Recommended Cash Offer

for

FLEETMATICS GROUP PLC

by

VERIZON BUSINESS INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS B.V.

A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF

VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC.

(to be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement under Chapter 1 of Part 9
of the Irish Companies Act 2014)

Summary

·            Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) (NYSE,
Nasdaq: VZ) and Fleetmatics Group PLC (“Fleetmatics”) (NYSE: FLTX) are
pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a
recommended cash offer pursuant to which Verizon Business International
Holdings B.V. (“Bidco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Verizon,
will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Fleetmatics.

·            Under the terms of the Acquisition, Fleetmatics
Shareholders will be entitled to receive:

for each Fleetmatics Ordinary Share                US$60.00 in
cash

·            The Acquisition values the entire issued share
capital of Fleetmatics (on a fully diluted basis) at approximately US$2.4
billion.

·            The Cash Consideration represents a premium of
approximately:

·            40% to Fleetmatics’ closing share price of US$42.96
on 29 July 2016 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of
this Announcement);

·            40% to Fleetmatics’ volume weighted average share
price of US$43.01 over the past 30 trading day period ending 29 July 2016; and

·            49% to Fleetmatics’ volume weighted average share
price of US$40.15 over the past 90 trading day period ending 29 July 2016.

·            It is intended that the Acquisition will be
implemented by means of a High Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under
Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Act (or, if Verizon elects, subject to the terms of
the Transaction Agreement and with the consent of the Panel, a Takeover
Offer).  The Acquisition is conditional on, among other things, (i) the
approval by Fleetmatics Shareholders of the Court Meeting Resolution and the
EGM Resolutions and (ii) the sanction of the Scheme and the confirmation of
the Reduction of Capital, by the High Court.

·            The Fleetmatics Directors, who have been so advised
by Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc as to the financial terms of the
Acquisition, consider the terms of the Acquisition to be fair and
reasonable.  In providing their advice to the Fleetmatics Directors, Morgan
Stanley & Co. International plc has taken into account the commercial
assessments of the Fleetmatics Directors. The Fleetmatics Directors
unanimously determined that the Transaction Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby, including the Scheme, are advisable for, fair to and in
the best interests of, the Fleetmatics Shareholders.

·            Accordingly, the Fleetmatics Directors intend to
recommend unanimously that Fleetmatics Shareholders vote or procure votes in
favour of the Court Meeting Resolution and the EGM Resolutions, or in the
event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer,
Fleetmatics Shareholders accept or procure acceptance of the Takeover Offer.

·            Rule 30.2 of the Takeover Rules requires that, except
with the consent of the Panel, and subject to Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Rules,
Fleetmatics must dispatch the Scheme Document to Fleetmatics Shareholders
within 28 days of the announcement of a firm intention to make an offer, being
in this Announcement. The Scheme Document will be included in the Proxy
Statement that Fleetmatics is required to file with the SEC in connection with
the Acquisition. The preparation of the Proxy Statement and, if the SEC staff
elects to review the Proxy Statement, the SEC staff’s review of it may take
more than 28 days. Under SEC rules, if the SEC staff elects to review the
Proxy Statement, the Scheme Document cannot be dispatched to Fleetmatics
Shareholders until the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC staff.
Accordingly, on 28 July 2016, the Panel agreed to grant the parties a
derogation from Rule 30.2. The Panel granted the derogation on the basis that
the Proxy Statement might be reviewed by the SEC staff, in which case the
Scheme Document cannot be dispatched until the Proxy Statement is cleared by
the SEC staff. If the SEC staff elects to review the Proxy Statement, the
Scheme Document will be dispatched to Fleetmatics Shareholders as soon as
practicable after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC staff.  If the
SEC staff does not elect to review the Proxy Statement, the Scheme Document
will be dispatched to Fleetmatics Shareholders as soon as practicable after
the Proxy Statement is able to be filed by Fleetmatics in definitive form with
the SEC. The Scheme Document will also be made available on Fleetmatics’
website Ir.fleetmatics.com.

