INFORMATION STATEMENT
IDT Corporation 520 Broad Street Newark, NJ 07102
March 21, 2006 | ||
Dear Stockholder:
This Information Statement is being distributed to notify the stockholders of record of IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (we, us, our or the Company) that our Board of Directors has approved and recommended to our stockholders, and our stockholder holding a majority of the aggregate voting power of (i) our Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (iii) Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (we refer to the Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock collectively as the Capital Stock) has adopted an amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the Amendment). On March 3, 2006, Mr. Howard S. Jonas, our Chairman of the Board, delivered to us a written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders representing approximately 61% of the voting power of the Capital Stock, adopting the Amendment.
When effective, the Amendment will amend Article Fifth of the Restated Articles of Incorporation to provide that each of our directors, rather than serving for a term of three years in one of three classes of our directors, shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders following such directors election and until his or her successor is elected and qualified (subject, however, to prior death or incapacity, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office).
This Information Statement is being mailed on or about March 22, 2006, to the holders of record of our Capital Stock on March 3, 2006 (the Record Date), the record date set by our Board of Directors for determining the stockholders eligible to receive this Information Statement. This Information Statement is being distributed to you, our stockholders, in accordance with the requirements of Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The Information Statement describes in greater detail the changes to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under the Exchange Act, the Amendment will not become effective until twenty calendar days following the date on which this Information Statement was sent to our stockholders.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS |
Joyce J. Mason Senior Vice President, |
ACTION BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
Description of Amendment
The Restated Certificated of Incorporation is amended to provide that each of our directors, rather than serving for a term of three years in one of our three classes of directors, shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders following such directors election and until his or her successor is elected and qualified (subject, however, to prior death or incapacity, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office). This Amendment is reflected in Article Fifth of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
Approval by our Board of Directors
In accordance with Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), on January 30, 2006, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the Amendment and recommended adoption of the Amendment to the our stockholders.
Amendment is in the Best Interest of the Company and its Stockholders
Our Board of Directors believes that the Amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation is in the best interests of the Company because requiring our directors to stand for re-election after serving one-year terms will increase director accountability to our stockholders and provide our stockholders greater flexibility in electing our directors.
Approval by Stockholders
Pursuant to Section 242 of the DGCL, the Amendment must be approved by the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the Capital Stock. In order to obtain the required approval of our stockholders, we could have either convened a special meeting of the stockholders of the Capital Stock for the specific purpose of voting on the Amendment, or we could have sought written consent from the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the Capital Stock. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting, we determined to utilize the written consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the Capital Stock. The elimination of the need for a special meeting of stockholders to approve the Amendment is made possible by Section 228 of the DGCL, which provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders of a Delaware corporation may be taken without a meeting if stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the corporation execute a written consent approving such action.
As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding: 9,816,988 shares of Class A Common Stock (each with three votes per share), 15,453,073 shares of Common Stock (each with one vote per share) and 70,971,356 shares of Class B Common Stock (each with one-tenth of one vote per share). As of the Record Date, Howard S. Jonas beneficially owned 9,816,988 shares of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, 1,825,142 shares of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and 6,084,196 shares of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. Therefore, as of the Record Date, Howard S. Jonas was the holder of approximately 61% of the voting power of our outstanding Capital Stock. On March 3, 2006, Howard S. Jonas, our Chairman of the Board, delivered to us a written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders approving the Amendment. No further vote of our stockholders is required for the Company to effect the Amendment.
No Appraisal Rights
Stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our financial information is incorporated herein by reference to our annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q most recently filed with the SEC.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of (i) the Companys Common Stock (and Class A Common Stock, assuming conversion of all shares of Class A Common Stock into Common Stock), (ii) the Companys Class B Common Stock, and (iii) Common Stock of IDT Telecom, Inc. (and Class A Common Stock of IDT Telecom, assuming conversion of all shares of Class A Common Stock into Common Stock of IDT Telecom), a privately held subsidiary of the Company, by (A) each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (and Class A Common Stock, on an as-converted basis) or the Class B Common Stock of the Company, (B) each of the Companys directors and the Chief Executive Officer and the four most highly compensated executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) who were serving as executive officers as of July 31, 2005 (as well as Mr. Jonathan Levy, for whom such disclosure would have been provided but for the fact that Mr. Levy was not serving as an executive officer as of July 31, 2005), and (C) all directors and executive officers of the Company as a group. Unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the table, to the best of the Companys knowledge, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investing power with respect to all shares indicated as being beneficially owned by them. Certain options to purchase Class B Common Stock set forth in the footnotes below are eligible to be tendered to us by the holders of such options in the tender offer we launched for such options that is scheduled to expire on March 24, 2006, as set forth on the Schedule TO filed by us with the SEC on February 1, 2006 and the Amendment No. 1 thereto filed by us with the SEC on February 21, 2006, both incorporated herein by reference. The table below does not include beneficial ownership of the common stock or Class A common stock of Net2Phone, for which we recently completed a tender offer. On March 13, 2006, NTOP Acquisition, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, merged with and into Net2Phone and we acquired all of the capital stock of Net2Phone. Upon effectiveness of the merger, any options to purchase common stock of Net2Phone held by the individuals set forth in the table below were terminated.
Unless otherwise noted, the security ownership information is given as of March 3, 2006 and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based on the following amount of outstanding shares: (i) 25,270,061 shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all 9,816,988 currently outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into Common Stock); (ii) 70,971,356 shares of Class B Common Stock; and (iii) 157,500 shares of Common Stock of IDT Telecom (assuming the conversion of all 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of IDT Telecom into Common Stock of IDT Telecom).

(pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law)
IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation, hereby certifies as follows:
1. The name of the corporation is IDT Corporation (hereinafter the Corporation).
2. The Corporations Certificate of Incorporation was initially filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 22, 1995 and a Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed on February 7, 1996, and an amendment to the Restated Certificate was filed on July 3, 2000.
