On August 2, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sierra Wireless, Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Sierra”), and Wireless Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved and adopted by the board of directors of each of the Company and Sierra.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company’s shareholders will have the right to receive 0.1800 common shares, no par value, of Sierra (“Sierra Common Stock”) for each share of Class A common stock, no par value, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) (such consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Additionally, each outstanding restricted stock unit, in-the-money option and in-the-money stock appreciation right will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Except as described below and specified in the Merger Agreement, if exercised following notice of the Merger, each outstanding warrant issued by the Company will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration or, if not exercised, will be cancelled at the Effective Time.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from each of the Company and Sierra, and each party to the Merger Agreement has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (1) the conduct of the Company’s and Sierra’s businesses during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, (2) the obligation of the Company to call a meeting of its shareholders to adopt the Merger Agreement, and, subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that its shareholders adopt the Merger Agreement and (3) the Company’s non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative acquisition proposals. Each of the Company and Sierra has also agreed to apply for, or otherwise seek, and use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, all consents and approvals of governmental entities required to be obtained by it for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The completion of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders, (2) the receipt of conditional approval of the shares of Sierra Common Stock to be issued in the Merger for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange, subject only to customary post-closing deliverables, and on The NASDAQ Global Market, subject only to official notice of issuance, (3) the expiration or early termination of all applicable waiting periods applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (4) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-4 by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the Sierra Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, (5) the absence of any order, injunction or other legal restraint preventing the completion of the Merger or making the completion of the Merger illegal and (6) the absence of any pending legal proceeding instituted by any governmental entity seeking to restrain, enjoin or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each party’s obligation to complete the Merger is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including (1) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (2) performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement, (3) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the other party and (4) receipt by such party of a tax opinion to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The Merger Agreement also provides certain termination rights for each of the Company and Sierra and further provides that a termination fee equal to 3.75% of the aggregate equity value of the Merger as of the date of the Merger Agreement will be payable by the Company upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement. In addition, upon termination of the Merger Agreement by Sierra as a result of either Numerex’s shareholders not approving the transaction or Numerex’s fraud or willful and material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, Numerex may be required to reimburse Sierra for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger in an amount not to exceed $850,000 in the event of a no vote and $2 million in the event of fraud or a willful and material breach.

In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to repurchase the Hale Capital warrants for a purchase price of $4.0 million, immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Merger. In addition, Hale Capital has agreed to waive any event of default under the Note Purchase Agreement that may be caused by the execution of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger; provided that (i) the repurchase price for the warrant and all principal, interest and other amounts owed under the Notes are paid in full substantially concurrently with the Effective Time of the Merger and (ii) the Effective Time of the Merger occurs on or before August 1, 2018.
