NETMOTION WIRELESS BACKGROUND

NetMotion Wireless, Inc.

NetMotion Wireless is a software company that enables businesses and government agencies to maximize the productivity of their mobile workforces. The company's flagship solution is Mobility XE, mobile VPN software that allows mobile workers to maintain and optimize mobile data connections as they move in and out of wireless coverage areas and roam between networks. Over 1,000 of the world's most respected organizations rely on NetMotion everyday, including major public utilities, healthcare organizations, communications providers, public safety organizations, transportation companies and many others.

Seattle-based NetMotion Wireless is a privately held company formed in 2001 as a spin off from WRQ, Inc., a leading networking software company. In 2006, NetMotion merged with Padcom, Inc., a competitor based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The merger followed a patent infringement lawsuit initiated by Padcom in 2003, and a jury verdict that found that NetMotion infringed upon Padcom patents. Post-merger, NetMotion Wireless remains the operating company, with Padcom, Inc. as the holding company and majority shareholder in NetMotion Wireless. As a result of its holdings in Padcom, Liberty Partners became the majority shareholder in the combined company.

NetMotion has a substantial portfolio of validated intellectual property, a large and rapidly growing customer base, and the backing of Liberty Partners, a private equity firm with more than $1 billion under management.
