Certain statements in this script that are not based on historical facts constitute forward-looking statements or forward-looking information within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian and French securities laws (“forward-looking statements”). These forward-looking statements are not promises or guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements appear in a number of different places in this script and can be identified by words such as “may,” “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “continue,” “growing,” “expanding,” or their negatives or other comparable words. They contain predictions that relate to future events, conditions or circumstances or our future results, performance, achievements or developments and, in particular, predictions related to the future market for Wavecom shares and ADSs and the liquidity of Wavecom shares and ADSs. The accuracy of these forward-looking statements depends on many risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, known or unknown which could cause substantial differences between actual results, performances, achievements, and developments and the ones that were anticipated in our forward-looking statements. These risk factors and others are discussed in greater detail in Sierra Wireless’ and Wavecom’s respective filings and reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in the United States, the Provincial Securities Commissions in Canada and the AMF. Other risks and uncertainties include, notably, the risk that the price of the Wavecom shares will drop considerably from their current levels. All forward-looking statements are covered by these cautionary statements and speak only as of the date they are made.

OUTBOUND CALLS TO RETAIL SHAREHOLDERS OF WAVECOM IN FRANCE
SCRIPT
“Hello,
I am and I am calling from the Wavecom shareholders’ information center.
I am calling with respect to Sierra Wireless France’s tender offer for Wavecom shares to ensure that you have received all necessary information to make a decision.
As you may recall, the first offering period closed on February 12, 2009, and Sierra Wireless now holds, directly or indirectly, more than 90% of Wavecom’s capital. The tender offer was clearly a success.
In accordance with applicable regulations, the offer has been reopened until March 31, 2009, which gives you one last opportunity to tender your shares.
If the shares remain listed on Euronext following the close of the subsequent offering period, there is a significant probability that the price of the shares will drop considerably from their current levels as a result of low liquidity and the deterioration of the economic environment and capital markets since the offer was first announced.
As a reminder, Sierra Wireless France is offering to pay€8.50 in cash per ordinary Wavecom share and€31.93 (plus accrued but unpaid interest) per OCEANE tendered to the offer.
If you have not received all the information necessary to make a decision you may contact your usual financial intermediary before the close of the offer.
For more information, you may also call the following toll-free number: 00800 5464 5464.
Thank you very much for your time and attention”
