	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “OpenText” or the “Company”. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term “Fiscal 2014” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2014; (ii) the term “Fiscal 2013” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2012 and ending June 30, 2013; (iii) the term “Fiscal 2012” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2012; and (iv) the term “Fiscal 2011” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2010 and ending June 30, 2011.
	These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented and includes the financial results of Cordys Holding B.V. (Cordys), with effect from August 15, 2013 (see note 18).
	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) the realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and liabilities related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.
	Reclassifications
	Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Such reclassifications were not considered material and did not affect our consolidated total revenues, consolidated operating income or consolidated net income.

	Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits
	On July 18, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11). ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable tax jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with a deferred tax asset. We adopted ASU 2013-11 in the second quarter of Fiscal 2014 and the adoption thereof did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

	Term Loan A and Revolver
	As of December 31, 2013, our credit facility consists of a $600 million term loan facility (Term Loan A) and a $100 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver). Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets. We entered into this credit facility and borrowed the full amount under Term Loan A on November 9, 2011.
	Term Loan A has a five year term and repayments made under Term Loan A are equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount at each quarter for the first 2 years, approximately 1.88% for years 3 and 4 and 2.5% for year 5. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, interest on Term Loan A was at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, interest was at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%.
	For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, we recorded interest expense of $3.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively, relating to Term Loan A (three and six months ended December 31, 2012—$4.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively).
	The Revolver has a five year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of December 31, 2013, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.
	Mortgage
	We currently have an "open" mortgage with a bank where we can pay all or a portion of the mortgage on or before August 1, 2014. The original principal amount of the mortgage was Canadian $15.0 million and interest accrues monthly at a variable rate of Canadian prime plus 0.50%. Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of Canadian $0.1 million with a final lump sum principal payment due on maturity. The mortgage is secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We first entered into this mortgage in December 2005.
	As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the mortgage was approximately $10.0 million (June 30, 2013—$10.5 million).
	As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the Waterloo building that secures the mortgage was $15.9 million (June 30, 2013—$16.1 million).
	For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, relating to the mortgage (three and six months ended December 31, 2012—$0.1 million and $0.2 million).

	*	The current portion of the benefit obligation has been included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	CDT Defined Benefit Plan
	CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.
	The following are the details of the change in the benefit obligation for the CDT pension plan for the periods indicated:
		As of December 31, 2013				As of June 30, 2013
	Benefit obligation—beginning of period	$	23,871			$	21,461
	Service cost	228				457
	Interest cost	436				888
	Benefits paid	(251		)		(466		)

	Foreign exchange (gain) loss	1,241				1,253
	Benefit obligation—end of period	24,498				23,871
	Less: Current portion	(601		)		(535		)
	Non current portion of benefit obligation	$	23,897			$	23,336
	The following are the details of net pension expense for the CDT pension plan for the periods indicated:
			Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended
			December 31,							December 31,
			2013				2012			2013		2012
	Pension expense:
	Service cost		$	115			$	117		$	228	$	230
	Interest cost		219				226			436		446
	Amortization of actuarial gains and losses		69				71			138		139
	Net pension expense		$	403			$	414		$	802	$	815
	The CDT pension plan is an unfunded plan and therefore no contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan obligations are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's active employees. As of December 31, 2013 there is approximately $0.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT pension plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remaining fiscal year.
	In determining the fair value of the CDT pension plan benefit obligations as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, we used the following weighted-average key assumptions:
		As of December 31, 2013			As of June 30, 2013
	Assumptions:
	Salary increases	2.5	%		2.5	%
	Pension increases	2	%		2	%
	Discount rate	3.7	%		3.5	%
	Employee fluctuation rate:
	to age 30	1	%		1	%
	to age 35	0.5	%		0.5	%
	to age 40	—	%		—	%
	to age 45	0.5	%		0.5	%
	to age 50	0.5	%		0.5	%
	from age 51	1	%		1	%
	The Company's discount rate is based on AA-rated bonds, denominated in Euros, from German corporations.
	Anticipated pension payments under the CDT pension plan for the fiscal years indicated below are as follows:
		Fiscal years ending
		June  30,
	2014 (six months ended June 30)	$	301
	2015	622
	2016	690
	2017	760
	2018	815
	2019 to 2023	5,976
Total	$	9,164
CDT Anniversary Plan
CDT’s long-term employee benefit obligations arise under CDT’s “anniversary plan”. The obligation is unfunded and is carried at its fair value.
IXOS Defined Benefit Plans
Included in our pension liability, as of December 31, 2013, is a net amount of $0.8 million (June 30, 2013—$0.8 million) that relates to two IXOS defined benefit pensions plans (IXOS pension plans) in connection with certain former members of the IXOS Board of Directors and certain IXOS employees, respectively. The net periodic pension cost with respect to the IXOS pension plans is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets.

