Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 10, 2023, MiX Telematics Limited, a public company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa (the “Company”), entered into an Implementation Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, PowerFleet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Powerfleet”), and Main Street 2000 Proprietary Limited, a private company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa and a wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet (“Powerfleet Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Powerfleet Sub will acquire all of the issued ordinary shares of the Company (“MiX Ordinary Shares”), including the ordinary shares represented by the Company’s American Depositary Shares ( “MiX ADSs”), through the implementation of a scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) in accordance with Sections 114 and 115 of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Powerfleet. As a result of the transactions, including the Scheme, contemplated by the Agreement (the “Transactions”), the Company will become an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet.
On February 27, 2024, the Company issued a press release to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange announcing that the conditions that were required to be fulfilled or waived by the Pre-General Meeting Date as set out in the Scheme Circular as previously filed on January 30, 2024 as Exhibit 99.1 in Current Report on Form 8-K, have been fulfilled or, to the extent required and permitted in terms of the Scheme, waived by the Company and PowerFleet (“the parties”). The Company further announced that on February 14, 2024 the South African Competition Commission granted merger approval in respect of the proposed transaction, subject to certain conditions acceptable to the parties. The full text of the press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 shall neither be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. The Company’s, Powerfleet’s and the combined business’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the parties’ control and are difficult to predict. The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are not limited to, risks related to: (i) the completion of the Transactions in the anticipated timeframe or at all; (ii) the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Transactions including, but not limited to the ability to obtain approval of the shareholders of the Company and stockholders of Powerfleet and the ability to obtain the Financing; (iii) the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals; (iv) the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions; (v) the ability to successfully integrate the businesses; (vi) disruption from the Transactions making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; (vii) the negative effects of the announcement of the Transactions or the consummation of the Transactions on the market price of Powerfleet’s or the Company’s securities; (viii) significant transaction costs and unknown liabilities; (ix) litigation or regulatory actions related to the Transactions; and (x) such other factors as are set forth in the periodic reports filed by Powerfleet and the Company with the SEC, including but not limited to those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in their annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any other filings made with the SEC from time to time, which are available via the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date of this report, and except as otherwise required by applicable securities law, neither Powerfleet nor the Company assume any obligation nor do they intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
