On March 11, 2009 the Board of Directors of Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the following adjustments to the exercise prices and terms of certain of its outstanding options and warrants as follows:
 
(i)       
the exercise prices of certain outstanding compensatory options and warrants issued to officers, directors, consultants and others, to purchase an aggregate of 5,029,945 shares of common stock were adjusted to an exercise price of $0.68 per share (closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 11, 2009);

(ii)      
the exercise price of outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 473,750 shares of common stock, issued as part of the Company’s private placement completed in December 2004/January 2005, which exercise price is scheduled to increase to $2.00 per share on March 31, 2009 (from $1.75 per share)  adjusted to an exercise price of $1.75 for the remaining exercise period of such warrants (May 21, 2010), subject to the adjustment set forth in item (iv) below;

(iii)     
the exercise price of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,666,667 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, which warrants were issued as part of the Company’s private placement completed in April 2007, were adjusted to an exercise price of $1.75 per share for the remaining exercise period of such warrants (April 16, 2012), subject to the adjustments set forth in item (iv) below; and

(iv)    
in the event that any holders of the above referenced outstanding warrants, issued as part of the December 2004/January 2005 or the April 2007 private placements, exercise such warrants at anytime up to and including December 31, 2009, the exercise price of all such warrants shall adjust to $1.25 per share.


As a result of the aforementioned exercise price adjustments, the average exercise price of all of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants (12,160,882 shares) decreased from $1.21 per share of common stock to $.90 per share of common stock.  In the event of exercise of all outstanding options and warrants, proceeds from such exercise would decrease from $14.8 million to $11 million.
