Verint Systems Inc.
Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed December 23, 2010
File No. 333-169025 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The following sets forth the responses of Verint Systems Inc. (Verint, we, us, our or
the Company) to the comment letter, dated January 4, 2011, of the staff of the Division of
Corporation Finance (the Staff). For your convenience, we have included the Staffs comments in
the body of this letter and have provided the Companys responses thereto immediately following
each comment. This letter is being filed with Amendment No. 4 (the Amended Registration
Statement) to the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the Registration
Statement).
Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules
Exhibit 5.1
1. The legality opinion refers to the resale by a selling stockholder of up to 2,800,000
shares, whereas the registration statement now covers a total of 2,500,000 shares. Please revise
as necessary or advise.
We have revised the Amended Registration Statement and will be filing as an exhibit to the
Amended Registration Statement the legality opinion, so that each of the Amended Registration
Statement, the preliminary prospectus contained therein and the legality opinion cover a total of
2,300,000 shares.

Signatures
2. We note that Mr. Burdick is listed as a signatory to Amendment Nos. 2 and 3 to the Form
S-1 and that the power of attorney has been invoked with respect to Mr. Burdicks signature in both
cases. Since Mr. Burdick does not appear to be a signatory to the Power of Attorney filed as
Exhibit 24.1 with your initial filing, it is unclear that Mr. Burdick has provided a conforming
signature to the registration statement. Accordingly, please advise or revise.
The Company believes that Mr. Burdick executed a power of attorney in connection with the
filing of Amendment No. 2, which amendment was approved by the Board of Directors including Mr.
Burdick, however, the Company has not been able to locate it. As a result, Mr. Burdick has
re-executed a power of attorney that will be filed as Exhibit 24.3 to the Amended Registration
Statement.

We hope that the foregoing is responsive to your comments. If you have any questions with
respect to this letter, please contact the undersigned at (212) 326-3452.
