This Amendment No. 9 (this “Amendment No. 9”) is being filed by the filing persons listed on the cover page hereof and amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement and Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule TO (the “Initial Schedule TO”) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 10, 2005 by NTOP Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NTOP Acquisition”), and IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“IDT”), as amended (the Initial Schedule TO, as so amended, is referred to as the “Schedule TO”). This Amendment No. 9 relates to the tender offer by NTOP Acquisition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IDT, to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Net2Phone, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Net2Phone”), not otherwise beneficially owned by IDT (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $2.05 net per Share in cash without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 10, 2005, as revised to date (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(i) to Amendment No. 3, and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(ii) to the Initial Schedule TO.