	Summary of Outstanding Stock Options
	As of December 31, 2013, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,866,674 Common Shares were outstanding and 2,476,998 Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. The exercise price of the options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.
	A summary of activity under our stock option plans for the six months ended December 31, 2013 is as follows:
		Options			Weighted-				Weighted-		Aggregate Intrinsic  Value
					Average  Exercise				Average		($’000s)
					Price				Remaining
									Contractual Term
									(years)
	Outstanding at June 30, 2013	1,805,391			$	49.44

	Outstanding at December 31, 2013	1,866,674			$	54.75			4.85		$	69,452
	Exercisable at December 31, 2013	645,294			$	41.82			3.22		$	32,358
	We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (ASC Topic 718) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of our stock options based upon historical data.
	We believe that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of our stock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards.
	For the periods indicated, the weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions were as follows:
			Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
			December 31,								December 31,
			2013				2012				2013				2012
	Weighted–average fair value of options granted		$	20.06			$	16.28			$	18.16			$	16.78
	Weighted-average assumptions used:
	Expected volatility		32		%		37		%		32		%		38		%
	Risk–free interest rate		1.15		%		0.64		%		1.17		%		0.64		%
	Expected dividend yield		1.4		%		—		%		1.6		%		—		%

	Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)		5		%		5		%		5		%		5		%
	Average exercise share price		$	83.21			$	52.74			$	76.18			$	53.2
	As of December 31, 2013, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately $19.0 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years.
	No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.
	We have not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.
	For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, cash in the amount of $3.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
	For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, cash in the amount of $2.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was nil and $0.8 million, respectively.
	Long-Term Incentive Plans
	We currently employ a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or RSUs. Target PSUs become vested upon the satisfaction of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period. LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are described below. LTIP grants will be referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based upon the year in which the grants are expected to vest and be settled.
	Grants made in Fiscal 2011 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2013 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2011 starting on October 29, 2010. Grants made under the Fiscal 2013 LTIP consisted of PSUs and the Performance Conditions for vesting relating to these grants were based on a combination of market and performance based conditions. We met some of the market and performance conditions and settled the Fiscal 2013 LTIP by issuing 155,021 Common Shares from our treasury stock, with a cost of approximately $7.1 million.
	Grants made in Fiscal 2012 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2014 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2012 starting on February 3, 2012. Grants made under the Fiscal 2014 LTIP consisted of PSUs and the Performance Conditions for vesting relating to these grants are based solely on market conditions. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2014 LTIP awards in stock.
	Grants made in Fiscal 2013 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2015 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2013 starting on November 2, 2012 for the RSUs and December 3, 2012 for the PSUs. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2015 LTIP awards in stock.
	Grants made in Fiscal 2014 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2016 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2014 starting on November 1, 2013. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted on November 1, 2013 are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of this LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2016 LTIP awards in stock. Separately on November 18, 2013, 39,150 fully vested RSUs were granted to certain employees under the Fiscal 2016 LTIP. We settled these RSUs by issuing 39,150 Common Shares from our treasury stock, with a cost of approximately $1.8 million.
	PSUs and RSUs granted under the LTIPs have been measured at fair value as of the effective date, consistent with ASC Topic 718, and will be charged to share-based compensation expense over the remaining life of the plan. Stock options granted under the LTIPs have been measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with ASC Topic 718. We estimate the fair value of PSUs using the Monte Carlo pricing model and RSUs have been valued based upon their grant date fair value.
Expected and actual stock compensation expense for each of the above mentioned LTIP plans is as follows:
									Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
									December 31,								December 31,

