IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT, IDT.C) today extended the expiration date of its previously announced exchange offer of its outstanding Common Stock (NYSE: IDT.C) for shares of Class B Common Stock (NYSE: IDT).

The deadline for tendering shares of Common Stock in the exchange offer has been extended from 5:00 p.m. EST, on Tuesday, January 4, 2011, to 5:00 p.m. EST, on Tuesday, January 18, 2011.

IDT is extending the offer to exchange for the following reasons: (i) today it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a revised Offer to Exchange revising its disclosure previously set forth in the Offer to Exchange and mailed to stockholders in order to respond to comments received from the SEC; (ii) there were logistic issues in mailing the exchange offer materials to stockholders and IDT wants to ensure that all holders have sufficient time to read the materials, make their determinations and tender if they so desire; and (iii) IDT recognizes that stockholders may be away during the upcoming holiday season and therefore may be unable to tender their shares prior to the original expiration date.

IDT Corporation has been advised that as of 5:00 p.m., EST, on December 20, 2010 approximately 696 shares of its Common Stock had been tendered in the exchange offer. Tenders of shares of Common Stock must be made, and may be withdrawn, at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

The exchange offer is made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange dated December 2, 2010 and revised as of December 20, 2010, and the related Letter of Transmittal, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Holders of our Common Stock should read the exchange offer documents as revised because they contain important information. Stockholders can get the exchange offer documents without charge from the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.
