Verint Receives Notification From Nasdaq Due to Late Filing of Form 10-Q
June 16 2006 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Verint Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNT) ("Verint" or the "Company")
today announced that the Company received a letter on June 13, 2006
from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company's failure
to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 30, 2006
on the required date could serve as an additional basis for the
delisting of Verint's securities from Nasdaq, under Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14)
requires the Company to make on a timely basis all filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as required by the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Verint did not file its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2006 on
the required filing date for the reasons previously announced by
Verint relating to the ongoing investigation by a special committee
of the Board of Directors of Comverse Technology, Inc.
("Comverse"), the 57% stockholder of Verint, of Comverse's stock
option practices and its preliminary conclusion that the actual
dates of measurement for certain past awards granted by Comverse
differed from the recorded grant dates for such awards, and the
potential impact of such stock option practices on Verint's
Financial Statements. As previously disclosed by Verint, due to the
delay in the filing of Verint's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, as well as Verint's failure to
file a Current Report on Form 8-K/A, which would have amended the
Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 9, 2006 to include the
financial information required by Form 8-K in connection with the
January 9, 2006 acquisition by Verint of MultiVision Intelligence
Surveillance Limited's networked video security business, Verint
had received a Staff Determination Letter from The Nasdaq Stock
Market indicating that Verint's securities were subject to
delisting, unless Verint requested a hearing before the Nasdaq
Listing Qualifications Panel. Verint requested a hearing and
presented its plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq's filing
requirement at an in-person hearing before the Nasdaq Panel. The
Nasdaq Panel has not yet issued a decision as a result of that
hearing. Verint intends to submit to the Nasdaq Panel, within the
permissible timeframe, its plan to file the Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended April 30, 2006. It is expected that the
Nasdaq Panel's hearing decision will address the late Form 8-K, the
late Form 10-K and late Form 10-Q filings referenced above.
However, there can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Panel will grant
Verint's request for continued listing on Nasdaq. About Verint
