On November 30, 2010, Novatel Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed its previously announced acquisition of Enfora, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Enfora”). The acquisition was made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 5, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between the Company, Enfora and England Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Enfora, and Enfora continued as the surviving corporation and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the Company paid an amount equal to $64,500,000, subject to a working capital adjustment and deductions for the outstanding indebtedness of Enfora and the fees, costs and expenses incurred by Enfora in connection with the Merger. This Merger consideration is being distributed to the holders of Enfora’s common stock, preferred stock, warrants to acquire common stock, and stock options to acquire shares of common stock that are vested with an exercise price per share less than the implied per-share purchase price (the “Cashed-Out Options”), in each case in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. All outstanding stock options of Enfora terminated at the Effective Time, subject to the right of holders of the Cashed-Out Options to receive the distributions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Company has also agreed to pay additional consideration equal to $0.48 for each dollar of gross profit in excess of $30,500,000 generated by the Company in the 15-month period from October 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011, not to exceed $6,000,000 in the aggregate.

Enfora is a Texas-based provider of intelligent asset-management solutions utilizing wireless technology and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities And Exchange Commission on November 10, 2010, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement has been incorporated herein to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other financial or other information about the Company, Merger Sub, Enfora or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement: were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Merger Sub, Enfora or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company.
