CallWave is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in California in August 1998, reincorporated in Delaware in April 2004, and went public on September 30, 2004. Historically, CallWave has been an Internet telephony company bridging the gap between the mobile telephone, desktop computer and traditional fax line. The primary revenue sources were from dial-up subscribers who used our services to screen, transfer and store messages on their landline and mobile phones and virtual fax users who were looking for a cheaper alternative to premises-based fax machines. However, as these subscribers have migrated to broadband and VOIP services over the last few years, we have seen a consistent decline in our revenue. Over the last twenty months we have been using the net cash flow from our legacy business to invest in the growing unified communications space. Our new web collaboration and messaging platform is called FUZE.


FUZE is a browser-based solution that leverages our telephony foundation and enables enterprise-class, cross-platform collaboration, presence, real-time messaging and conferencing with unique features including high-resolution visuals, high-definition audio and synchronized video and imagery between browsers anywhere in the world. FUZE works with desktops, laptops and most smart phones. The target customers for FUZE are enterprises, small- and medium-enterprises (SMEs) as well as mobile professionals.

CallWave has not been convicted in any criminal proceeding during the last five years. CallWave has not been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the last five years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining it from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws.

(c) Business and Background of Natural Persons. The information in Schedule I to the Offer to Purchase regarding directors, executive officers, and controlling persons of CallWave is incorporated herein by reference.

None of the executive officers or directors of CallWave have been convicted in any criminal proceeding during the last five years, or been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the last five years that resulted in a judgement, decree or final order enjoining it from future violations, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws.
