| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Distribution of shares of Common Stock on a pro rata basis for no consideration to its limited partners. |
| 2. These securities are owned directly by Prides Capital Fund I, L.P. Prides Capital Partners LLC is a general partner of Prides Capital Fund I, L.P. and Mr. Richardson is the controlling shareholder of Prides Capital Partners LLC; therefore, he may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such securities. Mr. Richardson has also been deputized by Prides Capital Partners LLC to serve on the board of directors of the issuer. By reason of the provisions of Rule 16a-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Mr. Richardson may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an indeterminate portion of the securities of SANUWAVE Health, Inc. beneficially owned by Prides Capital Fund I, L.P. Mr. Richardson disclaims beneficial ownership of all such securities except to the extent of any indirect pecuniary interest (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 of the Exchange Act) therein. This Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Richardson is a beneficial owner. |
