Sierra Wireless Provides Update on Proposed Board Composition and 2020 Management Information Circular

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2020--Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the leading IoT solutions provider that combines devices, network services and software to unlock value in the connected economy, today provided an update on the proposed Board composition and 2020 Management Information Circular (the “Circular”). As set forth in the Circular dated April 20, 2020, in connection with the Company’s upcoming Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the Meeting”), the Company has recommended to shareholders that they consider and, if deemed appropriate, pass a special resolution authorizing the Company to amend its articles to increase the maximum number of directors of the Company from nine to twelve (the “Board Expansion Resolution”). See “Business of the Meeting - Amendment of Articles” in the Circular.

The Company advised in the Circular that, subject to the approval of the Board Expansion Resolution, the Board of Directors of the Company would appoint Martin Mc Court, Mark Twaalfhoven and Raj Talluri as directors of the Company following the Meeting.

It has since come to the Company’s attention that Mr. Raj Talluri will not be able to join the Company’s Board of Directors in the event that the Board Expansion Resolution is passed at the Meeting.

The Company will provide an update in advance of the Meeting if an additional candidate is to be put forward.
