Currently, we are not paying dividends. Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share, and are entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by law. Holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion, redemption or sinking fund rights.

The outstanding shares of our Common Stock are fully paid andnon-assessable, and all shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus, or issuable upon conversion or exercise of securities, will, when issued, be validly issued and fully paid andnon-assessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock are subject to the rights, preferences and privileges of any series of Preferred Stock that we have issued or may issue in the future.
Each share of Common Stock includes Series D Preferred Stock purchase rights (the “Rights”) pursuant to the rights agreement, dated as of January 22, 2018, between Inseego and the rights agent named therein (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). Prior to the occurrence of certain events, the Rights will not be exercisable or evidenced separately from the Common Stock. The Rights have no value except as reflected in the market price of the shares of the Common Stock to which they are attached, and can be transferred only with the shares of our Common Stock to which they are attached.
Preferred Stock
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we may issue shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series. Our Board is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of Preferred Stock. Our Board may, without stockholder approval, issue Preferred Stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock, which may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our Common Stock. The ability of our Board to issue Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could have anti-takeover effects, including by delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or the removal of our existing management.
