Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 17, 2020, Telenav, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Telenav” or the “Company”), entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement” and together with the Amendment, the “Amended Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, V99, Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) led by H.P. Jin, Co-Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Telenav, and Telenav99, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), previously announced on November 3, 2020.

The Amended Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub have agreed to change a condition to consummation of the Merger from requiring receipt of a vote in favor of adoption of the Amended Merger Agreement of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock not beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub, any Affiliate of Parent or Merger Sub, including H.P. Jin, Samuel Chen, Fiona Chang, Yi-Ting Chen, Yi-Chun Chen, Changbin Wang, and Digital Mobile Venture Limited (“Digital”), or any Affiliate of the foregoing or trust in which any of the foregoing are a beneficiary (the “Purchaser Group”), to requiring receipt of a vote in favor of adoption of the Amended Merger Agreement of the holders of 66 and 2/3% of the outstanding shares of common stock not beneficially owned by members of the Purchaser Group.

In addition, under the terms of the Amendment, upon consummation of the Merger each member of the Purchaser Group shall receive the same per-share consideration for such person’s shares of common stock as the other stockholders of the Company.

Except as expressly modified pursuant to the Amendment, the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by the Company on November 3, 2020, remains in full force and effect. The foregoing description of the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
