JOINT PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

OF POWERFLEET, INC. AND EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF

SHAREHOLDERS OF MIX TELEMATICS LIMITED

AND

PROSPECTUS FOR 76,520,391 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

OF

POWERFLEET, INC.

Dear PowerFleet, Inc. Stockholders and MiX Telematics Limited Shareholders:

On behalf of the boards of directors of PowerFleet, Inc. (“Powerfleet”) and MiX Telematics Limited (“MiX Telematics”), we are pleased to enclose the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus for the business combination of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics and the related facilitating transactions. We are requesting that you take certain actions as a Powerfleet stockholder or MiX Telematics shareholder.

As previously announced, on October 10, 2023, Powerfleet, Main Street 2000 Proprietary Limited, a private company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa and a wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet (“Powerfleet Sub”), and MiX Telematics, a public company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa, entered into an implementation agreement (the “implementation agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Powerfleet Sub will acquire all of the issued ordinary shares of MiX Telematics, no par value (“MiX ordinary shares”), including MiX ordinary shares represented by American Depositary Shares, each of which represents 25 MiX ordinary shares (“MiX ADSs”), from MiX Telematics shareholders 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, as amended (the “Companies Act”), in exchange for an aggregate of 70,704,110 shares of common stock of Powerfleet, par value $0.01 per share (“Powerfleet common stock”), which is based on the number of outstanding MiX ordinary shares as of January 19, 2024. As a result, MiX Telematics will become an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet.

Upon implementation of the scheme, each MiX Telematics shareholder of record, who is registered as such in MiX Telematics’ securities register as of the applicable record date (the “scheme record date”) for purposes of compliance with the listings requirements of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the “JSE”), excluding treasury shares and any MiX ordinary shares held by any MiX Telematics shareholder that has validly exercised its appraisal rights under Section 164 of the Companies Act with respect to the scheme, will exchange 100% of its issued MiX ordinary shares (including those represented by MiX ADSs) as of the scheme record date for consideration consisting of 0.12762 shares of Powerfleet common stock for each MiX ordinary share held of record (and in the case of holders of MiX ADSs, 3.19056 shares of Powerfleet common stock for each MiX ADS held of record) (the shares of Powerfleet common stock to be issued as the consideration in the scheme, the “scheme consideration shares”). Any entitlements to fractions of shares of Powerfleet common stock that otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the scheme will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares and a cash payment will be made for any fractional shares resulting from such rounding (any such cash payments made for fractional shares, together with the scheme consideration shares, being referred to as the “scheme consideration”). See “The Implementation Agreement—Scheme Consideration” beginning on page 104 of the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

Following implementation of the scheme, Powerfleet stockholders will continue to own their existing shares of Powerfleet common stock. It is anticipated that Powerfleet securityholders will own approximately 34.5% and MiX Telematics securityholders (including holders of MiX ADSs) will own approximately 65.5% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis immediately following implementation of the scheme. Powerfleet common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “PWFL.” MiX ordinary shares are traded on the JSE under the symbol “MIX” and MiX ADSs are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “MIXT.” The common stock of the combined company is expected to be remain listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “PWFL” and to be listed on the JSE under the symbol “PWR.”

Powerfleet will hold a special meeting of stockholders (the “Powerfleet special meeting”) and MiX Telematics will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “MiX extraordinary general meeting”) in connection with the proposed transaction.

At the Powerfleet special meeting, Powerfleet stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals: (1) approval of the issuance of shares of Powerfleet common stock to MiX Telematics shareholders pursuant to the implementation agreement (the “Powerfleet stock issuance proposal”); (2) approval of an amendment of Powerfleet’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Powerfleet common stock from 75 million to 175 million (the “Powerfleet charter amendment proposal”); (3) approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation that may become payable to certain executive officers of Powerfleet in connection with the transactions contemplated by the implementation agreement (the “Powerfleet compensation proposal”); and (4) approval to adjourn the Powerfleet special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the Powerfleet special meeting to approve the Powerfleet stock issuance proposal and the Powerfleet charter amendment proposal (the “Powerfleet adjournment proposal” and, collectively with the Powerfleet stock issuance proposal, the Powerfleet charter amendment proposal and the Powerfleet compensation proposal, the “Powerfleet proposals”). The Powerfleet board of directors recommends that Powerfleet stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Powerfleet proposals to be considered at the Powerfleet special meeting.

At the MiX extraordinary general meeting, MiX Telematics shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following resolutions: (1) approval of the scheme pursuant to the terms of the implementation agreement and in accordance with Sections 114 and 115 of the Companies Act (the “MiX scheme resolution”); (2) approval of the revocation of the MiX scheme resolution if the scheme is not implemented (the “MiX revocation resolution”); (3) authorization for the MiX Telematics board of directors (the “MiX board”) to issue a termination notice to Powerfleet pursuant to the implementation agreement if the MiX board determines it to be in the best interests of MiX Telematics and MiX Telematics shareholders to do so (the “MiX termination notice resolution”); and (4) authorization of each director and the company secretary of MiX Telematics to take any actions necessary for purposes of giving effect to the MiX resolutions proposed and passed at the MiX extraordinary general meeting (the “MiX authorization resolution” and, collectively with the MiX scheme resolution, the MiX revocation resolution and the MiX termination notice resolution, the “MiX resolutions”). The MiX Telematics independent board of directors recommends that MiX Telematics shareholders vote “FOR” each of the resolutions to be considered at the MiX extraordinary general meeting.

The implementation agreement requires, as a condition to implementation of the scheme and consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the implementation agreement, that Powerfleet stockholders approve the Powerfleet issuance proposal and the Powerfleet charter amendment proposal, and that MiX Telematics shareholders approve the MiX scheme resolution. Your vote is very important regardless of the number of shares you own. Your proxy is being solicited by the boards of directors of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics. Whether or not you plan to attend your respective meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus. More information about the transactions and the proposals and resolutions are contained in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus provides important information regarding the Powerfleet special meeting and MiX extraordinary general meeting and a detailed description of the implementation agreement, the scheme and each of the proposals and resolutions related to the transactions. We urge you to read carefully and in its entirety the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus (including the annexes and any documents incorporated by reference into the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus).

You can also obtain information about Powerfleet and MiX Telematics from documents that Powerfleet and MiX Telematics previously have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

We hope to see you at the Powerfleet special meeting and MiX extraordinary general meeting and look forward to the successful implementation of the scheme and completion of the other transactions contemplated by the implementation agreement.

On behalf of the boards of directors of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics, we thank you for your consideration and continued support.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus or determined if the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus is accurate or complete.

MiX Telematics will inform MiX shareholders or their proxies who notified Computershare of their intended participation, by no later than 5:00 p.m., South African time, on February 27, 2024, by email of the relevant details through which MiX shareholders or their proxies can participate electronically. Should any electronic participation forms be submitted after 2:30 p.m., South African time, on February 26, 2024, Computershare shall reasonably endeavor to validate such requests prior to the commencement of the MiX extraordinary general meeting.

The purpose of the MiX extraordinary general meeting is to present to MiX shareholders, and, if deemed fit, to pass, with or without modification, the following resolutions (the “MiX resolutions”) as summarized below:

Resolutions 1 and 2 will be proposed as special resolutions and resolutions 3 and 4 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. Pursuant to the MiX memorandum, for each special resolution to be approved, it must be supported by at least 75% of the votes cast at the MiX extraordinary general meeting, and for each ordinary resolution, more than 50% of the votes cast at the MiX extraordinary general meeting, in each case not counting abstentions.

These items of business are described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus. The record date for MiX shareholders entitled to receive notice of the MiX extraordinary general meeting, or any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof, as determined by the MiX board is at the close of business on January 19, 2024. A complete list of such MiX shareholders will be open to the examination of any MiX shareholder at our principal executive offices at Matrix Corner, Howick Close, Waterfall Park, Midrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, 1686, for a period of ten days prior to the MiX extraordinary general meeting. The MiX extraordinary general meeting may be canceled or postponed by the MiX board at any time prior to the MiX extraordinary general meeting in accordance with the provisions of the MiX memorandum, the Companies Act, and the listings requirements of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the “JSE” and its listings requirements, the “JSE listings requirements”). If the MiX extraordinary general meeting is adjourned, and the location for holding the adjourned MiX extraordinary general meeting changes, then the MiX board shall give MiX shareholders notice in writing of any such change. In accordance with the JSE listings requirements and the Companies Act, the record date for MiX shareholders that are entitled to participate in and vote at the MiX extraordinary general meeting will be February 23, 2024.

