WE NEED YOUR VOTE NOW!

WE ARE ONLY 2% AWAY FROM ADOPTING AN

ANNUALLY ELECTED BOARD OF DIRECTORS – A

PRACTICE THAT IS WIDELY ENCOURAGED AND

SUPPORTED BY THE INVESTMENT COMMUNITY

Dear Unvoted ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. Stockholder:

By now you know that we commenced our Annual Meeting on December 18, 2013. At the meeting stockholders voted on and approved the election of Anthony Bergamo to the Board of Directors and an advisory vote on executive compensation. However, the annual meeting was adjourned with respect to the proposal to declassify the Board of Directors (Proposal 2) to allow stockholders additional time to vote.

Approximately 73% of outstanding shares have voted in support of the

declassification proposal, compared to 75% required for passage.

Proposal 2 would eliminate the classification of the Board and provide instead for the annual election of Directors. We believe that an annually elected Board of Directors represents good corporate governance and is in the best interests of the Company, our stockholders and our clients. Many Corporate Governance experts, mutual fund managers and business academics agree that an annually elected board services the interests of everyone. Please vote today. We are only 2% away from adopting this widely accepted and encouraged standard.

We encourage all stockholders who have not voted yet to do so

promptly to allow the Company to adopt this highly regarded corporate

governance practice and to avoid further delay and expense. A duplicate

proxy card is enclosed for your use.

Our records indicate that we have not yet received your proxy. Please take a moment to vote today using the enclosed proxy card. You may also vote via phone or internet by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. It will only take a minute of your time and help us to avoid additional expense and mailings of proxy materials

The Annual Meeting has now been adjourned until 9:00 am Eastern time on March 11, 2014. Please vote your proxy today. If you need any assistance in voting, please call our proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, Inc., at (212) 929-5500 or toll-free at (800) 322-2885 or via email at proxy@mackenziepartners.com.
