Our Company
We are a leader in the design and development of products and solutions that simplify the Internet of Things (“IoT”), delivering
innovative hardware and cloud-based, software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) services to carriers, distributors, retailers, original equipment manufacturers and vertical markets worldwide. Our SaaS delivery platforms include Ctrack
®
platforms, which provide asset, fleet, vehicle, and SaaS telematics, and the FW Crossroads platform, which provides easy IoT device management and service enablement. We sell our SaaS, software
and services solutions through our direct sales force and through distributors. Our products and solutions provide anywhere, anytime communications and analytics for consumers and businesses of all sizes, with approximately 590,000 global
subscribers, including 182,000 subscribers within the fleet management vertical of telematics.
On November 8, 2016, the Company completed
an internal reorganization (the “Reorganization”) in order to facilitate the previously announced sale of its MiFi business. To effect the Reorganization, Novatel Wireless contributed all of its assets, other than those assets relating to
the MiFi business, to its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Inseego. Following the contribution, Vanilla Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inseego, was merged with and into Novatel Wireless, with Novatel Wireless surviving as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Inseego. As a result of the Reorganization, each share of the common stock, par value $0.001, of Novatel Wireless (“Novatel Wireless Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reorganization
automatically converted into an equivalent corresponding share of Common Stock having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the corresponding share of Novatel Wireless Common
Stock being converted. Inseego began trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (as a successor issuer to Novatel Wireless) under the symbol “INSG” on November 9, 2016.

The
following is a summary of the transactions relating to the securities being registered hereunder:
Private Placement
In order to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes, on September 3, 2014, Novatel Wireless entered into a Purchase
Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with HC2 Holdings 2, Inc. (the “Initial Holder”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which, on September 8, 2014, Novatel Wireless sold to the Initial Holder (a) 7,363,334 shares of
Novatel Wireless Common Stock, (b) a warrant to purchase 4,117,647 shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.26 per share (the “2014 Warrant”) and (c) 87,196 shares of Novatel Wireless’s Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), all at a purchase price of (i) $1.75 per share of Novatel Wireless Common Stock plus, in each case, the related 2014 Warrant and (ii)
$17.50 per share of Series C Preferred Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14.4 million (collectively, the “Financing”). In connection with the Financing, Novatel Wireless entered into the Investors’
Rights Agreement pursuant to which Novatel Wireless granted to the Initial Holder certain observation rights and certain appointment and nomination rights related to the board of directors of Novatel Wireless (the “Novatel Wireless
Board”), as well as rights with respect to the registration of the shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock issued in the Financing and the shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock underlying the 2014 Warrant and the Series C Preferred
Stock.
On November 17, 2014, upon receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by the
Initial Holder were automatically converted into 871,960 shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock.
5
On March 26, 2015, the Initial Holder exercised the 2014 Warrant to
purchase 3,824,600 shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.26 per share for total proceeds to Novatel Wireless of $8.6 million.
On March 26, 2015, in order to induce the Initial Holder to exercise the 2014 Warrant for cash in connection with Novatel
Wireless’s acquisition of FW, Novatel Wireless issued to the Initial Holder the 2015 Warrant to purchase 1,593,583 shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share. The 2015 Warrant is exercisable during the
period commencing on September 26, 2015 and ending on March 26, 2020, the expiration date of the 2015 Warrant. The 2015 Warrant is subject to the terms of the Investors’ Rights Agreement and the shares underlying the 2015 Warrant
are Registrable Securities (as defined in the Investors’ Rights Agreement). The 2015 Warrant is generally only exercisable on a cash basis; provided, however, that the 2015 Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis if and only if a
registration statement relating to the issuance of the shares underlying the 2015 Warrant is not then effective or an exemption from registration is not available for the resale of such shares. The 2015 Warrant may be exercised by surrendering the
certificate evidencing the 2015 Warrant to be exercised with the accompanying exercise notice, appropriately completed, duly signed and delivered, together with cash payment of the exercise price, if applicable.
