COMBINED PROSPECTUS AND PRELISTING STATEMENT

This Prospectus is prepared and issued in accordance with the Companies Act, the Companies Regulations and the JSE Listings Requirements for the purpose of providing statutorily required information about the PowerFleet Group to MiX Telematics Shareholders following the implementation of the Scheme, the termination of listing of all the MiX Telematics shares from the Main Board of the JSE pursuant to the Scheme and the simultaneous secondary inward listing of the Company on the Main Board of the JSE as set out in this Prospectus and the Scheme Circular.

This Prospectus has been prepared on the assumption that:

● all the Scheme Conditions, as more fully contemplated in the Scheme Circular, (including, that the special and ordinary resolutions proposed in the notice of the scheme meeting, will be passed at the Scheme Meeting) have been timeously fulfilled or waived (where capable of waiver), as the case may be and that the Scheme will be implemented; and

● all the PowerFleet resolutions proposed in the Definitive Proxy Statement to be passed by PowerFleet Shareholders will be approved by PowerFleet Shareholders.

MiX Telematics Shareholders are referred to the Scheme Circular and Definitive Proxy Statement which accompanies this Prospectus for information regarding the Transaction. In this regard, a scheme of arrangement in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act has been proposed by the MiX Telematics Board between MiX Telematics and MiX Telematics Shareholders. In the event of the Scheme Conditions being fulfilled or waived (to the extent permissible) and the Scheme becoming effective, the Company, through Merger Sub, will, by operation of law, become the sole shareholder of MiX Telematics and MiX Telematics Shareholders will, against surrender of their relevant documents of title (if applicable) in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme Circular, become entitled to receive the Scheme Consideration in exchange for their Scheme Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme Circular.

Upon implementation of the Scheme, the Scheme Shares will be delisted from the Main Board of the JSE. The PowerFleet Shares, including the PowerFleet Shares to be issued to MiX Telematics Shareholders as the Scheme Consideration, will be listed on the Main Board of the JSE by way of a secondary inward listing.

The issue of the Company’s shares to MiX Telematics Shareholders as the Scheme Consideration under the Scheme constitutes an offer to the public in terms of section 95(1)(h) of the Companies Act. This Prospectus is therefore issued in terms of section 99(3) of the Companies Act. This Prospectus is being issued, in terms of the Companies Act and Part C of Chapter 4 of the Companies Regulations.

MiX Telematics Shareholders are referred to the detail contained in the section titled “Important dates and times” on page 7 of this Prospectus, for important dates and times applicable to the Transaction.

As at 30 September 2023:

● the authorised share capital of the Company comprised:

– 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share;

– 150,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share;

● The issued share capital comprised:

– 37,212,304 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share;

– 60,182.266 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share;

– 1,485,111 treasury shares; and

● the paid-up share capital of the Company was USD233,811 thousand.

Pursuant to the implementation of the Transaction and based on the issued share capital of MiX Telematics and PowerFleet as at the Last Practicable Date, it is expected that:

●         the authorised share capital will be 175,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share;

●         the issued share capital will be 107,923,479 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share;

●         there will be no issued shares of preferred stock;

●         there will be 1,496,247 treasury shares in issue; and

●         the paid-up share capital of the Company will be USD465,595 thousand.

The Scheme Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the Scheme will rank pari passu with all other shares of common stock issued by PowerFleet. There are no conversion or redemption provisions relating to any of the Scheme Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the Scheme. The Scheme Consideration Shares will be issued in dematerialised form only. No certificated Scheme Consideration Shares will be issued. Any fractional interest in Scheme Consideration Shares that may result from the Swap Ratio being applied to the number of PowerFleet Shares issued by PowerFleet pursuant to the Scheme will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in issues of whole Scheme Consideration Shares, and cash in respect of any fractional entitlement to a Scheme Consideration Share.

The issue of the Scheme Consideration Shares is, among other things, subject to the Scheme becoming unconditional. It should be noted that the PowerFleet Listing is subject to the Company achieving a reasonable spread of shareholders acceptable to the JSE at the point of listing, being public shareholders holding not less than 10% of the PowerFleet Shares in issue across all share registers on the JSE and at least 10% of the PowerFleet Shares on the JSE. Confirmation of the shareholder spread will be provided to the JSE by no later than 48 hours prior to the PowerFleet Listing.

Based on the share registers of MiX Telematics and PowerFleet as at 30 November 2023, post implementation of the transaction, it is expected that 88.33% of PowerFleet shares will be held by public shareholders across all the registers and 17.34% will be held by public shareholders on the SA register. It is not expected there will be substantial changes to the composition of the combined share register. Based on the combined register as at the date of listing it is expected that PowerFleet will meet the requisite shareholder spread as prescribed in terms of paragraphs 4.28(e) and 18.10 of the JSE Listings Requirements.

The JSE has approved the Company’s application for the listing by introduction of 107,923,479 PowerFleet Shares (excluding any options to PowerFleet Shares that may mature prior to the PowerFleet Listing) in the “15101010 – Telecommunications Equipment” sub-sector and “151010 – Telecommunications” sector of the JSE list with the abbreviated name “Power”, JSE share code “PWR” and ISIN US73931J1097 and LEI 2549007NKEFPYEH4MF81 which trading in respect of the Scheme Consideration Shares to be issued in terms of the Scheme, will be with effect from the commencement of trade on Tuesday, 26 March 2024.

Since the Scheme Consideration comprises PowerFleet Shares, holding the Scheme Consideration Shares involves certain risks. See the risk factors set out in annexure 1 of this Prospectus.

The Directors, whose names are given in paragraph 2.1.5 on page 15 of this document, collectively and individually, accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information given in this Prospectus and certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no facts that have been omitted which would make any statement relating to PowerFleet false or misleading, and that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts have been made and that this Prospectus contains all information required by the law and the JSE Listings Requirements.

The MiX Telematics Board, whose members are identified in the Scheme Circular, collectively and individually, accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information given in this Prospectus (but only insofar as such information relates to MiX Telematics and only to the extent that they are required to accept such responsibility in terms of the Companies Act and/or the JSE Listings Requirements) and certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no facts that have been omitted which would make any statement false or misleading, and that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts have been made and that the Prospectus contains all information required by law and the JSE Listings Requirements.

The corporate advisors, transaction sponsor, reporting accountants and auditors, tax advisors, Transfer Secretaries, company secretary, bankers, attorneys, whose names appear under the “Corporate Information and Advisors” section of this Prospectus, have consented in writing to act in the capacities as stated and to their names being included in this Prospectus.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Capitalised terms used in this Prospectus have been defined on page 8 of this Prospectus.

DISCLAIMER

Notwithstanding that this document constitutes a prospectus for purposes of the Companies Act, it is not an offer to the general public to subscribe for PowerFleet Shares and only constitutes an offer to the MiX Telematics Shareholders to participate in the Scheme and does not constitute an offer or invitation or solicitation of an offer to subscribe for securities of the Company in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or invitation would be unlawful, or which would otherwise require the Company and/or MiX Telematics to change the material terms or conditions of the Transaction in any way, to submit to any additional filing to, or to perform any additional action in relation to, any governmental, regulatory or legal authority, and is only addressed to persons to whom it may lawfully be made.

The release, publication or distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions other than South Africa may be restricted by law and therefore persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than South Africa into which this Prospectus is released, published or distributed should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. No action has been taken or will be taken to permit the possession or distribution of this Prospectus (or any other offering or publicity materials relating to the Transaction) in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose may be required or doing so is restricted or prohibited by law. Accordingly, neither this Prospectus, nor any advertisement, nor any other offering material, may be distributed or published except under circumstances that will comply with any applicable laws and regulations. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company disclaims any responsibility or liability for the violation of such requirements by any person.

It is the responsibility of the person (including, without limitation, nominees, agents and trustees for such persons) wishing to receive this Prospectus and/or participate in the Transaction, or a component thereof, to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the applicable laws of any relevant territory, including obtaining any requisite governmental or other consents, observing any other requirements or formalities and paying any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such territories. Any MiX Telematics Shareholder who is in doubt about their position, including and without limitation their tax status, should consult an appropriate professional advisor in the relevant jurisdiction without delay.

MiX Telematics Shareholders are advised to read this Prospectus and the Scheme Circular and Definitive Proxy Statement, which contain the terms and conditions of the Transaction, with care and in full. Any decision to participate in the Scheme and/or other matters dealt with in this Prospectus and the Scheme Circular, should be made only on the basis of such information.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus contains statements about the Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics that are or may be forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those concerning: strategy; the economic outlook for the industry; production; cash costs and other operating results; growth prospects and outlook for operations, individually or in aggregate; liquidity and capital resources and expenditure, and the outcome and consequences of any pending litigation proceedings. These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect current expectations concerning future results and events and generally may be identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “believe”, “aim”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “foresee”, “forecast”, “likely”, “should”, “planned”, “may”, “estimated”, “potential” or similar words and phrases.

Examples of forward-looking statements include statements regarding a future financial position or future profits, cash flows, corporate strategy, anticipated levels of growth, estimates of capital expenditures, acquisition strategy, expansion prospects or future capital expenditure levels and other economic factors, such as, inter alia, interest rates.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. The Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results, financial and operating conditions, liquidity and the developments within the industry in which the Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics operate may differ materially from those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus.

All these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions, as regards the Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics, all of which, although the Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics believe them to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Such estimates, assumptions or statements may not eventuate. Factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in those statements or assumptions include other matters not yet known to the Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics or not currently considered material by the Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics.

4

Investors should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this Prospectus or elsewhere is applicable only at the date on which such forward-looking statement is made. New factors that could cause the business of the Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics not to develop as expected may emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all of them. The extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement are not known. None of the Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics have a duty to, nor do they intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus after the date of this Prospectus, except as may be required by law.

No forward-looking statement has been audited, reviewed or reported on by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, the Registered Auditor or the reporting accountant.

FOREIGN MIX TELEMATICS SHAREHOLDERS

This Prospectus is governed by, and will be construed and implemented in accordance with, the laws of South Africa and will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the South African courts. Accordingly, the Transaction is subject to applicable South African laws and regulations, including the Exchange Control Regulations. These South African laws may be different from the laws applicable in other jurisdictions. Certain MiX Telematics Shareholders who are resident in foreign jurisdictions may be prohibited from participating in the Transaction, or any component thereof, and should consult and obtain advice from a professional advisor in the relevant jurisdiction without delay.

No action has been taken by the Company, Merger Sub and MiX Telematics to obtain any approval, authorisation or exemption to permit the transfer of MiX Telematics Shares and/or MiX Telematics ADSs, or the possession or distribution of this Prospectus (or any other publicly available documents relating to the Scheme and the MiX Telematics Shares and/or MiX Telematics ADSs), in any jurisdiction other than South Africa and the United States.

All MiX Telematics Shareholders who are resident or whose registered addresses are in any country other than in the Common Monetary Area will be deemed to be Foreign Shareholders who cannot receive the PowerFleet Shares unless such MiX Telematics Shareholders provide the Transfer Secretaries with proof, satisfactory to the MiX Telematics Board, that such Foreign Shareholders are entitled to receive the PowerFleet Shares. MiX Telematics Shareholders’ CSDPs or Brokers, as applicable, will be responsible for informing the Transfer Secretaries of any MiX Telematics Shares held by a Foreign Shareholder and the Transfer Secretaries will be responsible for determining which Certificated Shareholders are Foreign Shareholders.

MiX Telematics, in consultation with the Company, reserves the right, but shall not be obliged, to treat as invalid any person’s participation in the Scheme which appears to MiX Telematics or its agents that, if it is effected, it will involve a breach of the securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction, or if MiX Telematics believes (in its discretion) or its agents believe that the same may violate applicable legal or regulatory requirements, or if MiX Telematics believes (in its discretion) that it is prohibited or unduly onerous or impractical to issue, distribute or transfer the MiX Telematics Shares to, or for the benefit of, any person in terms of the Transaction.

In respect of Foreign Excluded Shareholders who do not provide proof that they are entitled to receive PowerFleet Shares, MiX Telematics shall be entitled (in its discretion) to do all things necessary or desirable to ensure compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations including selling or repurchasing MiX Telematics Shares held by any such Foreign Excluded Shareholders. The cash proceeds (after deduction of any costs and taxes) from any such sale or repurchase will be repatriated to the relevant Foreign Excluded Shareholders.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE TRANSACTION

This is a summary of the Transaction and is not comprehensive. For a more detailed understanding of the Transaction and the Company, you should read the entire Prospectus and the Scheme Circular and Definitive Proxy Statement.

In the firm intention announcement published on SENS on 10 October 2023, MiX Telematics Shareholders were advised that the Company, MiX Telematics and Merger Sub had concluded an Implementation Agreement to give effect to a proposed Merger and which would, if approved by MiX Telematics Shareholders, be implemented by way of a Scheme.

Pursuant to the Scheme, if implemented, the Company (via Merger Sub) will acquire all of MiX Telematics Shares owned by MiX Telematics Shareholders, excluding treasury shares and any shares held by dissenting shareholders, in exchange for 0.12762 newly issued PowerFleet Shares per Scheme Share and, if applicable, cash in respect of any fractional entitlement to a Scheme Consideration Share.

The implementation of the Scheme will result in the listing of the MiX Telematics Shares on the Main Board of the JSE being terminated, the MiX ADSs being delisted from the NYSE and the termination of MiX Telematics’ ADS Program in accordance with the terms of the deposit agreement.

Conditional on the implementation of the Scheme, PowerFleet Shares (including the Scheme Consideration Shares) will be listed on the Main Board of the JSE by way of a secondary inward listing.

Immediately post implementation of the Merger, erstwhile MiX Telematics Shareholders will hold c.65.5% of the share capital of the PowerFleet Group.

The implementation of the Scheme is subject to the fulfilment or waiver, as the case may be, of the Scheme Conditions. If the Scheme Conditions are not fulfilled or waived, as the case may be, on or before the Outside Date, the Scheme will not become operative and will not be implemented. In such event, MiX Telematics Shareholders and ADS Holders will not receive the Scheme Consideration and will continue to hold their MiX Telematics Shares and ADSs respectively. Any exercise of appraisal rights by MiX Telematics Shareholders will not be effective. Consequently, MiX Telematics will in such circumstances continue to be the holding company of the MiX Telematics Group and will remain a publicly traded company with MiX Telematics Shares listed on the Main Board of the JSE and ADSs listed on the NYSE and the listing of PowerFleet Shares on the JSE will not take place.

The issue of PowerFleet Shares as settlement of the Scheme Consideration constitutes an “offer to the public”, in terms of section 95(1)(h) of the Companies Act. Accordingly, this Prospectus is therefore issued in terms of section 99(2) of the Companies Act which accompanies the Scheme Circular. MiX Telematics shareholders should review this Prospectus (together with the Scheme Circular) in order to make an informed assessment on the Scheme.

The Scheme Circular is not an offer to sell securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. Investors and MiX Telematics Shareholders are urged to read the Definitive Proxy Statement, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, because they will contain important information. Copies of all documents filed with the SEC regarding the Transaction and documents incorporated by reference may be obtained at the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov.

2.6.1.5 Other than as disclosed above, the Directors did not receive and will not receive any other remuneration during the fiscal year ended 31 December 2023.

2.6.1.6 The Compensation Committee has not yet determined the remuneration of the Board following the implementation of the Transaction, however, the remuneration of the Board following implementation of the Transaction is expected to be commensurate with the Company’s current practice on Board remuneration. It is not expected that the Board’s remuneration following implementation of the Transaction will increase in any material way. Any additional remuneration that may be paid to Directors or officers of PowerFleet pursuant to the implementation of the Transaction is likely to take place in PowerFleet’s financial year ending 31 December 2024 considering that the Transaction will only be implemented in the 2024 financial year of PowerFleet. The PowerFleet Board, following implementation of the Transaction and the appointment of additional members (as contemplated in paragraph 2.1.3 of this Prospectus), will make determinations on remuneration of Directors and officers for the 2024 financial year and, until such time, the remuneration of Directors and officers will not be known as it relates to periods after the 2023 financial year.

2.6.1.7 PowerFleet entered into a severance agreement with Steve Towe on 5 January 2022, which provides that, subject to Mr. Towe’s delivery of a general release (which releases PowerFleet from any additional obligations in respect of his employment and indemnifies PowerFleet against any legal suits or claims that may be brought by Mr Towe), Mr. Towe will be entitled to certain severance payments and benefits upon (i) the termination of Mr. Towe’s employment by PowerFleet without cause or (ii) the termination of Mr. Towe’s employment by PowerFleet without cause or Mr. Towe’s resignation for good reason within six months following a “change in control event” including, inter alia, cash payments either (a) at twice the rate of Mr. Towe’s annual base salary, in the event of a termination without cause, or (b) at twice the rate of his annual base salary, in the event of a termination without cause or resignation for good reason within six months of a change in control event and any bonus that would have otherwise been payable to Mr. Towe for the calendar year prior to termination.

2.7.1.5	Transaction specific bonuses for MiX Telematics’ Directors and employees
	Subject to the implementation of the Transaction, certain MiX Telematics employees and executive directors may be entitled to transaction bonuses. Details of these bonuses are set out in paragraph 30 of the Scheme Circular.

2.7.2 PowerFleet incentive schemes

2.7.2.1	PowerFleet has three incentives schemes under which equity awards were outstanding as at 31 December 2022. These plans consist of the PowerFleet, Inc. 2018 Incentive Plan, the I.D. Systems 2015 Equity Compensation Plan and the 2009 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan.
2.7.2.2	In terms of the 2018 Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock options, restricted stock and other equity-based awards with respect to up to an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a vesting period of approximately four to five years. There were 1,349,000 shares available for future issuance under the 2018 Incentive Plan as of 31 December 2022. The 2018 Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which has the authority to determine, among other things, the term during which an option may be exercised (not more than 10 years), the exercise price of an option and the vesting provisions. The Company recognises all employee share-based payments in the statement of operations as an operating expense, based on their fair values on the applicable grant date.
2.7.2.3	With effect from the approval of the 2018 Incentive Plan, each of the I.D. Systems 2015 Equity Compensation Plan and the 2009 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plans”) are frozen and no new awards issued under the Prior Plans. With respect to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans, the Prior Plans remain in place and any awards granted under the Prior Plans shall continue to be subject to the terms of the Prior Plans and applicable award agreement approved by the Compensation Committee (including any such terms that are intended to survive the termination of the Prior Plans or the settlement of such an approved award and shall remain in effect pursuant to their terms.
2.7.2.4	Although the Transaction, as structured, does not fall within the “change in control” definition for purposes of the PowerFleet equity plans, the Transaction will result in an effective change of control of PowerFleet, as current MiX Telematics Shareholders are expected to hold approximately 65.5% of PowerFleet on a fully diluted basis immediately following the implementation of the Scheme. Accordingly, on 9 October 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the acceleration of vesting of unvested restricted stock and stock option awards with time-based vesting conditions that are outstanding under the PowerFleet equity plans (including any inducement awards with time-based vesting), subject to and conditioned upon the closing of the Transaction.

20

2.8	Borrowing powers of Directors
	Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the governance of a Delaware corporation resides with the corporation’s board of directors and corporations are authorised to borrow money at such rates of interest as the corporation may determine. As such, the Directors are authorised to enter into loan arrangements at rates the Directors determine. There are no exchange control or other restrictions on the borrowing powers of the Company.
2.9	Management of the Company

2.9.1	The Board is responsible for the management of the business, affairs and direction of the Company and for establishing broad corporate policies. No part of the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is managed, or proposed to be managed, by any third party under a contract of management or other arrangement. Members of the Board are kept informed of the Company’s business through various documents and reports provided by the CEO and other corporate officers, and by participating in Board and committee meetings. Each Director has access to all of the Company’s books, records and reports, and members of management are available at all times to answer their questions.
2.9.2	The Board is not classified or staggered, and all Directors hold office until the next annual meeting of PowerFleet Shareholders or until their respective successors are elected and qualified.
2.9.3	The Board has determined that, with the exception of Mr. Towe, each of the Company’s current Directors and Director nominees satisfies the current “independent director” standards established by the Nasdaq rules.

2.10 Approach to corporate governance

2.10.1	The Company is committed to good corporate governance and is responsible for the management and direction of the Company and for establishing broad corporate policies. The Company’s governance documents are available on the Company’s website at https://ir.powerfleet.com/corporate-governance/ governance-documents. The company is cognisant of the guidelines of corporate governance set out in the King Code. The Company is incorporated in the United States and is listed on the Nasdaq and has a secondary listing on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, as such, the Company is required to comply with corporate governance principles applicable to US companies and as required by the Nasdaq and does not apply the principles of the King Code.
2.10.2	The Company does not have a social and ethics committee as this is not a requirement under laws applicable to it and does not have a comparable committee. The Company confirms that as far as it is aware, it is in compliance with the corporation laws applicable to its Board or committees and the Directors are not aware of any material non-compliance.
2.10.3	Further, the Company confirms that it is in compliance with the relevant laws applicable in respect of its establishment and is operating in conformity with its Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws.
2.10.4	Board Leadership Structure
	The Company currently separates the roles of the chairman of the Board and CEO. The CEO sets the strategic direction for the Company, working with the Board, and provides day-to-day leadership, while the chairman leads the Board in the performance of its duties and serves as the principal liaison between the independent directors and the CEO. The separation of the roles of chairman and CEO allows the Company’s independent chairman to focus on governance of the Board, Board meeting agenda planning, Board committee responsibilities, investor engagement and outreach on governance matters, and the CEO to focus his attention on the Company’s business and execution of the Company’s strategy. While the Board believes that this leadership structure is the most effective for the Company at this time, it continues to evaluate the composition of the Board to determine what leadership structure is most appropriate for the Company and PowerFleet Shareholders.
2.10.5	PowerFleet Board Committees

2.10.5.1 The PowerFleet Board is supported and assisted by three standing committees being, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee (“Committees”). Each of the Committees have clear mandates and oversight responsibility for various aspects of the Company. The responsibilities delegated to each of the Committees are formally documented in the applicable charters for each Committee, which are approved by the PowerFleet Board. The Company does not have a social and ethics committee and will not establish one as this is not a requirement that the Company is required to comply with in the US.

