On November 16, 2011, each of Mr. Raz Alon and Mr. Joseph O’Donnell tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Comverse Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) following the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2011 Annual Meeting”). Each of Messrs. Alon and O’Donnell did not receive a majority of votes cast as required by the Company’s By-Laws and, in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and Principles, tendered his resignation from the Board. In accepting the resignations, the Board expressed its appreciation of the commitment and dedication that Messrs. Alon and O’Donnell exhibited in navigating the Company and its business through a challenging period.

Under the Company’s By-Laws, a “majority of votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director.

Also on November 16, 2011, following the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Board reduced the size of the entire Board to six directors.

At the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Comverse Technology, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Incentive Plan”) and the Comverse Technology, Inc. 2011 Annual Performance Bonus Plan (the “2011 Bonus Plan”).

Summaries of the material terms and conditions of the 2011 Incentive Plan and the 2011 Bonus Plan are set forth in Proposals 5 and 6, respectively, of the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2011 (the “2011 Proxy Statement”). In addition, the full texts of the 2011 Incentive Plan and the 2011 Bonus Plan are filed as Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively, to the 2011 Proxy Statement. Each of the foregoing summaries and the full texts of the 2011 Incentive Plan and the 2011 Bonus Plan are incorporated herein by reference.

On November 16, 2011, the Board, upon the recommendation of its Compensation and Leadership Committee and after determining that a temporary relocation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from London, England, to New York City would be in the best interests of the Company, approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Letter, dated March 9, 2011, between Mr. Charles J. Burdick, the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Company, to implement such change in Mr. Burdick’s work location for a period of up to 12 months (which relocation is expected to occur on December 1, 2011). In order to offset the costs incurred by Mr. Burdick for the duration of the relocation, the Amendment provides for (i) an increase in Mr. Burdick’s annual base salary from $700,000 to $820,000, and (ii) benefits under the Company’s standard short-term international assignments policy, which include per diem allowances for hotel and food, certain travel expenses and a tax equalization payment sufficient to pay or reimburse covered employees for any increase in personal income taxes resulting from such assignment. In the case of Mr. Burdick, the tax equalization provision is expected to relate solely to income imputed on the value of allowances for hotel, food and travel expenses. In addition, the Amendment provides that Mr. Burdick’s annual on-target bonus for any fiscal year to be equal to his annual base salary for such year (subject to pro ration for partial fiscal year). The foregoing description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

At the 2011 Annual Meeting held on November 16, 2011, the shareholders voted as indicated below on the following proposals:

Accordingly, each of the nominees, other than Messrs. Alon and O’Donnell, was elected to the Board by Company shareholders, to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

Accordingly, Proposal 2 was approved by Company shareholders.

Accordingly, Proposal 3, a non-binding advisory vote, was approved by Company shareholders.

Accordingly, Company shareholders approved “Every 1 Year” as their preferred frequency for holding future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. In light of the results of this non-binding advisory vote, at a meeting of the Board following the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Board determined that future advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers will be held annually and will be included in the proxy materials for each annual meeting, until the next required vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers or until the Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.
