Inseego (INSG) Announces Exchange Offer Expiration and Results

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$119,750,000 aggregate principal amount of the Novatel Wireless Notes had been validly tendered for exchange and not withdrawn, representing approximately 99.79% of the outstanding Novatel Wireless Notes.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.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange any securities, nor shall there be any exchange of the Inseego Notes for Novatel Wireless Notes pursuant to the exchange offer and consent solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such jurisdiction.