21

2.10.5.2 As at the Last Practicable Date, the composition of the Company’s Committees pursuant to the Transaction had not yet been determined by the Company and MiX Telematics. It is intended that prior to the implementation of the Transaction, the Board will reconstitute the Committees in accordance with the applicable Delaware law and Nasdaq rules.

2.10.6 Audit Committee

2.10.6.1	The Audit Committee is established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the U.S. Exchange Act. The Audit Committee must be composed of at least three directors who are considered independent under Nasdaq rule 5605(c)(2) and rule 10A-3 under the U.S. Exchange Act, one of whom must be an “audit committee financial expert”.

The Audit Committee Charter specifies, among other things, the structure and membership requirements of the Audit Committee, as well as the relationship of the Audit Committee to the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and management.
2.10.6.3	In accordance with the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee assists the PowerFleet Board in monitoring (i) the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process including internal controls regarding financial reporting, (ii) compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and (iii) the independence and performance of the Company’s internal and external auditors, and serves as an avenue of communication among the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, management and the Board.

2.10.7 Compensation Committee

2.10.7.1	The Compensation Committee must be composed of directors who are considered independent within the meaning of Nasdaq rule 5605(a)(2).

The PowerFleet Board has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee, a copy of which is publicly available on the Company’s website at https://ir.powerfleet.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents (“Compensation Committee Charter”). The Compensation Committee Charter sets forth the responsibilities, authority and specific duties of the Compensation Committee and is reviewed and reassessed annually. The Compensation Committee Charter specifies that the Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for evaluating and recommending to the Board for approval the Company’s Director and officer compensation plans, policies and programs. The Compensation Committee Charter also specifies that the Compensation Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees of the Compensation Committee when appropriate; however, the Compensation Committee may not delegate authority to any other persons. For compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee considers recommendations relating to compensation for executive officers (other than the CEO) from the CEO and includes the CEO in its discussions with respect to such compensation, and considers compensation information provided by compensation consultants, if any, retained by the Compensation Committee for such purpose.
2.10.7.3	Compensation Committee meetings typically involve a preliminary discussion with the CEO prior to the Compensation Committee deliberating without any members of management present. For compensation decisions, including decisions regarding the grant of equity compensation relating to executive officers (other than the CEO), the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of the CEO and includes the CEO in its discussions. The Compensation Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees of the Compensation Committee when appropriate.

2.10.8 Nominating Committee

2.10.8.1 The Nominating Committee must be composed of directors who are considered independent within the meaning of Nasdaq rule 5605(a)(2).

22

2.10.8.2 The Board has adopted a written charter for the Nominating Committee, which is publicly available on the Company’s website at https://ir.powerfleet.com/corporate-governance/ governance-documents (“Nominating Committee Charter”). The Nominating Committee Charter authorises the committee to develop certain procedures and guidelines addressing certain nominating matters, such as procedures for considering nominations made by PowerFleet Shareholders, minimum qualifications for nominees and identification and evaluation of candidates for the PowerFleet Board, and the Nominating Committee has adopted procedures addressing the foregoing. The Nominating Committee has adopted guidelines describing the minimum qualifications for nominees and the qualities or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. Each nominee:

2.10.8.2.4	must have a working knowledge of the types of responsibilities expected of members of the board of directors of a public company; and
2.10.8.2.5	must have experience, either as a member of the board of directors of another public or private company or in another capacity that demonstrates the nominee’s capacity to serve in a fiduciary position.

2.10.9	Board Diversity
	The following Board diversity matrix presents the Board diversity statistics in accordance with Nasdaq rule 5606, as self-disclosed by the persons who will become Directors immediately following the implementation of the Transaction.

2.11 Risk Oversight

2.11.1 The Board has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process and regularly reviews issues that present particular risk to the Company, including those involving competition, customer demands, economic conditions, planning, strategy, finance, sales and marketing, products, information technology, facilities and operations, supply chain, legal and environmental matters and insurance. The Board further relies on the Audit Committee for oversight of certain areas of risk management. In particular, the Audit Committee focuses on financial and enterprise risk exposures, including internal controls, and discusses with management and the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including risks related to fraud, liquidity, credit operations and regulatory compliance, and advises the internal audit function as to overall risk assessment of the Company.

23

2.11.2

While the Board oversees risk management, Company management is charged with managing risk. Management communicates routinely with the Board, committees of the Board and individual Directors on significant risks that have been identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed frequently do, communicate directly with senior management.

2.11.3

The Company believes that its leadership structure, discussed above, supports the risk oversight function of the Board. The separation of the chairman and CEO positions aids in the Board’s oversight of management, independent directors chair the various Board committees involved with risk oversight, there is frequent and open communication among management and directors, and all directors are actively involved in the risk oversight function. The Board believes that this approach provides appropriate checks and balances against undue risk-taking.

2.12	Code of Ethics
	PowerFleet has a code of ethics (“Code of Ethics”) that applies to the CEO, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, controller and treasurer. A copy of the Code of Ethics can be found on the Company’s website at https://ir.powerfleet.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents. The Code of Ethics is intended to be a codification of the business and ethical principles that guide the Company, and to deter wrongdoing, to promote honest and ethical conduct, to avoid conflicts of interest, and to foster full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures, compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations and accountability for adherence to this code. The Company will post any amendment to the Code of Ethics, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed by the rules of the SEC or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, on the Company’s website.
2.13	Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

2.13.1

The Company’s policy prohibits conflicts between the interests of the Company’s employees, officers and Directors and the Company. A conflict of interest exists when an employee, officer, or Director’s personal interest interferes or may interfere with the interests of the Company. When it is deemed to be in the best interests of the Company and PowerFleet Shareholders, the Audit Committee may grant waivers to employees, officers and Directors who have disclosed an actual or potential conflict of interest, which waivers are subject to approval by the Board. This policy is included in the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Employees, Officers and Directors which is available at Company’s website at https://ir.powerfleet.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents.

2.13.2

In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for annually reviewing any transactions or series of similar transactions to which the Company is or was a party and in which any director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, or members of any such person’s immediate family, have had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The Audit Committee’s procedures for reviewing related party transactions are not in writing. Since 1 January 2021, there has not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which the Company is or was a party in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any Director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, or members of any such person’s immediate family, have had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. As at the Last Practicable Date, the Company’s common stock is the Company’s only class of voting securities.

SECTION 2: INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTION AND THE SCHEME

Capitalised terms used in this section of the Prospectus have been defined on page 8 of this Prospectus.

This section contains a summary of certain terms of the Merger to be implemented by way of the Scheme. The full terms of the Transaction are set out in the Scheme Circular. MiX Telematics Shareholders are advised to read this Prospectus and the Scheme Circular and Definitive Proxy Statement, which contain the terms and conditions of the Transaction, with care and in full.

1.  RATIONALE AND PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

1.1  Rationale for the Scheme

1.1.1 Both MiX Telematics and PowerFleet are currently listed on public exchanges with the primary aim of securing efficient access to capital markets to facilitate expansionary initiatives and accelerate growth, obtain scale and create value for shareholders.

1.1.2 MiX Telematics and PowerFleet have however remained sub-scale and neither has been able to consistently access reasonably-priced equity capital to pursue expansionary strategic objectives.

1.1.3 The proposed Transaction, if implemented, is expected to combine a strong pipeline of new business opportunities and technology with an improved capital structure and increased scale and represents a potential opportunity for both MiX Telematics and PowerFleet to achieve benefits associated with increased scale and benefit from one another’s complementary business models, markets, strategies and operating platforms to deliver enhanced value to the shareholders of MergeCo.

1.1.4 MiX Telematics and PowerFleet anticipate several benefits for shareholders of MiX Telematics and PowerFleet should the proposed Transaction be implemented, including:

1.1.4.1 Market Leadership – The proposed Transaction will create a global SaaS AIoT provider with significant scale, elevating the strategic position of MergeCo globally. The increased scale of the MergeCo business is expected to enable it to more efficiently serve its customers and more effectively compete in an industry which is characterised by a high pace of development and innovation.

1.1.4.2 Market Consolidation Platform – The proposed Transaction will create an enlarged MergeCo platform that the parties believe will be well positioned to capitalise on consolidation opportunities in the global AIoT industry. As a result, MergeCo should be able to benefit from enhanced market presence and influence.

1.1.4.3 Scale and Data Strategy – With a combined base of approximately 1.7 million connections, following the implementation of the proposed Transaction, MergeCo is expected to simultaneously achieve significant scale and enhance its data ingestion strategy, which should enable MergeCo to harness the benefits associated with improved data-driven insights.

1.1.4.4 Geographic Diversification – The combination of geographies served by MiX Telematics and PowerFleet reduces MergeCo’s proportionate exposure (compared to MiX Telematics’ proportionate exposure on a stand-alone basis) to developing markets, thereby mitigating foreign currency risks and creating opportunities for accelerated market penetration through cross-selling and upselling into various geographies.

1.1.4.5 Research and Development Excellence – Pooling the research and development capabilities of MiX Telematics and PowerFleet is expected to enable MergeCo to deliver top class solutions and gain a competitive advantage.

1.1.4.6 Opportunities for Revenue and EBITDA Expansion – Complementary product sets which will co-exist, following the implementation of the proposed Transaction, within MergeCo create cross-selling and upselling opportunities, while significant efficiency and cost rationalisation could be realised, bolstering MergeCo’s profitability and returns for shareholders following the implementation of the proposed Transaction.

36

1.1.4.7 Capital Structure and Liquidity – Simplifying the capital structure (including the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock) is expected to enhance liquidity and enable improved access to capital, underpinning the financial stability of MergeCo and creating a solid platform to facilitate future growth. The effective conversion of the ADSs into direct MergeCo shareholding and the migration of MergeCo’s primary listing to Nasdaq is expected to enhance equity capital market liquidity within MergeCo’s primary investor market, whilst maintaining the benefits of a JSE listing for the South African MergeCo register.

1.1.4.8 Business Model Evolution – The proposed Transaction will enable MergeCo to transition to an expanded bundled subscription model, which should facilitate increased recurring subscription revenues, greater future revenue visibility and margin expansion.

1.1.5 Following the implementation of the Scheme, the Company will become the registered and beneficial owner of the entire issued ordinary share capital of MiX Telematics and MiX Telematics will become an indirect subsidiary of the Company and the listing of MiX Telematics on the Main Board of the JSE will be terminated.

6.            LITIGATION STATEMENT

6.1 PowerFleet litigation (amounts in USD ’000s)

6.1.1 In August 2014, Pointer do Brasil Comercial Ltda. (“Pointer Brazil”), a subsidiary of PowerFleet, received a notification of lack of payment of VAT tax (Brazilian ICMS tax) in the amount of $211 plus $1,119 of interest and penalty, totalling $1,330 as of 30 September 2023. The Company is vigorously defending this tax assessment before the administrative court in Brazil, but in light of the administrative and judicial processes in Brazil, it could take up to 14 years before the dispute is finally resolved. In case the administrative court rules against the Company, the Company could claim before the judicial court, an appellate court in Brazil, a substantial reduction of interest charged, potentially reducing the Company’s total exposure. The Company’s legal counsel is of the opinion that the chance of loss is not probable and for this reason the Company has not made any provision.

6.1.2 In July 2015, Pointer Brazil received a tax deficiency notice alleging that the services provided by Pointer Brazil should be classified as “telecommunication services” and therefore Pointer Brazil should be subject to the state value-added tax. The aggregate amount claimed to be owed under the notice was approximately $12,861 as of 30 September 2023. On 14 August 2018, the lower chamber of the State Tax Administrative Court in São Paulo rendered a decision that was favourable to Pointer Brazil in relation to the ICMS demands, but adverse in regards to the clerical obligation of keeping in good order a set of ICMS books and related tax receipts. The remaining claim after this administrative decision is $218. The state has appealed to the higher chamber of the State Tax Administrative Court. The Company’s legal counsel is of the opinion that the chance of loss is not probable and that no material costs will arise in respect to these claims. For this reason, the Company has not made any provision.

6.1.3 On 24 February 2022, Pointer Mexico received a notification for 2016 and 2017 tax assessment in the amounts of $268 and $476, respectively, regarding the underpayment of VAT and government fees from the Mexican Tax Service (“MTS”). Under the statute and case law, Pointer Mexico was entitled to appeal before the MTS or file a lawsuit before the Federal Court of Administrative Justice. On 19 April 2022, Pointer Mexico filed an appeal for revocation of the assessment. On 2 May 2022, Pointer Mexico filed additional evidence before the MTS. As of 31 August 2023, the cases have been closed and no payments were imposed.

6.2            MiX Telematics Litigation

6.2.1 On 15 April 2019, the Competition Commission of South Africa (the “Commission”) referred a matter to the Competition Tribunal of South Africa (“Tribunal”). The Commission contends that the Company and a number of its channel partners have engaged in market division. Should the Tribunal rule against MiX Telematics, the Company may be liable to an administrative penalty in terms of the Competition Act, 89 of 1998. The Company cooperated fully with the Commission during its preliminary investigation.

6.2.2 The Tribunal has set the matter for hearing from 24 June to 2 July 2024. Leading up to that date various intermediary steps such as discovery, filing of witness statements and trial bundle exchanges will take place.

6.3 Other than as disclosed above, there are no legal or arbitration proceedings, including any such proceedings that are pending or threatened, of which the Company or MiX Telematics is aware, that may have or have had in the recent past or at least the previous 12 months, a material effect on the PowerFleet Group’s financial position (on an enlarged basis including MiX Telematics).

7. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION AND INVESTMENT ENCOURAGEMENT   There is no government protection nor any investment encouragement law affecting the business of the Company.

8. CONSENTS

The advisors and experts named in the “Corporate information and Advisors” section on page 1 of this Prospectus have provided the required consents and have not withdrawn their consents.

9. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN APPLICABLE SOUTH AFRICAN AND U.S. REGULATORY/LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORKS

The below sets forth certain differences between the South African regulatory/legislative framework (being the JSE Listings Requirements, Companies Act and Companies Regulations) and the U.S. regulatory and legislative framework (being Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), Nasdaq rules and U.S. federal and state securities laws) applicable to PowerFleet as a US incorporated company with a primary listing on the Nasdaq. Given that the PowerFleet Listing on the Main Board of the JSE will be a secondary inward listing, PowerFleet may not be subject to all the JSE Listings Requirements. This comparison information is in summary form only and does not contain the details of all the differences between applicable South African and U.S. regulatory and legislative requirements.

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework	Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents
Exchange regulator: JSE	Exchange regulator: Nasdaq
The JSE is the lead regulator for the exchange, setting and enforcing listing and membership requirements as well as trading rules. The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (“FSCA”) supervises the JSE in the performance of its regulatory rights and duties, which are derived from statute, through the FMA. The JSE is empowered by the FMA to investigate possible breaches of the JSE Listings Requirements and, depending on the outcome of such investigation, may undertake disciplinary and/or remedial action in respect of the listed company or its directors, whether individually or jointly. Such action may include private or public censure, the imposing of a fine and the suspension or delisting of a company.	As a US national securities exchange, Nasdaq is considered a self-regulatory organisation (“SRO”) under the U.S. securities law framework. The SEC is vested with general oversight of SROs and has established the requirements for the rules and process that SROs must adopt. Among other things, under these rules SROs, including Nasdaq, are required to file any proposed new rule or rule change with the SEC and, in most cases, obtain SEC approval before a new rule becomes effective. The SEC also has the authority to review Nasdaq’s disciplinary actions and to, from time to time, inspect and examine Nasdaq generally. The SEC is further empowered to investigate and bring disciplinary actions against Nasdaq and its employees for violations of U.S. securities laws.

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework

Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents

Pre-emptive rights: The JSE Listings Requirements requires that the memorandum of incorporation of an issuer must provide that unissued equity securities shall be offered to existing shareholders, pro rata to their shareholdings, unless such securities are to be issued for an acquisition of assets. The memorandum of incorporation must provide that shareholders in general meeting may authorise the directors to issue unissued securities, and/or grant options to subscribe for unissued securities, as the directors in their discretion deem fit, provided that such corporate action(s) has/have been approved by the JSE and are subject to the JSE Listings Requirements. In addition, an issuer proposing to issue equity securities for cash must first offer those securities (unless the issue is an acquisition issue) effected by way of rights offer, to existing holders of equity securities in proportion to their existing holdings. Only to the extent that such are not taken up by holders of equity securities under the offer may they then be issued for cash to other persons or otherwise than in the proportion mentioned above. To the extent that holders of securities of an issuer provide their authorisation by way of ordinary resolution, the issue by an issuer of equity securities for cash, made otherwise than to existing holders of securities in proportion to their existing holdings, will be permitted in respect of a specific issue of equity securities for cash for such equity securities issue, and in respect of a general issue of equity securities for cash, for a fixed period of time thereafter in accordance with general authority in place. Expropriation rights in respect of securities: The JSE Listings Requirements permit expropriation of shares in the instances of an odd-lot offer where the issuer’s memorandum of incorporation permits odd-lit offers and where the specific odd-lot has been approved by shareholders in general meeting. In addition, the JSE must be advised of any expropriation rights in respect of securities.

Pre-emptive rights: Pre-emptive rights provisions generally do not apply to publicly traded stock. PowerFleet’s certificate of incorporation does not provide for preemptive rights for its common stock. Under PowerFleet’s certificate of incorporation, as specifically permitted by the DGCL, the PowerFleet board is authorised to establish from time to time new series of preferred stock and to fix the terms of such preferred stock. However, PowerFleet will still need to obtain stockholder approval in order to amend the certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorised shares of preferred stock. In addition, Nasdaq’s listing rules require stockholder approval prior to certain issuances of securities in connection with: (a) the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company; (b) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; (c) a change of control; and (d) transactions other than public offerings (i.e. private placements of securities). Furthermore, Nasdaq has a voting rights rule, which provides that voting rights of shareholders of publicly traded common stock cannot be disparately reduced or restricted through any corporate action or issuance. For example, under the voting rights rules, a company cannot create a new class of security that votes at a higher rate than an existing class of securities or take any other action that has the effect of restricting or reducing the voting rights of an existing class of securities. Lastly, the SEC’s proxy rules contain fairly extensive disclosure requirements that PowerFleet must comply with in seeking stockholder approval for (a) the authorisation or issuance of securities (including a description of (i) the terms of the securities to be issued and (ii) the relevant transaction in which they are to be issued) and (b) the modification of any class of securities (by charter amendment) (including a description of (i) any material differences between the outstanding securities and modified securities, (ii) the reasons for the proposed modification, and (c) any other material features of the proposed modification, as well as pertinent financial information).

47

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework	Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents
	Expropriation rights in respect of securities: Expropriation mainly takes place in the context of mergers. In the case of a merger of a corporation into another entity, a stockholder that does not vote in favor of a transaction that is approved by the requisite stockholder vote will still have its shares automatically converted into the right to receive the merger consideration at the effective time of the merger, subject to any exercise by such stockholder of statutorily available appraisal rights. The SEC’s proxy rules contain fairly extensive disclosure requirements that the Company must comply with in seeking stockholder approval for (a) the authorisation or issuance of securities (including a description of (i) the terms of the securities to be issued and (ii) the relevant transaction in which they are to be issued) and (b) the modification of any class of securities (by charter amendment) (including a description of (i) any material differences between the outstanding securities and modified securities, (ii) the reasons for the proposed modification, and (c) any other material features of the proposed modification, as well as pertinent financial information). Similar to the JSE Listings Requirements, the SEC permits odd-lot offers and allows for expropriation under odd-lot offers. Odd-lot offers are also permitted under the Nasdaq Rules and the DGCL. There are no expropriation rights included in the terms of the PowerFleet Shares.
Transfer and transferability of securities: The securities for which listing is sought must be fully paid up and, unless otherwise required by statute or at the discretion of the JSE (taking into account the objects of the FMA), be freely transferable. The JSE Listings Requirements further provides that the JSE will not list shares that are not fully paid for upon listing.	PowerFleet Shares shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law (including the DGCL and federal securities laws), its certificate of incorporation and its bylaws. Transfers of PowerFleet Shares shall be made only on the books of the Company or by transfer agents designated to transfer shares of stock of the Company. Subject to applicable law, PowerFleet Shares represented by certificates shall be transferred only on the books of PowerFleet by the surrender to PowerFleet or its transfer agent of the certificate representing such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment or power of attorney properly executed, and with such proof of authority or the authenticity of signature as PowerFleet or its transfer agent may reasonably require. Except as may be otherwise required by law, its certificate of incorporation or its bylaws, PowerFleet shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect to such stock, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock until the shares have been transferred on the books of PowerFleet in accordance with the requirements of the bylaws. There are no restrictions on transferability included in the terms of the PowerFleet Shares and, other than the methods of transfer set out above, the PowerFleet Shares are transferable by PowerFleet Shareholders.

