Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On December 2, 2021, Verint Systems Inc. ("Verint" or the "Company") issued a press release providing selected financial information for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021, and its outlook. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02 in its entirety.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 2, 2021, we announced that our board of directors had authorized a new stock repurchase program for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2023 whereby we may repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock to offset dilution from our equity compensation program for such fiscal year. Repurchases are expected to be financed with available cash in the United States or through borrowing under the Company's revolving credit facility, subject to compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. We may utilize a number of different methods to effect the repurchases, including open market purchases, which may include, without limitation, round lot or block transactions, including through one or more accelerated stock repurchase plans or pursuant to the terms of one or more repurchase plans in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 or Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The specific timing, price, and size of purchases will depend on prevailing stock prices, general market and economic conditions, and other considerations, including the amount of cash available in the U.S. and other potential uses of cash. The program may be extended, suspended, or discontinued at any time without prior notice and does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock.
