exercisable at September 30, 2016	1,777,620		$	36.90	3.33	$	49,706

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or, where appropriate, the Monte Carlo Valuation Method, consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" (Topic 718) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of our stock options based upon historical data.

We believe that the valuation techniques and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of our stock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards.

For the periods indicated, the weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015
Weighted–average fair value of options granted	$	13.06		$	11.23
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility	29.42		%	32.65		%
Risk–free interest rate	1.03		%	1.48		%
Expected dividend yield	1.45		%	1.63		%
Expected life (in years)	4.33			4.33
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)	5		%	5		%
Average exercise share price	$	59.49		$	45.73

As of September 30, 2016, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately $25.0 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.

We have not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, cash in the amount of $2.4 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.1 million.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015, cash in the amount of $4.3 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.2 million.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

We incentivize our executive officers, in part, with long term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or Restricted Share Units (RSUs). Target PSUs become vested upon the achievement of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period. LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are

17

described below. LTIP grants will be referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based upon the year in which the grants are expected to vest.

Fiscal 2016 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2014 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2016 LTIP) consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2014 starting on November 1, 2013. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2016 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2016 LTIP awards in stock during the second quarter of Fiscal 2017.

Fiscal 2017 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2015 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2017 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2015 starting on September 4, 2014. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2017 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2017 LTIP awards in stock.

Fiscal 2018 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2016 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2018 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2016 starting on August 23, 2015. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2018 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2018 LTIP awards in stock.

Fiscal 2019 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2017 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2019 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2017 starting on August 14, 2016. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2019 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2019 LTIP awards in stock.

PSUs and RSUs granted under the LTIPs have been measured at fair value as of the effective date, consistent with Topic 718, and will be charged to share-based compensation expense over the remaining life of the plan. Stock options granted under the LTIPs have been measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with Topic 718. We estimate the fair value of PSUs using the Monte Carlo pricing model and RSUs have been valued based upon their grant date fair value.

As of September 30, 2016, the total expected compensation cost related to the unvested LTIP awards not yet recognized was $21.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we granted 3,900 RSUs to employees in accordance with employment and other agreements (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—nil). The RSUs vest over a specified contract date, typically three years from the respective date of grants. We expect to settle the awards in stock.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we issued 4,167 Common Shares from our treasury stock, with a cost of $0.1 million, in connection with the settlement of vested RSUs (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—nil).

Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we granted 1,221 DSUs to certain non-employee directors (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—556). The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for directors fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. No DSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

Beginning January 1, 2016, our ESPP offers employees a purchase price discount of 15%. Any Common Shares that were issued under the ESPP prior to January 1, 2016 were issued at a purchase price discount of 5%.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, 51,816 Common Shares were eligible for issuance to employees enrolled in the ESPP.

18

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, cash in the amount of approximately $2.9 million was received from employees relating to the ESPP (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—$1.0 million).

⁽¹⁾ Net of $6.2 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to third parties.

⁽²⁾ On September 12, 2016, we entered into a commitment letter with Barclays Bank PLC in connection with the Dell-EMC Acquisition (as defined in note 18). On September 26, 2016, we amended and restated the commitment letter (as amended and restated, the Commitment Letter) to add Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Royal Bank of Canada as lenders (together with Barclays Bank PLC, the Lenders). Under the Commitment Letter, we obtained a financing commitment from the Lenders, severally and not jointly, to provide a first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 billion to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Dell-EMC acquisition. Under the terms of the Commitment Letter, we are subject to fees of $5.0 million with a maximum fee payable up to $10.0 million. We have included our maximum fee exposure under “Purchase Obligations” in the table above, although the final fees that we pay could ultimately be less. The Commitment Letter terminates on March 14, 2017, subject to extension.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Occasionally, we enter into financial guarantees with third parties in the ordinary course of our business, including, among others, guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business. Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the aggregate of such estimated losses was not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Contingencies

As we have previously disclosed, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (Fiscal 2010) through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012), and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual

19

property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resulting structure. We also previously disclosed that the examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes that may be material, individually or in the aggregate, and that we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of these examinations, (which are ongoing), on July 17, 2015 we received from the IRS a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) in draft form proposing a one-time approximately $280 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes arising from the reorganization in Fiscal 2010 and proposing penalties equal to 20% of the additional taxes, plus interest at the applicable statutory rate (which will continue to accrue until the matter is resolved and may be substantial). A NOPA is an IRS position and does not impose an obligation to pay tax. The draft NOPA may be changed before the final NOPA is issued, including because the IRS reserved the right in the draft NOPA to increase the adjustment. Based on discussions with the IRS, we expect we will receive an additional NOPA proposing an approximately $80 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes for Fiscal 2012 arising from the integration of Global 360 Holding Corp. into the structure that resulted from the reorganization, accompanied by proposed penalties and interest (although there can be no assurance that this will be the amount reflected in the NOPA when received, including because the IRS may assign a higher value to our intellectual property). Depending upon the outcome of these matters, additional state income taxes plus penalties and interest may be due. We currently estimate that, as of September 30, 2016, adjustments under the draft NOPA in its present form and the anticipated additional NOPA could result in an aggregate liability of approximately $550 million, inclusive of U.S. federal and state taxes, penalties and interest.

We strongly disagree with the IRS’ position and intend to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income. We are examining various alternatives available to taxpayers to contest the proposed adjustments. Any such alternatives could involve a lengthy process and result in the incurrence of significant expenses. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any material accruals in respect of these examinations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. An adverse outcome of these tax examinations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we have inherited a tax dispute in Brazil between the Company’s subsidiary, GXS Tecnologia da Informação (Brasil) Ltda. (GXS Brazil), and the municipality of São Paulo, in connection with GXS Brazil’s judicial appeal of a tax claim in the amount of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2016. We currently have in place a bank guarantee in the amount of $4.0 million in recognition of this dispute. However, we believe that the position of the São Paulo tax authorities is not consistent with the relevant facts and based on information available on the case and other similar matters provided by local counsel, we believe that we can defend our position and that no tax is owed. Although we believe that the facts support our position, the ultimate outcome of this matter could result in a loss of up to the claim amount discussed above, plus future interest or penalties that may accrue.

Historically, prior to our acquisition of GXS, GXS would charge certain costs to its subsidiaries, including GXS Brazil, primarily based on historical transfer pricing studies that were intended to reflect the costs incurred by subsidiaries in relation to services provided by the parent company to the subject subsidiary. GXS recorded taxes on amounts billed, that were considered to be due based on the intercompany charges. GXS subsequently re-evaluated its intercompany charges to GXS Brazil and related taxes and, upon taking into consideration the current environment and judicial proceedings in Brazil, concluded that it was probable that certain indirect taxes would be assessable and payable based upon the accrual of such intercompany charges and has approximately $5.3 million accrued for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties.

Our Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was not appropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. We have filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.5 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter.

NOTE 14—INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate represents the net effect of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that are subject to a wide range of income tax rates.

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

20

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 and 2015, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015
Interest expense	$	1,282		$	1,777
Penalties expense (recoveries)	(106		)	(130		)
Total	$	1,176		$	1,647

As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	As of September 30, 2016		As of June 30, 2016
Interest expense accrued *	$	35,574	$	34,476
Penalties accrued *	$	1,540	$	1,615

* These balances have been included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 30, 2016, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $3.1 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. The earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2008 for Germany, 2010 for the United States, 2011 for Luxembourg, and 2012 for Canada.

We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Japan and Malaysia. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes. Statements regarding the United States audits are included in note 13.

The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of any change could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possible outcomes. For more information relating to certain tax audits, please refer to note 13.

As at September 30, 2016, we have provided $16.7 million (June 30, 2016—$15.9 million) in respect of both additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries, and planned periodic repatriations from certain United States and German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. We have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries, or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

The effective tax rate decreased to a recovery of 1,606.8% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, compared to a provision of 21.3% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015. The decrease to tax expense of $870.6 million was primarily due to a significant tax benefit of $876.1 million resulting from an internal reorganization that is further described below. Additionally, we saw an increase of $10.9 million resulting from the impact of foreign rates, and a decrease in changes in unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $2.2 million. The remainder of the differences were due to normal course movements and non-material items.

In July 2016, we implemented a reorganization of our subsidiaries worldwide with the view to continuing to enhance operational and administrative efficiencies through further consolidated ownership, management, and development of our intellectual property (IP) in Canada, continuing to reduce the number of entities in our group and working towards our objective of having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction. We believe our reorganization also reduces our exposure to global political and tax uncertainties, particularly in Europe. We believe that further consolidating our IP in Canada will continue to

21

ensure appropriate legal protections for our consolidated IP, simplify legal, accounting and tax compliance, and improve our global cash management. A significant tax benefit of $876.1 million, associated primarily with the recognition of a net deferred tax asset arising from the entry of the IP into Canada, was realized in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017. We believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and therefore no valuation allowance is required. We continue to evaluate our taxable position quarterly and consider factors by taxing jurisdiction, including but not limited to factors such as estimated taxable income, any historical experience of losses for tax purposes and the future growth of OpenText.

NOTE 15—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value, in this context, should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value and addressing disclosure requirements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

• Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

• Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016:

*These assets in the table above are classified as Level 2 as certain specific assets included within may not have quoted prices that are readily accessible in an active market or we may have relied on alternative pricing methods that do not rely exclusively on quoted prices to determine the fair value of the investments.

Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparty to which has high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived

22

from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for these instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as, where applicable, foreign currency spot and forward rates.

Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at an amount that approximates their fair value (a Level 2 measurement) due to their short maturities.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 and 2015, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments are classified as available for sale securities and are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

A summary of our short-term investments outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 is as follows:

	As of September 30, 2016								As of June 30, 2016
	Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized (Losses)		Estimated Fair Value		Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized (Losses)			Estimated Fair Value
Short-term investments	$	2,405	$	321	$	—	$	2,726	$	11,406	$	436	$	(3	)	$	11,839

NOTE 16—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We are engaged in hedging programs with relationship banks to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows relating to a portion of our Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, which are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of our payroll exposure with typical maturities of between one and twelve months. We do not use derivatives for speculative purposes.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with Topic 815 we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of September 30, 2016, is recorded within "Prepaid expenses and other current assets”.

As of September 30, 2016, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $34.1 million (June 30, 2016—$33.2 million).

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Effect of Derivative Instruments on Financial Performance

The effect of these derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods indicated below were as follows (amounts presented do not include any income tax effects).

