ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On August 12, 2009, CalAmp Corp. ("CalAmp" or the "Company") sold its
preferred stock holding in MIR3, Inc., a privately-held company, to a group of
private investors not affiliated with CalAmp. The sales price was $1,015,000.
After giving effect to transaction costs, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss
of approximately $1 million on this sale.
Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Company's bank credit agreement,
in which the banks consented to this asset sale, $1 million of the sales
proceeds were applied to the outstanding balance of the bank term loan, thereby
reducing the scheduled principal payment due September 30, 2009 from $1.6
million to $600,000. The balance of the term loan is $13.0 million after
giving effect to this $1 million payment.
The information in this Item 7.01 of the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the
purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that section. Furthermore, the information in this Item 7.01
of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless such subsequent
filing specifically references this Current Report on Form 8-K.
