SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS LoJack Acquisition As of March 15, 2016, the Company acquired effective control of LoJack through a tender offer process that resulted in CalAmp owning 80.2% of LoJack's outstanding shares of common stock, for which it paid a purchase price per share of $6.45.

EchoStar's current product demand forecast extends through August 2016. As a result of EchoStar's decision, CalAmp expects sales to this customer will cease after the second quarter of fiscal 2017.