48

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework	Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents
Ranking, preferences, rights, limitations and other share terms: All the shares of any particular class authorised by a company have preferences, rights, limitations and other terms that are identical to those of other shares of the same class ie all shares of the same class are ranked pari passu. The preferences, rights, limitations and other terms attaching to a class of shares must be set out in the company’s memorandum of incorporation and can only be amended by amending the memorandum of incorporation.	Under the DGCL, the shares of any particular class or series of stock authorised by a corporation shall have the ranking, preferences, rights, limitations and other terms that are set forth in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Once authorised, the ranking, preferences, rights, limitations and other terms attaching to a class or series of stock can only be amended by amending the certificate of incorporation. All shares of common stock of PowerFleet have the same ranking, preferences, rights, limitations and other terms.
Special voting rights in respect of securities: Each share issued by a company has associated with it one general voting right except as provided for in the Companies Act or in the company’s memorandum of incorporation. Despite anything to the contrary in a company’s memorandum of incorporation, every share issued by that company has an irrevocable right of the shareholder to vote on any proposal to amend the preferences, rights, limitations and other terms associated with that share. If there is only one class of shares, those shares have a right to be voted on every matter that may be decided by shareholders of the company.	As a Delaware corporation whose common stock is primarily listed on the Nasdaq and registered with the SEC, PowerFleet is subject to a myriad of requirements regarding stockholder approval of amendments to its certificate of incorporation (also referred to as a “charter”) and issuances of its capital stock authorised thereunder. The primary body of law that regulates charter amendments is the law of the state of incorporation, which, in the case of PowerFleet, would be Delaware law. Under the DGCL, amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation require (a) approval of the board of directors and (b) majority stockholder approval and (subject to limited exceptions) approval of the holders of a majority in voting power of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, except that the following amendments to a certificate of incorporation only require approval of the board of directors: (i) an amendment solely to change the name of the corporation, and certain other minor administrative changes, or (ii) an amendment that reclassifies by subdividing the issued shares of a class of stock into a greater number of issued shares of the same class of stock, provided the corporation has only 1 class of stock outstanding and such class is not divided into series (in other words, an amendment that effects a forward stock split of a corporation’s stock where the corporation only has 1 class of stock outstanding).

49

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework

Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents

Amendment/s to the constitutional documents: a company’s memorandum of incorporation may be amended (i) in compliance with a court order, (ii) by the board of a company to alter its share capital (unless prohibited by the memorandum of incorporation) or (iii) by a special resolution of the shareholders of the company (a resolutions approved by 75% of the company’s shareholders). An amendment of a memorandum of incorporation can take the form of a new memorandum of incorporation or an alteration of an existing memorandum of incorporation.

Under the DGCL, amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation require approval by (a) the board of directors and (b) holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon and by the holders of a majority in voting power of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, subject to limited exceptions. In addition, PowerFleet’s certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of PowerFleet capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, to amend, alter, change, or repeal certain articles of the Certificate of Incorporation, which relate to the ability of stockholders to call a special meeting or act by written consent, and the threshold for amending such provisions. Subject to any additional vote required of any preferred stock, PowerFleet’s board of directors is expressly authorised to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws. In addition, stockholders of PowerFleet have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast.

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework

Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents

Appointment and removal of directors: The board of directors of a private company must comprise of at least one director and the board of directors of a public company must comprise of at least three directors, in addition to the minimum number of directors that a company must have to satisfy any requirement, whether in terms of the Companies Act or the company’s memorandum of incorporation. Directors are appointed or elected to the board of directors of a company by persons entitled to exercise voting rights in such an election or if they hold an office, title, designation or similar status entitling that person to be an ex officio director of the company. Directors may be elected to serve for an indefinite term or a term as set out in the memorandum of incorporation. A director’s election is conducted as a series of votes, each of which is on the candidacy of a single individual to fill a single vacancy, with the series of votes continuing until all vacancies on the board at that time have been filled. Each voting right may only be exercised once and a vacancy is filled only if a majority of the voting rights exercised are in support of the candidate. A director may be removed by an ordinary resolution adopted at a shareholders meeting by the persons entitled to exercise voting rights in an election of that director. A director being removed must be given notice of the meeting and resolution proposing their removal and afforded an opportunity to make representations before the shareholders consider the resolution for removal. A director may also be removed if they have become ineligible or disqualified in terms of section 69 of the Companies Act or the director is incapacitated to the extent that they are unable to perform their functions as a director and are unlikely to regain that capacity within a reasonable time.

There is no minimum number of directors required under Delaware law and the Nasdaq listing rules generally require there to be an audit committee composed of three independent directors. PowerFleet’s bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors at PowerFleet’s annual and special meetings of stockholders and for stockholders seeking to bring business before its annual meeting of stockholders. Generally, such notice must be provided no later than the 90th day, nor earlier than 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. PowerFleet’s bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice as to each person the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director. Nominations of persons for election to the PowerFleet Board may be made at a special meeting of PowerFleet Shareholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting by or at the direction of the PowerFleet Board or any committee thereof. In the event the Company calls a special meeting of PowerFleet Shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the PowerFleet Board, any such PowerFleet Shareholders entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Company’s notice of meeting. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any applicable rule or regulation promulgated under the U.S. securities laws, only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in By-Laws shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company to serve as directors. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock and except as otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or by applicable law, any director or the entire PowerFleet Board may be removed with or without cause by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

51

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework	Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents
Authority to issue shares or other securities (general and specific): The board of a company may resolve to issue shares of the company at any time, but only within the classes, and to the extent, that the shares have been authorised by or in terms of the company’s memorandum of incorporation. Shareholder approval is required for an issue of shares to (i) a director or prescribed officer of the company, (ii) persons related or inter-related to the company, a director of prescribed officer of the company, or (iii) a nominee of these persons. Shareholder approval is also required if the issue of shares will result in the voting power of the class of shares to be issued being equal to or exceeding 30% of the voting power of all the issued shares of that class. The JSE Listings Requirements facilitate the issue of new shares either by way of general authority or specific authority obtained from shareholders in general meeting (without voting restrictions in the case of a general authority and excluding the vote of shareholders participating in the issue in the case of a specific authority). Issues effected under general authority are restricted by the JSE Listings Requirements as to the number of shares issued/percentage of the listed company’s issued share capital represented by the issue, the party to whom the shares may be issued and the price or maximum discount at which the securities may be issued. Issues effected under specific authority are not subject to such restrictions, but require the preparation of a fairness opinion where the issue is effected at a discount to a related party to the company.	Under the DGCL and subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the whole or any part of any unissued balance of the authorised capital stock of the Company or the whole or any part of any shares of the authorised capital stock of the Company held in the Company’s treasury may be issued, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by vote of the PowerFleet Board in such manner, for such lawful consideration and on such terms as the PowerFleet Board may determine. In addition, Nasdaq listing rules generally require shareholder approval prior to the issuance or potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) if 20% or more of the voting power or number of shares of common stock outstanding before such issuance of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock is being issued (or is issuable), subject to certain exceptions (including a bona fide public offering for cash).
Changes in beneficial ownership of securities: Except to the extent that a company’s memorandum of incorporation provides otherwise, the company’s issued securities may be held by, and registered in the name of, one person for the beneficial interest of another person. Companies are required to file a record with CIPC regarding the individuals who are beneficial owners of the company and must ensure that the information is updated by filing notices with CIPC after any changes to beneficial ownership have occurred. An issuer receiving notice of any changes of beneficial ownership in the issuer must announce the changes within 48 hours of receipt of such notice through SENS.	Under the DGCL, securities may be in certificated or uncertificated form. PowerFleet’s certificate of incorporation provides for uncertificated securities. U.S. securities laws require that ownership changes of certain officers, directors and holders of more than 5% of a publicly traded company’s securities be disclosed within two business days, or in certain instances five business days, of such ownership change.

52

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework

Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents

Director’s interests in transactions: Directors have a duty to disclose any personal financial interests that they (or any persons related to them) may have in any matter to be considered by the board of directors of a company and may not participate in the consideration of such matter or vote on such matter. The duty of disclosure goes further than transactions and requires disclosure in respect of any matters where a personal financial interest exists. Directors are required to disclose all relevant particulars regarding the nature and extent of any material beneficial interests, whether direct or indirect, of directors of the group, including a director who has resigned during the last 18 months, in transactions that were effected by the applicant.

Generally, under the DGCL, directors of a corporation owe fiduciary duties to the corporation and its stockholders, including a duty of loyalty and a duty of disclosure to the corporation, and must notify a corporation of certain business opportunities. Under Delaware law, the duty of loyalty means the board must act in the best interests of the corporation and the stockholders, subordinating other interests (including personal interests) to that of the corporation and the stockholders. The board also has a duty to communicate honestly with stockholders and to make full and fair disclosures of all material information. Information is material if there is a substantial likelihood that the disclosure of the omitted fact would have been viewed by a reasonable stockholder as having significantly altered the total mix of information made available. Failure to comply with fiduciary duties under Delaware law subjects interested transactions to legal scrutiny and could subject directors to personal liability. Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, PowerFleet renounced any interest or expectancy of PowerFleet in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are presented to the Series A Directors, any holder of Series A Preferred Stock (or PowerFleet Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock),1 or any partner, manager, member, director, officer, stockholder, employee, agent or affiliates thereof.

4 The Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed prior to or simultaneously with the implementation of the Scheme and will subsequently be eliminated from PowerFleet’s share capital and Series A Directors will resign from the Board as soon as possible immediately after the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework

Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents

Transactions (acquisitions and disposals) and related party transactions: Any disposal of all or greater part of the assets or undertaking of a company requires approval by way of a special resolution by the shareholders of the company. Two or more profit companies, including holding and subsidiary companies, may amalgamate or merge subject to approval of a merger agreement by the shareholders of the amalgamating or merging company. The board of a company may propose and, subject to approval by way of a special resolution by shareholders, implement any arrangement between the company and holders of any class of its securities by way of a scheme of arrangement. A company must retain an independent expert to assess the effect of the arrangement on the value of the securities and the rights and interests of the shareholders or creditors of the company. The independent expert must prepare a report to the board which must be distributed to all the shareholders of the company. The JSE Listings Requirements categorise transactions involving a cash consideration with reference to a percentage ratio which is calculated by taking the total consideration for the transaction as a percentage of the aggregate market value of all the issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) of the issuer. A transaction with a percentage ratio of 5% or more but less than 30% is treated as a Category 2 transaction. Category 2 transactions do not require shareholder approval, only an announcement on SENS and an independent expert’s opinion. Transactions with a percentage ratio of 30% or more are treated as a Category 1 transactions. Category 1 transactions require approval by an issuer’s shareholders. A related party transaction representing less than 0.25% of market capitalisation or dilution (uncategorised) requires no disclosures or shareholder approvals. There are a number of exclusions as to what constitutes a related party transaction including if the transaction is in the ordinary course of business and the applicable ratios are equal to or less than 10%. Related party transactions include (i) transactions as contemplated in JSE Listings Requirements, (ii) other agreement, (iii) or any variation or novation of an existing agreement, between the issuer, or any of its subsidiaries, and a related party. A “related party” includes a material shareholder or an associate (including a trust) of a material shareholder. A “material shareholder” is any person who is (or was in the previous 12 months) entitled to control the exercise of 10% or more of the votes at the issuer’s general meetings. An “associate” includes a company where the material shareholder is beneficially interested in 35% or more of the company’s shares.

Under the DGCL, any sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a corporation’s property and assets requires the vote or approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon. Under the DGCL, a corporation may consolidate or merge with another entity, subject to the vote or approval of such merger or consolidation by the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of the corporation, except in certain limited instances. As noted above, Nasdaq listing rules generally require shareholder approval prior to the issuance or potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) if 20% or more of the voting power or number of shares of common stock outstanding before such issuance of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock is being issued (or is issuable), subject to certain exceptions (including a bona fide public offering for cash). U.S. federal securities regulations generally require public companies to disclose and describe related party transactions in which the amount involved is greater than $120,000 and the related party has a direct or indirect material interest. A related party of a company includes any director, executive officer, immediate family member of a director or executive officer, 5% or more stockholder, and immediate family member of a 5% or more stockholder. Nasdaq requires a listed company to conduct an appropriate review and oversight of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis by the company’s audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors. Nasdaq defines “related party transaction” as a transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to U.S. federal securities regulations. In addition, under Delaware law directors are subject to fiduciary duties, including a duty of loyalty to the company and duty of disclosure as described above, and conflicted transactions can subject directors to personal liability. The DGCL also provides that self-interested transactions may be entered into if (1) the conflicted transaction is approved by a majority of fully informed disinterested directors, or (2) it is approved in good faith by a vote of fully informed stockholders, or (3) it is “fair as to the corporation” at the time it is approved by the board of directors, a committee of the board, or the stockholders.

JSE Listings Requirements/South African regulatory/ legislative framework	Nasdaq rules/U.S. regulatory/legislative framework and constitutional documents
Corporate governance: Corporate governance is primarily regulated by King IV which is a set of voluntary and leading practices. Only publicly listed companies are required, by law, to comply with certain prescribed components of King IV. King IV sets out to regulate directors and their conduct not only with a view to complying with the minimum statutory standard, but also to seek to adhere to the best available practice that may be relevant to the company in its particular circumstances. Companies listed on the JSE are required in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements to consider the recommended practices and comply with the corporate governance principles set out in King IV on an “apply and explain” basis. In line with the “apply and explain” outcomes based approach in King IV, claims of good governance practices must be substantiated and disclosed in the company’s annual report. The Companies Act regulates all South African corporate entities and also contains its own corporate governance requirements including but not limited to (i) the requirements for the composition of audit committees and the qualification, experience and independence requirements for audit committee members and (ii) the requirement for all listed public companies to constitute a social and ethics committee.	Corporate governance of PowerFleet is governed by the DGCL, U.S. federal and state securities laws and the listing rules of Nasdaq. Under the DGCL, a corporation’s board of directors and management are subject to fiduciary duties to the corporation and its stockholders including, a duty of care, duty of loyalty and duty of disclosure. The U.S. federal securities laws require that publicly traded corporations take a number of actions related to corporate governance, including but not limited to, maintaining an independent audit committee, filing periodic and current reports with the SEC, adopting a code of ethics, publicly disclosing related party transactions, publicly disclosing beneficial ownership of directors, certain officers and owners of 5% or more of the company’s stock. Nasdaq requires listed companies to comply with its corporate governance standards, which include but are not limited to maintaining an independent board of directors, maintaining an audit committee and compensation committee, requiring routine meetings of the board, seeking stockholder approval of specified matters.
Pro-active monitoring process of review of financial statements of the issuer by the listing authority or any other relevant regulatory body: The JSE undertakes a process of reviewing the annual financial statements of issuers at the request of The FSCA. The JSE aims to ensure it has a view of the entire market across all sectors and all markets. In this regard the JSE ensures that issuers of all sizes are covered.	The Nasdaq generally does not review the financial statements of a listed company. Corporations that file reports with the SEC are subject to periodic review of public disclosures, including financial statements, by the SEC.

Takeover laws applicable to the issuer: please see the “Transactions (acquisitions and disposals) and related party transactions” row above. The applicable takeover laws in South Africa are contained in the Companies Act and the Companies Regulations with JSE listed issuers also being subject to the JSE Listings Requirements, see categorisation requirements for JSE listed companies above.

Under U.S. law a transaction may be subject to various statutes depending on the size and nature of the transaction. For example, certain transactions require filings and review by the Federal Trade Commission, Committee on Foreign Investment, SEC and other regulatory bodies. PowerFleet is subject to provisions of the DGCL generally prohibits “business combinations”, including mergers, sales and leases of assets, issuances of securities and similar transactions, by a corporation or a subsidiary with an interested stockholder who beneficially owns 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, within three years after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, unless: (i) the board of directors approved the acquisition of stock pursuant to which the person became an interested stockholder or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder prior to the time that the person became an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, such person owned at least 85% of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock (excluding shares owned by directors who are officers and shares owned by employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer) or (iii) after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, the transaction is approved by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

 ANNEXURE 1

RISK FACTORS

Save for the defined terms below which shall bear the meanings ascribed to such terms in the definitions list below, capitalised terms used in this ANNEXURE 1: have been defined on page 8 of this Prospectus.

MiX Telematics Shareholders are advised to carefully consider the following risk factors. You also should read and consider the risk factors associated with each of the businesses of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics because these risk factors may affect the operations and financial results of the combined company. These risk factors may be found under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in PowerFleets’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2022 and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in MiX Telematics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 March 2023, each of which is on file with the SEC.

Definitions

“MiX Special Meeting”	refers to the special general meeting of the MiX Telematics shareholders in connection with the transactions, as may be adjourned or postponed from time to time;
“PowerFleet Special Meeting”	refers to the special meeting of the PowerFleet stockholders in connection with the transactions, as may be adjourned or postponed from time to time;
“PowerFleet Specified Stockholder Approval”	refers to the approval by PowerFleet Shareholders of the PowerFleet stock issuance proposal and the PowerFleet charter amendment proposal
“we”, “our” or “us”	Refers to PowerFleet.

Risk Factors Relating to the Transactions

The number of PowerFleet Shares that MiX Telematics Shareholders will receive under the Implementation Agreement is based on a fixed Swap Ratio. The market value of PowerFleet Shares to be issued upon completion of the transactions is unknown, and therefore, MiX Telematics Shareholders cannot be certain, at the time they are being asked to vote, of the value of the Scheme Consideration to be paid in PowerFleet Shares.

MiX Telematics Shareholders will receive a fixed number of PowerFleet Shares in the transactions rather than a number of shares with a particular fixed market value. The market values of PowerFleet Shares and MiX Telematics Shares (and MiX ADSs) have fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the transactions and will continue to fluctuate from the date of this Prospectus to the date of the PowerFleet Special Meeting, the date of the MiX Special Meeting and the closing date of the transactions, which could occur a considerable amount of time after the date of the PowerFleet Special Meeting and the date of the MiX Telematics special meeting. The market values of PowerFleet Shares and MiX Telematics Shares (and MiX ADSs) at the time of the closing of the transactions may vary significantly from their prices on the date of the Implementation Agreement, the date of this Prospectus or the date of the PowerFleet Special Meeting or the MiX Telematics special meeting. Because the Swap Ratio will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market prices of PowerFleet Shares or MiX Telematics Shares (or MiX ADSs), the market value of the PowerFleet Shares issued as the Scheme Consideration shares and MiX Telematics Shares (including those represented by MiX ADSs) exchanged in the transactions may be higher or lower than the values of such stock on earlier dates. The Scheme Consideration to be received by MiX Telematics Shareholders will be solely PowerFleet Shares, except that any entitlements to fractions of PowerFleet Shares that otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the Scheme will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares and a cash payment will be made for any fractional shares resulting from such rounding. Although the consideration to be received by MiX Telematics Shareholders is set, the market value of the Scheme Consideration to be received by MiX Telematics Shareholders that is comprised of PowerFleet Shares will fluctuate. On 9 October 2023, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the transactions, the market value of the Scheme Consideration was approximately $139.3 million based on the closing price of PowerFleet Shares on 9 October 2023. On the Last Practicable Date, the last practicable day before the date of this Prospectus the market value of the Scheme Consideration was approximately $245 million based on the closing price of PowerFleet Shares on 5 January 2024. As such, at the time of the MiX Telematics special meeting and the PowerFleet Special Meeting, MiX Telematics Shareholders and PowerFleet Shareholders will not know or be able to determine with certainty the value of the Scheme Consideration.

Changes in the market prices of PowerFleet Shares and MiX Telematics Shares (and MiX ADSs) may result from a variety of factors that are beyond the control of PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, including changes in their businesses, operations and prospects, regulatory considerations, governmental actions, and legal proceedings and developments. You are urged to obtain up-to-date prices for PowerFleet Shares and MiX Telematics Shares (and MiX ADSs).

59

The parties may not realise the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the transactions.

While PowerFleet and MiX Telematics will continue to operate independently until the completion of the transactions, the success of the transactions will depend, in part, on PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ ability to realise the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses. The parties’ ability to realise these anticipated benefits and cost savings is subject to certain risks, including, among others:

· the parties’ ability to successfully combine their respective businesses;

· the risk that the combined businesses will not perform as expected;

· the extent to which the parties will be able to realise the expected synergies, which include realising potential savings from re-assessing priority assets and aligning investments, eliminating duplication and redundancy, adopting an optimised operating model between both companies and leveraging scale, and creating value resulting from the combination of PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses;

· the possibility that the aggregate consideration being paid for MiX Telematics is greater than the value PowerFleet will derive from the transactions;

· the possibility that the combined company will not achieve the free cash flow that the parties have projected;

· the incurrence of additional indebtedness in connection with the transactions and the resulting limitations placed on the combined company’s operations;

· the assumption of known and unknown liabilities of MiX Telematics, including potential tax and employee-related liabilities; and

· the possibility of costly litigation challenging the transactions.

If PowerFleet and MiX Telematics are not able to successfully integrate their businesses within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated cost savings, synergies operational efficiencies and other benefits of the transactions may not be realised fully or may take longer to realise than expected, and the combined company may not perform as expected.

Integrating PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected.

PowerFleet and MiX Telematics have operated and, until completion of the transactions will continue to operate, independently, and there can be no assurances that their businesses can be integrated successfully. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of either company’s or both companies’ ongoing businesses or unexpected integration issues, such as higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. Specifically, issues that must be addressed in integrating the operations of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics in order to realise the anticipated benefits of the transactions so the combined business performs as expected include, among others:

· combining the companies’ separate operational, financial, reporting and corporate functions;

· integrating the companies’ technologies, products and services;

· identifying and eliminating redundant and underperforming operations and assets;

· harmonising the companies’ operating practices, employee development, compensation and benefit programs, internal controls and other policies, procedures and processes;

· addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies;

· maintaining employee morale and retaining key management and other employees;

· attracting and recruiting prospective employees;

· consolidating the companies’ corporate, administrative and information technology infrastructure;

· coordinating sales, distribution and marketing efforts;

· managing the movement of certain businesses and positions to different locations;

· maintaining existing agreements with customers and vendors and avoiding delays in entering into new agreements with prospective customers and vendors;

· coordinating geographically dispersed organisations; and

· effecting potential actions that may be required in connection with obtaining regulatory approvals.

