TALENT AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Talent and Compensation Committee of Open Text’s Board (the Talent and Compensation Committee) has reviewed and discussed with our management the following Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A). Based on this review and discussion, our Talent and Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board that the following CD&A be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2026.

This report is provided by the following independent directors, who comprise our Talent and Compensation Committee:

George Schindler, Goldy Hyder, Fletcher Previn and Margaret Stuart.

To the extent that this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been or will be specifically incorporated by reference into any filing by us under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, this “Talent and Compensation Committee Report” shall not be deemed “soliciting materials”, unless specifically otherwise provided in any such filing.

LETTER FROM OUR TALENT AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Dear Shareholders,

The Talent and Compensation Committee’s primary responsibility is to ensure that our executive compensation program attracts, retains and motivates the best talent in the technology industry while aligning with shareholder interests and responding to your feedback. Say-on-Pay results are an important factor in our decisions regarding the structure and implementation of our executive compensation programs, and we carefully consider shareholder concerns in our ongoing evaluation and refinement of these programs.

At our 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders (AGM), approximately 90% of shareholders who voted their shares supported our Say-on-Pay proposal, a significant improvement from prior years. While we view this momentum as encouraging, we recognize the importance of continuing to proactively engage with our shareholders to understand their perspectives on our executive compensation program as we continue to refine it.

Throughout the last three years, our independent Board members engaged regularly with our large institutional investors to gain feedback on our executive compensation program. Through that ongoing dialogue, we discussed a full range of topics including peer group composition, pay for performance alignment with shareholder interests, and executive compensation matters in connection with the CEO transition. We engaged with governance representatives of our top 25 largest shareholders on executive compensation and other governance matters, and reviewed proxy advisory firm reports to understand their perspectives on specific elements of our compensation program and to incorporate relevant feedback. Throughout that time, we made substantive changes to our compensation program, honoring commitments while striving for program design sustainability, shareholder alignment and attraction and retention of executive talent.

In Fiscal 2026, we received feedback that the changes we made throughout the past three years have strengthened pay-for-performance alignment and effectively addressed shareholders’ concerns. The Talent and Compensation Committee believes the actions undertaken in prior years (summarized below) continue to align with shareholder interests and remain appropriate for Fiscal 2027. Accordingly, no material structural changes to the program were made for Fiscal 2027. The Talent and Compensation Committee is committed to ensuring that compensation outcomes for Fiscal 2027 will be aligned with Company performance and shareholder experience. The Talent and Compensation Committee remains committed to ongoing engagement and regularly reviews the executive compensation program to support continued alignment with the long-term interests of our shareholders.

Evolution of our Executive Compensation Program and Changes Maintained For Fiscal 2027:

Program ChangeWhy We Made This Change
Peer Group UpdatesIn Fiscal 2025, we refined our named executive peer group. Eight companies were replaced with six new peers to better align with our market capitalization, while continuing to reflect our revenue profile, operational complexity, industry sector and talent market. For Canadian-based executive hires, including our CEO, we also benchmark pay levels against the TSX 60 companies. This approach reflects our size, industry presence, and competitive talent landscape, and we will continue to calibrate our peer group as necessary.
Predictable and Transparent LTIP AwardsWe maintain our commitment to deliver long-term incentive (LTI) awards through the regular long-term incentive plan (LTIP) program, without special one-time awards. Newly hired executives may also receive new hire equity grants in connection with their appointment, consistent with competitive market practice and intended to align their interests with those of our shareholders from the outset of their tenure.
Strengthened Pay-for-Performance AlignmentThe following program design improvements are being maintained for Fiscal 2027 to ensure a focus on pay for performance and alignment with shareholder interests:•PSU cap for negative TSR: Performance share unit (PSU) payouts are capped at 100% of target if absolute TSR is negative, regardless of relative performance (in addition to the 55th percentile relative TSR target requirement which sets a higher bar for a “target” payout, relative to prevalent market practice).•Higher Short-Term Incentive (STI) thresholds: Starting in Fiscal 2026, (i) the minimum performance threshold was raised to 95% of target (from 90%), and (ii) the performance threshold required to earn the maximum STI payout was raised to 104% of target for both Revenue and Adjusted Operating Income (AOI). These revised thresholds were informed by a benchmarking review of peer and broader market data to ensure the performance ranges reflect competitive and rigorous standards.•Removal of stock options from the annual LTI vehicle mix: Annual grants now consist of 55% PSUs and 45% restricted share units (RSUs) for NEOs other than the CEO. Our new CEO’s LTI mix was set with a higher weighting to PSUs (70%, with the residual 30% in RSUs). Stock options are reserved for new hire grants only to align new executives with shareholders immediately.

Board and Talent and Compensation Committee Refreshment: Our Board continues to look at ways to strengthen its skills and experience needed to oversee the Company’s strategic priorities. To ensure our Board composition continues to reflect these evolving needs and incorporate fresh perspectives, we have appointed seven new members over the past three years: Goldy Hyder, Annette Rippert, Fletcher Previn, George Schindler, John Hastings, Margaret Stuart, and Jill Larsen. These new directors have bolstered the Board’s expertise in areas of public and international policy, information technology, strategy, executive compensation, communications and finance. Further, over the past two years, our Talent and Compensation Committee has been fully refreshed with all new members. As part of our mandate as a newly composed Talent and Compensation Committee, we are expected to provide fresh perspectives, current market insight, and relevant expertise that supports rigorous oversight of compensation programs and alignment with evolving shareholder expectations and governance best practices. See Item 10 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on our Board members.

Key Executive Leadership Changes: In line with our talent and compensation philosophy, the Board has overseen the refreshment of OpenText’s Executive Leadership Team over the course of the last three fiscal years. The majority of the members of the Executive Leadership Team have been appointed within that period. Our leadership team brings extensive global technology company and industry experience reflecting the external market for top executive talent. Two new Named Executive Officers were appointed in Fiscal 2026. Following rigorous search processes, the Board appointed Ayman Antoun as Chief Executive Officer and Steve Rai as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Antoun brings deep experience in enterprise technology and global go-to-market leadership and is expected to accelerate OpenText’s strategic priorities and AI-first agenda. Mr. Rai brings significant financial leadership experience in the global technology sector and is expected to strengthen OpenText’s financial strategy and operational execution. Together, these appointments reflect the Board’s commitment to assembling a leadership team capable of driving sustainable growth, operational excellence, and long-term value creation for shareholders.

CEO Compensation: In connection with Mr. Antoun’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the Talent and Compensation Committee conducted a thorough review of CEO compensation to ensure it is competitive, performance-oriented, reflective of the scope and complexity of the role and structured in accordance with updated program design and market practice reflecting shareholder feedback. Mr. Antoun’s target total compensation is positioned below the median of our peer group and in line with market practice of TSX 60 companies. His annual LTIP award consists of 70% PSUs and 30% RSUs. Mr. Antoun received a sign-on equity award consisting of stock options with a target value of $2.0 million and RSUs with a target value of $2.0 million, intended to align his interests with those of our shareholders from the outset of his tenure.

Engagement with our shareholders remains a fundamental and ongoing commitment. We are committed to continue to listen carefully to shareholder perspectives and use that feedback to inform our compensation practices. We are grateful for the candid dialogue with our shareholders, and we believe it has meaningfully shaped the decisions reflected in the CD&A. We remain dedicated to earning shareholder confidence through transparency, accountability, and continued progress and we will continue to evaluate our program in light of future shareholder feedback and market developments.

Sincerely,

The Talent and Compensation Committee

Section I - Chief Executive Officer Transition

During Fiscal 2026, the Company underwent a CEO transition involving the departure of the prior CEO, the appointment of an interim CEO to maintain continuity, and the selection and appointment of our current CEO, Ayman Antoun, following a comprehensive search process. Each of these steps is described below.

Departure of Prior CEO

Effective August 11, 2025, Mark Barrenechea ceased to serve as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and Vice Chairman of the Board. In connection with his departure, Mr. Barrenechea received severance payments consistent with the terms of his employment agreement, and the Board did not exercise any discretion to provide favourable treatment beyond the terms of that agreement and applicable award agreements. See Summary Compensation Table under Section VI—Other Elements of Our Compensation Program for more information.

Appointment of Interim CEO

Upon Mr. Barrenechea’s departure, the Board appointed James McGourlay as Interim CEO. The Board’s decision reflected Mr. McGourlay’s exceptional qualifications and deep institutional knowledge. As a 25-year veteran of the Company, he brought broad senior leadership experience spanning sales, operations, client success, and technology, which made him uniquely positioned to provide stability and continuity during the transition.

Throughout his tenure as Interim CEO, Mr. McGourlay drew on this breadth of experience to provide effective and steady leadership across the organization, maintaining operational momentum and preserving continuity for employees, clients, and shareholders alike. Following the conclusion of his service as Interim CEO, Mr. McGourlay continues to serve OpenText as President, Chief Client Officer.