·            Commenting on the Acquisition, Andrés Irlando, CEO
of Verizon Telematics, said:

“Fleetmatics is a market leader in North America – and increasingly
internationally – and they've developed a wide-range of compelling
SaaS-based products and solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses. The
powerful combination of products and services, software platforms, robust
customer bases, domain expertise and experience, and talented and passionate
teams among Fleetmatics, the recently-acquired Telogis, and Verizon Telematics
will position the combined companies to become a leading provider of fleet and
mobile workforce management solutions globally.”

·            Commenting on the Acquisition, Jim Travers, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of Fleetmatics, said:

“Verizon and Fleetmatics share a vision that the SaaS-based fleet management
solution market is extraordinarily large, lightly penetrated, global and
fragmented which can best be attacked together with a world class product
offering and the largest distribution channel in the industry.   Fleetmatics
brings over 37,000 customers, approximately 737,000 subscribers, a broad
portfolio of industry leading products, and a team of 1,200 professionals
focused on solving the critical challenges of businesses that deploy mobile
workforces. We are excited to partner with Verizon in fulfilling the mission
of becoming the largest mobile workforce management company in the world.”

Verizon cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements

This Announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are
based on estimates and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements include the Verizon Group’s and the Combined
Group’s estimated or anticipated future results, or other non-historical
facts. Forward-looking statements also include those preceded or followed by
the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “hopes” or
similar expressions. For those statements, Verizon claims the protection of
the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The following important factors,
along with those discussed in Verizon’s filings with the SEC, could affect
future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements: integration of the Fleetmatics
acquisition and benefits of the Fleetmatics acquisition; the risk that the
required regulatory approvals for the proposed transaction are not obtained,
are delayed or are subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the
anticipated size of the markets and continued demand for Fleetmatics’
products; adverse conditions in the U.S. and international economies; the
effects of competition in the markets in which Verizon or Fleetmatics operate;
material changes in technology or technology substitution; disruption of
Verizon or Fleetmatics’ key suppliers’ provisioning of products or
services; changes in the regulatory environment, including any increase in
restrictions on Verizon’s ability to operate its networks; breaches of
network or information technology security, natural disasters, terrorist
attacks or acts of war or significant litigation and any resulting financial
impact not covered by insurance; Verizon’s high level of indebtedness; an
adverse change in the ratings afforded Verizon’s debt securities by
nationally accredited ratings organizations or adverse conditions in the
credit markets affecting the cost, including interest rates, and/or
availability of further financing; material adverse changes in labor matters,
including labor negotiations, and any resulting financial and/or operational
impact; significant increases in benefit plan costs or lower investment
returns on plan assets; changes in tax laws or treaties, or in their
interpretation; changes in accounting assumptions that regulatory agencies,
including the SEC, may require or that result from changes in the accounting
rules or their application, which could result in an impact on earnings; the
inability to implement Verizon’s or the Combined Group’s business
strategies; the inability to realize the benefits of Verizon’s or the
Combined Group’s strategic acquisitions;  those discussed in Fleetmatics’
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Amendment
No. 1 thereto under the heading “Risk Factors,” as updated from time to
time by Fleetmatics’ Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents of
Fleetmatics on file with the SEC or in the proxy statement on Schedule 14A
that will be filed with the SEC by Fleetmatics; and those discussed in
Verizon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015
under the heading “Risk Factors,” as updated from time to time by
Verizon’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents of Verizon on
file with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither Fleetmatics nor
Verizon presently know or that Fleetmatics and Verizon currently believe are
immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained
in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements
provide Fleetmatics’ and Verizon’s expectations, plans or forecasts of
future events and views as of the date of this communication. Fleetmatics and
Verizon anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause
Fleetmatics’ and Verizon’s assessments to change.  However, while
Fleetmatics and Verizon may elect to update these forward-looking statements
at some point in the future, Fleetmatics and Verizon specifically disclaim any
obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied
upon as representing Fleetmatics’ and Verizon’s assessments as of any date

