PROXY STATEMENT OF NUMEREX CORP. PROSPECTUS OF SIERRA WIRELESS INC.

MERGER PROPOSED—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

To the Stockholders of Numerex Corp.:

On August 2, 2017, Numerex Corp. (which we refer to as “Numerex”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (which, as may be amended, we refer to as the “merger agreement”) with Sierra Wireless, Inc. (which we refer to as “Sierra Wireless”) and Wireless Acquisition Sub, Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless (which we refer to as “Merger Sub”). The merger agreement provides for the combination of Numerex and Sierra Wireless through a stock-for-stock merger, after which Numerex will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless (which we refer to as the “merger”).

If the merger is completed, you will receive 0.1800 of a Sierra Wireless common share for each share of Numerex Class A common stock (which we refer to as “Numerex common stock”) that you own (which we refer to as the “merger consideration”). This exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the price of Numerex common stock or Sierra Wireless common shares prior to the completion of the merger. The Sierra Wireless common shares issued in connection with the merger will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (which we refer to as the “Nasdaq GM”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (which we refer to as the “TSX”).

The value of the merger consideration will fluctuate with the market price of Sierra Wireless common shares. You should obtain current share price quotations for Numerex common stock and Sierra Wireless common shares. Numerex common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (which we refer to as the “Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “NMRX,” and Sierra Wireless common shares are listed on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX under the ticker symbols “SWIR” and “SW,” respectively. Based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM of $29.65 on August 1, 2017, the last trading day before the public announcement of the merger agreement on August 2, 2017, the exchange ratio represented approximately $5.34 in Sierra Wireless common shares for each share of Numerex common stock. Based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM of $22.20 on October 27, 2017, the latest practicable date before the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the exchange ratio represented approximately $4.00 in Sierra Wireless common shares for each share of Numerex common stock.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. The merger cannot be completed without Numerex stockholders approving and adopting the merger agreement. Numerex is holding a special meeting of its stockholders (which we refer to as the “special meeting”) to vote on the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. More information about Numerex, Sierra Wireless, the merger agreement, the merger and the special meeting is contained in this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read this document carefully before voting, including the section entitled “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 21. Regardless of whether you plan to attend the special meeting, please take the time to vote your shares in accordance with the instructions contained in this document.

Pursuant to the terms of voting agreements between Sierra Wireless and certain stockholders of Numerex who beneficially own approximately 27.2% of Numerex’s outstanding common stock, such Numerex stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement and against any proposal that would reasonably be expected to delay the completion of the merger.

The Numerex board of directors unanimously recommends that Numerex stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement.

Sincerely,	Sincerely,
Kenneth L. Gayron Interim Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer Numerex Corp.	Jason W. Cohenour President and Chief Executive Officer Sierra Wireless Inc.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE SPECIAL MEETING

The following questions and answers are intended to address briefly some commonly asked questions regarding the merger and matters to be addressed at the special meeting. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you. To better understand these matters, and for a description of the legal terms governing the merger, you should carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the attached annexes, as well as the documents that have been incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. For more information, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Q: Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A: On August 2, 2017, Numerex entered into the merger agreement with Sierra Wireless and Merger Sub providing for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Numerex, pursuant to which Numerex will survive the merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless (which we refer to in such capacity as the “surviving corporation”). You are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the solicitation by the Numerex board of directors of proxies of Numerex stockholders to vote in favor of the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal and the adjournment proposal.

Numerex is holding a special meeting to obtain the stockholder approval necessary to approve and adopt the merger agreement, among other matters. A copy of the merger agreement is included as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Among other things, approval of the merger proposal by Numerex stockholders is required for the completion of the merger. See the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions that Must be Satisfied or Waived for the Merger to Occur.”

Numerex stockholders are also being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, certain specified compensation that will or may be paid by Numerex to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger (which we refer to as the “advisory compensation proposal”). Numerex’s named executive officers are identified under the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”

This proxy statement/prospectus constitutes both a proxy statement of Numerex and a prospectus of Sierra Wireless. It is a proxy statement because the Numerex board of directors is soliciting proxies from its stockholders. It is a prospectus because Sierra Wireless will issue to Numerex stockholders its common shares as consideration for the exchange of outstanding shares of Numerex common stock in the merger.

Your vote is very important. We encourage you to submit a proxy to have your shares of Numerex common stock voted as soon as possible.

Q: What is the proposed transaction?

A: If the merger proposal is approved by Numerex stockholders and the other conditions to the completion of the merger contained in the merger agreement are satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will merge with and into Numerex. Numerex will survive the merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless.

Q: What will I receive as a Numerex stockholder if the merger is completed?

A: Under the terms of the merger agreement, if the merger is completed, each share of Numerex common stock (other than shares of Numerex common stock owned directly by Sierra Wireless, Numerex or any of their respective subsidiaries), which we refer to as “eligible shares,” will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.1800 of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Sierra Wireless common share, which we refer to as the “merger consideration.”

No fractional Sierra Wireless common shares will be issued upon the conversion of Numerex common stock. All fractional Sierra Wireless common shares that a holder of eligible shares would be otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to the merger agreement will be aggregated and rounded to three decimal places.

vi

Any holder of eligible shares otherwise entitled to receive a fractional Sierra Wireless common share will be entitled to receive a cash payment, without interest, in lieu of any such fractional share, which payment will be calculated by the exchange agent and will represent such holder’s proportionate interest in a Sierra Wireless common share based on the closing trading price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM, as reported by the Nasdaq GM on the first day immediately following the effective time. No holder of eligible shares will be entitled by virtue of the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional Sierra Wireless common shares to any dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional Sierra Wireless common share.

Based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM on August 1, 2017, the last full trading day before the announcement of the merger agreement, the per share value of Numerex common stock implied by the merger consideration was $5.34. Based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM on October 27, 2017, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the per share value of Numerex common stock implied by the merger consideration was $4.00. The implied value of the merger consideration will fluctuate, however, as the market price of Sierra Wireless common shares fluctuates, because the merger consideration that is payable per share of Numerex common stock is a fixed fraction of a Sierra Wireless common share. As a result, the value of the merger consideration that Numerex stockholders will receive upon the completion of the merger could be greater than, less than or the same as the value of the merger consideration on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or at the time of the special meeting. Accordingly, you are encouraged to obtain current stock price quotations for Numerex common stock and Sierra Wireless common shares before deciding how to vote with respect to the merger proposal. Numerex common stock trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “NMRX” and Sierra Wireless common shares trade on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX under the ticker symbols “SWIR” and “SW,” respectively. The price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM is reported in U.S. dollars, while the price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the TSX is reported in Canadian dollars.

Q: When and where is the special meeting?

A: The special meeting will be held at 10:00 am, Eastern Time, on December 6, 2017, at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest at Galleria, 200 Interstate North Parkway SE, Atlanta, Georgia.

Q: Who is entitled to vote at the special meeting?

Only holders of Numerex common stock as of the close of business in New York, New York on October 19, 2017, which is the record date for the special meeting, are entitled to vote at the special meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. As of the record date, there were 19,675,286 shares of Numerex common stock outstanding. Each outstanding share of Numerex common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter coming before Numerex stockholders at the special meeting.

Pursuant to the terms of voting agreements between Sierra Wireless and certain stockholders of Numerex who beneficially own approximately 27.2% of Numerex’s outstanding common stock, such Numerex stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement and against any proposal that would reasonably be expected to delay the completion of the merger. For more information, see the section entitled “The Voting Agreements.”

Q: Who may attend the special meeting?

A: If you are a Numerex stockholder of record, you may attend the special meeting and vote in person the stock you hold directly in your name. If you choose to do that, you must present valid government-issued photo identification at the special meeting, such as a driver’s license or passport. If you want to vote in person at the special meeting and you hold Numerex common stock in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must present valid government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, and a legal proxy obtained from your bank, broker or other nominee and present it to the inspector of election with your ballot when you vote at the special meeting. Please also bring to the special meeting

vii

your account statement evidencing your beneficial ownership of Numerex common stock as of the record date. Follow the instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee or contact your bank, broker or other nominee to request a proxy. If you vote in person at the special meeting, you will revoke any prior proxy you may have submitted.

Q: What am I being asked to vote on?

A: You are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

• Merger Proposal: to adopt the merger agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Numerex, with Numerex surviving the merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless;

• Advisory Compensation Proposal: to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, certain specified compensation that will or may be paid by Numerex to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger; and

• Adjournment Proposal: to approve the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve and adopt the merger proposal.

The approval of the merger proposal is a condition to the obligations of Numerex and Sierra Wireless to complete the merger. The approval of the advisory compensation proposal and the adjournment proposal are not conditions to the obligations of Numerex or Sierra Wireless to complete the merger and are not binding on Numerex or Sierra Wireless following the merger. No other matters are intended to be brought before the special meeting by Numerex.

Q: What vote is required to approve each proposal?

A: The approval of each of the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal and the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock that are entitled to vote on the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal and the adjournment proposal, as applicable.

Pursuant to the terms of voting agreements between Sierra Wireless and certain stockholders of Numerex who beneficially own approximately 27.2% of Numerex’s outstanding common stock, such Numerex stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement and against any proposal that would reasonably be expected to delay the completion of the merger. For more information, see the section entitled “The Voting Agreements.”

Q: How does the Numerex board of directors recommend that I vote?

A: The Numerex board of directors determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, are fair to, and in the best interests of, Numerex and its stockholders, and has unanimously approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, and recommended adoption of the merger agreement by Numerex stockholders.

Accordingly, the Numerex board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote:

• “FOR” the merger proposal;

• “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal; and

• “FOR” the adjournment proposal.

For a discussion of each proposal, see the sections entitled “The Merger Proposal—Numerex’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Numerex Board of Directors,” “The Advisory Compensation Proposal” and “The Adjournment Proposal.”

viii

Q: Why did the Numerex board of directors approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby?

A: To review the Numerex board of directors’ reasons for (a) determining that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and are fair to, and in the best interests of, Numerex and its stockholders, (b) approving the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (c) recommending adoption of the merger agreement by the Numerex stockholders, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Numerex’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Numerex Board of Directors.”

Q: If my Numerex common stock is represented by physical stock certificates, should I send my stock certificates now?

A: No. If approved, and after the merger is completed, you will receive a transmittal form with instructions for the surrender of your Numerex common stock certificates. Please do not send your stock certificates with your proxy card.

Q: How do I vote my shares?

A: If you are a Numerex stockholder of record as of the record date, you may vote your shares, or authorize a proxy to vote your shares, by:

(1) Internet, by going to the website site shown on your proxy card and following the instructions outlined on the secured website using certain information provided on your proxy card or voting instruction form, thereby authorizing a proxy to vote your shares.

(2) Telephone, if you received your proxy materials by mail, you may vote by using the toll-free number shown on your proxy card, or by following the instructions on your proxy card, thereby authorizing a proxy to vote your shares.

(3) Written Proxy, if you received your proxy materials by mail, you may submit your written proxy by completing the proxy card enclosed with those materials and signing, dating and returning your proxy card by mail in the enclosed return envelope, which requires no additional postage if mailed in the United States, thereby authorizing a proxy to vote your shares.

(4) Attending the Special Meeting, and voting in person if you are a Numerex stockholder of record or if you are a beneficial owner and have a legal proxy from the Numerex stockholder of record.

If your shares of Numerex common stock are held in “street name” by a bank, broker or other nominee, you should have received a voting instruction form from your bank, broker or other nominee and you should follow the instructions given by that institution to direct how your shares are to be voted at the special meeting. If you are a “street name” owner and have a legal proxy from the stockholder of record as of the record date, you may vote in person at the special meeting.

Q: What is a proxy?

A: A proxy is your legal designation of another person, referred to as a “proxy,” to vote your shares of Numerex common stock. The written document describing the matters to be considered and voted on at the special meeting is called a “proxy statement.” The document used to designate a proxy to vote your shares of Numerex common stock is called a “proxy card.”

Q: How do proxies work?

A: The Numerex board of directors is asking for your proxy. Giving Numerex your proxy means that you authorize the proxy holders named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the special meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for all, some or none of the proposals. A failure to vote on the merger proposal or an abstention on the merger proposal will have no effect on the merger proposal, assuming that a

ix

quorum is present. You may also vote for or against the other items or abstain from voting on them. If you sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card but do not specify how to vote, Numerex will vote your shares “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal.

Q: If I am not going to attend the special meeting, should I return my proxy card or otherwise vote my shares?

A: Yes. Completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card by mail or submitting a proxy by calling the toll-free number shown on the proxy card or submitting a proxy by visiting the website shown on the proxy card ensures that your shares will be represented and voted at the special meeting, even if you otherwise do not attend.

Q: If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, broker or other nominee, will the bank, broker or other nominee vote my shares for me?

A: A bank, broker or other nominee will vote your shares only if you provide instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee regarding how to instruct the bank, broker or other nominee to vote your shares.

If you fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, it will have no effect on the outcome of the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal or the adjournment proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present.

Q: Can I change my vote?

A: Yes. If you are a Numerex stockholder of record and have properly completed and submitted your proxy card or proxy by telephone or the Internet, you can change your vote in any of the following ways:

• Sending a written notice (bearing a date later than the date of the proxy) stating that you revoke your proxy to Numerex at 400 Interstate Parkway, Suite 1350, Atlanta, Georgia, 30339, Attn: Shareholder Communications;

• Submitting a valid, later-dated proxy by mail, telephone or the Internet prior to your shares being voted at the special meeting; or

• Attending the special meeting and voting your shares by ballot in person if you are a Numerex stockholder of record or if you are a beneficial owner and have a legal proxy from the Numerex stockholder of record. Please note that simply attending the special meeting will not revoke a proxy.

If you choose to revoke your proxy by written notice or submit a later-dated proxy, you must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 5, 2017.

If your shares are held in “street name” by your bank, broker or other nominee and you have directed such bank, broker or other nominee to vote your shares, you should instruct such bank, broker or other nominee to change your vote and follow the directions you receive from your bank, broker or other nominee in order to change or revoke your vote.

Q: What if I do not vote?

A: If you fail to submit your proxy, fail to vote your shares, abstain from voting or fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote, that failure will have no effect on the outcome of the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal or the adjournment proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present.

If you submit a valid proxy card but do not indicate how you want to vote on a particular proposal, your proxy will be counted as a vote “FOR” that proposal.

x

Q: What should I do now?

A: After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should submit a proxy by mail, by telephone or the Internet to vote your shares as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented and voted at the special meeting. You should follow the instructions set forth on the enclosed proxy card or on the voting instruction form provided by the record holder if your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee.

Q: What constitutes a quorum?

A: A quorum is the number of shares that must be present, in person or by proxy, in order for business to be transacted at a stockholder meeting of Numerex. The required quorum for the special meeting is the presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the special meeting. All shares represented at the special meeting in person or by proxy (including those voted by telephone or the Internet) will be counted toward the quorum. Shares held by Numerex stockholders who mark their proxy card “ABSTAIN,” vote “ABSTAIN” by telephone or the Internet, instruct their bank, broker or other nominee to vote shares held in “street name” to “ABSTAIN” or appear at the special meeting without otherwise voting their shares will be treated as shares represented at the meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares held by Numerex stockholders who do not attend the special meeting and do not submit a proxy or vote by telephone or the Internet will not be treated as represented at the special meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Numerex common stock held in “street name” with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the bank, broker or nominee, will not be considered present at the special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Pursuant to the terms of the voting agreements, certain stockholders of Numerex who beneficially own approximately 27.2% of the outstanding common stock of Numerex have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement and against any proposal that would reasonably be expected to delay the completion of the merger. For more information, see the section entitled “The Voting Agreements.”

Q: Is my vote important?

A: Yes. Your vote is very important. The merger cannot be completed without the approval of the merger proposal by Numerex stockholders. The approval of the merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock that are present at the special meeting in person or by proxy and are entitled to vote at the special meeting. The Numerex board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the merger proposal.

Q: What happens if I transfer or sell my shares of Numerex common stock before the special meeting or before completion of the merger?

A: The record date is earlier than the date of the special meeting and the date that the merger is expected to be completed. If you transfer or sell your shares of Numerex common stock after the record date but before the special meeting, you will retain your right to vote at the special meeting. However, if you are a Numerex stockholder, you will have transferred the right to receive the merger consideration in the merger. In order to receive the merger consideration, you must hold your shares of Numerex common stock through the effective time of the merger.

Q: What if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A: You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus, the proxy card or the voting instruction form. This can occur if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, if you hold shares directly as a holder of record and also in “street name,” or otherwise through another holder of record, and in certain other circumstances. If you receive more than one set of voting materials, please vote or return each set separately in order to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

xi

Q: Where can I find the voting results of the special meeting?

A: The preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the special meeting. In addition, within four business days following certification of the final voting results, Numerex will file the final voting results with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Q: What will happen if the merger proposal is not approved?

A: As a condition to the completion of the merger, Numerex stockholders must approve the merger proposal. If the merger proposal is not approved by the Numerex stockholders, the merger will not be completed. The completion of the merger is not conditioned or dependent upon the approval of the advisory compensation proposal or the adjournment proposal.

Q: Why am I being asked to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the advisory compensation proposal?

A: The SEC has adopted rules that require Numerex to seek an advisory (non-binding) vote on certain specified compensation that will or may be paid by Numerex to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger.

Q: What happens if the advisory compensation proposal is not approved?

A: This vote is advisory and non-binding, and the merger is not conditioned or dependent upon the approval of the advisory compensation proposal. However, Numerex and Sierra Wireless value the opinions of Numerex stockholders and Sierra Wireless expects to consider the outcome of the vote, along with other relevant factors, when considering future executive compensation, assuming the merger is completed.

Q: How will Numerex’s directors and executive officers vote on the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal and the adjournment proposal?

A: It is expected that the Numerex directors and executive officers who are Numerex stockholders will vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal. Pursuant to the terms of the voting agreements, three of Numerex’s directors have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement and against any proposal that would reasonably be expected to delay the completion of the merger. For more information, see the section entitled “The Voting Agreements.”

As of the record date for the special meeting, the directors and executive officers of Numerex owned, in the aggregate, approximately 2,569,210 shares of Numerex common stock, representing approximately 13.06% of the shares of Numerex common stock then outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting.

Q: Do any of Numerex’s directors or executive officers have interests in the merger that may differ from or be in addition to my interests as a stockholder?

A: Yes. In considering the recommendation of the Numerex board of directors with respect to the merger proposal, you should be aware that Numerex’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Numerex stockholders generally. These interests may include, among others, certain payments and benefits payable under employment agreements entered into with executive officers, and rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage by the surviving corporation for acts or omissions occurring prior to the merger. The Numerex board of directors was aware of those interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the merger agreement, the merger, and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. For a discussion of Numerex’s directors’ or executive officers’ interests in the merger that may differ from or be in addition to your interests as a stockholder, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”

xii

Q: Is the obligation of each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless to complete the merger subject to any conditions?

A: Yes. Completion of the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the merger agreement, including, among others, (i) the adoption of the merger agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock entitled to vote on the merger proposal, (ii) the approval for listing on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX of the Sierra Wireless common shares to be issued to Numerex stockholders in connection with the merger, subject only to the provision of required documentation as is customary in the circumstances, (iii) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (which we refer to as the “HSR Act”), (iv) the absence of any law, injunction or other order that prohibits the completion of the merger, (v) the absence of any governmental entity having instituted any pending legal proceeding or claim seeking to restrain, enjoin or prohibit completion of the merger, (vi) the registration statement, of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, having been declared effective by the SEC and (vii) other customary closing conditions, including the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties (subject to specified materiality qualifiers), and each party’s material compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the merger agreement. For a more detailed discussion of the conditions to the completion of the merger, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions that Must Be Satisfied or Waived for the Merger to Occur.”

Q: Will the Sierra Wireless common shares to be issued to me at the completion of the merger be traded on an exchange?

A: Yes. It is a condition to the completion of the merger that the Sierra Wireless common shares to be issued to Numerex stockholders in connection with the merger be approved for listing on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX, subject only to the provision of required documentation as is customary in the circumstances. Therefore, at the effective time of the merger, all Sierra Wireless common shares received by Numerex stockholders in connection with the merger will be listed on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX under the ticker symbols “SWIR” and “SW,” respectively, and may be traded by shareholders on either exchange.

Sierra Wireless common shares received by Numerex stockholders in connection with the merger will be freely transferable except for shares issued to any stockholder deemed to be an “affiliate” of Sierra Wireless for purposes of U.S. federal securities law. For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Restrictions on Resales of Sierra Wireless Common Shares Received in the Merger.”

Q: After the merger, how much of Sierra Wireless will Numerex stockholders own?

A: Based on the number of shares of Numerex common stock outstanding as of October 27, 2017, and the number of Sierra Wireless common shares outstanding as of October 27, 2017, it is expected that, immediately after completion of the merger, the former Numerex stockholders will receive Sierra Wireless common shares in the merger representing approximately 9.9% of the then outstanding Sierra Wireless common shares.

Q: Do you expect the merger to be taxable to me?

A: It is a condition to the completion of the merger that Numerex and Sierra Wireless each receive an opinion of their respective counsel to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code (which we refer to as the “Code”). It is expected that the merger will not result in gain recognition to Numerex stockholders pursuant to Section 367(a) of the Code (collectively, with the treatment under Section 368(a) of the Code, the “Intended Tax Treatment”) (assuming that, in the case of any such holder who would be treated as a “five-percent transferee shareholder” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(5)(ii)) of Sierra Wireless following the merger, such holder enters into a five-year gain recognition agreement in the form provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8). However, neither Numerex nor Sierra Wireless intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal

xiii

income tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the Intended Tax Treatment or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

Assuming the merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders (as defined herein) of Numerex common stock generally are as follows:

• A U.S. holder of Numerex common stock receiving Sierra Wireless common shares in exchange for Numerex common stock pursuant to the merger will not recognize any gain or loss, except for any gain or loss that may result from the receipt by such holder of cash in lieu of fractional Sierra Wireless common shares.

• A U.S. holder of Numerex common stock who receives cash in lieu of a fractional Sierra Wireless common share pursuant to the merger generally will be treated as having received such fractional share in the merger and then as having received cash in redemption of such fractional share. Gain or loss generally will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Numerex common stock surrendered which is allocable to the fractional share.

A Canadian Resident Holder (as defined in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger”) who disposes of his, her or its Numerex common stock for Sierra Wireless common shares pursuant to the merger will generally realize a capital gain (or capital loss) for Canadian income tax purposes equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the Sierra Wireless common shares received (and any cash received in lieu of a fractional Sierra Wireless common share) exceeds (or is less than) the adjusted cost base of the Canadian Resident Holder’s Numerex common stock determined immediately before the disposition and any reasonable costs of disposition.

A Non-Canadian Resident Holder (as defined in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger”) will not be subject to tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada), which we refer to as the “Canadian Tax Act,” on any capital gain realized on a disposition of Numerex common stock pursuant to the merger, or on a subsequent disposition of Sierra Wireless common shares acquired in the merger, unless the relevant share is “taxable Canadian property,” and is not “treaty-protected property” (as those terms are defined in the Canadian Tax Act) of the Non-Canadian Resident Holder, at the time of the disposition.

You should read the sections entitled “The Merger Proposal—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” and “The Merger Proposal—Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” and consult your own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to you in your particular circumstances, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Q: Are there risks associated with the merger?

A: Yes. There are important risks involved both in connection with the merger and in connection with an investment in Sierra Wireless. Before making any decision on whether and how to vote, you are urged to read carefully and in its entirety the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Q: Do I have appraisal or dissenters’ rights for my Numerex common stock in connection with the merger?

A: No. Under Pennsylvania law, Numerex stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenter rights with respect to the merger or any of the other transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus. For further information, please see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal–Absence of Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights.”

xiv

Q: When will the merger be completed?

A: Numerex and Sierra Wireless are working to complete the merger as quickly as possible. In addition to obtaining any required regulatory approvals, and assuming that the merger proposal is approved by Numerex stockholders at the special meeting, other important conditions to the completion of the merger exist. The merger agreement contains an outside date and time of April 1, 2018 for the completion of the merger, which may be extended to August 1, 2018 by either Numerex or Sierra Wireless in certain circumstances, which we refer to as the “outside date.” For a discussion of the conditions to the completion of the merger, see the sections entitled “The Merger Proposal—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger” and “The Merger Agreement—Conditions that Must Be Satisfied or Waived for the Merger to Occur.”

Q: What happens if the merger is not completed?

A: If the merger is not completed for any reason, you will not receive any consideration for your Numerex common stock, and Numerex will remain an independent public company with Numerex common stock being traded on the Nasdaq.

Q: Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

A: Numerex will bear all costs and expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders, except that Numerex and Sierra Wireless have agreed to share equally the expenses of printing and mailing this proxy statement/prospectus and all filing fees payable to the SEC in connection with this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, Numerex will request that banks, brokers and other record holders send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of Numerex common stock and secure their voting instructions, if necessary. Numerex will reimburse the banks, brokers and other record holders for their reasonable expenses in taking those actions. Numerex has also made arrangements with MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to assist in soliciting proxies and in communicating with Numerex stockholders and estimates that it will pay MacKenzie Partners, Inc. a fee of approximately $9,500 plus reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses for these services. Proxies may also be solicited by Numerex’s directors, officers and other employees through the mail or by telephone, the Internet, fax, in person or other means, but no additional compensation will be paid to these persons.

Q: What is “householding”?

A: The SEC has adopted a rule concerning the delivery of annual reports and proxy statements. It permits Numerex, with your permission, to send a single notice of meeting and, to the extent requested, a single set of this proxy statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if Numerex believes they are members of the same family. This rule is called “householding,” and its purpose is to help reduce printing and mailing costs of proxy materials. A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding. If you and members of your household have multiple accounts holding Numerex common stock, you may have received a householding notification from your broker. Please contact your broker directly if you have questions, require additional copies of this proxy statement/prospectus or wish to revoke your decision to household. These options are available to you at any time.

Q: Is the exchange ratio subject to adjustment based on changes in the prices of Numerex common stock or Sierra Wireless common shares? Can it be adjusted for any other reason?

A: As merger consideration, you will receive a fixed number of Sierra Wireless common shares, not a number of shares that will be determined based on a fixed market value. The market value of Sierra Wireless common shares and the market value of Numerex common stock at the effective time may vary significantly from their respective values on the date that the merger agreement was executed or at other dates, such as the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or the date of the special meeting. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including changes in Sierra Wireless’ or Numerex’s respective businesses, operations or prospects, regulatory considerations, and general business, market, industry or economic

xv

conditions. The exchange ratio will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market value of Sierra Wireless common shares or market value of Numerex common stock. Therefore, the aggregate market value of the Sierra Wireless common shares that you are entitled to receive at the time that the merger is completed could vary significantly from the value of such shares on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or the date of the special meeting.

However, the merger consideration will be equitably adjusted to provide you and Sierra Wireless with the same economic effect as contemplated by the merger agreement in the event of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger or other similar transaction involving Numerex common stock or Sierra Wireless common shares prior to the completion of the merger.

Q: Who can answer my questions?

A: If you are a Numerex stockholder and you have any questions about the merger or you would like to request additional documents, including copies of this proxy statement/prospectus, please contact Numerex’s proxy solicitor:

Risk Factors (page 23)

The merger and an investment in Sierra Wireless common shares involve risks, some of which are related to the merger. In considering the merger, you should carefully consider the information about these risks set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors,” together with the other information included or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Merger and the Merger Agreement (page 83)

The merger agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, at the effective time, Merger Sub, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless, will

2

merge with and into Numerex. As a result, Numerex will continue as the surviving corporation in the merger, become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless and cease to be a publicly traded company. The terms and conditions of the merger are contained in the merger agreement, which is described in this proxy statement/prospectus and attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. You are encouraged to read the merger agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the merger. All descriptions in this summary and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus of the terms and conditions of the merger are qualified by reference to the merger agreement.

Merger Consideration (page 37)

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, if the merger is completed, each share of Numerex common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares of Numerex common stock owned directly by Sierra Wireless, Numerex or any of their respective subsidiaries) will be converted into, and become exchangeable for, 0.1800 of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Sierra Wireless common share. For a full description of the treatment of Numerex stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and warrants, see the sections entitled “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Numerex Equity Awards” and “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration.”

Numerex Board of Directors’ Recommendation (page 50)

After careful evaluation of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, at a special meeting of the Numerex board of directors, the Numerex board of directors unanimously (i) determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement were fair to, and in the best interests of, Numerex and its stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, (iii) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of Numerex stockholders and (iv) resolved, subject to the terms of the merger agreement, to recommend that Numerex stockholders vote to approve and adopt the merger agreement.

The Numerex board of directors recommends that Numerex stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal. For the factors considered by the Numerex board of directors in reaching this decision, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Numerex’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Numerex Board of Directors.”

Opinion of Numerex’s Financial Advisor (page 54)

Opinion of Deutsche Bank

At the August 2, 2017 meeting of the Numerex board of directors, Deutsche Bank, financial advisor to Numerex, rendered its oral opinion to the Numerex board of directors, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated August 2, 2017, to the effect that as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations, qualifications and conditions on the review undertaken in connection therewith, as described in Deutsche Bank’s opinion, the exchange ratio of 0.1800 of a Sierra Wireless common share per share of Numerex common stock was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Numerex common stock (other than Sierra Wireless and its affiliates).

The full text of Deutsche Bank’s written opinion, dated August 2, 2017, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations, qualifications and conditions on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary of Deutsche Bank’s opinion set forth in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Deutsche Bank’s opinion was addressed to, and for the use and benefit of, the Numerex board of directors in connection with and for the purpose of its evaluation of the merger. Deutsche Bank’s opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of Numerex common stock should vote with respect to the merger or any related matter. Deutsche Bank’s opinion was limited solely to the fairness of the exchange ratio from a financial point of view, to the holders of outstanding Numerex common stock (other than Sierra Wireless and its affiliates), and Deutsche Bank did not express any opinion as to the underlying decision by Numerex to engage in the merger or the relative merits of the merger as compared to any alternative transactions or business strategies.

The Special Meeting (page 31)

Date, Time and Place of the Special Meeting

The special meeting will be held at 10:00 am, Eastern Time, on December 6, 2017, at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest at Galleria, 200 Interstate North Parkway SE, Atlanta, Georgia.

Record Date and Outstanding Shares of Numerex Common Stock

Only Numerex stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 19, 2017, which is the record date, will be entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

As of the close of business on the record date, there were 19,675,286 shares of Numerex common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting. Each Numerex stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Numerex common stock owned as of the record date.

A complete list of Numerex stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for inspection by any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the special meeting, during the duration of the special meeting.

Quorum

A majority of the shares entitled to vote must be present in person or by proxy at the special meeting in order to constitute a quorum. If you submit a properly executed proxy card or vote by telephone or the Internet, your shares will be considered part of the quorum.

4

Abstentions will be deemed present and entitled to vote at the special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Numerex common stock held in “street name” with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee, and Numerex common stock with respect to which the beneficial owner otherwise fails to vote, will not be considered present at the special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

If a quorum is not present or if there are not sufficient votes for the approval of the merger proposal, then, subject to approval of the adjournment proposal by Numerex stockholders, Numerex expects that the special meeting will be adjourned to solicit additional proxies. At any subsequent reconvening of the special meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the manner in which such proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the special meeting, except for any proxies that have been validly revoked or withdrawn prior to the reconvened meeting.

Pursuant to the terms of voting agreements between Sierra Wireless and certain stockholders of Numerex who beneficially own approximately 27.2% of Numerex’s outstanding common stock, such Numerex stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement and against any proposal that would reasonably be expected to delay the completion of the merger. For more information, see the section entitled “The Voting Agreements.”

Required Vote to Approve the Merger Proposal

Approval of the merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock that are present at the special meeting in person or by proxy and are entitled to vote at the special meeting. If you do not vote your Numerex common stock, abstain from voting or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to vote on the merger proposal, it will have no effect on the outcome of the merger proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present.

Required Vote to Approve the Advisory Compensation Proposal

Approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the advisory compensation proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. If you abstain from voting or submit an instruction to your bank, broker or other nominee that fails to vote “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal, it will have no effect on the outcome of the advisory compensation proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present. The vote on the advisory compensation proposal will not be binding on Sierra Wireless, Numerex, the Numerex board of directors or any of its committees.

Required Vote to Approve the Adjournment Proposal

Approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock that are entitled to vote at the special meeting. If you abstain from voting or submit an instruction to your bank, broker or other nominee that fails to vote “FOR” the adjournment proposal, it will have no effect on the outcome of the adjournment proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present.    

Voting by Directors and Executive Officers

As of the record date, Numerex directors and executive officers had the right to vote approximately 2,569,210 shares of Numerex common stock, representing approximately 13.06% of the shares of Numerex common stock then outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting. It is expected that the Numerex

5

directors and executive officers who are Numerex stockholders will vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal. Pursuant to the terms of the voting agreements, three of Numerex’s directors have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement and against any proposal that would reasonably be expected to delay the completion of the merger. For more information, see the section entitled “The Voting Agreements.” As of the record date, Sierra Wireless directors and executive officers did not beneficially own any shares of Numerex common stock and therefore have no entitlement to vote at the special meeting.

Listing of Sierra Wireless Common Shares (page 64)

The completion of the merger is conditioned upon the approval for listing of Sierra Wireless common shares issuable pursuant to the merger agreement on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX, subject only to the provision of required documentation as is customary in the circumstances.

Delisting and Deregistration of Numerex Common Stock (page 64)

As promptly as practicable after the effective time (and in any event no more than ten (10) days after the effective time), Numerex common stock currently listed on the Nasdaq will cease to be listed on the Nasdaq and will be deregistered under the U.S. Exchange Act.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences (page 69)

It is a condition to the completion of the merger that Numerex and Sierra Wireless each receive an opinion of their respective counsel to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. It is expected that the merger will not result in gain recognition to Numerex stockholders pursuant to Section 367(a) of the Code (assuming that, in the case of any such holder who would be treated as a “five-percent transferee shareholder” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(5)(ii)) of Sierra Wireless following the merger, such holder enters into a five-year gain recognition agreement in the form provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8). However, neither Numerex nor Sierra Wireless intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the Intended Tax Treatment or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

Assuming the merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders of Numerex common stock generally are as follows:

• A U.S. holder of Numerex common stock receiving Sierra Wireless common shares in exchange for Numerex common stock pursuant to the merger will not recognize any gain or loss, except for any gain or loss that may result from the receipt by such holder of cash in lieu of fractional Sierra Wireless common shares.

• A U.S. holder of Numerex common stock who receives cash in lieu of a fractional Sierra Wireless common share pursuant to the merger generally will be treated as having received such fractional share in the merger and then as having received cash in redemption of such fractional share. Gain or loss generally will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Numerex common stock surrendered which is allocable to the fractional share.

You should read the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” and consult your own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to you in your particular circumstances, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (page 74)

A Canadian Resident Holder (as defined in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger”) who disposes of his, her or its Numerex common stock for Sierra Wireless common shares pursuant to the merger will generally realize a capital gain (or capital loss) for Canadian income tax purposes equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the Sierra Wireless common shares received (and any cash received in lieu of a fractional Sierra Wireless common share) exceeds (or is less than) the adjusted cost base of the Canadian Resident Holder’s Numerex common stock determined immediately before the disposition and any reasonable costs of disposition.

