State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
On June 12, 2006, a lawsuit was filed against Vonage Holdings Corp. and its subsidiary Vonage America Inc. (collectively, Vonage), by Verizon Services Corp. and Verizon Laboratories Inc. (collectively, Verizon), in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Verizon alleged that Vonage infringed seven patents in connection with providing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology services and sought injunctive relief, compensatory and treble damages and attorneys fees. After a trial on the merits, on March 8, 2007, a jury returned a verdict finding that Vonage infringed three of the patents-in-suit. The jury rejected Verizons claim for treble damages, willful infringement, and attorneys fees, and awarded compensatory damages in the amount of $58 million. On March 23, 2007, the Court issued an order enjoining Vonage from using certain VoIP technology named in patent litigation against Verizon. The Court stated that it would not execute the order until April 6, 2007, at which time it would consider whether to issue a stay pending Vonages appeal of the Courts decision. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the Courts decision, including whether Vonage will be required to post bond to secure a stay of injunction and whether and to what extent any interest will be assessed against Vonage, and the potentially material implications to Vonages financial results for the year ended December 31, 2006, Vonage cannot complete the preparation of its financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense. Vonage will file its Annual Report on Form 10-K no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
PART IV

If the answer is no, identify report(s). x Yes ¨ No |
(3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? x Yes ¨ No |
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
Until Vonage completes the evaluation of the accounting impact resulting from the Courts expected decision on April 6, 2007, Vonage is unable to complete its accounting for the year ended December 31, 2006.