"continue", "remain", "scheduled", "outlook", "set to", "subject to",
"upcoming", "target" or similar expressions. For those statements, Fleetmatics
claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements
contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The

the requisite approvals for the acquisition on a timely basis or at all; the
possibility that competing offers will be made; the possibility that certain
conditions to the consummation of the acquisition will not be satisfied,
including without limitation obtaining the requisite approval of the scheme of
arrangement; the possibility that Verizon will be unable to obtain regulatory

laws or regulations; the diversion of Fleetmatics management time and
attention to issues relating to the acquisition and integration; operating
costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation,
difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients
or suppliers) occurring prior to completion of the acquisition or if the

timing and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings involving Verizon or
Fleetmatics and the impact of any such proceedings on the Fleetmatics
acquisition or on the financial condition, results of operations and/or cash
flows of Fleetmatics; the possibility that costs, fees, expenses or charges
Fleetmatics incurs in connection with the acquisition are greater than
expected; the possibility that the scheme of arrangement may be terminated in
circumstances that require Fleetmatics to reimburse certain expenses to
Verizon related to the acquisition; and changes in the economic and financial
conditions of the businesses of Verizon or Fleetmatics; and those discussed in
Fleetmatics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015
and Amendment No. 1 thereto under the heading “Risk Factors,” as updated
from time to time by Fleetmatics’ Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other
documents of Fleetmatics on file with the SEC or in the proxy statement on
Schedule 14A that will be filed with the SEC by Fleetmatics. There may be
additional risks that neither Fleetmatics nor Verizon presently know or that

“relevant securities” of Fleetmatics (including by means of an option in
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such “relevant securities”)
must be publicly disclosed by not later than 3:30 pm (Irish time) on the
“business” day following the date of the relevant transaction.  This
requirement will continue until the date on which the “offer period”
ends.  If two or more persons co-operate on the basis of any agreement,
either express or tacit, either oral or written, to acquire an “interest”
in “relevant securities” of Fleetmatics, they will be deemed to be a
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Rules.

securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an
“interest” by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by
virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Takeover Rules, which can also be
found on the Irish Takeover Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to

Recommended Cash Offer

for

Fleetmatics GROUP PLC

by

VERIZON BUSINESS INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS B.V.

A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF

VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC.

(to be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement under Chapter 1 of Part 9
of the Irish Companies Act 2014)

1.    Introduction

Verizon and Fleetmatics are pleased to announce that they have reached
agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer pursuant to which Bidco
will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Fleetmatics,
which is being implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under Chapter 1
of Part 9 of the Act.

2.    Summary of the terms of the Acquisition

The Acquisition will be on the terms and subject to the Conditions set out in
Appendix I to this Announcement and to be set out in the Scheme Document.

Under the terms of the Acquisition, if the Scheme becomes Effective,
Fleetmatics Shareholders will be entitled to receive:

for each Fleetmatics Ordinary Share                US$60.00 in
cash

The Cash Consideration represents a premium of approximately:

·            40% to Fleetmatics’ closing share price of US$42.96
on 29 July 2016 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of
this Announcement);

·            40% to Fleetmatics’ volume weighted average share
price of US$43.01 over the past 30 trading day period ending 29 July 2016; and

·            49% to Fleetmatics’ volume weighted average share
price of US$40.15 over the past 90 trading day period ending 29 July 2016.

The Acquisition values the entire issued share capital of Fleetmatics (on a
fully diluted basis) at approximately US$2.4 billion.

If any subdivision, reclassification, reorganisation, recapitalisation, split,
combination, contribution or exchange of shares stock dividend or other
distribution payable in any other securities of Fleetmatics in respect of the
Fleetmatics Ordinary Shares occurs on or after the date of the Transaction
Agreement, Verizon reserves the right to adjust the consideration payable for
each Fleetmatics Ordinary Share under the terms of the Acquisition to provide
the holders of Fleetmatics Ordinary Shares the same economic effect as
contemplated by the Transaction Agreement prior to such event.

3.    Background to and reasons for the Recommendation

The Fleetmatics Board has been considering the long-term strategy of
Fleetmatics and strategic opportunities that might be available to enhance
shareholder value on an ongoing basis. Such strategies and opportunities
include investments in new growth opportunities, potential acquisitions and
the possible sale of Fleetmatics.  Since May 2016, Verizon and Fleetmatics
had a series of discussions regarding the possibility of an acquisition by
Verizon of Fleetmatics and the possible terms of such a transaction. In
considering the proposed offer made by Verizon, the Fleetmatics Directors have
taken into account Verizon’s recent expansion into the industry of mobile
workforce solutions for service-based businesses of all sizes delivered as
software-as-a-service. The Fleetmatics Board also consulted with and received
advice and reports from Fleetmatics’ senior management and its financial and
legal advisers, and relied on its knowledge of Fleetmatics’ business,
assets, financial position, operating results, historical and current trading
prices of its securities, and the opportunities and challenges in its
businesses and the industries in which it operates, as well as information
relating to Verizon and the potential opportunities available to and future
business prospects of the Combined Group.