Selection of Ayman Antoun to serve as CEO

Effective April 20, 2026, Ayman Antoun was appointed as OpenText’s CEO. Mr. Antoun brings more than three decades of global technology, operating discipline, and transformation leadership to OpenText, built over a seasoned career in the information technology industry. He held numerous executive roles over 35 years at IBM, most recently serving as President of IBM Americas from 2020 to 2023, where he led the company’s largest and most complex business across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, driving major advancements in cloud, infrastructure, cybersecurity, cognitive solutions, and digital modernization.

When constructing Mr. Antoun’s compensation package, the Talent and Compensation Committee considered prior shareholder feedback, Mr. Antoun’s extensive experience and qualifications, the competitive market for technology executive talent, benchmark data from both our industry peer group as well as the TSX 60 companies, and the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy. The Talent and Compensation Committee believes Mr. Antoun’s compensation package provides an appropriate compensation opportunity given the work required to position OpenText for the future, which Mr. Antoun can realize only if OpenText performs strongly on both a relative and absolute basis over the long term. Mr. Antoun’s new-hire equity awards consisted of RSUs and stock options and were granted as an inducement in connection with his recruitment, separate from his annual LTIP awards. The stock options deliver value only through share price appreciation, and the RSUs vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date to support share ownership. Mr. Antoun’s compensation is lower than that of his predecessor across each element of pay, with target total compensation 24% lower than his predecessor’s. Mr. Antoun’s compensation package is summarized in the table below:

Mr. Antoun's base salary of CAD$1,200,000 and target annual bonus of CAD$1,620,000 (135% of base salary) have been converted to U.S. dollars using an average exchange rate of 0.72. All long-term incentive and new-hire equity award values are denominated in U.S. dollars as set forth in Mr. Antoun's employment agreement.

Section II - Our Shareholder Engagement Process and Response to Say-on-Pay Vote

Shareholder Engagement Overview and Timeline

Meaningful engagement with our shareholders is fundamental to how we approach executive compensation. The insights and perspectives gathered through direct shareholder dialogue, combined with the guidance of our independent compensation consultant, are integral to how the Talent and Compensation Committee evaluates and evolves the program to ensure it remains strategically aligned, performance-driven, and reflective of evolving market and governance best practices. Our engagement program is year-round and proactive, reflecting our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in how we govern executive compensation.

Throughout Fiscal 2026, the Company conducted extensive shareholder engagement both in advance of and following the 2025 AGM held in December 2025. Ahead of the AGM, the Company undertook targeted outreach to shareholders, with a particular focus on executive compensation matters, including CEO pay structure, incentive plan design, and long-term incentive vehicle mix. Following the appointment of Mr. Antoun as CEO, shareholder engagement resumed in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, during which invitations were extended to the top 25 largest shareholders, representing approximately 70% of outstanding shares, to discuss executive compensation and other matters. During this phase, four large institutional investors, representing approximately 12% of outstanding shares, met directly with independent members of the Board without management present. Engagement continued into the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, with independent Board members leading additional discussions with large institutional investors, some of which included members of management at the Talent and Compensation Committee’s request. These efforts culminated in meetings with shareholders representing six of our 25 largest shareholdings, or approximately 15% of outstanding shares, including participation by the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer and Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary.

Key Themes from Shareholder Engagement and Actions Taken

The strong support reflected in the 2025 Say-on-Pay vote affirms the cumulative design changes made over the past several years. Over that period, the Talent and Compensation Committee has undertaken a deliberate transformation of the executive compensation program, shaped directly by shareholder input and informed by evolving market and governance expectations, resulting in a program that is more performance-oriented and closely aligned with long-term shareholder interests. Following a comprehensive review of shareholder feedback and market practices, the Talent and Compensation Committee determined that the executive compensation program remains appropriately designed for Fiscal 2027 and therefore no further material structural changes were made. The table below summarizes the key themes raised by shareholders and the corresponding actions taken by the Talent and Compensation Committee across Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2025, and Fiscal 2026, covering CEO pay structure, short-term incentive performance rigor, long-term incentive vehicle mix, and peer group composition.

What We Heard - Key ThemesWhat We Did - Our Perspectives and Actions
Shareholders expressed concern about the level of CEO pay, the use of historical one-time off-cycle LTI awards, and the overall size of LTIP grants to the CEO.CEO LTIP Awards: Mr. Antoun’s LTIP award consists of 70% PSUs and 30% RSUs, with a higher weighting on PSUs compared to our other NEOs (55% PSUs and 45% RSUs), placing a significant portion of his equity grant at risk.No One-Time LTI Awards: We adhered to our commitment in Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025 and committed to deliver long-term incentive awards to existing executives exclusively through the regular annual LTIP program, without supplemental one-time awards. Consistent with competitive market practice, newly hired executives may receive market-aligned new hire equity grants in connection with their appointment, intended to align their interests with those of our shareholders from the outset of their tenure.Reduction in Target Compensation: Mr. Antoun’s total target compensation is 24% lower than that of his predecessor and is positioned below the 25th percentile of our peer group.
Shareholders asked for stronger performance leverage in the short-term incentive (STI) plan, including higher thresholds to earn any payout and more rigorous criteria to achieve maximum payouts.Unified STI Metrics Across All NEOs: Starting Fiscal 2026, all NEOs, including sales executives previously assessed on different metrics, are measured solely on Worldwide Revenue and AOI, simplifying the program and aligning all executives to our core strategic priorities and a focus on profitable growth. In Fiscal 2026, Mr. McGourlay participated in a commission plan for one month prior to assuming the role of Interim CEO in August 2025, after which he participated in the STI plan on the same basis as all other NEOs.Strengthened STI Performance Requirements: Starting Fiscal 2026, the STI performance requirements were tightened across the board for both Revenue and AOI metrics: (1) the minimum performance threshold was raised to 95% of target (from 90%); (2) the corresponding threshold payout was reduced to 25% (from 40%); and (3) the performance required to earn the maximum STI payout of 200% of target was raised to at least 104% for both Revenue and AOI, a stricter standard than Fiscal 2025 when only AOI required 103% for maximum payout.
Shareholders requested greater pay-for-performance alignment in the annual LTIP vehicle mix, expressing preference for performance-based awards and reduced reliance on stock options and time-vested RSUs.Raised rTSR Performance Hurdle: In Fiscal 2025, we increased the required performance requirement, at “target”, to the 55th percentile of TSR relative to the NASDAQ Composite Index companies, up from the 50th percentile. This sets a higher bar for target payouts compared to prevalent market practice.Annual LTIP Shifted to PSUs and RSUs Only: Beginning in Fiscal 2026, the annual LTIP for NEOs (excluding the CEO) consists exclusively of PSUs (55%) and RSUs (45%). Stock options were eliminated from the regular annual LTIP vehicle mix. The CEO’s LTIP consists of 70% PSUs and 30% RSUs, reflecting a greater emphasis on performance-based compensation.Absolute TSR Modifier Introduced: For Fiscal 2026, an absolute TSR modifier was added to the PSU program. If the Company’s absolute TSR is negative over the performance period, PSU payout will be capped at 100% of target, even if relative TSR performance would otherwise result in an above-target award.
Some shareholders voiced concerns that our compensation peer group included companies that were not appropriately scaled to OpenText’s sizeComprehensive Peer Group Refreshment: In Fiscal 2025, in response to ongoing feedback regarding market capitalization scaling, we conducted a thorough review and replaced eight companies with six new peers. For Fiscal 2026, no changes were made to the peer group. The peer group accurately reflects OpenText’s market capitalization, revenue profile, and operating complexity, with all new peers having market capitalizations that fall within a reasonable range relative to OpenText (.25x to 4x). Relative to the updated peer group:• OpenText revenues are at the 60th percentile;• Employee headcount is at the 70th percentile; and• Market capitalization is at the 22nd percentile. For new hires based in Canada, including our new CEO, pay levels are also reviewed relative to TSX 60 benchmarks.

Section III - Compensation Governance and Objectives

Role of the Talent and Compensation Committee

The Talent and Compensation Committee has responsibility for the oversight of executive compensation within the terms and conditions of our various compensation plans. The Talent and Compensation Committee approves the compensation of our executive officers, except for our CEO, whose compensation is approved by the Board without the CEO present. Compensation decisions for our executive officers are made after considering, among other things, performance goals, base salary, bonuses, executive benefits, short-term incentives, and long-term incentives. The Talent and Compensation Committee also reviews and recommends for approval all equity awards related to executive compensation prior to final approval by the Board and supports the Board with respect to talent and culture matters, including: succession and development of our executive officers; reviewing and discussing the progress of our workforce and global employee engagement initiatives; providing input on human capital disclosures; and reviewing our approach to retirement programs.

The Talent and Compensation Committee coordinates with the CEO and the Chief Human Resources Officer, in collaboration with management and the finance and legal groups, as appropriate, to design and develop the compensation program. Together, they support the preparation and analysis of financial data, peer group comparisons, and other materials to assist the Talent and Compensation Committee in making and implementing its decisions.

The Board, the Talent and Compensation Committee, and our management employ a set of policies and processes to evaluate the performance of each of our NEOs, which inform the determination of long-term incentive awards for each NEO. The performance of each of our NEOs, other than our CEO, is assessed by our CEO in his capacity as the direct supervisor of the other NEOs. The performance of our CEO is assessed by the Board (excluding the CEO). The Board conducts discussions and makes decisions with respect to the performance of our CEO in special sessions from which management and the CEO are absent.

