1 PRESENTATION OF THE OFFER

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFER

Pursuant to Title III of Book II and specifically article 232-1 et seq. of the General Regulations of the AMF, Gemalto S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of France with a share capital of 103,837,182 euros, having its registered office at 6, rue de la Verrerie in Meudon (92190), registered with the Nanterre Registry of Commerce and Companies under number 562 113 530 (the “Offeror”), controlled, as defined by article L.233-3 of the French Commercial Code by Gemalto N.V., a société anonyme (naamloze vennootsschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands, having its registered office at Koningsgracht Gebouw 1, Joop Geesinkweg 541-542, 1096 AX Amsterdam, The Netherlands (“Gemalto N.V.”), which holds 99.99% of the share capital and voting rights of the Offeror, filed a draft tender offer on October 6, 2008 with the AMF, in which it is offering to the holders of shares and OCEANEs (as such term is defined below), issued by Wavecom S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of France with a share capital of 15,811,381 euros, having its registered office at 3, esplanade du Foncet in Issy-les-Moulineaux (92442) and registered with the Nanterre Registry of Commerce and Companies under number 391 838 042 (“Wavecom” or the “Company”), to acquire, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below (the “Offer”):

(i) any and all of the shares (the “Shares”) of the Company that are traded on Eurolist of Euronext Paris S.A. (“Euronext Paris”) (Compartment B) under ISIN code FR0000073066, issued or to be issued, for the duration of the Offer and duration of reopening of the Offer, as the case may be, as a result of the conversion of the OCEANEs (as such term is defined below), or the exercise of the warrants (the “Warrants”), the founders’ warrants (the “Founders’ Warrants”) or the stock options of Wavecom; and

(ii) any and all outstanding bonds convertible and/or exchangeable for newly issued or existing shares by option (the “OCEANEs”) issued by the Company and traded on Eurolist of Euronext Paris under ISIN code FR0010497131, the Shares and the OCEANEs being referred to collectively as the “Securities.”

The Offeror has indicated that the Warrants and the Founders’ Warrants issued by Wavecom were not subject to the Offer. Regarding the free Shares attributed by Wavecom to some employees and certain corporate officers (mandataires sociaux) of the Company and of certain of its subsidiaries, Gemalto indicated that these Shares are:

(i) either definitively acquired by their beneficiaries but remain subject to a two-year holding period as from their final granting date,

(ii) or still subject to a vesting period and therefore are not definitively acquired by their beneficiaries.

As a consequence these free Shares are not subject to the Offer.

Gemalto indicated that, other than the Shares, OCEANEs, Warrants, Founders’ Warrants, stock options and free Shares referred to above and the attributed share purchase options, as the case may be, there are no other securities or other financial instruments or rights giving access immediately or eventually to the share capital or voting rights of the Company.

HSBC France (“HSBC”), as the presenting bank for the Offer, guarantees, in accordance with the provisions of article 231-13 of the General Regulations of the AMF, the contents and the irrevocable nature of the undertakings given by the Offeror in connection with the Offer.

The Offer will be conducted according to the normal procedure pursuant to the provisions of articles 232-1 et seq. of the General Regulations of the AMF.

The Offeror has indicated its intent to initiate a separate offer in the United States, on terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the Offer, to all holders of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) as well as to all holders of Securities residing in the United States (the “U.S. Offer”, together with the Offer, the “Offers”). Therefore, on October 28, 2008, Gemalto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission an offering document under the form of a Schedule TO-T describing the U.S. Offer, including as Exhibit 99A.A.I, the U.S. offer to purchase.

Moreover, the Offeror indicated its intent to request that the AMF, within three months following the expiration of the Offer, implement a squeeze-out of the Shares if the Shares not tendered in the Offer and in the U.S. Offer do not represent more than 5% of the share capital or voting rights of the Company, pursuant to the provisions of articles L.433-4 III of the Monetary and Financial Code and articles 237-14 et seq. of the General Regulations of the AMF.

Finally, the Offeror intends to request that the AMF, within three months following the expiration of the Offer, implement a squeeze-out of the OCEANEs not tendered in the Offer and in the U.S. Offer, if the shares not tendered in the Offer and in the U.S. Offer, and the shares that can be issued as a result of the conversion of the OCEANEs not tendered in the Offer and in the U.S. Offer, do not represent more than 5% of the securities of the Company, whether existing or likely to be created.

The Offer was cleared by the AMF during its meeting of October 24, 2008 and the AMF’s decision was published under number 208C1942. Gemalto’s offer memorandum (“Gemalto’s Offer Memorandum”) received the AMF visa No. 08-225 on October 24, 2008 and was also published on that date.

Pursuant to an AMF decision on October 27, 2008, published under number 208C1944, the Offer was opened on October 28, 2008 and its closing date will be determined when Wavecom’s reply document will be distributed.

1.2 CONTEXT OF THE OFFER

Mr. Arno Goboyan, Director Global Banking and Markets of HSBC, contacted by phone Mr. Ronald Black, Wavecom’s Chief Executive Officer, in order to present to him the merits of a potential strategic combination between Wavecom and Gemalto. On April 21, 2008, Mr. Ronald Black met with Mr. Arno Goboyan to pursue such discussions.

Mr. Arno Goboyan and Mr. Claude Rieffel headed the HSBC working group which advised, as lead manager and bookrunner, Wavecom in the issuance of its OCEANEs in July 2007, pursuant to an engagement letter dated July 3, 2007. Considering the relationship of trust that was established then between HSBC and Wavecom, Mr. Goboyan continued to have regular contacts with Wavecom, questioning the Company in particular at the beginning of 2008, on its outlook with respect to several key financial indicators as well as on the results of a proposed shareholder search (“TPI”) in the context of discussions with a potential partner. Wavecom had then come to the conclusion that HSBC was still providing Wavecom with its assistance, although no engagement letter had been signed between Wavecom and HSBC.

- 3 -

On June 28, 2008, a meeting was organized at the initiative of HSBC, between, on one side, Mr. Ronald Black, Mrs. Chantal Bourgeat, Chief Financial Officer of Wavecom, Mr. Philippe Guillemette, Chief Technical Officer of Wavecom, and Mr. Emmanuel Walckenaer, Chief Executive Officer of Anyware Technologies, a subsidiary of Wavecom, and on the other side, Mr. Martin McCourt, EVP, Strategy and Ventures, Mergers and Acquisitions of Gemalto N.V., Mr. Franck Duraz, Controller Strategy M&A and Ventures of Gemalto N.V., Mr. Jean-François Schreiber and Mr. Morgan Daumas, Corporate Strategy of Gemalto N.V., in order to present Wavecom’s business and market, Anyware Technologies’ key public financial metrics and business and the consequences of a potential strategic combination between Gemalto and Wavecom.

No confidential exchanges took place at this meeting, the representatives of Wavecom having specified that they would not grant access to confidential information on Wavecom and its activities before receiving an indicative offer and before the approval of such offer by Wavecom’s Board of Directors.

However, prior to the meeting, on June 28, 2008, Wavecom and Gemalto had signed a confidentiality agreement.

