In re Comverse Technology, Inc. Derivative Shareholder Litigation
(United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York)

Shareholder derivative action filed on behalf of Louisiana Municipal Employees’ Retirement System brought for the benefit of Comverse Technology, Inc. ("Comverse"), against certain officers and directors of the Company. This action arises from defendants’ obtaining, approving, and/or acquiescing in the issuance of stock options to senior executives and directors that were unlawfully backdated to provide the recipients with windfall compensation at the direct expense of Comverse between January 1, 1994 and the present.

On September 1, 2006, Nominal Defendant Comverse moved to stay the litigation, and on November 2, 2006, the Court denied Comverse’s motion. On September 28, 2006, the Court appointed BLB&G Lead Counsel in the action. On October 6, 2006, Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Derivative Complaint in this Action.

Firm partner Salvatore Graziano and associates Laura Gundersheim and Katherine McCracken Sinderson are responsible for prosecuting this action.
