Dear Fellow Stockholders,

You are cordially invited to attend the virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders of CalAmp Corp. on Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time.

Before going into more detail about our Annual Meeting I would like to share with you some of the highlights of our 2023 fiscal year.

Fiscal 2023 was both a challenging and a rewarding year. While the industry struggled through unprecedented global supply chain challenges, CalAmp drove our customers to successfully navigate the 3G to 4G transition and achieved key business transformation milestones. During the year, we have accelerated the pace of CalAmp’s business transformation from being a telematics device provider to being a leading provider of subscription-based telematics solutions. As we complete our transition from device to a full-stack solution provider, CalAmp’s S&SS revenue increased 20% to $185 million, or 63% of our total revenue. Additionally, our subscriber count grew 60% – from 1.0 million in FY22 to 1.6 million in FY23. As of fiscal year end, CalAmp has reduced our dependence on spot market purchases of key components and successfully converted 78% of our legacy hardware customers to a recurring Software & Subscription Services (S&SS) contracts.

Another key element of CalAmp’s business transformation was to strengthen our leadership team with industry and functional expertise. To this end, we have hired revenue-focused marketing and sales executives, Mark Gaydos and Brennen Carson, to join our Executive Leadership Team. Both have proven experience growing Software & Subscription Services sales and revenue. More recently, we have also appointed Jikun Kim as Chief Financial Officer. In his first few months at CalAmp, Jikun has already been instrumental in accomplishing a restructuring to reduce expenses and streamline our business processes – allowing rapid transformation and ensuring customer focus. Further, this restructuring enables us to lower our breakeven revenue level and expand investment in developing our recurring-revenue-based business model.

It has been a privilege working with the amazing group of colleagues at CalAmp. I am proud of all that we have accomplished and the progress we have made in positioning the Company for growth and profitability. I will support CalAmp and its Board of Directors with a smooth transition to the next CEO.

At this 2023 Annual Meeting, we are asking our stockholders to vote on the following important matters:

To elect the eight nominees named in the Proxy Statement to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their respective successors are elected and qualified. The eight nominees are Jeffery Gardner, Scott Arnold, Jason Cohenour, Wesley Cummins, Henry Maier, Roxanne Oulman, Jorge Titinger and Kirsten Wolberg;

To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024;

To approve, on an advisory basis, the executive compensation of our Named Executive Officers;

To approve the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan that, in part, increases the number of shares of common stock that can be issued thereunder by 1,449,000 shares to 14,299,000 shares, increases the number of shares that may be granted to any employee during any fiscal year by 200,000 shares to 500,000 shares and extends the right to grant awards under the plan through May 22, 2033;

To approve an increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock by 100 million shares to 180 million shares; and

To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any continuation, postponement, or adjournment thereof.

To our Stockholders

We are pleased to invite you to attend the virtual annual meeting of

stockholders of CalAmp Corp. on

Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time

This year, we will hold the Annual Meeting virtually over the Internet, which provides the opportunity for participation by a broader group of our stockholders and enables stockholders to participate fully, and equally, from any location around the world, at no cost.

We are acting under a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rule that allows companies to furnish their proxy materials over the Internet rather than in paper form. Consequently, stockholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials, unless they specifically request them. We believe that this delivery process will reduce our environmental impact and lower the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials. We also believe that we can achieve these benefits with no impact on our stockholders’ timely access to this important information.

You can attend the virtual meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ CAMP2023, where you will be able to submit questions during the meeting.

Details regarding the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are more fully described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement.

The Company intends to commence mailing to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials on or about June 14, 2023.

Proposal 2: The ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024;

Proposal 3: The approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of CalAmp’s named executive officers (“NEOs”), as disclosed in this Proxy Statement;

Proposal 4: To approve the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan that increases the number of shares of common stock that can be issued thereunder by 1,449,000 shares to 14,299,000 shares, increases the number of shares that may be granted to any employee during any fiscal year by 200,000 shares to 500,000 shares and extends the right to grant awards under the plan through May 22, 2033; and

Proposal 5: To approve an amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the amount of total authorized shares of common stock of the Company by 100,000,000 shares to 180,000,000 shares.

It is not expected that any additional matters will be brought before the Annual Meeting, but if other matters are properly presented, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card or their substitutes will vote in their discretion on such matters.

Shares that are properly voted via the Internet, mobile device, or by telephone or for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions given.

If you are a stockholder of record and submit a signed proxy card or submit your proxy by telephone or Internet and do not specify how you want your shares voted, the proxy holder will vote your shares in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as follows:

“FOR” the election of each of the eight nominees to the Board named herein;

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditors;

“FOR” approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our NEOs, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement;

“FOR” the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan; and

“FOR” the amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

We encourage you to cast your vote! You may vote by one of the following methods:




VOTE BY INTERNET Prior to the meeting please visit http://www.proxyvote.com During the meeting please visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CAMP2023	VOTE BY MAIL Return your proxy card to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge 51 Mercedes Way Edgewood, NY 11717	VOTE BY TELEPHONE Dial +1 800-690-6903

When you submit your vote via proxy over the Internet or by telephone, your vote is recorded immediately. To vote by either of these methods, read this Proxy Statement, have your proxy card, or voting instruction form in hand, which contain your control number, and follow the instructions for your preferred method of voting. We encourage you to submit your proxies using these methods whenever possible. Each of these voting methods is available 24 hours per day,

seven days per week. The internet and telephone voting facilities will close at 11:59 P.M., Eastern Time, on July 25, 2023. If you submit a proxy via the Internet or by telephone, please do not return your proxy card by mail, unless you want to change your prior vote.

The manner in which your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held. If you own shares of record, meaning that your shares are represented by certificates or book entries in your name so that you appear as a stockholder on the records of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, our stock transfer agent, you may vote by proxy, meaning you authorize individuals named in the proxy card to vote your shares. You may provide this authorization by voting via the Internet, by telephone, or (if you have received paper copies of our proxy materials) by completing and returning a proxy card. You also may participate in and vote during the Annual Meeting. If you own common stock of record and you do not submit your proxy or vote at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

If you own shares in street name, meaning that your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee, then the bank, brokerage firm or other nominee is considered to be the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. However, you are still considered to be the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are said to be held in “street name.” Street name holders generally cannot submit a proxy or vote their shares directly and instead the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee how to vote their shares sends a voting instruction form to the beneficial owner. Generally this form enables you to provide your voting instructions to the brokerage firm, bank or other nominee via the Internet, by telephone, or by returning the voting instruction form. You also may participate in and vote during the Annual Meeting through the virtual portal.

If you own common stock in street name and do not either provide voting instructions or vote during the Annual Meeting, the institution that holds your shares has discretionary authority to vote your shares on proposals that are considered routine. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to Proposal 2—The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024, but cannot vote your shares on any director nominees or on any of the other proposals or other matters being considered at the Annual Meeting without your voting instructions. So it is very important that you instruct your broker or bank how to vote your shares.

Voting Standards

Proposal 1—Election of Directors. The nominees for director are elected by a majority of the votes cast, which means that the number of votes cast “FOR” a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” such nominee’s election. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” for each nominee. Abstentions and Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors. Brokers do not have the discretion to vote on the election of directors without voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares.

In accordance with CalAmp’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, any director who is not elected by a majority of the votes cast is expected to tender his or her resignation to the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee will recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation offer, or whether other action should be taken. In determining whether to recommend that the Board of Directors accept any resignation offer, the Governance and Nominating Committee may consider all factors that the Committee’s members believe are relevant. The Board will act on the Governance and Nominating Committee’s recommendation within 90 days following certification of the election results.

Proposal 2—Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche, LLP. To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche, LLP as our independent auditing firm for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024, the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock present (in person or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal is required. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares

will be counted as present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of establishing a quorum, and the abstention will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Brokers are generally authorized to vote on the ratification of accountants so broker non-votes are not expected on this proposal.

Proposal 3—Approval of NEO Compensation. To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock present (in person or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal is required. Because your vote on this proposal is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board, the Human Capital Committee of the Board, or CalAmp. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will be counted as present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of establishing a quorum, and the abstention will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 4—Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock present (in person or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal is required to approve the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan that, in part, increases the shares authorized for issuance under the plan, increases the limit on the number of shares that may be granted to any one employee during a fiscal year and extends the right to grant awards under the plan through May 22, 2033. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will be counted as present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of establishing a quorum, and the abstention will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 5—Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote on this proposal is required to approve the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that increases the number of shares of common stock of the Company by 100,000,000 shares to 180,000,000 shares. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will be counted as present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of establishing a quorum, and the abstention will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

Revocation

You may revoke a previously submitted proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting. Your last vote counts.

If you are a stockholder of record, in order to revoke a proxy, you must do one of the following prior to the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting:

Provide written notice of revocation to CalAmp Corp. c/o Corporate Secretary, 15635 Alton Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine, California, 92618;

Deliver a valid proxy bearing a later date or submit a new later dated proxy by telephone or over the Internet; or

Voting while attending the virtual Annual Meeting by webcast. Attending the Annual Meeting along will not revoke your proxy.

A beneficial owner holding their shares in street name may revoke or change voting instructions by contacting the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee holding the shares or by participating in and voting during the Annual Meeting.

All shares that have been properly voted by proxy without timely revocation will be voted at the Annual Meeting.

Participating in the Annual Meeting

This year’s Annual Meeting will be accessible only through the Internet. We are conducting a virtual online Annual Meeting so our stockholders can participate from any geographic location with Internet connectivity. We believe this is an important step to enhancing accessibility to our Annual Meeting for all of our stockholders and enhancing our ESG efforts by reducing the carbon footprint of our activities.

We solve your most complex problems

CalAmp Leadership Reflected in Top Enterprise Wins in core Market Verticals

We are a connected intelligence company that leverages a data-driven solutions ecosystem to help people and organizations improve operational performance. We solve complex problems for customers within the market verticals of transportation and logistics, commercial and government fleets, industrial equipment, K12 fleets, and consumer vehicles by providing solutions that track, monitor, and protect their vital assets. The data and insights enabled by CalAmp solutions provide real-time visibility into a user’s vehicles, assets, drivers, and cargo, giving organizations greater understanding and control of their operations. Ultimately, these insights drive operational visibility, safety, efficiency, maintenance, and sustainability for organizations around the world.

Currently, CalAmp is generating data for a global customer portfolio across an installed base of approximately 10 million devices reporting to our cloud-based platform. The magnitude and diversity of this data generation has played an instrumental role in the development of our flexible and scalable cloud platform, the CalAmp Telematics Cloud^™ (“CTC”). CTC’s ability to ingest vast amounts and types of data is critical to the company’s long-term strategy of providing differentiated insights to customers with a wide variety of needs and use cases. The platform also serves as the backbone for CalAmp’s software applications, which offer user-friendly interfaces to interact with the data and insights produced at the edge and in the cloud. Finally, to better address customer needs and enable a focused investment strategy, CalAmp is focused on enabling partnerships with third-party organizations, integrating devices, services, and application features into our consolidated solutions.

CalAmp’s ability to provide a full stack solution to end-users across the globe uniquely positions the company to capitalize on an estimated $62 billion total addressable market (“TAM”). The market in which we compete is highly fragmented, with the majority of competitors serving a range of subsets of CalAmp’s addressable market. We believe that this fragmentation will allow CalAmp to offer unparalleled value through a consolidated solution set. The company is focusing on transforming towards this vision by building out data-driven solutions, a robust portfolio of partners, and a world-class team of people.

The complexity that exists within CalAmp’s operating environment continues to be primarily driven by macroeconomic conditions, competitive markets, global regulatory environments, technological evolution, global supply chain complications, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other macro-political and economic factors. We believe that the effect that these factors have on our customers further substantiates and augments the value of our solutions. As our customers’ operating complexity and costs continue to rise, the deployment of advanced telematics solutions becomes even more imperative. To maintain or enhance market share, revenue, profitability, and customer satisfaction, our customers require optimally efficient operating strategies, enabled by the visibility that CalAmp solutions provide.

Our Solutions

LOGO

CalAmp Telematics Cloud (“CTC”). Since not all customers’ needs are the same, CalAmp offers flexible solutions to meet the requirements of varying organizations, business processes and operational strategies. At the core of the CalAmp approach is the CTC platform. This dependable and highly scalable platform seamlessly integrates with CalAmp’s edge computing products to provide customers detailed information and insights via Application Programming Interfaces (“APIs”) or software applications built on this platform. The information captured here helps companies more efficiently manage their vital assets including fleet video intelligence, remote asset tracking, real-time crash response and driver behavior scoring, among others. Customers can choose to access this information via intuitive purpose-built Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) applications and/or they can programmatically integrate information from CTC with their own custom in-house applications and workflows using open APIs also offered by CalAmp. In this way, customers who want a complete turnkey solution can quickly leverage CalAmp’s information and insights while those customers wishing to integrate that information into their own applications and processes can easily do so, also.

Intuitive SaaS Applications. We provide our customers with intelligent analytics and reporting solutions that are accessible via a single view, user-friendly interface through a SaaS-based application designed to address market needs. The CalAmp application, is purpose-built for fleets, transportation and logistics needs, and industrial equipment, turning multiple data feeds from previously unconnected networks of vehicles, drivers and associated assets into clear and actionable insights that optimize operations, increase productivity and deliver compelling return on investment for virtually any business challenge. The applications also deliver real-time visibility about the location and environmental status of pharmaceuticals, electronics, food or other perishables from the manufacturing plant or point of origin to the point of delivery, helping to manage quality and compliance across land, air or sea shipments. Our K-through-12 solutions include Here Comes The Bus^®, an award-winning mobile application that provides real-time school bus location through push notifications and email alerts to help family members monitor bus arrival and keep students safe. Bus Guardian^™ enables contact tracing and hygiene verification to keep students, drivers and other school staff safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

CalAmp Marketplace. The CalAmp Marketplace provides enhanced contextual information from third party systems or partners that augment the core telematics data being captured by CTC to provide customers with improved understanding of their business. Examples of these value-added insights include crash detection and notifications that speed life-saving assistance to drivers and fleet operators, and predictive remote diagnostics that enable preemptive alerts about vehicle issues before critical failures occur. This valued-added information provided by all the CalAmp Marketplace offerings bolsters the value we provide customers while also improving customer retention rates.

CalAmp Developer Portal. The CalAmp Telematics Cloud is the core engine that enables seamless management of data through a diverse set of assets, from service vehicles to high-value equipment. CTC is an enablement platform that connects our customers to edge data and insights for a wide range of applications and software services. Through

CTC CalAmp provides the Developer Portal to facilitate integration with third-party applications through open APIs. Our partners leverage the multiple APIs we’ve created to rapidly deliver full-featured telematics solutions available to our mutual customers and markets. Our proven CTC platform is architected to integrate with numerous global Mobile Network Operator account management systems and leverage these carrier backend systems to provide customers access to services that are essential for creating and managing flexible end-to-end solutions.

Flexible Edge Computing Products. We offer a series of telematics edge products that serve as the foundation of our mobile connected ecosystem by collecting data insights from vehicles, drivers, assets, and cargo. These wireless enabled devices—including asset tracking units, mobile telematics devices, fixed and mobile wireless gateways and routers—underpin our wide range of proprietary and third-party software applications and services for business-critical deployments demanding secure and reliable communications and controls anywhere in the world. Our customers select our products and solutions based on optimized feature sets, programmability, configurability, manageability, long-term support, reliability and, in particular, overall value.

Growth Strategy — Capitalize on $62B Total Addressable Market

Over the past several years, CalAmp has been focused on growing our subscription-based business through expanded data and application-driven solutions offerings. This transition has been driven by our desire to enhance the customer experience and maximize the value proposition that we provide our customers. By transforming our business model and solutions portfolio to focus on data-driven insights and the application experience, CalAmp offers customers the value and convenience of a consolidated full stack solution, while providing stockholders with the confidence that accompanies an increasingly recurring and predictable revenue model.

CalAmp operates at the nexus of several large market opportunities, including fleet, transportation and logistics, supply chain and connected-vehicle ecosystems, which includes tracking, monitoring, and recovering high-value vehicles, equipment, cargo and other vital assets in the markets around the world. We also operate at global scale, with a presence in the North American, EMEA, LATAM, and APAC regions, with plans to continue growing across the board. We believe these market opportunities constitute a TAM of approximately $62 billion. To capitalize on this TAM, our growth strategy includes the following key elements:

Drive Ongoing Transformation to SaaS Business Model. We are relentlessly pursuing our goal to grow our software and subscription services business. To accomplish this goal, our team is focused on continual innovation across our proprietary full stack solution. We believe that by leveraging our existing brand presence and customer base, we can drive growth through the adoption of our software applications and open API solutions. As CalAmp continues to drive significant subscriber growth, the increased volumes of data will drive our innovation roadmaps towards increasingly unique and differentiated solutions. This strategy begins with converting the legacy installed base to SaaS arrangements, while simultaneously ramping up SaaS sales volumes to both new and existing customers.

Launch New Innovative Software Solutions in the Emerging Connected Asset Market Worldwide. Across the globe, CalAmp has established highly recognizable brands, as well as strong and unique relationships with the most reputable companies in each of our verticals. This is a direct result of the company’s ability to consistently push the frontiers of innovation and develop customer-focused solutions. With innovation as a central component of our culture, CalAmp continues to develop new telematics solutions for the connected asset market such as our award-winning iOn^™ application, Here Comes the Bus application and Bus Guardian solution.

Expand in Key Verticals and Target Geographies. CalAmp continues to leverage our existing customer relationships and international subscribers to further expand into global markets including Latin America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific. Our global expansion strategy is focused on countries with anticipated demand for our full stack of SaaS applications and data services. The launch of iOn in EMEA demonstrates our commitment to execute on this strategy and extend the value of our CTC platform and

applications into global markets. We expect this strategy to generate significant growth over time as our international solutions continue to mature and adjust to unique regional market needs.

Continue to Help Customers Realize the Value of Fully Connected Ecosystems. Because CalAmp solutions are capable of connecting diverse asset portfolios and offering consolidated insights, the value of our solution grows as we become more embedded across customers’ operational ecosystems. This value is not only attractive to new customers looking for a consolidated solution, but it is also the basis for our ability to upsell existing customers. As our teams continue to build out innovative data services and edge capabilities, we expect to see significant average revenue per unit (“ARPU”) expansion and new customer growth.

Our People Strategy—Focus on our Greatest Asset

People are our greatest asset, and we are committed to being an employer of choice in our industry. Our employees engage in meaningful work with access to cutting-edge tools and technologies to develop solutions that disrupt entire industries. We proudly offer the security of an established publicly traded technology company, yet nurture and embody an entrepreneurial spirit. We give our employees a comprehensive compensation package and robust benefits that support the whole person.

CalAmp’s strategic leadership comes from a solid base of worldwide experience in technology, from connected vehicles to networking to public safety to energy and beyond. The executive team has years of expertise in both start-up and enterprise environments designing software and hardware for a wide variety of applications.

As of May 15, 2023, we had 652 employees globally and from time to time we also hire contract workers. None of our employees or contract workers are represented by a labor union. The contracted workers are generally engaged through independent temporary employment agencies.

Our HR Mission

Our HR mission is to create a winning culture that fosters innovation, collaboration, exceptional performance, and personal accountability with balanced attention to work and personal life issues.

Our Core Values—We believe celebrating employees and their achievements is the key to building a winning culture. We define and measure our winning culture by how quickly we innovate, how effectively we execute, how inclusive our environment is, and our willingness to place customer success at the forefront of everything we do.

LOGO

Our Core Values support the company vision and embrace the culture and experience we want our employees and customers to have. Sharing these common values will help guide us and build internal cohesion towards our winning culture.

Diversity & Inclusion—CalAmp continually strives to be a deeply inclusive employer with diversity reflected in our teams. We encourage employees to truly be themselves and thrive in an environment where their voices matter, differences are understood and valued, and where they are supported to express their unique ideas openly. We aim to foster a highly engaged and energized workplace, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and is excited to achieve more.

Wellness—We carefully plan our wellness programs annually to offer an array of opportunities for employees that focuses on the whole person. This includes financial, physical, emotional and environmental to ensure every element is supported. We believe our employees benefit the most using this well-rounded approach to target the multiple factors of their overall well-being. Our wellness program includes financial seminars, employee assistance programs for employees and their families, walking challenges, health competitions, Wellness Wednesdays, healthy treats, chess tournaments, mindfulness webinars, chair massages and a wealth of virtual and local resources. Wellness incentives are also offered to motivate our employees and their spouses to complete essential health goals each year in a proactive manner, ensuring their wellbeing is top-of-mind.

Talent Development—Providing employees with opportunities to increase knowledge and develop skills makes them feel valued. It gives them a sense of being invested in and recognition of their potential. CalAmp invests in our employees’ professional development by offering a variety of training programs. CalAmp has developed a Training & Education Reimbursement Program which provides an annual fund of training dollars to employees who are motivated for self-development. Employees can seek out job-related degrees or trainings for job enhancement, personal enrichment, and growth. Further, CalAmp offers a variety of on-site and virtual training programs throughout the year that support leadership development. Courses range from fundamentals such as PowerPoint and Presentation skills, to Program Management, Negotiations, and Developing High Performing Teams. More recently we launched our Global Career Paths to give employees a visual of how they can grow and develop within CalAmp. All of this information is held in one central location, our newly created Career Opportunities & Trainings page, for easy access by all employees. Through our programs, employees are given the tools which set them up for success and allow them to approach their work with a greater level of self-assurance and confidence.

Flexible Work Schedule—We embrace a hybrid model – 3 days in the office, 2 days remote.

Community Care—CalAmp provides opportunities for our employees to stay involved in the communities around them. We know the importance of caring for our communities is essential to our employees’ well-being. Therefore, we love to be a part of the solution and see our communities flourish. We know we can’t solve world hunger; however, we can join the battle to fight the hunger around us. That is why we hold annual food drives globally, to provide meals for those that need support.

