Comverse Technology Inc. or CTI (CMVT, CMVT.PK) Wednesday announced its plans to distribute all the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Comverse, Inc., to its shareholders on a pro rata basis.

The distribution is subject to number of conditions including approval of CTI shareholders. After completion of the proposed distribution and prior to effect of any transaction that would eliminate the CTI holding company structure, current CTI shareholders would continue to hold their equity in CTI as well as own 100 percent of the equity of Comverse.
Tuesday, Comverse shares closed at $6.55 on the Nasdaq.
