As used in this Agreement, the terms “Affiliate” and “Associate” will have the respective meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) and will include all persons or entities that, subsequent to the Effective Date, become Affiliates or Associates of any person or entity referred to in this Agreement.

(e)    The Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee of the Board will work in good faith to identify for the Board, and the Board will work in good faith to appoint, an additional director (the “Additional Director”) to the Board who has substantial experience as a senior operating executive in the software industry, preferably with experience in cloud transitions, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof but in any event prior to December 31, 2019.

(ii)    form, join or in any way participate in any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), with respect to the securities of the Company (other than a “group” that consists exclusively of the persons identified on Exhibit A for purposes consistent with this Agreement), except that nothing in this Agreement will limit the ability of an Affiliate or Associate of NB to join the NB “group” following the execution of this Agreement, so long as any such Affiliate or Associate has executed and delivered to the Company a written joinder agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

(v)    (A) initiate, encourage or participate in any proposal (pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or otherwise) for consideration by stockholders at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company or through any referendum of stockholders of the Company, (B) initiate, encourage or participate in any offer, proposal or transaction (with or without conditions) with respect to a merger, takeover offer, acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring, disposition or other business combination involving the Company or (C) solicit a third party to make an offer or proposal with respect to any merger, takeover offer, acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring, disposition or other business combination involving the Company or encourage or support any third party in making such an offer or proposal;

Verint and Neuberger Berman Announce Resolution of Proxy Contest

Neuberger Berman Has Withdrawn Its Nomination of Directors in Connection with Verint’s

Commitments and New Disclosures

MELVILLE, N.Y. and NEW YORK, N.Y. – June 6, 2019 – Verint^® Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNT) and Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC and certain of its affiliates (“Neuberger Berman”) today announced that, following constructive discussions about Verint’s enhanced disclosures and commitments to shareholders outlined below, Neuberger Berman has agreed to withdraw its nominations of three directors to Verint’s Board of Directors.

Jack Egan, Verint’s Lead Independent Director, said, “Our engagement with Neuberger Berman has resulted in a better understanding between us. The Board is committed to continued acceleration of performance as well as regular Board refreshment. We are targeting senior industry executives who have relevant skills and a track record of shareholder value creation. We will be adding a new director this year with operating experience in the software industry, preferably with experience in cloud transitions. We are open to input from all of our shareholders, including Neuberger Berman, for candidates with appropriate qualifications.”

Benjamin Nahum, Managing Director at Neuberger Berman, stated, “We appreciate our engagement with Verint and the progress we have made together. We are supportive of the Company’s strategic direction and leadership team and believe that Verint’s commitment to providing shareholders with enhanced disclosures will ultimately help investors see the strong momentum driving the Company’s long-term value opportunities.”

Dan Bodner, Verint Chairman and CEO, added, “As our business transforms, we continue to evolve our disclosure. In our most recent investor communications, Verint provided shareholders with long-term targets and new cloud metrics, as well as discussed recent acquisitions and our capital allocation plan. We intend to continue to evolve our disclosure including enhanced segment reporting, industry standard cloud metrics and information to assist investors to understand our organic growth. We continue to be committed to refinancing our convertible notes, and do not plan to settle them with shares. We appreciate our constructive dialogue with Neuberger Berman and believe Verint is well positioned for continued success with strong innovation, dedicated employees and world class customers and partners.”

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as financial advisor and Jones Day is acting as legal advisor to Verint.

Neuberger Berman will not be submitting GOLD Proxy Cards for tabulation for the 2019 Annual Meeting and encourages stockholders to submit a WHITE proxy card in support of the Board’s recommendations on each proposal.
