In Addition to a Significant Growth Opportunity, Combination Expected to Unlock a Compelling $25m+ EBITDA Expansion Within First Two Years

Expected to Deliver Significant Cross-Sell and Upsell Opportunities for Combined Solution Portfolio into Joint Base of 7,500 Enterprise Customers

Virtual Investor Fireside Chat Scheduled for 9:30 AM ET on Tuesday, April 30, 2024

WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ – April 2, 2024 – Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: PWFL) and MiX Telematics Limited have successfully closed their previously announced business combination, forming one of the world’s largest mobile asset Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers. This powerful combination creates a scaled, global entity of choice focused on unifying business operations by simplifying how customers manage, analyze, and utilize data to drive improved business performance.

“This transformative combination positions Powerfleet as a leading global AIoT SaaS company, setting the stage for accelerated growth in recurring revenues, increased profitability, and expanded avenues for creating shareholder value,” said Steve Towe, Powerfleet’s Chief Executive Officer. “We’re swiftly executing a proven business integration strategy known for delivering concrete outcomes, underpinned firstly by a robust $25m+ EBITDA expansion program in concert with medium-term high growth. This approach is designed to accelerate the integration process, allowing us to promptly focus on driving increased shareholder value and enhancing our customers’ experience.”

A new board of directors of Powerfleet has now been appointed. The new board consists of Michael Brodsky, Chairman, Steve Towe, CEO, and Ian Jacobs, the previous MiX Chairman. Powerfleet is also pleased to announce Mike McConnell as a new board member. Mike has a strong history as a corporate director, focused on enhancing shareholder value.

“On behalf of the entire board, we are delighted by the successful completion of the business combination between Powerfleet and MiX,” shares Michael Brodsky, Chairman of the Powerfleet board. “We are highly confident the combined entity will emerge as a strongly unified, differentiated, and efficient company.”

Steve Towe added, “Amidst a fragmented market where consolidation and scale continue to be a strong driver, Powerfleet possesses a clear vision and mission, anchored by our compelling Unity platform. Our device-agnostic data ingestion engine and third-party integration capabilities, unique to Unity, deliver unparalleled value for our customers. We unify their operations, providing a single source of truth for their people, their assets, and business processes – enabling impactful business change and enhanced performance.”

The combined geographical footprint, deep vertical expertise, and expanded software solution sets coupled with the extensive direct and indirect sales channel capabilities should enable Powerfleet to maximize significant cross-sell and upsell opportunities within the impressive joint customer base, promoting recurring SaaS revenue. This positions Powerfleet to move towards Rule of 40 performance within two years of closing this transaction.

Powerfleet Secures Secondary Listing on the JSE in Strategic Expansion Move

Powerfleet, Inc., a leading provider in the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) sector, today attained a secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). This strategic move aims to harness the robust capital markets in South Africa, propelling Powerfleet’s growth and expanding its global footprint.

Powerfleet listed on the Nasdaq in 1999 and, as part of its expansion move, is in the final stages of completing its business combination with MiX Telematics Limited, a South African company specialising in fleet and mobile asset management solutions. Upon completion, the business combination, which will be implemented through a scheme of arrangement under South African law, will result in Powerfleet acquiring all outstanding shares of MiX Telematics.

“The transformative combination positions Powerfleet as a leading, global AIoT SaaS company, setting the stage for accelerated growth in recurring revenues, increased profitability, and expanded avenues for creating shareholder value,” said Steve Towe, Powerfleet’s CEO. “We’re swiftly executing a proven business integration strategy known for delivering concrete outcomes, underpinned by a robust EBITDA expansion program. This approach is designed to accelerate the integration process, allowing us to promptly focus on driving increased shareholder value and enhancing our customers’ experience. Committed to rapid and effective integration, we are highly confident we will emerge as a strongly unified, differentiated, and efficient company.”

Consequently, MiX Telematics’ ordinary shares and American Depositary Shares have been delisted from the JSE and the New York Stock Exchange, respectively, consolidating the two entities into a formidable force in the mobile asset AIoT SaaS landscape.

“We are thrilled to welcome Powerfleet on the JSE and excited to see a healthier pipeline of listings for the year. The company’s decision to list with us underscores the JSE’s position as a gateway for global firms seeking to access African capital markets. We look forward to supporting Powerfleet in their growth journey and witnessing the synergies this business combination brings to our dynamic market,” said Valdene Reddy, Director of Capital Markets at the JSE.

The business combination is expected to foster a robust stream of new business and technological innovations, bolstered by an enhanced capital structure and the synergies of combined expertise. The fusion of MiX Telematics’ and Powerfleet’s complementary business models, markets, and operational strategies is expected to yield substantial value for shareholders, with a combined subscriber base of approximately 1.7 million.

Upon consummation of the business combination, MiX Telematics shareholders will exchange their MiX Telematics shares for Powerfleet common shares. The post-transaction ownership of the combined company will consist of approximately 65.5% of Powerfleet common shares held by former MiX Telematics shareholders and 34.5% of Powerfleet common shares held by existing Powerfleet shareholders.

