This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Galileo Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Open Text Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the federal laws of Canada (“OpenText”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2017 (together with this Amendment, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by Purchaser for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Shares”), of Guidance Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guidance”), at a price of $7.10 per Share in cash, without interest and net of applicable withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 8, 2017 (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) (and which, together with the Offer to Purchase and other related materials, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer”).

All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO.

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

Item 11. Additional Information.

The Offer to Purchase and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below.

The subsection of Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase titled “Antitrust Compliance” is amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

“On August 15, 2017, the FTC granted early termination of the waiting period required under the HSR Act, thus ending the required waiting period with respect to the Offer and the Merger. Accordingly, the HSR Condition has now been satisfied.”

The subsection of Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase titled “Litigation” is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting “None.” and replacing it with the following:

“Two purported class action complaints related to the Offer and the Merger have been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of putative classes of Guidance’s stockholders. These complaints were filed on August 14, 2017 and are captioned Robert Berg v. Guidance Software, Inc., et al. and Bryan Lazzaro v. Guidance Software, Inc., et al. The complaints name as defendants Guidance, its directors, OpenText and Purchaser. The complaints generally allege that Guidance and its directors violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose certain material information in the Schedule 14D-9. The complaints also allege that the omissions constitute violations of federal securities laws by OpenText and Purchaser. The complaints seek, among other things, injunctive relief preventing the consummation of the Merger; rescission of the Merger or an award of rescissory damages in the event it is consummated; directing of Guidance’s directors to file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement that does not contain any untrue statements of material fact and that states all material facts required in it or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading; a declaratory judgment that defendants violated Sections 14(e), 14(d), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder; and an award of plaintiffs’ expenses including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. The defendants believe that the claims respectively asserted against them are without merit.”
