<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On
October 2, 2007, the Board of Directors of UTStarcom, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;)
approved a restructuring plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) to reduce operating costs, which
includes a worldwide reduction in force of approximately 11% of the Company&#146;s
headcount, or approximately 700 employees. The workforce reduction will be
based primarily in the United States and China and, to a lesser degree, other
international locations. Management expects the Plan to be completed in the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. The Company expects to incur a
restructuring charge in connection with the Plan of approximately $10 million,
comprised largely of cash payments associated with one-time severance benefits,
with the majority of the charge to be taken in the fourth quarter of 2007. In
addition, the Company expects to realize annual cost savings in salary and
compensation-related expenses of approximately $21 million on an annualized
basis.</font></p>
