Other Events.

On October 2, 2020, Telenav, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that V99, a Delaware corporation led by HP Jin, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, made a non-binding proposal to the Company regarding the acquisition by V99 of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (a “Going Private Transaction”). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

A special committee of the board of directors of the Company consisting entirely of independent, disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) has retained B. Riley Securities, Inc. to provide financial advice and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati as legal counsel to assist in its review and evaluation of the proposed Going Private Transaction and strategic alternatives.

No assurances can be given regarding the terms and details of any transaction, that any proposal made by V99 regarding a proposed transaction will be accepted by the Special Committee, that definitive documentation relating to any such transaction will be executed, or that a transaction will be consummated in accordance with that documentation, if at all.
