AS OF SEPTEMBER 7, 2011
(A New York Corporation)
ARTICLE I
OFFICES
Section 1. The principal office of the Corporation shall be located in the State of New York.
Section 2. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of New York, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.
ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Section 1. All meetings of shareholders for the election of directors shall be held at such place within or without the State of New York as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.
Section 2.
(a) Annual meetings of shareholders shall be held on such date and at such time as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof (except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section 2), at which the shareholders entitled to vote shall elect a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. Directors shall be elected by a majority of votes cast (as defined herein) to hold office until the next annual meeting unless the election is contested, in which case directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes cast. For purposes of this Section, an election shall be contested if, as determined by the Board of Directors, the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected and a majority of votes cast means the number of shares voted for a director exceeds the number of votes cast against that director.
(b) If no annual meeting of shareholders is held in 2012 on or before June 30, 2012, holders of ten percent (10%) of the votes of the shares entitled to vote in an election of directors may, in writing, demand the call of a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors specifying the date and month thereof, which shall not be less than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days from the date of such written demand. The Secretary of the Corporation upon receiving the written demand shall promptly give notice of such meeting, or if the Secretary fails to do so within five (5) business days thereafter, any shareholder signing such demand may give such notice. Any meeting pursuant to this subsection shall be held at the principal offices of the Corporation.
Section 3. Special meetings of shareholders may be held at such time and place within or without the State of New York as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.
Section 4. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the certificate of incorporation, may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors or the holders of not less than a majority of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 5. Written notice of every meeting of shareholders, stating the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and the date and time and the place where it is to be held, shall be served not less than ten nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting, either personally or by mail, upon each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting and upon each shareholder of record who, by reason of any action proposed at such meeting, would be entitled to have his stock appraised if such action were taken, and shall be sent by facsimile or electronic (e-mail) transmission simultaneously to all members of the Board of Directors. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the mail directed to a shareholder at his address as it shall appear on the books of the Corporation unless he shall have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices intended for him be mailed to some other address, in which case it shall be mailed to the address designated in such request. The attendance of any shareholder at a meeting, in person or by proxy, without protesting prior to the conclusion of the meeting the lack of notice of such meeting, shall constitute a waiver of notice by such shareholder.
Section 6. In order to properly submit any business to an annual meeting of shareholders (other than with respect to nominations for directors which are governed exclusively by Article IV, Section 3), a shareholder must give timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation of such shareholders intention to present such business, as set forth herein. To be considered timely, a shareholders notice must be delivered, either in person or by certified mail, postage prepaid, and received at the
2
principal executive office of the Corporation, (a) not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary date of the Corporations proxy statement in connection with the last annual meeting or (b) in the case of the first annual meeting following the effective date of this Section 6 (March 10, 2010) or if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier or later than the first anniversary date of the most recent annual meeting, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation, provided, however, that, in respect of the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2012, a shareholders notice will be considered timely if delivered, either in person or by certified mail, postage prepaid, and received at the principal executive office of the Corporation, on or before March 31, 2012. Each notice to the Secretary shall set forth (a) as to any business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the by-laws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (b) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Corporations books, and of such beneficial owner, if any, (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner, (iii) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the proposal between or among such shareholder and such beneficial owner, any of their respective affiliates or associates, and any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing, (iv) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, warrants, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the shareholders notice by, or on behalf of, such shareholder and such beneficial owners, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such shareholder and such beneficial owner, with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation (which information shall be supplemented by such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting), (v) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business and (vi) a representation whether the shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporations outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee or otherwise to solicit proxies from shareholders in support of such proposal. In addition, the shareholder shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation. The presiding officer of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that a proposal was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he
3
should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective proposal shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, a shareholder who seeks to have any proposal included in the Corporations proxy statement shall comply with applicable state law and the requirements of the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The requirements of this Section 6 shall apply to any business to be brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder (other than the nomination of a person for election as a director, which is governed by Section 3 of Article IV) whether such business is to be included in the Corporations proxy statement or presented to shareholders by means of an independently financed proxy solicitation.
