Sapiens reported today to the Israel Securities Authority ("ISA") and the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") that the Company is considering a public offering in Israel of a new series of debentures-Series B Debentures (the "Debentures") - pursuant to a shelf prospectus that Sapiens filed today in Israel. If offered, the Debentures will be denominated in U.S. dollars.

Any such offering would require the filing of a supplementary shelf offering report, which itself is subject to certain approvals. The offering of Debentures would be made solely in Israel, pursuant to Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.

"This is part of our continuous effort to optimize our balance sheet and capital structure. We are looking to raise new long term debt which will also replace our current bank loan with longer maturity debt, and to lock in a long-term interest rate".

Al-Dor added: "Our goal is to strengthen our balance sheet, to provide additional working capital to support our customers' development needs and to continue to pursue M&A business opportunities we see ahead".