CalAmp also has Paid Volunteer Hours. Our employees get to choose a cause, a date and a time that works for them. We aim to support our communities and our employees’ journeys to do the same. This means giving our employees the freedom to care for their communities in ways they are most passionate about. Employees can use these hours to give back to their local community, church, or charity organization. They are encouraged to use this time with their family, friends, or even coworkers in a way to support the Wining Culture of CalAmp.

Employee Engagement—CalAmp has implemented tools to encourage, foster, track and improve employee engagement. We have a global internal communication portal, employee recognition and service awards, as well as tools for setting both individual and team goals. Various pulse surveys have been used to track and measure employee wellbeing. This year we formed our Social Committee comprised of employees from around the globe. Our Social Committee assists with planning company and wellness events and provides us with different perspectives. This is to ensure we consider varying cultures, families, locations and other barriers or differences so we can find solutions and provide activities all our employees can benefit from. Employee engagement is an indicator of employee well-being and commitment to our values, purpose, and strategies.

Our Commitment to Corporate Sustainability

We continually seek to improve and enhance our governance programs. This year, we are pleased to share with our stockholders an update on our Environmental, Sustainability and Governance (“ESG”) efforts. We believe that responsible and sustainable business practices support our long-term success as a company. While those practices help keep our communities and our environment vibrant and healthy, they also lead us to more efficient, resilient, and profitable business operations. They also help us assist our customers in meeting their ESG targets. We believe that

being an industry leader is not just about having talented employees or innovative products, but it is also about doing business the right way, every day. That is why our commitment to sound corporate social responsibility (or “CSR”), is deeply rooted in all aspects of our business.



Sustainable Products We take responsibility for how our products impact the environment and communities. We believe transparency enhances accountability, helping us improve the long-term sustainability of our products and business.		Responsible Supply Chain The need for greater transparency and reliability are driving behavioral change in corporate supply chains, especially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We embrace and facilitate this change with our forward-thinking, responsible supply chain program, based on a commitment to collaborate with suppliers and key stakeholders to ensure that our value chain is reliable, socially responsible, and sustainable.


Ethical Business Practices Integrity is a core value of our company culture—one that we work hard to maintain in order to earn the trust of our customers and business partners, to inspire our employees, and to deliver value for our stockholders and improve our communities.		Advancing a Better Environment As we look to the future, CalAmp recognizes that environmental stewardship is critical to the long-term success of our company, our customers and other stakeholders. We are fully committed to responsible use of the earth’s natural resources and we strive to minimize any impact on climate change as we work together to create a better future.


Enhancing Vibrant Communities We believe that corporate sustainability should go beyond environmental and labor considerations to provide a positive social impact on the local communities in which we operate across the globe.

Our Governance and Nominating Committee oversees our ESG and CSR policies and programs. Information regarding our ESG activities is available in our corporate social responsibility report entitled “2023 Corporate Sustainability Report”, available on the ESG tab of our website at www.calamp.com (which is not incorporated by reference herein). Below are some highlights from our 2023 Corporate Sustainability Report: We believe there is a fundamental link between and among our telematics solutions supporting the mobile connected economy, the people of CalAmp, our partners, the communities in which we work and live, and the planet that is home to us all.


Our Telematics Solutions		· Leveraging our telematics cloud, we deliver an array of SaaS applications, telematics subscription services and edge computing products that can minimize waste and dramatically improve driver and vehicle safety. · By enabling load and route optimization, our CalAmp iOn Suite of Telematics Services and smart devices directly lead to fuel savings, lower greenhouse gas emissions and extended, more efficient service life for monitored vehicles.

Our Partners		· All of our contract manufacturers are ISO 14000 certified. · We have actively transitioned our supply chain to Tier 1 manufacturers that are geographically closer to our markets. For example, by moving manufacturing to Mexico from China, we reduced the quantity and frequency of air freight and cargo shipments, which has less of a carbon impact on the environment. · We comply with Dodd-Frank conflict minerals and work to eliminate suspicious smelters from our supply chain. We also comply with UK’s Modern Slavery Act and California’s Transparency in Supply Chains Act.

Our Communities		☐ CalAmp is helping to build safer communities through initiatives like Here Comes The Bus^®, our award-winning school bus location solution built with our subsidiary, Synovia Solutions, that lets parents know when school buses are arriving at their nearest stop. One county in North Carolina transformed their use of Here Comes The Bus to ensure the delivery of hot breakfasts and lunches to children who were kept out of school by the COVID-19 pandemic. ☐ We have taken an active role in Together for Safer Roads, a partnership that crosses industry boundaries to address the most challenging road safety issues in five categories: road safety management, safer roads and mobility, safer vehicles, safer road users, and post-crash response. ☐ Across all of our global offices, CalAmp promotes charitable giving and volunteering, with programs such as Adopt-a-Highway, which clearly fits our mission, but also through regular volunteering by employees at local food banks as well as donations to clothing and food drives across all our offices.

Our Planet		☐ Our connected vehicle solutions not only reduce costs for fleet operators, but they also result in safer roads and less fuel consumption, which results in fewer greenhouse gases being produced. ☐ We have taken a number of steps to improve our groundbreaking technologies, leading to even greater efficiencies and environmental benefits which include: Over The Air Updates—rather than requiring vehicles to travel to a central location for software or firmware updates, we can provide these improvements remotely for many of our systems. Low Power Batteries—by taking advantage of newer technologies and engineering approaches, our IoT solutions are moving towards a future where batteries can last much longer, with less waste and fewer service calls to replace batteries. Electric Vehicle Support—our solutions support the constant monitoring of battery health for electric and hybrid vehicles. Compliant Designs—all CalAmp designs for the past 10 years are ROHS and REACH compliant. Water Conservation—by design, our products require no water during the production process and generate no effluent. Landfill Reduction—to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, we focus on scrap reduction and reuse of materials where possible.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” each of the eight

Board of Directors Information

In evaluating the nominees for the Board of Directors, the Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee took into account the qualities they seek for directors, and the directors’ individual qualifications, skills, and background that enable the directors to effectively and productively contribute to the Board’s oversight of CalAmp. When evaluating re-nomination of existing directors, the Committee also considers the nominees’ past and ongoing effectiveness on the Board and, with the exception of Mr. Gardner, who is an employee, their independence.

In selecting the eight director nominees, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board has focused on selecting qualified, diverse, independent directors, with strong industry credentials and extensive experience, and who have exhibited leadership within the SaaS, technology, communication, logistics and transportation industries. The Board believes it has selected director nominees with diverse experiences and backgrounds who will continue to work together constructively with a focus on operational excellence, financial strength and stockholder value.

The rules also require most Nasdaq listed companies to have, or explain why they do not have, at least two diverse directors, including one who self-identifies as female and one who self-identifies as either an under-represented minority or LGBTQ+. Accordingly, we are in compliance with Nasdaq’s diversity requirement. The Board Diversity Matrix below presents the Board’s diversity statistics in the format prescribed by the Nasdaq rules.

Limit on Number of Other Public Directorships

We have a policy that limits the number of other public company boards on which our directors may serve. Under this policy, CalAmp directors who also serve as CEOs or in equivalent positions should not serve on more than two other public company boards in addition to our Board, and other directors should not serve on more than four other public company boards in addition to our Board. In light of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Cummins’ appointment to the Board and the terms of the Cooperation Agreement governing his nomination, the Board waived its overboarding policy exclusively for Mr. Cummins.

Director Stock Ownership

We have established stock ownership guidelines for non-employee directors and executive officers. Pursuant to these guidelines, non-employee directors are expected to own shares of our common stock with an aggregate acquisition date market value of at least three times the amount of the annual base retainer of $60,000. Each director is expected to come into compliance with these guidelines by the fifth anniversary of his or her appointment as a director. Each of our non-employee directors who has served for five or more years is in compliance with these requirements. The securities that count toward these stock ownership guidelines is identical to the stock ownership guidelines for executive officers, which is described on page 74.

Communication with Management

We have devoted significant effort in recent years to enhancing communication between our Board and management and have adopted the following practices to promote clear, timely and regular communication between directors and management:

Business Updates. In between Board meetings, management provides our Board with updates on our business performance on at least a quarterly basis and more often when there is a significant or unusual events impacting the business.

Meeting Agendas and Presentations. Our Chair of the Board and committee Chairs regularly communicate with management to discuss relevant meeting topics and the development of the agendas and presentation materials.

Developing Matters. In between Board meetings, directors receive prompt updates from management on developing matters affecting our company and our business.

Reference Materials. Directors also regularly receive quarterly strategy updates, securities analysts’ reports, investor communications, company publications, news articles and other reference materials.

Director Orientation and Education

All new directors participate in an extensive director orientation program. New directors engage with members of the executive team and senior management to review, among other things, our historical business and go-forward strategy, technology, finance matters (tax, treasury and accounting), internal audit and enterprise risk matters, human resources matters, corporate governance policies and practices, Global Code of Conduct and legal matters. We provide new directors with written materials to supplement the management meetings to permit them to further understand our business, industry and product portfolio. We have also implemented a mentorship program to pair new directors with longer tenured directors to facilitate a smooth transition onto our Board of Directors. Based on input from our directors, we believe our director orientation program, coupled with participation in regular Board and committee meetings, provides new directors with a strong foundation in our business, connects directors with members of management with whom they will interact and accelerates their effectiveness to engage fully in Board deliberations. Directors are provided additional orientation and educational opportunities upon acceptance of new or additional responsibilities on our Board and in committees that focus on those specific responsibilities.

Changes in Director Occupation or Status

We have a policy that requires a director to tender a letter of resignation to the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee in the event that the director’s principal occupation or business association changes substantially from the position he or she held when the director originally joined our Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee will review whether the new occupation, or retirement, of the director is consistent with the specific rationale for originally selecting that individual and the guidelines for Board membership, and will recommend action to be taken by the Board, if any, regarding the resignation based on the circumstances of the new position or retirement.

Board Leadership Structure – Independent Chair

Our Board does not have a formal policy with respect to whether the roles of the Chair of the Board (“Chair”) and the Chief Executive Officer should be separate and, if they are to be separate, whether the Chair should be selected from the non-employee directors or be an employee. However, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if the Chair is not an independent director, then the Board shall designate one independent, non-employee director to serve as a lead director. If so designated, the lead director would act as a liaison between the independent directors and management and

would be responsible for assisting the Chair in establishing the agenda for Board meetings, for coordinating the agenda for, and chairing executive sessions of the non-employee directors, and for performing such other duties as may be specified by the Board from time to time. We currently separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chair. The current Chair is Henry Maier, an independent, non-employee director. Our Board believes having an independent non-employee director serve as Chair is the appropriate leadership for CalAmp at this time because it permits our Chief Executive Officer to focus on setting our strategic direction, day-to-day leadership, and operating performance, while permitting the Chair to focus on providing guidance to the Chief Executive Officer and setting the agenda for Board meetings. Our Board also believes that the separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chair roles assists the Board in providing robust discussion and evaluation of strategic goals and objectives. However, our Board acknowledges that no single leadership model is ideal for all companies at all times. As such, our Board periodically reviews its leadership structure and may, depending on the circumstances, choose a different leadership structure in the future.

Our Board seeks to understand and oversee the most critical risks relating to our business, allocate responsibilities for the oversight of risks among the full Board and its committees, and see that management has in place effective systems and processes for managing risks facing us. Overseeing risk is an ongoing process and risk is inherently tied to our strategic decisions. Accordingly, the Board considers risk throughout the year and with respect to specific proposed actions. While the Board is responsible for oversight and direction, management is charged with identifying risk and establishing appropriate internal processes and an effective internal control environment to identify, manage and mitigate risks and to communicate information about risk to our Board. Committees of the Board also play an important role in risk oversight.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing management of risks related to our financial statements and financial reporting process, business continuity and operational risks; the qualifications, independence, and performance of our independent auditors; the performance of our internal audit function, legal and regulatory matters; and our compliance policies and procedures. In fulfilling its duties, the Audit Committee considers information from our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP.

The Human Capital Committee is responsible for overseeing management of risks related to compensation for our executive officers and our overall compensation program, including our equity-based compensation plans, as well as risks related to other human capital management matters.

The Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Committee is responsible for overseeing management of information technology infrastructure and utilization, enterprise applications, cybersecurity and data privacy risks and related programs, including, but not limited to, enterprise cybersecurity, privacy, data collection and protection and compliance with information security and data protection laws.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing ESG and governance risk, including the assessment of each member of the Board’s independence, succession planning, Board and committee evaluations, and compliance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Board of Directors’ Code of Conduct.

Director Independence

Proposal One is for the election of eight nominees, seven of whom have been determined by our Board to be independent. A director’s independence is determined by our Board pursuant to the rules of Nasdaq and applicable SEC rules and regulations. Our Board has determined that each director nominee is independent, with the exception of Jeffery Gardner, who serves as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Process of Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors


1	2	3	4

Assess Thoughtful process to develop criteria sought in directors guided by the Governance and Nominating Committee	Identify Potential nominees identified	Evaluate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews available information on prospective nominees	Nominate Board nominates directors for election by stockholders

1—Assess

Our Board, led by the Governance and Nominating Committee, evaluates the size and composition of our Board at least annually, giving consideration to evolving skills, perspectives, and experiences needed on our Board to perform its governance and oversight role as the business evolves and transforms, and the underlying risks change over time. Among other factors, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers our strategy and needs, as well as our directors’ skills, expertise, experiences, gender, race, ethnicity, tenure, and age. As part of the process, our Board assesses the skills and expertise of our current directors to then develop criteria for potential candidates to be additive and complementary to the overall composition of our Board. Specific director criteria evolve over time to reflect our strategic and business needs and the changing composition of our Board.

2—Identify

The Governance and Nominating Committee is authorized to use any methods it deems appropriate for identifying candidates for membership on our Board of Directors, including considering recommendations from stockholders and engaging the services of an outside search firm to identify suitable potential director candidates.

3—Evaluate

The Governance and Nominating Committee has established a process for evaluating director candidates that it follows regardless of who recommends a candidate for consideration. Through this process, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers a candidate’s skills and experience and other available information regarding each candidate. Following the evaluation, the Governance and Nominating Committee recommends nominees to our Board.

4—Nominate

Our Board of Directors considers the Governance and Nominating Committee’s recommended nominees, analyzes their independence and qualifications and selects nominees to be presented to our stockholders for election to our Board.

Board and Committee Meetings

The Board meets regularly during the year, and holds special meetings and acts by unanimous written consent whenever circumstances require. The policy of our Board is that all directors are encouraged to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. All of the Company’s directors attended last year’s annual meeting of stockholders. In fiscal 2023, the table below shows the number of meetings and executive sessions of the Board and its standing committees. Each director, except for Wes Cummins, attended more than 75% of the aggregate meetings of the Board and committees on which the director served.

Fiscal 2023 Board and Committee Meetings


	Number of Meetings	Number of Executive Sessions
Board of Directors	18	9
Audit Committee	6	4
Human Capital Committee	6	4
Governance & Nominating Committee	5	2
Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Committee	3	2

The independent, non-employee directors of our Board and its committees meet in executive sessions routinely and regularly. During the executive sessions, the independent, non-employee directors have access to the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management. In addition, our Audit Committee meets periodically with our independent registered public accounting firm without management present at such times as the Audit Committee deems appropriate. The Chair of the applicable Board committee, as applicable, presides over these executive sessions.

Board Evaluation

Our Board of Directors believes that it is important to assess the performance of our Board, its committees and individual directors and to solicit and act upon the feedback received. Accordingly, the Governance and Nominating Committee oversees an annual performance evaluation process. In fiscal 2023, our Board evaluation was conducted by an external advisor selected by the Governance and Nominating Committee to evaluate corporate governance and board effectiveness. This third-party facilitator met with our Chair of the Board and Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee to develop evaluation topics and process to help guide, facilitate and report on the results from the anonymous survey.

Third-party facilitator discussed evaluation results with Board leadership

The third-party facilitator discussed the feedback regarding each Board committee with the respective committee chair and discussed the overall Board evaluation results with our Chair of the Board and Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

Results discussed with the full Board and each committee

The third-party facilitator led discussions with the full Board, and each committee chair held discussions with the respective committees regarding the evaluation results.

Our Board of Directors utilizes the results of our Board and committee evaluations in making decisions on the structure of our Board, Board and committee responsibilities, agendas and meeting schedules for our Board and its committees, changes in the performance or functioning of our Board and continued service of individual directors on our Board. As a result of our annual performance evaluation process this year, enhancements have been made and are continuing to be made to Board processes and procedures, including streamlining Board presentations and materials to facilitate more effective and efficient meetings and establishing comprehensive annual Board and committee agendas to improve visibility into upcoming meeting topics throughout the year.

Contacting the Board

Our stockholders who are interested in communicating directly with our Board, any Committee of our Board, the Chair or the non-employee directors as a group may do so by sending a letter to the CalAmp Board of Directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, CalAmp Corp., 15635 Alton Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine, California, 92618. The Corporate Secretary will review the correspondence and forward it to the Board Chair, or the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Audit Committee, the Cybersecurity Committee or the Human Capital Committee, or to any individual director or group of directors of the Board to whom the communication is directed, as applicable, if the communication is relevant to CalAmp’s business and financial operations, policies and corporate philosophies.

Corporate Governance Documents

Please visit our Governance tab of our website at www.calamp.com for additional information on our corporate governance, including:

the Charters approved by the Board for the Audit Committee, the Human Capital Committee, the Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Committee (the “Cybersecurity Committee”) and the Governance and Nominating Committees;

the Corporate Governance Guidelines; and

the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

∎

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. Section 15 of the Code contains a Financial Management Code of Ethics that applies specifically to our Chief Executive Officer and all finance and accounting employees, including our senior financial officers, in accordance with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules of the SEC promulgated thereunder. In the event that the Company makes changes in, or provides waivers from, the provisions of this Code that are required to be disclosed by SEC regulations, we will disclose these events on our website.

Stockholder Engagement

We believe that effective corporate governance includes year-round engagement with our stockholders. We meet regularly with our stockholders, including both large and small investors, to discuss business strategy, performance, compensation philosophy, corporate governance, and environmental and social topics. In a typical year, we will engage with stockholders at several times a year. For instance, during calendar 2022, we participated in approximately three investor conferences via virtual teleconference during which we hosted an average of six investor meetings at each conference. Throughout each fiscal year, we facilitate quarterly conference calls with all of our sell-side coverage analysts as well as at least six to seven of our most active investors. All of the published analysts’ reports are shared with our Board of Directors after each quarters’ meetings. Additionally, we provided our Board of Directors with periodic verbal updates on the feedback we receive from our active investors. And finally, we periodically request meetings with our larger passive investors as part of various outreach programs. Although our passive investors are selective as to their willingness or desire to participate in telephonic or in-person meetings, we believe it is important to express a genuine interest to participate in active dialogue with of our larger and most tenured investors. We find it beneficial to have ongoing dialogue with our stockholders throughout the year on a full range of investor priorities (instead of engaging with stockholders only prior to our annual meeting on issues to be voted on in the proxy statement). Our direct engagement with stockholders helps us better understand our stockholders’ priorities, perspectives, and issues of concern, while giving us an opportunity to elaborate on our many initiatives and practices and to address the extent to which various aspects of these matters are (or are not) significant given the scope and nature of our operations and our existing practices. We take insights from this feedback into consideration and share them with our Board as we review and evolve our practices and disclosures.

Committees of the Board

Our Board has delegated certain of its authority to four standing committees: the Audit, Human Capital, Cybersecurity, and Governance and Nominating Committees. These Board committees operate under written charters defining their functions and responsibilities. Each committee has the authority, pursuant to its charter, to obtain advice and assistance from, and receive appropriate funding from CalAmp for, outside legal, accounting or other advisors as the committee deems necessary to assist it in the performance of its functions. The charters of these committees are available at the Governance tab on our website at www.calamp.com.

The following table provides current membership for each of our Board committees. With Amal Johnson not standing for re-election at last year’s annual meeting, the following changes were made effective July 26, 2022: (i) Mr. Maier ceased service on the Audit Committee and was appointed to the Governance and Nominating Committee; and (ii) Ms. Oulman was appointed to the Cybersecurity Committee. On September 20, 2022, Mr. Cummins was appointed to the Cybersecurity Committee.

Wolberg

The primary duties and responsibilities of our Governance and Nominating Committee are to review and make recommendations on the composition of our Board and its committees, to evaluate and recommend candidates for election to our Board, and to review and make recommendations to the Board on elections and corporate governance matters. Our Governance and Nominating Committee is also charged with succession planning and overseeing our Corporate Governance Guidelines and ESG matters. Our Board has determined that each member of the Governance and Nominating Committee is independent as defined in the rules of Nasdaq.

Our bylaws permit stockholders to nominate director candidates to stand for election to our Board at an annual meeting of stockholders. Nominations may be made by our Board or by any stockholder. Under our bylaws, a stockholder may nominate a person for election as a director at a particular stockholder meeting only if written notice has been given to us not later than 90 days or earlier than 120 days in advance of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. If the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after the anniversary of the

Company’s annual meeting for the prior year, then the notice by the stockholder must be delivered to us no earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to the annual meeting, and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to the meeting or the 10^th day after we first make a public announcement of the annual meeting date. Any stockholder nominations proposed for consideration by our Governance and Nominating Committee should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for Board membership and should be addressed to the Governance and Nominating Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, CalAmp Corp., 15635 Alton Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine, California 92618.

The policy of our Governance and Nominating Committee is to consider stockholder recommendations for directors. In evaluating such recommendations, the Governance and Nominating Committee will apply the same criteria as for all nominations, which include business experience and skills, independence, judgment, integrity, the ability to commit sufficient time and attention to Board activities and the absence of potential conflicts with CalAmp’s interests.

