Bob Ritchey, CEO, Dialog
     Thank you, David
     I am very pleased to be here with David to discuss today’s big news – as you know by now, Intervoice and Convergys announced early this morning that we have entered into a definitive agreement under which Intervoice will be acquired by Convergys. While Intervoice has performed well independently for 25 years, this proposed transaction will create significant value for our shareholders and expanded opportunities for our employees and equally important, it will support our valued customers and help them achieve higher levels of satisfaction and business success. We feel the time is right for this transaction and we are confident that you will also be enthusiastic about the future of

 


 

the merged organizations.
     Let me assure you as CEO of Intervoice that both companies entered into this agreement to drive growth — not consolidation. By adding Intervoice’s world-class talent, technology, and services portfolio, Convergys will have a truly comprehensive relationship management offering. The combined company will be a single source provider for enterprise and network service provider customers to cost effectively deliver high-quality customer experiences and convert customer and subscriber interactions into strategic advantage.
     As a leader in relationship management, Convergys shares our passion for innovation and excellence in customer care, and we look forward to continuing that tradition well into the future. In fact, I am especially pleased that we are joining a company that has been named a Fortune “Most Admired” company for eight consecutive years, an honor bestowed only on those companies who have strong records of innovation, leadership, and financial strength. Adding to this great company, Intervoice has a team of highly skilled and dedicated

 


 

employees and managers and a long list of valuable customers — some of the biggest and most recognized brands in the world. They will augment and greatly complement the already impressive list of Convergys’ clients.
     The entire Intervoice executive team supports this transaction and we know there’s a strong cultural fit with Convergys. We plan to work very hard to make the integration of the two companies seamless and efficient.
     Let me end these brief remarks by emphasizing that this proposed transaction should create significant value for our shareholders, a new array of solutions that support the relationships management needs of our valued customers, and expanded opportunities for our employees.
     Thank you

NEWS RELEASE
Convergys to Acquire Intervoice,
Enhancing Leadership in Relationship Management
Acquisition Provides a Complementary Growth Platform and Expands
Convergys’ Integrated Automated and Live Agent Offering
(Cincinnati and Dallas; July 16, 2008) - - - Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG) and Intervoice, Inc. (NASDAQ: INTV) announced today that the Boards of Directors of both companies have approved a definitive merger agreement under which Convergys will acquire Intervoice for $335 million in cash or $8.25 per share. The consideration represents a premium of 24 percent to Intervoice’s closing stock price on July 15, 2008, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the agreement. Convergys expects the acquisition to be accretive beginning in 2009 on a non-GAAP basis, excluding amortization and one time costs.
With its strong global brand, innovative technology, and large and loyal customer base, Intervoice is a leader in the software-based interactive voice response, contact center, and mobile messaging technology and applications markets. Intervoice is also recognized in the leader’s quadrant among its peers as acknowledged in Gartner, Inc.’s ‘Magic Quadrant for Interactive Voice Response Systems and Enterprise Voice Portals, 2008’ report published February 19, 2008. The report states that “Intervoice has a strong track record and experience in delivering IVR and speech applications through packaged applications, complemented by service engagements.”
Acquisition Strategic and Financial Benefits
Comprehensive product and services offering — By integrating Intervoice’s complementary speech automation, Web self-care, and mobile applications, Convergys will be able to offer a comprehensive array of automated and live agent services. Intervoice’s products and services portfolio provides Convergys with an expanded offering, reduced time to market, and enhanced differentiation in the large and growing automated services market.
Expanded client base and growth opportunities in global market — Intervoice serves thousands of enterprises and network service providers in 80 countries across multiple industries, including financial services, healthcare, retail and manufacturing, telecommunications, utilities, and transportation and travel. Intervoice’s extensive global channel and technology partnerships and sales

 


