On August 1, 2007, iBasis, Inc. (“iBasis”) and KPN B.V., (formerly KPN Telecom B.V.), a private limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“KPN”) entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement between the parties dated as of June 21, 2006, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 between the parties dated as of December 18, 2006 and as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 between the parties dated as of April 26, 2007 (collectively, the “Agreement”). As previously reported, pursuant to the Agreement, KPN will acquire that number of newly issued shares of iBasis common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), that shall represent, immediately after issuance, 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis on the date of closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the “Transaction”). Amendment No. 3 provides that the representations and warranties of both parties set forth in the Agreement are effective as of the date of Amendment No. 3, updates the disclosures qualifying the representations and warranties made by each party to the other and provides a revised classification of iBasis’ board of directors that would be in effect immediately following the Closing. In all other respects, the Agreement remains unchanged.
The foregoing description of Amendment No. 3 and the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements.

STOCKHOLDERS OF iBASIS ARE URGED TO READ ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, INCLUDING iBASIS’ PROXY STATEMENT, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT iBASIS, THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND RELATED MATTERS. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain the documents free of charge at the SEC’s web site, http://www.sec.gov, and iBasis’ stockholders will receive information at an appropriate time on how to obtain Transaction-related documents for free from iBasis and will be able to view such documents on the iBasis web site at www.ibasis.com.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the proposed Transaction between iBasis and KPN, including the statements regarding the Transaction and any other statements regarding the parties’ future expectations, beliefs, goals or prospects constitute forward-looking statements under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) should also be considered forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including the parties’ ability to consummate the Transaction due to regulatory restrictions, the failure to receive stockholder approval, issues related to iBasis’ stock option review, or other reasons, the ability of iBasis and KPN to successfully integrate their operations and employees, the ability to realize anticipated synergies, the emergence of new competitive initiatives resulting from rapid technological advances or changes in pricing in the market, business conditions and volatility and uncertainty in the markets that iBasis and KPN serve, and the other factors described in iBasis’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its most recently completed fiscal quarter and Annual Report on Form 10-K for its most recently completed fiscal year, and the Form 20-F filing of Koninklijke KPN N.V. filed with the SEC, all of which are available at www.sec.gov. Such forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and iBasis expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this release.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