The Fleetmatics Directors believe that Verizon’s cash offer is attractive
given the balance of future opportunities, risks and competitive forces
confronting the business. Following careful consideration of the above factors
and the strategic options available to Fleetmatics, the Fleetmatics Board
believes that the price and terms of the Acquisition fairly reflects the
current market position of the business and recognises Fleetmatics’ growth
prospects, as well as the risks associated with those prospects.

In connection with a possible transaction, Fleetmatics retained Morgan Stanley
& Co. LLC, acting through its affiliate Morgan Stanley & Co. International
plc, as its financial adviser, and Goodwin Procter LLP and Maples and Calder,
as its legal advisers.

4.    Recommendation

The Fleetmatics Directors, who have been so advised by Morgan Stanley & Co.
International plc as to the financial terms of the Acquisition, consider the
terms of the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable.  In providing their
advice to the Fleetmatics Directors, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc
has taken into account the commercial assessments of the Fleetmatics
Directors. The Fleetmatics Directors unanimously determined that the
Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the
Scheme, are advisable for, fair to and in the best interests of, the
Fleetmatics Shareholders.

Accordingly, the Fleetmatics Directors intend to recommend unanimously that
Fleetmatics Shareholders vote or procure votes in favour of the Court Meeting
Resolution and the EGM Resolutions (or in the event that the Acquisition is
implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, Fleetmatics Shareholders accept or
procure acceptance of such Takeover Offer).

5.    Background to and reasons for the Acquisition

Members of Verizon’s management over time have reviewed and discussed
business, operational and strategic plans to enhance and complement
Verizon’s business units, including its Verizon Telematics subsidiary.
Further to such discussions, a series of conversations between the senior
management of Verizon and Fleetmatics began in May 2016 regarding the
possibility of an acquisition by Verizon of Fleetmatics and the possible terms
of such a transaction. In connection with a possible transaction, Verizon
retained PJT Partners LP and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as its financial
advisers and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, A&L Goodbody and 
Macfarlanes LLP as its legal advisers.

During the period preceding the execution of definitive documentation for the
Acquisition on 30 July 2016, the parties discussed and negotiated the
transaction terms and consulted with the Panel, and Verizon conducted due
diligence with respect to Fleetmatics’  business. In addition, members of
Verizon’s senior management consulted with and received advice and reports
from members of the Verizon Telematics team and Verizon’s financial and
legal advisers regarding Fleetmatics’ business and the proposed transaction
terms. On 29 July 2016, the Acquisition was approved by a committee of the
Verizon board of directors as well as by the Bidco managing board of
directors.

(i)             for the reason that the Court Meeting or the EGM
shall have been completed and the Court Meeting Resolution or the EGM
Resolutions, as applicable, shall not have been approved by the requisite

Alternative Proposal; or        

(C)        otherwise taken any action that is or is deemed to be a

(it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the provision by
Fleetmatics to Verizon of notice or information in connection with a
Fleetmatics Alternative Proposal or Fleetmatics Superior Proposal as required
or expressly permitted by the Transaction Agreement shall not, in and of
itself, satisfy the provisions of this paragraph (a)(i)); or

(ii)            by Fleetmatics, at any time prior to obtaining the
Fleetmatics Shareholder Approval, in order to enter into a definitive written
agreement to implement a Fleetmatics Superior Proposal; or

Alternative Proposal is publicly disclosed or any person shall have publicly
announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Fleetmatics

Business Days before the date of the Court Meeting (it being understood that,

Alternative Proposal and, in each case, such disclosure or announcement is not
publicly and irrevocably withdrawn without qualification at the time the
Transaction Agreement is terminated under the circumstances specified in
paragraph (c)(ii) below; and

(ii)            the Transaction Agreement is terminated by Verizon
in accordance with Clause 9 of the Transaction Agreement for the reason that
either:

