On August
25, 2010, AltiGen Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Gilbert
Hu, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
Directors will transition from his role as Chief Executive Officer to President
of Asia-Pacific effective as of October 1, 2010. Mr. Hu will continue
to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Company also
announced that Jeremiah J. Fleming, the Company’s current President and Chief
Operating Officer will assume the title of President and Chief Executive Officer
effective as of October 1, 2010. Mr. Fleming will also continue to serve as a
member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The transition of Mr.
Hu’s position from Chief Executive Officer to President of Asia-Pacific Region
will not trigger the Company’s severance obligations under Mr. Hu’s employment
agreement with the Company, but such severance provisions will continue to
remain in place after such transition. There are no arrangements or
understandings between either of Mr. Fleming or Mr. Hu and any other person(s)
pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as an officer of the Company that
are required to be disclosed by Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K.

Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company since its
