(a)As previously reported, on May 23, 2005, Talk America Holdings, Inc. and a subsidiary of Talk America entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with LDMI Telecommunications, Inc., pursuant to which Talk America will acquire LDMI. Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, at the closing of the acquisition transaction, the Talk America subsidiary will be merged into LDMI, LDMI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Talk America and, in exchange for all of the stock of LDMI, Talk America will pay $24 million in cash and issue 1.8 million shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share. The shares of Talk America common stock will be issued only to the eight holders of LDMI’s preferred stock (the “LDMI Preferred Stockholders”).The Acquisition Agreement and the LDMI acquisition transaction were approved by both the board of directors and the stockholders of LDMI (by written consent of LDMI Preferred Stockholders). A copy of the Acquisition Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 of Talk America’s Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 24, 2005.

(b)As described in paragraph (a) above, the 1.8 million shares of Talk America common stock will be issued, together with cash payments aggregating approximately $22.2 million, to the LDMI Preferred Stockholders in exchange for their shares of LDMI preferred stock, which constitute all of the outstanding shares of preferred stock of LDMI.

(c)Talk America claims exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

(d)The Talk America shares of common stock to be issued as discussed in the preceding paragraphs are not convertible or exchangeable for equity securities.
