Andrew Lang to Start New Company as a Vringo Subsidiary

NEW YORK - June 24, 2015 - Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNG), a company engaged in the innovation, development and monetization of intellectual property, today announced that Andrew "Ken" Lang and Vringo will form a new company as a Vringo subsidiary.

"The intention of this new venture is to develop and commercialize innovative technologies in the mobile, security, digital currency, and trusted computing and communication infrastructure spaces," said Andrew Lang, Head of Technology.

Mr. Lang continued, "I believe that the computing and communication infrastructures available today suffer from many existing security problems, and I plan to address these threats with novel technology solutions in this new venture.  Among these problems is the ease with which criminals can attack communications platforms, or simply take down a service via a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack.  I believe the cloud computing platforms available today are too vulnerable, and the friction to adopt new secure technologies is still too high for them to become popular.  Social media has unleashed powerful new ways to communicate but at the same time has increased our vulnerability.  My new initiative together with Vringo will seek to provide solutions to these security threats. I look forward to providing more specific information about these solutions as the initiative reaches key milestones."

Vringo will retain a 51% ownership in the new venture and Mr. Lang will remain at Vringo in the capacity of Head of Technology.  Mr. Lang resigns from the board of directors effective June 22, 2015 and has agreed to a significant reduction in salary, effective immediately. In addition, members of management have volunteered to defer vesting of restricted stock units to a later date in 2016.  

Andrew Perlman, Chief Executive Officer of Vringo, said, "We are excited to partner with Ken on this new venture. It is directly in line with our goal to build shareholder value through partnerships to develop technology. 

We remain highly focused on our global litigation efforts against ZTE, as well as obtaining fair and reasonable licenses to our intellectual property portfolio, which we believe our patents merit.  We also await the outcome of our writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court with respect to I/P Engine's litigation against Google, in which both i4i and the Boston Patent Law Association filed amicus briefs in support of I/P Engine last week," Mr. Perlman continued.
