Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
Open Text Corporation (“OpenText”) is furnishing certain unaudited financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“Non-GAAP”), and certain related reconciliations to the most directly comparable measure under U.S. GAAP, and last twelve months (“LTM”) financial data, which information is included in each respective offering memorandum for the proposed offerings described under 8.01 below. The disclosure is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. In addition, this information shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any filing under the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in any such filing.
Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On November 9, 2021, OpenText issued a press release announcing proposed offerings of $1.0 billion in total aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured fixed rate notes by OpenText and Open Text Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of OpenText and a corporation incorporated under the laws of Delaware (“OTHI”).
OpenText intends to use the substantial portion of the net proceeds from the offerings to (i) redeem in full the outstanding $850 million aggregate principal amount of OpenText’s 5.875% notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and pay the make-whole premium of $25 million that will be paid in connection with such redemption of the 2026 Notes and (ii) pay related fees and expenses; and OpenText expects to use the balance of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions. The aggregate amount of the make-whole premium that will be paid in connection with the redemption of the 2026 Notes and the write-off of approximately $2.5 million (before-tax) of unamortized debt issuance and unamortized premium costs will be reflected as a charge to Other income (expense), net in OpenText’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
The proposed offerings consist of OpenText’s senior unsecured fixed rate notes due 2029 (the “OTC notes”), guaranteed initially on a senior unsecured basis by OpenText’s existing wholly-owned subsidiaries that borrow or guarantee OpenText’s obligations under its existing senior credit facilities, and OTHI’s senior unsecured fixed rate notes due 2031 (the “OTHI notes” and collectively with the OTC notes, the “notes”), guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by OpenText and initially guaranteed by OpenText’s existing wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than OTHI) that borrow or guarantee OpenText’s obligations under its existing senior credit facilities. The precise timing, size and terms of the offerings (including the size of each offering) are subject to market conditions and other factors. The press release announcing the proposed offerings is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
The notes and related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act. The notes and related guarantees may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), except to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes and related guarantees will be offered in Canada under available prospectus exemptions.
This filing shall not constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes, dated as of May 31, 2016. Any such notice, if made, will only be made in accordance with the provisions of the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. There can be no assurances as to whether OpenText will actually implement any such redemption.

(1) | In addition to those Non-GAAP measures included, and reconciled, in OpenTexts reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this disclosure contains the following Non-GAAP financial measures: earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA), which further adjusts EBITDA to exclude share-based compensation, other income (expense), net and special charges (recoveries) related to restructurings and acquisitions; and EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin which are calculated as EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, divided by revenues as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
(2) | EBITDA Margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by revenues as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
(3) | Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
This disclosure provides reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable measure under U.S. GAAP. OpenText believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin improve comparability from period to period by excluding the distorting effect 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 Companys management. OpenText believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are measures widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the financial performance of companies in OpenTexts industry. Other companies may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently, and, therefore, OpenTexts measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as noted in the above and in the following table, are significant and necessary components of the operations of OpenTexts business. Given the foregoing limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should only be used as supplemental measures of OpenTexts operating performance.

Waterloo, ON November 9, 2021 Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX) (TSX: OTEX) (OpenText or the Company) announced today proposed offerings of $1.0 billion in total aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured fixed rate notes by OpenText and Open Text Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect U.S. subsidiary of OpenText (OTHI).

The proposed offerings consist of OpenTexts senior unsecured fixed rate notes due 2029 (the OTC notes), guaranteed initially on a senior unsecured basis by OpenTexts existing wholly-owned subsidiaries that borrow or guarantee OpenTexts obligations under its existing senior credit facilities, and OTHIs senior unsecured fixed rate notes due 2031 (the OTHI notes and collectively with the OTC notes, the notes), guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by OpenText and initially guaranteed by OpenTexts existing wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than OTHI) that borrow or guarantee OpenTexts obligations under its existing senior credit facilities.
