Item 8.01       Other Events.
 
On June 24, 2009, HUGHES Telematics, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from Old Carco LLC f/k/a Chrysler LLC (“Old Chrysler”) of a hearing on the Tenth Omnibus Motion of Debtors and Debtors in Possession, Pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 6006, For the Rejection of Certain Executory Contracts (the “Notice”).  Pursuant to the Notice, Old Chrysler is proposing to reject certain contracts identified in the Notice, including the Company’s telematics services contract with Old Chrysler, at a hearing on July 16, 2009. The identified contracts will not be assigned or assumed by Chrysler Group LLC, the newly-formed entity that purchased the assets of Old Chrysler in the bankruptcy (“New Chrysler”). 

Notwithstanding the Notice, the Company and New Chrysler are continuing to work together on deploying the Company’s hardware and launching the Company’s services in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Concurrently, the Company has been and continues to be in active negotiations with New Chrysler concerning a new telematics services agreement that is mutually satisfactory to the parties.  There can be no assurances that the Company will reach an agreement with New Chrysler on terms that are satisfactory to the Company or New Chrysler. 

On June 26, 2009, the Company obtained a waiver from its senior secured lenders under the credit agreement dated March 31, 2008 (as amended and restated, the “Credit Agreement”) providing that the rejection of the Old Chrysler contract will not impact the Company’s existing obligations under the Credit Agreement.
