PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. Before making an investment decision, you should read carefully this entire prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and any other offering materials, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 15 of this prospectus.

Our Business

We are a telematics services company that provides a suite of real-time voice and data communications services and applications for use in vehicles and are developing additional applications for use within and outside of the automotive industry. These services are enabled through a state-of-the-art communications center designed and built to connect various mobile devices with content, services and call centers. Our system architecture enables us to manage the integration of these components and the associated service delivery in an efficient manner, allowing us to quickly adopt and implement new technologies and services.

Within the automotive industry, our communications center allows for two way voice and data communications to the vehicle and supports, among other things, critical safety and security services as well as location-based services and remote diagnostics. Since November 16, 2009, we have been the exclusive telematics service provider in the United States for all new vehicles sold by Mercedes-Benz, and we are now the preferred provider of telematics services for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles purchased prior to November 16, 2009. These services are marketed under the mbrace® brand and are enabled through a factory-installed hardware device in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In addition, our In-Drive® solution offers services to consumers and other third parties through an aftermarket hardware device that we have developed and which we intend to distribute through relationships with companies and organizations with large customer bases for installation in existing vehicles. In August 2010, we entered into an agreement with State Farm to provide our In-Drive telematics services to certain customers of State Farm, and in August 2011, we entered into an agreement with AAA Club Partners to provide our In-Drive telematics services to certain customers of AAA Club Partners. Through Networkfleet, Inc. (“Networkfleet”), our wholly owned subsidiary, we currently offer remote vehicle monitoring and other data services to support owners and operators of fleets of vehicles.

In May 2010, we broadened our connected services beyond the automotive market to include the mobile health and wellness industry with the formation of Lifecomm, LLC (“Lifecomm”), a majority owned subsidiary founded with QUALCOMM Incorporated (“Qualcomm”), a leader in developing and delivering innovative digital wireless communications products and services, and American Medical Alert Corp. (“AMAC”), a healthcare communications company dedicated to the provision of support services to the healthcare community. Lifecomm intends to design, develop, finance and operate a mobile personal emergency response service which will permit subscribers to initiate requests for emergency assistance services through a wearable device that is able to communicate information to and support voice interactions between the subscriber and an emergency assistance call center for purposes of dispatching first responders to the subscriber's location. We expect to launch the Lifecomm service offerings late in the fourth quarter of 2011.

On March 31, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 13, 2008 (as amended and restated on November 10, 2008 and March 12, 2009, the “Merger Agreement”), Hughes Telematics, Inc. (“Old HTI”), a privately held company, and Polaris Acquisition Corp. (“Polaris”), a publicly held blank check company, consummated a merger (the “Merger”) whereby Old HTI merged with and into a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Polaris with Old HTI as the surviving corporation, and immediately thereafter, Old HTI merged with and into Polaris, with Polaris as the surviving corporation. In connection with the Merger, Polaris changed its name from “Polaris Acquisition Corp.” to “HUGHES Telematics, Inc.”

As used in this prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, references to “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Old HTI for periods prior to the consummation of the Merger and refer to HUGHES Telematics, Inc. for periods following the consummation of the Merger.

Table of Contents

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sales of shares of common stock by the selling security holders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering 11,311,709 shares of common stock. As used in this prospectus, the term “selling security holders” includes pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received from the selling security holders as pledgors, assignees, borrowers or in connection with other non-sale-related transfers after the date of this prospectus. This prospectus may also be used by transferees of the selling security holders, including broker-dealers or other transferees who borrow or purchase the shares to settle or close out short sales of shares of common stock. Selling security holders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale or non-sale related transfer. We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales of shares of common stock by the selling security holders.

We expect that the selling security holders will sell their shares primarily through sales on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which our shares are traded or in private transactions. Sales of our common stock may be made at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices and may be effected by means of one or more of the following transactions, which may involve cross or block transactions:


•	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;


•	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;


•	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;


•	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;


•	privately negotiated transactions;


•	settlement of short sales;


•	transactions in which broker-dealers may agree with one or more selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;


•	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;


•	underwritten offerings; or


•	a combination of any of the above or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling security holders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, or Section 4(1) under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of those provisions.

