Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On January 12, 2012, ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM” or the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of substantially all of the assets of PAR Logistics Management Systems Corporation, (“PLMS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAR Technology Corporation (“PAR”) and a provider of wireless asset and GPS tracking and monitoring products and services (the “PLMS Acquisition”).

The consideration paid by ORBCOMM at the closing with respect to substantially all the assets of PLMS is equal to the aggregate amount of $6.0 million (the “Closing Consideration”) in cash and common stock as follows:

In addition to the Closing Consideration, the Asset Purchase Agreement provides for contingent consideration of up to $3.95 million payable post-closing by ORBCOMM to PAR in cash, ORBCOMM common stock or a combination of cash and ORBCOMM common stock, at ORBCOMM’s option. Up to $3.0 million of the contingent consideration will be payable based on achieving certain agreed-upon new subscriber targets for calendar year 2012 and up to $950,000 of the contingent consideration will be payable based on achieving certain agreed-upon sales targets for calendar years 2012 through 2014.

If paid in stock, the number of ORBCOMM shares to be issued to PAR will be based upon the average 20-day closing price of ORBCOMM common stock prior to the payment due date for such contingent consideration.

On January 12, 2012, ORBCOMM issued a press release announcing the consummation of the PLMS Acquisition, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
