Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 of Actuate Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the &#147;<B>Company</B>&#148;), initially filed on December&nbsp;16, 2014, and amended on December&nbsp;18, 2014,&nbsp;December&nbsp;22,
2014,&nbsp;January&nbsp;2, 2015 and January&nbsp;9, 2015 (as amended, the &#147;<B>Initial Schedule 14D-9</B>&#148;). The Initial Schedule 14D-9 and this Amendment relate to the tender offer by Asteroid Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (&#147;<B>Purchaser</B>&#148;) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Open Text Corporation, a Canadian corporation (&#147;<B>Parent</B>&#148; or &#147;<B>OpenText</B>&#148;), to purchase all Shares (as defined in the Initial Schedule 14D-9 in
Item&nbsp;1 under the heading &#147;Class of Securities&#148;) that are issued and outstanding, at a price of $6.60 per Share net to the seller in cash (the &#147;<B>Offer Price</B>&#148;), without interest thereon and subject to any required
withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated December&nbsp;16, 2014 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the &#147;<B>Offer to Purchase</B>&#148;), and the related
Letter of Transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the &#147;<B>Letter of Transmittal</B>&#148; and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the &#147;<B>Offer</B>&#148;), which were filed with the Initial Schedule 14D-9 and
are incorporated by reference as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) thereto, and are incorporated by reference herein. Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Initial Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated
by reference as relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Initial Schedule 14D-9. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Beginning on January&nbsp;1, 2015, the Company voluntarily provided to the plaintiff certain internal documents related to the Proposed
Transaction. On January&nbsp;9, 2015, the parties to the Action entered into a memorandum of understanding (the &#147;<B>MOU</B>&#148;) reflecting the terms of an agreement, subject to final approval by the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware, to settle the Action. Pursuant to the MOU, the defendants agreed to make certain supplemental disclosures set forth in Amendment No. 4 to this Schedule&nbsp;14D-9. The MOU further provides that, among other things, (a)&nbsp;the parties
will enter into a definitive stipulation of settlement (the &#147;<B>Stipulation</B>&#148;) and will submit the Stipulation to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for review and approval, (b)&nbsp;the Stipulation will provide for
dismissal of the Action, (c)&nbsp;the Stipulation will include a general release of Defendants of claims relating to the allegations in the Action, the Offer, the Merger, and the Merger Agreement and (d)&nbsp;the proposed settlement is conditioned
on consummation of the Merger, completion of confirmatory discovery, and final approval by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding the MOU, there can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated or that the court will
approve the settlement contemplated by the MOU. The settlement will not affect the amount of consideration that the Company&#146;s stockholders are entitled to receive in connection with the Proposed Transaction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Defendants deny all liability with respect to the allegations in the Action and specifically deny that any breach of fiduciary duty occurred,
or that any further disclosure is required to supplement the Schedule 14D-9 under any applicable rule, statute, regulation, or law. To avoid the risk that litigation may delay or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of the Merger, to minimize
the expense of defending such litigation, to remove the distraction of continued litigation, and to provide additional information to our stockholders at a time and in a manner that would not cause any delay of the closing of the Offer or the
Merger, Defendants have agreed to the terms of the proposed settlement described above. </P>
