PROPOSES STRATEGIC TRANSACTION WITH RELM WIRELESS CORPORATION Open Letter to the Relm Wireless Board of Directors. On July 21, 2004, Wireless Age Communications, Inc., a company headquartered at 13980 Jane Street, King City, Ontario, Canada, L7B 1A3, delivered an open letter to the Board of Directors of Relm Wireless Corporation regarding a strategic transaction with Relm Wireless Corporation. The text of the letter follows: July 21, 2004 VIA TELECOPIER Board of Directors Relm Wireless Corporation 7100 Technology Drive West Melbourne, Florida 32904 Attention: Mr. George N. Benjamin, III, Mr. David P. Storey, Mr. Ralph R. Whitney Jr., Mr. James C. Gale, Mr. Donald F.U. Goebert and Mr. Randolph K. Piechocki Re: Strategic Transaction Gentlemen, We have received the response by the Board of Directors of Relm Wireless Corporation ("Relm Wireless") to the Wireless Age Communications, Inc. ("Wireless Age") proposal for a stock-for-stock merger proposal offer which you have declined. We believe it is appropriate for you to demonstrate your fiduciary duties to your shareholders to enter into good faith negotiations to conclude a transaction. Pursuant to our offer, Relm Wireless shareholders would have the ability to receive two shares of Wireless Age common stock in respect of each share of Relm Wireless. Conversely to the Relm Wireless Board's perception of our offer, we note that the public capital markets responded overwhelmingly in favor of our proposal. As of the date of this letter the Relm Wireless stock price is trading at a premium in value of approximately 10% over recent three month prices. In addition, recent Relm Wireless stock trading volume activity also increased dramatically, reaching almost 2,000% of the prior day's activity on the first trading day after our announcement. We believe that the foregoing public reaction to our offer merits further attention by the Board of Relm Wireless and on behalf of all Relm Wireless stock holders we recommend that you reconsider your initial reaction to our proposal. As noted in our initial offer letter to you, we believe our proposal for unlocking Relm Wireless shareholder value through combined operations will be a far superior alternative to the Relm Wireless shareholders. We are prepared to commit the resources necessary to promptly complete this transaction. We note that if you are unwilling to reconsider our offer, which we believe is in the best interests of the Relm Wireless shareholders, we intend to make our offer directly to the Relm Wireless shareholders. We look forward to hearing from you and working constructively with you. Regards, WIRELESS AGE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
