Item 8.01 Other Events.
On February 1, 2021, Verint Systems Inc. (the “Company”) completed the spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of Cognyte Software Ltd. (“Cognyte”), a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. The Spin-Off was completed by way of a pro rata distribution on February 1, 2021 of all of the then-issued and outstanding ordinary shares, no par value, of Cognyte (the “Cognyte shares”) to holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on January 25, 2021.
In connection with the Spin-Off, the conversion rate of the Company’s 1.50% senior convertible notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) has been adjusted to 24.6622 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted. The conversion rate adjustment is based on the average closing prices of the Company’s common stock and the Cognyte shares over the ten consecutive trading day period that ended on February 16, 2021. Prior to the Spin-Off, the conversion rate for the Notes was 15.5129 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted.
