By the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action A settlement hearing will be held on August 21, 2000, at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable Gary L.

The original complaint charges the Company and certain officers/directors with making false representations that continuing strong demand for the Company's cellular telephone amplifier in South Korea, and successful geographic diversification of the Company's business would generate 30%- 40% earnings per share, thus artificially inflating Powerwave's stock. Then, on 1/15/98, Powerwave admitted that, due to order cancellations from its largest Korean customers, problems with Korean currency and an inability to make up the Korean sales shortfall elsewhere, its 1998-99 results were going to be much worse than forecast. Powerwave's stock then dropped by almost 40% on that one day.