The CEO, with the assistance of the Chief Human Resources Officer, also conducts an annual review of the total compensation of each executive officer, including the NEOs. The review includes an assessment of each executive officer’s experience, performance, the performance of the executive officer’s respective business or function, and market pay levels. After this review, the CEO recommends base salaries, annual target short-term incentive and long-term incentive opportunities, any payouts related to the annual short-term incentives, and annual equity grants for the executive officers to the Talent and Compensation Committee for approval.

For each element of compensation, target values are established based on competitive market practice and each NEO's ability to influence financial or operational performance. Target values are consistent with competitive market practice, set to ensure that annual total direct target compensation packages are appropriately positioned relative to our peer group. Grant amounts consider the desired pay mix, competitive positioning and internal equity across our NEOs, with a significant majority of total compensation being performance-based and "at risk," to ensure alignment with our performance over the long term.

The Talent and Compensation Committee considers previous compensation awards and internal pay equity across the senior executive team, competitive market practice, the impact of tax and accounting treatments, applicable regulatory requirements, any material acquisitions or divestitures closed during the year and the results of the most recent shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation when approving compensation programs.

The Talent and Compensation Committee met nine times during Fiscal 2026.

During Fiscal 2026, the Board did not appoint a permanent Chair of the Talent and Compensation Committee. To facilitate the Talent and Compensation Committee’s meetings, the chair position was rotated among our highly experienced Talent and Compensation Committee members, all of whom joined the Talent and Compensation Committee within the past three fiscal years. Following each meeting, the Talent and Compensation Committee reported items that it, in its determination, considered noteworthy to the Board.

Compensation Consultant

The Talent and Compensation Committee seeks the advice of an outside compensation consultant to provide assistance and guidance on compensation issues. The compensation consultant may provide the Talent and Compensation Committee with relevant information pertaining to market compensation levels, alternative compensation plan designs, market trends and best practices and may assist the Talent and Compensation Committee with respect to determining the appropriate benchmarks for each NEO’s compensation. The Talent and Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate outside consultants.

In Fiscal 2026, the Talent and Compensation Committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners (Meridian) as its compensation consultant. The decision was made to reinforce the Talent and Compensation Committee’s commitment to aligning executive compensation practices with leading governance standards and shareholder expectations. Meridian was retained to provide independent advisory services and support for our executive compensation program. As part of their engagement, Meridian reviewed all benchmarking and recommendations with respect to our compensation framework, evaluating it against our compensation philosophy, strategic objectives, and market practice. Meridian also provided independent compensation analysis and recommendations in connection with the compensation arrangement for our incoming CEO, Mr. Antoun. Throughout Fiscal 2026, the members of the Talent and Compensation Committee met periodically with Meridian representatives to discuss market practices, evolving governance trends, and potential implications for the Company’s financial performance. Meridian also provided benchmarking data and guidance on CEO and executive officer compensation. For these services, Meridian received $164,598 in fees during Fiscal 2026.

Talent and Compensation Committee Approach and Objectives

We believe that compensation plays an important role in achieving short and long-term business objectives that ultimately drive business success and long-term shareholder value creation. The Talent and Compensation Committee ensures compensation decisions are in line with our compensation philosophy to be talent competitive. Our compensation program objectives include:

Attracting, motivating and retaining highly qualified executive officers who have a history of proven success through compensation programs that reflect the market. Our compensation program primarily reflects practices in the information technology sector, in terms of executive pay levels and program design. We use market data from similarly sized software and technology companies with a global presence for a variety of reasons, including that greater than 95% of our revenues are generated outside of Canada.

Aligning the interests of executive officers with our shareholders’ interests and with the execution of our business strategy, with the majority of the total compensation package tied to performance-based variable rewards. Evaluation of executive performance is based on achievement of key financial metrics that we believe closely correlate to long-term shareholder value. Our short and long-term goals are reflected in our overall compensation program with evaluations based on achieving and overachieving predetermined objectives. The target pay mix for our CEO and other Current NEOs, illustrating the significant proportion of total target compensation that is performance-based and at risk, is set out under Section V - “Elements of Our Compensation Program” below.

Our approach to executive pay is guided by the following best practices:

What We Do
PBalance short- and long-term incentives, cash and equity, and fixed and variable pay.
PLink a significant amount of target NEO pay to Company performance (at least 80%).
PCap short-term incentive plans at 200% of target.
PUse multiple types of equity awards to balance risk and reward.
PUse distinct performance metrics in our short- and long-term incentives.
PCompare executive compensation and Company performance to relevant peer group companies, which are re-evaluated annually, and consider our industry scope, market for executive talent and geographic footprint.
PRequire significant executive stock ownership.
PAllow unearned incentive pay to be recaptured under our Clawback Policy (defined below).
PProvide only limited perquisites and no supplemental executive retirement plans.
PRetain an independent compensation consultant.
PConduct an annual shareholder say-on-pay advisory vote.
PConduct regular and extensive engagement with our shareholders, including an initiative focused specifically on compensation.
PAvoid guaranteed base salary increases or a minimum level of vesting for long-term incentives.
PRefrain from paying discretionary bonuses.
PProvide double-trigger change in control benefits to our NEOs.

Section IV – Compensation Peer Group

Aggregate compensation for each NEO is designed to be market competitive. The Talent and Compensation Committee refers to the compensation practices of similarly situated companies in determining our compensation policy. Although the Talent and Compensation Committee reviews each element of compensation for market competitiveness and may weigh a particular element more heavily than another based on a NEO’s role within the Company, the primary focus remains on being competitive in the market with respect to total compensation.

To identify comparable companies, we apply an industry framework that aligns with the methodology used by proxy advisors, selecting companies that are similar in size and have comparable business strategies and financial models. We recognize that there are few, if any, direct peers that are based in Canada with a significant U.S. presence. Given that our market for executive talent is global in nature, we apply the following screening process:

Quantitative Screen

We initially screen for companies within our Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) industry group, including those specifically classified under the Application Software sub-industry. From there, we identify companies that are reasonably similar to OpenText, filtering based on revenue and market capitalization (each within a range of 0.25 to 4 times our own). Following this initial quantitative screen, we review additional factors such as total assets, net income, and number of employees to supplement our overall quantitative selection process.

Qualitative Screen

A qualitative screen is then conducted to ensure the selected companies are truly comparable. As part of this process, we focus on global companies operating in the technology industry, ensuring that in aggregate, we consider the appropriate mix of Canadian and U.S.-listed companies. We also consider companies that have been identified as a peer of one of our previous year’s peers, companies that use OpenText as a peer in their own disclosure, and peer groups published by proxy advisory firms, before finalizing the composition of our peer group.

The Talent and Compensation Committee generally benchmarks against software and technology companies with a global presence, rather than solely Canadian companies, recognizing that qualified candidates for executive positions compete in a global market for talent regardless of where they reside. Attracting and retaining talent with the highest level of industry expertise is central to the Company’s business and strategy, and our compensation practices must align with market expectations. Benchmarking against a broad, globally representative peer group ensures that our compensation program remains competitive and enables us to attract, retain, and motivate the caliber of executive leadership required to drive the Company’s long-term performance and growth.

Fiscal 2026 Compensation Peer Group

For Fiscal 2026, we conducted a thorough review of our compensation peer group in collaboration with the Board and management’s compensation consultants. Following this review, we determined that the existing peer group remained appropriate and required no changes, consistent with feedback received through direct shareholder outreach.

The peer group used for benchmarking executive compensation was selected through a rigorous process that incorporated multiple inputs. This included alignment with proxy advisor frameworks, an independent review conducted by our external compensation consultant, Meridian, and thorough evaluation, review, and approval by the Talent and Compensation Committee. This approach ensures the peer group reflects relevant industry standards and supports informed compensation decisions. In addition to this peer group, for certain executive roles including the CEO and CFO, the Talent and Compensation Committee also references compensation market data from TSX 60 companies, given that OpenText is itself a TSX 60 constituent, to ensure pay practices remain competitive within the Canadian market for senior executive talent.

As a result, for Fiscal 2026, all peer companies fall within the targeted range of 0.25x to 4x OpenText’s revenue and market capitalization. By way of comparison among the peer group:

OpenText’s trailing 12-month revenue ranks at the 60 thpercentile relative to the peer group.

OpenText’s six-month average market capitalization ranks at the 22 nd percentile.

Our peer group for Fiscal 2026 consists of the following companies:

Akamai TechnologiesDropboxNCR Voyix
AmdocsDXC Technology CompanyNetApp
Broadridge Financial SolutionsEuronet WorldwideNutanix
CelesticaGartnerPTC
CGIGen DigitalRingCentral
DocuSignGoDaddySS&C Technologies

OpenText’s profile relative to last year is summarized as follows. Based on both revenue and headcount, OpenText is a larger organization relative to the Fiscal 2026 peer group median.

