DALLAS, July 2, 2007 Intervoice, Inc. (NASDAQ: INTV) today announced the appointment of
Michael J. Willner as a director of the Company.
Mr. Willner is founder and President of Willner Properties Services, Inc., a privately-held real
estate investment company. He has been actively involved in developing, managing and leasing real
estate for over 20 years. Prior to Mr. Willners real estate career, he practiced as both an
attorney and certified public accountant. Mr. Willner serves as a director of Meridian Bank, a
privately held, state chartered commercial bank headquartered in Paoli, Pennsylvania.
On July 1, 2007 Daniel D. Hammond resigned from the Companys Board of Directors and withdrew his
name as a nominee for election at the 2007 Annual Meeting, citing business as well as personal
reasons. Mr. Hammond further indicated that the significant time commitment, coupled with his
business commitments, contributed to his decision.
As a result of Mr. Hammonds actions, the Board approved the appointment of Mr. Willner to the
Companys Board, effective July 1, 2007, and his nomination to stand for election at the 2007
Annual Meeting. Mr. Willner was also named Vice-Chairman of the Board.
We regret that Mr. Hammonds personal and business commitments will not permit him to continue to
serve as a director, I want to thank Dan for his many years of contribution to Intervoice and
especially his leadership in the technology direction of the Company, which is his legacy, said
Mr. Brandenburg. Mr. Brandenburg further stated that, I am very excited that Mr. Willner has
agreed to serve as a director of the Company. Mr. Willner brings to the Board a very strong
business, legal and accounting background and has a high level of understanding of the Companys
business. As a successful businessman, Mr. Willner has been a significant
long-term shareholder of the Company. I am confident that the Board, the Company and its
shareholders will benefit from Mr. Willners perspectives.
As a result of the above actions the Company has prepared and is mailing a Supplement to its proxy
statement dated June 26, 2007. The Supplement and accompanying proxy card are being first sent to
shareholders on approximately July 3, 2007.
The Companys 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Monday, July 23, 2007, at the
