Mayer Appointed Interim CEO/CRO

WEST CHICAGO, IL -- 10/28/2005 -- M-Wave, Inc. (NASDAQ: MWAV), a provider of international electronic procurement services and a virtual manufacturer of customer-specified electronic and satellite installation components announced it had appointed a Special Committee of the Board of Directors to immediately review strategic options including the sale or merger of all or part of the Company.

In connection with this action, the Board appointed Jim Mayer, its former CEO as the Interim CEO and Chief Restructuring Officer, replacing Joe Turek, the firm's current CEO who now assumes the role of Chief Operating Officer, but continues as Chairman of the Board. "Jim and I have worked well together in the past, and this now allows us to concentrate on the areas where we can best serve the company and its shareholders," remarked Joe Turek.

The Special Committee of the Board is composed of independent directors that include Bruce Nelson, also M-Wave's chairman of its audit committee; Glenn Norem, who is chairman of its compensation committee and Gary Castagna, the former chairman of the audit committee. The Special Committee will be tasked with hiring the requisite third party professionals to effectuate the goals of a sale, merger, or other strategic option; vetting proposals brought forward by outsiders or insiders; reviewing alternative financing options and assuring fairness in any transaction effectuated.

"We are committed as a company to achieving shareholder value, and these steps we're taking are an indication that the status quo is no longer acceptable. We now have committed, engaged directors and an action-oriented management ready to take appropriate measures to streamline and boldly move the Company forward," stated Jim Mayer.
