Wireless Telecom Group Announces Acceleration of Stock Options

9:16 pm - December 30th, 2005

Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. (AMEX Symbol: WTT) (the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved accelerating the vesting of all unvested stock options granted by the Company. The Board believes that it is in the best interest of shareholders as it will reduce the Company’s reported compensation expense in future periods.

As a result of the vesting acceleration, options to purchase 249,000 shares of the Company’s common stock became exercisable immediately including 96,000 held by executive officers, 34,000 held by non-employee directors and 119,000 held by other employees. Based upon closing stock price on the American Stock Exchange on December 28, 2005 of $2.60, 31% of the accelerated options do not have economic value at this time.

As a result of the accelerated vesting of stock options, the Company is not expected to be required to recognize anticipated stock option expense of approximately U.S. $125,000 in 2006 and U.S. $125,000 in 2007. The Company will report the impact of the acceleration as a fourth quarter event and in its 2005 financial statements by way of pro forma footnote disclosure, as permitted under the transition guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
