SAN JOSE, CA — December 26, 2007 —Endwave Corporation (Nasdaq: ENWV) today announced that it has consummated the purchase of shares under the previously-announced stock purchase agreement with the Wood River Funds. Under the stock purchase agreement, Endwave acquired 2,502,247 shares of Endwave common stock held by the Wood River Funds. The remaining 1,600,000 shares of Endwave common stock held by the Wood River Funds were sold to institutional investors. The price per share paid by Endwave in the share repurchase was $6.83. The receiver, on behalf of the Wood River entities, has reimbursed Endwave $300,000 for professional expenses incurred by Endwave and the mutual releases of claims set forth in the amended and restated settlement agreement have become effective.
“After two years of uncertainty, we are pleased to reach a final resolution with the Receiver for the Wood River Funds,” said Ed Keible, Endwave’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe this repurchase will improve the liquidity of our common stock and eliminates the overhang that has concerned many of our stockholders.”
