Wave Regains Compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule

Lee, MA—July 24, 2013—Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ:WAVX) announced today that it received notice from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department that Wave has regained compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) relating to the minimum $1.00 per share bid price of the company’s Class A Common Stock. Shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock maintained a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for the required ten consecutive days, from July 9 through July 22, 2013.

Because the company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price rule, a previously scheduled hearing with the NASDAQ Hearing Panel has been deemed moot and will not be held.