A Non-Canadian Resident Holder (as defined in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger”) will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition of Numerex common stock pursuant to the merger, or on a subsequent disposition of Sierra Wireless common shares acquired in the merger, unless the relevant share is “taxable Canadian property,” and is not “treaty-protected property” (as those terms are defined in the Canadian Tax Act) of the Non-Canadian Resident Holder, at the time of the disposition.

For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger.”

Accounting Treatment of the Merger (page 68)

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, Sierra Wireless will account for the merger using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. For a more detailed discussion of the accounting treatment of the merger, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Accounting Treatment of the Merger.”

Treatment of Numerex Equity Awards and Warrants (page 85)

Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

At the effective time, each outstanding Numerex option and Numerex stock appreciation right (which we refer to as a “Numerex SAR”) that has an exercise price that is less than the product of (i) the exchange ratio and (ii) the volume weighted average price of a Sierra Wireless common share on the Nasdaq GM for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day on which the effective time occurs (such Numerex option or Numerex SAR, an “In-the-Money Option” or “In-the-Money SAR,” respectively), will become fully vested and will be automatically cancelled and extinguished in exchange for the right to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time, a number of Sierra Wireless common shares for each such Numerex option and Numerex SAR determined by dividing (i) the excess of (x) the exchange ratio multiplied by the volume weighted average price of a Sierra Wireless common share on the Nasdaq GM for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day on which the effective time occurs minus (y) the per-share exercise price for the shares of Numerex common stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR, as the case may be, by (ii) the volume weighted average price of a Sierra Wireless common share on the Nasdaq GM for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day on which the effective time occurs and rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share. Each Numerex option and Numerex SAR that is not an In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR, as applicable, whether vested or unvested, will automatically be cancelled and extinguished and will cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Numerex common stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor.

Restricted Stock Units

At the effective time, each outstanding restricted stock unit denominated in Numerex common stock (which we refer to as a “Numerex RSU”) whether vested or unvested, will automatically vest in full and any

7

restrictions thereon will lapse. Each Numerex RSU shall be cancelled and the holder of a Numerex RSU will be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable (but no later than 15 calendar days) following the effective time, (i) a number of shares of Sierra Wireless common shares equal to 0.1800 multiplied by the number of shares of Numerex common stock represented by each such Numerex RSU and (ii) any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to any Numerex RSU.

Warrants

Not less than seven business days prior to the closing of the merger, Numerex will provide written notice to all holders of each outstanding unexercised Numerex warrant to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Numerex common stock (each, a “Numerex Warrant”), which notice shall include such reasonable information as a holder of a Numerex Warrant may reasonably require regarding the treatment of a Numerex Warrant in connection with the closing of the merger and which notice shall otherwise be provided in accordance with the terms of each applicable Numerex Warrant agreement. If, upon receiving notice of the closing of the merger, a holder of a Numerex Warrant exercises its Numerex Warrant in accordance with its terms, then its Numerex Warrant will be (i) deemed exercised immediately prior to and contingent upon the closing of the merger and (ii) cancelled and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable (but no later than 15 calendar days) following the effective time, in consideration of the exercise and cancellation of such Numerex Warrant and in settlement therefor, in lieu of the Numerex common stock immediately issuable upon exercise of the Numerex Warrant, the number of Sierra Wireless common shares equal to the exchange ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Numerex common stock issuable upon the exercise of such Numerex Warrant had the Numerex Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. If, upon receiving notice of the closing of the merger, a holder does not exercise its Numerex Warrant in accordance with its terms, then such Numerex Warrant will (i) expire immediately prior to the consummation of the merger and (ii) cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Numerex common stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor.

With regard to the warrant issued to HCP-FVF, LLC (which we refer to as “Hale Capital”) on June 7, 2017, entitling the holder thereof to purchase up to 895,944 shares of Numerex common stock (which we refer to as the “Hale Warrant”), Numerex, Sierra Wireless and Hale Capital have entered into an agreement, dated August 2, 2017 (which we refer to as the “Hale Agreement”), under which and in accordance with the terms of the Hale Warrant, Numerex will purchase the Hale Warrant from Hale Capital for the amount of $4,000,000, following which the Hale Warrant will be cancelled.

For a description of the treatment of Numerex equity awards, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Numerex Equity Awards.”

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger (page 68)

To complete the merger, Numerex and Sierra Wireless must make certain filings, submissions and notices to obtain required authorizations, approvals, consents or expiration or termination of waiting periods from U.S. governmental and regulatory bodies, including antitrust and other regulatory authorities. Numerex and Sierra Wireless are not currently aware of any material governmental filings, authorizations, approvals or consents that are required prior to the parties’ completion of the merger other than those described in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger.”

Completion of the merger is subject to antitrust review in the United States. Under the HSR Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, the merger cannot be completed until the parties to the merger agreement have given notification and furnished information to the Federal Trade Commission (which we refer to as the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (which we refer to as the “DOJ”) and until the applicable waiting period (or any extension of the waiting period) has expired or has been terminated.

8

Numerex and Sierra Wireless each filed a Pre-merger Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with the DOJ and FTC on September 22, 2017. On October 23, 2017, the merger was granted early termination of the waiting period pursuant to the HSR Act.

The merger agreement requires Numerex and Sierra Wireless to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents and approvals of governmental entities required to be obtained for consummation of the merger.

Although Numerex and Sierra Wireless believe that they will receive the required authorizations and approvals described above to complete the merger, there can be no assurance as to the timing of these consents and approvals, Sierra Wireless’ or Numerex’s ultimate ability to obtain such consents or approvals (or any additional consents or approvals that may otherwise become necessary), or the conditions or limitations that such approvals may contain or impose.

Absence of Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights (page 68)

Appraisal or dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that enable stockholders to object to an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay such dissenting stockholders the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the merger consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Dissenters’ rights are not available in all circumstances and exceptions to those rights are set forth in the PBCL.

Under Section 1571 of the PBCL, stockholders of a corporation are not entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights if, on the record date fixed to determine stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of Numerex stockholders, shares of the corporation are either listed on a national securities exchange or held beneficially or of record by more than 2,000 people. Because Numerex’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq, a national securities exchange, holders of Numerex common stock will not be entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights under the PBCL in connection with the merger.

If the merger agreement is adopted and the merger is completed, holders of Numerex common stock who voted against the adoption of the merger agreement will be treated the same as holders who voted for the adoption of the merger agreement and their shares will automatically be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration.

Conditions that Must Be Satisfied or Waived for the Merger to Occur (page 100)

Each party’s obligation to complete the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following mutual conditions:

• adoption of the merger agreement by Numerex stockholders;

• approval of the Sierra Wireless common shares to be issued in the merger for listing on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX, subject only to the provision of required documentation as is customary in the circumstances;

• expiration or early termination of the waiting period applicable to the completion of the merger under the HSR Act, which was provided on October 23, 2017;

• the absence of any court or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction having enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, judgment or law that is in effect and enjoins, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits completion of the merger;

9

• the absence of any governmental entity having instituted any pending legal proceeding, action, claim or litigation before any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction seeking to restrain, enjoin or prohibit the completion of the merger; and

• the registration statement, of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, having been declared effective in accordance with the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement having been issued, and no proceedings for that purpose having been commenced by the SEC, unless subsequently withdrawn.

The obligations of Sierra Wireless and Merger Sub to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of further conditions, including:

• the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Numerex contained in the merger agreement as of the date of the merger agreement and as of the closing date (other than representations that by their terms speak specifically as of another date), subject to the materiality standards provided in the merger agreement;

• Numerex having performed in all material respects the obligations required to be performed by it under the merger agreement at or prior to the closing;

• Sierra Wireless’s receipt of a certificate signed on behalf of Numerex by an executive officer of Numerex, certifying that the conditions set forth in the two bullets directly above have been satisfied;

• since the merger agreement, no material adverse effect on Numerex having occurred; and

• Sierra Wireless will have received an opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers or a nationally-recognized law firm experienced in such matters, dated as of the closing date, that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

The obligation of Numerex to complete the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of further conditions, including:

• the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Sierra Wireless contained in the merger agreement as of the date of the merger agreement and as of the closing date (other than representations that by their terms speak specifically as of another date), subject to the materiality standards provided in the merger agreement;

• Sierra Wireless having performed in all material respects the obligations required to be performed by it under the merger agreement at or prior to the closing;

• Numerex’s receipt of a certificate signed on behalf of Sierra Wireless by an executive officer of Sierra Wireless, certifying that the conditions set forth in the three bullets directly above have been satisfied;

• Numerex will have received an opinion of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP or another nationally-recognized law firm experienced in such matters, dated as of the closing date, that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

No Solicitation (page 93)

The merger agreement generally restricts Numerex’s ability to: (i) initiate, solicit, encourage, knowingly facilitate or induce the making of any inquiry, proposal or offer that would constitute, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an “acquisition proposal” (as defined in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation”); (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any communications or negotiations relating to any acquisition proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be

10

expected to lead to an acquisition proposal (other than to state that the terms of the merger agreement prohibit such communications); or (iii) provide any non-public information relating to Numerex or its subsidiaries to any person in connection with any acquisition proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal.

However, under certain circumstances specified in the merger agreement, Numerex is permitted to furnish information with respect to it and its subsidiaries to third parties and enter into discussions with such third parties in response to unsolicited acquisition proposals if, prior to taking such action, Numerex’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors of national standing, that (i) such acquisition proposal either constitutes a “superior proposal” (as defined in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation”) or could reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal and (ii) the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law.

For further information, including what constitutes an “acquisition proposal” and a “superior proposal,” see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation.”

Termination of the Merger Agreement (page 102)

Subject to conditions and circumstances described in the merger agreement, the merger agreement may be terminated as follows:

• by mutual written consent of Numerex and Sierra Wireless;

• by either Numerex or Sierra Wireless if the merger is not completed by April 1, 2018, subject to extension until August 1, 2018 in specified circumstances;

• by either Numerex or Sierra Wireless if the “requisite Numerex stockholder vote” (i.e., the adoption of the merger agreement by the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting) is not obtained;

• by either Numerex or Sierra Wireless if a governmental entity that must grant an approval in connection with the merger issues a final and non-appealable denial;

• by either Numerex or Sierra Wireless if a governmental entity of competent jurisdiction issues an injunction permanently restraining or enjoining the completion of the merger;

• by Sierra Wireless if: (i) Numerex breaches any of its representations or warranties or fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements under the merger agreement, and such breach or failure to perform (a) would give rise to the failure of a closing condition and (b) is incapable of being cured prior to the outside date or is not cured within 45 days after the giving of notice thereof by Sierra Wireless, or (ii) prior to the time the requisite Numerex stockholder vote is obtained, the Numerex board of directors fails to include the Numerex board recommendation in this proxy statement/prospectus that is filed and mailed to the Numerex stockholders, makes a change of recommendation, or fails to recommend, within ten (10) business days after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer by a third party for outstanding shares of Numerex common stock, against acceptance of such tender or exchange offer; or

• by Numerex if: (i) Sierra Wireless or Merger Sub breaches any of its representations or warranties or fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements under the merger agreement, and such breach or failure to perform (a) would give rise to the failure of a closing condition and (b) is incapable of being cured prior to the outside date or is not cured within 45 days after the giving of notice thereof by Numerex, or (ii) prior to the time the requisite Numerex stockholder vote is obtained, Numerex terminates the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal.

11

Subject to a limited number or circumstances prescribed in the merger agreement, Numerex and Sierra Wireless will be responsible for their own expenses relating to the merger. If, among other conditions described in the merger agreement, prior to the Numerex stockholder approval of the merger having been obtained, either Numerex terminates the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal, or Sierra Wireless terminates the merger agreement after an adverse recommendation change by the Numerex board of directors, then Numerex shall pay to Sierra Wireless a termination fee of approximately $4,012,500.

Your Rights as a Sierra Wireless Shareholder Will Be Different from Your Rights as a Numerex Stockholder (page 118)

Under the terms of the merger agreement, if the merger is completed, each share of Numerex common stock (other than shares of Numerex common stock owned directly by Sierra Wireless, Numerex or any of their respective subsidiaries) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, consisting of 0.1800 of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Sierra Wireless common share. As a result, Numerex stockholders will become Sierra Wireless shareholders and, as such, their rights will be governed principally by the Canada Corporations Act, and Sierra Wireless’ articles of continuance and by-laws, each as amended. These rights differ from the existing rights of Numerex stockholders, which are governed principally by Pennsylvania law and Numerex’s articles of incorporation and by-laws. For a summary of the material differences between the rights of Sierra Wireless shareholders and the existing rights of Numerex stockholders, see the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Sierra Wireless Shareholders and Numerex Stockholders.”

Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger (page 64)

In considering the recommendation of the Numerex board of directors with respect to the merger agreement, you should be aware that Numerex’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Numerex’s stockholders generally. Interests of directors and executive officers that may differ from or be in addition to the interests of Numerex’s stockholders generally include:

• Numerex’s executive officers are parties to change in control agreements with Numerex that provide for severance benefits in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment in connection with or following the merger.

• Under the terms of Numerex’s equity plans, the vesting schedule of equity awards granted to executive officers will be accelerated at the effective time of the merger.

• Numerex’s directors and executive officers are entitled to continued indemnification and insurance coverage, for a period of six years following the effective time, under the merger agreement.

From time to time, Sierra Wireless and Numerex make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws (which we refer to as “forward-looking statements”), including the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. This proxy statement/prospectus, including information incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, may contain forward-looking statements, including, for example, but not limited to, statements about management expectations, business outlook for the short and longer term and statements regarding strategy, plans for future operating performance, and other similar matters. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts and represent only Sierra Wireless’ or Numerex’s beliefs regarding future performance, which is inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements are provided to help you understand Sierra Wireless’ or Numerex’s views of its short and longer term plans, expectations and prospects. Sierra Wireless and Numerex caution you that forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as “expects,” “is expected,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “strategy,” “goals,” “objectives,” “potential,” “possible” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events, conditions or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not promises or guarantees of future performance, they represent Sierra Wireless’ and Numerex’s current views and may change significantly.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements require Sierra Wireless and Numerex to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that give rise to the possibility that Sierra Wireless’ or Numerex’s predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that Sierra Wireless’ or Numerex’s assumptions may not be correct and that Sierra Wireless’ or Numerex’s objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be achieved. Numerex and Sierra Wireless caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the merger does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, stockholder or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all; that Numerex and Sierra Wireless may be required to modify the terms and conditions of the merger agreement to achieve regulatory or stockholder or shareholder approval, or that the anticipated benefits of the merger are not realized as a result of such things as the strength or weakness of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where Numerex and Sierra Wireless do business; general business and economic conditions in Canada, the United States and other countries in which Numerex or Sierra Wireless conduct business; the impact of the movement of the Canadian dollar relative to other currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar; the effects of competition in the markets in which Numerex or Sierra Wireless operate; the impact of changes in the laws and regulations regulating communications devices or affecting domestic and foreign operations; judicial or regulatory judgments and legal proceedings; ability to successfully integrate the two companies; success in retaining the services of executives, key personnel and other employees that the combined company needs to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger; the risk that expected synergies and benefits of the merger will not be realized within the expected time frame or at all; reputational risks; the outcome of various litigation and proceedings in which Sierra Wireless or Numerex are involved and the adequacy of reserves maintained therefor; and other factors that may affect future results of Numerex or Sierra Wireless, including the timely development and introduction of new products and services, changes in tax laws, technological changes, and adverse developments in general market, business, economic, labor, regulatory and political conditions.

Numerex and Sierra Wireless caution that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect the completion of the merger and the future results of Numerex or Sierra

14

Wireless. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, in the case of forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, or the dates of the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, in the case of forward-looking statements made in those incorporated documents. When relying on Sierra Wireless’ or Numerex’s forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Sierra Wireless and Numerex, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

For additional information about factors that could cause Sierra Wireless’ and Numerex’s results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” as well as in the reports that Numerex and Sierra Wireless have filed or furnished with or to the SEC and SEDAR, as applicable, described in the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

UNAUDITED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

The following tables present, as of the dates and for the periods indicated, selected historical, pro forma and pro forma equivalent per share financial information for Sierra Wireless common shares and Numerex common stock. You should read this information in conjunction with, and the information is qualified in its entirety by (i) the consolidated financial statements of Sierra Wireless and notes thereto incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) the consolidated financial statements of Numerex and notes thereto incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, and (iii) the financial information contained in the “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” and notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. For information about the filings incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

The following pro forma information has been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and accordingly includes the effects of acquisition accounting. It does not reflect cost savings, synergies or certain other adjustments that may result from the merger. This information is presented for illustrative purposes only. You should not rely on the pro forma combined or equivalent pro forma amounts as they are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the merger had been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the combined company. The pro forma information, although helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings, opportunities to earn additional revenue, the impact of restructuring and merger-related costs, or other factors that may result as a consequence of the merger and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results.

The following tables assume the issuance of approximately 3.6 million Sierra Wireless common shares in connection with the merger, which is the number of shares issuable by Sierra Wireless in connection with the merger assuming the merger was completed on January 1, 2016 and based on the number of outstanding shares of Numerex common stock at that time. As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, the actual number of Sierra Wireless common shares issuable in the merger will be adjusted based on the number of shares of Numerex common stock outstanding at the completion of the merger. The pro forma data in the tables assume that the merger occurred on January 1, 2016 for income statement purposes and on June 30, 2017 for balance sheet purposes, and that the merger is accounted for as a business combination.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the following risk factors, as well as the other information set forth in and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, before making a decision on the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal or the adjournment proposal. As a Sierra Wireless shareholder following completion of the merger, you will be subject to all risks inherent in the business of Sierra Wireless in addition to the risks relating to Numerex. The market value of your Sierra Wireless common shares will reflect the performance of the business relative to, among other things, that of the competitors of Sierra Wireless and Numerex and general economic, market and industry conditions. The value of your investment may increase or may decline and could result in a loss. You should carefully consider the following factors as well as the other information contained in and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. For information about the filings incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Risks Relating to the Merger

Because the market value of Sierra Wireless common shares that Numerex stockholders will receive in the merger may fluctuate, Numerex stockholders cannot be sure of the market value of the merger consideration that they will receive in the merger.

As merger consideration, Numerex stockholders will receive a fixed number of Sierra Wireless common shares, not a number of shares that will be determined based on a fixed market value. The market value of Sierra Wireless common shares and the market value of Numerex common stock at the effective time may vary significantly from their respective values on the date that the merger agreement was executed or at other dates, such as the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or the date of the special meeting. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including changes in Sierra Wireless’ or Numerex’s respective businesses, operations or prospects, regulatory considerations and general business, market, industry or economic conditions. The exchange ratio will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market value of Sierra Wireless common shares, the comparative value of the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar or market value of the Numerex common stock. Therefore, the aggregate market value of the Sierra Wireless common shares that a Numerex stockholder is entitled to receive at the time that the merger is completed could vary significantly from the value of such shares on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the date of the special meeting or the date on which a Numerex stockholder actually receives its Sierra Wireless common shares.

Upon completion of the merger, Numerex stockholders will become Sierra Wireless shareholders, and the market price for Sierra Wireless common shares may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected Numerex.

Upon completion of the merger, Numerex stockholders will become Sierra Wireless shareholders. Sierra Wireless’ businesses differ from those of Numerex, and accordingly, the results of operations of Sierra Wireless will be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of Numerex. For a discussion of the businesses of Numerex and Sierra Wireless and of some important factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the documents incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus and referred to in the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Certain rights of Numerex stockholders will change as a result of the merger.

Upon completion of the merger, Numerex stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Numerex, a Pennsylvania corporation, but will be shareholders of Sierra Wireless, a Canadian corporation. There will be certain differences between your current rights as a Numerex stockholder, on the one hand, and the rights to which you will be entitled as a Sierra Wireless shareholder, on the other hand. For a more detailed discussion of the differences in the rights of Numerex stockholders and Sierra Wireless shareholders, see the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Sierra Wireless Shareholders and Numerex Stockholders.”

23

There is no assurance when or if the merger will be completed.

The completion of the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the merger agreement, including, among others, (i) the adoption of the merger agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock entitled to vote on the merger proposal, (ii) the approval for listing on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX of the Sierra Wireless common shares to be issued to Numerex stockholders in connection with the merger, subject only to the provision of required documentation as is customary in the circumstances, (iii) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, (iv) the absence of any law, injunction or other order that prohibits the completion of the merger, (v) the absence of any governmental entity having instituted any pending legal proceeding or claim seeking to restrain, enjoin or prohibit completion of the merger, (vi) the registration statement, of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, having been declared effective by the SEC and (vii) other customary closing conditions, including the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties (subject to specified materiality qualifiers), and each party’s material compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the merger agreement. There can be no assurance as to when these conditions will be satisfied or waived, if at all, or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the failure to complete the merger.

Numerex and Sierra Wireless have made various filings and submissions and are pursuing all required consents, orders and approvals in accordance with the merger agreement. No assurance can be given that the required consents, orders and approvals will be obtained or that the required conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied. Even if all such consents, orders and approvals are obtained and such conditions are satisfied, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of such consents, orders and approvals. For example, these consents, orders and approvals may impose conditions on or require divestitures relating to the divisions, operations or assets of Numerex and Sierra Wireless or may impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions on the conduct of Numerex’s or Sierra Wireless’ business, and if such consents, orders and approvals require an extended period of time to be obtained, such extended period of time could increase the chance that an adverse event occurs with respect to Numerex or Sierra Wireless. Such extended period of time also may increase the chance that other adverse effects with respect to Numerex or Sierra Wireless could occur, such as the loss of key personnel. Each party’s obligation to complete the merger is also subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party (subject to certain qualifications and exceptions) and the performance in all material respects of the other party’s covenants under the merger agreement. As a result of these conditions, Numerex and Sierra Wireless cannot provide assurance that the merger will be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all. For more information, see the sections entitled “The Merger Proposal—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger” and “The Merger Agreement—Conditions that Must Be Satisfied or Waived for the Merger to Occur.”

The special meeting may take place before all of the required regulatory approvals have been obtained and before all conditions to such approvals, if any, are known. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the merger proposal is approved by Numerex stockholders, Numerex and Sierra Wireless would not be required to seek further approval of Numerex stockholders, even if the conditions imposed in obtaining required regulatory approvals could have an adverse effect on Numerex or Sierra Wireless either before or after completing the merger.

The combined company may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger.

Sierra Wireless and Numerex believe that the merger will provide benefits to the combined company as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. However, there is a risk that some or all of the expected benefits of the merger may fail to materialize, or may not occur within the time periods anticipated by Sierra Wireless and Numerex. The realization of such benefits may be affected by a number of factors, including regulatory considerations and decisions, many of which are beyond the control of Sierra Wireless and Numerex. The challenge of coordinating previously independent businesses makes evaluating the business and future

24

financial prospects of the combined company following the merger difficult. Numerex and Sierra Wireless have operated and, until completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. The success of the merger, including anticipated benefits and cost savings, will depend, in part, on the ability to successfully integrate the operations of both companies in a manner that results in various benefits, including, among other things, an increase in the dividend, an expanded market reach and operating efficiencies, and that does not materially disrupt existing client relationships nor result in decreased revenues due to the full or partial loss of customers. The past financial performance of each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless may not be indicative of their future financial performance. Realization of the anticipated benefits in the merger will depend, in part, on the combined company’s ability to successfully integrate Numerex and Sierra Wireless’ businesses. The combined company will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating its business practices and support functions. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the merger and the coordination of the two companies’ operations could have an adverse effect on the business, financial results, financial condition or the share price of the combined company following the merger. The coordination process may also result in additional and unforeseen expenses.

Failure to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger may impact the financial performance of the combined company and the price of the combined company’s common shares.

The announcement and pendency of the merger could adversely affect each of Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ business, results of operations and financial condition.

The announcement and pendency of the merger could cause disruptions in and create uncertainty surrounding Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ business, including affecting Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ relationships with its existing and future customers, suppliers and employees, which could have an adverse effect on Numerex’s or Sierra Wireless’ business, results of operations and financial condition, regardless of whether the merger is completed. In particular, Numerex and Sierra Wireless could potentially lose important personnel as a result of the departure of employees who decide to pursue other opportunities in light of the merger. Numerex and Sierra Wireless could also potentially lose customers or suppliers, and new customer or supplier contracts could be delayed or decreased. In addition, each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless has expended, and continues to expend, significant management resources in an effort to complete the merger, which are being diverted from Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ day-to-day operations.

If the merger is not completed, Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ stock prices may fall to the extent that the current prices of Numerex common stock and Sierra Wireless common shares reflect a market assumption that the merger will be completed. In addition, the failure to complete the merger may result in negative publicity or a negative impression of Numerex in the investment community and may affect Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ relationship with employees, customers, suppliers and other partners in the business community.

Numerex and Sierra Wireless will incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the merger.

Numerex and Sierra Wireless have incurred and expect to incur additional material non-recurring expenses in connection with the merger and completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including costs relating to obtaining required approvals. Numerex and Sierra Wireless have incurred significant legal, advisory and financial services fees in connection with the process of negotiating and evaluating the terms of the merger. Additional significant unanticipated costs may be incurred in the course of coordinating the businesses of Numerex and Sierra Wireless after completion of the merger. Even if the merger is not completed, Numerex and Sierra Wireless will need to pay certain costs relating to the merger incurred prior to the date the merger was abandoned, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, filing and printing fees. Such costs may be significant and could have an adverse effect on the parties’ future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In addition to its own fees and expenses, Numerex may be required to reimburse Sierra Wireless for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses up to $850,000 in the event that, among other things, Numerex stockholders do not adopt the merger agreement and the merger agreement is terminated. Furthermore, if the

25

merger agreement is terminated by Sierra Wireless as a result of any fraud or willful and material breach of the merger agreement by Numerex, then Numerex will be required to reimburse Sierra Wireless for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses up to $2,000,000.

Significant demands will be placed on Numerex and Sierra Wireless as a result of the merger.

As a result of the pursuit and completion of the merger, significant demands will be placed on the managerial, operational and financial personnel and systems of Numerex and Sierra Wireless. Numerex and Sierra Wireless cannot assure you that their systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support the expansion of operations following and resulting from the merger. The future operating results of the combined company will be affected by the ability of its officers and key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and expand its operational and financial controls and reporting systems in response to the merger.

Additional capital requirements.

Following completion of the merger, the combined company will require significant ongoing capital expenditures and, although Sierra Wireless and Numerex anticipate that the combined company will be able to fund these expenditures through usage of the combined company’s cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, letters of credit and subsequent debt, equity or hybrid offerings, there can be no assurances that the combined company will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of Numerex and Sierra Wireless is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations or financial condition of the combined company following the merger.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared using the consolidated historical financial statements of Sierra Wireless and Numerex, respectively, is presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be an indication of the results of operations or financial condition of the combined company following the merger. In addition, the pro forma combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the merger. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the combined company’s results of operations or financial condition following the merger. Accordingly, the historical and pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus does not necessarily represent the combined company’s results of operations and financial condition had Numerex and Sierra Wireless operated as a combined entity during the periods presented, or of the combined company’s results of operations and financial condition following completion of the merger. The combined company’s potential for future business success and operating profitability must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties typically encountered by recently combined companies.

In preparing the pro forma financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, Sierra Wireless has given effect to, among other items, the completion of the merger, the payment of the merger consideration and the indebtedness of Sierra Wireless on a combined basis after giving effect to the merger, including the indebtedness of Numerex. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect all of the costs that are expected to be incurred by Numerex and Sierra Wireless in connection with the merger. For more information, see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements,” including the notes thereto.

While the merger agreement is in effect, Numerex, Sierra Wireless and their respective subsidiaries’ businesses are subject to restrictions on their business activities.

Under the merger agreement, Numerex and its respective subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of their respective businesses and generally must operate their respective businesses in the

26

ordinary course prior to completing the merger (unless Numerex obtains the Sierra Wireless’ consent, which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which may restrict Numerex’s ability to exercise certain of its business strategies. Under the merger agreement, Sierra Wireless is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business and generally must operate its business in the ordinary course prior to completing the merger (unless Sierra Wireless obtains Numerex’s consent, with any such request for consent to be given good faith consideration by Numerex), which may restrict Sierra Wireless’ ability to exercise certain of its business strategies. These restrictions may prevent Numerex and Sierra Wireless from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities, making certain investments or acquisitions, selling assets, engaging in capital expenditures in excess of certain agreed limits, incurring indebtedness or making changes to Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ respective businesses prior to the completion of the merger or termination of the merger agreement, as applicable. These restrictions could have an adverse effect on Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ respective businesses, financial results, financial condition or stock price.

In addition, the merger agreement prohibits Numerex from: (i) initiating, soliciting, encouraging, knowingly facilitating or inducing, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the merger agreement, the making of any inquiry, proposal or offer that would constitute, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition proposal, (ii) engaging in, continuing or otherwise participating in any communications or negotiations relating to any acquisition proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal; or (iii) providing any non-public information relating to Numerex or its subsidiaries to any person in connection with any acquisition proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal. Numerex may be required to pay Sierra Wireless a termination fee of approximately $4,012,500 if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified in the merger agreement.

These provisions may limit Numerex’s ability to pursue offers from third parties that could result in greater value to Numerex stockholders than the merger consideration. The termination fee may also discourage third parties from pursuing an alternative acquisition proposal with respect to Numerex.

The termination of the merger agreement could negatively impact Numerex.

If the merger is not completed for any reason, including as a result of Numerex stockholders failing to approve the merger proposal, the ongoing businesses of Numerex may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of having completed the merger, Numerex would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

• Numerex may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including a decline of its stock price (which may reflect a market assumption that the merger will be completed);

• Numerex may experience negative reactions from the investment community, its customers, regulators and employees and other partners in the business community;

• Numerex may be required to pay certain costs relating to the merger, whether or not the merger is completed; and

• matters relating to the merger will have required substantial commitments of time and resources by Numerex management, which would otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to Numerex had the merger not been contemplated.

If the merger agreement is terminated and the Numerex board of directors seeks another merger, business combination or other transaction, Numerex stockholders cannot be certain that Numerex will find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the merger consideration Numerex stockholders would receive from Sierra Wireless in the merger. If the merger agreement is terminated under circumstances specified in the merger agreement, Numerex may be required to pay Sierra Wireless a termination fee of approximately $4,012,500 or reimburse Sierra Wireless for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses up to $850,000 or $2,000,000, depending on the circumstances surrounding the termination.

27

See the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” for a more complete discussion of the circumstances under which the merger agreement could be terminated and when the termination fee and expense reimbursement may be payable by Numerex or Sierra Wireless, as applicable.

Directors and executive officers of Numerex have interests in the merger that may differ from the interests of Numerex stockholders generally, including, if the merger is completed, the receipt of financial and other benefits.

In considering the recommendation of the Numerex board of directors, you should be aware that Numerex’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Numerex stockholders generally. These interests include, among others, the treatment of outstanding equity awards pursuant to the merger agreement, potential severance benefits and other payments, and rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage. These interests are described in more detail in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”

Except in specified circumstances, if the merger is not completed by April 1, 2018, subject to extension in specified circumstances, either Numerex or Sierra Wireless may choose not to proceed with the merger.

Either Numerex or Sierra Wireless may terminate the merger agreement if the merger has not been completed by April 1, 2018. However, this right to terminate the merger agreement will not be available to Numerex or Sierra Wireless if the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under the merger agreement has been the principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the merger to be complete on or before such time. Termination of the merger agreement will also result in termination of the voting agreements. For more information, see the sections entitled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” and “The Voting Agreements.”

Neither Numerex nor Sierra Wireless intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger.

It is a condition to the completion of the merger that Numerex and Sierra Wireless each receive an opinion of their respective counsel to the effect that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. It is expected that the merger will not result in gain recognition to Numerex stockholders pursuant to Section 367(a) of the Code (assuming that, in the case of any such holder who would be treated as a “five-percent transferee shareholder” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(5)(ii)) of Sierra Wireless following the merger, such holder enters into a five-year gain recognition agreement in the form provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8). However, neither Numerex nor Sierra Wireless intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the Intended Tax Treatment or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. You should read the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” and consult your own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to you in your particular circumstances.

Future changes to U.S., Canadian and foreign tax laws could adversely affect the combined company.

The U.S. Congress, the Canadian House of Commons, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and other government agencies in jurisdictions where Sierra Wireless and its affiliates do business have been focused on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. Specific attention has been paid to “base erosion and profit shifting,” where payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As a result, the tax laws in the United States, Canada and other countries in which Sierra Wireless and its affiliates do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such change could adversely affect the combined company.

28

Sierra Wireless is organized under the laws of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets are, and many of its directors and officers reside, outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for shareholders to enforce civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States in Canada.

Sierra Wireless is organized under the laws of Canada. A substantial portion of Sierra Wireless’ assets are located outside the United States, and many of Sierra Wireless’ directors and officers and some of the experts named in this proxy statement/prospectus are residents of jurisdictions outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service within the United States upon Sierra Wireless and those directors, officers and experts, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of Sierra Wireless and such directors, officers or experts under the U.S. federal securities laws. There is uncertainty as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in original actions, or in actions to enforce judgments of U.S. courts, of the civil liabilities predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws.

Resales of Sierra Wireless common shares following the merger may cause the market value of Sierra Wireless common shares to decline.

Sierra Wireless expects that it will issue up to approximately 3,541,652 Sierra Wireless common shares at the effective time in connection with the merger. The issuance of these new shares and the sale of additional shares that may become eligible for sale in the public market from time to time could have the effect of depressing the market value for Sierra Wireless common shares. The increase in the number of Sierra Wireless common shares may lead to sales of such Sierra Wireless common shares or the perception that such sales may occur, either of which may adversely affect the market for, and the market value of, Sierra Wireless common shares.

The market value of Sierra Wireless common shares may decline as a result of the merger.

The market value of Sierra Wireless common shares may decline as a result of the merger if, among other things, the combined company is unable to achieve the expected growth in earnings, or if the operational cost savings estimates in connection with the integration of Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ businesses are not realized or if the transaction costs related to the merger are greater than expected. The market value also may decline if the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by the market or if the effect of the merger on the combined company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

Numerex and Sierra Wireless may be targets of securities class action and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the merger from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into merger agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the merger, then that injunction may delay or prevent the merger from being completed. Following announcement of the merger, two putative class actions were filed by purported stockholders of Numerex challenging the merger. The lawsuits were both filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia under the titles Efrem Litwin v. Numerex Corp. et al, 17-cv-03893 and Anthony Franchi v. Numerex Corp. et al, 17-mi-99999. For information regarding these class actions, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal — Litigation Relating to the Merger” beginning on page 57 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Numerex stockowners do not have the right to dissent under Pennsylvania law.

Appraisal or dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that enable stockholders to object to an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay such dissenting stockholders the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the merger consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Dissenters’ rights are not available in all circumstances and exceptions to those rights are set forth in the PBCL.

29

Under Section 1571 of the PBCL, stockholders are not entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights if, on the record date fixed to determine stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of Numerex stockholders, shares of the corporation are either listed on a national securities exchange or held beneficially or of record by more than 2,000 people. Because Numerex’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq, a national securities exchange, holders of Numerex common stock will not be entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights under the PBCL in connection with the merger.

If the merger agreement is adopted and the merger is completed, holders of Numerex common stock who voted against the adoption of the merger agreement will be treated the same as holders who voted for the adoption of the merger agreement and their shares will automatically be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration.

