Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On February 17, 2006, IDT, NTOP Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of IDT (“NTOP Acquisition”) and Net2Phone executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, NTOP Acquisition shall merge with and into Net2Phone (the “Merger”), following which the separate corporate existence of NTOP Acquisition shall cease and Net2Phone shall remain as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). As a result of the Merger, NTOP Acquisition shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Net2Phone (other than Shares already beneficially owned by IDT or as to which appraisal rights have been perfected under Delaware law), or approximately 13,721,297 Shares. As a result of the Merger, all such Shares shall be canceled, and the holders of such Shares shall have the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation $2.05 per Share in cash, without interest. In effecting the Merger, IDT shall acquire beneficial ownership of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock that it did not previously beneficially acquire pursuant to the tender offer by IDT and NTOP Acquisition relating to the Common Stock that expired on January 27, 2006, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock that it does not currently beneficially own.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of NTOP Acquisition shall be the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation, and the directors of NTOP Acquisition shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation. Following the consummation of the Merger, the Reporting Persons plan to (i) terminate the Issuer’s registration as a reporting company pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act and (ii) delist the Common Stock from quotation on the Nasdaq National Market.

The Merger Agreement is subject to certain conditions, such as the approval of the Merger and the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Net2Phone. IDT and NTOP Acquisition anticipate that all of such conditions shall be fulfilled.

A copy of the press release jointly issued by IDT and Net2Phone on February 17, 2006, announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 30.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IDT AND NET2PHONE AGREE TO MERGER;

NET2PHONE STOCKHOLDERS TO RECEIVE $2.05 PER SHARE IN CASH

NEWARK, NJ — February 17, 2006 — IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT, IDT.C), an international telecom, entertainment and technology company, and Net2Phone, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTOP), a leading Voice over IP (VoIP) enabler for service providers, jointly announced today that they have executed a merger agreement, dated February 17, 2006, providing for the acquisition of Net2Phone by IDT. Under the terms and subject to conditions described in the merger agreement, NTOP Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of IDT, would merge with and into Net2Phone, with Net2Phone continuing as the surviving corporation. If the merger is consummated, each issued and outstanding share of common stock and Class A common stock of Net2Phone, other than shares held by IDT or its subsidiaries or as to which dissenters’ rights have been perfected, will be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive $2.05 in cash, without interest. This is the same price per share paid by IDT in its tender offer for Net2Phone common stock that expired after a subsequent offer period on January 27, 2006, in which IDT acquired approximately 31.6 million Net2Phone shares.

Following the merger, Net2Phone will be a privately held, wholly-owned subsidiary of IDT, and shares of Net2Phone common stock will cease to be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act. The aggregate consideration payable in the merger would be approximately $28.1 million.

The transaction has been approved unanimously by both the Net2Phone board of directors, following the recommendation of the Independent Committee of the Net2Phone board of directors, and the IDT board of directors. During the course of its deliberations, the Independent Committee has been advised by Kirkland & Ellis, LLP as legal advisor and The Blackstone Group, L.P. as financial advisor. Prior to making its determination, the Independent Committee received the opinion of The Blackstone Group, L.P. that, as of February 16, 2006 and subject to certain qualifications set forth in the opinion, the consideration of $2.05 per share in cash, without interest, in the proposed merger is fair to the holders of shares of Net2Phone’s capital stock (other than IDT and its subsidiaries) from a financial point of view.

Net2Phone expects to file solicitation materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to seek stockholders’ written consents to approve and adopt the merger and the merger agreement as promptly as practicable, and expects to close the merger promptly following receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, subject to the closing conditions described in the merger agreement. The Net2Phone board of directors is recommending that Net2Phone’s stockholders approve the transaction.

As of February 1, 2006, Net2Phone shares beneficially owned by IDT represented approximately 87.2% of the voting power of Net2Phone’s outstanding capital stock. IDT has informed the Independent Committee that it intends to grant its consent in favor of the merger agreement and the merger. The consent of the shares controlled


by IDT is sufficient under Delaware law to adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger. Accordingly, if the other conditions in the merger agreement are satisfied, Net2Phone is likely to complete the merger whether or not its remaining shareholders grant their consent.
