FORM 8-K: UPDATE TO SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND PIPE SIGNING
Pursuant to Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), Powerfleet stockholders
are advised that a Form 8-K (the "Form 8-K") has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 27, 2024, the Company, together with I.D. Systems, Inc. ("IDSY") and Movingdots GmbH
("Movingdots"), each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Facility Agreement (the "Facility
Agreement") with FirstRand Bank Limited (acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division) ("RMB"), pursuant to
which RMB agreed to provide the Company with a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $125 million
(the "RMB Term Facility"). The Facility Agreement was entered into in connection with the Company's previously
announced acquisition of Fleet Complete (as defined below). The proceeds of the RMB Term Facility are being used
by the Company to pay the purchase price for such acquisition.
The Company's obligations under the RMB Term Facility are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Company,
IDSY and Movingdots. The RMB Term Facility is secured by a first priority security interest over the entire share capital
of IDSY, Movingdots, Main Street 2000 Proprietary Limited and Powerfleet Canada Holdings Inc., each a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. No other assets of the Company will serve as collateral under the RMB Term Facility.
The RMB Term Facility will mature on the last business day of the month that is five years following the closing date
of the Facility Agreement (the "Maturity Date"). Borrowings under the RMB Term Facility may be voluntarily prepaid
at any time upon prior written notice, in whole or in part, subject to payment of a refinancing fee equal to (i) 2% of the
amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs before the first anniversary of the closing date of the Facility Agreement, or
(ii) 1% of the amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or after the first anniversary of the closing date of the
Facility Agreement but before the second anniversary of such closing date. No refinancing fee is payable if prepayment
occurs on or after the second anniversary of the closing date of the Facility Agreement. If voluntary prepayments are
made in part, they must be made in minimum amounts of $5 million in integral multiples of $1 million. In addition, the
Facility Agreement provides for certain customary mandatory prepayment requirements.
The RMB Term Facility does not amortize and will be payable on the Maturity Date.
Borrowings under the RMB Term Facility will bear interest at 5% per annum (provided no event of default is
continuing), plus the applicable term SOFR reference rate (or an interpolated rate if SOFR is unavailable).
The Company is required to pay a non-refundable deal structuring fee of $1.25 million to RMB. The Company is also
required to pay certain costs and expenses to RMB in connection with the Facility Agreement.
The Facility Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants
with respect to the ratio of the Company's consolidated total net borrowings to consolidated EBITDA and the ratio of
the Company's consolidated EBITDA to consolidated total finance costs. The Facility Agreement also includes
representations, warranties, events of default and other provisions customary for financings of this type. The occurrence
of any event of default under the Facility Agreement may result in all outstanding indebtedness under the RMB Term
Facility becoming immediately due and payable.
The foregoing description of the Facility Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Facility Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K and incorporated by
reference herein.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 1, 2024, the Company, Powerfleet Canada Holdings Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the
Province of Ontario and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Canadian SPV"), and Golden Eagle Topco,
LP, a limited partnership formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario ("Golden Eagle LP"), entered into an
Amending Agreement No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2024 (as
amended, the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among Golden Eagle LP, the persons that are party to the Purchase
Agreement under the heading "Other Sellers" (the "Other Sellers" and, together with Golden Eagle LP, the "Sellers"),
the Company and Canadian SPV (collectively, the "Purchasers"), to provide for a pre-closing internal reorganization of
Complete Innovations Holdings Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario ("CIH"), and
certain of its subsidiaries completed immediately prior to closing the Acquisition (as defined below). Following the
entry into the Amendment, the Company consummated the previously announced acquisition of Fleet Complete (the
"Acquisition") contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers acquired all of the direct and indirect common shares in
the capital of Golden Eagle Canada Holdings, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario
("Canada Holdco"), and CIH, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Golden Eagle Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with Canada Holdco and CIH, "Fleet Complete"), in exchange for payment by
the Purchasers of an aggregate purchase price of $200 million, subject to certain customary working capital and other
adjustments as described in the Purchase Agreement (as adjusted, the "Purchase Price").
$15 million of the Purchase Price payable in the Acquisition was satisfied by the issuance of 4,285,714 shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Rollover Shares") to Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("OTPP"), which was an
existing indirect shareholder of Fleet Complete, with the remainder paid in cash. $60 million of the cash portion of the
Purchase Price was funded by a private placement of the Company's common stock, as described below, and $125
million of the cash portion of the Purchase Price was funded with the RMB Term Facility. Approximately $3.85 million
of the Purchase Price has been placed into escrow to secure purchase price adjustment payment obligations under the
Purchase Agreement and certain tax liabilities.
Concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition, on October 1, 2024, the Company consummated the previously
announced private placement contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2024 (the
"Subscription Agreement"), by and among the Company and various accredited investors party thereto (the "Investors"),
pursuant to which the Investors purchased from the Company, and the Company issued to such Investors, an aggregate
of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Private Placement Shares") at a price per share of $3.50
for aggregate gross proceeds of $70 million (the "Private Placement"). $60 million of such gross proceeds funded a
portion of the Purchase Price with the remaining $10 million in proceeds expected to be used by the Company for
working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Subscription Agreement restricts the Company from issuing, offering or selling additional shares of its common
stock for a period of 60 days after the closing date of the Acquisition and the Private Placement, subject to certain
exceptions.
The Subscription Agreement requires the Company to file one or more registration statements, as necessary, to register
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the resale of the Private Placement Shares no later
than 60 days after the closing of the Private Placement. In connection with the issuance of the Rollover Shares,
Powerfleet also entered into a registration rights agreement with OTPP (the "Registration Rights Agreement"),
providing OTPP with the same resale registration rights provided to the Investors.
In order to induce the Investors to participate in the Private Placement, each of the Company's directors and named
executive officers entered into a lock-up agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Subscription
Agreement, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, each such director and executive
officer agreed not to dispose of shares of the Company's common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for
shares of the Company's common stock, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 60 days after the closing of the
Private Placement.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement (including the Amendment), the form of Subscription Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, to the Form 8-K
and are incorporated by reference herein.