A MiX shareholder that is entitled to participate and vote at the MiX extraordinary general meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy or two or more proxies to participate in and vote at the MiX extraordinary general meeting in the place of the MiX shareholder, by completing the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions set out therein and a proxy need not be a MiX shareholder. Meeting participants (including proxies) are required to provide reasonably satisfactory identification before being entitled to participate in a meeting. In this regard, all MiX shareholders recorded in our registers will be required to provide identification satisfactory to the chairperson of the MiX extraordinary general meeting. Forms of identification include valid identity documents, driver’s licenses and passports.

Holders of American Depositary Shares, each of which represents 25 MiX ordinary shares (“MiX ADSs”), may instruct The Bank of New York Mellon (the “depositary”), either directly or through their broker, bank or other securities intermediary, how to vote the MiX ordinary shares underlying their MiX ADSs. Please note that only MiX shareholders, and not holders of MiX ADSs (“MiX ADS holders”), are entitled to vote directly at the MiX extraordinary general meeting. The depositary has fixed a record date for the determination of MiX ADS holders who shall be entitled to give such voting instructions. MiX Telematics has been informed by the depositary that it has set the record date for MiX ADS holders with respect to the MiX extraordinary general meeting as January 26, 2024. So long as the depositary receives your voting instructions by 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 21, 2024, it will try, to the extent practicable and subject to South African law and the terms of the deposit agreement, to vote the underlying MiX ordinary shares as you instruct. If you wish to have your votes cast at the meeting as a MiX ADS holder, you must obtain, complete and timely return a voting instruction form from the depositary, if you are a registered MiX ADS holder, or from your broker, bank or other securities intermediary in accordance with any instructions provided therefrom.

If the depositary does not receive voting instructions from a MiX ADS holder regarding how to vote the MiX ordinary shares underlying its MiX ADSs, then such MiX ADS holder may be deemed to have instructed the depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by MiX Telematics with respect to the MiX ordinary shares underlying its MiX ADSs. The person designated by MiX Telematics is expected to vote such underlying MiX ordinary shares in favor of the MiX resolutions.

In connection with the scheme, MiX Telematics will pay any applicable fees, charges and expenses of the depositary and government charges due to or incurred by the depositary in connection with the cancellation of the MiX ADSs surrendered (and the underlying MiX ordinary shares), including applicable MiX ADS cash distribution fees, MiX ADS cancellation fees and depositary servicing fees (each up to $0.05 per MiX ADS pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement).

Your vote is important. Voting will ensure the presence of a quorum at the MiX extraordinary general meeting and will save us the expense of further solicitation. Please promptly vote by following the instructions for voting by completing, signing, dating and returning your form of proxy or proxy card or by Internet voting as described on your form of proxy or proxy card.

This Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus are first being distributed or made available, as the case may be, on or about January 29, 2024.

Each award of options to purchase MiX ordinary shares (each, a “MiX option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the scheme implementation date, whether or not vested or exercisable, will be assumed by Powerfleet and will have the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such MiX option immediately prior to the scheme implementation date, except that it will represent the right to purchase that number of shares of Powerfleet common stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of MiX ordinary shares underlying such MiX option immediately prior to the scheme implementation date by (y) the per share scheme consideration (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares), with a per-share exercise price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per MiX ordinary share subject to such MiX option immediately prior to the scheme implementation date by (B) the per share scheme consideration (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).

See “The Implementation Agreement—Treatment of MiX Telematics Equity Awards—MiX Telematics Options” beginning on page 105 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Treatment of MiX Telematics Restricted Share Unit Awards. Each award of restricted share units of MiX Telematics (each, a “MiX RSU”) that is outstanding and vested immediately prior to the scheme implementation date will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the scheme consideration, and each MiX RSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the scheme implementation date (an “unvested MiX RSU”) will be assumed by Powerfleet and will have the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such unvested MiX RSU immediately prior to the scheme implementation date, except that it will represent the right to receive that number of shares of Powerfleet common stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of MiX ordinary shares underlying such unvested MiX RSU immediately prior to the scheme implementation date by (y) the per share scheme consideration (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares).

See “The Implementation Agreement—Treatment of MiX Telematics Equity Awards—MiX Telematics Restricted Share Units” beginning on page 105 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

MiX Telematics. The MiX board has set the MiX voting record date for the MiX extraordinary general meeting as (i) February 23, 2024 for MiX shareholders, which is the date on which MiX shareholders are required to be recorded in the MiX share register in order to be eligible to attend, participate in and vote at the MiX extraordinary general meeting, and (ii) January 26, 2024 for MiX ADS holders, which is the date on which MiX ADS holders are required to be holders of MiX ADSs in order to have the right to give voting instructions to the depositary or their broker, bank or other securities intermediary, as applicable, with respect to the MiX ordinary shares underlying the MiX ADSs.

MiX Telematics. Each MiX voting record date is also earlier than the date of the MiX extraordinary general meeting and the date that the transactions are expected to be completed. If you transfer your MiX ordinary shares or MiX ADSs after the applicable MiX voting record date but before the MiX extraordinary general meeting, you will retain your right to attend and vote at the MiX extraordinary general meeting or give voting instructions, but will have transferred the right to receive the scheme consideration pursuant to the implementation agreement. In order to receive the scheme consideration, you must hold your shares through the scheme record date or until the date on which you surrender your MiX ADSs for exchange.

MiX Telematics. In order to participate in the MiX extraordinary general meeting via electronic communication, MiX shareholders on the MiX share register or their duly appointed proxies must either: (i) register online using the online registration portal at www.meetnow.global/za; or (ii) apply to Computershare, by delivering the duly completed electronic participation form, with their identification document or passport document, letter of representation and form of proxy (blue) (as applicable) to: First Floor, Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196, or posting it to Private Bag X3000, Saxonwold, 2132 (at the risk of the MiX shareholder), or sending it by email to proxy@computershare.co.za so as to be received by Computershare by no later than 2:30 p.m., South African time, on February 26, 2024 to assist in the efficient administration of the MiX extraordinary general meeting.

As a MiX ADS holder, you will not be entitled to vote at the MiX extraordinary general meeting. You may vote as a MiX ADS holder if you hold MiX ADSs or have MiX ADSs credited to your securities account with a brokerage firm, bank or other securities intermediary as of the close of business, Eastern Time, on January 26, 2024. If you held your MiX ADSs directly as of the MiX voting record date, so long as the depositary receives your voting instructions by 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 21, 2024, it will try, to the extent practicable and subject to South African law and the terms of the deposit agreement, to vote the underlying ordinary shares as you instruct. If you hold MiX ADSs through a brokerage firm, bank, or other securities intermediary as of the close of business, Eastern Time, on January 26, 2024, only that intermediary may give voting instructions to the depositary with respect to your MiX ADSs. If your MiX ADSs are held through a broker, bank or other securities intermediary, such intermediary will provide you with instructions on how you may give voting instructions with respect to the MiX ordinary shares underlying your MiX ADSs. Please check with your broker, bank or other securities intermediary, as applicable, and carefully follow the voting procedures provided to you.

For more information, see “The Extraordinary General Meeting of MiX Telematics’ Shareholders—Voting Your Shares” beginning on page 45 of the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Powerfleet stock issuance proposal, the Powerfleet charter amendment proposal and the Powerfleet compensation proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast at the Powerfleet special meeting, provided a quorum is present. The Powerfleet adjournment proposal also requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast but does not require the presence of a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Powerfleet stock issuance proposal, the Powerfleet charter amendment proposal, the Powerfleet compensation proposal and the Powerfleet adjournment proposal.

See “The Special Meeting of Powerfleet’s Stockholders—Vote Required; Recommendation of the Powerfleet Board of Directors” beginning on page 40 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

MiX shareholders will also be asked to consider and vote on the following ordinary resolutions:

The MiX scheme resolution and the MiX revocation resolution will be proposed as special resolutions and the MiX termination notice resolution and the MiX authorization resolution will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. Pursuant to the MiX memorandum, for each special resolution to be approved, it must be supported by at least 75% of the votes cast at the MiX extraordinary general meeting, and for each ordinary resolution, more than 50% of the votes cast at the MiX extraordinary general meeting, in each case not counting abstentions.

Pursuant to the MiX memorandum, the presence or representation by proxy (in each case, excluding the voting rights controlled by an acquiring party, a person related to an acquiring party, or a person acting in concert with either of them, as set forth in Section 115(4) of the Companies Act for purposes of the MiX scheme resolution) of at least three MiX shareholders entitled to attend, vote and to exercise, in aggregate, at least 25% of all of the voting rights that are entitled to be exercised in respect of at least one MiX resolution to be decided at the MiX extraordinary general meeting is required for the MiX extraordinary general meeting to begin. Additionally, the presence or representation by proxy (in each case, excluding the voting rights controlled by an acquiring party, a person related to an acquiring party, or a person acting in concert with either of them, as set forth in Section 115(4) of the Companies Act for purposes of the MiX scheme resolution) of at least three MiX shareholders entitled to attend, vote and to exercise, in aggregate, at least 25% of all of the voting rights that are entitled to be exercised in respect of a MiX resolution is necessary in order for such MiX resolution to be considered.