Section V - Elements of Our Compensation Program

We use a combination of fixed and variable compensation to motivate our executive officers to achieve our corporate goals. The basic components of our executive officer compensation program are:

Base salary (fixed);

Short-term cash incentives (variable); and

Long-term equity incentives (variable).

To ensure alignment of the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders, a significant proportion of each executive officer’s compensation is variable or “at risk.” Also, our short-term and long-term incentive compensation is subject to our Clawback Policy (see “Other Information with Respect to Our Compensation Program - Clawback Policy” below).

The Talent and Compensation Committee believes Fiscal 2026 compensation outcomes are aligned with Company performance and shareholder experience. Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, realized and realizable CEO and NEO pay outcomes track total shareholder return (TSR) over both annual and long-term periods. For Fiscal 2026, CEO compensation outcomes declined alongside TSR underperformance: PSUs granted in Fiscal 2023 vested at 74% of target based on rTSR at the 37th percentile and the Fiscal 2026 STI paid out at 91% of target.

The Talent and Compensation Committee annually considers the percentage of each NEO’s total target compensation that is “at risk” depending on the NEO’s responsibilities and objectives.

The following pay mix graphics reflect the annualized target compensation of our current CEO and CFO, as well as our three most highly compensated executive officers, other than the current CEO and CFO, who were serving as an executive officer at the end of Fiscal 2026 (collectively, the “Current NEOs”). The graphics below, as well as other graphics depicting our Current NEOs in this CD&A, are intended to reflect the design of our go-forward executive compensation program. As a result, Mr. McGourlay, Mr. Balota, Mr. Barrenechea, Mr. Westlake, Mr. Berry, and Ms. Ono have been excluded from the determination of our Current NEOs to provide appropriate comparability for our program design as compared to our peers.

The pay mix graphics below reflect our CEO’s and Current NEOs (excluding the CEO) pay mix for their annualized target compensation for Fiscal 2026, illustrating the significant proportion of total target compensation that is performance-based and at risk.

(1)Mr. Antoun’s and Mr. Rai’s pay mix percentages are based on their respective annualized target compensation, as each joined the Company during Fiscal 2026 and did not serve as an executive officer for the full fiscal year.

Base Salary

The base salary review for each NEO considers factors such as current competitive market conditions and the individual’s particular skills (such as leadership ability and management effectiveness, experience, responsibility and proven or expected performance). For the actual base salary paid to each NEO during Fiscal 2026, see the Summary Compensation Table below.

Short-Term Incentives

In Fiscal 2026, NEOs participated in our STI plan, which is designed to motivate the achievement of corporate goals approved by the Board at the start of the fiscal year. Awards under the STI plan are paid in cash.

The target annual STI levels for each of our NEOs for Fiscal 2026 are shown in the table below, other than Mr. Barrenechea, Mr. Westlake, Mr. Berry and Ms. Ono who did not participate on the same basis as the other NEOs; their respective STI treatment is described separately below.

Named Executive OfficerFiscal 2026 Target Bonus

(1)Mr. Antoun joined the Company in April 2026. As a result, Mr. Antoun’s “at target” payout in Fiscal 2026 was prorated to $231,312, based on his annual STI target of $1,172,623.

(2)Mr. Rai joined the Company in October 2025. As a result, Mr. Rai’s “at target” payout in Fiscal 2026 was prorated to $385,322, based on his annual STI target of $524,785.

(3)From August 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, Mr. McGourlay’s STI plan performance metrics were Worldwide Revenues and Worldwide AOI. His annual STI target for the period was prorated for the 11-month period during which he participated in the plan. Mr. McGourlay participated in a commission plan from July 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025, while in his role as EVP, International Sales (prior to being appointed as Interim CEO). His commission earnings for the one-month period were $12,746.

The Fiscal 2026 STI plan was based on two equally weighted performance measures, Worldwide Revenues and Adjusted Operating Income (AOI), each representing 50% of the total target award. Starting Fiscal 2026, all NEOs, including sales executives previously assessed on differentiated metrics, are measured solely on Worldwide Revenues and AOI, simplifying the program and aligning all executives to the Company’s core strategic priorities and a focus on profitable growth. The Talent and Compensation Committee approves the target award eligible to be earned by each NEO and sets the minimum performance threshold, target performance level and maximum performance level for each performance measure.

In Fiscal 2026, in response to shareholder feedback, the performance threshold required to earn the maximum STI payout of 200% of target was raised to at least 104% for both Worldwide Revenues and AOI, stricter than Fiscal 2025 when only AOI required 103% for maximum payout. The payout curves were also restructured to deliver lower payouts for below-target performance, strengthening the link between pay and revenue and AOI growth.

Worldwide Revenues (2)50%$4,934$5,194$5,402$5,08970%91%

(1)During Fiscal 2026, the Company completed two divestitures: the sale of eDOCS on January 12, 2026 for $163 million in cash, and the sale of Vertica on May 11, 2026 for $150 million in cash, in each case before taxes, fees and other adjustments. The Fiscal 2026 target, which reflects only our ongoing product portfolio, represents approximately 1% growth in Worldwide Revenues compared to Fiscal 2025 results after excluding eDOCS and Vertica from the results. The targets also reflect a greater increase in the AOI target, consistent with the Company’s continued focus on revenue growth and cost reduction initiatives. Accordingly, the Fiscal 2026 targets for each metric were established at levels above their respective Fiscal 2025 achievements on an ongoing product portfolio basis.

(2)Worldwide Revenues are derived from the “Total Revenues” line of our audited income statement and are an important metric for measuring our growth and the scope of the business enterprise.

(3)AOI is a non-GAAP measure intended to reflect the operational effectiveness of our leadership by showing our ability to generate profits from our operational activities and to manage the costs associated with our worldwide revenues. AOI is calculated as total revenues less the total cost of revenues and operating expenses excluding amortization of intangible assets, special charges (recoveries) and stock-based compensation expense, and is further adjusted to remove the impact of foreign exchange.

The actual STI award earned by each NEO for Fiscal 2026 was determined in accordance with the formulas described above, without any discretionary adjustment.

Mark J. Barrenechea

Mr. Barrenechea ceased to be our Chief Executive Officer in August 2025. Pursuant to his employment agreement, he received an “at target” STI payment prorated for the period he was employed during Fiscal 2026. Mr. Barrenechea’s “at target” payout in Fiscal 2026 was $164,423, based on his annual STI target of $1,425,000.

Chadwick Westlake

Mr. Westlake ceased to be our Chief Financial Officer in August 2025. He received no STI payment as he voluntarily departed from the Company.

Savinay Berry

Mr. Berry ceased to be our Chief Product Officer in January 2026. Pursuant to his employment agreement, he received an “at target” STI payment prorated for the period he was employed during Fiscal 2026. Mr. Berry’s “at target” payout in Fiscal 2026 was $360,577, based on his annual STI target of $625,000.

Sandy Ono

Ms. Ono ceased to be our Chief Marketing Officer in December 2025. Pursuant to her employment agreement, she received an “at target” STI payment prorated for the period she was employed during Fiscal 2026. Ms. Ono’s “at target” payout in Fiscal 2026 was $272,356, based on her annual STI target of $643,750.

Long-Term Incentives

We incentivize our executive officers, including our NEOs, in part, through long-term compensation granted pursuant to our LTIP. Our LTIP grants represent a significant proportion of our NEOs’ total compensation and serve a twofold purpose: (i) to provide a competitive compensation package; and (ii) to align the interests of our NEOs with those of our shareholders.

Our CEO’s annual LTIP target grant value is $7.0 million, representing a reduction of $2.5 million from the prior CEO's Fiscal 2026 LTIP target of $9.5 million. His LTIP award consists of 70% PSUs and 30% RSUs, reflecting a greater emphasis on performance-based compensation than the 55% PSU weighting applicable to other NEOs. In determining the LTI vehicle mix for our CEO, the Talent and Compensation Committee weighed the performance orientation of an all-PSU design against the importance of accelerating share ownership for an externally recruited CEO, and approved a 70% PSU / 30% RSU mix in connection with the negotiation of his employment agreement. The RSU component supports the build-up of Mr. Antoun's share ownership toward compliance with the Company's stock ownership guidelines, strengthening his direct alignment with shareholders, and remains fully at risk to share price performance over its three-year vesting period. Our CEO joined the Company after the August 2025 annual LTIP grant cycle and did not receive a Fiscal 2026 annual LTIP award. Our CEO’s first annual LTIP award is expected to be granted in August 2026. Upon joining the Company, Mr. Antoun received sign-on equity awards consisting of stock options and RSUs, as described below. In establishing Mr. Antoun's compensation package, the Talent and Compensation Committee also considered internal pay equity. The ratio of CEO target total compensation to that of the next-highest-paid NEO decreased from 2.3x to 1.7x, reflecting greater pay equity among the executive team.

For Fiscal 2026, we increased the annual LTIP target grant values for certain NEOs to ensure alignment with our compensation philosophy. Despite the increase, the overall LTIP values for certain NEOs remain positioned below the 25th percentile of our peer group.

