SUPPLEMENT
TO PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL
MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be
Held June 24, 2009
This supplement (this Supplement) supplements and
amends the Proxy Statement dated May 20, 2009 (the
Proxy Statement) of iPass Inc. furnished to
stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies on
behalf of the Board of Directors of iPass (the
Board) for use at the 2009 annual meeting of
stockholders, scheduled to be held at 9:00 a.m. Pacific
time on Wednesday June 24, 2009 (the 2009 Annual
Meeting). The 2009 Annual Meeting will be held at
iPass offices located at 3800 Bridge Parkway, Redwood
Shores, CA 94065. The record date for the determination of the
holders of common stock of iPass who are entitled to notice of
and to vote at the 2009 Annual Meeting is April 29, 2009,
which is the same record date specified in the Proxy Statement.
This Supplement, which should be read in conjunction with the
Proxy Statement, is first being furnished to stockholders of
iPass on or about June 8, 2009.
On June 2, 2009, iPass entered into an agreement (the
Agreement) with Foxhill Opportunity Master Fund,
L.P., Foxhill Opportunity Fund, L.P., Foxhill Opportunity
Offshore Fund, LTD., Foxhill Capital (GP), LLC, and Foxhill
Capital Partners (collectively, Foxhill) to settle
the proxy contest pertaining to the election of directors to the
Board at the 2009 Annual Meeting. The Agreement is summarized
below.
The white proxy card enclosed with this Supplement differs from
the white proxy card previously furnished to you with the Proxy
Statement in that the enclosed white proxy card includes
Mr. Kenneth H. Traub, who has been nominated by iPass
Board pursuant to the Agreement, and does not include
Mr. Evan L. Kaplan, who has been moved to the class of
directors to be elected at the iPass 2010 annual meeting of
stockholders. Thus, if you wish to vote with respect to all
three of the nominees, please submit the white proxy card
enclosed with this Supplement. The Board unanimously recommends
that you vote FOR the election of each of the three nominees to
the Board.
In addition, stockholders are being asked to vote at the 2009
Annual Meeting to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP to serve as
iPass independent registered public accounting firm for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, and to approve an
amendment to iPass Certificate of Incorporation to
declassify the Board, as more fully described in the Proxy
Statement.
Because there will be no contested election of directors at the
2009 Annual Meeting, if you hold your shares in street name
through a broker, dealer, bank or other nominee and do not
provide instructions to your broker, dealer, bank or other
nominee as to how to vote, your broker, dealer, bank or other
nominee can vote your shares at its discretion on each of these
matters.
The Board does not intend to bring before the 2009 Annual
Meeting any matters other than those specifically described
above and knows of no matters other than the foregoing to come
before the 2009 Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of
record and return a signed white proxy card, your shares will be
voted on any other matters that properly come before the 2009
Annual Meeting in accordance with the judgment of the persons
named in the white proxy card as to the best interests of iPass
on such matters.
Stockholders are urged to vote promptly using the enclosed white
proxy card, even if they have previously submitted a proxy. Any
proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be changed or
revoked by the person giving it at any time before such proxy is
voted at the 2009 Annual Meeting. Stockholders of record may
change their vote or revoke their proxy by: (1) delivering
to iPass (Attention: Corporate Secretary) at the address on the
first page of this Supplement a written notice of revocation of
the proxy; (2) delivering to iPass an authorized proxy
bearing a later date (including a proxy by telephone or over the
Internet); or (3) attending the 2009 Annual Meeting and
voting in person. Attendance at the meeting in and of itself,
without voting in person at the meeting, will not cause a
previously granted proxy to be revoked. Stockholders who hold
their shares in street name may change their vote by submitting
new voting instructions to their broker, dealer, bank or other
nominee or, if they have obtained a legal proxy from their
broker, dealer, bank or other nominee granting them the right to
vote the shares at the 2009 Annual Meeting, by attending the
meeting and voting in person.
If a stockholder previously returned a proxy card that was
delivered with the Proxy Statement and subsequently returns a
proxy card delivered with this Supplement, the proxy card
delivered with this Supplement will supersede the prior proxy
card. If a stockholder previously returned a proxy card
delivered with the Proxy Statement and does not return a proxy
card delivered with this supplement, the proxy card returned
will be voted as to all matters reflected on such proxy card,
other than the election of Mr. Evan L. Kaplan, who is
no longer in the class of directors to be elected at the 2009
Annual Meeting.
For additional information regarding voting of your shares,
refer to the section below captioned Voting of
Proxies.
Background
to the Solicitation
Please refer to the Proxy Statement for the background to our
interactions with Foxhill prior to the filing of the Proxy
Statement.
|
|
|
|
|
On May 20, 2009, iPass filed the Proxy Statement with the
SEC, and mailed the Proxy Statement to its stockholders on
May 21, 2009. This Proxy Statement included the nomination
of three nominees as directors, to serve in the class of
directors for a three year term until the 2012 annual meeting of
stockholders.
|
|
|
|
On May 21, 2009, Foxhill filed a definitive proxy statement
with the SEC, which nominated the three directors being
nominated by Foxhill.
|
|
|
|
During the period from May 21, 2009, until June 2,
2009, representatives of iPass and Foxhill entered into
negotiations regarding a possible settlement of the proxy
contest between iPass and Foxhill.
|
|
|
|
On June 2, 2009, iPass and Foxhill entered into the