Our Governance and Nominating Committee from time to time reviews the appropriate skills and characteristics required of our Board members, including factors that it seeks in Board members such as diversity of business experience, viewpoints and personal background, and diversity of skills in technology, finance, marketing, international business, financial reporting and other areas that are expected to contribute to an effective Board. In evaluating potential candidates for the Board, our Governance and Nominating Committee considers these factors in the light of the specific needs of our Board at that time. Specific duties and responsibilities of the Governance and Nominating Committee include, among other things:


Board Matters		· developing and recommending to the Board the criteria for identifying and evaluating Director candidates and periodically reviewing these criteria;
		· identifying and recommending candidates to be nominated for election as Directors at our annual meeting, consistent with criteria approved by the Board; · making recommendations to the Board concerning the structure, composition and functioning of the Board and its committees;

Annual Review/Evaluation		· annually reviewing the Governance and Nominating Committee’s charter and performance; and
		· overseeing the periodic self-evaluation of the Board and its committees, including an assessment of the contributions and independence of each of the incumbent directors.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Our director cash compensation plan was established on August 1, 2012. Since that time our non-employee directors have been paid an annual retainer of $60,000. In addition, our Board and committee Chairs are paid supplemental annual retainers, which have been revised from time to time since 2012. The fiscal 2023 Board and committee Chair fees were as follows:


Board Chair	$	50,000
Audit Chair	$	25,000
Human Capital Chair	$	15,000
Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Chair	$	10,000
Governance and Nominating Chair	$	10,000

Since fiscal 2017, each non-employee director receives an annual equity grant with a fair value of approximately $128,000 in the form of shares of restricted stock, generally on the date of our annual stockholders meeting. For fiscal 2023, the annual equity grant amount was increased to $140,000. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are granted in lieu of shares of restricted stock to those directors who elect to defer their annual equity awards under the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Annual equity awards granted to our non-employee directors generally vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant or the date of our next annual stockholder meeting at which directors are elected. Under our Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”), on the day of each annual stockholders meeting at which directors are elected, each non-employee director is eligible to receive an equity award. Additionally, our Plan provides that the total aggregate value of cash compensation and equity-based awards for any non-employee director for such director’s service during any fiscal year is not to exceed $500,000.

In light of our lower stock price, and mindful of share usage under our Plan, the Human Capital Committee determined that the number of shares to be granted for the annual equity awards for non-employee directors, as well as for employees, would be based on the average of our closing stock price for the six months prior to the grant date. Thus, the annual non-employee director equity award value of $140,000 was delivered in the form of 22,913 shares of restricted stock or RSUs based on the six month average closing price of $6.11 per share, which resulted in a lower grant date fair value of $101,734 actually awarded.

The following table shows all compensation earned by, or awarded or paid to, each of our non-employee directors in fiscal 2023. Mr. Gardner, our Chief Executive Officer, is not included in this table as he was an employee of the Company in fiscal 2023 and did not receive compensation for his services as a director. All compensation paid to Mr. Gardner for the services he provided to us in fiscal 2023 is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

(A)	Represents Board annual retainer of $60,000. Also includes Board and committee Chairs supplemental annual retainers discussed above. All fees are paid quarterly in advance of the related service period, and are pro-rated for appointments and departures.

(B)

On July 26, 2022, each non-employee director received a grant of 22,913 restricted stock shares or RSUs that had a grant date fair value of $101,734 determined in accordance with ASC 718, based on the closing stock price on the date of grant of $4.44. The grant date fair value differs from the intended $140,000 grant date value due to the methodology used to convert the valuation to shares being based on the average of the closing stock price for the prior six months instead of the grant date closing stock price. RSUs are granted in lieu of shares of restricted stock to those directors who elect to defer their annual equity awards under the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

The following table shows the aggregate numbers of outstanding restricted stock and RSU awards held as of February 28, 2023 by each non-employee director.

PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Under the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of our independent auditors. In addition, the Audit Committee considers the independence of our independent auditors and participates in the selection of the independent auditor’s lead engagement partner. The Audit Committee has appointed, and, as a matter of good corporate governance, the Board is requesting ratification by the stockholders of the appointment of, the registered public accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) to serve as independent auditors for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024. Deloitte has served as our independent auditor since our 2018 fiscal year. The Audit Committee considered a number of factors in determining whether to re-engage Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, including the length of time the firm has served in this role, professional qualifications and resources, past performance, and capabilities in handling the breadth and complexity of our business, as well as the potential impact of changing independent auditors.

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of Deloitte as our independent auditor is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. If stockholders do not ratify the selection of Deloitte, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Deloitte, but still may retain them. In addition, if stockholders ratify the selection of Deloitte as independent auditors, the Audit Committee may nevertheless periodically request proposals from registered public accounting firms and as a result of such process may select Deloitte or another registered public accounting firm as our independent auditors.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent auditors
for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024.

Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to participate in the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement at the meeting if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

(1)

Audit fees were principally for audit work performed on the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, as well as quarterly reviews and statutory audits.

(2)

Tax fees were principally for services related to tax compliance and tax planning services.

Our Audit Committee pre-approved all of the foregoing services and fees in accordance with our Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy described below.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Under its charter, our Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Our Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members, and the member or members to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decision to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Our Audit Committee cannot delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to management. Our Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy includes a list of prohibited non-audit services, such as financial information systems design and implementation that the independent registered public accounting firm cannot perform for us under any circumstances.

Determination of Independence

Our Audit Committee has determined that the nature of all services provided by Deloitte are compatible with their maintenance of auditor independence.

Report of The Audit Committee

The following Audit Committee Report (“Report”) does not constitute “soliciting material” and shall not be deemed “filed” or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

The members of our Audit Committee have been appointed by our Board of Directors. Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter that was adopted by our Board in 2001. Management is responsible for preparing our financial statements and for maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In this context, the Audit Committee reviewed the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023 and discussed these financial statements with both management and Deloitte, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, including discussing with Deloitte those matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte required by the rules of the PCAOB, and has discussed with Deloitte its independence from CalAmp and management.

Based on the review and discussions as described above, and in reliance thereon, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023.

During fiscal 2023, management, assisted by the Company’s internal auditors, evaluated the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulations. The Audit Committee was kept apprised of the progress of the evaluation and provided oversight and advice to management and the internal auditor during the process. In connection with this oversight, the Audit Committee received periodic updates from management and the internal auditor at its meetings. Once the documentation, testing and evaluation were completed, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the internal auditor the assessment and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2023.

PROPOSAL 3—ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

We are asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table, and the related compensation tables and narrative in this Proxy Statement.

As described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement beginning on page 58, the Human Capital Committee and the Board have structured our executive compensation program to tie total compensation to long-term performance that supports stockholder value, as reflected primarily in our stock price. We urge stockholders to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” as well as the Summary Compensation Table and related compensation tables and narrative, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our NEOs. The Human Capital Committee and the Board believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” are effective in achieving our goals especially our pay-for-performance objectives and incentives based on stock price appreciation coupled with the compensation of our NEOs that support and contribute to our success. For these reasons and as discussed more fully in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“Resolved, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosure of this proxy statement.”

Although this vote is advisory and is not binding on the Board, our Human Capital Committee values the opinions expressed by our stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future executive compensation decisions. We currently conduct annual advisory votes on executive compensation, and we expect our next advisory vote on executive compensation will occur at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval, on an

advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our Named Executive
Officers, as described in this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 4—APPROVAL OF THE CALAMP CORP. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2004 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

At CalAmp, we recognize that our most valuable asset is our global workforce and we acknowledge that being able to offer contemporary compensation and equity award programs is vitally important for us to win in the highly competitive SaaS marketplace. All technology companies in transformation realize the critical need to acquire talent with differentiated technical expertise and unique skills, who expect and demand equity-heavy compensation, as it is a major compensation component leveraged by other technology, software and SaaS businesses. Therefore, we believe such an equity compensation program is critical for us to attract and retain qualified talent with direct SaaS experience, which is the key to unlock the door to CalAmp succeeding in its SaaS transformation and delivering the growth and value that our stockholders deserve and expect.

On May 22, 2023, our Board adopted the CalAmp Corp. Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which makes the following material changes to the existing CalAmp Corp. Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended (the “Plan”):

Increases the number of shares of common stock available by 1,449,000 shares (the “Share Reserve Increase”) to an aggregate of 14,299,000 shares, and therefore increases the number of shares which may be granted as incentive stock options under the Amended Plan, by 1,449,000 shares to an aggregate of 14,299,000 shares;

Increases the number of shares that may be granted to any employee during any fiscal year of the Company by 200,000 shares to 500,000 shares (the “Individual Employee Limit”);

Removes the Plan’s “full value” award limit, which limited the number of “full value” awards (i.e., awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) that could be granted under the Plan to awards covering 5,550,000 shares (notwithstanding the Plan’s aggregate share limit). Under the Amended Plan, the number of shares pursuant to full value awards granted on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan may be granted up to the maximum number of shares available under the Amended Plan;

Removes “liberal share-counting” provisions, such that shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligations associated with an award will not be added back into the Amended Plan’s share reserve;

Amends the definition of eligible consultants to include any individual or entity that qualifies as a consultant under the Form S-8 rules;

Clarifies the application of the minimum vesting provision; and

Extends the right to grant awards under the Amended Plan through May 22, 2033 (the “Term Extension”).

The Amended Plan, other than the Share Reserve Increase, the increased Individual Employee Limit, and the Term Extension became effective on the date the Board adopted the Amended Plan. If the Amended Plan is approved by our stockholders, the Share Reserve Increase, the increased Individual Employee Limit and the Term Extension will become effective on the date of this Annual Meeting.

A copy of the Amended Plan is attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.

Stockholder Approval

This Proposal 4 is seeking approval of the Amended Plan. In general, stockholder approval of the Share Reserve Increase is necessary in order for us to meet the stockholder approval requirements of the principal securities market on which shares of our common stock are traded, and to grant stock options in an amount covering the number of shares subject to the Share Reserve Increase that qualify as incentive stock options, as defined under Section 422 of the Code.

If stockholders do not approve this Proposal 4, the proposed additional shares under the Share Reserve Increase will not become available for issuance under the Amended Plan, and therefore the aggregate number of shares which may be granted as incentive stock options under the Amended Plan shall remain 12,850,000. In addition, if stockholders do not approve this Proposal 4, the increased Individual Employee Limit and the Term Extension under the Amended Plan will not be approved and the existing Individual Employee Limit contained in the Plan will remain in effect and the right to grant awards under the Amended Plan will be through May 28, 2030.

Proposed Share Reserve Increase

We are asking our stockholders to approve the Amended Plan because we believe the availability of an adequate reserve of shares under the Amended Plan is important to future growth and success. The purpose of the Amended Plan is to provide a flexible framework that will permit the Board to develop and implement a variety of stock-based programs based on changing needs of the Company and its competitive market. We believe it is in the best interests of our stockholders for officers, employees, and members of the Board to own stock in the Company and that such ownership will enhance our ability to attract highly qualified personnel, to strengthen our retention capabilities, to enhance our long-term performance and that of our subsidiaries, and to vest in participants a proprietary interest in the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. If the Amended Plan is not approved, we believe our recruitment and retention capabilities will be adversely affected.

The Amended Plan increases the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan by 1,449,000 shares to a total of 14,299,000 shares of common stock. To the extent we grant any awards under the Plan between May 15, 2023 and the date of this Annual Meeting, the available share reserve under the Amended Plan will be reduced from 2,956,688 shares (i.e., the remaining available reserve as of May 15, 2023 (1,507,688 shares) plus 1,449,000 shares) by the number of shares that we grant under the Plan during such period.

Background of Reasons for and the Determination of Shares Under the Amended Plan

In its determination to approve the Amended Plan, including the Share Reserve Increase, the Board was primarily motivated by a desire to ensure the Company has an available pool of shares from which to grant long-term equity incentive awards, which we believe is a primary incentive and retention mechanism for our employees, directors and consultants. In determining the number of shares by which to increase the share reserve under the Plan, the Board reviewed the recommendations of the Human Capital Committee, which were based, in part, on an analysis prepared by Pay Governance, our independent outside compensation consultant.

In determining whether to approve the Amended Plan, our Board considered the following:

The shares to be reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan represents an increase of 1,449,000 shares from the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, and the total aggregate of additional authorized shares being requested under the Amended Plan (above the shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan) represents 3.9% of our outstanding common stock on May 15, 2023.

The remaining reserve for future awards under the Plan as of February 28, 2023 was 1,089,333 shares or 2.9% of common shares outstanding as of such date. At the end of fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023, our total overhang rate attributable to the number of shares subject to equity compensation awards outstanding (calculated by dividing (1) the sum of the number of shares subject to equity awards outstanding at the end of the fiscal year plus shares remaining available for issuance for future awards at the end of the fiscal year by (2) the number of shares outstanding at the end of the fiscal year), was approximately 13.3%, 13.2%, and 13.6%, respectively, and as of May 15, 2023, it was approximately 13.3%.

If approved, the issuance of the new shares to be reserved under the Amended Plan would increase the overhang by approximately 3.9% of common shares outstanding (determined as of May 15, 2023), and total overhang (including outstanding awards and shares available for future grants under the Amended Plan) at the end of fiscal 2023 would be approximately 17.5%.

Other factors that stockholders may consider in evaluating the proposal to approve the Amended Plan include:

In fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023, equity awards representing a total of 1,885,450, 1,629,083 and 2,542,203 shares (in each case, assuming performance stock unit (PSU) awards and market stock unit (MSU) awards granted in the respective year based on the achievement of “target” performance goals), respectively, were granted under the Plan.

Our three-year average burn rate was approximately 5.0% as shown in the following table.

(3)

Reflects the aggregate amount of stock options, restricted stock and RSUs granted, and PSUs and MSUs earned as of the completion of the applicable performance period and not at the end of any subsequent the time-vesting period, as applicable.

If we exhaust current share reserves under the Plan without approval of the Amended Plan, we would lose an important compensation tool aligned with stockholder interests to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified talent.

If the Amended Plan is approved, we estimate that the proposed aggregate share reserve under the Amended Plan would be sufficient for approximately one to two years of awards, assuming we continue to grant awards consistent with our current practices and historical usage, as reflected in our historical burn rate, and projections and noting that future circumstances may require us to change our equity grant practices.

Our employees are our most valuable assets. We strive to provide them with compensation packages that are competitive, but that also incentivize personal performance, help meet our retention needs and reinforce their incentives to manage our business as owners, thereby aligning their interests with those of our stockholders. To achieve these objectives, we historically have provided a significant portion of key employees’ total compensation in the form of equity awards, the value of which depends on our Company’s financial performance and stock price. Our goal is for long-term equity awards to continue to represent a significant portion of our employees’ total compensation.

In light of the factors described above, and the fact that the ability to continue to grant equity compensation is vital to our ability to continue to attract and retain employees in the competitive labor markets in which we compete, the Board has determined that the size of the share reserve under the Amended Plan is reasonable and appropriate at this time.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the
CalAmp Corp. Amended and Restated 2004

Incentive Stock Plan.

Summary of the Amended Plan

The following sets forth a description of the material features and terms of the Amended Plan. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan, which is attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.

Purpose. The purpose of the Amended Plan is to provide a flexible framework that enables the Board to use a variety of equity-based awards based on changing needs of the Company and its competitive market. The Board and senior management believe that these equity-based awards enhance the Company’s ability to attract highly qualified personnel and strengthen its retention capabilities, and that it is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders for officers, employees and directors to own stock in the Company and that such ownership will instill in the participants a proprietary interest in the success of the Company.

Eligibility. All employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Amended Plan. As of May 15, 2023, approximately 652 individuals were eligible to participate in the Amended Plan, consisting of 7 non-employee directors, 636 employees and 9 consultants.

Administration. The Amended Plan is administered by the Human Capital Committee (the “Plan Committee”). The Plan Committee at all times must consist of two or more persons, each of whom is a member of the Board. To the extent required for transactions under the Amended Plan to qualify for the exemptions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”), members of the Plan Committee (or any subcommittee thereof) shall be “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3. The Plan Committee has full authority to administer the Amended Plan, including authority to interpret and construe any provision of the Amended Plan and the terms of any award issued under it and to adopt such rules and regulations for administering the Amended Plan as it may deem necessary or appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, administer the Amended Plan.

Award Types and Limits.

The Amended Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, RSUs, phantom stock and stock bonuses, each of which is described below. The maximum number of shares as to which stock options and stock awards may be granted under the Amended Plan would be increased from 12,850,000 shares to 14,299,000 shares if the Amended Plan is approved by stockholders. To the extent we grant any awards under the Plan between May 15, 2023 and the date of this Annual Meeting, the available share reserve under the Amended Plan will be reduced from 2,956,688 shares (i.e., the remaining available reserve as of May 15, 2023 (1,507,688 shares) plus 1,449,000 shares) by the number of shares that we grant under the Plan during such period.

If the Amended Plan is approved, then no single employee can be granted more than 500,000 shares (increased from 300,000 shares) in any fiscal year of any type of equity award issuable under the Amended Plan (options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, phantom stock or bonus stock).

The shares to be delivered under the Amended Plan will be made available from authorized but unissued shares of CalAmp common stock. If, on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan, an award is forfeited, expires or is settled for cash, any shares subject to such award may, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, be used again for new grants under the Amended Plan. Shares that again become available for issuance in accordance with the foregoing will be added back to the share limit in the same number of shares of common stock as were debited from the share reserve. All shares that again become available for issuance under the Amended Plan on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan will be available for future grants pursuant to all award types (and without regard to the “full value” award limit contained in the Plan).

However, the following shares may not be used again for grant under the Amended Plan: (i) shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligations associated with an award, (ii) shares subject to a SAR that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR on its exercise, and (iii) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options.

Stock Options. Under the terms of the Amended Plan, the exercise price for stock options must equal the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and the term of any option may not exceed 10 years. Otherwise, the Plan Committee has discretion to determine any other terms and conditions otherwise consistent with the Amended Plan, including the vesting period, provided that stock options are subject to a minimum vesting period of one year except with respect to up to five percent of the shares available for grant under the Amended Plan, which are not subject to any minimum vesting requirements. Options granted under the Amended Plan may be either incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422 of the Code or options that are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options. The exercise price of an option may be paid through various means acceptable to the Plan Committee as described in the Amended Plan.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right provides the right to the monetary equivalent of the increase in the value of a specified number of the Company’s shares over a specified period of time after the right is granted. Stock appreciation rights may be paid in stock, cash or a combination thereof. Stock appreciation rights may be granted either in tandem with or as a component of other awards granted under the Amended Plan or not in conjunction with other awards and may, but need not, relate to a specific option. Stock appreciation rights may not have a term of more than 10 years and are generally subject to the same terms and limitations as options or, when granted in tandem with other awards, to the same terms as those other awards.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock is an award of shares, the grant, issuance, retention and/or vesting of which is subject to such performance and other conditions as specified by the Plan Committee. RSUs are awards denominated in units of shares of common stock under which the issuance of shares is subject to such performance and other conditions as specified by the Plan Committee. Participants receiving restricted stock awards are entitled to the voting rights of the shares of common stock underlying the awards.

Phantom Stock. Phantom stock awards are rights to receive in cash per share of phantom stock granted, within 30 days of the date on which such share vests, an amount equal to (i) the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date on which such share of phantom stock vests, plus (ii) the aggregate dollar amount of cash dividends paid with respect to a share of common stock during the period commencing on the date on which the share of phantom stock was granted and terminating on the date on which such share vests. For avoidance of doubt, no cash dividends will be paid with respect to an award of phantom stock unless and until the underlying award vests.

Stock Bonuses. In the event that the Plan Committee grants a stock bonus, a certificate for the shares of common stock comprising such stock bonus will be issued in the name of the participant to whom such grant was made and delivered to such participant as soon as practicable after the date on which such stock bonus is payable.

Dividends/Dividend Equivalents. Any dividends declared on shares of restricted stock shall be held in escrow and shall not be paid until all restrictions on such shares have lapsed. Dividend equivalents represent the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of our common stock and may be granted alone or in tandem with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents will only be paid to the extent that the vesting conditions of the underlying award are satisfied.

Non-Employee Director Awards. Each year, on the day of the annual meeting of stockholders at which directors of the Company are elected, each non-employee director is entitled to receive an equity award. Under the provisions of the Amended Plan, the total aggregate value of cash compensation and equity-based awards for any non-employee director for such director’s service as a non-employee director during any fiscal year is $500,000. Annual equity awards to non-employee directors are granted on the day of the annual stockholders meeting and generally vest one year from the date of grant or the date of the following year’s annual stockholders meeting, whichever is sooner.

Restriction on Repricing. Absent stockholder approval, neither the Plan Committee nor the Board has the authority, with or without the consent of the affected holders of stock options or SARs, to “reprice” any stock option or SAR after the date of its initial grant with a lower exercise price in substitution for the original exercise price. In this context, “repricing” means canceling an option or SAR to issue a replacement option or SAR to the holder at a lower exercise price, reducing the exercise price of an option or SAR, canceling an option or SAR in exchange for cash or another type of equity award, or taking any other action that is treated as a “repricing” under GAAP.

Exercise Price and Manner of Exercise. The exercise price per share of stock options and SARs is determined by the Plan Committee but in no event will it be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the option or SAR is granted. Payment for shares of common stock purchased upon exercise of an option shall be made on the effective date of such exercise by one or a combination of the following means: (i) in cash, by certified check, bank cashier’s check or wire transfer; (ii) through a broker-assisted transaction whereby a broker selected and engaged by the participant sells shares in an open market transaction and remits from the sales proceeds the option exercise price and required taxes, (iii) subject to the approval of the Plan Committee, through shares retained by the Company in an amount whose fair market value is equal on the date of exercise to the exercise price, (iv) subject to the approval of the Plan Committee, in shares of common stock owned by the participant; or (v) subject to the approval of the Plan Committee, by such other provision as the Plan Committee may from time to time authorize.

