Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP Announces Notice Regarding Class Action Suit against Openwave Systems Inc. and Certain of Its Senior Officers and Directors



    Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP ("BLB&G") has announced
    that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States
    District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all
    persons or entities who purchased or acquired the common stock of
    Openwave Systems Inc. ("Openwave" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: OPWV)
    during the period between September 30, 2002 to October 26, 2006 (the
    "Class Period"). The case is captioned Fred Garfield v. Openwave
    Systems, Inc., et al. CV-07-1309 and is pending before the Honorable
    Denise Cote.

    The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Openwave and
    the Individual Defendants violated the federal securities laws by
    publicly issuing false and misleading statements. The Complaint
    alleges that the Company improperly accounted for grants of stock
    options which were backdated to provide the Company's executives with
    unreported benefits. Openwave has admitted that certain of its option
    grants were improperly backdated, and, as a result, it is required to
    correct its previously reported finances by taking additional charges
    of $182 million.

    The Complaint alleges that Defendants Openwave, David C.
    Peterschmidt, Harold L. Covert, Donald Listwin, and Alan Black
    violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
    "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and the
    Individual Defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

    If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no
    later than 60 days from February 26, 2007, the date on which notice
    was first published in Investors Business Daily. If you wish to
    discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or
    your rights or interests, please contact Plaintiff's counsel Gerald H.
    Silk or Salvatore J. Graziano of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann
    LLP ("BLB&G") at 212-554-1400, or via email at jerry@blbglaw.com or

    Complaint as filed online at
