Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the &#8220;Rights Agent&#8221;) originally entered into as of November 1, 2004, and as previously amended and restated on December 6, 2007, December 2, 2010, September 26, 2013, September 23, 2016 and September 4, 2019 (the &#8220;Rights Plans&#8221;).

This significantly dilutes the share position of the person that acquires 20% or more of the Common Shares and practically prevents that person from acquiring control of 20% or greater of the Common Shares unless the Amended Rights Plan has been withdrawn or the buyer makes a Permitted Bid (as defined in the Amended Rights Plan). The most common approaches that a buyer may take to have the Amended Rights Plan withdrawn are to negotiate with the Board of Directors to have the Amended Rights Plan waived, or to apply to a securities commission to order withdrawal of the Amended Rights Plan if the Company cannot develop an auction. Both of these approaches will give the Board of Directors more time and control over any sale process and increase the likelihood of a better offer to the Company&#8217;s shareholders.</span></div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:22.5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Amended Rights Plan is identical in all material respects to the prior Rights Plan approved at the annual meeting of shareholders held on September 4, 2019, subject to updates to specific dates included in the Amended Rights Plan and certain other non-substantive amendments for consistency.</span></div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:22.5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Amended Rights Plan will remain in force until the earlier of the Termination Time (the time at which the right to exercise rights shall terminate pursuant to the Amended Rights Plan) and the termination of the 2025 annual meeting of the Company's shareholders unless at or prior to such meeting the Company's shareholders ratify the continued existence of the Amended Rights Plan, in which case the Amended Rights Plan would expire at the earlier of the Termination Time and the termination of the 2025 annual meeting of the Company's shareholders.</span></div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:22.5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The foregoing summary of the Amended Rights Plan does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amended Rights Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.</span></div><div style="margin-top:14pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Item 5.07&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">(a) At the Annual Meeting of the Company held on September 15, 2022 (the "Annual Meeting"), the proposals listed below were submitted to a vote of the shareholders.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">(b) The voting results for each proposal at the Annual Meeting is set forth below.

Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Shareholder Rights Plan
On September 15, 2022, the shareholders of Open Text Corporation (the "Company") approved the continuation, amendment and restatement of the shareholder rights plan (the "Amended Rights Plan") that the Company and Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the "Rights Agent") originally entered into as of November 1, 2004, and as previously amended and restated on December 6, 2007, December 2, 2010, September 26, 2013, September 23, 2016 and September 4, 2019 (the "Rights Plans"). The Rights Agent also acts as transfer agent for the Company, as trustee to the Company's employee benefit trust and from time to time in connection with acquisitions, as escrow agent for the Company.
The Amended Rights Plan continues (with the non-substantive changes described below) a right (which may only be exercised if a person acquires control of 20% or more of the Company's common shares ("Common Shares")) for each shareholder, other than the person that acquires 20% or more of the Common Shares, to acquire additional Common Shares at one-half of the market price at the time of exercise. This significantly dilutes the share position of the person that acquires 20% or more of the Common Shares and practically prevents that person from acquiring control of 20% or greater of the Common Shares unless the Amended Rights Plan has been withdrawn or the buyer makes a Permitted Bid (as defined in the Amended Rights Plan). The most common approaches that a buyer may take to have the Amended Rights Plan withdrawn are to negotiate with the Board of Directors to have the Amended Rights Plan waived, or to apply to a securities commission to order withdrawal of the Amended Rights Plan if the Company cannot develop an auction. Both of these approaches will give the Board of Directors more time and control over any sale process and increase the likelihood of a better offer to the Company's shareholders.
The Amended Rights Plan is identical in all material respects to the prior Rights Plan approved at the annual meeting of shareholders held on September 4, 2019, subject to updates to specific dates included in the Amended Rights Plan and certain other non-substantive amendments for consistency.
The Amended Rights Plan will remain in force until the earlier of the Termination Time (the time at which the right to exercise rights shall terminate pursuant to the Amended Rights Plan) and the termination of the 2025 annual meeting of the Company's shareholders unless at or prior to such meeting the Company's shareholders ratify the continued existence of the Amended Rights Plan, in which case the Amended Rights Plan would expire at the earlier of the Termination Time and the termination of the 2025 annual meeting of the Company's shareholders.
The foregoing summary of the Amended Rights Plan does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amended Rights Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