The performance goals and their weightings under the LTIP are first recommended by the Talent and Compensation Committee and then approved by the Board. Grants are generally made on an annual basis. For grants made in August 2025 (for Fiscal 2026), the LTIP consisted of the components outlined in the table below.

VehicleVesting
Performance Share Units (PSUs)Cliff vesting after three years following the determination by the Board that the performance criteria have been met for the rTSR metric.(1)
Restricted Share Units (RSUs)Vesting occurs annually in equal amounts on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

(1)The number of PSUs to vest is based on the Company’s rTSR at the end of a three-year period relative to the TSR of the constituents of the NASDAQ Composite Index.

Once vested, PSUs and RSUs are settled in either Common Shares or cash, at the discretion of the Board.

Payouts under LTIP grants:

May be subject to certain limitations in the event of early termination of employment or change in control of the Company; and

When the Company pays cash dividends on outstanding Common Shares, the Company credits dividend equivalent PSUs and RSUs to the participant’s account. Dividend equivalent PSUs and RSUs are subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying PSUs or RSUs, as applicable, and vest and are settled at the same time and in the same form as the corresponding PSUs or RSUs. Dividend equivalents related to PSUs are credited only for shares that are ultimately earned under the PSU program.

LTIP - PSU Grants in Fiscal 2026

In Fiscal 2026, we maintained our practice of granting PSUs to all NEOs, with vesting tied to rTSR. Since the Fiscal 2024 grant cycle, PSU performance has been benchmarked against the three-year TSR of companies included in the NASDAQ Composite Index, reflecting the Company's increased scale and broader market position following the Micro Focus Acquisition and providing a more representative benchmark for evaluating long-term performance. This index is heavily weighted towards the information technology sector, aligning with alternative investment opportunities available to our shareholders.

To further strengthen the performance orientation of our PSU program, we raised the rTSR threshold required to achieve a target payout for Fiscal 2026 grants. Under the revised design, PSUs are earned at the target level only if our rTSR ranks at or above the 55th percentile of the NASDAQ Composite Index constituents, reinforcing our commitment to delivering strong, market-leading performance.

In Fiscal 2026, an absolute TSR modifier was introduced to the PSU program. If the Company's absolute TSR is negative over the three-year performance period, PSU payouts will be capped at 100% of target, even if relative TSR performance would otherwise result in an above-target award. This modifier directly links pay outcomes to the shareholder experience.

For details of our previous LTIPs, see Item 11 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the relevant fiscal year.

Sign-on Equity Grant for Mr. Antoun

As part of Mr. Antoun’s employment agreement, he received sign-on equity awards upon joining the Company in April 2026, consisting of stock options and RSUs, each with a target value of $2.0 million. The sign-on equity awards are consistent with competitive market practices, align Mr. Antoun’s interests with those of the Company’s shareholders and reinforce a commitment to long-term executive ownership.

Stock options: Mr. Antoun was granted 378,072 stock options, with a target value of $2.0 million, as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology. The options vest ratably over four years, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the grant date.

RSUs: Mr. Antoun was granted 84,696 RSUs, with a target value of $2.0 million, which cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.

The RSU sign-on grant is subject to the same terms and conditions as our LTIP RSU grants.

Sign-on Equity Grant for Mr. Rai

As part of Mr. Rai’s employment agreement, he received sign-on equity awards upon joining the Company in October 2025, consisting of stock options and prorated participation in prior-year LTIP cycles. The sign-on equity awards are consistent with competitive market practices, align Mr. Rai’s interests with those of the Company’s shareholders and reinforce a commitment to long-term executive ownership.

Stock options: Mr. Rai was granted 120,000 stock options, with a target value of $1.0 million, as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology. The options vest ratably over four years, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the grant date.

Pro-rated LTIP Vesting in Fiscal 2027: Mr. Rai was granted a pro-rated LTIP award which will vest in Fiscal 2027, with a target value of $1.0 million based on his annual target of $1.7 million. The award consists of 50% PSUs, 25% RSUs, and 25% stock options. The award follows the same vesting schedule and terms and conditions as the original LTIP grant made in Fiscal 2025.

Pro-rated LTIP Vesting in Fiscal 2028: Mr. Rai was granted a pro-rated LTIP award which will vest in Fiscal 2028, with the target value of $1.6 million based on his annual target of $1.7 million. The award consists of 55% PSUs, and 45% RSUs. The award follows the same vesting schedule and terms and conditions as the original LTIP grant made in Fiscal 2026.

LTIP - PSU Vesting in Fiscal 2026

PSUs granted in Fiscal 2023 were eligible to vest during Fiscal 2026, based on rTSR performance compared to the designated index over a three-year performance period. Over this period, the Company achieved rTSR at the 37 th percentile relative to the S&P Midcap 400 Software & Services Peer Group used for the Fiscal 2023 PSU awards. This level of performance resulted in a formulaic payout of 74% of the original PSU grant.

LTIP - RSUs

RSUs are not subject to specific performance-based vesting conditions. Instead, RSUs are intended to promote employment retention over the applicable three-year vesting period and to align NEO interests with share price performance over time.

LTIP - Stock Options

For Fiscal 2026, the LTIP equity vehicle mix was revised to eliminate stock options from the annual grant program, with annual LTIP awards now delivered through a combination of PSUs and RSUs.

Stock options that were previously granted under earlier annual LTIP awards will continue to vest over a four-year period and will only have value if our stock price increases during their seven-year term. For a discussion of the assumptions used in the valuation of stock options, see Note 13 “Equity and Share-based Compensation to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. All stock option grants, whether part of the annual LTIP prior to Fiscal 2026 or granted separately for new hires, promotions, retention or other reasons, are governed by our stock option plan. The price at which stock options are granted is not less than the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on the trading day for the NASDAQ immediately preceding the applicable grant date. In addition, grants and exercises of stock options are subject to our Insider Trading Policy. For details of our Insider Trading Policy, see “Other Information with Respect to Our Compensation Program - Insider Trading Policy” below.

Details of LTIP awards made to each NEO, including individual grant values, are set forth in the compensation tables below.

Section VI - Other Elements of Our Compensation Program

Executive Change in Control and Severance Benefits

Our severance benefit agreements are designed to provide reasonable compensation to departing senior executive officers under certain circumstances. Competitive severance benefits are standard market practice and an important factor in attracting and retaining the caliber of executive talent required to lead our organization. We believe that the absence of such benefits would put us at a meaningful competitive disadvantage in the market for senior executive talent. Furthermore, we believe that it is important to set forth the benefits payable in triggering circumstances in advance to avoid future disputes or litigation.

The severance benefits we offer to our senior executive officers are competitive with those offered to similarly situated executive officers at comparable companies. We have structured our senior executive officers’ change in control benefits as “double trigger” benefits, meaning that the benefits are paid only in the event of, first, a change in control transaction, and second, a change in relationship between the Company and the senior executive officer within twelve months after the transaction. These benefits are intended to incentivize our senior executive officers to remain employed with the Company in such a transaction.

Perquisites

Our NEOs receive a minimal amount of non-cash compensation in the form of executive perquisites that are not otherwise available to all our employees, including:

An annual executive medical physical examination; and

An annual allowance to reimburse expenses to a pre-defined maximum for financial, tax and estate planning and additional life insurance.

Certain NEOs may also receive other perquisites from time to time. Perquisites that meet the applicable disclosure threshold are disclosed in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table below.

Other Benefits

We provide various employee benefit programs on the same terms to all employees in the same country, including our NEOs, such as, but not limited to:

Medical health insurance;

Dental insurance;

Life insurance; and

Tax-based retirement savings plans matching contributions.

NEOs residing in the U.S. may be eligible to continue participation in US Open Text health care plans upon retirement on the condition that the costs of the benefit are fully borne by the retiree.

Pension Plans

We do not provide pension benefits or any non-qualified deferred compensation to any of our NEOs.

(1)Base salary amounts reflect actual salary paid during Fiscal 2026 and may differ from annualized base salary due to mid‑year appointments, interim roles, or salary adjustments. The annualized base salaries for Messrs. Antoun, Rai, Barrenechea, Westlake, and Berry, and Ms. Ono for Fiscal 2026 were $868,610, $524,785, $950,000, $579,073, $625,000, and $643,750, respectively.

(2)The amount reported in the column for Mr. McGourlay represents sales commissions earned under his commission-based plan. The amount reported for Mr. Cione represents an “at target” STI payment prorated for the period of time Mr. Cione was employed by the Company during Fiscal 2024, based on his annual STI target of $675,000, pursuant to his sign-on compensation arrangement. The amount reported for Mr. Westlake represents an “at target” STI payment prorated for the period of time Mr. Westlake was employed by the Company during Fiscal 2025, based on his annual STI target of $585,210, pursuant to his sign-on compensation arrangement. The amount reported in the column for Mr. Balota includes a bonus upon successful completion of additional responsibilities assumed in his role as Interim CFO.

