Redwood City, CA —

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced that it has reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the class action litigation currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The litigation was brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased Check Point common stock between July 10, 2001 and April 4, 2002. The class action plaintiffs have also dismissed from the lawsuit the officers and directors, without prejudice, who were named as defendants in the class action.

The settlement of $13 million will be paid by Check Point's insurance carrier and will have no financial impact on the company. The settlement is subject to court approval.

Check Point denies committing any violation of law or wrongdoing and entered into the settlement solely to avoid the burden and distraction, of protracted discovery and litigation.
