This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) originally filed on December 16, 2014, by Asteroid Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Open Text Corporation, a corporation organized in Canada (“OpenText”), to purchase all shares of common stock of Actuate Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“Actuate”), par value $0.001 per share, including the associated preferred stock purchase rights issued under the Rights Agreement (each, a “Share”), that are issued and outstanding, at a price of $6.60 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 16, 2014 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), which is annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), which is annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(B).

All capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

The items of the Schedule TO set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 11. Additional Information.

Section 15—“Certain Legal Matters—Litigation” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting “None.” and replacing it in its entirety with the following:

The following complaint has been filed in connection with the Offer and the Merger (the “Proposed Transaction”): a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, dated December 17, 2014, captioned Lax v. Actuate Corporation, et al. The complaint is a purported stockholder class action and names as defendants Actuate, the members of the Actuate Board, OpenText and Purchaser (collectively, the “Defendants”).

The plaintiff alleges that the members of the Actuate Board breached their fiduciary duties to Actuate’s stockholders in connection with the Proposed Transaction. In support of his purported claims, the plaintiff alleges that the members of the Actuate Board (i) failed to adequately consider the Proposed Transaction, including whether it maximizes stockholder value, (ii) failed to apprise themselves of the true value of Actuate and (iii) otherwise failed to take steps necessary to comply with their fiduciary duties, such as by avoiding conflicts of interest and disclosing all material facts necessary to permit Actuate’s public stockholders to make an informed decision with respect to the Proposed Transaction or any alternate transaction. The complaint also claims that OpenText and Purchaser aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, to obtain damages and to enjoin the Proposed Transaction. The plaintiff also seeks attorneys’ and expert fees and costs. The Defendants may become subject to similar litigation relating to the Proposed Transaction.