Fiscal 2017 Restructuring Plan

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 and in the context of the acquisition of Recommind, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2017 Restructuring Plan). The Fiscal 2017 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could

24

change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

As of September 30, 2016, we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2017 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $2.0 million, of which $1.1 million has already been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 is shown below.

Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2015 and in the context of the acquisition of Actuate Corporation (Actuate), we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (OpenText/Actuate Restructuring Plan). We subsequently announced, on May 20, 2015 that we were initiating a restructuring program in conjunction with organizational changes to support our cloud strategy and drive further operational efficiencies. These charges are combined with the OpenText/Actuate Restructuring Plan (collectively referred to as the Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan) and are presented below. The Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Since the inception of the plan, $30.4 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges related to this plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 is shown below.

OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and in the context of the acquisition of GXS, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions, facility consolidations and other miscellaneous direct costs. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Since the inception of the plan, $24.9 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)". We do not expect to incur any further significant charges related to this plan.

Other charges (recoveries)

ERP Implementation Costs

We are currently involved in a one-time project to implement a broad enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

Material Definitive Agreement

On September 12, 2016, we entered into a material definitive agreement with EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Dell-EMC) pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC (the Dell-EMC Acquisition).

NOTE 21—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of the Audit Committee and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest in the transaction. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Audit Committee generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned$0.7 million (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—$6.0 thousand) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We operate in the Enterprise Information Management (EIM) market. We are an independent company providing a comprehensive platform and suite of software products and services that assist organizations in finding, utilizing, and sharing business information from any device in ways which are intuitive, efficient and productive. Our technologies and business solutions address one of the biggest problems encountered by enterprises today: the explosive growth of information volume and formats. Our software and services allow organizations to manage the information that flows into, out of, and throughout the enterprise as part of daily operations. Our solutions help to improve customer satisfaction and digital experience, gain analytical insight, improve collaboration with business partners, address the legal and business requirements associated with information governance, and help to ensure that information remains secure and private, as demanded in today's highly regulated climate.

Our products and services are designed to provide the benefits of maximizing the value of enterprise information while largely minimizing its risks. Our solutions incorporate collaborative and mobile technologies and are delivered for on-premises deployment as well as through cloud, hybrid and managed hosted services models to provide the flexibility and cost efficiencies demanded by the market. In addition, we provide solutions that facilitate the exchange of information and transactions that occur between supply chain participants, such as manufacturers, retailers, distributors and financial institutions, and are central to a company’s ability to effectively collaborate with its partners.

Our initial public offering was on the NASDAQ in 1996 and we were subsequently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 1998. We are a multinational company and as of September 30, 2016, employed approximately 9,700 people worldwide.

In July 2016, we implemented a reorganization of our subsidiaries worldwide with the view to continuing to enhance operational and administrative efficiencies through further consolidated ownership, management, and development of our intellectual property (IP) in Canada, continuing to reduce the number of entities in our group and working towards our objective of having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction. We believe our reorganization also reduces our exposure to global political and tax uncertainties, particularly in Europe. We believe that further consolidating our IP in Canada will continue to ensure appropriate legal protections for our consolidated IP, simplify legal, accounting and tax compliance, and improve our global cash management. A significant tax benefit of $876.1 million associated with the recognition of a net deferred tax asset ensuing from the reorganization was realized in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017. This had a significant impact on our GAAP-based net income and earnings per share, as illustrated in our results presented below.

Quarterly Summary:

During the quarter we saw the following activity:

• Total revenue was $491.7 million, up 13.1% compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; up 14.3% after factoring the impact of $4.9 million of foreign exchange rate changes.

See "Acquisitions" below for the impact of acquisitions on the period-to-period comparability of results.

Acquisitions

Our competitive position in the marketplace requires us to maintain a complex and evolving array of technologies, products, services and capabilities. In light of the continually evolving marketplace in which we operate, on an ongoing basis we regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities within the EIM market and at any time may be in various stages of discussions with respect to such opportunities.

Acquisition of Recommind, Inc.

On July 20, 2016, we acquired Recommind, Inc. (Recommind), a leading provider of eDiscovery and information analytics, for approximately $170.1 million. We believe this acquisition will complement our EIM solutions, and through eDiscovery and analytics, will provide increased visibility into structured and unstructured data. The results of operations of Recommind have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning July 20, 2016.

Acquisition of Certain Customer Communication Management Software Assets from HP Inc.

On July 31, 2016, we acquired certain customer communication management software and services assets and liabilities from HP Inc. (CCM Business) for approximately $315.0 million, of which $2.8 million is currently held back and unpaid in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. We believe this acquisition will complement our current software portfolio, and allow us to better serve our customers by offering a wider set of CCM capabilities. The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning July 31, 2016.

Material Definitive Agreement

On September 12, 2016, we entered into a material definitive agreement (the Master Acquisition Agreement) with EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Dell-EMC), pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC (the Dell-EMC Acquisition). The purchase price for the Dell-EMC Acquisition is expected to be approximately $1.62 billion and is subject to certain customary closing and regulatory conditions, including the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act).

We believe our acquisitions support our long-term strategic direction, strengthen our competitive position, expand our customer base, provide greater scale to accelerate innovation, grow our earnings and provide superior shareholder value. We

33

expect to continue to strategically acquire companies, products, services and technologies to augment our existing business. Our acquisitions, particularly significant ones, can affect the period-to-period comparability of our results. See note 18 "Acquisitions" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

Outlook for remainder of Fiscal 2017

While we continue to offer on-premises solutions, we realize that the EIM market is broad and we are agnostic to whether a customer prefers an on-premises solution, cloud solution, or combination of both (hybrid). We believe giving customer choice and flexibility will help us to strive to obtain long-term customer value. We measure long-term value by looking at our recurring revenue, earnings and operating cash flow. We define recurring revenue as the sum of our “Cloud services and subscriptions revenue”, “Customer support revenue” and “Professional services revenue”. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 recurring revenue was $431.0 million, which represented 87.7% of our total revenues and increased 12.5% compared to the same period in Fiscal 2016. Our Cloud services and subscriptions revenues was also up 14.8% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2016. Our net income for the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 was up significantly compared to the same period in Fiscal 2016 as a result of a one-time tax benefit that was recognized. Our operating cash flow was down 20.8% over the same period in the last fiscal year, primarily as a result of the onboarding of receivables from recent acquisitions. In certain cases such receivables, and Recommind is an example, have a long collection cycle, and we believe there is an opportunity to improve the historical days sales outstanding (DSO) of these acquired companies as we onboard them to our operating model.

Additionally, Customer support revenues, which are a recurring source of income for us, make up a significant portion of our revenue mix. Our management reviews our Customer support renewal rates on a quarterly basis and we use these rates as a method of monitoring our customer service performance. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, our Customer support renewal rate was approximately 90%, consistent with the Customer support renewal rate during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

We expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions in the future to strengthen our service offerings in the EIM market, and at any time may be in various stages of discussions with respect to such opportunities. We believe we are a value oriented and disciplined acquirer, having efficiently deployed $4.2 billion on acquisitions over the last 10 years, not including the potential acquisition of the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC. We see our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and assets into our business as a strength and pursuing strategic acquisitions is an important aspect to our growth strategy. As discussed above, we have entered into a material definitive agreement with Dell-EMC which, if completed, is expected to broaden our EIM offerings. Additionally, in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, we further demonstrated the implementation of this strategy by acquiring Recommind and CCM Business. For additional details, please refer to note 18 "Acquisitions" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

While continuing to acquire companies is our leading growth driver, our growth strategy also includes organic growth through internal innovation. This quarter we invested approximately $59 million in research and development (R&D) and we typically target to spend approximately 10% to 12% of revenues for R&D each fiscal year. We believe our ability to leverage our global presence is helpful to our organic growth initiatives.

We see an opportunity to help our customers become “digital businesses” and we believe we have a strong platform to integrate personalized analytics and insights onto our OpenText EIM suites of products, which will further our vision to enable “the digital world” and strengthen our position among leaders in EIM.

We also believe our diversified geographic profile helps strengthen our position and helps to reduce the impact of a downturn in the economy that may occur in any one specific region.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

(i) Revenue recognition,

(ii) Capitalized software,

(iii) Business combinations,

(iv) Goodwill,

(v) Acquired intangibles,

34

(vi) Restructuring charges,

Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin by Product Type

1)    License:

License revenues consist of fees earned from the licensing of software products to customers. Our license revenues are impacted by the strength of general economic and industry conditions, the competitive strength of our software products, and our acquisitions. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of royalties payable to third parties.

% License Revenues by Geography:
Americas	51.1		%				49.2		%
EMEA	35.0		%				44.2		%
Asia Pacific	13.9		%				6.6		%

License revenues increased by $9.3 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, inclusive of the negative impact of foreign exchange of approximately $0.5 million.Geographically, the overall increase was attributable to an increase in Americas of $5.7 million and an increase in Asia Pacific of $5.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in EMEA of $1.5 million. The number of license deals greater than $0.5 million that closed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 was 23 deals, of which 7 deals were greater than $1.0 million, compared to 14 deals in the first quarter of Fiscal 2016, of which 5 deals were greater than $1.0 million. License revenue, as a proportion of our total revenues, remained stable at approximately 12%.

Cost of license revenues increased by $1.2 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of an increase in third party technology costs of $1.2 million. Approximately $0.6 million of this increase is a result of a broad range of products that we have inherited from our recent acquisitions. Overall, the gross margin percentage on license revenues decreased slightly to approximately 94% from approximately 95%.

2)    Cloud Services and Subscriptions:

Cloud services and subscription revenues consist of (i) software as a service offerings (ii) managed service arrangements and  (iii) subscription revenues relating to on premise offerings. These offerings allow our customers to make use of OpenText software, services and content over Internet enabled networks supported by OpenText data centers. These web applications allow customers to transmit a variety of content between various mediums and to securely manage enterprise information without the commitment of investing in related hardware infrastructure. Revenues are generated on several transactional usage-based models, are typically billed monthly in arrears, and can therefore fluctuate from period to period. Certain service fees are occasionally charged to customize hosted software for some customers and are either amortized over the estimated customer life, in the case of setup fees, or recognized in the period they are provided.

