October 26, 2006, the board of directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) of UTStarcom, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;),</font> appointed Francis&nbsp;P. Barton, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of the Company, to serve as a Class III member of the Board,
effective immediately. Mr.&nbsp;Barton will also continue to serve as the
Company&#146;s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As previously described in
Amendment No. 1 to the Company&#146;s definitive proxy statement as filed with the
SEC on June 21, 2006 (the &#147;Proxy Statement&#148;), Mr.&nbsp;Barton may be entitled
to certain severance benefits pursuant to the Change of Control/Involuntary
Termination Severance Agreement dated September&nbsp;6, 2005, as amended by the
Board on June&nbsp;20, 2006. As previously described in the Company&#146;s current
report on Form&nbsp;8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;)
on March&nbsp;6, 2006, Mr.&nbsp;Barton&#146;s compensation for the year 2006 as the
Company&#146;s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer includes
approximately $500,000 in cash payment and an option to purchase approximately
92,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. An award of 46,000 shares of
restricted stock for Mr.&nbsp;Barton previously approved by the Board expired
unexercised. As previously described in the Company&#146;s current report on Form
8-K filed with the SEC on September&nbsp;12, 2005, in September 2005 the
Company and Mr.&nbsp;Barton entered into (1)&nbsp;a restricted stock agreement,
pursuant to which Mr.&nbsp;Barton purchased 100,000 shares of the Company&#146;s
common stock, (2)&nbsp;a standard indemnification agreement, and (3)&nbsp;a
Change of Control/Involuntary Termination Severance Agreement. As previously
described in the Company&#146;s current report on Form&nbsp;8-K filed with the SEC
on August&nbsp;4, 2005, in July 2005 the Company and Mr.&nbsp;Barton entered
into an agreement providing that Mr.&nbsp;Barton shall, upon commencement of
employment with the Company, receive an annual salary of $500,000, a signing
bonus of $250,000, an annual bonus for the 2005 calendar year of up to
$250,000, an option to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company
at fair market value on the date of grant and a share purchase right for the
purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company at par value. Other
than compensation for his services as the Company&#146;s Executive Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer and standard employment arrangements, Mr.&nbsp;Barton
has not entered into any transaction or proposed transaction with the Company. For
more information on Mr.&nbsp;Barton&#146;s compensation and employment arrangements,
please see the Company&#146;s Proxy Statement and the Current Reports on Form&nbsp;8-K
as filed with the SEC on March&nbsp;6, 2006, September&nbsp;12, 2005 and
