HERZLIA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VocalTec Communications Ltd. (Nasdaq:VOCL), a global provider of carrier-class multimedia and voice-over-IP solutions for communication service providers, announced today the results of the Extraordinary General Meeting of its shareholders held on October 16, 2008.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, all proposals submitted to the approval of the company's shareholders were approved, including:

Appointment of Ms. Tsipi Kagan as an external director of the company; and
Grants to each director of the company of options to purchase ordinary shares of the company.

The proposals submitted to shareholders’ approval were described in the agenda attached as an exhibit to the company's Report on Form 6-K, furnished to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2008.

On October 17, 2008, the company was informed by Nasdaq that Nasdaq had filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission an immediately effective rule change, pursuant to which Nasdaq-listed companies will not be cited for non-compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price or public float market value requirements until January 19, 2009. Therefore, and although approved by the company's shareholders, the company resolved to delay the reverse split of its outstanding ordinary shares, which was required in order to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, until January 19, 2009, the date on which the foregoing listing requirements will be reinstated.

Accordingly, no amendment will be made to the company’s Articles of Association concerning the company’s authorized share capital, and the exercise prices of the options granted to the directors and the number of shares underlying such options will be as stated in the proxy statement dated September 9, 2008 (and will not reflect a reverse split).
