WiLAN Extends Bid to November 1, 2011

OTTAWA, Canada – October 13, 2011 – Wi-LAN Inc. (“WiLAN” or the “Company”) (TSX:WIN) (NASD:WILN) today announced the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) has granted WiLAN’s request to cease trade the MOSAID Technologies Incorporated (“MOSAID”) Shareholder Rights Plan (“Poison Pill”).

The cease trade order of MOSAID’s Poison Pill is effective on November 1, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern time). MOSAID had requested in its submissions that either WiLAN’s application be dismissed or that the Poison Pill remain in place until November 11, 2011. The OSC declined to grant either of these requests from MOSAID in its order.

Accordingly, WiLAN will extend its C$38 per share all-cash bid for MOSAID shares until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on November 1, 2011.

WiLAN is extremely pleased that the OSC agreed to cease trade MOSAID’s Poison Pill and that the cease trade order will take effect in little more than two weeks. The decision now affords MOSAID shareholders the opportunity to consider and accept WiLAN’s Offer.
