| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 28, 2024, Inseego Corp. (“Inseego” or the “Company”) entered into a series of agreements, as part of its overall capital structure management to reduce its total debt and restructure its outstanding 3.25% convertible notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). As part of this initiative, pursuant to the agreements summarized below, the Company executed three transactions that, together, involved the three largest noteholders and approximately $125 million face value or 80% of the 2025 Notes, as follows: (1) Convertible Debt Repurchase: the Company agreed to purchase for cash, all of the $45.9 million in face value of the 2025 Notes held by certain entities managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (such entities, “Highbridge”), the second largest noteholder, at a discount of 30% to face value; (2) Repurchase Loan: to finance a portion of the Convertible Debt Repurchase, the Company entered into a $19.5 million loan from (i) South Ocean Funding, LLC (“South Ocean”), which is an affiliate of Golden Harbor Ltd. (“Golden Harbor”) and Tavistock Financial, LLC, and (ii) certain participant lenders (the “Participating Lenders”); and (3) Convertible Debt Exchange: the Company entered into binding term sheets to exchange $80 million of face value that represents all of the 2025 Notes held by North Sound Partners and Golden Harbor Ltd. (the “Noteholders”), the largest and third-largest bondholders, respectively, for the same 30% discount as the Highbridge Notes purchase, for a combination of new long-term debt and equity.
Convertible Debt Repurchase Agreement
On June 28, 2024, pursuant to privately-negotiated repurchase agreements (the “Repurchase Agreements”) with Highbridge, Inseego agreed to repurchase an aggregate of approximately $45.9 million in principal amount of 2025 Notes held by Highbridge (the “Highbridge Notes”), representing all of Highbridge’s holdings of 2025 Notes, for $32.1 million in cash, or $700 per $1,000 face value bond, plus accrued interest. This purchase transaction is expected to close on or about July 1, 2024.
The foregoing description of the Repurchase Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Repurchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Loan Agreement
Also on June 28, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), among South Ocean, as lender (“Lender”), the Participating Lenders, the Company, as borrower, and Inseego Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Inseego Wireless”), and Inseego North America LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“Inseego North America”), as guarantors. The Loan Agreement establishes a senior secured $19.5 million loan facility (the “Loan”) under which the Company borrowed the $19.5 million on June 28, 2024 to partially fund the Company’s repurchase of the Highbridge Notes.
The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by two of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Inseego Wireless and Inseego North America (collectively, the “Guarantors”, and together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”). Subject to the requirements of the Loan Agreement, certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries may become guarantors and Loan Parties of the Loan Agreement after closing. The Loan Parties’ obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in substantially all property of each Loan Party, subject to certain Excluded Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
The Loan matures on September 30, 2024, provided that the Company may request an extension of the maturity date of up to six months, to March 31, 2025, which the Lender and each Participating Lender may grant or deny with respect to each of their respective portions of the Loan. Borrowings under the Loan will bear interest at 12.0% per annum. Upon any repayment or prepayment of the amounts borrowed under the Loan (including at maturity), the Company will be required to pay an exit fee equal to 4.0% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid or repaid.
The Loan Agreement contains certain customary covenants, which include, but are not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, restricted payments, asset sales, and investments, and places limits on various other payments. The Loan Agreement contains certain customary provisions with respect to the definition of, and remedies with respect to, events of default.
Also on June 28, 2024, as part of the Loan Agreement, the Participating Lenders contributed an aggregate of $3.0 million of participation interests in the Loan Agreement (the “Participation Interests”). The Participating Lenders consist of Philip Brace, the Company’s Executive Chairman, who acquired a $1.0 million Participation Interest, and North Sound Ventures, LP, which acquired a $2.0 million Participation Interest in the $19.5 million Loan.
In connection with entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company paid an arrangement and administration fee of $150,000 to the Lender.
In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender and the Participating Lenders warrants (the “Loan Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”). The Loan Warrants have an exercise price of $12.12 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. The Loan Warrants will expire four years from the date of issuance, are exercisable on a cash basis, and contain customary registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Loan Warrants.
As of the date hereof, affiliates of each of Lender and North Sound Ventures, LP may be deemed to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. 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.
The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement and the Form of Warrant Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively.
Convertible Debt Exchange Term Sheets
Also as part of the Company’s debt reduction and 2025 Notes restructuring transactions executed on June 28, 2024, the Company entered into separate binding Exchange Term Sheets with respect to privately-negotiated exchanges (each, an “Exchange Agreement”) of $80 million face value of the 2025 Notes held by the Noteholders for a combination of long-term debt and equity. Pursuant to each respective Exchange Agreement, each of the Noteholders has agreed to exchange the 2025 Notes that they currently hold at the same discounted price of $700 per $1,000 face value as the Highbridge Notes were purchased, for an aggregate of (i) approximately 2.4 million shares of Common Stock, (ii) $31.8 million in principal amount of new long-term senior secured notes (the “New Notes”), and (iii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1.5 million shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Warrants”) to be issued in concurrent private placement transactions (the “Exchange Transactions”). The Exchange Agreements expire on December 31, 2024, and it is anticipated that the Exchange Transactions will be consummated by that time.
The New Notes to be issued in the Exchange Transactions will bear interest at 9.0% per annum, be paid in cash, in arrears, and on a semi-annual basis, and will have a maturity date of May 1, 2029. The New Notes will be secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of Company’s assets. The documentation of the New Notes will consist of (i) an indenture (the “New Notes Indenture”), (ii) the form of New Notes, (iii) a pledge and security agreement, and (iv) such other documents that may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Exchange Transactions. The New Notes Indenture will include the same covenants as those contained in the indenture for the 2025 Notes plus standard covenants relating to collateral.
The Exchange Warrants will have an exercise price of $12.12 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. The Exchange Warrants will expire four years from the date of issuance and will be exercisable on a cash basis.
In connection with the Exchange Transactions, the Company has agreed to grant customary registration rights to the Noteholders, pursuant to which the Company will agree to file a registration statement with the Commission, within six months following the closing date of the Exchange Transactions, in order to effect a registration for the resale by the Noteholders of the shares of Common Stock issuable in the Exchange Transactions, and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Exchange Warrants.
As of the date hereof, affiliates of each of Golden Harbor Ltd. and North Sound Partners may be deemed to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. James B. Avery, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, currently serves as Senior Managing Director of Tavistock Group, an affiliate of Golden Harbor Ltd.
Consummation of the Exchange Transactions is subject to, among other things, the drafting, execution and delivery of one or more final agreements reflecting the terms contained in the Exchange Agreements and other customary and mutually acceptable terms and conditions, which agreements the Company and the Noteholders have agreed to negotiate in good faith. There can be no assurance that the Exchange Transactions will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Exchange Agreements, or at all.
The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively.
