Section 7 - Regulation FD.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Openwave Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that three shareholders have filed separate derivative lawsuits in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California and San Mateo County Superior Court, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against members of the Company’s board of directors and several current and former officers. The complaints, which were filed on May 26 and May 30, 2006, allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by authorizing, or failing to halt, the supposed back-dating of certain stock options. The complaints also claim that the Company issued false and misleading financial statements and proxy statements in 2002 through 2005 relating to alleged options back-dating.

The Company’s board of directors is reviewing the allegations in the complaints.

The Company does not intend to file further current reports on Form 8-K describing additional lawsuits, if any, which are based on allegations substantially similar to those contained in the complaints described herein.

The information furnished in this report in this item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