Nontransferability. Upon the death of an optionee, outstanding equity awards granted to such optionee may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of the participant’s estate or by a person who shall have acquired the right to such exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

Vesting and Period of Exercisability. Subject to a minimum one year vesting period (except that up to five percent of the shares available for grant under the Amended Plan may be granted without regard to any minimum vesting requirements), options and SARs granted under the Amended Plan shall become exercisable in accordance with the terms in the applicable award agreement. The Plan Committee shall determine the expiration date of each option and SAR; provided, however, that no options or SARs shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. At the time of the grant of restricted stock, RSUs and phantom stock, the Plan Committee will establish a vesting schedule for the shares covered by the award subject to a one year minimum vesting period, except that up to five percent of the shares available for grant under the Amended Plan may be granted without regard to any minimum vesting requirements. This minimum vesting condition shall not apply in connection with a Participant’s death or disability, or in the event of a change of control.

Certain Transactions. In connection with certain transactions and events affecting our common stock, including by reason of a stock dividend or distribution, stock split-up, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, by reason of any extraordinary cash dividend, or by reason of any merger, consolidation, spinoff or other corporate reorganization in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the number of shares available for issuance both in the aggregate and with respect to each outstanding award, the exercise price or grant price and/or applicable performance goals, and annual Individual Employee Limit, shall be proportionately adjusted by the Plan Committee. The Amended Plan provides that, in the event of a “change of control” (as defined in the Amended Plan), to the extent that the surviving entity declines to continue, convert, assume or replace outstanding awards, then all such awards will become fully vested (and for performance-based awards, vested at target, unless provided otherwise in an individual agreement between the Company and a participant) and exercisable in connection with the transaction.

Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Amended Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that stockholder approval will be required if and to the extent the Board determines that such approval is appropriate for purposes of satisfying Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3 or any comparable or successor exemption under which it is appropriate for the Amended Plan to qualify, or the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market. No action may reduce the participant’s rights under any outstanding equity award without the consent of the participant. If the Amended Plan is approved, then unless earlier terminated by the Board, the right to grant awards under the Amended Plan will terminate on May 22, 2033.

Clawback. All awards are subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with applicable laws as and to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy or the award agreement.

Performance Criteria. The performance criteria for any performance-based equity award, or derivations of such performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business unit or subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually (or over such shorter period) or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established

target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Plan Committee, may include, but are not limited to, the following: revenue; revenue growth rate; gross or net profit or operating margin; gross margin improvement; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization stock compensation, equity in net income (losses) of affiliates, non-cash cost of sales on fair value write-ups of inventory, acquisition and integration expenses, and litigation provisions (Adjusted EBITDA); Adjusted EBITDA growth; operating income; pre-or after-tax income; earnings per share, net cash flow; net cash flow per share; net income; annual recurring revenue; annual recurring revenue growth; return on sales; return on equity; return on total capital; return on assets; return on net assets employed; economic value added; share price performance; total shareholder return; cash; cash net of debt; improvement in or attainment of specified cost and expense levels; improvement in or attainment of specified working capital levels; software & subscription services revenue growth; telematics products revenue growth; human capital management (including diversity and inclusion); and environmental, social or governance.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Amended Plan under current federal law, which is subject to change, are summarized in the following discussion of the general tax principles applicable to the Amended Plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other considerations, does not describe state, local, or foreign tax consequences. Tax considerations may vary from locality to locality and depending on individual circumstances.

Non-Qualified Stock Options. If a participant is granted a nonqualified stock option under the Amended Plan, the participant should not have taxable income on the grant of the option. Generally, the participant should recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise, less the exercise price paid for the shares. The participant’s basis in the common stock for purposes of determining gain or loss on a subsequent sale or disposition of such shares generally will be the fair market value of our common stock on the date the participant exercises such option. Any subsequent gain or loss will be taxable as a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss. We generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction at the time and for the same amount as the participant recognizes ordinary income.

Incentive Stock Options. A participant receiving incentive stock options should not recognize taxable income upon grant. Additionally, if applicable holding period requirements are met, the participant should not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock received over the option exercise price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise and otherwise satisfies the incentive stock option requirements, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of disposition and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to any deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the incentive stock option will be treated as one that does not meet the requirements of the Code for incentive stock options and the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the excess of the amount realized over the exercise price, but not more than the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the incentive stock option is exercised over the exercise price, with any remaining gain or loss being treated as capital gain or capital loss. We are not entitled to a tax deduction upon either the exercise of an incentive stock option or upon disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to such exercise, except to the extent that the participant recognizes ordinary income on disposition of the shares.

Other Awards. The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the Amended Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as nonqualified stock options; nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid, if any, only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant through a Section 83(b) election); RSUs, dividend equivalents, phantom stock and stock bonuses are generally subject to tax at the time of payment.

Excess Parachute Payments. Section 280G of the Code limits the deduction that the employer may take for otherwise deductible compensation payable to certain individuals if the compensation constitutes an “excess parachute payment.” Excess parachute payments arise from payments made to disqualified individuals that are in the nature of compensation

and are contingent on changes in ownership or control of the employer or certain affiliates. Accelerated vesting or payment of awards under the Amended Plan upon a change in ownership or control of the employer or its affiliates could result in excess parachute payments. In addition to the deduction limitation applicable to the employer, a disqualified individual receiving an excess parachute payment is subject to a 20% excise tax on the amount thereof. The Amended Plan does not provide for any excise tax gross-ups.

Application of Section 409A of the Code. Section 409A of the Code imposes an additional 20% tax and interest on an individual receiving non-qualified deferred compensation under a plan that fails to satisfy certain requirements. For purposes of Section 409A, “non-qualified deferred compensation” includes equity-based incentive programs, including some stock options, stock appreciation rights and RSU programs. Generally speaking, Section 409A does not apply to incentive stock options, non-discounted non-qualified stock options and appreciation rights if no deferral is provided beyond exercise, or restricted stock. The awards made pursuant to the Amended Plan are expected to be designed in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent the awards granted under the Amended Plan are not exempt from coverage. However, if the Amended Plan fails to comply with Section 409A in operation, a participant could be subject to the additional taxes and interest.

New Plan Benefits

In July 2023, our non-employee directors will each receive a grant of restricted stock or RSUs valued at approximately $140,000. Except with respect to these awards, the number of awards that our named executive officers, directors, other executive officers and other employees may receive under the Amended Plan will be determined in the discretion of our Human Capital Committee in the future, and our Human Capital Committee has not made any determination to make future grants to any persons under the Amended Plan as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received in the future by participants in the Amended Plan or the benefits that would have been received by such participants if the Amended Plan had been in effect in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023.

PROPOSAL 5—APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE CALAMP CORP. AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) currently authorizes the issuance of 80,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). On May 22, 2023, our Board adopted a resolution to amend the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to stockholder approval, by increasing the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock by 100,000,000 million shares to 180,000,000 shares (the “Share Increase Amendment”). The additional 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the proposed Share Increase Amendment would be part of the existing class of Common Stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock presently issued and outstanding. The holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or cumulative voting.

The Share Increase Amendment will not affect the number of authorized shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), which is 3,000,000 shares. Currently, there are no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

The form of the proposed Share Increase Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation setting forth the Share Increase Amendment, which would be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) if Proposal 5 is approved by stockholders, is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit B (the “Certificate Amendment”).

The following table illustrates the effect the proposed Share Increase Amendment would have on the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance, if approved by our stockholders:


	As of May 15, 2023			Upon Effectiveness of Amendment

TOTAL AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK		80,000,0000			180,000,000

Outstanding shares of Common Stock		37,529,204			37,529,204

Shares of Common Stock authorized for future issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plan		1,507,688	⁽¹⁾		2,956,688	⁽²⁾

Shares of Common Stock authorized for future issuance under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan		692,096			935,824

Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans		3,482,064			3,482,064

Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan		244,000			244,000

Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes⁽³⁾		7,480,888			7,480,888


TOTAL		50,935,940			52,628,668

SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE		29,064,060			127,371,332

(1)

Does not include shares of Common Stock that would be authorized for future issuance under the Amended Plan, as proposed for approval under Proposal 4.

(2)

Includes shares of Common Stock that would be authorized for future issuance under the Amended Plan, as proposed for approval under Proposal 4.

(3)

We have approximately $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% convertible senior unsecured notes due in 2025 (“2025 Convertible Notes”) outstanding. The current conversion rate of the 2025 Convertible Notes is 32.5256 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.75 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments.

Our Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to increase our authorized shares of Common Stock in order to have additional shares available for use as our Board deems appropriate or necessary, including the anticipated need to refinance, restructure, account for the conversion of, or finance the cash payments due upon maturity of, the 2025 Convertible Notes. As such, the primary purpose of the Share Increase Amendment is to provide the Company with greater flexibility with respect to managing its Common Stock in connection with such corporate purposes as may, from time to time, be considered advisable by our Board. These corporate purposes could include, without limitation, raising additional capital, restructuring existing indebtedness, financing activities, public or private offerings, stock dividends or splits, conversions of convertible securities, issuance of options and other equity awards pursuant to our employee benefit plans, establishing a strategic relationship with a corporate partner and acquisition transactions.

Having an increased number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would allow us to take prompt action with respect to corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of approving an increase in our capitalization. Our Board will determine whether, when and on what terms the issuance of shares of Common Stock may be warranted in connection with any of the foregoing purposes.

Other than shares that are or will be reserved for issuance under equity incentive plans and employee stock purchase plan, and shares that may become issuable upon conversion of our 2025 Convertible Notes, we do not currently have any other arrangements, agreements or understandings that would require the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock. Because our directors and executive officers have outstanding equity awards under our equity incentive plans, and may be granted additional equity awards under these plans, they may be deemed to have an indirect interest in the Share Increase Amendment.

The Share Increase Amendment will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. However, our Board will have the authority to issue authorized Common Stock without requiring future stockholder approval of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law or rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Future issuances of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, book value per share and the voting power and interest of current stockholders.

Our Board has not proposed the Share Increase Amendment with the intention of discouraging tender offers or takeover attempts of the Company. However, the availability of additional authorized shares for issuance could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult efforts to obtain control of our Company. This proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt, but nothing would prevent our Board from taking any appropriate actions not inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. We do not have a poison pill plan and have not made any non-shareholder approved repricing of our equity awards.

If our stockholders approve this proposal, then the first sentence of Article IV of our Certificate of Incorporation will be deleted and replaced in its entirety to read as follows:

“The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of capital stock, designated Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The amount of total authorized capital stock of the Corporation is 183,000,000 shares, divided into 180,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share.”

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND RELATED INFORMATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Alignment with Stockholders and Compensation Best Practices




Pay-for-Performance				Corporate Governance
· The majority of target total direct compensation for executives is performance-based as well as equity-based to align executives’ rewards with stockholder value. · Total direct compensation is targeted at or near the median of peers to ensure that it is appropriate and competitive. · Actual realized total direct compensation and pay positioning are designed to fluctuate with, and be commensurate with, actual annual and long-term performance, recognizing company-wide, business, and individual results. · Incentive awards are heavily dependent upon our stock performance and are measured against objective financial metrics that we believe link either directly or indirectly to the creation of value for our stockholders. · We balance growth, cash flow, revenue and profit objectives, as well as short- and long-term objectives to reward for overall performance that does not over-emphasize a singular focus on a particular metric or time period. · A significant portion of our long-term incentives are delivered in the form of PSUs which vest upon the achievement of performance metrics which are directly aligned with shareholder value creation. · We use an industry and size appropriate peer group to help inform our compensation decisions. · While we have not funded the cash incentive plan at maximum for 10 years, the maximum payouts under annual incentive awards are capped at 200% of bonus target.				· We devote significant time to management succession planning and leadership development efforts. · We maintain a consistent market-aligned severance policy for executives and a change in control policy which requires a double trigger for payment. · The Human Capital Committee engages an independent compensation consultant. · We have clawback provisions that provide the Board with discretion to recoup cash and equity compensation in the event of a material financial restatement or misconduct that results in material reputational harm to the Company. · We maintain strong stock ownership guidelines for executive officers and non-employee directors. · We prohibit all employees, including our executive officers, and also non-employee directors, from engaging in any form of hedging transaction involving CalAmp securities, holding CalAmp securities in margin accounts and pledging stock as collateral for loans in a manner that could create compensation-related risk for CalAmp. · We conduct a robust stockholder outreach program throughout the year and use that input to inform our executive compensation program decisions and pay practices. · We disclose our corporate performance goals and achievements relative to these goals. · We do not provide excessive perquisites to our employees, including our executive officers. · We do not allow our executives to participate in the determination of their own compensation.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of our compensation program for the NEOs during fiscal 2023 as administered by the Human Capital Committee. It also provides an overview of our executive compensation philosophy, including our principal compensation policies and practices with respect to our NEOs. Additionally, it summarizes the approach used and key factors considered by the Human Capital Committee to arrive at the specific compensation decisions for our NEOs in fiscal 2023.

Fiscal 2023 Business Overview

It was another transformational year as we navigated through the challenges of supply imbalances experienced across the global supply chain. Through this period of change and uncertainty, we remained intensely focused on expanding our technology leadership and leveraging our software and solutions portfolio for more predictable and sustained growth in new and existing global markets.

Our strategic objective to grow subscription service revenues extends beyond our end-to-end SaaS applications, as we continue to focus on opportunities to generate recurring revenue from our telematics device installed customer base. Although we experienced lower demand for certain Telematics Systems products in fiscal 2023 due to the global

pandemic and supply chain challenges, we are experiencing increased market demand and emerging catalysts driven by the 3G-to-4G technology transition that will enable us to take steps to transition certain CalAmp products to a more predictable recurring revenue subscription model.

We have been working closely with our customers and suppliers to effectively manage through the supply chain challenges while accelerating our strategic transformation to a SaaS telematics provider. As evidence of our progress, in fiscal 2023, our Software and Subscription Services (S&SS) revenue increased 20% to $185 million for the fiscal year and represented 63% of total revenue compared to $154 million or 52% of total revenue in the prior year. Further highlighting our progress, Remaining Performance Obligations, expanded to $235 million at 2023 fiscal year-end from $200 million at 2022 fiscal year-end, and our aggregate backlog declined to $264 million from $285 million in the prior year. In addition, our total subscriber count reached 1.6 million as of the end of our fiscal year, up 50% from the 1.1 million in the prior year.

We believe these financial and strategic achievements, coupled with a proven ability to execute on our long-term growth strategy, create a compelling backdrop for increased shareholder value into fiscal 2024 and beyond. We believe CalAmp is well-positioned with the scale, financial strength, and technology leadership to become a leading telematics solutions provider on the global stage.

FY 2023 Executive Compensation Summary

Our Human Capital Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors, sets the compensation of our NEOs, subject to ratification by the full Board. For fiscal 2023, the Human Capital Committee took the following actions with respect to the compensation of our NEOs:

•

Discussed the considerations and concurred with the CEO’s recommendation to increase the base salaries of the NEOs by a range of 2.5-6% over the prior year consistent with market factors and aligned with 50^th percentile our peer group of similar public companies;

•

Approved a reduction to Mr. Gardner’s base salary by $50,000 to $485,600, effective January 30, 2023 until December 31, 2023. Pursuant to Mr. Gardner’s separation agreement, Mr. Gardner’s base salary was reinstated to $535,600 effective May 10, 2023 through his Separation Date;

•

Approved cash incentive awards based on 2023 financial metrics of consolidated revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, each weighted 40%, and a qualitative assessment of individual “management by objectives” (MBO) performance, weighted 20%, each over two 6-month performance periods, weighted 40% of target for the first six-month period and 60% of target for the second six-month period. Consolidated revenue performed at 96% and 92% of target for the first and second six-month period, respectively, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA performed at 79% and 53% of target for the first and second six-month period, respectively, resulting in a total payout of 48% of target based on the actual achievement of the financial metrics for fiscal 2023. MBO percentage of target performance earned for fiscal 2023 ranged from 75% to 99% of target. Total payouts, after accounting for MBO performance, ranged from 66% to 70% of target for the first six-month period, and from 44% to 50% for the second six-month period, after weighting the payouts for the full fiscal year ranged from approximately 53% to 58% of target incentive opportunity;

Approved equity-based incentive compensation denominated 50% in RSUs or restricted stock awards and 50% in performance-based stock unit awards (PSUs) for the management team, including the NEOs, to (i) align the interests of our leaders with those of our stockholders, (ii) support ongoing retention in a highly competitive market for talent and (iii) align realizable pay and performance;

•

Approved equity-based incentive compensation at levels lower than fiscal 2022;

•

Established financial performance targets for all PSUs granted in fiscal 2023 based 70% on annual S&SS revenue growth targets, 15% on annual gross margin targets and 15% on annual EBITDA margin targets to drive these important financial metrics and align incentives around stockholder value creation and capped the share vesting threshold for over-performance during the year to 120%;

•

Approved a retention bonus and monthly salary increase in connection with Ms. Zhang serving as interim CFO;

•

Determined that the retention PSUs granted in fiscal 2022, that were eligible to be earned based on achievement of revenue targets during fiscal 2023, were not achieved based on the Company’s fiscal 2023 revenue and were forfeited;

•

Approved payout under the outstanding PSUs, which employ annual pre-determined objective financial performance metrics within a three-year performance period, based on:

(i)

for the fiscal 2023 PSUs, above target performance for the S&SS revenue growth rate goal and below threshold performance for each of the EBITDA margin goal and gross margin goal, resulting in approximately 60% of the target fiscal PSUs allocated to fiscal 2023 being earned (representing approximately 20% of the total 2023 PSUs granted); and

(ii)

for the fiscal 2022 PSUs and fiscal 2021 PSUs, above target performance for S&SS revenue growth rate goals, and below threshold performance for telematics device revenue and gross margin goals, resulting in approximately 68% of the target fiscal 2022 and 2021 PSUs allocated to fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, being earned (representing approximately 23% of the total 2022 PSUs granted and approximately 27% of total 2021 PSUs granted); and

•

Determined that the outstanding 2019 MSU awards were earned and vested as of July 24, 2022 at approximately 5% of target MSUs awarded. The MSUs were earned over a three-year performance period based on Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Index (^RUT), based on three annual measurement periods that run concurrently ending on the three-year anniversary of the grant date.

Executive Compensation and Pay-for-Performance Outcomes

Our executive compensation program is highly sensitive to company performance and aligns the actual or “realizable” pay of our executives with actual financial performance. As presented in the chart below, our CEO’s realizable pay for fiscal 2023 represented approximately 87% of target total direct compensation as a result of the decline in stock price experienced in fiscal 2023. This reflects our continued focus on aligning pay-for-performance as described in more detail as follows:

•

The payout to our CEO under our incentive cash plan for fiscal 2023 was approximately 54% of target;

•

The value of the time-based restricted stock granted to our CEO in fiscal 2023 has decreased from the date of grant; and

•

The value of the PSU awards granted to our CEO in fiscal 2023 has also decreased from the date of grant.

Compensation Philosophy and Programs

Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain executives who will contribute significantly to the long-term success of CalAmp and the enhancement of stockholder value. Consistent with this philosophy, the following goals provide a framework for the Human Capital Committee’s administration of the executive compensation program:

◾

Targeted executive compensation levels should generally be proximate to the median compensation level of comparable companies to allow us to attract and retain talented management;

◾

Annual variable compensation should reward the executives for achieving specific results on performance metrics or specific objectives that are intended to increase stockholder value over time;

◾

Total compensation opportunity for each executive should be related to overall Company performance as well as individual performance;

◾

The compensation program should align the interests of the executives with those of its stockholders; and

◾

Supplemental benefits that reward executives without regard to performance should be minimal.

Elements of Compensation

In order to achieve the above goals, the total compensation package of the NEOs includes salary, bonuses and equity-based incentive awards. Salary is set at a competitive level to attract and retain qualified candidates. Cash Incentive Awards are tied specifically to performance of the Company or a specific business unit and/or individual contributions. Equity-based incentive awards are granted in amounts that the Human Capital Committee believes are necessary to provide incentives for future performance, taking into account competitive long-term incentive practices of peer companies, responsibilities and duties of each officer, and individual performance.

The Human Capital Committee’s longstanding practice has been to grant equity awards to our NEOs that vest over a multi-year period with a portion of the awards at-risk based on performance. The Human Capital Committee and the Board believe that the use of a combination of time and performance-based equity awards help to drive long-term performance, align the interests of the NEOs with those of our stockholders, and provide a retention factor through long-term vesting. We also provide our NEOs with employee benefits that are generally available to all regular full-time employees of CalAmp. Consistent with our compensation philosophy and our focus on pay for performance, we do not provide our NEOs with any material perquisites or supplemental benefits.

Compensation-Setting Process

Role of the Human Capital Committee

The members of the Human Capital Committee have been appointed by the Board. The Human Capital Committee currently consists of three directors, all of whom are “independent directors” as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. During fiscal 2023, the members of the Human Capital Committee were Jorge Titinger, who served as Chair, Scott Arnold, and Henry Maier.

The Human Capital Committee operates under a written charter that was originally adopted by the Board in 2002 and which has subsequently been amended from time to time, most recently in April 2022. The charter of the Human Capital Committee is posted on our website at www.calamp.com.

The Human Capital Committee’s responsibilities include assisting the Board with discharging its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executives and directors and to provide general oversight of our compensation structure, including our equity compensation plans and benefits programs. The Board is responsible for the final approval of NEO compensation, though it relies heavily on the advice and recommendations of the Human Capital Committee.

