The Company provides platforms and solutions that help organizations understand their customers and employees and predict their intentions and their needs to create exceptional customer experiences, understand their workforce to drive greater efficiency, and identify suspicious behavior to prevent financial crime and non-compliant activities.

Our mission is to provide organizations with the confidence in making the right business decisions based on accurate, relevant and insightful information.

We do this by capturing customer interactions and transactions across multiple channels and sources. We then apply best-in-class analytics to this data to provide real-time insight and uncover intent. Our solutions allow organizations to operationalize this insight and embed it within their daily business processes.

Today, more than 25,000 organizations in over 150 countries, including over 85 of the Fortune 100 companies, are using NICE solutions. These organizations span all major industries, including banking, telecommunications, insurance, retail, travel and more.

2017 was a very successful year for NICE on multiple fronts: we achieved 31% growth in non-GAAP revenue to a record of $1,346 million, 23% growth in non-GAAP operating income to a record of $336 million and also a record in non-GAAP EPS of $4.10, which represents 14% growth. We reported record cash flow from operations of $395 million in 2017 and an increase in our recurring revenue from 53% last year to 65% in 2017.

April 3, 2018

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

2017 was a year of solid execution with significant advances made on our NICE2B strategic plan, which centers around NICE becoming a $2 billion revenue company. The foundation of this plan is our four strategic pillars of cloud, omni-channel, analytics and artificial intelligence. Our strong execution and financial results reflect the success we are having in being clearly aligned between our long terms goals and these four pillars.

This success has transformed NICE into a visibly different company today than it was several years ago: we have gone from an addressable market of $3 billion to $7 billion today, which is growing rapidly to become a more than $12 billion dollar market; we have a fast growing cloud business, representing nearly 30% of our revenues at the end of 2017 with a clear path toward 50%; and, we now have the right offerings and very effective go-to-market assets that enable us to address the entire range of organizations from the smallest businesses to the largest enterprises.

In 2017, we further distanced ourselves from our competition with a substantial set of assets that we have gained through both rapid organic innovation and acquisitions, allowing us to effectively execute on our strategy. One such significant step in expanding our leadership position was the launch of CXone, the industry’s first fully integrated, open, cloud customer service platform. CXone, with its open architecture and hundreds of APIs, is a platform with a complete, analytics based set of integrated applications for the customer service market. CXone allows NICE and its growing ecosystem of partners to leverage the value of our rapid innovation to the benefit of any enterprise, large and small. We currently have well over 100 DEVone partners developing solutions on the CXone platform, and these same partners are also offering their solutions in our application marketplace called CXexchange. CXone is the only customer service platform that fully integrates self-service, omnichannel support, analytics and workforce optimization – an ‘all-in-one’ solution for a market that was traditionally forced to purchase solutions piecemeal and expend considerable effort in stitching these solutions together.

CXone is being quickly adopted by our customers, making NICE the preeminent cloud provider in our industry, and it has helped us gain a strong foothold in the mid-market, augmenting our already leading position in the large enterprise market. Our cloud success is reflected in our strong growth in cloud revenues in 2017 and the more than 550 new cloud customers that we won in 2017, and our platform was recognized by industry analysts as the leading customer service cloud platform.

Cloud has also become a key strategic component in our financial crime and compliance business. With Essentials, our cloud anti-money laundering and fraud prevention solution, we have already seen significant progress in entering the market for mid-tier financial institutions. Moreover, one of the largest core banking providers selected Essentials as their standard market offering. This strategic partnership opens up a new and valuable distribution channel to deliver our cloud solutions to thousands of mid-tier financial institutions.

Analytics continues to play a vital role in our platform strategy, and throughout 2017 continued to be a fast growing part of our business, representing more than 60% of our new business. In 2017, we further enhanced our analytics with the infusion of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has enabled us to provide analytics solutions that go beyond just providing recommendations to actually automating business actions. There are multiple examples throughout our portfolio. Our cognitive robotics automation solution powered by AI witnessed rapid growth in 2017 and was adopted by some of the leading enterprises worldwide for their most critical business processes. Another example is ActimizeWatch, which is part of our autonomous financial crime management offering that uses consortium data and state of the art machine learning to help defend against potential new types of fraud. We believe that we are only scratching the surface with the potential of AI, and with thousands of customers and new technologies being developed every day, there is great opportunity for further growth in this strategic pillar.

With the momentum we generated in 2017, we are entering 2018 with a clear strategy, execution plan and endless energy. As we step into 2018 and beyond, we are well positioned for continued success, and to capitalize on our expanding addressable market. We have the industry’s leading technology assets, we have talented and passionate people, and we are in one of the strongest competitive positions that we have ever been. All this, together with the healthy end markets, makes us excited about the opportunities ahead.

I would like to thank our customers and partners who give us such positive feedback and continue to show such strong support for our business. Whether it is through customer surveys or reference calls, our customers and partners make us feel great about the work we are doing and the impact we are making, and they continue to recognize us as their trusted business partners.

