Sierra Wireless Establishes Automatic Share Purchase Plan

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 29, 2016--Sierra Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW) (“Sierra Wireless” or the “Company”) today announced that, in connection with its previously announced normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”) to purchase for cancellation up to 3,149,199 of its common shares (“Common Shares”), it entered into an automatic share purchase plan (“APP”) with a designated broker to allow for the purchase of Common Shares under the NCIB at times when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase shares due to regulatory restrictions.

Pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 10b5-1 and applicable Canadian provincial securities legislation, including the guidance under the Ontario Securities Commission’s Staff Notice 55-701, an APP permits the broker to effect repurchases of Common Shares in the future on an automatic basis regardless of any material, non-public information the Company may be in possession of at such time. An APP can only be established at a time when the Company is not in possession of material, non-public information. Once the APP is established, the Company is not permitted to exercise any further discretion or influence over how repurchases will occur under the APP. Purchases of Common Shares by the broker are subject to certain price limitations and other parameters prescribed by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), applicable securities laws and the terms of the APP. The Company may only suspend or terminate the APP in the future if it is not in possession of any material, non-public information at the time and it notifies the public accordingly. The APP has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will be implemented effective February 29, 2016. The first purchases under the APP may commence on April 1, 2016, following the completion of a voluntary 30-day “cooling-off period”.

The NCIB commenced on February 9, 2016, and will terminate no later than February 8, 2017. All repurchases made under the APP will be included in computing the number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB. As of February 29, 2016, the Company has repurchased a total of 549,583 Common Shares under the NCIB.

Forward-looking statements:

• Typically include words and phrases about the future such as “outlook”, “will”, “may”, “estimates”, “intends”, “believes”, “plans”, “anticipates” and “expects”.

• Are not promises or guarantees of future performance. They represent our current views and may change significantly.

These risk factors and others are discussed in our Annual Information Form and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which may be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and in our other regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States and the Provincial Securities Commissions in Canada and include the following:

• competition from new or established service providers or from those with greater resources;

• the loss of any of our significant customers;
• cyber-attacks or other breaches of our information technology security;
• our reliance on single source suppliers for certain components used in our products;

• our dependence on wireless network carriers to promote and offer acceptable wireless data services;
• we are subject to governmental regulation;
• the transmission, use and disclosure of user data and personal information could give rise to liability or additional costs;
• we may not be able to obtain necessary rights to use software or components supplied by third parties; and
• we have operations outside of North America and therefore are subject to risks inherent in foreign jurisdictions.