Role of Management

The Human Capital Committee periodically meets with the CEO and Chief People Officer (“CPO”) to obtain information with respect to compensation programs. The CEO makes recommendations to the Human Capital Committee on the base salaries, incentive targets and measures, and equity compensation for the NEOs (other than the CEO) and other senior management. The Human Capital Committee considers, but is not bound by nor does it always accept, the CEO’s recommendations with respect to NEO compensation. Each year the Human Capital Committee also seeks input from Pay Governance, its independent compensation consultant, prior to making any final determinations. The CEO and CPO attend most of the Human Capital Committee’s meetings, but the Human Capital Committee also regularly holds executive sessions not attended by any members of management. The Human Capital Committee discusses the CEO compensation package with him, but the CEO is not present during the deliberations or voting on the CEO compensation. The Human Capital Committee has not delegated any of its authority with respect to compensation of NEOs to any member of management.

Role of the Compensation Consultant

The Human Capital Committee has the authority in its sole discretion to engage its own compensation consultants and other independent advisors to assist in creating and administering the executive compensation policies. Each year the Human Capital Committee retains the services of an independent compensation consulting firm to conduct various compensation-related studies and analyses. The independent consulting firm does not provide any other services to the Company and has received no compensation other than with respect to services provided to the Human Capital Committee. Since January 2021, the Human Capital Committee has engaged Pay Governance to assist the Human Capital Committee. During fiscal 2023, Pay Governance provided the following services to the Human Capital Committee:

•

Reviewed our executive compensation peer group;

•

Conducted a competitive market assessment of our executive compensation;

•

Reviewed peer equity practices including burn rate, overhang and equity award vesting periods;

•

Provided an update on market trends and regulatory developments impacting executive compensation; and

•

Reviewed peer practices for executive severance and change-in-control provisions.

Pursuant to the factors set forth in the SEC rules and the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standard, the Human Capital Committee has reviewed the independence of Pay Governance and conducted a conflicts of interest assessment, and has concluded that Pay Governance is independent and that its work for the Human Capital Committee has not raised any conflicts of interest.

Determination of Executive Officer Compensation for Fiscal 2023

Comparative Analysis

The Human Capital Committee engaged Pay Governance to assist the Committee in the evaluation of appropriate cash and equity compensation for the NEOs in fiscal 2023. Pay Governance, in consultation with management, prepared a competitive compensation analysis that compared the cash and equity-based compensation of the NEOs with market compensation data. Market data for the NEOs consists of compensation data derived from a public company peer group (the “Peer Group”) as reported in proxy statements and other public filings.

This Peer Group was based on targeted selection criteria that included a review of both company size and business focus. The size criteria focused primarily on revenue and market capitalization. In terms of business focus, we considered our continued transformation to a subscription-based revenue model and selected a mix of communications equipment/hardware and software-as-a-service companies that was generally consistent with our expected revenue mix. Based on these criteria, the Human Capital Committee utilized the 22 companies listed below for our fiscal 2023 Peer Group:


Communications/Other Technology Hardware		Software

* Applied Optoelectronics	* Comtech Telecomm	* 8x8, Inc.	* Ooma

* Arlo Technologies	* Digi International	* A10 Networks	* PROS Holdings

* Aviat Networks	* FARO Technologies	* Bottomline Technologies	* Synchronoss Technologies

* Avid Technology	* Harmonic	* comScore	* TrueCar

* Calix	* Inseego Corp.	* i3 Verticals	* Upland Software

* Casa Systems	* Ribbon Communications

The competitive compensation analysis for fiscal 2023 was presented by Pay Governance to the Human Capital Committee during a meeting on April 25, 2022. At this meeting, Pay Governance also presented its assessment of the Company’s executive compensation elements relative to market practices and trends.

For fiscal 2023, the Human Capital Committee removed two peer companies that were acquired in 2021 (ORBCOMM and Cornerstone OnDemand) and added three new peer companies (Ooma, Upland Software and TrueCar) that fit our selection criteria with financial and industry characteristics more similar to CalAmp.

Base Salary

Base salaries for NEOs, including that of the CEO, are set according to the responsibilities of the position, the specific skills and experience of the individual and the competitive market for executive talent. The Human Capital Committee reviews base salaries annually and makes recommendations to the Board to adjust them as appropriate to reflect changes in market conditions, individual performance and responsibilities, and the Company’s financial position. In deliberating on proposed salary adjustments and recommending changes to the Board, the Human Capital Committee considers the position relative to the market of each NEO’s proposed base salary amount, and generally targets the 50^th percentile of salaries at Peer Group companies. For fiscal 2023, the base salaries of the NEOs were increased by 2.5-6%, with a 4%

increase for the CEO, from the base salaries for fiscal 2022, as a result of the Committee’s consideration of the competitive market base salary information. The fiscal 2023 salary increases were effective April 24, 2022. The aggregate base salaries of the NEOs in fiscal 2023 were in the 25^th to 35^th percentile of market compensation as represented by the Peer Group.

Effective January 30, 2023, Mr. Gardner recommended that his base salary be reduced and the Human Capital Committee concurred and as a result Mr. Gardner’s base salary was reduced by $50,000 to $485,600 until December 31, 2023. Pursuant to Mr. Gardner’s separation agreement, Mr. Gardner’s base salary was reinstated to $535,600 effective May 10, 2023 through his Separation Date.

In connection with Ms. Zhang’s assumption of duties as Interim CFO on September 19, 2022, Ms. Zhang was provided a $10,000 per month salary stipend through the date of the appointment of our new CFO on January 9, 2023.

Base salary amounts earned during fiscal 2023 for the NEOs are shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 78.

Cash Incentive Plan

The fiscal 2023 executive officer cash incentive compensation program for our NEOs reflects the Human Capital Committee’s belief that a meaningful component of executive compensation should be contingent on the financial performance of the Company. The aggregate value of target total cash compensation (base salary and target bonus) for our NEOs is generally set to approximate the 50^th percentile of the total cash compensation opportunity for Peer Group companies, with the intent that superior performance under the cash incentive plan would enable each NEO to elevate total cash compensation to a level that is above the 50^th percentile. Similarly, if performance results are below expectations, the structure of the cash incentive plan would result in the NEOs receiving total cash compensation below the 50^th percentile. Based on the Pay Governance report of April 2022, target total cash for our executives, other than our CEO, averaged the 43^rd percentile, while our CEO target total cash was at the 25^th percentile, as compared to our Peer Group. As a result of CalAmp not meeting the fiscal 2023 performance targets for consolidated revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, the aggregate total cash compensation for fiscal 2023 was below these percentiles.

Target incentive payout is based on the percentage of base salary established by the Human Capital Committee for each NEO, with 85% of target earned for threshold performance, 100% for target performance and 200% of target earned for maximum performance. The following table illustrates potential payouts as a percentage of the NEO’s base salary at these performance metrics:


	Incentive Amounts as a % of Base Salary
	Threshold			Target			Maximum

President and CEO		85	%		100	%		200%

Former Executive VP and CFO		64	%		75	%		150%

SVP and CFO(1)		60	%		70	%		140%

Former Interim CFO		34	%		40	%		80%

Former SVP and CTO		55	%		65	%		130%

SVP and CRO(2)		-			-			-

SVP and CLO		43	%		50	%		100%

(1) Pursuant to Mr. Kim’s offer letter in January 2023, Mr. Kim was eligible to receive a guaranteed 2023 fiscal year bonus of not less than $49,583.

(2) For the 2023 fiscal year, Mr. Carson’s target incentive bonus was not based on a percentage of his base salary. Mr. Carson was eligible to receive a guaranteed bonus for the second and third quarters of the fiscal year equal to $81,250 per quarter, as well as a cash incentive payment for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year equal to $81,250 based on the achievement of certain revenue performance objectives, as described further below.

On April 26, 2022, the Human Capital Committee recommended, and the Board approved, the fiscal 2023 cash incentive compensation program, including weighting factors, target incentive amounts as a percentage of base salary and quantitative goals. The cash incentive program is divided into two separate measurement periods—the six-month period ended August 31, 2022 and the six-month period ended February 28, 2023. The first six months’ performance is weighted at 40% and the second six months’ performance is weighted at 60% for determining the incentive payout earned for the full fiscal year. The quantitative goals for the fiscal 2023 cash incentive program were consolidated revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA with separate pre-determined goals for each six-month period that correlated to our fiscal 2023 Annual Operating Plan (“AOP”), with the weighting of these financial measures at 40% each. The remaining 20% per period was based on achievement of management qualitative MBOs proposed by the CEO for each of his direct reports, and for the CEO by the Human Capital Committee, and were provided in an effort to align management objectives with the Company’s transformation to a SaaS enterprise. This results in weighting factors in the first six-month performance period, to 16% for each of consolidated revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and 8% for the qualitative management MBOs, and in the second six-month performance period to 24% for each of consolidated revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and 12% for the qualitative management MBOs. For fiscal 2023, the Human Capital Committee determined that no above-target payouts could be made for the first six-month period unless and until the second-six month period performed at target. Adjusted EBITDA is the same metric as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 28, 2023, with reconciliation disclosed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements included therein.

Mr. Brennen Carson, our SVP and CRO, who was hired in June 2022, did not participate in our cash incentive program. Upon hiring he was provided a guaranteed bonus for the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2023 equal to $81,250 per quarter, or $162,500. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, he also was eligible to receive an incentive cash payment with a target incentive of $81,250 based on an annual revenue target of $78,000,000 (weighted at 90%) and an EBITDA target of $10,500,000 (weighted at 10%), in each case, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. These financial performance targets also included certain accelerators for the addition of new customer logos.

The Human Capital Committee believes that the cash incentive plan structure rewards the NEOs for achievement of quantitative goals and provides limited downside protection in the event of performance that is close to, but below, the target level. For fiscal 2023, the quantitative goals at the target level were set equal to consolidated revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA consistent with the fiscal 2023 AOP and is generally consistent with the methodology used for the cash incentive plans of previous years. Quantitative goals at the threshold and maximum performance levels were determined by varying the goal amounts up or down from the projected consolidated revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA amounts shown in the fiscal 2023 AOP for the respective performance periods. The AOP is typically established by management and approved by the Board at the beginning of each fiscal year and reflects performance levels that the Board feels are challenging but achievable with significant effort. The fiscal 2023 AOP was approved in February 2022. As a general matter of practice, maximum levels for each measure are generally set as to represent both extremely challenging performance goals and outstanding achievement. As a frame of reference, in the 10-year period through fiscal 2023, the consolidated revenue maximum levels in the NEOs’ cash incentive plans were not exceeded in any year, and the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA maximum levels were exceeded only once, in fiscal year 2013. Payouts are prorated on a straight-line basis for achievement between the threshold and target levels or the target and maximum levels. If the Company does not achieve above the threshold performance level for a measure, no payout is made for that measure. The fiscal 2023 financial quantitative goals, weighted 40% each, were as follows ($ in millions):


Performance goals for the six months ended August 31, 2022:
Description	Threshold		Target		Maximum
Consolidated Revenue	$	123.76	$	143.91	$	181.32
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA	$	6.44	$	8.48	$	11.5


Performance goals for the six months ended February 28, 2023:
Description	Threshold		Target		Maximum
Consolidated Revenue	$	147.14	$	171.09	$	215.58
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA	$	16.42	$	21.61	$	29.39

Threshold performance results in 50% payout and maximum performance results in 200% payout earned as to each measure, with 5 payout ranges (increasing 25%) between correlating to the performance achieved. No amounts are paid for below threshold performance. Threshold for consolidated revenue was established at 86% of target performance and threshold for Adjusted EBITDA was established at 76% of target performance.

For the six month period ended August 31, 2022, the Company was below the targets for both actual consolidated revenue (96% of target performance) and actual Adjusted EBITDA (79% of target performance). For the six month period ended February 28, 2023, the Company was below the targets for both actual consolidated revenue (92% of target performance) and Adjusted EBITDA (53% of target performance). This resulted in a weighted percentage of target earned for the financial metrics for the full fiscal year 2023 (based on 40% weighting for the first six-month period and 60% weighting for the second six-month period) of approximately 93% for consolidated revenue and 63% for consolidated Adjusted EBITDA resulting in a total payout of 48% of target incentive based on the financial metrics.

The following table summarizes the financial targets compared to the actual results for the respective performance periods ($ in millions):


Description	Target		Actual		Percentage of Target Incentive Earned (before weighting)

Performance target for the six months ended August 31, 2022:

Consolidated Revenue	$	143.91	$	137.55		75%

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA	$	8.48	$	6.66		50%

Performance target for the six months ended February 28, 2023:

Consolidated Revenue	$	171.09	$	157.39		75%

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA	$	21.61	$	11.41		0%

For the six month period ended August 31, 2022, the qualitative management MBOs were achieved between 80-100% of target, and for the six month period ended February 28, 2023, the qualitative management MBOs were achieved at 71-98% of target.

The actual cash incentive plan payouts to the NEOs (other than Mr. Carson) ranged from 52.9% to 57.8% of the target incentive amounts in each case, as shown in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan (Bonus Plan)” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 78. During the fiscal year, there were no adjustments to any of the performance metrics or the weighting of the performance metrics as approved by the Human Capital Committee for each of the two performance periods.

With respect to Mr. Carson’s fourth quarter incentive bonus targets, the applicable annual revenue achieved was above target at $78,295,000 and EBITDA was below target at $6,180,000, in each case, with respect to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, which resulted in an achievement equal to 108% of target for the fourth quarter.

Retention Performance-based Cash Award

In August 2022, the Board approved a special performance bonus for Mr. Binder, pursuant to which Mr. Binder would receive a one-time cash bonus in the amount of $150,000 upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions, contingent upon his continued employment through February 28, 2023. Mr. Binder’s employment with the Company terminated effective September 30, 2022, and as such he was not entitled to receive the retention cash award.

Fiscal 2022 Retention Cash Award

In addition, in February 2022, the Human Capital Committee approved a retention cash award to Messrs. Binder, Rau and Scott in the amount of $100,000, $50,000 and $50,000, respectively, that was payable contingent upon the executive remaining employed by the Company through February 28, 2023. Mr. Binder’s employment with the Company terminated effective September 30, 2022, and as such he was not entitled to receive the retention cash award. Messrs. Rau and Scott both received the retention cash award based on their continued employment through February 28, 2023.

Sign-On, Promotion and Patent Bonuses

In connection with their commencement of employment with the Company, Messrs. Kim and Carson each received a one-time sign on bonus of $175,000 and $75,000, respectively. Additionally, in connection with a patent filing on behalf of the Company, Mr. Rau received a $1,000 bonus in April 2022.

In connection with Mr. Binder’s resignation from his position as Executive VP and CFO, and Ms. Zhang’s appointment as Interim CFO, Ms. Zhang was awarded a retention bonus of $80,000, provided that she remain employed with the Company through April 30, 2023.

The forgoing bonuses are not treated as a recurring component of compensation.

2023 Equity Awards

The Human Capital Committee believes that equity compensation plans are essential tools to (i) align the long-term interests of our stockholders and employees particularly members of executive management, (ii) serve to motivate the NEOs to make decisions that will provide the best long-term returns to stockholders, and (iii) provide the NEOs with a strong incentive to remain with CalAmp over time. The Human Capital Committee also believes that equity awards remain an essential element of a competitive compensation package, given that such plans are offered currently by most public and private technology companies that we compete against for both executive and non-executive talent.

In determining the size of the equity awards to be granted to NEOs, the Human Capital Committee first establishes the total fair value of equity awards for each NEO by reference to prevailing market compensation levels for comparable positions and other factors as discussed in the following paragraph. The Human Capital Committee next considers the apportionment of the total equity award value between stock awards, options and performance-based awards. For the past three fiscal years, the Committee used a value allocation for time-vested stock awards and performance-based equity awards of 50% and 50%, respectively in order to align the interests of our executives with our stockholders. The time-vested stock awards vest over a period of three years.

At a meeting of the Human Capital Committee held on July 25, 2022, the CEO presented proposed equity award allocations for the NEOs. During this meeting, the Human Capital Committee considered the information on total direct compensation (total cash and equity compensation) and long-term incentive practices contained in the fiscal 2023 competitive compensation assessment described above that compared the compensation of the Company’s NEOs with compensation data from the Peer Group companies. In evaluating the proposed executive officer equity awards for fiscal 2023, the Human Capital Committee also considered factors such as the ratio of proposed equity awards for NEOs and non-executive officer employees, the prevailing stock price, share dilution under our 2004 Incentive Stock Plan, estimates of stock compensation expense, longevity projections of the equity award plan pool of available units, equity award ‘burn rate’ estimates, the Human Capital Committee’s assessment of progress on important strategic initiatives such as those described on page 60 under the heading “Fiscal 2023 Business Overview,” and the April 2022 report provided by Pay Governance showing target long-term equity values of our CEO at the 40^th percentile, and of our other NEOs at an average of 60^th percentile, of our Peer Group.

The Human Capital Committee intended to approve equity award allocations that were identical to the fiscal 2022 allocation for the CEO, and identical to or slightly below the fiscal 2022 allocations for the remaining NEOs. However, in light of our lower stock price, and mindful of share usage under our 2004 Incentive Stock Plan, the Human Capital Committee determined that the number of shares to be granted for the fiscal 2023 annual equity awards would be based on the average of our closing stock price for the six months prior to the grant date (of $6.11) instead of the closing price of our common stock on the grant date (of $4.44), which resulted in a lower grant value than that of fiscal 2022.

In addition, in connection with their commencement of employment with the Company, Messrs. Kim and Carson each received initial awards of 265,008 shares of restricted stock and 50,004 RSUs, respectively. Such equity awards vest 33.33% on the first anniversary of the grant date, and 8.33% vest quarterly thereafter, subject to continued service through the vesting date.

The PSUs granted to each NEO are allocated or weighted based on the relative importance of each performance metric towards stock price appreciation or shareholder value creation as determined by the Human Capital Committee. The PSUs vest upon achievement of the following pre-determined financial metrics: organic revenue growth for our Software & Subscription Services, weighted 70%, EBITDA margin, weighted 15%, and gross margin, weighted 15%. The PSUs are earned ranging from 75% of target shares with threshold performance and 120% of target shares with maximum performance, based on the following ranges of actual performance against the goals for each financial performance metric.



Performance Goal Percentage Achievement		Percentage of Shares Earned

111%—115%		120%

106%—110%		114%

103%—105%		107%

98%—102%		100%

93%—97%		90%

88%—92%		85%

82%—87%		80%

77%—81%		75%

< 77%		0%

The proposed performance metric weighting, financial metrics, performance periods and percentages earned per performance period are summarized as follows:


				Target Metrics—PSU Vesting Provisions
	Performance Metric Weighting			Twelve months ended									Cumulative Three Year period ended February 28, 2026
				February 28, 2023			February 28, 2024			February 28, 2025
				33% of Target Number of PSUs			33% of Target Number of PSUs			33% of Target Number of PSUs

S&SS revenue growth rate		70	%		30	%		12	%		15	%		70	%

EBITDA margin		15	%		10	%		14	%		16	%		18	%

Gross margin		15	%		42	%		44	%		46	%		48	%

This S&SS revenue growth percentage target is based off of growth over actual performance for the prior fiscal year. The awards have four measurement periods consisting of the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2023, the twelve-month period ending February 29, 2024 and the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2025, with a final “catch up” measurement period defined as the three-year period ending February 28, 2026 to reward the NEOs for sustained, longer term performance. One-third of the target number of PSUs is eligible to be earned in each of the three annual measurement periods. Any target PSUs that are not earned based on achieving below target performance as of the end of the applicable annual measurement period are eligible to vest in the final three-year “catch up” measurement period ending February 28, 2026. The final three-year catch up measurement period has a separate pre-established cumulative goal. All equity awards that remain unvested after the final cumulative performance period are deemed forfeited by the executive. The program reserves discretion for the Human Capital Committee to adjust the payout, but no such discretion has been exercised with any of the PSUs.

Based on the Company’s actual performance for the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2023, S&SS revenue growth rate performed at 92% of target (yielding 85% earned before weighting), EBITDA margin was 6.1% (yielding 0% earned before weighting) and gross margin percentage was 36.9% (yielding 0% earned before weighting), resulting in approximately 60% of target fiscal 2023 PSUs earned, which when multiplied by the one-third of PSUs granted and allocated to each performance period, results in approximately 20% of target PSUs vesting and converting to shares issued based on fiscal 2023 performance. These vested amounts are reflected in the Stock Vested table below on page

84. Given below target performance under each of the S&SS revenue growth rate, EBITDA margin and growth margin performance metrics for fiscal 2023, 4.7%, 5% and 5% of unearned PSUs allocated for target performance under each of these measures for fiscal 2023, respectively, are still considered outstanding and can be earned during the catch up cumulative three-year measurement period that ends February 28, 2026 based on performance under these measures against the goals for that period.

Additionally, with respect to the fiscal 2023 PSUs, the Human Capital Committee approved that such PSUs are eligible for accelerated vesting in connection with a qualifying termination of employment, including in connection with a change in control, as further described under “Employment Contracts and Severance and Change-In-Control Arrangements – Performance Stock Unit Awards” beginning on page 86.

Vesting of Equity Awards Granted Prior to Fiscal Year 2023

2019 MSUs

On July 24, 2019, the Company granted MSU awards pursuant to a three-year Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) plan, in which our stock price performance was benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Index (^RUT) over three measurement periods that run concurrently: the twelve-month period ending on the one-year anniversary of the grant date; the 24-month period ending on the two-year anniversary of the grant date; and the 36-month period ending on the three-year anniversary of the grant date. One-third of the target number of PSUs is eligible to be earned in each of the three measurement periods. To be issued, PSUs must be both earned and vested. Earned PSUs do not vest until the end of the 36-month measurement period. TSR performance at or greater than benchmark TSR earns all target awards allocated to such period(s), while underperformance is subject to downside scaling to the extent that the Company’s TSR is below benchmark TSR at the end of the applicable measurement period.

