REOFFER PROSPECTUS
VERINT SYSTEMS INC.
1,813,134 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, of up to 1,813,134 shares of our
common stock, $0.001 par value per share, by the selling stockholders listed in this prospectus.
The selling stockholders acquired such shares pursuant to grants made under (1) the Verint Systems
Inc. Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended; (2) the Verint Systems Inc. 2004 Stock
Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended; or (3) the Witness Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated
Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. The Verint Systems Inc. Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as
amended; the Verint Systems Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended; and the
Witness Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, are collectively
referred to in this prospectus as the Plans.
We will not receive any proceeds from sales of the shares of our common stock covered by this
prospectus by any of the selling stockholders. The shares may be offered, from time to time, by
any or all of the selling stockholders through ordinary brokerage transactions, in negotiated
transactions or in other transactions, at such prices as he, she or they may determine, which may
relate to market prices prevailing at the time of sale or be a negotiated price. See Plan of
Distribution. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of
the shares. Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the offer
or sale of the shares will be borne by the selling stockholders.
Each selling stockholder and any broker executing selling orders on behalf of a selling
stockholder may be deemed to be an underwriter as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Act. If any broker-dealers are used to effect sales, any commissions
paid to broker-dealers and, if broker-dealers purchase any of the shares of common stock covered by
this prospectus as principals, any profits received by such broker-dealers on the resales of shares
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. In addition,
any profits realized by the selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.
Shares of our common stock are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol VRNT. On
July 6, 2010, the last reported sale price of our common stock
was $23.80 per share.
Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See Risk Factors on
page 4 of this prospectus and the other risk factors set forth in our periodic and other filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including those set forth in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010, for a discussion of certain factors
that should carefully be considered by prospective purchasers.
Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these
securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offense.
This
prospectus is dated July 7, 2010.

Exchange Act (which Sections were adopted as part of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995). Forward-looking statements include financial projections, statements of plans and

assumptions relating thereto. Forward-looking statements are often identified by future or
conditional words such as will, plans, expects, intends, believes, seeks, estimates
or anticipates, by variations of such words or by similar expressions. There can be no assurances
that forward-looking statements will be achieved. By their very nature, forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our
actual results or performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our
actual results or performance to differ materially from our forward-looking statements include, among others:

distractions, and significant expense; |

or Form 10-QSB since December 12, 2005; |
|
|
|
risk that our credit rating could be downgraded or placed on a credit watch
based on, among other things, our financial results, delays in the filing of our
periodic reports, or the results of the SECs administrative proceeding; |

|
|
risks associated with being a consolidated, controlled subsidiary of Comverse
Technology, Inc., or Comverse, and formerly part of Comverses consolidated tax

uncertainty regarding the impact of general economic conditions, particularly in
information technology spending, on our business; |
|

of future SEC reports could cause us not to be compliant with the financial
statement delivery covenant under our credit facility; |
|
|
|
risk that customers or partners delay or cancel orders or are unable to honor
contractual commitments due to liquidity issues, challenges in their business or
otherwise; |

risk that financing sources will be unavailable to us on reasonable terms or at
all; |

weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting and relating to the
proper application of highly complex accounting rules and pronouncements in order

