Explanation of Responses:
1. Each represents a contingent right to receive one share of Verint Common Stock on the applicable vesting date. The earned portion of the last 1/3 of the award was determined by the Stock Option Committee on March 17, 2010 based on the Company's achievement of a specified revenue target for the period from February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010, however, this tranche will not vest until July 2, 2010.
2. Each represents a contingent right to receive one share of Verint Common Stock on the applicable vesting date. The earned portion of the second 1/3 of the award vested on March 17, 2010 as a result of the Stock Option Committee's determination of the Company's achievement of a specified revenue target for the period from February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010. The vesting of the remaining 1/3 of the award (which is not included in Table I) remains subject to the determination of the achievement of certain performance goals.
3. Each represents a contingent right to receive one share of Verint Common Stock on the applicable vesting date. The earned portion of the first 1/3 of the award vested on March 17, 2010 as a result of the Stock Option Committee's determination of the Company's achievement of a specified revenue target for the period from February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010. The vesting of the remaining 2/3 of the award (which is not included in Table I) remains subject to the determination of the achievement of certain performance goals.

The award is scheduled to vest 1/3 on April 4, 2011, 1/3 on April 4, 2012, and 1/3 on April 4, 2013, but in no event prior to the date the Company has sufficient available capacity under one or more current or future shareholder-approved equity plans for all equity awards granted on March 17, 2010, May 20, 2009, March 4, 2009 and May 28, 2008, in each case, which remainoutstanding at such time, to vest in compliance with Nasdaq restrictions relating to the use of assumed equity plans (the "Vesting Condition"). In the event that the award does not vest as scheduled because of the Vesting Condition, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to pay the portion of the award scheduled to vest in cash on the scheduled vesting date or at any time until the Vesting Condition is satisfied.