See “The Extraordinary General Meeting of MiX Telematics’ Shareholders—Vote Required; Recommendation of the MiX Telematics Independent Board of Directors” beginning on page 45 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

If you fail to instruct your broker, bank or other securities intermediary to vote your Powerfleet common stock and the broker, bank or other securities intermediary submits an unvoted proxy, the resulting “broker non-votes” will not be counted toward a quorum at the Powerfleet special meeting, and they will not be voted on any of the Powerfleet proposals.

If you fail to instruct your broker, bank or other securities intermediary to vote your MiX ordinary shares and the broker, bank or other securities intermediary submits an unvoted proxy, the resulting “broker non-votes” will generally not be counted towards a quorum at the MiX extraordinary general meeting or voted on any of the MiX resolutions and, as such, they will have no effect on the outcome of the MiX resolutions. However, if, as a MiX shareholder, you sign and return your proxy or authorize a proxy to vote electronically, your MiX ordinary shares will be counted towards a quorum even if you otherwise abstained or failed to vote as indicated in the proxy materials.

If the depositary does not receive voting instructions from a MiX ADS holder regarding how to vote the MiX ordinary shares underlying its MiX ADSs, then such MiX ADS holder may be deemed to have instructed the depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by MiX Telematics with respect to the MiX ordinary shares underlying such MiX ADSs. The person designated by MiX Telematics is expected to vote such underlying MiX ordinary shares in favor of the MiX resolutions. Additionally, broker non-votes in respect of MiX ADS holders may be considered present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum for the MiX extraordinary general meeting because of the discretionary proxy that may be deemed to have been given to a person designated by MiX Telematics in connection with uninstructed MiX ADSs, and the person designated by MiX Telematics is expected to vote such underlying MiX ordinary shares in favor of the MiX resolutions.

See “The Special Meeting of Powerfleet’s Stockholders—Voting Shares Held in Street Name” and “The Extraordinary General Meeting of MiX Telematics’ Shareholders—Voting Your Shares” beginning on pages 42 and 45, respectively of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

MiX Telematics. A withheld vote or abstention, as applicable, is not considered a vote cast with respect to any MiX resolution and will, therefore, not affect the outcome of any MiX resolution. Similarly, if the depositary does not receive voting instructions from a MiX ADS holder regarding how to vote the MiX ordinary shares underlying its MiX ADSs, then such MiX ADS holder may be deemed to have instructed the depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by MiX Telematics with respect to the MiX ordinary shares underlying such MiX ADSs. The person designated by MiX Telematics is expected to vote such underlying MiX ordinary shares in favor of the MiX resolutions.

See “The Special Meeting of Powerfleet’s Stockholders—Vote Required; Recommendation of the Powerfleet Board of Directors” and “The Extraordinary General Meeting of MiX Telematics’ Shareholders—Vote Required; Recommendation of the MiX Telematics Independent Board of Directors” beginning on pages 40 and 45, respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. A “broker non-vote” on a matter occurs when a broker, bank or representative may not vote on a particular matter because it does not have discretionary voting authority and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on any of the proposals, a share held by a broker without any voting instructions will not be deemed present or represented by proxy at the Powerfleet special meeting and will not count towards establishing a quorum.

MiX Telematics. Pursuant to the MiX memorandum, the presence or representation by proxy (in each case, excluding the voting rights controlled by an acquiring party, a person related to an acquiring party, or a person acting in concert with either of them, as set forth in Section 115(4) of the Companies Act for purposes of the MiX scheme resolution) of at least three MiX shareholders entitled to attend, vote and to exercise, in aggregate, at least 25% of all of the voting rights that are entitled to be exercised in respect of at least one MiX resolution to be decided at the MiX extraordinary general meeting is required for the MiX extraordinary general meeting to begin. Additionally, the presence or representation by proxy (in each case, excluding the voting rights controlled by an acquiring party, a person related to an acquiring party, or a person acting in concert with either of them, as set forth in Section 115(4) of the Companies Act for purposes of the MiX scheme resolution) of at least three MiX shareholders entitled to attend, vote and to exercise, in aggregate, at least 25% of all of the voting rights that are entitled to be exercised in respect of a MiX resolution is necessary in order for such MiX resolution to be considered.

A “broker non-vote” with respect to a MiX ordinary share will generally not be deemed present or represented by proxy at the MiX extraordinary general meeting and will not count towards establishing a quorum. However, if, as a MiX shareholder, you sign and return your proxy or authorize a proxy to vote electronically, your MiX ordinary shares will be counted towards a quorum even if you otherwise abstained or failed to vote as indicated in the proxy materials.

Broker non-votes in respect of MiX ADS holders may be considered present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum for the MiX extraordinary general meeting because of the discretionary proxy that may be deemed to have been given to a person designated by MiX Telematics in connection with uninstructed MiX ADSs, and the person designated by MiX Telematics is expected to vote such underlying MiX ordinary shares in favor of the MiX resolutions.

MiX Telematics. You are entitled to one vote for every MiX ordinary share (including those represented by MiX ADSs) that you owned as of the close of business on the applicable MiX voting record date. As of the close of business on the applicable MiX notice record date, there were 554,020,612 MiX ordinary shares and MiX ADSs representing 443,175,925 MiX ordinary shares were outstanding and entitled to vote at the MiX extraordinary general meeting.

The Powerfleet board recommends that Powerfleet stockholders vote:

See “The Special Meeting of Powerfleet’s Stockholders—Vote Required; Recommendation of the Powerfleet Board of Directors” and “Recommendation of the Powerfleet Board of Directors and Powerfleet’s Reasons for the Transactions” beginning on pages 40 and 63, respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

MiX Telematics. The MiX independent board, after due consideration of the independent expert’s opinion, placed reliance on the independent expert report and is of the opinion that the scheme and scheme consideration are fair and reasonable.

The MiX independent board unanimously recommends that MiX shareholders vote:

See “The Extraordinary General Meeting of MiX Telematics’ Shareholders—Vote Required; Recommendation of the MiX Telematics Independent Board of Directors” and “Recommendation of the MiX Telematics Independent Board of Directors and MiX Telematics’ Reasons for the Transactions” beginning on pages 45 and 67, respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

MiX Telematics. If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the MiX independent board. The recommendations of the MiX independent board established by the MiX board are set forth above, as well as with the description of each resolution in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

See “The Special Meeting of Powerfleet’s Stockholders—Voting Your Shares” and “The Extraordinary General Meeting of MiX Telematics’ Shareholders—Voting Your Shares” beginning on pages 41 and 45, respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

See “The Implementation Agreement—Conditions to the Scheme” beginning on page 117 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Additionally, Steve Towe will remain Chief Executive Officer of the combined company and David Wilson will remain the Chief Financial Officer of the combined company following the scheme implementation date.

For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the scheme, including tax consequences relating to tax basis and holding periods, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Scheme” beginning on page 89 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Tax matters relating to the scheme can be complicated, and the tax consequences of the scheme to a particular holder will depend on such holder’s particular facts and circumstances. All holders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the specific U.S. federal, state or local or foreign income or other tax consequences of the scheme to them.

MiX Telematics. MiX Telematics will bear all costs and expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including the costs of preparing, printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus for the MiX extraordinary general meeting. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by directors, officers or employees (for no additional compensation) in person or by telephone, electronic transmission and facsimile transmission. MiX Telematics has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the MiX extraordinary general meeting for a services fee of approximately $17,500, plus disbursements. Brokers, banks and other securities intermediaries will also be requested to solicit proxies or authorizations from beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This joint proxy statement/prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are not limited to historical facts, but reflect Powerfleet’s and/or MiX Telematics’ current beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future events. Statements in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act. 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. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ expectations with respect to the synergies, costs and other anticipated financial impacts of the transactions; future financial and operating results of the combined company; the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations and services; the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the transactions; and the timing of the completion of the transactions.

Although Powerfleet and MiX Telematics believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such expectations may not occur. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the combined company to be materially different from actual future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, as well as:

Powerfleet and MiX Telematics caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, neither Powerfleet nor MiX Telematics undertakes any obligation to update publicly or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In the event that a party does update any forward-looking statement, no inference should be made that the parties will make additional updates with respect to that statement, related matters or any other forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Powerfleet, MiX Telematics, the transactions or other matters and attributable to Powerfleet or MiX Telematics or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 23 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding how to vote. You also should read and consider the risk factors associated with each of the businesses of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics because these risk factors may affect the operations and financial results of the combined company. These risk factors may be found under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in Powerfleet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in MiX Telematics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, as such risks may be updated or supplemented in each company’s subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, each of which is on file with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Risks Relating to the Transactions

The number of shares of Powerfleet common stock that MiX shareholders will receive under the implementation agreement is based on a fixed exchange ratio. The market value of the shares of Powerfleet common stock to be issued upon completion of the transactions is unknown, and therefore, MiX shareholders cannot be certain, at the time they are being asked to vote, of the value of the scheme consideration to be paid in Powerfleet common stock.

