Press Release

Verint to Provide Selected Unaudited Financial Information on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 After Market Close

Comprehensive 10-K Filing Delayed

MELVILLE, N.Y., January 28, 2010 Verint® Systems Inc. (VRNT.PK) today announced that it will be providing selected unaudited financial information on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 after market close for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Update on Financial Filings
The Company is now substantially complete with its Comprehensive 10-K document for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, and had expected to file it this week.  However, the Company is currently not in a position to file its Comprehensive 10-K because of an unexpected recent change in the allocation of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) it received from Comverse Technology, Inc. (“Comverse”), its majority stockholder, for the year ended January 31, 2003 and earlier years (i.e., prior to Verint’s initial public offering).

To the extent that the Comverse NOLs would require further modification, the portion allocated to Verint may also be modified. Certain other changes at Comverse could also affect Verint. Therefore, while Verint is substantially complete with its Comprehensive 10-K, it will only be in a position to file after receiving the necessary information from Comverse.

“We look forward to providing selected unaudited financial information next week, and completing our filings as soon as possible,” said Dan Bodner, Verint’s CEO and President.
