The Boards of Directors of Comverse and Amdocs have approved the transaction which, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to closing, is expected to be completed before end of September 2015.
Amdocs is purchasing a substantial majority of Comverse’s BSS assets and will maintain and support Comverse customers around the world.
