By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause our actual results or conditions 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 conditions to differ materially from our forward-looking statements include, among others:

·                  risks due to aggressive competition in all of our markets, including with respect to maintaining margins and sufficient levels of investment in our business;

 

·                  risks created by the continued consolidation of our competitors or the introduction of large competitors in our markets with greater resources than we have;

 

·                  risks associated with our ability to successfully compete for, consummate, and implement mergers and acquisitions, including risks associated with capital constraints, costs and expenses, maintaining profitability levels, management distraction, post-acquisition integration activities, and potential asset impairments;

 

·                  risks that we may be unable to maintain and enhance relationships with key resellers, partners, and systems integrators;

 

·                  risks relating to our ability to effectively and efficiently execute on our growth strategy, including managing investment in our business and operations and enhancing and securing our internal and external operations;

 

·                  risks relating to our ability to successfully implement and maintain adequate systems and internal controls for our current and future operations and reporting needs and related risks of financial statement omissions, misstatements, restatements, or filing delays;

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.

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, 2012 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended thereafter, 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 Related To Our Common Stock

 

We do not plan to 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 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 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;

 

·                  the success of competitive service offerings or technologies;

 

·                  the timing of announcements in the public market regarding new products, product enhancements or technological advances by our competitors or us;

 

·                  any announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, major transactions, or management changes;

 

·                  speculation in the press and the analyst community, including with respect to Comverse’s strategic plans;

 

·                  announcements relating to Comverse’s strategic plans;

 

5

Table of Contents

 

·                  changes in recommendations or earnings estimates by financial analysts;

 

·                  changes in investors’ or analysts’ valuation measures for our stock;

 

·                  our credit ratings;

 

·                  market trends unrelated to our performance;

 

·                  stock sales by Comverse or our directors, officers, or other significant holders;

 

·                  developments related to investigations, proceedings, or litigation that involve us;

 

·                  regulatory developments; and

 

·                  developments related to the industries in which we compete.

 

A significant drop in our stock price could also expose us to the risk of securities class action lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business.

 

Unless there is an active trading market for our common stock, you may have difficulty selling any shares 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.

 

Sales or potential sales of our common stock by us or our significant stockholders may cause the market price of our common stock to 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.  As of May 31, 2012, we had 39.2 million shares of common stock outstanding.  In addition, as of that date, approximately 3.8 million shares of our common stock (including the 297,150 shares included in this prospectus, which were acquired by the selling stockholders on June 10, 2012) 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.  Additional shares of common stock are also available to be granted under our existing equity plans or may be granted under future equity plans.  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 holdings in Verint.  As of April 30, 2012, the preferred stock was convertible into approximately 10.9 million shares of our common stock.  Stock sales by Comverse or our directors, officers, or other significant holders may affect our stock price.

 

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, as defined in our credit agreement, the lenders under our credit facility 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

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 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL, permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his 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 Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.  Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that none of our directors shall be personally liable to Verint or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Verint or its stockholders, or (ii) for acts or omissions which are not taken or omitted to be taken in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, or (iii) for any matter in respect of which such director shall be liable under Section 174 of Title 8 of the DGCL or any amendment or successor provision thereto, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director shall have derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with

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 Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s 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
