Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd., an affiliate of Ramius Capital Group, L.L.C. (Ramius Capital), together with the other participants named herein, has made a definitive filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of a proxy statement and an accompanying proxy card to be used to solicit votes for the election of its two nominees at the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders of Phoenix Technologies Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the Company).
Item 1: On January 29, 2007, Starboard delivered the following letter to the stockholders of the Company:
ATTENTION PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD. SHAREHOLDERS
Vote the enclosed WHITE proxy card
FOR
The Ramius Groups Two Director Nominees
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (Phoenix or the Company) faces many business challenges and a risky operational turnaround that we believe its board of directors (the Board) is not qualified to oversee. While Woody Hobbs and his new management team have taken the first steps, many difficult challenges in the Companys turnaround still lie ahead.
THIS BOARD WANTS YOU TO IGNORE ITS PAST MISTAKES
The current Phoenix Board would like you to forget about its past mistakes and the enormous destruction of shareholder value over the past five years. They would like you to believe that the current directors can effectively oversee a back-end loaded turnaround plan.
SHOULD THE BOARDS NOMINEES OVERSEE THE EXECUTION OF THIS CRITICAL TURNAROUND?
NOWE BELIEVE THE RECORD SHOWS THAT THESE NOMINEES SIMPLY ARE NOT QUALIFIED
When faced with past pressure to grow revenue, these nominees were part of a Board that allowed management to:
o | Diversify into a now defunct enterprise software business, |
o | Organically build a worthless enterprise sales channel, and |
o | Sell products on a fully paid-up license basissacrificing tens of millions of dollars in profits. |
These decisions temporarily increased revenue, but proved to be major mistakes. They ultimately damaged the core business and resulted in significant destruction of shareholder value.
Managements current turnaround plan assumes substantial acquisitions that have not yet been identified and new product introductions that have not yet been developed.
Do you really believe the current Board should oversee these and other critical decisions? Simply - This Board has failed shareholders. The TERRIBLE results speak for themselves:
o | From January 25, 2002 through today, Phoenixs share price is down from $12.96 to $5.65, a reduction in value of 56.4%. This represents a loss to shareholders of over $182 million. | |||
o | In fiscal year 2006 Phoenix reported revenue of $60.5 million, which is 35.0% lower than the $93.1 million in revenue in the fiscal year 2002. | |||
o | Over the last five fiscal years this Board has overseen a loss of $74.8 million, including a loss of $44.0 million in the fiscal year 2006. |
o | Since fiscal year 2001, Phoenix spent $122.9 million on research & development. The new management team then chose to shut down the new initiatives, apparently realizing that they werent even saleable. |
THE BOARDS NOMINEES HAVE NO PERSONAL INVESTMENT IN YOUR COMPANY
IN FACT, THEY HAVE NOT INVESTED ONE DOLLAR IN PHOENIX!
To
the contrary, during their service, these directors have taken HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars out of your Company in the form of compensation. |
o | Chairman David Dury has been on the Board for 5 years. CHAIRMAN DURY HAS NOT BOUGHT ONE SHARE OF STOCK AND OWNS NOT ONE SHARE OF STOCK OUTRIGHT. |
o | Taher Elgamal has been on the Board for 7 years. DR. ELGAMAL HAS NOT BOUGHT ONE SHARE OF STOCK AND OWNS NOT ONE SHARE OF STOCK OUTRIGHT. |
Chairman Dury and Dr. Elgamal have overseen shareholder losses of over $182 million. Since they own no stock, they have not lost a penny.
CHAIRMAN DURY IS NO LONGER INDEPENDENT
In addition to Mr. Durys poor track record as a member of the Board of Phoenix, he is also not independent. According to the Companys proxy statement, Mr. Dury is not independent because his wife served as a consultant to the Company until June 2006 and in such capacity received remuneration in excess of the limits permitted by the NASDAQ rules governing director independence. Our nominees ARE independent. Our nominees will independently represent the best interests of ALL shareholders.
CHAIRMAN DURY AND DR. ELGAMALS INTERESTS ARE NOT ALIGNED WITH THOSE OF THE COMPANYS SHAREHOLDERS
THE RAMIUS GROUPS NOMINEES ARE DEDICATED TO MAXIMIZING VALUE FOR ALL SHAREHOLDERS
We made an offer to acquire the Company because we did not trust this Board to oversee our substantial investment properly. As the collective owners of 13.7% of the Companys shares, we are committed to maximizing the value of the Companys stock.
Compare us to the Companys two nominees, who have 7 and 5 years of service on the Board and DONT OWN A SINGLE SHARE OF YOUR COMPANYS STOCK!
OUR NOMINEES ARE MORE QUALIFIED!
Our nominees are committed to acting in the best interest of all shareholders and will work diligently, consistent with their fiduciary duties, to assess all options for maximizing shareholder value.

In March 2003, Mr. Mutch was appointed to the Board of Directors of Peregrine Systems (NASD: PRGN.PK) (Peregrine), a global enterprise software provider.

YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT
By voting for our nominees, you empower our nominees, from a minority position, to re-evaluate managements plan, and any other alternatives to maximize shareholder value. They can, and will, appropriately represent the shareholders best interest.
If elected, our nominees will work diligently with management and the Board to:
o | Take a fresh look at the Companys competitive position and managements operating and strategic plan, |
o | Help the Board to properly risk-assess ALL available strategic alternatives, and |
o | Recommend to the Board, subject to their fiduciary duty, that the Company pursue any strategic alternative that is in the best interest of ALL shareholders. |
If elected, our nominees will not control the Board. They will represent a minority of the Board, and therefore, by themselves cannot force the implementation of any one strategic alternative.

RAMIUS ENCOURAGES PHOENIX SHAREHOLDERS TO VOTE FOR ITS NOMINEES IN UPCOMING BOARD ELECTION
Ramius Nominees Are Independent and More Qualified
New YorkJanuary 29, 2007Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd., an affiliate of Ramius Capital Group, L.L.C. (together, Ramius) today issued a letter to all shareholders of Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (Phoenix or the Company) in which Ramius urged all shareholders to vote for its two director nominees at the upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
In the letter, Ramius questioned whether this Board was qualified to oversee the Companys back-end loaded turnaround plan. The letter also noted that the interests of the Companys nominees are not aligned with shareholders interests because the Companys nominees do not own a single share of Phoenix stock.
Ramius Executive Managing Director Jeffrey C. Smith, stated, We do not believe that the Boards nominees should oversee the execution of the Companys critical turnaround. These are the same nominees who, over the past five years, have overseen decisions that have damaged the core business and resulted in significant destruction of shareholder value, including a cumulative loss of $74.8 million.
If elected, our nominees will work diligently to maximize value for all shareholders. Our nominees are highly qualified to responsibly oversee this Company.
Ramius nominees, John Mutch and Philip Moyer, look to replace the two current Class II directors whose terms will expire at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which has been scheduled for February 14, 2007. Ramius filed its definitive proxy materials regarding the upcoming election with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 25, 2007.
