Sales to Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile collectively accounted for 59% and 67% of our consolidated net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenues from T-Mobile generated through our wireless subscriber management solution (Inseego Subscribe) makes up a significant portion of our Services and other revenue. While we have accelerated our engagements with prospective new customers and continue to focus on growing revenue in other parts of our business, we expect that Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile will continue to account for a substantial portion of our net revenues, and any impairment of our relationship or reduction in our services with Verizon Wireless or T-Mobile would adversely affect our business and financial position. Additionally, any change in the forecasted or actual product sell-through of Verizon Wireless or T-Mobile could have a detrimental impact on our revenue, bottom line and cash position.

Previous wording

A part of our growth strategy is to sell additional new features and solutions to our existing customers. Our ability to sell new features to customers will depend in significant part on our ability to anticipate industry evolution, practices and standards and to continue to enhance existing solutions or introduce or acquire new solutions on a timely basis to keep pace with technological developments both within our industry and in related industries, and to remain compliant with any regulations mandated by federal agencies or state-mandated or foreign government regulations as they pertain to our customers. However, we may prove unsuccessful either in developing new features or in expanding the third-party software and products with which our solutions integrate. In addition, the success of any enhancement or new feature depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of the enhancement or feature. Any new solutions we develop or acquire might not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner and might not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. If any of our competitors implement new technologies before we are able to implement them or better anticipate the innovation and integration opportunities in related industries, those competitors may be able to provide more effective or cheaper solutions than ours.

Previous wording

We generally seek to license our software and enterprise solutions pursuant to customer agreements with multi-year terms and subscriptions. However, our customers have no obligation to renew these agreements after their initial terms expire. We also actively seek to sell additional solutions to our existing customers. If our efforts to satisfy our existing customers are not successful, we may not be able to retain them or sell additional functionality to them and, as a result, our revenue and ability to grow could be adversely affected. Customers may choose not to renew their subscriptions for many reasons, including the belief that our service is not required for their business needs or is otherwise not cost-effective, a desire to reduce discretionary spending, or a belief that our competitors’ services provide better value. Additionally, our customers may not renew for reasons entirely out of our control, such as the dissolution of their business or an economic downturn in their industry. A significant increase in our churn rate would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

A key part of our business strategy is to increase customer adoption of our software, including Inseego Connect and SD EDGE. If the markets relating to network software solutions do not develop as we anticipate, or if we are unable to commercialize, increase market awareness and gain adoption of our software and services within those markets, revenue from our software may not grow. We have a limited history in commercializing and selling these software solutions and we continue to build out the capability of our software portfolio. Moreover, the market and competitive landscape for these solutions is dynamic, and it is difficult to predict important trends, including the potential growth, if any, of this market. If the market for these software solutions does not evolve in the way we anticipate or if customers do not adopt our software, a part of our strategy for growth would be adversely affected and our financial results may suffer.

Regulatory restrictions could impair our access to technologies needed to improve our solutions and may also limit or reduce the demand for our solutions outside of the United States.

Previous wording

Our debt service requirements are significant, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt.

Current wording

Our debt service requirements are significant, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our debt.

Previous wording

Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance our indebtedness, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and other fixed charges, fund working capital needs and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, refinancing or restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or dilutive. Our ability to refinance or restructure our indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on favorable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. Any default under such indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Current wording

Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance our indebtedness, depends on our cash balances on hand and our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in the future and along with cash balances may not be sufficient to service our debt and other fixed charges, fund working capital needs and make necessary capital expenditures. If we do not have adequate cash or are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, refinancing or restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or dilutive. Our ability to refinance or restructure our indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on favorable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.

Current wording

We are required to comply with certain covenants under the terms of our 2029 Senior Secured Notes and, if we fail to meet those covenants or otherwise suffer a default thereunder, our lenders may accelerate the payment of such obligations.

Previous wording

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, restrictions and events of default. Among other things, these provisions require us to maintain a certain level of consolidated liquidity and impose certain limits on our ability to engage in certain activities. The restrictions in the Credit Agreement impose operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to compete effectively, take advantage of new business opportunities or take other actions that may be in our, or our shareholders’, best interests. Further, various risks and uncertainties may impact our ability to comply with our obligations under the Credit Agreement. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in all property (other than certain excluded collateral) of the Company and each of the borrower parties.

Current wording

The Indenture that sets forth the terms of the 2029 Senior Secured Notes (the “2029 Senior Secured Notes Indenture”) contains various covenants which put certain restrictions on our ability to incur liens, sell or transfer assets, incur other indebtedness, pay dividends, make investments, enter into transactions with affiliates, make other distributions or payments on account of any redemption, retirement or purchase of any capital stock or pay certain other indebtedness. The restrictions in the 2029 Senior Secured Notes Indenture impose operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to compete effectively, take advantage of new business opportunities or take other actions that may be in our, or our stockholders’, best interests. Further, various risks and uncertainties may impact our ability to comply with our obligations under the 2029 Senior Secured Notes Indenture. Our obligations under the 2029 Senior Secured Notes are secured by a continuing security interest in all property (other than certain excluded collateral) of the Company and each of the borrower parties.

