On May 25, 2016, Open Text Corporation (“OpenText” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company has priced its offering of U.S.$600 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “notes”), guaranteed initially on a senior unsecured basis by OpenText’s existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that borrow or guarantee OpenText’s obligations under its existing senior credit facilities. The offering was upsized from the previously announced U.S.$500 million aggregate principal amount. The press release announcing the pricing of the offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
The notes and related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The notes and related guarantees may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), except to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes and related guarantees will be offered in Canada under available prospectus exemptions.
OpenText intends to use the net proceeds of the proposed offering discussed above for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions.