(A)   Fleetmatics shall have breached or failed to perform in any material
respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Transaction
Agreement or any of its representations and warranties set forth in the
Transaction Agreement are inaccurate, which breach or failure to perform or
inaccuracy (A) would (1) result in a failure of any of the Conditions to the
Acquisition and the Scheme or of the other conditions to Verizon's obligations
to effect the Acquisition or (2) give rise to a termination right under Clause
9.1(a)(ix) of the Transaction Agreement if it were to exist during the
Pre-Sanction Period and (B) is not reasonably capable of being cured by the
End Date or, if curable, Verizon shall have given Fleetmatics written notice,
delivered at least 30 days prior to such termination, stating Verizon’s
intention to terminate the Transaction Agreement for such reason and the basis
for such termination and such breach or failure to perform shall not have been
cured within 30 days following the delivery of such written notice; or

(B)   Fleetmatics shall have breached or failed to perform any of its
covenants or obligations contained in the Transaction Agreement or any of its
representations and warranties set forth in the Transaction Agreement are
inaccurate, which breach or failure to perform or inaccuracy gave rise to a
termination right under Clause 9.1(a)(ix) of the Transaction Agreement during
the Pre-Sanction Period; and

(iii)           a Fleetmatics Alternative Proposal is consummated
within 12 months after such termination, or a definitive agreement providing
for a Fleetmatics Alternative Proposal is entered into within 12 months after
such termination and such Fleetmatics Alternative Proposal is consummated
pursuant to that definitive agreement (regardless of whether such Fleetmatics
Alternative Proposal is the same Fleetmatics Alternative Proposal referred to
in paragraph (c)(i) above).

For purposes of clause (b) and clause (c), a Fleetmatics Alternative Proposal
shall not be deemed to have been publically withdrawn by any person if, within
6 months after termination of the Transaction Agreement, Fleetmatics or any of
its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement providing for, or the
Fleetmatics Board or Fleetmatics approves or recommends to the Fleetmatics
Shareholders, or does not oppose, a Fleetmatics Alternative Proposal made by
or on behalf of such person or its affiliates, or such a Fleetmatics
Alternative Proposal is consummated.

Morgan Stanley and the Fleetmatics Board have each confirmed in writing to the
Panel that, in the opinion of Morgan Stanley and the Fleetmatics Board
(respectively), in the context of the Note to Rule 21.2 of the Takeover Rules
and the Acquisition, the Expenses Reimbursement Agreement is in the best
interests of the Fleetmatics Shareholders.

12.  Structure of the Acquisition

Scheme

It is intended that the Acquisition will be effected by a High
Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement between Fleetmatics and the Scheme
Shareholders in accordance with Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Act. The purpose of
the Scheme is to provide for Bidco to become the owner of the whole of the
issued and to be issued share capital of Fleetmatics.  Under the Scheme, all
Fleetmatics Ordinary Shares held by the Fleetmatics Shareholders will be
cancelled pursuant to sections 84 and 85 of the Act in accordance with the
terms of the Scheme. Fleetmatics will then issue new Fleetmatics Ordinary
Shares to Bidco in place of the Fleetmatics Ordinary Shares that were
cancelled pursuant to the Scheme and Bidco will pay the Cash Consideration for
the Acquisition to the former Fleetmatics Shareholders. As a result of these
arrangements, Fleetmatics will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Bidco.

Application to Court to sanction the Scheme

Once the approvals of the Fleetmatics Shareholders have been obtained at the
Court Meeting and the Extraordinary General Meeting, and the other Conditions
have been satisfied or (where applicable) waived, the Scheme must be
sanctioned by the High Court at the Court Hearing.

The Scheme will become Effective in accordance with its terms on delivery to
the Registrar of Companies of the Court Order together with the minute
required by Section 86 of the Act confirming the Reduction of Capital to take
place in connection with the Acquisition and the Reduction of Capital becomes
effective upon the registration of the Court Order and minute by the Registrar
of Companies.  Upon the Scheme becoming Effective, it will be binding on all
Scheme Shareholders, irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at
the Court Meeting or Extraordinary General Meeting, or whether they voted in
favour of or against the Scheme.

