Inseego Announces CFO Transition

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG) (the "Company"), a leading global provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) and solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that Michael Newman, Chief Financial Officer, has decided to resign from his position effective May 15, 2017 for family and personal reasons. He will serve in an advisory role to assist in the conclusion of the Company's sale of its MiFi business and the transition to a new permanent CFO.

Mr. Newman will be replaced by Interim CFO Tom Allen. Mr. Allen previously served as Interim CFO for Inseego's predecessor company, Novatel Wireless, from June 2014 to September 2014, when Mr. Allen transitioned the CFO role to Mr. Newman. Inseego will undertake a comprehensive search for a permanent CFO.

"We have made great strides in transitioning Inseego from a hardware-only supplier of mobile broadband products to a predominantly SaaS and solutions provider for the Internet of Things," said Sue Swenson, Chief Executive Officer of Inseego. "We thank Mike for his positive contributions to these efforts."

Continued Ms. Swenson, "I am also pleased to announce that Tom Allen will serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer. I worked closely with Tom during his prior tenure with this company and was very impressed with his strong financial, operational and administrative abilities and leadership. He's a seasoned public-company executive and has actually been assisting us on a consulting basis over the last three years, which means he knows our executive team, business, and Board, and will hit the ground running. We are fortunate to have someone of Tom's caliber serve as our Interim CFO."

Said Mr. Newman, departing CFO, "It has been a privilege to work with such a talented team at Inseego. While my portion of Inseego's transformational journey is coming to a close, with Inseego's latest financing concluded earlier this week, I believe the company is well-positioned for the future and in great hands with Sue, Tom and the entire executive team. As I focus on my family, I am proud of the passion and dedication the team has showed during our monumental transition from a hardware only business to a SaaS and solutions provider, and I will remain close to the company as it executes its strategic vision."
