Inseego Continues Debt Reduction and Capital Structure Improvements

Company pays-down $9.5 million, or 49%, of short-term loan to further reduce debt and improve Balance Sheet; Company also signs agreement to exchange additional $5 million of Convertible Notes into long-term debt and equity

Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG) (the “Company” or “Inseego”), a technology leader in 5G mobile and fixed wireless solutions for mobile network operators, Fortune 500 enterprises, and SMBs, is continuing to improve its capital structure and reduce its total debt. Today, Inseego announced that it has (i) voluntarily paid-down an aggregate of $9.5 million, or approximately 49%, of the Company’s outstanding short-term loan, and (ii) entered into a binding agreement (the “Exchange Term Sheet”) with another holder of $5 million in principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 3.25% convertible notes due 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”) to exchange the 2025 Convertible Notes into long-term debt and equity.

“We’re executing on our commitment to reduce our total debt and improve our capital structure,” said Inseego Chief Financial Officer, Steven Gatoff. “The business is generating strong cash flow and with the improved liquidity, we’re glad to be able to pay down total debt. The Company continues to engage with convertible bondholders and right-size the capital structure through these exchanges.”

The Company has also voluntarily prepaid, at no premium, an aggregate of $9.5 million to-date of the Company’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated June 28, 2024 (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Company, South Ocean Funding, LLC (“South Ocean,” an affiliate of Tavistock Group), certain participant lenders (the “Participating Lenders”) and certain subsidiaries of the Company. As a result of these repayments, the amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement has been reduced to $10 million.

Pursuant to the Exchange Term Sheet, the convertible note holder agreed to exchange its 2025 Convertible Notes for (i) $4.25 million in principal amount of new long-term senior secured notes (the “New Notes”), and (ii) warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 370,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The New Notes and the Exchange Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Term Sheet will be the same as the new long-term senior secured notes and warrants, respectively, to be issued pursuant to the separate binding exchange term sheets previously entered into between the Company and certain other holders of 2025 Convertible Notes, as described in the current report filed by the Company on July 1, 2024, except that the exercise price of the Exchange Warrants will be $13.77. The Exchange Term Sheet expires on December 31, 2024, and it is anticipated that the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Term Sheet will be consummated by that time.

To date, the Company has repurchased or entered into binding agreements to repurchase and/or exchange approximately $147 million, or 91%, of face value of the outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes. As a result, the remaining balance of the 2025 Convertible Notes that are not subject to an exchange agreement is approximately $14.9 million, which the Company expects to repay or refinance by May 2025.

As previously disclosed, affiliates of South Ocean and North Sound Ventures, LP, one of the Participating Lenders, may be deemed to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, and Philip Brace, the Company’s Executive Chairman, is the other Participating Lender. James B. Avery, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, currently serves as Senior Managing Director of Tavistock Group, an affiliate of Lender.