MiX shareholders will receive a fixed number of shares of Powerfleet common stock in the transactions rather than a number of shares with a particular fixed market value. The market values of Powerfleet common stock and MiX ordinary shares (and MiX ADSs) have fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the transactions and will continue to fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to the date of the Powerfleet special meeting, the date of the MiX extraordinary general meeting and the closing date of the transactions, which could occur a considerable amount of time after the date of the Powerfleet special meeting and the date of the MiX extraordinary general meeting. The market values of Powerfleet common stock and MiX ordinary shares (and MiX ADSs) at the time of the closing of the transactions may vary significantly from their prices on the date of the implementation agreement, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or the date of the Powerfleet special meeting or the MiX extraordinary general meeting. Because the exchange ratio will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market prices of Powerfleet common stock or MiX ordinary shares (or MiX ADSs), the market value of the Powerfleet common stock issued as the scheme consideration shares and MiX ordinary shares (including those represented by MiX ADSs) exchanged in the transactions may be higher or lower than the values of such shares on earlier dates. The scheme consideration to be received by MiX shareholders will be solely shares of Powerfleet common stock, except that any entitlements to fractions of shares of Powerfleet common stock that otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the scheme will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares and a cash payment will be made for any fractional shares resulting from such rounding. Although the consideration to be received by MiX shareholders is set, the market value of the scheme consideration to be received by MiX shareholders that is comprised of Powerfleet common stock will fluctuate. On October 9, 2023, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the transactions, the market value of the scheme consideration was approximately $139.3 million based on the closing price of Powerfleet common stock on October 9, 2023. On January 19, 2024, the last practicable day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the market value of the scheme consideration was approximately $235.4 million based on the closing price of Powerfleet common stock on January 19, 2024. As such, at the time of the MiX extraordinary general meeting and the Powerfleet special meeting, MiX shareholders and Powerfleet stockholders will not know or be able to determine with certainty the value of the scheme consideration.

Changes in the market prices of Powerfleet common stock and MiX ordinary shares (and MiX ADSs) may result from a variety of factors that are beyond the control of Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, including changes in their businesses, operations and prospects, regulatory considerations, governmental actions, and legal proceedings and developments. You are urged to obtain up-to-date prices for Powerfleet common stock and MiX ordinary shares (and MiX ADSs).

The parties may not realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the transactions.

While Powerfleet and MiX Telematics will continue to operate independently until the completion of the transactions, the success of the transactions will depend, in part, on Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses. The parties’ ability to realize these anticipated benefits and cost savings is subject to certain risks, including, among others:

If Powerfleet and MiX Telematics are not able to successfully integrate their businesses within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated cost savings, synergies operational efficiencies and other benefits of the transactions may not be realized fully or may take longer to realize than expected, and the combined company may not perform as expected.

Integrating Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected.

Powerfleet and MiX Telematics have operated and, until completion of the transactions, will continue to operate independently, and there can be no assurances that their businesses can be integrated successfully. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of either company’s or both companies’ ongoing businesses or unexpected integration issues, such as higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. Specifically, issues that must be addressed in integrating the operations of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the transactions so the combined business performs as expected include, among others:

In addition, at times, the attention of certain members of each company’s management and each company’s resources may be focused on completion of the transactions and the integration of the businesses of the two companies and diverted from day-to-day business operations, which may disrupt each company’s ongoing business and, consequently, the business of the combined company.

Failure to complete the transactions could negatively impact the price of Powerfleet common stock, MiX ordinary shares and MiX ADSs and the future business and financial results of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics.

The parties’ respective obligations to complete the transactions are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions set forth in the implementation agreement. There can be no assurance that the conditions to completion of the transactions will be satisfied or waived or that the transactions will be completed. If the transactions are not completed for any reason, the ongoing businesses of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics may be materially and adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the transactions, Powerfleet and MiX Telematics would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

In addition, each of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the transactions or related to any proceeding to specifically enforce Powerfleet’s or MiX Telematics’ obligations under the implementation agreement.

If any of these risks materialize, they may materially and adversely affect Powerfleet’s or MiX Telematics’ business, financial condition, financial results and the price of Powerfleet common stock, MiX ordinary shares and MiX ADSs.

For a description of the circumstances under which a termination fee is payable, see “The Implementation Agreement—Termination Fees” beginning on page 123 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Powerfleet and MiX Telematics will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the transactions are pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the transactions on employees, vendors and customers may have an adverse effect on Powerfleet or MiX Telematics and, consequently, on the combined company after the closing of the transactions. These uncertainties may impair Powerfleet’s or MiX Telematics’ ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause customers and others that deal with Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, to defer or decline entering into contracts, or making other decisions concerning Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, or seek to change existing business relationships with Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable. In addition, if key employees depart because of uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the transactions, Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses could be harmed. Furthermore, the implementation agreement places certain restrictions on the operation of Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses prior to the closing of the transactions, which may delay or prevent Powerfleet and MiX Telematics from undertaking certain actions or business opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the transactions. See “The Implementation Agreement—Conduct of Business Prior to Scheme Implementation Date” beginning on page 107 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to Powerfleet and MiX Telematics.

Third parties may terminate or alter existing contracts or relationships with Powerfleet or MiX Telematics.

Each of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics has contracts with customers, vendors and other business partners which may require Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, to obtain consents from these other parties in connection with the transactions. If these consents cannot be obtained, the counterparties to these contracts and other third parties with which Powerfleet and/or MiX Telematics currently have relationships may have the ability to terminate, reduce the scope of or otherwise materially adversely alter their relationships with either party in anticipation of the transactions, or with Powerfleet following the transactions. The pursuit of such rights may result in Powerfleet or MiX Telematics suffering a loss of potential future revenue, incurring liabilities in connection with a breach of such agreements or losing rights that are material to its business. Any such disruptions could limit Powerfleet’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the transactions. The adverse effect of such disruptions could also be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the transactions or the termination of the transactions.

In order to complete the transactions, the parties must obtain certain governmental approvals, and if such approvals are not granted or are granted with conditions that become applicable to the parties, completion of the transactions may be jeopardized or prevented or the anticipated benefits of the transactions could be reduced.

Consummation of the transactions is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of certain governmental approvals, including approvals required under South African law. Although the parties have agreed in the implementation agreement to use their reasonable best efforts to make certain governmental filings and obtain the required governmental approvals, there can be no assurance that the required approvals will be obtained and no assurance that the transactions will be completed.

In addition, the governmental authorities from which these approvals are required have broad discretion in administering the governing laws and regulations, and may take into account various facts and circumstances in their consideration of the transactions. These governmental authorities may initiate proceedings seeking to prevent, or otherwise seek to prevent, the transactions. As a condition to the approval of the transactions, these governmental authorities also may impose requirements, limitations or costs, require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company’s business after completion of the transactions. Conditions imposed by certain governmental authorities may be appealable; however, there can be no assurance that an appeal will be successful. Additionally, there is no certainty as to what conditions such governmental authorities may impose, the extent of such conditions or the impact of such conditions on the completion of the transactions. See “The Implementation Agreement—Conditions to the Scheme” beginning on page 117 for a discussion of the conditions to the implementation of the scheme and “Regulatory Approvals” beginning on page 87 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of the regulatory approvals required in connection with the consummation of the transactions.

The transactions are subject to a number of closing conditions and, if these conditions are not satisfied, the implementation agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the transactions may not be completed. In addition, the parties have the right to terminate the implementation agreement under other specified circumstances, in which case the transactions would not be completed.

The transactions are subject to a number of closing conditions and, if these conditions are not satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted by law), the transactions will not be completed. These conditions include, among others: (i) absence of certain legal impediments, (ii) effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the transactions, (iii) registration under the Companies Act, and approval by the JSE, of a prospectus to be issued in South Africa relating to the transactions, (iv) receipt of required regulatory approvals, including the issuance by the TRP of a compliance certificate in respect of the scheme, approval of applicable competition authorities to implement the scheme, approval of the JSE with respect to the scheme and the delisting of MiX ordinary shares from the JSE, and approval of the SARB as required under South African Exchange Control Regulations in respect of the scheme and the Powerfleet secondary listing, (v) receipt of approvals of applicable regulatory authorities for distribution of a scheme circular to MiX Telematics’ shareholders, (vi) receipt by MiX Telematics of a final fair and reasonable opinion of an independent expert, as required by the Companies Act, (vii) receipt by MiX Telematics of the MiX specified shareholder approval, (viii) receipt by Powerfleet of the Powerfleet specified stockholder approval, (ix) receipt of required JSE approvals for the Powerfleet secondary listing, (x) approval for listing on Nasdaq and the JSE of the scheme consideration shares, and (xi) closing of debt and/or equity financing in an amount sufficient to provide for the redemption in full in cash of all outstanding shares of the Powerfleet’s Series A preferred stock.