Pursuant to this agreement, Gemalto had agreed¹:

(i) during a period of three years, to abstain from divulging the existence of discussions between the two parties, except in the context of a transaction approved by Wavecom:

“Neither Party nor its Representatives will disclose to any person the fact that discussions or negotiations are taking place (or have taken place) between the Parties regarding a possible Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating thereto”. “For the avoidance doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit any public disclosures as required by law or regulations to effect a Transaction approved by Wavecom, such as disclosure made in any prospectus or public documents”; and

(ii) during a period of 18 months, i.e. until the end of 2009, to abstain from acquiring any Wavecom securities without Wavecom’s authorization, except in the event of a higher take-over bid, in particular due to the laws and regulations applicable to privileged information:

“Company [Gemalto N.V.] understands and agrees that since Wavecom is a listed company (both on the Nasdaq and Paris Eurolist stock exchange) and Company may have access to material non public information (information that a reasonable person would consider important in deciding whether to buy, hold or sell Wavecom securities, and information whose public disclosure would likely affect the market price of Wavecom securities), Company must comply with French and U.S. securities laws, that provide that certain use of insider information, communication of insider information and/or manipulation of the market price will constitute a criminal offence.

¹ Emphasis addded by Wavecom in the present document.

- 4 -

Therefore, Company shall abstain from buying, selling or trading any Wavecom equity or debt securities until the end of an 18-month period commencing on the Effective Date, except with the prior consent of Wavecom or as part of the consummation of a bona fide tender offer made pursuant to applicable laws and regulations following a tender offer (offre publique) on the shares of Wavecom initiated by a third party.”

As a result of its interpretation of the terms of the confidentiality agreement, Wavecom was convinced that any strategic combination of Wavecom and Gemalto would remain subject to the agreement of both parties.

During the period from June 29, 2008 to July 16, 2008, discussions continued between representatives of Gemalto and Wavecom.

On July 17, 2008, Mr. Olivier Piou, Gemalto N.V.’s Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Ronald Black met at Mr. Olivier Piou’s request in order to get to know each other and discuss the possibility of a strategic combination between Gemalto and Wavecom.

During the third quarter of 2008, at Gemalto’s request, several contacts took place between Mr. Arno Goboyan, Mr. Ronald Black, Mr. Anthony Maher, independent Director of Wavecom and Mr. Aram Hékimian, co-founder and Director of Wavecom, in order to discuss the possibility of a potential strategic combination between Gemalto and Wavecom, and to organize meetings with Gemalto’s management.

Therefore, on September 11, 2008, Mr. Olivier Piou and Mr. Philippe Vallée, the Executive Vice President Telecom of Gemalto, met with Mr. Aram Hékimian, founder and Director of Wavecom, in order to get to know each other. At the beginning of this meeting, Mr. Aram Hékimian signed a confidentiality undertaking containing the same terms and conditions as the confidentiality agreement signed by Gemalto N.V. and Wavecom on June 28, 2008.

On September 17, 2008, Mr. Olivier Piou and Mr. Christophe Pagezy, Executive Vice President Corporate Projects of Gemalto and Mr. Arno Goboyan met with Mr. Ronald Black, Mr. Anthony Maher, independent Director, Mr. Aram Hékimian, Director and significant shareholder of Wavecom, and Mr. Michel Alard, Director and co-founder of Wavecom, at a dinner during which the parties discussed the strategic rationale and terms for a strategic combination between Gemalto and Wavecom.

Following this dinner, it became obvious to Wavecom’s representatives that the two parties had very different opinions on the terms of such a combination between Wavecom and Gemalto, in particular with respect to price.

To the knowledge of the Company, no privileged information was communicated to Gemalto during the course of the exchanges that occurred between the management of the two companies.

On October 6, 2008, Wavecom was surprised and confused to learn the filing of an unsolicited tender offer initiated by Gemalto on the Shares and OCEANEs of Wavecom, and presented by HSBC.

On October 9, 2008, the Board of Directors of Wavecom met and after due and careful consideration of Gemalto’s Offer to purchase Wavecom’s shares and OCEANEs, reached the conclusion that Gemalto’s unsolicited Offer was against the interests of Wavecom, its shareholders and employees.

- 5 -

At a meeting on October 29, 2008, the Board of Directors of Wavecom requested that the M&A sub-committee, chaired by Mr. Anthony Maher and its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ronald Black, study different opportunities which would offer a greater industrial and financial commonality with respect to the interests of Wavecom, its shareholders and employees and undertook to review all potential strategic alternatives which they could present to the Board of Directors.

1.3. EXISTENCE OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN WAVECOM AND GEMALTO

Members of the Company’s Executive Committee and other Directors had in the past and may continue to have in the future, regular contacts with Gemalto’s employees notably in the marketing, business development and sales departments, including, but not only, in the context of the development of the Company’s inSim® product. Except as described above, the Company has not entered into any other agreements with Gemalto.

2 REASONED OPINION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

2.1 REASONED OPINION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DATED OCTOBER 29, 2008

2.1.1 Reasoned opinion of the Board of Directors dated October 29, 2008

On October 6, 2008, Gemalto filed with the Autorité des marchés financiers a draft all-cash tender offer for Wavecom Shares and OCEANEs, which received the AMF clearance decision on October 24, 2008 (Decision and Information No. 208C1942).

During its meeting on October 29, 2008, the Wavecom Board of Directors decided unanimously that Gemalto’s all-cash tender offer was not in the interest of Wavecom, its shareholders and employees. As a result, Wavecom’s Board of Directors decided unanimously to recommend to Wavecom’s shareholders and other security holders not to tender their Wavecom securities in this offer.

During such meeting, the Board of Directors adopted the following opinion, as finalized by the Board of Directors at its meeting on November 5, 2008:

“The Wavecom Board of Directors met on October 29, 2008, with Mr. Michel Alard as Chairman. All of the directors were present or represented.

The Board of Directors considered the terms of the tender offer bid (hereinafter the “Offer”) whereby Gemalto offered to purchase the shares² (the “Shares”) of Wavecom issued or to be issued during the Offer and the potential reopening of the Offer for a price per share of 7 euros and the OCEANEs of Wavecom for a price per OCEANE initially set at 20 euros, including accrued unpaid interest (and later increased to 31.30 euros, plus unpaid accrued interest, on October 17, 2008) as such terms were set forth in the draft offering memorandum (“note d’information”) published by Gemalto on October 6, 2008.

² As of June 30, 2008, the total number of Wavecom shares which would be issued upon due to the conversion of the OCEANEs issued by Wavecom in 2007, the shares which would be issued upon exercise of Wavecom Warrants, Founders’ Warrants or stock options.

- 6 -

Gemalto announced its intention to initiate a separate offer in the United States (the “U.S. Offer” and, together with the Offer, the “Offers”) to the holders of Wavecom’s American Depositary Shares and Wavecom’s OCEANEs residing in the United States, subject to conditions that it stated were “substantially similar” to those of the Offer.

The Board of Directors also considered the AMF’s clearance decision (“decision de conformité”) relating to Gemalto’s tender offer dated October 24, 2008, published under reference No. 208C1942. The Board of Directors considered Gemalto’s offer memorandum which received the AMF visa No. 08-225 on October 24, 2008 and which was published on that date. Finally, the Board of Directors was informed of the fact that pursuant to a decision of the AMF, dated October 27, 2008, published under No. 208C1944, the Offer was opened on October 28, 2008 and its closing date will be determined upon distribution of Wavecom’s reply document.

