Vringo Plans Expansion and Escalation of Global Litigation and Licensing Programs

NEW YORK - June 20, 2014 - Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNG) today announced that it plans to expand and escalate its global litigation and licensing programs following receipt of $10 million in cash from the exercise of outstanding warrants by three institutional investors.

The investors exercised 5,697,227 warrants, which are part of a series of warrants that expire in three years, on July 19, 2017, and have an exercise price of $1.76 (the "July 2017 Warrant Series").  The exercised warrants represent 58% of the July 2017 Warrant Series.  Vringo directors and officers hold 70% of the remaining July 2017 Warrant Series.

Vringo and the investors who exercised the warrants entered into an agreement pursuant to which Vringo issued 5,412,366 new warrants that expire in one year, on June 21, 2015, and have an exercise price of $5.06, 44% above yesterday's closing price of Vringo common stock.  The new warrants do not contain cashless exercise or anti-dilution features, and Vringo is under no obligation to register the shares of common stock underlying them.

"Vringo plans to expand and escalate its global litigation and licensing programs in the near term in an effort to realize revenue from companies that are selling or attempting to sell products without paying Vringo appropriate royalties for use of its technology," said Andrew D. Perlman, Chief Executive Officer.

"Vringo has recently posted bonds to secure injunctions against ZTE and its local subsidiaries in Germany and Brazil.  With today's cash infusion, Vringo will have additional cash to further escalate and expand its mobile telecommunications licensing programs against ZTE and other companies.  Vringo will also continue its pursuit to defend and collect its judgments against Google," Mr. Perlman continued.
