Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

In a year that brought continued economic challenges to companies in and out of the IT sector, I am very happy to share the significant accomplishments that Check Point has achieved over the past year.

We have maintained solid financial performance, grown our leadership in virtually every market we participate in and made strides into new and emerging markets. We also expanded our technology partnerships with some of the largest companies in the world and continued to deliver innovative solutions, such as our recent release of Next Generation™ with Application Intelligence™, which set Check Point apart from all other security vendors and, more importantly, solved real customer challenges.

Today, millions of users around the world rely on Internet security solutions from Check Point to secure their business communications. In fact, we've installed our security solutions at hundreds of thousands of sites globally, including 97% of the Fortune 100 companies. It's this success and our innovative technologies that have led us to the position of proven market leader, allowing us to continue to drive the evolution of this industry with intelligent, cutting-edge solutions that consistently raise the bar for Internet security.
