Oliver Press Partners Sets Record Date for Comverse Technology, Inc. (CMVT.PK) Consents

Oliver Press Partners, LLC announced today that it had delivered to Comverse Technology, Inc. [CMVT.PK] the first Demand for the calling of a Special Meeting for the Election of Directors of Comverse. The effect of that delivery is to establish tomorrow, May 1, as the record date for the solicitation by OPP of Consents from other Comverse shareholders in support of the Special Meeting. OPP expects that shareholders will begin to receive their consent materials by early next week. Once OPP has obtained Consents from the holders of at least 10% of the outstanding Comverse shares and demanded the Special Meeting, the Company will be obligated under New York Law to call the Special Meeting. In its Demand delivered today, OPP specified Monday, July 23 as the meeting date. OPP is seeking to call the Special Meeting in order to give shareholders the opportunity that has been denied them for almost two years to elect the Board of Directors. OPP currently intends to nominate for election to the Board all current directors, including Andre Dahan, who takes office today as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, assuming they consent, as well as Augustus K. Oliver and Clifford Press, the two principals of OPP. The net effect of OPP’s effort, if successful, will be to add Messrs. Oliver and Press to the existing Board. Clifford Press, a partner of OPP, said "Our action today provides shareholders with the opportunity to exercise their rights under New York law to determine who should represent their interests on the Board of Directors. We believe a vital component of that representation that is currently lacking is a meaningful ownership interest. In our view, this representation is critically important as the Company works to develop a value recovery plan. The process we have initiated today is designed to rectify that deficiency.” Questions regarding the solicitation may be addressed to OPP or to OPP’s proxy solicitors, Innisfree M&A Incorporated, 501 Madison Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10022 by mail, or toll-free at (877) 456-3442, or by email at OPP@innisfreema.com.
