Open Text Corporation (&#147;OpenText&#148;) and Asteroid Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of OpenText (&#147;Purchaser&#148;), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;Merger
Agreement&#148;) with Actuate Corporation, a Delaware corporation (&#147;Actuate&#148;). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, among other things, Purchaser commenced a tender offer on
December&nbsp;16, 2014, to acquire all of the shares of common stock of Actuate, including the associated preferred stock purchase right issued under Actuate&#146;s rights agreement (each, a &#147;Share&#148;), that were issued and outstanding, at a
purchase price of $6.60 per share in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any required withholding taxes (the &#147;Offer Price&#148;), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December&nbsp;16, 2015 (as
amended or supplemented, the &#147;Offer to Purchase&#148;), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended or supplemented, the &#147;Letter of Transmittal and together with the Offer to Purchase, the &#147;Offer&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Offer expired at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on Friday, January&nbsp;16, 2015. The Depositary for the Offer has indicated that a total of 39,385,288
Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures but not yet delivered and Shares that were owned as of the date of the commencement of the Offer by Actuate, OpenText or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Actuate or OpenText) were validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of the Offer. The validly tendered Shares represent approximately 86.6% of the Shares outstanding as of the
expiration of the Offer. In addition, notices of guaranteed delivery have been delivered with respect to 945,157 Shares. The number of Shares tendered into the Offer satisfied the Minimum Tender Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as of
the expiration of the Offer. All conditions to the Offer have been satisfied. Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn, in accordance with the terms of the Offer. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;16, 2015, following the expiration of the Offer and acceptance for payment of the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, OpenText completed
its acquisition of Actuate pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser merged with and into Actuate (the &#147;Merger&#148;), with Actuate surviving the Merger as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of OpenText, pursuant to the procedure provided for under Section&nbsp;251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), without any stockholder approvals. As a result of the Merger, each Share
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement), without interest thereon and subject to any required
withholding taxes (which is the same amount per Share that will be paid in the Offer), other than Shares held (i)&nbsp;by OpenText or Purchaser or any wholly-owned subsidiary of OpenText or Actuate, which Shares were canceled and ceased to exist
without payment being made with respect to such Shares, or (ii)&nbsp;by Actuate stockholders who are entitled to and who validly exercise appraisal rights under DGCL Section&nbsp;262 with respect to such Shares. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center">Actuate Adds Powerful Analytics to OpenText </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Waterloo, ON &#150; January&nbsp;16, 2015 &#150;</B> OpenText&#153; (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in <U>Enterprise Information Management
(EIM)</U>, today announced that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Asteroid Acquisition Corporation, it has successfully completed its acquisition of Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ: BIRT), the leader in personalized analytics and insights. Actuate
brings powerful analytics to the OpenText portfolio of products that enable customers to analyze and visualize a broad range of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Complementing OpenText&#146;s existing information management and B2B integration offerings, Actuate offers increased business process efficiencies, greater
brand experience and personalized insight for better and faster decisions via analytics and visualization. OpenText customers will now benefit from added analytic capabilities to their existing deployments and a new breed of analytics that provide
insight across entire business flows. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;OpenText is committed to leading the EIM market place, and analytics is an imperative to enabling a
Digital-First World,&#148; said Mark J. Barrenechea, president and chief executive officer of OpenText. &#147;Actuate is a market leading provider of analytics, visualization and big-data insights, with 20 years of experience enabling large
enterprises, the embedded markets, and the developer. It is an honor to welcome Actuate customers, employees and partners to OpenText.&#148;</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Actuate will
continue to serve the embedded analytics market, the developer, and will be deeply integrated into OpenText Products and OpenText, enabling OpenText to deliver analytics for the entire EIM suite based on a common platform, greatly reducing the total
cost of ownership for OpenText customers and providing a comprehensive view that enables business insight on a more elevated, strategic level. Designed to be embeddable, developers can use the platform to enrich nearly any application, whether it is
deployed on premises or in the cloud. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The founder of the popular integrated development environment (IDE), BIRT, Actuate developed BIRT iHub&#153;, a
world-class deployment platform that significantly improves the productivity of developers working on customer-facing applications. Currently, more than 3.5&nbsp;million BIRT developers and OEMs use Actuate to build scalable, secure solutions that
deliver personalized analytics and insights to more than 200&nbsp;million customers, partners and employees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The previously announced tender offer
expired at 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on Friday, January&nbsp;16, 2015, and was not extended. The depositary for the tender offer advised Asteroid Acquisition Corporation that, as of the expiration of the tender offer, a total of 39,385,288
shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the tender offer, representing a total of approximately 86.6% of Actuate&#146;s outstanding shares (excluding shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures but not yet delivered and
shares that were owned as of the dated of the commencement of the tender offer by Actuate, OpenText or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Actuate or OpenText). In addition, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered with
respect to 945,157 shares. Asteroid Acquisition Corporation accepted for payment all shares tendered in the tender offer and will pay for all such tendered shares as soon as practicable in accordance with the terms of the offer. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Asteroid Acquisition Corporation subsequently completed the merger without a vote of Actuate&#146;s stockholders pursuant to Section&nbsp;251(h) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, with Actuate surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OpenText. Actuate shares ceased trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on January&nbsp;16, 2015. In connection with the merger, all remaining Actuate
shares (other than shares held by OpenText or Actuate or any of their wholly-owned subsidiaries or held by any Actuate stockholder who properly exercised appraisal rights under Section&nbsp;262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) not validly
tendered into, or withdrawn from, the tender offer will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive US$6.60 per share in cash, the same consideration per share offered in the tender offer. </P>
