On May 29, 2019, Verint Systems Inc. made available through its Investor Relations website (http://www.verint.com) a webcast of its first quarter fiscal 2020 earnings conference call. The following is an excerpt from the transcript of the webcast:
* * * *
Dan Bodner, CEO: I would also like to say that given the success of our growth strategy, our strong performance, and the value we are creating for our shareholders, we believe the proxy contest is entirely unwarranted. As our strategy has unfolded, we have provided new disclosure to help investors better understand the changes in our business, and as our track record clearly shows, we have an ongoing practice of board refreshment. I would like to thank our shareholders for the support we are receiving from them and we encourage our shareholders to vote for all Verint nominees on the white proxy card. That is all we’ll have to say on the proxy fight on today’s call, including during the Q&A portion of the call, as we want to focus on our very strong performance.