The selling security holders will have the sole discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of their shares of common stock if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at a particular time. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution, including the names of any broker-dealers, underwriters or agents.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchase of shares, from the purchaser, in amounts to be negotiated. Selling security holders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

In connection with sales of common stock, or interests therein, selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. Selling security holders may also engage in short sales, puts and calls or other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell and deliver shares in connection with these transactions.

Selling security holders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents involved in an arrangement to sell any of the offered shares may, under certain circumstances, be deemed to be “underwriters” with respect to securities they sell within the

Table of Contents

meaning of the Securities Act. Any profit on such sales and any discount, commission, concession or other compensation received by any such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent, may be deemed an underwriting discount and commission under the Exchange Act. No selling security holder has informed us that they have an agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. If a selling security holder should notify us that they have a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of their shares, we may be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreement between the selling security holder and broker-dealer, underwriter or agent, provide required information regarding the plan of distribution, and otherwise revise the disclosure in this prospectus as needed. If required, we would also file the agreement between the selling security holder and the broker-dealer as an exhibit to the post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of our common stock, including SEC filing fees. Each selling security holder will be responsible for all costs and expenses in connection with the sale of their shares of common stock, including brokerage commissions or dealer discounts. Selling security holders will be indemnified by us against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

There can be no assurance that the selling security holders will sell any or all of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Selling security holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common stock by them. The foregoing may affect the marketability of such securities. To comply with the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, if applicable, the common stock will be offered or sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

Selling security holders and other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock offered hereby will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M. With certain exceptions, Regulation M restricts certain activities of, and limits the timing of purchases and sales of, any of the shares by selling security holders, affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the sale or distribution. Under Regulation M, these persons are precluded from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security subject to the distribution until the distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares offered by this prospectus.

We have been informed that each selling security holder that is an affiliate of a broker-dealer purchased its shares in the ordinary course of business and, at the time of the purchase of the shares to be resold pursuant to this prospectus, such selling security holder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such shares.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement executed in connection with the private placement that we completed on October 7, 2011, we have filed a registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, with the SEC under the Securities Act to register the shares of common stock offered by certain of the selling security holders. See “Description of Securities-Shareholders' Agreement” and “Description of Securities-Registration Rights Agreements.” Up to 11,311,709 shares of our common stock are being offered by this prospectus, all of which are being registered for sale for the accounts of the selling security holders. The shares of common stock are being registered to permit public sales of the shares, and the selling security holders may offer the shares for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling security holders may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to another effective registration statement covering those shares. We may from time to time include additional selling security holders in amendments to this prospectus.

In connection with the Merger, on March 31, 2009, we entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), with Communications Investors, LLC ("Communications LLC") (in its capacity as representative of the holders of shares of Old HTI common stock), Trivergance, LLC (in its capacity as representative of our initial stockholders) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (in its capacity as escrow agent). Communications LLC, our controlling stockholder, is an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC. As of the date hereof, 58,498,131 shares of common stock are held in escrow subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, pending the satisfaction of certain earn-out targets and to satisfy certain possible indemnification claims. None of the shares offered by this prospectus are subject to the Escrow Agreement. Shares subject to the Escrow Agreement are included in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating the ownership percentages below.

The table below sets forth certain information regarding the selling security holders and the shares of our common stock offered by them in this prospectus.

Because each selling security holder may offer all, some or none of the shares it holds, no definitive estimate as to the number of shares that will be held by each selling security holder after the offering can be provided. The following table has been prepared on the assumption that all shares offered under this prospectus will be sold to parties unaffiliated with the selling security holders. The selling security holders have not had a material relationship with us within the past three years other than as described in the footnotes to the table below or as a result of their acquisition of our shares or other securities. Other than Crescent 1, L.P., CRS Fund, Ltd., Cyrus Opportunities Master Fund II, Ltd., Cyrus Select Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd., Wellington Management Portfolios (Dublin) plc - US Capital Appreciation Equity Portfolio, Wellington Management Portfolios (Luxembourg) - Global Select Capital Appreciation Equity Portfolio, Wellington Trust Company, National Association Multiple Collective Investment Funds Trust, Capital Appreciation Equity Portfolio, Wellington Trust Company, National Association Multiple Collective Investment Funds Trust II, Global Equities Portfolio and Wellington Trust Company, National Association Multiple Common Trust Funds Trust, Capital Appreciation Portfolio, which we have been informed are affiliates of a broker-dealer, to our knowledge, no selling security holder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. We have been informed that each selling security holder that is an affiliate of a broker-dealer purchased its shares in the ordinary course of business and, at the time of the purchase of the shares to be resold pursuant to this prospectus, such selling security holder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such shares.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Each selling security holder's percentage of ownership of our outstanding shares in the table below is based upon 105,570,928 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 11, 2011.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock

Authorized and Outstanding

We are authorized to issue up to 155,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 105,570,928 shares are outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.

