Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) As described in Item 5.07 below, at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Novatel Wireless, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 24, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s 2009 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2009 Plan”) in order to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan (the “Plan Amendment”). On April 22, 2015 the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) had approved the Plan Amendment, subject to stockholder approval.

As described in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2015 (the “Proxy Statement”), the Plan Amendment increases the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan from 10,323,000 to 12,323,000, including 323,000 shares that currently may be used for inducement grants under the 2009 Plan pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. This is an increase of 2,000,000 shares that may be used to provide equity incentives to employees, officers and directors of the Company, as well as any other persons that provide services to the Company.

The descriptions of the Plan Amendment contained herein and in the Proxy Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2009 Plan, as amended and restated, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