In addition, at times, the attention of certain members of each company’s management and each company’s resources may be focused on completion of the transactions and the integration of the businesses of the two companies and diverted from day-to-day business operations, which may disrupt each company’s ongoing business and, consequently, the business of the combined company.

60

Failure to complete the transactions could negatively impact the stock price and the future business and financial results of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics.

The parties’ respective obligations to complete the transactions are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions set forth in the Implementation Agreement. There can be no assurance that the conditions to completion of the transactions will be satisfied or waived or that the transactions will be completed. If the transactions are not completed for any reason, the ongoing businesses of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics may be materially and adversely affected and, without realising any of the benefits of having completed the transactions, PowerFleet and MiX Telematics would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

· PowerFleet and MiX Telematics may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on trading prices of PowerFleet Shares and MiX Telematics Shares (and MiX ADSs) and from their respective customers, vendors, regulators and employees;

· each party may be required to pay the other party a termination fee under certain specified circumstances equal to the lesser of (x) $1,500,000 and (y) 1% of the value of the Scheme Consideration Shares based on the closing price of PowerFleet Shares on the business day immediately prior to such termination fee becoming due under certain specified circumstances;

· PowerFleet and MiX Telematics will be required to pay certain expenses incurred in connection with the transactions, whether or not the transactions are completed;

· the Implementation Agreement places certain restrictions on the operation of each of PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ respective businesses prior to the closing of the transactions, and such restrictions, the waiver of which is subject to the consent of the other parties, may prevent PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, from making certain acquisitions, taking certain other specified actions or otherwise pursuing business opportunities during the pendency of the transactions that PowerFleet or MiX Telematics would have made, taken or pursued if these restrictions were not in place; and

· matters relating to the transactions (including integration planning) will require substantial commitments of time and resources PowerFleet and MiX Telematics management and the expenditure of significant funds in the form of fees and expenses, which would otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to either PowerFleet or MiX Telematics as an independent company.

In addition, each of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the transactions or related to any proceeding to specifically enforce PowerFleet’s or MiX Telematics’ obligations under the Implementation Agreement.

If any of these risks materialise, they may materially and adversely affect PowerFleet’s or MiX Telematics’ business, financial condition, financial results and the price of PowerFleet Shares, MiX Telematics Shares and ADSs.

For a description of the circumstances under which a termination fee is payable, see the section titled “The Implementation Agreement—Termination Fees” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

PowerFleet and MiX Telematics will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the transactions are pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the transactions on employees, vendors and customers may have an adverse effect on PowerFleet or MiX Telematics and, consequently, on the combined company after the closing of the transactions. These uncertainties may impair PowerFleet’s or MiX Telematics’ ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause customers and others that deal with PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, to defer or decline entering into contracts with PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, or making other decisions concerning PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, or seek to change existing business relationships with PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable. In addition, if key employees depart because of uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the transactions, PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses could be harmed. Furthermore, the Implementation Agreement places certain restrictions on the operation of PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses prior to the closing of the transactions, which may delay or prevent PowerFleet and MiX Telematics from undertaking certain actions or business opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the transactions. See the section titled “The Implementation Agreement—Conduct of Business Prior to Scheme Implementation Date” in the Definitive Proxy Statement for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to PowerFleet and MiX Telematics.

Third parties may terminate or alter existing contracts or relationships with PowerFleet or MiX Telematics.

Each of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics has contracts with customers, vendors and other business partners which may require PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, to obtain consents from these other parties in connection with the transactions. If these consents cannot be obtained, the counterparties to these contracts and other third parties with which PowerFleet and/or MiX Telematics currently have relationships may have the ability to terminate, reduce the scope of or otherwise materially adversely alter their relationships with either party in anticipation of the transactions, or with PowerFleet following the transactions. The pursuit of such rights may result in PowerFleet or MiX Telematics suffering a loss of potential future revenue, incurring liabilities in connection with a breach of such agreements or losing rights that are material to its business. Any such disruptions could limit PowerFleet’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the transactions. The adverse effect of such disruptions could also be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the transactions or the termination of the transactions.

61

In order to complete the transactions, the parties must obtain certain governmental approvals, and if such approvals are not granted or are granted with conditions that become applicable to the parties, completion of the transactions may be jeopardised or prevented or the anticipated benefits of the transactions could be reduced.

Consummation of the transactions is conditional upon, among other things, the receipt of certain governmental approvals, including approvals required under South African law. Although the parties have agreed in the Implementation Agreement to use their reasonable best efforts to make certain governmental filings and obtain the required governmental approvals, there can be no assurance that the required approvals will be obtained and no assurance that the transactions will be completed.

In addition, the governmental authorities from which these approvals are required have broad discretion in administering the governing laws and regulations, and may take into account various facts and circumstances in their consideration of the transactions. These governmental authorities may initiate proceedings seeking to prevent, or otherwise seek to prevent, the transactions. As a condition to the approval of the transactions, these governmental authorities also may impose requirements, limitations or costs, require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company’s business after completion of the transactions. Conditions imposed by certain governmental authorities may be appealable; however, there can be no assurance that an appeal will be successful. Additionally, there is no certainty as to what conditions such governmental authorities may impose, the extent of such conditions or the impact of such conditions on the completion of the transactions. See the section titled “The Implementation Agreement—Conditions to the Scheme” in the Definitive Proxy Statement for a discussion of the conditions to the implementation of the Scheme and the section titled “Regulatory Approvals” in the Definitive Proxy Statement for a discussion of the regulatory approvals required in connection with the consummation of the transactions.

The transactions are subject to a number of closing conditions and, if these conditions are not satisfied, the Implementation Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the transactions may not be completed. In addition, the parties have the right to terminate the Implementation Agreement under other specified circumstances, in which case the transactions would not be completed.

The transactions are subject to a number of closing conditions and, if these conditions are not satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted by law), the transactions will not be completed. These conditions include, among others: (i) absence of certain legal impediments, (ii) effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the transactions, (iii) registration under the Companies Act, and approval by the JSE, of a prospectus to be issued in South Africa relating to the transactions, (iv) receipt of required regulatory approvals, including the issuance by the TRP of a compliance certificate in respect of the Scheme, approval of applicable competition authorities to implement the Scheme, approval of the JSE with respect to the Scheme and the delisting of MiX Telematics Shares from the JSE, and approval of the SARB as required under South African Exchange Control Regulations in respect of the Scheme, (v) receipt of approvals of applicable regulatory authorities for distribution of a Scheme circular to MiX Telematics’ shareholders, (vi) receipt by MiX Telematics of a final fair and reasonable opinion of an independent expert, as required by the Companies Act, (vii) receipt by MiX Telematics of the MiX specified shareholder approval, (viii) receipt by PowerFleet of the PowerFleet Specified Stockholder Approval, (ix) receipt of required JSE approvals for the PowerFleet secondary listing, (x) approval for listing on Nasdaq and the JSE of the Scheme Consideration shares, and (xi) closing of debt and/or equity financing in an amount sufficient to provide for the redemption in full in cash of all outstanding shares of the PowerFleet’s Series A preferred stock.

The conditions to the closing may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the transactions may not be completed. In addition, if the transactions are not completed by 31 March 2024 (as such date may be extended in accordance with the Implementation Agreement, any party may choose not to proceed with the transactions. Moreover, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Implementation Agreement at any time prior to the consummation of the transactions, before or after receipt of the PowerFleet Specified Stockholder Approval and MiX specified shareholder approval, subject to approval by the TRP, and each party may elect to terminate the Implementation Agreement in certain other circumstances, as described in the section titled “The Implementation Agreement—Termination” in the Definitive Proxy Statement. If the Implementation Agreement is terminated, PowerFleet and MiX Telematics may incur substantial fees and expenses in connection with termination of the Implementation Agreement, which may include payment of a termination fee, and neither of them will realise the anticipated benefits of the transactions. For a description of the circumstances under which a termination fee is payable, see the section titled “The Implementation Agreement—Termination Fees” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

62

PowerFleet or MiX Telematics may waive one or more of the closing conditions to the transactions without re-soliciting shareholder approval.

Each of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics has the right to waive certain of the closing conditions to the transactions. Any such waiver may not require re-solicitation of shareholders, in which case stockholders of PowerFleet and shareholders of MiX Telematics will not have the chance to change their votes as a result of any such waiver, and PowerFleet and MiX Telematics will have the ability to complete the transactions without seeking further shareholder approval. Any determination whether to waive any condition to the transactions, whether shareholder approval would be re-solicited as a result of any such waiver or whether this Prospectus would be amended as a result of any waiver will be made by PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, at the time of such waiver based on the facts and circumstances as they exist at that time, and any such waiver could have an adverse effect on PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable.

Both PowerFleet Shareholders and MiX Telematics Shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the transactions and will exercise less influence over management.

After the completion of the transactions, PowerFleet’s stockholders and MiX Telematics’ shareholders will own a smaller percentage of PowerFleet than they currently own of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics, respectively. Based on the estimated number of PowerFleet Shares and MiX Telematics Shares (including those represented by MiX ADSs) outstanding and the exchange ratio, it is expected that MiX Telematics Shareholders will own approximately 65.5%, and PowerFleet Shareholders will own approximately 34.5%, of the combined company immediately after consummation of the transactions on a fully diluted basis. Consequently, PowerFleet Shareholders, as a group, and MiX Telematics Shareholders and ADS Holders, as a group, will each have reduced ownership and voting power in the combined company compared to their current ownership and voting power in PowerFleet and MiX Telematics, respectively. In particular, PowerFleet Shareholders, as a group, will have less than a majority of the ownership and voting power of PowerFleet and, therefore, will be able to exercise less collective influence over the management and policies of PowerFleet than they currently exercise. While MiX Telematics Shareholders and ADS Holders will own a majority of PowerFleet Shares immediately after consummation of the transactions, their collective ownership percentage will likewise be reduced compared to their current level, as will be their ability to influence management and policies.

There can be no assurance that PowerFleet will be able to secure the financing necessary to fund the redemption of PowerFleet’s Series A preferred stock in full.

The closing of debt and/or equity financing in an amount sufficient to provide for the redemption in full in cash of all outstanding shares of the PowerFleet’s Series A Preferred Stock is a condition to closing of the transactions. PowerFleet currently intends to redeem all of its outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for cash as part of the transactions; however, there is no assurance that it will secure the financing necessary to do so. PowerFleet cannot assure stockholders that it will be able to obtain financing in connection with the contemplated redemption on commercially reasonable terms, in a timely manner, or at all, to fund the offer to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash.

In the event that PowerFleet is unable to secure financing on acceptable terms, the redemption of its Series A Preferred Stock may be delayed or not be completed and consummation of the transactions may be delayed or may not occur. If the Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemed in full in cash, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to consent to the consummation of the Transaction. If the Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemed in full in cash, then there is no assurance that such holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will issue such consent. See the section titled “Financing of the Transactions” in the Definitive Proxy Statement. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the PowerFleet Shares, including with respect to dividend rights and rights upon a liquidation. In the event any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemed for any reason and remain outstanding following completion of the Transaction, the PowerFleet Shares will continue to be subject to these preferential rights.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may not consent to the consummation of the Transaction if they are not redeemed in full in cash at the closing.

Under the PowerFleet charter, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to consent to the Transaction unless they are redeemed in full in cash. If PowerFleet is unable to raise the financing (as defined in “The Implementation Agreement— Financing”), even though the parties may elect to waive such condition to closing, the failure to obtain such financing would trigger the consent right of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. There is no assurance that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will grant their consent if they are not redeemed in full in cash.

63

The Implementation Agreement limits PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ ability to pursue alternatives to the transactions.

The Implementation Agreement contains provisions that make it more difficult for PowerFleet and MiX Telematics to enter into alternative transactions. The Implementation Agreement contains certain provisions that restrict PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ ability to solicit or facilitate proposals from third parties with respect to transactions involving the financing or sale of PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, or provide non-public information to, or otherwise participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties or take certain other actions that would reasonably be expected to lead to a third-party acquisition proposal. Further, there are only limited exceptions to PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ agreement that the PowerFleet Board will not change its recommendation in favor of approval of the issuance of the Scheme Consideration shares and the charter amendment, and the MiX independent board will not change its recommendation in favor of approval of the Scheme. However, at any time prior to the receipt of the PowerFleet stockholder approval or the MiX shareholder approval, as applicable, in response to an unsolicited superior proposal made by a third party, the PowerFleet Board or the MiX independent board may make an adverse recommendation change, and (in the case of MiX, subject to shareholder approval) terminate the Implementation Agreement to enter into an alternative acquisition agreement, if such board concludes in good faith, after consultation with its respective outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the PowerFleet Board, the MiX Telematics Board or the MiX independent board, as applicable, under the circumstances and under applicable law. See the section titled “The Implementation Agreement—No Solicitation” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

In addition, PowerFleet or MiX Telematics may be required to pay a termination fee equal to the lesser of (x) $1,500,000 and (y) 1% of the value of the Scheme Consideration shares based on the closing price of PowerFleet Shares on the business day immediately prior to such termination fee becoming due to the other party if the Scheme is not consummated under specified circumstances. See the section titled “The Implementation Agreement—Termination Fees” in the Definitive Proxy Statement, including as described above, for a description of the circumstances under which such a termination fee is payable. Upon receipt of the MiX specified shareholder approval, MiX Telematics’ right to terminate the Implementation Agreement in response to a superior proposal will cease. Upon receipt of the PowerFleet Specified Stockholder Approval, PowerFleet’s right to terminate the Implementation Agreement in response to a superior proposal will cease.

While PowerFleet and MiX Telematics believe these provisions are reasonable, customary and not preclusive of other offers, the provisions might discourage a third party that has an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of MiX Telematics or PowerFleet from considering or proposing such an acquisition, even if such party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per-share value than the currently proposed Scheme Consideration or if such party were prepared to enter into an agreement that may be more favorable to PowerFleet or MiX Telematics or their respective stockholders or shareholders, as applicable.

The financial analyses and forecasts considered by PowerFleet and MiX Telematics and their respective financial advisor or independent expert, as applicable, may not be realised, which may adversely affect the market price of PowerFleet Shares following the completion of the transactions.

In performing their financial analyses and rendering their opinions related to the transactions, PowerFleet’s financial advisor and MiX Telematics’ independent expert relied on, among other things, certain information, including financial forecasts and projections of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics provided by PowerFleet and MiX Telematics. See the section titled “Opinion of PowerFleet’s Financial Advisor” and “Opinion of MiX Telematics’ Independent Expert” in the Definitive Proxy Statement. These projections and forecasts were prepared by, or at the direction of, the management of PowerFleet or the management of MiX Telematics, as applicable. None of these projections or forecasts were prepared with a view towards public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC, GAAP or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts. These projections and forecasts are inherently based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, including due to the judgment of those preparing them. These projections and forecasts are also subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond the control of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics. There can be no assurance that PowerFleet’s or MiX Telematics’ financial condition or results of operations will be consistent with those set forth in such projections and forecasts, which could have an adverse impact on the market price of PowerFleet Shares or the financial position of PowerFleet following the transactions.

The financial forecasts and projections of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics included in the Definitive Proxy Statement have been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, the management of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics, as applicable, and have not been audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying forecasts and projections. Accordingly, no independent registered public accounting firm expresses an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability and assumes no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, such forecasts and projections. The audited financial statements of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics do not extend to the financial forecasts and projections and should not be read to do so. See “Overview of the Transactions—PowerFleet Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” and “Overview of the Transactions—MiX Telematics Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” beginning on pages 58 and 60, respectively, of the Definitive Proxy Statement.

The financial forecasts are based on various assumptions that may not be realised.

The unaudited prospective financial information set forth in the forecasts included under the sections “Overview of the Transactions—PowerFleet Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” and “Overview of the Transactions—MiX Telematics Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” in the Definitive Proxy Statement were prepared solely for internal use and are subjective in many respects. PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ prospective financial information were based solely upon assumptions of, and information available to, PowerFleet’s management and MiX Telematics’ management, as applicable, when prepared, and these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainties, many of which are beyond PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ control and may not be realised. Many factors mentioned in this Prospectus, including the risks outlined in this “Risk Factors” section and the events or circumstances described under “Forward-Looking Statements,” will be important in determining the combined company’s future results. As a result of these contingencies, actual future results may vary materially from PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ estimates. In view of these uncertainties, the inclusion of prospective financial information in this Prospectus is not and should not be viewed as a representation that the forecasted results will necessarily reflect actual future results.

The unaudited prospective financial information set forth in the forecasts included under the sections titled “Overview of the Transactions—PowerFleet Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” and “Overview of the Transactions—MiX Telematics Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” in the Definitive Proxy Statement was not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation or presentation of prospective financial information. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and neither PowerFleet nor MiX Telematics undertakes any obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update, correct or otherwise revise the unaudited prospective financial information herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date those prospective financial information were prepared or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying any such prospective financial information are no longer appropriate (even in the short term).

The unaudited prospective financial information of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics included in the Definitive Proxy Statement has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, the management of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics, as applicable and has not been audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying unaudited prospective financial information and, accordingly, no independent registered public accounting firm expresses an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability and assumes no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. The audited financial statements of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics do not extend to the unaudited prospective financial information and should not be read to do so. See the sections titled “Overview of the Transactions—PowerFleet Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” and “Overview of the Transactions—MiX Telematics Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

The unaudited pro forma financial information incorporated by reference in this Prospectus is preliminary and PowerFleet’s actual financial position or results of operations after the transactions may differ materially.

The unaudited pro forma financial information incorporated by reference in this Prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what PowerFleet’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the transactions been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited financial information reflects adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to allocate the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated acquisition-date fair values. The purchase price allocation reflected in this document is preliminary, and a final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of MiX Telematics that existed as of the date of the completion of the transactions. In addition, subsequent to the closing date, there may be further refinements of the purchase price allocation as additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma information incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. For more information, see the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

Executive officers and directors of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics may have interests in the transactions that are different from, or in addition to, the rights of their respective stockholders.

Executive officers of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics negotiated the terms of the Implementation Agreement and the PowerFleet Board and the MiX Telematics Independent Board each approved the Implementation Agreement and the transactions and recommend that you vote at each respective special meeting in favor of the proposals or resolutions, as applicable. These executive officers and directors may have interests in the transactions that are different from, or in addition to, yours. These interests include the continued employment of certain executive officers of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics, the continued service of certain directors of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics, and the indemnification of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics executive officers and directors by PowerFleet. With respect to PowerFleet directors and executive officers, these interests also include acceleration of vesting of unvested equity grants that are subject to time-based vesting conditions. With respect to certain PowerFleet executive officers, these interests also include transaction-related cash bonus payments upon closing of the transactions and severance payments upon qualifying terminations of employment. All MiX SARs, some of which are held by certain MiX Telematics executive officers, will be assumed by PowerFleet upon completion of the Transaction. MiX Telematics Directors will not be granted any special benefits in connection with the Transaction. Shareholders should be aware of these interests when they consider their board of directors’ recommendation that shareholders vote in favor of the transactions. For a description of the interests of PowerFleet executive officers and directors in the transactions, see the section titled “Interests of PowerFleet Directors and Executive Officers in the Transactions” in the Definitive Proxy Statement. For a description of the interests of MiX Telematics executive officers and directors in the transactions, see the section titled “Interests of MiX Telematics Directors and Executive Officers in the Transactions” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

65

The shares of PowerFleet to be received by MiX Telematics Shareholders as a result of the transactions will have rights that are different from the rights of MiX Telematics Shares.

Following completion of the transactions, MiX Telematics Shareholders will no longer be MiX Telematics Shareholders but will instead be PowerFleet Shareholders governed by Delaware law, the PowerFleet charter and PowerFleet bylaws. There will be important differences between your current rights as a MiX Telematics shareholder and your rights as a PowerFleet stockholder. See the section titled “Comparison of the Rights of Holders of MiX Telematics Shares and PowerFleet Shares” in the Definitive Proxy Statement for a description of the different rights of MiX Telematics Shares, on the one hand, and PowerFleet Shares, on the other hand.

PowerFleet, MiX Telematics and, subsequently, the combined company may have difficulty attracting, motivating and retaining executives and other key employees in light of the Transaction.

The combined company’s success after the transactions will depend in part on each of PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ ability to retain key executives and other employees. Uncertainty about the effect of the transactions on PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ employees may have an adverse effect on each company separately and consequently, the combined business. This uncertainty may impair PowerFleet’s and/or MiX Telematics’ ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. Employee retention may be particularly challenging during the pendency of the transactions, as PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles in the combined business.

Additionally, MiX Telematics’ officers and employees hold MiX Telematics Shares, and, if the transactions are completed, these officers and employees will be entitled to the Scheme Consideration in respect of such shares. All MiX SARs, some of which are held by certain MiX Telematics executive officers, will be assumed by PowerFleet upon completion of the Transaction. Because the vesting and exercise of such MiX SARs will no longer be subject to the continued employment of these officers and employees of MiX Telematics, it could make their retention more difficult. This may also be the case for PowerFleet officers and employees whose time-based equity grants are accelerated upon completion of the Transaction.

Furthermore, if any of PowerFleet’s or MiX Telematics’ key employees depart or are at risk of departing, including because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration, financial security or a desire not to become employees of the combined business, PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, may have to incur significant costs in retaining such individuals or in identifying, hiring and retaining replacements for departing employees and may lose significant expertise and talent, and the combined company’s ability to realise the anticipated benefits of the transactions may be materially and adversely affected. No assurance can be given that the combined company will be able to attract or retain key employees to the same extent that PowerFleet or MiX Telematics has been able to attract or retain employees in the past.

