STEVEN G. MIHAYLO AND VECTOR CAPITAL ASK INTER-TEL TO PROMPTLY CALL SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE ON PROPOSAL TO START SALE PROCESS

 

TEMPE, AZ – August 25, 2006 – Steven G. Mihaylo, the founder, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder of Inter-Tel (Delaware), Incorporated (Nasdaq: INTL) (“Inter-Tel” or the “Company”) and Vector Capital Corporation (“Vector”), today requested that Inter-Tel promptly call a special meeting of stockholders to vote on a proposal to urge the Board of Directors to arrange for the prompt sale of the Company to the highest bidder. This step is consistent with the process outlined in the Settlement Agreement between the Company and Mr. Mihaylo.

 

“Our various proposals to commence a sales process designed to result in the prompt sale of the Company to the highest bidder have been rejected by the Company,” stated Mr. Mihaylo. “We’ve asked the Company to meet on several occasions to discuss our offer and they’ve declined. There is still no indication that the Company is interested in running a sales process to maximize value.”

 

On July 28, 2006, Mr. Mihaylo and Vector submitted a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares for $22.50 per share in cash. On August 11, 2006, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company rejected the proposal and concluded that the proposal was inadequate and was not in the best interests of the Company's stockholders.

 

On August 21, 2006, in a good faith effort to avoid the expense and disruption of a special meeting, Mr. Mihaylo and Vector submitted a letter to the Special Committee which stated that they were prepared to raise their offer price to $23.25 per share in cash if the Special Committee publicly committed to commence immediately a sales process designed to result in the prompt sale of the Company to the highest bidder. The Special Committee rejected the proposal.

 

“Although we continue to believe that our proposal is the best, we of course expect that the Company will seek higher bids,” Mr. Mihaylo added. “We believe that a sale of the Company at this time will maximize value for the Company’s stockholders. While we had hoped to participate in a constructive dialog and process with the Special Committee and to avoid the special meeting of stockholders, we are confident that this exercise in stockholder democracy will ultimately persuade the Special Committee to respect the desires of the owners of Inter-Tel.”