Risks Related to Numerex’s Business

You should read and consider the risk factors specific to Numerex’s business that will also affect the combined company after completion of the merger. These risks are described in Numerex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, and in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information” for the location of information incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Risks Related to Sierra Wireless’ Business

You should read and consider the risk factors specific to Sierra Wireless’ business that will also affect the combined company after completion of the merger. These risks are described in Sierra Wireless’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 contained in its Annual Report on Form 40-F, which is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, and in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information” for the location of information incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

Numerex is providing this proxy statement/prospectus to Numerex stockholders for the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the special meeting that Numerex has called for the purposes described below. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being mailed to Numerex stockholders on or about October 31, 2017 and provides Numerex stockholders with the information they need to know about the merger and the proposals to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the special meeting.

Date, Time and Place of the Special Meeting

The special meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on December 6, 2017, at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest at Galleria, 200 Interstate North Parkway SE, Atlanta, Georgia.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

At the special meeting, Numerex stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals, which we collectively refer to as the “proposals”:

• Merger Proposal: to adopt the merger agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Numerex, with Numerex surviving the merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless;

• Advisory Compensation Proposal: to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, certain specified compensation that will or may be paid by Numerex to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger; and

• Adjournment Proposal: to approve the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve and adopt the merger proposal.

Recommendation of the Numerex Board of Directors

After careful consideration, the Numerex board of directors has (i) determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, Numerex and its stockholders, (ii) unanimously approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, (iii) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to a vote at the special meeting of Numerex stockholders and (iv) resolved to recommend that Numerex stockholders vote to approve each of the proposals. The Numerex board of directors unanimously recommends that Numerex stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal. For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Numerex’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Numerex Board of Directors.”

In considering the recommendation of the Numerex board of directors with respect to the proposals, you should be aware that Numerex’s directors and executive officers have interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Numerex stockholders generally. For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”

Record Date and Outstanding Shares of Numerex Common Stock

Only Numerex stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 19, 2017, the record date, will be entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

31

As of the close of business on the record date, there were 19,675,286 shares of Numerex common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting. Each Numerex stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Numerex common stock owned as of the record date.

A complete list of Numerex stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for inspection by any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the special meeting, during the duration of the special meeting.

Quorum

A majority of the shares entitled to vote must be present in person or by proxy at the special meeting in order to constitute a quorum. If you submit a properly executed proxy card or vote by telephone or the Internet, your shares will be considered part of the quorum.

Abstentions will be deemed present at the special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Numerex common stock held in “street name” with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee, and Numerex common stock with respect to which the beneficial owner otherwise fails to vote, will not be considered present at the special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

If a quorum is not present or if there are not sufficient votes for the approval of the merger proposal, then, subject to approval of the adjournment proposal by Numerex stockholders, Numerex expects that the special meeting will be adjourned to solicit additional proxies. At any subsequent reconvening of the special meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the manner in which such proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the special meeting, except for any proxies that have been validly revoked or withdrawn prior to the reconvened meeting.

Pursuant to the terms of the voting agreements, certain stockholders of Numerex who beneficially own approximately 27.2% of the outstanding common stock of Numerex have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement and against any proposal that would reasonably be expected to delay the completion of the merger. For more information, see the section entitled “The Voting Agreements.”

Required Vote

Required Vote to Approve the Merger Proposal

Approval of the merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock that are present at the special meeting in person or by proxy and are entitled to vote at the special meeting. Therefore, if you do not vote your shares of Numerex common stock, abstain from voting or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to vote on the merger proposal, it will have no effect on the outcome of the merger proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present.

Required Vote to Approve the Advisory Compensation Proposal

Approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the advisory compensation proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock that are present at the special meeting in person or by proxy and are entitled to vote at the special meeting. If you abstain from voting or submit an instruction to your bank, broker or other nominee that fails to vote “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal, it will have no effect on the outcome of the advisory compensation proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present. The vote on the advisory compensation proposal will not be binding on Sierra Wireless, Numerex, the Numerex board of directors or any of its committees.

32

Required Vote to Approve the Adjournment Proposal

Approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock that are present at the special meeting in person or by proxy and are entitled to vote at the special meeting. If you abstain from voting or submit an instruction to your bank, broker or other nominee that fails to vote “FOR” the adjournment proposal, it will have no effect on the outcome of the adjournment proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present.

Adjournment

In accordance with Section 1756 of the PBCL, a vote on adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger agreement may be taken in the absence of a quorum. If the special meeting is adjourned, stockholders who have already submitted their proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use. At any subsequent reconvening of the special meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the manner in which such proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the special meeting, except for any proxies that have been validly revoked or withdrawn prior to the subsequent meeting.

In addition, the merger agreement provides that, with the prior written consent of Sierra Wireless and subject to certain conditions, Numerex may postpone or adjourn the Numerex stockholder meeting up to two (2) times for up to thirty (30) days to the extent permitted by the PBCL or any other applicable law.

Voting by Directors and Executive Officers

As of the record date for the special meeting, the Numerex directors and executive officers had the right to vote approximately 2,569,210 shares of Numerex common stock, representing approximately 13.06% of the shares of Numerex common stock then outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting. It is expected that the Numerex directors and executive officers who are Numerex stockholders will vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal. Pursuant to the terms of the voting agreements, three of Numerex’s directors have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement and against any proposal that would reasonably be expected to delay the completion of the merger. For more information, see the section entitled “The Voting Agreements.” As of the record date, Sierra Wireless directors and executive officers did not beneficially own any shares of Numerex common stock and therefore have no entitlement to vote at the special meeting.

Voting by Proxy or in Person

Voting and Submitting a Proxy for Numerex Common Stock Held by Holders of Record

If you were a holder of record of Numerex common stock at the close of business on the record date, you may vote in person by attending the special meeting or, to ensure that your shares are represented at the special meeting, you may authorize a proxy to vote your shares by:

• Internet, by going to the website shown on your proxy card and following the instructions outlined on the secured website using certain information provided on your proxy card or voting instruction form, thereby authorizing a proxy to vote your shares.

• Telephone, if you received your proxy materials by mail, you may vote by using the toll-free number shown on your proxy card, or by following the instructions on your proxy card, thereby authorizing a proxy to vote your shares.

• Written Proxy, if you received your proxy materials by mail, you may submit your written proxy by completing the proxy card enclosed with those materials and signing, dating and returning your

33

proxy card by mail in the enclosed return envelope, which requires no additional postage if mailed in the United States, thereby authorizing a proxy to vote your shares.

• Attending the Special Meeting, and voting in person if you are a Numerex stockholder of record or if you are a beneficial owner and have a legal proxy from the Numerex stockholder of record.

When you submit a proxy by telephone or the Internet, your proxy is recorded immediately. We encourage you to submit your proxy using these methods whenever possible. If you submit a proxy by telephone or the Internet, please do not return your proxy card by mail.

All shares of Numerex common stock represented by each properly executed and valid proxy received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 5, 2017 will be voted in accordance with the instructions given on the proxy. If a Numerex stockholder executes a proxy card without giving instructions, the Numerex common stock represented by that proxy card will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Accordingly, please submit your proxy by telephone, the Internet or mail, whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting in person. Proxies must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 5, 2017.

Voting and Submitting a Proxy for Numerex Common Stock Held in “Street Name”

If your Numerex common stock is held in an account at a bank, broker or other nominee, you must instruct the bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote them by following the instructions that the bank, broker or other nominee provides to you with these proxy materials. Most banks, brokers and other nominees offer the ability for stockholders to submit voting instructions by mail by completing a voting instruction card, by telephone, and by the Internet.

If you hold your Numerex common stock in a brokerage account and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposal. In accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq, brokers who hold Numerex common stock in “street name” for their customers have authority to vote on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners, but are precluded from exercising their voting discretion with respect to non-routine matters. All of the proposals at the special meeting (i.e., the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal and the adjournment proposal) are expected to be considered non-routine proposals. As a result, absent voting instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, brokers will not be empowered to vote such shares at the special meeting and we do not expect broker non-votes on any of the proposals at the special meeting. A broker non-vote occurs on an item when (i) a broker has discretionary authority to vote on at least one routine proposal at a meeting, but under stock exchange rules is not permitted to vote on other non-routine proposals without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and (ii) that broker exercises its discretionary authority on the routine proposal after the beneficial owner fails to provide such instructions, resulting in broker non-votes on each of the non-routine proposals.

If you fail to submit any instruction to your bank, broker or other nominee, that failure will have no effect on the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal or the adjournment proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present.

If you hold shares through a bank, broker or other nominee and wish to vote your shares in person at the special meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee and present it to the inspector of election with your ballot when you vote at the special meeting.

34

Revocability of Proxies and Changes to a Numerex Stockholder’s Vote

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy and/or change your vote by:

• sending a written notice (bearing a date later than the date of the proxy) stating that you revoke your proxy to Numerex at 400 Interstate Parkway, Suite 1350, Atlanta, GA 30339, Attn: Shareholder Communications;

• submitting a valid, later-dated proxy by the Internet, telephone or mail prior to your shares being voted at the special meeting; or

• attending the special meeting and voting by ballot in person (your attendance at the special meeting will not, without voting, revoke any proxy that you have previously given).

If you choose to revoke your proxy by written notice or submit a later-dated proxy, you must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 5, 2017.

If your shares are held in “street name” by your bank, broker or other nominee and you have directed such bank, broker or other nominee to vote your shares, you may instruct such bank, broker or other nominee to change your vote and follow the directions you receive from your bank, broker or other nominee in order to change or revoke your vote.

Abstentions

If you mark your proxy or voting instructions to abstain, it will have no effect on the outcome of the merger proposal, the advisory compensation proposal or the adjournment proposal, assuming that a quorum is otherwise present.

If no instruction as to how to vote is given (including an instruction to abstain) in an executed, duly returned and not revoked proxy, the proxy will be voted “FOR” each of (i) the merger proposal, (ii) the advisory compensation proposal and (iii) the adjournment proposal. However, if you indicate that you wish to vote against the merger proposal, your shares will only be voted in favor of the advisory compensation proposal and the adjournment proposal if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of such proposal(s).

Tabulation of Votes

The inspector of election at the special meeting will, among other matters, determine the number of shares of Numerex common stock represented at the special meeting to confirm the existence of a quorum, determine the validity of all proxies and ballots and certify the results of voting on all proposals submitted to the Numerex stockholders.

Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses of Solicitation

Numerex will bear all costs and expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders, except that Numerex and Sierra Wireless have agreed to share equally the expenses of printing and mailing this proxy statement/prospectus and all filing fees payable to the SEC in connection with this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, Numerex will request that banks, brokers and other record holders send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of Numerex common stock and secure their voting instructions, if necessary. Numerex will reimburse the banks, brokers and other record holders for their reasonable expenses in taking those actions. Numerex has also made arrangements with MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to assist in soliciting proxies and in communicating with Numerex stockholders and estimates that it will pay them a fee of approximately $9,500 plus reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses for these services. Proxies may also be solicited by Numerex’s directors, officers and other employees through the mail or by telephone, the Internet, fax or other means, but no additional compensation will be paid to these persons.

35

Householding

The SEC has adopted a rule concerning the delivery of annual reports and proxy statements. It permits Numerex, with your permission, to send a single notice of meeting and, to the extent requested, a single set of this proxy statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if Numerex believes they are members of the same family. This rule is called “householding,” and its purpose is to help reduce printing and mailing costs of proxy materials.

A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding. If you and members of your household have multiple accounts holding Numerex common stock, you may have received a householding notification from your broker. Please contact your broker directly if you have questions, require additional copies of this proxy statement/prospectus or wish to revoke your decision to household. These options are available to you at any time.

Other Information

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Numerex board of directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the special meeting other than as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. If any other matters properly come before the special meeting, or any adjournments of the special meeting, that are set forth in the notice for such special meeting in accordance with the Numerex by-laws and are proposed and are properly voted upon, the enclosed proxies will give the individuals that Numerex stockholders name as proxies discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by these proxies as to any of these matters.

The matters to be considered at the special meeting are of great importance to Numerex stockholders. Accordingly, you are urged to read and carefully consider the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus and submit your proxy by telephone or the Internet or complete, date, sign and promptly return the enclosed proxy in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you submit your proxy by telephone or the Internet, you do not need to return the enclosed proxy card.

Assistance

If you need assistance in completing your proxy card, have questions regarding the special meeting, or would like additional copies, without charge, of this proxy statement/prospectus, please contact Numerex’s proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, Inc., at 1-800-322-2885 (toll-free).

THE MERGER PROPOSAL

This section of this proxy statement/prospectus describes the various aspects of the merger and related matters. This section may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, including the full text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, for a more complete understanding of the merger. In addition, important business and financial information about each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless is included in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. For a listing of the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Transaction Structure

The merger agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time, Merger Sub, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless, will merge with and into Numerex. As a result, Numerex will survive the merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless. The terms and conditions of the merger are contained in the merger agreement, which is described in this proxy statement/prospectus and attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. You are encouraged to read the merger agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the merger. All descriptions in this summary and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus of the terms and conditions of the merger are qualified by reference to the merger agreement.

Merger Consideration

Under the terms of the merger agreement, if the merger is completed, each share of Numerex common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares of Numerex common stock owned directly by Sierra Wireless, Numerex or any of their respective subsidiaries) will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.1800 of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Sierra Wireless common share (which we refer to as the “merger consideration”).

Based on the number of shares of Numerex common stock outstanding as of October 27, 2017, Sierra Wireless will issue approximately 3,541,652 Sierra Wireless common shares to Numerex stockholders at the effective time pursuant to the merger agreement. The actual number of Sierra Wireless common shares to be issued pursuant to the merger agreement will be determined at the effective time based on the exchange ratio, the number of shares of Numerex common stock outstanding at such time and the number of Numerex stock options, other equity-based awards and warrants. Based on the number of shares of Numerex common stock outstanding as of October 27, 2017, and the number of Sierra Wireless common shares outstanding as of October 27, 2017, immediately after completion of the merger, former Numerex stockholders would own approximately 9.9% of the then outstanding Sierra Wireless common shares.

Based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM on August 1, 2017, the last full trading day before the announcement of the merger agreement, the per share value of Numerex common stock implied by the merger consideration was $5.34. Based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM on October 27, 2017, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the per share value of Numerex common stock implied by the merger consideration was $4.00. The implied value of the merger consideration will fluctuate, however, as the market price of Sierra Wireless common shares fluctuates, because the merger consideration that is payable per share of Numerex common stock is a fixed fraction of a Sierra Wireless common share. As a result, the value of the merger consideration that Numerex stockholders will receive upon the completion of the merger could be greater than, less than or the same as the value of the merger consideration on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or at the time of the special meeting. Accordingly, you are encouraged to obtain current stock price quotations for Numerex common stock and Sierra Wireless common shares before deciding how to vote with respect to the

37

approval of the merger agreement. Numerex common stock trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “NMRX” and Sierra Wireless common shares trade on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX under the ticker symbols “SWIR” and “SW,” respectively. The price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM is reported in U.S. dollars, while the price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the TSX is reported in Canadian dollars.

Background of the Merger

The Numerex board of directors, with the assistance of Numerex’s senior management and outside advisors, regularly reviews Numerex’s market opportunities and growth, operating results, capital needs and availability, and the strategic alternatives available to Numerex to maximize stockholder value. As part of these reviews, the Numerex board of directors has periodically considered whether the continued execution of Numerex’s business strategy as a standalone company or through a business combination with a third party would provide the best avenue to enhance stockholder value. Likewise, the Sierra Wireless board of directors and management has from time to time evaluated potential merger and acquisition strategies to enhance shareholder value through adding scale and capabilities to drive growth and profitability in key IoT markets.

In furtherance of these strategies, representatives of both Numerex and Sierra Wireless had periodically discussed the potential merits, at a high level, of a business combination. These discussions were conceptual in nature and did not extend beyond high-level discussions.

During July 2016, Marc Zionts, then Chief Executive Officer of Numerex, had preliminary discussions with two parties, whom we refer to as Party A and Party B, regarding a possible business combination transaction with Numerex. At a meeting of the Numerex board of directors on July 27, 2016, Mr. Zionts reported these discussions to the Numerex board of directors and noted that each party had indicated that it may send a written offer setting forth the terms of a proposed business combination with Numerex. Mr. Zionts also advised the Numerex board of directors that he and the EVP Corporate Development & COO of Party B had agreed to meet in person on August 22, 2016.

On August 1, 2016, Numerex received a non-binding offer from Party B offering to acquire Numerex for $11.00 per share in cash or a combination of stock and cash. The proposal did not include any details regarding how Party B would finance the transaction or the proposed allocation between stock and cash. With outside counsel participating, the Numerex board of directors held a telephonic meeting later that day to review Party B’s offer. At the meeting, the Numerex board of directors discussed whether to engage Deutsche Bank as Numerex’s financial advisor and whether to form a committee or working group of the Numerex board of directors to lead any process with respect to a potential business combination going forward and report to the full board. The Numerex board of directors considered Party B’s proposal to be incomplete in certain key respects, including the absence of any information regarding the availability of cash or financing to fund the transaction, but nonetheless thought it was worthwhile to explore the proposal further. Following internal discussion, the Numerex board of directors determined that Party B’s written offer, coupled with the preliminary and ongoing discussions with Party A, were sufficient reasons for Numerex to engage a financial advisor to assist the Numerex board of directors in its consideration of potential offers and review of other strategic alternatives available to Numerex, and that doing so would be in the interest of the Numerex stockholders. The Numerex board of directors decided to engage Deutsche Bank as Numerex’s financial advisor given Deutsche Bank’s experience in mergers and acquisitions and familiarity with Numerex and the industries in which it operates. The Numerex board of directors concluded that Deutsche Bank could assist management and the Numerex board of directors in its evaluation and negotiation of Party B’s offer and the seriousness of each of Party A’s and Party B’s interest in a potential transaction, Numerex’s assessment of the availability of financing sources to each such party, Numerex’s analysis of the financial terms of any offer, and its review of other strategic options that may be available to Numerex. Also at this meeting, outside legal counsel discussed the fiduciary duties of the Numerex board of directors under Pennsylvania law and reviewed the differences between the duties of directors under Pennsylvania law as compared to Delaware law.

38

After reviewing Party B’s offer, the Numerex board of directors directed management to negotiate an engagement letter with Deutsche Bank pursuant to which Deutsche Bank would provide advisory and investment banking services to Numerex in connection with its exploration of strategic alternatives. In addition, the Numerex board of directors appointed a working group consisting of Messrs. Holcombe, Singer, Nicolaides, and Ryan (which we refer to as the “Working Group”) to work with Mr. Zionts and Mr. Kenneth Gayron, Numerex’s Chief Financial Officer, in managing the process by which strategic options, including Party B’s offer, would be considered by Numerex and approaching other parties who might have an interest in a strategic transaction with Numerex. On August 2, 2016, representatives of Deutsche Bank participated in a call with Messrs. Zionts and Gayron to finalize the terms of Deutsche Bank’s engagement letter and to discuss the next steps to be taken.

Numerex’s management and the Working Group, with input from Deutsche Bank, initially identified 23 parties (including Party A, Party B, Sierra Wireless, and another party potentially interested in a business combination with Numerex discussed below, which we refer to as “Party D”) who were believed to be potentially interested in engaging in a strategic transaction with Numerex. These parties included potential buyers in the same or related business as Numerex and other potential buyers for which Numerex might be a strategic fit. Commencing on August 15, 2016, with the approval of the Working Group, representatives of Deutsche Bank had conversations with 25 parties, including the original 23 parties described above and two additional parties that reached out to Numerex or Deutsche Bank, including, in September 2016, another party potentially interested in a business combination with Numerex discussed below, which we refer to as “Party C.” In addition, the Working Group subsequently instructed representatives of Deutsche Bank to contact an additional six parties.

After consulting with the Working Group, representatives of Deutsche Bank met with or spoke by telephone on a confidential basis with representatives of 17 of these 31 parties, including Sierra Wireless on August 29, 2016. Six of these parties, including Party A, Party B, Party C, Party D and Sierra Wireless, would later enter into non-disclosure agreements with Numerex and receive a management presentation.

On August 24, 2016, representatives of Deutsche Bank met with Party B’s Chief Executive Officer in San Francisco, California. Party B’s Chief Executive Officer expressed strong support for a business combination transaction, but indicated that a transaction would be contingent on Party B’s ability to secure financing, which Party B had not yet started to seek or obtain.

On August 29, 2016, members of senior management of Numerex met with Party A and its representatives. Representatives of Deutsche Bank also spoke with representatives of Party A’s investment bankers. Thereafter, Party A did not submit a written offer, ultimately withdrew from the process in early September and ceased contact with Numerex regarding a potential transaction.

On September 6, 2016, Messrs. Zionts and Gayron and other members of senior management of Numerex held a management presentation with senior management of Party B, including Party B’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Corporate Development. A representative of Deutsche Bank was also present.

In response to Deutsche Bank’s initial outreach on August 29, 2016, Sierra Wireless expressed an interest in learning more about Numerex. Mr. Zionts and Mr. Gayron met at an industry trade show with Jason Cohenour, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sierra Wireless on September 6, 2016. On September 9, 2016 Sierra Wireless and Numerex entered into a non-disclosure agreement and Numerex provided Sierra Wireless with an overview of Numerex, including products, markets served, operations and certain financial metrics. This was followed on September 10, 2016 with access to a dataroom containing additional information on Numerex, including more detailed financial information.

Numerex and Sierra Wireless next scheduled a management presentation that took place on September 15, 2016 in Chicago with both companys’ CEOs in attendance. Representatives of Deutsche Bank and RBC Capital Markets, Sierra Wireless’ financial advisor (which we refer to as “RBC”) also attended the management presentation.

39

In early September 2016, a representative of Party C had a conversation with Numerex’s Chief Marketing Officer during which Party C asked whether Numerex would be interested in exploring a potential business combination. Numerex’s Chief Marketing Officer reported this conversation to Mr. Zionts, and Mr. Zionts advised Deutsche Bank of Party C’s potential interest. On September 14, 2016, Mr. Zionts spoke with the Chief Executive Officer of Party C and, at Mr. Zionts direction, representatives of Deutsche Bank contacted Party C’s Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategic Finance. Party C expressed an interest in pursuing a transaction and indicated that it was confident in its ability to move quickly and to obtain any necessary financing for a transaction.    After advising the Numerex board of directors, Mr. Zionts invited Party C to participate in the strategic review process.    After Party C entered into a non-disclosure agreement, representatives of Party C attended a management presentation and conducted due diligence on September 20 and 21, 2016.

On September 21, 2016, Sierra Wireless submitted a non-binding proposal of $60 to $80 million in cash to acquire certain assets of Numerex’s business. Following receipt of this proposal, representatives of Deutsche Bank worked with Numerex management to assess the offer. Following a telephonic meeting of the Working Group on September 23, 2016, at which members of senior management and representatives of Deutsche Bank were present, at the direction of the Working Group, a representative of Deutsche Bank advised RBC on September 24, 2016 that Sierra Wireless’ offer was inadequate.

Between September 23 and September 30, 2016, Numerex responded to Party C’s requests for additional due diligence information.

On September 28, 2016, Sierra Wireless increased the consideration in its non-binding proposal to acquire certain assets to $80 to $90 million in cash.

On October 3, 2016, Party C submitted an offer to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Numerex for a combination of cash and Party C common stock in the range of $8.00 to $9.00 per share. From October 3 to October 5, 2016, the Working Group convened several times, with representatives of Deutsche Bank and outside counsel participating, to discuss Party C’s offer and, with the assistance of Deutsche Bank and outside legal counsel, negotiated the terms of the offer with Party C and its financial advisor. The Working Group instructed Deutsche Bank to reach out to Party C to negotiate a higher offer price. On October 5, 2016, Party C submitted what it described as a “best and final” offer of $9.50 per share of Numerex common stock. As a condition to its willingness to proceed, Party C indicated that it would require Numerex to enter into an exclusivity agreement.

The Working Group conferred with representatives of Deutsche Bank later that day regarding the status of the strategic review process and recommended calling a meeting of the Numerex board of directors to consider Party C’s proposal. At a meeting of the Numerex board of directors on October 6, 2016, at which representatives of Deutsche Bank and outside legal counsel were present, the Numerex board of directors reviewed the status of the strategic review process, including the status of discussions with Party B, Party C’s offer, and Sierra Wireless’ offer to acquire only certain assets. The Numerex board of directors discussed that Party C’s offer provided more value to Numerex’s stockholders than a sale of only certain assets to Sierra Wireless. The Numerex board of directors then instructed Deutsche Bank to approach Party B again but, if Party B did not present a revised offer or provide more certainty with respect to Party B’s ability to obtain financing, authorized Numerex’s Chief Executive Officer to sign an exclusivity agreement for a limited time with Party C to allow Party C to complete its due diligence and to negotiate a definitive merger agreement with Numerex. As a result, the Numerex board of directors instructed Deutsche Bank to inform Sierra Wireless that Numerex was not interested in selling only certain of its assets. At this point, Sierra Wireless decided to not pursue the opportunity any further.

After not receiving any further information from Party B, Numerex’s management and outside legal counsel negotiated the terms of an exclusivity agreement with Party C. On October 7, 2016, Mr. Zionts executed an exclusivity agreement with Party C granting Party C exclusivity through October 25, 2016, with an automatic

40

extension until November 9, 2016 if Party C confirmed the proposed price and provided a draft of a merger agreement prior to October 25, 2016. Later on October 7, 2016, Party B submitted a revised offer of $9.00 to $10.00 per share in cash, but indicated that it could not provide assurance to Numerex regarding its ability to obtain sufficient financing to complete the transaction. On October 8, 2016, in accordance with the terms of the exclusivity agreement, after consulting with the Working Group and Numerex’s outside counsel, at the direction of the Working Group, a representative of Deutsche Bank advised Party C of the receipt of Party B’s proposal.

On October 8, 2016, Mr. Zionts asked outside legal counsel to provide the Numerex board of directors with an outline of the steps to be taken in response to Party B’s revised offer. In addition to the financing contingency, outside legal counsel highlighted that Party B’s offer was less than its previous offer, required a 90-day exclusivity period, and raised questions about Party B’s ability to execute a transaction successfully. The Numerex board of directors, in consultation with its outside legal counsel, determined not to move forward with Party B in light of the uncertainties surrounding its revised offer and, at the Numerex board of directors’ instruction, a representative of Deutsche Bank informed Party B on October 10, 2016 that Numerex would not respond or engage in further discussions regarding the current offer. Party B did not submit any additional proposals to Numerex, and Numerex considered the offer to be withdrawn.

Between October 8, 2016 and October 28, 2016, Party C conducted extensive business and legal due diligence, and senior management of Numerex and Party C met to discuss Numerex’s current business plans and future strategies. During that same time period, Party C’s and Numerex’s legal counsel, in consultation with Deutsche Bank and Numerex senior management, were negotiating the terms of a definitive merger agreement. On October 24, 2016, Party C notified Numerex that it had satisfied the conditions of the exclusivity agreement and thus the exclusivity period was automatically extended to 11:59 p.m. on November 7, 2016. On October 28, 2016, Party C’s Chief Executive Officer called Mr. Zionts to inform Numerex that Party C was no longer interested in moving forward with a potential transaction. Party C’s financial advisor also contacted a representative of Deutsche Bank to convey the same message. Party C’s financial advisor advised a representative of Deutsche Bank that, among other things, Party C was not comfortable with Numerex’s business plan.

Following termination of the negotiations with Party C, the Numerex board of directors instructed management to focus on improving Numerex’s operating results and financial condition. In addition, following that meeting, the Numerex board of directors authorized a series of cost reduction initiatives.

In early October, a representative of Party D approached a member of the Working Group to express an interest in exploring a potential transaction with Numerex. Following this discussion, Mr. Zionts and the director spoke with representatives of Deutsche Bank and outside legal counsel and instructed them to negotiate a non-disclosure agreement with Party D. Following execution of the non-disclosure agreement, Mr. Zionts met with a representative of Party D. In late November 2016, a representative of Party D informed a representative of Deutsche Bank and the same member of the Working Group that Party D did not intend to proceed with a transaction as Party D did not see a compelling strategic fit.

On January 10, 2017, the Numerex board of directors terminated the employment of Mr. Zionts and appointed Mr. Gayron as Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Kelly Gay as Chief Operating Officer. On January 16, 2017, following the Numerex announcement on January 11, 2017 of changes to its senior leadership, Jason Cohenour, Sierra Wireless’ CEO contacted Stratton Nicolaides, the Chairman of Numerex’s board of directors, to arrange a call. This call occurred on January 26, 2017 and the parties discussed Sierra Wireless’ interest in reengaging in discussions with Numerex regarding a possible transaction. In a follow-up conversation the next day, the parties agreed to arrange an additional meeting among a small number of representatives from each company.

During this time, Numerex had also begun to experience difficulties in meeting certain financial covenants under its existing $17 million term loan facility with Crystal Financial LLC (which we refer to as “Crystal”), and Numerex management had begun the process of seeking a new lender to refinance the Crystal

41

loan. Beginning in early February 2017, Numerex management had been engaged in active negotiations to refinance the Crystal loan. On March 14, 2017, the potential new lender informed Numerex management that it determined not to complete the financing. The closing of the financing had been scheduled for March 15, 2017.

Absent a waiver, amendment or refinancing of the Crystal loan, Numerex would not have been in compliance with certain covenants, including financial covenants, in its loan agreement. As a result, absent a waiver, amendment or refinancing of the Crystal loan prior to filing its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2016, Numerex management concluded that it would have been required to reclassify its long-term debt as a current liability as of December 31, 2016.

The Numerex board of directors directed management to explore options to restructure Numerex’s senior indebtedness, obtain alternative financing or an additional equity infusion or some combination of these measures with its existing and potential financing sources. At this time, management contacted Crystal to seek a waiver of the existing events of default under the Crystal loan agreement, informed Numerex’s independent accountants of the development, and filed a notification of a late filing for its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2016 with the SEC to extend the filing deadline until March 31, 2017.

Crystal agreed to grant a waiver of some of the covenants under the Crystal loan subject to certain conditions. Crystal required, among other things, a $5 million prepayment of the loan and amendments to the loan agreement to provide for, among other things, (i) an additional $2 million prepayment if Numerex had not entered into a definitive agreement with respect to a merger or sale transaction by June 1, 2017 (which date was later extended to June 7, 2017), and (ii) a requirement to retain an investment banker if an agreement relating to a sale of Numerex or a refinancing of the Crystal loan had not been entered into by June 1, 2017 (which date was later extended to June 7, 2017).

On March 14 and March 15, 2017, the Numerex board of directors held a telephonic meeting to review the status of negotiations with Crystal and to discuss possible alternatives for funding the $5 million prepayment to Crystal, including the advisability of seeking additional capital. The Numerex board of directors considered re-engaging with other lenders to refinance the balance of the Crystal loan, raising capital through a sale of common stock (including a significant commitment from board members to participate in any such capital raise) or convertible securities, or issuing debt subordinated to the Crystal loan. On March 16, 2017, the Numerex board of directors convened another telephonic meeting. At the invitation of the Numerex board of directors, Numerex’s Pennsylvania legal counsel addressed the fiduciary duties of a board of directors under Pennsylvania law in connection with raising capital, a change in control transaction, and other scenarios. Specifically, Pennsylvania legal counsel focused on the differences in the fiduciary duty standards applicable to the Numerex board of directors under Pennsylvania law as compared to those of a board of directors of a corporation incorporated under Delaware law. Pennsylvania counsel also discussed the Numerex board of directors’ fiduciary duties in connection with evaluating financing alternatives, including those involving the participation of directors and executive officers in an equity offering.

At the Numerex board of directors meeting held on March 17, 2017, Brian Igoe, a Numerex director and Chief Investment Officer of the Rainin Group, Inc., advised the Numerex board of directors that he believed that the Kenneth Rainin Foundation (which we refer to as “KRF”) might have an interest in providing a $5 million senior subordinated loan to Numerex to satisfy the required prepayment to Crystal. The Numerex board of directors asked that Mr. Igoe prepare a term sheet outlining the terms of the proposed loan for consideration.

On March 15, 2017, Deutsche Bank provided Sierra Wireless with a document that included a business update focusing on Numerex’s near-term financial performance. On March 17, 2017, Sierra Wireless contacted Numerex to again resume discussions regarding Sierra Wireless’ strategic interest in potentially acquiring Numerex. On that same day, management from both companies and their respective advisors reviewed the business update material on a conference call. On March 21, 2017, in response to questions from representatives of Sierra Wireless, Numerex provided additional information.

On March 23, 2017, Sierra Wireless submitted a non-binding offer to the Numerex board of directors with respect to a possible combination of the two companies. Sierra Wireless’ offer noted that while its initial interest was primarily limited to certain assets of Numerex’s business, Sierra Wireless’ thinking had evolved to include the entire Numerex business. Sierra Wireless’ initial indicative offer was to acquire all of Numerex’s outstanding shares of common stock for the consideration of 0.2063 of a common share of Sierra Wireless per share of Numerex common stock, which implied a purchase price of $6.20 per share of Numerex common stock based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless common shares on March 23, 2017 and a 28% premium to the 20-day volume weighted average price of Numerex’s common stock on that date.

On March 23, 2017, the Numerex board of directors considered a term sheet from KRF outlining the terms of a proposed $5 million dollar senior subordinated note, which included a commitment to fund by March 30, 2017. The Numerex board of directors considered that an equity offering of common stock or convertible securities would be dilutive to existing stockholders and might not raise $5 million. The Numerex board of directors also considered approaching other possible lenders to refinance all or part of the Crystal loan, but concluded that negotiating new loan agreements would take several weeks.

On March 24, 2017, the Numerex board of directors held a telephonic board meeting, with representatives of Deutsche Bank, senior management and outside legal counsel participating. A representative of Deutsche Bank reviewed the financial terms of the Sierra Wireless offer. The Numerex board of directors discussed with Deutsche Bank and outside legal counsel the nature and extent of the process that would be necessary to validate the terms of the offer taking into account, among other things, that Numerex had recently conducted an extensive search in connection with evaluating other offers and the Numerex board of directors’ fiduciary duties under Pennsylvania law. Taking into account the views of Deutsche Bank and its outside legal counsel, the Numerex board of directors concluded that while it was not necessary to conduct another wide-ranging market check, Deutsche Bank should approach two parties, including Party C, to see whether any of them had an interest in making an offer to acquire Numerex at this time. Neither of such parties submitted an offer to acquire Numerex in response to the outreach from Deutsche Bank. In the course of this discussion, the Numerex board of directors discussed with Deutsche Bank and outside legal counsel the fact that the market price for Numerex’s common stock had been adversely affected in light of recent events and determined that Deutsche Bank should contact RBC, Sierra Wireless’ financial advisor, to seek to negotiate a higher offer price in light of recent trading price ranges, the restructuring initiatives to improve Numerex’s financial condition, and the anticipated synergies of a combination. The Numerex board of directors also authorized Deutsche Bank to offer Sierra Wireless a period of exclusivity if it increased its offer price. Following the March 24, 2017 meeting of the Numerex board of directors, a representative of Deutsche Bank contacted RBC and asked that Sierra Wireless consider increasing its offer price in light of the factors described above in exchange for Numerex agreeing to an exclusivity period. A similar call took place on March 29, 2017 between Sierra Wireless’ Chief Executive Officer and Numerex’s Chairman.