The Board of Directors noted that the Offers are subject to the condition of the contribution to the Offers of a minimal number of Shares representing, at the date of closing of the last of the two Offers, at least 50.01% of the share capital of Wavecom existing at that date.

On the basis of the above, the Board of Directors, having deliberated, in accordance with article 231-19 of the General Regulations of the AMF, made the following recommendation regarding the terms of the Offers and their consequences to Wavecom, its shareholders and employees. The Board of Directors underlines that the Offers were not solicited and that the Board considers them to be hostile, particularly in light of the confidentiality agreement which Wavecom and Gemalto signed on June 28, 2008 during discussions between them starting in April 2008 regarding a potential strategic combination, and whereby Gemalto undertook to refrain from any action on Wavecom’s securities for a period of 18 months.

Thus, the Board of Directors unanimously considered that:

- The highly opportunistic timing of Gemalto’s Offer is very unfavorable to all stakeholders of Wavecom

¡ The Offer occurs at times of unprecedented financial market turmoil on the back of the financial crisis.

¡ Small companies such as Wavecom have suffered more than larger ones.

¡ It seems that the opportunistic timetable was more critical than the strategic, industrial policy and integration issues that are barely detailed in Gemalto’s offering memorandum, which makes it difficult for the Company, its employees and more broadly its stakeholders to fully understand those, albeit critical, items.

- The Offer price does not take into account the strength of Wavecom’s core business

¡ M2M (Machine to Machine) is emerging as the growth engine for the mobile telecommunications industry.

¡ Wavecom is among the leaders in the M2M market and is particularly recognized for its innovative technologies, products and prime clients relationships (telecom operators and enterprise customers).

- 7 -

¡ Wavecom is strategically positioned and holds all assets required to fully benefit from the expected M2M market growth.

¡ The potential acquisition of Wavecom would provide Gemalto with a key positioning in the sector value chain, which strategic value is not reflected in the current Offer terms.

- The Offer price does not reflect the strategic benefit to Gemalto of acquiring Wavecom’s promising technology initiatives - its unique embedded inSIM® technology and its Anyware Technologies services offerings

¡ The SIM card industry is experiencing a rapid commoditization trend on the back of fierce competition from both cheap Chinese SIM card producers as well as global semiconductor players and current SIM cards are becoming less and less adapted to applications and clients require.³

¡ Amongst others, Wavecom is developing two key strategic initiatives meeting M2M customers expectations and presenting significant growth and profits potential: inSIM® and Anyware Technologies’ solutions.

¡ Anyware Technologies’ solutions allow for remote management and diagnostics of all machines equipped with wireless communication and make M2M application development easy.

¡ The embedded SIM technology, inSIM®, increases the ability to meet industrial application conditions (reliability, logistics, security).

¡ The current terms of the Gemalto Offer fail to properly value those promising strategic initiatives.

- The hostile nature of the Offer could jeopardize the efficiency of Wavecom’s technical team and endanger the future of Wavecom’s innovation plan

¡ Hostile transactions carry a high degree of risk in knowledge-based industries such as technology.

¡ Wavecom’s value indeed lies in its employees and in particular, its management and highly recognised R&D employees.

¡ Wavecom employees are more likely to support a friendly transaction in which integration problems, the strategic and technological visions and the objectives were discussed and shared.

- The Gemalto Offer significantly undervalues Wavecom based on several widely accepted valuation methodologies

¡ The Offer Price represents a discount to Wavecom’s value based on valuation criteria that are widely used in this type of transactions.

¡ The Offer Price represents a significant discount to Wavecom’s value using trading comparables, while such multiples do not include the required control premium.

¡ For all valuation methodologies used, the Offer is at a discount to the implied price resulting from the application of such criteria.

- After taking into account Wavecom’s cash and marketable securities, Gemalto’s effective purchase price would be 3.7 euros per share. After taking into account, in addition, all of Wavecom’s tax assets and tax loss carryforwards, Gemalto’s effective purchase price would be further reduced by a maximum amount of 2.0 euros per share (assuming the theoretical ability to use all such assets in 2008), reducing the effective purchase price to a minimum of 1.8 euros per share.

¡ The total amount of cash outflow from the acquisition of the shares and OCEANEs is estimated at 196.5 million euros.

¡ Wavecom’s cash and marketable securities as at September 30, 2008 (after payment of the 2008 OCEANEs coupon and including the cash proceeds from the exercise of exercisable in-the-money dilutive instruments and following the theoretical tender of the treasury shares to the Offer) is estimated at approximately 134.6 million euros.

¡ The effective purchase price for Gemalto is therefore 3.7 euros per share.

¡ The maximum impact of Wavecom’s tax assets and tax loss carryforwards (assuming the theoretical ability to use all such assets and carryforwards in 2008) is furthermore estimated to amount to approximately 32.5 million euros.

¡ Including all of these tax assets and tax loss carryforwards would further reduce Gemalto’s effective offer price by 2.0 euros per share, reducing the effective purchase price to a minimum of 1.8 euros per share.

As a result, the Board of Directors unanimously considered that the terms of the Gemalto Offers are manifestly insufficient. The Board of Directors determined that these Offers are not in the best interests of Wavecom, its shareholders and employees and therefore recommends to Wavecom’s securities holders not to tender their securities in the Offers.

The Board of Directors requested that the M&A sub-committee, presided over by Anthony Maher, independent director, and its Chief Executive Officer, Ronald Black, study different opportunities which represent a greater industrial and financial compatibility with the interests of Wavecom, its shareholders and employees and undertook to review all alternatives (including strategic transactions and corporate defenses typically explored in the case of unsolicited offers) which they would present to the Board of Directors. Moreover, Merrill Lynch has been retained in the context of these unsolicited Offers to assist Wavecom in reviewing all such alternatives.

The Board of Directors decided that the Wavecom treasury shares will not be tendered to the Offer and invested Ronald D. Black, Chief Executive Officer, with the powers to finalize and sign the reply document.

The directors indicated unanimously their intention at this stage not to tender their own securities to the Offers.”

2.1.2 Press release issued by the Board of Directors on October 9, 2008

“After due and careful consideration of Gemalto’s unsolicited offer to take control of Wavecom, the board of directors of Wavecom has reached the conclusion that Gemalto’s hostile offer is not in the best interests of Wavecom, its shareholders and employees.

- 9 -

Anthony Maher, independent director and Chairman of Wavecom’s M&A sub-committee summarized the position of the board, saying “While Wavecom is always interested in any transaction that benefits shareholders and other stakeholders, we have concluded that the proposed acquisition by Gemalto fails to deliver sufficient value to merit support.”

The board will issue a more detailed opinion on Gemalto’s offer together with its formal response, in accordance with AMF (French Stock Market Authorities) regulations and within the designated timeframe.

The board concluded by reiterating its full confidence in the management of Wavecom and supported its ongoing efforts, together with the employees of Wavecom, to maximize value-creation for all stakeholders of the Company.”

