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

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On June 24, 2005, UTStarcom, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;)
entered into a privately negotiated transaction with a holder of its 0.875%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the &#147;Notes&#148;) pursuant to which the
holder exchanged $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an
aggregate of 1,482,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock, par value $0.00125
per share. As an incentive to exchange the Notes for shares of common stock, the
holder received from the Company an aggregate of $15,781,400 in cash.&#160; This exchange is considered an early
extinguishment of debt in which the aggregate fair value of the common stock
and cash is less than the carrying value of the Notes.&#160; Accordingly, the Company expects to record a
gain on extinguishment of approximately $11.0 million to $11.5 million.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The shares of common stock issued in this transaction
are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the &#147;1933 Act&#148;), pursuant to an exemption under Section 3(a)(9) of the
1933 Act.&#160; A portion of the Notes had
been registered and resold pursuant to a registration statement filed by the
Company pursuant to the 1933 Act, and no </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">commission or other
remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such
exchange.&#160; The remainder of the Notes
were eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the 1933
Act.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company will continue to review other
opportunities that may arise from time to time to reduce indebtedness and
interest expense, taking into account its current liquidity and prospects for
future access to the capital markets.&#160; In
that connection, the Company may acquire other outstanding securities in
exchange for common stock or a combination of cash and common stock through
other privately negotiated transactions.&#160;
The Company will evaluate any such transactions in light of then
existing market conditions and other relevant factors.&#160; The amounts involved in any such transaction,
individually or in the aggregate, may be material.</font></p>

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

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company issued a press release announcing the
exchange and cancellation of the Notes and the related issuance of common
stock.&#160; A copy of the press release,
dated June 29, 2005, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This Current Report on
Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including the foregoing
statements regarding the expected gain on extinguishment of the Notes and
possible future acquisitions by the Company of its outstanding securities.&#160; Investors are cautioned that these
forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain.&#160; These statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially.&#160; These risks include rapidly changing
technology, the changing nature of global telecommunications markets, both in
China and globally, the termination of significant contracts, the direction and
results of future research and development efforts, evolving product and
applications standards, reductions or delays in system deployments, product
transitions, potential non-realization of backlog, changes in demand for and
acceptance of the Company&#146;s products, the market price for the Company&#146;s
securities, general adverse economic conditions and trends and uncertainties
such as changes in government regulation and licensing requirements, both in
China and globally.&#160; For a detailed
discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, investors are directed
to the Company&#146;s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.</font></p>