Section 7. The business transacted at any special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
ARTICLE III
QUORUM AND VOTING OF STOCK
Section 1. The holders of a majority of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to a vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting.
Section 2. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of stock represented at the meeting and entitled to vote shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater or lesser number of shares of stock is required by law or the certificate of incorporation.
Section 3. Each outstanding share of stock having voting power shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
Section 4. The Board of Directors in advance of any shareholders meeting may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors are not so appointed, the person presiding at a shareholders meeting may, and, on the request of any shareholder entitled to vote thereat, shall, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting or
4
at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.
Section 5. Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting on written consent, setting forth the action so taken, signed by the holders of all outstanding shares.
ARTICLE IV
DIRECTORS
Section 1. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consist of such number of directors, not less than three nor more than eleven, as shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.

The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders or a special meeting of the shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors and, except as hereinafter provided, each director elected shall serve until the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.
Section 3. (a) Nominations for the election of directors may be made by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors (or, in the absence of such committee, by the Board of Directors) or by any shareholder entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. However, any shareholder entitled to vote generally in the election of directors may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at an annual meeting or a special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors only if written notice of such shareholders intention to make such nomination or nominations has been given, to the Secretary of the Corporation, either by personal delivery or by certified mail, postage prepaid, and received at the principal executive office of the Corporation (1) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of shareholders, (a) not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary date of the Corporations proxy statement in connection with the last annual meeting or (b) in the case of the first annual meeting following the effective date of this Section 3 (March 10, 2010) or if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier or later than the first anniversary date of the most recent annual meeting, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation, provided, however, that in respect of the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2012, a shareholders notice will be considered timely if
5
given to the Secretary of the Corporation, either by personal delivery or by certified mail, postage prepaid, and received at the principal executive office of the Corporation on or before March 31, 2012, and (2) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of shareholders, the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. Each such notice to the Secretary shall set forth (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Corporations books, and the name and address of such beneficial owner, if any, and such shareholders nominees; (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner, (iii) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the proposal between or among such shareholder and such beneficial owner, any of their respective affiliates or associates, and any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing, (iv) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, warrants, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the shareholders notice by, or on behalf of, such shareholder and such beneficial owners, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such shareholder and such beneficial owner, with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation (which information shall be supplemented by such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting), (v) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each such nominee; (vi) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (vii) a representation whether the shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporations outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee or otherwise to solicit proxies from shareholders in support of such proposal; (viii) such other information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of the nominees of such shareholder; and (ix) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. The presiding officer of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
(b) The Corporation shall include in its proxy materials for a meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected the name, together with the Disclosure and Statement (both as defined below in this Section 3(b)), of any person nominated for election (the Nominee) to the Board of Directors by a shareholder that satisfies the requirements of this Section 3(b) (the Nominator), and allow shareholders
6
to vote with respect to such Nominee on the Corporations proxy card. A Nominator may nominate one candidate for election at a meeting. A Nominator must: (i) have beneficially owned 5% or more of the Corporations outstanding common stock continuously for at least two years as of both the date the written notice of the nomination is submitted to the Corporation and the record date for the meeting at which directors are to be elected (the Required Shares); (ii) provide written notice that is received by the Corporations Secretary within the time period specified in Article IV, Section 3(a) of these by-laws containing (A) with respect to the Nominee, (1) the information required by Article IV, Section 3 of these by-laws and (2) such Nominees consent to being named in the proxy statement and to serving as a director if elected; and (B) with respect to the Nominator, proof of ownership of the Required Shares (the information referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to as the Disclosure); and (iii) execute an undertaking that the Nominator agrees to (A) assume all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Nominators communications with the shareholders of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the Disclosure and Statement, and (B) to the extent it uses soliciting material other than the Corporations proxy materials, comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The Nominator may furnish, at the time the Disclosure is submitted, a statement for inclusion in the Companys proxy statement, not to exceed 500 words, in support of the Nominees candidacy (the Statement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(b), the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement that it, in good faith, believes would violate any applicable law or regulation. Any Nominator whose Nominee does not receive at least 25% of the votes cast in the related election of directors will be prohibited from serving as a Nominator for four years from the date of the annual meeting in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the effectiveness of Rule 14a-11 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (as adopted pursuant to SEC Release No. 34-62764 and as such Rule 14a-11 may be amended, revised or superseded by any successor rule(s) and regulation(s) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission), this Section 3(b) shall expire and this Section 3(b) and all references thereto contained in these by-laws shall be of no further force and effect.