2.2 DETAILED ELEMENTS OF THE APPRECIATION OF GEMALTO’S OFFER BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors believes that:

• The timing of Gemalto’s Offer is highly opportunistic and disadvantages the Company’s stakeholders;

• The Offer price does not take into account the strength of the Company’s core business;

• The Offer price does not reflect the strategic benefit to Gemalto of acquiring the Company’s promising technology initiatives - its unique embedded inSIM® technology and its Anyware Technologies services offerings;

• The hostile nature of the Offer could jeopardize the efficiency of the Company’s technical team and endanger the future of the Company’s innovations;

• The Gemalto Offer significantly undervalues the Company based on several widely accepted valuation methodologies;

• After taking into account the Company’s cash and marketable securities, Gemalto’s effective purchase price would be 3.7 euros per share. After taking into account, in addition, all of the Company’s tax assets and tax loss carryforwards, Gemalto’s effective purchase price would be further reduced by a maximum amount of 2.0 euros per share (assuming the theoretical ability to use all such assets and carryforwards in 2008), reducing the effective purchase price to a minimum of 1.8 euros per share.

2.2.1. The timing of Gemalto’s Offer is highly opportunistic and disadvantages the Company’s stakeholders

2.2.1.1. The Company’s current share price is severely impacted by the global financial markets turmoil

As a result of the turmoil in the financial markets, most global stocks have dropped significantly over the last few months. This decline accelerated in the month before Gemalto launched its Offer, and has continued to do so, fuelled by funding concerns and macro news as credit markets ground to a standstill.

- 10 -

Smaller companies such as the Company have suffered disproportionately on the downside in terms of share price performance, as investors prefer larger and more visible stocks in such an environment. As an illustration of this “flight to size”, the CAC Small 90 index, of which the Company is a constituent, has decreased by 44% over the 12 months preceding the Offer, while the CAC Mid and Small 190 decreased by 32% and the CAC 40 by 30%.

As at October 3, 2008
	CAC 40	CAC Mid and Small 190	CAC Small 90	Wavecom
Last 2 Years	(22.4%)	(20.3%)	(32.2%)	(62.5%)
Last 12 Months	(29.7%)	(32.4%)	(44.1%)	(76.4%)
Last 6 Months	(16.7%)	(18.9%)	(24.2%)	(47.2%)
Last 3 Months	(4.3%)	(8.9%)	(12.8%)	(24.7%)
Last Month	(5.2%)	(13.5%)	(14.2%)	(14.1%)

Source: Factset

It is clear that Gemalto’s hostile Offer comes at the worst possible time for the Company’s share price and that its opportunistic timing severely disadvantages the Company’s shareholders.

2.2.1.2. The vagueness of Gemalto’s strategic plans for the Company demonstrates the ill-considered and opportunistic nature of the Offer

The Company believes that the description of the “Strategy and industrial policy” is vague and incomplete. In addition, Gemalto provided only limited details regarding its expected synergies from the combination.

It is telling that no detailed discussions between the two management teams have occurred on integration issues, potential synergies from a combination of the two companies, or strategic evolution due to the combination.

In addition, Gemalto’s Offer document omits any discussion of its industrial plans and strategies regarding the automotive segment, despite the very significant portion of the Company’s business that it represents (approximately 40% of sales). The automotive business is very unique, requiring specific certifications, reliability commitments, technology, customer service, software, and manufacturing. None of these issues were addressed in Gemalto’s Offer document.

This is evidence that Gemalto rushed its Offer in order to take advantage of market conditions and that, as a result, its strategic analysis, as well as the assessment of the Company’s value and its Offer price, has suffered.

2.2.2. The Offer price does not take into account the strength of the Company’s core business

The global mobile telecommunications market is currently at a crossroads, with personal (hand-set) mobile telecommunications growth slowing (or even decreasing) and machine to machine (M2M) mobile telecommunications emerging as the growth engine for the industry:

- 11 -

• The hand-set industry is at a turning point and “analysts are now estimating mobile sales could fall by up to 27% in 2009”⁴.

• Current market penetration in M2M is extremely low (currently less than 1% out of approximately 10 billion machines connected⁵) and an increase in penetration is therefore expected to fuel future growth (27% CAGR in volumes over the 2006-2013 period⁶)

The Company has built significant R&D expertise and strong technical know-how over the last fifteen years, as demonstrated by its extensive product and patent portfolio. It is now among the technological leaders in the growing M2M sector, and its products are well recognized for their innovative advanced features, reliability, and ability to be customized with software. The Company has a track record of innovations: the Company provided the first automotive dedicated wireless module in 1999, the first M2M operating system software in 2002, the first connectorless module for industrial applications in 2002, the first real-time operating system for wireless modules in 2005 and the first wireless micro-processor for industrial applications in 2006. More recently, in March 2008, PSA, a leading European automotive company, gave a significant award for innovation for inSIM®, which improves reliability and robustness of cellular technology in automotive applications by integrating the SIM functionality directly into the cellular module.

Thanks to its strong position in the M2M market overall and its technological leadership, its core business offers promising opportunities that have the potential to generate significant revenues in the near future.

For instance, the Company has a strong pipeline in the automotive industry, and has won significant contracts with key auto suppliers in Europe and in Japan. In addition, the Company has recently launched several new innovative products, building a strong basis for future business. Examples include the Q52 Omni, the first device to offer cellular, satellite and GPS track and trace solution, the world’s first ATEX approved (suitable for usage in explosive atmosphere environments) GSM/GPRS wireless processor, new 3G GSM and CDMA solutions for wireless alarm, automotive and tracking applications, and a new software suite named OpenAT® 2.0 with security plug-in features. These products have all been well received by the Company’s customers.

Overall, the Company currently has a strong and promising projects pipeline, including 289 current main projects⁷, 291 projects in design in⁸/wins⁹ and 280 identified new business opportunities¹⁰.

The Company holds a strong market share in the M2M business, has developed solid relationships with both mobile network operators and end markets. Moreover its innovative products are highly recognized in the M2M industry. The Company has therefore all the key elements in place and is well positioned to benefit from the growing M2M market.

Through the proposed acquisition Gemalto could benefit from new positioning in the value chain with unrivalled access to end market customers in M2M. Access to these customers would be very challenging for Gemalto to develop on its own given its historical focus on mobile network operators. Gemalto’s Offer price, does not attribute sufficient value to the strength of the Company’s core business.

2.2.3. The Offer price does not reflect the strategic benefit to Gemalto of acquiring the Company’s promising technology initiatives - its unique embedded inSIM® technology and its Anyware Technologies services offerings

Historically, Gemalto has derived a significant portion of its revenue from the sale of SIM cards. The SIM card industry is experiencing a rapid commoditization trend on the back of fierce competition from both cheap Chinese SIM card producers and global semiconductor players who control future technologies such as NFC (Near Field Communications) and payment¹¹. In fact, the volume growth rate of the SIM industry has been declining from over 30% per year to less than 17% per year, and Gemalto’s share has declined substantially from approximately 56% prior to the merger of Gemplus and Axalto, to 36% today¹². As a result, Gemalto, which seems more heavily exposed to the SIM business than some of its competitors, would benefit from a solution to shore up its position in the SIM industry and provide a new sales channel to replace traditional SIM revenue if it continues to decline.