The conditions to the closing may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the transactions may not be completed. In addition, if the transactions are not completed by March 31, 2024 (as such date may be extended in accordance with the implementation agreement), any party may choose not to proceed with the transactions. Moreover, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the implementation agreement at any time prior to the consummation of the transactions, before or after receipt of the Powerfleet specified stockholder approval and MiX specified shareholder approval, subject to approval by the TRP, and each party may elect to terminate the implementation agreement in certain other circumstances, as described in “The Implementation Agreement—Termination.” If the implementation agreement is terminated, Powerfleet and MiX Telematics may incur substantial fees and expenses in connection with termination of the implementation agreement, which may include payment of a termination fee, and neither of them will realize the anticipated benefits of the transactions. For a description of the circumstances under which a termination fee is payable, see “The Implementation Agreement—Termination Fees” beginning on page 123 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Powerfleet or MiX Telematics may waive one or more of the closing conditions to the transactions without re-soliciting shareholder approval.

Each of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics has the right to waive certain of the closing conditions to the transactions. Any such waiver may not require re-solicitation of shareholders, in which case stockholders of Powerfleet and shareholders of MiX Telematics will not have the chance to change their votes as a result of any such waiver, and Powerfleet and MiX Telematics will have the ability to complete the transactions without seeking further shareholder approval. Any determination whether to waive any condition to the transactions, whether shareholder approval would be re-solicited as a result of any such waiver or whether this joint proxy statement/prospectus would be amended as a result of any waiver will be made by Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, at the time of such waiver based on the facts and circumstances as they exist at that time, and any such waiver could have an adverse effect on Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable.

Both Powerfleet stockholders and MiX shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the transactions and will exercise less influence over management.

After the completion of the transactions, Powerfleet’s stockholders and MiX Telematics’ shareholders will own a smaller percentage of Powerfleet than they currently own of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics, respectively. Based on the number of shares of Powerfleet common stock and MiX ordinary shares (including those represented by MiX ADSs) outstanding and the exchange ratio, it is expected that MiX securityholders will own approximately 65.5%, and Powerfleet securityholders will own approximately 34.5%, of the combined company immediately after consummation of the transactions on a fully diluted basis. Consequently, Powerfleet stockholders, as a group, and MiX shareholders and MiX ADS holders, as a group, will each have reduced ownership and voting power in the combined company compared to their current ownership and voting power in Powerfleet and MiX Telematics, respectively. In particular, Powerfleet stockholders, as a group, will have less than a majority of the ownership and voting power of Powerfleet and, therefore, will be able to exercise less collective influence over the management and policies of Powerfleet than they currently exercise. While MiX shareholders and MiX ADS holders will own a majority of Powerfleet common stock immediately after consummation of the transactions, their collective ownership percentage will likewise be reduced compared to their current level, as will be their ability to influence management and policies.

There can be no assurance that Powerfleet will be able to secure the financing necessary to fund the redemption of Powerfleet’s Series A preferred stock in full.

The closing of debt and/or equity financing in an amount sufficient to provide for the redemption in full in cash of all outstanding shares of Powerfleet’s Series A preferred stock is a condition to closing of the transactions. Powerfleet currently intends to redeem all of its outstanding Series A preferred stock for cash as part of the transactions; however, there is no assurance that it will secure the financing necessary to do so. Powerfleet cannot assure stockholders that it will be able to obtain financing in connection with the contemplated redemption on commercially reasonable terms, in a timely manner, or at all, to fund the offer to redeem the Series A preferred stock in full in cash.

In the event that Powerfleet is unable to secure financing on acceptable terms, the redemption of its Series A preferred stock may be delayed or not be completed and consummation of the transactions may be delayed or may not occur. If the Series A preferred stock is not redeemed in full in cash, the holders of the Series A preferred stock have the right to consent to the consummation of the transactions. If the Series A preferred stock is not redeemed in full in cash, then there is no assurance that such holders of the Series A preferred stock will issue such consent. See “Financing of the Transactions” beginning on page 84 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The Series A preferred stock ranks senior to the Powerfleet common stock, including with respect to dividend rights and rights upon a liquidation. In the event any shares of Series A preferred stock are not redeemed for any reason and remain outstanding following completion of the transactions, the Powerfleet common stock will continue to be subject to these preferential rights.

The holders of the Series A preferred stock may not consent to the consummation of the transactions if they are not redeemed in full in cash at the closing.

Under the Powerfleet charter, the holders of the Series A preferred stock have the right to consent to the transactions unless they are redeemed in full in cash. If Powerfleet is unable to raise the financing (as defined in “The Implementation Agreement—Financing”), even though the parties may elect to waive such condition to closing, the failure to obtain such financing would trigger the consent right of the holders of the Series A preferred stock. There is no assurance that the holders of the Series A preferred stock will grant their consent if they are not redeemed in full in cash.

The implementation agreement limits Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ ability to pursue alternatives to the transactions.

The implementation agreement contains provisions that make it more difficult for Powerfleet and MiX Telematics to enter into alternative transactions. The implementation agreement contains certain provisions that restrict Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ ability to solicit or facilitate proposals from third parties with respect to transactions involving the financing or sale of Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, or provide non-public information to, or otherwise participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties or take certain other actions that would reasonably be expected to lead to a third-party acquisition proposal. Further, there are only limited exceptions to Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ agreement that the Powerfleet board will not change its recommendation in favor of approval of the issuance of the scheme consideration shares and the charter amendment, and the MiX independent board will not change its recommendation in favor of approval of the scheme. However, at any time prior to the receipt of the Powerfleet stockholder approval or the MiX shareholder approval, as applicable, in response to an unsolicited superior proposal made by a third party, the Powerfleet board or the MiX independent board may make an adverse recommendation change, and (in the case of MiX, subject to shareholder approval) terminate the implementation agreement to enter into an alternative acquisition agreement, if such board concludes in good faith, after consultation with its respective outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Powerfleet board, the MiX board or the MiX independent board, as applicable, under the circumstances and under applicable law. See “The Implementation Agreement—No Solicitation” beginning on page 110 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition, Powerfleet or MiX Telematics may be required to pay a termination fee equal to the lesser of (x) $1,500,000 and (y) 1% of the value of the scheme consideration shares based on the closing price of Powerfleet common stock on the business day immediately prior to such termination fee becoming due to the other party if the scheme is not consummated under specified circumstances. See “The Implementation Agreement—Termination Fees” beginning on page 123 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including as described above, for a description of the circumstances under which such a termination fee is payable. Upon receipt of the MiX specified shareholder approval, MiX Telematics’ right to terminate the implementation agreement in response to a superior proposal will cease. Upon receipt of the Powerfleet specified stockholder approval, Powerfleet’s right to terminate the implementation agreement in response to a superior proposal will cease.

While Powerfleet and MiX Telematics believe these provisions are reasonable, customary and not preclusive of other offers, the provisions might discourage a third party that has an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of MiX Telematics or Powerfleet from considering or proposing such an acquisition, even if such party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per-share value than the currently proposed scheme consideration or if such party were prepared to enter into an agreement that may be more favorable to Powerfleet or MiX Telematics or their respective stockholders or shareholders, as applicable.

The financial analyses and forecasts considered by Powerfleet and MiX Telematics and their respective financial advisor or independent expert, as applicable, may not be realized, which may adversely affect the market price of Powerfleet common stock following the completion of the transactions.

In performing their financial analyses and rendering their opinions related to the transactions, Powerfleet’s financial advisor and MiX Telematics’ independent expert relied on, among other things, certain information, including financial forecasts and projections of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics provided by Powerfleet and MiX Telematics. See “Opinion of Powerfleet’s Financial Advisor” and “Opinion of MiX Telematics’ Independent Expert” beginning on page 72 and 80, respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. These projections and forecasts were prepared by, or at the direction of, the management of Powerfleet or the management of MiX Telematics, as applicable. None of these projections or forecasts were prepared with a view towards public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC, GAAP or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts. These projections and forecasts are inherently based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of those preparing them. These projections and forecasts are also subject to change, including due to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics. There can be no assurance that Powerfleet’s or MiX Telematics’ financial condition or results of operations will be consistent with those set forth in such projections and forecasts, which could have an adverse impact on the market price of Powerfleet common stock or the financial position of Powerfleet following the transactions.

