may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you

otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our letter dated June 20, 2019.
Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4

provision will not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
other federal securities laws for which there is exclusive federal or concurrent federal and
state jurisdiction. Please revise your risk factor regarding the exclusive forum provision
so that this is clear. In particular, we note the following disclosure: "Accordingly, the
exclusive forum provision will not apply to actions arising under federal securities law or
any other claim for which there is exclusive federal jurisdiction. The exclusive forum
provision may be found unenforceable or inapplicable by a court in an action arising
under federal securities law in which there is concurrent state and federal jurisdiction."
Comparative Per Share Information, page 58
3.The Pointer equivalent pro forma earnings/(loss) per share data should be calculated by
multiplying the pro forma earnings/(loss) per share by the exchange ratio. Please revise
accordingly.
4.We note your response to comment 15. Clarify in footnote (4) how the equivalent per
share amounts were calculated. Also, please remove the second sentence of this footnote
or explain to us how potential shares should have an impact on the equivalent per share
disclosures.
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders of I.D. Systems Common Stock, page
122
5.Please revise to indicate that it is the opinion of named tax counsel that the I.D. Systems
Merger, the Pointer Merger and the Preferred Investment, taken together, will be treated
as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code and that the I.D. Systems Merger
qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Remove
language here and on pages 14 and 24 that it is “intended” that the transactions so qualify
or that you are assuming this tax treatment. Please refer to Staff Legal Bulletin 19,
Legality and Tax Opinions in Registered Offerings, Section III.C.3 addressing
assumptions within tax opinions. Lastly, clarify that the resulting material tax
consequences to I.D. Systems shareholders that you describe constitute counsel’s opinion.
Refer to Staff Legal Bulletin 19, Section III.B.2 addressing short-form tax opinions.