 

presence provide Convergys with a number of cross-selling opportunities to further penetrate current markets and access new markets and geographies. These cross-selling opportunities as well as the new bundled product offerings are expected to accelerate Convergys revenue growth in 2009 and beyond.
“Separately, these companies have been strong strategic partners delivering products that have created opportunities for customers like us,” said Robert Strickland, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at T-Mobile USA. “If they come together, we look forward to seeing them continue to build on their ability to bring solutions to the market that place customer relationships at the center.”
Predictable revenue with attractive contribution margins — Intervoice revenues for its fiscal year ended February 28, 2008, were $202.4 million. More than fifty percent of these revenues are maintenance and hosted services revenues that are predictable and recurring. These maintenance and hosted services, along with the rest of Intervoice’s portfolio of products and services, generate attractive contribution margins.
“This acquisition is part of our plan to be the market leader in Relationship Management solutions,” said Dave Dougherty, Convergys President and CEO. “Clients are demanding high-quality, integrated, relationship management solutions, combining both automated and live agent services, to drive more value from their relationships with their customers and employees. We believe acquiring Intervoice allows us to compete more effectively as a single-source provider and enables us to grow our revenues and our earnings. We’re very excited about this transaction and the value we expect it to create for our clients and shareholders, as well as the opportunities we expect it to create for Convergys and Intervoice employees.”
“While Intervoice has performed well independently for 25 years, this transaction should create significant value for our shareholders, new opportunities for our employees, and enhanced ways to drive our customers’ success,” said Robert Ritchey, CEO of Intervoice. “Convergys is an industry leader that shares our passion for innovative technology and excellence in customer service. We expect our complementary product and services suites to optimize relationship management across all industry segments. We look forward to joining the Convergys team.”

Why did Intervoice agree to be acquired by Convergys?
While Intervoice has performed well independently for 25 years, the proposed transaction should create significant value for its shareholders, new opportunities for its employees and enhanced ways to drive customers’ success.
Intervoice and Convergys have many complementary products and services. This transaction would offer the ability for single-source contact center solutions, whether on-premise, hybrid or hosted and from the IVR to the actual agent providing customer care. It also offers critical mass and scale for Intervoice to expand its footprint with the world’s leading service providers, many also served by Convergys.
How will this transaction affect employees?
This transaction is about growth, not consolidation. Both Convergys and Intervoice employees have done an extraordinary job in building their respective companies to where they are today. Over the long term, employees of both companies will benefit from new and broader career development and advancement opportunities. However, more than likely there will be some positions eliminated as a result of the integration of the companies, but it is too early in the process to speculate about any details. Until the transaction closes, the companies remain separate. It is important that all employees remain focused on providing clients with superior service and executing business priorities.
What are the plans to integrate the two companies? How will staffing at various levels throughout the combined company be determined?
While it is premature to discuss specifics now, an integration planning team has been established and will begin working to address how to best utilize each of the companies’ strengths. This team is headed by Ken Goldberg for Intervoice (and his counterpart at Convergys) and will be comprised of people from various departments and geographies company-wide. Following the close of the transaction, Intervoice would be integrated into, and become the core of, the

- 1 -


 

Relationship Technology Management line of business. All employees will be informed as further decisions are made. Given the complementary nature of the companies and the talented teams at both Convergys and Intervoice, we expect the benefits of this transaction will be quickly and efficiently realized.
Will there be any changes in Intervoice employee benefits and compensation?
From the effective time of the transaction until December 31, 2008, Convergys has agreed to provide Intervoice employees with employee benefits and compensation plans, programs and arrangements (excluding annual equity grants) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided by Intervoice or its subsidiaries. After December 31, 2008, Convergys will decide what employee benefits and compensation plans, programs and arrangements will be made available to Intervoice employees.
Will there be any layoffs as a result of the transaction?
This transaction is about growing the combined company. However, more than likely there will be some positions eliminated as a result of the integration of the companies, but it is too early in the process to speculate about any details. Convergys expects the experiences and insights of Intervoice’s employees will play a central role in the continued development and success of the combined company.
Convergys is headquartered in Cincinnati and Intervoice is headquartered in Dallas. What happens to those and other facilities?
Following the close of the transaction, Intervoice will maintain its offices in Dallas and will become a part of Convergys’ Relationship Technology Management line of business. There are no near-term plans that will affect Intervoice operations or real estate. We will look to create synergy in office locations across the globe and make the appropriate mid- or long-term decisions after careful consideration.
What about the Convergys and Intervoice names?
The Intervoice brand has accrued 25 years of equity among the markets and customers it serves. Convergys appreciates this, and any long-term decisions about the Intervoice brand would be premature at this time and made only after careful consideration and expert consultation.
What if I am asked to comment on the transaction by a member of the press or analyst community?
Intervoice employees should not under any circumstances make comments to business/trade press or industry/financial analysts. Please direct any business/trade press and industry analysts’ inquiries to Michelle Basch, Director of PR and Analyst Relations at +1 650-386-3666 or michelle.basch@intervoice.com. All financial or investor inquiries should be directed to Rob Sutton, Director of Finance and Treasury, at +1 972-454-8891 or rob.sutton@intervoice.com.
How will this transaction benefit our relationships with clients?