The financial forecasts are based on various assumptions that may not be realized.

The unaudited prospective financial information set forth in the forecasts included under the sections “Overview of the Transactions—Powerfleet Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” and “Overview of the Transactions—MiX Telematics Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” were prepared solely for internal use and are subjective in many respects. Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ prospective financial information were based solely upon assumptions of, and information available to, Powerfleet’s management and MiX Telematics’ management, as applicable, when prepared, and these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainties, many of which are beyond Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ control and may not be realized. Many factors mentioned in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the risks outlined in this “Risk Factors” section and the events or circumstances described under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” will be important in determining the combined company’s future results. As a result of these contingencies, actual future results may vary materially from Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ estimates. In view of these uncertainties, the inclusion of prospective financial information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is not and should not be viewed as a representation that the forecasted results will necessarily reflect actual future results.

The unaudited prospective financial information set forth in the forecasts included under the sections “Overview of the Transactions—Powerfleet Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” and “Overview of the Transactions—MiX Telematics Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” was not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation or presentation of prospective financial information. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and neither Powerfleet nor MiX Telematics undertakes any obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update, correct or otherwise revise the unaudited prospective financial information herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date such prospective financial information was prepared or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying any such prospective financial information are no longer appropriate (even in the short term).

The unaudited prospective financial information of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, the management of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics, as applicable, and has not been audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying unaudited prospective financial information and, accordingly, no independent registered public accounting firm expresses an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability and assumes no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. The audited financial statements of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics do not extend to the unaudited prospective financial information and should not be read to do so. See “Overview of the Transactions—Powerfleet Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” and “Overview of the Transactions—MiX Telematics Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” beginning on pages 69 and 71, respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary and Powerfleet’s actual financial position or results of operations after the transactions may differ materially.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Powerfleet’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the transactions been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to allocate the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated acquisition-date fair values. The purchase price allocation reflected in this document is preliminary, and a final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of MiX Telematics that existed as of the date of the completion of the transactions. In addition, subsequent to the closing date, there may be further refinements of the purchase price allocation as additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma information reflected in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. For more information, see “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information” beginning on page 126 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Executive officers and directors of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics may have interests in the transactions that are different from, or in addition to, the rights of their respective stockholders.

Executive officers of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics negotiated the terms of the implementation agreement and the Powerfleet board and the MiX independent board each approved the implementation agreement and the transactions and recommend that you vote at each respective meeting in favor of the proposals or resolutions, as applicable. These executive officers and directors may have interests in the transactions that are different from, or in addition to, yours. These interests include the continued employment of certain executive officers of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics, the continued service of certain directors of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics, and the indemnification of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics executive officers and directors by Powerfleet. With respect to Powerfleet directors and executive officers, these interests also include acceleration of vesting of unvested equity grants that are subject to time-based vesting conditions. With respect to certain Powerfleet executive officers, these interests also include transaction-related cash bonus payments upon closing of the transactions and severance payments upon qualifying terminations of employment. Subject to Powerfleet’s consent, MiX Telematics may waive the performance conditions applicable to all MiX SARs, some of which are held by certain MiX Telematics executive officers, which will be assumed by Powerfleet upon completion of the transactions. MiX Telematics directors will not be granted any special benefits in connection with the transactions. Additionally, certain related persons engaged by MiX Telematics in connection with the transactions will be entitled to a success fee upon the closing of the transactions. Shareholders should be aware of these interests when they consider their board of directors’ recommendation that shareholders vote in favor of the transactions. For a description of the interests of Powerfleet executive officers and directors in the transactions, see “Interests of Powerfleet Directors and Executive Officers in the Transactions” beginning on page 84 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. For a description of the interests of MiX Telematics executive officers and directors in the transactions, see “Interests of MiX Telematics Directors, Executive Officers and Certain Related Persons in the Transactions” beginning on page 87 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The shares of Powerfleet to be received by MiX shareholders as a result of the transactions will have rights that are different from the rights of MiX ordinary shares.

Following completion of the transactions, MiX shareholders will no longer be MiX shareholders but will instead be Powerfleet stockholders governed by Delaware law, the Powerfleet charter and Powerfleet bylaws. There will be important differences between your current rights as a MiX shareholder and your rights as a Powerfleet stockholder. See “Comparison of the Rights of Holders of MiX Ordinary Shares and Powerfleet Common Stock” beginning on page 135 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the different rights of MiX ordinary shares, on the one hand, and Powerfleet common stock, on the other hand.

Powerfleet, MiX Telematics and, subsequently, the combined company may have difficulty attracting, motivating and retaining executives and other key employees in light of the transactions.

The combined company’s success after the transactions will depend in part on each of Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ ability to retain key executives and other employees. Uncertainty about the effect of the transactions on Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ employees may have an adverse effect on each company separately and, consequently, the combined business. This uncertainty may impair Powerfleet’s and/or MiX Telematics’ ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. Employee retention may be particularly challenging during the pendency of the transactions, as Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles in the combined business.

Additionally, MiX Telematics’ officers and employees hold MiX ordinary shares, and, if the transactions are completed, these officers and employees will be entitled to the scheme consideration in respect of such shares. Subject to Powerfleet’s consent, MiX Telematics may waive the performance conditions applicable to all MiX SARs, some of which are held by certain MiX Telematics executive officers, which will be assumed by Powerfleet upon completion of the transactions. Because the vesting and exercise of such MiX SARs will no longer be subject to the continued employment of these officers and employees of MiX Telematics, it could make their retention more difficult. This may also be the case for Powerfleet officers and employees whose time-based equity grants are accelerated upon completion of the transactions.

Furthermore, if any of Powerfleet’s or MiX Telematics’ key employees depart or are at risk of departing, including because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration, financial security or a desire not to become employees of the combined business, Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, as applicable, may have to incur significant costs in retaining such individuals or in identifying, hiring and retaining replacements for departing employees and may lose significant expertise and talent, and the combined company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the transactions may be materially and adversely affected. No assurance can be given that the combined company will be able to attract or retain key employees to the same extent that Powerfleet or MiX Telematics has been able to attract or retain employees in the past.

As a result of the scheme, the ability to use Powerfleet’s net operating loss carryovers may be significantly limited, which may result in Powerfleet being subject to higher effective tax rates.

Powerfleet experienced a prior ownership change in 2019 that resulted in an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code in respect of loss carryovers at that time. In addition, it is expected that, as a result of the scheme, Powerfleet will undergo another ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. As a result, the ability to use Powerfleet’s net operating loss carryovers incurred prior to the ownership change against income arising after the ownership change may be significantly limited under Section 382 of the Code and under similar provisions of state and local law. Accordingly, Powerfleet may have to report higher taxable income and may be subject to higher effective tax rates than it otherwise would have in the absence of this limitation. In addition, as a result of this limitation, some of Powerfleet’s net operating losses may actually expire unused.

If the scheme does not qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, MiX shareholders may be required to pay substantial taxes.

The scheme is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and Powerfleet and MiX Telematics intend to report the scheme consistent with such qualification. It is a condition to MiX Telematics’ obligation to closing of the transactions that it receives an opinion of counsel to the effect that the scheme should qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The opinion will be based on representations from each of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics and on customary factual assumptions, as well as certain covenants and undertakings by Powerfleet and MiX Telematics. If any of such representations, assumptions, covenants or undertakings is or becomes incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate or is violated, the validity of the opinion described above may be affected and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the scheme could differ materially from those described herein. An opinion of counsel represents such counsel’s best legal judgment but is not binding on the IRS or any court, so there can be no certainty that the IRS will not challenge the conclusion reflected in the opinion or that a court will not sustain such a challenge. Neither Powerfleet nor MiX Telematics intends to obtain a ruling from the IRS with respect to the tax consequences of the scheme as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If the IRS or a court determines that the scheme is not treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder generally would recognize taxable gain or loss upon the exchange of MiX ordinary shares (or those represented by MiX ADSs) for Powerfleet common stock pursuant to the scheme. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Scheme.”

Even if the scheme qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder may still recognize gain as a result of the scheme if MiX Telematics is or was classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held MiX ordinary shares.

Even if the scheme qualifies as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, if MiX Telematics was a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder owned (or is deemed to own) MiX ordinary shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including recognition of gain, could apply to such U.S. holder as a result of the scheme. MiX Telematics has advised Powerfleet that MiX Telematics believes it was never a PFIC at any time and that, based on the current and anticipated composition of its and its subsidiaries’ income, assets and operations, MiX Telematics does not expect to be a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2023. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Scheme—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” beginning on page 91 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. U.S. holders of MiX ordinary shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible classification of MiX Telematics as a PFIC and the resulting U.S. federal income tax considerations.

Following the scheme, non-U.S. holders of Powerfleet common stock may be subject to U.S. federal withholding and income tax.