Voting Rights

Holders of our common stock have the right to cast one vote for each share of common stock in their name on our books, whether represented in person or by proxy, on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock, including election of directors. There is no right to cumulative voting in election of directors. Except where a greater requirement is provided by statute, by our certificate of incorporation or by-laws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of one or more holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote by the holders of a majority of outstanding shares is required to effect certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or amendment of our certificate of incorporation.

Dividends

Although there are no restrictions in our certificate of incorporation or by-laws that prevent us from declaring dividends, we have not declared any dividends to date and do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to the terms of our debt agreements which, among other things, limit the amount of dividends we may pay.

Preemptive Rights

Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and no redemption or sinking fund provisions are applicable to our common stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the shares of common stock sold in the offering will when issued, be fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. No shares of preferred stock are outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.

Units and Warrants

Sponsor Warrants and IPO Warrants

On January 17, 2008, we completed our initial public offering of 15,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (the “IPO Warrants”). In conjunction with the consummation of the initial public offering, we sold an aggregate of 4,500,000 warrants (the “Sponsor Warrants” and, together with the IPO Warrants, the “Polaris Warrants”) to certain existing stockholders on a private placement basis at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate price of $4.5 million. Each Polaris Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00. The Polaris Warrants expire on January 10, 2012 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or upon earlier redemption by us: (i) in whole and not in part; (ii) at a price of $0.01 per Polaris Warrant at any time after the Polaris Warrants become exercisable; (iii) upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption; and (iv) if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $14.25 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption. The right to exercise the Polaris Warrants will be forfeited unless they are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a Polaris Warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder's Polaris Warrant upon surrender of such Polaris Warrant.

The Sponsor Warrants are identical to the IPO Warrants except that, if the IPO Warrants are called for redemption, the Sponsor Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are still held by the original holders or their affiliates. If the original holders retain any Sponsor Warrants and take advantage of this option, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their Sponsor Warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Sponsor Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Sponsor Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of Polaris Warrants.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the Polaris Warrants may be adjusted in

Table of Contents

certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Polaris Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The Polaris Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Polaris Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No Polaris Warrants will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so and, if we do not maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Polaris Warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and we will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Polaris Warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, we will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the Polaris Warrants may have no value, the market for the Polaris Warrants may be limited, and they may expire worthless.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Polaris Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Polaris Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

As of October 11, 2011, there were Polaris Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 16,743,180 shares of common stock at a price of $7.00 per share.

Second Lien Warrants

On December 17, 2009, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) with PLASE HT, LLC ("PLASE HT") as administrative agent, collateral agent and original lender, pursuant to which we issued, for aggregate consideration of $15.0 million, second lien term indebtedness due October 1, 2013 with an original principal amount of $15.0 million and a warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share (the “Second Lien Warrants”). The Second Lien Warrants expire on December 17, 2014 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time. As a result of the private placement completed on May 13, 2010, the exercise price of the Second Lien Warrants was adjusted to $5.99 per share.

On February 7, 2011, we entered into an incremental loan commitment agreement with a group of investors pursuant to which the investors made loans in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.0 million under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the loans, we issued the investors Second Lien Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.99 per share.

The Second Lien Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at our offices, with the notice of exercise duly executed and accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of common stock being purchased pursuant to such Second Lien Warrant. The holder may elect to pay such exercise price in (i) cash, good certified check or good bank draft payable to us, (ii) shares of common stock with an aggregate “fair market value” equal to the exercise price or (iii) the form of notes payable or other indebtedness issued by us, which shall be cancelled, in a principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to and including the date of exercise, equal to the exercise price. Alternatively, the holder may elect to “net exercise” a Second Lien Warrant by agreeing to accept that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying such Second Lien Warrant, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Second Lien Warrant and the fair market value by (y) the exercise price of the Second Lien Warrant. As used in the warrant agreement governing the Second Lien Warrants, “fair market value” shall mean the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock for the 20 most recent trading days on which sales have occurred ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Second Lien Warrant is exercised.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the Second Lien Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In the event we issue any shares of common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for