On March 30, 2017, the Numerex board of directors, after reviewing the term sheets that had been provided to Numerex by other potential lenders earlier in the year when Numerex was looking for a new lender to refinance the Crystal loan, concluded that the proposed $5 million senior subordinated loan from KRF presented the highest likelihood of success and was the best alternative available to Numerex and its stockholders. Mr. Igoe did not participate in the negotiation of the terms or the Numerex board of directors’ deliberations with respect the senior subordinated promissory note.

On March 31, 2017, Numerex completed the $5 million prepayment of the Crystal loan with the proceeds of the KRF senior subordinated promissory note. In addition, Mr. Igoe joined the Working Group.

In the meantime, Numerex continued to seek a new lender to refinance the remaining $12 million Crystal loan, and began discussions with Hale Capital Partners LP (which we refer to as “Hale Capital”) in late March 2017. Around this time, as discussed further below, Sierra Wireless had resumed its discussions with Numerex, and the Numerex board of directors determined that, in light of Numerex’s obligations under the

43

amendment to the Crystal loan agreement entered into in connection with Crystal’s waiver of certain events of default, it was in the best interest of Numerex to proceed on the dual path of negotiating the terms of a new financing facility with Hale Capital and continuing the discussions with Sierra Wireless regarding a potential transaction.

On April 10, 2017, Sierra Wireless submitted a revised non-binding offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Numerex for the consideration of 0.2586 of a common share of Sierra Wireless for each share of Numerex common stock, which implied a purchase price of $6.75 per share of Numerex common stock based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless common shares on April 7, 2017 and a 47% premium to the 20-day volume weighted average price of Numerex’s common stock on that date. In connection with its offer, Sierra Wireless indicated that it would require Numerex to enter into an exclusivity arrangement that would extend until June 9, 2017. The offer also did not address whether Numerex would be permitted to conduct reverse due diligence on Sierra Wireless. On April 11, 2017, the Numerex board of directors convened a telephonic board meeting, with representatives of Deutsche Bank and legal counsel, to consider Sierra Wireless’ revised offer. A Deutsche Bank representative compared the revised offer to Sierra Wireless’ original offer. The Numerex board of directors requested that Numerex management review and prepare a counter-offer, with the assistance of Deutsche Bank and outside legal counsel, to remove certain proposed closing conditions, to clarify that Numerex would conduct due diligence on Sierra Wireless, and to limit exclusivity to 30 days with an automatic 15-day extension if Sierra Wireless was working in good faith to reach agreement on the terms set forth in the counter-offer. On April 13, 2017, Deutsche Bank sent the proposed counter-offer to RBC.

In response to Numerex’s proposed changes to the offer and Deutsche Bank’s discussions with RBC, on April 20, 2017, Sierra Wireless delivered a revised offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Numerex for the consideration of 0.2586 of a common share of Sierra Wireless for each share of Numerex common stock, which implied a purchase price of $6.75 per share of Numerex common stock based on the closing price per share of Sierra Wireless on April 7, 2017. The Numerex board of directors met telephonically on April 21, 2017 with its legal and financial advisors to review the revised offer. Following the discussion, the Numerex board of directors approved the revised offer and authorized Mr. Gayron to countersign it on behalf of Numerex.

On April 24, 2017, Numerex signed Sierra Wireless’ non-binding offer. On that same day, at the request of Numerex management, Numerex’s outside legal counsel began drafting a merger agreement. In May 2017, Numerex engaged Canadian legal counsel. Canadian counsel reviewed drafts of the merger agreement for issues arising under Canadian law. In addition, Canadian counsel evaluated the need for any Canadian regulatory approvals.

From April 25 to June 8, 2017, Sierra Wireless conducted business, financial and legal due diligence on Numerex, including management meetings between Messrs. Cohenour, McLennan (Sierra Wireless’ CFO) and Gayron and Ms. Gay. A two-day diligence session was held in Atlanta on May 15 and May 16, 2017 at which Numerex management presented detailed information about Numerex’s business and product lines, market trends, historical and projected financials, organizational structure, potential merger synergies and other operating areas of Numerex’s business to Sierra Wireless management and RBC.

On May 23, 2017, prior to the expiry of the exclusivity period on May 24, 2017, RBC provided an update to Deutsche Bank with regard to due diligence findings and consequently, valuation concerns that would result in Sierra Wireless no longer being able to agree to the exchange ratio indicated in the non-binding offer letter signed on April 24, 2017.

On June 7, 2017, in light of Numerex’s obligations under the amendment to the Crystal loan agreement, Numerex entered into a note purchase agreement with HCP-FVF, LLC, an affiliate of Hale Capital, as collateral agent and as purchaser, pursuant to which Numerex issued to HCP-FVF, LLC senior secured promissory notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $13.5 million, the proceeds of which were used to repay the outstanding Crystal loan. In connection with its agreement to provide such financing to Numerex, Hale

44

Capital required that Numerex issue to HCP-FVF, LLC detachable warrants to purchase up to 895,944 shares of Numerex common stock (subject to adjustment), which warrants were issued with an exercise price equal to $4.14 per share.

On June 8, 2017, Sierra Wireless sent a revised non-binding proposal to the Numerex board of directors. Citing the results of its due diligence to date, Sierra Wireless now proposed to acquire all of Numerex’s outstanding common shares for the consideration of 0.1846 of a common share of Sierra Wireless for each share of Numerex common stock, which implied, based on the 5-day volume weighted average share price of Sierra Wireless shares ending June 8, 2017, a purchase price of $5.50 per each share of Numerex common stock and a 32% premium to the 20-day volume weighted average price of Numerex’s common stock on that date. At a telephonic meeting of the Numerex board of directors on June 9, 2017, in which representatives of Deutsche Bank and outside counsel participated, representatives of Deutsche Bank reviewed with the Numerex board of directors the financial terms of the current Sierra Wireless offer and advised the Numerex board of directors that Sierra Wireless had requested additional time to complete business and commercial due diligence and to consider various legal matters, tax considerations and structuring. The Numerex board of directors authorized management to proceed, but proposed to limit the exclusivity period to June 30, 2017, without any further extensions. On June 13, 2017, Numerex’s outside legal counsel delivered a draft of the merger agreement to Sierra Wireless’ legal counsel.

On June 22, 2017, Messrs. Singer, and Gayron and Ms. Gay met with representatives of senior management of Sierra Wireless, including Messrs. Cohenour and McLennan, to conduct reverse due diligence on Sierra Wireless. Representatives of Deutsche Bank and RBC were also present at this meeting. At the meeting, Messrs. Cohenour and McLennan reviewed Sierra Wireless’ business and product lines, market trends, competitive landscape, organizational matters, business model, financial results, and analyst expectations. At this meeting, Mr. Gayron provided an update regarding Numerex’s expected second quarter financial results for fiscal 2017 and an outlook for the balance of the year.

On June 23, 2017, a representative of RBC contacted a representative of Deutsche Bank and informed him that Sierra Wireless was suspending work on the transaction pending a Sierra Wireless board of directors meeting scheduled for June 28, 2017 at which it would decide whether to move forward with the transaction. RBC indicated that Sierra Wireless was concerned about Numerex’s financial performance during the second quarter and its ability to meet its business plan for 2017 and beyond.

On June 26, 2017, the Numerex board of directors held a telephonic meeting, with representatives of Deutsche Bank and outside legal counsel present, to discuss the status of the transaction. Representatives of Deutsche Bank explained the concerns that had been relayed by RBC. At that meeting, the Numerex board of directors agreed that Mr. Singer should contact Kent Thexton, the Chairman of Sierra Wireless’ board of directors, to explore Sierra Wireless’ continued commitment to a transaction with Numerex. On June 27, 2017, Mr. Singer and Mr. Thexton spoke by telephone. After the Sierra Wireless board of directors meeting on June 28, 2017, RBC contacted Deutsche Bank and indicated that Sierra Wireless’ management and board of directors were still deliberating the merits of the transaction and that Mr. Thexton would contact Mr. Singer over that upcoming weekend to discuss their decision and any potential next steps. Representatives of Deutsche Bank updated the Working Group regarding the information relayed by RBC.

On July 2, 2017, Mr. Thexton telephoned Mr. Singer and confirmed Sierra Wireless’ commitment to completing the transaction. Mr. Thexton also requested certain additional diligence information.

Between July 12 and July 17, 2017, Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ senior management teams continued to discuss certain diligence issues, including Numerex’s second-half business forecasts. At the same time, outside legal counsel to each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless continued to exchange drafts of the merger agreement and disclosure schedules. In addition, such outside legal counsel respectively analyzed regulatory issues such as required Hart-Scott-Rodino Act filings and any requirements imposed by Canadian or

45

U.S. telecommunications laws or regulations. Also during this time period, Mr. Singer had periodic calls with Mr. Thexton to discuss the status of the negotiations and resolve open items.

On July 20, 2017, certain directors, members of senior management, and outside legal counsel of each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless held a call to address Sierra Wireless’ remaining due diligence questions.

On July 21, 2017, Sierra Wireless’ legal counsel provided drafts of voting support agreements that it would seek from certain members of the Numerex board of directors and certain of its significant stockholders. Numerex’s outside legal counsel reviewed these drafts, provided comments and conferred with Pennsylvania counsel regarding the ability of a potential buyer to use voting agreements to aggregate votes for a transaction. On July 26, 2017, Sierra Wireless’ legal counsel delivered revised drafts of voting support agreements that were provided to the significant stockholders for review. Thereafter, representatives of each of Sierra Wireless and the significant stockholders continued to negotiate and finalize the terms of the voting agreements.

As discussed above, in connection with the Hale Capital financing, Numerex had issued a warrant to Hale Capital to purchase up to 895,944 shares of Numerex common stock (subject to adjustment). Under the terms of that warrant, in conjunction with a fundamental transaction such as the proposed merger, the acquiring corporation could assume the obligations under the warrant or Hale Capital could elect to participate in the transaction as if it had exercised the warrant or Hale Capital could require that Numerex purchase the warrant based on a formula specified in the warrant. That formula would result in a purchase price that would float until the closing of the merger.

On July 26, 2017, legal counsel for each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless held a telephone call to discuss the terms of the Hale Capital warrant. Numerex’s legal counsel suggested that Sierra Wireless consider issuing warrants to purchase Sierra Wireless common shares in exchange for the Hale Capital warrant. Sierra Wireless declined to issue such warrants and maintained its position as per the original proposal that the Hale Capital warrant be exercised into Numerex common stock. Numerex’s outside legal counsel reported Sierra Wireless’ position to members of Numerex senior management, representatives of Deutsche Bank, Mr. Singer, and Mr. Igoe.

On July 27, 2017, Numerex’s outside legal counsel again contacted Sierra Wireless’ legal counsel, and advised them that Numerex had been informed by Hale’s legal counsel that, after discussion with Hale Capital’s investment committee, Hale Capital would not be willing to exercise the warrant (or have it deemed exercised), and wanted to exercise its buy-out right.

On July 28, 2017, after speaking with a principal at Hale Capital, Mr. Igoe reported to the Working Group, representatives of Deutsche Bank and Numerex’s outside legal counsel that Hale Capital had agreed to a fixed buy-out price of $4.0 million for the warrant. Following this discussion, a representative of Deutsche Bank advised a representative of RBC regarding Hale Capital’s proposal.

Shortly thereafter, a representative of RBC advised a representative of Deutsche Bank that Sierra Wireless expressed serious concern regarding the additional costs associated with the Hale Capital warrant and was reconsidering whether it wanted to proceed with the transaction. The Working Group then spoke by telephone with representatives of Deutsche Bank and Numerex’s outside legal counsel and determined that the best way to proceed with the transaction was to modify the exchange ratio to compensate Sierra Wireless for the additional cost to be incurred in connection with the purchase of the Hale Capital warrant and instructed Deutsche Bank to speak with RBC to convey this proposal. In addition, Mr. Singer contacted Mr. Thexton to convey the same message.

Following this discussion, in accordance with such direction, a representative of Deutsche Bank advised RBC of this development and discussed the implications of the additional expense to the proposed exchange ratio. During their conversation, representatives of Deutsche Bank and RBC determined that the incremental cost translated to a reduction in the exchange ratio by 0.0046.

46

At a meeting of the full Numerex board of directors on July 31, 2017, a representative of Deutsche Bank compared Sierra Wireless’ prior offer and its revised offer, noting that the reduction in the exchange ratio from 0.1846 to 0.1800 reduced the implied value of the offer price by approximately $0.14 per share of Numerex common stock based on the closing price of a Sierra Wireless common share on July 28, 2017, and compared certain financial metrics of this implied value with similar metrics for certain selected companies and transactions. Following discussion, the Numerex board of directors approved moving forward with a transaction with Sierra Wireless at the reduced exchange ratio of 0.1800 of a common share of Sierra Wireless per share of Numerex common stock.

On August 1, 2017, Messrs. Cohenour and McLennan provided Messrs. Gayron and Singer with an update on Sierra Wireless financial matters. On August 2, 2017, the Numerex board of directors convened to review the final terms of the merger agreement and voting agreements, copies of which had been provided to the Numerex board of directors prior to the meeting. Representatives of Deutsche Bank and Numerex’s outside legal counsel participated in the meeting.

At the meeting, representatives of Deutsche Bank reviewed and discussed with the Numerex board of directors certain financial analyses with respect to the exchange ratio of 0.1800 of a Sierra Wireless common share per share of Numerex common stock and rendered an oral opinion to the Numerex board of directors, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated August 2, 2017, to the effect that as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations, qualifications and conditions on the review undertaken in connection therewith, as described in Deutsche Bank’s opinion, the exchange ratio of 0.1800 of a Sierra Wireless common share per share of Numerex common stock was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Numerex common stock (other than Sierra Wireless and its affiliates). A copy of such opinion is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Representatives of Numerex’s outside legal counsel then reviewed the terms of the final merger agreement with the members of the Numerex board of directors and also discussed the final voting agreements that would be entered into with Messrs. Nicolaides, Holcombe, and Ryan, as well as two significant stockholders of Numerex. Following consideration of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the Numerex board of directors unanimously: (i) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; (ii) determined that the terms of the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Numerex and to its stockholders; (iii) authorized and approved the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; and (iv) recommended that Numerex stockholders adopt the merger agreement at a special meeting of holders of Numerex common stock to be duly called and held for such purpose.

In the afternoon of August 2, 2017, after market close, Sierra Wireless issued a press release announcing the merger agreement.

Sierra Wireless’ Reasons for the Merger

At its meeting held on August 2, 2017, after due consideration and consultation with Sierra Wireless’ management and outside legal and financial advisors, the Sierra Wireless board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In doing so, the Sierra Wireless board of directors re-confirmed the strategic considerations underlying the acquisition of Numerex, including the following:

• adding significant scale to Sierra Wireless’ base of recurring services revenue;

• combining Numerex and Sierra Wireless’ strong business and technology platforms to drive global IoT services;

• enhancing Sierra Wireless’ business model by increasing recurring and mix of higher gross margin revenue;

• expanding Sierra Wireless’ subscriber base in the United States;

• increasing the scope of North America carrier agreements in place;

• expanding sales and support capacity in the organization; and

• further solidifying Sierra Wireless as a leader in device-to-cloud solutions for the IoT.

In making its determination, the Sierra Wireless board of directors considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

• the expectation that the merger will be accretive to earnings per share for Sierra Wireless shareholders once anticipated efficiencies and growth are fully realized;

• the availability of other targets for strategic acquisitions, including potential targets with quality IoT capabilities;

• the integration plan for Numerex within the Cloud & Connectivity Services business unit of Sierra Wireless;

• synergy opportunities, balanced with the expectation that some investment will be required to enhance certain operating capabilities;

• strategic Mobile Network Operator relationships;

• leveraging other Sierra Wireless business units and corporate functions to improve the business model;

• the expansion of Sierra Wireless’ sales and channel capacity;

• the Sierra Wireless board of directors’ understanding of Numerex’s business, assets, financial condition and results of operations, competitive position and historical and projected financial performance;

• the fact that legal, accounting and financial due diligence was conducted with respect to Numerex’s operations and its corporate and financial matters;

• favorable terms of the merger agreement, including:

48

• a balanced valuation with the merger consideration reflecting the value of the Numerex business and accounting for recent performance and the need to invest in Numerex’s business in order to return it to growth;

• support for the transaction by key Numerex stockholders;

• the fact that the exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for fluctuations in the market price of Sierra Wireless common shares or Numerex common stock;

• restrictions on Numerex’s ability to solicit alternative business combination transactions and to provide confidential due diligence information to, or engage in discussions with, a third party interested in pursuing an alternative business combinations transaction with Numerex, as further discussed in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—No-Solicitation”; and

• the obligation of Numerex to pay Sierra Wireless a termination fee of approximately $4,012,500 upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, as further discussed in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement”; and

• the probability that the conditions to the merger will be satisfied.

In connection with its deliberations relating to the merger, the Sierra Wireless board of directors also considered potential risks and negative factors concerning the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including, but not limited to, the following:

• the risks associated with the closing conditions of the merger, including the risk that the merger might not be completed in a timely manner or at all;

• the potential distraction to Sierra Wireless’ current business and specific initiatives;

• the difficulties and management challenges inherent in integrating the business, operations and workforce of Numerex with those of Sierra Wireless;

• the difficulties and management challenges inherent in returning the Numerex business to profitable growth;

• Sierra Wireless’ assessment of the achievability of Numerex’s financial projections, including those described under “The Merger Proposal – Numerex Unaudited Prospective Financial Information,” and its expectation that the merger will not be accretive to earnings per share until approximately 12 months after the closing, assuming efficiencies and anticipated growth are fully realized;

• the effect that the length of time from announcement until closing could have on the market price of Sierra Wireless common shares, Sierra Wireless’ operating results (particularly in light of the significant costs incurred in connection with the merger) and the relationships with Sierra Wireless’ employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, regulators, partners and others that do business with Sierra Wireless;

• the risk that the anticipated benefits of the merger will not be realized in full or in part, including the risk that expected synergies, expected growth and expected cost savings will not be achieved or not achieved in the expected time frame;

• the risk of diverting the attention of Sierra Wireless’ senior management from other strategic priorities to implement the merger and make arrangements for integration of Sierra Wireless’ and Numerex’s operations and infrastructure following the merger;

• the potential impact on the market price of Sierra Wireless common shares as a result of the issuance of the merger consideration to Numerex stockholders;

• risks associated with managing the technology transitions; and

• the risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

49

After consideration of these factors the Sierra Wireless board of directors determined that, overall, the potential benefits of the merger outweighed the potential risks.

The foregoing discussion of factors considered by the Sierra Wireless board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material information and factors considered by the Sierra Wireless board of directors in its consideration of the merger and the merger agreement. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, the Sierra Wireless board of directors did not attempt to quantify, rank or otherwise assign any relative or specific weights to the factors that it considered in reaching its determination to approve the merger and the merger agreement. In addition, individual members of the Sierra Wireless board of directors may have given differing weights to different factors. The Sierra Wireless board of directors conducted an overall review of the factors described above and other material factors, including through discussions with, and inquiry of, Sierra Wireless’ management and outside legal and financial advisors.

The foregoing description of Sierra Wireless’ consideration of the factors supporting the merger is forward-looking in nature. This information should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Numerex’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Numerex Board of Directors

At its meeting held on August 2, 2017, after due consideration and consultation with Numerex’s management and outside legal and financial advisors, the Numerex board of directors unanimously determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement were fair to, and in the best interests of, Numerex and its stockholders and approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. THE NUMEREX BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT NUMEREX STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT.

In evaluating the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, the Numerex board of directors consulted with senior management, as well as Deutsche Bank and Numerex’s external legal counsel. In the course of making the determination that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are fair to and in the best interests of Numerex and its stockholders and to recommend that Numerex’s stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, the Numerex board of directors considered numerous factors, including the following non-exhaustive list of factors and benefits of the merger, each of which the Numerex board of directors believed supported its unanimous determination and recommendation:

• Business and Financial Condition of Numerex. The Numerex board of directors considered Numerex’s business, financial condition, results of operations, competitive position, properties, assets and prospects as well as its long-term plan. The Numerex board of directors considered, among other factors that the holders of Numerex common stock would continue to be subject to the risks and uncertainties of Numerex executing on its long-term plan if it remained independent. These risks and uncertainties included risks relating to Numerex’s ability to identify sources and obtain additional debt or equity financing, and other risks inherent in its long-term plan. The Numerex board of directors considered Numerex’s need for, and availability on acceptable terms or at all, of additional funding and assessed potential cost-cutting measures that would be necessary to continue operating as a standalone company. The Numerex board of directors weighed the substantial risk and uncertainty associated with remaining a stand-alone entity, as compared to the benefit of combining with Sierra Wireless and the greater resources, capabilities and financial stability offered from such a combination.

• Strength of the Combined Company. The Numerex board of directors considered the benefits from the expected strength of the combined company, including the complementary nature of Sierra Wireless’ business and operations, culture and product mix, strategic focus, target markets and client service, and

50

the expanded possibilities, including organic growth and future acquisitions, that would be available to the combined company, given its larger size, product offerings and footprint. The Numerex board also considered the fact that merger would enable the Numerex stockholders, who will own approximately 10% of the combined company, to participate in the future earnings and growth of the combined company.

• Strategic Alternatives. The Numerex board of directors considered its belief, especially in view of the results of the solicitation of interest from other strategic partners, that the value offered by Sierra Wireless to holders of Numerex common stock in the merger was more favorable to holders of Numerex common stock than the potential value of remaining an independent public company.

• Merger Consideration. The Numerex board of directors considered the fact that the merger consideration represented, on a pro forma basis, ownership by Numerex stockholders of approximately 10% of the combined company following the consummation of the merger. The Numerex board also considered that, at the time of approving the transaction, the fact that the exchange ratio of 0.1800 represented a premium of approximately 17.5% to Numerex’s volume weighted average share price for the 20 trading day period ending August 1, 2017. The Numerex board of directors also concluded that, in its view, it had obtained Sierra Wireless’ best and final offer, and that, as of the date of the merger agreement, the merger consideration represented the highest consideration reasonably obtainable.

• Deutsche Bank’s Fairness Opinion and Related Analyses. The Numerex board of directors considered Deutsche Bank’s financial analysis with respect to the exchange ratio of 0.1800 of a Sierra Wireless common share per share of Numerex common stock and the oral opinion to the Numerex board of directors, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated August 2, 2017, to the effect that as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations, qualifications and conditions on the review undertaken in connection therewith, as described in Deutsche Bank’s opinion, the exchange ratio of 0.1800 of a Sierra Wireless common share per share of Numerex common stock was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Numerex common stock (other than Sierra Wireless and its affiliates).

• Fixed Exchange Ratio. The Numerex board considered the fact that the exchange ratio is fixed, which the Numerex board of directors believed was consistent with market practice for transactions of this type and with the strategic purpose of the transaction.

• Limited Potentially Interested Counterparties. The Numerex board of directors considered the results of the strategic review process undertaken by Numerex in 2016 and 2017 and, taking into account the advice of Deutsche Bank, concluded that there was only a limited number of potentially interested and capable counterparties that had both the capacity to compete with the terms proposed by Sierra Wireless and the demonstrated interest in Numerex’s business. The Numerex board of directors also considered that the merger agreement allows Numerex to respond to unsolicited takeover proposals if another party decided to approach Numerex and make an offer prior to the stockholder vote.

• Strategic Competitive Advantage of Combined Company. The Numerex board believed that the combined company will have a powerful business and technology platform that will enable the combined company to drive a global leadership position in IoT services and solutions. The Numerex board also believed that the merger will strengthen Numerex’s business, advance its product offerings, and accelerate the growth of its recurring revenue streams, providing Numerex stockholders the opportunity to participate in the considerable upside potential of the combined company.

• Negotiation Process and Procedural Fairness. The Numerex board of directors considered the fact that the terms of the merger were the result of robust arm’s-length negotiations conducted by Numerex, with the knowledge and at the direction of the Numerex board of directors, and with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors.

• Type of Consideration. The Numerex board of directors considered that the merger consideration is to be paid in stock of Sierra Wireless, which provides holders Numerex common stock with the ability to

51

participate in the future growth of Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ respective businesses while limiting Numerex’s significant business risks if it were to remain a stand-alone entity. In addition, the Sierra Wireless shares to be received will be freely tradeable in the public market following closing. The Numerex board believed that Sierra Wireless common shares represented a highly attractive form of consideration for Numerex stockholders, and its expectation that Numerex stockholders would benefit from holding such consideration and benefiting from the strategic value of the combination over the long term.

• Likelihood of Completion; Certainty of Closing. The Numerex board of directors considered its belief that the merger will likely be consummated, based on, among other factors:

• the fact that the conditions to the merger are specific and limited in scope;

• the absence of any financing or Sierra Wireless shareholder vote conditions to consummation of the merger; and

• the reputation of Sierra Wireless.

• Speed of Completion. The Numerex board of directors considered the anticipated timing of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and the structure of the merger, which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in the merger agreement, should allow stockholders to receive the consideration for their shares of Numerex common stock in a relatively short time frame. The Numerex board of directors considered that the potential for closing in a relatively short time frame could also reduce the amount of time in which Numerex’s business would be subject to the potential disruption and uncertainty pending closing.

• Certain Numerex Management Projections. The Numerex board of directors considered the financial forecasts for Numerex prepared by Numerex’s management, which reflect an application of various commercial assumptions of Numerex’s senior management to the latest available long-term plans of Numerex.

• Other Terms of the Merger Agreement. The Numerex board of directors considered other terms of the merger agreement. Certain provisions of the merger agreement that the Numerex board of directors considered important included:

• Ability to Respond to Unsolicited Takeover Proposals. Prior to the receipt of Numerex stockholder approval or termination of the merger agreement, the Numerex board of directors may provide non-confidential information and/or engage in discussions or negotiations in connection with an unsolicited bona fide written takeover proposal if the Numerex board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such takeover proposal is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a superior proposal and that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law, subject to certain notice requirements in favor of Sierra Wireless and the entry into an acceptable confidentiality agreement.

• Numerex Adverse Recommendation Change in Response to a Superior Proposal; Ability to Accept a Superior Proposal. The Numerex board of directors may, in connection with a superior proposal, effect a change in recommendation if the Numerex board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law, and/or cause Numerex to terminate the merger agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal, subject, in each case, to a four-business day “match right” that would allow Sierra Wireless to match a superior proposal, and which will renew for two additional business days with any revisions to the financial terms or any material revisions to the other terms of the superior proposal.

52

• General Numerex Adverse Recommendation Change. Upon the occurrence of certain intervening events, the Numerex board of directors may also effect a change in recommendation other than in response to a superior proposal if the Numerex board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law, subject to a four-business day match right that would allow Sierra Wireless to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement to allow the merger to be effected.

In reaching its determinations and recommendations described above, the Numerex board of directors also considered the following potentially negative factors:

• Non-Solicitation Covenant. The Numerex board of directors considered that the merger agreement prohibits Numerex from soliciting takeover proposals from third parties.

• Termination Fee. The Numerex board of directors considered the fact that Numerex must pay Sierra Wireless a termination fee of approximately $4,012,500, calculated as 3.75% of the aggregate equity value of the merger as of the date of signing the merger agreement, if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including to accept a superior proposal, and that the amount of the termination fee is comparable to termination fees in transactions of a similar size, was reasonable, would not likely deter competing bids and would not likely be required to be paid unless Numerex entered into a more favorable transaction. The Numerex board of directors also recognized that the provisions in the merger agreement relating to these fees were insisted upon by Sierra Wireless as a condition to entering into the merger agreement.

• Interim Operating Covenants. The Numerex board of directors considered that the merger agreement requires Numerex, prior to the consummation of the merger, to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact its business organizations, preserve its advantageous relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, distributors, licensors, licensees and others having business dealings with it, and may limit Numerex from taking specified actions, subject to specific limitations, which may delay or prevent Numerex from undertaking strategic opportunities outside the ordinary course of business that may arise pending completion of the merger.

• Risks the Merger May Not Be Completed. The Numerex board of directors considered the risk that the conditions to the merger, including regulatory approval under the HSR Act and failure to obtain stockholder approval, may not be satisfied and that, therefore, the merger may not be consummated. The Numerex board of directors also considered the risks and costs to Numerex if the merger is not consummated, including the diversion of management and employee attention, potential employee attrition, the potential effect on employees, customers, suppliers, distributors, licensors, licensees and others that do business with Numerex and the potential effect on the market price of the shares of Numerex common stock.

• Risks Associated with the Lack of Price Protection. The Numerex board of directors considered the risk of entering into a transaction with the consideration being a fixed percentage of the outstanding shares of Sierra Wireless common shares without a collar associated with the market price of Sierra Wireless’ shares. The Numerex board of directors recognized that the absence of a collar could significantly benefit Numerex stockholders in the event the market price of Sierra Wireless’ shares increases, but could also limit the value to be received by Numerex stockholders in the event the market price of Sierra Wireless’ common shares decreased.

• Absence of Sierra Wireless Management Projections. The Numerex board of directors considered that Sierra Wireless did not provide Numerex with internal annual financial forecasts for Sierra Wireless and that, instead, management of Sierra Wireless had discussed certain publicly available quarterly forecasts related to Sierra Wireless with Deutsche Bank, together with certain adjustments thereto and

53

extrapolations thereof based on financial and operating metrics furnished to or discussed with Deutsche Bank by the management of Sierra Wireless.

• Potential Conflicts of Interest. The Numerex board of directors considered the fact that Numerex’s executive officers and directors have financial interests in the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, that may be different from or in addition to those of other stockholders.

• Other Risk Associated with the Merger. The Numerex board of directors also considered the risks associated with the integration of the two companies and the fact that the anticipated synergies of the combined entity may not be realized to the extent expected during the negotiations, or at all, as well as the overall business and industry-related risks involving Sierra Wireless’ business.

After considering the foregoing potentially negative and potentially positive factors, the Numerex board of directors concluded that the uncertainties, risks and potentially negative factors relevant to the merger were outweighed by the potential benefits that it expected Numerex and its stockholders would achieve as a result of the transaction.

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Numerex board of directors is intended to be a summary, and is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes the principal factors considered by the Numerex board of directors. After considering these factors, the Numerex board of directors concluded that the positive factors relating to the merger agreement and the merger substantially outweighed the potential negative factors. The Numerex board of directors collectively reached the conclusion to approve the merger agreement and the merger, in light of the various factors described above and other factors that the members of the Numerex board of directors believed were appropriate to consider. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Numerex board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the merger agreement and the merger, and the complexity of these matters, the Numerex board of directors did not consider it practical, and did not attempt to quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision, and it did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any factor, or any particular aspect of any factor, supported or did not support its ultimate determination. Rather, the Numerex board of directors made its recommendation based on the totality of information it received and the investigation it conducted. In considering the factors discussed above, individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of the Numerex board of directors and certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In considering the recommendation of the Numerex board of directors, you should be aware that directors and executive officers of Numerex have interests in the proposed merger that are in addition to, or different from, any interests they might have as stockholders. For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”

Opinion of Numerex’s Financial Advisor

At the August 2, 2017 meeting of the Numerex board of directors, Deutsche Bank rendered its oral opinion to the Numerex board of directors, subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated August 2, 2017, to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, limitations, qualifications and conditions on the review undertaken in connection therewith, as described in Deutsche Bank’s opinion, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the outstanding shares of Numerex common stock (other than Sierra Wireless and its affiliates).

The full text of Deutsche Bank’s written opinion, dated August 2, 2017, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations, qualifications and conditions

54

on the review undertaken by Deutsche Bank in connection with the opinion, is attached to this document as Annex B and is incorporated herein by reference (which we refer to as the “opinion”). The summary of Deutsche Bank’s opinion set forth in this document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Deutsche Bank’s opinion was approved and authorized for issuance by a Deutsche Bank fairness opinion review committee and was addressed to, and was for the use and benefit of, the Numerex board of directors in connection with and for the purpose of its evaluation of the merger. Deutsche Bank’s opinion was limited to the fairness of the exchange ratio, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the outstanding shares of Numerex common stock (excluding Sierra Wireless and its affiliates) as of the date of the opinion. Deutsche Bank’s opinion did not address any other terms of the merger, the merger agreement, the Hale Agreement or any other agreement entered into or to be entered into in connection with the merger. The Numerex board of directors did not ask Deutsche Bank to, and Deutsche Bank’s opinion did not, address the fairness of the merger, or any consideration received in connection therewith, to the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Numerex, nor did it address the fairness of the contemplated benefits of the merger. Deutsche Bank expressed no opinion as to the merits of the underlying decision by Numerex to engage in the merger or the relative merits of the merger as compared to any alternative transactions or business strategies. Nor did Deutsche Bank express any opinion, and Deutsche Bank’s opinion does not constitute a recommendation, as to how any holder of shares of Numerex common stock should vote with respect to the merger or any other matter. In addition, Deutsche Bank did not express any view or opinion as to the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount or nature of any compensation payable to, or to be received by, any of the officers, directors, or employees of any party to the merger, or any class of such persons, in connection with the merger, whether relative to the exchange ratio or otherwise. In particular, Deutsche Bank expressed no opinion with respect to the consideration to be received by Hale Capital in exchange for the surrender of the Hale Warrant pursuant to the Hale Agreement or the relative fairness of the exchange ratio as compared with the consideration to be received by Hale Capital in exchange for the surrender of the Hale Warrant. Deutsche Bank’s opinion did not in any manner address the prices at which the Numerex common stock, the Sierra Wireless common shares or any other securities will trade following the announcement or completion of the merger.

In connection with Deutsche Bank’s role as financial advisor to Numerex, and in arriving at its opinion, Deutsche Bank reviewed (a) certain publicly available financial and other information concerning Numerex, certain internal analyses, financial forecasts and other information relating to Numerex prepared by management of Numerex (which we refer to as the “Numerex forecasts”), and (b) certain publicly available financial and other information concerning Sierra Wireless, including publicly available financial forecasts related to Sierra Wireless furnished to or discussed with Deutsche Bank by the management of Sierra Wireless and certain adjustments thereto and extrapolations thereof based on financial and operating metrics furnished to or discussed with Deutsche Bank by the management of Sierra Wireless, prepared at the direction of Numerex and approved by Numerex for Deutsche Bank’s use (which we refer to as the “Sierra Wireless forecasts”). Deutsche Bank also held discussions with certain senior officers of Numerex regarding the businesses and prospects of Numerex and Sierra Wireless, and with certain senior officers and other representatives and advisor of Sierra Wireless regarding the business and prospects of Sierra Wireless. In addition, Deutsche Bank:

• reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the Numerex common stock and the Sierra Wireless common shares;

• to the extent publicly available, compared certain financial and stock market information for Numerex and Sierra Wireless with, to the extent publicly available, similar information for certain other companies Deutsche Bank considered relevant whose securities are publicly traded;

• reviewed, to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain recent business combinations, which Deutsche Bank deemed relevant;

• reviewed the merger agreement and the Hale Agreement; and

• performed such other studies and analyses and considered such other factors as Deutsche Bank deemed appropriate.

