Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 23, 2013, LoJack Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Value
Added Distributor and Reseller Agreement (the "Agreement") with TomTom Inc.
("TomTom"), pursuant to which the Company intends to provide a range of products
and services of TomTom Business Solutions (a business unit of TomTom
International B.V.), including its software-as-a-service (SaaS) fleet management
service known as WEBFLEET. Under the Agreement, TomTom has appointed the Company
as a non-exclusive distributor in the United States, Mexico and Canada (the
"Territory") to promote, market, activate and sell certain TomTom products to
end users and to grant licenses to WEBFLEET services to end users. Subject to
certain relationships existing as of the effective date of the Agreement and the
attainment of certain minimum sales levels by the Company, the Company also will
be the exclusive distributor for such products and services in respect to the
auto-dealer channel in the Territory, other than with respect to automotive
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or any suppliers to automotive OEMs. The
Company shall buy and sell the TomTom products in its own name and for its own
account. Subject to limited exceptions, the Company has agreed not to sell any
products or services during the term of the Agreement which compete with the
TomTom products or the WEBFLEET service in the Territory.
Under the Agreement, the Company may integrate the TomTom back-end data and
services with the Company's systems, and the parties have agreed to discuss the
potential integration of TomTom's technology with the Company's law enforcement
products with respect to the Company's stolen vehicle recovery.
The Agreement has a term of 36 months and thereafter automatically renews for
consecutive one-year periods unless terminated by either part upon six months'
prior written notice. Either party may terminate the Agreement if (i) the other
party has breached any material term or condition and such breach has not been
cured within a specified period of time, or (ii) the other party is winding up,
is in receivership, has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, goes
into liquidation, ceases to carry on its business or similar events. In
addition, TomTom may terminate the Agreement if a competitor of TomTom acquires
greater than fifty percent of the Company's capital stock or the Company fails
to meet the minimum sales levels.
The Company expects to file the Agreement as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2013, and intends to seek
confidential treatment for certain terms and provisions of the Agreement. The
foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of
the Agreement when filed.
