FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Boingo Wireless Files Investor Presentation

Outlines Boingo’s Strong Financial and Operational Results

Details Board and Management’s Success in Executing on Boingo’s Strategic Transformation

Highlights Lack of Strategic Plan and Ever-Evolving Demands Made by the Ides Group(1) who, with its Minimal Short-Term Shareholding, Would Disrupt Boingo’s Progress and Add NO Value to the Board

Boingo Recommends Stockholders Vote “FOR” Boingo’s Highly Qualified Director Nominees on the WHITE Proxy Card

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — May 23, 2016 — Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ: WIFI) (the “Company”), the leading distributed antenna system (“DAS”) and Wi-Fi provider that serves consumers, carriers and advertisers worldwide, today announced that it has filed an investor presentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 9, 2016. Boingo stockholders of record at the close of business on April 13, 2016, are entitled to vote at the 2016 Annual Meeting.

The presentation and other materials regarding the Board of Directors’ recommendation for the 2016 Annual Meeting are available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s corporate website at www.boingo.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

“The ambitious transformation Boingo has been executing for the past three years is beginning to bear fruit, as evidenced by our strong 2015 and first quarter 2016 financial and operational results,” said Dave Hagan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless. “We remain committed to delivering high growth and high value to our stockholders as we continue to execute against our strategic initiatives and capitalize on mobile data growth and network densification trends. In stark contrast, the Ides Group, which owns less than 0.5% of Boingo and is a short-term holder with a self-serving agenda, is demanding 33% control of the Board without offering any plan, posing a significant risk to the future success of Boingo.”

The Boingo Board of Directors strongly recommends that stockholders protect the value of their investment by voting on the WHITE proxy card “FOR” Boingo’s experienced, independent and highly-qualified director nominees: Charles Boesenberg and Terrell Jones.

Highlights of the presentation include:

Boingo believes it is poised to realize the benefits of its strategic plan and leverage its market leadership position

(1)  “Ides Group” consists of a group of individuals and a related fund, Ides Capital.

·                  Boingo’s Board and management team are delivering high growth and high value to stockholders, as underscored by first quarter 2016 results, which included:

·                  6th consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth

·                  9th consecutive quarter of revenue at the high-end or above guidance

·                  3rd consecutive quarter of year-over-year gross margin improvement of at least 150 basis points

·                  Boingo has outperformed its peer group(2) and NASDAQ over the 2016 year-to-date period

·                  Looking ahead, management expects to return to positive free cash flow in the second half of 2016 and realize substantial recurring cash flows from significant investments in network assets

Boingo’s experienced Board and skilled management team are committed to the Company’s success and strong governance practices

·                  Boingo has an experienced Board of proven business leaders with an average tenure of approximately 3.5 years

·                  Boingo’s two independent director nominees bring critical experience to the Boingo Board and have strong track records of creating shareholder value at other companies where they either served on the board or held executive positions

·                  The Boingo Board is guided by best corporate governance practices, including:

·                  Active board refreshment, with all independent directors added in last five years

·                  Commitment to declassifying the Board

·                  No supermajority merger requirement

·                  No shareholder rights plan (poison pill)

·                  Adoption of majority voting standard for uncontested elections

·                  Boingo previously committed to expanding the Board in 2016 with a focus on diversity

·                  Commenced a search for new, diverse Board members in early 2016, prior to Ides’ involvement

·                  Ides Group’s nominees have been invited, yet have refused, to participate in the Board’s nomination process

Boingo has a track record of stockholder engagement and has made changes to executive compensation and incentive programs in response to stockholder feedback

·                  Say-on-Pay received 94.7% approval at the 2015 Annual Meeting

·                  As a direct result of stockholder feedback Boingo made further enhancements to its compensation and incentive programs:

·                  Half (50%) of CEO compensation is at risk, an increase from 23% in 2013

·                  Robust anti-hedging policy is in place for directors and officers

·                  Equity plans prohibit share recycling or re-pricing for options/RSUs

·                  CEO and CFO equity grants at 3-year cliff vesting with 50% performance component

(2)  Boingo defines its peer group as ENT, GOGO, TWER, EGHT, RNG, AMT, CCI, and SBAC. Boingo also outperformed its ISS peer group for the same period. The peer group indices are weighted by the market capitalization of each stock in the respective index.

·                  Put in place additional measures to decrease the frequency of public market sales by the CEO and CFO

·                  The Board is committed to ensuring total compensation and incentive programs are in line with peers and best practices and will continue to take stockholder feedback into consideration

Ides Group is composed of four short-term holders with minimal share positions acquired less than six months ago

·                  Ides Group has presented no strategic plan and refuses to allow its nominees to meet with Boingo

·                  Ides Group’s two hand-picked nominees have no relevant industry experience and minimal public board experience

·                  Throughout the duration of its interactions with Boingo, the Ides Group has demonstrated a lack of understanding of corporate governance best practices

·                  Adding the Ides Group’s director nominees to the Board could seriously disrupt the execution of the Company’s strategic plan