55

Deutsche Bank did not assume responsibility for independent verification of, and did not independently verify, any information, whether publicly available or furnished to it, concerning Numerex, Sierra Wireless or the combined company, including, without limitation, any financial information considered in connection with the rendering of Deutsche Bank’s opinion. Accordingly, for purposes of Deutsche Bank’s opinion, Deutsche Bank, with the knowledge and permission of the Numerex board of directors, assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all such information. Deutsche Bank did not conduct a physical inspection of any of the properties or assets, and did not prepare, obtain or review any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets or liabilities), of Numerex, Sierra Wireless or any of their respective subsidiaries, nor did Deutsche Bank evaluate the solvency or fair value of Numerex, Sierra Wireless or the combined company (or the impact of the merger thereon) under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. With respect to the Numerex forecasts used in its analyses, Deutsche Bank assumed with the knowledge and permission of Numerex board of directors, that such forecasts had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Numerex as to the matters covered thereby. As previously disclosed to the Numerex board of directors, Deutsche Bank was not provided with, and Deutsche Bank did not have access to, financial forecasts relating to Sierra Wireless prepared by the management of Sierra Wireless. Deutsche Bank was advised by the management of Sierra Wireless that Sierra Wireless was not aware of any facts or circumstances that would have caused it to conclude that the Sierra Wireless forecasts were not a reasonable basis, and, at the direction of Numerex, Deutsche Bank assumed that the Sierra Wireless forecasts were a reasonable basis, upon which to evaluate the future financial performance of Sierra Wireless and, accordingly, Deutsche Bank used Sierra Wireless forecasts for purposes of its analysis and opinion. In this regard, on August 1, 2017, upon completion of its latest forecast, management of Sierra Wireless updated management of Numerex on certain financial matters including preliminary second quarter 2017 results, which were ahead of Wall Street consensus estimates, as well as expected third quarter revenue guidance, which at the mid-point was aligned with Wall Street consensus estimates, and third quarter EPS guidance, which at the mid-point was $0.03 per share below Wall Street consensus estimates. Sierra Wireless’ management further indicated that the remainder of the 2017 forecast had not materially changed. The financial analyses described below were prepared prior to receipt of such information. While the Sierra Wireless forecasts and such financial analyses were not updated to reflect this additional information, Deutsche Bank did not believe that such information would be material to its analyses because the long-term forecasts had not changed. In rendering its opinion, Deutsche Bank expressed no view as to the reasonableness of the Numerex forecasts or the Sierra Wireless forecasts or the assumptions on which they were based. Deutsche Bank also assumed, at the direction of Numerex, that the merger would qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of the Code. Deutsche Bank’s opinion was necessarily based upon economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Deutsche Bank as of, the date of the opinion. Deutsche Bank expressly disclaimed any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting Deutsche Bank’s opinion of which Deutsche Bank becomes aware after the date of its opinion.

For purposes of rendering its opinion, Deutsche Bank assumed with the knowledge and permission of the Numerex board of directors that, in all respects material to Deutsche Bank’s analysis, the merger would be consummated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, without any waiver, modification or amendment of any term, condition or agreement that would be material to Deutsche Bank’s analysis. Deutsche Bank also assumed with knowledge and permission of the Numerex board of directors that all material governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required in connection with the consummation of the merger would be obtained and that in connection with obtaining any necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents, no restrictions, terms or conditions would be imposed that would be material to Deutsche Bank’s analysis. Deutsche Bank is not a legal, regulatory, tax or accounting expert and relied on the assessments made by Numerex and its other advisors with respect to such issues.

Numerex selected Deutsche Bank as its financial advisor in connection with the merger based on Deutsche Bank’s qualifications, expertise, reputation and experience in mergers and acquisitions. Pursuant to an engagement letter between Numerex and Deutsche Bank, dated August 2, 2016, Numerex agreed to pay

56

Deutsche Bank a fee estimated to be approximately $3,000,000 for its services as financial advisor to Numerex in connection with the merger, of which $750,000 became payable upon delivery of its opinion (or would have become payable if Deutsche Bank had advised the Numerex board of directors that it was unable to render an opinion) and the remainder of which is contingent upon consummation of the merger. Numerex has also agreed to reimburse Deutsche Bank for its expenses, and to indemnify Deutsche Bank against certain liabilities, in connection with its engagement.

Deutsche Bank is an affiliate of Deutsche Bank AG (together with its affiliates, the “DB Group”). The DB Group has not received fees from Sierra or Numerex with respect to any investment banking, transaction banking, or corporate banking services unrelated to the merger since January 1, 2015. One or more members of DB Group may provide investment and commercial banking services to Sierra Wireless and Numerex in the future, for which Deutsche Bank would expect the DB Group to receive compensation. In the ordinary course of business, members of the DB Group may actively trade in the securities and other instruments and obligations of Sierra Wireless, Numerex and their respective affiliates for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers. Accordingly, the DB Group may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities, instruments, and obligations.

Summary of Material Financial Analysis

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by Deutsche Bank to the Numerex board of directors on August 2, 2017, and that were used in connection with rendering its opinion described above.

The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Deutsche Bank, nor does the order in which the analyses are described below represent the relative importance or weight given to the analyses by Deutsche Bank. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the analyses, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of Deutsche Bank’s analyses. Considering the data described below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Deutsche Bank’s analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before August 1, 2017, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

In preparing its analysis, Deutsche Bank utilized calculations of, among other things, (i) enterprise value, calculated as equity value plus net debt (“EV”), (ii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring items (“Adjusted EBITDA”). For purposes of its analysis, Deutsche Bank calculated Numerex’s last twelve months EBITDA on an annualized basis using Numerex’s results for the second quarter of 2017 in order to fully reflect Numerex’s recent cost restructuring initiatives and the resulting improvements in its pro forma results.

Selected Public Companies Analysis

Deutsche Bank reviewed and compared certain financial information and commonly used valuation measurements for Numerex and Sierra Wireless with corresponding financial information and valuation measurements for the publicly-traded IoT companies that are listed below:

• CalAmp Corp.

• Digi International Inc.

• ORBCOMM Inc.

• Telit Communications Plc

• u-blox Holding AG

57

Although none of Sierra Wireless or the other selected companies is directly comparable to Numerex, and none of Numerex or the other selected companies is directly comparable to Sierra Wireless, for the purpose of selecting the companies for this analysis, Deutsche bank utilized its professional judgment and experience as investment bankers, taking into account several factors, including, among other things, Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ operational capabilities and financial profile compared with those of the selected companies, the competitive landscape in which Numerex, Sierra Wireless and the selected companies operate and Numerex’s and Sierra Wireless’ product offerings and those of the selected companies. Accordingly, the analysis of selected publicly traded companies was not simply mathematical. Rather, it involved complex considerations and qualitative judgments, reflected in the opinion of Deutsche Bank, concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and other factors that could affect the public trading value of such companies.

Based on the closing prices of each of the common stock or common equity of selected companies (including Sierra Wireless) on August 1, 2017, information contained in the most recent public filings of Sierra Wireless and the selected companies, and analyst consensus estimates of Adjusted EBITDA for calendar year 2017 for Sierra Wireless and each of the selected companies, Deutsche Bank calculated the following multiples with respect to Sierra Wireless and each of the selected companies:

• EV as a multiple of last twelve months (“LTM”) Adjusted EBITDA⁴ ; and

• EV as a multiple of the estimated calendar year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA.

Deutsche Bank calculated the same multiples for Numerex based upon (a) LTM Adjusted EBITDA of Numerex, (b) Numerex management’s estimates of the calendar year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA of Numerex, (c) analyst consensus estimates of the calendar year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA of Numerex and (d) implied EV of Numerex based upon the implied value of the exchange ratio of $5.34 per share of Numerex common stock based upon the closing price per Sierra Wireless common share of $29.65 on August 1, 2017. The results of this analysis are summarized as follows:

	EV/LTM Adjusted EBITDA		EV/CY2017E Adjusted EBITDA
Selected Companies
CalAmp Corp.		16.1x	15.2x
Digi International Inc.		9.0x	11.1x
ORBCOMM Inc.		20.3x	18.7x
Telit Communications Plc		8.3x	6.9x
u-blox Holding AG		15.4x	13.9x
Median (including Sierra Wireless)		15.8x	14.6x
Sierra Wireless		18.0x	16.5x
Numerex (at $5.34 per share)		21.3x	12.5x (management estimate) 15.0x (analyst consensus)

Based in part upon the multiples of Sierra Wireless and the selected companies described above and taking into account its professional judgment and experience, Deutsche Bank calculated the following estimated implied exchange ratio ranges (based on the closing price of $29.65 per Sierra Wireless common share on August 1, 2017):

• approximately 0.0542 to 0.1206, by applying multiples of EV to Numerex’s LTM Adjusted EBITDA of 8.0x to 15.0x (corresponding to a range of implied values of approximately $1.61 to $3.58 per share of Numerex common stock based upon the closing price per Sierra Wireless common share of $29.65 on August 1, 2017);

⁴  In the case of Numerex, LTM Adjusted EBITDA was calculated on an annualized basis using Numerex’s results for the second quarter of 2017 in order to fully reflect Numerex’s recent cost restructuring initiatives and the resulting improvements in its pro forma results.

58

• approximately 0.0914 to 0.1882, by applying multiples of EV to Numerex’s management estimates of calendar year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA of 7.0x to 13.0x (corresponding to a range of implied values of approximately $2.71 to $5.58 per share of Numerex common stock based upon the closing price per Sierra Wireless common share of $29.65 on August 1, 2017); and

• approximately 0.0727 to 0.1536, by applying multiples of EV to analyst consensus estimates of Numerex’s calendar year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA of 7.0x to 13.0x (corresponding to a range of implied values of approximately $2.15 to $4.55 per share of Numerex common stock based upon the closing price per Sierra Wireless common share of $29.65 on August 1, 2017).

Selected Transactions Analysis

Deutsche Bank reviewed publicly available information relating to the eight selected acquisition transactions in the communications and IoT industry announced since May 2011 described in the table below, which are referred to in this section as the “selected transactions.”

Although none of the selected transactions is directly comparable to the merger, the companies that participated in the selected transactions were selected by Deutsche Bank based upon its professional judgment and experience as investment bankers and its knowledge of transactions of a similar nature and are such that, for purposes of analysis, the selected transactions may be considered similar to the merger.

With respect to each selected transaction and based on publicly available information, Deutsche Bank calculated the multiples of the target’s EV to LTM EBITDA. The following table presents the results of this analysis:

Date Announced	Target	Acquirer	EV/LTM EBITDA
May 2011	Tekla Corp.	Trimble Finland Oy	28.5x
June 2012	Miranda Technologies Inc.	Belden Inc.	9.0x
April 2013	Telular Corporation	Avista Capital Partners	11.4x
April 2014	Omnilink Systems Inc.	Numerex	Not meaningful
June 2014	Sascar Participações S.A.	Compagnie Generale Des Establishments Michelin SA	15.4x
September 2014	XRS Corp.	Omnitracs LLC Vista Equity Partners	21.7x
February 2016	CalAmp Corp.	LoJack Corporation	15.1x
August 2016	Fleetmatics Group PLC	Verizon Communications Inc.	22.4x
Median			15.4x

Based in part upon the multiples of the selected transactions described above, and taking into account its professional judgment and experience, Deutsche Bank calculated an estimated implied exchange ratio range (based on the closing price of $29.65 per Sierra Wireless common share on August 1, 2017) of approximately 0.0921 to 0.1869 by applying multiples of EV to Numerex’s LTM Adjusted EBITDA of 12.0x to 22.0x (resulting in a range of implied values of approximately $2.73 to $5.54 per share of Numerex common stock based on the closing price per Sierra Wireless common share of $29.65 on August 1, 2017).

Numerex Standalone Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Deutsche Bank performed a discounted cash flow analysis to determine a range of implied net present values per share of Numerex common stock. Deutsche Bank applied discount rates ranging from 12.0% to 14.1% to estimates of the future unlevered free cash flows of Numerex for the calendar years 2017 through 2021, and to a range of estimated terminal values for Numerex at the end of such period based upon the Numerex forecasts to determine a range of implied enterprise values for Numerex as of August 1, 2017. For purposes of its financial

59

analyses, Deutsche Bank calculated unlevered free cash flow as (a) Adjusted EBITDA less, (b) stock based compensation expense less, (c) cash taxes, less (d) capital expenditures, less (e) change in net working capital. Deutsche Bank derived the foregoing range of discount rates utilizing a weighted average cost of capital analysis based on certain financial metrics for Numerex, Sierra Wireless and the other selected companies described above. The terminal values were calculated using a range of perpetuity growth rates of 3.0% to 5.0%. Deutsche Bank then added cash (net of debt) and divided the result by the number of fully diluted shares of Numerex’s common stock outstanding using the treasury stock method. This analysis resulted in a range of implied net present values of Numerex common stock as of August 1, 2017 of approximately $3.56 to $5.49 per share which, based on the closing price of $29.65 per Sierra Wireless common share on August 1, 2017, corresponded to an implied exchange ratio range of approximately 0.1200 to 0.1853.

Relative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Deutsche Bank also performed a discounted cash flow analysis to determine a range of implied net present values per Sierra Wireless common share. Deutsche Bank applied discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 12.0% to estimates of the future unlevered free cash flows of Sierra Wireless for the calendar years 2017 through 2021, and to a range of estimated terminal values for Sierra Wireless at the end of such period based upon the Sierra Wireless forecasts to determine a range of implied enterprise values for Sierra Wireless as of August 1, 2017. For purposes of its financial analyses, Deutsche Bank calculated unlevered free cash flow as (a) Adjusted EBITDA less, (b) stock based compensation expense less, (c) cash taxes, less (d) capital expenditures, less (e) change in net working capital. Deutsche Bank derived the foregoing range of discount rates utilizing a weighted average cost of capital analysis based on certain financial metrics for Sierra Wireless, Numerex and the other selected companies described above. The terminal values were calculated using a range of perpetuity growth rates of 3.0% to 4.0%. Deutsche Bank then added cash (net of debt) and divided the result by the number of fully diluted Sierra Wireless’ common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. This analysis resulted in a range of implied present values of Sierra Wireless common shares as of August 1, 2017 of approximately $23.07 to $32.70 per share.

Based upon the implied net present value ranges of a share of Numerex common stock described under “Numerex Standalone Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” above and a Sierra Wireless common share as described above, Deutsche Bank derived a range of estimated implied exchange ratio of 0.1542 to 0.1680 (resulting in a range of implied values of approximately $4.57 to $4.98 per share of Numerex common stock based on the closing price of $29.65 per Sierra Wireless common share on August 1, 2017).

Other Information

Deutsche Bank also noted for the Numerex board of directors certain additional factors that were not considered part of its financial analysis with respect to its opinion but were referenced for informational purposes.

Specifically, Deutsche Bank reviewed the historical trading prices for Numerex common stock and Sierra Wireless common shares and the resulting implied exchange ratio for each trading day during the 52-week period ended August 1, 2017 calculated by dividing the closing price per share of Numerex common stock by the closing price per Sierra Wireless common share on each relevant date. Deutsche Bank noted that the implied exchange ratio during such period ranged from a low of approximately 0.1362 to a high of approximately 0.5944 (resulting in implied values of approximately $4.04 to $17.62 per share of Numerex common stock) during such 52-week period. Deutsche Bank also noted that the implied exchange ratio during the three-month period ended on August 1, 2017 ranged from a low of approximately 0.1362 to a high of approximately 0.2000 (resulting in implied values of approximately $4.04 to $5.93 per share of Numerex common stock based on the closing price of $29.65 per Sierra Wireless common share on August 1, 2017) during such three-month period.

Deutsche Bank reviewed the implied premiums to stock price and implied exchange ratio in 21 all stock transactions involving U.S. acquisition targets (excluding cancelled transactions, merger-of-equal transactions, and real estate, energy and financial transactions) with transaction values greater than $100 million announced since January 1, 2012 based on closing stock prices of the target companies involved in such transactions one-day, 30-days average and 60-days average prior to announcement of the relevant transaction. Deutsche Bank also calculated the same premiums with respect to the exchange ratio of 0.1800 Sierra Wireless common shares per share of Numerex common stock. Negative premiums and premiums above 200% were considered not meaningful. The results of this analysis are summarized as follows:

	Premium to Exchange Ratio			Premium to Stock Price
	1-day	30-day avg.	60-day avg.	1-day	30-day avg.	60-day avg.
25th Percentile	11%	17%	14%	11%	12%	14%
Median	22%	24%	23%	22%	27%	24%
75th Percentile	36%	36%	37%	36%	41%	44%
The Merger	11%	10%	15%	11%	12%	18%

Deutsche Bank also noted that applying a control premium of 10% to 30% to the exchange ratio implied by the closing prices of Numerex common stock and Sierra Wireless common shares on August 1, 2017 resulted in a range of implied exchange ratios of approximately 0.1781 to 0.2105 (resulting in implied values of approximately $5.28 to $6.24 per share of Numerex common stock based on the closing price of $29.65 per Sierra Wireless common share on August 1, 2017).

Deutsche Bank also reviewed the stock price targets for (a) Numerex common stock in the two publicly available research analysts’ reports published in May 2017 which included such a price target, both of which indicated a price target of $5.00 per share and (b) Sierra Wireless common shares in thirteen research analysts’ reports published between May 2017 and July 2017 which included such a price target, which indicated a price target range from a low of $22.00 per share to a high of $33.00 per share. Based on the median price target for Numerex common stock and the price target range for Sierra Wireless common shares, Deutsche Bank calculated a range of implied exchange ratios of approximately 0.1515 to 0.2273 (resulting in implied values of approximately $4.49 to $6.79 per share of Numerex common stock based on the closing price of $29.65 per Sierra Wireless common shares on August 1, 2017).

For each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless, Deutsche Bank also reviewed the LTM revenue, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, the estimated calendar year 2017 revenue (in the case of Numerex, based on the Numerex forecasts and in the case of Sierra Wireless, based on the Sierra Wireless forecasts) and the estimated calendar year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA (in the case of Numerex, based on the Numerex forecasts and in the case of Sierra Wireless, based on the Sierra Wireless forecasts) to analyze and compare the relative implied contributions of Numerex and Sierra Wireless to the combined company. Based upon such implied contributions, Deutsche Bank derived estimates of the implied equity value contributions of Numerex and Sierra Wireless to the combined company and the resulting exchange ratios. The results of this analysis are summarized as follows:

		Implied Contribution						Implied Equity Value Contribution						Implied Exchange Ratio
		Numerex			Sierra			Numerex			Sierra
Revenue	LTM		8	%		92	%		6	%		94	%		0.1107
	CY2017E		10	%		90	%		8	%		92	%		0.1392
EBITDA	LTM		10	%		90	%		8	%		92	%		0.1486
	CY2017E		15	%		85	%		13	%		87	%		0.2438

Miscellaneous

This summary is not a complete description of Deutsche Bank’s opinion or the underlying analyses and factors considered in connection with Deutsche Bank’s opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving the application of subjective business and financial judgment in determining the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Deutsche Bank believes that its analyses described above must be considered as a whole and that considering any portion of such analyses and of the factors considered without considering all analyses and factors could create a misleading view of the process underlying its opinion. Selecting portions of the analyses or summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the Deutsche Bank opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Deutsche Bank considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis. Rather, it made its fairness determination on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction in the analyses described above is identical to Numerex, Sierra Wireless or the merger.

In conducting its analyses and arriving at its opinion, Deutsche Bank utilized a variety of generally accepted valuation methods. The analyses were prepared solely for the purpose of enabling Deutsche Bank to provide its opinion to the Numerex board of directors as to the fairness of the exchange ratio, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Numerex common stock (other than Sierra and its affiliates) as of the date of the opinion and do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold, which are inherently subject to uncertainty. As described above, in connection with its analyses, Deutsche Bank made, and was provided by the management of Numerex with, numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Deutsche Bank or Numerex. Analyses based on estimates or forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual, past or future values or results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Because such analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of Numerex or its respective advisors, Deutsche Bank does not assume responsibility if future results or actual values are materially different from these forecasts or assumptions.

The terms of the merger, including the exchange ratio, were determined through arm’s-length negotiations between Numerex and Sierra Wireless and were approved by the Numerex board of directors. Although Deutsche Bank provided advice to the Numerex board of directors during the course of these negotiations, the decision to enter into the merger agreement was solely that of the Numerex board of directors.

Deutsche Bank did not recommend any specific consideration or exchange ratio to Numerex or the Numerex board of directors, or that any specific amount or type of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the transaction. As described above, the opinion of Deutsche Bank and its presentation to the Numerex board of directors were among a number of factors taken into consideration by the Numerex board of directors in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Numerex Unaudited Prospective Financial Information

Numerex is including limited unaudited prospective financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus solely because it was among the financial information provided to the Numerex board of directors, Deutsche Bank, Sierra Wireless and RBC in connection with their respective evaluation of the merger. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that any of Numerex, Sierra Wireless, their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or other representatives, Deutsche Bank, RBC or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it necessarily to be predictive of actual future results, or that it should be construed as financial guidance, and it should not be relied on as such. This information was prepared solely for internal use and is subjective in many respects.

62

While presented with numeric specificity, the unaudited prospective financial information reflects numerous estimates and assumptions made with respect to business, economic, market, competition, financial conditions and other matters specific to Numerex’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Numerex’s control. The unaudited prospective financial information reflects both assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change and, in many respects, subjective judgment, and thus is susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. Numerex can give no assurance that the unaudited prospective financial information and the underlying estimates and assumptions will be realized. In addition, since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.

The unaudited prospective financial information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date it was prepared. Numerex can give no assurance that, had the unaudited prospective financial information been prepared as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, similar estimates and assumptions would be used. NUMEREX DOES NOT INTEND TO, AND DISCLAIMS ANY OBLIGATION TO, MAKE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ANY UPDATE OR OTHER REVISION TO THE UNAUDITED PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING SINCE ITS PREPARATION OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE UNAUDITED PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION ARE NOT REALIZED, OR TO REFLECT CHANGES IN GENERAL ECONOMIC OR INDUSTRY CONDITIONS, EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. The unaudited prospective financial information does not take into account the possible financial and other effects on Numerex of the merger and does not attempt to predict or suggest future results of the combined company. The unaudited prospective financial information does not give effect to the merger, including the impact of negotiating or executing the merger agreement, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with consummating the merger, potential synergies that may be achieved by the combined company as a result of the merger or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the merger agreement had not been executed, but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the merger. Further, the unaudited prospective financial information does not take into account the effect on Numerex of any possible failure of the merger to occur. None of Numerex, Sierra Wireless or their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or other representatives has made, makes or is authorized in the future to make any representation to any stockholder of Numerex or Sierra Wireless or other person regarding Numerex’s ultimate performance compared to the information contained in the unaudited prospective financial information or that the forecasted results will be achieved.

The following table presents selected unaudited prospective financial data of Numerex prepared by Numerex management and provided to the Numerex board of directors, Deutsche Bank, Sierra Wireless and RBC.

	Fiscal year ending
	December 31, 2017		December 31, 2018		December 31, 2019
(in millions)
Total revenue	$	73	$	80	$	89
EBITDA(1)		4		7		9
Adjusted EBITDA (2)		10		12		14

(1) Non-GAAP measure.

(2) Non-GAAP measure. For this purpose, non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net (loss) income before interest income and expense, income tax expense and benefit, depreciation and amortization, equity compensation and non-operational items.

63

The unaudited prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, nor was it prepared with a view toward compliance with GAAP, published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for the preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither Numerex’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the unaudited prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability. The independent registered public accountant report of BDO USA, LLP included in this proxy statement/prospectus relates to Numerex’s historical financial information. It does not extend to the unaudited prospective financial information and should not be read to do so.

No assurances can be given that the assumptions made in preparing the above unaudited prospective financial information will accurately reflect future conditions. The estimates and assumptions underlying the unaudited prospective financial information involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, financial market conditions and future business decisions that may not be realized and that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Numerex and/or Sierra Wireless and will be beyond the control of the combined company. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions will prove to be accurate or that the projected results will be realized, and actual results likely will differ, and may differ materially, from those reflected in the unaudited prospective financial information, whether or not the merger is completed.

In light of the foregoing, and considering that Numerex’s special meeting will be held after the unaudited prospective financial information was prepared, as well as the uncertainties inherent in forecasting information, Numerex and Numerex stockholders are cautioned not to place unwarranted reliance on such information, and Numerex urges all Numerex stockholders and Sierra Wireless shareholders to review Numerex’s most recent SEC filings for a description of Numerex’s reported financial results. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Listing of Sierra Wireless Common Shares

It is a condition to the completion of the merger that the Sierra Wireless common shares issued pursuant to the merger agreement are approved for listing on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX, subject only to the provision of required documentation as is customary in the circumstances. Sierra Wireless must use its best efforts to obtain the listing and admission for trading of the Sierra Wireless common shares issued as merger consideration on both the Nasdaq GM and the TSX.

Delisting and Deregistration of Numerex Common Stock

As promptly as practicable after the effective time, and in any event no more than ten (10) days after the effective time, Numerex common stock currently listed on the Nasdaq will cease to be listed on the Nasdaq and will be deregistered under the U.S. Exchange Act.

Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of the Numerex board of directors that you vote to adopt the merger agreement, you should be aware that aside from their interests as Numerex stockholders, Numerex’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Numerex stockholders generally. Members of the Numerex board of directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and the merger, and in recommending to Numerex stockholders that the merger agreement be adopted. For more information see the sections entitled “The Merger Proposal—Background of the Merger” and “The Merger Proposal—Numerex’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Numerex Board of Directors.” These interests are described in more detail below, and certain of them are quantified in the narrative and the table below.

64

Treatment of Numerex Equity Awards and Warrants

Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. At the effective time, each outstanding Numerex option and Numerex stock appreciation right (which we refer to as a “Numerex SAR”) that has an exercise price that is less than the product of (i) the exchange ratio and (ii) the volume weighted average price of a Sierra Wireless common share on the Nasdaq GM for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day on which the effective time occurs (such Numerex option or Numerex SAR, an “In-the-Money Option” or “In-the-Money SAR,” respectively), will become fully vested and will be automatically cancelled and extinguished in exchange for the right to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time, a number of Sierra Wireless common shares for each such Numerex option and Numerex SAR determined by dividing (i) the excess of (x) the exchange ratio multiplied by the volume weighted average price of a Sierra Wireless common share on the Nasdaq GM for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day on which the effective time occurs minus (y) the per-share exercise price for the shares of Numerex common stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR, as the case may be, by (ii) the volume weighted average price of a Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day on which the effective time occurs and rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share. Each Numerex option and Numerex SAR that is not an In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR, as applicable, whether vested or unvested, will automatically be cancelled and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Numerex common stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor.

Restricted Stock Units. At the effective time, each outstanding restricted stock unit denominated in Numerex common stock (which we refer to as a “Numerex RSU”) whether vested or unvested, will automatically vest in full and any restrictions thereon will lapse. Each such Numerex RSU shall be cancelled and the holder of a Numerex RSU will be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable (but no later than 15 calendar days) following the effective time, (i) a number of Sierra Wireless common shares equal to 0.1800 multiplied by the number of shares of Numerex common stock represented by each such Numerex RSU and (ii) any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to any Numerex RSU.

Warrants. Subject to certain exceptions, not less than seven business days prior to the closing of the merger, Numerex will provide written notice to all holders of each outstanding unexercised Numerex warrant to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Numerex common stock (each, a “Numerex Warrant”), which notice shall include such reasonable information as a holder of a Numerex Warrant may reasonably require regarding the treatment of a Numerex Warrant in connection with the closing of the merger and which notice shall otherwise be provided in accordance with the terms of each applicable Numerex Warrant agreement. If, upon receiving notice of the closing of the merger, a holder of a Numerex Warrant exercises its Numerex Warrant in accordance with its terms, then such Numerex Warrant will be (i) deemed exercised immediately prior to and contingent upon the closing of the merger and (ii) cancelled and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable (but no later than 15 calendar days) following the effective time, in consideration of the exercise and cancellation of such Numerex Warrant and in settlement therefor, in lieu of the Numerex common stock immediately issuable upon exercise of the Numerex Warrant, the number of Sierra Wireless common shares equal to the exchange ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Numerex common stock issuable upon the exercise of such Numerex Warrant had the Numerex Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. If, upon receiving notice of the closing of the merger, a holder does not exercise its Numerex Warrant in accordance with its terms, then such Numerex Warrant will (i) expire immediately prior to the consummation of the merger and (ii) cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Numerex common stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor.

In connection with entering into the merger agreement, Numerex agreed to repurchase the Hale Warrant for a purchase price of $4.0 million, immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of the merger.

Quantification of Payments. Under the Numerex 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan and the Numerex 2014 Stock and Incentive Plan (which we collectively refer to as the “Numerex equity plans”), all outstanding

65

equity awards will vest upon a change in control. The merger will constitute a change in control for purposes of the Numerex equity plans.

For an estimate of the amounts that would be payable to each of Numerex’s named executive officers on settlement of their unvested Numerex equity awards, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger—Quantification of Payments and Benefits to Numerex’s Named Executive Officers” below. There are no Numerex executive officers who are not named executive officers. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, none of Numerex’s six non-employee directors held unvested equity awards. The amount in this paragraph is determined using a per share price of Numerex common stock of $4.28, the average closing price per share of Numerex common stock over the first five business days following the announcement of the merger agreement.

Change in Control Agreements with Executive Officers

Each change in control agreement provides that, in the event of a qualifying termination, the executive officer will be entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to one year of such executive’s annual base in the event of a termination without cause or resignation for good reason within one year following a change-in-control. In addition, upon a change in control, any unvested equity incentive awards would immediately vest in full. Pursuant to those agreements, “termination without cause” is deemed to be a “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (which we refer to as the “Code”). The concept of “resignation for good reason” encompasses termination of employment following a diminution in title, responsibility, or salary level as well as required relocation outside of 50 miles from Numerex’s current headquarters location.

There are no single-trigger benefits, only double-trigger benefits, for the named executive officers. For purposes of this discussion of the severance plans, “single-trigger” refers to benefits that arise from the closing of the merger and “double-trigger” refers to benefits that require two conditions, which are the merger itself as well as a covered termination of employment within one year following the effective time of the merger.

For an estimate of the value of the payments and benefits described above that would be payable to Numerex’s named executive officers under their change in control agreement upon a qualifying termination in connection with the merger, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger—Quantification of Payments and Benefits to Numerex’s Named Executive Officers” below. There are no Numerex executive officers who are not named executive officers.

Other Compensation Matters

In addition to the payments and benefits above, under the terms of the merger agreement, Numerex may take certain compensation actions prior to the completion of the merger that will affect Numerex’s directors and executive officers, although determinations related to such actions have not been made as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and the impact of such actions is not reflected in the amounts estimated above and in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger—Quantification of Payments and Benefits to Numerex’s Named Executive Officers” below. Among other actions, Numerex may pay directors fees and other compensation and benefits in the ordinary course of business. Numerex may also determine and pay annual bonuses in respect of the 2017 fiscal year based on actual performance if the effective time has not occurred by the time such bonuses would be paid in the ordinary course of business, and make grants of equity awards to directors and executive officers in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, subject to certain limitations.

In addition, Numerex may, in consultation with Sierra Wireless, accelerate the vesting and payment of certain compensatory amounts so that they are paid in 2017 for tax planning purposes with respect to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

66

New Employment Arrangements with Numerex Executive Officers

There have been no discussions between Sierra Wireless and the Numerex executive officers regarding post-closing roles for such executive officers within the Sierra Wireless organization. However, Sierra Wireless may engage in such discussions or enter into new agreements with those individuals in the future. There is at this time no assurance that any discussions will result in any new agreements with Sierra Wireless or, if so, what the terms and conditions of any such agreements would be.

Indemnification and Insurance

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Numerex’s directors and executive officers will be entitled to certain ongoing indemnification and coverage for a period of six years following the effective time under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies from the surviving corporation. This indemnification and insurance coverage is further described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Director & Officer Indemnification and Insurance.”

Sierra Wireless Board of Directors Following the Merger

The merger agreement does not contemplate any changes to Sierra Wireless’ current board of directors. Information about Sierra Wireless’ current board of directors is incorporated herein by reference from Sierra Wireless’ Notice of 2017 Annual General Meeting and Management Information Circular, filed with the SEC on Form 6-K on April 20, 2017. For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Effects of the Merger—Sierra Wireless Governance and Other Matters.”

Quantification of Payments and Benefits to Numerex’s Named Executive Officers

The table below summarizes potential golden parachute compensation that each named executive officer would be entitled to receive from Sierra Wireless if the merger is consummated and if the named executive officer’s employment with Numerex thereafter terminates. Please note that the amounts indicated below are estimates based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur, including assumptions described herein. Some of these assumptions are based on information not currently available and, as a result, the actual amounts, if any, to be received by each named executive officer may differ in material respects from the amounts set forth below.

Solely for purposes of calculating such potential golden parachute compensation, Numerex has assumed that the merger occurs on September 30, 2017. In the event that any of the named executive officers subsequently incurs a termination of employment without cause or for good reason, such officer would be entitled to the benefits set forth in the table below.

Name	Cash ($)(1)		Equity ($)(2)		Perquisites ($)		Other ($)		Total ($)
Kenneth Gayron	$	330,000	$	231,545		—		—	$	561,545
Kelly Gay	$	330,000	$	95,000		—		—	$	425,000
Shu Gan	$	125,000	$	90,353		—		—	$	215,353

⁽¹⁾  This amount represents the “double-trigger” cash severance payments to which Messrs. Gayron and Gan and Ms. Gay may become entitled under the Change of Control Agreements upon termination. Under the Change of Control Agreements, the amounts become payable in the event that the employment of the applicable named executive officer is terminated without cause or for good reason within one year following a Change of Control. For Mr. Gayron and Ms. Kelly, this amount represents one year of base salary payable in a lump sum within 60 days of termination of employment. For Mr. Gan, this amount represents six months of base salary payable in a lump sum within 60 days of termination of employment.

⁽²⁾ Equity value calculated based on a price per share of Numerex common stock of $3.80, the closing price per share of Numerex common stock on September 29, 2017, the last trading day prior to September 30, 2017, and less the applicable exercise price in the case of unvested Numerex options and Numerex RSUs.

67

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the merger will be accounted for as a business combination applying the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of the merger consideration paid by Sierra Wireless in connection with the merger will be allocated to Numerex’s net assets based on their fair values as of the completion of the transaction. The excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in Numerex will be allocated to goodwill. The results of operations of Numerex will be included in Sierra Wireless’ consolidated results of operations only for periods subsequent to the completion of the merger.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger

To complete the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Numerex and Sierra Wireless must make and deliver certain filings, submissions and notices to obtain required authorizations, approvals, consents or expiration of waiting periods from U.S. governmental and regulatory bodies, antitrust and other regulatory authorities. Numerex and Sierra Wireless have each agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain clearance under the HSR Act and their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all other regulatory approvals necessary to complete the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Numerex and Sierra Wireless are not currently aware of any material governmental filings, authorizations, approvals or consents that are required prior to the parties’ completion of the merger other than those described in this proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance, however, if and when any of the approvals required to be obtained for the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement will be obtained or as to the conditions or limitations that such approvals may contain or impose.

HSR Act

The merger is subject to the requirements of the HSR Act, which prevents Numerex and Sierra Wireless from completing the merger until required information and materials are furnished to the FTC and the DOJ and specified waiting period requirements have been satisfied. Numerex and Sierra Wireless each filed a Pre-merger Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with the DOJ and FTC on September 22, 2017. Numerex and Sierra Wireless are continuing to work closely and cooperatively with the FTC in its review of the merger. On October 23, 2017, the merger was granted early termination of the waiting period pursuant to the HSR Act.

