ITEM 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

On November 17, 2006, Openwave Systems Inc. (the “Company”), received an additional staff determination letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) advising the Company that it had failed to comply with the filing requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to the Company’s failure to timely file its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, and that its securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The Company previously received and announced a Nasdaq staff determination letter with respect to the Company’s failure to timely file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to appeal the staff determination regarding the failure to file its Form 10-K. On November 16, 2006, the Company attended a hearing before the Nasdaq Panel, at which it presented its plan to cure both filing deficiencies.

Both Nasdaq delisting actions have been automatically stayed pending the Nasdaq Panel’s decision. The Company’s stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market until the Panel issues its decision and during any extension that is allowed by the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for an extension and continued listing or that, if granted, the extension will be for the duration requested by the Company. The press release announcing the Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
