Introduction
This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the
Statement) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) by SoundBite Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company or SoundBite), on June 4, 2013. The
Statement relates to the tender offer by Sonar Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (Purchaser), and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc., a California corporation (Parent), to
purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the Shares) at a purchase price of $5.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less taxes required to be withheld, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 4, 2013, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Parent and Purchaser with
the SEC on June 4, 2013.
Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the original Statement remains unchanged and
is incorporated herein by reference as relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement.

Legal Proceedings
to page 37 of the Statement:
(h) Legal Proceedings
On June 17, 2013, Stephen Gravener, a
purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in the Superior Court Department of the Trial Court of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, against the individual members of the Board, the Company, Parent and Purchaser,
captioned
Gravener v. SoundBite Communications, Inc., et al.
, Civil Action No. 13-2273, challenging the proposed transaction (the Gravener Action). Plaintiff Graveners class action complaint generally alleges, among
other things, that the individual members of the Board breached their fiduciary duties owed to the public stockholders of the Company by failing to maximize the consideration available to the Companys stockholders, and that Parent and
Purchaser aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties. In addition, the complaint alleges that the proposed transaction favors Company insiders to the detriment of the Companys stockholders and that certain provisions of the Merger
Agreement improperly favor Purchaser and impede a potential alternative transaction. The complaint also alleges that the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company on June 4, 2013 omits certain material information. The complaint generally seeks,
among other things, injunctive relief prohibiting the defendants from consummating the proposed transaction, rescission, to the extent already implemented, of the proposed transaction and other forms of relief.
The summary and description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the class action complaint filed in the Gravener Action, which
has been filed as Exhibit (a)(9) to this Statement, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9,
