Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 1, 2016 (the Merger Agreement), by and among CalAmp Corp., a Delaware corporation (CalAmp), LoJack Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (LoJack), and Lexus Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CalAmp (Purchaser), on March 18, 2016, CalAmp completed its acquisition of LoJack. The transaction was consummated through a tender offer (the Offer) by Purchaser for all of LoJacks outstanding shares of common stock (the Shares), at a purchase price per Share of $6.45, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the Offer Price), followed by the short-form merger of Purchaser with and into LoJack (the Merger) pursuant to Section 11.05 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (the MBCA), with LoJack surviving as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CalAmp. As a result of the Merger, each share of LoJack common stock (other than shares held by CalAmp or Purchaser) that was not validly tendered in the Offer was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the same $6.45 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the Merger Consideration), that was paid to tendering stockholders in the Offer.
On March 15, 2016 (the Acceptance Date), Purchaser accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer (the Depositary), advised Purchaser that a total of 14,925,959 Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the initial offering period (the Initial Offer) (excluding 75,907 shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that had not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantees as of the expiration of the Initial Offer). Such Shares, when combined with the 850,100 Shares then owned by Purchaser, represented approximately 80.2% of the outstanding Shares on a fully-diluted basis as of the expiration date of the Initial Offer.
Purchaser commenced a subsequent offering period (the Subsequent Offering Period) on March 15, 2016 for all remaining untendered Shares. The Subsequent Offering Period expired at 12:00 midnight (Eastern time) on Thursday, March 17, 2016 (one minute after 11:59 P.M., Eastern time, on Thursday, March 17, 2016). The Depositary advised Purchaser that a total of 1,150,486 Shares were validly tendered in the Subsequent Offering Period (excluding 4,120 shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that had not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantees), representing 5.8% of the outstanding Shares on a fully-diluted basis. Such Shares, when combined with the 850,100 Shares then owned by Purchaser, including the Shares tendered in the Initial Offer, represented approximately 86.4% of the outstanding Shares on a fully-diluted basis as of the expiration date of the Subsequent Offering Period.
The aggregate consideration paid by Parent and Purchaser for the Shares tendered in the Initial Offer and Subsequent Offering Period was approximately $121,411,768.50 in cash.
In the Merger Agreement, LoJack granted Purchaser an irrevocable option (the Top-Up Option), exercisable within one business day following the expiration of a Subsequent Offering Period, to purchase from LoJack, with certain limitations, the number of shares of LoJack common stock necessary for Purchaser to complete a short-form merger with LoJack. On March 18, 2016, Purchaser exercised the Top-Up Option in accordance with the Merger Agreement following expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, and purchased newly issued Shares directly from LoJack in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Purchaser purchased 7,079,351 newly issued Shares at a price of $6.45 per Share in cash. As a result of its exercise of the Top-Up Option, Purchaser owned at least 90% of the outstanding Shares.
On March 18, 2016, CalAmp completed its acquisition of LoJack by effecting the Merger pursuant to Section 11.05 of the MBCA between Purchaser and LoJack, with LoJack as the surviving corporation and, as a result, LoJack became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CalAmp. As a result of the Merger, any Shares not validly tendered in the Offer (other than Shares held by CalAmp or Purchaser) were cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to CalAmps Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 1, 2016, and is incorporated herein by reference.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CalAmp Announces
Completion of Acquisition of LoJack;
Provides Business Update
Issues Preliminary FY16
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results, as well as FY17 First Quarter
Outlook;
Comments on Recent Jury Verdict Related to Patent Infringement Lawsuit
OXNARD, CA, March 21, 2016 -- CalAmp (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today announced completion of its acquisition of LoJack Corporation and provided a business update on its operations and financial outlook.
Completion of Acquisition of LoJack Corporation
On March 18, 2016, CalAmp completed its previously-announced acquisition of LoJack Corporation (LoJack) by effecting a short-form merger between its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lexus Acquisition Sub, Inc., and LoJack, with LoJack surviving the merger. As a result of the merger, LoJack became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CalAmp.
Business Update
Preliminary FY16
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results
The Company expects to report consolidated
revenues in its fiscal fourth quarter ended February 29, 2016 of approximately
$71 million, versus its previously announced guidance range of $73 to $78
million for the quarter. The Company also expects to report record Adjusted
Basis Net Income of approximately $0.32 per diluted share for the fourth
quarter, which despite lower than expected revenues is at the high-end of the
previously announced guidance range due to a favorable change in product mix.
The Company also expects to report records for consolidated gross profit margin,
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the fiscal fourth quarter. For
the fiscal 2016 full year, CalAmp expects to report record consolidated revenue
of approximately $281 million, up 12% year over year, with Wireless DataCom
revenue up just over 13%, and record Adjusted Basis Net Income of $1.15 per
diluted share, up 20% year over year.
Michael Burdiek, CalAmp's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, Fiscal 2016 fourth quarter revenue was lower than expected, primarily due to MRM product supply constraints and the slow responsiveness of a supply chain partner following the Chinese New Year. This situation was exacerbated by irregular order flow for MRM products following the year-end holidays. These factors prevented us from fulfilling approximately $3.5 million in product orders in the quarter. We expect to fulfill the majority of this past due backlog in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Omega Patent
Infringement Lawsuit
CalAmp also announced today that it will file post-trial motions seeking
to invalidate asserted patents and if necessary pursue an appeal seeking to
overturn a jury verdict in a patent infringement lawsuit brought in 2013 by
Omega Patents, LLC (Omega), a non-practicing entity, also known as a
patent-assertion entity.
On February 24, 2016, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida awarded Omega damages of $2.9 million, for which CalAmp recorded a full reserve in the fiscal 2016 fourth quarter. Omega is seeking enhanced damages and has requested the court to exercise its discretion to treble damages and assess attorneys fees. The Companys responsive motion is pending, and the judges ruling has not yet been rendered. Nonetheless, management believes that the Company did not, and does not, infringe Omegas patents. In addition to its appeal, CalAmp is seeking to invalidate a number of Omegas patents in actions filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Mr. Burdiek said, We are disappointed in and respectfully disagree with the jurys decision, and plan to appeal this verdict to vindicate our position. We continue to believe that our technology does not infringe Omegas patents, and that those patents will ultimately be invalidated through reexamination at the USPTO.
Preliminary FY17
First Quarter Outlook
CalAmp is also providing its preliminary outlook for the fiscal 2017
first quarter that includes approximately ten weeks of operations in the quarter
of LoJack Corporation, which was acquired by CalAmp effective March 18, 2016.
Consolidated revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 is expected to be in
the range of between $86 and $94 million, with Satellite segment revenues
expected to be down approximately $3 million sequentially. In addition, first
quarter revenue from the Companys key heavy equipment OEM customer is expected
to settle into a normalized quarterly run rate in the range of between $7 to $8
million, down somewhat from an exceptionally strong fiscal 2016 fourth
quarter.
Mr. Burdiek said, Looking at our fiscal 2017 first quarter, we are excited to move forward as a larger, more diverse enterprise with significant financial and technological resources. By uniting CalAmps leading portfolio of connectivity devices, software and services with LoJacks world renowned brand, targeted channels and distribution capabilities, we have created an industry pioneer poised for long-term growth. As a combined company, we are well positioned to deliver innovative, next generation connected vehicle telematics technologies and accelerate customer adoption in these large and fast growing markets.
The preliminary financial information provided in this press release is based on managements initial review of operations for the fiscal 2016 fourth quarter and is subject to the normal quarter-and year-end accounting review, any additional reserve that may be required for the Omega patent case, and completion of the audit of the fiscal 2016 consolidated financial statements by the Companys independent public accounting firm. The Company expects to announce final fiscal 2016 fourth quarter and full-year results in its regularly scheduled press release and conference call on April 19, 2016, at which time it will provide further comments on the quarter and outlook. Details for the call will be announced shortly.

