The corrected release reads: CARNEGIE TECHNOLOGIES AND FOUNDER PAUL POSNER NOMINATE FIVE HIGHLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATES FOR THE BOARD OF HAGICJACK VOCALTEC LTD. Current Board Has Been Unable to Unlock Value for All Shareholders Seeks to Undertake a Comprehensive Strategic Alternatives Process Carnegie Technologies Intends to Submit a Proposal to Purchase magicJack for $8.50 per share Carnegie Technologies Holdings, LLC and Founder Paul M. Posner ("Carnegie"), the holder of approximately 1.6% of the shares in magicJack VocalTec Ltd. ("magicJact" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CALL), today announced the nomination of five highly qualified candidates for election to magicJack's Board of Directors at its 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Carnegie nominees include Prank Boll, Habil El-Hags, Richard Kimsey, Norris Hiller and Richard Talarico. Carnegie also supports the election of magicJack director nominee Gerald Vento, and Alan B. Howe, a nominee of Kanen Wealth Management, LLC ("Konen"). "magicJack shareholders deserve a Board that Ls committed to a process that can unlock value for all shareholders," said Paul Posner, Founder and CEO of Carnegie Technologies. "With a history of value destructive decisions and ineffective leadership, it is time fox significant change at the board level and to put in place skilled, experienced directors that have the willingness to return cash to shareholders, and the capability to effectively evaluate all the company's assets and run a comprehensive strategic alternatives process that includes a sale of the company in whole or in parts." magicJack shareholders should consider the following: The current board of directors has been ineffective in producing an enhancement in the stock price for shareholders. The 90-day average stock price before the current board announced the acquisition of Broadsmart on Nacch 15, 2016 was 58.32. The stock immediately sold oft on the news of this 3. 1I - conceived transaction. The Company's average stock price in the 90 days before the Kanen letter of August 23, 2016 to effectuate change at the Company was $6.09, near historic lows - a 27% loss from the level just prior to the board action to buy Broadsmart. Currently, the average stock price over the past 90 days of $6.62 la a slight improvement, duo primarily to the actions of Kanen. The current board of directors has not returned cash to shareholders. Despite holding a large cash balance for several years. the Company never made any cash distributions to shareholders. Shareholders have therefore received neither cash nor share value appreciation. The current board has used the Company's cash resources poorly, including I) embarking on share buybacks that - by the Company's o•.m admission - have not increased the stock price, but simply reduced the market capitalization of the Company; and 2) overpaying for the acquisition of Broadsmart, a company in a now and intensely competitive vertical, that has performed wall below the guidance provided by the Company almost immediately after consummation of the transaction. The current board has been ineffective in producing a liquid market for the Company's shares. Two years ago, there was roughly $10 million of daily trading activity in CALL stock. Today, there is less than 10% of that total. As such, shareholders have little chance of trading their shares without dramatically affecting the stock price.

The Company initially node comments that it intended to clak tha:enOldeLS te aFP:cVe such move at the annual shareholder meeting, back on May ID, 2016, only to defer such decision on the 2Q 2D16 Earnings Call on August 9, 2016 and subsequently on the 1p 2016 Earnings Call on November 9, 2016. In the Company's preliminary proxy material, of December 3D, 2016 listing the agenda of item, to consider at the annual shareholder meeting, the proposal is not even mentioned. The current board continued a pattern of ineffective decision making and seemingly lacked the capacity to negotiate squarely with Konen, a significant shareholder of the Company, while also considering the strategic priorities of all shareholders. In the Company's preliminary proxy materials, the Company's board seemingly endorsed a $45 million share buyback (on October 5 and October 20), only to reverse direction completely on December 29. Based on the above, it is Carnegie., opinion that the current accommodation to the Xenon proposal is Insufficient, either in changing the dynamics at the board of directors (in replacing one director and adding another), and in rejecting the proposed 445 million share buyback. Carnegie therefore proposes replacing a majority of the board of directors and commencing the exploration of comprehensive strategic alternatives for the Company, including a sale of the Company in whole or In parts. The directors Carnegie has nominated have long histories in the communications and technology industries, have served on public company boards, and have created shareholder value through both organic and inorganic initiatives. The proposed board also has experience in CEO searches, • critical matter as the Company announced the retirement plans of the current CEO whom we wish to retain as a board member in order to ensure a smooth operational transition.Carnegle is optimistic about the Company's potential under its ownership and intends to put forth a proposal to the newly elected board to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $8.50 per share. The prospective offer, which is subject to confirmatory due diligence, reflects a premium to current and historic stock price levels of the Company since the current board of directors approved the acquisition of Broadsmart. Further, it provides all shareholders an opportunity to sell their positions in a highly illiquid stock. Carnegie has retained The Bank Street Group as its financial advisor, as well as Netter Liquornik Geva Leshem Tal as its Israeli counsel and Wiggle and Dana LLP as US securities law counsel in its pursuit of this matter. magicJack shareholders of record at the close of business on January 25, 2015 will be entitled to vote at the 2016 Annual General Meeting scheduled for February 28, 2017, at 10:00 an Israel time.
