prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein carefully, including the information referenced under the heading “Risk

Overview
We
are a global leader of Artificial Intelligence-of-Things (“AIoT”) solutions providing valuable business intelligence for
managing high-value enterprise and mid-market assets that improve operational efficiencies.
We
are headquartered in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, with offices located around the globe
Our
Unity data highway and AIoT ecosystem is the centerpiece of our strategy. Unity has the capability to ingest data from multiple data
sources, harmonizing and transforming the dataset, and delivering simply understood insights through a unified Software-as-a-Service
(“SaaS”) platform.
Unity
provides mission-critical solutions from warehouse to trailer to vehicle, allowing customers to consolidate suppliers and gain end-to-end
in a single pane of glass.
Unity
enables customers to consume their data in multiple ways, from data-powered applications to unified operations integrations, which provide
the ability to improve performance of the asset, the individual in charge of the asset and the business process, continuously improving
our customers’ business performance.
Within
the Unity ecosystem, our Powerfleet for Warehouse AIoT solutions are designed to provide on-premise or in-facility asset and operator
management, monitoring, and visibility for warehouse and factory trucks such as forklifts, man-lifts, tuggers and ground support equipment
at airports. These solutions utilize a variety of communications capabilities such as Bluetooth®, WiFi, and proprietary
radio frequency.
Additionally
within the Unity ecosystem, our Powerfleet for On-Road AIoT solutions are designed to provide bumper-to-bumper AIoT asset management,
monitoring, and visibility for over-the-road based assets such as heavy trucks, dry-van trailers, refrigerated trailers and shipping
containers and their associated cargo. These AIoT solutions provide mobile-asset tracking and condition-monitoring solutions to meet
the transportation market’s desire for greater visibility, safety, security, and productivity throughout global supply chains.
Our On-Road AIoT solutions extend to all mobile assets, whether it is a rental car, a private fleet, or automotive original equipment
manufacturer (“OEM”) partners. We achieve this by providing critical information that can be used to increase revenues, reduce
costs, enhance safety and sustainability, deliver compliance, and improve customer service.
Our
patented technologies are proven solutions for organizations that must monitor and analyze their assets to improve safety, increase efficiency,
reduce costs, and drive profitability. Our offerings are sold under the global brands Powerfleet, Pointer, Cellocator, MiX by Powerfleet
and Fleet Complete.
We
have an established history of Internet-of-Things device development, AI and data science expertise, and innovation creating devices
that can withstand harsh and rugged environments. With 51 patents and patent applications and over 25 years’ experience, we believe
we are well positioned to evolve our offerings for even greater value to customers through our cloud-based applications for unified operations.
We
deliver advanced data solutions that connect mobile assets to increase visibility, operational efficiency and profitability. Across our
spectrum of vertical markets, we differentiate ourselves by developing mobility platforms that collect data from unique sensors. Because
we are data source and OEM agnostic, we help organizations view and manage their mixed assets homogeneously. All of our solutions are
paired with SaaS and analytics platforms to provide an even deeper level of insights and understanding of how assets are utilized and
how drivers and operators operate those assets. These insights include a full set of key performance indicators to drive operational
and strategic decisions. Our customers typically get a return on their investment in less than 12 months from deployment.
Our
enterprise software applications have AI and machine learning capabilities and are built to integrate with our customers’ management
systems to provide a single, integrated view of asset and operator activity across multiple locations while providing real-time enterprise-wide
benchmarks and peer-industry comparisons. We look for analytics, as well as the data contained therein, to differentiate us from our
competitors, adding significant value to customers’ business operations, and helping to contribute to their bottom line. Our solutions
also feature open application programming interfaces for additional integrations and development to boost other enterprise management
systems and third-party applications.
We
market and sell our Unity ecosystem and our connected AIoT data solutions to a wide range of customers in the commercial and government
sectors. Our customers operate in diverse markets, such as manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, wholesale and retail, food and grocery
distribution, pharmaceutical and medical distribution, construction, mining, utilities, aerospace, vehicle rental, as well as logistics,
shipping, transportation, energy and field services. Traditionally, these businesses have relied on multiple vendors, as well as manual,
often paper-based, processes or on-premise legacy software to operate their high-value assets, manage workforce resources, and distributed
sites; and face environmental, safety, and other regulatory requirements. In today’s landscape, it is crucial for these businesses
to invest in solutions that enable easy analysis and sharing of real-time information, increasingly consolidating their suppliers.

