Verint Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNT) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure
Item 9.01Regulation FD Disclosure.

On December 13, 2018, Verint Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Verint”), entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), to which it will, through a subsidiary, purchase all of the issued and outstanding (a) shares of capital stock of ForeSee Results, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (b) membership interests in RSR Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of ForeSee (together, “ForeSee”), in each case, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Financial Terms and Updated non-GAAP Outlook for the Year Ending January 31, 2020

Verint will acquire ForeSee for $58.9 million of cash to be paid at closing, plus a deferred payment of $6.0 million. The acquisition is expected to close during our fourth quarter and we are maintaining our guidance for the current year ending January 31, 2019.

Subject to closing the acquisition during our fourth quarter, we are updating our initial non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2020 as follows:

GAAP Measures

Our initial non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2020 excludes the following GAAP measures which we are able to quantify with reasonable certainty:

Our initial non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2020 excludes the following GAAP measures for which we are able to provide a range of probable significance:

The GAAP measures excluded from our non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2020 described above do not include the impact of this acquisition, which we cannot determine until an accounting for the acquisition, including an allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the net assets acquired, is completed. We expect to complete this accounting prior to reporting our operating results for the three months and year ending January 31, 2019, and expect it to impact the amortization of intangible assets, revenue adjustments related to acquisitions, and stock-based compensation which are excluded from our non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2020. We are unable, without unreasonable efforts, to quantify these GAAP measures at this time.

Our non-GAAP outlook does not include the potential impact of any other in-process business acquisitions that may close after the date hereof, and, unless otherwise specified, reflects foreign currency exchange rates approximately consistent with current rates.

We are unable, without unreasonable efforts, to provide a reconciliation for other GAAP measures which are excluded from our non-GAAP outlook, including the impact of future business acquisitions or acquisition expenses, future restructuring expenses, and non-GAAP income tax adjustments due to the level of unpredictability and uncertainty associated with these items. For these same reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of these excluded items.

On December 17, 2018, Verint issued a press release regarding its entry into the Purchase Agreement. A copy of such press release has been furnished as Exhibit99.1 to this Current Report on Form8-K.
