Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 28, 2005, Net2Phone, Inc. received a letter from IDT Corporation notifying the Net2Phone Board of Directors that IDT intends to make an offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Net2Phone not owned by IDT or its affiliates, at a price of $1.70 per share, net to the sellers in cash, without interest. IDT states that it currently, directly and indirectly, owns securities representing approximately 41% of Net2Phone's outstanding equity securities and approximately 57% of the total voting power of Net2Phone's outstanding equity securities.
In light of the relationship between Net2Phone and IDT, the Board of Directors of Net2Phone formed a committee of independent directors in 2004 to review, evaluate and approve or disapprove of agreements and other material issues arising from time to time between IDT and Net2Phone. The Independent Committee has retained The Blackstone Group as its financial advisor and Kirkland & Ellis LLP as its legal counsel. The Independent Committee intends to carefully review the IDT proposal and potential alternatives and will respond to the proposal upon completion of its review. However, there can be no assurance as to the timeframe for the Independent Committee process nor whether any transaction will result.
A copy of Net2Phone’s related press release dated June 29, 2005 is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