Previous wording

Our inability to comply with any of the provisions of the Credit Agreement could result in a default under it. If such a default occurs, the lender may elect to (a) terminate all or any portion of its commitments without prior notice, (b) demand payment in full of all or any portion of our obligations under the Credit Facility, along with an early payment/termination premium, and (c) demand that the letters of credit be cash collateralized and/or foreclose on our assets. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Current wording

Our products and solutions enable us to collect, manage and store a wide range of data related to vehicle tracking and fleet management such as vehicle location and fuel usage, speed and mileage. Some of the data we collect or use in our business is subject to data privacy laws, which are complex and increase our cost of doing business. The U.S. federal government and various state governments have adopted or proposed limitations on the collection, distribution and use of personal information. Many foreign jurisdictions, including the European Union and the United Kingdom, have adopted legislation (including directives or regulations) that increase or change the requirements governing data collection and storage in these jurisdictions. In addition, the California Consumer Privacy Act, which took effect on January 1, 2020, provides new data privacy rights for California consumers, including the right to know what personal information is being collected about them and how it is being used. We market our products in over 50 countries, and accordingly, we are subject to many different, and potentially conflicting, privacy laws. If our privacy or data security measures fail to comply, or are perceived to fail to comply, with current or future laws and regulations, we may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations or other liabilities.

The United States and various state governments have adopted or proposed limitations on the collection, distribution and use of personal data, as well as requirements that must be followed if a breach of such personal data occurs. The European Union and the United Kingdom have adopted legislation (including directives, national laws and regulations) that increase or change the requirements governing data collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal data in these jurisdictions. The current European Union legislation related to data protection is the GDPR, which came into effect on May 25, 2018. We have updated and will continue to evaluate our group data protection and security policies, charters, and procedures to assist in maintaining data privacy and data security in line with international practices.

Previous wording

There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and various other countries, most significantly China, with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs and taxes. The current and former U.S. administrations have called for substantial changes to U.S. foreign trade policy with respect to China and other countries, including significant new and increased tariffs on goods imported into the United States. In 2018, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (the “USTR”) enacted tariffs on imports into the U.S. from China, including communications equipment products and components manufactured and imported from China. The tariff became effective in September 2018, with an initial rate of 10% that increased to 25% in May 2019. The current U.S. administration has kept the tariffs in place, however trade negotiations between the U.S. and China continue and there is a possibility that certain product exclusions from the tariffs may be reinstated at some point in the future. Our business may also be affected by tariffs set by countries into which we sell our products, whether as a response to U.S. foreign trade policy or otherwise. In addition, changes in international trade agreements, regulations, restrictions and tariffs, including new tariffs, may increase our operating costs, reduce our margins and make it more difficult for us to compete in the U.S. and overseas markets, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Previous wording

We have taken actions to mitigate the impact of such tariffs, however, there is no assurance that all such efforts will be successful. These actions include moving our contract manufacturing out of mainland China and working directly with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to address the harmonized tariff codes used for our products. The majority of our move out of mainland China has been completed in prior years. The inability to mitigate the impact of the recently enacted tariffs, including the inability to obtain favorable results from our efforts with CBP, or any similar future increases in tariffs would increase our costs, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

•Future settlements of any conversion obligations with respect to the 2025 Notes may result in dilution to existing stockholders, lower prevailing market prices for our common stock or require a significant cash outlay.

Current wording

Future issuances of common stock upon exercise of our outstanding warrants or pursuant to employee equity awards, or settlements of any conversion obligations with respect to the 2025 Convertible Notes, may result in dilution to existing stockholders, lower prevailing market prices for our common stock or require a significant cash outlay.

Previous wording

The 2025 Notes are currently convertible at the option of the holders at any time until close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The 2025 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 7.92896 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $126.12 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur, but in no event will the conversion rate exceed 9.51474 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of $105.10 per share of common stock). Holders of the 2025 Notes who convert may also be entitled to receive, under certain circumstances, an interest make-whole payment payable in, at our election, either cash or shares of common stock. If holders of the 2025 Notes elect to convert their 2025 Notes into common stock, we elect to settle any interest make-whole payments due upon conversion of the 2025 Notes with shares of common stock, or we issue shares of common stock in connection with a future refinancing of the 2025 Notes, this may cause significant dilution to our existing stockholders. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issued upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. If we do elect to settle any interest make-whole payments due upon conversion of the 2025 Notes with cash, such payments could adversely affect our liquidity.

Current wording

The 2025 Convertible Notes are currently convertible at the option of the holders at any time until close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The 2025 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 7.92896 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $126.12 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur, but in no event will the conversion rate exceed 9.51474 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of $105.10 per share of common stock). Holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes who convert may also be entitled to receive, under certain circumstances, an interest make-whole payment payable in, at our election, either cash or shares of common stock. If holders of our outstanding warrants exercise their warrants or holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes elect to convert their 2025 Convertible Notes into common stock, we elect to settle any interest make-whole payments due upon conversion of the 2025 Convertible Notes with shares of common stock, we issue shares of common stock in connection with a future refinancing of the 2025 Convertible Notes and/or we issue shares upon vesting of outstanding equity awards, this may cause significant dilution to our existing stockholders. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issued upon such exercises or conversions could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. If we do elect to settle any interest make-whole payments due upon conversion of the 2025 Convertible Notes with cash, such payments could adversely affect our liquidity.

Previous wording

Certain provisions in the indenture governing the 2025 Notes (as amended or supplemented, the “Indenture”) could make it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire us and could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover or takeover attempt. For example, if a takeover would constitute a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the 2025 Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase their notes in cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change, we may be required to increase the conversion rate for holders who convert their 2025 Notes in connection with such takeover. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the 2025 Notes and the related Indenture could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us.

Current wording

Certain provisions in the 2029 Senior Secured Notes Indenture and or in the Indenture could make it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire us and could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover or takeover attempt.

As a result, our obligations under the 2029 Senior Secured Notes and/or the 2025 Convertible Notes and the related indentures could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us.