Distributions to non-U.S. holders with respect to Powerfleet common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) to the extent such distributions are dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Scheme—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of the Ownership and Disposition of Powerfleet Common Stock” beginning on page 92 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for more information. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors as to the particular consequences that may apply to such non-U.S. holders.

Powerfleet and MiX Telematics will incur significant transaction and scheme-related transition costs in connection with the transactions.

Powerfleet and MiX Telematics expect that they will incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the transactions and integrating the operations of the two companies post-closing. Powerfleet and/or MiX Telematics may incur additional costs to retain key employees. Powerfleet and/or MiX Telematics will also incur significant fees and expenses relating to financing arrangements and legal services (including any costs that would be incurred in defending against any potential class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits in connection with the transactions if any such proceedings are brought), accounting and other fees and costs associated with consummating the transactions. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the transactions are completed. In addition, MiX Telematics or Powerfleet may be required to pay a termination fee equal to the lesser of (x) $1,500,000 and (y) 1% of the value of the scheme consideration shares based on the closing price of Powerfleet common stock on the business day immediately prior to such termination fee becoming due to the other party if the implementation agreement is terminated under specified circumstances described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Though Powerfleet and MiX Telematics continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the transactions and the integration of the businesses of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics.

While the Powerfleet common stock is expected to be listed on the JSE, there is no guarantee as to how long such listing will be maintained.

Certain holders of MiX ordinary shares are residents of the Republic of South Africa and would be unable to hold shares of Powerfleet common stock, which they stand to receive as consideration upon consummation of the transactions, if the Powerfleet common stock is not listed on the JSE. While Powerfleet expects to list the Powerfleet common stock on the JSE by way of a secondary inward listing, there can be no assurance that such listing will be approved by the JSE. Additionally, the continued listing of Powerfleet common stock on the JSE is subject to various factors, such as compliance with the continued listing standards of the JSE. In the event that Powerfleet fails to meet the continued listing standards of the JSE, the Powerfleet common stock may be delisted from the JSE, which could adversely affect the liquidity and market price of Powerfleet common stock or the ability of South African residents to continue to hold this stock.

The opinions of Powerfleet’s financial advisor and MiX Telematics’ independent expert will not be updated to reflect changes in circumstances between the signing of the implementation agreement in October 2023 and the completion of the transactions, with respect to the opinion of Powerfleet’s financial advisor, and the issuance of the scheme circular and the completion of the transactions, with respect to the opinion of MiX Telematics’ independent expert.

Neither Powerfleet nor MiX Telematics has obtained an updated opinion from its financial advisor or independent expert, as applicable, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. MiX Telematics’ independent expert has updated its opinion as of the date the scheme circular was submitted to the JSE for formal approval; however, Powerfleet does not anticipate asking its financial advisor to update its opinion. Changes in the operations and prospects of Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Powerfleet or MiX Telematics, and on which Powerfleet’s financial advisors’ opinion and MiX Telematics’ independent expert’s opinion were based in part, may significantly alter the prices of the shares of Powerfleet common stock or MiX ordinary shares (or MiX ADSs) by the closing date. The opinions do not speak as of the time the transactions will be completed or as of any date other than the dates of such opinions. Because Powerfleet’s financial advisor and MiX Telematics’ independent expert will not be updating their opinions as of the closing date of the transactions, the opinions will not address the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the scheme consideration to be received by holders of MiX ordinary shares (and MiX ADS holders) at the closing date. The Powerfleet board’s recommendation that Powerfleet stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Powerfleet proposals included herein and the MiX independent board’s recommendation that MiX shareholders vote “FOR” each of the MiX resolutions included herein, however, are made as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. For a description of the opinions that Powerfleet received from its financial advisor and MiX Telematics received from its independent expert, see “Opinion of Powerfleet’s Financial Advisor” and “Opinion of MiX Telematics’ Independent Expert” beginning on pages 72 and 80, respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Powerfleet and MiX Telematics may be the target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the transactions from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into business combination agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on Powerfleet’s or MiX Telematics’ liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the transactions, then that injunction may delay or prevent the transactions from being completed, which may adversely affect Powerfleet’s or MiX Telematics’ or, if the transactions are completed but delayed, the combined company’s business, financial position and results of operations. As of January 19, 2024, the last practicable day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, no such lawsuits have been filed in connection with the transactions and we cannot predict whether any will be filed.

Risks Relating to the Combined Company after Completion of the Transactions

In connection with the transactions, the combined company may incur significant indebtedness to finance the redemption of Powerfleet’s Series A preferred stock in full in cash.

The closing of debt and/or equity financing in an amount sufficient to provide for the redemption in full in cash of all outstanding shares of the Powerfleet’s Series A preferred stock is a condition to closing of the transactions. If such financing involves debt, such indebtedness will have the effect, among other things, of reducing the combined company’s flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions, will increase the combined company’s borrowing costs and, to the extent that such indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates, may increase the combined company’s vulnerability to fluctuations in market interest rates. The increased levels of indebtedness could also reduce funds available to fund efforts to combine Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses and realize expected benefits of the transactions and/or engage in investments in product development, capital expenditures and other activities and may create competitive disadvantages for the combined company relative to other companies with lower debt levels. The combined company may be required to raise additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes. The combined company’s ability to arrange additional financing will depend on, among other factors, its financial position and performance, as well as prevailing market conditions and other factors beyond its control. Powerfleet and MiX Telematics cannot assure you that they will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to them or at all. See “Financing Relating to the Transactions” beginning on page 22 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The combined company will be subject to the risks that each of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics faces.

Following completion of the transactions, the combined company will be subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including the risks faced by each of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics, which are described in the documents that each company has filed with the SEC, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 of Powerfleet filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on May 1, 2023, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 of MiX Telematics filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023, each as updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If any such risks actually occur, the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the combined company could be materially adversely affected. See “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 143 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The market price for shares of Powerfleet common stock may be affected by factors different from those affecting the market price for MiX ordinary shares (or MiX ADSs).

Upon completion of the transactions, holders of MiX ordinary shares (and MiX ADS holders) will become holders of Powerfleet common stock. Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ respective businesses differ, and accordingly the results of operations of the combined company will be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the results of operations of each of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics. For a discussion of the businesses of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics and of certain factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 of Powerfleet filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on May 1, 2023, and the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 of MiX Telematics on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023 and referred to in “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 143 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, as updated by Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Powerfleet and MiX Telematics and future filings after the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC by Powerfleet and MiX Telematics.

The market price for shares of Powerfleet common stock may decline as a result of the transactions, including as a result of some Powerfleet stockholders adjusting their portfolios.

The market value of Powerfleet common stock at the time of consummation of the transactions may vary significantly from the prices of the Powerfleet common stock and MiX ordinary shares on the date the implementation agreement was executed, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the dates of the Powerfleet special meeting and the MiX extraordinary general meeting. Following consummation of the transactions, the market price of Powerfleet common stock may decline if, among other things, the operational cost savings estimates in connection with the integration of Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses are not realized, or if the costs related to the transactions are greater than expected, or if the financing related to the transactions is on unfavorable terms. The market price also may decline if Powerfleet does not achieve the perceived benefits of the transactions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or if the effect of the transactions on Powerfleet’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

In addition, sales of Powerfleet common stock by Powerfleet’s stockholders after the completion of the transactions may cause the market price of Powerfleet common stock to decrease. Based on the number of shares of Powerfleet common stock and MiX ordinary shares (including those represented by MiX ADSs) outstanding as of January 19, 2024, the latest practicable date before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, approximately 113,363,847 shares of Powerfleet common stock are expected to be issued and outstanding immediately after the closing of the transactions (including 5,445,000 shares of Powerfleet common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock option and restricted stock awards of Powerfleet that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions). Many MiX shareholders may decide not to hold the shares of Powerfleet common stock that they receive in the transactions. Other Powerfleet stockholders following consummation of the transactions, such as funds with limitations on their permitted holdings of stock in individual issuers, may be required to sell the shares of Powerfleet common stock that they receive in the transactions. Such sales of Powerfleet common stock could have the effect of depressing the market price for Powerfleet common stock and may take place promptly following the transactions.

Any of these events may make it more difficult for Powerfleet to sell equity or equity-related securities, dilute your ownership interest in Powerfleet and have an adverse impact on the price of Powerfleet common stock.

The transactions may not be accretive, and may be dilutive, to the combined company’s earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of shares of Powerfleet common stock.

Powerfleet and MiX Telematics currently believe the transactions will result in a number of benefits, including cost savings, operating efficiencies, and stronger demand for their respective products and services, and that the transactions will be accretive to Powerfleet’s earnings. This belief is based, in part, on preliminary current estimates that may materially change. In addition, future events and conditions, including adverse changes in market conditions, additional transaction and integration-related costs and other factors such as the failure to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the transactions, could decrease or delay the accretion that is currently anticipated or could result in dilution. Any dilution of, or decrease in or delay of any accretion to, the combined company’s earnings per share could cause the price of shares of Powerfleet common stock to decline or grow at a reduced rate.