In addition, we offer business-to-business (B2B) integration solutions, such as messaging services, and managed services. Messaging services allow for the automated and reliable exchange of electronic transaction information, such as purchase orders, invoices, shipment notices and other business documents, among businesses worldwide. Managed services provide an end-to-end fully outsourced B2B integration solution to our customers, including program implementation, operational management, and customer support. These services enable customers to effectively manage the flow of electronic transaction information with their trading partners and reduce the complexity of disparate standards and communication protocols. Revenues are primarily generated through transaction processing. Transaction processing fees are recurring in nature and are recognized on a per transaction basis in the period in which the related transactions are processed. Revenues from contracts with monthly, quarterly or annual minimum transaction levels are recognized based on the greater of the actual transactions or the specified contract minimum amounts during the relevant period. Customers who are not committed to multi-year contracts generally are under contracts for transaction processing solutions that automatically renew every month or year, depending on the terms of the specific contracts.

Cost of Cloud services and subscriptions revenues is comprised primarily of third party network usage fees, maintenance of in-house data hardware centers, technical support personnel-related costs, amortization of customer set up and implementation costs, and some third party royalty costs.

Cloud services and subscriptions revenues increased by $21.9 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, inclusive of the negative impact of foreign exchange of approximately $1.0 million. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to an increase in Americas of $18.5 million, an increase in EMEA of $2.4 million, and an increase in Asia Pacific of $1.1 million. The number of Cloud services deals greater than $1.0 million that closed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 was 13 deals, compared to 6 deals in the first quarter of Fiscal 2016.

Cost of Cloud services and subscriptions revenues increased by $11.4 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to an increase in labour-related costs of approximately $6.9 million resulting from increased headcount and an increase in third party network usage fees of approximately $3.9 million related to an expanded portfolio of cloud-based offerings. Overall, the gross margin percentage on Cloud services and subscriptions revenues decreased slightly to approximately 59% from approximately 60%.

3)    Customer Support:

Customer support revenues consist of revenues from our customer support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when and if available. Customer support revenues are generated from support and maintenance relating to current year sales of software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software licenses sold in prior periods. Therefore, changes in Customer support revenues do not always correlate directly to the changes in license revenues from period to period. The terms of support and maintenance agreements are typically twelve months, with customer renewal options. Cost of Customer support revenues is comprised primarily of technical support personnel and related costs, as well as third party royalty costs.

Customer support revenues increased by $24.5 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, inclusive of the negative impact of foreign exchange of approximately $2.6 million. Geographically, the overall increase was attributable to an increase in Americas of $18.6 million, an increase in Asia Pacific of $3.2 million, and an increase in EMEA of $2.7 million.

Cost of Customer support revenues increased by $5.2 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to an increase in labour-related costs of approximately $4.0 million and an increase in the installed base of third party products of approximately $1.2 million. The increase in the installed base of third party products was primarily the result of products we have inherited from our recent acquisitions. Overall, the gross margin percentage on Customer support revenues decreased slightly to approximately 88% from approximately 89%.

4)    Professional Service and Other:

Professional service and other revenues consist of revenues from consulting contracts and contracts to provide implementation, training and integration services (professional services). Other revenues consist of hardware revenues. These revenues are grouped within the “Professional service and other” category because they are relatively immaterial to our service revenues. Professional services are typically performed after the purchase of new software licenses. Cost of professional service and other revenues consists primarily of the costs of providing integration, configuration and training with respect to our various software products. The most significant components of these costs are personnel-related expenses, travel costs and third party subcontracting.

Professional service and other revenues increased by $1.4 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, of which approximately $0.9 million was due to the negative impact of foreign exchange. Geographically, the overall increase was attributable to an increase in Americas of $1.9 million and an increase in Asia Pacific of $1.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in EMEA of $1.8 million.

Cost of Professional service and other revenues increased by $3.3 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of an increase in labour-related costs of approximately $2.6 million of which approximately $0.4 million is the result of increased headcount and approximately $1.1 million is associated with one-time charges incurred as we continue to reorganize and improve efficiencies in our professional services organization . Overall, the gross margin percentage on Professional service and other revenues decreased to approximately 19% from approximately 23%.

Amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets increased by $3.3 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was due to additions of acquired technology-based intangible assets from our acquisitions of CCM Business, Recommind, CEM Business, ANX, and Daegis. This was partially offset by the intangible assets pertaining to our previous acquisitions becoming fully amortized.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and payroll-related benefits expenses, contracted research and development expenses, and facility costs. Research and development assists with organic growth and improves product stability and functionality, and accordingly, we dedicate extensive efforts to update and upgrade our product offerings. The primary driver is typically budgeted software upgrades and software development.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $17.2 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll-related benefits of $8.9 million and an increase in marketing expenses of $6.0 million, which is primarily a result of our annual user conference taking place in July 2016 as compared to November 2015. Overall, our sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, increased slightly to approximately 19% from approximately 18%.

Our sales and marketing labour resources increased by 306 employees, from 1,296 employees at September 30, 2015 to 1,602 employees at September 30, 2016. Our recent acquisitions added 138 employees to our sales and marketing labour resources.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and payroll related benefits expenses, related overhead, audit fees, other professional fees, consulting expenses and public company costs.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.6 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Contract labour and consulting increased by $1.1 million, which was primarily required on account of consulting fees related to our recent acquisitions. Similarly, payroll and payroll-related benefits increased by $0.9 million, and facility and related resources increased by $0.6 million. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in travel and communication expenses of $0.4 million and a reduction in other miscellaneous expenses of $0.2 million, which include professional fees such as legal, audit and tax related expenses. Overall, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenue remained stable at approximately 8%.

Our general and administrative labour resources increased by 186 employees, from 1,020 employees at September 30, 2015 to 1,206 employees at September 30, 2016. Our recent acquisitions added 48 employees to our general and administrative labour resources.

(In thousands)	2016		Change increase (decrease)		2015
Amortization of acquired customer-based intangible assets	$	33,608	$	5,803	$	27,805

Acquired customer-based intangible assets amortization expense increased by $5.8 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to the impact of new acquired customer-based intangible assets from our acquisitions of CCM Business, Recommind, CEM Business, ANX, and Daegis. This was partially offset by the customer-based intangible assets pertaining to previous acquisitions becoming fully amortized.

Special charges (recoveries):

Special chargestypically relate to amounts that we expect to pay in connection with restructuring plans relating to employee workforce reduction and abandonment of excess facilities, acquisition-related costs and other similar one-time charges. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating existing OpenText operations with that of acquired entities. Actions related to such restructuring plans are typically completed within a period of one year. In certain limited situations, if the planned activity does not need to be implemented, or an expense lower than anticipated is paid out, we record a recovery of the originally recorded expense to Special charges.

(In thousands)	2016		Change increase (decrease)			2015
Special charges (recoveries)	$	12,454	$	(4,883	)	$	17,337

Special charges decreased by $4.9 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to (i) a net decrease in restructuring charges of $13.4 million and (ii) a decrease of $0.5 million relating to a higher net impact of reversals from certain pre-acquisition sales and use tax liabilities and interest being settled, or in certain instances, becoming statute barred in the current period compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. These decreases were partially offset by (i) an increase in acquisition related costs of $6.6 million, and (ii) an increase of $1.2 million relating to post-acquisition integration costs necessary to streamline an acquired company into our operations and costs incurred to reorganize certain legal entities including consolidation of intellectual property. The remainder of the change is due to miscellaneous items.

For more details on Special charges (recoveries), see note 17 "Special Charges (Recoveries)" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net relates to certain non-operational charges consisting primarily of transactional foreign exchange gains (losses). This income (expense) is dependent upon the change in foreign currency exchange rates vis-à-vis the functional currency of the legal entity. Other income (expense) also includes our share of income or losses in non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the equity method.

Other income included foreign exchange gains of $1.2 million on our inter-company transactions during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 compared to $5.4 million in foreign exchange losses during the same period last year. Also during the current quarter we recognized income of approximately $5.5 million relating to our share of income in non-marketable equity investments.

Interest and Other Related Expense, Net

Interest and other related expense, net is primarily comprised of cash interest paid and accrued on our debt facilities, offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest and other related expense, net	$	27,275	$	8,229	$	19,046

Interest and other related expense, net increased by $8.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to additional interest expense incurred relating to Senior Notes 2026 (defined below), which were issued on May 31, 2016.

For more details see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes

We operate in several tax jurisdictions and are exposed to various foreign tax rates. We also note that we are subject to tax rate discrepancies between our domestic tax rate and foreign tax rates that are significant and these discrepancies are primarily related to earnings in the United States.

Please also see "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2016.

Provision for (Recovery of) income taxes	$	(859,425	)	$	(870,627	)	$	11,202

The effective tax rate (which is the provision for taxes expressed as a percentage of income before taxes) decreased to a recovery of 1,606.8% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, compared to a provision of 21.3% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015. The decrease to tax expense of $870.6 million was primarily due to a significant tax benefit of $876.1 million resulting from an internal reorganization that is further described below. Additionally, we saw an increase of $10.9 million resulting from the impact of foreign rates, and a decrease in changes in unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $2.2 million. The remainder of the differences were due to normal course movements and non-material items.

In July 2016, we implemented a reorganization of our subsidiaries worldwide with the view to continuing to enhance operational and administrative efficiencies through further consolidated ownership, management, and development of our IP in Canada, continuing to reduce the number of entities in our group and working towards our objective of having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction. We believe our reorganization also reduces our exposure to global political and tax uncertainties, particularly in Europe. We believe that further consolidating our IP in Canada will continue to ensure appropriate legal protections for our consolidated IP, simplify legal, accounting and tax compliance, and improve our global cash management. A significant tax benefit of $876.1 million, associated primarily with the recognition of a net deferred tax asset arising from the entry of the IP into Canada, was realized in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017. We believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and therefore no valuation allowance is required. We continue to evaluate our taxable position quarterly and consider factors by taxing jurisdiction, including but not limited to factors such as estimated taxable income, any historical experience of losses for tax purposes and the future growth of OpenText.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Non-GAAP). These Non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized meaning and thus the Company's definition may be different from similar Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. Thus it may be more difficult to compare the Company's financial performance to that of other companies. However, the Company's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of these Non-GAAP financial measures both in its reconciliation to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results.

The Company uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the information provided in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. OpenText strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. The Company therefore believes that despite these limitations, it is appropriate to supplement the disclosure of the U.S. GAAP measures with certain Non-GAAP measures defined below.

