• Accretive transaction and updated business outlook: The transaction is expected to be highly accretive to CalAmp's earnings in the first 12 months following consummation of the transaction. Based on the estimated timeframe for closing, CalAmp expects consolidated revenue to be in excess of $400 million for its fiscal year ending February 28, 2017, and for LoJack to contribute approximately $10 million in Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense and acquisition-related expenses) and $0.15 to $0.25 in Non-GAAP earnings per share to CalAmp's fiscal 2017 consolidated results.

Closing and Approvals
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CalAmp will commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of LoJack common stock for $6.45 per share of LoJack common stock tendered.

The transaction is expected to close during CalAmp's fiscal 2017 first quarter, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the tender of a number of LoJack shares that, together with other shares owned or to be acquired by CalAmp and its subsidiaries, represent at least two thirds of the total number of LoJack's outstanding shares.