The FTC, the DOJ, state attorneys general, and others may challenge the merger on antitrust grounds either before or after the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period. Accordingly, at any time before or after completion of the merger, any of the FTC, the DOJ or other regulatory authorities could take action under the antitrust laws, including without limitation seeking to enjoin the completion of the merger or permitting completion subject to regulatory concessions or conditions. Neither Numerex nor Sierra Wireless believes that the merger violates federal or state antitrust laws, but there can be no assurance that a challenge to the merger on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if such a challenge is made, that it would not be successful.

Absence of Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

Appraisal or dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that enable stockholders to object to an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay such dissenting stockholders the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the merger consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Dissenters’ rights are not available in all circumstances and exceptions to those rights are set forth in the PBCL.

Under Section 1571 of the PBCL, stockholders of a corporation are not entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights if, on the record date fixed to determine stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of Numerex stockholders, shares of the corporation are either listed on a national securities exchange or

68

held beneficially or of record by more than 2,000 people. Because Numerex’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq, a national securities exchange, holders of Numerex common stock will not be entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights under the PBCL in connection with the merger.

If the merger agreement is adopted and the merger is completed, holders of Numerex common stock who voted against the adoption of the merger agreement will be treated the same as holders who voted for the adoption of the merger agreement and their shares will automatically be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration.

Litigation Relating to the Merger

Numerex and its board of directors are named as defendants in putative class action lawsuits filed by purported stockholders of Numerex that challenge the merger. The lawsuits were both filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia under the title Efrem Litwin v. Numerex Corp. et al, 17-cv-03893 and Anthony Franchi v. Numerex Corp. et al, 17-mi-99999. The complaints allege, among other things, that Numerex and its board of directors violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder by issuing or causing to be issued an allegedly materially misleading and incomplete preliminary proxy statement in connection with the merger. Sierra Wireless and Merger Sub are also named as defendants in the Franchi v. Numerex Corp. et al, 17-mi-99999 lawsuit, and that complaint alleges, among other things, that Sierra Wireless and Merger Sub violated Section 20(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Plaintiffs seek as relief, among other things, to preliminarily and permanently enjoin Numerex from consummating or closing the merger until such time as the alleged U.S. Exchange Act violations are remedied. Numerex and Sierra Wireless believe the actions are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.

Restrictions on Resales of Sierra Wireless Common Shares Received in the Merger

The Sierra Wireless common shares to be issued in connection with the merger will be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and will be freely transferable under the U.S. Securities Act, except for shares issued to any shareholder who may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of Sierra Wireless for purposes of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under the common control with Sierra Wireless and may include the executive officers, directors and significant shareholders of Sierra Wireless. This proxy statement/prospectus does not cover resale of Sierra Wireless common shares received by any person upon completion of the merger, and no person is authorized to make use of this proxy statement/prospectus in connection with any such resale.

Dividend Policy

Since incorporation, neither Sierra Wireless or Numerex have paid any dividends relating to the Sierra Wireless common shares or the Numerex common stock, respectively. It is not anticipated that Sierra Wireless or Numerex will pay any dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, during the period before the closing of the merger, neither Sierra Wireless nor Numerex is not permitted to pay any dividends or make any other distributions on its capital stock without the consent of the other party to the merger agreement.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders (as defined below) of Numerex common stock and the ownership and disposition of Sierra Wireless common shares received by such U.S. holders pursuant to the merger. This discussion is limited to such U.S. holders who hold their Numerex common stock, and will hold their Sierra Wireless common shares received

69

pursuant to the merger as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based on current provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial interpretations thereof and administrative rulings and published positions of the IRS, each as in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect, any of which changes could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein.

This discussion does not purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular U.S. holders of Numerex common stock in light of their particular facts and circumstances and does not apply to U.S. holders of Numerex common stock that are subject to special rules under the United States federal income tax laws (including, for example, banks or other financial institutions, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or other flow-through entities (and investors therein), subchapter S corporations, retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, U.S. holders liable for the alternative minimum tax, certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States, U.S. holders having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, U.S. holders who hold their shares of Numerex common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction, U.S. holders who will own at least 5% by vote or value of Numerex common stock (immediately prior to the merger) or of Sierra Wireless common shares (immediately after the merger), U.S. holders who acquired their shares of Numerex common stock through the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan), and non-U.S. holders (as defined below). This discussion does not address any considerations under U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any considerations under any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of Numerex common stock, or will own Sierra Wireless common shares received pursuant to the merger, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Persons that for U.S. federal income tax purposes are treated as partners in a partnership holding shares of Numerex common stock, or that will hold Sierra Wireless common shares received pursuant to the merger, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the merger and the ownership and disposition of Sierra Wireless common shares after the merger.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS OF NUMEREX COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SIERRA WIRELESS COMMON SHARES RECEIVED PURSUANT TO THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of Numerex common stock, or of Sierra Wireless common shares after the merger, that is, for United States federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any subdivision thereof;

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

• a trust (a) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to U.S. Holders of Numerex Common Stock

It is a condition to the completion of the merger that each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless receive an opinion of their respective counsel to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. It is expected that the merger will not result in gain recognition to the U.S. holders of Numerex common stock pursuant to Section 367(a) of the Code (assuming that, in the case of any such U.S. holder who would be treated as a “five-percent transferee shareholder” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(5)(ii)) of Sierra Wireless following the merger, such U.S. holder enters into a five-year gain recognition agreement in the form provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8). Neither Numerex nor Sierra Wireless intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the Intended Tax Treatment or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

If, at the effective time of the merger, any requirement for the merger to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment is not satisfied, a U.S. holder of Numerex common stock would recognize gain (but may not be able to recognize loss) in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Sierra Wireless common shares and the amount of cash in lieu of fractional Sierra Wireless common shares received in the merger over such holder’s tax basis in the Numerex common stock surrendered. Gain must be calculated separately for each block of Numerex common stock exchanged by such U.S. holder if such blocks were acquired at different times or for different prices. Any gain so recognized generally would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder’s holding period in a particular block of Numerex common stock exceeds one year at the effective time of the merger. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) currently is eligible for preferential United States federal income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. holder’s holding period in Sierra Wireless common shares received in the merger would begin on the day following the merger.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that the merger will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment.

A U.S. holder receiving Sierra Wireless common shares in exchange for Numerex common stock pursuant to the merger will not recognize any gain or loss, except for any gain or loss that may result from the receipt by such U.S. holder of cash in lieu of fractional Sierra Wireless common shares (as discussed below). The U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Sierra Wireless common shares received in the merger (including any fractional Sierra Wireless common shares deemed received and redeemed as described below) will be equal to the U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Numerex common stock surrendered, and the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Sierra Wireless common shares received in the merger (including any fractional Sierra Wireless common shares deemed received and redeemed as described below) will include the U.S. holder’s holding period of the Numerex common stock surrendered.

Where a U.S. holder acquired different blocks of Numerex common stock at different times and at different prices, such U.S. holder’s tax basis and holding period of such common stock may be determined with reference to each block of common stock.

Cash in Lieu of Fractional Sierra Wireless Common Shares

A U.S. holder of Numerex common stock who receives cash in lieu of a fractional Sierra Wireless common share in the merger generally will be treated as having received such fractional Sierra Wireless common share in the merger and then as having received cash in redemption of such fractional Sierra Wireless common share. Gain or loss generally will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional Sierra Wireless common share and the portion of the U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Numerex common stock surrendered which is allocable to the fractional Sierra Wireless common share. This gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the

71

Numerex common stock is more than one year at the effective time of the merger. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) currently is eligible for preferential U.S. federal income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting on the Merger

Payments of cash made to a U.S. holder (other than U.S. holders that are exempt recipients, such as corporations) will be subject to information reporting. In addition, U.S. federal “backup withholding” may apply to such cash payments unless the U.S. holder of Numerex common stock:

• provides a correct taxpayer identification number and any other required information to the exchange agent, or

• is a corporation or comes within certain exempt categories and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding does not constitute an additional tax, but rather an advance payment of tax, which may be allowed as a refund or credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is supplied to the IRS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of Owning and Disposing of Sierra Wireless Common Shares Received in the Merger

Dividends

Under the U.S. federal income tax laws, and subject to the passive foreign investment company, which we refer to as “PFIC,” rules discussed below, if you are a U.S. holder, the gross amount of any dividend Sierra Wireless pays out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is subject to U.S. federal income taxation. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of your basis in the Sierra Wireless common shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, Sierra Wireless does not expect to calculate earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Accordingly, you should expect to generally treat distributions made by Sierra Wireless as dividends.

If you are an individual or other non-corporate U.S. holder, dividends that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable to you at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that Sierra Wireless is not a PFIC in the taxable year of the dividend or the preceding taxable year and you meet certain holding period requirements. Dividends Sierra Wireless pays with respect to Sierra Wireless common shares generally will be qualified dividend income. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.

You must include any tax withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though you do not in fact receive it. The dividend is taxable to you when you receive the dividend, actually or constructively. The amount of the dividend distribution that you must include in your income as a U.S. holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollar payments made, determined at the spot Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution is includible in your income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date you include the dividend payment in income to the date you convert the payment into U.S. dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. Such foreign exchange gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

72

Subject to certain limitations, Canadian tax withheld in accordance with the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended (which we refer to as the “Treaty”), and paid over to Canada will be creditable or deductible against your U.S. federal income tax liability. Special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends that are subject to the preferential tax rates. To the extent a refund of the tax withheld is available to you under Canadian law or under the Treaty, the amount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible for credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability.

Dividends will be income from sources outside the United States and will, depending on your circumstances, generally be considered “passive” income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to you. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and involve the application of rules that depend upon a U.S. holder’s particular circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Capital Gains

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, if you are a U.S. holder and you sell or otherwise dispose of your Sierra Wireless common shares in a taxable disposition, you will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount that you realize and your tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in your Sierra Wireless common shares. Capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

PFIC Rules

Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to U.S. persons owning stock of a PFIC. A foreign corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) 50% or more of the value (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) of its assets are considered “passive assets” (generally, assets that generate passive income).

Sierra Wireless believes that Sierra Wireless common shares should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but this conclusion is a factual determination that is made annually and thus may be subject to change. If Sierra Wireless were to be treated as a PFIC, gain realized on the sale or other disposition of your Sierra Wireless common shares would not be treated as capital gain. Instead, unless you elect to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to your Sierra Wireless common shares, you would be treated as if you had realized such gain and certain “excess distributions” ratably over your holding period for the Sierra Wireless common shares and would generally be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, together with an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year. With certain exceptions, your Sierra Wireless common shares would be treated as stock in a PFIC if Sierra Wireless were a PFIC at any time during your holding period in your Sierra Wireless common shares.

Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets

Owners of “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold) may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” include financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in foreign entities. U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of this reporting requirement to their ownership of the Sierra Wireless common shares.

73

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

If you are a noncorporate U.S. holder, information reporting requirements generally will apply to dividend payments or other taxable distributions made to you within the United States, and the payment of proceeds to you from the sale of Sierra Wireless common shares effected in the United States or through a U.S. office of a broker.

In addition, backup withholding may apply to such payments if you fail to comply with applicable certification requirements or are notified by the IRS that you have failed to report all interest and dividends required to be shown on your federal income tax returns.

Payment of the proceeds from the sale of Sierra Wireless common shares effected through a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, a sale effected through a foreign office of a broker could be subject to information reporting in the same manner as a sale within the United States (and in certain cases may be subject to backup withholding as well) if (i) the broker has certain connections to the United States, (ii) the proceeds or confirmation are sent to the United States or (iii) the sale has certain other specified connections with the United States.

You generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules that exceed your income tax liability by filing a refund claim with the IRS.

This discussion does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, individual circumstances. Moreover, it only addresses U.S. federal income tax and does not address any non-income tax or any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences. You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger and the ownership of Sierra Wireless common shares in light of your particular situation, as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

This summary is based on the description of the merger set out in this proxy statement/prospectus, the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, and an understanding of the current administrative policies and practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (which we refer to as the “CRA”) published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (which we refer to as the “proposed amendments”) and assumes that all proposed amendments will be enacted in the form proposed; however, no assurances can be given that the proposed amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, administrative or judicial action, nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein. On July 18, 2017, the Minister of Finance (Canada) released a consultation paper that included an announcement of the Government’s intention to amend the Canadian Tax Act to increase the amount of tax applicable to passive investment income earned through a private corporation. No specific amendments to the Canadian Tax Act were proposed in connection with this announcement. Holders that are private Canadian corporations should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to the merger. The income and other tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities will vary depending on a holder’s particular status and circumstances, including the country, province or territory in which the holder resides or carries on business. This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder. No representations are made with respect to the income tax consequences to any particular holder. Holders should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the income tax consequences of the merger in their particular circumstances, including the application and effect of the income and other tax laws of any applicable country, province, state or local tax authority.

74

This summary does not discuss any non-Canadian income or other tax consequences of the merger. Holders resident or subject to taxation in a jurisdiction other than Canada should be aware that the merger may have tax consequences both in Canada and in such other jurisdiction. Such consequences are not described herein. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances and the tax considerations applicable to them.

Application

The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations in respect of the merger generally applicable under the Canadian Tax Act to a beneficial owner of Numerex common stock who disposes, or is deemed to have disposed, of Numerex common stock pursuant to the merger and who, for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and at all relevant times, (i) deals at arm’s length with and is not affiliated with Sierra Wireless, Merger Sub or Numerex; and (ii) holds all Numerex common stock, and will hold all Sierra Wireless common shares acquired pursuant to the merger (which we refer to, collectively, in this portion of the summary as the “Securities”) as capital property (which we each refer to in this portion of the summary as a “Holder”). Generally, the Securities will be considered to be capital property to a Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act provided that the Holder does not use or hold those Securities in the course of carrying on a business and has not acquired such Securities in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary is not applicable to a Holder: (i) that is a “financial institution” for the purposes of the “mark-to-market property” rules, (ii) that is a “specified financial institution,” (iii) an interest in which would be a “tax shelter investment,” (iv) that has elected to determine its “Canadian tax results” in a currency other than Canadian currency pursuant to the functional currency reporting rules, (v) that has entered or will enter into, in respect of any Securities, a “derivative forward agreement” or a “synthetic disposition arrangement,” or (vi) in respect of which Numerex is a “foreign affiliate,” all within the meaning of the Canadian Tax Act. Any such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the particular Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of the merger. This summary does not address issues relevant to stockholders who acquired their Numerex common stock on the exercise of an employee stock option or other employee incentive award. Such stockholders should consult their own tax advisors.

Canadian Currency

For the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, where an amount that is relevant in computing a taxpayer’s “Canadian tax results” is expressed in a currency other than Canadian dollars, the amount must be converted to Canadian dollars using the single daily exchange rate quoted by the Bank of Canada for the day on which the amount arose, or such other rate of exchange as is acceptable to the CRA.

Holders Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times and for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, is or is deemed to be resident in Canada (which we refer to in this portion of the summary as a “Canadian Resident Holder”). A Canadian Resident Holder whose Sierra Wireless common shares would not otherwise be capital property may be entitled to file an election under subsection 39(4) of the Canadian Tax Act to treat the Sierra Wireless common shares and any other “Canadian securities” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) owned by such Canadian Resident Holder as capital property. This election will not apply to any Numerex common stock held by such Canadian Resident Holder. Canadian Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to whether this election is available and advisable in their particular circumstances.

Disposition of Numerex Common Stock

A Canadian Resident Holder who disposes of Numerex common stock pursuant to the merger agreement will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of

75

disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Canadian Resident Holder of its Numerex common stock, determined immediately before the disposition. The proceeds of disposition to the Canadian Resident Holder will be equal to the sum of the aggregate fair market value of the Sierra Wireless common shares received on the disposition and any cash received in lieu of a fractional Sierra Wireless common share. For a description of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses, see the section entitled “—Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

The cost to a Canadian Resident Holder of Sierra Wireless common shares received by that Canadian Resident Holder will be equal to their fair market value at the time they are acquired by such Canadian Resident Holder. For purposes of determining the adjusted cost base of Sierra Wireless common shares, the cost of the Sierra Wireless common shares acquired must be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all other Sierra Wireless common shares held by the Canadian Resident Holder as capital property.

Dividends on Sierra Wireless Common Shares (Post-Merger)

A Canadian Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) will be required to include in income any dividends received or deemed to be received on the Sierra Wireless common shares, and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to any dividends designated by Sierra Wireless as “eligible dividends” as defined in the Canadian Tax Act. Dividends received or deemed to be received by an individual and certain trusts may give rise to a liability for minimum tax under the Canadian Tax Act.

A Canadian Resident Holder that is a corporation will be required to include in income any dividend received or deemed to be received on its Sierra Wireless common shares, and generally will be entitled to deduct an equivalent amount in computing its taxable income, subject to certain limitations in the Canadian Tax Act. A “private corporation” or a “subject corporation” (each as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) may be liable under Part IV of the Canadian Tax Act to pay an additional refundable tax on any dividend that it receives or is deemed to receive on its Sierra Wireless common shares to the extent that the dividend is deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income. A holder of Sierra Wireless common shares that is, throughout the year, a “Canadian-controlled private corporation,” as defined in the Canadian Tax Act, may be subject to an additional refundable tax on its “aggregate investment income” which is defined to include dividends that are not deductible in computing taxable income. Subsection 55(2) of the Canadian Tax Act provides that, where certain corporate holders of shares receive a dividend or deemed dividend in specified circumstances, all or part of such dividend may be treated as proceeds of disposition or as a capital gain from the disposition of capital property and not as a dividend. For a description of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses, see the section entitled “—Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Disposition of Sierra Wireless Common Shares (Post-Merger)

A Canadian Resident Holder that disposes or is deemed to dispose of a Sierra Wireless common share after the merger will recognize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Sierra Wireless common share exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the Canadian Resident Holder of such Sierra Wireless common share, determined immediately before the disposition, and any reasonable costs of disposition. For a description of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses, see the section entitled “—Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, one-half of any capital gain realized by a Canadian Resident Holder in a taxation year will be included in computing the Canadian Resident Holder’s income in that taxation year as a taxable capital gain and, generally, one-half of any capital loss realized in a taxation year (which we refer to as an “allowable capital

76

loss”) must be deducted from the taxable capital gains realized by the Canadian Resident Holder in the same taxation year, in accordance with the rules contained in the Canadian Tax Act. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized by a Canadian Resident Holder in a particular taxation year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized by the Canadian Resident Holder in such taxation year, subject to and in accordance with the rules contained in the Canadian Tax Act.

Capital gains realized by an individual and certain trusts may give rise to a liability for minimum tax under the Canadian Tax Act. A Canadian Resident Holder that is, throughout the year, a “Canadian-controlled private corporation,” as defined in the Canadian Tax Act, may be subject to an additional refundable tax on its “aggregate investment income” which is defined to include taxable capital gains.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Canadian Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Sierra Wireless common share may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to be received by it on such share (or on a share for which the share has been substituted) to the extent and under the circumstances prescribed by the Canadian Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns shares, directly or indirectly through a partnership or a trust. Canadian Resident Holders to whom these rules may apply should consult their own tax advisors.

Eligibility for Investment

Based on the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and subject to the provision of any particular plan, provided that the Sierra Wireless common shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange,” within the meaning of the Canadian Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX), the Sierra Wireless common shares will be qualified investments under the Canadian Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan (which we refer to as “RRSP”), a registered retirement income fund (which we refer to as “RRIF”), a registered disability savings plan (which we refer to as “RDSP”), a registered education savings plan (which we refer to as “RESP”), a tax-free savings account (which we refer to as “TFSA”) or a deferred profit sharing plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Sierra Wireless common shares are “prohibited investments,” within the meaning of the Canadian Tax Act, for a particular RRSP, RRIF, or TFSA, the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF or the holder of the TFSA, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax under the Canadian Tax Act. The Sierra Wireless common shares will generally not be a “prohibited investment” for these purposes unless the annuitant under the RRSP or RRIF or the holder of the TFSA, as applicable, (i) does not deal at arm’s length with Sierra Wireless for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, or (ii) has a “significant interest,” as defined in the Canadian Tax Act, in Sierra Wireless. In addition, the Sierra Wireless common shares will generally not be a “prohibited investment” if the Sierra Wireless common shares are “excluded property” for purposes of the prohibited investment rules for an RRSP, RRIF or TFSA. Pursuant to proposed amendments released on March 22, 2017, the rules with respect to “prohibited instruments” are proposed to apply to (i) RESPs and subscribers thereof and (ii) RDSPs and holders thereof.

Holders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times and for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, is not, and is not deemed to be, a resident of Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, Numerex common stock and will not use or hold, or be deemed to use or hold, Sierra Wireless common shares in a business carried on in Canada (which we refer to in this portion of the summary as a “Non-Canadian Resident Holder”). This portion of the summary is not generally applicable to a Non-Canadian Resident Holder that is: (i) an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or (ii) an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act).

77

The following portion of the summary assumes that neither Numerex common stock nor Sierra Wireless common shares will constitute “taxable Canadian property” to any particular Non-Canadian Resident Holder at any time. Generally, Numerex common stock or Sierra Wireless common shares, as the case may be, will not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Non-Canadian Resident Holder at a particular time provided that the applicable shares are listed at that time on a designated stock exchange (which includes the Nasdaq and the TSX), unless at any particular time during the 60-month period that ends at that time (i) one or any combination of (a) the Non-Canadian Resident Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Canadian Resident Holder does not deal at arm’s length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Canadian Resident Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of Numerex or Sierra Wireless, as the case may be, and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of Numerex common stock or Sierra Wireless common shares, as the case may be, was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of: (A) real or immovable properties situated in Canada, (B) “Canadian resource properties” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), (C) “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), and (D) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any of the foregoing property whether or not the property exists. In certain circumstances set out in the Canadian Tax Act, shares which are not otherwise “taxable Canadian property” may be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property.”

Disposition Pursuant to the Merger

A Non-Canadian Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition of Numerex common stock, unless the shares are “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Holder and the shares are not “treaty-protected property” of the Non-Canadian Resident Holder, each within the meaning of the Canadian Tax Act.

Non-Canadian Resident Holders whose Numerex common stock is taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors for advice regarding their particular circumstances, including whether their Numerex common stock constitutes treaty-protected property.

Dividends on Sierra Wireless Common Shares (Post-Merger)

Dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on Sierra Wireless common shares to a Non-Canadian Resident Holder generally will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend, unless the rate is reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the Non-Canadian Resident Holder’s jurisdiction of residence. For example, the rate of withholding tax under the Treaty applicable to a Non-Canadian Resident Holder who is a resident of the United States for the purposes of the Treaty, is the beneficial owner of the dividend and is entitled to all of the benefits under the Treaty, generally will be 15%. Sierra Wireless will be required to withhold the required amount of withholding tax from the dividend, and to remit it to the CRA for the account of the Non-Canadian Resident Holder.

Disposition of Sierra Wireless Common Shares (Post-Merger)

A Non-Canadian Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition of Sierra Wireless common shares, unless the shares are “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Canadian Resident Holder and the shares are not “treaty-protected property” of the Non-Canadian Resident Holder, each within the meaning of the Canadian Tax Act.

Non-Canadian Resident Holders whose Sierra Wireless common shares are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors for advice regarding their particular circumstances, including whether their Sierra Wireless common shares constitute treaty-protected property.

78

THE ADVISORY COMPENSATION PROPOSAL

As required by Section 14A of the U.S. Exchange Act and the applicable SEC rules promulgated thereunder, Numerex is providing its stockholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding, advisory vote at the special meeting to approve the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Numerex’s named executive officers in connection with the merger. This compensation is summarized in the table in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” including the footnotes to the table. This non-binding, advisory proposal relates only to the existing contractual obligations of Numerex (including arrangements that may only become effective if the merger is consummated) that may result in a payment to Numerex’s named executive officers in connection with the consummation of the merger and does not relate to any new compensation or other arrangements entered into in connection with or following the merger.

As a non-binding, advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon Numerex, Numerex’s board of directors or Sierra Wireless Sierra Wireless’ board of directors, and approval of this proposal is not a condition to completion of the merger. The vote on the advisory compensation proposal is a vote separate and apart from the vote on the merger proposal. Accordingly, you may vote to approve the merger proposal and vote not to approve the advisory compensation proposal and vice versa. Further, the underlying plans and agreements are contractual in nature and not, by their terms, subject to stockholder approval. Accordingly, if the merger agreement is adopted and the merger is completed, the compensation will be made payable, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, regardless of the outcome of the advisory (non-binding) vote of Numerex stockholders. However, Numerex and Sierra Wireless value the opinions of Numerex stockholders and Sierra Wireless expects to consider the outcome of the vote, along with other relevant factors, when considering future executive compensation, assuming the merger is completed.

The approval of the advisory compensation proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock that are present at the special meeting, in person or by proxy, and are entitled to vote at the special meeting.

The Numerex board of directors encourages you to review carefully the compensation information disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Numerex board of directors unanimously recommends that Numerex’s stockholders approve the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Numerex Corp. hereby approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation payments, which will or may be made to Numerex Corp.’s named executive officers in connection with the merger, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal—Interests of Numerex’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” including the footnotes to the table of Numerex’s proxy statement for the special meeting.”

The Numerex board of directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the advisory compensation proposal.

79

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Numerex stockholders are being asked to approve a proposal that will give the Numerex board of directors authority to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger proposal.

If the adjournment proposal is approved, the special meeting could be adjourned to any date. If the special meeting is adjourned, Numerex stockholders who have already submitted their proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use. If you sign and return a proxy and do not indicate how you wish to vote on the adjournment proposal, your shares of Numerex common stock will be voted in favor of the adjournment proposal.

The approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock that are present at the special meeting, in person or by proxy, and are entitled to vote on the adjournment proposal.

The Numerex board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the adjournment proposal.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The summary of the material provisions of the merger agreement below and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not provide all of the information about the merger agreement that might be important to you. You are urged to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety because it is the legal document that governs the merger.

Explanatory Note Regarding the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement and this summary are included solely to provide you with information regarding its terms. The representations, warranties and covenants made in the merger agreement by Sierra Wireless, Numerex and Merger Sub were made solely for the purposes of the merger agreement and as of specific dates and were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by Sierra Wireless, Numerex and Merger Sub in connection with negotiating the terms of the merger agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purposes of establishing the circumstances in which a party to the merger agreement may have the right to not complete the merger if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue, and allocating risk between the parties to the merger agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders and reports and documents filed or furnished with or to the SEC or on SEDAR, are qualified by certain matters contained in certain reports publicly filed or furnished with or to the SEC and on SEDAR, and in some cases were qualified by the matters contained in the respective confidential disclosure letters that Numerex and Sierra Wireless delivered to each other in connection with the merger agreement, which disclosures were not included in the merger agreement attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since the date of the merger agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties and other provisions of the merger agreement should not be read alone, but instead should be read together with the information provided elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, and reports, statements and filings that Numerex and Sierra Wireless file or furnish with or to the SEC and Sierra Wireless files on SEDAR from time to time. For more information, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

The Merger

The merger agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement and in accordance with the provisions of the PBCL, at the effective time, Merger Sub, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless, will merge with and into Numerex and, as a result, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and Numerex will continue as the surviving corporation in the merger, becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless.

The completion of the merger will occur no later than the third business day after all of the closing conditions set forth in the merger agreement are satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), or at such other time as Numerex and Sierra Wireless agree in writing. For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions that Must Be Satisfied or Waived for the Merger to Occur.” The merger will become effective as of the date and time specified in the statement of merger filed with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

83

Effects of the Merger

Merger Sub

The merger agreement provides that the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time will serve as the directors of the surviving corporation in the merger following the effective time, and the officers of Numerex immediately prior to the effective time will serve as the officers of the surviving corporation in the merger following the effective time. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time will serve as the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation in the merger following the effective time.

Sierra Wireless Governance and Other Matters

The merger agreement does not contemplate any changes to Sierra Wireless’ current board of directors. Information about Sierra Wireless’ current board of directors is incorporated herein by reference from Sierra Wireless’ Notice of 2017 Annual General Meeting and Management Information Circular, furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K on April 20, 2017.

Merger Consideration

At the effective time, by virtue of the merger and without any action on the part of the parties to the merger agreement or any Numerex stockholder, each share of Numerex common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (including Numerex common stock resulting from the deemed exercise of the Numerex Warrants and Numerex options, and the settlement of Numerex RSUs, and other than shares of Numerex common stock held directly or indirectly by Numerex, Sierra Wireless or any of their respective subsidiaries), will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.1800 of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Sierra Wireless common share (which we refer to as the “merger consideration”).

The merger consideration will be equitably adjusted to provide Numerex stockholders and Sierra Wireless the same economic effect as contemplated by the merger agreement in the event of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger or other similar transaction involving Numerex common stock or Sierra Wireless common shares prior to the completion of the merger.

No Fractional Shares

No fractional Sierra Wireless common shares will be issued upon the conversion of Numerex common stock. All fractional Sierra Wireless common shares that a holder of eligible shares would be otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to the merger agreement will be aggregated and rounded to three decimal places. Any holder of eligible shares otherwise entitled to receive a fractional Sierra Wireless common share will be entitled to receive a cash payment, without interest, in lieu of any such fractional share, which payment will be calculated by the exchange agent and will represent such holder’s proportionate interest in a Sierra Wireless common share based on the closing trading price of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM, as reported by the Nasdaq GM on the first day immediately following the effective time. No holder of eligible shares will be entitled by virtue of the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional Sierra Wireless common shares to any dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional Sierra Wireless common share.

Surrender of Numerex Common Stock

Prior to the effective time, Sierra Wireless, at its sole expense, will designate a nationally recognized financial institution or trust company acceptable to Numerex (which we refer to as the “exchange agent”) for the purpose of exchanging the Numerex common stock certificates (which we refer to as the “Numerex certificates”) and the shares of Numerex common stock represented by book-entry (which we refer to as the “Numerex book-entry shares”) for the merger consideration.

84

At or promptly after the effective time, Sierra Wireless will authorize the exchange agent to issue certificates, or at Sierra Wireless’ option, evidence of shares in book-entry form, representing the shares of Sierra Wireless common shares equal to the aggregate merger consideration for the sole benefit of the former holders of shares of Numerex common stock.

Promptly after the effective time, Sierra Wireless will instruct the exchange agent to mail to each holder of record of a Numerex certificate or a Numerex book-entry share and whose shares of Numerex common stock each were converted into the right to receive the merger consideration a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Numerex common stock in exchange for the merger consideration.

Upon surrender to the exchange agent of a Numerex certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or a Numerex book-entry share for cancellation, in accordance with the terms of the transmittal materials and instructions, the holder of such Numerex certificate or Numerex book-entry share will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable merger consideration for each share of the Numerex common stock formerly represented by such Numerex certificate or Numerex book-entry share, to be delivered within 10 business days following the later to occur of (x) the effective time or (y) the exchange agent’s receipt of a duly executed letter of transmittal and such Numerex certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Numerex book-entry share, and the Numerex certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Numerex book-entry share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled.

If registration of the merger consideration is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Numerex certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of such registration that (A) the Numerex certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and (B) the person requesting such registration shall have paid any transfer and other similar taxes or shall have established to the satisfaction of Sierra Wireless that such tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Registration of the applicable merger consideration with respect to Numerex book-entry share will only be made to the person in whose name such Numerex book-entry share are registered. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash amount payable upon surrender of the Numerex certificate or the Numerex book-entry share.

If any Numerex certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Numerex certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the applicable merger consideration payable in respect thereof; provided that Sierra Wireless may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Numerex certificate to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Sierra Wireless may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Sierra Wireless, the surviving corporation or the exchange agent with respect to the Numerex certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Withholding

Each of Sierra Wireless, Numerex, the surviving corporation and the exchange agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable under the merger agreement to any person, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold by applicable law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Sierra Wireless, Numerex, the surviving corporation or the exchange agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of the merger agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Treatment of Numerex Equity Awards

Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. At the effective time, each outstanding In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR, will become fully vested and will be automatically cancelled and extinguished in exchange for the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the effective time, a number of Sierra Wireless common shares

85

for each such Numerex option and Numerex SAR determined by dividing (i) the excess of (x) the exchange ratio multiplied by the volume weighted average price of a Sierra Wireless common share on the Nasdaq GM for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day on which the effective time occurs minus (y) the per-share exercise price for the shares of Numerex common stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR, as the case may be, by (ii) the volume weighted average price of a Sierra Wireless common share on the Nasdaq GM for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day on which the effective time occurs, and rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share. Each Numerex option and Numerex SAR that is not an In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR, as applicable, whether vested or unvested, will automatically be cancelled and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Numerex common stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor.

Sierra Wireless will pay to each holder of In-the-Money Options or In-the-Money SARs cash in lieu of fractional shares to which such holder would be entitled; provided that the calculation of the amount of such fractional shares shall be determined on an aggregate basis taking into account all In-the-Money Options and In-the-Money SARs held by such holder.

Restricted Stock Units. At the effective time, each outstanding restricted stock unit denominated in Numerex RSU whether vested or unvested, will automatically vest in full and any restrictions thereon will lapse. Each such Numerex RSU shall be cancelled and the holder of a Numerex RSU will be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable (but no later than 15 calendar days) following the effective time, (i) a number of Sierra Wireless common shares equal to 0.1800 multiplied by the number of shares of Numerex common stock represented by each such Numerex RSU and (ii) any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to any Numerex RSU.

Warrants. Subject to certain exceptions, not less than seven business days prior to the closing of the merger, Numerex will provide written notice to all holders of each outstanding unexercised Numerex Warrant, which notice shall include such reasonable information as a holder of a Numerex Warrant may reasonably require regarding the treatment of a Numerex Warrant in connection with the closing of the merger and which notice shall otherwise be provided in accordance with the terms of each applicable Numerex Warrant agreement. If, upon receiving notice of the closing of the merger, a holder exercises its Numerex Warrant in accordance with its terms, then such Numerex Warrant will be (i) deemed exercised immediately prior to and contingent upon the closing of the merger and (ii) cancelled and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable (but no later than 15 calendar days) following the effective time, in consideration of the exercise and cancellation of such Numerex Warrant and in settlement therefor, in lieu of the Numerex common stock immediately issuable upon exercise of the Numerex Warrant, the number of Sierra Wireless common shares equal to the exchange ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Numerex common stock issuable upon the exercise of such Numerex Warrant had the Numerex Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. If, upon receiving notice of the closing of the merger, a holder does not exercise its Numerex Warrant in accordance with its terms, then such Numerex Warrant will (i) expire immediately prior to the consummation of the merger and (ii) cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Numerex common stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor.

With regard to the warrant issued to Hale Capital on June 7, 2017, entitling the holder thereof to the Hale Warrant, Numerex, Sierra Wireless and Hale Capital have entered into the Hale Agreement, under which and in accordance with the terms of the Hale Warrant, Numerex will purchase the Hale Warrant from Hale Capital for the amount of $4,000,000, following which the Hale Warrant will be cancelled.

