Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 7, 2022, Verint Systems Inc. (“Verint”) announced a Chief Financial Officer succession plan. Under the succession plan, Douglas Robinson will step down as CFO of Verint and Grant Highlander will be appointed as CFO of Verint effective on a date to be determined (the “Transition Date”) during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year (ending January 31, 2023).
Mr. Highlander currently serves as the CFO of Verint’s Customer Engagement business, which has encompassed all of Verint’s business activities since the spin-off of Cognyte Software Ltd. on February 1, 2021. Mr. Highlander has held this position since 2015. Prior to joining Verint, Mr. Highlander spent over 17 years at IBM in a number of finance roles culminating in Vice President & CFO of IBM Security.
Mr. Highlander is currently party to an offer letter and a standard employee agreement with us. We expect to enter into a new executive employment agreement with Mr. Highlander effective on the Transition Date, the terms of which have not yet been determined. There are no family relationships between Mr. Highlander and any of Verint’s directors or executive officers and there are no arrangements or understandings between him and any other person pursuant to which he was selected for his position. There are no related person transactions involving Mr. Highlander that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Mr. Robinson is expected to remain with Verint in an advisory role following the Transition Date on terms which have not yet been determined.
A copy of the press release issued by Verint announcing the CFO succession plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