Table of Contents

common stock (in each case, other than an issuance of “excluded securities” as defined in the warrant agreement) at a purchase price per share below fair market value, the exercise price of the Second Lien Warrants may also be adjusted downward to a price equal to the price obtained by multiplying (x) the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such common stock or other securities, by (y) a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the sum of (a) the number of shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to such issuance and (b) the number of additional shares of common stock which the aggregate consideration for the number of shares of common stock so offered would purchase at fair market value and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis immediately after such issuance.

The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock or any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Second Lien Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Second Lien Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Second Lien Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

As of October 11, 2011, there were Second Lien Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.99 per share.

Shareholders' Agreement

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, Polaris, the initial shareholders of Polaris, and certain security holders of Old HTI, including those selling security holders who were holders of Old HTI's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Shareholders”), entered into the Shareholders' Agreement.

Additionally, Polaris' initial stockholders and holders of Old HTI's common stock agreed not to transfer, as applicable, (i) any earn-out shares placed in escrow by Polaris' initial stockholders pursuant to the Escrow Agreement or (ii) any earn-out shares, including shares of our common stock underlying earn-out options, issued to them in the Merger and placed in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, until:


•	with respect to shares released from escrow between the first and second anniversaries (including the second anniversary) of the closing of the Merger, upon the achievement of the share price target for the first tranche of earn-out shares, one year following the distribution of these securities from escrow; and


•	with respect to any other shares released from escrow (including sponsor earn-out shares and earn-out shares in the first tranche that are not released on or before the second anniversary of the closing of the Merger), the earlier of (i) six months following the distribution of these shares from escrow and (ii) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Merger.

All of the former holders of Old HTI's common stock are subject to these transfer restrictions except for one non-employee, unaffiliated stockholder of Old HTI, who owned fewer than 50,000 shares of our common stock at the closing of the Merger (including earn-out shares). Parties to the Shareholders' Agreement may vote the earn-out shares, escrowed indemnity shares and sponsor earn-out shares, as applicable, without restriction while they remain in escrow.

The parties to the Shareholders' Agreement agreed that in the event Marc V. Byron, one of our directors, resigns, is removed, or is unable to serve on our board of directors while earn-out shares or escrowed indemnity shares remain in escrow (the “escrow period”), we will nominate a replacement designated by Polaris' initial stockholders (as determined by a majority-in-interest of such stockholders) and parties to the Shareholders' Agreement will vote their shares in favor of Marc V. Byron or a replacement director designated by Polaris' initial stockholders until the earlier of (i) the termination of the escrow period and (ii) the date when Polaris' initial stockholders hold less that 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock held by Polaris' initial stockholders at the closing of the Merger.

The Shareholders' Agreement also provides for certain registration rights beginning after the expiry of the applicable transfer restrictions for the shares of our common stock issued to the Series B Shareholders and holders of Old HTI's common stock in the Merger, the shares of our common stock held by Polaris' initial stockholders, the Sponsor Warrants and shares of Polaris common stock underlying such warrants (the “registerable securities”). Under the Shareholders' Agreement, the Series B Shareholders, former holders of Old HTI's common stock and Polaris' initial stockholders are afforded demand rights, shelf registration rights and “piggyback” rights.

Pursuant to the Shareholders' Agreement, the Series B Shareholders are entitled to “piggyback” rights and are separately entitled to two demand registrations and may demand an underwritten offering.

The former holders of Old HTI's common stock holding a majority-in-interest of the such stockholders' registerable