(3)Amounts reported in this column represent the aggregate grant-date fair value of the awards at target performance, as computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (Topic 718). These values reflect the probable outcome at the grant date and may vary from the target values indicated in the table set forth above in the section “LTIP” and the amounts ultimately realized by the NEOs. For a discussion of the assumptions used in these valuations, see Note 13 “Equity and Share-based Compensation” to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Assuming achievement of the highest level of performance, the maximum grant-date fair value of the PSU awards received by Messrs. Antoun, Rai, Cione, Duggan, Majzoub, McGourlay, Balota, Barrenechea, Westlake and Berry, and Ms. Ono in Fiscal 2026 would be $—, $4.6 million, $7.5 million, $6.2 million, $3.8 million, $3.3 million, $0.6 million, $4.7 million, and $3.2 million, respectively. Mr. McGourlay's stock awards include a supplemental LTIP grant approved by the Board in connection with his appointment as Interim CEO, with a target value of $281,250, in addition to his annual LTIP award of $1.5 million. The amounts reported for Mr. Berry and Ms. Ono reflect the grant-date fair value of PSU and RSU awards granted in Fiscal 2026, as required by Topic 718. Mr. Berry and Ms. Ono subsequently forfeited all such PSUs and RSUs upon their respective departures from the Company in January 2026 and December 2025, respectively. For further detail see "Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2026" below. RSUs and PSUs are entitled to receive dividend equivalents, which are credited in the form of additional units and are subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying award; dividend equivalents in respect of PSUs are credited only on units that are ultimately earned. Such dividend equivalents do not result in additional compensation for purposes of the table.

(4)Amounts reported in this column represent the amount recognized as the aggregate grant-date fair value of stock option awards, as calculated in accordance with Topic 718 for the fiscal year in which the awards were granted. In all cases, these amounts do not reflect whether the recipient has actually realized a financial benefit from the exercise of the awards. For a discussion of the assumptions used in this valuation, see Note 13 “Equity and Share-based Compensation” to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of the Annual Report. Mr. Antoun and Mr. Rai’s option awards reflect grants of stock options approved by the Board in connection with their respective sign-on compensation arrangements. Mr. Balota's option awards reflect a grant of stock options approved by the Board in connection with his appointment as Interim CFO. For further detail see "Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2026" below.

(5)Amounts reported in this column for Fiscal 2026 represent payments under the short-term incentive plan based on actual performance achieved. The payments made to Mr. Barrenechea, Mr. Berry, and Ms. Ono represent their “at target” STI payment prorated for the duration they were employed during Fiscal 2026.

(6)Except as otherwise indicated the amounts in “All Other Compensation” primarily include (i) medical examinations, (ii) tax preparation and financial advisory fees paid, (iii) employer matching contributions under benefit plans, and (iv) authorized spousal travel expenses related to certain Company events. “All Other Compensation” does not include benefits received by the NEOs which are generally available to all of our salaried employees.

(7)The total value of all perquisites and personal benefits for this NEO was less than $10,000, and, therefore, excluded from calculating “All Other Compensation”.

(8)Mr. Antoun joined the Company in April 2026, Mr. Rai joined the company in October 2025, Mr. Westlake joined the Company in March 2025, and Mr. Berry joined the company in January 2025.

(11)For details of the amounts of fees or expenses we paid or reimbursed please refer to Summary Compensation Table in Item 11 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the corresponding fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

(12)The executive officer was not a NEO during the fiscal year, and therefore compensation details have been excluded.

These severance amounts are consistent with the prior disclosure contained in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Our Compensation Program — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025.

(14)Mr. Westlake ceased to be our Chief Financial Officer in August 2025 and received no severance as he voluntarily departed the Company. The amount represents a cash payout of earned obligations upon separation.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

We have entered into employment contracts with each of our NEOs. These contracts may require us to make certain types of payments and provide certain types of benefits to the NEOs upon the occurrence of any of these events:

If the NEO is terminated without cause; or

If there is a change in control in the ownership of the Company and subsequent to the change in control, there is a change in the employment relationship between the Company and the NEO.

The amounts payable upon termination or change in control, and their form, are determined pursuant to each NEO's employment agreement or other applicable employment terms, which reflect: 1) market data for severance protections; 2) the Company's compensation philosophy and, 3) where applicable, terms individually negotiated in connection with each executive's appointment.

Our employment agreements with our NEOs are similar in structure, terms and conditions, with individual terms varying to reflect the specific circumstances and negotiated terms of each executive's arrangement. Key differences in the terms applicable to our CEO are noted in the relevant sections below. Details are set out below of each NEO’s potential payments upon a termination by the Company without cause, or upon a change in control event followed by a change in the employment relationship between the Company and the NEO, except Mr. Balota, whose employment terms do not contain contractual severance or change in control provisions. Upon a termination of employment without cause, Mr. Balota’s severance and other termination entitlements would be determined in accordance with applicable law.

Termination Without Cause

If the NEO is terminated without cause, we may be obligated to make payments or provide benefits to the NEO. A termination without cause means a termination of an NEO for any reason other than the following, each of which provides “cause” for termination:

The failure by the NEO to attempt in good faith to perform their duties, other than as a result of a physical or mental illness or injury;

The NEO’s willful misconduct or gross negligence of a material nature in connection with the performance of their duties which is or could reasonably be expected to be injurious to the Company;

The breach by the NEO of their fiduciary duty or duty of loyalty to the Company;

The NEO’s intentional and unauthorized removal, use or disclosure of information relating to the Company, including client information, which is injurious to the Company or its clients;

The willful performance by the NEO of any act of dishonesty or willful misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or its affiliates;

The indictment of the NEO or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or other serious crime involving moral turpitude;

The material breach by the NEO of any obligation material to their employment relationship with the Company; or

The material breach by the NEO of the Company’s policies and procedures which breach causes or could reasonably be expected to cause harm to the Company;

provided that in certain of the circumstances listed above, the Company has given the NEO reasonable notice of the reason for termination as well as a reasonable opportunity to correct the circumstances giving rise to the termination.

Change in Control

If there is a change in control of the Company and within twelve months of such change in control event, there is a change in the employment relationship between the Company and the NEO without the NEO’s written consent, we may be obligated to provide payments or benefits to the NEO, unless such a change is in connection with the termination of the NEO either for cause or due to the death or disability of the NEO.

A change in control includes the following events:

The sale, lease, exchange or other transfer, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

The approval by the holders of Common Shares of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

Any transaction in which any person or group acquires ownership of more than 50% of outstanding Common Shares;

Any transaction in which a majority of the Board is replaced over a twelve-month period and such replacement of the Board was not approved by a majority of the Board still in office at the beginning of such period; or

The consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, unless following such transaction the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own at least 50% of the then-outstanding equity securities and combined voting power of the resulting entity.

Examples of a change in the employment relationship between the NEO and the Company where payments or benefits may be triggered following a change in control event include:

A material diminution in the duties and responsibilities of the NEO, other than (a) a change arising solely out of the Company becoming part of a larger organization following the change in control event or any related change in the reporting hierarchy or (b) a reorganization of the Company resulting in similar changes to the duties and responsibilities of similarly situated executive officers;

A material reduction to the NEO’s compensation, other than a similar reduction to the compensation of similarly situated executive officers;

A relocation of the NEO’s primary work location by more than fifty miles;

A reduction in the title or position of the NEO, other than (a) a change arising solely out of the Company becoming part of a larger organization following the change in control event or any related change in the reporting hierarchy or (b) a reorganization of the Company resulting in similar changes to the titles or positions of similarly situated executive officers; or

In the case of our CEO, any other change or circumstance that amounts to a constructive dismissal.

None of our NEOs, other than Mr. Balota, are entitled to the payments or benefits described below, or any other payments or benefits, solely upon a change in control where there is no change to the NEO’s employment relationship with the Company.

Amounts Payable Upon Termination or Change in Control

Pursuant to our employment agreements with our NEOs and the terms of our LTIP, the entitlements of each NEO upon termination of employment without cause or following a change in the NEO's relationship with the Company, both (i) absent a change in control and (ii) within twelve months following a change in control, are set forth below.

Absent a change in control, for all NEOs other than the CEO, LTIP amounts are prorated for the number of months of participation in the applicable performance period in accordance with the terms of the applicable LTIP. For the CEO, upon a termination without cause absent a change in control, all outstanding LTIP awards vest immediately at 100% of target, in accordance with the terms of the CEO's employment agreement.

Within 12 months of a change in control, for all NEOs other than the CEO, PSU vesting acceleration provisions are aligned with peer group practices to provide for the number of PSUs earned to be based on actual rTSR performance through the change in control date. For the CEO, upon a qualifying termination within twelve months following a change in control, all outstanding LTIP awards vest immediately at 100% of target, in accordance with the terms of the CEO's employment agreement.

Mr. Westlake voluntarily departed the Company during Fiscal 2026; therefore, he is not included in the tables below.

(1)Assuming 100% achievement of the expected targets for the fiscal year in which the triggering event occurred.

(2)LTIP amounts are prorated for the number of months of participation at termination date in the applicable 38-month performance period. If the termination date is before the commencement of the 19th month of the performance period, a prorated LTIP will not be paid.

(3)Only stock options that have vested as of termination date are exercisable, with no acceleration of unvested stock options. For a period of 90 days following the termination date, the NEO has the right to exercise all stock options which have vested as of the date of termination.