prospectus and the other risk factors set forth in our periodic and other filings with the SEC,
including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31,
2010, for a discussion of these and other risks that relate to our business and an investment in
shares of our common stock. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which reflect our managements view only as of the date of such statements.
We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect
events or circumstances after the date any such statement is made, except as otherwise required
under the federal securities laws. If we were in any particular instance to update or correct a
forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that we would make additional
updates or corrections thereafter except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
review the risks described below and the other risk factors set forth in our periodic and other
filings with the SEC, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended January 31, 2010, together with the other information contained in and incorporated by
reference into this prospectus, before making an investment decision. Our business, results of
operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected due to any of these
risks. The trading price of our shares could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose
all or part of your investment. Some risk factors in this section are forward-looking
statements. See Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements.
Risks Relating To Our Common Stock
We may not pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
We intend to retain our earnings to support the development and expansion of our business, to
repay debt and for other corporate purposes and, as a result, we do not plan to pay cash dividends
on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the
discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our
financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit
facility or other restrictive debt agreements that we may be a party to at the time or senior
securities we may have issued. Our current credit facility limits us from paying cash dividends or
other payments or distributions with respect to our capital stock. In addition, the terms of any
future facility or other restrictive debt credit agreement may contain similar restrictions on our
ability to pay any dividends or make any distributions or payments with respect to our capital
stock. In addition, holders of our outstanding preferred stock are entitled to cumulative dividends
before any dividends may be declared or set aside on our common stock.
Furthermore, our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders is subject to the restrictions
set forth under Delaware law. We cannot assure you that we will meet the criteria specified under
Delaware law in the future, in which case we may not be able to pay dividends on our common stock
even if we were to choose to do so.
The price of our common stock fluctuates significantly, and this may make it difficult for you
to resell the common stock when you want to or at prices you find attractive.
There has been significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of equity
securities, including our common stock, some of which is unrelated to the financial performance of
the companies issuing the securities. The price for the shares of common stock being sold under
this prospectus may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following your
purchase of such shares. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid
due to fluctuations in the market price of our common stock caused by changes in our operating
performance or prospects and other factors.
Some specific factors that may have a significant effect on our common stock market price
include:
|
|
|
actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating and financial
results; |
|
|
|
developments related to investigations, proceedings or litigation that involve
us; |
|
|
|
changes in financial estimates and recommendations by financial analysts; |
|
|
|
dispositions, acquisitions, and financings; |
|
|
|
actions of our current stockholders, including sales of our common stock by
existing stockholders and our directors and executive officers; |
|
|
|
success of competitive service offerings or technologies; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors; |
|
|
|
investors general perception of us; |
4
|
|
|
regulatory developments; and |
|
|
|
developments related to the industries in which we compete. |
Because our common stock has only been re-listed on the NASDAQ Global Market since July 6,
2010, we cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the
development of an active trading market on the NASDAQ Global Market or otherwise or how liquid that
market might become. Unless there is an active trading market for our common stock, you may have
difficulty selling any of our common stock that you purchase. Consequently, you may not be able to
sell our common stock at prices equal to or greater than the price you paid.
If we or our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock following the sale of the
shares of common stock being sold under this prospectus, the market price of our common stock
may decline.
We are not restricted from issuing additional shares of common stock, including shares
issuable pursuant to securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent
the right to receive, common stock. Sales of shares of our common stock in the public market
following the sale of the shares of common stock being sold under this prospectus, or the
perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
We had 33,042,345 shares of common stock outstanding as of
June 30, 2010. In addition, at June 30, 2010, 8,916,086
shares of our common stock (including 1,269,894 of the shares included in this prospectus
which were acquired by the selling stockholders on July 2, 2010
and July 6, 2010) were issuable pursuant to outstanding stock
options and awards which had
not yet vested or which had been previously acquired upon vesting but had not yet been delivered.
Moreover, if it were convertible at June 30, 2010, our outstanding preferred stock could be
converted into 10,072,966 shares of our common stock. Additional shares of common stock underlying
options and restricted stock units available to be granted in the
future will become available for sale in the public market.
In addition,
under two registration rights agreements that we entered into with Comverse,
Comverse has registration rights, with respect to its common stock and preferred stock,
and future offerings of our common stock could result in sales
of significant amounts of our common stock.
Anti-takeover provisions in Delaware corporate law may make it difficult for our stockholders to
replace or remove our current board of directors and could deter or delay third-parties from
acquiring us, which may adversely affect the marketability and market price of our common stock.
