Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
On March 8, 2011, VeriFone Systems, Inc. (the "Company") received notice that the United States District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed, with prejudice, the consolidated shareholder securities class actions against the Company and certain of its officers and directors captioned, "In re VeriFone Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation," case number C 07-6140 MHP.

The lawsuit is a consolidation of a number of shareholder securities class actions which were filed against the Company after the Company announced its 2007 restatement of certain of its quarterly financial results.

Since the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, plaintiffs will not be able to amend and re-file their complaint. Plaintiffs have the right to appeal the court's order.