In December 2015, the Initial Holder transferred 4,941,176 shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock to United Teacher Associates Insurance
Company (“United Teachers”) and 2,823,529 shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock to Continental General Insurance Company (“Continental” and, together with the Initial Holder and United Teachers, the “Selling
Stockholders”). In March 2016, the Initial Holder transferred 3,397,094 shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock to United Teachers and 312,000 shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock to Continental. In connection with the Reorganization, these
shares of Novatel Wireless Common Stock automatically converted into shares of the Common Stock of Inseego. In addition, Inseego assumed all rights and obligations of Novatel Wireless pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement and the 2015
Warrant automatically became exercisable into shares of the Common Stock of Inseego.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase
Agreement, the 2014 Warrant, the 2015 Warrant and the Investors’ Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text such documents, the terms of which are incorporated
herein by reference.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in shares of our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described under
“Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, or any updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all of the other information appearing in or
incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, before deciding whether to purchase any of the Common Stock being offered. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially
adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of shares of our Common Stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
7
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will receive no proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. We may, however, receive cash proceeds equal to the
total exercise price of the 2015 Warrant to the extent that the 2015 Warrant is exercised for cash. The exercise price of the 2015 Warrant held by the Initial Holder is $5.50 per share of our Common Stock. The exercise price and the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2015 Warrant may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including stock splits, dividends, distributions or reclassifications, and mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges or other
similar transactions. The 2015 Warrant contains a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holders, under certain circumstances, to exercise the Warrant without making a cash payment to us. There can be no assurance that the 2015
Warrant will be exercised by the Initial Holder at all or that the 2015 Warrant will be exercised for cash rather than pursuant to the “cashless exercise” feature. To the extent we receive proceeds from the cash exercise of the 2015
Warrant, we intend to use such proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, supporting asset growth and engaging in acquisitions or other business combinations. Our management will retain broad discretion in the
allocation of the net proceeds from the exercise of the 2015 Warrant.
The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and
commissions and any similar expenses they incur in disposing of the Common Stock. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Common Stock covered by this prospectus. These may include, without
limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing fees, listing fees, fees and expenses incident to any required review by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., fees and expenses of our counsel and accountants and fees and expenses
of one counsel to the Initial Holder (not to exceed $20,000).

THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the resale by the Selling Stockholders named below, from time to time, of up to 13,067,382 shares of our
Common Stock issued or issuable to the Selling Stockholders, as described above under the heading “Prospectus Summary-Private Placement.”
We do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Stockholders may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares covered hereby. The Selling
Stockholders might not sell any or all of the shares covered by this prospectus or may sell or dispose of some or all of the shares other than pursuant to this prospectus. Because the Selling Stockholders may not sell or otherwise dispose of
some or all of the shares covered by this prospectus and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the shares, we cannot estimate the number of the shares that
will be held by the Selling Stockholders after completion of the offering. For purposes of the table below, we have assumed that the Selling Stockholders will have sold all of the shares covered by this prospectus upon completion of the
applicable offering.
On October 7, 2014, in accordance with the terms of the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the Novatel Wireless
Board appointed Philip Falcone and Robert Pons to serve as members of the Novatel Wireless Board. In addition, Mr. Pons was appointed to the serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Novatel Wireless Board and the
Compensation Committee of the Novatel Wireless Board. The Initial Holder, United Teachers and Continental are wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of HC2 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HC2”). Following the
Reorganization, the directors of Inseego, including Mr. Falcone and Mr. Pons, are the same individuals who served as directors of Novatel Wireless immediately prior to the Reorganization. Mr. Falcone is the Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer of HC2. Mr. Pons was, at the time of his appointment to the Novatel Wireless Board, the Executive Vice President of Business Development and a director of HC2, and is currently Executive Vice President of HC2’s
subsidiary, PTGi International Carrier Services, Inc.
Except as described above, the Selling Stockholders have not held any position or
office or had any other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of our securities. In addition, unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes
below, we believe that: (a) none of the Selling Stockholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer, (b) none of the Selling Stockholders has any direct or indirect agreements or understandings with any person to
distribute its shares, and (c) the Selling Stockholders and HC2 have shared voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned.
The Initial Holder has represented to us in writing that it acquired the securities or will acquire the underlying securities for its own
account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such securities. In recognition of the fact that the Initial Holder, even though purchasing the shares for its own account, may wish to be legally permitted to sell its securities
when it deems appropriate, we agreed with the Initial Holder to file a registration statement to register the resale of the securities. We also have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement, of which this
prospectus constitutes a part, effective until all of the securities covered by the registration statement have been sold or may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.
The table below presents information regarding the Selling Stockholders and the shares of our Common Stock that they may sell or otherwise
dispose of from time to time under this prospectus. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based upon 53,955,857 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 8, 2016. Beneficial ownership is determined under Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities and includes any securities that grant the Selling Stockholders the right to acquire Common Stock within 60 days of November 8, 2016. Information
in the table below is based on information provided by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. Since the date on which it
9
provided us with the information below, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.

A Selling Stockholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all
of the shares of Common Stock owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an
amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a Selling Stockholder under
this prospectus. A Selling Stockholder also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our Common Stock or interests therein, a Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. A Selling Stockholder may also sell shares of our Common Stock short
and deliver these securities to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers or other financial institutions that in turn may sell these securities. A Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions for the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares
such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Common Stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the Common
Stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their respective agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made
directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the 2015 Warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the 2015 Warrants.
The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the
Securities Act provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The Selling Stockholders and any
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions
or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any Selling Stockholder who is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act
will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the shares of our Common Stock to
be sold, the name of the Selling Stockholder, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set
forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Common Stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Common Stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is
complied with.
