Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreements.
    
On October 7, 2011, HUGHES Telematics, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a private placement of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and a series of exchange transactions pursuant to which the Company raised aggregate gross cash proceeds of approximately $41.0 million and reduced its total indebtedness by approximately $7.9 million. In summary, the transactions included the following:

The issuance and sale for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million of 4,875,855 shares of common stock to a group of accredited investors who are non-affiliates of the Company, reflecting a purchase price of $4.10 per share;
The issuance of $21.0 million of new indebtedness under the Company's First Lien Credit Agreement (as defined below) (the “Additional Loan”);
The exchange by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management LLC (“Apollo”) of approximately $5.9 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement for 1,448,350 shares of common stock, reflecting an exchange price of $4.10 per share; and
The exchange, including by an affiliate of Apollo, of all of the approximately $23.0 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement (as defined below) for 4,784,019 shares of common stock, reflecting an exchange price of $4.80 per share.

The private placement and exchange transactions were completed pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2011 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and each of the entities and individuals named therein (the “Purchasers”). The aggregate consideration for the 11,108,224 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement consisted of approximately $20.0 million in cash, the exchange of approximately $5.9 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2008 (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, as amended, and the exchange of approximately $23.0 million issued pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2009 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and PLASE HT, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, as amended. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes. Included as part of the transactions, PLASE HT, LLC, which is an affiliate of Apollo, received (i) 1,448,350 shares of common stock in exchange for approximately $5.9 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement and (ii) 3,678,063 shares of common stock in exchange for approximately $17.7 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

The issuance and sale of the common stock in the private placement and exchange transactions were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the shares may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The shares were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 under the Securities Act and/or Sections 4(2) and 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

In connection with the private placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2011 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Purchasers requiring that, among other things, the Company register the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the private placement. If the Company does not meet certain deadlines with respect to filing and making a registration statement covering such resale effective, then cash penalties of 1% of the purchase price per month for up to twelve months may apply.

In connection with the transactions described above, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2011 (the “Sixth Amendment”), with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Sixth Amendment, among other things, permitted the exchange of the approximately $5.9 million of existing indebtedness under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the exchange of the existing indebtedness under the Second Lien Credit Agreement in the exchange transactions and excluded the cash proceeds received in the private placement from the requirement to use 25% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of equity for the repayment of loans outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, an additional covenant was added to the First Lien Credit Agreement which requires the Company to maintain a minimum balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $5.0 million, subject to certain cure measures. Certain lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement who consented to the Sixth Amendment received a consent fee payable in an aggregate of 321,934 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares issued as a consent fee were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 under the Securities Act and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and may not be sold in the United States absent





registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The Sixth Amendment also allowed for the Additional Loan in the amount of $21.0 million to be provided to the Company pursuant to an additional loan agreement by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as collateral agent, and Barclays Bank PLC, as lender.  Affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC perform certain investment banking and investment advisory services for the Company for which they receive customary fees and commissions. The Additional Loan has the same terms and conditions and the same security and guarantees as all other loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Additional Loan for general corporate purposes.
