    WATERLOO, ON, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX:OTEX) (the Company), today announced that it has increased its previously announced Fiscal 2025 normal course issuer bid (NCIB) by US$150 million, to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum aggregate value of US$450 million of its common shares (Common Shares). The maximum number of Common Shares that may be acquired under the NCIB will remain unchanged at the 21,179,064 Common Shares previously approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).  Further, as part of the NCIB, it has established an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) with its broker to facilitate repurchases of the Common Shares.  

    OpenText (PRNewsfoto/Open Text Corporation)

    "Our share repurchase program is an important component of the OpenText capital allocation strategy," said Mark J. Barrenechea, OpenText CEO & CTO. "We have confidence in our business and operating model to generate strong margins, cash flows and long-term shareholder value and, as a result, we are raising our authorized limits under our current share repurchase program by 50% to US$450 million."

    The NCIB is in effect for the 12-month period that commenced August 7, 2024 and terminates August 6, 2025 (subject to earlier termination where the maximum purchase limits under the NCIB have been reached). Common Shares can be repurchased under the NCIB in open market transactions on the TSX, the NASDAQ Global Select Market and/or alternative trading systems in Canada and/or the United States, if eligible, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules. Since the beginning of the NCIB, the Company has purchased for cancellation approximately 8.9 million Common Shares for an aggregate value of approximately US$258 million. 

    Under the terms of the ASPP, the Company's broker will be permitted to make purchases at its sole discretion based on parameters set by the Company in accordance with TSX rules, applicable law and the terms of the ASPP, during periods when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to make purchases, whether due to regulatory restriction or customary self-imposed blackout periods.  Outside of such periods, Common Shares can be purchased based on management's discretion, in compliance with TSX rules and applicable law.  

    All purchases of Common Shares made under the ASPP will be included in determining the number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB. The Company is not currently in possession of any material undisclosed information in relation to the Company. The ASPP has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will be effective on March 14, 2025.  The ASPP will terminate on the earliest of the date on which: (a) the maximum purchase limits under the NCIB are reached; (b) August 6, 2025; or (c) the Company terminates the ASPP in accordance with its terms.
