Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 13, 2013, CalAmp Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity Inc. as representative for the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 4,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), to the Underwriters at a price of $9.25 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters were also granted an option to purchase up to an additional 675,000 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, which option was exercised in full on February 14, 2013. The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriters against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1. The provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreement and are not intended as a document for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the Company. Rather, investors and the public should look to the Company’s disclosures contained in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to a preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 11, 2013 and a final prospectus supplement dated February 13, 2013, which were filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and an accompanying base prospectus dated February 11, 2013, in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-185590), as amended, which became effective on February 11, 2013. The Company is filing as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K a legal opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP regarding certain matters related to the shares of Common Stock to be issued and sold in the offering.

The sale to the Underwriters is expected to close on February 20, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