Other Risks Relating to Powerfleet and MiX Telematics

As a result of entering into the implementation agreement, Powerfleet’s and MiX Telematics’ businesses are, and will continue to be, subject to the risks described above. In addition, Powerfleet and MiX Telematics are, and following completion of the transaction, the combined company will be, subject to the risks described in Powerfleet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and MiX Telematics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, each as updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF POWERFLEET’S STOCKHOLDERS

Overview

This joint proxy statement/prospectus is being provided to Powerfleet stockholders as part of a solicitation of proxies by the Powerfleet board for use at the Powerfleet special meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of such meeting. This joint proxy statement/prospectus is being furnished to Powerfleet stockholders on or about January 29, 2024. In addition, this joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes a prospectus for Powerfleet in connection with the issuance by Powerfleet of shares of Powerfleet common stock to be issued to MiX shareholders in connection with the transactions. This joint proxy statement/prospectus provides Powerfleet stockholders with information they need to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the Powerfleet special meeting and should be read carefully in its entirety.

Date, Time and Place of the Powerfleet Special Meeting

The Powerfleet special meeting is scheduled to be held completely virtually at the Powerfleet special meeting website, at https://web.lumiagm.com/209728603, on February 28, 2024, beginning at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, unless adjourned or postponed to a later date and/or time.

Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shares Entitled to Vote

The Powerfleet board has set January 19, 2024 as the Powerfleet record date. Only holders of shares of Powerfleet common stock as of the close of business on the Powerfleet record date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Powerfleet special meeting or any adjournments thereof. On the Powerfleet record date, there were 37,214,737 shares of Powerfleet common stock outstanding, held by 27 holders of record. Each outstanding share of Powerfleet common stock is entitled to one vote on each proposal and any other matter properly coming before the Powerfleet special meeting.

Attendance

You are entitled to attend the Powerfleet special meeting only if you are a stockholder of record of Powerfleet at the close of business on the Powerfleet record date or you hold your shares of Powerfleet beneficially in the name of a broker, bank or other securities intermediary as of the Powerfleet record date, or you hold a valid proxy for the Powerfleet special meeting.

To participate in the Powerfleet special meeting, you will need to log into the meeting at https://web.lumiagm.com/209728603. The password for the meeting is power 2024 (case sensitive). The meeting webcast will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. If you hold your shares through a bank or broker, instructions should also be provided on the voting instruction card provided by your bank or brokerage firm.

If you plan to attend the Powerfleet special meeting and vote electronically, Powerfleet still encourages you to submit a proxy to vote in advance by the Internet, by telephone or (if you received a paper copy of the proxy materials) by mail so that your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend the Powerfleet special meeting. Submitting your proxy by the Internet, by telephone or by mail will not limit your right to vote at the Powerfleet special meeting if you later decide to attend electronically.

Purpose of the Powerfleet Special Meeting

The Powerfleet special meeting is being held to consider and vote on:

Quorum

The presence at the Powerfleet special meeting, virtually or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Powerfleet common stock is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. If a quorum is not present, the Powerfleet special meeting will be adjourned until the holders of the number of shares of Powerfleet common stock required to constitute a quorum attend, whether virtually or by proxy.

Abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. A “broker non-vote” on a matter occurs when a broker, bank or your representative may not vote on a particular matter because it does not have discretionary voting authority and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Because brokers will not have discretionary authority to vote on any of the proposals, a share held by a broker without any voting instructions will not be deemed present or represented by proxy at the Powerfleet special meeting and will not count towards establishing a quorum.

Vote Required; Recommendation of the Powerfleet Board of Directors

Each of the Powerfleet stock issuance proposal and the Powerfleet charter amendment proposal is conditioned on the approval of each other, and are conditions to the implementation of the scheme, but the Powerfleet stock issuance proposal and the Powerfleet charter amendment proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any of the other proposals. If the Powerfleet charter amendment proposal is not approved, the Powerfleet stock issuance proposal will be of no force or effect, even if approved by the Powerfleet stockholders, and vice versa. The Powerfleet compensation proposal is a vote separate and apart from the other proposals contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and is not conditioned on any other proposal.

The Powerfleet board recommends that you vote (i) “FOR” the Powerfleet stock issuance proposal, (ii) “FOR” the Powerfleet charter amendment proposal, (iii) “FOR” the Powerfleet compensation proposal and (iv) “FOR” the Powerfleet adjournment proposal.

This joint proxy statement/prospectus contains important information regarding the Powerfleet proposals and factors that Powerfleet stockholders should consider when deciding how to cast their votes. Powerfleet stockholders are encouraged to read the entire document carefully, including the annexes to and documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, for more detailed information regarding the implementation agreement, including the scheme and other transactions contemplated by the implementation agreement, and the Powerfleet proposals.

Share Ownership and Voting by Powerfleet’s Officers and Directors

As of the Powerfleet record date, the Powerfleet directors and executive officers, as a group, beneficially owned and were entitled to vote approximately 1,991,607 shares of Powerfleet common stock, representing approximately 5.35% of the shares of Powerfleet common stock then outstanding and entitled to vote at the Powerfleet special meeting. Although none of them has entered into any agreement obligating them to do so as a Powerfleet director or executive officer, Powerfleet expects that all of its directors and executive officers who are stockholders of Powerfleet will vote “FOR” each of the proposals described above.

Voting Your Shares

Powerfleet stockholders may vote electronically at the Powerfleet special meeting or by proxy. Powerfleet recommends that you submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the Powerfleet special meeting. If you vote by proxy, you may change your vote, among other ways, if you attend and vote at the Powerfleet special meeting.

If you are a Powerfleet stockholder of record you may use the enclosed proxy card to tell the persons named as proxies how to vote your shares. If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. The named proxies will vote all shares at the meeting for which proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked. Signed and dated proxies received by Powerfleet without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” such proposal presented to the stockholders, in accordance with the recommendation of the Powerfleet board.

The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the Powerfleet special meeting.

Powerfleet stockholders may also vote over the Internet at www.voteproxy.com until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 27, 2024. Voting instructions are printed on the proxy card or voting information form you received.

Voting Shares Held in Street Name

If you own shares in your own name, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent acting as securities intermediary, your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent as your securities intermediary, or in “street name,” and you will need to obtain a proxy form from the organization that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct the organization to vote your shares. Your broker, bank or other securities intermediary may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your shares, so you should read carefully the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other securities intermediary.

Banks, brokers and other agents acting as securities intermediaries are permitted to use discretionary voting authority to vote proxies for proposals that are deemed “routine,” but are not permitted to use discretionary voting authority to vote proxies for proposals that are deemed “non-routine.” Under the current rules of Nasdaq, each of the proposals to be considered at the Powerfleet special meeting as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus are considered non-routine. Therefore banks, brokers and other agents acting as securities intermediaries do not have discretionary authority to vote on any of the proposals to be considered at the Powerfleet special meeting. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a proposal is deemed “non-routine” and a securities intermediary holding shares for a beneficial owner does not have discretionary voting authority with respect to the matter being considered and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If a beneficial owner of shares of Powerfleet common stock held in street name does not give voting instructions to the broker, bank or other agent acting as a securities intermediary, then those shares will not be present or represented by proxy at the Powerfleet special meeting. As a result, broker non-votes would not have any effect on the outcome of the Powerfleet proposals.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a Powerfleet stockholder of record, you have the right to revoke your proxy at any time before the proxy is voted at the Powerfleet special meeting if you:

Written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to the revocation of proxies should be addressed to:

PowerFleet, Inc.

123 Tice Boulevard

Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey 07677

Attn: David Wilson, Corporate Secretary

Execution or revocation of a proxy will not in any way affect the stockholder’s right to attend the Powerfleet special meeting and vote electronically.

Attendance at the Powerfleet special meeting will not, in and of itself, revoke a proxy.

If your shares are held in “street name” and you have instructed your bank, broker or other securities intermediary to vote your shares, you must follow the directions received from your bank, broker or other securities intermediary to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Costs of Solicitation

Powerfleet will bear all costs and expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including the costs of preparing, printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus for the Powerfleet special meeting. Powerfleet has engaged D.F. King & Co., Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Powerfleet special meeting and will pay a fee of approximately $10,500, plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Other Business

Powerfleet is not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Powerfleet special meeting. If, however, other matters are properly brought before the Powerfleet special meeting, the proxies will have discretion to vote or act on those matters according to their best judgment and they intend to vote the shares as the Powerfleet board may recommend.
