FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information set forth herein contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including forward-looking statements about expected future financial and operating performance, net proceeds received from the sale by NMS Communications Corporation (“NMS”) of its NMS Communications Platforms business to Dialogic Corporation (“Dialogic”), operating expenditures in connection with our restructuring following the sale of the NMS Communications Platforms business to Dialogic, and demand for and performance of our products and growth opportunities.  These statements are based on management’s expectations as of the date of this information and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, approval of the proposed sale of the NMS Communications Platforms business to Dialogic by NMS’s stockholders, receipt of required regulatory approvals, closing of the proposed sale within the anticipated timeframe, uncertainty in communications spending, the implementation of NMS’s strategy to focus exclusively on the LiveWire Mobile business, the implementation of NMS’s strategic repositioning and market acceptance of its managed services strategy, the receipt of less proceeds from the proposed sale of the NMS Communications Platforms business than is currently expected, the incurrence of greater restructuring costs than is currently expected, quarterly fluctuations in financial results, NMS’s ability to exploit fully the value of its technology and its strategic partnerships and alliances, the availability of products from NMS’s contract manufacturer and product component vendors and other risks.  These and other risks are detailed from time to time in NMS’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including NMS’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.  In addition, while management may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, management specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its estimates change.  Any reference to our website in this information is not intended to incorporate the contents thereof into this information or any other public announcement.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

 

PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY

 

October 28, 2008

 

Dear Stockholder:

 

We have previously mailed you proxy materials in connection with the Special Meeting of Stockholders of NMS Communications Corporation to be held on November 19, 2008.  Your vote is important.   Please vote your proxy or voting instruction form today.  Telephone and internet voting are available.

 

As you may know, we have agreed to sell our NMS Communications Platforms business to Dialogic Corporation, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 12, 2008.  In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we will sell the business to Dialogic for $28,000,000.  The proposed Asset Sale cannot be consummated until such time as we receive not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to adopt and approve the Asset Sale.

 

After careful consideration, our board of directors has unanimously determined that (i) the Asset Sale is expedient and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and (ii) the Name Change Charter Amendment and Reverse Split Charter Amendment are each advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.  For the reasons set forth in the proxy statement dated October 20, 2008, our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the adoption and approval of the Asset Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement, “FOR” the approval of the Name Change Charter Amendment, “FOR” the approval of the Reverse Split Charter Amendment and “FOR” the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies.

 

Your vote is important at this special meeting.  The adoption and approval of the proposed Asset Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of NMS Communications common stock entitled to vote as of the record date. Accordingly, if an NMS Communications stockholder fails to vote at the NMS Communications meeting, fails to return a proxy or abstains, that will have the same effect as a vote against the Asset Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

We have enclosed a duplicate proxy card for your convenience.  Please participate by voting your shares today — by telephone, via the internet, or please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy or voting instruction form in the postage-paid return envelope provided.

 



 

If you have any questions or need assistance voting your proxy, please call D. F. King & Co., Inc., which is assisting NMS Communications, toll-free at 1-800-578-5378.

 

Thank you for voting and for your cooperation and continued support.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

/s/ Robert P. Schechter