Covenants Regarding Conduct of Business by Sierra Wireless Pending the Merger

Sierra Wireless has agreed to certain covenants in the merger agreement restricting the conduct of its business between the date of the merger agreement and the earlier of the effective time of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement. Specifically, except as required or permitted by the merger agreement, required by applicable law or consented to in writing by Numerex (with any such request for consent to be given good faith consideration by Numerex), from the date of the merger agreement until the earlier of the effective time or the termination of the merger agreement with certain exceptions, Sierra Wireless has agreed not to do, cause or permit any of the following:

• amend its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, in each case, in a manner that would be reasonably expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Sierra Wireless to consummate the merger or otherwise be adverse to the holders of Numerex common stock;

• declare or pay any dividend on or make any other distribution (whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of any of Sierra Wireless’ capital stock;

• split, combine or reclassify any of its capital stock;

• adopt any resolution, plan or arrangement for liquidation, dissolution or winding-up;

• take any action or knowingly fail to take any action where such action or failure to act could reasonably be expected to prevent the merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code;

• fail to timely file any report required to be filed with the applicable Canadian Securities Regulatory Authorities, the SEC, the TSX or the Nasdaq GM, in each case, prior to the closing of the merger;

• act in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation by Sierra Wireless of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; or

• agree in writing or otherwise to take any of the foregoing actions.

No Solicitation

Numerex has agreed that Numerex and its subsidiaries will, and will cause Numerex’s and their officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents or advisors (including any investment banker, broker, attorney, accountant or consultant) or other authorized representatives to:

• immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any persons (other than the parties to the merger agreement) conducted prior to or on the date of the merger agreement with respect to any acquisition proposal or any existing discussion that could reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal;

• immediately request, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, any person (and such person’s representatives), other than Sierra Wireless and its representatives, with which Numerex has engaged in any such activities within the 18 month period preceding the date of the merger agreement to promptly return or destroy all non-public information previously provided to such person (and such person’s representatives); and

• immediately terminate access for anyone other than Numerex, Sierra Wireless and Merger Sub and their respective representatives to any data rooms of Numerex.

Except as described in the merger agreement, Numerex (including the Numerex board of directors or any committee thereof) has agreed, from the time of the execution of the merger agreement until the earlier of the effective time of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms, that it and

93

any of its subsidiaries will not, and will not authorize or permit any of their respective representatives to, and shall cause their respective representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

• solicit, initiate, encourage or knowingly facilitate or induce the making, submission or public announcement of an acquisition proposal, or the making of any inquiry, offer or proposal that would constitute or would reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal or the making or consummation thereof;

• furnish to any third person any non-public information relating to Numerex or any of its subsidiaries, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of Numerex or any of its subsidiaries to any third person, in each case, in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating an acquisition proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal;

• engage in, enter into, participate in, maintain or continue any communications or negotiations regarding an acquisition proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal, except to notify such person of the existence of these provisions;

• agree to, accept, approve, endorse or recommend (or publicly propose or announce any intention or desire to agree to, accept, approve, endorse or recommend) any acquisition proposal or submit any acquisition proposal to the vote of any securityholders of Numerex or any of its subsidiaries;

• enter into any commitment, agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet or any other agreement, understanding or contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any acquisition proposal or enter into any agreement, contract, understanding or commitment to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the merger; and

• resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, if, prior to the approval and adoption of the merger agreement by Numerex stockholders, Numerex receives an unsolicited, written, bona fide acquisition proposal that the Numerex board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with Numerex’s outside legal and financial advisors of national standing) is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a “Superior Proposal,” then Numerex may enter into discussions with, or deliver or make available any non-public information regarding Numerex and its subsidiaries to any person making such acquisition proposal; provided that that substantially concurrently (and in any event within 24 hours) Numerex delivers or makes available to Sierra Wireless such information to the extent such information was not previously made available to Sierra Wireless; provided, further, that, in each such case, Numerex, its subsidiaries and its representatives comply with each of the following:

• none of Numerex, its subsidiaries and their respective representatives shall have violated any of the non-solicitation provisions of the merger agreement;

• prior to furnishing any material non-public information to any person, Numerex receives from the person making any acquisition proposal an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to Numerex than that certain confidentiality agreement, dated as of September 9, 2016, between Numerex and Sierra Wireless;

• the Numerex board of directors determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to deliver or make available such information or engage in such discussions would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary obligations to Numerex’s stockholders under applicable law; and

• Numerex provides written notice to Sierra Wireless immediately after any such determination by the Numerex board of directors and before Numerex enters into discussions with, or delivers or makes available any non-public information to any person making such acquisition proposal.

94

In addition, from and after the date of the merger agreement, Numerex will promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Sierra Wireless orally and in writing of the receipt of such acquisition proposal, and (i) if it is in writing, deliver to Sierra Wireless a copy of such acquisition proposal and any related draft agreements and other written material relating to such acquisition proposal or (ii) if oral, communicate to Sierra Wireless the material terms and conditions of such acquisition proposal, including, in each case, the identity of the person making such acquisition proposal. Numerex will keep Sierra Wireless reasonably informed on a current basis (but in any event within 24 hours of any such change) of the status and material terms of, and any material amendments, changes or modifications or proposed material amendments or modifications to, any such acquisition proposal (or the status thereof).

An “acquisition proposal” means any bona fide inquiry, offer, proposal, or indication of interest, or any public announcement of intention to make any offer, inquiry, proposal or indication of interest, relating to any transaction, or series of related transactions, involving:

• (i) any acquisition or purchase by any person or “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the U.S. Exchange Act, directly or indirectly, of (A) securities representing 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of Numerex or any of its subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 25% or more of Numerex’s consolidated assets, or any tender or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person or group beneficially owning 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of Numerex;

• (ii) any merger, consolidation, division, business combination or similar transaction involving Numerex or any of its subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 25% or more of Numerex’s consolidated assets, pursuant to which Numerex stockholders immediately preceding such transaction hold securities representing less than 75% of the outstanding voting power of the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction (or parent entity of such surviving or resulting entity); or

• (iii) a sale or other disposition in a transaction or series of transactions by Numerex or any of its subsidiaries of assets representing (A) 25% or more of the aggregate fair market value of the assets of Numerex and its subsidiaries or (B) 25% or more of the consolidated net revenues, consolidated net income or consolidated book value of Numerex and its subsidiaries, immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions, in each case, other than the merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby.

A “Superior Proposal” means any unsolicited, bona fide written acquisition proposal submitted after the date of the merger agreement, which (i) is not subject to a financing condition, (ii) is on terms that the Numerex board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith (following consultation with Numerex’s outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor, in each case of national standing), taking into account, among other things, all legal, financial, regulatory, timing and other aspects of such acquisition proposal are more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Numerex and Numerex stockholders than the terms of the merger (after giving effect to any adjustments to the terms of the merger agreement proposed by Sierra Wireless in response to such acquisition proposal) and (iii) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms on a timely basis, taking into account all legal, regulatory and financial aspects (including the certainty of closing and the availability of financing) and the ability of such third party to consummate the transactions contemplated by such acquisition proposal; provided that for purposes of the definition of Superior Proposal, the references to “twenty five percent (25%)” in the definition of acquisition proposal shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%).”

95

Changes in the Numerex Board of Directors Recommendation

The Numerex board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) has agreed, subject to certain exceptions summarized below, not to make an “adverse recommendation change,” which means Numerex has agreed not to:

• withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Sierra Wireless or Merger Sub, its board recommendation that Numerex stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement at the special meeting (which we refer to as the “board recommendation”);

• approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse or recommend to the Numerex stockholders an acquisition proposal;

• fail to publicly recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for Numerex common stock within 10 business days after commencement of such offer or against any acquisition proposal (provided that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Numerex board of directors pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the U.S. Exchange Act shall not be deemed to be an adverse recommendation change unless and until the Numerex board of directors fails to reconfirm the board recommendation within 10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer);

• fail to publicly reaffirm the board recommendation, in each case, within five business days after Sierra Wireless so requests in writing;

• enter into any definitive agreement providing for an acquisition proposal; or

• resolve or publicly propose to take any action described in the foregoing clauses.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, the Numerex board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may (i) make an adverse recommendation change in response to (i) make an adverse recommendation change in response to intervening event that the Numerex board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with Numerex’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor) would be reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary obligations to Numerex and Numerex stockholders under applicable law, (ii) make an adverse recommendation change in response to Numerex’s receipt of an unsolicited, written, bona fide acquisition proposal that the Numerex board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal, or (iii) if Numerex has complied, in all material respects, with the non-solicitation provisions of the merger agreement, cause Numerex to terminate the merger agreement and cause Numerex to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for such Superior Proposal, if and only if, in all cases, the Numerex board of directors determines in good faith, after consulting with and receiving advice from outside counsel, that failure to (A) make an adverse recommendation change or (B) terminate the merger agreement and enter into a definitive written agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, as the case may be, would reasonably be likely to violate the Numerex board of directors’ fiduciary obligations to Numerex and Numerex stockholders under applicable law.

Prior to making an adverse recommendation change in response to an intervening event or regarding a Superior Proposal or terminating of the merger agreement, Numerex shall have complied in all material respects with the non-solicitation provisions of the merger agreement and Numerex must inform Sierra Wireless in writing of its intention to make such an adverse recommendation change or terminate the merger agreement at least four business days prior to taking such action, and (x) in the case of a Superior Proposal, describe the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the person making such Superior Proposal and a copy of the then-current forms of all of the relevant proposed transaction documents related thereto, including definitive agreements with respect to such Superior Proposal and any financing commitments relating thereto) or (y) in the case of an intervening event, a description of the event and any related documentation. During the four business day notice period, as may be extended, Numerex must have

96

negotiated, and must have caused its representatives to negotiate, with Sierra Wireless in good faith (to the extent Sierra Wireless desires to negotiate) with regard to any adjustments proposed by Sierra Wireless to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal (or in the event of an intervening event, to allow the merger to be completed) and, following the end of such four business day period, as may be extended, the Numerex board of directors has considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of the merger agreement proposed by Sierra Wireless and determine (after consultation with Numerex’s outside legal and financial advisors) that failure to make an adverse recommendation change or terminate the merger agreement would be reasonably likely to violate the its fiduciary obligations to Numerex and Numerex stockholders under applicable law and, if applicable, prior to, or substantially concurrent with, the termination of the merger agreement, pay the termination fee described below under the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement—Termination Fee.”

An “intervening event” means any material event, development or change in circumstances with respect to Numerex and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, first occurring after the date of the merger agreement and prior to the approval and adoption of the merger agreement by Numerex stockholders, which event, development or change in circumstances was not known or reasonably foreseeable by the Numerex board of directors or other specified individuals as of, or prior to, the date of the merger agreement; provided, that an intervening event will not include: (i) the receipt, existence or terms of an acquisition proposal, any matter related thereto or consequences thereof, (ii) changes in and of themselves in the market price or trading volume of Numerex common stock or Sierra Wireless common shares or (iii) the fact in and of itself that Numerex or Sierra Wireless meets or exceeds or fails to meet or exceed internal or published projections, forecasts or revenue or earnings predictions for any period.

Numerex and Sierra Wireless further agree that, in the case of such actions taken in connection with a Superior Proposal, any material amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice of the Numerex board of directors recommendation and an additional two business day period (the period inclusive of all such days, the “notice period”). Numerex agrees that: (i) during the notice period, Numerex will, and will cause its financial advisors and outside legal counsel to, negotiate with Sierra Wireless in good faith (if Sierra Wireless indicates to Numerex that it desires to negotiate) the terms of the merger agreement and (ii) Numerex will take into account all changes and adjustments to the terms of the merger agreement proposed by Sierra Wireless in determining whether such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Numerex will keep Sierra Wireless reasonably informed of all developments affecting the material terms of any such Superior Proposal (and Numerex will provide Sierra Wireless with copies of any additional written materials received that relate to such Superior Proposal).

Nothing contained in the merger agreement prohibits the Numerex board of directors from (i) taking and disclosing to the Numerex stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 under the U.S. Exchange Act or Item 1012 of Regulation M-A or otherwise complying with the provisions of Rule 14e-2 or Rule 14d-9 under the U.S. Exchange Act or Item 1012 of Regulation M-A; provided that none of the following shall be deemed to be an adverse recommendation change: (i) a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the U.S. Exchange Act (provided that such communication is also accompanied by a public statement by the Numerex board of directors expressly reaffirming the board recommendation), (ii) an express rejection of any applicable acquisition proposal or (iii) an express reaffirmation of the board recommendation.

Efforts to Obtain Required Stockholder Votes

Each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless has agreed to (i) use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4, of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, under the U.S. Securities Act, as promptly as practicable using its reasonable best efforts to make such filing no later than 20 business days after the date of the merger agreement (provided that no party to the merger agreement shall be in breach of this timing obligation to the extent the delay is the result of an inability, after reasonable best efforts,

97

to prepare required pro forma financial statements); (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comment from the SEC with respect to the registration statement on Form F-4, have the registration statement on Form F-4 declared effective under the U.S. Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, keep the registration statement on Form F-4 effective for as long as necessary to consummate the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and promptly after the registration statement on Form F-4 is declared effective, mail this proxy statement/prospectus to Numerex stockholders; and (iii) cause each of this proxy statement/prospectus and the registration statement on Form F-4 to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the U.S. Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the applicable requirements of each of the Nasdaq GM and the TSX.

Numerex has agreed to (i) mail this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders no later than five business days after it is declared effective and (ii) hold a special meeting of its stockholders, as soon as practicable but no more than 25 business days following the date on which this proxy statement/prospectus is declared effective, for the purpose of seeking the Numerex stockholder approval of the merger proposal, and, except if the Numerex board of directors has made an adverse recommendation change, to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the requisite stockholder adoption for such proposal.

Employee Benefits

For the 18 month period following the effective time, Sierra Wireless will or will cause the surviving corporation (or other affiliate) to provide employee benefit and compensation plans for the benefit of employees who are actively employed by Numerex and its subsidiaries on the closing date (which we refer to as “Numerex Employees”) with (i) an annual base salary or base wage that is not less than the annual base salary or base wage in effect immediately prior to the effective time and (ii) employee benefits; provided that the aforementioned total compensation under (i) and (ii) is at least substantially equivalent in the aggregate to that provided as of the date of the merger agreement to similarly situated employees of Sierra Wireless and its subsidiaries whose workplace is in the United States. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, Sierra Wireless will or will cause the surviving corporation or other affiliate of Sierra Wireless, to provide to each Numerex Employee whose employment is terminated by the surviving corporation (or Sierra Wireless or any of its affiliates) without “cause” during the period commencing on the closing date, and specifically excluding any voluntary resignation by any Numerex Employee, and ending on the first anniversary of the closing date with the severance payments and benefits to which such Numerex Employee would have been entitled under the applicable severance pay plan of Numerex and its subsidiaries, subject to the terms of the severance plan, including the requirement to sign a waiver and release.

Sierra Wireless has agreed to give Numerex Employees credit for their service with Numerex prior to the closing date of the merger in connection with any employee benefit plan maintained by Sierra Wireless or any of its subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility, vesting and entitlement to benefits to the extent that such recognition of service will not result in the duplication of any benefits.

Sierra Wireless has agreed to waive or satisfy all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Numerex Employees under any medical, dental or other welfare plans in which such Numerex Employees are eligible to participate as of or after the effective time to the extent that such limitations were waived or satisfied under the applicable Numerex plan and to provide credit for any co-payments, coinsurances and deductibles paid prior to the closing date, in each case, under Sierra Wireless’s health and welfare plans following the closing date of the merger.

Director & Officer Indemnification and Insurance

Sierra Wireless has agreed to cause the surviving corporation, for six years after the closing of the merger, to indemnify and hold harmless each current and former director, officer and employee of Numerex and

98

any of its subsidiaries (including individuals who served at the request of Numerex or its subsidiaries as a director or officer of another third person) (which we refer to collectively and including such individual’s affiliates as the “indemnified parties”) against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines, fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time) (including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of the merger agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated thereby)), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the indemnified party (or such indemnified party’s affiliate) is or was an officer, director or employee of Numerex or its subsidiaries, is or was serving at the request of Numerex or its subsidiaries as a director or officer of another person or in respect of any acts or omissions in their capacities as such directors, officers or employees occurring at or prior to the effective time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the effective time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and Numerex’s organizational documents.

Sierra Wireless has agreed to, or cause the surviving corporation to, for a period of six years after the effective time, either (i) maintain Numerex’s and Numerex’s subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy and fiduciary liability insurance policy or (ii) provide substitute polices of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons, with respect to claims against the present and former officers and directors of Numerex or any of its subsidiaries arising from facts or events that occurred on or prior to the effective time; provided that Sierra Wireless or the surviving corporation is not required to spend annual premiums in excess of 300% of the annual premium payable by Numerex for such insurance for the year ending December 31, 2016 (which we refer to as the “premium cap”), and if Sierra Wireless is unable to obtain such insurance, it shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for the years within such six year period for an annual premium equal to the premium cap, in respect of each policy year within such period. In lieu of the foregoing insurance, Numerex may purchase “tail” insurance coverage no less favorable than the aforementioned coverage, at a cost per year of  “tail” insurance no greater than the premium cap.

Takeover Statutes

Each of Numerex and Sierra Wireless has agreed not to take any action that would cause a state takeover statute or similar law or regulation to become applicable to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and, if any such takeover statute or similar law becomes applicable to the merger and related transactions, take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) those transactions from, or if necessary challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable takeover statute or similar law, as is in effect as of the date of the merger agreement or thereafter.

Payoff of Numerex Existing Debt

No later than three business days prior to the closing date of the merger, Numerex has agreed to obtain all necessary approvals to terminate Numerex’s and its subsidiary’s debt to the extent required under such documents. Unless otherwise agreed with the lenders holding such Numerex debt, Sierra Wireless will use its reasonable commercial efforts to extinguish such debt as soon as practicable following the closing of the merger.

Other Covenants and Agreements

The merger agreement also contains additional covenants, including, among others, matters relating to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act, securities law matters, listing of Sierra Wireless common shares on the Nasdaq GM and the TSX, announcements relating to the merger, notice of failures to comply with covenants and covenants relating to access to information.

Termination of the Merger Agreement

Termination by Mutual Agreement

The merger agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the effective time by the mutual written consent of Numerex and Sierra Wireless.

Termination by Either Numerex or Sierra Wireless

The merger agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the effective time by either Numerex or Sierra Wireless under the following circumstances:

• if the merger is not completed by April 1, 2018 (which we refer to, as may be extended, the “outside date”), which date may be extended upon election of either party to the merger agreement to August 1, 2018 in the event that the only closing conditions not yet satisfied (other than those conditions that are, by their nature, to be satisfied at closing) is (i) the expiration of all waiting periods (including extensions) applicable to the merger under the HSR Act and any other applicable antitrust laws, (ii) the absence of any governmental entity having instituted any pending legal proceeding before any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction seeking to restrain, enjoin or prohibit the completion of the merger as a result of a review of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement by the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment and/or (iii) the registration statement having been declared effective; provided, that such termination rights shall not be available to a party if the failure of the merger to have been consummated on or before the outside date was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of such party set forth in the merger agreement;

• if the “requisite Numerex stockholder vote” (i.e., the adoption of the merger agreement by the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Numerex common stock entitled to vote on the merger proposal) is not obtained;

• if a governmental entity that must grant an approval in connection with the merger issues a final and non-appealable denial; and

• if a governmental entity of competent jurisdiction issues an injunction permanently restraining or enjoining the completion of the merger.

Termination by Sierra Wireless

The merger agreement may be terminated by Sierra Wireless under the following circumstances:

• at any time prior to the effective time, if Numerex breaches any of its representations or warranties or fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements under the merger agreement, and such breach or failure to perform (a) would give rise to the failure of a closing condition and (b) is incapable of being cured prior to the outside date or is not cured within 45 days after the giving of notice thereof by Sierra Wireless; and

• at any time prior to the time the requisite Numerex stockholder vote is obtained, the Numerex board of directors fails to include the Numerex board recommendation in this proxy statement/prospectus that is filed and mailed to the Numerex stockholders, makes a change of recommendation, or fails to recommend, within 10 business days after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer by a third party for outstanding shares of Numerex common stock, against acceptance of such tender or exchange offer.

102

Termination by Numerex

Additionally, the merger agreement may be terminated by Numerex under the following circumstances:

• at any time prior to the effective time, if Sierra Wireless or Merger Sub breaches any of its representations or warranties or fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements under the merger agreement, and such breach or failure to perform (a) would give rise to the failure of a closing condition and (b) is incapable of being cured prior to the outside date or is not cured within 45 days after the giving of notice thereof by Numerex; and

• at any time prior to the time the requisite Numerex stockholder vote is obtained, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal; provided that Numerex pays the termination fee to Sierra Wireless substantially concurrently with the time of such termination though Numerex may enter into any transaction that is a Superior Proposal simultaneously with the termination of the merger agreement, as described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement—Termination Fee” below.

Subject to a limited number or circumstances prescribed in the merger agreement, Numerex and Sierra Wireless will be responsible for their own expenses relating to the merger. If the merger agreement is terminated without Numerex stockholder approval of the merger having been obtained, then Numerex will be required to reimburse Sierra Wireless for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses up to $850,000. If the merger agreement is terminated by Sierra Wireless as a result of any fraud or willful and material breach of the merger agreement by Numerex, then Numerex will be required to reimburse Sierra Wireless for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses up to $2,000,000.

Effect of Termination

In the event that Numerex or Sierra Wireless terminates the merger agreement, the merger agreement will become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of the Sierra Wireless, Merger Sub or Numerex or their respective directors, officers and affiliates, except that the confidentiality agreement, dated as of September 9, 2016, between Numerex and Sierra Wireless, and certain other provisions of the merger agreement, including confidentiality of information obtained for certain covenants disclaiming Numerex obligations with regard to effect of termination, expenses and termination fee, nonsurvival of representations, warranties and agreements, amendment, extension, waiver, notices, interpretation, counterparts, entire agreement, governing law, jurisdiction, waiver of jury trial, assignment, third-party beneficiaries, specific performance, disclosure schedule, expenses and severability will survive termination. No termination will relieve any party to the merger agreement from any liability or damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any fraud or willful and material breach with respect to any of such party’s representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in the merger agreement occurring prior to the termination of the merger agreement.

Expenses

If the merger agreement is terminated without Numerex stockholder approval of the merger having been obtained, then Numerex will be required to reimburse Sierra Wireless for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses up to $850,000.

If the merger agreement is terminated by Sierra Wireless as a result of any fraud or willful and material breach by Numerex of any material covenant, agreement, representation or warrant in the merger agreement, then Numerex will be required to reimburse Sierra Wireless for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses up to $2,000,000.

Except as described above, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the merger is consummated; provided that all filing fees under all applicable law (including the HSR Act and under any other antitrust laws applicable to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement) will be paid by Sierra Wireless.

103

Termination Fee

Numerex has agreed to pay Sierra Wireless a termination fee of approximately $4,012,500 in the event that:

• at any time prior to the approval of the merger proposal, Sierra Wireless terminates the merger agreement due to an adverse recommendation change by the Numerex board of directors;

• at any time prior to the approval of the merger proposal, Numerex terminates the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a “Superior Proposal”; or

• (A) (i) either Numerex or Sierra Wireless terminates the merger agreement due to the failure to obtain the required vote of the Numerex stockholders at a duly convened Numerex stockholder meeting where a vote on the merger agreement occurs; (ii) either Numerex or Sierra Wireless terminates the merger agreement due to the non-occurrence of the closing of the merger by the outside date, the issuance of a final and non-appealable denial by a governmental entity that must grant an approval in connection with the merger or by mutual written agreement of both parties to the merger agreement, in each case, prior to the approval of the merger agreement by the Numerex stockholders and only if all conditions to obligations of each of Numerex, Sierra Wireless and Merger Sub have been satisfied or were capable of being satisfied prior to such termination; or (iii) the merger agreement is terminated by Sierra Wireless as a result of any fraud or willful and material breach by Numerex of any material covenant, agreement, representation or warrant in the merger agreement; and (B) an acquisition proposal is publicly disclosed after the date of the merger agreement and not publicly withdrawn within 15 business days before the special meeting of Numerex stockholders; and (C) within 12 months of the date the merger agreement is terminated, Numerex enters into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to acquisition proposal; provided that, for the purposes of this provision, all references in the definition of  “acquisition proposal” to twenty-five percent (25%) shall instead refer to fifty percent (50%).

Amendment, Extension and Waiver

Amendment

Subject to applicable law, the merger agreement may be amended by the parties thereto, in writing, at any time before or after receipt of the Numerex stockholder approval.

Extension; Waiver

Subject to applicable law, any party to the merger agreement may, in writing, at any time (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party to the merger agreement, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the merger agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the merger agreement or (iii) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained in the merger agreement.

Specific Performance

In addition to any other remedy that may be available to each party to the merger agreement, including monetary damages, each of the parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the merger agreement and to seek to enforce specifically its terms and provisions.

Governing Law

The merger agreement is governed by the law of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof to the extent that such principles would direct a matter to another jurisdiction; provided, that matters relating to the fiduciary duties of the Numerex board of directors are governed by the law of the State of Pennsylvania.

THE VOTING AGREEMENTS

The following is a summary of the material terms of the voting agreements by and among Sierra Wireless and certain stockholders of Numerex, dated August 2, 2017. This summary may not contain all of the information about the voting agreements that is important to you. The summary in this section and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of voting agreement attached as Annex C to, and incorporated by reference into, this proxy statement/prospectus. You are encouraged to read the form of voting agreement in its entirety.

On August 2, 2017, Sierra Wireless entered into certain voting agreements with Gwynedd Resources, Ltd.; Viex Opportunities Fund, LP – Series One; Viex Special Opportunities Fund II, LP; Viex Special Opportunities Fund III, LP; Viex GP, LLC; Viex Special Opportunities GP II, LLC; Viex Special Opportunities GP III, LLC; Viex Capital Advisors, LLC; Eric Singer; Tony G. Holcombe; Stratton J. Nicolaides; and Andrew J. Ryan, each a Numerex stockholder (collectively, the “Holders”). As of the date of the voting agreements, the Holders had the sole voting and sole dispositive power with respect to 5,354,097 shares of common stock of Numerex (which we refer to as the “Voting Shares”), which constituted approximately 27.2% of the outstanding common stock of Numerex as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Subject to the terms of the voting agreements, each Holder has agreed to, among other things, (i) cause all of the Voting Shares to approve and adopt the merger agreement and merger and (ii) to cause all of the Voting Shares to vote against any acquisition proposal or any other action, agreement or transaction that would be reasonably expected to impede or delay the merger. By entering into the voting agreements, the Holders also agreed to revoke any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney granted with respect to the Voting Shares and appoint Sierra Wireless as such proxy and attorney-in-fact. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the voting requirements and the related proxies provided pursuant to the voting agreements will be suspended in the event of, and for so long as, the board of directors of Numerex should for any reason not recommend that stockholders vote in favor of the merger.

The voting agreements generally will terminate upon, among other things, (i) termination of the merger agreement, (ii) if Numerex should enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a “superior proposal” (as defined in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation”), (iii) once Numerex stockholder approval of the merger has been obtained or (iv) upon any change to the terms of the merger agreement that decrease the amount or change the form of consideration received by Numerex stockholders in the merger. Upon termination of the voting agreements, subject to certain exceptions, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under such agreement, except that Viex Opportunities Fund, LP – Series One and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Viex”) agreed to certain post-merger restrictions with respect to Sierra Wireless and its securities.

Pursuant to its voting agreement with Sierra Wireless, if the merger is completed, Viex agreed not to take any of the following actions from the completion of the merger until June 30, 2019: (i) purchase or otherwise acquire beneficial ownership of any Sierra Wireless common shares, other than those common shares that Viex receives as consideration in the merger, (ii) seek or encourage any person to submit nominations, or engage in the solicitation of proxies or consents, for the election or removal of Sierra Wireless directors, (iii) otherwise act to seek control of or influence Sierra Wireless’ board of directors, management or policies, or (iv) take any actions that question the validity or effectiveness of Sierra Wireless’ shareholder rights plan adopted by the Sierra Wireless shareholders at the annual general and special meetings of Sierra Wireless shareholders held on May 21, 2015 (which we refer to as the “Shareholder Rights Plan”) or any securities issued pursuant thereto. In the voting agreement by and between Sierra Wireless and Viex, each such party also agreed, if the merger is completed, to abide by mutual non-disparagement obligations from the completion of the merger until June 30, 2019.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the proposed combination of Sierra Wireless and Numerex using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting and for the purpose of these pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Sierra Wireless is treated as the acquirer and Numerex as the acquiree. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Sierra Wireless agreed to combine with Numerex through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Numerex. Based on the consideration calculation prescribed in the merger agreement, the estimated price for the acquisition of Numerex is approximately $78.6 million based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless’ common shares on October 27, 2017. Completion of the merger is subject to the conditions contained in the merger agreement and described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Sierra Wireless and Numerex, respectively, the notes thereto, and the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements include any necessary adjustments to conform Numerex’s financial statement amounts to Sierra Wireless’ accounting policies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings includes adjustments which are directly attributable to the merger, factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the condensed combined results, and thus excludes adjustments arising from non-recurring effects of the transaction that are not expected to continue in future periods. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position includes adjustments that are directly attributable to the merger and factually supportable, regardless of whether they have continuing effect or are non-recurring. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to any cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements expected to result from the merger or the costs to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements.

The pro forma adjustments are based on available preliminary information and certain assumptions that management of Sierra Wireless believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for informational purposes only. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in Sierra Wireless’ management’s discussion and analysis and consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed on Form 40-F on March 10, 2017 and Sierra Wireless’ unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the six months ended June 30, 2017 furnished on Form 6-K on August 10, 2017, each of which is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. For more information, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.” All pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on Sierra Wireless’ and Numerex’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the merger. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (which we refer to as “U.S. GAAP”), on a basis consistent with those followed in Sierra Wireless’ December 31, 2016 audited annual consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars (which we refer to as “U.S. dollars”). The term dollars and the symbol “$” refer to U.S. dollars.

The pro forma adjustments and purchase price allocation for Numerex are preliminary and are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. The actual adjustments to the combined financial statements upon closing of the merger will depend on a variety of factors, such as additional available information, final net assets of Numerex and the market price of Sierra Wireless common shares. As a result of these factors, the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and the differences may be material.

The pro forma condensed combined financial statements may not be indicative of what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE MERGER

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Numerex will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sierra Wireless, through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Numerex in a stock-for-stock merger transaction. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Numerex shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.1800 common shares of Sierra Wireless for each share of Numerex common stock. Concurrent with closing, Numerex’s debt of approximately $23 million, including fees, shall be repaid with Sierra Wireless cash.

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The following adjustments have been recorded in the pro forma combined financial statements to reflect the pro forma effects of the merger as described in the preceding note:

(a) Purchase price, funding requirements and financing structure

The following table summarizes the estimated purchase price, funding requirements and the assumed financing structure for the merger:

(In thousands of U.S. dollars)	note			$
Estimated Purchase Price and Funding Requirements
Issuance of common shares		3	(c)		77,429
Debt extinguishment		3	(d)		23,419
Estimated Purchase Price					100,848
Acquisition-related costs		3	(e)		6,595
Estimated Funding Requirements				$	107,443
Assumed Financing Structure
Issuance of common shares					77,429
Cash on hand					30,014
				$	107,443

110

The final purchase price and resulting goodwill will vary based on the market price of Sierra Wireless’ common shares and the accrued interest on the debt at the time the merger is completed. Goodwill may also vary based on the finalization of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

(b) Estimated purchase price allocation

The merger is accounted for using the acquisition method and accordingly, the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on our preliminary estimates of their respective fair values as at June 30, 2017 and are subject to final valuation adjustments which may cause some of the amounts to be materially different from those shown on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuation assumptions and other validations that have not yet been completed.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at acquisition date:

(In thousands of U.S. dollars)	Numerex		Fair value and other adjustments			Fair value
Assets Acquired
Current assets		25,217		—			25,217
Property and equipment		6,942		—			6,942
Intangible assets		15,724		14,258			29,982
Goodwill		33,554		(33,554	)		—
Other assets		2,026		4,899			6,925
		83,463					69,066
Liabilities Assumed
Current liabilities		17,870		(173	)		17,697
Other liabilities		2,643		4,858			7,501
		20,513					25,198
Fair value of net assets acquired							43,868
Pro forma goodwill							56,980
Estimated purchase price							100,848

The carrying value of current assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their relatively short-term to maturity. The preliminary fair value of deferred revenue is based on an estimate of the legal performance obligation assumed by Sierra Wireless.

The preliminary estimated fair value of intangible assets is $30.0 million, primarily comprised of customer relationships, existing technology and brand.

The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary value assigned to the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The final purchase price and resulting goodwill will vary based on the market price of Sierra Wireless’ common shares and the accrued interest on the debt on the closing date of the merger. Goodwill may also vary based on the finalization of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared based on the closing price of Sierra Wireless’ common shares on the Nasdaq GM of $21.50 on September 30, 2017. The below

111

table illustrates a 10% fluctuation in the market price of Sierra Wireless common shares and the resulting potential impact on the estimated purchase price and goodwill:

(In thousands of U.S. dollars)	Estimated Purchase Price		Estimated Goodwill
As presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements		100,848	$	56,980
10% increase in Sierra Wireless common share price		108,591		64,723
10% decrease in Sierra Wireless common share price		93,105		49,237

(c) Issuance of share capital

As part of the consideration for the merger, Sierra Wireless will issue common shares at a value of $77.4 million, comprising 3.6 million shares at $21.50 per common share as of September 30, 2017.

(d) Debt extinguishment

Concurrent with the closing of the merger, the outstanding notes payable totaling $18.6 million to Hale Capital and Kenneth Rainin Foundation shall be repaid, plus fees of approximately $4.8 million. The final amount of fees to be paid will vary depending on timing of closing of the merger.

Deferred financing costs of $3.5 million related to the above notes payable are written off and adjusted through retained earnings as these costs are non-recurring in nature.

Interest expense and loss on debt extinguishment has been reversed in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations as a result of the debt extinguishment upon the merger closing.

(e) Acquisition-related costs

Acquisition-related costs are estimated at approximately $6.6 million, composed of estimated investment banking, legal, accounting and other costs associated with the completion of the transaction. These costs have been included as a pro forma adjustment to retained earnings as these costs are attributable to the acquisition and are non-recurring in nature.

Acquisition-related costs incurred by Sierra Wireless and Numerex totaling $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 have been reversed as these costs are attributable to the acquisition and are non-recurring for the combined company.

(f) Intangible asset amortization

Intangible asset amortization expense has been adjusted by eliminating Numerex’s historical amortization expense and including an estimate of the expense resulting from the amortization of the estimated fair value of intangible assets over their average estimated useful lives.

(g) Income taxes

Income tax adjustments reflect the estimated tax effects of the above noted pro forma adjustments using statutory tax rates of 37.98% for Sierra Wireless and Numerex related adjustments.

(h) Numerex’s historical equity

The historical equity of Numerex, composed of treasury stock, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss has been eliminated.

112

(i) Earnings per common share

Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the pro forma earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 reflects the assumed issuance of approximately 3.6 million of Sierra Wireless common shares as if the merger closing had taken place on January 1, 2016.

	For the year ended December 31, 2016			For the six months ended June 30, 2017
Net earnings (loss)	$	(6,684	)	$	3,071
Weighted average shares outstanding		32,032			32,038
Assumed issuance of common shares		3,601			3,601
Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding		35,633			35,639
Assumed dilution		—			590
Pro forma diluted weighted average shares outstanding		35,633			36,229
Pro forma earnings (loss) per share
Basic	$	(0.19	)	$	0.09
Diluted	$	(0.19	)	$	0.08

As the combined company incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2016, all equity awards in the year were anti-dilutive and are excluded from the diluted weighted average shares.