Table of Contents

securities and Polaris' initial stockholders holding a majority-in-interest of such stockholders' registerable securities will be able to make written demands to us to register all or any portion of their respective registerable securities at any time after the expiry of the applicable transfer restrictions and will also be able to make shelf takedown demands for their respective registerable securities at any time after we have become eligible to file registration statements on Form S-3 and after the expiry of the applicable transfer restrictions. We are not required to (i) effect more than two demand registrations and two shelf takedown demands initiated by Polaris' initial stockholders or four demand registrations and four shelf takedown demands initiated by former holders of Old HTI's common stock or (ii) effect a demand registration or shelf takedown for Polaris' initial stockholders if the value of registerable securities in the proposed registration or shelf takedown is less than $2.0 million, or effect a demand registration or shelf takedown for the former holders of Old HTI's common stock if the value of registerable securities in the proposed registration or shelf takedown is less than $20.0 million. The demand notice and demand registration are subject to customary limitations on demands, cutbacks, withdrawals and underwriters. Former holders of Old HTI's common stock and Polaris' initial stockholders will have unlimited “piggyback” rights after the expiry of the applicable transfer restrictions, subject to customary restrictions. Securities will cease to be registerable pursuant to the Shareholders' Agreement once they are saleable under Rule 144 and not subject to the volume restrictions therein.

We agreed to indemnify the parties to the Shareholders' Agreement from any losses arising out of, or based upon, any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus, any omission to state a material fact therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or any violation by us of the Securities Act. However, the SEC has taken the position that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is against public policy and unenforceable. The Shareholders' Agreement will terminate (i) with respect to the former security holders of Old HTI, on the date when the former security holders of Old HTI together hold less than 10% of the outstanding our common stock, and (ii) with respect to all parties, on the date of a change of control of our company. The registration rights of the former security holders of Old HTI and Polaris' initial stockholders, as applicable, will survive until such holders no longer own any of our common stock (or, with respect to Polaris' initial stockholders, any warrants). The indemnification provisions will survive the termination of the Shareholders' Agreement.

Amended and Restated Co-Sale and Stock Restriction Agreement

In connection with the private financings that Old HTI consummated between March 2008 and March 2009, Old HTI entered into the Co-Sale Agreement with the purchasers in such private financings (the “Old HTI Investors”). The provisions of the Co-Sale Agreement that provided for “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the common stock held by the Old HTI Investors survived the consummation of the Merger. In connection with the “piggyback” registration rights provided to the Old HTI Investors, we agreed to indemnify the Old HTI Investors from any losses arising out of, or based upon, any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus, any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading insofar as such registration statement or prospectus included securities requested to be registered pursuant to the Co-Sale Agreement. We are not required to provide indemnification for any losses arising out of, or based upon, any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus, any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformance with information furnished in writing or on behalf of any Old HTI Investor to us expressly for use in the registration statement or prospectus.

Registration Rights Agreements

In connection with the issuance of our Second Lien Credit Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with PLASE HT, dated as of December 17, 2009, pursuant to which we granted PLASE HT customary “piggyback” registration rights.

In connection with the private placements we consummated on December 28, 2009, May 13, 2010 and February 7, 2011, we entered into registration rights agreements with the respective purchasers requiring that, among other things, we register the resale of the shares of common stock sold in such private placements. Such registration statements (File Nos. 333-164930, 333-168198 and 333-173965) were declared effective by the SEC on April 16, 2010, August 18, 2010 and May 12, 2011, respectively.

In connection with the private placement we consummated on October 7, 2011, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the purchasers requiring that, among other things, we file the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, to register the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the private placement. Cash penalties of 1% of the aggregate purchase price per month, but no more than 12% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the security holders, may apply if the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, is not effective by the earlier of (i) July 17, 2012 (or October 17, 2012 in the event that the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, is subject to review by the SEC) and (ii) the fourth business day after the date we are notified by the SEC that the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

Stock Incentive Plans

Table of Contents

Our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) provides for share-based compensation awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and share awards, to our officers, employees, non-employee directors and non-employee consultants. There are 3,047,900 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors which determines eligibility, amount, and other terms and conditions of awards. Options awarded under the 2006 Plan generally have a term of ten years and an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant. Generally, half of each award vests in equal parts over a period of three years of continued employment or service with us. The remaining half of each award vests upon the achievement of certain pre-established performance goals set by our board of directors. In the event an option holder's service to us is terminated for either (i) other than good reason, as defined in the 2006 Plan, before the fifth anniversary of the holder's service to us or (ii) cause, we may repurchase any stock obtained through the exercise of a stock option within 180 days of such holder's termination date at a price equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the stock on the date of termination or the exercise price of the stock option. In the event an option holder's service to us is terminated for any of (i) good reason, as defined in the 2006 Plan, (ii) other than cause or (iii) following the fifth anniversary of such holder's service to us, we may repurchase any stock obtained through the exercise of a stock option within 180 days of such holder's termination date at a price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of termination.