The M2M market is of great strategic interest to Gemalto. Gemalto faces a key obstacle to participation in the M2M market, however, because SIM cards, the products Gemalto and others make, are one of the least reliable components in M2M applications¹³. Unlike consumer applications, such as mobile phones, where SIM cards perform well, M2M applications like automotive and metering have much more aggressive environments where temperature, humidity, and vibration can cause SIM cards to fail.

The Company’s inSIM® technology provides a solution to the SIM card failures that can occur in M2M applications. The Company has been instrumental in leading the industry to define, develop, and deploy embedded SIM technology, branded inSIM®, where the SIM processor chip is soldered directly into a Wavecom (or other company) cellular module or other subsystem in the M2M application. With an embedded SIM processor, the SIM function is more robust than a conventional SIM card. inSIM® technology also has other advantages over more standard SIM technology, such as simplified logistics flows and improved security (as the SIM is directly placed into the module).

As demonstrated by the recent announcement by the Company, Oberthur Card Systems, and the Brazilian operator Vivo regarding collaboration on inSIM®, the Company is now engaged with Gemalto’s competitors in a number of business opportunities. In fact, Brazil’s new law requiring cellular modules to be placed in all cars, buses, trucks, motor bikes, and containers makes Brazil one of the most important M2M regional markets in the world.

Anyware Technologies, a subsidiary of the Company, develops and sells advanced end-to-end software solutions that optimize enterprise processes involving wireless communication. Anyware solutions allow customers to develop wireless products that connect equipment seamlessly to their IT infrastructures. In other words, Anyware Technologies makes M2M application development easy. In addition, Anyware solutions can be sold on a subscription basis and therefore generate recurring sales. Given that the marginal cost of adding subscribers is extremely low, such solutions have the potential to generate high profitability and recurring cash flow. These solutions are complementary to Gemalto’s current service platform, but tailored for the M2M market.

Through sales of inSIM® and Anyware Technologies products, the Company is building preferential partnerships directly with mobile telecommunication operators (the traditional end customers in Gemalto’s core business), as well as with corporate end users. The Company believes that because mobile operators can now purchase semiconductors and assemblies, including SIM cards, directly from the Company, they no longer need to purchase directly from SIM card manufacturers such as Gemalto. This market dynamic has the potential, according to the Company, to effectively disintermediate classic SIM card producers by straining their relationships with traditional customers and weakening their positions in the value chain.

Acquiring the Company and its inSIM® and Anyware Technologies would enable Gemalto to:

• Address the problem of SIM card failure in M2M applications;

• Solidify its relationships with its traditional mobile operator customers by selling integrated SIM modules directly to them; and

• Gain immediate access to the Company’s installed base of end user enterprise customers, with whom Gemalto has had limited experience.

The Company believes that these strategic benefits are of unique value to Gemalto, and that Gemalto has failed to reflect this value in its Offer price.

2.2.4. The hostile nature of the Offer could jeopardize the efficiency of the Company’s technical team and endanger the future of the Company’s innovations

Contrary to public statements by Gemalto, its Offer is unsolicited and hostile. Hostile transactions carry a high degree of risk in knowledge-based industries such as technology. The success of a strategic combination between two groups in a knowledge-based industry is primarily based on the ability to bring together technical teams to complete innovative projects and bring them to market in an efficient and coordinated way. The value of the Company resides in its employees and in particular, its management and highly recognised R&D employees. Such employees are more likely to support a friendly transaction than a hostile Offer, as engineers and managers may fear that a hostile transaction could lead to potential integration problems and a disconnection of technological visions and objectives.

2.2.5. The Gemalto Offer significantly undervalues the Company based on several widely accepted valuation methodologies

2.2.5.1 Methodology and key assumptions

Prospective financial information for the Company for the 2008-2010 period is based on a consensus (average) of forecasts from the following selected equity research analysts: Exane, Natixis Securities, and Fortis Bank. Only brokers that issued a research note after the Company published its third quarter 2008 results have been selected, i.e. taking into account the Company’s most recent results and the difficult business environment. For that reason, research notes by CA Cheuvreux, Jefferies and Gilbert Dupont have not been included in the analysis, given that they have not updated their projections since the third quarter 2008 results announcement.

Because the Company does not provide financial guidance, all prospective financial information used below is based on figures from securities analysts. The reports of securities analysts are the only source of the Company financial data available to Gemalto. While the Company does not endorse any analyst projections, including those discussed below, it is providing this analysis to demonstrate that Gemalto has mispriced its Offer based on the information available to it.

The number of shares used in the following section stands at 15,477,978 on a diluted basis (i.e. the total number of shares outstanding at September 30, 2008 of 15,820,442, including 152,673 free shares which vested in May 2008, minus the treasury shares as at September 30, 2008, plus the total number of shares resulting from the exercise of exercisable stock options, warrants, and founders’ warrants as at September 30, 2008, that are in the money under the terms of the current Gemalto Offer and 154,900 non vested free shares as at September 30, 2008). Treasury shares are excluded from the total number of shares and are assumed to be cancelled (most common treatment of treasury shares for valuation purposes), and the value of such shares is therefore not added in the equity to enterprise value adjustments.

The total adjustments between the Company’s equity and enterprise value as of September 30, 2008 amounted to (46.3) million euros. These included short term and long term debt, cash, marketable securities and cash equivalent items. The OCEANE bonds (excluding accrued interests) have been accounted for at par value (80.5 million euros), in line with the revised Gemalto Offer communicated on October 16, 2008. This also includes cash proceeds resulting from the exercise of exercisable stock options, warrants and founder’s warrants as at September 30, 2008 that are in the money under the terms of the current Gemalto Offer.

2.2.5.2 Gemalto’s Offer is at a discount to the Company’s 12-month average share price

Given the financial market crisis and the fact that smaller capitalization stocks have suffered more than others, the use of long-term share price averages is more relevant as they neutralise such exogenous factors. As an example, the week ending on October 3, 2008, i.e. the reference date of the Gemalto Offer saw the rescue plan of Fortis and the rejection and then approval of the TARP Plan by the US House of Representatives, sending volatility to historical highs.

- 15 -

As at October 3, 2008, the Gemalto Offer price represents a premium compared to the one-month, three-month and six-month volume weighted average share prices (respectively +59.5%, +50.2%, +26.7%). However it represents a 22% discount compared to the 12-month volume weighted average share price and only a 1.8% premium compared to the nine-month volume weighted average share price.

Since September 15, 2008, the date of Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy, financial markets have seen unprecedented volatility. As a secondary analysis, the Company’s stock price on September 12, 2008, prior to Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy, shows that the Gemalto Offer represents an even greater implied discount on the basis of the nine-month and 12-month volume weighted average share price of Wavecom (respectively -3.1% and -27.6%) and lower premia on the basis of the one-month, three-month and six-month volume weighted average share price of Wavecom (respectively +47.9%, +42.1% and +19.4%).