The following reclassifications are made to align presentation of Numerex’ financial statement amounts with Sierra Wireless’s financial statements in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The Numerex by-laws may from time to time be amended or repealed, in whole or in part, by the shareholders (i) by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders at any duly convened annual or special meeting in the case of an amendment or repeal that has been previously approved by at least a majority of the incumbent directors or (ii) by the affirmative vote of at least 65% of the votes cast by shareholders at any duly convened annual or special meeting in the case of an amendment or repeal that has not previously been approved by at least a majority of the incumbent directors.

Rights of Inspection	Under the CBCA, Sierra Wireless shareholders and creditors of Sierra Wireless and their personal representatives may examine: (i) Sierra Wireless’ articles and by-laws, and all amendments thereto, and a copy of any unanimous shareholder agreement; (ii) minutes of meetings and resolutions of Sierra Wireless shareholders; (iii) copies of all notices of directors or notices of change of directors; and (iv) Sierra Wireless’ securities register, during the usual business hours of Sierra Wireless, and may take extracts from the records, free of charge, and any other person may do so on payment of a reasonable fee.	Under Pennsylvania Law, Numerex shareholders, upon written demand, have a right to examine, in person or by agent or attorney, during the usual hours for business for any proper purpose, the share register, books and records of account, and records of the proceedings of the incorporators, shareholders and directors and to make copies or extracts therefrom.
Shareholder Suits	Derivative Action Under the CBCA, a “complainant” (as such term is defined in the table under “Oppression Remedy” below) may apply to a court for leave to bring a derivative action in the name and on behalf of Sierra Wireless or any of its subsidiaries, or to intervene in an existing action to which Sierra Wireless or any of its subsidiaries is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of Sierra Wireless or its subsidiary. However, under the CBCA, no action may be brought and no intervention in an action may be made unless a court is satisfied that: (i) the complainant has given notice to the board of directors of Sierra Wireless or its subsidiary of the complainant’s intention to apply to the court for such leave not less than 14 days before bringing the application if the board of directors of Sierra Wireless or its subsidiary do not bring, diligently prosecute or defend or discontinue the action; (ii) the complainant is acting in good faith; and (iii) it appears to be in the interests of Sierra Wireless or its subsidiary that the action be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.	Generally, under Pennsylvania Law, a shareholder may bring an action or proceeding to enforce a secondary right of such shareholder against any present or former officer or director of Numerex because Numerex refuses to enforce rights that may properly be asserted by it, provided that the shareholder plaintiff must have been a shareholder of Numerex or owner of a beneficial interest in the shares at the time of the transaction of which such shareholder complains. Pennsylvania Law does not provide for a remedy similar to the oppression remedy under the Canada Corporations Act; however, stockholders are entitled to remedies for violation of a director’s fiduciary duties under Pennsylvania common law.

	Under the CBCA, the court in a derivative action may make any order it determines to be appropriate, including, without limitation, an order authorizing the complainant or any other person to control the conduct of the action, an order giving directions for the conduct of the action, an order directing that any amount determined to be payable by a defendant in the action will be paid, in whole or in part, directly to former and present security holders of Sierra Wireless or its subsidiary instead of to Sierra Wireless or its subsidiary and an order requiring Sierra Wireless or its subsidiary to pay reasonable legal fees incurred by the complainant in connection with the action.
	Oppression Remedy The CBCA provides an oppression remedy that enables a court to make any order, including, without limitation: (i)       an order restraining the conduct complained of; (ii)      an order appointing a receiver or receiver-manager; (iii)     an order to regulate Sierra Wireless’ affairs by amending Sierra Wireless’ articles or by-laws or creating or amending a unanimous shareholder agreement; (iv)     an order directing an issue or exchange of securities; (v)      an order appointing directors in place of or in addition to all or any of the directors then in office; (vi)     an order directing Sierra Wireless or any other person, to purchase securities of a security holder; (vii)    an order directing Sierra Wireless or any other person, to pay a security holder any part of the monies that the security holder paid for securities;

	An application under the oppression remedy may be made by a “complainant,” which means: (i)       a registered holder or beneficial owner, and a former registered holder or beneficial owner, of a security of Sierra Wireless or any of its affiliates, (ii)      a director or an officer or a former director or officer of Sierra Wireless or any of its affiliates, (iii)     the director appointed under the CBCA, or (iv)     any other person who, in the discretion of a court, is a proper person to make such an application.

Limitation of Personal Liability of Directors and Officers	Under the CBCA, no provision in a contract, Sierra Wireless’s articles or by-laws of Sierra Wireless or a resolution of Sierra Wireless’ board of directors or shareholders relieves a director or officer of Sierra Wireless from the duty to act in accordance with CBCA or the regulations thereunder or relieves them from liability for a breach thereof.	Under Numerex’s articles of incorporation and Pennsylvania Law, a director shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken unless (i) the director breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office and (ii) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. Under Pennsylvania law, Numerex may purchase and maintain insurance for a director or officer against any liability asserted against such individual, and incurred in his or her capacity as a director or officer or arising out of his or her position, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such individual against such liability under Pennsylvania Law.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers	Under the CBCA, Sierra Wireless may indemnify its directors and officers, its former directors and officers or another individual who acts or acted at Sierra Wireless’ request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, which we refer to as an “indemnifiable person,” against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the indemnifiable person in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the indemnifiable person is involved because of that association with Sierra Wireless or other entity, provided that: •    the indemnifiable person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Sierra Wireless, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at Sierra Wireless’ request; and	Pennsylvania Law and Numerex’s articles of incorporation provide that Numerex may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a representative of Numerex, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. No indemnification or advancement or reimbursement of expenses will be provided to a person if a final unappealable judgment or award establishes that such director or officer engaged in intentional misconduct or involves a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit. director or officer derived an improper personal benefit.

	•    in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the indemnifiable person had reasonable grounds for believing that the indemnifiable person’s conduct was lawful. Sierra Wireless may advance funds to an indemnifiable person for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above, provided, however, that the indemnifiable person will repay the funds if the individual does not fulfill the above-mentioned conditions. An indemnifiable person is also entitled to indemnity from Sierra Wireless in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnifiable person in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the indemnifiable person is subject because of the indemnifiable person’s association with Sierra Wireless or other entity, if the indemnifiable person: (i)       was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the indemnifiable person ought to have done; and (ii)      fulfills the conditions first set out above. In the case of a derivative action, indemnity may be made only with court approval, if the indemnifiable person fulfills the requirements first mentioned above. Under Sierra Wireless’ by-laws, Sierra Wireless will indemnify a director or officer of Sierra Wireless, a former director or officer of Sierra Wireless, or another individual who acts or acted at Sierra Wireless’ request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, to the extent permitted and in accordance with the CBCA.	Unless ordered by a court, the determination of whether indemnification is proper in a specific case will be determined by (1) the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action or proceeding; (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable or if obtainable and a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (3) by the shareholders. To the extent that a representative of a business corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of a third-party action, derivative action or corporate action, he or she must be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such individual in connection therewith.

	In addition, Sierra Wireless may, under the CBCA and its by-laws, purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an indemnifiable person against such liabilities and in such amounts as the Sierra Wireless board of directors may from time to time determine and are permitted by the CBCA.
Appraisal/Dissent Rights	The CBCA provides that Sierra Wireless shareholders are entitled to exercise dissent rights and to be paid the fair value of their shares as determined in accordance with the provisions of the CBCA, if Sierra Wireless: •    is subject to an order in respect of an “arrangement” (as such term is defined in the CBCA) in accordance with the provisions of the CBCA; •    resolves to amend its articles to add, change or remove any provisions restricting or constraining the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of that class; •    resolves to amend its articles to add, change or remove any restriction on the business or businesses that Sierra Wireless may carry on; •    resolves to amalgamate, other than an amalgamation with a parent or a subsidiary or an amalgamation with a sister corporation, in each case in accordance with the provisions of the CBCA; •    resolves to be continued under the laws of another jurisdiction; •    resolves to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all its property other than in the ordinary course of business; or •    resolves to carry out a going-private transaction or a squeeze-out transaction (as such terms are defined in the CBCA).	Under Pennsylvania Law, Numerex shareholders are entitled to dissent from, and to obtain payment of the fair value of their shares in the event of any corporate action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under Section 1571(b) of the PBCL, dissenters’ rights are not generally conferred to shareholders in a merger if their shares are (i) listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; or (ii) held beneficially or of record by more than 2,000 persons. Because Numerex shares are registered on the NYSE, a national securities exchange, Numerex shareholders would not have dissenters’ rights in such a transaction. Under Section 317 of the PBCL, the bylaws or a resolution of the board of directors may direct that all or part of the shareholders shall have dissenters’ rights in connection with any corporate action or transaction that would not otherwise entitle such shareholders to dissenters’ rights. The Numerex bylaws do not provide for any additional dissenters’ rights and Numerex has not adopted any resolution providing for additional dissenters’ rights.

	A shareholder is not entitled to dissent if an amendment to the articles is effected by a court order approving a reorganization (as defined in the CBCA) or by a court order made in connection with an action for an oppression remedy.
Shareholder Rights Plans	The Shareholder Rights Plan is designed to encourage the fair treatment of Sierra Wireless shareholders in connection with any take-over offer for the common shares of Sierra Wireless. The Shareholder Rights Plan provides the board of directors and shareholders with 60 days to fully consider any unsolicited take-over bid to allow the board of directors, if appropriate, to consider other alternatives to maximize shareholder value and to allow additional time for competing bids to emerge. If a bid is made to all shareholders, is held open for at least 60 days and is accepted by shareholders holding more than 50% of the outstanding common shares of Sierra Wireless, or is otherwise approved by the board of directors, then the Shareholder Rights Plan will not affect the rights of shareholders. Otherwise, all shareholders, except the parties making a take-over bid, will be able to acquire a number of additional common shares of Sierra Wireless at half the market price.	Not applicable.
Approval of Extraordinary Transactions; Anti-Takeover Provisions	Under the CBCA, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property of Sierra Wireless other than in the ordinary course of business of Sierra Wireless, including pursuant to an amalgamation (other than an amalgamation with a parent or a subsidiary or an amalgamation with a sister corporation in accordance with the provisions of the CBCA) and an arrangement (as defined in the CBCA), or a dissolution of Sierra Wireless, is generally required to be approved by special resolution, being 66 2/3% of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, in respect of the resolution at a meeting of Sierra Wireless shareholders.	Under Pennsylvania law, Section 2538 of Subchapter 25D of the PBCL requires certain transactions with an “interested shareholder” to be approved by a majority of disinterested shareholders. “Interested shareholder” is defined broadly to include any shareholder who is a party to the transaction or who is treated differently than other shareholders and affiliates of the corporation. Subchapter 25F of the PBCL generally establishes a 5-year moratorium on a “business combination” with an “interested shareholder.” “Interested shareholder” is defined generally to be any beneficial owner of 20% or more of

	Additionally, Multilateral Instrument 61-101—Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (which we refer to as “MI 61-101”) of the Canadian Securities Administrators contains detailed requirements in connection with “related party transactions” and “business combinations.” A related party transaction means, generally, any transaction by which an issuer, directly or indirectly, consummates one or more specified transactions with a related party, including purchasing or disposing of an asset, issuing securities or assuming liabilities. “Related party,” as defined in MI 61-101, includes (i) directors and senior officers of the issuer, (ii) holders of voting securities of the issuer carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all the issuer’s outstanding voting securities and (iii) holders of a sufficient number of any securities of the issuer to materially affect control of the issuer.

Certain restrictions apply to business combinations following the 5-year period. Among other exceptions, Subchapter 25F will be rendered inapplicable if the board of directors approves the proposed business combination, or approves the interested shareholder’s acquisition of 20% of the voting shares, in either case prior to the date on which the shareholder first becomes an interested shareholder.
	MI 61-101 requires, subject to certain exceptions, specific detailed disclosure in the proxy (information) circular sent to security holders in connection with a related party transaction or business combination where a meeting is required and, subject to certain exceptions, the preparation of a formal valuation of the subject matter of the related party transaction or business combination and any non-cash consideration offered in connection therewith, and the inclusion of a summary of the valuation in the proxy circular. MI 61-101 also requires, subject to certain exceptions, that an issuer not engage in a related party transaction or business combination unless, in addition to any other required

Compulsory Acquisitions	The CBCA provides that if an offer is made to shareholders of a distributing corporation (as defined in the CBCA), such as Sierra Wireless, at approximately the same time to acquire all of the shares of a class of issued shares, including an offer made by a distributing corporation to repurchase all of the shares of a class of its shares (which we refer to as a “takeover bid”) and such offer is accepted within 120 days of the takeover bid by holders of not less than 90% of the shares (other than the shares held by the offeror or an affiliate or associate of the offeror) of any class of shares to which the takeover bid relates, then the offeror is entitled to acquire the shares held by those holders of securities of that class who did not accept the takeover bid either on the same terms on which the offeror acquired shares under the takeover bid or for payment of the fair value of such holder’s shares as determined in accordance with the dissent right procedures under the CBCA.	Not applicable.
Rights Upon Liquidation	Under the CBCA, Sierra Wireless may liquidate and dissolve by special resolution of the holders of each class of Sierra Wireless shares, whether or not such Sierra Wireless shareholders are otherwise entitled to vote. Each Sierra Wireless common share entitles the holder to participate rateably in any distribution of the assets of Sierra Wireless upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to prior rights and privileges attaching to the preference shares of Sierra Wireless.	In the event of Numerex’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of its common stock would be entitled to their proportionate share of any assets in accordance with each holder’s holdings remaining after payment of liabilities and any amounts due to other claimants, including the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

CHANGE IN NUMEREX ACCOUNTANTS

As previously reported, on February 4, 2016 Grant Thornton LLP (which we refer to as “Grant Thornton”) notified the Numerex audit committee of its decision not to stand for re-appointment following completion of its audit services for 2015.

The audit reports of Grant Thornton on Numerex’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During Numerex’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports for such periods.

During each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, and the subsequent interim period through March 15, 2016, there was no “ reportable event,” as that term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Form 20-F related to a material weakness in Numerex’s internal control over financial reporting, except that management’s assessment of Numerex’s internal control over financial reporting identified a material weakness as of December 31, 2015 related to effective monitoring and oversight of controls as it relates to (i) the source data, assumptions and projections utilized pertaining to the evaluation process for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets and (ii) controls over the completeness, existence, accuracy in its accounting for capitalized internally developed software costs.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, and the subsequent interim period through the date of its appointment, neither Numerex nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with BDO USA, LLP with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Numerex’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to Numerex that BDO USA, LLP concluded was an important factor considered by Numerex in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 16F(a)(1) of Form 20-F.

Numerex has provided a copy of the above statements to Grant Thornton and requested that it furnish Numerex with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not they agree with the above disclosure. A copy of that letter, dated September 18, 2017, is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part.

CHANGE IN SIERRA WIRELESS ACCOUNTANTS

As previously reported, effective on May 19, 2016 Sierra Wireless elected to not reappoint KPMG LLP (which we refer to as “KPMG”) as its auditors as a result of Sierra Wireless’ comprehensive external audit review process, which included a formal “request for proposal” being tendered to qualifying firms (including the incumbent auditor, KPMG).

The audit reports of KPMG on Sierra Wireless’ financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During Sierra Wireless’ fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports for such periods.

During each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, and the subsequent interim period through March 17, 2016, there was no “ reportable event,” as that term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Form 20-F related to a material weakness in Sierra Wireless’ internal control over financial reporting.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, and the subsequent interim period through the date of its appointment, neither Sierra Wireless nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Ernst & Young LLP with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Sierra Wireless’ financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to Sierra Wireless that Ernst & Young LLP concluded was an important factor considered by Sierra Wireless in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 16F(a)(1) of Form 20-F.

A copy of that letter, dated September 8, 2017, is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Sierra Wireless is organized under the laws of Canada. A substantial portion of Sierra Wireless’ assets are located outside the United States, and many of Sierra Wireless’ directors and officers and some of the experts named in this proxy statement/prospectus are residents of jurisdictions outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service within the United States upon Sierra Wireless and those directors, officers and experts, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of Sierra Wireless and such directors, officers or experts under U.S. federal securities laws. There is uncertainty as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in original actions, or in actions to enforce judgments of United States courts, of the civil liabilities predicated upon U.S. federal securities laws.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Numerex board of directors knows of no matters that will be presented for consideration at the special meeting other than as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. If any other matters properly come before Numerex stockholders at the special meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and are voted upon, the enclosed proxy will be deemed to confer discretionary authority on the individuals that it names as proxies to vote the shares represented by the proxy as to any of these matters. The individuals named as proxies intend to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Numerex board of directors.

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Numerex

If the merger is completed, Numerex will not have public stockholders and there will be no public participation in any future meeting of stockholders. However, if the merger is not completed or if Numerex is otherwise required to do so under applicable law, Numerex will hold an annual meeting of Numerex stockholders with respect to fiscal year 2017. Any stockholder nominations or proposals for other business intended to be presented at Numerex’s next annual meeting must be submitted to Numerex as set forth below.

If a Numerex stockholder wishes to submit a proposal in accordance with SEC Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in Numerex’s proxy statement for its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, such proposal must be mailed to Numerex’s General Secretary and Counsel at The Ryan Law Group, LLP, 14 East 4th Street, Suite 406, New York, NY 10012. Since the date of the 2017 annual meeting of the stockholders would be changed by more than 30 days from the date of the 2016 annual meeting, then the deadline for inclusion of any proposal in Numerex’s proxy statement is a reasonable time before Numerex begins to print and send its proxy materials for its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, simply submitting a proposal does not guarantee that it will be included.

Numerex stockholders interested in submitting nominees for the Numerex board of directors for inclusion in Numerex’s 2017 proxy statement will need to comply with the terms of the Numerex’s by-laws, which include providing timely written notice to Numerex’s General Secretary and Counsel at The Ryan Law Group, LLP, 14 East 4th Street, Suite 406, New York, NY 10012. To be considered timely, Numerex must receive a stockholder’s written notice a reasonable time before Numerex begins to print and send its proxy materials for its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

146

In addition, if a Numerex stockholder wishes to introduce business or nominate directors at Numerex’s 2017 Annual Meeting (other than a matter or nominee to be included in the proxy statement), such stockholder must send Numerex written notice which complies with the requirements of the Numerex by-laws, and Numerex must receive it no later than a reasonable time before Numerex begins to print and send its proxy materials for its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. The individuals named as proxy holders for Numerex’s 2017 Annual Meeting will have discretionary authority to vote proxies on matters of which we are not properly notified and also may have discretionary voting authority under other circumstances. Such notice must be mailed to Numerex’s General Secretary and Counsel at The Ryan Law Group, LLP, 14 East 4th Street, Suite 406, New York, NY 10012.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or annual report, as applicable, addressed to those stockholders. As permitted by the U.S. Exchange Act, only one copy of this proxy statement is being delivered to Numerex stockholders residing at the same address, unless such stockholders have notified Numerex of their desire to receive multiple copies of the proxy statement. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

If you have consented to “householding” but wish to receive separate annual reports and proxy statements in the future, notify Numerex’s Investor Relations by phone at 1-770-693-5950, by e-mail at InvestorRelations@numerex.com or by mail at Numerex Corp., c/o Investor Relations, 400 Interstate North Parkway, Suite 1350, Atlanta, GA 30339. You will be removed from the “householding” program within 30 days after Numerex receives your notice. If your household received a single mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus and you would like to receive additional copies, Numerex’s Investor Relations can promptly handle that request for you as well.

Section 2.1 Treatment of Company Class A Common Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or holders of any securities of the Company, each share of Company Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Company Class A Common Stock resulting from the exercise of Company Warrants in accordance with Section 2.6(b), and other than the Excluded Shares) shall automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.3, 0.1800 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Parent Common Stock (such fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock, the “Merger Consideration”) whereupon each holder of Company Class A Company Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable in respect thereof pursuant to this ARTICLE II, which Merger Consideration shall be deemed to be issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares.

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any other Person, all shares of Company Class A Common Stock owned by the Company (including any shares of Company Class A Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company and any shares of Company Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of Company Options, Company SARs, Company Warrants and the settlement of Company RSUs), Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries (“Excluded Shares”) shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid therefor.

Section 2.2 Treatment of Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Merger Sub shall be automatically converted into and become fully paid and nonassessable shares of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation equal in number to the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Company Class A Common Stock resulting from the exercise of Company Warrants in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and other than the Excluded Shares) and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.3 Adjustments. If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Class A Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities, in any such case as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution paid, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Merger Consideration to give holders of Company Class A Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.4 Exchange Agent; Procedure for Surrender of Shares.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging the Company Class A Common Stock certificates (the “Certificates”) and the shares of Company Class A Common Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) for the Merger Consideration.

A-16

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share and whose shares of Company Class A Common Stock each were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of such to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Company Class A Common Stock in exchange for the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a), including any amount of cash payable in respect of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.7. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration for each share of Company Class A Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, to be delivered within ten (10) Business Days following the later to occur of (x) the Effective Time or (y) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of a duly executed letter of transmittal and such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith canceled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If registration of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of such registration that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such registration shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the registration of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Registration of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4(b), each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 2.4(b), without interest thereon.

(c) In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof (such affidavit to be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Exchange Agent), the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(a), including any amount payable in respect of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.7; provided, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 2.5 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Class A Common Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Company Class A Common Stock formerly represented thereby except as otherwise provided for herein or by Applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(a) Termination of Exchange Agent; No Liability. With respect to any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Class A Common Shares one (1) year after the Effective

A-17

Time, such holders shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration due to such holders upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.4(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration, or other amounts, properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

(b) Withholding. Each of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under Applicable Law with respect to Taxes. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(a) Company Options and Company SARs. At the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each Company Option and Company SAR that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that has an exercise price that is less than the product of (1) the Exchange Ratio and (2) the Parent Stock Price (such product, the “Merger Consideration FMV” (such Company Option or Company SAR, an “In-the-Money Option” or “In-the-Money SAR”, respectively), shall become fully vested (to the extent not already vested) and shall automatically be canceled and extinguished, no longer be outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock, and in consideration therefor, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a “number” of shares of Parent Common Stock for each such Company Option and Company SAR, wherein the “number” is determined by dividing (i) the excess of (x) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Parent Stock Price minus (y) the per-share exercise price for the shares of Company Class A Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR as the case may be, by (ii) the Parent Stock Price and rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share. Each Company Option and Company SAR that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not an In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled and extinguished, no longer be outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock and no consideration shall be paid therefore. Parent shall pay to each holder of In-the-Money Options or In-the-Money SARs cash in lieu of fractional shares to which such holder would be entitled pursuant to this Section 2.6(a); provided that the calculation of the amount of such fractional shares shall be determined on an aggregate basis taking into account all In-the-Money Options and In-the-Money SARs held by such holder. For purposes hereof, “Parent Stock Price” shall mean the volume weighted average price of a share of Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ GM for the five (5) trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day on which the Effective Time occurs.

(b) Company Warrants. Not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company will provide written notice to all holders of each outstanding unexercised warrant to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock (each, a “Company Warrant”), which notice shall include such reasonable information as a holder of a Company Warrant may reasonably require regarding the treatment of a Company Warrant in connection with the Closing and which notice shall otherwise be provided in accordance with the terms of each applicable Company Warrant agreement. If, upon receiving notice of the Closing of the Merger, the holder of a Company Warrant exercises such Company Warrant in accordance with its terms, then (1) such exercise shall be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger and such exercise will be governed by the terms of the applicable Company Warrant agreement, and (2) at the Effective Time, such Company Warrant shall be cancelled and, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable (but no later than fifteen (15) calendar days) following the Effective Time, in consideration of the exercise and cancellation of such Company Warrant and in settlement therefor, in lieu of the Company Class A Common Stock immediately issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrant, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Company

A-18

Class A Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant had the Company Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto. If, upon receiving notice of the Closing of the Merger, the holder of a Company Warrant does not exercise such Company Warrant in accordance with its terms, then (A) such Company Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger and (B) at the Effective Time, such Company Warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished, no longer outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock or receive any Merger Consideration, without any payment of any consideration therefor. The Company agrees to take all necessary action to terminate each Company Warrant as of the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Warrant agreement. The provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall not apply in respect of the warrants issued to, and outstanding in the name of, HCP-FVF, LLC, the treatment of which is governed by an agreement between HCP-FVF LLC and the Company.

(c) Company Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full and the restrictions thereon shall lapse.

Section 6.12 Employees and Contractors; Directors; Equity Matters.

(a) During the period commencing on the Effective Time and ending on the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation (or other Affiliate) to, provide employee benefit and compensation plans for the benefit of employees who are actively employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date (“Company Employees”), while employed by the Surviving Corporation (or Parent or any Affiliate of Parent), with total compensation comprised of (i) an annual base salary or base

wage that is no less than the annual base salary or base wage in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) employee benefits; such that the aforementioned total compensation under (i) and (ii) is at least substantially equivalent in the aggregate to that provided as of the date hereof to similarly situated employees of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries whose workplace is in the United States. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or other Affiliate of Parent, to provide to each Company Employee whose employment is terminated by the Surviving Corporation (or Parent or any of its Affiliates) without “cause” during the period commencing on the Closing Date, and specifically excluding any voluntary resignation by any Company Employee, and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date with the severance payments and benefits to which the Company Employee would have been entitled under the applicable severance pay plan of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed in Section 3.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule immediately prior to the Effective Time taking into account the Company Employee’s length of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries as provided in Section 6.12(b), subject to the terms of the severance plan, including the requirement to sign a waiver and release, if applicable.

(b) With respect to any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA maintained by Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries in which a Company Employee will participate effective as of or after the Effective Time (collectively, “Parent Plans”), Parent shall recognize, or cause to be recognized, all service of Company Employees with the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (and any predecessors thereto) that is reflected in the books and records of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to the same extent and for the same purpose as recognized by the Company immediately prior to the Closing Date, for vesting, eligibility and level of benefits and benefit accrual in any Parent Plan in which such Company Employees will be eligible to participate after the Effective Time, in each case except to the extent that recognizing such service would result in a duplication of benefits. To the extent any Company Employee participates in a Parent Plan that provides medical, dental, or other welfare benefits following the Closing Date (a “Parent Welfare Plan”), Parent and such Parent Subsidiaries will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause all participation waiting periods and preexisting condition and similar exclusions under each Parent Welfare Plan that would otherwise be applicable to such Company Employee (and his or her eligible spouse and dependents) to be waived to the same extent waived or satisfied under the Company Employee Plan comparable to such Parent Welfare Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date or, if later, immediately prior to such Company Employee’s commencement of participation in such Parent Welfare Plan and (ii) provide each such Company Employee (and his or her eligible spouse and dependents) with credit for any co-payments or coinsurance and deductibles paid prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, immediately prior to such Company Employee’s commencement of participation in such Parent Welfare Plan) under a Company Employee Plan (to the same extent that such credit was given under the analogous Company Employee Plan prior to the Closing Date or, if later, immediately prior to such Company Employee’s commencement of participation in such Parent Welfare Plan) in satisfying any applicable deductible, co-payment, coinsurance or maximum out-of-pocket requirements under the Parent Welfare Plans.

(c) Parent agrees to cause all Company Employee Plans to be honored in accordance with their terms as of the date hereof, provided that this Section 6.12(c) shall not be construed to limit the ability of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Company Employee Plan to the extent that such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable Company Employee Plan and Applicable Law.

(d) On or about the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the mailing of the Proxy/Prospectus, the Company shall deliver to Parent, with respect to any Persons who are “disqualified individuals” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to the Company (“Company Disqualified Persons”) and who are reasonably expected to receive any “excess parachute payments” in connection with the Merger, calculations prepared by an accounting firm showing the estimated effect of Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code with respect to such Company Disqualified Persons in connection with the Merger. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the expected date on which the Closing will occur, the Company shall deliver to Parent a report that updates the calculations provided to Parent pursuant to the preceding sentence. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and Parent shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to take any actions reasonably appropriate to mitigate and/or minimize the impact of the tax consequences

A-61

of Section 280G of the Code (including but not limited to accelerating the payment of bonuses for 2017 so that they are paid during 2017), provided that the terms of all Company Employee Plans and all employment and severance agreements shall be honored, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the affected Company Disqualified Individuals.

If the Company purchases such a “tail” policy, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

A-62

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, subject to Section 8.2, payment of the Termination Fee is not intended to be a penalty, but rather are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which payment of such Termination Fee is due and payable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 8.3(d) and Section 8.3(e) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement.

(f) No Duplication of Termination Fee. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different time and the occurrence of different events.

ANNEX B - OPINION OF NUMEREX’S FINANCIAL ADVISOR

August 2, 2017

Board of Directors

Numerex Corp.

400 Interstate Parkway, Suite 1350

Atlanta, GA 30339-2119

Lady and Gentlemen:

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“Deutsche Bank”) has acted as financial advisor to Numerex Corp. (the “Company”) in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 2, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Sierra Wireless, Inc. (’’Parent”), the Company and Wireless Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), which provides, among other things, for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, as a result of which the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Transaction”). As set forth more fully in the Merger Agreement, as a result of the Transaction, each share of class A common stock, no par value per share (the “Company Class A Common Stock”), of the Company, other than shares owned by the Company, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive 0.1800 of a common share, no par value per share (the “Parent Common Stock”), of Parent (the “Exchange Ratio”).

You have requested our opinion, as investment bankers, as to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the outstanding shares of Company Class A Common Stock, excluding Parent and its affiliates.

In connection with our role as financial advisor to the Company, and in arriving at our opinion, we reviewed certain publicly available financial and other information concerning the Company, certain internal analyses, financial forecasts and other information relating to the Company prepared by management of the Company (the “Company Forecasts”), and certain publicly available financial and other information concerning Parent, including publicly available financial forecasts relating to Parent furnished to or discussed with us by the management of Parent and certain adjustments thereto and extrapolations thereof based on financial and operating metrics furnished to or discussed with us by the management of Parent, prepared at the direction of the Company and approved by the Company for our use (the “Parent Forecasts”). We have also held discussions with certain senior officers of the Company regarding the businesses and prospects of the Company and Parent and with certain senior officers and other representatives and advisors of Parent regarding the businesses and prospects of Parent. In addition, we have (i) reviewed the reported prices and

B-1

Numerex Corp. August 2, 2017 Page 2

trading activity for the Company Class A Common Stock and Parent Common Stock, (ii) to the extent publicly available, compared certain financial and stock market information for the Company and Parent with, to the extent publicly available, similar information for certain other companies we considered relevant whose securities are publicly traded, (iii) reviewed, to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain recent business combinations which we deemed relevant, (iv) reviewed the Merger Agreement and the letter agreement, dated August 2, 2017 (the “HCP Agreement”), between HCP-FVF, LLC (“HCP”) and the Company relating to the surrender by HCP of a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 895,944 shares of Company Class A Common Stock in connection with the Transaction, and (v) performed such other studies and analyses and considered such other factors as we deemed appropriate.

We have not assumed responsibility for independent verification of, and have not independently verified, any information, whether publicly available or furnished to us, concerning the Company, Parent or the combined company, including, without limitation, any financial information considered in connection with the rendering of our opinion. Accordingly, for purposes of our opinion, we have, with your knowledge and permission, assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all such information. We have not conducted a physical inspection of any of the properties or assets, and have not prepared, obtained or reviewed any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets or liabilities), of the Company, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries, nor have we evaluated the solvency or fair value of the Company, Parent or the combined company (or the impact of the Transaction thereon) under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. With respect to the Company Forecasts made available to us and used in our analyses, we have assumed with your knowledge and permission that such forecasts have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the matters covered thereby. As you are aware, we have not been provided with, and we did not have access to, financial forecasts relating to Parent prepared by management of Parent. We have been advised by the management of Parent that Parent is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause it to conclude that the Parent Forecasts are not a reasonable basis, and, at the direction of the Company, we have assumed that the Parent Forecasts are a reasonable basis, upon which to evaluate the future financial performance of Parent and, accordingly we have used the Parent Forecasts for purposes of our analysis and opinion. In rendering our opinion, we express no view as to the reasonableness of the Company Forecasts or the Parent Forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based. We have also assumed, at the direction of the Company, that the Transaction will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our opinion is necessarily based upon

B-2

Numerex Corp. August 2, 2017 Page 3

economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting our opinion of which we become aware after the date hereof.

For purposes of rendering our opinion, we have assumed with your knowledge and permission that, in all respects material to our analysis, the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, without any waiver, modification or amendment of any term, condition or agreement that would be material to our analysis. We also have assumed with your knowledge and permission that all material governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required in connection with the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained and that in connection with obtaining any necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents, no restrictions, terms or conditions will be imposed that would be material to our analysis. We are not legal, regulatory, tax or accounting experts and have relied on the assessments made by the Company and its other advisors with respect to such issues.

This opinion has been approved and authorized for issuance by a Deutsche Bank fairness opinion review committee and is addressed to, and is for the use and benefit of, the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with and for the purpose of its evaluation of the Transaction. This opinion is limited to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Company Class A Common Stock (excluding Parent and its affiliates) as of the date hereof. This opinion does not address any other terms of the Transaction, the Merger Agreement, the HCP Agreement or any other agreement entered into or to be entered into in connection with the Transaction. You have not asked us to, and this opinion does not, address the fairness of the Transaction, or any consideration received in connection therewith, to the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company, nor does it address the fairness of the contemplated benefits of the Transaction. We express no opinion as to the merits of the underlying decision by the Company to engage in the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative transactions or business strategies. Nor do we express an opinion, and this opinion does not constitute a recommendation, as to how any holder of shares of Company Class A Common Stock should vote with respect to the Transaction. In addition, we do not express any view or opinion as to the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount or nature of any compensation payable to or to be received by any of the officers, directors, or employees of any party to the Transaction, or any class of such persons, in connection with the Transaction whether relative to the Exchange Ratio or otherwise. In particular, we express no opinion with respect to the consideration to be received by HCP in exchange for the surrender of the Warrant pursuant to the HCP Agreement or the relative fairness of the Exchange Ratio as compared with the consideration to be received by HCP in exchange for

B-3

Numerex Corp. August 2, 2017 Page 4

the surrender of the Warrant. This opinion does not in any manner address what the value of the Parent Common Stock actually will be when issued pursuant to the Transaction or the prices at which the Company Class A Common Stock, the Parent Common Stock or any other securities will trade following the announcement or consummation of the Transaction.

Deutsche Bank will be paid a fee for its services as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Transaction, a portion of which becomes payable upon delivery of this opinion (or would have become payable if Deutsche Bank had advised the Board of Directors that it was unable to render this opinion) and a substantial portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Transaction. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Deutsche Bank for its expenses, and to indemnify Deutsche Bank against certain liabilities, in connection with its engagement. We are an affiliate of Deutsche Bank AG (together with its affiliates, the “DB Group”). The DB Group may provide investment and commercial banking services to Parent and the Company in the future, for which we would expect the DB Group to receive compensation. In the ordinary course of business, members of the DB Group may actively trade in the securities and other instruments and obligations of Parent, the Company and their respective affiliates for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers. Accordingly, the DB Group may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities, instruments and obligations.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing assumptions, limitations, qualifications and conditions, it is Deutsche Bank’s opinion as investment bankers that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Company Class A Common Stock (excluding Parent and its affiliates).

Very truly yours,

DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC.

ARTICLE I

In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
