Statement of Wavecom’s Board on Executive Compensation

Regulatory News:

At its February 2, 2009 meeting, the Board of Directors of Wavecom S.A. (Paris:AVM) (NASDAQ:WVCM) acknowledged the consolidated version of the AFEP/MEDEF Corporate Governance Code for public companies which, in particular, includes new recommendations on executive directors’ compensation.

As a general rule, the Board of Directors considers that Wavecom’s Code of Corporate Governance, adopted in 2003 and regularly updated since then, complies with the spirit of the AFEP/MEDEF Code.

Therefore, the Board of Directors decided to continue to adhere to the corporate governance principles, and more particularly those relating to executive directors’ compensation, set by the AFEP and the MEDEF.

However, the Board of Directors notes one reservation relating to the potential severance payment to be made to the CEO in case of his voluntary resignation in the event of a change in control of the Company. In its meeting of November 17, 2008 when performance criteria were set that the CEO must meet in order to receive a potential severance payment (in compliance with the French TEPA Law), the Board of Directors approved the possibility that such severance payment could be made in case of voluntary departure of the CEO following a change in control of the Company. The performance criteria, as well as the possibility that such severance payment would be made in case of voluntary departure remain subject to approval by the shareholders at a general meeting of Wavecom shareholders.

In all cases, and with the exception of the above reservation based on Wavecom’s specific circumstances and current situation, the Board of Directors subscribes entirely to the AFEP/MEDEF recommendations.
