All shareholders who tender shares to Mr. Zisapel pursuant to the tender offer will receive the increased price for shares tendered and accepted for payment, regardless of whether such shares are tendered before or after this announcement, if the tender offer is consummated.

In light of the increase in the offer price, the initial period of the tender offer and withdrawal rights, previously scheduled to expire on Monday, June 1, 2009, was extended and will now expire at 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on Monday, June 15, 2009. The additional period of the tender offer, if the conditions to the offer have been satisfied (or waived, to the extent permitted by applicable law), will now expire at 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on Friday, June 19, 2009.

According to a preliminary count by the depositaries for the offer, as of 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on May 27, 2009, 370 RADVISION shares had been validly tendered in Mr. Zisapel’s offer and not withdrawn.