2.2.5.3 Gemalto’s Offer is at a discount to the Company’s valuation based on a trading comparables analysis

Given that no public company is perfectly comparable to the Company, a more diversified set of comparables has been included in the analysis, either because the companies operate under similar business models or because the companies depend on similar market dynamics. A comprehensive set of comparable companies has been identified including Avocent, Digi International, Novatel Wireless, Option, RF Micro Devices, Sierra Wireless, Skyworks Solutions and Telit Communications, which all present some comparability in terms of size, business model, technology or end market. Given the Company’s estimated profitability levels, commonly used EBITDA and EBIT multiples cannot be used as a basis for analysis. Therefore, a less complete analysis based only on EV/Sales multiples (i.e. Enterprise Value to Sales multiples) was performed.

- 16 -

On the basis of market share in the M2M market, the only company that is comparable to the Company is Telit¹⁴. However, the Company believes that the differences between Telit and itself in terms of size, market share and profitability require that a broader universe of companies be included in the analysis. The Company therefore identified companies with similar business models and technology, namely, wireless module vendors and, more precisely, Option, Sierra Wireless and Novatel. Although these companies all provide similar products, they mainly sell to the telecommunications operator end market. Selling to telecom operators implies a concentrated customer base (only a few operators exist worldwide) and a specific spending cycle. This group of comparables (Telit, Option, Sierra Wireless and Novatel) is the “Tier 1” group.

Companies that sell to the enterprise market (like the Company), which is a more fragmented market with numerous customers, have also been added to the group of comparables. Avocent and Digi address the enterprise market: Digi has a product offering similar to the Company’s and Avocent is more of an infrastructure solution provider, similar to the Company’s strategic growth areas (e.g. Anyware Technologies). Like the Company, they both sell software and wireless services, with a greater focus on a solutions-based approach.

Lastly, Skyworks and RFMD were also included since they are both wireless cellular component players offering both semiconductors and modules. The Company, however, excludes CSR and Conexant from the comparables set as these companies focus on Bluetooth and wireline technologies, while Skyworks and RFMD focus on the same diversified wireless technologies as the Company (e.g. GSM, GPRS, EDGE, etc.). This group of comparables (Avocent, Digi, RFMD and Skyworks) is the “Tier 2” group.

Applying the estimated 2008/2009 EV/Sales multiples methodology to the “Tier 1” group of comparables, the valuation range is 5.9 euros to 6.3 euros per share (the Gemalto Offer representing a 19.3% and 10.5% premium, respectively). Applying the same methodology to the “Tier 2” group of comparables, the valuation range is 14.8 euros to 14.9 euros per share (the Gemalto Offer representing a 52.8% and 53.1% discount, respectively). Applying the same methodology to the whole set of comparables, the Gemalto Offer represents a discount of 33.8% and 28.2% to the Company’s implied standalone valuation of 10.6 euros and 9.7 euros per share, respectively.

Moreover, while the Gemalto Offer is at a significant discount to the implied trading comparables valuation applied to the whole set of comparables, it does not even take into account any control premium, which should be paid to the Company shareholders in a transaction such as the one Gemalto is proposing.

2.2.5.4 Based on precedent transactions, Gemalto’s Offer grossly undervalues the Company

The analysis of the multiples paid in completed comparable transactions involving the acquisition of control in the M2M telecom equipment sector over the last three years demonstrates the undervaluation of Gemalto’s Offer.

Given the lack of public information available, commonly used EBITDA and EBIT multiples cannot be used as a basis for analysis. Therefore, a less complete analysis based only on TV/Sales multiples (i.e. Transaction Value to last twelve months sales multiples) was performed.

When looking at the M2M market shares, it is clear that the Siemens Wireless Modules division transaction is by far the most comparable to the Company on any measure: business model, size and market share. Although the Company seems strategically better positioned with outsourced manufacturing, a stronger IP portfolio and a superior Asian sales force, the Siemens transaction would be the most comparable transaction.

Gemalto’s Offer stands at a discount of between 22.7% and 36.8% of the Company’s implied valuation range of 9.1 euros to 11.1 euros per share, based on the multiples paid in the Siemens Wireless Modules transaction only¹⁵.

When looking at the broader criterion of recent transactions in the M2M sector, three other recent completed comparable transactions have been selected:

• the acquisition of Siemens Wireless Modules by a consortium of investors in March 2008

• the acquisition of Ezurio by Laird Technologies in February 2008

• the acquisition of the M2M division of Bellwave by Telit in May 2008

• the acquisition of the M2M division of Sony Ericsson by the Company in March 2006

¹⁵ Source : estimates of the transaction value from Mergermarket: “an undisclosed consideration estimated to be in the range of EUR 150 to 200m”

- 19 -

On the basis of this larger set of comparable transactions, Gemalto’s Offer stands at a discount of 49.8% to the Company’s implied valuation of approximately 14.0 euros per share, based on multiples paid in previous comparable transactions.

2.2.5.5 The premium offered by Gemalto on the basis of a depressed share price is much lower than those paid in precedent hostile transactions occurring in more favorable stock market environments

Because it is unsolicited, Gemalto’s Offer must also be benchmarked against other hostile transactions in France. Compared to premia observed in the most significant unsolicited public offers completed in France over the past six years, the implied premium of Gemalto’s Offer is 17 points below the premium observed on a 3-month volume weighted average share price basis and 38 points below on a 6-month volume weighted average share price basis.

Only the premia of the last bid in each case are taken into account for this comparison, such premia corresponding to the offer having been accepted by the target company.

VWAP: Volume Weighted Average Price

Moreover, the share price performance of the selected targets during the six months preceding the announcement of the hostile offer showed an average increase of 3%, while the Company’s stock lost 47% during the six months preceding the announcement of Gemalto’s Offer on the back of exceptionally weak and volatile financial market conditions.

On the basis of the 6-month VWAP prior to Gemalto’s Offer, and based on premia observed in precedent French hostile transactions (using the premia observed in the final bids in each case), the Company would be valued at 9.0 euros per share.

2.2.5.6 The Groupe OPEN unsolicited offer on Sylis is a relevant recent precedent where the offer was raised to a premium higher than what Gemalto is offering

The recent French unsolicited public tender offer by Groupe OPEN for Sylis, first initiated on July 7, 2008 and improved on August 28, 2008, although not perfectly comparable given Sylis’capital structure (three shareholders holding together 55% share capital and 66% voting rights of the company, and therefore required to tender their shares for the offer to be successful), has several interesting points of resemblance with the Gemalto Offer for the Company.

• Both Groupe OPEN and Sylis operate in the IT services sector, while both the Company and Gemalto operate in the mobile communications sector

• The Groupe OPEN offer was timed in the summer of 2008, when IT services shares were not in favour with the market and had declined significantly

• The offer was unsolicited after preliminary discussions between the two parties

• The primary offer was in cash, targeting all shares with a success threshold set at 50%

• The strategic rationale of the acquisition was based on enhancing the target’s growth potential

The offer and subsequent improved offer by Groupe OPEN for Sylis shows that a strategic transaction during a period of financial market crisis, such as occurred during the summer 2008, should carry a significant premium, (36.9% premium on the 12-month average share price for the Groupe OPEN/Sylis, compared with the implied volume weighted discount of 22.1% of the Gemalto Offer in the same period) in order to warrant support from all shareholders. The Company’s shareholders deserve an offer recognizing the full strategic value of the Company and, therefore, an offer price significantly higher than currently proposed.