As a result of the transactions, the ability to use PowerFleet’s net operating loss carryovers may be significantly limited, which may result in PowerFleet being subject to higher effective tax rates.

PowerFleet experienced a prior ownership change in 2019 that resulted in an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code in respect of loss carryovers at that time. In addition, it is expected that, as a result of the transactions, PowerFleet will undergo another ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. As a result, the ability to use PowerFleet’s net operating loss carryovers incurred prior to the ownership change against income arising after the ownership change may be significantly limited under Section 382 of the Code and under similar provisions of state and local law. Accordingly, PowerFleet may have to report higher taxable income and may be subject to higher effective tax rates than it otherwise would have in the absence of this limitation. In addition, as a result of this limitation, some of PowerFleet’s net operating losses may actually expire unused.

If the Scheme does not qualify as a “reorganisation” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, MiX Telematics Shareholders may be required to pay substantial taxes.

The Scheme is intended to qualify as a “reorganisation” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and PowerFleet and MiX Telematics intend to report the Scheme consistent with such qualification. It is a condition to MiX Telematics obligation to closing of the transactions that it receives an opinion of counsel to the effect that the scheme should qualify as a “reorganisation” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The opinion will be based on representations from each of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics and on customary factual assumptions, as well as certain covenants and undertakings by PowerFleet and MiX Telematics. If any of such representations, assumptions, covenants or undertakings is or becomes incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate or is violated, the validity of the opinion described above may be affected and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Scheme could differ materially from those described herein. An opinion of counsel represents such counsel’s best legal judgment but is not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or any court, so there can be no certainty that the IRS will not challenge the conclusion reflected in the opinion or that a court will not sustain such a challenge. Neither PowerFleet nor MiX Telematics intends to obtain a ruling from the IRS with respect to the tax consequences of the Scheme as a “reorganisation” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If the IRS or a court determines that the Scheme is not treated as a “reorganisation” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder generally would recognise taxable gain or loss upon the exchange of MiX Telematics Shares (or those represented by MiX ADSs) for PowerFleet Shares pursuant to the Scheme. See the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Scheme” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

66

Even if the Scheme qualifies as a reorganisation under Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder may still recognise gain as a result of the Scheme if MiX Telematics is or was classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held MiX Telematics Shares.

Even if the Scheme qualifies as a “reorganisation” under Section 368(a) of the Code, if MiX Telematics was a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder owned (or is deemed to own) MiX Telematics Shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including recognition of gain, could apply to such U.S. holder as a result of the Scheme. MiX Telematics has advised PowerFleet that MiX Telematics believes it was never a PFIC at any time and that, based on the current and anticipated composition of its and its subsidiaries’ income, assets and operations, MiX Telematics does not expect to be a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2023. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Scheme— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” beginning on page 86 of this the Definitive Proxy Statement. U.S. holders of MiX Telematics Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible classification of MiX Telematics as a PFIC and the resulting U.S. federal income tax considerations.

Following the Scheme, non-U.S. holders of PowerFleet Shares may be subject to U.S. federal withholding and income tax.

Distributions to non-U.S. holders with respect to PowerFleet Shares will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) to the extent such distributions are dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Scheme—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of the Ownership and Disposition of PowerFleet Shares” beginning on page 87 of the Definitive Proxy Statement for more information. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors as to the particular consequences that may apply to such non-U.S. holders.

PowerFleet and MiX Telematics will incur significant transaction and Scheme-related transition costs in connection with the transactions.

PowerFleet and MiX Telematics expect that they will incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the transactions and integrating the operations of the two companies post-closing. PowerFleet and/or MiX Telematics may incur additional costs to retain key employees. PowerFleet and/or MiX Telematics will also incur significant fees and expenses relating to financing arrangements and legal services (including any costs that would be incurred in defending against any potential class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits in connection with the transactions if any such proceedings are brought), accounting and other fees and costs, associated with consummating the transactions. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the transactions are completed. In addition, MiX Telematics or PowerFleet may be required to pay a termination fee equal to the lesser of (x) $1,500,000 and (y) 1% of the value of the Scheme Consideration shares based on the closing price of PowerFleet Shares on the business day immediately prior to such termination fee becoming due to the other party if the Implementation Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances described in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Though PowerFleet and MiX Telematics continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the transactions and the integration of the businesses of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics.

While the PowerFleet Shares is expected to be listed on the JSE, there is no guarantee as to how long such listing will be maintained.

Certain holders of MiX Telematics Shares are residents of the Republic of South Africa and are unable to hold PowerFleet Shares, which they stand to receive as consideration upon consummation of the transactions, if the PowerFleet Shares will not be listed on the JSE. While PowerFleet expects to list the PowerFleet Shares on the JSE by way of a secondary inward listing, there can be no assurance that such listing will be approved by the JSE. Additionally, the continued listing of PowerFleet Shares on the JSE is subject to various factors, such as compliance with the continued listing standards of the JSE. In the event that PowerFleet fails to meet the continued listing standards of the JSE, the PowerFleet Shares may be delisted from the JSE, which could adversely affect liquidity and market price of PowerFleet Shares or the ability of South African residents to continue to hold this stock.

67

The opinions of PowerFleet’s financial advisor and MiX Telematics’ independent expert will not be updated to reflect changes in circumstances between the signing of the Implementation Agreement in October 2023 and the completion of the transactions, with respect to the opinion of PowerFleet’s financial advisor, and the issuance of the Scheme Circular and the completion of the Transaction, with respect to the opinion of MiX Telematics’ independent expert.

Neither PowerFleet nor MiX Telematics has obtained an updated opinion from its financial advisor or independent expert, as applicable, as of the date of this Prospectus MiX Telematics’ independent expert will update its opinion as of the date the Scheme Circular is issued; however, PowerFleet does not anticipate asking its financial advisor or independent expert, as applicable, to update its opinion. Changes in the operations and prospects of PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of PowerFleet or MiX Telematics, and on which PowerFleet’s financial advisors’ opinion and MiX Telematics’ independent expert’s opinion were based in part, may significantly alter the prices of PowerFleet Shares or MiX Telematics Shares (or MiX ADSs) by the closing date. The opinions do not speak as of the time the transactions will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinions. Because PowerFleet’s financial advisor and MiX Telematics’ independent expert will not be updating their opinions, as of the closing date of the Transaction, the opinions will not address the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Scheme Consideration to be received by holders of MiX Telematics Shares (and ADS Holders) at the closing date. The PowerFleet Board’s recommendation that PowerFleet Shareholders vote “FOR” each of the PowerFleet proposals included in the Definitive Proxy Statement and the MiX Telematics independent board’s recommendation that MiX shareholders vote “FOR” each of the MiX resolutions included in the Scheme Circular, however, are made as of the date of this Prospectus. For a description of the opinions that PowerFleet received from its financial advisor and MiX Telematics received from its independent expert, see the section titled “Opinion of PowerFleet’s Financial Advisor” and “Opinion of MiX Telematics’ Independent Expert” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

PowerFleet and MiX Telematics may be the target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the transactions from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into business combination agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on PowerFleet’s or MiX Telematics’ liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the transactions, then that injunction may delay or prevent the transactions from being completed, which may adversely affect PowerFleet’s or MiX Telematics’ or, if the transactions are completed but delayed, the combined company’s business, financial position and results of operations. As at the Last Practicable Date, no such lawsuits have been filed in connection with the transactions and we cannot predict whether any will be filed.

Risks Relating to the Combined Company after Completion of the Transactions

In connection with the transactions, the combined company may incur significant indebtedness to finance the redemption of PowerFleet’s Series A preferred stock in full in cash.

The closing of debt and/or equity financing in an amount sufficient to provide for the redemption in full of all outstanding shares of the PowerFleet’s Series A preferred stock is a condition to closing of the transactions. If such financing involves debt, such indebtedness will have the effect, among other things, of reducing the combined company’s flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions, will increase the combined company’s borrowing costs and, to the extent that such indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates, may increase the combined company’s vulnerability to fluctuations in market interest rates. The increased levels of indebtedness could also reduce funds available to fund efforts to combine PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses and realise expected benefits of the transactions and/or engage in investments in product development, capital expenditures and other activities and may create competitive disadvantages for the combined company relative to other companies with lower debt levels. The combined company may be required to raise additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes. The combined company’s ability to arrange additional financing will depend on, among other factors, its financial position and performance, as well as prevailing market conditions and other factors beyond its control. PowerFleet and MiX Telematics cannot assure you that they will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to them or at all. See the section titled “Financing Relating to the Transactions” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

The combined company will be subject to the risks that each of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics faces.

Following completion of the transactions, the combined company will be subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including the risks faced by each of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics, which are described in the documents that each company has filed with the SEC, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2022 of PowerFleet filed with the SEC on 31 March 2023, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on 1 May 2023, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2023 of MiX Telematics on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on 22 June 2023, each as updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into the Definitive Proxy Statement. If any such risks actually occur, the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the combined company could be materially adversely affected. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information” in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

68

The market price for PowerFleet Shares may be affected by factors different from those affecting the market price for MiX Telematics Shares (or MiX ADSs).

Upon completion of the transactions, holders of MiX Telematics Shares (and ADS Holders) will become holders of PowerFleet Shares. PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ respective business differ, and accordingly the results of operations of the combined company will be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the results of operations of each of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics. For a discussion of the businesses of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics and of certain factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the documents incorporated by reference into the Definitive Proxy Statement, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2022 of PowerFleet filed with the SEC on 31 March 2023, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on 1 May 2023, and the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2023 of MiX Telematics on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on 22 June 2023 and referred to in the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information” in the Definitive Proxy Statement, as updated by Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of PowerFleet and MiX Telematics and future filings after the date of this Prospectus filed with the SEC by PowerFleet and MiX Telematics.

The market price for PowerFleet Shares may decline as a result of the transactions, including as a result of some PowerFleet Shareholders adjusting their portfolios.

The market value of PowerFleet Shares at the time of consummation of the transactions may vary significantly from the prices of the PowerFleet Shares and MiX Telematics Shares on the date the Implementation Agreement was executed, the date of this Prospectus and the dates of the PowerFleet Special Meeting and the MiX Telematics special meeting. Following consummation of the transactions, the market price of PowerFleet Shares may decline if, among other things, the operational cost savings estimates in connection with the integration of PowerFleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses are not realised, or if the costs related to the transactions are greater than expected, or if the financing related to the transactions is on unfavorable terms. The market price also may decline if PowerFleet does not achieve the perceived benefits of the transactions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or if the effect of the transactions on PowerFleet’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

In addition, sales of PowerFleet Shares by PowerFleet’s stockholders after the completion of the transactions may cause the market price of PowerFleet Shares to decrease. Based on the number of shares of PowerFleet Shares and MiX Telematics Shares (including those represented by ADSs) outstanding as of the Last Practicable Date, approximately 107,923,479 PowerFleet Shares are expected to be issued and outstanding immediately after the closing of the Transaction (including 1,496,247 shares of PowerFleet Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock option and restricted stock awards of PowerFleet that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions). Many MiX Telematics Shareholders may decide not to hold PowerFleet Shares that they receive in the transactions. Other PowerFleet Shareholders following consummation of the transactions, such as funds with limitations on their permitted holdings of stock in individual issuers, may be required to sell PowerFleet Shares that they receive in the transactions. Such sales of PowerFleet Shares could have the effect of depressing the market price for PowerFleet Shares and may take place promptly following the transactions.

Any of these events may make it more difficult for PowerFleet to sell equity or equity-related securities, dilute your ownership interest in PowerFleet and have an adverse impact on the price of PowerFleet Shares.

The transactions may not be accretive, and may be dilutive, to the combined company’s earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of PowerFleet Shares.

PowerFleet and MiX Telematics currently believe the transactions will result in a number of benefits, including cost savings, operating efficiencies, and stronger demand for their respective products and services, and that the transactions will be accretive to PowerFleet’s earnings. This belief is based, in part, on preliminary current estimates that may materially change. In addition, future events and conditions, including adverse changes in market conditions, additional transaction and integration-related costs and other factors such as the failure to realise some or all of the anticipated benefits of the transactions, could decrease or delay the accretion that is currently anticipated or could result in dilution. Any dilution of, or decrease in or delay of any accretion to, the combined company’s earnings per share could cause the price of PowerFleet Shares to decline or grow at a reduced rate.

Risks relating to MergeCo

If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological change, we may be unable to meet the needs of our customers, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and reduce our ability to grow our market share.

Navigating our industry’s rapid technological changes is imperative for maintaining competitiveness and ensuring market acceptance of our products. The landscape is marked by constant innovation and evolving standards, spanning industries such as mobile asset management, automotive, mobile handset, GPS navigation, information technology, telecommunications, and enterprise software. Failure to adapt to these changes may hinder our competitiveness, potentially resulting in decreased market acceptance.

69

We actively engage in research and development to address technological shifts and enhance our products. However, the intricacies and uncertainties of our industry often lead to project delays, lower initial production volumes, and higher production costs, impacting market opportunities. The success of new products hinges on their alignment with evolving customer needs and preferences, and any failure in development, marketing, and release may adversely affect revenues and market share. Resource expenditure in unsuccessful research and development efforts further compounds these challenges.

Moreover, the broader technological landscape introduces integration and competition challenges. For instance, advancements in in-vehicle technology by truck and automobile manufacturers may standardise GPS-based tracking solutions, introducing new sources of competition. Additionally, the development of competing products, systems, or technologies may render our offerings less competitive, requiring timely enhancements to our technology.

The complexity and costliness of developing new and improved products, coupled with inherent risks such as market acceptance and regulatory changes, pose ongoing challenges. Inability to successfully introduce products accepted by the market could materially impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Competitors’ new products or enhancements may also influence customer purchasing decisions, affecting our market share. Adaptability to technological change is not only crucial for competitiveness but also integral to sustaining market acceptance and financial stability.

We may be subject to breaches of our information technology systems, which could damage our reputation, vendor, and customer relationships, and our customers’ access to our services.

Our business faces the constant threat of information technology system breaches, posing risks to our reputation, vendor and customer relationships, and customers’ access to our services. The necessity of using and storing sensitive data, including intellectual property and proprietary information, in our secure data centres and networks adds complexity to our operations. Despite implementing security measures such as user names, passwords, encryption, and authentication technologies, our systems remain vulnerable to attacks, including unauthorised access, security breaches, and other disruptions.

A cybersecurity breach could have far-reaching consequences, compromising information on our networks, resulting in significant data losses or theft of intellectual property. Beyond potential reputational damage, the breach may lead to remediation costs, internal operational disruptions, increased cybersecurity protection expenses, lost revenues, and litigation, collectively having a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Moreover, our electronic transactions, data, and asset tracking sensors are susceptible to security or privacy breaches, exposing us to additional liability and the potential loss of customers. Inability to protect the security of our networks, data processing systems, and software products could negatively impact our reputation and profitability. Our systems and operations are at risk from various events, including human error, cybersecurity breaches, viruses, ransomware, malware, and intentional acts of vandalism. Despite employing third-party encryption and authentication technology providers, evolving cybersecurity threats and technological developments may compromise the technology we use to protect sensitive transaction data.

In the event of a compromise or breach, misappropriation of proprietary information, interruptions in operations, and adverse impacts on our reputation or our customers’ reputation may occur. Detection and prevention of unauthorised access to confidential information, including bank account numbers and asset tracking data, are critical to our business, and any failure in this regard could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. While we maintain cyber liability insurance, its coverage may not be sufficient to address the legal, reputational, and financial losses that could result from system interruptions or breaches. The overall implications underscore the imperative of robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our business and maintain the trust of our stakeholders.

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive, and competitive pressures from existing and new companies could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, our business faces substantial pressures from existing and new companies, and this competition could significantly impact our financial condition and results of operations. The competitive landscape is influenced by various factors, including advances in technology, new product introductions, evolving industry standards, product improvements, changing customer needs, intellectual property innovation, marketing capabilities, and the ability to attract and retain skilled professionals. Moreover, competition extends to factors such as the ability of customers to invest in information technology and price competitiveness.

The products we and our competitors offer are becoming increasingly complex, potentially leading to competition with established computer, network and communications industry participants that possess greater financial, technical, marketing, and manufacturing resources. While we strive to differentiate our solutions through innovation, communication modes, patented battery management technology, sensor options, and installation configurations, failure to keep pace with technological advances or compete successfully against rivals may adversely affect our competitive position, revenues, and growth prospects.

In the fragmented and competitive market we participate in, characterised by relatively low entry barriers, increased competition could result in reduced operating margins, elevated sales and marketing expenses, and a loss of market share. Competition within our market is multifaceted, involving considerations such as functionality, reliability, total cost of ownership, application functionality for fleet deployments, product performance, new technology adoption (including AI), interoperability, brand reputation, customer service, distribution channels, regional expertise, size of customer base, return on investment, ease of deployment, and financial resources.

Moreover, competition is expected to intensify with the introduction of new technologies and the entry of companies from outside the telematics industry, including enterprise software vendors. The safety and security solutions market, where we actively compete, emphasises technological innovation, value-added services, brand recognition, successful recoveries of mobile assets, and the quality and pricing of products and services. The vehicle and mobile asset tracking and recovery solutions market, in particular, is highly competitive, with various products and services available, including GPS-based products installed by vehicle manufacturers.

In this competitive environment, the potential loss of market share, increased expenses, and challenges in maintaining operating margins underscore the need for our continued focus on innovation, differentiation, and adaptability to emerging technologies.

We are an international company and may be susceptible to a number of political, economic and geographic risks that could harm our business.

As a global company dependant on international sales to customers outside the U.S, we face an array of political, economic, and geographic risks that could significantly impact our business. Our international sales constitute a substantial portion of our products and services revenue, making us susceptible to various events such as geopolitical conflicts, economic downturns, and global supply chain disruptions, as exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The occurrence of any of these events could result in a substantial decline in revenue.

Compliance with complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations adds to the challenges of our international operations, encompassing internal control rules, data privacy requirements, anti-corruption laws like the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and anti-competition regulations. Violations of these laws and regulations could lead to fines, penalties, criminal sanctions, and prohibitions on conducting business in certain countries, potentially impacting our brand, international expansion efforts, employee retention, and overall business and operating results. Despite plans to implement compliance policies, there’s no guarantee that employees, contractors, or agents won’t violate these policies.

Operating internationally introduces various risks and challenges, including unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, currency exchange rate fluctuations, tariffs, and barriers, as well as managing operations across different countries with diverse laws and regulations. The complexity extends to tax considerations in multiple jurisdictions, ethical challenges in certain developing countries, and the broader impact of economic and geopolitical conditions, including war, terrorism, kidnapping, and high crime rates. Natural disasters or pandemics further compound these risks. Availability of U.S. dollars, especially in resource-export-dependent economies, and changes in export regulations also contribute to the complexity and uncertainty.

Expanding into new international territories involves substantial risks, including lack of familiarity with local markets, competition with established local competitors, legal and regulatory compliance challenges, currency exchange rate fluctuations, and potential adverse tax consequences. The complexities extend to finding and maintaining local dealers and distributors, monitoring and complying with legal and regulatory requirements, and navigating political, social, and economic instability in various regions. Intellectual property protection, exposure to claims of infringement, and compliance with anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and export control laws further contribute to the challenges.

Operating in international markets demands significant management attention and financial resources. The investment required to establish operations and manage growth in additional territories may not necessarily yield desired levels of revenue or profitability. These combined risks underscore the importance of strategic planning, compliance measures, and ongoing diligence in our international operations.

Conditions and changes in the global economic environment may adversely affect our business and financial results.

Our business and financial results are vulnerable to conditions and changes in the global economic environment. Ongoing challenges such as stock market volatility, credit market tightening, inflation concerns, adverse business conditions, and liquidity issues, compounded by recent bank failures, contribute to the potential adverse impact on our customers. These economic uncertainties may lead to delayed decision-making, reduced spending, and jeopardised or delayed payment obligations by our customers, any of which could negatively affect our business and results of operations.

The global economic landscape, influenced by events like the continued global supply chain disruptions, inflation, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and recent bank failures, introduces volatility to our stock price. Economic downturns could result in reduced demand for wireless technology solutions, maintenance, support, and consulting services we provide. The extent of this impact on the wireless solutions industry and demand for our products and services remains uncertain. Our growth is contingent on the demand for our offerings, and a prolonged economic weakness may prompt delays or cancellations of wireless solutions projects, reductions in overall budgets, or cancellations of orders for our services. These factors may lead to longer sales cycles, delayed purchase decisions, payment and collection issues, and potential price pressures, affecting our revenues and operating margins. If customers cancel or delay their wireless solutions initiatives, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

More recently, the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and their placement into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) created bank-specific and broader financial institution liquidity risk and concerns. Although the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC jointly released a statement that depositors at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank would have access to their funds, even those in excess of the standard FDIC insurance limits, future adverse developments with respect to specific financial institutions or the broader financial services industry may lead to market-wide liquidity shortages.

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available for our operations or delay our ability to access such funds. Any such failure may increase the possibility of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, or illiquidity at clearing, cash management and/or custodial financial institutions. In the event we have a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, we may experience delays or other issues in meeting our financial obligations. If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We may become involved in litigation and administrative proceedings particularly intellectual property disputes that could subject us to significant liability, divert the time and attention of our management and prevent us from selling our products, any of which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We face potential risks related to intellectual property disputes and legal proceedings that could have significant implications for our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The possibility of becoming involved in an intellectual property dispute poses a substantial threat, potentially subjecting us to significant liability and diverting the time and attention of our management. This scenario could impede our ability to sell products, thus materially and adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations. Given the prevalence of patent and intellectual property litigation globally, we may find ourselves in a position where litigation becomes necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or defend against alleged infringement. Regardless of the litigation’s outcome, it could result in substantial costs, management distraction, and hindered product sales.