Full details of the Scheme to be set out in the Scheme Document

The Scheme is subject to the satisfaction (or, where applicable, waiver) of
the Conditions and the full terms and conditions to be set out in the Scheme
Document.  Further details of the Scheme will be set out in the Scheme
Document, including the expected timetable and the action to be taken by
Scheme Shareholders.

The Scheme will be governed by the laws of Ireland. The Scheme will be subject
to the applicable requirements of the Takeover Rules and, where relevant, the
applicable rules and regulations of the Act and the Exchange Act.

Rule 30.2 of the Takeover Rules requires that, except with the consent of the
Panel, and subject to Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Rules, Fleetmatics must
dispatch the Scheme Document to Fleetmatics Shareholders within 28 days of the
announcement of a firm intention to make an offer, being in this Announcement.
The Scheme Document will be included in the Proxy Statement that Fleetmatics
is required to file with the SEC in connection with the Acquisition. The
preparation of the Proxy Statement and, if the SEC staff elects to review the
Proxy Statement, the SEC staff’s review may take more than 28 days. Under
SEC rules, if the SEC staff elects to review the Proxy Statement, the Scheme
Document cannot be dispatched to Fleetmatics Shareholders until the Proxy
Statement is cleared by the SEC staff. Accordingly, on 28 July 2016, the Panel
agreed to grant the Parties a derogation from Rule 30.2. The Panel granted the
derogation on the basis that the Proxy Statement might be reviewed by the SEC
staff, in which case the Scheme Document cannot be dispatched until the Proxy
Statement is cleared by the SEC staff. If the SEC staff elects to review the
Proxy Statement, the Scheme Document will be dispatched to Fleetmatics
Shareholders as soon as practicable after the Proxy Statement is cleared by
the SEC staff.  If the SEC staff does not elect to review the Proxy
Statement, the Scheme Document will be dispatched to Fleetmatics Shareholders
as soon as practicable after the Proxy Statement is able to be filed by
Fleetmatics in definitive form with the SEC. The Scheme Document will also be
made available on Fleetmatics’ website Ir.fleetmatics.com.

Conditions to the Acquisition

The Acquisition shall be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out
in full in Appendix I to this Announcement and to be set out in the Scheme
Document.

Scheme timetable/further information

A full anticipated timetable will be set out in the Scheme Document.

At this stage, subject to the approval and availability of the High Court
(which is subject to change), Verizon expects the implementation of the
Acquisition to occur in the fourth quarter of 2016.

13.  De-listing and re-registration as a private limited company

It is intended that, subject to and following the Scheme becoming Effective,
and subject to applicable requirements of the NYSE, the Fleetmatics Ordinary
Shares will be delisted from the NYSE. The last day of dealing in Fleetmatics
Ordinary Shares on the NYSE will be the last Business Day before the Effective
Date (or, in certain circumstances, the Effective Date). As soon as reasonably
practicable after the Effective Date and after its shares are delisted, it is
intended that Fleetmatics will be re-registered as a company limited by shares
under the relevant provisions of the Act.

14.  Disclosure of interests and short positions in Fleetmatics

Save as disclosed in this paragraph 14, as at the close of business on 28 July
2016, being the latest practicable date prior to this Announcement, none of
Verizon, Bidco, any Verizon Director or any Bidco Director or, so far as
Verizon is aware, any person acting, or deemed to be acting, in concert with
Verizon:

(a)        had an interest in relevant securities of Fleetmatics;

(b)        had any short position in relevant securities of
Fleetmatics;

(c)        had received an irrevocable commitment or letter of intent
to accept the terms of the Acquisition in respect of relevant securities of

901,367 Fleetmatics Ordinary Shares.

As of 28 July 2016, being the last practicable date prior to this
Announcement, Verizon and its affiliates held the following Fleetmatics

3,424

Furthermore, no arrangement to which Rule 8.7 of the Takeover Rules applies
exists between Verizon, Bidco or Fleetmatics or a person Acting in Concert
with Verizon, Bidco or Fleetmatics in relation to Fleetmatics Ordinary
Shares.  For these purposes, an “arrangement to which Rule 8.7 of the
Takeover Rules applies” includes any indemnity or option arrangement, and
any agreement or understanding, formal or informal, of whatever nature,
between two or more persons relating to relevant securities which is or may be
an inducement to one or more of
