On October 28, 2009, Forgent Networks, Inc. (the “Company) issued a press release announcing that its 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is currently expected to be held on December 17, 2009.


2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
 
Forgent Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) has scheduled its 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders for December 17, 2009.  The Company’s board of directors has set the close of business on November 10, 2009, as the record date for shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The Company will provide the time and location of the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in its proxy materials which it expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in November of 2009.
 
Rule 14a-8 Shareholder Proposal Deadline
 
The expected date of the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  As a result, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company has set a revised deadline for the receipt of any shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The new deadline for delivering shareholder proposals to the Company is the close of business on November 15, 2009, which date was calculated in accordance with Rule 14a-8(e).  In order for a shareholder proposal to be considered, it must be received by the Company on or prior to the close of business on November 15, 2009 at its principal executive offices at 108 Wild Basin Road, Austin, Texas 78746.  Notices of proxy proposals should be sent to the attention of Pat Goepel, Chief Executive Officer.  The Company recommends that such proposals be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.  Shareholder proposals also will need to comply with the rules of the SEC regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in proxy materials, and may be omitted if not in compliance with applicable requirements.
 

 
Bylaws Deadline
 
In accordance with the Company’s bylaws, for director nominations or other business to be brought before the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, other than Rule 14a-8 proposals described above, written notice must be delivered no later than the close of business on Monday November 9, 2009.  Such notices must also comply with any other requirements of the Company’s bylaws, and should be sent to the attention of Pat Goepel, Interim Chief Executive Officer at 108 Wild Basin Road, Austin TX, 78746.
