Ottawa, Canada, April 13, 2016 - DragonWave Inc. (TSX: DWI; NASDAQ: DRWI) a leading global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access networks, has closed a registered direct offering previously announced on April 7, 2016.

The price per common share and half of a warrant was US$7.25 and resulted in total gross proceeds to the Company of US$4.35 million.

The net proceeds of the offering, before expenses, were approximately US$4.0 million. The Company expects that any exercise of the warrants will result in the cash proceeds from the exercise of such warrants being paid to the Company.

The Common Shares described above were sold in the United States pursuant to registration statement on Form F-3, including the accompanying base prospectus forming a part thereof, previously filed with, and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Copies of the final prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus relating to this Offering may be obtained from Rodman & Renshaw, a unit of H.C.

The warrants were offered in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder and have not been registered under the Securities Act. In connection with the offering, the Company relied on the exemptions in Section 602.1 of the Toronto Stock Exchange Company Manual with respect to the rules applicable to private placements and unlisted warrants.
