shareholders of Open Text Corporation (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) approved the continuation, amendment and restatement of the shareholder rights plan (the &#8220;Amended Rights Plan&#8221;) that the Company and Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the &#8220;Rights Agent&#8221;) originally entered into as of December 2, 2010. Upon such shareholder approval, the Amended Rights Plan was entered into as of September 26, 2013. The Rights Agent also acts as transfer agent for the Company, as trustee to the Company's employee benefit trust and from time to time in connection with acquisitions, as escrow agent for the Company.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:9px;padding-top:9px;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Amended Rights Plan continues (with the changes described below) a right (which may only be exercised if a person acquires control of 20% or more of the Company's common shares) for each shareholder, other than the person that acquires 20% or more of the common shares, to acquire additional common shares at one-half of the market price at the time of exercise. The primary objectives of the Amended Rights Plan are to ensure that, in the context of a bid for control of the Company through an acquisition of the common shares, the Company's Board of Directors has sufficient time to assess alternatives for maximizing shareholder value as it considers in its judgment to be in the best interests of the Company, including: continued implementation of the Company's long-term strategic plans, as these may be modified by the Company from time to time; to provide adequate time for competing bids to emerge; to ensure that shareholders have an equal opportunity to participate in such a bid and to give them adequate time to properly assess the bid; and lessen the pressure to tender typically encountered by a securityholder of an issuer that is subject to a bid.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The changes to the Amended Rights Plan approved by the Company's shareholders on September 26, 2013 are as follows: </font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The definition of &#8220;control&#8221;, which is used in the determination of a person's ownership of common shares, has been narrowed to apply only to control of a corporation, which would not apply, for example, to control of other entities such as limited partnerships or trusts. The purpose of this modification is to minimize concerns that the Amended Rights Plan may be inadvertently triggered or triggered as a result of an aggregation of holdings of investment funds or trusts under common management or otherwise related in circumstances in which such funds or trusts are not participating in an acquisition of common shares. To the extent that any such fund or trust acts jointly or in concert with a person that acquires common shares, their common shares will, subject to certain exceptions, be aggregated for the purposes of the Amended Rights Plan;</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The provisions of the Amended Rights Plan which address the effective date and shareholder review of the Amended Rights Plan have been revised to specify the shareholder approval required to continue the Amended Rights Plan in 2016 by any stock exchange on which the common shares may then be listed.

The amendments are intended to: (i) provide for advance notice of nominations of directors (the "Advance Notice Amendments") in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors are made by shareholders other than pursuant to a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Canada Business Corporations Act</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;("CBCA") or a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the CBCA. The Advance Notice Amendments fix deadlines by which a shareholder must notify the Company of nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and also stipulate that certain information about any proposed nominee be included in such a notice in order for it to be valid; (ii) provide for uncertificated securities evidenced through an electronic, book-based, direct registration service or other non-certificated entry or position on the register of shareholders to be kept by the Company (in addition to common shares being evidenced by security certificates); (iii) clarify that the indemnification of directors and officers of the Company pursuant to the By-laws is in addition to, and does not limit, any other rights of indemnification of the directors and officers; (iv) permit notices to be provided by email or other forms of electronic message; and (v) implement other changes of a "house-keeping" nature.  The Board of Directors do not consider the amendments to the By-laws to be material and the amendments do not impact the substantive rights of the Company's common shares.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#393939;">A copy of the By-laws is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 5.07&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#393939;">(a) At the Annual and Special Meeting </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">of shareholders of the Company (the &#8220;Annual and Special Meeting&#8221;) held on September 26, 2013, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#393939;">the proposals listed below were submitted to a vote of the shareholders.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#393939;">(b) At the Annual and Special Meeting, each of the proposals was approved by the shareholders pursuant to the voting results set forth below.