I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support. We are incredibly proud of what our company stands for and what we have delivered, but we are even more excited for what the future holds for NICE.

And, I want to recognize our employees. You run the ship day in and day out, and there is no one more important to NICE than the people that make it what it is today – the clear market leader in our industry. Thank you for the hard work, new ideas and unrelenting dedication and determination to seeing us succeed.

Sincerely,

Barak Eilam
Chief Executive Officer

NICE Ltd.

Unless otherwise indicated on the form of proxy, if a proxy is properly executed and received by the Company prior to the Meeting, Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in favor of all the matters to be presented to the Meeting, as described above. If a shareholder on the form of proxy makes a specification, the Shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with such specification. On all matters considered at the Meeting, abstentions of a holder of Shares will be treated as neither a vote “for” or “against” the matter, although they will be counted in determining if a quorum is present.

Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement among the Company and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Depositary, and the holders of the Company’s ADSs, the Depositary shall endeavor (insofar as is practicable and in accordance with the applicable law and the articles of association of the Company) to vote or cause to be voted the number of Shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to the Depositary.

ITEM 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (EXCLUDING “OUTSIDE DIRECTORS”)

Under the Company’s articles of association, the Board is to consist of not less than three and not more than thirteen directors. Directors of the Company, other than outside directors, are elected at each annual general meeting of shareholders. At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect five (5) members to the Board and one of the three outside directors of the Company. All the nominees for election qualify as “independent directors” under the NASDAQ listing rules, as discussed below.

The Company’s Board wishes to be comprised of a balanced combination of experienced directors who are familiar with the Company’s business and practices, namely: Messrs. David Kostman and Rimon Ben-Shaul, and members who provide industry acumen and expertise and bring global perspectives to the Board, namely: Messrs. Yehoshua (Shuki) Ehrlich, Leo Apotheker and Joseph Cowan. In addition we have three outside directors, appointed as mandated by the Israeli Companies Law in effect at the time of their appointment, namely: Mr. Dan Falk, Ms. Yocheved Dvir and Ms. Zehava Simon. Ms. Zehava Simon is standing for election for an additional term, as detailed in Item 2 of this Proxy Statement. This combination positions the Board with the right mixture for addressing the next challenges the Company may face and ensure its continued success. The Company will continue to enhance the capabilities of its Board in the future, seeking new members who may bring global experience, particularly in the hi-tech arena, along with experience in the specific markets in which we operate.

The Company’s Board is currently comprised of eight (8) directors, including three (3) outside directors. The Company’s Nominating Committee, Internal Audit Committee and Board have proposed the following five (5) nominees as the slate of directors (besides the three outside directors) to be elected at the Meeting to serve as directors of the Company until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders, or until termination of office according to the Company’s articles of association and applicable law: Mr. David Kostman (Chairman), Mr. Rimon Ben-Shaoul, Mr. Yehoshua (Shuki) Ehrlich, Mr. Leo Apotheker and Mr. Joseph Cowan.

The current cash compensation terms of our non-executive directors were approved at the 2015 annual general meeting of shareholders. Accordingly, each non-executive director, including each outside director, is entitled to an annual fee of $40,000 and a meeting attendance fee of $1,500 for each Board meeting attended, and $1,000 for each Board committee meeting attended (or 60% thereof, respectively, for a meeting designated as a telephonic meeting) (in each case paid in U.S. dollars or in NIS based on the exchange rate on the date of the approval by shareholders), subject to additional value added tax, as applicable. The number of Board and Board committee meetings varies from year to year. In 2017, all members of the Board participated in at least 80% of the Board and Board committee meetings held during the year, with an average participation rate of over 95%. In addition, in 2012, our shareholders approved a supplemental annual cash fee for the Chairman of the Board in the amount of NIS 450,000 (equivalent to approximately $128,571), subject to adjustment for changes in the Israeli consumer price index after September 2012. Also, each director of the Company is covered by the Company’s current directors and officers liability insurance policy, as approved by the shareholders at the 2012 and 2015 annual general meetings, and directors and officer’s indemnification of up to the maximum amount permitted by law, all in accordance with any applicable law and the Company’s articles of association. In addition, our non-executive directors, have in recent years, been granted with annual equity based awards which are approved by our shareholders at each annual shareholder meeting. In 2017, the actual grant date value attributed to the 2017 equity grants, calculated as of the date of the 2017 annual general meeting, was US$200,000 with respect to each of our directors (other than the Chairman) and US$520,740 with respect to our Chairman. In 2017 the Chairman also received a special one-time equity grant with an actual grant date value of US$468,900. See Item 4 below for further details regarding the equity-based compensation of the Company's non-executive directors.

None of the nominated directors have any relationship with the Company. Our Nominating Committee, Internal Audit Committee and Board determined that all of the nominees qualify as “independent directors,” as defined by the NASDAQ listing rules, and all of the nominees, excluding the Chairman, qualify as “independent directors” pursuant to regulations under the Israeli Companies Law.