Agreement, which is described below, which resolved the proxy
contest.
|
Agreement
The Agreement, entered into on June 2, 2009, between iPass
and Foxhill, provides that:
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Kenneth H. Traub will be appointed to the Board of
Directors of iPass, to the class of directors the term of which
expires at the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders. Further,
Mr. Traub will be nominated by the Board for election at
the 2009 Annual Meeting, to the class the term of office of
which will expire at the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.
Prior to the 2009 Annual Meeting, and provided that
Mr. Traub delivers to iPass the conditional resignation
required by iPass bylaws, the Agreement provides that
(i) the Board shall recommend that iPass stockholders
vote in favor of Mr. Traub at the 2009 Annual Meeting and
(ii) iPass shall solicit proxies for the election of
Mr. Traub at the 2009 Annual Meeting. Mr. Traub will
also be appointed to the Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board.
Mr. Traub will be the initial Foxhill Designee (as that
term is defined in the Agreement).
|
|
|
|
Mr. Evan L. Kaplan, who is currently a member of the
class of directors the term of which expires at the 2009 annual
meeting of stockholders, will be moved into the class of
directors the term of which expires at the 2010 annual meeting
of stockholders.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Gary Griffiths will be elected to the Board shortly
following the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders, to replace a
director who will resign.
|
|
|
|
The Board shall not be increased to more than ten
(10) directors at any time before the iPass 2010 annual
meeting of stockholders unless approved by a majority of the
independent directors and the Foxhill Designee.
|
2
|
|
|
|
|
If Mr. Traub is unable to serve as a director at a time
when Foxhill owns at least 5% of the iPass common stock, iPass
will appoint a replacement director reasonably acceptable to
iPass.
|
|
|
|
Until the earlier to occur of December 31, 2010, and the
date no Foxhill designee is serving as a member of the Board and
Foxhill has advised iPass in writing that iPass is no longer
obligated to nominate or appoint a Foxhill designee to the Board
under the agreement: (i) Foxhill will vote all of the
shares it owns in support of each slate of Directors nominated
by the Board (and will not support or participate in any
withhold the vote or similar campaign, or support
any other nominees other than the slate of Directors nominated
by the Board); (ii) Foxhill will not propose (other than a
private proposal to the Board or committee thereof) any
candidates for election as directors of iPass; and
(iii) Foxhill will not: (A) propose any proxy
resolutions or nominees for director for approval by iPass
stockholders; provided, however, that Foxhill will be
entitled to make any non-public proposals or nominee suggestions
it wishes solely to the Board or a committee thereof; or
(B) support any proxy resolutions or conduct any proxy
solicitations or seek to advise or influence in any manner any
person with respect to the voting of iPass voting securities
against the recommendation of the Board on such matters;
provided, however, that other than with respect to the
election of directors, Foxhill is not limited in how it votes
its shares.
|
|
|
|
Foxhill withdrew its previously announced notice of its intent
to nominate directors with respect to the iPass 2009 annual
meeting of stockholders.
|
|
|
|
iPass will, subject to the limitations set forth in the
agreement: seek stockholder approval of an amendment to
iPass outstanding equity awards to cause the value of the
awards not to be impaired by a return of capital to iPass
stockholders; if such stockholder approval is received, the
Board will declare a dividend of $20 million; and the Board
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to return an
additional $20 million to the iPass stockholders by the end
of 2009 by tender offer or other means; provided,
however, that the Board shall not be obligated to return any
amount of cash if (i) the Board shall have submitted the
return of such cash to the iPass stockholders for approval and
the iPass stockholders shall not have approved such return of
cash, or (ii) the Board shall have determined, with the
advice of counsel, that the return of such cash would cause the
Board to be in breach of its fiduciary duties, or to be in
violation of applicable law.
|
|
|
|
The Board will continue to recommend that iPass stockholders
vote in favor of the declassification proposal in iPass
revised definitive proxy statement for the iPass 2009 annual
meeting of stockholders.
|
In addition, the Agreement further provides that iPass will
reimburse Foxhill for its reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in the commencement of the proxy contest, in
an amount not to exceed $150,000, within ten (10) business
days of receiving reasonably satisfactory documentation with
respect to such expenses.
iPass filed a complete copy of the Agreement with the SEC on
June 3, 2009, as an exhibit to its Current Report on
Form 8-K,
and this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the entire Agreement included therein.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Traub has been appointed to
the Board and each of the Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee and the Compensation Committee, and nominated to be
elected as a director at the 2009 Annual Meeting. In addition,
Mr. Kaplan has been moved to the class of directors to be
elected at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders.
New
Nominee
Proposal 1 as set forth in the Proxy Statement is hereby
amended to provide that the Board has nominated three
individuals to serve on the Board, Robert J. Majteles, Allan R.
Spies and Kenneth H. Traub. All of the nominees will serve as
directors for a three-year term that expires at the 2012 Annual
Meeting. Certain information about two of the nominees,
Mr. Majteles and Mr. Spies, is set forth in the Proxy
Statement. Certain information concerning Mr. Traub is set