(4)Employee and medical benefits at the level provided to each NEO immediately prior to the occurrence of the triggering event for the specified period.

(5)Pursuant to the CEO’s employment agreement, upon a termination without cause absent a change in control, all outstanding LTIP awards granted to the CEO vest immediately, with PSUs vesting at 100% of target, and all outstanding stock options vest immediately.

(6)Mr. Balota’s employment terms do not provide for contractual severance payments or benefits. Upon a termination without cause, he would be entitled to such severance as may be provided under applicable law, and such amounts are not included in the table above because they are not contractually determinable. Under the terms of his grant agreements, his unvested RSUs and PSUs vest upon a change in control based on the time elapsed since grant: 0% within the first six months, 50% after six months and before eighteen months, and 100% after eighteen months. PSU vesting remains subject to rTSR performance measured through the change in control date.

(7)In accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, as amended, Mr. Barrenechea is entitled to participate until the age of 70 in healthcare benefits substantially similar to what he received as Vice Chair, CEO and CTO of the Company. These benefits will be provided at the cost of the Company, provided that Mr. Barrenechea continues to be responsible for the applicable employee contribution and this benefit will terminate if he becomes employed elsewhere. In the event that the employee or company contribution funding increases, Mr. Barrenechea would be responsible for that increase.

(1)Assuming 100% achievement of the expected targets for the fiscal year in which the triggering event occurred.

(2)For the CEO, upon a qualifying termination within twelve months following a change in control, all outstanding PSUs vest in full at 100% of target and all outstanding RSUs vest in full, in accordance with the terms of the CEO’s employment agreement. For all other NEOs, the number of PSUs earned is based on actual rTSR performance through the change in control date on a pro-rata basis, and outstanding awards otherwise remain subject to the terms of the applicable plan and award agreements. "100% Vested" reflects acceleration of vesting; for NEOs other than the CEO, this does not guarantee 100% of the target PSU award as the number of PSUs earned is determined by actual rTSR performance.

(3)For a period of 90 days following the termination date, the NEO has the right to exercise all stock options which are deemed to have vested as of the date of termination.

(4)Employee and medical benefits provided to each NEO immediately prior to the occurrence of the triggering event, continued for the period specified in the table above.

(5)Mr. Balota’s employment terms do not contain change in control provisions. Under the terms of his grant agreements, his RSUs and PSUs vest upon a change in control alone based on time elapsed since grant. See footnote (6) to the “No Change in Control” table above for more information.

In addition to the information identified above, each NEO is entitled to all accrued payments up to the date of termination, including all earned but unpaid short-term incentive amounts and earned but unsettled LTIP. Except as otherwise required by law, we are required to make all these payments and provide these benefits over a period of 12 months or 24 months, depending on the NEO’s entitlement and the circumstances which triggered our obligation to make such payments and provide such benefits, from the date of the event which triggered our obligation.

In return for receiving the payments and the benefits described above, each NEO must comply with certain obligations in favour of the Company, including a non-disparagement obligation. Also, each NEO is bound by a confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement where the non-solicitation obligation lasts eighteen months from the date of termination of their employment in the case of the CEO, and six months from the date of termination of their employment for all other NEOs.

Any breach by an NEO of any provision of his/her contractual agreements may only be waived by the Company upon the review and approval of the Board.

Quantitative Estimates of Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Further information regarding payments to our NEOs in the event of a termination or a change in control may be found in the table below. This table sets forth the estimated amount of payments and other benefits each NEO would be entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the indicated event, assuming that the event occurred on June 30, 2026. Amounts (i) potentially payable under plans which are generally available to all of our salaried employees, such as life and disability insurance, and (ii) earned but unpaid, in both cases, are excluded from the table. The values related to vesting of stock options and awards are based upon the fair market value of our Common Shares of $22.15 per share as reported on the NASDAQ on June 30, 2026, the last trading day of our fiscal year. The other material assumptions made with respect to the numbers reported in the table below are:

The salary and incentive payments are calculated based on the amounts of salary, incentive and benefit payments which were payable to each NEO as of June 30, 2026; and

Payments under the LTIPs are calculated in accordance with the methodology described under "Amounts Payable Upon Termination or Change in Control" above, which distinguishes between no change in control and change in control scenarios and between the CEO and other NEOs.

Actual payments made at any future date may vary, including the amount the NEO would have accrued under the applicable benefit or compensation plan as well as the price of our Common Shares.

Insider Trading Policy

All our employees, officers and directors, including our NEOs, are required to comply with our Insider Trading Policy. Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits the purchase, sale or trade of our securities with the knowledge of material inside information. In addition, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our employees, officers and directors, including our NEOs, from, directly or indirectly, short selling any security of the Company or entering into any other arrangement that results in a gain only if the value of the Company’s securities decline in the future, selling a “call option” giving the holder an option to purchase securities of the Company, or buying a “put option” giving the holder an option to sell securities of the Company. The definition of “trading in securities” includes any derivatives-based, monetization, non-recourse loan or similar arrangement that changes the insider’s economic exposure to or interest in securities of the Company and which may not necessarily involve a sale.

All grants of long-term incentive awards are subject to our Insider Trading Policy and as a result, may not be granted during the “blackout” period beginning on the fifteenth day of the last month of each quarter and ending at the beginning of the second trading day following the date on which the Company’s quarterly or annual financial results, as applicable, have been publicly released. If the Board approves the issuance of any awards during the blackout period, these awards will not be granted until the blackout period is over. Further, we do not grant awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information or time the release of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of such grants.

Clawback Policy

In accordance with SEC rules and NASDAQ listing standards and in line with market practice, we adopted a clawback policy (Clawback Policy) which mandates the recovery of certain erroneously paid incentive-based compensation received by our executive officers on or after October 2, 2023, if we have a qualifying financial restatement during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which a financial restatement determination is made, subject to limited exceptions in accordance with SEC rules. Recovery is required regardless of whether the executive officer was involved in the preparation of the relevant financial statements. During Fiscal 2026, the Company did not have any qualifying financial restatement that required recovery of erroneously awarded compensation pursuant to the Clawback Policy.

Share Ownership Guidelines

We currently have equity ownership guidelines (Share Ownership Guidelines), the objective of which is to encourage our senior management, including our NEOs, and our directors to buy and hold Common Shares in the Company based upon an investment target.

Our required equity ownership levels are as follows:

CEO6x base salary
Other senior management2x base salary
Non-management director5x annual retainer

For purposes of the Share Ownership Guidelines, individuals are deemed to hold all securities over which they are the registered or beneficial owner thereof under the rules of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise in which such person has or shares:

voting power which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security; and/or

investment power which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security.

The result is that only Common Shares – not unvested equity-based compensation – and, for non-management directors, deferred share units (DSUs), are eligible forms of equity for purposes of Share Ownership Guideline fulfillment. Also, Common Shares are valued at the greater of their book value (i.e., purchase price) or the current market value. On an annual basis, the Talent and Compensation Committee reviews the recommended ownership levels under the Share Ownership Guidelines and the compliance by our executive officers and directors with the Share Ownership Guidelines.

The Board originally implemented the Share Ownership Guidelines in October 2009 and recommends that equity ownership levels be achieved within five years of becoming a member of the executive leadership team, including NEOs. As a result of the changes to the ownership guidelines, such individuals will have until 2030 to achieve the new share ownership requirements. The Board recommends that senior management retain their ownership levels for as long as they remain members of the executive leadership team. We believe that the Share Ownership Guidelines help align the financial interests of our senior management team and directors with the financial interests of our shareholders.

Named Executive Officers

NEOs may achieve the Share Ownership Guidelines through the exercise of stock option awards for Common Shares, Common Shares received as a result of vested RSUs or PSUs, purchases under the ESPP, through open market purchases made in compliance with applicable securities laws or through any equity plan(s) we may adopt from time to time providing for the acquisition of Common Shares. Until the Share Ownership Guidelines are met, it is recommended that an NEO retain a portion of any stock option exercise or LTIP award in Common Shares to contribute to the achievement of the Share Ownership Guidelines. Common Shares issuable pursuant to the unexercised options are not counted towards meeting the equity ownership target.

As of the end of Fiscal 2026, all NEOs were in compliance with the Share Ownership Guidelines, as applicable to them.

Directors

Regarding non-management directors, both Common Shares and deferred stock units (DSUs) are counted towards the achievement of the Share Ownership Guidelines. The Company currently has a Directors’ Deferred

Share Unit Plan (DSU Plan), whereby any non-management director of the Company may elect to defer all or part of their retainer and/or fees in the form of common stock equivalents. As of the end of Fiscal 2026, all non-management directors were in compliance with the Share Ownership Guidelines, as applicable to them. For further details, see the table below titled “Director Compensation for Fiscal 2026.”

