Approval of Restated ESPP

As indicated in Item 5.07 below, at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) of Leap Wireless International, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 6, 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved The Leap Wireless International, Inc. Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Restated ESPP”). The Company’s Board of Directors approved the Restated ESPP on December 21, 2012, subject to stockholder approval.

The primary changes in the Restated ESPP from the prior plan were: (i) an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock relating to options under the Restated ESPP by 400,000 shares to 1,200,000 shares; and (ii) an increase in the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be acquired by any participant during any single offering period from 250 to 1,000 shares.

For a description of the Restated ESPP, please see “Proposal 3” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2013 Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2013 (the “2013 Proxy Statement”), which is incorporated herein by reference. The full text of the Restated ESPP is attached as Appendix B to the 2013 Proxy Statement.
