Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D (as so amended, the “Statement”) is being filed by the undersigned to amend the Statement as originally filed with the SEC on August 15, 2016. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement. The security to which this statement relates is shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Novatel Wireless, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 9645 Scranton Road San Diego, California.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
No material change.
Item 3. Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated as follows.
As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 3,808,296 shares of Common Stock, which were acquired between April 16, 2015 and September 15, 2016 for an aggregate consideration of approximately $9,534,893. The source of the purchase price for the shares of Common Stock was capital contributions from Mr. Miller. No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Common Stock.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
No material change.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Based on calculations made in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d), each Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 3,808,296 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 7.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(b) By virtue of the relationships between and among the Reporting Persons described in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the 3,808,296 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
