−Removed: The table below summarizes key feedback themes from our s hare holders obtained following the 2024 AGM and our responsive actions and perspectives for Fiscal 2026.
−Removed: What We Heard - Key Themes
−Removed: What We Did - Our Perspectives and Actions
−Removed: Some shareholders had concerns regarding the level of Fiscal 2024 CEO pay, CEO LTIP structure and historical one-time CEO incentive awards
−Removed: Transition to 100% Performance-Based LTIP:
−Removed: Beginning in Fiscal 2026, the CEO’s LTIP grants will be comprised entirely of PSUs, making the vesting of the full award performance-based and fully at risk.
−Removed: One-Time Grants:
−Removed: We adhered to our commitment in Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025 and committed going forward that there would not be any one-time long-term incentive awards granted to our CEO, as well as other existing executives.
+Added: The strong support reflected in the 2025 Say-on-Pay vote affirms the cumulative design changes made over the past several years.
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: What We Heard - Key Themes What We Did - Our Perspectives and Actions
+Added: 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.
+Added: CEO LTIP Awards:
+Added: 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.
+Added: No One-Time LTI Awards:
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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:
−Removed: For Fiscal 2026, in partnership with our CEO, we also reduced our CEO’s total target compensation by $500,000 (a 5% decrease) by lowering the target value of the LTIP award.
−Removed: Following this adjustment, the CEO’s target total compensation is now positioned below the 25th percentile of our updated peer group, demonstrating our commitment to shareholder alignment and responsible pay governance.
−Removed: Shareholders suggested reviewing the performance leverage required to earn threshold and maximum payout under our STI program In alignment with practices at our new peer group, we have strengthened our STI program for Fiscal 2026 by increasing the performance standards required to earn payouts, aligning the plan more closely with market best practices and our pay-for-performance philosophy.
−Removed: Higher Thresholds, Lower Payouts:
−Removed: In Fiscal 2025, performance at 90% of target resulted in a 40% threshold payout.
−Removed: For Fiscal 2026, we have increased the minimum performance threshold to 95% of target and lowered the corresponding payout to 25%.
−Removed: These revised payout curves apply to both Revenue and AOI metrics.
−Removed: More Rigorous Maximum Payout Criteria:
−Removed: To earn the maximum STI payout of 200% of target in Fiscal 2026, performance must reach at least 104% of target for both Revenue and AOI.
−Removed: This represents a stricter requirement than in Fiscal 2025, when just the AOI metric required 103% performance to achieve maximum payout.
−Removed: The revised STI payout structure for Fiscal 2026 is designed to deliver lower payouts for below-target performance and require higher performance to achieve maximum payouts.
−Removed: The changes strengthen the link between pay and performance by increasing the incentive to drive meaningful revenue and AOI growth.
−Removed: At the same time, it introduces more stringent consequences for underperformance, resulting in a more rigorous framework than that used in Fiscal 2025.
−Removed: This builds on the simplification of STI metrics in Fiscal 2025, when, following the integration of the Micro Focus acquisition, we streamlined the STI program by removing Micro Focus revenue as a separate performance measure.
−Removed: Further, for Fiscal 2026, to ensure alignment and consistency, our STI program for all executives, including our NEOs, will be based on Worldwide Revenues and AOI.
−Removed: Historically, certain of our Sales executives were measured on other metrics, including in part based on Cloud, Customer Support Revenue and Enterprise PS Bookings.
−Removed: By aligning to the same STI metrics, this will simplify our STI program and ensure all executives align to our strategic priorities, which include driving profitable organic growth across the business.
−Removed: See Section VI - Elements of Our Compensation Program for a description of the Worldwide Revenues and AOI metrics within our STI program.
−Removed: Tab le of C ontents
−Removed: Shareholders voiced concerns about current structure of annual LTIP award vehicle mix and requested even greater pay-for-performance alignment
−Removed: Updated Annual LTIP Award Vehicle Mix:
−Removed: Beginning in Fiscal 2026, the annual LTIP awards for our NEOs (excluding the CEO) will be comprised exclusively of PSUs and RSUs, weighted at 55% and 45%, respectively.
−Removed: As discussed above, the CEO’s LTIP grants will be comprised entirely of PSUs.
−Removed: Stock options will no longer be included in the annual LTIP award vehicle mix.
