The long-duration GRB 140621A (IPN localization: S. Golenetskii et al., 
GCN 16444; Konus-Wind observation: S. Golenetskii et al., GCN 16445; 
Fermi-GBM detection: G. Younes et al., GCN 16447; Swift-XRT observation: 
V. D'Elia et al., GCN 16449) triggered theSuzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor 
(WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 19:50:10.596 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure lasting from T0 to T0+7 s 
with a duration(T90) of about 6.135 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV 
was 4.96 (+0.11, -0.33) x10^-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from T0 was 
3.74 (+0.15, -0.30) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+7 s 
is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with 
alpha 0.87 (+0.30, -0.25), 
and Epeak 689 (+127, -93) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 28.3/29).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level, in which
the systematic uncertainties are not included.