In the event of an adverse judgment in a patent infringement claim, we might be compelled to pay substantial damages, halt the sale or use of certain products, or seek a license from the intellectual property holder, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. This failure to obtain necessary licenses or rights could prevent the sale, manufacture, or distribution of our products, further adversely impacting our financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, our business exposes us to various litigation and administrative proceedings related to labour, regulatory compliance, tax matters, governmental investigations, tort claims, contractual disputes, and potential criminal prosecution. The outcome of these proceedings can significantly affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. While we may vigorously contest these matters and explore insurance claims when appropriate, the inherently unpredictable and costly nature of litigation makes it challenging to accurately estimate potential outcomes. Establishing provisions in accordance with GAAP requirements may not align precisely with the amounts ultimately paid due to uncertainties in the estimation process.

Litigation and administrative proceedings demand substantial management time and attention, regardless of the outcome, and can be expensive. Interim developments and announcements during these processes may influence the perception of securities analysts and investors, potentially leading to declines in the trading price of PowerFleet Shares if viewed negatively. Navigating these legal challenges requires ongoing vigilance, strategic planning, and prudent resource allocation to mitigate potential adverse effects on our overall business and financial standing.

Our manufacturers rely on a limited number of suppliers for several significant components and raw materials used in our products. If we or our manufacturers are unable to obtain these components or raw materials on a timely basis, we will be unable to meet our customers’ orders, which could reduce our revenues, subject us to claims for damages and adversely affect our relationships with our customers.

Our business is heavily dependent on a limited number of suppliers for crucial components and raw materials essential for manufacturing our products. This reliance exposes us to various risks, including potential unavailability of materials, interruptions in deliveries, and fluctuations in quality and pricing. The absence of long-term or exclusive commitments with our suppliers, coupled with the possibility of exclusive arrangements with competitors or disruptions in supply, poses significant challenges.

We understand that our manufacturers rely on specific suppliers for key components and raw materials used in our products. While alternative suppliers may exist, identifying them is challenging, and the time-consuming process may lead to manufacturing delays. If we or our manufacturers fail to secure an ample supply from existing or alternative sources, it could impact our ability to meet customer orders, potentially reducing revenues, prompting claims for damages, and adversely affecting customer relationships.

72

While we have navigated these challenges so far, an interruption in hardware supply could materially and adversely impact our production capacity, hindering our ability to fulfil sales orders and impacting new business growth. Although such interruptions may not significantly affect subscription revenue, they could directly impact hardware sales and the acquisition of new subscribers, thus influencing our overall business operations, results, and financial condition. Continuous monitoring and strategic planning remain essential to address these supply chain risks and ensure the resilience of our business operations.

Changes in practices of insurance companies in the markets in which we provide and sell our services and products could adversely affect our revenues and growth potential.

Our business faces dual dependencies, both on the supply chain for manufacturing components and raw materials and on the practices of insurance companies in the markets where we offer our services. The reliance on a limited number of suppliers for crucial components poses risks, such as potential manufacturing delays and interruptions, which may hinder our ability to fulfil customer orders, resulting in reduced revenues and potential claims for damages. Additionally, changes in market conditions or policies of insurance companies in our primary markets, such as Israel and South Africa, play a pivotal role in supporting demand for our stolen vehicle retrieval (“SVR”) services and products.

In Israel, where PowerFleet’s main SVR market is located, insurance companies mandate or incentivise the use of SVR services and products for specific vehicles, influencing our revenue stream. Similarly, in South Africa, the largest market for MiX Telematics products and services, insurance companies either mandate the installation of tracking devices or provide premium discounts to promote the adoption of vehicle tracking and mobile asset recovery solutions like those provided by MiX Telematics.

Any alterations in the policies or practices of these insurance companies, whether due to regulatory changes or market dynamics, could lead to a decline in revenues from SVR services and products. This, in turn, would adversely affect our overall revenues and growth potential. The intertwined nature of these dependencies emphasises the need for continuous monitoring, strategic planning, and adaptation to address potential challenges in both the supply chain and market dynamics, safeguarding the resilience and success of our business operations.

Because our products are complex, they may have undetected errors or failures when they are introduced, which could seriously harm our business and reputation, and our product liability insurance may not adequately protect us.

The complexity of our technical products introduces the risk of undetected errors or failures upon introduction, which could significantly impact our business. Despite rigorous efforts to identify and eliminate flaws, the potential for errors remains, even after commercial shipments commence. Given that our products are utilised in business-critical applications, any failure to perform as intended may lead to product liability claims. Although we maintain insurance, there is uncertainty regarding the adequacy of coverage for potential liabilities arising from harm caused by our products.

We allocate reserves at the time of shipment, but these may not be sufficient to cover actual repair costs, exposing us to financial implications. Product liability claims, even if unsuccessful, can result in costly litigation, diverting management resources and damaging our reputation. The availability of adequate product liability insurance in the future is uncertain, and if our insurance proves insufficient to cover claims, it could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The potential damage to our reputation and customer relationships from such claims underscores the importance of continuous risk assessment and management in our business operations. Additionally, our products may malfunction, potentially causing damage to customers’ property, and in the event of systematic failures, we face the risk of substantial reputation damage and economic loss, which may not be fully mitigated by insurance coverage.

A decline in sales of consumer or commercial vehicles in the markets in which we operate could result in reduced demand for our products and services.

The success of our business is closely tied to the sales of consumer and commercial vehicles in the markets we operate. Given that our products are primarily installed around the time of a vehicle’s initial sale, a decrease in new vehicle sales poses a direct risk to the demand for our services and products. Various factors, such as adverse changes in the economic environment, reduced customer discretionary spending, inflation, increased vehicle tariffs, taxes, gas prices, difficulties in obtaining credit, or global economic challenges, including public health crises, could contribute to a decline in new vehicle sales, directly affecting the demand for our solutions and thereby influencing our overall business performance, financial condition, and results of operations. Continuous monitoring of market dynamics and proactive strategies are essential to navigate potential challenges in our addressable market for solutions.

Our growth strategy involves increasing sales by expanding our market penetration and entering new markets with high demand potential. The success of this strategy hinges on multiple factors, including competition, customer experience, relationships with distributors, and global economic conditions. Challenges include the integration of factory-fitted substitute products by certain manufacturers, potentially limiting our ability to market our solutions to new customers before the initial vehicle sale and affecting our revenue growth.

73

A reduction in vehicle theft rates may adversely impact demand for our SVR services and products.

The demand for our SVR services and products, as well as certain other solutions, is closely tied to prevailing or expected vehicle theft rates. If vehicle theft rates decrease due to factors like enhanced security systems, improved law enforcement measures, or better economic and political conditions, it may adversely affect the demand for our offerings. This influence is particularly notable in markets with historically high theft rates.

Whether an actual or perceived reduction in vehicle theft and crime rates occurs, it has the potential to impact our business by leading to a decline in demand for our SVR services and certain solutions. Customers, including insurance companies, may alter their perceptions and needs based on changing crime rates. This shift in demand could result in a loss of customers and impede overall growth. Consequently, ongoing monitoring of market dynamics and adaptation of our strategies are essential to navigate potential challenges arising from changes in vehicle theft rates and customer perceptions.

We rely significantly on channel partners, network of dealers and distributors to sell our products, and disruptions to, or our failure to develop and manage our channel partners would harm our business.

Our business heavily relies on channel partners and a network of dealers and distributors for the sale of our products. The success of our distribution strategy is contingent on recruiting, retaining, and effectively managing qualified partners, as well as providing comprehensive training in our technology and product offerings. This requires significant time and resources, and to enhance our distribution channel, we must continually scale and improve supporting processes and procedures, necessitating investments in systems and training.

However, challenges arise as the complexity of these processes and procedures may increase with organisational growth. The absence of minimum purchase commitments from channel partners, coupled with the lack of exclusivity in their contracts, exposes us to the risk of competitors offering incentives to sway partner preferences or reduce sales of our products. Channel partners might choose not to offer our products exclusively or at all, especially if they have a history of selling our competitors’ products.

Similarly, our reliance on dealers and distributors, who contribute significantly to our total sales, exposes us to potential adverse changes in relationships. The terms of our agreements with dealers do not typically include minimum purchase obligations and are primarily non-exclusive. Dealers may also have relationships with our competitors, over which we have limited control. If relationships with key dealers or distributors deteriorate, or if a significant dealer or distributor chooses not to do business with us, our sales could decline materially, adversely affecting our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Continuous efforts to strengthen and maintain successful relationships with these partners are essential to mitigate these risks.

If we lose our key personnel, or are unable to recruit additional personnel, our ability to manage our business could be materially and adversely affected.

The continuity and success of our business are closely tied to the presence and performance of key personnel, particularly our executive officers. PowerFleet currently does not have employment agreements with any of its executive officers and our dependence on their sustained employment exposes us to potential disruptions. Given the scarcity of skilled professionals in the technology industry, especially those with extensive telematics knowledge, recruiting and retaining highly qualified employees poses a significant challenge. Failure to attract, train, and retain personnel, coupled with the inability to motivate and focus our existing team, could materially and adversely impact our ability to execute our growth plan, affecting our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Continuous efforts to attract and retain qualified personnel remain critical to mitigating these risks and ensuring the effective execution of our business strategies.

The potential loss of key personnel, including members of our leadership team and specialists crucial to our international operations, could significantly disrupt our operations. Specifically, the absence of staff focused on customer retention in international regions, such as customer success, project management, technical product support, and field services, may hinder our ability to deliver to existing customers and attract new business.

Our operations in emerging markets subject us to greater risks than those we would face if we only operated in more developed markets, which could increase our operating costs and inhibit our growth plan.

Emerging markets, including Africa, Eastern Europe, Mexico, the Middle East, Asia and South America, are subject to greater risks than more developed markets. The Middle East region is experiencing ongoing instability, which has affected and may continue to affect our growth in the region. The Brazilian market continues to experience political and economic issues such as high unemployment rates, high inflation rates and corruption allegations, which affect our growth in the region and our ability to introduce new services to the region. South Africa is experiencing political and economic issues, as well as high unemployment rates and scheduled power outages “loadshedding”, which could affect our ability to maintain our existing customer base as well as our ability to grow our existing customer base. The political, economic and market conditions in many emerging markets present risks that could make it more difficult to operate our business successfully.

74

These risks include:

· political and economic instability, including higher rates of inflation and currency fluctuations;

· higher levels of corruption, including bribery of public officials;

· loss due to civil strife, acts of war or terrorism, guerrilla activities and insurrection;

· a lack of well-developed legal systems which could make it difficult for us to enforce our intellectual property and contractual rights;

· logistical and communications challenges;

· potential adverse changes in laws and regulatory practices, including import and export license requirements and restrictions, tariffs, legal structures and tax laws;

· difficulties in staffing and managing operations and ensuring the safety of our employees;

· restrictions on the right to convert or repatriate currency or export assets;

· greater risk of uncollectible accounts and longer collection cycles; and

· introduction or changes to indigenization and empowerment programs.

As long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding and represent fifteen percent (15.0%) or more (provided, that, if a Mandatory Redemption Notice has been given, and any shares of Series A Preferred Stock thereafter remain outstanding, or on and after a Redemption Failure, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock which have been redeemed shall for purposes of determining whether the conditions for the entitlement to elect one or more Series A Directors set forth in this Section A.4.d are met, be deemed outstanding), on an as-converted basis, of the voting power of the Corporation’s Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis), irrespective of whether or not a notice has been given to the Corporation under Section A.4.a, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors of the Corporation (the “Series A Directors”) who will serve on the Board and who will be entitled to serve on each committee and subcommittee thereof (subject to applicable Nasdaq and SEC independence requirements). As long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding and represent less than fifteen percent (15.0%), but no less than five percent (5.0%), on an as-converted basis, of the voting power of the Corporation’s Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis), irrespective of whether or not a notice has been given to the Corporation under Section A.4.a, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) Series A Director who will serve on the Board and will be entitled to serve on each committee and subcommittee thereof (subject to applicable Nasdaq and SEC independence requirements). For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, and if there are no Series A Directors on the Board, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to designate one (1) non-voting observer (an “Observer”) to attend all meetings of the Board and committees and subcommittees thereof. The Board will give the Observer the same prior notice given to each member of the Board in a manner permitted by the bylaws of the Corporation (as the same may be amended and/ or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”) for notice to directors of the time and place of any proposed meeting, and such notice in all cases shall include true and correct copies of all documents and other materials furnished to any director in connection with such meeting.

89

ANNEXURE 8

MATERIAL CONTRACTS

MiX Telematics North America Inc. (“MiX Telematics US”), a 100% owned subsidiary of MiX Telematics, acquired Trimble Inc’s (“Trimble”) field service management (“FSM”) business in North America on 2 September 2022 (the “FSM Acquisition”). FSM’s North American operations include the sale and support of telemetry and video solutions that enable back-office monitoring and visualisation for fleet services management in a number of industries. The FSM Acquisition presented an opportunity for MiX Telematics to increase its scale in North America and to further diversify its North America business by expanding its presence in market verticals such as construction and last mile logistics.

All existing FSM subscription contracts and the related revenue streams were acquired by MiX Telematics US. The purchase consideration for the FSM business comprised of the following:

·  An upfront cash payment of $3.7 million (R64.6 million) on 2 September 2022 (“Closing Date”), based on an upfront fee of $300 per subscription contract where the FSM customer has purchased or agreed to purchase 4G hardware as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and where the contractual term expires on or after the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date; and

·  Additional payments to be made in respect of the renewal of existing subscriptions as well as for new subscriptions entered into by customers (that were customers on the Closing Date) with MiX Telematics US. Depending on the hardware requirements of these customers and specific contract terms, Trimble will be paid between $200 and $300 per subscription contract. The additional payments will be made approximately every three months, ending on 2 March 2024, and have been treated as contingent consideration. The initial fair value of the contingent consideration of $4.1 million (R70.4 million) was included in the purchase price for purposes of calculating goodwill in the amount of R24 904 000 and reflects an expectation of approximately a 75% retention rate. Subsequent changes in fair value will be recognised in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimated total consideration for additional payments should not exceed $6.4 million which assumes a 100% conversion rate, which MiX Telematics believes is unlikely.

Trimble is an industrial technology company focused on delivering solutions through its core technologies in positioning, modelling, connectivity and data analytics aimed at improving productivity, quality, safety, transparency and sustainability. Trimble is a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq. No vendor has guaranteed book debts or other assets. The agreements in terms of which the FSM business was acquired (the “vendor agreements”) contained warranties standard for transactions of their nature. The vendor agreements did not preclude the vendors from carrying on business in competition with MiX Telematics nor do they impose any other similar restrictions on the vendors. No payment in cash or otherwise has been made in this regard. There are no liabilities for accrued taxation that were required to be settled in terms of the vendor agreements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 and 2022
In thousands (except per share data)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY

The Company is a global leader of Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) solutions providing valuable business intelligence for managing high-value enterprise assets that improve operational efficiencies.

I.D. Systems, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1993. PowerFleet, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware in February 2019 for the purpose of effectuating the transactions pursuant to which the Company acquired Pointer Telocation Ltd. (the “Transactions”) and commenced operations on October 3, 2019, upon the closing of the Transactions.

Impact of COVID-19 and Supply Chain Disruptions

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and mitigation efforts by governments to attempt to control its spread, has resulted in significant economic disruption and continues to adversely impact the broader global economy. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on the future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including the duration of the spread of the outbreak and COVID-19 variants, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions and vaccination campaigns, and the impact of these and other factors on capital and financial markets and the related impact on the financial circumstances of our employees, customers and suppliers.

In addition, the Company has experienced a significant impact to its supply chain given COVID-19 and the related global semiconductor chip shortage, including delays in supply chain deliveries, extended lead times and shortages of certain key components, some raw material cost increases and slowdowns at certain production facilities. As a result of these supply chain issues, the Company has had to increase its volume of inventory to ensure supply. The Company incurred supply chain constraint expenses which lowered its gross margins and decreased its profitability primarily during the last six months of 2021 and first nine months of 2022. The supply chain disruptions and the related global semiconductor chip shortage have delayed and may continue to delay the timing of some orders and expected deliveries of the Company’s products. If the impact of the supply chain disruptions are more severe than the Company expects, it could result in longer lead times, inventory supply challenges and further increased costs, all of which could result in the deterioration of the Company’s results, potentially for a longer period than currently anticipated.

As of the date of these audited consolidated financial statements, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the related supply chain disruptions, may materially impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition is uncertain.

Basis of presentation

The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information and the instructions to Form 10-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, the consolidated results of its operations for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the consolidated change in stockholders’ equity for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, and the consolidated cash flows for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash (including restricted cash) and cash equivalents of $18.0 million and working capital of $35.5 million. The Company’s primary sources of cash are cash flows from operating activities, its holdings of cash, cash equivalents and investments from the sale of its capital stock and borrowings under its credit facility. To date, the Company has not generated sufficient cash flows solely from operating activities to fund its operations.

In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries, PowerFleet Israel Ltd. (“PowerFleet Israel”) and Pointer Telocation Ltd. (“Pointer” and, together with PowerFleet Israel, the “Borrowers”) are party to a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank Hapoalim B.M. (“Hapoalim”), pursuant to which Hapoalim provided PowerFleet Israel with two senior secured term loan facilities denominated in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) in an initial aggregate principal amount of $30,000 (comprised of two facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $20,000 and $10,000) and a five-year revolving credit facility to Pointer in an initial aggregate principal amount of $10,000. The proceeds of the term loan facilities were used to finance a portion of the cash consideration payable in the Company’s acquisition of Pointer. The proceeds of the revolving credit facility may be used by Pointer for general corporate purposes. The Company borrowed net NIS20,091, or $5,709, under the revolving credit facility as of December 31. See Note 10 for additional information.

108

On October 31, 2022, the Borrowers entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Hapoalim. The Third Amendment provides for, among other things, a new revolving credit facility to Pointer denominated in NIS in an initial aggregate principal amount of $10 million (the “New Revolver”). The New Revolver will be available for a period of one month, commencing on October 31, 2022, and will continue to be available for successive one-month periods until and including October 30, 2023, unless the Borrowers deliver a notice to Hapoalim of their request not to renew the New Revolver.

The New Revolver will initially bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 2.59%. Such interest is subject to monthly changes by Hapoalim, provided that Hapoalim gives Pointer advance notice regarding such change prior to the end of the applicable calendar month.

The New Revolver is secured by a first ranking fixed pledge and assignment by Pointer over its new bank account, which was opened in connection with the New Revolver, and all of the rights relating thereunder as well as a cross guarantee by PowerFleet Israel.

Pointer is required to pay a credit allocation fee equal to 0.5% per annum on undrawn and uncancelled amounts of the New Revolver.

Pointer has a one-year $1,000 revolving credit facility available for use with Discount Bank, which renews annually, subject to the bank’s approval. Pointer did not have any borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility with Discount Bank as of December 31, 2022.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is significant uncertainty surrounding the potential impact on our results of operations and cash flows. During 2020, 2021 and 2022, we proactively took steps to increase available cash on hand including, but not limited to, targeted reductions in discretionary operating expenses and capital expenditures.

The Company believes that its available working capital, anticipated level of future revenues, expected cash flows from operations and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility with Hapoalim will provide sufficient funds to cover capital requirements through at least March 31, 2024.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

[A] Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PowerFleet, Inc. and its subsidiaries (which, as noted above, are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

[B] Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness. The most significant estimates relate to realisation of deferred tax assets, accounting for uncertain tax positions, the impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, capitalised software development costs, stock-based compensation costs and standalone selling price related to multiple element revenue arrangements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

As of December 31, 2022, the impact of global uncertainties continue to unfold. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change materially in future periods.

[C] Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents unless they are legally or contractually restricted. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and other local jurisdictional limits. Restricted cash at December 31, 2021 and 2022 consists of cash held in escrow for purchases from a vendor.

109

[D] Accounts receivable:

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains reserves against its accounts receivable for potential losses. Allowances for uncollectible accounts are estimated based on the Company’s periodic review of accounts receivable balances. In establishing the required allowance, management considers our customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $3,176 and $2,567 in 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

[E] Revenue recognition:

The Company and its subsidiaries generate revenue from sales of systems and products and from customer SaaS and hosting infrastructure fees. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognised as expense. The expected costs associated with the Company’s base warranties continue to be recognised as expense when the products are sold (see Note 11).

Revenue is recognised when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Product sales are recognised at a point in time when title transfers, when the products are shipped, or when control of the system is transferred to the customer, which usually is upon delivery of the system and when contractual performance obligations have been satisfied. For products which do not have standalone value to the customer separate from the SaaS services provided, the Company considers both hardware and SaaS services a bundled performance obligation. Under the applicable accounting guidance, all of the Company’s billings for equipment and the related cost for these systems are deferred, recorded, and classified as a current and long-term liability and a current and long-term asset, respectively. The deferred revenue and cost are recognised over the service contract life, ranging from one to five years, beginning at the time that a customer acknowledges acceptance of the equipment and service.

The Company recognises revenue for remotely hosted SaaS agreements and post-contract maintenance and support agreements beyond our standard warranties over the life of the contract. Revenue is recognised ratably over the service periods and the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. Amounts invoiced to customers which are not recognised as revenue are classified as deferred revenue and classified as short-term or long-term based upon the terms of future services to be delivered. Deferred revenue also includes prepayment of extended maintenance, hosting and support contracts.

The Company earns other service revenues from installation services, training and technical support services which are short-term in nature and revenue for these services are recognised at the time of performance when the service is provided.

