Item 1.01		Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Credit Facility

On April 29, 2011 (the “Closing Date ”), Verint Systems Inc. (the “Company”) (i) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with, among others, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacities, the “Agent”) and (ii) terminated that certain credit agreement dated May 25, 2007 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Prior Facility”) with, among others, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Prior Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, as successor administrative agent for the Prior Lenders.

The Credit Agreement provides for $770 million of secured senior credit facilities, comprised of a $600 million term loan under a six and a half-year term loan facility (maturing October 2017) (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $170 million five-year revolving credit facility (maturing April 2016) (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), subject to increase (up to a maximum increase of $300 million) and reduction from time to time according to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed until the maturity date thereof. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the Term Loan Facility may not be reborrowed. As of the Closing Date, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, payable quarterly or, in the case of Eurodollar loans with an interest period of three months or shorter, at the end of any interest period, at a per annum rate of, at the Company’s election:

(a) in the case of Eurodollar loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 3.25% (or if the Company’s corporate ratings are at least BB- and Ba3 or better, 3.00%). The “Adjusted LIBO Rate” is the greater of (i) 1.25% per annum and (ii) the product of (x) the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (y) Statutory Reserves (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and

(b) in the case of Base Rate loans, the Base Rate plus 2.25% (or if the Company’s corporate ratings are at least BB- and Ba3 or better, 2.00%). The “Base Rate” is the greatest of (i) the Agent’s prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month interest period plus 1.00%.

The Company has agreed to pay a commitment fee with respect to undrawn availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly, at a rate of 0.50% per annum, and customary administrative agent fees and fees in respect of letters of credit.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed, substantially similar to the Prior Facility, by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, and secured, substantially similar to the Prior Facility, by a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Credit Agreement and related ancillary documentation.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type substantially similar to those in the Prior Facility, including limitations on the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, nature of business, investments and loans, distributions, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, sale-leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) leverage ratio until July 31, 2013 of less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 and thereafter of 4.50 to 1.00. The limitations imposed by the covenants are subject to certain important exceptions detailed in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods substantially similar to those in the Prior Facility, including failure to pay principal or interest under the Credit Agreement when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by the Company proving to be inaccurate in any material respect, defaults under certain other indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries, a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company, and certain insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company or its significant subsidiaries. Upon an event of default, all obligations of the Company owing under the Credit Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable, and the Lenders’ commitments to make loans under the Credit Agreement may be terminated.

Certain of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement, and their respective affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform for the Company and its subsidiaries, various commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting and other financial advisory services, for which they have received, or may receive, customary fees and expense reimbursements.
