Sapiens International Corporation (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS), a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, with a growing presence in the financial services sector, today announced that it has entered into agreements with Israeli accredited investors for the private placement of additional principal amounts of the Company's Series B Debentures, for aggregate proceeds of NIS 45.65 million (approximately US $12.9 million).

The issuance of these additional Series B Debentures is subject to the approval of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange for the listing for trading thereon. Once issued, the terms of these additional Series B Debentures will echo, for all purposes, the terms of the Series B Debentures recently offered publicly by Sapiens in Israel.

"We are very pleased that we are able to complete the sale of the entirety of our Series B debenture series in Israel as planned," said Roni Al-Dor, President and CEO of Sapiens. "The additional, private sales of debentures reinforce the market's confidence in our ability to utilize the proceeds from this offering properly and to repay this long-term debt in a timely manner.

Al-Dor added: "As with the public offering of debentures, the proceeds from these private-placed debentures will also be utilized for general corporate purposes, including repayment of our existing bank loan, strengthening our balance sheet, providing us with additional working capital to support our development needs, and pursuing additional M&A business opportunities as they arise."