Non-GAAP-based net income and Non-GAAP-based EPS are calculated as net income or earnings per share on a diluted basis, after giving effect to the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation, and Special charges (recoveries), all net of tax and any tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income, as further described in the tables below. Non-GAAP-based gross profit is the arithmetical sum of GAAP-based gross profit and the amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets and share-based compensation within cost of sales. Non-GAAP-based gross margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue. Non-GAAP-based income from operations is calculated as income from operations, excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, Special charges (recoveries), and share-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP-based operating margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based income from operations expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

The Company's management believes that the presentation of the above defined Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because they portray the financial results of the Company before the impact of certain non-operational charges. The use of the term “non-operational charge” is defined for this purpose as an expense that does not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by the Company's management and is based upon the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports. In the course of such evaluation and for the purpose of making operating decisions, the Company's management excludes certain items from its analysis, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, Special charges (recoveries), share-based compensation, other income (expense), and the taxation impact of these items. These items are excluded based upon the manner in which management evaluates the business of the Company and are not excluded in the sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes the provision of supplemental Non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company's core business using the same evaluation measures that management uses, and is therefore a useful indication of OpenText's performance or expected performance of future operations and facilitates period-to-period comparison of operating performance (although prior performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance). As a result, the Company considers it appropriate and reasonable to provide, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, supplementary Non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items from the presentation of its financial results.

The following charts provide unaudited reconciliations of U.S. GAAP-based financial measures to Non-GAAP-based financial measures for the following periods presented:

(1)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share-based compensation expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(2)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on our acquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(3)	GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based gross profit stated in dollars and gross margin stated as a percentage of total revenue.
(4)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Special charges (recoveries) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Special charges (recoveries) are generally incurred in the periods following the relevant acquisitions and include one-time, non-recurring charges or recoveries that are not indicative or related to continuing operations, and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. See note 17 "Special Charges (Recoveries)" to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
(5)	GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based income from operations stated in dollars and operating margin stated as a percentage of total revenue.
(6)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Other income (expense) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Other income (expense) relates primarily to the transactional impact of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. Other income (expense) also includes our share of income (losses) from our holdings in non-marketable securities investments as a limited partner. We do not actively trade equity securities in these privately held companies nor do we plan our ongoing operations based around any anticipated fundings or distributions from these investments. We exclude gains and losses on these investments as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results.
(7)	Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax recovery rate of approximately 1,607% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 15%; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of expenses that are excluded for the purpose of calculating Non-GAAP-based adjusted net income. Such excluded expenses include amortization, share-based compensation, Special charges (recoveries) and other income (expense), net. Also excluded are tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments. Included is the amount of net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization (see note 14) assumed to be allocable to the current period based on the forecasted utilization period. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 15%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

Cash used in financing activities	$	(25,806	)	$	44,496		$	(70,302	)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of balances with banks as well as deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less.

We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, as well as available credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, contractual commitments, capital expenditures, dividends, potential acquisitions under our normal course issuer bid, and operating needs for the next 12 months, except as noted below with respect to the Dell-EMC Acquisition. On September 12, 2016, we entered into a material definitive agreement, pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC for approximately $1.62 billion. The closing of this acquisition is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act. The Dell-EMC Acquisition is expected to close within 90 to 120 days from when we entered into the agreement. In connection with the Dell-EMC Acquisition, we have obtained a financing commitment from Barclays Bank PLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Royal Bank of Canada. Please see below for more details related to the Commitment Letter. Although the exact components of the permanent financing for the Dell-EMC Acquisition are yet to be determined, our objective is to maintain a conservative capital structure, including preserving our current credit ratings. As such, the permanent financing may include elements of cash on hand, borrowings under existing or new credit facilities, and a new equity offering. Any further material or acquisition-related activities may require additional sources of financing (beyond that contemplated for the Dell-EMC Acquisition) and would be subject to the financial covenants established under our credit facilities. For more details, see "Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities" below.

As at September 30, 2016, we have provided $16.7 million (June 30, 2016—$15.9 million) in respect of both additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries, and planned periodic repatriations from certain United States and German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution.

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $19.3 million due to a decrease in changes from working capital of $27.3 million, partially offset by an increase in net income before the impact of non-cash items of $8.0 million. The decrease in operating cash flow from changes in working capital of $27.3 million was primarily due to the net impact of the following decreases: (i) $35.9 million relating to accounts receivable, (ii) $7.7 million relating to other assets, (iii) $7.1 million relating to prepaid and other current assets, and (iv) $0.6 million relating to income taxes payable and deferred charges and credits. These decreases were partially offset by increases of: (i) $17.7 million relating to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as a result of an active working capital management program, and (ii) $6.3 million relating to deferred revenues.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 our DSO was 52 days compared to a DSO of 48 days during the first quarter of Fiscal 2016. The per day impact of our DSO in the first quarters of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016 on our cash flows was $5.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The increase in DSO this quarter, as compared to the same period last fiscal year, was partially the result of the impact of our recent acquisition of Recommind, which negatively impacted our DSO as Recommind historically offered longer payment terms than Open Text. We expect to see improvements to our overall global DSO, as we continue to onboard and bring their payment terms in line with OpenText policies and procedures.

51

Cash flows used in investing activities

Our cash flows used in investing activities is primarily on account of acquisitions and additions of property and equipment.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $475.5 million. This was primarily due to a $479.8 million increase in consideration paid for acquisitions in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 as compared to the same period in Fiscal 2016, and an increase in additions of property and equipment of $3.5 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in other investing activity of $0.8 million and in an inflow of investing cash from the maturity of certain short term investments of $7.0 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities

Our cash flows from financing activities generally consist of long-term debt financing and amounts received from stock options exercised by our employees. These inflows are typically offset by scheduled and non-scheduled repayments of our long-term debt financing and, when applicable, the payment of dividends and/or the repurchases of our Common Shares.

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $44.5 million. This was primarily due to our repurchase approximately 1.1 million Common Shares in the first quarter of Fiscal 2016 for approximately $50.0 million under our previous share repurchase plan. We have not yet repurchased any Common Shares under our Share Repurchase Plan (as defined below) this fiscal year. This decrease in cash flows used in financing activities was partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in debt issuance costs relating to our Senior Notes 2026 and a $4.5 million increase in dividend payments made to our shareholders. The remainder of the change was due to miscellaneous items.

Cash Dividends

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.23 per Common Share that totaled $27.8 million. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination and discretion of the Board.

Commitment Letter

On September 12, 2016, we entered into the commitment letter with Barclays Bank PLC in connection with the Dell-EMC Acquisition. On September 26, 2016, we amended and restated the commitment letter (as amended and restated, the Commitment Letter) to add Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Royal Bank of Canada as lenders (together with Barclays Bank PLC, the Lenders). Under the Commitment Letter, we obtained a financing commitment from the Lenders, severally and not jointly, to provide a first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 billion (the Facility) to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Dell-EMC Acquisition. The obligations of the Lenders to provide the Facility under the Commitment Letter are subject to a number of customary conditions, including, without limitation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation consistent with the Commitment Letter and the documentation standard specified therein. The Commitment Letter terminates on March 14, 2017 (which termination date may be extended under the terms of the Commitment Letter in a manner consistent with extensions under the Master Acquisition Agreement, in each case to a date that is two business days after the relevant termination date under the Master Acquisition Agreement). For further details, please refer to the Master Acquisition Agreement and the Commitment Letter which were filed as exhibit 2.1 in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on September 13, 2016, and as exhibit 10.2 hereto, respectively. Although the exact components of the permanent financing for the Dell-EMC Acquisition are yet to be determined, our objective is to maintain a conservative capital structure, including preserving our current credit ratings. As such, the permanent financing may include elements of cash on hand, borrowings under existing or new credit facilities, and newly issued equity.

Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes

Senior Notes 2026

On May 31, 2016 we issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (Senior Notes 2026) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2026 bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2016. Senior Notes 2026 will mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

We may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes 2026 at any time prior to June 1, 2021 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Senior Notes 2026 plus an applicable premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, we may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026, on one or

52

more occasions, prior to June 1, 2019, using the net proceeds from certain qualified equity offerings at a redemption price of 105.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to compliance with certain conditions. We may, on one or more occasions, redeem Senior Notes 2026, in whole or in part, at any time on and after June 1, 2021 at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Senior Notes 2026, dated as of May 31, 2016 among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, The Bank of New York Mellon, as U.S. trustee, and BNY Trust Company of Canada, as Canadian trustee (the 2026 Indenture), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

If we experience one of the kinds of changes of control triggering events specified in the Indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase Senior Notes 2026 at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of Senior Notes 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

The 2026 Indenture contains covenants that limit our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) create certain liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (ii) create, assume, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness of the Company or the guarantors without such subsidiary becoming a subsidiary guarantor of the notes; and (iii) consolidate, amalgamate or merge with, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its property and assets substantially as an entirety to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions as set forth in the 2026 Indenture. The 2026 Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, may permit or, in certain circumstances, require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then-outstanding notes to be due and payable immediately.

Senior Notes 2026 are initially guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that borrow or guarantee the obligations under our existing senior credit facilities. Senior Notes 2026 and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future senior unsubordinated debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of the our and our guarantors’ future subordinated debt. Senior Notes 2026 and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including the obligations under the senior credit facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured debt.

The foregoing description of the 2026 Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2026 Indenture, which is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2016.

Senior Notes 2023

On January 15, 2015, we issued $800 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (Senior Notes 2023) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2023 bear interest at a rate of 5.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2015. Senior Notes 2023 will mature on January 15, 2023, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

We may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes 2023 at any time prior to January 15, 2018 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Senior Notes 2023 plus an applicable premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, we may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2023, on one or more occasions, prior to January 15, 2018, using the net proceeds from certain qualified equity offerings at a redemption price of 105.625% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to compliance with certain conditions. We may, on one or more occasion, redeem Senior Notes 2023, in whole or in part, at any time on and after January 15, 2018 at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Senior Notes 2023, dated as of January 15, 2015, among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to Citibank N.A.), as U.S. trustee, and BNY Trust Company of Canada (as successor to Citi Trust Company Canada), as Canadian trustee (the 2023 Indenture), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

If we experience one of the kinds of changes of control triggering events specified in the 2023 Indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase Senior Notes 2023 at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of Senior Notes 2023, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

The 2023 Indenture contains covenants that limit our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) create certain liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (ii) create, assume, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness of the Company or the subsidiary guarantors without such subsidiary becoming a subsidiary guarantor of Senior Notes 2023; and (iii) consolidate, amalgamate or merge with, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its property and assets substantially as an entirety to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions as set forth in the 2023 Indenture. The 2023 Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, may permit or, in certain circumstances, require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then-outstanding notes to be due and payable immediately.

