Press Release

Wavecom comments on Gemalto’s Unsolicited offer

Issy-les-Moulineaux (France), October 7, 2008 – Wavecom was informed yesterday that Gemalto filed an unsolicited offer to take control of Wavecom.

Contrary to information in the press, Wavecom emphasized that this offer was neither encouraged, endorsed nor discussed with Wavecom and therefore considers the offer hostile. In addition, the management of Wavecom believes that the price offered does not reflect the intrinsic value and prospects of the Company.

Anthony Maher, independent board member and Chairman of the M&A sub committee, commented “Accepting this unsolicited offer does not seem the best approach to preserve the interests of Wavecom, its shareholders and its employees”

Wavecom’s board of directors will meet shortly to consider the terms and conditions of the offer.

This press release contains forward-looking statements that relate to the Company’s future business performance, operating expenses and financial results and objectives. Such forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and assumptions of the Company’s management only and involve risk and uncertainties. Potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, whether the Company will be commercially successful in implementing its strategies, whether there will be continued growth in the vertical markets and demand for the Company’s products, the Company’s reliance on a single contract manufacturer in China for all production requirements, an unanticipated decrease in orders from one of the Company’s principal customers or customer cancellation or scale-down of a major project, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, dependence on third parties, new products or technological developments introduced by competitors, customer and supplier concerns regarding the Company’s overall financial position, and risks associated with managing growth. Unfavorable developments in connection with these and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause the Company to fail to achieve the anticipated or targeted performance or results.