ITEM 2

ELECTION OF AN OUTSIDE DIRECTOR

Companies incorporated under the laws of Israel whose shares have been offered to the public, such as the Company, are required by the Israeli Companies Law to appoint at least two outside directors. Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, the outside directors are elected by the shareholders for three-year terms. All of the outside directors of a company must be members of its internal audit committee and compensation committee, and each other committee of a company’s board of directors that is authorized to exercise powers of the Board must include at least one outside director.

The Company currently has three outside directors. Mr. Dan Falk and Ms. Yocheved Dvir were elected for an additional three year term by the shareholders of the Company at the Annual General Meeting that took place on May 17, 2016. Ms. Zehava Simon was elected as an additional outside director for a three year term by the shareholders of the Company at the Annual General Meeting that took place on July 9, 2015. Our nominating committee, Internal Audit Committee and Board resolved to recommend that our shareholders elect Ms. Zehava Simon as an outside director for an additional term of three years.

To qualify as an outside director, an individual may not have, and may not have had at any time during the previous two years, any affiliations with the Company or its “affiliates,” as such terms are defined in the Israeli Companies Law. In addition, no individual may serve as an outside director if the individual’s position or other activities create or may create a conflict of interest with his or her role as an outside director. The Company’s Internal Audit Committee has determined that Ms. Simon fully meets these qualifications.

Ms. Simon, as an outside director, shall be entitled to receive compensation identical to that granted to the other non-executive directors from time to time, namely, the annual and per meeting fees, equity grants, as well as directors and officers indemnification and liability insurance, as previously approved at our annual general meetings of shareholders, and as will be amended or approved from time to time, including as amended at the Meeting. See Items 1, 3 and 4 herein for details regarding the cash and equity-based compensation and liability insurance of the Company's non-executive directors, including outside directors.

ITEM 3

APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S AMENDED COMPENSATION POLICY

FOR OFFICE HOLDERS

Background

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law (the "Companies Law"), companies incorporated under the laws of Israel, whose shares are listed for trade on a stock exchange or have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel, such as NICE, are required to adopt a policy governing the compensation of "Office Holders".¹ On July 9, 2015, our shareholders approved the Company’s current Compensation Policy, as later amended and approved by our shareholders on December 14, 2016 (the "Compensation Policy" or the "Policy"). For additional information regarding the Compensation Policy and approval process, see the Notice of the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders, as filed with the SEC on June 1, 2015, and the Notice of the 2016 Special Meeting of the Shareholders, as filed with the SEC on November 10, 2016.

In general, according to the Companies Law, the Compensation Policy is required to be recommended for approval by the Compensation Committee, followed by the approval of the Board and finally by the shareholders of the Company (by a special majority).

The Compensation Policy must be reviewed from time to time by the Compensation Committee and the Board, in order to consider its adequacy, and must be reapproved in accordance with the above-mentioned approval process at least once every three years.

Following extensive review by the Compensation Committee and by the Board of the Compensation Policy, of the compensation policies of other companies and of applicable benchmark materials, and following consideration of the framework required for appropriately incentivizing the Company’s executives, and after taking into consideration the significant growth of the Company over the last few years as further described in item 5 below, our Compensation Committee and Board have determined that certain provisions of the Compensation Policy should be updated. The proposed amendments to the Compensation Policy are marked in the revised version of the Compensation Policy attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit “A” (the "Amended Policy").

If the Amended Policy is adopted in this Meeting, the Amended Policy shall be in force and effect for a period of three years commencing as of the date of its approval.

If the proposed Amended Policy is not approved, then the current Compensation Policy shall continue to be in full force and effect for the duration of the three-year period that commenced as of July 9, 2015, the date of its original approval by our shareholders.

¹ The Israeli Companies Law defines the term “office holder” of a company to include a director, the chief executive officer, the chief operating officer, a vice president and any officer of the company who is directly subordinate to the chief executive officer.

The main proposed changes to our Compensation Policy are as follows:

Part II, Section 11.4 – it is proposed to introduce a recruitment award to assist the Company in the recruitment of qualified and experienced executives on a global basis. Such award would be utilized in circumstances deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee and the Board in order to attract an executive, including where it is required to take into account awards forfeited with a previous employer as a result of transferring to the Company. The grant of such one-time recruitment award in cash or equity, or a combination thereof, shall be capped and not exceed a value equal to 200% of such executive's annual base salary.

The proposed recruitment award is being introduced pursuant to increased competition for executive talent in the technology sector, and specifically in the software sector. Our Compensation Committee and Board believe this tool is mandatory for effective competition over talented leaders in the industry. The Company’s ability to attract highly qualified, experienced and talented executives is crucial for the success and growth of its business. When granting such recruitment awards, the Compensation Committee and Board would seek not to pay more than necessary to secure the right candidate and would ensure any arrangements agreed would be in our shareholders’ best interests, including, if deemed appropriate, by linking such award to specific performance conditions or requiring a minimal term of employment to secure entitlement to such award.

