Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 28, 2021, PowerFleet, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue sell to the Underwriters 3,850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), plus up to 577,500 shares of Common Stock pursuant to an option to purchase additional shares (together, the “Shares”), at a price to the public of $6.50 per share (the “Offering”). The Underwriters exercised their option to purchase additional shares in full on January 28, 2021. The Offering closed on February 1, 2021. Gross proceeds from the Offering of 4,427,500 Shares were approximately $28.8 million, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated Offering expenses. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company paid underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.39 per share (for a price to the Underwriters of $6.11 per share). After the closing of the Offering, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding was 35,519,285.
Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
In addition, in connection with the Offering, the Company’s directors and officers entered into a customary 90-day lock-up agreement with the Underwriters.

The Offering is being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated January 28, 2021 and an accompanying prospectus dated November 27, 2019, pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and declared effective on November 27, 2019.
The legal opinion of Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares in the Offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Shares, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
