- Asset sold: Vertica, identified by Open Text as part of its non‑core Analytics portfolio.
Why It Matters
- The sale removes Vertica from Open Text’s non‑core Analytics holdings and generates $150M of cash proceeds (subject to adjustments), which will affect the company’s asset mix and cash position.