Part III, Section 2 – it is proposed to raise the annual cap placed on the value of equity-based compensation of the Company’s non-executive directors from US$200,000 to US$230,000 (and with respect to our Chairman, proportionally pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Policy). Our Compensation Committee and Board last reviewed our directors’ compensation in comparison to peer group companies in 2015, and since the Company has grown substantially over the last three years (as detailed in Item 5 below), a comparison study was conducted by the Company for an up-to-date evaluation of directors’ compensation at comparable peer group companies – see the Peer Group Study (as defined below in Item 5). Based on the Peer Group Study and taking into consideration the Company’s growth over the last three years, the Compensation Committee and Board deem it to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to increase the cap set forth in the Compensation Policy for equity based compensation to our non-executive directors and Chairman of the Board as aforementioned. The proposed cap is within the median range of the Peer Group in terms of equity awards and represents a 15% increase of the cap for equity awards to our non-executive directors and Chairman. The Compensation Committee and Board believe that the proposed increase is required in order for the Company to be competitive and properly equipped to attract and maintain qualified directors, with relevant expertise and experience, who can contribute to the continued growth and success of the Company.

In light of the foregoing, the Compensation Committee and Board have approved and recommend that our shareholders approve, the Amended Policy.

It is proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:

“RESOLVED, that the Amended Policy, in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Company’s Proxy Statement, be, and it hereby is, approved.”

Required Vote

Under the Israeli Companies Law, approval of a compensation policy or an amendment thereto, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter; provided that either (i) the shares voted in favor include a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not “controlling shareholders” and do not have a "personal interest" in such matter pursuant to the requirements and as defined under the Israeli Companies Law; or (ii) that the total number of Shares voted by shareholders who are not “controlling shareholders” and do not have a "personal interest" in such matter against such resolution does not exceed two percent of the outstanding Shares.

The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on the proposed resolution indicate whether or not the shareholder is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest in the proposed resolution. Otherwise, the votes of such shareholder may not be counted. For a discussion of personal interests and voting procedures with respect thereto, please see Item 2 above, under the caption “Required Vote”.

The Board recommends a vote FOR approval of the proposed resolution.

ITEM 4

APPROVAL OF EQUITY AWARDS TO THE COMPANY'S NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

Background

The compensation for our non-executive directors is comprised of cash and equity components. The cash component was most recently approved at the 2015 annual general meeting of shareholders. For details regarding the terms of the directors’ cash compensation, please see Item 1 above.

According to the Israeli Companies Law, which differs in this respect from the US law, the approval of our directors’ compensation terms requires, in addition to the approval by our compensation committee and Board, the approval of our shareholders. Our recent practice was to have annual equity based awards of our non-executive directors approved by our shareholders at each annual shareholder meeting.

Our Compensation Committee and Board have approved, and resolved to recommend that our shareholders approve, a new equity award mechanism, whereby our directors, as appointed from time to time, including our outside directors, and our Chairman of the Board, would be entitled to a set annual equity award. Our Compensation Committee and Board believe that the new mechanism for annual equity awards, along with the already approved cash component, would align our directors’ compensation with the common practice implemented by our global peers, recognizing the time, attention, and expertise required by our directors, and setting the foundation for attracting the most qualified and experienced directors in our industry.

Accordingly, commencing as of this Meeting (inclusive of this Meeting), each of the Company’s non-executive directors, including each outside director and the Chairman (whether currently in office or appointed in the future), shall, on the date of each annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company, be granted an annual equity award under the terms further detailed below without the need for further approval (in addition to the previously approved cash compensation). Such equity award shall not be linked to performance conditions, to ensure that the directors’ independence is not jeopardized. In case a board member is appointed in between annual meetings – the equity award will be granted on the date of his or her appointment and will be pro-rated according to the part of the year that has passed since the previous annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company, as detailed below. In case a director’s appointment is terminated prior to the end of the term, for any reason, the vesting schedule of such equity award (i.e., quarterly vesting for Market Value Options and full term for RSUs or Par-Value Options, as defined below) assures that any unvested equity upon such date of termination will be forfeited.

Consistent with the type and number of equity awards previously granted to our directors, as approved by our shareholders over the last three years, the mechanism for annual equity awards to each director (other than the Chairman) shall comprise of a mix of Options to purchase Shares at an exercise price equal to the “Market Value” (as defined below) (the “Market-Value Options”) and Par-Value Options or RSUs (based on the jurisdiction of the applicable director-grantee), as follows: (1) 6,000 Market-Value Options, having a value, as of the date of this Proxy, of approximately US$101,786; and (2) 1,500 Par-Value Options or RSUs, having a value, as of the date of this Proxy, of approximately US$138,600. The annual equity award to the Chairman shall comprise of: (1) 18,000 Market-Value Options with a value, as of the date of this Proxy, of approximately US$305,359; and (2) 3,000 Par-Value Options or RSUs with a value, as of the date of this Proxy, of approximately US$277,200.

The annual equity awards to each director and to the Chairman – each an “Annual Award”.