Based on our actual TSR for the 36-month period ending July 24, 2022 of -60.7%, the NEOs earned none of their target 2019 MSUs for the final three-year performance period. Our actual TSR for the 24-month period ending July 24, 2021, resulted in less than 1% of the MSUs being earned, and our actual TSR for the twelve-month period ending July 24, 2020, resulted in 5% of the MSUs being earned, for the applicable performance period, for a total of approximately 5% of the MSUs being earned and vested as of July 24, 2022. These amounts are reflected in the Stock Vested table below on page 84.

Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022 PSUs

On July 29, 2020, the Human Capital Committee granted fiscal 2021 PSU awards, and on July 28, 2021, the Human Capital Committee granted fiscal 2022 PSU awards, pursuant to which the PSUs vest upon achievement of pre-determined financial metrics regarding organic revenue growth for our Software & Subscription Services and Telematics Devices as well as gross margin. The awards are substantially similar to the fiscal 2023 awards, except with respect to the performance goals.

The fiscal 2021 PSUs have four measurement periods consisting of the six-month period ended February 28, 2021, the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2022, and the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2023 with a final measurement period defined as the three-year period ending February 29, 2024 to reward the executives for sustained, longer term performance. The performance metric weighting, financial metrics, performance periods and percentage earned per performance period for the 2021 PSUs are summarized as follows:


				Target Metrics—PSU Vesting Provisions
	Performance Metric Weighting			Six months ended February 28, 2021			Twelve months ended						Cumulative Three Year period ended February 29, 2024
				Six months ended February 28, 2021			February 28, 2022			February 28, 2023
				20% of Target Number of PSUs			40% of Target Number of PSUs			40% of Target Number of PSUs
S&SS revenue growth rate		60	%		7	%		10	%		12	%		42	%
Telematics device revenue growth rate		20	%		0	%		1	%		2	%		6	%
Gross margin percentage		20	%		38.5	%		40.0	%		42.0	%		44.0	%

The fiscal 2022 PSUs have four measurement periods consisting of the six-month period ended February 28, 2022, the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2023, and the twelve-month period ending February 29, 2024 with a final measurement period defined as the three-year period ending February 28, 2025 to reward the executives for sustained, longer term performance. The performance metric weighting, financial metrics, performance periods and percentage earned per performance period for the 2022 PSUs are summarized as follows:


				Target Metrics—PSU Vesting Provisions
	Performance Metric Weighting			Six months ended February 28, 2022 33% of Target Number of PSUs			Twelve months ended						Cumulative Three Year period ended February 28, 2025
	Performance Metric Weighting						February 28, 2023 33% of Target Number of PSUs			February 28, 2024 33% of Target Number of PSUs			Cumulative Three Year period ended February 28, 2025

S&SS revenue growth rate		60	%		10	%		12	%		15	%		50	%

Telematics device revenue growth rate		20	%		1	%		2	%		3	%		6	%

Gross margin percentage		20	%		40	%		42	%		44	%		46	%

The fiscal 2023 goals for the fiscal 2021 PSUs and the fiscal 2022 PSUs are identical. Based on the Company’s actual performance for the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2023, S&SS revenue growth rate performed at 107% of target (yielding 114% earned before weighting), telematics device revenue growth rate performed at 76% of target (yielding 0% earned before weighting) and gross margin percentage was 36.9% (yielding 0% earned before weighting), resulting in approximately 68% of target fiscal 2021 PSUs and fiscal 2022 PSUs earned, after weighting, for the fiscal 2023 performance period (representing approximately 23% of the total fiscal 2022 PSUs granted and 27% of total fiscal 2021 PSUs granted).

Given below target performance under each of the telematics device revenue and gross margin percentage performance metrics for fiscal 2023, the 20% of unearned PSUs allocated for target performance under each of these measures for fiscal 2023, aggregating 13.2% (6.6% per metric) of fiscal 2021 PSUs granted and 16% (8% per metric) of fiscal 2022 PSUs granted are still considered outstanding and can be earned during the catch up cumulative measurement period based on performance under these measures against the goals for that period. For the fiscal 2021 PSUs, the percentage of unearned PSUs from the six-month period ending February 28, 2021, and the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2022, are 0% and 2%, respectively, which when combined with the vesting for fiscal 2023, yields 15.6% of fiscal 2021 PSUs granted that may be earned based on cumulative performance over the three-year period ending February 29, 2024. For the fiscal 2022 PSUs, the percentage of unearned PSUs from the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2022, is 0% and 2%, respectively, which when combined with the vesting for fiscal 2023, yields 20% of fiscal 2022 PSUs granted that may be earned based on cumulative performance over the three-year period ending February 28, 2025. Of our NEOs, only Messrs. Gardner, Rau and Scott held catch-up PSUs as of fiscal year end. Mr. Rau forfeited his PSUs in connection with his separation in March 2023, and Mr. Garner will forfeit all PSUs upon his Separation Date.

Fiscal 2022 Retention PSU Awards

In an effort to ensure that the management team, who are instrumental in the Company’s transformational goals, remained retained by the Company and motivated to deliver superior returns to stockholders in the future, in fiscal 2022, the Human Capital Committee approved one-time grants of PSU awards to Messrs. Binder, Rau and Scott of 50,000 PSUs, 40,000 PSUs and 25,000 PSUs, respectively, pursuant to which all of the shares vest upon achievement of no less than 97.5% of the approved revenue target for fiscal 2023 consistent with the fiscal 2023 AOP, and 50% of the shares vest upon achievement of no less than 95% and up to 97.5% of such approved revenue target. These awards have a single measurement period consisting of the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2023. The Company failed to achieve 95% of the approved revenue target, and these awards were forfeited in their entirety.

Elimination of “Catch Up” Measurement Period for Fiscal 2024 PSU Awards

In May 2023, the Human Capital Committee determined that the 2024 PSU awards will not have a “catch up” feature and associated cumulative performance period that is a feature in our outstanding PSUs. As such, there will be no ability to subsequently earn PSUs that were not earned during the applicable annual performance period.

Equity Award Practices

The Human Capital Committee or the Board approves all equity awards granted to NEOs and other employees in accordance with our Equity Award Guidelines. Time-based equity awards, typically consisting of RSUs and restricted stock are generally granted when a key employee, including an NEO, joins the Company, and on an annual basis thereafter. These NEO and key employee equity awards typically vest over a three-year period. In addition, the Human Capital Committee introduced the use of 50% performance-based equity awards for the NEOs in fiscal 2015 and has continued to use performance-based awards each year since that time. For more than 10 years, it has been a practice to make annual equity award grants to NEOs and key employees on the day of the annual meeting of stockholders, at the same time that equity awards are made to non-employee directors pursuant to the provisions of the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan. The annual meeting of stockholders is typically held during the last week of July on a date established at least three months in advance.

In May 2023, in order to avoid vesting dates occurring during closed trading windows and to ensure consistent grant dates that are sufficiently distanced from the general release of quarterly and financial information, the Human Capital Committee amended and restated the Company’s Equity Award Guidelines to provide that the annual equity award grant date for all employees shall be August 5^th of each year, and all grant dates for non-annual equity awards to employees, including our executive officers, made in connection with promotions, new hires or otherwise, shall occur on the 5^th day of the month following such event, subject to approval by the Human Capital Committee and/or Board, as applicable, occurring on or before such grant date.

The Human Capital Committee has delegated to the CEO and CFO the authority to approve equity awards for newly hired employees, newly promoted employees, and annual equity awards for employees other than NEOs and senior management, provided that such awards do not exceed the fair value range indicated in this policy statement. Equity awards approved by the CEO or CFO pursuant to this delegation of authority are subject to Company’s Equity Award Guidelines, as amended and restated in May 2023, and are reported to the Committee at its quarterly meetings.

The size of an initial equity award to an NEO is based upon the position, responsibilities and expected contribution of the individual, with subsequent grants also taking into account the individual’s performance and potential contributions. In establishing the amount and type of equity awards to the NEOs, the Human Capital Committee takes into consideration each NEO’s duties and responsibilities, individual performance and the competitive compensation analysis in which the NEO’s total direct compensation is benchmarked against market data. The Human Capital Committee also takes into consideration the equity award burn rate in relation to industry benchmarks published by Institutional Shareholder Services and the financial statement impact of proposed equity awards.

Fiscal 2022 “Say-on-Pay” Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

At last year’s annual meeting of stockholders, approximately 94% of the votes cast in the “Say-on-Pay” advisory vote were “FOR” approval of the Company’s Say-on-Pay proposal. The Human Capital Committee evaluated the results of the fiscal 2022 advisory vote together with the other factors and data discussed in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis in determining executive compensation policies and decisions. The Human Capital Committee is committed to continuing the best pay practices and pay-for-performance approach to executive compensation that has resulted in consistently high stockholder support. To that end, the Human Capital Committee considered the vote results and did not make changes to the Company’s executive compensation policies and decisions as a result of the fiscal 2022 advisory vote.

Executive Officer Stock Ownership Guidelines and Equity Holding Period

The Human Capital Committee has adopted minimum stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers, including the NEOs. For the CEO, the guideline stock ownership amount is 2.5 times annual base salary, and for the other NEOs, the guideline stock ownership amount is 1.5 times annual base salary. The market value of the stock on the date of acquisition serves as the basis for determining compliance with the guidelines. Each executive officer is expected to come into compliance with these guidelines no later than the fifth anniversary of his or her appointment as an executive

officer, or for an executive who is appointed as the CEO, he or she shall come into compliance with the increased stock ownership guidelines (e.g., 2.5 times rather than 1.5 times) no later than the fifth anniversary of his or her advancement to such position. For purposes of these guidelines, shares of the Company’s common stock that count toward satisfaction of the ownership requirements include: (1) issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock that are not subject to pledging restrictions and either are fully vested or vest solely based on the passage of time, and (2) shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding RSU awards (including deferred RSU awards) that are fully vested, or vest solely based on the passage of time. At the end of fiscal 2023, all NEOs who were required to be in compliance were in compliance with these stock ownership guidelines.

The Company does not currently have a policy that specifies a minimum holding period for stock acquired by the NEOs as a result of equity awards. The Board believes that the NEO stock ownership guidelines are competitive and support the objective of ensuring that the NEOs maintain a meaningful ownership interest in CalAmp and are aligned with our stockholders over the long term.

Retirement Benefits / Deferred Compensation

The Company does not provide retirement benefits to any of its employees, including the NEOs, other than a 401(k) plan that is open to all regular, full-time U.S. employees and a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which the NEOs, certain other management employees and non-employee directors are eligible to participate. The 401(k) plan is a tax-qualified retirement savings plan pursuant to which all U.S. employees, including the NEOs, are permitted to contribute up to the limit prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service on a before-tax basis. We match dollar-for-dollar of the first 3% of pay contributed and one-half of the next 2% of pay contributed to the 401(k) plan each year. The nonqualified deferred compensation plan is described under “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” on page 85.

Compensation Recovery Policy

We maintain a compensation recovery policy (claw-back policy) allowing us to require the repayment or forfeiture of any cash or equity incentive compensation paid or granted to an NEO where the payment, grant or vesting of such compensation or award was based on the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a financial restatement and where that NEO was found to have engaged in fraud or willful misconduct which caused, or materially contributed to, the need for such restatement. In addition to the foregoing, our CEO and CFO are subject to the compensation recovery provisions of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In light of rules recently issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding claw-back policies, we expect to review our claw-back policy in 2023 and determine whether any updates to our policy are warranted.

Severance and Change in Control Payments

The Company’s Board has provided the NEOs with severance and change in control arrangements in order to promote stability and continuity, and to mitigate a potential disincentive for the executives to pursue and execute an acquisition of the Company, particularly where the services of these NEOs may not be required by the acquirer. For a more detailed description of the severance and change in control benefits provided to our NEOs, please see the discussion under “Employment Contracts and Severance and Change-In-Control Arrangements” beginning on page 86.

Other Compensation

Other elements of executive compensation include life insurance, long-term disability insurance and health benefits. These benefits are also available to all regular, full-time U.S. employees, except that the Company pays the entire disability and health insurance premiums for the NEOs. The NEOs are also covered by a supplemental medical insurance program that reimburses the NEO for out-of-pocket eligible medical costs up to an annual family limit of $100,000 per NEO, which is offered in order to provide market-competitive compensation to the NEOs. The Company payments for the NEOs pursuant to these other elements of compensation in fiscal 2023 are included in the “All Other Compensation” column in the Summary Compensation Table on page 78.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1.0 million in any taxable year to its “covered employees.” Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, covered employees generally consisted of a corporation’s chief executive officer and each of its other three highest compensated officers, other than its chief financial officer, and remuneration that qualified as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of the Code was exempt from this $1.0 million deduction limitation. As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the ability to rely on this exemption was, with certain limited exceptions with respect to grandfathered awards, eliminated; while the determination of the covered employees was generally expanded. As a result of the repeal of the performance-based compensation exception to Section 162(m) of the Code, other than with respect to grandfathered awards, we may not be able to take a deduction for any compensation in excess of $1.0 million that is paid to a covered employee.

Taxation of Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Section 409A of the Code requires that amounts that qualify as “nonqualified deferred compensation” satisfy requirements with respect to the timing of deferral elections, timing of payments, and certain other matters. Generally, the Human Capital Committee intends to administer our executive compensation program and design individual compensation components, as well as the compensation plans and arrangements for our employees, so that they are either exempt from, or satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.

Taxation of “Parachute” Payments

Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that executive officers, individuals who hold significant equity interests and certain other service providers may be subject to significant additional taxes if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control that exceeds certain prescribed limits, and that the payor may forfeit a deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. We are not obligated to provide any NEO with a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment for any tax liability that he or she may owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G or 4999 in the event of a change in control of CalAmp.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Human Capital Committee takes accounting considerations into account in designing compensation plans and arrangements for our NEOs and other employees. The principal guidance regarding stock-based compensation is Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC Topic 718”), the standard which governs the accounting treatment of stock-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires us to recognize in our financial statements all share-based payment awards to employees, including grants of options to purchase shares of our common stock and restricted stock awards that may be settled for shares of our common stock to our NEOs, based on their fair values. For certain performance-based stock awards, we also must apply judgment in determining the periods when and if, the achievement of the related performance targets becomes probable. ASC Topic 718 also requires us to recognize the compensation cost of our share-based payment awards in our income statement over the period that an employee, including our NEOs, is required to render service in exchange for the award (which, generally, will correspond to the award’s vesting schedule).

Hedging and Pledging Practices

The Company prohibits short sales and transactions in derivatives of our securities, including any form of hedging transactions involving CalAmp securities, for all employees, including our NEOs, and non-employee directors. In addition, NEOs and directors are strongly discouraged from holding CalAmp securities in margin accounts or pledging CalAmp securities as collateral for loans in a manner that could create compensation-related risk for CalAmp.

(1) The grant date fair value of equity awards is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718 for stock-based compensation and excludes the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The assumptions used with respect to the valuation of equity awards are set forth in Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 28, 2023. The actual amounts realized by the NEOs may be higher or lower than the equity award fair values shown in this table.

(2) This column includes PSU awards and time-based RSUs and restricted stock awards granted in fiscal 2023. The fair value of the PSU awards and time-based RSUs and restricted stock awards is calculated as the number of shares awarded multiplied by the closing stock price on the grant date. In fiscal 2023, the executive officers were granted PSU awards pursuant to which the PSUs vest upon achievement of pre-determined financial metrics including revenue growth for Software & Subscription Services, EBITDA margin and gross margin. The performance criteria and vesting provisions are described in the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” on page 58. The amounts in this column represent the probable outcome of results at the time of grant, which is equal to the target value.

(1) The amounts shown in these columns represent the Threshold, Target and Maximum payout levels under the fiscal 2023 NEO incentive cash compensation plan. Mr. Carson was not eligible to participate in the incentive cash compensation plan and instead was eligible to receive incentive cash compensation pursuant to separate performance objectives. The actual amount paid to each NEO for fiscal 2023 is reported under the “Incentive Plan Compensation (Bonus Plan)” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 78.

(2) The Company granted PSUs under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan on July 26, 2022 pursuant to which the shares vest upon achievement of pre-determined financial metrics including revenue growth for Software & Subscription Services, EBITDA margin and gross margin. The performance-based stock awards are allocated or weighted based on the relative importance of each performance metric towards stock price appreciation as determined by the Human Capital Committee. The awards have four measurement periods consisting of the twelve-month period ended

February 28, 2023, the twelve-month period ending February 29, 2024, and the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2025 with a final measurement period defined as the three-year period ending February 28, 2026 to reward the NEOs for sustained, longer term performance. All equity awards that remain unvested after the final cumulative performance period are deemed forfeited by the executive. Additionally, the shares eligible for vesting during each of the first three performance periods are subject to downside and upside scaling based on actual financial performance against the pre-determined performance metric during the period. The fair value of the target PSUs is $4.44, which was the market close price on the date of grant and assumes a probable outcome of target performance.

(3) The shares underlying the RSU or restricted stock award vest 33.33% on July 26, 2023, and 8.33% quarterly thereafter, subject to continued service on the applicable vesting date. In May 2023, the Human Capital Committee approved an amendment to such awards providing that the awards vest 33.33% on August 5, 2023, and 8.33% quarterly thereafter, subject to continued service on the applicable vesting date.

(4) The amounts shown represent the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with ASC 718. The assumptions used with respect to the valuation of these equity awards are set forth in Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 28, 2023. For the awards which are subject to performance-based conditions, the amounts shown represent the probable outcome of results, which is the target value.

OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT THE END OF FISCAL 2023

The following table sets forth the outstanding equity awards of each of our NEOs as of the end of fiscal 2023. All outstanding option awards reported in this table expire 10 years from the date of grant and vest in equal annual installments over four years on each anniversary of the applicable grant date. All outstanding performance-based awards are subject to both satisfaction of performance criteria and time-based vesting.

Since the applicable performance goals are generally based on growth over the prior fiscal year’s actual achievement of pre-determined performance goals, we are unable to estimate the payout based on outcomes of our operating measures to be achieved.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

During fiscal 2014, we adopted a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) in which our NEOs, certain other management employees and non-employee directors are eligible to participate. NEOs and other eligible employees can defer up to 75% of their base salary and up to 100% of their incentive bonus. We do not make any contributions to the accounts of participants under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan, including any deferred shares of our common stock, are generally paid or deliverable upon a participant’s retirement or termination of employment, although distributions can occur earlier if the participant elects to receive his or her deferral on a fixed date prior to his or her retirement.

All of the investment options available under the Deferred Compensation Plan are equity, bond and money market mutual funds similar in nature to the investment choices available under our 401(k) defined contribution plan. Investment gains and losses in a participant’s account under the Deferred Compensation Plan are based solely upon the investment selections made by the participant.

Compensation deferral elections by non-employee directors are described under the heading “Compensation of Directors” on page 35. The following table presents each NEO’s contributions to this nonqualified deferred compensation plan, earnings thereon and fiscal year-end account balances for fiscal 2023. Messrs. Binder, Kim, Carson and Scott and Ms. Zhang did not participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan in fiscal 2023.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND SEVERANCE AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

Performance Stock Unit Awards

Pursuant to the terms of the PSU awards granted in fiscal 2023, if an executive’s employment with the Company terminates for Cause or as a result of a resignation other than for Good Reason (as defined in the executive’s employment agreement), prior to the applicable vesting date of the PSUs, the executive will forfeit any PSUs that would otherwise have vested on such date(s). Upon a termination by the Company other than for Cause or by the executive for Good Reason, prior to the applicable vesting date, the executive shall receive accelerated vesting of the award equivalent to 12 months assuming achievement of target performance goals for such performance period, and the executive will forfeit the remainder of the PSUs that would otherwise have vested after such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the an executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or by the executive for Good Reason within 3 months prior to or 12 months following a Change in Control, then the vesting of all outstanding PSUs that had not previously vested shall be accelerated, assuming achievement of all applicable performance metrics at target for all subsequent performance periods, and shall vest in their entirety on the later of (a) the time that is immediately prior to the Change in Control and (b) the date of such termination.

Employment Agreements with Messrs. Gardner, Binder, Kim, Rau, Carson and Scott

We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Gardner, Binder, Kim, Rau, Carson, and Scott, that provide for such executive’s annual base salary and target bonus. Additionally, under the employment agreements, each executive is eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs generally available to similarly situated employees of the Company and is entitled to vacation benefits in accordance with our policies. As described further below, on May 10, 2023, Mr. Gardner and the Company entered into a separation agreement in connection with Mr. Gardner’s separation from the Company, which superseded his employment agreement.

In connection with their commencement of employment in fiscal 2023, Messrs. Kim and Carson were provided with an initial base salary of $450,000 and $325,000, respectively, and a signing bonus of $170,000 and $75,000, respectively. Mr. Kim is also eligible to receive a target annual bonus equal to 70% of his base salary (with a guaranteed a minimum bonus of $49,583 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023). In connection with Mr. Carson’s employment, he was provided a guaranteed bonus for the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2023 equal to $81,250 per quarter, or $162,500. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, he was eligible to receive an incentive cash payment with a target incentive of $81,250 based on an annual revenue target of $78,000,000 (weighted at 90%) and an EBITDA target of $10,500,000 (weighted at 10%), in each case, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. These financial performance targets also included certain accelerators for the addition of new customer logos.

In connection with their commencement of employment, Messrs. Kim and Carson each received initial awards of 265,008 shares of restricted stock and 50,004 RSUs on January 9, 2023 and June 1, 2022, respectively. Such equity awards vest 33.33% on the first anniversary of the grant date, and 8.33% vest quarterly thereafter, subject to continued service through the vesting date.

