WATERLOO, ON, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Open Text Corporation (the "Company" or "OpenText") (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX) today announced that it has commenced, subject to market and customary conditions, a proposed offering of senior secured notes of one or more series (collectively, the "Notes") pursuant to Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") and Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by OpenText's existing wholly-owned subsidiaries that are guarantors or co-obligors under OpenText's senior secured credit facilities, term loan credit agreement and its 6.900% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"). The Notes and related guarantees will be secured on the same basis as the Company's senior secured credit facilities, term loan credit agreement and 2027 Notes.

OpenText intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed offering to fund (i) the redemption in full of the outstanding $1.0 billion principal amount of its 2027 Notes, including the payment of the applicable redemption premium, accrued and unpaid interest and related costs and expenses and (ii) all or a portion of the consideration for any of its outstanding 3.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") accepted for purchase in the tender offer by the Company for such 2028 Notes, up to an aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes that will not exceed $450 million (subject to increase or decrease by the Company), plus accrued and unpaid interest and related costs and expenses (the "Tender Offer"). To the extent the financing condition applicable to such redemption or the Tender Offer is otherwise met or waived, the Company may use cash on hand to fund any portion of the redemption or the Tender Offer and such related amounts, as applicable. Any remaining net proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for general corporate purposes.

The precise timing, size and terms of the proposed offering are subject to market conditions and other factors.

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 have not been and will not be qualified for sale to the public by prospectus under applicable Canadian securities laws and, accordingly, any offer and sale of the Notes in Canada will be made on a basis which is exempt from the prospectus requirements of such securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration, qualification or exemption under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

This press release shall not constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the 2027 Notes, and such redemption is subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable notice of redemption, including the financing condition described therein. Such notice has been made only in accordance with the provisions of the indenture governing the 2027 Notes.
