Wave Systems Notified of SEC Investigation

Lee, MA – December 18, 2003 – Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX – www.wave.com), today reported that the Securities and Exchange Commission has commenced a formal investigation into certain matters relating to Wave. The SEC's investigative order, received by Wave on December 17, 2003, relates to certain public statements made by Wave during and around August 2003, as well as certain trading in Wave's securities during such time. The SEC has not concluded that there has been any wrongdoing, and Wave is cooperating fully with the SEC on this matter.


Barge: you claim: "Whitewash----For anyone to accuse the President and CEO of WAVE SYSTEMS, Steven Sprague, as having engaged in "self-dealing and greed" when there is NO FACTUAL BASIS to support such a position is an OUTRAGE and a DEFAMATION against his character."


Barge: I think if you re-read CM's post you will find he said the "Sprague family" and did not say Steven Sprague specifically. I also think the above chain of events by date, movement of share price, selling of shares, paying off Peters old loans and ultimately an SEC investigation provides enough FACTUAL BASIS to express the opinion in which CM did? I dont personally have a problem with the opinion he expressed in that particular post. You know I think the world of Steven personally. But I didn't take his post as being overly offensive? Got it?
