Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on May 6, 2015, CalAmp Corp. (the Company or CalAmp) sold $150 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the Notes) to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Jefferies LLC as representatives (the Representatives) of the several initial purchasers (the Initial Purchasers). The Notes were offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers (the Offering) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. See CalAmps Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2015 for a description of the Offering and related information.
On May 27, 2015, CalAmp issued an additional $22.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the Additional Notes) in connection with the full exercise of the option granted to the Initial Purchasers of the Notes pursuant to a purchase agreement with such Initial Purchasers dated April 30, 2015 (the Option Exercise). The Additional Notes have the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes and were issued pursuant to the same indenture. CalAmp received net proceeds of approximately $21.9 million from the sale of the Additional Notes, after deducting the Initial Purchasers discounts and commissions and including accrued interest.
Convertible Note Hedge Transactions
On May 21, 2015, in connection with the Option Exercise, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the Additional Note Hedges) with respect to its common stock with counterparties that include affiliates of some of the Initial Purchasers and other financial institutions (the Additional Hedge Counterparties).
The Additional Note Hedges cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Additional Notes, the number of shares of the Companys common stock that initially underlie the Additional Notes. The Additional Note Hedges are intended generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Companys outstanding common stock and/or reduce the amount of any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted Additional Notes upon any conversion of Additional Notes in the event that the market price per share of the Companys common stock is greater than the strike price of the Additional Note Hedges, which is initially equal to approximately $27.59, the approximate initial conversion price for the Additional Notes.
Warrant Transactions
On May 21, 2015, in connection with the offering of the Additional Notes, the Company also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (the Additional Warrant Transactions) with the Additional Hedge Counterparties, whereby the Company sold to the Additional Hedge Counterparties warrants to acquire, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the same number of shares of common stock that underlie the Additional Notes at a strike price of $39.42 per share, also subject to adjustment, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Companys common stock of $19.71 on April 30, 2015. The Additional Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market price of the Companys common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants on any expiration date of the Additional Warrant Transactions. The warrants were sold in private placements to the Additional Hedge Counterparties pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) thereof. None of the Additional Warrant Transactions, or the underlying shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Additional Warrant Transactions, has been registered under the Securities Act, nor may they be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.