Section 4. Any or all of the directors may be removed, with or without cause, at any time by the vote of the shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose. Any director may be removed for cause by the action of the directors at a special meeting of the Board of Directors called for that purpose.
Section 5. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the directors in office, although less than a quorum, or by election by the shareholders at any meeting thereof. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired portion of the term of his predecessor in office. A director elected to fill a newly created directorship shall serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.
7
Section 6. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.
Section 7. The directors may keep the books of the Corporation, except such as are required by law to be kept within the State, outside the State of New York, at such place or places as they may from time to time determine.
Section 8. The Board of Directors, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, and irrespective of any personal interest of any of its members, shall have authority to establish reasonable compensation of all directors for services to the Corporation as directors, officers or otherwise.

Nothing contained in this Article IX shall affect any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.
Section 3.

ARTICLE X
SHARES
Section 1. Shares of the Corporations stock may be evidenced by certificates for shares of stock or may be issued in uncertificated form in accordance with the BCL. The issuance of shares in uncertificated form shall not affect shares already

Such certificates shall be numbered and entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued. They shall exhibit the holders name and the number of shares and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation and may be sealed with the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof.

In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the date of issue.
LOST CERTIFICATES
Section 3. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates or uncertificated shares to be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or uncertificated shares, the Board of Directors, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, may prescribe such terms and conditions as it deems expedient, and may require such indemnities as it deems adequate, to protect the Corporation from any claim that may be made against it with respect to any such certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Subject to the foregoing, the Board of
13
Directors may make such rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary or appropriate concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation, and to appoint and remove transfer agents and registrars of transfers.
FIXING RECORD DATE

Such date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten days before the date of any meeting nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. When a determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS
Section 6. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner, and shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner, and the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of New York.
LIST OF SHAREHOLDERS
Section 7. A list of shareholders as of the record date, certified by the corporate officer responsible for its preparation or by a transfer agent, shall be produced at any meeting upon the request thereat or prior thereto of any shareholder.

Comverse Segment Results
Total Revenue and Segment Revenue
Total and segment revenue for the Comverse segment was $182.1 million for the current fiscal quarter, a decrease of 17.8% compared to the $221.5 million for the prior year fiscal quarter. Total and segment revenue included $1.1 million and $0.5 million of intercompany revenue for the current fiscal quarter and the prior year fiscal quarter, respectively.
Revenue from customer solutions was $91.4 million for the current fiscal quarter, a decrease of $42.7 million, or 31.8%, compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. Revenue from maintenance was $89.6 million for the current fiscal quarter, an increase of $2.6 million, or 3.0%, compared to the prior year fiscal quarter.
Revenue from Business Support Systems (BSS) customer solutions and maintenance was $85.5 million for the current fiscal quarter, an increase of $3.9 million, or 4.8%, compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. Revenue from Value-Added Services (VAS) customer solutions and maintenance was $95.5 million for the current fiscal quarter, a decrease of $44.0 million, or 31.5%, compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. The decline in VAS revenue was in large part the result of the companys Business Transformation plan, which was initially presented in 2010, and involves the adoption of a more focused and selective approach to the voice and messaging product markets, including the implementation of more strict profitability criteria in the pursuit of new business.
GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations
Income from operations for the Comverse segment was $9.6 million for the current fiscal quarter, compared to loss from operations of $13.2 million for the prior year fiscal quarter.
Segment Performance
Comverse segment performance was $16.8 million for the current fiscal quarter, representing a segment performance margin of 9.2%, compared to $14.3 million for the prior year fiscal quarter, representing a segment performance margin of 6.4%.
Financial Condition of CTI and the Comverse Segment
As of July 31, 2011, CTI and the Comverse segment had combined cash, cash equivalents, bank time deposits and restricted cash of approximately $374.2 million, compared to approximately $380.3 million as of April 30, 2011. During the current fiscal quarter, CTI and Comverse made significant disbursements aggregating approximately $55.3 million, primarily related to a payment under a class action settlement agreement, professional fees and restructurings. In addition, during such period, CTIs holding company operations experienced negative cash flows from operations. These decreases were partially offset by aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $28.6 million received by CTI from sales and redemptions of auction rate securities (ARS) and in connection with the settlement of certain CTI claims against a third party. In addition, during the current fiscal quarter, Comverse had positive cash flows from operations.
Restricted cash aggregated $78.5 million as of July 31, 2011, compared to $69.0 million as of April 30, 2011. Cash, cash equivalents, bank time deposits and restricted cash excludes ARS. As of July 31, 2011 and April 30, 2011, CTI had $68.9 million and $94.2 million aggregate principal amount of ARS, respectively, with a carrying value on each such date of approximately $51.9 million and $72.4 million, respectively. As previously disclosed, proceeds from sales and redemptions of ARS (including interest thereon) are restricted under the terms of the consolidated shareholder class action settlement agreement.

As of July 31, 2011 and April 30, 2011, CTI and the Comverse segment had combined indebtedness of approximately $2.2 million.
Verint Segment
Verint is a majority-owned subsidiary of CTI. Its common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol VRNT.

An on-line, real-time webcast of the conference call will be available on our website at www.cmvt.com. The conference call can also be accessed live via telephone at 1-678-825-8369. Please dial in 5-10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
A replay of the call will be available, beginning at approximately 11:00 am on September 8, 2011, for thirty days, at 404-537-3406, and archived via webcast at www.cmvt.com. The replay access code is 98059155.
Segment Performance
CTI uses segment performance, as defined below, as the primary basis for assessing the financial results of its segments and for the allocation of resources. Segment performance, as defined by CTIs management in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) guidance relating to segment reporting, is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies. Segment performance, as defined by management, represents operating results of a segment without the impact of significant expenditures incurred by the segment in connection with the efforts to become current in periodic reporting obligations under the federal securities laws, certain non-cash charges, and certain other insignificant gains and charges.
Segment performance is computed by management as income (loss) from operations adjusted for the following: (i) stock-based compensation expense; (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles; (iii) compliance-related professional fees; (iv) compliance-related compensation and other expenses; (v) impairment charges; (vi) litigation settlements and related costs; (vii) acquisition-related charges; (viii) restructuring and integration charges; and (ix) certain other insignificant gains and charges. Compliance-related professional fees and compliance-related compensation and other expenses relate to fees and expenses incurred in connection with (a) the companys efforts to complete current and previously issued financial statements and audits of such financial statements and (b) the companys efforts to become and remain current in its periodic reporting obligations under the federal securities laws.
In evaluating each segments performance, management uses segment revenue, which consists of revenue generated by the segment, including intercompany revenue. Certain segment performance adjustments relate to expenses included in the calculation of income (loss) from operations, while, from time to time, certain segment performance adjustments may be presented as adjustments to revenue. In calculating Verints segment performance for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, the presentation of segment revenue gives effect to segment revenue adjustments that represent the impact of fair value adjustments required under the FASBs guidance relating to acquired customer support contracts that
3
would have otherwise been recognized as revenue on a standalone basis with respect to an acquisition consummated by Verint in March 2011. Verint did not have a segment revenue adjustment for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CTI provides Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Comverse Technology, Inc. and Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share attributable to Comverse Technology, Inc.s shareholders as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, GAAP financial measures and may be different from, or not comparable to similarly titled or other non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. CTI believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations as viewed by management in monitoring the companys businesses. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for reviewing financial results and for planning purposes. See Comverse Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries Consolidated Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
About Comverse Technology, Inc.