It also offers critical mass and scale for Intervoice to expand its footprint with the world’s leading service providers, many also served by Convergys.
What happens to my stock options, PBRSUs and RSUs as a result of the acquisition?
Outstanding stock options, PBRSUs and RSUs (vested and unvested) held by you at the effective time of the transaction will be canceled automatically at the time of the acquisition. You will be asked to agree to the cancellation if required under Intervoice’s stock plans or applicable law. Upon cancellation of outstanding stock options and within 5 days after the acquisition date, you will receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the acquisition consideration per share ($8.25) and the exercise price for each share of Intervoice stock (regardless of vesting) covered by your options (less applicable withholdings). The cash payment for each of your RSUs will be equal to the acquisition price per share (regardless of vesting and less applicable withholdings). Most cash payments related to PBRSUs and RSUs will be made within 5 days following the effective time, but due to a tax law related to nonqualified deferred compensation (which imposes an additional 20% tax if violated), cash payments made for cancellation of certain PBRSUs and RSUs granted during or before July, 2006, will be made on January 2, 2009 (and possibly earlier if you otherwise would be entitled to receive payout of those RSUs during 2008).
How long before the transaction closes? What approvals are required?
The transaction is expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2008. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, as well as the valid tender of at least two-thirds of the fully diluted shares of Intervoice common stock.
What can employees expect in the interim?
Until the transaction closes, the two companies remain separate companies, and it will be largely business as usual. Employees should continue to focus their efforts on serving clients’ needs. Updates will be made as the approval process progresses.
Where can employees obtain additional information?
Employees will be informed on a timely basis throughout this process with email communiqués and town halls. We are establishing a vehicle for confidential employee feedback, questions or concerns. A repository of information will be collected regularly and used to update all employees when the information is available and known. If you have any additional questions, please click contact your manager or HR representative.
Convergys’ revenues are largely rooted in the outsourcing business. Will the new company be focused on R&D and technology innovation?
Convergys shares our passion for technology innovation and excellence in customer service, and we look forward to continuing that tradition well into the future. In fact, the company was

named a Fortune® “Most Admired” company for seven consecutive years, an honor bestowed only on those companies who have strong records of innovation, leadership, and financial strength.
What happens to each company’s sales force?
While it is premature to discuss specifics now, Convergys expects the experiences and insights of Intervoice’s sales employees will play a central role in the continued development and success of the combined company.
Will Sales Compensation Targets or Plans be affected?
There are no expected changes for the remainder of this calendar year to Intervoice sales compensation as a result of the transaction; however, due to changes in accounts, territory assignments, etc. applicable changes will be made. Convergys is committed to providing a competitive compensation and benefits package for all employees that will attract and retain the talent needed to drive the combined Company forward successfully.
What are the restrictions for buying or selling shares of Intervoice or Convergys stock?
Provided you are not in possession of material non-public information concerning Intervoice or Convergys you are free to buy and sell the stock of either company based on your own independent investment decisions. The transaction was announced today and is therefore public information. Officers of the Company are subject to additional trading restrictions. Our Board of Directors approved the merger agreement for Convergys to acquire Intervoice.
At the time the expected tender offer is commenced, Convergys will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Intervoice will file a solicitation/recommendation statement with respect to the tender offer. Investors and Intervoice shareholders are strongly advised to read the tender offer statement (including the offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and other offer documents) and the related solicitation/recommendation statement because they will contain important information.
Will employees receive service credit under Convergys’s Compensation Plans?
Subject to the terms of the merger agreement, Convergys has agreed with Intervoice to provide our employees with service credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accruals under comparable employee benefit or compensation plans, other than pension plans, maintained by Convergys or its subsidiaries in which our employees will be eligible to participate.
