Level 8 Systems Announces Approval of Recapitalization

CARY, NC, November 20, 2006 – Level 8 Systems, Inc. announced that its shareholders approved a plan of recapitalization at a special shareholder meeting held on November 16, 2006. Under that plan, shareholders authorized: changing the company’s name to Cicero, Inc.; authorizing the board of directors to effectuate a reverse stock split within a range of 20:1 to 100:1, increasing the authorized common stock of the company from 85 million to 215 million shares; converting existing preferred stock into a new Series A-1 preferred stock of Cicero, Inc.; and converting more than $6.5 million of debt to equity.

“This is a significant milestone for our organization,” said John Broderick, Chief Executive Officer. “This recapitalization strengthens our balance sheet and allows us to grow our business and expand our customer base. We believe that our Cicero™ product is the preeminent solution in the desktop integration market, and that we are now positioned to build on that premise in the marketplace.”

Cicero is a unique solution to provide rapid and seamless integration of disparate systems on end-user desktops. It is a non-invasive desktop integration product that has a proven record in contact centers and government agencies for improving the use of technology, enhancing customer service, streamlining business processes, and reducing costs while improving revenue opportunities. Cicero has been installed at several Fortune 500 companies.

Due to improved agent productivity and shorter call times, the savings in the contact centers exceeded $1 million in a single year, an ROI of less than five months.