We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an interested stockholder, we may not
enter into a business combination with that person for three years without special approval,
which could discourage a third party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a
change of control. For purposes of Section 203, interested stockholder means, generally, someone
owning more than 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or an affiliate of ours that owned 15%
or more of our outstanding voting stock during the past three years, subject to certain exceptions
as described in Section 203.
Under any change of control, the lenders under our credit facilities would have the right to
require us to repay all of our outstanding obligations under the facility. Upon the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change, as defined by the Certificate of Designation setting forth the terms of the
preferred stock, and which includes a change of control, the holders of our preferred stock have
the right to require us to repurchase their shares of preferred stock at the then current
liquidation preference (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Certificate of Designation).
Holders of our preferred stock have liquidation and other rights that are senior to the rights
of the holders of our common stock.
Our board of directors has the authority to designate and issue preferred stock that may have
dividend, liquidation and other rights that are senior to those of our common stock. As of date of
this prospectus, 293,000 shares of our preferred stock have been issued and are outstanding.
Holders of our preferred stock are entitled to cumulative dividends before any dividends may be
declared or set aside on our common stock. Upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, before any payment is made to holders of our common stock,
holders of our preferred stock are entitled to receive an initial liquidation preference of
$1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. This will reduce the remaining amount of
our assets, if any, available to distribute to holders of our common stock.
5
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from sales of the shares of our common stock covered by this
prospectus by any of the selling stockholders. The proceeds from the sale of the common stock
covered by this prospectus are solely for the accounts of the selling stockholders.
We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares.
Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the offer or sale of
the shares will be borne by the selling stockholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock previously issued pursuant to the Plans
to certain of our officers, directors and employees that are being registered for resale. All of
the shares of common stock that may be resold pursuant to this prospectus were previously acquired
by the selling stockholders upon the satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions relating to
certain equity awards (i.e., the re-listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market
and/or the passage of time).
The selling stockholders may resell any or all of such shares of common stock at any time they
choose while this prospectus is effective. The inclusion in this prospectus of the officers,
directors and employees named below who have acquired shares of our common stock under the Plans
shall not be deemed to be an admission that any such individual is an affiliate of ours. There
is no assurance that any of the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares of common
stock covered by this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders have not advised us of any specific plan for the sale or distribution
of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. If and when they occur, such sales may be
made in any of the following manners:
|
|
|
On the NASDAQ Global Market (or through the facilities of any national
securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national
securities association on which shares of our common stock are then listed,
admitted to unlisted trading privileges or included for quotation); |
|
|
|
in public or privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
in transactions involving principals or brokers; |
|
|
|
in a combination of such methods of sale; or |
|
|
|
any other lawful methods. |
Although sales of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus are, in general,
expected to be made at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, the shares may also be sold at
prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, which may differ
considerably.
When offering the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, each of the selling
stockholders and any broker-dealers who sell the shares for the selling stockholders may be
underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profits realized by such selling
stockholders and the compensation of such broker-dealers may be underwriting discounts and
commissions.
Sales through brokers may be made by any method of trading authorized by any stock exchange or
market on which our common stock may be listed, including block trading in negotiated transactions.
Without limiting the foregoing, such brokers may act as dealers by purchasing any or all of the
shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, either as agents for others or as principals for
their own accounts, and reselling such shares pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders
may effect such transactions directly, or indirectly through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents
acting on their behalf. In connection with such sales, such broker-dealers or agents may receive
compensation in the form of commissions, concessions, allowances or discounts, any or all of which
might be in excess of customary amounts.
Each of the selling stockholders is acting independently of us in making decisions with
respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of shares. We have not been advised of any
definitive selling arrangement at the date of this prospectus between any selling stockholder and
any broker-dealer or agent.
To the extent required, the names of any agents, broker-dealers or underwriters and applicable
commissions, concessions, allowances or discounts, and any other required information with respect
to any particular offer of the shares by the selling stockholders, will be set forth in a
prospectus supplement.
The expenses of preparing and filing this prospectus and the related registration statement
with the SEC will be paid entirely by us. The selling stockholders have been advised that they are
subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, including without limitation Rule 10b-5
thereunder.
Neither we nor the selling stockholders can currently estimate the amount of commissions or
discounts, if any, that will be paid by the selling stockholders on account of their sales of the
shares from time to time.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL) allows a corporation to
eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the
director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional
misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock
repurchase in violation of the DGCL or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that the Company may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding other than an action by or in the right of the Company, by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of the Company,
or is or was serving at the Companys request as a director, officer, agent or employee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including
attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acting in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to
the best interest, of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to
actions brought by or in the right of the Company as well, but only to the extent of defense
expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit, and with the further limitation that in such actions
no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which any person
shall have been adjudged liable to the Company, unless the court believes that in light of all the
circumstances indemnification should apply. Furthermore, under the DGCL, if such person is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.
II-1
Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or
negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful purchase or redemption of
stock, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful
actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent
to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of
directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives
notice of the unlawful acts.
The above is a general summary of certain indemnity provisions of the DGCL and is subject, in
all cases, to the specific and detailed provisions of the Sections referenced herein.
As permitted by the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation includes a provision to eliminate
the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their
fiduciary duties as directors, subject to limited exceptions. Our certificate of incorporation also
provides that every person who is or was our director, officer, employee or agent or is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise, serving as such at our request, shall
be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law for all expenses and liabilities actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding involving such person in this capacity. The
Company has also entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and officers under
which the Company agreed to provide indemnification and expense reimbursement as outlined above.
The Company has agreed to indemnify Comverse Technology, Inc. (Comverse) and its directors,
officers, employees and agents against any liabilities arising out of any claim that any provision
of the business opportunities agreement, entered into by the Company and Comverse, breaches any
duty that may be owed to the Company by Comverse or any such person.
The Company has provided directors and officers liability insurance coverage for the
Companys officers and directors since 2006. Previously, Comverse obtained directors and
officers liability insurance which also provided coverage for the Companys officers and directors
under a Corporate Services Agreement entered into by the Company and Comverse.
Each of the Companys directors who is also a director and/or officer of Comverse has an
indemnification agreement with Comverse. Under this agreement Comverse has agreed to indemnify
such person against losses and expenses, to the extent permitted by law, incurred by such person in
connection with his service as director and/or officer of Comverse or any of its subsidiaries,
including the Company.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
As previously disclosed, as a result of the Companys inability to file required reports with
the Commission during the Companys extended filing delay
period, the Company previously ceased using its
existing registration statements on Form S-8 to make equity grants to employees. On May 24, 2007,
the Company received a no-action letter from the Commission upon which the Company relied to make
broad-based equity grants to employees under a no-sale theory. The Company has also made equity
grants to directors, executive officers and certain other non-officer executives who qualify as
accredited investors in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D of
the Securities Act of 1933. All of the shares of common stock that may be offered pursuant to this
registration statement were acquired by the selling stockholders upon the
grant of restricted stock pursuant to an applicable private placement exemption or the
vesting of equity awards
issued pursuant to the no-sale theory or an applicable private placement exemption.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such
information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this registration statement will be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registration Statement on Form S-8 Filed by Verint Systems Inc. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Verint Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), in
connection with the resale by certain selling stockholders of (i) 157,086 restricted shares (the
Equity Incentive Plan Shares) of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock),
granted pursuant to the Verint Systems Inc. Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the Equity Incentive Plan), (ii)
1,250,024 restricted shares (the 2004 Plan Shares) of the Companys Common Stock granted
pursuant to the Verint Systems Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the 2004 Plan), and (iii)
406,024 restricted shares (the Witness Plan Shares and, together with the Equity Incentive Plan Shares and
the 2004 Plan Shares, the Shares) of the Companys Common Stock granted pursuant to the Witness
Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the Witness Plan and, together with the Equity Incentive Plan and
the 2004 Plan, the Plans).
In connection with the opinion expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and
matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based on the
foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein,
we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and
are, or will be when issued and delivered in accordance with the Plans and the applicable
award agreements, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The opinion expressed herein is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported
judicial decisions interpreting such law, in each case as currently in effect, and we express no
opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement
on Form S-8 filed by the Company to effect registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of
1933 (the Act). In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
