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.”