Senior Notes 2023 are initially guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that borrow or guarantee the obligations under our existing senior credit facilities. Senior Notes 2023 and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and our subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future senior unsubordinated debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of our and our subsidiary guarantors’ future subordinated debt. Senior Notes 2023 and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of ours and our guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including the obligations under the Revolver and Term Loan B, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured debt.

The foregoing description of the 2023 Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2023 Indenture, which is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 15, 2015.

Term Loan B

In connection with the acquisition of GXS, on January 16, 2014, we entered into a second credit facility, which provides for a $800 million term loan facility with certain lenders named therein, Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays), as sole administrative agent and collateral agent, and with Barclays and RBC Capital Markets as lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (Term Loan B). Repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due at maturity.

Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with the Revolver. We entered into Term Loan B and borrowed the full amount of $800 million on January 16, 2014. Term Loan B has a seven year term.

Borrowings under Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the borrower’s option, either (1) the eurodollar rate for the interest period relevant to such borrowing or (2) an ABR rate determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the prime rate of Barclays, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the one month eurodollar rate plus 1.00% per annum. The applicable margin for borrowings under Term Loan B will be 2.5% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 1.5% with respect to ABR rate borrowings.

Currently we have chosen for our borrowings under Term Loan B to bear a floating rate of interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%. As of September 30, 2016, the interest rate was 3.25%.

Term Loan B has incremental facility capacity of (i) $250 million plus (ii) additional amounts, subject to meeting a “consolidated senior secured net leverage” ratio not exceeding 2.75:1.00, in each case subject to certain conditions. Consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, that is secured by our or any of our subsidiaries’ assets, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges.

Under Term Loan B, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4:1 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. As of September 30, 2016, our consolidated net leverage ratio was 1.8:1.

For further details relating to our Term Loan B, please see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revolver

We currently have a $300 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver). Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, and on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B. The Revolver will mature on December 22, 2019 with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term and has financial covenants consistent with Term Loan B. As of September 30, 2016, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.

Share Repurchase Plan

On July 26, 2016, our board of directors (the Board) authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of Common Shares (Share Repurchase Plan), pursuant to a normal course issuer bid. Shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market, private purchases through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic repurchase transactions or otherwise. The timing of any repurchase will depend on market conditions, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors.

54

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares under the Share Repurchase Plan.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015, we repurchased and cancelled 1,131,812 Common Shares for approximately $50.0 million under our previous share repurchase plan.

Shelf Registration Statement

In response to the demand and piggyback registration requests we received pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of GXS, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which became effective automatically. On May 10, 2016, we filed a post-effective Amendment No. 1 to the shelf registration statement to make the base prospectus included therein consistent with the updated Canadian base shelf short-form prospectus (as amended, the Shelf Registration Statement). The Shelf Registration Statement allows for primary and secondary offerings from time to time of equity, debt and other securities, including Common Shares, Preference Shares, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, units and subscription receipts. A base shelf short-form prospectus qualifying the distribution of such securities has also been filed with certain Canadian securities regulators. The type of securities and the specific terms thereof will be determined at the time of any offering and will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement to be filed separately with the SEC and such Canadian securities regulators.

Pensions

As of September 30, 2016, our total unfunded pension plan obligations were $65.3 million, of which $1.7 million is payable within the next 12 months. We expect to be able to make the long-term and short-term payments related to these obligations in the normal course of operations.

Our anticipated payments under our most significant plans for the fiscal years indicated below are as follows:

	Fiscal years ending June 30,
	CDT		GXS GER		GXS PHP
2017 (nine months ended June 30)	$	450	$	592	$	54
2018	641		878		88
2019	717		937		138

2022 to 2026	5,127		5,550		1,701
Total	$	8,587	$	9,950	$	2,268

For a detailed discussion on all pensions, see note 11 "Pension Plans and Other Post Retirement Benefits" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

⁽¹⁾ Net of $6.2 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to third parties.

⁽²⁾ On September 12, 2016, we entered into a commitment letter with Barclays Bank PLC in connection with the Dell-EMC Acquisition (as defined in note 18). On September 26, 2016, we amended and restated the commitment letter (as amended and restated, the Commitment Letter) to add Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Royal Bank of Canada as lenders (together with Barclays Bank PLC, the Lenders). Under the Commitment Letter, we obtained a financing commitment from the Lenders, severally and not jointly, to provide a first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal

55

amount of up to $1.0 billion to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Dell-EMC acquisition. Under the terms of the Commitment Letter, we are subject to fees of $5.0 million with a maximum fee payable up to $10.0 million. We have included our maximum fee exposure under “Purchase Obligations” in the table above, although the final fees that we pay could ultimately be less. The Commitment Letter terminates on March 14, 2017, subject to extension.

The long-term debt obligations are comprised of interest and principal payments on Senior Notes and credit facilities. See note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Occasionally, we enter into financial guarantees with third parties in the ordinary course of our business, including, among others, guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business. Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the aggregate of such estimated losses were not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Contingencies

As we have previously disclosed, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (Fiscal 2010) through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012), and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resulting structure. We also previously disclosed that the examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes that may be material, individually or in the aggregate, and that we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of these examinations, (which are ongoing), on July 17, 2015 we received from the IRS a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) in draft form proposing a one-time approximately $280 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes arising from the reorganization in Fiscal 2010 and proposing penalties equal to 20% of the additional taxes, plus interest at the applicable statutory rate (which will continue to accrue until the matter is resolved and may be substantial). A NOPA is an IRS position and does not impose an obligation to pay tax. The draft NOPA may be changed before the final NOPA is issued, including because the IRS reserved the right in the draft NOPA to increase the adjustment. Based on discussions with the IRS, we expect we will receive an additional NOPA proposing an approximately $80 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes for Fiscal 2012 arising from the integration of Global 360 Holding Corp. into the structure that resulted from the reorganization, accompanied by proposed penalties and interest (although there can be no assurance that this will be the amount reflected in the NOPA when received, including because the IRS may assign a higher value to our intellectual property). Depending upon the outcome of these matters, additional state income taxes plus penalties and interest may be due. We currently estimate that, as of September 30, 2016, adjustments under the draft NOPA in its present form and the anticipated additional NOPA could result in an aggregate liability of approximately $550 million, inclusive of U.S. federal and state taxes, penalties and interest.

We strongly disagree with the IRS’ position and intend to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable

56

income. We are examining various alternatives available to taxpayers to contest the proposed adjustments. Any such alternatives could involve a lengthy process and result in the incurrence of significant expenses. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any material accruals in respect of these examinations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. An adverse outcome of these tax examinations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we have inherited a tax dispute in Brazil between the Company’s subsidiary, GXS Tecnologia da Informação (Brasil) Ltda. (GXS Brazil), and the municipality of São Paulo, in connection with GXS Brazil’s judicial appeal of a tax claim in the amount of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2016. We currently have in place a bank guarantee in the amount of $4.0 million in recognition of this dispute. However, we believe that the position of the São Paulo tax authorities is not consistent with the relevant facts and based on information available on the case and other similar matters provided by local counsel, we believe that we can defend our position and that no tax is owed. Although we believe that the facts support our position, the ultimate outcome of this matter could result in a loss of up to the claim amount discussed above, plus future interest or penalties that may accrue.

Historically, prior to our acquisition of GXS, GXS would charge certain costs to its subsidiaries, including GXS Brazil, primarily based on historical transfer pricing studies that were intended to reflect the costs incurred by subsidiaries in relation to services provided by the parent company to the subject subsidiary. GXS recorded taxes on amounts billed, that were considered to be due based on the intercompany charges. GXS subsequently re-evaluated its intercompany charges to GXS Brazil and related taxes and, upon taking into consideration the current environment and judicial proceedings in Brazil, concluded that it was probable that certain indirect taxes would be assessable and payable based upon the accrual of such intercompany charges and has approximately $5.3 million accrued for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties.

Our Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was not appropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. We have filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.5 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter.

Please also see "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice, except for guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business, and the use of operating leases for office space, computer equipment, and vehicles. None of the operating leases described in the previous sentence has, and we currently do not believe that they potentially may have, a material effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, neither the lease liability nor the underlying asset is carried on the balance sheet, as the terms of the leases do not meet the criteria for capitalization.

57

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on our term loans and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our Term Loan B.

As of September 30, 2016, we had an outstanding balance of $778.0 million on Term Loan B. Term Loan B bears a floating interest rate of 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%. As of September 30, 2016, an adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on Term Loan B by approximately $7.8 million, assuming that the loan balance as of September 30, 2016 is outstanding for the entire period.

At June 30, 2016, an adverse change of one percent would have had the effect of increasing our annual interest payments on Term Loan B by approximately $7.8 million, assuming that the loan balance was outstanding for the entire period.

Depending on the permanent financing for the Dell-EMC Acquisition, we may be subject to additional interest rate risk.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency transaction risk

We transact business in various foreign currencies. Our foreign currency exposures typically arise from intercompany fees, intercompany loans and other intercompany transactions that are expected to be cash settled in the near term. We expect that we will continue to realize gains or losses with respect to our foreign currency exposures. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to foreign currency exposures will generally depend on the size and type of cross-currency transactions that we enter into, the currency exchange rates associated with these exposures and changes in those rates. Additionally, we have hedged certain of our Canadian dollar foreign currency exposures relating to our payroll expenses in Canada.

Based on the foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as at September 30, 2016, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have caused a change of approximately $0.3 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts.

At June 30, 2016, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have caused a change of approximately $0.3 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts.

Foreign currency translation risk

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets and liabilities that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. dollars. In particular, the amount of cash and cash equivalents that we report in U.S. dollars for a significant portion of the cash held by these subsidiaries is subject to translation variance caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as of the end of each respective reporting period (the offset to which is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

The following table shows our cash and cash equivalents denominated in certain major foreign currencies as of September 30, 2016 (equivalent in U.S. dollar):

(In thousands)	U.S. Dollar Equivalent at September 30, 2016		U.S. Dollar Equivalent at June 30, 2016
Euro	$	174,199	$	182,524
British Pound	35,719		29,572
Canadian Dollar	27,651		22,103
Swiss Franc	24,901		30,298
Other foreign currencies	80,738		72,107
Total cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies	343,208		336,604
U.S. dollar	491,736		947,153
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	834,944	$	1,283,757

If overall foreign currency exchange rates in comparison to the U.S. dollar uniformly weakened by 10%, the amount of

58

cash and cash equivalents we would report in equivalent U.S. dollars would decrease by approximately $34.3 million (June 30, 2016—$33.7 million).

