Item 2.01.                                        Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On February 4, 2013, the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) of Comverse Technology, Inc. (“CTI”) with and into a wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) of Verint Systems Inc. (“Verint”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and CTI ceasing to exist as a separate entity, was consummated.  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 12, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CTI, Verint and Merger Sub, each share of CTI common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive new shares of Verint common stock at an exchange ratio of 0.1298 shares of Verint common stock for each share of CTI common stock.  In addition, the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock of Verint (“Verint preferred stock”) and all shares of Verint common stock held by CTI immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were canceled.

 

At a special meeting of stockholders held on February 4, 2013, Verint stockholders voted to adopt the Merger Agreement and to approve the transactions contemplated by that agreement, including the Merger and the issuance of Verint common stock to CTI shareholders in connection therewith.  At a special meeting of shareholders held on February 4, 2013 (the “CTI special meeting”), CTI shareholders voted to adopt the Merger Agreement and to approve the transactions contemplated by that agreement, including the Merger.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 to CTI’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 13, 2012 and incorporated in this Item 2.01 by reference.

 

Item 3.01.                                        Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

In connection with consummation of the Merger on February 4, 2013, CTI notified the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Merger has been consummated and requested that trading of CTI common stock on Nasdaq be suspended.  In addition, an application on Form 25 has been filed with the SEC to remove CTI common stock from listing on Nasdaq and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  CTI also intends to file a certification on Form 15 requesting that its reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be terminated.

 

Item 3.03.                                        Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of CTI common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive new shares of Verint common stock at an exchange ratio of 0.1298 shares of Verint common stock for each share of CTI common stock.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all CTI stock options that were outstanding 20 business days prior to the effective time of the Merger became fully vested and exercisable, and each holder of those stock options was given an opportunity to exercise those stock options until three business days prior to the effective time of the Merger.  In addition,

immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, any holders of CTI stock options that remained outstanding were entitled to receive from CTI the cash value of the merger consideration that they would have received for the shares of CTI common stock underlying such options (had such options been exercised), less the exercise price of such options (to the extent such difference is greater than zero).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to any applicable deferral provisions, any CTI stock-settled restricted or deferred stock units vested immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, and holders of those units became entitled to receive the merger consideration as if such units had been exchanged for shares of Verint common stock.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to any applicable deferral provisions, any CTI cash-settled restricted or deferred stock units vested immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, and holders of those units became entitled to receive from CTI the cash value of the merger consideration that they would have received for such units had they been exchanged for shares of Verint common stock.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 to CTI’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 13, 2012 and incorporated in this Item 3.03 by reference.

 

Item 5.01.                                        Changes in Control of Registrant.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Merger on February 4, 2013, a change in control of CTI occurred and CTI merged with and into Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Verint, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and CTI ceasing to exist as a separate entity.  The aggregate consideration to be paid by Verint to former CTI shareholders in connection with the Merger will be approximately 28.6 million shares of Verint common stock.  See Items 2.01 and 3.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.
