SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Inseego Corp. (successor issuer to Novatel Wireless, Inc.) (Nasdaq:
INSG), a leading global provider of solutions for the Internet of Things
(IoT), including software-as-a-service (SaaS), today announced the final
results of its previously announced consent solicitation and offer to
exchange each validly tendered and accepted $1,000 principal amount of
5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 issued by Novatel Wireless,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Inseego Corp. (the "Novatel
Wireless Notes"), for $1,000 principal amount of 5.50%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 to be issued by Inseego Corp. (the "Inseego
Notes"). The exchange offer and consent solicitation expired
immediately following 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 5, 2017.
As of the expiration of the exchange offer and consent solicitation,
$119,750,000 aggregate principal amount of the Novatel Wireless Notes
had been validly tendered for exchange and not withdrawn, representing
approximately 99.79% of the outstanding Novatel Wireless Notes. A total
of $119,750,000 of Inseego Notes will be issued in exchange for such
tendered Novatel Wireless Notes. A total of $250,000 principal amount of
Novatel Wireless Notes will remain outstanding after settlement of the
exchange offer.
As Inseego Corp. also received the necessary consents to amend the
Novatel Wireless Notes and related indenture, those Novatel Wireless
Notes that will remain outstanding following the settlement of the
exchange offer will be subject to the terms of a supplemental indenture
implementing the amendments approved by the consenting holders.
Inseego Corp. expects that the settlement of the exchange offer will
occur on January 9, 2017.
A registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333- 214966) relating to
the exchange offer and related consent solicitation was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December
7, 2016, and was declared effective by the SEC on January 4, 2017.
Inseego Corp. conducted this exchange offer and consent solicitation in
order to facilitate the previously announced planned sale of its mobile
broadband business, which includes its MiFi branded hotspots and USB
modem product lines (which is currently operated by Novatel Wireless,
Inc.) to T.C.L. Industries Holdings (H.K.) Limited, a Hong Kong limited
liability company, and Jade Ocean Global Limited, a British Virgin
Islands business company, for cash consideration of $50.0 million,
subject to potential adjustment based on the working capital and
indebtedness of Novatel Wireless, Inc. as of the closing of such sale.
The consummation of the sale is expected to occur in the first quarter
of 2017.
Jefferies LLC is acting as dealer manager for the exchange offer and
consent solicitation and D.F. King & Co., Inc. is acting as exchange
agent and information agent for the exchange offer and consent
solicitation.
