Item 8.01. Other Events

On July 16, 2018, CalAmp Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $200 million aggregate principal amount of new convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “notes”) solely to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase up to an additional $30 million aggregate principal amount of notes.

The press release also announced an upsizing of the Company’s existing share repurchase program by $9 million. After giving effect to the increase in the authorized repurchase amount, as of July 16, 2018, approximately $25 million remains for additional repurchases by the Company under the share repurchase program. This share repurchase program allows the Company to repurchase shares from time to time for cash in the open market, as market and business conditions warrant and subject to applicable legal requirements. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
