Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On
September 12, 2017, the Compensation Committee, Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors of IDT Corporation (the
“Registrant”) approved a compensatory arrangement with Howard S. Jonas, the Chairman of the Board of the Registrant.
The Registrant holds the right to receive nine percent of the equity interests in Rafael Pharmaceutical, Inc. (f/k/a Cornerstone
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) (“Rafael”) upon the happening of any of the following: (i) Food and Drug Administration approval
of a Rafael drug application, (ii) an initial public offering of Rafael at a valuation of over $500 million or (iii) a sale of
Rafael above certain valuations (the “Right”). None of the conditions have been satisfied and the Right remains contingent.
The Right is expressly transferable to designees of the Registrant that assist Rafael. Rafael is a clinical stage, oncology-focused
pharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of therapies targeting cancer metabolism that exploit
the metabolic differences between normal cells and cancer cells. Mr. Jonas has assumed the role as Chairman of Rafael and is active
in overseeing the Registrant’s interest and is providing instrumental support to Rafael’s development. In compensation
for assuming that role and to create additional incentive to contribute to the success of Rafael, the Registrant will, later this
fiscal quarter, transfer the Right to Mr. Jonas, and the Right will be further transferable by Mr. Jonas, in his discretion, to
others, including those who are instrumental to the future success of Rafael.