On August 28, 2008, Groupe OPEN effectively raised its offer from 4.25 euros to 4.60 euros per Sylis share, thus implying an increased premium over the latest Sylis share price before announcement of the offer (2.25 euros on July 7, 2008) from 88.9% to 104.4% (spot price), from 50.2% to 62.5% (six-month average), and from 26.5% to 36.9% (12-month average).

2.2.5.7 It is highly unusual to perform a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) valuation without having access to a business plan

Wavecom does not prepare comprehensive financial forecasts as required to perform a relevant DCF valuation analysis. Neither Gemalto nor its advisors have therefore had access to such critical information. Accordingly, the Company believes that the DCF analysis performed by Gemalto lacks any reasonable basis and is therefore meaningless and inadequate.

2.2.6. After taking into account the Company’s cash and marketable securities, Gemalto’s effective purchase price would be 3.7 euros per share. After taking into account, in addition, all of the Company’s tax assets and tax loss carryforwards, Gemalto’s effective purchase price would be further reduced by a maximum amount of 2.0 euros per share (assuming the theoretical ability to use all such assets and carryforwards in 2008), reducing the effective purchase price to a minimum of 1.8 euros per share.

In order to calculate the effective purchase price for Gemalto, which is not a valuation methodology and is provided for illustration purposes only, the Company believes that it is critical to take into consideration the following tax assets of the Company:

• income tax receivable due to carry back of past net operating losses of 9,617,000 euros as at September 30, 2008;

• research tax credit estimated at 2,677,091 euros as at September 30, 2008; and

• tax savings impact of up to 20,210,260 euros (not discounted) from total operating losses carryforwards estimated at 64,740,435 euros as at September 30, 2008.

Given that the Company does not provide guidance to the market, the Company cannot disclose an estimation of a discounted amount of the tax savings related to the tax loss carry forwards, which would require providing guidance on next years taxable income. However, the net operating loss carry forwards all expire beyond 2013, implying a relatively high likelihood of use, depending obviously however, on the Company’s and Gemalto’s future performance and other circumstances.

In its valuation, Gemalto does take into account the tax loss carry forwards, applying a 25% discount, but does not include the income tax receivable related to the carry back nor the research tax credit for a total amount estimated at 12,294,091 euros.

Based on the current Gemalto Offer value of 196.5 million euros (7.00 euros per share and 31.31 euros per OCEANE, including accrued and unpaid interest) and deducting the cash available of 134.6 million euros (after payment of the interest due on the OCEANEs for 2008 and cash proceeds from the exercise of dilutive instruments and theoretical contribution of treasury shares to the Offer), Gemalto effective purchase price would amount to 3.7 euros per share.

The Company believes, however, that the impact of its tax assets should be included in an effective purchase price calculation, because the Company and its shareholders would benefit from these tax assets in the future, on the basis of a timetable that is somewhat uncertain. After deducting all of the Company’s tax assets and tax loss carryforwards, Gemalto’s effective purchase price would be further reduced by 2.0 euros per share, which is the maximum amount assuming full use of all such assets and carryforwards in 2008, i.e. a maximum non discounted amount of 32.5 million euros and thus reducing the effective purchase price to a minimum of 1.8 euros per share.

3 OPINION OF THE WORKERS’ COUNCIL ON THE OFFER

Wavecom’s Workers’ Council met on November 5, 2008 to vote on the following opinion. Wavecom’s Workers’ Council unanimously held that:

“Before providing an opinion on the Offer initiated by Gemalto for shares of Wavecom, Wavecom’s Workers’ Council (the Comité d’Entreprise) wishes to clarify the following information received during this transaction and the context in which it occurred.

Information from the Workers’ Council (Comité d’Entreprise)

The Workers’ Council first learned of the Gemalto Offer for Wavecom on October 6, 2008, in the media, followed by an email from the president of the Workers’ Council.

On October 7, 2008, the Workers’ Council then convened a special meeting and voted unanimously to call a meeting with Gemalto in order to hear their position on the conditions of the Offer.

On October 8, 2008, Wavecom’s CEO, Ron Black, held a meeting with elected members of the Workers’ Council to express the opinion of Wavecom’s Board of Directors regarding the risks of the Gemalto Offer.

At this meeting, the Workers’ Council learned that Wavecom’s Board of Directors deemed the Offer hostile in nature, based on the fact that Gemalto’s only interest was to acquire the unique inSIM® technology and the Anyware Technologies service platform.

On October 24, 2008, the Workers’ Council met with and heard from representatives of Gemalto at Wavecom’s headquarters regarding Gemalto’s objectives and intentions. At that meeting, it became apparent that the M2M market was of interest to Gemalto for its potential medium-term growth and that they have identified this growth market as one in which they intend to invest a portion of their cash reserves. According to them, Wavecom’s markets are experiencing strong growth yet we are not benefiting from it.

Background

Prior to the announcement of the Gemalto Offer, the Workers’ Council was concerned about Wavecom’s declining revenue during the last five quarters.

This decline was approximately 48.49% (between Q2 2007 and Q3 2008), in a growing market (Berg Insight research estimated market growth in M2M for Europe of 34.2% in 2008 and further forecasts of 30% CAGR for the next five years).

- 26 -

Faced with this situation, the Workers’ Council received no clear strategy from management.

Because of this, on September 24, 2008, the Workers’ Council was forced to use its right of alert.

Opinion of the Workers’ Council

To date, in the opinion of the Workers’ Council, Wavecom has:

- Under-invested in the business, particularly in R&D, which is difficult to understand given the level of cash Wavecom currently has;

- Maintained a policy of drastically reducing costs, including social costs, without any specific information or justification as to the objectives of this policy.

These indicators lead to a deep concern that management is willing to effect a merger or other business combination with no regard for the employment situation.

At the meeting on October 24, 2008, Gemalto presented a strategy which, although incomplete, appeared internally consistent. Gemalto seems to show a genuine willingness to:

- Develop sales of Wavecom on the M2M market, thus reinforcing its leadership position,

- Rely on the expertise of Wavecom in developing the synergies with its own business,

- Maintain Wavecom’s employment and technology investments,

- Help Wavecom by letting it benefit from Gemalto’s global infrastructure and their experience in the development of technology and rely on their financial strength.

The Workers’ Council regrets that the way in which the Offer was initiated has not allowed Gemalto to have a better understanding of the skills and expertise of Wavecom.

However, contrary to the opinion of Wavecom’s Board of Directors, and subject to Gemalto’s maintaining employment and investment in technology within the business, the Workers’ Council considers that the Gemalto Offer demonstrates its desire to develop Wavecom.”

5.3 RESTRICTIONS ON THE EXERCISE OF VOTING RIGHTS AND TRANSFER OF SHARES

5.3.1 Statutory restrictions on the exercise of voting rights and transfer of shares

There are no statutory restrictions on the exercise of voting rights or on the transfer of shares of the Company, other than with respect to the Company’s treasury shares which have no voting rights.

