OpenText Increases Share Repurchase Program to US$500 Million

[10-February-2026]

WATERLOO, ON, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX) (the Company), today announced that it has increased its previously announced Fiscal 2026 share repurchase program by US$200 million, whereby it intends to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum aggregate value of US$500 million of its common shares (Common Shares) pursuant to a normal course issuer bid (NCIB). The maximum number of Common Shares that may be acquired under the NCIB will remain unchanged at the 24,906,456 Common Shares, which was previously approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).

"Our share repurchase program is an important component of the OpenText capital allocation strategy," said Steve Rai, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. "We are raising our authorized limits under our current share repurchase program from US$300 million to US$500 million, given our confidence in our robust cash flow engine."

The NCIB is in effect for the 12-month period that commenced August 12, 2025 and terminates August 11, 2026 (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. Under the NCIB, the Company also has an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) with its broker to facilitate repurchases of the Common Shares, and purchases of Common Shares made under such ASPP will be included in determining the number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB.

During Fiscal 2026, the Company has purchased for cancellation approximately US$190 million of Common Shares (as of January 31, 2026), of which approximately 5 million Common Shares for an aggregate value of approximately US$165 million have been purchased and cancelled since the beginning of the NCIB.
