RELM Wireless Corporation Announces Redemption of Public Warrants

WEST MELBOURNE, Florida, April 30, 2004 - RELM Wireless Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: RELM - NEWS) today announced the redemption of all its outstanding public common stock purchase warrants (OTC Bulletin Board: RELMW - News) that were issued as part of the Company’s rights offering in March 2002. The warrants are redeemable at $0.10 per warrant. The redemption date for the warrants is May 31, 2004.

Under the terms of the warrants, the Company may redeem the warrants for $0.10 each when the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 150% of the exercise price ($1.575) for 20 consecutive trading days. The price of the Company’s common stock currently meets that criterion. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.05. Each warrant will continue to be exercisable for one share of common stock at $1.05 per share until 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on May 30, 2004. After that date, the warrants shall no longer be exercisable, and holders will have the right to receive only the redemption price of $0.10 per warrant.

There were 2,982,859 warrants outstanding as of April 12, 2004. The exercise of all these warrants would generate approximately $2.9 million in net proceeds after paying Noble International Investments, Incorporated a commission equal to five percent (5%) of the exercise price of each warrant for serving as exclusive warrant solicitation agent. These proceeds could be utilized to further expand the Company’s digital development efforts. A portion of the proceeds may also be used to retire our convertible subordinated notes if they are not converted to common stock by the end of this calendar year. As of April 12, 2004, 467,448 shares of common stock had been issued as a result of the exercise of warrants, generating approximately $466,000 in net proceeds.

Questions and requests for information or assistance in connection with the exercise or redemption of the warrants should be directed to either of the following:
