Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Restructuring Support Agreement

On May 31, 2024, CalAmp Corp. (“CalAmp”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CalAmp Wireless Networks Corporation, LoJack Global LLC and Synovia Solutions LLC (collectively, the “Company”) entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP (together with its direct and indirect affiliates, “Lynrock”), as lender under the Secured Term Loan Facility, and the holder of Secured Notes Claims (collectively, the “Consenting Lenders”). The RSA contemplates a financial restructuring of the Company’s debts by, among other things, (i) amending and restating the Secured Term Loan Facility with a lower interest rate and longer maturity date, (ii) converting the approximately $229 million of Convertible Senior Secured Notes held by Lynrock to equity, and (iii) paying allowed unsecured claims in full in cash or such other treatment so as to render such claims unimpaired. The Company will seek to effectuate the RSA through a joint prepackaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will become a private company. The Plan further contemplates that existing equity interests of CalAmp, including warrants, options, restricted stock units and preferred stock units, will be cancelled.

The foregoing description of the RSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the RSA which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. Further, the foregoing description is subject to the risks and uncertainties and other factors set forth in the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements” included under Item 8.01 below.

 

Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

 

Chapter 11 Filing

On June 3, 2024 (the “Petition Date”), CalAmp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CalAmp Wireless Networks Corporation, LoJack Global LLC and Synovia Solutions LLC (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as “debtors in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors sought approval of a variety of “first day” motions containing customary relief intended to assure the Company’s ability to continue its ordinary course operations and make a smooth transition into Chapter 11.

The Company will seek an order (the “NOL Order”) regarding the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The NOL Order, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court, will be designed to assist the Debtors in preserving certain of their tax attributes by establishing, among other things, procedures (including notice requirements) that certain stockholders and potential stockholders must comply with regarding transfers of the Common Stock, as well as certain obligations with respect to notifying the Debtors of current stock ownership.

The Debtors will seek prompt confirmation of the Plan and to emerge from the Chapter 11 proceeding a significantly de-levered company.

Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to Bankruptcy Court documents, is available online at https://cases/stretto.com/CalAmp, a website administered by a third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The documents and other information on this website are not part of this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference herein.

The foregoing description is subject to the risks and uncertainties and other factors set forth in the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements” included under Item 8.01 below.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors and Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On May 22, 2024, Jill Frizzley was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Ms. Frizzley was appointed to serve for a term expiring at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and until her successor is duly elected and qualified or until her earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board has determined that Ms. Frizzley qualifies as an independent director.

Ms. Frizzley currently serves as President of Wildrose Partners, LLC, an independent consulting company providing governance and related advisory services to corporations, a position she has held since 2019. Ms. Frizzley served as Counsel in the Business Finance &


Restructuring Group at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP from 2016-2019, and previously practiced in the Business Finance Group at Shearman & Sterling LLP from 2000-2016. Ms. Frizzley has served as a director on numerous public and private boards of directors.

In connection with her appointment to the Board, Ms. Frizzley and the Company entered into an Independent Director Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2024 (the “Independent Director Agreement”), pursuant to which Ms. Frizzley agreed to serve as a director of the Company. The Independent Director Agreement provides for a monthly fee of $35,000, without proration. This compensation is in lieu of the compensation Ms. Frizzley would otherwise be eligible to receive under the Company’s compensation program for non-employee directors.

The Board further approved the appointment of Ms. Frizzley to serve as the sole member of a special committee (the “Special Committee”). The purpose of this Special Committee is to investigate, review, and evaluate any matters of conflict, including (a) certain rights, authority, and powers in connection with any matters pertaining to any claims or causes of action of the Company in which a conflict of interest exists or is reasonably likely to exist between the Company (the “Conflict Matters”); and (b) the tasks of reviewing, negotiating, evaluating, opposing, prosecuting, litigating, proposing, approving and/or entering into settlement terms and conditions in response to, arising from, in connection with or related to the Conflict Matters. Ms. Frizzley’s appointment to the Special Committee was based upon the Board determination that she has no interest in any Conflict Matters and does not possess any material business, close personal relationships, or other affiliations, or any history of any such material business, close personal relationships, or other affiliations, with the Company or any of its equity holders, affiliates, directors, managers, officers, or other stakeholders that would cause her to be unable to exercise independent judgment based on the best interests of the Company or make decisions and carry out her responsibilities as a member of the Board.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Frizzley and any other person, pursuant to which Ms. Frizzley was selected as a director of the Company. There are no familial relationships between Ms. Frizzley and any director, executive officer or other employee of the Company. Ms. Frizzley has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On June 3, 2024, the Company issued a press release in connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding the Company’s Securities

The Company cautions that trading in its securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. In particular, the Company believes that its equity holders could experience a complete loss on their investment, depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K, and certain materials CalAmp files with the SEC, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by CalAmp, other than statements of historical fact, contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including but not limited to statements regarding the Chapter 11 Cases. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions, projections and management’s beliefs that are subject to change. There can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will be achieved; these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond CalAmp’s control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: risks attendant to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process, including the Company’s ability to obtain court approval from the Bankruptcy Court with respect to motions or other requests made to the Bankruptcy Court throughout the course of the Chapter 11 process; the effects of Chapter 11, including increased legal and other professional costs necessary to execute the Chapter 11 process and on the Company’s liquidity and results of operations (including the availability of operating capital during the pendency of Chapter 11); the length of time that the Company will operate under Chapter 11 protection and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of Chapter 11; the Company’s ability to continue funding operations through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process, and the possibility that it may be unable to obtain any additional funding as needed; the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations during the Chapter 11 process and to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the effect of the Chapter 11 filings on the Company’s relationships with vendors, regulatory authorities, employees and other third parties; possible proceedings that may be brought by third parties in connection with the Chapter 11 process and risks associated with third-party motions in Chapter 11; employee attrition and the Company’s ability to retain senior management and other key personnel due to the distractions and uncertainties; the impact and timing of any cost-savings


measures and related local law requirements in various jurisdictions; and the impact of litigation and regulatory proceedings. The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks, which are described more fully in CalAmp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2023, as amended, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in its other filings with the SEC. CalAmp undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Consenting Lenders from acquiring additional Company Claims/Interests; provided, however, that (a) such additional Company Claims/Interests shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Consenting Lender be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to counsel to the Company Parties or counsel to the Required Consenting Lenders), (b) such Consenting Lender must provide notice of such acquisition (including the amount and type of Company Claims/Interests acquired) to counsel to the Company Parties and counsel to the Required Consenting Lenders within five (5) Business Days of such acquisition, and (c) such additional Company Claims/Interests shall be treated as if such Consenting Lender had ownership of such Company Claims/Interests on the date such Consenting Lender first executed this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all Transfers of Term Loan Claims and Secured Notes Claims shall remain subject to the terms of the applicable Prepetition Facilities Documents.
8.04.
Notwithstanding Section 8.01, a Qualified Marketmaker that acquires any Company Claims/Interests with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Company Claims/Interests shall not be required to execute and deliver a Joinder in respect of such Company Claims/Interests if (i) such Qualified Marketmaker subsequently Transfers such Company Claims/Interests (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) within ten (10) Business Days of its acquisition to a transferee that is an Entity that is not an Affiliate, affiliated fund, or affiliated Entity with a common investment advisor of the Qualified Marketmaker; (ii) the transferee otherwise is a Permitted Transferee under Section 8.01; and (iii) the Transfer otherwise is a permitted Transfer under Section 8.01. To the extent that a Consenting Lender is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) any right, title, or interests in Company Claims/Interests that the Qualified Marketmaker acquires from a holder of the Company Claims/Interests who is not a Consenting Lender without the requirement that the transferee be a Permitted Transferee.
8.05.
The Company Parties understand that the Consenting Lenders are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company Parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations set forth in this Agreement shall only apply to the trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) of the Consenting Lenders that principally manage and/or supervise each Consenting Lender’s investment in the Company Parties, and shall not apply to any other trading desk or business group of each Consenting Lender, so long as they are not acting at the direction or for the benefit of such Consenting Lender or in connection with such Consenting Lender’s investment in the Company Parties.

20


 

8.06.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 8 shall not apply to the grant of any liens or encumbrances on any claims and interests in favor of a bank or broker-dealer holding custody of such claims and interests in the ordinary course of business and which lien or encumbrance is released upon the Transfer of such claims and interests.
Section 9.

Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to all Parties automatically, without any further action required by any Party, immediately upon the occurrence of the Plan Effective Date.
12.05.
Effect of Termination. Except as set forth in Section 14.21, upon the occurrence of the Termination Date as to a Party, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect as to such Party, and each Party subject to such termination shall be released from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement and shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had, had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Restructuring Transactions or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, including with respect to any and all Company Claims/Interests; provided, however, that in no event shall any such termination relieve any Party from (a) liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement prior to the Termination Date or (b) obligations under this Agreement which by their terms expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date prior to the Confirmation Order being entered by the Bankruptcy Court, any and all consents or ballots tendered by the Parties subject to such termination with respect to the Restructuring Transactions, in each case, before the Termination Date, shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with the Restructuring Transactions, this Agreement, or otherwise (without the need to seek an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or consent from the Company Parties or any other applicable Party allowing such change). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company Parties or any of the Consenting Lenders from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with its terms or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement that arose or existed before the Termination Date. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict (i) any right of any Company Party or the ability of any Company Party to protect and preserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any Consenting Lender, and (ii) any right of any Consenting Lender, or the ability of any Consenting Lender, to protect and preserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any Company Party. No purported termination of this Agreement shall be effective under this Section 12.05 or otherwise if the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement is in material breach of this Agreement, except a termination pursuant to Section 12.04. Nothing in this Section 12.05 shall restrict any Company Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.02(b).
Section 13.
Amendments and Waivers.
(a)
Except as otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement (including as to the content of any Definitive Document) may not be modified, amended, or supplemented, and no condition or requirement of this Agreement may be waived, in any manner except in accordance with this Section 13.
(b)
This Agreement may be modified, amended, or supplemented, or a condition or requirement of this Agreement may be waived, in a writing signed by the Company Parties and the Required Consenting Lenders; provided, however, that (A) if the proposed modification, amendment, waiver or supplement materially and adversely affects any of the Term Loan Claims

26


 

or Secured Notes Claims held by a Consenting Lender in a manner that is different or disproportionate in any material respect from the effect such modification, amendment, or supplement has on the Term Loan Claims or Secured Notes Claims held by other Consenting Lenders, other than in proportion to the amount of such Term Loan Claims or Secured Notes Claims, then the consent of each such affected Consenting Lender shall also be required to effectuate such modification, amendment, waiver or supplement, (B) any modification or amendment to the definitions of “Required Parties” and any other defined term whose definition affects the population covered by “Required Parties” shall require the consent of all Parties, and (C) any modification or amendment to the definitions of “Required Consenting Lenders” and any other defined term whose definition affects the population covered by “Required Consenting Lenders” shall require the consent of all Consenting Lenders.
(c)
Any proposed modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement to this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13 shall be ineffective and null and void ab initio.
(d)
The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power, or remedy or any provision of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or remedy, or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.
Section 14.

Independent Due Diligence and Decision Making. Each Consenting Lender hereby confirms for the benefit of the other Parties and their respective advisors that (i) it has the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the securities that may be acquired by it pursuant to the Restructuring Transactions contemplated hereby and has had such opportunity as it has deemed adequate to obtain such information as is necessary to permit such Party to evaluate the merits and risks of the securities that may be acquired by it pursuant to the Restructuring Transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) that its decision to execute this Agreement and participate in any of the Restructuring Transactions contemplated hereby has been based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions, and prospects of the Company Parties and/or the Restructuring Transactions, and such decision is not in reliance upon any representations or warranties of any other Person (or such other Person’s financial, legal or other professional advisors), other than such express representations and warranties of the Parties contained herein.
14.13.
Waiver. If the Restructuring Transactions are not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, remedies, claims, and defenses and the Parties expressly and fully reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims, and defenses. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms or the payment of damages to which a Party may be entitled under this Agreement.
14.14.
Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages may be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party, and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.

14.17.
Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at Law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.

No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between any of the Consenting Lenders and/or the Company Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Consenting Lender by the Company Parties and vice versa, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the Parties. The decision to commit to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently. No Consenting Lender shall, as a result of its entering into and performing its obligations under this Agreement, be deemed to be part of a “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with any other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no action taken by a Consenting Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute or to create a

31


 

presumption by any of the Parties that the Consenting Lenders are in any way acting in concert or as such a “group.”
14.21.
Survival. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12, the terms, provisions, agreements and obligations of the Parties in Section 1, Section 6.01(o), Section 12.05 and Section 14 (other than Section 14.03 and Section 14.22), and any defined terms used in any of the foregoing Sections (solely to the extent used therein), shall survive such termination and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof.
14.22.
Publicity. Except as required by Law, no Party or its advisors shall (a) use the name of any Consenting Lender in any public manner (including in any press release) with respect to this Agreement, the Restructuring Transactions or any of the Definitive Documents or (b) disclose to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Consenting Lender), other than advisors to the Company Parties (who are under obligations of confidentiality to the Company Parties with respect to such disclosure, and whose compliance with such obligations the Company Parties shall be responsible for), the principal amount or percentage of any Company Claims/Interests held by any Consenting Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company Claims/Interests acquired pursuant to any Transfer) without such Consenting Lender’s prior written consent (it being understood and agreed that each Consenting Lender’s signature page to this Agreement shall be redacted to remove the name of such Consenting Lender and the amount and/or percentage of Company Claims/Interests held by such Consenting Lender); provided, however, that (i) if such disclosure is required by Law, advance notice of the intent to disclose, if permitted by applicable Law, shall be given by the disclosing Party to each Consenting Lender (who shall have the right to seek a protective order prior to disclosure) and (ii) the foregoing shall not prohibit the disclosure of the aggregate percentage or aggregate principal amount of Company Claims/Interests held by all Consenting Lenders of the same class, collectively. The Company Parties further agree that such information shall be redacted from “closing sets” or other representations of the fully executed Agreement, any Joinder or Transfer agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Parties will submit to the advisors to the Required Consenting Lenders all press releases, public filings, public announcements or other communications with any news media, in each case, to be made by the Company Parties relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and any amendments thereof for the prior approval by the Required Consenting Lenders at least two (2) Business Days (it being understood that such period may be shortened to the extent there are exigent circumstances that require such public communication to be made to comply with applicable Law) in advance of release. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to waive, amend or modify the terms of any Confidentiality Agreement. Each Consenting Lender hereby consents to the disclosure of the execution of this Agreement by the Company Parties, and the terms hereof (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Consenting Lender’s identity or individual holdings), in any filings by the Company Parties with the SEC, or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, or the rules of any applicable stock exchange or regulatory body.

CALAMP REACHES COMPREHENSIVE AGREEMENT TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE DEBT, GO PRIVATE, AND STRENGTHEN FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY TO SUPPORT INNOVATION THROUGH A CONSENSUAL FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING
 

Lynrock to become the principal equity owner and take CalAmp private

Continues to operate business as usual throughout this process

Enhanced liquidity to invest in innovation to support customers’ evolving needs


IRVINE, Calif., June 3, 2024 - CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence company helping people and organizations improve operational performance with a data-driven solutions ecosystem, today announced that it has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) with its principal secured lender, Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP (“Lynrock”), who will become the principal equity owner of CalAmp and take the Company private.

In a strategic move that strengthens its financial position, CalAmp intends to exchange the approximately $229 million of Convertible Senior Secured Notes held by Lynrock into equity interests in the reorganized company. During the financial restructuring, CalAmp’s U.S. and international operations will continue without disruption, and partners will be paid in the ordinary course of business.

To most efficiently complete the go-private transaction, CalAmp has voluntarily initiated proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. CalAmp enters this process with the strong support of Lynrock who has conveyed confidence in the Company’s long-term strategy and future growth prospects. Importantly, the RSA provides a roadmap for the Company to quickly navigate through this process following court approval of its prepackaged restructuring plan.

“The savings from eliminating the interest on the debt and the overhead of being a public company will allow us to invest more significantly in the numerous opportunities we see to support our customers’ needs,” said Chris Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer of CalAmp.

CalAmp is dedicated to emerging promptly from this process with a healthy balance sheet and strong cash flow generation that will enable it to be a stronger business partner.