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

(A) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act (according to Rule 13(a)-15(e)) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(B) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR)

Based on the evaluation completed by our management, in which our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated, our management has concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

59

PART II - Other Information

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors update, and are in addition to, the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, and should be read in conjunction therewith. These are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our operating results, financial condition and liquidity. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other companies.

There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete the Dell-EMC Acquisition on the terms or timetable currently proposed or at all.

The Master Acquisition Agreement contains a number of customary conditions that must be fulfilled to complete the Dell-EMC Acquisition, including the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act. The Master Acquisition Agreement also contains certain customary rights of either party, as applicable, to terminate the agreement prior to the initial closing. In addition, if the Master Acquisition Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances, certain termination fees become payable. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay or prevent the completion of the Dell-EMC Acquisition.

Further, our ability to complete the Dell-EMC Acquisition is dependent upon our ability to secure the financing sources to pay the purchase price. Although the exact components of the permanent financing for the Dell-EMC Acquisition are yet to be determined, our objective is to maintain a conservative capital structure, including preserving our current credit ratings. As such, the permanent financing may include elements of cash on hand, borrowings under existing or new credit facilities, and newly issued equity. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising sufficient funds to finance the purchase price for the Dell-EMC Acquisition. We entered into the Commitment Letter, pursuant to which the Lenders, severally and not jointly, have committed to provide the Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 billion subject to a number of customary conditions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter. The closing of the Dell-EMC Acquisition is not contingent on our ability to obtain sufficient financing under the Commitment Letter or otherwise.

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant transaction costs in connection with the Dell-EMC Acquisition and a delay in closing, or a failure to complete, the Dell-EMC Acquisition could have a negative impact on our business and on the trading price of our Common Shares.

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Dell-EMC Acquisition or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. We may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC we acquire.

Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Dell-EMC Acquisition will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC we acquire, which is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. The nature of a carve-out acquisition makes it inherently more difficult to assume operations upon closing and to integrate activities. As a result, we will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrate the business practices and operations of OpenText and the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC we acquire. The integration process may disrupt our business and, if implemented ineffectively, would restrict the realization of the full expected benefits. The failure to meet the challenges involved in the integration process and to realize the anticipated benefits of the Dell-EMC Acquisition could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our operations and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the integration of the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customers and other business relationships, and diversion of management’s attention. Additional integration challenges include:

• difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the acquisition;

•difficulties in the integration of operations and systems;

• conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures;

•difficulties in the assimilation of employees; and

•coordinating a geographically dispersed organization.

60

Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, even if the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC is integrated successfully, the full benefits of the Dell-EMC Acquisition may not be realized, including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities that are expected. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Further, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration process. All of these factors could cause dilution to our earnings per share, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the Dell-EMC Acquisition and negatively impact the price of our Common Shares.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was positively impacted by a non-recurring income tax benefit.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was a recovery of 1,606.8%, compared to a provision of 21.3% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in tax rate was primarily due to a significant tax benefit of $876.1 million associated with the recognition of a net deferred tax asset resulting from the implementation of a reorganization of our subsidiaries worldwide, as discussed in note 14 “Income Taxes” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This tax benefit is specifically tied to the reorganization and applied to this quarter only, and as a result, will not continue in the future periods.

Amended and Restated Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to the Commitment Letter, dated as of September 12, 2016 (the “Original Commitment Letter”) by and between you and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”). The Original Commitment Letter is hereby amended and restated and superseded in its entirety as follows.

You (the “Borrower”) have advised Barclays, Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

Letter”). For purposes of this Commitment Letter, “Citi” shall mean CGMI, Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc. and/or Citicorp North America, Inc.

Accordingly, based upon the foregoing and subject to the terms set forth below and solely to the conditions set forth in paragraph 5 below and in the Term Sheet (as defined below) under “Conditions Precedent to Borrowing,” the Commitment Parties are pleased to provide their commitments as follows:

2. Appointment of Roles. You hereby appoint Barclays (acting alone or through or with affiliates selected by it), CGMI (acting alone or through or with affiliates selected by it) and Royal Bank (acting alone or through or with affiliates selected by it) to act as lead arrangers and bookrunning managers (in such capacities, collectively, the “Lead Arrangers”) for the Term Facility. You agree that no other bookrunners, agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Amended and Restated Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid to obtain a party’s commitment to participate in the Term Facility unless you and we shall so agree. It is further agreed that Barclays shall have “lead left” placement on any Marketing Materials (as defined below) and all other offering or marketing materials in respect of the Term Facility and will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised in such role.

3. Syndication. The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication of the Term Facility promptly following the date hereof to prospective lenders (together with the Initial Term Lenders, the “Lenders”) in consultation with you and until the earlier to occur of (a) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Amended and Restated Fee Letter among us and you dated the date hereof (the “Amended and Restated Fee Letter”)) and (b) 60 days following the funding of the Term Facility (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lead Arrangers in forming a syndicate for the Term Facility reasonably acceptable to us and you; provided that such syndication shall not relieve the Commitment Parties of their respective obligations set forth herein (including their obligations to fund the Term Facility on the Closing Date on the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter) and, unless you agree in writing, the Commitment Parties shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to their respective commitments, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, waivers and amendments, until after the initial funding of the Term Facility on the Closing Date has occurred. Such syndication will be accomplished by a variety of means, including direct contact during the syndication for the Term Facility between senior management and advisors of the Borrower and the prospective lenders, which shall be reasonably acceptable to you. To assist the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you hereby agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts (a) to provide and cause your advisors to provide the Lead Arrangers and the syndicate members upon request with all customary information reasonably deemed necessary by the Lead Arrangers to complete syndication, including but not limited to information and evaluations prepared by you, your advisors or on your behalf relating to the Transactions; (b) to assist the Lead Arrangers upon request in the preparation of customary marketing materials (the “Marketing Materials”), including a customary

-3-

information memorandum with respect to the Term Facility in form and substance customary for transactions of this type and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers, to be used in connection with the syndication of the Term Facility (the “Confidential Information Memorandum”); (c) upon reasonable advanced notice to make available your senior officers and representatives, to make telephonic or in-person presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and/or the Acquired Business at one or more meetings of proposed lenders at such reasonable times and in such reasonable places (as the case may be) to be mutually agreed upon; (d) to obtain, prior to the commencement of syndication, a credit rating for the Term Facility and update the corporate and corporate family ratings, as applicable, for the Borrower from each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3 and our right to syndicate our commitment hereunder, it is agreed that the success of any syndication of and receipt of commitments in respect of all or any portion of our commitments hereunder prior to the funding of the Term Facility shall not be a condition to our commitments hereunder.

Subject to the terms hereof and limitations and your consent rights set forth herein, the Lead Arrangers will lead the syndication and will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication, including, without limitation, selection of lenders, determination of when the Lead Arrangers will approach potential lenders and the time of acceptance of the lenders’ commitments, any naming rights, the final allocations of the commitments among the lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the lenders. To assist the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, subject to the limitations in the preceding paragraph, upon the request of the Lead Arrangers, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly to prepare and provide to the Lead Arrangers the Marketing Materials with respect to you, and your subsidiaries and the Transactions, including annual projections of the Borrower (giving pro forma effect to the Transactions) through 2021 with respect to income statements and balance sheets (the “Projections”), that are not otherwise in any Lead Arranger’s possession and that the Lead Arrangers reasonably requests in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Term Facility.

Such Public Versions, together with any other information prepared by you or the Seller or your or its affiliates or representatives and conspicuously marked “Public” (collectively, the “Public Information”), which at a minimum means that the word “Public” will appear prominently on the first page of any such information, may be distributed by us to prospective Lenders who have advised us that they wish to receive only Non-MNPI (“Public Side Lenders”). You acknowledge and agree that, in addition to Public Information and unless you promptly notify us otherwise, (a) term sheets, drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Term Facility, (b) administrative materials prepared by the Commitment Parties for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda) and (c) notifications of changes in the terms of the Term Facility may be distributed to Public Side Lenders.

You agree to supplement the Information and the Projections from time to time until the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date so that the representation and covenant in the preceding sentence each remains correct, in all material respects as if the Information and Projections were being made available at such time.

Lenders:	The Commitment Parties (or one of their respective affiliates) and a syndicate of financial institutions and other lenders (the “Lenders”) arranged by the Lead Arrangers reasonably acceptable to the Borrower .
Closing Date:	The date that the initial loans are made under the Term Facility (the “Closing Date”).
Type and Amount:	First priority term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000.0 million (the “Term Facility”), which shall be secured on a pari passu basis with the loans made under the Existing Term Loan Agreement (as defined below).

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "OpenText" or the "Company". We wholly own all of our subsidiaries with the exception of Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa), GXS, Inc. (GXS Korea) and EC1 Pte. Ltd. (GXS Singapore), which as of September 30, 2016, were 90%, 85% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term “Fiscal 2017” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017; (ii) the term “Fiscal 2016” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2015 and ended June 30, 2016; (iii) the term “Fiscal 2015” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2014 and ended June 30, 2015; and (iv) the term "Fiscal 2014" means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2013 and ended June 30, 2014.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented and includes the financial results of Recommind, Inc. (Recommind), with effect from July 20, 2016, and certain customer communication management software and services assets and liabilities acquired from HP Inc. (CCM Business), with effect from July 31, 2016 (see note 18).

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) the realization of investment tax credits, (x) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xi) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xii) accounting for income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" (ASU 2016-15). ASU 2016-15 clarifies how companies should present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for us during the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-15 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us in our first quarter for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, with earlier adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01). This update requires that all equity investments be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). This update also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Additionally, this update eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public entities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-01 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Share-based Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for us during the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing how the adoption of this standard will impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, "Investments - Equity Method and Join Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to Equity Method of Accounting" (ASU 2016-07). The amendments in this update require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring any additional interest in an investee to the current basis of the investor's previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Upon qualifying for equity method accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. We adopted ASU 2016-07 in the first quarter of our Fiscal 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (ASU 2016-02), which supersedes the guidance in former ASC Topic 840 “Leases”. The most significant change will result in the recognition of lease assets for the right to use the underlying asset and lease liabilities for the obligation to make lease payments by lessees, for those leases classified as operating leases under current guidance. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows related to leases. This standard is effective for us for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the effect that the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although we have not completed our assessment, we do not expect the adoption to change the recognition, measurement or presentation of lease expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12, respectively. These updates supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" and nearly all other existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 identifies five steps to be followed to achieve this core principal, which include (i) identifying contract(s) with customers, (ii) identifying performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s) and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year. The new guidance will now be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. Early adoption, prior to the original effective date, is not permitted. When applying ASU 2014-09 we can either apply the amendments: (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09 or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined within ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the effect that the pending adoption of the above mentioned ASUs will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Although it is expected to have a significant impact on our revenue recognition policies and disclosures, we have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

There have been no other significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows as a result of our adoption of new accounting pronouncements or changes to our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Term Loan B

In connection with the acquisition of GXS Group, Inc. (GXS), on January 16, 2014, we entered into a credit facility, which provides for a $800 million term loan facility (Term Loan B).

Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with the Revolver (defined below). We entered into Term Loan B and borrowed the full amount on January 16, 2014.

Term Loan B has a seven year term and repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due at maturity. Borrowings under Term Loan B currently bear a floating rate of interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we recorded interest expense of $6.5 million, relating to Term Loan B (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—$6.5 million).

Revolver

We currently have a $300 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver). Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, and on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B.

Defined Benefit Plans

CDT Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's active employees. As of September 30, 2016, there is approximately $0.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT pension plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2017.

GXS Germany Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under the GXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. As of September 30, 2016, there is approximately $129.2 thousand in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS GER plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2017.

GXS Philippines Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired a primarily unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the GXS Philippines employees which provides for retirement, disability and survivors' benefits. Benefits under the GXS PHP plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which has a fair value of approximately $34.5 thousand as of September 30, 2016, no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. As of September 30, 2016, there is approximately $36.4 thousand in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS PHP plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2017.

Other plans include defined benefit pension plans that are offered by certain of our foreign subsidiaries. Many of these plans were assumed through our acquisitions or are required by local regulatory requirements. These other plans are primarily unfunded, with the aggregate projected benefit obligation included in our pension liability. The net periodic cost of these plans are determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

On September 23, 2016, at our annual general meeting, our shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of our 2004 stock option plan to reserve an additional 4,000,000 Common Shares for issuance under our 2004 Stock Option Plan. As of September 30, 2016, an aggregate of 4,521,770 options to purchase Common Shares were outstanding and an additional 6,356,843 options to purchase Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. Currently we also have options outstanding that vest over five years, as well as options outstanding that vest based on meeting certain market conditions. The exercise price of all our options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

A summary of activity under our stock option plans for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 is as follows:

	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic  Value ($’000s)
Outstanding at June 30, 2016	4,177,408		$	43.87
Granted	397,487		59.49
Exercised	(48,625	)	49.49
Forfeited or expired	(4,500	)	52.98
Outstanding at September 30, 2016	4,521,770		$	45.18	4.52	$	89,006
Exercisable at September 30, 2016	1,777,620		$	36.90	3.33	$	49,706

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or, where appropriate, the Monte Carlo Valuation Method, consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" (Topic 718) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of our stock options based upon historical data.

We believe that the valuation techniques and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of our stock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards.

For the periods indicated, the weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015
Weighted–average fair value of options granted	$	13.06		$	11.23
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility	29.42		%	32.65		%
Risk–free interest rate	1.03		%	1.48		%
Expected dividend yield	1.45		%	1.63		%
Expected life (in years)	4.33			4.33
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)	5		%	5		%
Average exercise share price	$	59.49		$	45.73

As of September 30, 2016, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately $25.0 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.

We have not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, cash in the amount of $2.4 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.1 million.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015, cash in the amount of $4.3 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.2 million.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

We incentivize our executive officers, in part, with long term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or Restricted Share Units (RSUs). Target PSUs become vested upon the achievement of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period. LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are described below. LTIP grants will be referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based upon the year in which the grants are expected to vest.

Fiscal 2016 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2014 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2016 LTIP) consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2014 starting on November 1, 2013. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2016 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2016 LTIP awards in stock during the second quarter of Fiscal 2017.

Fiscal 2017 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2015 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2017 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2015 starting on September 4, 2014. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2017 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2017 LTIP awards in stock.

Fiscal 2018 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2016 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2018 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2016 starting on August 23, 2015. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2018 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2018 LTIP awards in stock.

Fiscal 2019 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2017 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2019 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2017 starting on August 14, 2016. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2019 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2019 LTIP awards in stock.

PSUs and RSUs granted under the LTIPs have been measured at fair value as of the effective date, consistent with Topic 718, and will be charged to share-based compensation expense over the remaining life of the plan. Stock options granted under the LTIPs have been measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with Topic 718. We estimate the fair value of PSUs using the Monte Carlo pricing model and RSUs have been valued based upon their grant date fair value.

As of September 30, 2016, the total expected compensation cost related to the unvested LTIP awards not yet recognized was $21.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we granted 3,900 RSUs to employees in accordance with employment and other agreements (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—nil). The RSUs vest over a specified contract date, typically three years from the respective date of grants. We expect to settle the awards in stock.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we issued 4,167 Common Shares from our treasury stock, with a cost of $0.1 million, in connection with the settlement of vested RSUs (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—nil).

Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we granted 1,221 DSUs to certain non-employee directors (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—556). The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for directors fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. No DSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

Beginning January 1, 2016, our ESPP offers employees a purchase price discount of 15%. Any Common Shares that were issued under the ESPP prior to January 1, 2016 were issued at a purchase price discount of 5%.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, 51,816 Common Shares were eligible for issuance to employees enrolled in the ESPP.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, cash in the amount of approximately $2.9 million was received from employees relating to the ESPP (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—$1.0 million).

⁽¹⁾ Net of $6.2 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to third parties.

⁽²⁾ On September 12, 2016, we entered into a commitment letter with Barclays Bank PLC in connection with the Dell-EMC Acquisition (as defined in note 18). On September 26, 2016, we amended and restated the commitment letter (as amended and restated, the Commitment Letter) to add Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Royal Bank of Canada as lenders (together with Barclays Bank PLC, the Lenders). Under the Commitment Letter, we obtained a financing commitment from the Lenders, severally and not jointly, to provide a first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 billion to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Dell-EMC acquisition. Under the terms of the Commitment Letter, we are subject to fees of $5.0 million with a maximum fee payable up to $10.0 million. We have included our maximum fee exposure under “Purchase Obligations” in the table above, although the final fees that we pay could ultimately be less. The Commitment Letter terminates on March 14, 2017, subject to extension.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Occasionally, we enter into financial guarantees with third parties in the ordinary course of our business, including, among others, guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business. Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the aggregate of such estimated losses was not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Contingencies

As we have previously disclosed, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (Fiscal 2010) through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012), and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resulting structure. We also previously disclosed that the examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes that may be material, individually or in the aggregate, and that we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of these examinations, (which are ongoing), on July 17, 2015 we received from the IRS a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) in draft form proposing a one-time approximately $280 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes arising from the reorganization in Fiscal 2010 and proposing penalties equal to 20% of the additional taxes, plus interest at the applicable statutory rate (which will continue to accrue until the matter is resolved and may be substantial). A NOPA is an IRS position and does not impose an obligation to pay tax. The draft NOPA may be changed before the final NOPA is issued, including because the IRS reserved the right in the draft NOPA to increase the adjustment. Based on discussions with the IRS, we expect we will receive an additional NOPA proposing an approximately $80 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes for Fiscal 2012 arising from the integration of Global 360 Holding Corp. into the structure that resulted from the reorganization, accompanied by proposed penalties and interest (although there can be no assurance that this will be the amount reflected in the NOPA when received, including because the IRS may assign a higher value to our intellectual property). Depending upon the outcome of these matters, additional state income taxes plus penalties and interest may be due. We currently estimate that, as of September 30, 2016, adjustments under the draft NOPA in its present form and the anticipated additional NOPA could result in an aggregate liability of approximately $550 million, inclusive of U.S. federal and state taxes, penalties and interest.

We strongly disagree with the IRS’ position and intend to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income. We are examining various alternatives available to taxpayers to contest the proposed adjustments. Any such alternatives could involve a lengthy process and result in the incurrence of significant expenses. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any material accruals in respect of these examinations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. An adverse outcome of these tax examinations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we have inherited a tax dispute in Brazil between the Company’s subsidiary, GXS Tecnologia da Informação (Brasil) Ltda. (GXS Brazil), and the municipality of São Paulo, in connection with GXS Brazil’s judicial appeal of a tax claim in the amount of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2016. We currently have in place a bank guarantee in the amount of $4.0 million in recognition of this dispute. However, we believe that the position of the São Paulo tax authorities is not consistent with the relevant facts and based on information available on the case and other similar matters provided by local counsel, we believe that we can defend our position and that no tax is owed. Although we believe that the facts support our position, the ultimate outcome of this matter could result in a loss of up to the claim amount discussed above, plus future interest or penalties that may accrue.

Historically, prior to our acquisition of GXS, GXS would charge certain costs to its subsidiaries, including GXS Brazil, primarily based on historical transfer pricing studies that were intended to reflect the costs incurred by subsidiaries in relation to services provided by the parent company to the subject subsidiary. GXS recorded taxes on amounts billed, that were considered to be due based on the intercompany charges. GXS subsequently re-evaluated its intercompany charges to GXS Brazil and related taxes and, upon taking into consideration the current environment and judicial proceedings in Brazil, concluded that it was probable that certain indirect taxes would be assessable and payable based upon the accrual of such intercompany charges and has approximately $5.3 million accrued for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties.

Our Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was not appropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. We have filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.5 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate represents the net effect of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that are subject to a wide range of income tax rates.

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 and 2015, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015
Interest expense	$	1,282		$	1,777
Penalties expense (recoveries)	(106		)	(130		)
Total	$	1,176		$	1,647

As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	As of September 30, 2016		As of June 30, 2016
Interest expense accrued *	$	35,574	$	34,476
Penalties accrued *	$	1,540	$	1,615

* These balances have been included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 30, 2016, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $3.1 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. The earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2008 for Germany, 2010 for the United States, 2011 for Luxembourg, and 2012 for Canada.

We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Japan and Malaysia. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes. Statements regarding the United States audits are included in note 13.

The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of any change could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possible outcomes. For more information relating to certain tax audits, please refer to note 13.

As at September 30, 2016, we have provided $16.7 million (June 30, 2016—$15.9 million) in respect of both additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries, and planned periodic repatriations from certain United States and German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. We have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries, or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

The effective tax rate decreased to a recovery of 1,606.8% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, compared to a provision of 21.3% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015. The decrease to tax expense of $870.6 million was primarily due to a significant tax benefit of $876.1 million resulting from an internal reorganization that is further described below. Additionally, we saw an increase of $10.9 million resulting from the impact of foreign rates, and a decrease in changes in unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $2.2 million. The remainder of the differences were due to normal course movements and non-material items.

