FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FORMER CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF INTERVOICE (NASDAQ: INTV)
DAVID W. BRANDENBURG FILES PRELIMINARY PROXY MATERIALS TO ELECT
SEVEN NOMINEES TO INTERVOICES BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Proposes Slate of Highly Qualified and Very Experienced Nominees
OSPREY, FLORIDA June 1, 2007 David W. Brandenburg today announced that he has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission preliminary proxy materials in connection with his nomination of seven highly qualified and very experienced individuals, including himself and Daniel D. Hammond, a co-founder of Intervoice, for election to the Board of Directors of Intervoice, Inc. (NASDAQ: INTV) at Intervoices 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Intervoices current board of directors consists of seven members, all of whose one-year terms end at the 2007 Annual Meeting.
Mr. Brandenburg is the beneficial owner of 1,429,162 shares of Intervoices common stock which represents approximately 3.7% percent of Intervoices issued and outstanding common shares, based upon the amount of shares reported to be issued and outstanding in Intervoices Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007. In addition to being a significant shareholder, Mr. Brandenburg is a former Chairman, CEO and director of Intervoice.
As a significant shareholder focused on creating greater value for all Intervoice shareholders, I believe that it is time for a change in Intervoices direction and in its governance, said David W. Brandenburg. In recent months, I have made recommendations to the company in an attempt to assist it in growing its revenues and enhancing its profitability. While I believe that Intervoice has adopted a few of my recommendations and ideas for positioning the company for future growth and profitability, much more remains to be done if Intervoice is going to be able to return greater value to its shareholders. As directors of a reconstituted Board, my nominees will press Intervoice to focus urgently on growing revenues and increasing returns for investors. My nominees will provide fresh thinking, fresh perspectives and fresh ideas.
My fellow Intervoice shareholders should be entitled to the opportunity to vote for an alternative slate of director nominees that is the opportunity to replace the entire incumbent board with new members with a different base of experience and expertise. Alternatively, if shareholders wish to maintain the status quo, they can vote to re-elect the incumbent directors who are nominated by Intervoice. I believe that just the presence of an alternative slate of director nominees will benefit all shareholders and will increase the likelihood that meaningful actions will be taken to benefit Intervoice and all of its shareholders.
David W. Brandenburgs seven director nominees, including himself, together form a highly qualified, very experienced and dedicated team that is committed to positioning the company for long-term growth and profitability and delivering enhanced value for shareholders. If elected, they will be actively engaged in guiding Intervoices senior management, and holding them accountable for delivering consistent revenue growth and profitability.
Copies of the preliminary proxy materials of David W. Brandenburg are available at the Securities and Exchange Commissions website at http://www.sec.gov. They can also be obtained by contacting Innisfree M&A Incorporated by telephone at (888) 750-5834.