Additionally, each of the employment agreements provide for change in control and salary continuation benefits that are designed to protect such executives against the loss of their positions as a result of termination without Cause or termination for Good Reason both in conjunction and not in conjunction with a Change in Control, in which:

“Cause” is defined as the occurrence or existence of any of the following with respect to the covered executive officer, as determined by the Company: (A) unsatisfactory performance of the executive officer’s duties or responsibilities, provided that the Company has given the officer written notice specifying the unsatisfactory performance of his duties and responsibilities and afforded the officer reasonable opportunity for cure, all as determined by the Company; (B) a material breach by the officer of any of his or her material obligations under the employment agreement of which the Company has given the officer written notice; (C) willful failure to follow any lawful directive of the Company consistent with the officer’s position and duties, after written notice and reasonable opportunity to cure, all as determined by the Company; (D) a material breach by the officer of his duty not to engage in any transaction that represents, directly or indirectly, self-dealing with the Company or any of its Affiliates which

has not been approved in writing by the Company’s President and CEO; (E) commission of any willful or intentional act which could reasonably be expected to materially injure the property, reputation, business, or business relationships of the Company or its customers; or (F) the indictment, the conviction or the plea of nolo contendere or the equivalent in respect of a felony involving moral turpitude;

“Good Reason” is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the following without covered executive officer’s express written consent: (A) the assignment of the officer to duties materially inconsistent with the officer’s authority, duties, responsibilities, and status (including offices, titles, and reporting requirements) as an officer of the Company, or any other action that constitutes a material reduction in or alteration to the nature or status of the officer’s authority, duties, or responsibilities, in each case from those in effect immediately prior to such reduction, provided that continued employment following a Change of Control with substantially the same responsibility with respect to the Company’s business and operations will not constitute “Good Reason”; (B) the Company conditions the officer’s continued service with the Company on the officer being transferred to a site of employment that would increase the officer’s one-way commute by more than 55 miles from the officer’s then current principal residence; (C) a reduction in the officer’s then Base Salary by ten percent (10%) or more other than in connection with a commensurate reduction of the entire executive team; or (D) any material breach by the Company of any material provision of the employment agreement; and

“Change in Control” is defined as the consummation of the first to occur of (A) the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person or group (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) other than to (1) a corporation or other entity of which a majority of its combined voting power is owned directly or indirectly by the Company, or (2) a corporation or other entity owned directly or indirectly by the holders of capital stock of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of capital stock in the Company; (B) the adoption by the stockholders of the Company of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (C) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or the merger of another entity into the Company or any subsidiary thereof with the effect that immediately after such transaction the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction (or their Related parties) hold less than 50% of the total voting power of all securities generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees of the entity surviving such merger of consolidation; or (D) the acquisition by any person or group of more than 50% of the voting power of all securities of the Company generally entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Company. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, a transaction shall not constitute a “Change of Control” if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who hold the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

Offer Letter with Ms. Zhang

On August 29, 2017, Ms. Zhang and the Company entered into an offer letter that provides for her annual base salary and target bonus. Additionally, under her offer letter, Ms. Zhang is eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs generally available to similarly situated employees of the Company and is entitled to vacation benefits in accordance with our policies.

Separation Agreement and General Release with Mr. Rau

On March 23, 2023, Mr. Rau and the Company entered into a separation agreement and general release (the “Rau Separation Agreement”) providing for Mr. Rau’s separation from the Company. In accordance with the Rau Separation Agreement, and as consideration for his execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims, Mr. Rau will receive the “without Cause” termination severance payments and COBRA benefits provided under his employment agreement, as described above. In addition, unvested equity awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans prior to 2021 will continue to vest for a period of 12 months following Mr. Rau’s termination date, and unvested equity awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans after 2021 shall be forfeited and cancelled in their entirety. Any earned PSU awards as of February 28, 2023 vested upon the filing with the SEC of the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal 2023 on April 28, 2023, and all other PSUs were forfeited.

Separation Agreement with Mr. Gardner

On May 10, 2023, Mr. Gardner and the Company entered into a separation agreement (the “Gardner Separation Agreement”) providing for Mr. Gardner’s separation from the Company. In accordance with the Gardner Separation Agreement, Mr. Gardner will remain employed as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer through the earlier of October 30, 2023 and such date as is determined by the Board (the “Separation Date”). Mr. Gardner will continue to receive his prior base salary of $535,600 (as in effect prior to the reduction on January 30, 2023) during the period commencing on May 10, 2023 and ending on the Separation Date. Subject to Mr. Gardner’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims, continued service through the Separation Date (except in specified circumstances), and continued compliance with certain covenants set forth in the Gardner Separation Agreement and his employment agreement, Mr. Gardner will receive the “without Cause” termination severance payments and COBRA benefits provided under his employment agreement, as described above, which the Board considered appropriate in light of the continuation of Mr. Gardner’s services through the transition period. In addition, unvested equity awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans during and after 2021 that vest based on the passage of time will continue to vest until the later of October 30, 2023 and his Separation Date, and unvested equity awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans prior to 2021 will continue to vest for a period of 12 months following the later of October 30, 2023 and the Separation Date. The unvested PSUs held by Mr. Gardner as of the Separation Date will be forfeited without consideration.

CEO PAY RATIO

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are providing disclosure regarding the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Gardner, our CEO, to the median of the total annual compensation of our employees other than Mr. Gardner. We identified our employee with the median annual compensation using total cash compensation for calendar year 2022 of all employees who were employed by us on December 31, 2022, at which date our global workforce consisted of 688 employees, of which 361 were U.S. employees and 327 were non-U.S. employees. In calculating the median compensated employee, we excluded our employees in Brazil (2), Canada (1), Ireland (1), New Zealand (1), and Spain (7) (a total of 12 individuals which represents 2% of our global workforce, who were excluded pursuant to the de minimis exemption of Item 402(u) of the SEC’s rules). As a result, we determined our median compensated employee based on 676 employees. We did not include any contractors or other non-employee workers in our employee population. We annualized the compensation for any full-time and part-time employees who commenced work during calendar 2022. We believe total cash compensation for all employees is reasonable to use as a consistently applied compensation measure because we do not have a broad based equity award plan. We selected December 31, 2022, which is within the last three months of our fiscal 2023, for the date as of when we would identify the employee with the median annual compensation, because it enabled us to make such identification in a reasonably efficient and economical manner.

After identifying the employee with the median total cash compensation for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022, we calculated total compensation for this employee for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023 using the same methodology that we use for our NEOs in the Summary Compensation Table shown on page 78 of this Proxy Statement.

For fiscal 2023, the total compensation of our CEO was $2,134,672 and the total compensation of our employee with median annual compensation was $67,785. Accordingly, we estimated our CEO Pay Ratio for fiscal 2023 to be 32 to 1.

COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT

The Human Capital Committee monitors the risks associated with our compensation programs, policies and practices with respect to executive compensation, executive recruitment and retention. In establishing and reviewing our executive compensation program, the Human Capital Committee consults with its independent compensation consultant and seeks to structure the program so as to not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Our executive compensation program utilizes a mix of base salary, bonus and equity-based incentive awards designed to align the NEOs’ compensation with our success, particularly with respect to financial performance and increasing stockholder value. The Human Capital Committee sets the amount of our NEOs’ base salaries at the beginning of each fiscal year, and the NEOs’ annual bonus opportunities are tied to overall Company financial performance and other specific objectives. Furthermore, the target total direct compensation opportunities of our NEOs include a substantial portion in the form of equity-based incentive awards that help align their interests with those of our stockholders over the longer term. The Human Capital Committee believes that the annual bonus opportunities and long-term equity awards provide an effective and appropriate mix of incentives to help ensure our performance is focused on long-term stockholder value creation and do not encourage short-term risk taking at the expense of long-term results, and has concluded that our executive compensation program does not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk. Our Human Capital Committee has also reviewed the compensation programs for other senior managers and employees generally, and has concluded that these programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on CalAmp.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We have adopted a written policy pursuant to which material transactions between us and our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as directors and principal stockholders (i.e., stockholders owning beneficially five percent or more of our outstanding voting securities) and members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, shall be submitted to our Board for approval by a disinterested majority of the directors voting with respect to the transaction. For this purpose, a transaction is deemed material if such transaction, alone or together with a series of similar transactions during the same fiscal year, involves an amount that exceeds $60,000. No such transactions occurred since the beginning of fiscal 2023.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT OUR 2023 ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

What is a proxy?

A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the shares of CalAmp stock that you own. The person you designate is your “proxy,” and you give your proxy authority to vote your shares by submitting the enclosed proxy card or voting by telephone or over the Internet. We have designated our Chair-elect, Henry Maier, and our President and CEO, Jeffery Gardner, to serve as proxies for our Annual Meeting.

Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

Our Board is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at our Annual Meeting to be held virtually over the Internet via live audio webcast on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CAMP2023 at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time, and at any adjournment, continuation or postponement thereof, for the purpose of considering and acting upon the matters set forth herein.

We intend to post our 2023 Annual Report, this Proxy Statement, and accompanying proxy card on the Internet at https://investor.calamp.com, and mail the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, on or about June 14, 2023. We will mail printed copies of the proxy materials to stockholders who request them.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full paper copy of this Proxy Statement and Annual Report to Stockholders?

We are acting under an SEC rule that allows companies to furnish their proxy materials over the Internet rather than in paper form. This rule allows a company to send its stockholders a notice regarding Internet availability of proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or how to request a paper copy of proxy materials may be found in the Notice. If you would prefer to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis, please follow the instructions contained in the Notice.

How do I vote? (Voting Procedures)

When and how will the Annual Meeting be held?

The Annual Meeting will be held virtually over the Internet via live audio webcast on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CAMP2023 at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Holders of our common stock at the close of business on the Record Date of June 1, 2023 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment, continuation, or postponement thereof.

What are the Board’s recommendations on the five proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

The Board recommends a vote:

FOR the election of the eight nominees for director identified in Proposal One;

FOR the approval on, an advisory basis of the compensation of our NEOs, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement and Proposal Two;

FOR the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023 in Proposal Three;

FOR the approval of an amendment to the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan in Proposal Four; and

FOR the approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation in Proposal Five.

How many votes do I have?

You will have one vote for each share of our common stock that you owned at the close of business on the Record Date, held directly in your name as the Stockholder of Record or were held for you as the Beneficial Owner through a broker or bank.

How many votes can be cast by all stockholders?

We had [37,529,024] shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting, i.e., what constitutes a quorum?

A quorum, which is a majority of our outstanding shares as of the Record Date, must be present in person or by proxy in order to hold the Annual Meeting and to conduct business. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. Your shares will be counted as being present at the meeting if you attend the Annual Meeting or if you properly submit your proxy via the internet, by telephone or by proxy card.

If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned. The time and place of any adjourned meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other notice will be given, unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is set for the adjourned meeting.

What is the effect if I don’t return my proxy (by mail, over the internet or by phone)?

Stockholders of Record – If you are a Stockholder of Record and you do not return your proxy (by mail, over the internet or by phone) no votes will be cast on your behalf on any of the items of business at the Annual Meeting. It is critical that you return your proxy (by mail, over the internet or by phone) if you want your vote to count

Beneficial Owner – If you are a Beneficial Owner of shares held in “street name,” it is critical that you return your proxy (by mail, over the internet or by phone) if you want your vote to count in the election of directors (Proposal One), the advisory vote on executive compensation (Proposal Three), the approval of the proposed amendment to the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (Proposal Four), and the approval of the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (Proposal Five). If you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your bank or broker how to vote on the election of directors or on Proposals Three, Four and Five, no votes will be cast on your behalf. Your bank or broker will, however, have discretion to vote any uninstructed shares on the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal Two). So it is very important that you instruct your broker or bank how to vote on the election of directors or on Proposals Three, Four and Five.

Regardless of how you hold your shares, please return your proxy or vote via the internet or phone, or instruct your broker how to vote – your vote matters! If you wish to vote my mail please ensure you use the proxy card provided with the Proxy Statement.

Is there a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Our telephone number is (949) 600-5600.

Will stockholders be entitled to cumulative voting?

No, stockholders may not use cumulative voting because our current certificate of incorporation does not provide for this. If cumulative voting were applicable, stockholders would be able to cast a number of votes equal to the number of shares of stock held by the stockholder and to cast all those votes for a single director nominee or to distribute them among two or more nominees.

What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place (including, without limitation, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies), the persons named in the proxy card and acting thereunder will have discretion to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment. We do not currently anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the Annual Meeting.

Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

We will bear the entire cost of this proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of proxy materials. We may also reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with forwarding these proxy materials to you. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of our directors, officers and other employees, without additional compensation, personally or by other means.

Who will tabulate the votes?

Stockholder Proposals

Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our Proxy Statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of our stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to our Corporate Secretary in a timely manner.

Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure with regard to director nominations and stockholder proposals that are not submitted for inclusion in the proxy statement but that a stockholder instead wishes to present directly at an annual meeting. Under our bylaws, notice of such nomination or stockholder proposal for the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary at the above address not earlier than the close of business (as defined in the bylaws) on March 28, 2024, and not later than the close of business on April 27, 2024.

All nominations and stockholder proposals submitted under our bylaws must comply with the requirements of the bylaws. If any proposed business or nomination is not properly made in compliance with our bylaws, the presiding officer of the annual meeting may declare that such business shall not be transacted or that the defective nomination shall be disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any form of ballot listing other qualified nominees, only the ballots cast for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect.

In addition, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the company’s nominees must also comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b). Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which has been reserved for the exclusive use by the Board under our Bylaws.

Upon the Restatement Effective Date, as defined herein, the Plan amends and restates in its entirety the CalAmp Corp. Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Prior Plan”).

As of May 15, 2023, 1,507,688 Shares remained available for future grant. To the extent the Company grants any Awards under the Prior Plan between May 15, 2023 and the date on which the Company’s stockholders approve this Plan (as amended and restated), the maximum number of Shares that is available for future grant (if this Plan (as amended and restated) is approved) will be reduced from 2,956,688 Shares (i.e., the remaining available Shares subject to the Share Limit as of May 15, 2023, plus 1,449,000 Shares) by the number of Shares that the Company grants under the Prior Plan, if any, during such period.

A-3

authorized but unissued Company Stock or authorized and issued Company Stock held in the Company’s treasury or acquired by the Company for the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may direct that any stock certificate evidencing shares issued pursuant to the Plan shall bear a legend setting forth such restrictions on transferability as may apply to such shares pursuant to the Plan.

The grant of a SAR that by its terms is to be settled in cash shall not reduce the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which Incentive Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan.

(b) Individual Limitation

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(c) hereof, the total number of Incentive Awards awarded to any one employee during any fiscal year of the Company, shall not exceed 500,000 shares of Company Stock.

If there is any change in the outstanding shares of Company Stock by reason of a stock dividend or distribution, stock split-up, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, by reason of any extraordinary cash dividend, or by reason of any merger, consolidation, spinoff or other corporate reorganization in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the number of shares available for issuance both in the aggregate and with respect to each outstanding Incentive Award, an Incentive Award’s exercise price or grant price and/or applicable Performance Goals and the limitation set forth in Section 3(b), shall be proportionately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be final and binding. After any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(c), the number of shares subject to each outstanding Incentive Award shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(d) Re-use of Shares

If, on or following the Restatement Effective Date, any shares of Company Stock subject to an Incentive Award are forfeited or expire or such Incentive Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the shares of Company Stock subject to such Incentive Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Incentive Awards under the Plan and shall be added back to the Share Limit in the same number of shares of Company Stock as were debited from the Share Limit in respect of the grant of such Incentive Award.

(e) No Repricing

Other than adjustments made in connection with a transaction or other change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 3(c), absent prior stockholder approval, neither the Committee nor the Board of Directors shall have any authority, with or without the consent of the affected holders of Incentive Awards, to “reprice” an Option or SAR after the date of its initial grant. For purposes of the Plan, “repricing” means canceling an Option or SAR to issue a replacement Option or SAR to the Participant at a lower exercise price, reducing the exercise price of an Option or SAR, canceling an Option or SAR in exchange for cash or another type of Incentive Award, or taking any other action that is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles. This paragraph may not be amended, altered or repealed by the Board of Directors or the Committee without approval of the stockholders of the Company.

4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall from time to time designate the employees of the Company who shall be granted Incentive Awards.

A-4

The Committee shall have full authority to administer the Plan, including authority to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan and the terms of any Incentive Award issued under it and to adopt such rules and regulations for administering the Plan as it may deem necessary or appropriate. The Committee shall determine whether an authorized leave of absence shall constitute termination of employment. Decisions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan may, but need not, be uniform and may be made on a Participant-by-Participant basis (whether or not two or more Participants are similarly situated). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, resolve to administer the Plan, in which case the term “Committee” as used herein shall be deemed to mean the Board of Directors.

The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, without amendment to the Plan, (i) accelerate the date on which any Option or SAR granted under the Plan becomes exercisable, (ii) waive or amend the operation of Plan provisions respecting exercise after termination of employment or otherwise adjust any of the terms of such Option or SAR and (iii) accelerate the Vesting Date or Issue Date, or waive any condition imposed hereunder, with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit or share of Restricted Stock or Phantom Stock or otherwise adjust any of the terms applicable to such Incentive Award.

No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action, omission or determination relating to the Plan, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other director or employee of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been delegated against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee) arising out of any action, omission or determination relating to the Plan, unless, in either case, such action, omission or determination was taken or made by such member, director or employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that it was in the best interests of the Company.

5. ELIGIBILITY

The persons who shall be eligible to receive Incentive Awards pursuant to the Plan shall be such officers and salaried employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including employees who are also directors and prospective salaried employees conditioned on their becoming salaried employees), non-employee members of the Board of Directors, and such consultants to the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Committee shall select in its discretion (provided that such consultants qualify as a consultant or advisor under the applicable rules of Form S-8 Registration Statement).

6. AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN; AWARD AGREEMENTS

The Committee may grant Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Units, shares of Restricted Stock, shares of Phantom Stock and Stock Bonuses, in such amounts and with such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan.

Each Incentive Award granted under the Plan (except an unconditional Stock Bonus) shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall contain such provisions as the Committee may in its sole discretion deem necessary or desirable. By accepting an Incentive Award, a Participant thereby agrees that the Incentive Award shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

7. OPTIONS

(a) Identification of Options

Each Option shall be clearly identified in the applicable Award Agreement as either a Non-Qualified Stock Option or an Incentive Stock Option. In the absence of such identification, an Option shall be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

(b) Exercise Price

Each Award Agreement with respect to an Option shall set forth the amount (the “exercise price”) payable by the holder to the Company upon exercise of the Option. The exercise price per share shall be determined by the Committee

A-5

but shall in no event be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date the Option is granted, except as permitted in connection with the issuance of Options in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies.

(1) An Option shall become exercisable in accordance with the terms in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that Options may not vest, in whole or in part, prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the date of grant except in connection with acceleration due to a Change of Control or death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Options and SARs, up to 5% of the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under this Plan (as described in Section 3(a)) may be issued pursuant to Incentive Awards subject to any, or no, vesting conditions, as the administrator determines appropriate. By way of example and not by way of limitation, the Committee may require, as a condition to the vesting of any Option, that the Participant or the Company achieves such Performance Goals as the Committee may specify. The Committee shall determine the expiration date of each Option; provided, however, that each Option shall be subject to earlier termination, expiration or cancellation as provided in the Plan, and further provided that no Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date of grant.

(2) An Option may be exercised for all or any portion of the shares as to which it is exercisable; provided, that no partial exercise of an Option shall be for an aggregate exercise price of less than $1,000 unless such partial exercise represents the entire unexercised portion of the Option or the entire portion of the Option that is then exercisable. The partial exercise of an Option shall not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion thereof.

(3) An Option shall be exercised by delivering notice to the Company’s principal office, to the attention of its Secretary (or the Secretary’s designee), no less than one business day in advance of the effective date of the proposed exercise. Such notice shall be accompanied by the applicable Award Agreement, shall specify the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised and the effective date of the proposed exercise and shall be signed by the Participant or other person then having the right to exercise the Option in a manner determined by the Committee. Such notice may be withdrawn at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective date of the proposed exercise. Payment for shares of Company Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be made on the effective date of such exercise by one or a combination of the following means:

(i) in cash, by certified check, bank cashier’s check or wire transfer;

(ii) through a broker-assisted transaction whereby a broker selected and engaged by the Participant sells shares of Company Stock in an open market transaction and remits to the Company from the sales proceeds on behalf of the Participant the Option exercise price and the required tax withholding amounts;

(iii) subject to the approval of the Committee, and at the direction of the Participant, through shares retained by the Company in an amount whose aggregate Fair Market Value is equal on the date of exercise to the exercise price, thereby surrendering as payment the portion of the Option that covers the retained shares;

(iv) subject to the approval of the Committee, in shares of Company Stock owned by the Participant and valued at their Fair Market Value on the effective date of such exercise; or

(v) subject to the approval of the Committee, by such other provision as the Committee may from time to time authorize.

(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option exercised pursuant to (3)(iii) above, the number of shares deemed to be used to satisfy the exercise price will not be treated as having been purchased through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

(5) No shares of Company Stock will be issued until full payment has been made. Any payment in shares of Company Stock shall be effected by the delivery of such shares to the Secretary (or the Secretary’s designee) of the

A-6

Company, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank, together with any other documents and evidences as the Secretary (or the Secretary’s designee) of the Company shall require. Certificates for shares of Company Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant or other person entitled to receive such shares, and delivered to the Participant or such other person as soon as practicable following the effective date on which the Option is exercised.

(d) No Reload Rights

Options granted under this Plan shall not contain any provision entitling the optionee to the automatic grant of additional options in connection with any exercise of the original option.

(e) No Loans

The Company may not make loans to individual Participants for the purpose of financing the exercise of an Option.

