<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">This Amendment No.&nbsp;1 (&#147;Amendment No.&nbsp;1&#148;) to the Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August&nbsp;29, 2008 (&#147;Original Filing&#148;) is being filed to
delete the following phrase: &#147;subject to discretion for special circumstances (such as an
acquisition, reorganization or group hires) that might lead the Company to determine that
additional awards are in the best interests of the stockholders,&#148; from the first full
paragraph on page 6 included in Proposal No.&nbsp;3 &#151; Approval of the Korn/Ferry International
2008 Stock Incentive Plan of the Original Filing. The first full paragraph on page 6 of the
Original Filing, as so modified, follows this Explanatory Note. Other than this modification,
this Amendment No.&nbsp;1 does not modify or update any other disclosure included in, or the
appendix to, the Original Filing.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to address potential stockholder concerns regarding the number of options, stock
appreciation rights or other awards that the Company intends to grant in a given year, the Board
commits to the Company&#146;s stockholders, that for fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Company&#146;s
average annual burn rate for the aforementioned three fiscal years will not exceed 4.0%. For this
purpose, the &#147;burn rate&#148; for any fiscal year means the total number of shares of Company common
stock issuable upon exercise or payment, as the case may be, of the equity-based awards granted by
the Company under the 2008 Plan in that year, divided by the Company&#146;s total number of shares of
common stock issued and outstanding as of the end of that particular fiscal year. For purposes of
calculating the number of shares granted in a fiscal year, stock awards will count as equivalent to
2.0 option shares.