Recent
Developments
On
October 1, 2024, we consummated the transactions contemplated by a Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2024 (as amended,
the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Golden Eagle Topco LP, the persons that are party to the Purchase Agreement under
the heading “Other Sellers,” us and Powerfleet Canada Holdings Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province
of Ontario and our wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to which we acquired Fleet Complete for an aggregate purchase price of $200 million,
subject to certain customary working capital and other adjustments as described in the Purchase Agreement (the “FC Acquisition”).
As a result, Fleet Complete became our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary.
A
portion of the purchase price payable in the FC Acquisition was satisfied by the issuance by us of 4,285,714 shares of our common stock
(the “Rollover Shares”) to Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board (“OTPP”), which was an existing indirect
shareholder of Fleet Complete, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
Concurrently
with the closing of the FC Acquisition, we consummated a private placement contemplated by a Subscription Agreement, dated as of September
18, 2024 (the “Subscription Agreement”), by and among us and certain of the selling stockholders, pursuant to which we issued
to such selling stockholders an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Private Placement Shares”) at a
price per share of $3.50 for aggregate gross proceeds of $70 million.
The
Subscription Agreement requires us to file one or more registration statements, as necessary, to register under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the resale of the Private Placement Shares no later than 60 days after the closing
of the private placement. In connection with the issuance of the Rollover Shares, we also entered into a registration rights agreement
with OTPP (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), providing OTPP with the same resale registration rights provided to the
selling stockholders that entered into the Subscription Agreement.
This
registration statement has been filed to comply with our obligation to register under the Securities Act the resale of the Private Placement
Shares and the Rollover Shares.

Use
of Proceeds
All
shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for resale by the selling stockholders identified herein.
We are not selling any shares under this prospectus, and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares
of our common stock held by the selling stockholders and offered hereby.
We
will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of shares of our common stock for resale by the selling stockholders.
The selling stockholders will each bear their respective discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers or dealer managers
and similar expenses, if any, attributable to the sale or disposition of the shares of our common stock, or interests therein, held by
such selling stockholder.
Selling
Stockholders
The
selling stockholders identified in the table below may sell from time to time up to 24,285,714 shares of our common stock.
The
table below sets forth, to our knowledge, information concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by the selling
stockholders as of November 25, 2024. The information in the table below with respect to the selling stockholders has been obtained
from the respective selling stockholders. When we refer to the “selling stockholders” in this prospectus, we mean the selling
stockholders listed in the table below as offering shares, as well as their respective donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest.
The table below assumes that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares offered for sale hereby. The selling stockholders,
however, are under no obligation to sell any shares pursuant to this prospectus.
In
the table below, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned prior to the offering for each selling stockholder includes
(i) all shares of common stock held by such selling stockholder as of November 25, 2024, (ii) all shares of common stock such
selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of November 25, 2024, and (iii) all shares of common stock purchased
by such selling stockholder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The percentages of shares owned before and after the offering are
based on 132,191,792 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 25, 2024, which includes the outstanding shares
of common stock offered by this prospectus. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a selling stockholder
and the percentage ownership of that selling stockholder, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock that such selling stockholder
has a right to acquire within 60 days of November 25, 2024. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose
of computing the percentage ownership of any other selling stockholder.
Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock.
Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, each selling stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power
with respect to the shares of common stock beneficially owned by it, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable
law. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each beneficial owner listed below is c/o Powerfleet, Inc., 123 Tice Boulevard,
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey 07677. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership
for any selling stockholder named below.

of the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by them. Any actions taken by Messrs. Powers and Sissman will be dependent upon
their review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price levels of our common stock, general market and economic conditions,
ongoing evaluation of our business, financial condition, operations and prospects, the relative attractiveness of alternative business
and investment opportunities, client liquidity needs, and other future developments.
Plan
of Distribution
The
selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common
stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge,
partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares
of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded
or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related
to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The
selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
| ● | ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| | |
| ● | block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| | |
| ● | purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| | |
| ● | an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| | |
| ● | privately
negotiated transactions; |
| | |
| ● | short
sales; |
| | |
| ● | through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise; |
| | |
| ● | broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated
price per share; |
| | |
| ● | a
combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| | |
| ● | any
other method permitted by applicable law. |
The
selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by
them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares
of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in
interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other
circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes
of this prospectus.
In
connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging
the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close
out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders
may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative
securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which
shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect
such transaction).
The
aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common
stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents
from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will
not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The
selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities
Act; provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The
selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein
may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions
or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders
who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act.
To
the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices
and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect
to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the
registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In
order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares of common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions
only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been
registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
To
the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the
selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders
may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We
have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities
laws, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part, including this prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents
filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the registration statement.
We
have agreed with the selling stockholders to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144, including
without limitation, using our commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) with respect to public
information about our company and to timely file all reports required to be filed by us under the Exchange Act.
We have agreed to keep the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part effective until the earliest of: (i) all of the securities have been sold
pursuant to this registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (ii) the date on which the securities may be resold without
restriction by the selling stockholder holding such securities pursuant to Rule 144, including without any volume limitations or manner-of-sale
restrictions and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the Securities
Act; or (iii) two years after the date of effectiveness of the registration statement.

