___________________________
 
Notice is hereby given that an Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") of Radcom Ltd. (the "Company") will be held on November 24, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (Israel time), at the offices of the Company, 24 Raoul Wallenberg Street, Tel Aviv, Israel.
 
Throughout this Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and the enclosed Proxy Statement, we use terms such as "Radcom", "we", "us", "our" and "our company" to refer to Radcom Ltd. and terms such as "you" and "your" to refer to our shareholders.
 
The agenda of the Meeting will be as follows:
 
To approve the Company’s issuance of Ordinary Shares, NIS 0.20 nominal value per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares” and the “Transaction”, respectively), solely with respect to Mr. Zohar Zisapel and/or entities controlled by him and/or members of his family, who are “controlling shareholders” of the Company for the purpose of Section 268 of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), approved by the audit committee and the board of directors of the Company, as well as the grant by the Company to Mr. Zisapel of warrants to purchase one Ordinary Share per three Ordinary Shares issued (the “Warrants”), for a purchase price equal to $1 million.
 
As described above, Mr. Zohar Zisapel, a shareholder of the Company who is a “controlling shareholder” of the Company for the purpose of Section 268 of the Companies Law, has a personal interest in the Transaction.  As a result, the Transaction requires approval by a majority of the voting rights in person or by proxy and voting thereon (the “Voting Rights”) at the Meeting including at least one-third of the Voting Rights of the shareholders represented at the Meeting who do not have a personal interest in the matter (unless the total number of shares of the non-interested shareholders voting against the resolution, if any, does not represent more than one percent of the Company’s outstanding voting rights, in which case a simple majority of the Voting Rights represented at the Meeting is sufficient).
 
The Board of Directors (other than Mr. Zohar Zisapel who abstains, due to a personal interest) recommends a vote FOR approval of the Proposed Resolution to be voted upon at the Meeting.
 
Shareholders of record at the close of business on October 20, 2010, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting.  All shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Meeting in person.
 
Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, you are urged to promptly complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy and to mail it in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage if mailed in the United States. Return of your proxy does not deprive you of your right to attend the Meeting, to revoke the proxy and to vote your shares in person.
 
Joint holders of shares should take note that, pursuant to Article 32(d) of the Articles of Association of the Company, the vote of the senior holder of the joint shares who tenders a vote, in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s).  For this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Company’s Register of Members.

APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S ISSUANCE OF ORDINARY SHARES AND WARRANTS TO BUY ORDINARY SHARES TO ZOHAR ZISAPEL
 
The Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with several investors, among them Mr. Zohar Zisapel, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, for the issuance by the Company of Ordinary Shares in an aggregate amount of $5.5 million for a purchase price of $8.55. For purposes of determining the price per Ordinary Share in the transaction, the “Closing Price” means the average closing market price of the Ordinary Shares of the Company on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the execution date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Price”). The price per Ordinary Share was the Closing Price minus a discount of 12% (the “Price Per Share”).
 
At the closing of the transaction, the investors (other than Mr. Zisapel) were granted Warrants to purchase one Ordinary Share for every three Ordinary Shares purchased by them in the transaction.  The Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years after the closing for an exercise price per Ordinary Share of $10.69, which is equal to the Price Per Share plus 25%. As part of the transaction, the Company made customary representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement aimed to protect the interests of the investors. In addition, as part of the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted registration rights to the investors, under which it undertook to use its reasonably commercial efforts to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Ordinary Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement within 30 days after the closing of the transaction, as well as the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, and to keep such registration statement effective for a period of three (3) years, subject to standard exceptions. The Purchase Agreement contains a customary undertaking of the Company to indemnify the investors for liabilities and expenses that may arise from any material misstatements or omissions in the Company’s registration statement.  Roth Capital Partners, LLC was entitled to a 6% commission fee to be paid by the Company for investors participating in the transaction due to Roth Capital Partners, LLC's solicitation. The negotiations relating to the proposed transaction were conducted by the Company’s management, under the supervision of the audit committee, which is comprised of independent members of the board of directors.
 
 
 

 
 
The Company’s undertakings solely in connection with the participation of Zohar Zisapel in the proposed transaction as described above are subject, among other conditions, to the approval of the Company’s shareholders as described below.  If the Company’s shareholders do not approve the Company’s undertakings, then the Company’s obligations solely with respect to Mr. Zisapel's participation will be null and void.
 
Reasons for the Transaction
 
The Company’s management believes that the transaction and the proposed participation of Zohar Zisapel under the conditions of the transaction are favorable to the Company, and that the capital expected to be raised through the transaction will facilitate the fulfillment of the Company’s strategic objectives, as well as enhance the Company’s liquidity.
 
Required Approval
 
Mr. Zohar Zisapel has a personal interest in the proposed Transaction as described above, and holds more than 25% of the voting power and is therefore a “controlling shareholder” of the Company, as defined in Chapter V of the Companies Law. Mr. Zohar Zisapel executed the Purchase Agreement and intends to participate (either in person and/or through controlled entities and/or with family members) in the Transaction, in an aggregate amount of approximately $1 million. Therefore, the transaction, solely with respect to the participation of Mr. Zisapel, requires approval of the Company’s Audit Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders, in that order.  Section 275 of the Companies Law requires that the shareholder approval of transactions with a controlling shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest satisfy at least one of the following conditions:  (i) the shares voting in favor of the matter include at least one-third of the shares voted by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the matter or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the matter does not exceed 1% of the Company’s outstanding shares. In addition, since Mr. Zohar Zisapel is also a Director of the Company, the Transaction solely with respect to the participation of Mr. Zisapel, constitutes an “exceptional transaction” between the Company and one of its officers (as defined in the Companies Law), and consequently requires the approval of the Audit Committee and thereafter the approval of the Board of Directors, pursuant to Section 272(a) of the Companies Law.
 
Pursuant to Section 276 of the Companies Law, all shareholders are asked to indicate on the enclosed proxy card whether or not they have a personal interest in the proposed transaction.  Under the Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of any member of the shareholder’s immediate family (or spouses thereof) or a personal interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or such a family member thereof) serves as a director or the chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the shares or has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of shares in the Company.  Mr. Zohar Zisapel has a personal interest in this transaction.
 
The proposed transaction has been approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors, pursuant to Sections 272(a) and 275 of the Companies Law.
 
Proposed Resolution
 
It is therefore proposed that, at the Meeting, the following resolution be adopted:
 
 
 

 
 
RESOLVED, that the execution and performance of the transaction described in the Notice to Shareholders dated October 20, 2010, (the “Proxy Statement”), by and among the Company and the investors, solely in respect of the participation of Mr. Zohar Zisapel and/or entities controlled by him and/or members of his family, who is a “controlling shareholder” of the Company as defined by Chapter V of the Companies Law, including the execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants, and the issuance of the Ordinary Shares and Warrants, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement, and any amendments and supplements thereto that do not materially increase the obligations of the Company and that are approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company, be, and they hereby are, approved.”
 
The Board of Directors (other than Mr. Zohar Zisapel who abstains, due to a personal interest) recommends a vote FOR the proposed resolution.

 
By Order of the Board of Directors,
 
 
David Ripstein
 
Chief Executive Officer
