OpenText to Continue Focusing on Core Cloud Products for Secure, Trusted Data for Enterprise AI

WATERLOO, ON, Feb. 2, 2026 /CNW/ -- Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX), a global leader in secure information management for AI, today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to divest Vertica, a part of its non-core Analytics portfolio, to Rocket Software Inc., a Bain Capital portfolio company ("Rocket Software") for US$150 million in cash, before taxes, fees and other adjustments.

"We are executing on our strategic plan, focusing on our core product offerings, our expertise in secure data for Enterprise AI, and cloud solutions that provide strategic choice and flexibility for our customers," said P. Thomas Jenkins, OpenText Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Strategy Officer. "By rationalizing non-core assets, we are strengthening the portfolio, reinforcing our capital allocation framework, and positioning OpenText to accelerate long-term growth and shareholder value."

Vertica is part of OpenText's Analytics product group. In OpenText's fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, Vertica contributed approximately US$80 million in annual revenue. OpenText intends to use the proceeds from the sale of Vertica to reduce its outstanding debt.

"I want to recognize the dedication of our teams and thank our customers and partners for their continued trust," said James McGourlay, OpenText Interim Chief Executive Officer. "We believe this transaction places the Vertica solution with a strong, committed steward, and we look forward to working closely with Rocket Software to support customers and ensure a smooth, thoughtful transition."

Under the terms of the agreement, the software, customer contracts, and associated services and employees will be transferred to Rocket Software. The transaction is expected to close during fiscal year 2026, subject to customary approvals and closing conditions.

Natural resources investments are generally volatile, with higher headline risk than other sectors. They tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events, and underlying commodity prices. The prices of natural resources investments are influenced by factors such as the costs of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, and coal. These investments may trade on various exchanges and experience price fluctuations due to short-term demand, supply, and investment flows.

Natural resource investments often respond more sensitively to global events and economic data, including natural disasters, political turmoil, pandemics, or the release of employment data.

Investing in foreign markets may carry greater risks than domestic markets, including political, currency, economic, and market risks. It is essential to evaluate if trading in low-priced and international securities is appropriate for your circumstances and financial resources. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Mine$tockers Inc., its affiliates, family, friends, employees, associates, and others may hold positions in the securities it covers. Some of the companies covered may be paying clients of the production.

No investment process is risk-free, and profitability is not guaranteed; investors may lose their entire investment. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in foreign securities involves risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and differing accounting standards, potentially leading to greater share price volatility. The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks generally experience higher volatility than large-company stocks and may involve higher risks. Smaller companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification, and competitive strengths needed to withstand adverse economic conditions.