We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may
apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time)
available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying
12
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares
against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the Initial Holder
against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus. We have agreed with the Initial Holder to use commercially reasonable efforts to
keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (a) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration
statement or (b) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
The following information describes our Common Stock, as well as certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
(as amended, our “Certificate of Incorporation”) and our amended and restated bylaws (as amended, our “Bylaws”). This description is only a summary. You should also refer to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws,
which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to our registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
Authorized and Outstanding
Capital Stock
Under our Certificate of Incorporation, the total number of shares of all classes of stock that we have authority to
issue is 152,000,000, consisting of 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), and 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Our board of directors (“the Board” or
“our Board”) may establish the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock from time to time. As of November 8, 2016, there were 53,955,857 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock issued
and outstanding.
Common Stock
Subject to the rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, the holders of Common
Stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may from time to time be declared by our Board out of funds legally available for that purpose. Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock are entitled to one
vote per share, and are entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by law. Other than certain contractual rights of certain holders of Common Stock, holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion,
redemption or sinking fund rights. Subject to the rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to liquidation, holders of Common Stock, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
are entitled to share equally and ratably in the assets of the Company. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares of Common Stock to be offered or issuable upon exercise of the 2015 Warrant when issued will be, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common Stock are subject to the rights, preferences and privileges of any series of Preferred Stock that we may issue in the future.
Our Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “INSG.”
Anti-Takeover Effects of Some Provisions of Delaware Law
Provisions of Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make the acquisition of the Company through a tender offer, a
proxy contest or other means more difficult and could make the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult. We expect these provisions to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage
persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to first negotiate with our Board. We believe that the benefits provided by our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal outweigh the disadvantages of
discouraging these proposals. We believe the negotiation of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal could result in an improvement of its terms.
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits
a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
|
|
•
|
|
the board of directors of the corporation approves either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, prior to the time the interested stockholder
attained that status;
|
14
|
|
•
|
|
upon the closing of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time
the transaction commenced, excluding, for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to
determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
|
|
|
•
|
|
at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at
least 66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
|
With certain
exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person or group who or which owns 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement,
arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights, and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of such
voting stock at any time within the previous three years.
In general, Section 203 defines a business combination to include:
|
|
•
|
|
any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
|
|
|
•
|
|
any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
|
|
|
•
|
|
subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
|
|
|
•
|
|
any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
|
|
|
•
|
|
the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.
|
A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of this provision with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an
express provision in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. However, the Company has not “opted
out” of this provision. Section 203 could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change-in-control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire the Company.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Charter Documents
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for our Board to be divided into three classes serving staggered terms. Approximately one-third
of the Board will be elected each year. The provision for a classified board could prevent a party who acquires control of a majority of the outstanding voting stock from obtaining control of the Board until the second annual stockholders
meeting following the date the acquirer obtains the controlling stock interest. The classified board provision could discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company and could
increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their positions. In accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation, directors may be removed by the affirmative vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock only
with cause.
Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual or special meeting
of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the Board. Among other requirements, the advance notice provisions provide that (a) a stockholder must provide to
15
the secretary of the Company timely notice (generally 90-120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders) of any business,
including director nominations, proposed to be brought before the annual or special meeting, which notice must conform to the substantive requirements set forth in the Bylaws, (b) a stockholder must deliver certain information regarding the
person(s) making the proposal, and in the case of any nominee for election to the Board, information regarding such nominee, in each case as set forth in the Bylaws, and (c) any nominee for election to the Board must provide both an executed
questionnaire regarding his or her background, qualifications, stock ownership and independence, and an executed representation agreement regarding voting commitments, indemnification or similar arrangements and compliance with Company policies
applicable to members of the Board. These provisions may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the
Company.
Our Bylaws provide that our Board, our chairman of the Board or our chief executive officer may call a special meeting of
stockholders. Because our stockholders do not have the right to call a special meeting, a stockholder could not force stockholder consideration of a proposal over the opposition of the Board by calling a special meeting of stockholders prior to
such time as a majority of the Board believed the matter should be considered or until the next annual meeting provided that the requestor met the notice and other requirements. The restriction on the ability of stockholders to call a special
meeting means that a proposal to replace the Board also could be delayed until the next annual meeting.
Our Certificate of Incorporation
provides that our Bylaws may be altered or amended or new bylaws adopted by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of our voting stock entitled to vote.
Our Board is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal our Bylaws. This provision may not be repealed, amended or altered in any
respect without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of our voting stock entitled to vote.
Our Certificate of Incorporation does not allow stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting. Without the availability of
stockholders’ actions by written consent, a holder of the requisite number of shares of our capital stock would not be able to amend our Bylaws or remove directors without holding a stockholders’ meeting. The holder would have to
obtain the consent of a majority of the Board, our chairman of the Board or our chief executive officer to call a stockholders’ meeting and satisfy the notice periods determined by the Board.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The
transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
