  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On April&nbsp;29, 2008, Wave Systems Corp. (the &#147;Company&#148;) received
  notification from the Listing Qualifications division of The Nasdaq Stock
  Market indicating that the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A common stock is subject to
  potential delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market because the market value of
  the Company&#146;s common stock was below $50 million for 10 consecutive business
  days, and, therefore, did not meet the requirement set forth in Nasdaq
  Marketplace Rule&nbsp;4450(b)(1)(A)&nbsp;(the &#147;Market Value Rule&#148;).&#160; Thereafter, on May&nbsp;5, 2008, the Company
  received an additional notification from the Listing Qualifications division of
  The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Common stock
  is subject to potential delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market because for the
  prior 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A
  common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued
  inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule&nbsp;4450 (the &#147;Bid Price Rule&#148;).</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule&nbsp;4450(e)(4), the Company
  was provided a period of 30 calendar days, or until May&nbsp;29, 2008, to
  regain compliance with the Marketplace Rule, and, in accordance with Nasdaq
  Marketplace Rule&nbsp;4450(e)(2), the Company is provided 180 calendar days, or
  until November&nbsp;3, 2008, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On May&nbsp;30, 2008, Company received notification from The Nasdaq
  Stock Market indicating that the Company failed to regain compliance with the
  Market Value Rule&nbsp;for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global
  Market.&#160; Under the Nasdaq rules, Wave
  plans to request an appeal hearing before the Listings Qualifications Panel and
  expects such hearing to be held within four to six weeks. However, there can be
  no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company&#146;s request for continued
  listing.&#160; The Company&#146;s shares will
  continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market pending the outcome of the
  appeal. In the event of an unfavorable determination by the Listing
  Qualifications Panel, the Company would alternatively apply to have its common
  stock transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market, as long as it continues to
  satisfy the applicable initial listing requirements for such market other than
  the minimum bid requirement. The Company may&nbsp;also elect to make such
  application prior to the hearing of the appeal. If such application is
  approved, Wave may be afforded the remainder of The Nasdaq Capital Market&#146;s 180
  calendar day compliance period (i.e. until November&nbsp;3, 2008) in order to
  regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.</font></p>

  Item 3.01
  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing
    Rule or Standard;
  Transfer of Listing.
  On April 29, 2008, Wave Systems Corp. (the "Company") received
  notification from the Listing Qualifications division of The Nasdaq Stock
  Market indicating that the Company's Class A common stock is subject to
  potential delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market because the market value of
  the Company's common stock was below $50 million for 10 consecutive business
  days, and, therefore, did not meet the requirement set forth in Nasdaq
  Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(A) (the "Market Value Rule").  Thereafter, on May 5, 2008, the Company
  received an additional notification from the Listing Qualifications division of
  The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company's Class A Common stock
  is subject to potential delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market because for the
  prior 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company's Class A
  common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued
  inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450 (the "Bid Price Rule").
  In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(4), the Company
  was provided a period of 30 calendar days, or until May 29, 2008, to
  regain compliance with the Marketplace Rule, and, in accordance with Nasdaq
  Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company is provided 180 calendar days, or
  until November 3, 2008, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
  On May 30, 2008, Company received notification from The Nasdaq
  Stock Market indicating that the Company failed to regain compliance with the
  Market Value Rule for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global
  Market.  Under the Nasdaq rules, Wave
  plans to request an appeal hearing before the Listings Qualifications Panel and
  expects such hearing to be held within four to six weeks. However, there can be
  no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued
  listing.  The Company's shares will
  continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market pending the outcome of the
  appeal. In the event of an unfavorable determination by the Listing
  Qualifications Panel, the Company would alternatively apply to have its common
  stock transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market, as long as it continues to
  satisfy the applicable initial listing requirements for such market other than
  the minimum bid requirement. The Company may also elect to make such
  application prior to the hearing of the appeal. If such application is
  approved, Wave may be afforded the remainder of The Nasdaq Capital Market's 180
  calendar day compliance period (i.e. until November 3, 2008) in order to
  regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
  A copy of the Company's press release announcing this information is
  attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
  reference.
