ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

In connection with an ongoing informal inquiry by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") into issues regarding past stock option grants by
Comverse Technology, Inc. ("Comverse"), the 57% stockholder of Verint, SEC Staff
has sent a letter to Verint requesting that Verint voluntarily provide certain
documents and information related to Verint's stock option grants and practices.
In the letter, the SEC noted that its request should not be construed as an
indication by SEC Staff that any violations of law have occurred, or as an
adverse reflection upon any person or security. Verint is voluntarily responding
to this request and intends to fully cooperate with SEC Staff.
