AMENDMENT NO. 1

TO

SCHEDULE TO

 

This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) amends the Schedule TO relating to an offer to exchange certain outstanding options by UTStarcom, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“UTStarcom” or the “Company”), filed with the SEC on September 4, 2008, and is the final amendment relating to the offer.  The purpose of this Amendment is to report the results of the Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Options for New Options dated September 4, 2008 (the “Offer to Exchange”).  Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meaning given to such terms in the Schedule TO.

 

Item 4.                   Terms of the Transaction.

 

(a)           Material Terms.

 

The Offer to Exchange, including all withdrawal rights, expired at 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time on October 1, 2008.

 

A total of 124 Eligible Employees who were subject to U.S. taxation elected to amend, in the aggregate, 858,885 Discount Options to modify the exercise price per share of such options in order to eliminate the potential adverse tax consequences of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

A total of 1,541 Eligible Employees elected to exchange, in the aggregate, 6,072,818 Eligible Options (including amended Discount Options) for 1,983,920 new options issued under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.  The new options have an exercise price of $3.24 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on October 1, 2008.

 

As of October 1, 2008, 1,014,323 Eligible Options had not been tendered for exchange and remain outstanding according to their original terms and subject to the Company’s 1997 Stock Plan.  With respect to the shares of the Company’s common stock covered by the 6,072,818 Eligible Options tendered and cancelled in the exchange, (a) 1,983,920 shares are covered by the new options issued under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, (b) 3,200,000 shares were returned to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan share reserve and are available for future grants, and (c) 888,898 shares are no longer available for future grants under any equity plan.