−Removed: This shift increases the proportion of performance-based equity to a majority of the total annual LTIP award, underscoring our commitment to a robust pay-for-performance framework.
−Removed: Introduction of Absolute TSR Modifier:
−Removed: In Fiscal 2025, in order to achieve target PSU payout, we required relative TSR to outperform the NASDAQ Composite Index at the 55th percentile, up from the 50th percentile.
−Removed: To further align executive pay with shareholder outcomes, we are also introducing an absolute TSR modifier to the PSU component, effective Fiscal 2026.
−Removed: Under this modifier, if the Company’s absolute TSR is negative over the performance period, the PSU payout will be capped at 100% target, even if relative TSR performance attainment would result in an above target payout otherwise, bringing pay outcomes into better alignment with the shareholder experience.
−Removed: Some shareholders voiced concerns that our compensation peer group included companies that were not appropriately scaled to OpenText’s size New Compensation Peer Group:
−Removed: We received feedback that, while our peer group was well-aligned in terms of industry and revenue, concerns remained regarding the comparatively high average market capitalization of peer group companies.
−Removed: In response, we conducted a comprehensive review and replaced eight companies with six new peers (see Section V – Compensation Peer Group below for more information on our new peer group).
−Removed: The revised peer group more accurately reflects OpenText’s market capitalization (all new peers have market capitalizations that fall within a reasonable range relative to OpenText (.25x to 4x)), revenue profile, and operating complexity.
−Removed: This ensures a more appropriate benchmark for executive compensation and reinforces our commitment to shareholder alignment.
+Added: Antoun’s total target compensation is 24% lower than that of his predecessor and is positioned below the 25th percentile of our peer group.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Unified STI Metrics Across All NEOs:
+Added: 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.
+Added: In Fiscal 2026, Mr.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Strengthened STI Performance Requirements:
+Added: Starting Fiscal 2026, the STI performance requirements were tightened across the board for both Revenue and AOI metrics:
+Added: (1) the minimum performance threshold was raised to 95% of target (from 90%);
+Added: (2) the corresponding threshold payout was reduced to 25% (from 40%);
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Raised rTSR Performance Hurdle:
+Added: 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.
+Added: This sets a higher bar for target payouts compared to prevalent market practice.
+Added: Annual LTIP Shifted to PSUs and RSUs Only:
+Added: Beginning in Fiscal 2026, the annual LTIP for NEOs (excluding the CEO) consists exclusively of PSUs (55%) and RSUs (45%).
+Added: Stock options were eliminated from the regular annual LTIP vehicle mix.
+Added: The CEO’s LTIP consists of 70% PSUs and 30% RSUs, reflecting a greater emphasis on performance-based compensation.
+Added: Absolute TSR Modifier Introduced:
+Added: For Fiscal 2026, an absolute TSR modifier was added to the PSU program.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Some shareholders voiced concerns that our compensation peer group included companies that were not appropriately scaled to OpenText’s size Comprehensive Peer Group Refreshment:
+Added: 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.
+Added: For Fiscal 2026, no changes were made to the peer group.
+Added: 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:
−Removed: • OpenText revenues are 19% higher than the peer group median, placing us at the 61st percentile;
−Removed: • Employee headcount is at the 75 th percentile of the peer group median;
−Removed: • Market capitalization is positioned at the 22 nd percentile relative to the peer group.
−Removed: Additional Executive Compensation Program Changes
−Removed: In addition to the actions discussed above, we also adjusted our Share Ownership Guidelines for our executives as part of our comprehensive review of the program.
−Removed: To further strengthen alignment between executive interests and those of our shareholders, we are increasing the equity ownership guidelines for senior management (excluding the CEO) beginning in Fiscal 2026.
−Removed: For our NEOs (excluding the CEO), the updated guidelines will require these executives to hold equity equivalent to 2x their base salary, up from the previous 1x requirement.
−Removed: For our CEO, his ownership requirement will remain at 6x base salary, a level that already exceeds the average of our peer group.
−Removed: See Section VII - Other Elements of Our Compensation Program for a detailed discussion of our Share Ownership Guidelines.
−Removed: Section II - Compensation Governance and Objectives
+Added: • OpenText revenues are at the 60th percentile;
+Added: • Employee headcount is at the 70th percentile;