Item
14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as
well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation – a “derivative action”), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal actions or proceedings, had
no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except
that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action, and the DGCL requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking
indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The DGCL provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to indemnification
that may be granted by a corporation’s bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
Pursuant
to the terms of the our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we have agreed to indemnify our current and former directors
and officers (and the current and former directors and officers of our subsidiaries) against liability and loss suffered and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in connection with any claim made against such director or officer or
any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding in which such director or officer may be involved by reason of being or having been
a director or officer of our company or its subsidiaries, or, while serving as a director or officer of our company or its subsidiaries,
of serving or having served at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise.
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such persons in
defending any action, suit or proceeding shall be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, provided
that, to the extent required by law, such advancement of expenses shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be so indemnified.
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that we may indemnify our current and former employees and agents and
may advance expenses to such employees and agents on such terms and conditions as may be approved by our board of directors.
Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in the certificate of incorporation of each corporation organized thereunder, such as Powerfleet,
eliminating or limiting, with certain exceptions, the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of
directors to the extent permitted by the DGCL.
We
have also entered into indemnification agreements with members of our board of directors and officers. The indemnification agreements,
subject to limitations contained therein, obligate us to maintain director and officer insurance if reasonably available, and to indemnify
the indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments,
penalties, fines and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit, claim, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing, arbitration or other proceeding arising out of his or her services as a
director or officer. Subject to certain limitations, the indemnification agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred
by the indemnitee, and the repayment to us of the amounts advanced to the extent that it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee
is not entitled to be indemnified by us. The indemnification agreements also create certain rights in favor of our company, including
the right to assume the defense of claims and to consent to settlements. The indemnification agreements do not exclude any other rights
to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled under applicable law or our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation or by any other agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
We
carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that covers certain liabilities and expenses of our directors and officers.
The
foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by the terms and provisions of such arrangements.
Item 15.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
In
the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we have issued the following securities that were not registered
under the Securities Act:
On
March 31, 2023, we issued to Swiss Re Reinsurance Holding Company Ltd a ten-year warrant to purchase 800,000 shares of our common stock
at an exercise price of $7.00 per share in connection with our acquisition of Movingdots GmbH.
On
October 1, 2024, we consummated the FC Acquisition. $15 million of the purchase price payable in the FC Acquisition was satisfied by
the issuance by us of 4,285,714 shares of our common stock (the “Rollover Shares”) to OTPP, which was an existing indirect
shareholder of Fleet Complete, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
Concurrently
with the closing of the FC Acquisition, we consummated a private placement contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which
we issued to the purchaser party thereto an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Private Placement Shares”)
at a price per share of $3.50 for aggregate gross proceeds of $70 million.
The
issuances described in this Item 15 were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided
by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public
offering.

Item
17. Undertakings.
|
(a) |
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
|
(1) |
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
|
(i) |
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the
effective registration statement; and |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement
or any material change to such information in this registration statement; |
|
|
|
|
provided,
however, that: Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or
is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement. |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. |
|
|
|
|
(4) |
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)
as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than
prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the
date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that
is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this registration
statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior
to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement or prospectus that was part of
this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
|
|
|
|
(i) |
Each
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the
date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this registration statement; and |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
Each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on
Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information
required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the
earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities
in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is
at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of this registration statement relating to the
securities in this registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into this registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement will, as to a purchaser with
a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement
or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
|
(5) |
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant
to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller
to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
|
|
|
(i) |
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned registrant; |
|
(iii) |
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
|
(b) |
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in
this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue. |
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Woodcliff Lake, State of New Jersey, on November 29, 2024.

Re: |
Registration
Statement on Form S-1 |
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
are acting as counsel to Powerfleet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement
on Form S-1 filed by the Company on November 29, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the offer
and resale from time to time by the selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) identified in the prospectus constituting
a part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”) of up to 24,285,714 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), which were issued to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to either
(i) a Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2024, by and among Golden Eagle Topco, LP, the persons that are party thereto
under the heading “Other Sellers,” the Company and Powerfleet Canada Holdings Inc. (the “Purchase Agreement”)
or (ii) a Subscription Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2024, by and among the Company and the various accredited investors party
thereto (the “Subscription Agreement” and, together with the Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”).
We
advise you that we have examined executed originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the following
documents: (a) the Registration Statement, (b) the Prospectus, (c) the Transaction Documents, (d) the Company’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date, (e) the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended to date, and (f) certain
resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, we have examined and relied upon such corporate records and
other documents, instruments and certificates of officers and representatives of the Company and of public officials, and we have made
such examination of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of the opinions expressed below. As to certain factual
matters, unless otherwise indicated, we have relied, to the extent we have deemed proper, on certificates of certain officers of the
Company.
We
have assumed for purposes of rendering the opinions set forth herein, without any verification by us:
(i)
the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons to execute and deliver documents, the authenticity and
completeness of documents submitted to us as originals and the completeness and conformity with authentic original documents of all
documents submitted to us as copies, that all documents, books and records made available to us by the Company are accurate and
complete; and
November
29, 2024
Page 2
(ii)
that each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each party thereto, that each such party
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and all jurisdictions
where it is conducting business or otherwise required to be so qualified, that each such party has full power, authority and legal
right to enter into and perform the terms and conditions of such Transaction Document to be performed by it, that the
representations and warranties of each such party as set forth in such Transaction Document when made were, and on the date hereof
are, true and complete, and that such Transaction Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such party,
enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms.
Based
upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations contained herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares
of Common Stock have been duly authorized by the Company and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We
are members of the Bar of the State of New York. We do not express any opinion as to the effect of any laws other than the laws of the
State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and the federal laws of the United States of America, as
in effect on the date hereof.