To the extent that the “Equity Value” (as defined under the Compensation Policy) of the above-mentioned grants exceed the maximum cap set under the Compensation Policy (i.e., US$200,000 and, to the extent the Amended Policy is approved, US$230,000 and with respect to our Chairman, three times this amount) (the "Cap"), then the equity grant recommended above shall be reduced so that its value is equal to the Cap, while maintaining the same ratio between Market-Value Options and RSUs (with fractional units resulting from such reduction being rounded downwards).

The Annual Award will be granted on the date of each annual general meeting of shareholders (including this Meeting), or when such director or Chairman is appointed (the “Date of Grant”), according to the following terms:

(a)	The exercise price of the Market-Value Options will be equal to the average closing price per share of one ADS of the Company as quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market during the 30 consecutive calendar days preceding the date of grant (the “Market Value”).

(b)	The Par-Value Options or RSUs shall have an exercise price of NIS 1.00 per share, which is the par value of each Share.

(c)	The equity awards will be granted under the Company’s 2016 Share Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), or under any other then-current share incentive plan of the Company.

(d)	The expiration date of the options shall be six years from the date of grant.

(e)

The Market-Value Options will vest in four equal three-month installments over twelve months commencing as of their Date of Grant, and the Par-Value Options or RSUs will vest upon the earlier of either: (i) twelve months from their Date of Grant; or (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders, provided that the applicable director-grantee is still a director of the Company on the applicable vesting date.

(f)	The Annual Awards will be subject to the provisions of the Compensation Policy, as amended from time to time, including the claw-back provisions set forth therein.

(g)

If a non-executive director or the Chairman of the Board will be appointed between the annual general meetings of the shareholders of the Company, such director shall be entitled to an Annual Award of options and Par-Value Options or RSUs, reflecting a grant date value equal to the difference between: (i) the value (as of the Date of Grant thereof) of the full Annual Award granted to each of the non-executive directors or the Chairman of the Board, as applicable, on the date of the last annual meeting of the shareholders; and (ii) the quotient of the value of such full Annual Award divided by 12 - and then multiplied by the number of months (including partial months) during the period between the last annual meeting of shareholders and the date of such appointment.

In such event: (i) the number of Par-Value Options or RSUs to be granted as aforementioned, shall be calculated by dividing the value of the applicable Par-Value Options or RSUs by the closing price per share of one ADR of the Company as quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the trading day immediately prior to the Date of Grant; (ii) the number of Market-Value Options to be granted shall be calculated by dividing the value of the applicable Market-Value Option award by the grant date value of one Market-Value Option on the Date of Grant; provided that fractional options or units resulting from such calculations in (i) and (ii) above shall be rounded downwards.

(h)	For assumptions and key variables used in the calculation of the equity grant date value, see note 13b of our audited consolidated financial statements for 2017, forming part of our Annual Report on Form 20-F, which was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018.

As aforementioned, such equity grant shall also be made to each of the Company's currently serving outside directors pursuant to a resolution of the shareholders from the Company’s 2007 annual shareholders meeting, determining that outside directors shall receive compensation identical to that granted from time to time to other directors of the Company, including equity based compensation.

The value of the equity awards for our directors was examined by the Compensation Committee and the Board and evaluated in accordance with the Peer Group Study further detailed above, taking into account the equity award type and value, as well as the full compensation package of the directors. Following due consideration, our Compensation Committee and Board have determined that the value of our directors’ total compensation, along with proposed Annual Award and taking into account the applicable cap in the Policy, is within the median range of total director compensation provided by peer companies examined pursuant to the Peer Group Study, and that any increase in value of the Annual Awards in comparison to previous years, is merited, as it is a direct result of the Company’s consistent strategic success and the subsequent increase of the Company’s share price and market cap during the such period. The decision to approve a set number of units for the directors’ annual grants (with a cap on the total value of the grant to each director), was designed in order to limit the dilutive effect that may occur if our share price decreases, and in order to limit the total value of the grant in the event of an increase in the share price.

The Company has historically been very conservative and cautious with respect to maintaining low levels of dilution in relation to its share-based compensation plans, and has ensured that the level of dilution on a fully diluted basis (i.e., including outstanding awards granted to employees, along with any authorized pool for equity based compensation), be less than 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. Over the last few years, the Company has even managed to decrease its dilution levels and has been well below the 10% threshold. Our Compensation Committee and Board remain committed to maintaining such low levels of dilution, below the 10% threshold, in respect of the Company’s share-based compensation plans.

The Board believes that this proposal is in the best interest of the Company, and that the proposed mechanism for annual equity awards aligns the interests of our directors with those of our shareholders.

It is proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:

“RESOLVED, that the proposed mechanism of annual equity grants of Market-Value Options and RSUs or Par Value Options to our non-executive directors, including to our Chairman, pursuant to the terms as set forth in Item 4 of the Proxy Statement, be, and the same hereby is, approved.”

Required Vote

Under the Israeli Companies Law, approval of director compensation that is consistent with the Company’s existing compensation policy requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and voting on the matter.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of this proposed resolution.

