UNWIRED PLANET, INC. ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND
FISCAL END 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS
RENO, NV – August 15, 2013 – Unwired Planet, Inc. (UPIP) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal end 2013.
“This past quarter we continued to build on our licensing efforts and have made significant progress in expanding the number of discussions underway,” said Eric Vetter, president and chief administrative officer of Unwired Planet. “In addition, at the end of June we executed a capital raise and in July we completed the transformation of our board of directors, both intended to support our long term IP strategy. With these changes in place, we believe we have fully transitioned the company to a licensing business.”
Simultaneously, Unwired Planet today announced the initiation of its Rights Offering, which will commence on Monday, August 19th, 2013. Shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York time, on July 8, 2013, will receive the Rights Offering prospectus and related materials from the Company’s information agent, Georgeson. Under the Rights Offering each shareholder of record has the option to purchase their proportionate share of the approximately 7.5M shares being offered at $1.66 per share. The Rights Offering period will be open until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on Monday, September 9th, 2013 unless we extend such period.
For more information on recent developments at Unwired Planet, please see our blog update posted today that can be found on the company’s website.

Non-GAAP Measure
The Company’s stated results include the non-GAAP measures: non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that generally are non-recurring events or are non-cash items that many other companies exclude, in order to compare Unwired Planet with other companies, such as stock-based compensation. These non-GAAP measures also exclude items which management does not consider in evaluating Unwired Planet’s on-going business, such as restructuring costs and discontinued operations. Unwired Planet considers non-GAAP net income (loss) to be an important metric because it provides a useful measure of the operational performance of Unwired Planet and is used by Unwired Planet’s management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the financial performance of a company. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding Unwired Planet’s operating results. These non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
