ITEM 1.02

TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

As previously reported by PCTEL, Inc. (the “Company” or “PCTEL”) in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 5, 2015, PCTEL acquired substantially all of the assets of, and assumed certain specified liabilities of, Nexgen Wireless, Inc. (“Nexgen”) on February 27, 2015, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of that date by and among PCTEL, Nexgen and the principals of Nexgen.

On April 7, 2015, Samsung Electronics America, Inc., as successor in interest to Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (“Samsung”), provided Nexgen and PCTEL with a notice of Samsung’s election to terminate, effective April 30, 2015, the Contractor Services Agreement, dated May 2, 2012 (the “CSA”), by and between Samsung and Nexgen. Nexgen furnishes services to Samsung under the CSA including: (a) Meridian™ software-based services and data analytics, and (b) engineering and drive testing contract personnel, as requested by Samsung from time to time. Samsung’s termination notice was provided under the convenience termination provisions of the CSA, without further explanation. According to the termination notice, such termination applies to the CSA only and will have no effect on other agreements now in place between Samsung or its affiliates, on the one hand, and Nexgen or PCTEL, on the other.

The Company continues to forecast 15-18 percent revenue growth over 2014 and views the Nexgen acquisition as accretive to earnings in 2015. Nonetheless, the Company has revised its overall revenue forecast for 2015 in light of reduced business with Samsung, the reduction in capital spending by AT&T, and a decline in new network infrastructure investment in the oil and gas market. As noted in the Spring Investor Presentation posted on the Company’s website, the Company has revised revenue guidance from the previously-announced range of $133 to $138 million to a revised range of $124 to $130 million. The contents of the Company’s website are not incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Finally, the Company and the principals of Nexgen have signed a term sheet calling for: (a) a material reduction of the total consideration paid or payable by PCTEL for the Nexgen assets, and (b) a material reduction of the equity compensation for which John Thakkar, the founder and president of Nexgen and now the Company’s Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, RF Solutions, will be eligible. These reductions seek to align the asset acquisition costs with the revised revenue and EBITDA estimates.

These statements are based on management’s current expectations and actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are detailed in the Company’s SEC filings.