ITEM 5

RENEWAL OF OUR CEO’s EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, the terms of office and employment of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) are required to be approved by the Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company, in that order. The terms of employment of our CEO, Mr. Barak Eilam, were approved by the shareholders on May 27, 2014 and amended by the shareholders on July 9, 2015, May 21, 2016 and June 27, 2017.

Since the appointment of Mr. Eilam as the Company’s CEO four years ago, at the beginning of 2014, the Company has gone through a significant transformation. The Company successfully executed two significant divestitures, which allowed the Company to gain strategic focus. In addition the Company successful acquired and integrated several companies, including the transformative acquisition of inContact, which accelerated our penetration of the cloud-based services arena and broadened the overall scope of our customer engagement business. In parallel, the Company’s revenues, operating profits and margins have grown significantly.

To illustrate the actual transformation that Mr. Eilam has led, see below the charts indicating our Company’s growth between the end of 2013 and the end of 2017 and the shareholder value created in that period:

Along with the transformation of the Company, the scope and role of Mr. Eilam as our CEO has also transformed, effectively making him a CEO of a much larger enterprise (e.g. the Company grew from approximately 3,400 employees at the end of 2013 to approximately 5,200 employees as of December 31, 2017). On the background of this success and transformation, our Compensation Committee and Board have looked forward into renewing our CEO’s commitment and retain him with the Company for at least four more years.

Accordingly, our Compensation Committee and Board decided to provide Mr. Eilam with a new four-year compensation package, taking into account also that the on boarding package granted to Mr. Eilam during his appointment in 2014 has now fully vested. The Compensation Committee and Board believe that such compensation package will create a long-term retention effect, strongly incentivizing our CEO to link his future with our Company, while motivating him to continue pushing the Company to overachieve for its shareholders.

In order to evaluate the Compensation terms for our CEO’s new four-year compensation package, and given our Company’s substantive growth during the last four years, as illustrated above, our Compensation Committee and Board reviewed benchmark information relating to the compensation of chief executive officers of peer group companies that is based on (i) surveys conducted in 2017 by Radford, an international compensation surveying company, targeting software companies and peer companies in our industry on a global basis; and (ii) on the Peer Group Study (together, the “Benchmark Information”).

The Peer Group study included 11 peer group companies as detailed below (the “Peer Group”). The Peer Group is comprised of software technology companies that are global and publicly traded, and that are generally comparable to the Company in terms of revenues and market cap (the “Peer Group Study”).

Aspen Technology, Inc.	Blackbaud, Inc.
Black Knight, Inc.	Fair Isaac Corp
Guidewire Software, Inc.	Nuance Communications, Inc.
Nutanix, Inc.	PTC, Inc.
Verint Systems Inc.	Splunk Inc.
Tableau Software, INC.

Accordingly, our Compensation Committee and Board propose to offer our CEO a new compensation package as detailed below. The intention of our Compensation Committee and Board is that following the adoption of the proposed new four-year compensation plan, no additional changes to our CEO’s compensation package will be made during the next four years.

The vast majority of the compensation received by our CEO under his annual compensation terms, is not guaranteed at the date of award and is either at risk (annual cash bonus and performance based RSUs) or tied to his continued employment and to our share price (time based and performance based RSUs) assuring a strong correlation between pay and performance. In 2017, approximately 87% of our CEO's compensation was attributed to such variable components.

Adjustment to Base Salary and Target MBO

The Compensation Committee and Board recommend to our shareholders to approve that Mr. Eilam's annual base salary will be increased from $625,000 to $750,000. The Compensation Committee and Board believe this shall reflect the appropriate base salary for a leading CEO of a global software company, taking into consideration the Benchmark Information. Mr. Eilam’s annual target bonus shall continue to be 100% of his annual base salary. No additional increases to the base salary shall be made during the next four years.

The last increase made to our CEO’s base salary was in 2016, in connection with his relocation to the US. As further detailed in the 2016 proxy statement, the base salary increase at that time was made as part of his relocation to the US and intended to align Mr. Eilam’s base salary with US based CEO salaries of comparable companies (also reflecting the decrease in the value of employee benefits, which are higher in Israel).

CEO Annual Equity Grant

Following the approval by our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors approved and resolved to recommend to our shareholders to approve, that commencing in 2018 and for a period of three years thereafter (2018 through 2020), our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors may approve annual equity based grants for Mr. Eilam under the Award Framework (as defined below), without the need for further approvals by the shareholders for each such future grant.

It is clarified, that any award granted under the Framework shall be consistent with the Compensation Policy and shall also be subject to the Company remaining below the 10% dilution threshold (as further detailed in item 4 above).

For year 2018, our Compensation Committee and Board approved, and resolved to recommend to our shareholders to approve, the grant of 57,000 RSUs under the terms of the framework further detailed below (34,200 RSUs and 22,800 PRSUs). The grant date fair value of the grant, (which assumes all RSU and PRSUs will vest), is, as of the date hereof, approximately $5.27 Million. If approved by the shareholders, Mr. Eilam's grant will be effective as of the date of its approval by the shareholders, while the vesting of the RSUs will begin as of the date of the Board Resolution (February 14, 2018) .

