YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT
PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR PROXY TODAY

November 12, 2010
 
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
 
We have previously mailed to you proxy materials in connection with the Special Meeting of Shareholders of Ulticom, Inc. (“Ulticom”) to be held on December 2, 2010.   Your vote is important and your participation is requested at this important meeting.
 
As you may know, on October 12, 2010, Ulticom agreed to be acquired by Utah Intermediate Holding Corporation, an affiliate of Platinum Equity Capital Partners II, L.P. (“Platinum”). If the proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Proposal”) is approved by (i) a majority of outstanding shares and (ii) a majority of minority shareholders (excludes Comverse Technologies, Ulticom insiders and Platinum), shareholders would receive a dividend payment of $5.74 in cash per share and merger consideration of $2.33 in cash per share.
 
After careful consideration, our board of directors has unanimously resolved to approve the terms of the merger agreement and the merger, and has determined that the merger consideration to be received by our shareholders for their shares of Ulticom common stock, other than the shares of Ulticom common stock held by Comverse Technology, Inc. (which shall be purchased by Platinum’s holding company prior to the merger and cancelled in the merger), is fair to and in the best interests of such shareholders.  The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the merger.
 
Please submit your important vote as promptly as possible (1) by telephone, (2) through the Internet, or (3) by marking, signing, and dating the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form and returning it in the postage-paid return envelope provided. If you have previously returned your proxy, please accept our thanks and disregard this request.
 
Thank you for your cooperation, continued support and prompt response.

 
  Sincerely, 
   
 
   
 
Shawn Osborne
President and Chief Executive Officer
 
 
 
 
 ************BREAKING NEWS************
Institutional Shareholder Services (“ ISS ”), the leading independent proxy advisory firm, recommended that its institutional clients vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal.  In its analysis, ISS stated, “Despite the minimal premium, the proposed merger consideration seems to offer shareholders a viable exit mechanism given the company's very limited trading volume and declining revenues and shareholder returns. We further note that majority shareholder Comverse, which controls 66 percent of the company's shares, has agreed to support this transaction.”