Powerfleet’s listing brings the number of listings on the JSE to 284 with an overall market cap of R17.84 trillion.

Powerfleet Launches AI-Powered Solution to Revolutionize Pedestrian Safety

WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ – December 7, 2023 – Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: PWFL) today launched its next-generation Pedestrian Proximity Detection solution, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered safety system that proactively prevents accidents, bolsters pedestrian safety, and mitigates damage to material handling equipment (MHE) within warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Using AI-led object detection, the solution identifies people and MHE in its path, provides visual and audio alerts of potential hazards, and fosters an enhanced safety culture.

Warehouses and distribution centers have seen a tremendous increase in labor over the past decade with more than 1.9 million workers now employed in these facilities, creating a surge in demand for safety solutions. The risk of injury and safety standard violations has also increased – with those involving contact with an object or equipment among the most frequently violated standards. Associated costs and damage to brand reputation has resulted in companies around the world rethinking their safety cultures.

Powerfleet is helping its customers face these challenges head on and has experienced 57% subscriber growth for its safety solutions in North America since 2020. Powerfleet technology is fueling safety innovation – going beyond current protection strategies such as special apparel or wearable tags – and using a more universal, reliable, and advanced approach. With enhanced visibility to avoid common safety blind spots, and access to quantifiable analytics for coaching best practices, drivers and pedestrians will now be better equipped for workplace operations, progressing Powerfleet’s mission of improving safety for all.

“The safety of pedestrians, drivers, and equipment remains our top priority, and Powerfleet is dedicated to providing mission-critical solutions that empower our customers to create safer workplaces throughout the world,” said Steve Towe, Chief Executive Officer at Powerfleet. “The Pedestrian Proximity Detection system offers a broad array of business-improvement capabilities designed to increase pedestrian and MHE safety. Arming organizations with this solution allows them to take critical action to reduce liability and protect their most valuable assets, their people.”

With an immediate Return on Investment (ROI), leveraging the use of this AI-powered solution helps prevent and significantly reduce costly accidents. With capabilities such as triggering speed and access control, detection of high-risk areas by identifying near-miss events and driver coaching, the Pedestrian Proximity Detection offering revolutionizes how Powerfleet approaches safety in the market.

“It’s imperative that businesses adapt and integrate new technologies to prevent irreparable damage to employees, valuable resources, and brand image,” said Jim Zeitunian, Chief Technology Officer at Powerfleet. “Powerfleet continues to expand our AI-led platform and advanced data capabilities to promote safer workplaces. Through the Pedestrian Proximity Detection system, we’re able to provide unmatched visibility and crucial event analysis to enhance experiences for operators and pedestrians alike.”

The solution includes up to three vehicle-powered cameras equipped with embedded AI to identify objects in the vicinity of the vehicle. It also features front and rear indicator lights that emit audible and visual warnings when objects breach the vehicle path. A central wiring box powers the cameras and connects inputs and outputs for zone detection, and when linked to Powerfleet’s Forklift Gateway (VAC), camera outputs capture specific event details like breach location, time and driver identification for a more in-depth analysis of events.

The U.S. has seen a sobering 29% increase in trucking-related fatalities over the past decade.

Powerfleet’s Unity platform integrates speed and seat belt status alongside accelerometer-based data including harsh acceleration, braking, and cornering to deliver advanced insights and trigger safety alerts through advanced data intelligence. Fleet managers can leverage real-time monitoring to incentivize safe driving habits with rewards and identify coaching opportunities for low-performing drivers. Pairing this real-time data stream with dual-facing dashcams, Powerfleet provides drivers with instant feedback on distracted or unsafe operations to create safer driving habits.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the parties’ expectations with respect to their beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions and future performance, as well as anticipated financial impacts of the proposed transaction, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the proposed transaction and the timing of the completion of the proposed transaction. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause their actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the parties’ control and are difficult to predict. The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are not limited to, risks related to: (i) the completion of the proposed transaction in the anticipated timeframe or at all; (ii) the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the proposed transaction including, but not limited to the ability to obtain approval of the stockholders of Powerfleet and shareholders of MiX and the ability to obtain financing; (iii) the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals; (iv) the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; (v) the ability to successfully integrate the businesses; (vi) disruption from the proposed transaction making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; (vii) the negative effects of the announcement of the proposed transaction or the consummation of the proposed transaction on the market price of MiX’s or Powerfleet’s securities; (viii) significant transaction costs and unknown liabilities; (ix) litigation or regulatory actions related to the proposed transaction; and (x) such other factors as are set forth in the periodic reports filed by MiX and Powerfleet with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in their annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any other filings made with the SEC from time to time, which are available via the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date of this press release, and except as otherwise required by applicable securities law, neither MiX nor Powerfleet assumes any obligation nor do they intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