Forward-Looking
Statements
Statements in this

forward-looking statements in this press release address a variety of subjects,
including the preliminary operating results for our fiscal 2016 fourth quarter
and our outlook for the fiscal 2017 first quarter. Readers are cautioned that
actual results could differ materially from those implied by such
forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including post-closing
adjustments or other changes to our preliminary results for the fiscal 2016
fourth quarter; the potential benefits of the acquisition of LoJack (including
the expected accretive, synergistic, and other financial benefits) not being
realized to the extent that management currently anticipates; the integration of
LoJack not occurring as anticipated; litigation related to the LoJack
acquisition; delays, disruptions or increased costs in the integration of

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
To supplement its
financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company uses the
following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted Basis Net Income per diluted
share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (collectively, non-GAAP
financial measures). We compute these non-GAAP financial measures by adjusting
the applicable GAAP measures to remove the impact of certain recurring and
non-recurring charges and gains and the tax effect of these adjustments. The
presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information
prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP
financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means
to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that they provide useful information about
operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial
performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with
respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational
decision making.

Adjusted Basis Net Income excludes the impact of intangibles amortization expense, stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense in the form of debt discount amortization, acquisition-related expenses, provisions for litigation-related settlements and awards and the non-operational equity in net loss of affiliate, and includes an income tax provision for cash taxes paid or payable for the period. The Companys Adjusted EBITDA metric represents earnings before investment income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, intangibles amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, provisions for litigation-related settlements and awards, and equity in net loss of affiliate. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is computed by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by consolidated revenues.