(f) Limitations on Incentive Stock Options

(1) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Company Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of the Company (or any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) shall exceed $100,000, or such higher value as may be permitted under Section 422 of the Code, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

(2) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant, such individual owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code), unless (i) the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted and (ii) such Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

(g) Effect of Termination of Employment

(1) Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides or the Committee shall determine otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company shall terminate for any reason other than Cause, Disability, Retirement or death: (i) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is 90 days after such termination, on which date they shall expire; and (ii) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. The 90-day period described in this Section 7(g)(1) shall be extended to one year in the event of the Participant’s death during such 90-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

(2) Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides or the Committee shall determine otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company shall terminate on account of the Disability or death of the Participant: (i) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is one year after such termination, on which date they shall expire; and (ii) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

(3) Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides or the Committee shall determine otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company shall terminate on account of the Retirement of the Participant: (i) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such

A-7

termination, shall remain exercisable for a period of two years from the date of termination, on which date they shall expire; and (ii) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

(4) Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides or the Committee shall determine otherwise, if a Participant’s employment by or service with the Company (or any Subsidiary) is terminated for Cause, any unexercised Stock Option granted to such participant shall be cancelled on the date of such termination, whether or not exercisable on such date. See also Section 22, Cancellation and Rescission of Incentive Awards.

8. SARS

(a) Exercise Price

The exercise price per share of a SAR shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but shall in no event be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date of grant.

(b) Benefit Upon Exercise

At the time of granting a SAR, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall specify whether the benefit payable upon exercise of the SAR will be paid in shares of Company Stock or in cash, and such form of payment will be made a part of the applicable Award Agreement. The exercise of a SAR with respect to any number of shares of Company Stock shall entitle the Participant to a payment, for each such share, equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the exercise date over (ii) the exercise price of the SAR. Payment will be made in shares of Company Stock, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, or in cash, as specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Payments shall be made as soon as practicable following exercise of the SAR.

(1) A SAR shall become exercisable in accordance with the terms in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that SARS may not vest, in whole or in part, prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the date of grant except in connection with acceleration due to a Change of Control or death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Options and SARs, up to 5% of the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under this Plan (as described in Section 3(a)) may be issued pursuant to Incentive Awards subject to any, or no, vesting conditions, as the administrator determines appropriate. By way of example and not by way of limitation, the Committee may require, as a condition to the vesting of any SAR, that the Participant or the Company achieves such Performance Goals as the Committee may specify. The Committee shall determine the expiration date of each SAR; provided, however, that the term of a SAR will not exceed ten years. No SAR shall be exercisable prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant.

(2) A SAR may be exercised for all or any portion of the shares as to which it is exercisable; provided, that no partial exercise of a SAR shall be for an aggregate exercise price of less than $1,000. The partial exercise of a SAR shall not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion thereof.

(3) A SAR shall be exercised by delivering notice to the Company’s principal office, to the attention of its Secretary (or the Secretary’s designee), no less than one business day in advance of the effective date of the proposed exercise. Such notice shall be accompanied by the applicable Award Agreement, shall specify the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which the SAR is being exercised, and the effective date of the proposed exercise, and shall be signed by the Participant. The Participant may withdraw such notice at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective date of the proposed exercise.

(d) Effect of Termination of Employment

The provisions set forth in Section 7(g) with respect to the exercise of Options following termination of employment shall apply as well to such exercise of SARs.

A-8

9. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

(a) Vesting Date

At the time of the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Committee shall establish a Vesting Date or Vesting Dates with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may divide such shares into classes and assign a different Vesting Date for each class. Provided that all conditions to the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit imposed pursuant to Section 9(c) are satisfied, and except as provided in Section 9(d), upon the occurrence of the Vesting Date with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit, such Restricted Stock Unit shall vest.

(b) Benefit Upon Vesting

Upon the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive one share of Company Stock or an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date on which such share of Restricted Stock Unit vests, as determined by the Committee.

At the time of the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of such shares as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate; provided, however, that Restricted Stock Units may not vest, in whole or in part, prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the date of grant except in connection with acceleration due to a Change of Control or death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to 5% of the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under this Plan (as described in Section 3(a)) may be issued pursuant to Incentive Awards subject to any, or no, vesting conditions, as the administrator determines appropriate. By way of example and not by way of limitation, the Committee may require, as a condition to the vesting of any class or classes of Restricted Stock Units, that the Participant or the Company achieves such Performance Goals as the Committee may specify.

(d) [Reserved]

(e) Consequences of Vesting

In connection with the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit (other than a Restricted Stock Unit that is settled in cash) pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, the Company shall cause to be issued a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Participant to whom such Restricted Stock Unit was granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such share still may be subject to restrictions on transfer as a result of applicable securities laws.

(f) Effect of Termination of Employment

(1) Unless the applicable Award Agreement or the Committee provides otherwise, Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall be forfeited upon the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason other than Cause.

(2) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment for Cause, all Restricted Stock Units granted to such Participant which have not vested as of the date of such termination shall immediately be forfeited. See also Section 22, Cancellation and Rescission of Incentive Awards.

10. RESTRICTED STOCK

At the time of the grant of shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall establish an Issue Date or Issue Dates and a Vesting Date or Vesting Dates with respect to such shares. The Committee may divide such shares into classes and assign a different Issue Date and/or Vesting Date for each class. If the grantee is employed by the Company on an Issue

A-9

Date (which may be the date of grant), the specified number of shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(e). Provided that all conditions to the vesting of a share of Restricted Stock imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) are satisfied, and except as provided in Section 10(g), upon the occurrence of the Vesting Date with respect to a share of Restricted Stock, such share shall vest and the restrictions of Section 10(c) shall cease to apply to such share.

(b) Conditions to Vesting

At the time of the grant of shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of such shares as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate; provided, however, that Restricted Stock may not vest, in whole or in part, prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the date of grant except in connection with acceleration due to a Change of Control or death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to 5% of the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under this Plan (as described in Section 3(a)) may be issued pursuant to Incentive Awards subject to any, or no, vesting conditions, as the administrator determines appropriate. By way of example and not by way of limitation, the Committee may require, as a condition to the vesting of any class or classes of shares of Restricted Stock, that the Participant or the Company achieves such Performance Goals as the Committee may specify.

Prior to the vesting of a share of Restricted Stock, no transfer of a Participant’s rights with respect to such share, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be permitted. Immediately upon any attempt to transfer such rights, such share, and all of the rights related thereto, shall be forfeited by the Participant.

(d) Dividends on Restricted Stock

Dividends declared on shares of Restricted Stock shall be held in escrow and shall not be paid until all restrictions on such shares have lapsed.

(e) Issuance of Certificates

(1) Reasonably promptly after the Issue Date with respect to shares of Restricted Stock, the Company shall cause to be issued a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Participant to whom such shares were granted, evidencing such shares; provided, that the Company shall not cause such a stock certificate to be issued unless it has received a stock power duly endorsed in blank with respect to such shares. Each such stock certificate shall bear the following legend:

Such legend shall not be removed until such shares vest pursuant to the terms hereof.

(2) Each certificate issued pursuant to this Section 10(e), together with the stock powers relating to the shares of Restricted Stock evidenced by such certificate, shall be held in escrow by the Company until (i) the restrictions have lapsed and (ii) the income tax and employment tax withholding amounts have been satisfied, as provided for in Section 18 hereof.

(f) Consequences of Vesting

Upon the vesting of a share of Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, the restrictions of Section 10(c) shall cease to apply to such share. Reasonably promptly after a share of

A-10

Restricted Stock vests, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Participant to whom such shares were granted, a certificate evidencing such share, free of the legend set forth in Section 10(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such share still may be subject to restrictions on transfer as a result of applicable securities laws.

(g) Effect of Termination of Employment

(1) Unless the applicable Award Agreement or the Committee provides otherwise, during the 90 days following termination of a Participant’s employment for any reason other than Cause, the Company shall have the right to require the return of any shares to which restrictions on transferability apply, in exchange for which the Company shall repay to the Participant (or the Participant’s estate) any amount paid by the Participant for such shares.

(2) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment for Cause, all shares of Restricted Stock granted to such Participant which have not vested as of the date of such termination shall immediately be returned to the Company, in return for which the Company shall repay to the Participant any amount paid for such shares. See also Section 22, Cancellation and Rescission of Incentive Awards.

11. PHANTOM STOCK

(a) Vesting Date

At the time of the grant of shares of Phantom Stock, the Committee shall establish a Vesting Date or Vesting Dates with respect to such shares. The Committee may divide such shares into classes and assign a different Vesting Date for each class. Provided that all conditions to the vesting of a share of Phantom Stock imposed pursuant to Section 11(c) are satisfied, and except as provided in Section 11(d), upon the occurrence of the Vesting Date with respect to a share of Phantom Stock, such share shall vest.

(b) Benefit Upon Vesting

Upon the vesting of a share of Phantom Stock, the Participant shall be entitled to receive in cash, within 30 days of the date on which such share vests, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date on which such share of Phantom Stock vests and (ii) the aggregate amount of cash dividends paid with respect to a share of Company Stock during the period commencing on the date on which the share of Phantom Stock was granted and terminating on the date on which such share vests.

At the time of the grant of shares of Phantom Stock, the Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of such shares as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate; provided, however, that Phantom Stock may not vest , in whole or in part, prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the date of grant except in connection with acceleration due to a Change of Control or death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to 5% of the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under this Plan (as described in Section 3(a)) may be issued pursuant to Incentive Awards subject to any, or no, vesting conditions, as the administrator determines appropriate. By way of example and not by way of limitation, the Committee may require, as a condition to the vesting of any class or classes of shares of Phantom Stock, that the Participant or the Company achieves such Performance Goals as the Committee may specify.

(d) Effect of Termination of Employment

(1) Unless the applicable Award Agreement or the Committee provides otherwise, shares of Phantom Stock that have not vested, together with any dividends credited on such shares, shall be forfeited upon the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason other than Cause.

(2) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment for Cause, all shares of Phantom Stock granted to such Participant which have not vested as of the date of such termination shall immediately be forfeited, together with any dividends credited on such shares. See also Section 22, Cancellation and Rescission of Incentive Awards.

A-11

12. STOCK BONUSES

In the event that the Committee grants a Stock Bonus, a certificate for the shares of Company Stock comprising such Stock Bonus shall be issued in the name of the Participant to whom such grant was made and delivered to such Participant as soon as practicable after the date on which such Stock Bonus is payable.

13. MINIMUM VESTING

No portion of any Incentive Award shall vest prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Incentive Award; provided, that vesting may accelerate in connection with death, Disability or a Change of Control. For purposes of Incentive Awards to non-employee directors, a vesting period will be deemed to be one year if it runs from the date of one annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders to the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, so long as the period between such meetings is not less than 50 weeks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to 5% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock that shall be available for grant under this Plan may be granted with a minimum vesting schedule that is shorter than that mandated in this Section 13.

14. NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR AWARDS

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, the sum of any cash compensation, or other compensation, and the value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of Incentive Awards granted to a Non-Employee Director as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $500,000 (the “Director Limit”). Each year, on the day of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors of the Company are elected (and, in the case that a person becomes a Non-Employee Director other than at an annual meeting, on such date that the person first becomes a Non-Employee Director), each Non-Employee Director shall receive Incentive Awards in an amount not to exceed the Director Limit. The specific amount of Incentive Awards to be granted to each Non-Employee Director on the day of the annual meeting of stockholders will be as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time, subject to the Director Limit.

Incentive Awards granted pursuant to this Section 14 shall generally vest or become exercisable one (1) year from the date of grant or over such longer or shorter period as the Board of Directors may from time to time establish, subject to the discretion of the Committee to accelerate the vesting of Incentive Awards as provided in Section 4 hereof.

15. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER

No person shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Company Stock covered by or relating to any Incentive Award until the date of issuance of a stock certificate with respect to such shares. For the avoidance of doubt, Participants shall have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of an Option, a SAR or any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or SAR until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock. In addition, a grant of Restricted Stock Units, Phantom Stock or Stock Bonuses may provide a Participant with the right to receive dividend equivalents, which may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Incentive Award with to which the dividend equivalents are paid and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, dividend equivalents with respect to an Incentive Award shall only be paid out to the Participant to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied. All such dividend equivalent payments will be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following calendar year in which the right to the dividend equivalent payment becomes nonforfeitable, unless determined otherwise by the Committee or unless deferred in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3(c), no adjustment to any Incentive Award shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

A-12

16. NO SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS; NO RIGHT TO INCENTIVE AWARD

Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of employment by the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant.

No person shall have any claim or right to receive an Incentive Award hereunder. The Committee’s granting of an Incentive Award to a Participant at any time shall neither require the Committee to grant any other Incentive Award to such Participant or other person at any time nor preclude the Committee from making subsequent grants to such Participant or any other person.

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan. Participants are and shall at all times be general creditors of the Company with respect to their Incentive Awards. If the Committee or the Company chooses to set aside funds in a trust or otherwise for the payment of Incentive Awards under the Plan, such funds shall at all times be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency.

Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board of Directors or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock or stock options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

17. SECURITIES MATTERS

(a) The Company shall be under no obligation to effect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 of any interests in the Plan or any shares of Company Stock to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to cause to be issued or delivered any certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock pursuant to the Plan unless and until the Company is advised by its counsel that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of the Nasdaq National Market and any other securities exchange on which shares of Company Stock are traded. Certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock issued pursuant to the terms hereof, may bear such legends, as the Committee or the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to insure compliance with applicable securities laws.

(b) The transfer of any shares of Company Stock hereunder shall be effective only at such time as counsel to the Company shall have determined that the issuance and delivery of such shares is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of the Nasdaq National Market and any other securities exchange on which shares of Company Stock are traded. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, defer the effectiveness of any transfer of shares of Company stock hereunder in order to allow the issuance of such shares to be made pursuant to registration or an exemption from registration or other methods for compliance available under federal or state securities laws. The Company shall inform the Participant in writing of the Committee’s decision to defer the effectiveness of a transfer. During the period of such a deferral in connection with the exercise of an Option, the Participant may, by written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.

18. WITHHOLDING TAXES

Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Incentive Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto.

Whenever shares of Company Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Incentive Award, the amount of any federal, state and local tax withholding requirements must be satisfied by the Participant prior to the issuance of shares by the

A-13

Company (or, in the case of Restricted Stock, before the release of such shares from escrow). The Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. The Committee may require or permit a Participant to satisfy the foregoing requirement by (i) withholding and retaining from delivery shares of Company Stock having a value equal to the amount of the tax withholding requirement, (ii) delivering to the Company already vested and owned shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount of the tax withholding requirement, (iii) subject to Section 19 and any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods), if there is a public market for shares of Common Stock at the time the tax obligations are satisfied, (A) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to satisfy the tax obligations, (B) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Committee, or (C) sale of shares in the open market by the Company on the Participant’s behalf, or (iv) to the extent permitted by the Company, any combination of the foregoing payment forms approved by the Committee. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined (the “Tax Date”). Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such a withholding election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares to be delivered pursuant to an Incentive Award. To the extent required for such a withholding of stock to qualify for the exemption available under Rule 16b-3, such an election by a grantee whose transactions in Company Stock are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall be subject to the approval of the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be so delivered or retained pursuant to clause (i) of this Section shall be limited to the number of shares which have a fair market value on the date of retention no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum applicable statutory withholding rate in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of such withholding (or such other rate as may be required to avoid the liability classification of the applicable award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America). Subject to Section 19, if any tax withholding obligation will be satisfied under clause (i) above by the Company’s retention of shares from the Incentive Award creating the tax obligation and there is a public market for shares at the time the tax obligation is satisfied, the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on the applicable Participant’s behalf some or all of the shares retained and to remit the proceeds of the sale to the Company or its designee, and each Participant’s acceptance of an Incentive Award under the Plan will constitute the Participant’s authorization to the Company and instruction and authorization to such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this sentence.

19. BROKER-ASSISTED SALES

In the event of a broker-assisted sale of shares of Common Stock in connection with the payment of amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Incentive Awards, including amounts to be paid under the final sentence of Section 18: (i) any shares to be sold through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (ii) such shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (iii) the applicable Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Incentive Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and its Subsidiaries harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (iv) to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or their designee receives proceeds of such sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company or its Subsidiary will pay such excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (v) the Company, its Subsidiaries and their designees are under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price; and (vi) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the Company or its designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

20. NOTIFICATION OF ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE

If any Participant shall, in connection with the award of Restricted Stock under the Plan, make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code (i.e., an election to include in gross income in the year of award the amounts specified

A-14

in Section 83(b)), such Participant shall notify the Company of such election at the time of entering into the Award Agreement pertaining to the Restricted Stock award, and shall concurrently make a payment to the Company of the aggregate income tax and employment tax withholding amount, such payment to be made in cash, by certified check, bank cashier’s check or wire transfer.

21. NOTIFICATION UPON DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION

Each Award Agreement with respect to an Incentive Stock Option shall require the Participant to notify the Company of any disposition of shares of Company Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of such Option under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions) within ten days of such disposition.

22. CANCELLATION AND RESCISSION OF INCENTIVE AWARDS

Unless the Award Agreement specifies otherwise, the Committee may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any unexpired, unpaid, or deferred Incentive Awards at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Award Agreement, or if the Participant engages in any “Detrimental Activity,” subject to applicable law. For purposes of this Section 22, “Detrimental Activity” shall include: (i) the rendering of services for any organization or engaging directly or indirectly in any business which is or becomes competitive with the Company, or which organization or business, or the rendering of services to such organization or business, is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company; (ii) the disclosure to anyone outside the Company, or the use in other than the Company’s business, without prior written authorization from the Company, of any confidential information or material, as defined in the Company’s Agreement Regarding Confidential Information and Intellectual Property, relating to the business of the Company, acquired by the Participant either during or after employment with the Company; (iii) the failure or refusal to disclose promptly and to assign to the Company, pursuant to the Company’s “Confidentiality, Company Property, and Non-Solicitation Agreement” (formerly known as the Company’s “Confidential Invention Agreement”), all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the Participant during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business, research or development work of the Company or the failure or refusal to do anything reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United States and in other countries; (iv) activity that results in termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause; (v) a violation of any rules, policies, procedures or guidelines of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics policy; (vi) any attempt directly or indirectly to induce any employee of the Company to be employed or perform services elsewhere or any attempt directly or indirectly to solicit the trade or business of any current or prospective customer, supplier or partner of the Company; (vii) the Participant being convicted of, or entering a guilty plea with respect to, a crime, whether or not connected with the Company; or (viii) any other conduct or act determined to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any interest of the Company.

23. CHANGE OF CONTROL

In the event a Change of Control occurs, Incentive Awards outstanding as of immediately prior to such Change of Control shall be continued, converted, assumed or replaced with a substantially similar award by (a) the Company or (b) a successor entity or its parent or subsidiary (an “Assumption”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Incentive Award is not Assumed and provided that the Participant has not had a termination of service, then, immediately prior to the Change of Control, such Incentive Awards shall become fully vested, exercisable and/or payable, as applicable, and all forfeiture, repurchase and other restrictions on such Incentive Awards shall lapse, provided that, to the extent the vesting of any such Incentive Award is subject to the satisfaction of specified performance goals, such Incentive Award shall vest and all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at the target level of performance, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable. In addition, to the extent an Incentive Award is not Assumed, such Incentive Awards shall be canceled upon the consummation of the Change of Control in exchange for the right to receive (to the extent vested in connection with the foregoing sentence) the Change of Control consideration payable to other holders of Common Stock (i) which may be on

A-15

such terms and conditions as apply generally to holders of Common Stock under the Change of Control documents (including, without limitation, any escrow, earn-out or other deferred consideration provisions) or such other terms and conditions as the Committee may provide, and (ii) determined by reference to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Incentive Awards and net of any applicable exercise price; provided that to the extent that any Incentive Awards constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” that may not be paid upon the Change of Control under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of taxes thereon under Section 409A of the Code, the timing of such payments shall be governed by the applicable Award Agreement (subject to any deferred consideration provisions applicable under the Change of Control documents); and provided, further, that if the amount to which the Participant would be entitled upon the settlement or exercise of such Incentive Award at the time of the Change of Control is equal to or less than zero, then such Incentive Award may be terminated without payment. The Committee shall determine whether an Assumption of an Incentive Award has occurred in connection with a Change of Control.

24. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

The Board of Directors may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that stockholder approval shall be required if and to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 or by any comparable or successor exemption under which the Board of Directors believes it is appropriate for the Plan to qualify, or if and to the extent the Board of Directors determines that such approval is appropriate for purposes of satisfying the requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other securities exchange on which shares of Company Stock are traded or Section 422 of the Code. Nothing herein shall restrict the Committee’s ability to exercise its discretionary authority pursuant to Section 4, which discretion may be exercised without amendment to the Plan. No action hereunder may, without the consent of a Participant, reduce the Participant’s rights under any outstanding Incentive Award.

25. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE

The grant to a Participant of an Option or SAR shall impose no obligation upon such Participant to exercise such Option or SAR.

26. TRANSFERS UPON DEATH; NONASSIGNABILITY

Upon the death of a Participant outstanding Incentive Awards granted to such Participant may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate or by a person who shall have acquired the right to such exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No transfer of an Incentive Award by will or the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with (a) written notice thereof and with a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and (b) an agreement by the transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Incentive Award that are or would have been applicable to the Participant and to be bound by the acknowledgments made by the Participant in connection with the grant of the Incentive Award. Any permitted transfer of an Incentive Award hereunder shall be without consideration, except as required by applicable law.

27. EXPENSES AND RECEIPTS

The expenses of the Plan shall be paid by the Company. Any proceeds received by the Company in connection with any Incentive Award will be used for general corporate purposes.

28. FAILURE TO COMPLY

In addition to the remedies of the Company elsewhere provided for herein, failure by a Participant (or beneficiary) to comply with any of the terms and conditions of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, unless such failure is remedied by such Participant (or beneficiary) within ten days after notice of such failure by the Committee, shall be grounds for the cancellation and forfeiture of such Incentive Award, in whole or in part, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine.

A-16