Director Compensation for Fiscal 2026

The following table sets forth summary information concerning the annual compensation received by each of the non-management directors of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. In addition to cash compensation for serving on the Board as its Chair, in August 2025, the Company appointed Mr. Jenkins as Executive Chair and Chief Strategy Officer. The Board determined to enter into this arrangement after considering the extraordinary business circumstances at that time, notably that both the CEO and CFO roles were held by interim incumbents, with no specific timeframe to name permanent incumbents to those positions. The Board also considered Mr. Jenkins’ long history with the Company, his understanding of key strategic issues, and his strong alignment with shareholders given his ownership stake in the Company. Following the successful conclusion of the process to hire and onboard Mr. Antoun, Mr. Jenkins returned to his prior role solely as Board Chair.

Effective July 17, 2026, Jill Larsen was appointed to the Board. As Ms. Larsen joined the Board following the end of Fiscal 2026, no compensation was earned or paid during Fiscal 2026 and accordingly Ms. Larsen is not included in the table below.

(1)Non-management directors may elect to receive DSUs or cash for their directors’ fees and/or annual equity grant. Cash paid for directors’ fees are paid in accordance with the scheduled fee arrangements set forth in the table below. If cash is elected for the annual equity grant, such cash is payable at the Company’s next AGM. In Fiscal 2026, Messrs. Jenkins and Previn, and Ms. Weinstein elected to receive cash for all of their annual equity grant.

(2)Non-management directors may elect to defer all or a portion of their retainer and/or fees in the form of DSUs under our DSU Plan based on the value of the Company’s shares as of the date fees would otherwise be paid. The DSU Plan, originally effective February 2, 2010, and amended and restated in October 2018, is available to any non-management director of the Company and is designed to promote greater alignment of long-term interests between directors of the Company and its shareholders. DSUs granted as compensation for directors’ fees vest immediately whereas the DSUs granted for the annual equity grant vest at the Company’s next AGM. No DSUs are payable by the Company until the director ceases to be a member of the Board. DSUs are entitled to receive dividend equivalents, which are credited in the form of additional units and are subject to the same conditions as the underlying award. Such dividend equivalents are reflected in the grant date fair value of the award and do not result in additional compensation for purposes of the table.

(3)The amounts set forth in this column represent the amount recognized as the aggregate grant-date fair value of equity-based compensation awards as calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718. These amounts do not reflect whether the recipient has actually realized a financial benefit from the awards. For a discussion of the assumptions used in this valuation, see Note 13 “Equity and Share-based Compensation” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In Fiscal 2026, Messrs. Jenkins, Fowlie, Fraser, Hastings, Hau, Hyder, Previn, Sadler and Schindler and Mses. Ludgate, Rippert, Stevenson, Stuart, and Weinstein received —, 8,723, 10,646, 6,044, 7,453, 8,088, 1,258, 429, 7,351, 11,241, 10,642, 785, 8,201, and 3,076 DSUs, respectively.

(17)As of June 30, 2026, Ms. Weinstein holds 168,032 DSUs.

(18)During Fiscal 2026, Mr. Jenkins received $3.1 million in consulting fees under the advisory services arrangement described under “Director Compensation for Fiscal 2026” above. These payments were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board in accordance with its policies and procedures, and Mr. Jenkins abstained from voting on all transactions from which he could derive consulting fees.

(19)Includes amounts for authorized spousal travel expenses related to certain Company events and tax gross-ups related thereto. The gross-up amounts for Messrs. Fowlie, Hastings and Hau and Mses. Stuart and Weinstein were $18,377, $15,205, $387, $8,571, and $12,131, respectively.

The Board sets the level of compensation for directors, based on the recommendations of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. From time to time, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the amount and form of compensation paid to directors, having regard to the workload and responsibilities involved in being an effective director, and benchmarked against director compensation for comparable companies. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s review may be conducted with the assistance of outside consultants. Directors who are salaried officers or employees receive no compensation for serving as directors. In Fiscal 2026, Mr. Barrenechea was the only employee director until August 11, 2025 and Mr. Antoun is the only employee director since April 20, 2026. The material terms of our director compensation arrangements are as follows:

DescriptionAmount and Frequency of Payment
Annual Chair retainer fee payable to the Chair of the Board$200,000 per year payable following our annual general meeting
Annual retainer fee payable to each non-management director$75,000 per director payable following our annual general meeting
Annual Audit Committee retainer fee payable to each member of the Audit Committee$25,000 per year payable at $6,250 at the beginning of each quarterly period.
Annual Audit Committee Chair retainer fee payable to the Chair of the Audit Committee$10,000 per year payable at $2,500 at the beginning of each quarterly period.
Annual Talent and Compensation Committee retainer fee payable to each member of the Talent and Compensation Committee$15,000 per year payable at $3,750 at the beginning of each quarterly period.
Annual Talent and Compensation Committee Chair retainer fee payable to the Chair of the Talent and Compensation Committee$10,000 per year payable at $2,500 at the beginning of each quarterly period.
Annual Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee retainer fee payable to each member of the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee$10,000 per year payable at $2,500 at the beginning of each quarterly period.
Annual Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee Chair retainer fee payable to the Chair of the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee$8,000 per year payable at $2,000 at the beginning of each quarterly period.
Excess travel fee payable to each non-management director attending a meeting who travels more than six hours$2,000 per meeting when applicable.
Retainer fees payable to each non-management director that is a member of an Ad-hoc Committees of the Board (1)Reasonable amount to compensate for additional workload as determined by the Board.

(1)During Fiscal 2026, the Board constituted two ad hoc committees: the Strategy Committee and the CEO Search Committee. The Strategy Committee was established by the Board to oversee the evaluation and execution of potential divestitures, including the completed divestitures of eDOCS and Vertica. For Fiscal 2026, Messrs. Fowlie, Hastings, and Previn, and Ms. Rippert were each members of the Strategy Committee. The CEO Search Committee was constituted to identify, evaluate and recommend the Company's next permanent CEO. Messrs. Fraser, Hau, and Hyder, and Ms. Ludgate, were each members of the CEO Search Committee. Applicable fees are included in the Director Compensation table above.

The compensation described in the table above reflects the Company’s standard non-management director compensation program. The Board may, from time to time, approve additional compensation for directors who perform services or assume responsibilities beyond their normal Board and committee duties. In addition to the scheduled fee arrangements set forth in the table above, non-management directors also receive an annual equity grant representing the long-term component of their compensation. The amount of the annual equity grant is discretionary; however, historically, the amount of this grant has been determined and updated on a periodic basis with the assistance of the Talent and Compensation Committee and the compensation consultant and benchmarked against director compensation for comparable companies. For Fiscal 2026, the annual equity grant was $250,000 for each non-management director and $320,000 for the Chair of the Board.

Non-management directors may elect to receive DSUs or cash for their directors’ fees and/or annual equity grant. DSUs are granted under a DSU Plan, which is available to any non-management director of the Company. DSUs granted as compensation for directors’ fees vest immediately whereas DSUs granted for the annual equity grant vest at the Company’s next AGM. If cash is elected for the annual equity grant, such cash is also payable at the Company’s next AGM. No DSUs are payable by the Company until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.

As with its employees, the Company believes that granting compensation to directors in the form of equity, such as DSUs, promotes a greater alignment of long-term interests between directors of the Company and the shareholders of the Company.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight. The Board is responsible for overseeing management’s implementation and operation of enterprise risk management, either directly or through its committees, which shall report to the Board with respect to risk oversight undertaken in accordance with their respective charters. At least annually, the Board shall review reports provided by management on the risks inherent in the business of the Company (including appropriate crisis preparedness, business continuity, information system controls, cybersecurity and data privacy programs and risks, including those related to the deployment of artificial intelligence and disaster recovery plans, as well as corporate citizenship matters, including climate-related matters), the appropriate degree of risk mitigation and risk control, overall compliance with and the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management policies, and residual risks remaining after implementation of risk controls. In addition, each committee reviews and reports to the Board on risk oversight matters, as described below.

The Audit Committee oversees risks related to our accounting, financial statements and financial reporting process. On a quarterly basis, the Audit Committee also reviews reports provided by management on the risks inherent in the business of the Company, including those related to cybersecurity and data privacy programs and risks, including those related to the deployment of artificial intelligence, and disaster recovery plans, and reports to the Board with respect to risk oversight undertaken.

The Talent and Compensation Committee oversees risks which may be associated with our compensation policies, practices and programs, in particular with respect to our executive officers. The Talent and Compensation Committee assesses such risks with the review and assistance of the Company’s management and the Talent and Compensation Committee’s external compensation consultants. Based on its review and consideration of all of the Company’s compensation plans and practices, the Company does not believe that its compensation policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee monitors risk and potential risks with respect to the effectiveness of the Board, and considers aspects such as director succession, Board composition and the principal policies that guide the Company’s overall corporate governance.

The members of each of the Audit Committee, the Talent and Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are all “independent” directors within the meaning ascribed to it in Multilateral Instrument 52-110-Audit Committees as well as the listing standards of the NASDAQ, and, in the case of the Audit Committee, the additional independence requirements set out by the SEC.

All of our directors are kept informed of our business through open discussions with our management team, including our CEO, who serves on our Board. The Board also receives documents, such as quarterly and periodic management reports and financial statements, and our directors have access to all books, records and reports upon request. Members of management are available at all times to answer any questions that Board members may have.
