Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 17, 2007, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) extended the deadline by which UTStarcom, Inc. (the “Company”) must file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, all required restatements and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Panel extended the deadline for the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and all required restatements until May 14, 2007 and for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 until July 16, 2007. These dates represent the full extent of the Panel’s authority under applicable Nasdaq rules. However, the Company intends to request that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearings Review Council (the “Council”) review the Panel’s decision and grant the Company additional time to comply with its filing obligations. There can be no assurance that the Council will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.

On April 18, 2007, the Company issued a press release entitled “Nasdaq Extends UTStarcom Filing Deadline,” a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
