| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. On May 20, 2015, Andrew Dodge resigned his position as a director on the board of directors (the "Board") of Unwired Planet, Inc. (the "Issuer"). As a result of Mr. Dodge's resignation, 54,878 shares of restricted stock that were awarded as an annual director retainer that would have vested in full on November 3, 2015, contingent upon Mr. Dodge's continued service as a member of the Board, were forfeited to the Issuer. Mr. Dodge, a member of Indaba Partners, LLC ("Indaba Partners"), the general partner of Indaba Capital Fund, L.P. ("Indaba Capital"), and a limited partner of Indaba Capital Management, L.P. ("Indaba Capital Management"), the investment manager of Indaba Capital, was designated to serve on the Board by Indaba Capital. |
| 2. Due to the policies of Indaba Capital Management, Mr. Dodge was deemed to hold the shares of restricted stock awarded for the benefit of Indaba Capital and would have either transferred the shares of restricted stock to Indaba Capital upon vesting without consideration or transferred the proceeds of any sale of the restricted stock, less any amounts needed to cover tax obligations, to Indaba Capital. Indaba Capital and certain of its affiliates may have been deemed to have been the indirect beneficial owners of the shares of restricted stock reported herein. |
| 3. Indaba Capital directly holds 12,068,780 shares of the Issuer's common stock. Such shares of common stock directly held by Indaba Capital may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by (a) Indaba Capital Management, by virtue of its role as the investment manager of Indaba Capital, (b) Indaba Partners, by virtue of its role as the general partner of Indaba Capital, (c) IC GP, LLC, by virtue of its role as general partner of Indaba Capital Management, and (d) Derek C. Schrier as the Managing Member of IC GP, LLC and the Senior Managing Member of Indaba Partners. Each Reporting Person hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. |
