Rule 14a-8 Stockholder Proposal Deadline

The 2007 Annual Meeting date represents a change of more than 30 days from
the anniversary of UTStarcom's 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As a
result, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, UTStarcom has set a new deadline for the receipt of any stockholder
proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in UTStarcom's proxy
materials for the 2007 Annual Meeting. The new deadline for delivering
stockholder proposals to UTStarcom is the close of business on October 5,
2007. Such proposals should be delivered to: 1275 Harbor Bay Parkway,
Alameda, CA 94502, Attention: General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
UTStarcom recommends that such proposals be sent by certified mail, return
receipt requested. Such proposals also will need to comply with the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the inclusion of stockholder
proposals in UTStarcom's proxy materials, and may be omitted if not in
compliance with applicable requirements.

In accordance with the requirements for advance notice set forth in
UTStarcom's by-laws, in order for a stockholder proposal to be submitted
outside of Rule 14a-8 or a director nomination to be considered timely, such
proposal or nomination must be received by the General Counsel and Corporate

Such proposals must comply with Article II, Section 2.5 of UTStarcom's bylaws.