Comverse Technology, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Comverse, is the worlds leading provider of software and systems enabling converged billing and active customer management and value-added voice, messaging and mobile Internet services. Comverses extensive customer base spans more than 125 countries and covers over 450 communication service providers serving more than two billion subscribers.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements appearing in this press release constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as may, expects, plans, anticipates, estimates, believes, potential, projects, forecasts, intends, or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results, performance and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release. These and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors are described in CTIs recent filings with the SEC, including, without limitation, in Item 1A, Risk Factors of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 (the 2010 Form 10-K) and the sections captioned Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2010 Form 10-K, and include, among other things, the following risks and uncertainties:
| the risk that the registration of CTIs common stock will be revoked by a non-appealable order of the SEC, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), if the SEC fails to approve an Offer of Settlement made on July 26, 2011 (which reflects the terms of an agreement in principle entered into with the SECs Division of Enforcement on July 13, 2011) or, if approved, if the Division of Enforcement, in its sole discretion, determines that the companys Quarterly Report for the quarter ended July 31, 2011 contains deficiencies that are not remedied by CTI within five business days from the date that the Division of Enforcement notifies CTI of such deficiencies. If a final order is issued by the SEC to revoke the registration of CTIs |
4
common stock, brokers, dealers and other market participants would be prohibited from buying, selling, making market in, publishing quotations of, or otherwise effecting transactions with respect to, such common stock and, as a result, public trading of CTIs common stock would cease and investors would find it difficult to acquire or dispose of CTIs common stock or obtain accurate price quotations for CTIs common stock, which could result in a significant decline in the value of CTIs common stock, and our business and liquidity may be adversely impacted, including, without limitation, an adverse impact on CTIs ability to issue stock to raise equity capital, engage in business combinations, provide employee equity incentives or use CTIs common stock to make a significant payment under a consolidated shareholder class action settlement agreement; |
| the risk of diminishment in our capital resources as a result of, among other things, future negative cash flows from operations at Comverse or the continued incurrence of significant expenses by CTI and Comverse in connection with the filing by CTI of periodic reports under the federal securities laws and the remediation of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting; |
| the continuation of material weaknesses or the discovery of additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and any delay in the implementation of remedial measures; |
| the review of the periodic reports of CTI and Verint Systems by the staff of the SEC could result in amendments to our and Verint Systems financial information or other disclosures; |
| the risk that, if CTI ceases to maintain a majority ownership of Verint Systems outstanding equity securities and ceases to maintain control over Verints operations, it may be required to no longer consolidate Verints financial statements within its consolidated financial statements and, in such event, the presentation of CTIs consolidated financial statements would be materially different from the presentation for the fiscal periods covered by this press release and for the fiscal years covered by the 2010 Form 10-K; |
| CTI may be unable to relist its common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market or another national securities exchange, in which case, CTIs common stock would continue to be traded over-the-counter on the Pink Sheets and shareholders may continue to experience limited liquidity due to, among other things, the absence of market makers; |
| we may need to recognize further impairment of intangible assets or financial assets, including our ARS portfolio, and goodwill; |
| the effects of any potential decline or weakness in the global economy (due to among other things, the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and European sovereign debt crisis) on the telecommunications industry, which may result in reduced information technology spending and reduced demand for our subsidiaries products and services; |
| disruption in the credit and capital markets may limit our ability to access capital; |
| potential loss of business opportunities due to continued concern on the part of customers, partners, investors and employees about our financial condition and CTIs previous extended delay in becoming current in its periodic reporting obligations under the federal securities laws; |
| rapidly changing technology in our subsidiaries industries and our subsidiaries ability to enhance existing products and develop and market new products; |