Officer and a member of the board of directors of American Bank
Note Holographics,
3
Inc. (ABNH), a holographic security company, from April 1999 to
February 2008, at which time ABNH was acquired by JDSU.
Mr. Traub managed an extensive turnaround of ABNH, and
under his leadership, ABNHs stockholders enjoyed a gain of
over 1000% from 2001 to 2008.
The Board has determined that Mr. Traub is an
independent director as that term is defined in the
rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Mr. Traub owns, beneficially or of record,
95,300 shares of iPass common stock, over which he
has sole voting and dispositive power.
Other than the proxies solicited under the proxy statement filed
by Foxhill on May 21, 2009 and the Agreement,
Mr. Traub is not, and within the past year has not been, a
party to any contract, arrangement or understanding with any
person with respect to any securities of iPass, including joint
ventures, loans or option arrangements, puts or calls,
guarantees against losses or guarantees of profits, division of
losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
Mr. Traub has consented to being named in this proxy
statement and to serve if elected.
Mr. Traub will receive the standard compensation received
by outside directors, as described in the Proxy Statement.

Voting of
Proxies
The white proxy card enclosed with this Supplement differs from
the white proxy card previously furnished to you with the Proxy
Statement in that the enclosed white proxy card includes the
name of Mr. Kenneth H. Traub, and does not include as a
nominee Mr. Evan L. Kaplan. Thus, if you wish to vote for
all three of the Boards nominees, you must do so by voting
on the white proxy card enclosed with this Supplement.
As this is now an uncontested election, nominees are elected if
they receive more For votes than Against
votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication,
if applicable, or represented by proxy and entitled to vote
generally on the election of directors. Each of the nominees has
submitted a conditional resignation in the event that he does
not receive more For votes than Against
and Abstain votes (referred to as
Withheld in our bylaws). If a nominee receives more
Against and Abstain votes than
For votes, then the nominee will continue to be a
holdover director, and will cease to be a director
if our Board accepts the conditional resignation, which the
Board would do absent compelling circumstances to the contrary.
Shares represented by proxies will be voted, if authority to do
so is not withheld, for the election of Mr. Majteles,
Mr. Spies, and Mr. Traub. Each of Mr. Majteles,
Mr. Spies, and Mr. Traub have agreed to serve if
elected, and we have no reason to believe they will be unable to
serve. If any of Mr. Majteles, Mr. Spies, and
Mr. Traub becomes unavailable for election unexpectedly,
your shares will be voted for the election of a substitute
nominee nominated by our Board.
In addition, stockholders are being asked to vote at the 2009
Annual Meeting to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP to serve as
iPass independent registered public accounting firm for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 and to approve an
amendment to the companys Certificate of Incorporation to
declassify the Board, as more fully described in the Proxy
Statement.

If you granted a proxy by submitting an unrevoked white proxy
card included with the companys original Proxy Statement,
and do not submit a new proxy card included with this Supplement:
|
|
|
|
|
your vote on such proxy card with respect to Robert J. Majteles
and Allan R. Spies will be counted as indicated on that proxy
card; and

ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the companys
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2009 and to approve the amendment

Board will be counted as indicated on such proxy card.

of the company along with this Supplement. ALL STOCKHOLDERS,
