EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

On June 5, 2000, Captaris, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-38570) (the “Registration Statement”), which registered 1,500,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”) issuable under the terms of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (formerly known as the Captaris, Inc. 1989 Restated Stock Option Plan, and formerly known as the AVT Corporation 1989 Restated Stock Option Plan), and those shares of the Company Common Stock issuable under the terms of the Stock Purchase Loan Plan.

On September 3, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Open Text, Inc. (“Open Text”), Open Text Corporation, and Oasis Merger Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Open Text. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Oasis Merger Corp. would merge into the Company, and as a result the Company would become 100% owned by Open Text (the “Merger”).

On October 31, 2008, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders at which the Company’s shareholders approved the Merger Agreement. The Merger became effective on October 31, 2008, upon the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington.

The offering contemplated by the Registration Statement has terminated. Pursuant to the undertakings contained in Part II, Item 9 of the Registration Statement, the Company is removing from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement (the “Post-Effective Amendment No. 1”), any securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold at the termination of the offering.
