CALCULATION OF FILING FEE
Transaction Valuation* |
Amount of Filing Fee* | |
$94,605,978.90 | $10,122.84 |
* | Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee. This calculation assumes the purchase of 46,149,258 shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Shares), of Net2Phone, Inc. (Net2Phone), including Shares issuable upon exercise of vested stock options and upon conversion of shares of the class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Class A Common Stock), of Net2Phone, at a price per Share of $2.05 in cash. Such number of Shares represents 48,890,306 Shares outstanding and Shares issuable upon exercise of vested stock options and upon conversion of the shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case not already beneficially owned by IDT Corporation (IDT), as of November 1, 2005, less the 2,773,798 Shares already beneficially owned by IDT. The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 6 for fiscal year 2005 equals $107.00 per $1,000,000.00 of the value of the transaction. |

Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13E-3
This Amendment No. 11 (this Amendment No. 11) is being filed by the filing persons listed on the cover page hereof and amends and supplements the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement (the Initial Schedule 13E-3) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 10, 2005 by IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (IDT), and NTOP Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of IDT (NTOP Acquisition), as amended (the Initial Schedule 13E-3, as so amended, is referred to as the Schedule 13E-3). This Amendment No. 11 relates to the acquisition by NTOP Acquisition of all of the outstanding shares (the Shares) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Net2Phone, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Net2Phone), not already beneficially owned by IDT.
Concurrently with the filing of this Schedule 13E-3, Net2Phone is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive Consent Solicitation Statement (the Consent Solicitation Statement) pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to the solicitation by Net2Phone of written consents from its stockholders to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 17, 2006 (the Merger Agreement), among IDT, NTOP Acquisition and Net2Phone, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger of NTOP Acquisition with and into Net2Phone (the Merger). If Net2Phones stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger, the Shares (other than the Shares beneficially owned by IDT and any Shares with respect to which appraisal rights have been properly perfected under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $2.05 in cash without interest. As a result of the Merger, Net2Phone will cease to be a publicly traded company and will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IDT.
The information set forth in the definitive Consent Solicitation Statement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(xiv) to this Schedule 13E-3, including all schedules and annexes thereto, is hereby incorporated by reference in response to items 1 through 16 of the Schedule 13E-3, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided herein.
