Inseego Repurchases All of Its Outstanding Preferred Stock, Further Strengthening Capital Structure
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inseego Corp. (NASDAQ:INSG) (the "Company"), a global leader in 5G mobile broadband and 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) solutions, today (the "Closing Date") announced that it has completed the repurchase of all of its outstanding Fixed-Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E (the "Preferred Stock") in exchange for a combination of cash, common stock of the Company and senior secured notes.
Under the terms of the exchange, the Company retired 100% of the Preferred Stock, which had a liquidation preference of $42 million as of December 31, 2025, in exchange for $26 million of aggregate consideration, representing a 38% discount, and consisting of $10 million in cash, $8 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's existing 9.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2029, and approximately 767,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The cash consideration will be paid in three equal installments, with one-third paid at the Closing Date, one-third payable six months following the Closing Date, and the remaining one-third payable 12 months following the Closing Date. The common stock issued in the exchange is subject to customary registration rights.
"This transaction is another step in the deliberate work we've been doing to simplify and strengthen Inseego's capital structure," said Steven Gatoff, CFO of Inseego. "By fully retiring the Preferred Stock at a discount to its aggregate liquidation preference, we are reducing long-term obligations, further improving the balance sheet and continuing to increase stockholder value."
The Preferred Stock was held by an affiliate of Mubadala Capital. As a result of the exchange, that affiliate now holds a minority position in the Company's common stock.
"We're honored to have Mubadala Capital in our long-term journey and value creation mission as common stockholders," said Juho Sarvikas, CEO of Inseego. "Our focus remains on executing our strategy, scaling the business, and delivering durable growth for our stockholders."