Our 2009 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) provides for the grant of share-based awards, including restricted common stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other share based awards, as well as cash bonuses and long-term cash awards to our directors, officers, employees, advisors and consultants who are selected for participation in the 2009 Plan. There are 2,500,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors which determines eligibility, amount, and other terms and conditions of awards.

Item 15.	Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, referred to herein as the “certificate of incorporation,” provides that a director of our company shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of our company will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Our amended and restated by-laws, referred to herein as the “by-laws,” provide for the same indemnification for directors and officers of our company.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that all directors, officers, employees and agents of our company shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he or she is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

Our by-laws provide that we will indemnify any of our directors and officers who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of our company, referred to herein as a “Third Party Proceeding,” by reason of the fact that he or she was or is a director or officer, employee or agent of ours, acting solely in such capacity, or a person serving at our request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, committee or other enterprise, each referred to herein as an “Authorized Representative,” against his or her expenses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the Third Party Proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by him or her to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests and, with respect to any Third Party Proceeding involving potential criminal liability, referred to herein as a “Criminal Third Party Proceeding,” had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Third Party Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests or, with respect to any Criminal Third Party Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Our by-laws provide that we will indemnify any director or officer of ours who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by us to produce a judgment in favor of our shareholders, or any threatened, pending or completed action or suit in the right of our company by our stockholders to procure a judgment in our favor, referred to herein as a “Derivative Action,” by reason of the fact that the director or officer was or is an Authorized Representative of ours, against his or her expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in the action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by him or her to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests; except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which

II-1

Table of Contents

he or she has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to us unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas, or other similarly constituted state court, located in the county where our registered office is located or the court in which such Derivative Action is or was pending, determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for expenses which the court deems proper.

An Authorized Representative of our company (other than a director or officer of ours) may be indemnified by us or have his or her expenses advanced in accordance with the procedures described below. To the extent that an Authorized Representative of ours has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Third Party Proceeding or Derivative Action or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Authorized Representative will be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

Indemnification under the provisions of our by-laws described above (unless ordered by a court) will be made by us only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the indemnification of the Authorized Representative is required or proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above or has been successful on the merits or as otherwise in defense of any Third Party Proceeding or Derivative Action and that the amount requested has been actually and reasonably incurred. Such determination shall be made:

(a) by our board of directors or a committee thereof, acting by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of our directors who are not parties to a Third Party Proceeding or Derivative Action, referred to herein as “Disinterested Directors”; or

(b) if a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a majority vote of a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that expenses incurred in defending a Third Party Proceeding or Derivative Action will be paid on behalf of a director or officer, and may be paid on behalf of any other Authorized Representative under our by-laws, by us in advance of the final disposition of the action as authorized in the manner provided above upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by us as authorized by our certificate of incorporation or by-laws. The financial ability of any Authorized Representative to make repayment will not be a prerequisite to the making of an advance. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as our board of directors deems appropriate.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by us in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by us as authorized by the certificate of incorporation.

The indemnification provided by our by-laws is not deemed to be exclusive of any other right to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors, or otherwise, both as to action taken in another capacity while holding his or her office or position, and will continue as to a person who has ceased to be an Authorized Representative of ours and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs and personal representatives.

Our by-laws provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an Authorized Representative against any expenses and liabilities asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify him or her against such expenses and liabilities under the provisions of our by-laws.

Our board of directors is expected to approve a form of Indemnification Agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) to be entered into between us and our directors and officers. We may from time to time enter into additional indemnification agreements with future directors and officers of ours or other key personnel.

Each of the Indemnification Agreements is expected to provide, among other things, that we will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each indemnitee if, by reason of such indemnitee's status as a director or officer of ours, such indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, against all losses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in writing in advance by us) and incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. In addition, each of the Indemnification Agreements is expected to provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any proceeding covered by

II-2

Table of Contents

the agreement, subject to certain exceptions. None of the Indemnification Agreements is expected to preclude any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled, including but not limited to, any rights arising under our governance documents, or any other agreement, any vote of our stockholders or any applicable law.


Item 16.	Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index on page II-6 hereof, which is incorporated by reference in this Item 16.


Item 17.	Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange

II-3

Table of Contents

Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
