(b) On December 7, 2006, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick died. Ambassador Kirkpatrick was a member of the Board of Directors whom the Board had determined to be “independent” in accordance with the independence requirements of Section 303A.02(b) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and IDT’s own independent standards. On December 8, 2006, Ira A. Greenstein, President of IDT, notified IDT of his decision to resign from the Board of Directors, effective immediately, in order that the Board of Directors should continue to consist of a majority of independent directors. Mr. Greenstein’s resignation was accepted by the Board of Directors on December 8, 2006. Following these changes, the Board of Directors consists of 13 members, 7 of whom have been determined by the Board to be independent. As previously disclosed in the Registrant's proxy statement for its upcoming annual meeting of stockholders, seven individuals have been nominated to serve on the Registrant’s Board of Directors following the meeting, including four who have been determined by the Board to be independent.
