## Extract — verbatim quotes from the filing
### Corporate history (the etymology of "NICE" and the company's 38-year arc)
> "NICE was founded on September 28, 1986, as Neptune Intelligent Computer Engineering Ltd., with the vision to digitize unstructured data previously captured using analog means. On October 14, 1991, the Company was renamed NICE-Systems Ltd., expanding its mission to the Customer Service market, becoming a leading global provider of Workforce Optimization software applications, as well as adding solutions for the Public Safety and Justice sector. With the increased quantity of available data and the growing need to generate meaningful business insight, NICE launched Interaction Analytics solutions - allowing organizations to quickly understand and operationalize their interaction data. In 2007, NICE acquired Actimize, a leader in Financial Crime and Compliance analytics solutions, aimed to help prevent market abuse, financial fraud and money laundering, transforming the company into an enterprise software analytics leader. Since 2014, NICE has emerged as a leader in cloud, analytics, digital and AI through innovations and strategic acquisitions. In 2016, NICE acquired inContact, a leading provider of cloud contact center software and agent optimization tools, enabling the industry's first fully integrated and complete cloud contact center solution platform. Subsequently, NICE became an industry leader, helping organizations innovate with AI-powered cloud platforms, designed to unify all data and capabilities for ultimate business results. Since 2019, as consumer expectations are shifting to digital CX, NICE vastly extended the reach of its offering with a series of organic innovations as well as acquisitions of leading Digital & AI Customer Experience solutions, expanding its business reach beyond the contact center, providing organizations with AI-powered digital and automated self-service solutions to address customers' evolving needs."
### Principal offices and US subsidiary
> "Our Israeli offices are located at 13 Zarchin Street, P.O. Box 690, Ra'anana 4310602, Israel (Tel. +972-9-775-3151). Our subsidiary, NICE Systems, Inc. has been appointed as our Agent for Service in the United States, and is located at 221 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030."
### Headquarters real estate footprint
> "Our Israeli headquarters in Ra'anana occupies approximately 165,000 square feet."
> "Our North American headquarters in Hoboken, New Jersey, occupies approximately 60,000 square feet"
### Foreign-private-issuer status
> "We are incorporated in Israel and therefore are subject to various corporate governance practices under the Israeli Companies Law, relating to such matters as outside directors, the internal audit committee, the internal auditor and approvals of interested party transactions."
> "Except as discussed below, under the Israeli Companies Law companies incorporated under the laws of Israel whose shares have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel are required to appoint at least two 'outside' directors."
## Notes
- Tier: 2 — primary public record (SEC filing by the issuer).
- The 38-year corporate history quoted above establishes the chain that produced today's NICE product portfolio: the original 1986 "Neptune Intelligent Computer Engineering Ltd." → the 1991 "NICE-Systems Ltd." (already touching Public Safety and Justice) → the 2007 Actimize acquisition (Financial Crime & Compliance) → the 2016 inContact acquisition (cloud contact center / CXone). The **NICE Investigate** product line that LRPD purchased via Order 00479378 traces to the **Public Safety and Justice** vertical that the company began serving after the 1991 rename.
- The 20-F explicitly establishes that **NICE Systems, Inc.** (the Hoboken, NJ entity that signs the LRPD MRA — see [[NICE Investigate (MRA and Order 00479378)]]) is the US subsidiary and Agent for Service of NICE Ltd. (the Israeli parent / SEC registrant). The two are legally distinct but commercially unified.
- The full 20-F runs ~200 pages with detailed segment financials, risk factors, and corporate governance disclosures. Specific sections (Item 4 Business Overview, Risk Factors, Item 19 Exhibits) are available in the original `.htm` file.
- The 2026-02-26 20-F (accession 0001003935-26-000010, 90 MB) covering FY2025 is also available; identical corporate identity.