Of the total compensation cost of $50.0 million noted in the table above, $37.4 million has been recognized to date and the remaining expected total compensation cost of $12.6 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, we granted 14,238 and 14,481, respectively, deferred stock units (DSUs) to certain non-employee directors (three and six months ended December 31, 2012—16,862 and 17,161, respectively). The DSUs were issued under the Company’s Deferred Share Unit Plan that came into effect on February 2, 2010 and will vest at the Company’s next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs.
Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, cash in the amount of approximately $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, was received from employees that will be used to purchase Common Shares in future periods (three and six months ended December 31, 2012—$0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively).

	Guarantees and Indemnifications
	We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Litigation
	We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.
	Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (ASC Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.
	If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with ASC Topic 450-20. As of the date of this filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, such aggregated losses were not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
	Contingencies
	EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink) and its United States subsidaries are currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (the Department) for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for certain pre-acquisition EasyLink revenue. The potential exposure under this assessment, based upon the notice issued by the Department, is approximately $10.5 million. OpenText intends to vigorously defend against this assessment.
	In addition, Easylink is under audit for New York State sales tax for the periods from June 2004 through to February 2011. We intend to vigorously contest any assessments for this period based on facts and circumstances relating to business operations during this timeframe. However, the results of these audits, and the potential sales tax exposure for EasyLink, could be significantly influenced by the fact that our judicial appeal of the assessment against EasyLink for $0.5 million in tax, interest and penalties for New York State sales tax for the period March 2001 to May 2004 was denied. We believe we have established sufficient reserves for this matter.

Income Taxes	'
	INCOME TAXES
	Our effective tax rate represents the net effect of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that are subject to a wide range of income tax rates.
	We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
	For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:
			Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended
			December 31,							December 31,
			2013				2012			2013		2012
	Interest expense (recovery)		$	1,904			$	(2,041	)	4,232		(187		)
	Penalties expense (recovery)		(78		)		(3		)	160		36
	Total		$	1,826			$	(2,044	)	$	4,392	$	(151	)
	As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:
		As of December 31, 2013				As of June 30, 2013
	Interest expense accrued *	$	21,601			$	18,210
	Penalties accrued *	$	6,264			$	6,045
	*	These balances have been included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of December 31, 2013, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $3.9 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.
	Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. Tax years that remain open to examinations by local taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction up to ten years.
	We are subject to tax examinations in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have examinations open in Canada, the United States, France, Spain, Germany, India and the Netherlands. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes.
	We believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to our tax examinations and that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, we cannot predict with any level of certainty the exact nature of any future possible settlements.
	As at December 31, 2013, we have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of our non-Canadian subsidiaries other than certain United States and Luxembourg subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries, or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future. We do plan to make periodic repatriations that will be subject to withholding taxes from certain United States and Luxembourg subsidiaries and have accrued additional tax cost attributable to these distributions in the amount of $1.4 million (June 30, 2013—$0.4 million).
	The effective GAAP tax rate increased to 23.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from 4.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to an increase in the net expense of unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $11.6 million and an increase of $2.1 million related to the impact of adjustments in the United States, Germany and Australia upon filing of tax returns in Fiscal 2014 as compared to Fiscal 2013. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value, in this context, should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value and addressing disclosure requirements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

•

Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

•

Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013:

Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparty to which has high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for the derivative instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates.

Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in our consolidated financial statements at an amount that approximates their fair value (a Level 3 measurement) due to their short maturities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 2 or Level 3.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We are engaged in a hedging program with a Canadian chartered bank to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows relating to a portion of our Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, which are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge portions of our payroll exposure. We do not use these forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. These forward contracts typically mature between one and twelve months.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with ASC Topic 815 we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of December 31, 2013, is recorded within “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

As of December 31, 2013, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $49.8 million (June 30, 2013—$99.6 million).

	Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus the dilutive effect of Common Share equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of our Board and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Board reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Board generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.
	During the six months ended December 31, 2013, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned approximately $0.2 million (six months ended December 31, 2012—$0.5 million) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.

	Dividends
	Stock Dividends
	On January 23, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of our outstanding Common Shares. The two-for-one stock split will be implemented by way of a stock dividend whereby shareholders will receive one Common Share for each Common Share held. The record date for the stock dividend will be February 7, 2014 and the payment date will be February 18, 2014. We are undertaking the stock split to make our Common Shares more readily accessible to individual shareholders, increase and broaden our shareholder base, and improve the liquidity of the market for our Common Shares.
	As of January 22, 2014 there were 60,473,680 OpenText Common Shares outstanding. Adjusting for the stock split, there will be 120,947,360 OpenText Common Shares outstanding.
	Cash Dividends
	As part of our quarterly, non cumulative cash dividend program, we declared, on January 23, 2014, a dividend of $0.15 per Common Share (or $0.30 per Common Share on a pre stock split basis). The record date for this dividend is February 25, 2014 and the payment date is March 14, 2014. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination and discretion of our Board of Directors.
	Acquisition of GXS Group, Inc.
	On January 16, 2014, OpenText acquired 100% of GXS Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (GXS) and leader in cloud-based, business to business integration (B2B), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2013 (the Merger Agreement), which has been filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 6, 2013 (the Acquisition).
	As of the effective time of the Acquisition, each share of GXS common stock and GXS preferred stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (subject to certain exceptions) was converted into the right to receive a certain amount of cash. Also, in the case of GXS preferred stock, for preferred stockholders whose status as “accredited investors” was verified under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, such stockholders received an aggregate of 1,297,521 OpenText Common Shares. The total purchase price comprised of approximately $1.1 billion in cash and the issuance of 1,297,521 OpenText Common Shares.
	The acquisition is expected to reinforce OpenText's leadership in EIM by combining OpenText's Information Exchange portfolio with GXS' portfolio of B2B integration services and managed services. Currently, as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are still evaluating the impact of this acquisition on our consolidated financial statements and the results of this evaluation will be included in our financial statements for the third quarter of Fiscal 2014.
	Term Loan B
	In connection with the Acquisition of GXS, on January 16, 2014, OpenText entered into a new credit facility, which is in addition to the Company’s Term Loan A that already exists as of December 31, 2013, which provides for a $800 million term loan facility with certain lenders named therein, Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays), as sole administrative agent and collateral agent, and with Barclays and RBC Capital Markets as lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (Term Loan B).
	Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets. We entered into Term Loan B and borrowed the full amount of $800 million on January 16, 2014. Term Loan B has a seven year term. Repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due at maturity.
	Borrowings under Term Loan B currently bear a floating rate of interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%.
	For further details relating to Term Loan B, please see the credit agreement filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on January 16, 2014.
	Restructuring Plan
	In connection with the acquisition of GXS, on January 16, 2014, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations. These charges relate to workforce reductions, facility consolidations and other costs. With respect to each of these categories we expect to incur charges during the remainder of Fiscal 2014, in the following approximate ranges:
	•Workforce reductions: $11.0 million to $13.0 million,
	•Facility consolidations: $9.0 million to $11.0 million, and
	•Other Costs: $2.0 million to $3.0 million.
	In addition, we expect to incur additional restructuring costs in the range of $7.0 million to $10.0 million, in connection with this restructuring plan, in Fiscal 2015. Total costs to be incurred in conjunction with this restructuring plan are expected to be approximately $29.0 million to $37.0 million and we expect all actions to be substantially completed by the end of Fiscal 2015.
