Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 3, 2024, Open Text Corporation (the "Company") announced a business optimization plan. The plan is expected to result in the reduction of approximately 1,200 positions across the Company, with an annualized cost savings of approximately $200 million, as well as the reinvestment of approximately $50 million annually for approximately 800 new roles in Sales, Professional Services and Engineering. The business optimization plan is intended to strategically align the Company's workforce to support its growth and innovation plans. On an overall basis, the business optimization plan is expected to result in a 1.7% reduction of the Company's workforce, to approximately 23,000 employees. The Company expects to complete the business optimization plan substantially during the first quarter of its fiscal year 2025 ("Fiscal 2025").
The Company expects to incur approximately $60 million in restructuring charges that will be substantially recognized in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, with the majority of such charges anticipated to be paid in cash during the same quarter. The Company expects the business optimization plan, when fully implemented, will result in net savings of approximately $150 million in Fiscal 2025.
The Company will provide additional details of the business optimization plan as part of its fourth quarter and 2024 fiscal year end results.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K contain forward-looking statements or information (forward-looking statements) within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable securities laws of the United States and Canada, and is subject to the safe harbors created by those provisions. All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "could," "would," "might," "will" and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements or information that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements, and are based on our current expectations, forecasts and projections about the operating environment, economies and markets in which we operate. Projected financial information with respect to the Company, as well as statements about annualized cost savings and restructuring charges, benefits and other aspects of the business optimization plan, and other matters, constitutes forward-looking statements and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Forward-looking statements reflect our current estimates, beliefs and assumptions, which are based on management's perception of historic trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances, such as certain assumptions about the economy, as well as market, financial and operational assumptions. Management's estimates, beliefs and assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies regarding future events and, as such, are subject to change. We can give no assurance that such estimates, beliefs and assumptions will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. The actual results that OpenText achieves may differ materially from any forward-looking statements.
For additional information with respect to risks and other factors which could occur, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other securities filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other securities regulators. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further, readers should note that we may announce information using our website, press releases, securities law filings, public conference calls, webcasts and the social media channels identified on the Investors section of our website (https://investors.opentext.com). Such social media channels may include the Company's or our CEO's blog, X, formerly known as Twitter, account or LinkedIn account. The information posted through such channels may be material. Accordingly, readers should monitor such channels in addition to our other forms of communication. Information included on or accessible through any such channels is not incorporated by reference in or otherwise included as a part of this filing.