In July 2016, we implemented a reorganization of our subsidiaries worldwide with the view to continuing to enhance operational and administrative efficiencies through further consolidated ownership, management, and development of our intellectual property (IP) in Canada, continuing to reduce the number of entities in our group and working towards our objective of having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction. We believe our reorganization also reduces our exposure to global political and tax uncertainties, particularly in Europe. We believe that further consolidating our IP in Canada will continue to ensure appropriate legal protections for our consolidated IP, simplify legal, accounting and tax compliance, and improve our global cash management. A significant tax benefit of $876.1 million, associated primarily with the recognition of a net deferred tax asset arising from the entry of the IP into Canada, was realized in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017. We believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and therefore no valuation allowance is required. We continue to evaluate our taxable position quarterly and consider factors by taxing jurisdiction, including but not limited to factors such as estimated taxable income, any historical experience of losses for tax purposes and the future growth of OpenText.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value, in this context, should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value and addressing disclosure requirements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

• Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

• Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016:

*These assets in the table above are classified as Level 2 as certain specific assets included within may not have quoted prices that are readily accessible in an active market or we may have relied on alternative pricing methods that do not rely exclusively on quoted prices to determine the fair value of the investments.

Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparty to which has high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for these instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as, where applicable, foreign currency spot and forward rates.

Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at an amount that approximates their fair value (a Level 2 measurement) due to their short maturities.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 and 2015, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments are classified as available for sale securities and are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

A summary of our short-term investments outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 is as follows:

	As of September 30, 2016								As of June 30, 2016

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We are engaged in hedging programs with relationship banks to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows relating to a portion of our Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, which are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of our payroll exposure with typical maturities of between one and twelve months. We do not use derivatives for speculative purposes.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with Topic 815 we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of September 30, 2016, is recorded within "Prepaid expenses and other current assets”.

As of September 30, 2016, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $34.1 million (June 30, 2016—$33.2 million).

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Effect of Derivative Instruments on Financial Performance

Fiscal 2017 Restructuring Plan

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 and in the context of the acquisition of Recommind, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2017 Restructuring Plan). The Fiscal 2017 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

As of September 30, 2016, we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2017 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $2.0 million, of which $1.1 million has already been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 is shown below.

Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2015 and in the context of the acquisition of Actuate Corporation (Actuate), we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (OpenText/Actuate Restructuring Plan). We subsequently announced, on May 20, 2015 that we were initiating a restructuring program in conjunction with organizational changes to support our cloud strategy and drive further operational efficiencies. These charges are combined with the OpenText/Actuate Restructuring Plan (collectively referred to as the Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan) and are presented below. The Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Since the inception of the plan, $30.4 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges related to this plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 is shown below.

OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and in the context of the acquisition of GXS, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions, facility consolidations and other miscellaneous direct costs. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Since the inception of the plan, $24.9 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)". We do not expect to incur any further significant charges related to this plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 is shown below.

Acquisition-related costs

Included within "Special charges (recoveries)" for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 are costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions in the amount of $6.8 million (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—$0.2 million).

Other charges (recoveries)

ERP Implementation Costs

We are currently involved in a one-time project to implement a broad enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, we incurred costs of $2.4 million relating to the implementation of this project (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—$1.9 million).

Other charges

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, "Other charges" primarily include (i) $1.3 million relating to post-acquisition integration costs necessary to streamline an acquired company into our operations, (ii) $1.0 million relating to commitment fees, and (iii) $0.1 million relating to certain interest on pre-acquisition liabilities. These charges were offset by a recovery of $1.2 million relating to certain pre-acquisition sales and use tax liabilities being released upon becoming statute barred.

Included within "Other charges (recoveries)" for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015 is (i) a recovery of $0.2 million relating to certain pre-acquisition sales and use tax liabilities being released upon settlement or becoming statute barred and (ii) a recovery of $0.2 million relating to interest released on certain pre-acquisition liabilities.

ACQUISITIONS

Fiscal 2017 Acquisitions

Material Definitive Agreement

On September 12, 2016, we entered into a material definitive agreement with EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Dell-EMC) pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the enterprise content division of Dell-EMC (the Dell-EMC Acquisition). The purchase price for the Dell-EMC Acquisition is expected to be approximately $1.62 billion and is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

Purchase of an Asset Group Constituting a Business - CCM Business

On July 31, 2016, we acquired certain customer communications management software and services assets and liabilities from HP Inc. (CCM Business) for approximately $315.0 million, of which $2.8 million is currently held back and unpaid in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. In accordance with Topic 805 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805), this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition will complement our current software portfolio, and allow us to better serve our customers by offering a wider set of CCM capabilities.

The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning July 31, 2016.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation 

The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of July 31, 2016, are set forth below:

Current assets	$	262
Non-current deferred tax asset	6,916
Non-current tangible assets	2,348
Intangible customer assets	64,000
Intangible technology assets	101,000
Liabilities assumed	(36,403		)
Total identifiable net assets	138,123
Goodwill	176,877
Net assets acquired	$	315,000

The goodwill of $176.9 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $147.4 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the valuation of fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We expect to finalize this determination on or before June 30, 2017.

Acquisition-related costs for CCM Business included in "Special charges (recoveries)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 were $0.7 million.

The acquisition had no significant impact on revenues and net earnings for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, since the date of acquisition.

Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because they are not material to the consolidated results of operations.

Acquisition of Recommind, Inc.

On July 20, 2016, we acquired all of the equity interest in Recommind, a leading provider of eDiscovery and information analytics, for approximately $170.1 million. In accordance with Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition will complement our EIM solutions, and through eDiscovery and analytics, will provide increased visibility into structured and unstructured data.

The results of operations of Recommind have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning July 20, 2016.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation 

The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of July 20, 2016, are set forth below:

Current assets	$	30,034
Non-current tangible assets	1,245
Intangible customer assets	51,900
Intangible technology assets	24,800
Deferred tax liabilities	(4,049		)
Other liabilities assumed	(27,247		)
Total identifiable net assets	76,683
Goodwill	93,424
Net assets acquired	$	170,107

The goodwill of $93.4 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. No portion of this goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $28.7 million. The gross amount receivable was $29.6 million of which $0.9 million of this receivable was expected to be uncollectible.

The finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the valuation of fair value for taxation-related balances and for potential adjustments to assets and liabilities. We expect to finalize this determination on or before June 30, 2017.

Acquisition-related costs for Recommind included in "Special charges (recoveries)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016 were $0.6 million.

The acquisition had no significant impact on revenues and net earnings for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, since the date of acquisition.

Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because they are not material to the consolidated results of operations.

Fiscal 2016 Acquisitions

Acquisition of ANXe Business Corporation

On May 1, 2016, we acquired all of the equity interest in ANXe Business Corporation (ANX), a leading provider of cloud-based information exchange services to the automotive and healthcare industries, for approximately $104.6 million. In accordance with Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition will strengthen our industry presence and reach in the automotive and healthcare industries through strong customer relationships and targeted business partner collaboration solutions.

The results of operations of ANX have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning May 1, 2016.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation 

The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of May 1, 2016, are set forth below:

Current assets	$	9,712
Non-current tangible assets	511
Intangible customer assets	49,700
Intangible technology assets	5,600
Liabilities assumed	(26,190		)
Total identifiable net assets	39,333
Goodwill	65,237
Net assets acquired	$	104,570

The goodwill of $65.2 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $7.0 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $5.7 million. The gross amount receivable was $5.8 million of which $0.1 million of this receivable was expected to be uncollectible.

The finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the valuation of fair value for taxation-related balances and for potential adjustments to assets and liabilities. We expect to finalize this determination on or before March 31, 2017.

Purchase of an Asset Group Constituting a Business - CEM Business

On April 30, 2016, we acquired certain customer experience software and services assets and liabilities from HP Inc. (CEM Business) for approximately $160.0 million. Previously, $7.3 million was held back and unpaid in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. This amount has since been released and paid during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016. In accordance with Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition will complement our current software portfolio, particularly our Customer Experience Management and Cloud offerings.

The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning April 30, 2016.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation 

The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of April 30, 2016, are set forth below:

Intangible technology assets	47,000
Liabilities assumed	(26,106		)
Total identifiable net assets	69,561
Goodwill	90,439
Net assets acquired	$	160,000

The goodwill of $90.4 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $77.0 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the valuation of fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We expect to finalize this determination on or before March 31, 2017.

Adjustments made to goodwill in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 in the amount of $0.3 million primarily related to working capital adjustments.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, attributable to OpenText, by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, attributable to OpenText, by the shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus the dilutive effect of Common Share equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of the Audit Committee and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest in the transaction. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Audit Committee generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned$0.7 million (three months endedSeptember 30, 2015—$6.0 thousand) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) the realization of investment tax credits, (x) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xi) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xii) accounting for income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" (ASU 2016-15). ASU 2016-15 clarifies how companies should present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for us during the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-15 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us in our first quarter for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, with earlier adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01). This update requires that all equity investments be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). This update also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Additionally, this update eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public entities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-01 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Share-based Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for us during the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing how the adoption of this standard will impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, "Investments - Equity Method and Join Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to Equity Method of Accounting" (ASU 2016-07). The amendments in this update require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring any additional interest in an investee to the current basis of the investor's previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Upon qualifying for equity method accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. We adopted ASU 2016-07 in the first quarter of our Fiscal 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (ASU 2016-02), which supersedes the guidance in former ASC Topic 840 “Leases”. The most significant change will result in the recognition of lease assets for the right to use the underlying asset and lease liabilities for the obligation to make lease payments by lessees, for those leases classified as operating leases under current guidance. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows related to leases. This standard is effective for us for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the effect that the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although we have not completed our assessment, we do not expect the adoption to change the recognition, measurement or presentation of lease expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12, respectively. These updates supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" and nearly all other existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 identifies five steps to be followed to achieve this core principal, which include (i) identifying contract(s) with customers, (ii) identifying performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s) and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year. The new guidance will now be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. Early adoption, prior to the original effective date, is not permitted. When applying ASU 2014-09 we can either apply the amendments: (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09 or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined within ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the effect that the pending adoption of the above mentioned ASUs will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Although it is expected to have a significant impact on our revenue recognition policies and disclosures, we have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

There have been no other significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows as a result of our adoption of new accounting pronouncements or changes to our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
