**	The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Exchange Act and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for fiscal year 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001159.

This Amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on August 15, 2017, Amendment No. 2 filed on August 21, 2017, Amendment No. 3 filed on August 22, 2017, Amendment No. 4 filed on August 29, 2017, Amendment No. 5 filed on September 1, 2017 and Amendment No. 6 filed on September 7, 2017, 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 any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, including 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”).

“Consummation of the Offer and the Merger.

On Thursday, September 14, 2017, OpenText announced the expiration of the Offer at 12:00 midnight, Eastern time. The Depositary for the Offer has advised OpenText and Purchaser that immediately prior to the Expiration Time on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 there were validly tendered and not withdrawn (and excluding any Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received” (as defined in Section 251(h)(6)(f) of the DGCL)), a total of 25,275,699 Shares. The validly tendered Shares, together with the Shares owned by Purchaser, OpenText and controlled affiliates, represent approximately 76.7% of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Time. In addition, notices of guaranteed delivery have been delivered with respect to 539,639 Shares. The number of Shares tendered into the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition immediately prior to the Expiration Time. All conditions to the Offer have been satisfied. Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time.

On September 14, 2017, following the expiration of the Offer and acceptance for payment of the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, OpenText completed its acquisition of Guidance pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser merged with and into Guidance, with Guidance surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OpenText, without a stockholder vote to adopt the Merger Agreement or effect the Merger in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL. As a result of the Merger, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash, without interest, and net of applicable withholding of taxes (which is the same amount per Share that will be paid in the Offer), other than Shares held by OpenText or Guidance, or by any wholly-owned subsidiary of OpenText (including Purchaser) or Guidance, or held by stockholders who properly exercised appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL or Shares irrevocably accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Shares ceased trading on the Nasdaq prior to market open on September 14, 2017.

The full text of the press release issued by OpenText on September 14, 2017 in connection with the expiration of the Offer and the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
