EXPLANATORY NOTE

On or about July 30, 2024, Cognyte Software Ltd. (the “Company”) first distributed a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) and a proxy card relating to its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on September 4, 2024 (the “Annual General Meeting”) to all shareholders of record, as of the record date for the Annual General Meeting.

A supplement to the Proxy Statement (the “Supplement”) is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1. The Supplement contains additional agenda items relating to the Annual General Meeting proposed by certain shareholders as of the record date for the Annual General Meeting and the recommendation and analysis of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Because the requesting shareholders hold in the aggregate more than 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, the Company is required, under regulations promulgated under the Israel Companies Law, 5759-1999, to add the proposed additional agenda items to the Annual General Meeting’s agenda, as set forth in the Supplement.

The requesting shareholders are solely responsible for the content of their proposals. The statement by the Board in opposition of the shareholder proposals is summarized in the Supplement and set forth in the letter to shareholders dated as of August 12, 2024 (the “Letter”). The Board recommends a vote AGAINST the shareholder proposals and stands by its recommendations as set forth in the Company’s Proxy Statement, which is available at the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1824814/000114036124034784/ef20032907_ex99-1.htm.

A copy of a revised proxy card containing the proposed additional agenda items is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2. A copy of the Letter is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.3.