| our subsidiaries dependence on contracts for large systems and large installations for a significant portion of their sales and operating results including, among other things, the lengthy and complex bidding and selection process, the difficulty predicting their ability to obtain particular contracts and the timing and scope of these opportunities; |
5
| the difficulty in predicting operating results as a result of lengthy and variable sales cycles, focus on large customers and installations, short delivery windows required by customers, and the high percentage of orders typically generated late in the fiscal quarter; |
| the deferral or loss of one or more significant orders or customers or a delay in an expected implementation of such an order could materially and adversely affect our results of operations in any fiscal period, particularly if there are significant sales and marketing expenses associated with the deferred, lost or delayed sales; |
| the potential incurrence by our subsidiaries of significant costs to correct previously undetected operational problems in their complex products; |
| our subsidiaries dependence on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for certain components and third party software could cause a supply shortage and/or interruptions in product supply; |
| the risk that increased competition could force our subsidiaries to lower their prices or take other actions to differentiate their products and changes in the competitive environment in the telecommunications industry worldwide could seriously affect Comverses business; |
| the risk that increased costs or reduced demand for Comverses products resulting from compliance with evolving telecommunications regulations and the implementation of new standards may adversely affect our business and financial condition; |
| the risk that Comverse will be unable to comply with stringent standards imposed through Indian telecommunications service providers on equipment and software vendors that are not Indian owned or controlled by the Department of Telecommunications of the Government of India (the DoT), in which case Comverses ability to conduct business in India will be substantially limited and our revenue, profitability and cash flows would be materially adversely affected; |
| risks associated with significant indemnification obligations and various other obligations to which Comverse is, and will continue to be, subject as part of its compliance with DoT prescribed standards; |
| the risk that the failure or delay in achieving interoperability of Comverses products with its customers systems could impair its ability to sell its products; |
| the competitive bidding process used to generate sales requires our subsidiaries to expend significant resources with no guarantee of recoupment; |
| our subsidiaries inability to maintain relationships with value added resellers, systems integrators and other third parties that market and sell their products could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations; |
| third parties infringement of our subsidiaries proprietary technology and the infringement by our subsidiaries of the intellectual property of third parties, including through the use of free or open source software; |
| risks of certain contractual obligations of our subsidiaries exposing them to uncapped liabilities; |
| the impact of mergers and acquisitions, including, but not limited to, difficulties relating to integration, the achievement of anticipated synergies and the implementation of required controls, procedures and policies at the acquired company; |
| risks associated with significant foreign operations and international sales, including the impact of geopolitical, economic and military conditions in foreign countries, conducting operations in countries with a history of corruption, entering into transactions with foreign governments and ensuring compliance with laws that prohibit improper payments; |
6
| adverse fluctuations of currency exchange rates; |
| risks relating to our significant operations in Israel, including economic, political and/or military conditions in Israel and the surrounding Middle East, and uncertainties relating to research and development grants, tax benefits and the ability of our Israeli subsidiaries to pay dividends; |
| potential decline in the price of CTIs common stock in the event that holders of securities awarded under CTIs equity incentive plans elect to sell a significant number of shares after CTI makes provision for the registration for issuance or sale of securities awarded under equity incentive plans; |
| the issuance of additional equity securities diluting CTIs outstanding common stock, including the potential issuance of shares of CTIs common stock in November 2011 pursuant to the settlement agreement of a consolidated shareholder class action; |
| risks that the credit ratings of CTI and its subsidiaries could be downgraded or placed on a credit watch based on, among other things, its financial results; |
| the ability of Verint to pay its indebtedness as it becomes due or refinance its indebtedness as well as comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained therein; |
| Verints dependence on government contracts and the possibility that U.S. or foreign governments could refuse to purchase Verints Communications Intelligence solutions or could deactivate Verints security clearances in their countries; |
| risks associated with Verints handling, or the perception of mishandling, of customers sensitive information; |
| Verints ability to receive or retain necessary export licenses or authorizations; and |
| other risks described in filings with the SEC. |