The annual equity awards will be granted within the following framework (the “Award Framework”), consistent with the Company’s practice over the last couple of years:

The structure (including the performance criteria) will be determined by our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors and will generally be as detailed below, consistent with the Company's Compensation Policy and with the equity grant strategy that applies to all of our executive officers.

The annual grants shall be made in RSUs, where at least 40% of the RSUs shall be subject to performance based vesting criteria (“PRSUs”).

The RSUs shall vest over a period of four years in four equal annual installments beginning upon the first anniversary of the date of its approval by the Board (and with respect to the PRSUs – also conditioned upon the achievement of the performance criteria), and then on each of the three subsequent anniversaries thereafter.

The performance criteria of the PRSUs shall be based on year-over-year improvement of the Company's financial performance, i.e. operating income per share and of the Company's revenues with respect to the base line of the previous year’s financial results. The year-over-year rate of improvement required in order to reach the performance vesting criteria is binary, so that there is no partial achievement with respect to the performance criteria. The performance criteria are set at a challenging performance level that is required to be achieved over a period of four years. The performance award also includes an overachievement opportunity in each year, so that if performance is overachieved during the applicable cumulative period in relation to the base line, the performance criteria will be deemed to have been met at such earlier time, but the PRSUs shall still be subject to any remaining time based vesting. The performance is evaluated following the announcement of our financial results for each such year. The PRSUs can either, upon achievement of the performance criteria, become qualified for vesting subject to the time-based vesting element, or entirely expire. The performance criteria and targets of our CEO’s awards are commercially sensitive, and their disclosure would be detrimental to the interests of the Company and its shareholders alike. However, the Board shall consider whether to disclose the performance criteria and targets in retrospect, once their disclosure is no longer detrimental to the interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The value of each annual grant shall not exceed 800% of our CEO’s base salary (which is the cap set in our Compensation Policy). Even in the event that the full value of the award will be granted in a certain year, the total value of our CEO’s target compensation shall still be lower than the median of the Peer Group Study. All of the general RSUs' terms not set forth herein shall be in accordance with the 2016 Plan.

For information relating to the value of Mr. Eilam’s compensation, including equity grants, with respect to the year ended December 31, 2017, please see "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees – B. Compensation – Executive Officer and Director Compensation" in our Annual Report for 2017 on Form 20-F, which was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018.

Other than as set forth above, all of our CEO's other terms of employment (including the terms relating to his termination) remain as previously approved by our shareholders and will apply to the new four-year contract offered for our CEO under this Item 5. For additional information with respect to Mr. Eilam's existing terms of employment, see Item 3 in the proxy statement for the general meeting of the shareholders held May 27, 2014, Item 7 in the proxy statement for the general meeting of the shareholders held July 9, 2015, item 5, in the proxy statement for the general meeting of the shareholders held May 21, 2016 and item 4, in the proxy statement for the general meeting of the shareholders held June 27, 2017.

Special Long Term Incentive Equity Award

Looking forward into the Company’s next four years, our Compensation Committee and our Board believe that Mr. Eilam is the best candidate to lead our Company into the future and have decided to provide him with a special one-time equity award, which is linked to the continuous achievement by the Company of its long term growth and profitability targets and to the creation of long term shareholder value, while also providing a strong retention effect, considering also that our CEO’s on boarding grant from 2014 has now fully vested. This special one-time equity award is a non-recurring award that is separate from Mr. Eilam’s ongoing annual compensation package.

Accordingly, the award is structured as a specially tailored equity award, which includes a significant performance element and a long term vesting mechanism, where the majority of the value is only paid out after the full four-year period. The proposed award also includes an opportunity for overachievement, by including a mechanism whereby the awarded RSUs will be multiplied by a certain modifier, which shall be determined based on our relative TR performance as further detailed below. Under such overachievement mechanism, the number of RSUs received will increase in relation to the level in which the Company performs in relation to the market in terms of TR. In recommending this special one-time grant, our Compensation Committee and our Board took into consideration also the fact that our target annual compensation package, detailed above - totals more than 10% below the median of the Peer Group Study.

The Company shall grant our CEO a special long-term equity award, of 100,000 RSUs (the “LTI RSUs”) all of which shall have an special extended vesting period, where 50% of the LTI RSUs shall vest two years following the Board Approval Date (as defined below) and the remaining LTI RSUs, as well as the Overachievement RSUs (as defined below), shall vest only four years following their Board Approval Date. The vesting schedule stresses the long-term effect and retention element that the special award in designed to create by setting a 2-year cliff and setting the opportunity to receive the majority of the potential award only after the full 4-year period.

40,000 of the LTI RSUs shall be subject to performance conditions which shall include the same performance criteria as detailed above with respect to the proposed 2018 equity award.