The Company also derives revenue from leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering product or system sale, maintenance, support and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as operating or sales-type leases. Accordingly, for sales-type leases an asset is established for the “sales-type lease receivable” at the present value of the expected lease payments and revenue is deferred and recognised over the service contract, as described above. Maintenance revenues and interest income are recognised monthly over the lease term.

The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on observable prices charged to customers or adjusted market assessment or using expected cost-plus margin when one is available. Adjusted market assessment price is determined based on overall pricing objectives taking into consideration market conditions and entity specific factors.

The Company recognises an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining the contract arising from the sales commissions to employees because the Company expects to recover those costs through future fees from the customers. The Company amortises the asset over one to five years because the asset relates to the services transferred to the customer during the contract term of one to five years.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognises revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.

110

[F] Deferred costs:

Deferred product costs consist of PowerFleet for Logistics equipment costs deferred in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. The Company evaluates the realisability of the carrying amount of the deferred contract costs. To the extent the carrying value of the deferred contract costs exceed the contract revenue, an impairment loss will be recognised.

[G] Inventory:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined using the “moving average” cost method or the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory consists of components, work in process and finished products.

Inventory valuation reserves are established in order to report inventories at the lower of cost or net realisable value in the consolidated balance sheet. The determination of inventory valuation reserves requires management to make estimates and judgments on the future salability of inventories. Valuation reserves for obsolete and slow-moving inventory are estimated based on assumptions of future sales forecasts, product life cycle expectations, the impact of new product introductions, production requirements, and specific identification of items, such as product discontinuance or engineering/material changes and by comparing the inventory levels to historical usage rates.

[H] Fixed assets and depreciation:

Fixed assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortisation are recognised using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The following table provides the range of estimated useful lives used for each asset type:

	Useful Life (years)
Computer software	3 – 5
Installed products	3 – 5
Computers and electronic equipment	3 – 10
Furniture and fixtures	5 – 7
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of useful life or lease term

[I] Long-lived assets:

Long-lived assets, which includes definite lived intangible assets and fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets and would be charged to earnings. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

[J] Goodwill and intangibles:

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortised and are tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortised over their useful lives unless the lives are determined to be indefinite. Intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortisation. Intangible assets consist of trademarks and trade name, patents, customer relationships, software to be sold or leased, and other intangible assets. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. The Company operates in one operating segment which is its only reporting unit. The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually which is the first day of the Company’s fourth quarter or when an indicator of impairment exists, by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value.

In the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary or to perform a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Under the qualitative assessment, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. By eliminating “Step 2” from the goodwill impairment test, the quantitative analysis of goodwill will result in an impairment loss for the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value which is limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

111

The Company performed a quantitative assessment whereby the fair value of the reporting unit is calculated using a market approach and a discounted cash flow method, as a form of the income approach. The market approach includes the use of comparative revenue and adjusted EBITDA multiples to complement discounted cash flow results. The discounted cash flow method is based on the present value of the projected cash flows and a terminal value. The terminal value represents the expected normalised future cash flows of the reporting unit beyond the cash flows from the discrete projection period. The fair value of the reporting unit is calculated based on the sum of the present value of the cash flows from the discrete period and the present value of the terminal value. The discount rate represented our estimate of the WACC, or expected return, that a marketplace participant would have required as of the valuation date. The application of our goodwill impairment test required key assumptions underlying our valuation model.

The discounted cash flow analysis factored in assumptions on discount rates and terminal growth rates to reflect risk profiles, as well as revenue and cost growth relative to history and market trends and expectations. The market multiples approach incorporated judgment involved in the selection of comparable public company multiples and benchmarks. The selection of companies and multiples was influenced by differences in growth and profitability, and volatility in market prices of peer companies. These valuation inputs are inherently judgmental, and an adverse change in one or a combination of these inputs could trigger a goodwill impairment loss in the future.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company did not incur an impairment charge.

[K] Product warranties:

The Company typically provides a 1 – 8 year warranty on its products. Estimated future warranty costs are accrued in the period that the related revenue is recognised. These estimates are derived from historical data and trends of product reliability and costs of repairing and replacing defective products.

[L] Research and development:

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and consists primarily of salaries and related expenses, supplies and contractor costs. Research and development costs were $10,597, $11,058, and $8,964 in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

[M] Patent costs:

Cost incurred in connection with acquiring patent rights are charged to expense as incurred.

[N] Concentrations of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and its subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in deposits with major banks worldwide. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear low risk. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments have a high credit rating.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, there were no customers who generated revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues or generated greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable.

[O] Benefit plan:

The Company maintains a retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers all eligible employees. All employees with U.S. source income are eligible to participate in the plan immediately upon employment. The Company did not make any contributions to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the Company contributed $285 to the plan.

[P] Severance pay:

The liability of the Company’s subsidiaries in Israel for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israel’s Severance Pay Law 5273-1963 (the “Severance Law”) based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of balance sheet date and are presented on an undiscounted basis. Employees are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof. The liability for the Company and its subsidiaries in Israel is fully provided by monthly deposits with insurance policies and by accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet.

112

The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to the Severance Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies, and includes profits or losses accumulated to balance sheet date.

Some of the Company’s employees are subject to Section 14 of the Severance Law and the General Approval of the Labor Minister dated June 30, 1998, issued in accordance to the said Section 14, mandating that upon termination of such employees’ employment, all the amounts accrued in their insurance policies shall be released to them. The severance pay liabilities and deposits covered by these plans are not reflected in the balance sheet as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the severance funds.

[Q] Stock-based compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation for all share-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock, as an operating expense based on their fair values on grant date. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $4,142, $4,416, and $4,343 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based option awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognised as expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. The estimate is based on the Company’s historical rates of forfeitures. Estimated forfeitures are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

[R] Income taxes:

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted statutory rates to net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realised.

The Company recognises uncertainty in income taxes in the financial statements using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company applies the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions, commencing at the adoption date of the applicable accounting guidance, which resulted in no unrecognised tax benefits as of such date. Additionally, there have been no unrecognised tax benefits subsequent to adoption. The Company has opted to classify interest and penalties that would accrue according to the provisions of relevant tax law as selling, general, and administrative expenses and incomes taxes, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, interest and penalties were immaterial.

[S] Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company utilises a fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those levels:

● Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

● Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investments in securities are carried at fair value. The carrying value of financing receivables approximates fair value due to the interest rate implicit in the instruments approximating current market rates. The carrying value of accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short term bank debt approximates their fair values due to the short period to maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long term debt is based on observable relevant market information and future cash flows discounted at current rates, which are Level 2 measurements.

	December 31, 2022 Carrying Fair
	Amount		Value
Long term debt	$	21,715	$	21,224

113

[T] Advertising and marketing expense:

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 amounted to $1,022, $1,185, and $1,084, respectively.

[U] Foreign currency:

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S dollar (“USD”). For businesses where the majority of the revenues are generated in USD or linked to the USD and a substantial portion of the costs are incurred in USD, the Company’s management believes that the USD is the primary currency of the economic environment and thus their functional currency. Due to the fact that Argentina has been determined to be highly inflationary, the financial statements of our subsidiary in Argentina have been remeasured as if its functional currency was the USD. The Company also has foreign operations where the functional currency is the local currency. For these operations, assets and liabilities are translated using the end-of-period exchange rates and revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated using average rates of exchange for the period. Equity is translated at the rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation adjustments are recognised in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Net translation gains/(losses) from the translation of foreign currency are $134, $(8) and $(1,601) at December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, which are included in comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses related to operational expenses denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in determining net income or loss. Foreign currency transaction gains/(losses) for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 of $148, $(128), and $(847) respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Foreign currency transaction gains/(losses) related to long-term debt of $(2,137), $810 and $2,689 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

[V] Commitments and contingencies:

From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters involving claims incidental to its business and acquisitions, including employment matters, acquisition related claims, patent infringement and contractual matters, among other issues. While the outcome of any such litigation matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently believes that the outcome of these proceedings, including the matters described below, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company records reserves related to legal matters when losses related to such litigation or contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.

[W] Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance is generally effective as of January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which amends the guidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortised cost. The amendment is intended to address the issue that the previous “incurred loss” methodology was restrictive for an entity’s ability to record credit losses based on not yet meeting the “probable” threshold. The new language will require these assets to be valued at amortised cost presented at the net amount expected to be collected with a valuation provision. This updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

[Y] Reclassifications:

Certain prior amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation for comparative purposes. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported results of operations.

114

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company and its subsidiaries generate revenue from sales of systems and products and from customer SaaS and hosting infrastructure fees. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognised as expense. The expected costs associated with the Company’s base warranties continue to be recognised as expense when the products are sold (see Note 11).

Revenue is recognised when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Product sales are recognised at a point in time when title transfers, when the products are shipped, or when control of the system is transferred to the customer, which usually is upon delivery of the system and when contractual performance obligations have been satisfied. For products which do not have standalone value to the customer separate from the SaaS services provided, the Company considers both hardware and SaaS services a bundled performance obligation. Under the applicable accounting guidance, all of the Company’s billings for equipment and the related cost for these systems are deferred, recorded, and classified as a current and long-term liability and a current and long-term asset, respectively. The deferred revenue and cost are recognised over the service contract life, ranging from one to five years, beginning at the time that a customer acknowledges acceptance of the equipment and service.

The Company recognises revenue for remotely hosted SaaS agreements and post-contract maintenance and support agreements beyond our standard warranties over the life of the contract. Revenue is recognised ratably over the service periods and the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. Amounts invoiced to customers which are not recognised as revenue are classified as deferred revenue and classified as short-term or long-term based upon the terms of future services to be delivered. Deferred revenue also includes prepayment of extended maintenance, hosting and support contracts.

The Company earns other service revenues from installation services, training and technical support services which are short-term in nature and revenue for these services are recognised at the time of performance when the service is provided.

The Company also derives revenue from leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering product or system sale, maintenance, support and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as operating or sales-type leases. Accordingly, for sales-type leases an asset is established for the “sales-type lease receivable” at the present value of the expected lease payments and revenue is deferred and recognised over the service contract, as described above. Maintenance revenues and interest income are recognised monthly over the lease term.

The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on observable prices charged to customers or adjusted market assessment or using expected cost-plus margin when one is available. Adjusted market assessment price is determined based on overall pricing objectives taking into consideration market conditions and entity specific factors.

The Company recognises an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining the contract arising from the sales commissions to employees because the Company expects to recover those costs through future fees from the customers. The Company amortises the asset over one to five years because the asset relates to the services transferred to the customer during the contract term of one to five years.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognises revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022:

NOTE 7 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Beginning in 2022, the Company began to capitalise software costs for software to be sold, marketed, or leased to customers. Costs incurred internally in researching and developing software products are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, software costs are capitalised until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. The amortisation of these costs will be included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products.

The following table summarises identifiable intangible assets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Global uncertainties continue to adversely impact the broader global economy and has caused significant volatility in financial markets. If there is a lack of recovery or further global softening in certain markets, or a sustained decline in the value of the Company’s common stock, the Company may conclude that indicators of impairment exist and would then be required to calculate whether an impairment exists for its goodwill, other intangibles, and long-lived assets, the results of which could result in material impairment charges. The Company tests goodwill and other indefinite lives intangible assets on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exists.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company determined that no impairment existed to the goodwill, customer list and trademark and trade name of its acquired intangibles. At December 31, 2022, the weighted-average amortisation period for the intangible assets was 8.9 years. At December 31, 2022, the weighted-average amortisation periods for customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, patents, technology, and capitalised software to be sold or leased were 11.9, 9.6, 7.0, 4.3, and 3.0 years, respectively.

Amortisation expense for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was $5,328, $5,154, and $5,079, respectively. Estimated future amortisation expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for these intangible assets is as follows:

Year ending December 31:

2023	$	5,656
2024		3,243
2025		3,117
2026		2,413
2027		2,232
Thereafter		6,082
	$	22,743

The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on October 1 of each year and between annual tests if a triggering event indicates the possibility of an impairment. The Company monitors changing business conditions as well as industry and economic factors, among others, for events which could trigger the need for an interim impairment analysis. The Company concluded that a sustained decline in its stock price coupled with continuing losses, represented a triggering event for impairment during the third quarter.

Accordingly, the Company performed an interim quantitative impairment analysis at September 30, 2022 using a market-based and income-based quantitative assessment utilising a combination of the (i) the guideline public company method applying revenue and adjusted EBITDA multiples of similar companies and, (ii) the discounted cash flow method, respectively. The fair value determination used in the impairment assessment requires estimates of the fair values based present value or other valuation techniques or a combination thereof, necessitating subjective judgments and assumptions by management. These estimates and assumptions could result in significant differences to the amounts reported if underlying circumstances were to change. The Company concluded that no impairment relating to goodwill existed at December 31, 2022.

There have been no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s stockholders have approved the Company’s 2018 Incentive Plan (as amended the “2018 Plan”) pursuant to which the Company may grant stock options, restricted stock and other equity-based awards with respect to up to an aggregate of 6,500 shares of the Company’s common stock with a vesting period of approximately four to five years. There were 1,349 shares available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan as of December 31, 2022.

The 2018 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which has the authority to determine, among other things, the term during which an option may be exercised (not more than 10 years), the exercise price of an option and the vesting provisions.

The Company recognises all employee share-based payments in the statement of operations as an operating expense, based on their fair values on the applicable grant date.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Pointer, the Company previously approved the grants of options to purchase 350 shares of the Company’s common stock to Chris Wolfe, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and options to purchase 150 shares of the Company’s common stock to Ned Mavrommatis, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, on March 13, 2019 (the “Signing Bonus Options”) and the grants of additional options to purchase 350 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Wolfe and additional options to purchase 150 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Mavrommatis on October 3, 2019 (the “Closing Bonus Options” and together with the Signing Bonus Options, the “Original Bonus Options”). The Original Bonus Options were subject to the terms of the Company’s 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), vested upon the attainment of adjusted EBITDA targets for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021 and became exercisable 180 days after vesting, subject to acceleration in the event of certain change of control transactions. The Signing Bonus Options had an exercise price of $6.28 per share and the Closing Bonus Options had an exercise price of $6.00 per share.

In response to the impact of COVID-19, the Board terminated and cancelled the Original Bonus Options and approved the following grants to replace the Original Bonus Options: (i) options to purchase 350 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Wolfe and options to purchase 150 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Mavrommatis (the “New Signing Options”), which options are subject to the terms of the 2018 Plan, have an exercise price of $6.28 per share, and will vest and become exercisable in full on December 31, 2022 if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during a consecutive 30 trading day period (the “30 Day VWAP”) reaches $12.00 at any point prior to December 31, 2022, and (ii) options to purchase 350 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Wolfe and options to purchase 150 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Mavrommatis (the “New Closing Options”), which options are subject to the terms of the 2018 Plan, have an exercise price of $6.00 per share, and will vest and become exercisable immediately upon the Company achieving a 30 Day VWAP of $10.00.

During the first fiscal quarter of 2022, the Company granted options to purchase 5,960 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain senior managers, including the Company’s executive officers, consisting of options to purchase 895 shares of common stock with time-based vesting conditions and options to purchase 5,065 shares of common stock with performance-based vesting conditions (which we refer to as “market-based stock options”). The market-based stock options have an exercise price that range from $2.85 to $21.00. The market-based stock options will vest and become exercisable if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during a consecutive 60-day trading period (the “60 Day VWAP”) ranges between $10.50 and $21.00. The Company valued the market-based stock option awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model using a daily price forecast over ten years until expiration utilising Geometric Brownian Motion that considers a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s common stock price, risk-free rate (1.7%), and expected stock price volatility (51.7%) over the expected life of awards (10 years). The weighted average fair value of market-based stock options granted during the period was $1.60.

The fair value of each option grant on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model reflecting the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2021			2022
Expected volatility		47.1	%		50.2	%		49.4	%
Expected life of options		6.3 years			6.5 years			6.5 years
Risk free interest rate		0.93	%		0.69	%		1.73	%
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%
Weighted-average fair value of options granted during year	$	2.69		$	3.81		$	2.04

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the expected life of options is based on historical data with respect to employee exercise periods.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company recorded $1,587, $1,684, and $2,943 respectively, of stock-based compensation expense in connection with the stock option grants.

The fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was $1,974, $1,201, and $869, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was $313, $483, and $0, respectively.

As of December 31, 2022, there was $2,009 of total unrecognised compensation costs related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans excluding the market-based stock options that were granted to certain senior managers, including the Company’s executive officers. That cost is expected to be recognised over a weighted-average period of 2.98 years.

As of December 31, 2022, there was $6,007 of total unrecognised compensation costs related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans for the market-based stock options that were granted to certain senior managers, including the Company’s executive officers. That cost is expected to be recognised over a weighted- average period of 2.97 years.

The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of valuation and reduces expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.

121

[B] Restricted Stock Awards:

The Company grants restricted stock to employees, whereby the employees are contractually restricted from transferring the shares until they are vested. The stock is unvested at the time of grant and, upon vesting, there are no legal restrictions on the stock. The fair value of each share is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of the grant. A summary of the non-vested shares for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 is as follows:

	Number of Non-Vested Shares			Weighted – Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested, at January 1, 2020		877			6.17
Granted		463			4.88
Vested		(389	)		6.01

Vested		(229	)		6.99
Forfeited or expired		(186	)		7.08
Non-vested, at December 31, 2022		706			4.75

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company recorded $2,272, $2,529, and $1,347, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense in connection with the restricted stock grants. As of December 31, 2022, there was $2,284 of total unrecognised compensation cost related to non-vested shares. That cost is expected to be recognised over a weighted-average period of 2.37 years.

[C] Restricted Stock Units:

The Company also grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees. The following table summarises the activity relating to the Company’s RSUs for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022:

	Number of Restricted			Weighted – Average

NOTE 9 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

	December 31,
Basic and diluted loss per share	2020			2021			2022
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(13,606	)	$	(18,072	)	$	(11,905	)
Weighted-average common share outstanding – basic and diluted		29,703			34,571			35,393
Net loss attributable to common stockholders – basic and diluted	$	(0.46	)		(0.52	)	$	(0.34	)

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase outstanding common shares. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock and performance share awards. We include participating securities (unvested share-based payment awards and equivalents that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents) in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Our participating securities consist solely of preferred stock, which have contractual participation rights equivalent to those of stockholders of unrestricted common stock. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an allocation method that calculates earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. During periods of net loss, no effect is given to the participating securities because they do not share in the losses of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are the same, since the effect from the potential exercise of outstanding stock options, conversion of preferred stock and vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units totaling 11,998, 11,628 and 16,571 respectively, would have been anti-dilutive due to the loss.

Long term debt

In connection with the Transactions, PowerFleet Israel incurred NIS denominated debt in term loan borrowings on the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Hapoalim agreed to provide PowerFleet Israel with two senior secured term loan facilities in an initial aggregate principal amount of $30,000 (comprised of two facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $20,000 and $10,000, respectively (the “Term A Facility” and “Term B Facility”, respectively, and collectively, the “Term Facilities”)) and a five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) to Pointer denominated in NIS in an initial aggregate principal amount of $10,000 (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). As of December 31, 2022, the Company borrowed NIS 20,091 or $5,709, under the Revolving Facility.

The Credit Facilities will mature on the date that is five years from the Closing Date. The indicative interest rate provided for the Term Facilities in the original Credit Agreement was approximately 4.73% for the Term A Facility and 5.89% for the Term B Facility. The interest rate for the Revolving Facility is, with respect to NIS- denominated loans, Hapoalim’s prime rate + 2.5%, and with respect to US dollar-denominated loans, LIBOR + 4.6% (amended to SOFR + 2.15%). In addition, the Company agreed to pay a 1% commitment fee on the unutilised and uncancelled availability under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Facilities are secured by the shares held by PowerFleet Israel in Pointer and by Pointer over all of its assets. The original Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants (including the following financial covenants, tested quarterly: Pointer’s net debt to EBITDA; Pointer’s net debt to working capital; minimum equity of PowerFleet Israel; PowerFleet Israel equity to total assets; PowerFleet Israel net debt to EBITDA; and Pointer EBITDA to current payments and events of default.

123

On August 23, 2021, PowerFleet Israel and Pointer (the “Borrowers”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”), effective as of August 1, 2021, to the Credit Agreement with Hapoalim. The Amendment memorialises the agreements between the Borrowers and Hapoalim regarding a reduction in the interest rates of the two Term Facilities. Pursuant to the Amendment, commencing as of November 12, 2020, the interest rate with respect to the Term A Facility was reduced to a fixed rate of 3.65% per annum and the interest rate with respect to the Term B Facility was reduced to a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum. The Amendment also provides, among other things, for (i) a reduction in the credit allocation fee on undrawn and uncancelled amounts of the Revolving Facility from 1% to 0.5% per annum, (ii) removal of the requirement that PowerFleet Israel maintain $3,000 on deposit in a separate reserve fund, and (iii) modifications to certain of the affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant regarding the ratio of the Borrowers’ debt levels to Pointer’s EBITDA. The Company is in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2022.

In connection with the Credit Facilities, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $742. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022 the Company recorded $31, $290, and $215 respectively, of amortisation of the debt issuance costs. The Company recorded charges of $1,451, $1,078, and $824 to interest expense on its consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 related to interest expense associated with the Credit Facilities.

On October 31, 2022, the Borrowers entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Hapoalim. The Third Amendment provides for, among other things, the New Revolver. The New Revolver will be available for a period of one month, commencing on October 31, 2022, and will continue to be available for successive one-month periods until and including October 30, 2023, unless the Borrowers deliver a notice to Hapoalim of their request not to renew the New Revolver.

The New Revolver will initially bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 2.59%. Such interest is subject to monthly changes by Hapoalim, provided that Hapoalim gives Pointer advance notice regarding such change prior to the end of the applicable calendar month.

