$27,713,010
     $1,089  
 
*   Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee. The Transaction Valuation was calculated on the basis of (i) the offer price of (x) €7 for each of the 1,718,330 ADSs outstanding; (y) €7 for each of the 791,022 Shares estimated to be held by U.S. holders as of the date hereof within the meaning of Rule 14d-1(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (z) €31.30 plus unpaid accrued interest for each of the 128,594 OCEANEs estimated to be held by U.S. holders as of the date hereof; and (ii) an exchange rate (using the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in euro as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on October 22, 2008) of $1.2835 for one euro. The unpaid accrued interest to be paid per OCEANE is estimated to be €0.01 per OCEANE based on an estimated settlement date of January 5, 2009 for the Offers (as defined below). The number of Shares and OCEANEs estimated to be held by U.S. holders is based on an assumption, made solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee, that 5% of the 15,820,442 outstanding Shares and 5% of the 2,571,884 outstanding OCEANEs are each held by U.S. holders. The number of ADSs, Shares and OCEANEs outstanding is based on Wavecom S.A.’s (“Wavecom”) Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 22, 2008 and Wavecom’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Commission on April 8, 2007.

     This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule TO amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, as amended, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2008 (the “Schedule TO”) by Gemalto S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of France (“Purchaser”) and a subsidiary of Gemalto N.V., a company organized under the laws of The Netherlands, relating to the offer to purchase all outstanding Wavecom shares, nominal value €1.00 (“Shares”), all outstanding Wavecom American Depositary Shares, each representing one Share (“ADSs”), and all outstanding bonds convertible or exchangeable into new or existing Shares (obligations à option de conversion et/ou d’échange en actions nouvelles ou existantes, or “OCEANEs”), through concurrent offers in the United States (the “U.S. Offer”) and France (the “International Offer”, and together with the U.S. Offer, the “Offers”). In the U.S. Offer, Purchaser is seeking to purchase all outstanding Shares and OCEANEs held by U.S. holders, within the meaning of Rule 14d-1(d) under the Exchange Act, and all outstanding ADSs wherever the holder is located, on the terms and conditions set forth in the U.S. Offer to Purchase, dated October 28, 2008 (the “U.S. Offer to Purchase”) and the related ADS Letter of Transmittal and the Forms of Acceptance.
     Except as specifically set forth herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported on Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the U.S. Offer to Purchase.
     The U.S. Offer to Purchase, including Schedule A thereto, is hereby incorporated by reference in response to all items of this Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.
Item 11. Additional Information.
     Item 11(a) of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
     The fifth paragraph in Section 14: “Certain Legal Matters” in the U.S. Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     “German Competition Laws. Under the provisions of the German Act against Restraints on Competition (“ARC”), the acquisition of Securities pursuant to the Offers may be consummated only if the acquisition is approved by the German Federal Cartel Office (“German Cartel Office”), either by written approval or by expiration of a one-month waiting period commenced by the filing by Purchaser of a complete notification (the “German Notification”) with respect to the Offers, unless the German Cartel Office notifies Purchaser within the one-month waiting period of the initiation of an in-depth investigation. Purchaser filed the German Notification on October 28, 2008. On November 21, 2008, Purchaser received written approval of the Offers from the German Cartel Office.”
