Guidance Software, Inc. ("Guidance" or the Company) is an American company that offers software solutions for digital investigations primarily in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia/Pacific Rim.

According to the Complaint, on July 25, 2017, Guidance’s Board of Directors caused the Company to enter into an agreement and plan of merger with Open Text.

On August 8, 2017, Defendants filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement (the “Solicitation Statement”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The Complaint alleges the Solicitation Statement omits material information with respect to the Proposed Transaction, which renders the Solicitation Statement false and misleading.

On September 20, 2017, this case was voluntarily dismissed pursuant to a Stipulation by the parties.
