Other Events.

This Form 8-K is being filed in connection with certain
litigation concerning, among other things, the Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated November2, 2016, by and among Inteliquent, Inc.
(the Company), Onvoy Igloo Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub) and
Onvoy, LLC (Parent) (the Merger Agreement). Parent and Merger Sub
are affiliates of the private equity investment firm GTCR, LLC
(GTCR). to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with
and into the Company (the merger) with the Company surviving the
merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent.

As previously disclosed in the definitive proxy statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) by the
Company on December14, 2016 (the Definitive Proxy Statement), a
putative class action lawsuit challenging the proposed merger was
filed on behalf of Company stockholders in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The action
is captioned Lon v. Inteliquent, Inc., et al., Case
No.1:16-cv-11244 (N.D. Ill.). Subsequent to the filing of the
Definitive Proxy Statement, two additional putative class action
lawsuits challenging the proposed merger were filed on behalf of
Company stockholders in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois. These actions are captioned
Wiesenfeld v. Inteliquent, Inc., et al., Case
No.1:16-cv-11392 (N.D. Ill.) and Schwartz v. Inteliquent,
Inc., et al.
, Case No.1:16-cv-11494 (N.D. Ill.). These three
actions were consolidated on January5, 2017.

The plaintiffs in the consolidated action allege that the
Companys preliminary proxy statement (the Preliminary Proxy
Statement) filed with the SEC on December2, 2016 and the
Definitive Proxy Statement omitted material information regarding
the merger, rendering them false and misleading. The plaintiffs
allege, among other things, that the Definitive Proxy Statement
omits certain information relating to communications concerning
post-merger employment opportunities for the Companys directors
and officers, the Companys financial projections, the financial
analyses performed by the Companys financial advisor and the
results of the Companys go-shop process.

The defendants named in the consolidated action deny all
liability with respect to the facts and claims alleged in the
consolidated action and specifically deny that any further
disclosure is required to supplement the Definitive Proxy
Statement under any applicable rule, statute, regulation or law.
Nonetheless, the Company has determined to supplement the
Definitive Proxy Statement with the disclosures set forth below.
In making these supplemental disclosures, the Company and its
Board of Directors do not in any way admit the factual or legal
allegations in the consolidated action and further reserve all of
their rights and defenses with respect thereto.

The supplemental disclosures will not affect the merger
consideration to be paid to stockholders of the Company in
connection with the proposed merger or the timing of the special
meeting of stockholders of the Company scheduled for Tuesday,

caption Background of the Merger and between the second and third
sentences of the fifth bullet on page 39 of the Definitive Proxy
Statement
:

One of the participants contacted by the Company and its advisors

The following disclosure replaces the last paragraph on page

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
:

Sum-of-the-Parts Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Perella
Weinberg Partners performed a discounted cash flow analysis of
the Company on a sum-of-the-parts basis, separately conducting a
discounted cash flow analysis of Inteliquents core business and
Inteliquents Next Gen business. Discounted cash flow analysis is
a valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of a company
by calculating the present value of its estimated future
unlevered free cash flows (calculated, beginning with net
operating profit after tax as set forth in the Company Forecasts,
by adding back depreciation and amortization, subtracting capital
expenditures and adjusting for changes in working capital).
Present value refers to the current value of future unlevered
free cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those
future unlevered free cash flows or amounts to a specific point
in time by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic
assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of
capital, capital structure, income taxes, expected returns and
other appropriate factors.

The following disclosure replaces the first four paragraphs
on page 46 of the Definitive Proxy Statement under the caption
Opinion of the Companys Financial AdvisorValuation
AnalysesSum-of-the-Parts Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
:

For each of Inteliquents core business and Inteliquents Next Gen
business, Perella Weinberg Partners calculated the implied
enterprise value as the sum of (i)the net present value of
Company senior managements estimated future unlevered free cash
flows of such business during the six months ending December31,
2016 and during the complete calendar years 2017 through 2021, as
included in the Company Forecasts, and (ii)the net present value
of the terminal value of such business at the end of calendar
year 2021.

For Inteliquents core business, Perella Weinberg Partners
calculated the terminal value by applying a perpetual growth rate
range of (0.50%) 0.50% to Company senior managements estimated
future unlevered free cash flows of Inteliquents core business
for calendar year 2021. Such perpetual growth rates were selected
based on Perella Weinberg Partners understanding of the business
of Inteliquents core business based on discussions with Company
senior management. Perella Weinberg Partners then calculated the
net present values of the future unlevered free cash flows and
terminal value of Inteliquents core business by applying a
discount rate range of 7.75% 8.75% (which was selected based upon
an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of
Inteliquents core business calculated using the capital asset
pricing model), yielding an enterprise value range of
approximately $288 million to $354 million for Inteliquents core
business.

For Inteliquents Next Gen business, Perella Weinberg Partners
calculated the terminal value by applying an exit multiple range
of 8.0x to 12.0x to Company senior managements estimated EBITDA
of Inteliquents Next Gen business for calendar year 2021. Such
exit multiples were selected based upon Perella Weinberg Partners
professional judgment of appropriate valuation multiples for
Inteliquents Next Gen business, taking into account Company
senior managements expectations as to the future growth and
profitability of Inteliquents Next Gen business. Perella Weinberg
Partners then calculated the net present values of the future
unlevered free cash flows and terminal value of Inteliquents Next
Gen business by applying a discount rate range of 15.00% 20.00%
(which was selected based upon Perella Weinberg Partners
professional judgment taking into account an estimated cost of
capital for an early stage business of the Next Gen businesss
nature in light of its affiliation with and support from
Inteliquents core business), yielding an enterprise value range
of approximately $66 million to $129 million for Inteliquents
Next Gen business.

Perella Weinberg Partners then calculated the implied equity
value range of the Company by adding (i)the enterprise value
range of each of Inteliquents Core business and Inteliquents Next
Gen business and (ii)the Companys net cash amount of
approximately $120 million as of June30, 2016per Company senior
managements guidance. From this analysis, Perella Weinberg
Partners derived an indicative implied price per share range for
shares of Inteliquent common stock, as compared to the merger
consideration as set forth in the following table:

The following disclosure replaces the first full paragraph on
page 49 of the Definitive Proxy Statement under the caption

The Company Forecasts and the Preliminary Projections were made
available to the Board and Perella Weinberg Partners subsequent
to the non-binding indication of interest by GTCR and Onvoy. The
Preliminary Projections had initially been provided to the Board.
Thereafter, on October31, 2016, the Board received the Company