The New Revolver is secured by a first ranking fixed pledge and assignment by Pointer over its new bank account, which was opened in connection with the New Revolver, and all of the rights relating thereunder as well as a cross guarantee by PowerFleet Israel.

Pointer is required to pay a credit allocation fee equal to 0.5% per annum on undrawn and uncancelled amounts of the New Revolver.

Pointer has a one-year $1,000 revolving credit facility available for use with Discount Bank, which renews annually, subject to the bank’s approval. Pointer did not have any borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility with Discount Bank as of December 31, 2022.

Scheduled maturities of the long-term debt as of December 31, 2022 are as follows:

	Year ending December 31:
2023	$	4,603
2024		11,403
		16,006
Less: Current Portion		4,603
Total	$	11,403

The Term B Facility is not subject to amortisation over the life of the loan and instead the original principal amount is to be due in one installment on the fifth anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Transactions.

NOTE 13 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

[A] Public Offering:

On February 1, 2021 the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 4,428 shares of common stock (which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ over- allotment option) for gross proceeds of approximately $28,800, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

[B] ATM Offering:

On May 14, 2020, we entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Canaccord, pursuant to which we could offer and sell, from time to time through an “at-the-market offering” program, with Canaccord as sales agent, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000. The Sales Agreement provided for the Company to pay Canaccord a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of common stock occurring pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The offer and sale of common stock in the ATM Offering were made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the SEC on November 27, 2019, the base prospectus contained therein dated November 27, 2019, and a prospectus supplement related to the ATM Offering dated May 14, 2020. The Company sold 810 shares of common stock through Canaccord under the Sales Agreement, received net proceeds from such sales of $4,000, and paid Canaccord $125 in commissions with respect to sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement was terminated effective as of August 14, 2020.

[C] Redeemable Preferred stock:

The Company is authorised to issue 150 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share of which 100 shares are designated Series A Preferred Stock and 50 shares are undesignated.

Series A Preferred Stock

In connection with the completion of the Transactions, on October 3, 2019, the Company issued 50 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to ABRY Senior Equity V, L.P., ABRY Senior Equity Co-Investment Fund V, L.P and ABRY Investment Partnership, L.P. (the “Investors”). For the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, the Company issued -0-and 4 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Liquidation

The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the original issuance price of $1,000.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments (the “Series A Issue Price”), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (except in the case of a deemed liquidation event, then 150% of such amount) and (ii) the amount such holder would have received if the Series A Preferred Stock had converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation.

126

Dividends

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a minimum rate of 7.5% per annum (calculated on the basis of the Series A Issue Price), quarterly in arrears. The dividends are payable at the Company’s election, in kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or in cash, provided no dividend payment failure has occurred and is continuing and that there has not previously occurred two or more dividend payment failures. Commencing on the 66-month anniversary of the date on which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are first issued (the “Original Issuance Date”), and on each monthly anniversary thereafter, the dividend rate will increase by 100 basis points, until the dividend rate reaches 17.5% per annum, subject to the Company’s right to defer the increase for up to three consecutive months on terms set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”). During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and December 31, 2022, the Company paid dividends in the amounts of $3,927, $4,112 and $4,231 shares respectively, to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, dividends in arrears were $-0- and $-0-respectively.

Voting; Consent Rights

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be given notice by the Company of any meeting of stockholders or action to be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders as to which the holders of common stock are given notice at the same time as provided in, and in accordance with, the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. Except as required by applicable law or as otherwise specifically set forth in the Charter, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any matter presented to the Company’s stockholders unless and until any holder of Series A Preferred Stock provides written notification to the Company that such holder is electing, on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, to activate their voting rights and in doing so rendering the Series A Preferred Stock voting capital stock of the Company (such notice, a “Series A Voting Activation Notice”). From and after the delivery of a Series A Voting Activation Notice, all holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote with the holders of common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis (provided, however, that any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to cast votes for the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder that exceeds the quotient of (1) the aggregate Series A Issue Price for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock divided by (2) $5.57 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications and similar events, as applicable)). So long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding and convertible into shares of common stock that represent at least 10% of the voting power of the common stock, or the Investors or their affiliates continue to hold at least 33% of the aggregate amount of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Investors on the Original Issuance Date, the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be necessary for the Company to, among other things, (i) liquidate the Company or any operating subsidiary or effect any deemed liquidation event (as such term is defined in the Charter), except for a deemed liquidation event in which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock receive an amount in cash not less than the Redemption Price (as defined below), (ii) amend the Company’s organisational documents in a manner that adversely affects the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) issue any securities that are senior to, or equal in priority with, the Series A Preferred Stock or issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock to any person other than the Investors or their affiliates, (iv) incur indebtedness above the agreed-upon threshold, (v) change the size of the Company’s board of directors to a number other than seven, or (vi) enter into certain affiliated arrangements or transactions.

Redemption

At any time, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock may elect to convert each share of such holder’s then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Series A Issue Price, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by (y) the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The Series A Conversion Price is initially equal to $7.319, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Charter.

At any time after the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, subject to certain conditions, the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for an amount per share, equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) 1.5 multiplied by (y) the sum of the Series A Issue Price, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and (ii) the product of (x) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock multiplied by (y) the volume weighted average price of the common stock during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading date immediately prior to the date of such redemption notice or, if calculated in connection with a deemed liquidation event, the value ascribed to a share of common stock in such deemed liquidation event (the “Redemption Price”).

Further, at any time (i) after the 66-month anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, (ii) following delivery of a mandatory conversion notice by us, or (iii) upon a deemed liquidation event, subject to Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may elect to require us to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an amount per share equal to the Redemption Price.

127

On June 9, 2021, the Company entered into a preferred stock redemption right agreement (the “Redemption Right Agreement”) with the Investors, pursuant to which the Company had the right to redeem 10 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $1,450 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, to be paid in cash. The Company did not exercise its redemption right and the Redemption Right Agreement automatically terminated on October 1, 2021.

NOTE 14 – ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net loss and unrealised gains or losses on available-for-sale investments and foreign currency translation gains and losses.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognised tax positions is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2022
Balance at the beginning of the year	$	423	$	485
Additions based on tax provisions taken related to current year	62		(125		)
Balance at the end of year	$	485	$	360

The unrecognised tax benefits, if recognised, would reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The Company does not expect any significant changes to its unrecognised tax positions during the next twelve months.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had an aggregate net operating loss carryforward of approximately $78,285 for U.S. federal income tax purposes. At December 31, 2022, the Company had an aggregate net operating loss carryforward of approximately $37,628 for state income tax purposes and a foreign net operating loss carryforward of approximately $31,868. Substantially all of the net operating loss carryforwards expire from 2023 through 2037 for pre-2018 federal net operating loss carryforwards and from 2023 through 2041 for state purposes. The net operating loss carryforwards may be limited to use in any particular year based on Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 related to change of ownership restrictions. Section 382 of the IRC imposes an annual limitation on the utilisation of NOL carryforwards based on long-term bond rates and the value of the corporation at the time of a change in ownership as defined by Section 382 of the IRC. In 2019, the Company incurred a change in ownership under Section 382 of the IRC and this change of ownership is not expected to materially impact the Company’s ability to utilise its net operating loss carryforward amounts in the future. In addition, future stock issuances may subject the Company to further limitations on the utilisation of its net operating loss carryforwards under the same Internal Revenue Code provision.

130

At December 31, 2022, the Company has New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards (“NJ NOLs”) included above in the approximate amount of $5,006 expiring through 2041, which are available to reduce future earnings which would otherwise be subject to state income tax.

The Company is asserting permanent reinvestment of all accumulated undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 in excess of annual debt service costs requirements.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s valuation allowance decreased to $43,654 compared to $44,228 as of December 31, 2021 primarily due to utilisation of the net operating losses. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the full amount of its domestic deferred tax assets and the majority of the foreign deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was established because of the uncertainty of realisation of the deferred tax assets due to lack of sufficient history of generating taxable income. Realisation is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards in future periods. The valuation decreased in 2021 and 2022 by $1,842, and $574, respectively.

Audits for federal income tax returns are closed for the years through 2018. However, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) can audit the NOL’s generated during those years in the years that the NOL’s are utilised. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to six years after the filing of the respective tax return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. Foreign income tax returns are generally subject to examination based on the tax laws of the respective jurisdictions.

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Except for normal operating leases, the Company is not currently subject to any material commitments.

[A] Contingencies:

From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters involving claims incidental to its business and acquisitions, including employment matters, acquisition related claims, patent infringement and contractual matters, among other issues. While the outcome of any such litigation matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently believes that the outcome of these proceedings, including the matters described below, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company records reserves related to legal matters when losses related to such litigation or contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.

In August 2014, Pointer do Brasil Comercial Ltda. (“Pointer Brazil”) received a notification of lack of payment of VAT tax (Brazilian ICMS tax) in the amount of $197 plus $1,057 of interest and penalty, totaling $1,254 as of December 31, 2022. The Company is vigorously defending this tax assessment before the administrative court in Brazil, but in light of the administrative and judicial processes in Brazil, it could take up to 14 years before the dispute is finally resolved. In case the administrative court rules against the Company, the Company could claim before the judicial court, an appellate court in Brazil, a substantial reduction of interest charged, potentially reducing the Company’s total exposure. The Company’s legal counsel is of the opinion that the chance of loss is not probable and for this reason the Company has not made any provision.

In July 2015, Pointer Brazil received a tax deficiency notice alleging that the services provided by Pointer Brazil should be classified as “telecommunication services” and therefore Pointer Brazil should be subject to the state value-added tax. The aggregate amount claimed to be owed under the notice was approximately $11,777 as of December 31, 2022. On August 14, 2018, the lower chamber of the State Tax Administrative Court in São Paulo rendered a decision that was favorable to Pointer Brazil in relation to the ICMS demands, but adverse in regards to the clerical obligation of keeping in good order a set of ICMS books and related tax receipts. The remaining claim after this administrative decision is $202. The state has the opportunity to appeal to the higher chamber of the State Tax Administrative Court. The Company’s legal counsel is of the opinion that the chance of loss is not probable and that no material costs will arise in respect to these claims. For this reason, the Company has not made any provision.

131

On February 24, 2022, Pointer Mexico received a notification for 2015 tax assessment in the amount of $238 regarding the underpayment of VAT and government fees from the Mexican Tax Service (“MTS”). Under the statute and case law, Pointer Mexico was entitled to appeal before the MTS or file a lawsuit before the Federal Court of Administrative Justice (Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa). On April 19, 2022, Pointer Mexico filed an appeal for revocation of the assessment.

On May 3, 2022, Pointer Mexico filed additional evidence before the MTS. On January 24, 2023, the MTS resolved the administrative revocation appeal, confirming the tax assessment against Pointer Mexico. Against this last resolution, Pointer Mexico is entitled to appeal before the Federal Court of Administrative Justice. The term for the filing of this appeal lapses on March 8, 2023. Based on the current analysis of the facts and case, the Company has recorded a provision of $238.

On February 24, 2022, Pointer Mexico received a notification for 2016 and 2017 tax assessment in the amounts of $268 and $476, respectively, regarding the underpayment of VAT and government fees from the MTS. Under the statute and case law, Pointer Mexico was entitled to appeal before the MTS or file a lawsuit before the Federal Court of Administrative Justice. On April 19, 2022, Pointer Mexico filed an appeal for revocation of the assessment. On May 2, 2022, Pointer Mexico filed additional evidence before the MTS. As of December 31, 2022, the MTS has not resolved the administrative revocation appeal. The Company’s legal counsel is of the opinion that the chance of loss is not probable and for this reason the Company has not made any provision.

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 6, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive share purchase and transfer agreement (the “Agreement”) with Swiss Re Reinsurance Holding Company Ltd (the “Seller”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Movingdots GmbH (“Movingdots”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller, for consideration consisting of €1 and the issuance by the Company of a ten-year warrant to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. Under the Agreement, the Seller is required to ensure that Movingdots has available cash and cash equivalents of at least €8,000,000 as of the closing date. The transaction closed on March 31, 2023.

Other information

Ernst & Young Inc, based in South Africa, is not the statutory auditor of Powerfleet. Regulation 79 requires the auditor of PowerFleet to issue an Agreed-Upon Procedures Report in relation to the Subject Matter. An auditor as defined in the Companies Act is required to be registered with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA) in South Africa. Ernst & Young LLP based in the United States is the statutory auditor to Powerfleet, Inc, and are therefore not registered with the IRBA and therefore does not fit the definition of “auditor” contemplated in the Companies Act. As such, PowerFleet do not have auditors in the strict application of Regulation 79 and would not be able to issue an Agreed Upon Procedures Report if Regulation 79 were to be applied strictly. Ernst & Young Inc, have therefore issued the Agreed-Upon Procedures Report.

ANNEXURE 15

EXCHANGE CONTROL

The information below is not intended as legal advice and it does not purport to describe all of the considerations that may be relevant to the receipt of the Scheme Consideration by MiX Telematics Shareholders. MiX Telematics Shareholders that are South African residents or emigrants from the Common Monetary Area to South Africa are urged to seek further professional advice in regard to the purchase of Shares. Note that a person’s exchange control residence status does not necessarily match their residence status for tax purposes.

Exchange controls are imposed on South African residents in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations. FinSurv is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Exchange Control Regulations. In the exercise of the Exchange Control Regulations, FinSurv has a wide discretion subject to a set of norms and to the policy guidelines laid down by the Minister of Finance, Director General National Treasury, and the South African Reserve Bank. From time to time, FinSurv issues “rulings” and circulars to provide further guidance regarding the implementation of the Exchange Control Regulations. In this document, the Exchange Control Regulations, Currency and Exchanges Manual for Authorised Dealers and circulars issued by FinSurv are collectively referred to as “Excon Rules”.

The Excon Rules provide for restrictions on exporting capital and assets from the Common Monetary Area. Transactions between residents (and corporations) of the Common Monetary Area, and persons whose normal place of residence, domicile or registration is outside of the Common Monetary Area (non-residents) are subject to these Excon Rules. The purpose of exchange controls is to mitigate the decline of foreign capital reserves in South Africa.

Authorised Dealers are required to assist FinSurv in administering the Excon Rules. All applications for approval to enter into a cross-border transaction are required to be made to FinSurv through an Authorised Dealer. The Currency and Exchanges Manual for Authorised Dealers sets out the conditions, permissions and limits applicable to the transaction in foreign currency which may be undertaken by Authorised Dealers, as well as details of related administrative responsibilities.

PowerFleet expects that South African exchange controls will continue to operate in the foreseeable future. The Government of South Africa has, however, committed itself to relaxing exchange controls gradually and significant relaxation has occurred in recent years.

Approval for the Transaction has been obtained from the FinSurv, which approval extends to the PowerFleet Listing, with such shares being classified as “domestic” for exchange control purposes.

The following conditions are applicable to the inward listing of the PowerFleet Shares:

(a) South African investors are required to hold their inward listed shares on a South African exchange and such shares may not be moved to an offshore exchange unless specific prior approval is obtained from FinSurv;

(b) as an exception to (a) above, private individuals may, as part of their single discretionary allowance and/or foreign capital allowance, export multi-listed domestic securities (including inward listed shares) to a foreign securities register in a jurisdiction where such securities are listed, subject to tax compliance and reporting to FinSurv via a Central Securities Depository Participant, in conjunction with an Authorised Dealer.

(c) the trade and settlement of inward listed shares may only take place at market related prices and in Rand terms, where applicable;

(d) in the event of a capital reduction/share buyback transaction or the delisting of an inward listed company from a South African exchange, all South African shareholders must be paid in Rand in South Africa. A notification to this effect must be submitted FinSurv for record purposes;

(e) South African investors may exercise their rights in terms of a rights offer without restriction; and

(f) the inward listing of any additional instruments will require the specific prior approval of FinSurv, e.g. the utilisation of shares as acquisition currency in the purchase of CMA assets; any capital raising exercise by means of a new issue; rights offer; the issue of new shares in lieu of a cash dividend.

Currency and shares are not freely transferable from South Africa to any jurisdiction outside of the Common Monetary Area. These transfers must comply with the Excon Rules.

139

SOUTH AFRICAN RESIDENTS

South African corporates, trusts, partnerships and private individuals may invest in the JSE listed PowerFleet Shares without restriction. South African institutional investors and Authorised Dealers are allowed to invest in the JSE listed PowerFleet Shares without affecting respectively their permissible foreign portfolio investment allowance or their macroprudential limit.

South African brokers are allowed to purchase PowerFleet Shares offshore and to transfer such shares to the South African section of the register as a book-building exercise, provided that brokers warehouse such shares for a maximum period of 30 (thirty) days only.

Residents in the Common Monetary Area with the exception for individuals noted above or offshore subsidiaries of a resident in the Common Monetary Area may not subscribe for or purchase any Shares registered on the US branch register, beneficially own or hold any Shares registered on the US branch register, or transfer any Shares from the South African section of the register to the US branch register unless specific approval has been obtained from FinSurv by such persons for such subscription, transfer, purchase or beneficial holding or ownership or as is otherwise permitted under the Excon Rules.

NON-RESIDENTS OF THE COMMON MONETARY AREA

Non-Residents of the Common Monetary Area may subscribe for PowerFleet Shares listed on the JSE or acquire PowerFleet Shares listed on the JSE, provided that payment is received from a non-resident account.

All payments in respect of subscriptions for or purchases of PowerFleet Shares listed on the JSE by Non-Residents must be made through an Authorised Dealer. Such Non-Residents should seek advice as to whether any governmental and/ or other legal consent is required and/or whether any other formality must be observed to subscribe for or purchase PowerFleet Shares.

Any share certificates issued for PowerFleet Shares listed on the JSE to non-resident shareholders will be endorsed ‘Non-Resident’ in accordance with the Excon Rules. Uncertificated holders of PowerFleet Shares listed and trading on the JSE will have their statements endorsed ‘Non-Resident’ and their accounts at their CSDP or Broker annotated accordingly.

Cash dividends and any proceeds from the sale of PowerFleet Shares listed on the JSE by non-resident shareholders may be freely transferred out of South Africa, subject to being converted into a currency other than Rand or paid for the credit of a non-resident Rand account.

PowerFleet Shares of emigrants which are controlled in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations, will be forwarded to the Authorised Dealer controlling their remaining assets and such share certificates will be endorsed ‘Non-Resident’. PowerFleet Shares held by emigrants via a CSDP must be held to the order of the Authorised Dealer which controls their remaining assets, will have their statements endorsed ‘Non-Resident’ and their accounts at their CSDP or Broker annotated accordingly.

Non-Residents may freely transfer PowerFleet Shares between the South African section of the register and the U.S. branch register.

ANNEXURE 16

SOUTH AFRICAN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION

The following summary relating to the South African tax position pursuant to the implementation of the Scheme is based on the laws and practice in force in South Africa as at the last practicable date. This summary is only intended to be a brief and general guide dealing with the main tax consequences of the implementation of the Scheme for Scheme Participants. It is not intended to provide specific advice and no action should be taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon it. MiX Telematics, PowerFleet and their advisors cannot be held responsible for the tax consequences that the Scheme may have on individual Scheme Participants and therefore Scheme Participants are advised to seek their own professional tax advice in respect of the Scheme.

Scheme Participants should also confirm how the general comments outlined below apply to their specific personal circumstances and to ascertain whether there are any additional or exception tax consequences which should apply.

SOUTH AFRICAN TAX RESIDENTS

Scheme Participants are required to obtain their own tax advice in calculating the base cost (or tax cost) relating to the Scheme Shares as the information below is intended to serve merely as a guideline.

The base cost of any Scheme Share is determined under paragraph 20 of the Eighth Schedule of the Income Tax Act and is generally regarded as the expenditure actually incurred in the acquisition of the Scheme Shares. This base cost can be increased by the securities transfer tax on original acquisition, as well as the fees of accountants, brokers or legal advisors related to the acquisition or disposal of the Scheme Shares.

Scheme Participants that are tax resident of South Africa will be treated as having disposed of their Scheme Shares for proceeds equal to the Scheme Consideration received. The provisions of section 42 of the Income Tax Act will not apply to the Scheme, given the fact that PowerFleet is not tax resident in South Africa.

Taxable capital gains or losses should be calculated by deducting the amount of the base cost of the Scheme Shares disposed of to PowerFleet from the Scheme Consideration received.

Scheme Participants holding their Scheme Shares as capital assets will be liable for South African capital gains tax at a marginal rate up to a maximum of 18% for individuals and special trusts, 21.6% for companies and 36% for trusts. Where a Scheme Participant is a natural person or special trust, the taxation of any capital gain in their hands will be subject to the annual exclusion from capital gains tax, which is currently R40,000.

Similarly, Scheme Participants holding Scheme Shares on revenue account that are liable to South African income tax will be liable to normal tax on the gain at the applicable marginal rate for individuals and trusts (on a scale from 18% to 45%) and a rate of 27% for corporate entities.

NON-RESIDENT SHAREHOLDERS

Scheme Participants that are not tax resident in South Africa will generally not be subject to income tax (including capital gains tax) in South Africa pursuant to the sale of the Scheme Shares to PowerFleet. More specifically, non-resident taxpayers holding their Scheme Shares on revenue account are only taxed on proceeds that are sourced in South Africa. Non-resident taxpayers holding their Scheme Shares on capital account are, in turn, only subject to capital gains tax when the holding of the Scheme Shares is effectively connected with a permanent establishment of the non-resident Scheme Participant that is situated in South Africa, or when the non-resident Scheme Participant holds at least 20% of the Scheme Shares and at least 80% of MiX Telematics’ market value consists of immovable property situated in South Africa held on capital account (which is not the case).