In addition, the LTI RSUs shall be subject to a special overachievement mechanism where our CEO shall be entitled to receive, at the end of the full four-year period, up to an additional amount of 25,000 RSUs per each year, as further detailed below, in relation to the degree in which the Company performs in relation to the Total Return (“TR”) of the S&P Software and Services Select Industry Index (the “Index”) in each such respective year (the “Overachievement RSUs”).

The overachievement mechanism, shall evaluate our Company’s performance in terms of TR for each of the four years for which the special equity award applies. The overachievement shall be evaluated in each year with respect to 25,000 of the LTI RSUs by calculating the Company’s percentage of change in TR during such calendar year (commencing 2018) in relation to the percentage of change in the TR of the Index for such year (calculating the average TR of the Company during the 60 days immediately prior to the beginning of each calendar year for the base line TR and the 60 days immediately prior to the end of each calendar year for the performance result) and when overachievement occurs applying a modifier to such RSUs, implemented as detailed below.

No modifier shall be applied and there will be no overachievement with respect to the 25,000 RSUs attributed to that year, if the Company’s TR during such year will be negative.

As long as the Company’s TR is not negative:

·	If the Company’s percentage of change in TR during a certain calendar year will be equal to 1.5% below the percentage of change in TR of the Index (the “Threshold”), a modifier of 10% shall be applied to such year’s 25,000 RSUs (i.e. the total number of RSUs shall increase by 2,500 RSUs).

If the Company’s percentage of change in TR is between (i) the Threshold; and (ii) the Index (i.e. Company’s TR is equal to the Index’s TR) – then, in addition to the 10% factor applied for reaching the threshold, for each 0.1 percentage unit above the Threshold, an additional 1% shall be added to the modifier (e.g. if the Index’s TR increased by 10%, while the Company’s TR increased by 9%, Company’s change in TR is 1% below the Index’s change in TR, a modifier of 15% shall be applied, 10% for reaching the Threshold and 5% for each of the 0.1 percentage units above the Threshold).

If the Company’s percentage of change in TR is between (i) the Index; and (ii) 3% above the Index, then, in addition to the 25% factor applied for reaching the Index, for each 0.1 percentage unit above the Index, an additional 2.5% shall be added to the modifier (e.g. if Company’s percentage of change in TR is 2% above the Index’s TR, a modifier of 75% shall be applied).

The maximum number of Overachievement RSUs that may be earned for each year shall be capped at 25,000 RSUs. In order to reach the maximum modifier for each year, the Company’s TR must be 3% above the Index’s TR.

No modifier shall be applied and there will be no overachievement with respect to the 25,000 RSUs attributed to that year, if the Company’s percentage of change in TR during such year will be below the applicable threshold. All Overachievement RSUs granted under the above overachievement mechanism shall be received by our CEO only at the fourth anniversary of the Board Approval Date.

The maximum number of LTI RSUs that may be awarded to our CEO, if the LTI RSUs’ that are also subject to performance criteria have been achieved, and in addition, all of the Overachievement RSUs are earned, shall be 200,000 RSUs over a four-year period. The annualized value of the LTI RSUs over their four-year term, using the grant date fair value, is approximately $2.31 million for each year and the annualized value of the Over-achievement RSUs over their four-year term, using the grant date fair value, is approximately $970,000 for each year. In the event that the performance criteria of the performance based LTI RSUs’ have not been achieved – then any over-achievement modifier that is applied to the LTI RSUs shall only be applied to the 60,000 time based LTI RSUs.

This special long-term equity award shall be subject to double trigger acceleration under our CEO’s existing double trigger mechanism, provided however that the acceleration shall only apply to a pro-rated portion of the LTI RSUs – determined in accordance with the relative period of time that has passed between the Date of Grant and the closing of the triggering transaction. Upon the closing of the triggering transaction, the Company shall evaluate its change in TR up to such time (evaluating the performance of each full year and of the 90 consecutive days immediately preceding the announcement of the deal) and shall apply the applicable modifier under the same terms specified above upon the pro-rated portion of the RSUs that are subject to acceleration so as to determine the total number of RSUs that shall be accelerated.

The Board of Directors approved the proposed grant of this special one-time equity award on April 3, 2018 (the "Board Approval Date"). If approved by the shareholders, Mr. Eilam's grant will be effective as of the date of its approval by the shareholders, while the vesting of the RSUs will begin as of the Board Approval Date.

The Company has also received an analysis from a reputable international corporate governance advisory institution, which evaluated the Company under methodologies that are common in the US for evaluating CEO's compensation in relation to performance – the analysis indicated a strong alignment between company performance and CEO pay.

The proposed terms of our CEO’s annual compensation presented above are within the authority granted under the terms of the Compensation Policy. As the proposed special incentive award to our CEO is intended to be a special, one-time, award that is granted outside of his regular annual compensation terms (and is not intended as to reflect our regular policy for compensating our executives) such award is not covered by the Compensation Policy.

It is proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:

"RESOLVED, that the proposed components of Mr. Eilam's new 4 year contract, as described in Item 5 of the Proxy Statement and upon the terms detailed therein, be, and they hereby are, approved."