5.3.2    Shareholders’ agreement known to the Company and which could lead to restrictions on the transfer of shares or the exercise of voting rights

To the knowledge of the Company, there is no shareholder agreement restricting the transfer of the shares of the Company or the exercise of voting rights.

5.3.3    Contractual provisions regarding preferential conditions for the transfer or purchase of shares concerning at least 0.5% of the share capital or voting rights of the Company

To the knowledge of the Company, there is no contractual clause providing for preferential conditions for the transfer or purchase of shares and concerning at least 0.5% of the share capital or voting rights.

5.4       LIST OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES WHICH CONTAIN SPECIAL CONTROL RIGHTS AND DESCRIPTION THEREWITH

None.

5.5       CONTROL MECHANISMS IN CASE OF AN EVENTUAL EMPLOYEE SHAREHOLDING WHEN THE CONTROL RIGHTS ARE NOT EXERCISED BY THE EMPLOYEES

None.

5.6 AGREEMENTS MODIFIED OR TERMINATED IN CASE OF CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

In Wavecom’s Reference Document relating to the financial year ended December 31, 2007, filed by Wavecom with the AMF on April 8, 2008 under number D.08-0211, the Company describes its important contracts. Some of these contracts contain change in control provisions that would allow the counterparty to terminate the contract in the event of the success of Gemalto’s Offer. Considering the hostile character of the Offer and the fact that some of the mandataires sociaux and other key employees of the Company might not remain in the Company following the Offer, Wavecom is therefore not able to indicate whether the execution of these contracts will continue in the event of the success of Gemalto’s Offer.

Although this agreement does not contain any change of control provision, the Reference Document relating to the financial year ended December 31, 2007, mentions the industrial manufacturing contract with Solectron (bought by Flextronics). This contract was renegotiated in its entirety following Wavecom’s decision to entrust this company with all of Wavecom’s industrial needs. The parties entered into a definitive agreement which is in fact composed of three different contracts: the “Cooperation Agreement”, the “Global Manufacturing Agreement” and the “Supply Chain Agreement”, all signed on November 29, 2007. None of these contracts can be transferred by either party without the agreement of the co-contractor.

The Company has a number of important long standing clients, distributors and suppliers with which it signed several contracts or with which it contracts under the cover of its general sales conditions. The Company has also obtained licenses on third parties’ intellectual property rights, in particular, but not only, on “essential” patents, as described on page 31 of the Company’s 2007 Reference Document. It is not unusual, and it is even systematic, in the Company’s activity sector, for these contracts not to be transferable without the agreement of the co-contractor, or to have a termination clause in case of a change of control. Moreover, some co-contractors might not want to pursue their relationship with the Company in the event of an acquisition by the Offeror.

* The stock options attributed to Mr. Ronald Black are subject to conditions and to a special exercise calendar according to which, in the event of a negotiated merger, acquisition of the Company, or hostile takeover bid on the shares of the Company, that results in Mr. Ronald Black being terminated within six months following the operation or if Mr. Black is not offered an opportunity to perform functions of an equivalent level, he would have the right to exercise his options that would have become eligible for exercise two years following the date of such operation, provided that he uses this right within 90 days following his termination. The stock options of which the exercise could thus be accelerated were attributed on May 17, 2006 and can be exercised for 10.62 euros.

** Holds BSAs which contain an acceleration clause in the event of a change of control.

5.9.2 COMPENSATION PAID TO THE DIRECTORS AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

5.9.2.1. Directors

- 33 -

For the 2008 financial year, the general shareholders’ meeting allocated a maximum global amount of 250,000 euros for directors’ fees, which are allocated based on attendance and participation in the meetings of the Board of Directors and its specialized committees.

5.9.2.2 Executive Officers

(i) Executive Officers

Except as set forth below in section (ii), each Executive Officer receives a base salary plus variable compensation and in some cases, benefits in kind. Pursuant to customary French employment practice, in the event that an Executive Officer’s employment with the Company is terminated at any time for any reason, such Executive Officer agrees not to compete with the Company for a period of time after termination and, in return, receives compensation from the Company during that period so long as the non-compete restriction remains effective against such former executive officer. Certain corporate officers benefit from an additional departure premium, independently from any change in control of the Company.

(ii) Chief Executive Officer

The Company and Ronald Black, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, are party to a service agreement, dated July 22, 2004, as amended in 2006 (the “Service Agreement”). The terms of his compensation were further modified in 2008 as explained below.

Pursuant to the Service Agreement, Mr. Black shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans of the Company including, but not limited to pension, profit sharing, medical coverage, education, or other retirement or welfare benefits that the Company has adopted or may adopt, maintain or contribute to for the benefit of its senior executives at a comparable level subject to satisfying the applicable eligibility requirements.

For the calendar year ended December 31, 2008, Mr. Black’s fixed base compensation rate is 421,500 euros and, pursuant to a resolution of Wavecom’s Board of Directors dated June 17, 2008, he could receive up to 401,000 euros as a performance bonus. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2007, Mr. Black’s fixed base compensation was 421,500 euros and Mr. Black received a bonus of 281,000 euros. Mr. Black also receives benefits in kind due to his expatriation, including housing and indemnities covering his children’s school tuition. Mr. Black has also received equity based compensation subject to a specific vesting calendar and acceleration provisions in the event of a change in control. (See table in section 5.9.1)

The Board of Directors of Wavecom also decided on June 17, 2008, that a special bonus equal to Mr. Black’s annual fixed and variable salary for one year is triggered upon the acquisition of the Company or a change of control through a tender offer at a price which represents a premium of greater than 40% of the trading price on the date of the filing of the offer. A successful completion of the Offer would result in payment of the bonus.

See also provisions of paragraph 5.10 hereafter.

5.10     AGREEMENTS REGARDING THE INDEMNIFICATION OF THE DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES IN THE EVENT THEY RESIGN OR ARE FIRED WITHOUT CAUSE OR IF THEIR TERM ENDS FOLLOWING A TENDER OFFER

In accordance with the terms of his Service Agreement, in the event of a negotiated merger, acquisition of the Company, or hostile takeover bid on the shares of the Company, that results in Mr. Ronald Black being terminated within six months following this event, and if Mr. Black is not offered an opportunity to perform functions of an equivalent level, the Company has undertaken to pay Mr. Ronald Black a severance payment (except in case of gross or wrongful misconduct). The gross amount of this severance payment is equal to three times his annual fixed salary (approximately 1,264,500 euros based on Mr. Black’s annual fixed salary for the calendar year ended December 31, 2008), including the severance payment provided by law and any applicable collective bargaining agreements.

This severance payment, decided before the French “TEPA” law was adopted, must be, before February 22, 2009, brought into compliance with the provisions of the “TEPA” law which requires that severance payments be subject to performance conditions determined by the Board of Directors, approved by the shareholders’ meeting and made public.

6 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE’S INTENT

The Board of Directors and the members of the Executive Committee of the Company announced their intent, as such, not to tender the Shares they hold or will come to hold due to the conversion or the exercise of the Company’s securities.

This intent not to tender concerns a total amount of 3,431,692 Shares representing 21.7% of the capital and 23.3% of the voting rights of the Company existing at September 30, 2008.
