Acquisition Expected to Increase Airgain's Presence in the Fast-Growing Automotive Fleet and Industrial IoT Space

Airgain also Announces First Quarter 2017 Conference Call to be Held on Wednesday, May 3, 2017 at 4:30 p.m. EDT

SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/09/17 -- Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of embedded antenna technologies used to enable high performance wireless networking, has entered into an asset purchase agreement with MCA Financial Group, Ltd., acting as the appointed receiver for Antenna Plus, LLC, to acquire substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Antenna Plus.

A privately-held supplier of antenna solutions based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Antenna Plus develops high-quality antenna products for mobile and automotive fleet applications for government, public safety, and Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) markets.

The purchase and sale were made pursuant to a court order for the sale and disposition of the assets of Antenna Plus, for a cash purchase price of approximately $6.4 million on April 7, 2017. The acquisition is expected to close within 20 calendar days, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Antenna Plus generated unaudited revenue of $7.5 million in 2016. Airgain expects the transaction to be accretive within 2017 and to improve its long-term revenue potential.

Antenna Plus, an early innovator in the mobile fleet antenna market, adds a unique portfolio of cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, and private radio frequency antenna products to the Airgain product line, as well as an established network of sales, distribution, and value-added reselling partners. We believe these additions will accelerate Airgain's penetration into several new and high growth markets, including mobile and automotive connectivity solutions for mission-critical applications, as well as outdoor antenna solutions for Industrial IoT applications.

According to Markets and Markets, a leading market research firm, the IoT market will grow from $157 billion in 2016 to $661 billion by 2021, representing a compound annual growth rate of 33 percent. Forrester, a research and advisory firm, also predicts fleet management in transportation, security, and surveillance applications (within government, inventory, and warehouse management) will be the hottest areas for IoT growth.

"With the large anticipated growth of IoT devices in automotive fleet, government, and industrial markets, we see an opportunity to build on our core strengths and expand our footprint beyond the embedded antenna category," said Charles Myers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Airgain. "Antenna Plus has spent close to 25 years building a solid business and reputation in its core markets of mobile and outdoor antenna systems, establishing themselves as quality and performance leaders. Through the acquisition of the Antenna Plus assets, we expect to accelerate our penetration into these new markets and create significant expansion opportunity for our addressable market."
