<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On
April 4, 2005, the board of directors of Wireless Facilities, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;)
appointed Andrew M. Leitch as a new director, to serve until his successor is
duly elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.&#160; This appointment by the Company&#146;s board of
directors was based on the recommendation of its nominating committee. &#160;Mr. Leitch was recommended to the nominating
committee by members of the Company&#146;s board of directors, and has been
determined by the Company&#146;s board of directors to be independent, as
independence is currently defined in Rule 4200(a)(15)
of the Nasdaq listing standards.&#160; Mr.
Leitch was also appointed to the audit committee and nominating committee.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
connection with his appointment, the Company granted to Mr. Leitch an option to
purchase 20,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$6.28 per share under the Company&#146;s 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. Twenty-five
percent of the total number of shares subject to the option will vest on the
first anniversary of the date of grant and 1/48 of the total number of shares
subject to the option shall vest on each monthly anniversary of the date of
grant thereafter, subject to Mr. Leitch&#146;s continued service for the Company.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
