Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 17, 2025, the Board of Directors of Teradata Corporation (the “Company”) approved a new stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock. The Repurchase Program will become effective on January 1, 2026, does not have an expiration date, and will continue until otherwise modified, suspended, or terminated. The purchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, in accordance with applicable securities law and other regulatory requirements. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares under the authorization and the timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the price of the Company’s common stock, general business and market conditions, and other investment considerations.
The Company’s existing stock repurchase program, which had approximately $242.7 million of repurchase authorization remaining as of November 7, 2025, will expire on December 31, 2025 and be replaced in its entirety by the Repurchase Program. The Company also maintains a dilution offset program under which the Company repurchases shares in the open market to offset shares purchased by employees from the Company under various employee benefit plans and that program will remain in place without any changes.
