Item 1.
Business.
PART I
MICT was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 31, 2002. On March 14, 2013, the Company changed its corporate name from Lapis Technologies, Inc. to
Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. On July 13, 2018, following the sale of its former subsidiary Enertec Systems Ltd., the Company changed its name from
Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. to MICT, Inc. The Company’s shares have been listed for trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, since April 29,
2013.
The Company’s business relates to its ownership interest in Micronet, a former consolidated subsidiary, formed and based in Israel, in which the Company
previously held a majority ownership interest that has since been diluted to a minority ownership interest.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr.
David Lucatz, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24,
2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE. As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in
Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On February 24, 2019, Mr. Lucatz, executed a new irrevocable proxy, or the Micronet Proxy, assigning his voting
power over 1,980,000 shares of Micronet for our benefit. As a result, the Company’s voting interest in Micronet stood at 39.53% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Micronet as of such date. The decrease in the Company’s voting interest in Micronet resulted in the deconsolidation of Micronet’s operating results from
our financial statements as of February 24, 2019. Therefore, commencing from February 24, 2019, the Company has accounted for the investment in Micronet in
accordance with the equity method. As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $299,000 in February 2019.
On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%,
and our current voting interest in Micronet stands at 37.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet,
Micronet operates in the growing commercial Mobile Resource Management, or MRM, market and video analytics device market. Micronet through both its Israeli
and U.S. operational offices, designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with
computing solutions in challenging work environments. Micronet’s vehicle portable tablets increase workforce productivity and enhance corporate efficiency by
offering computing power and communication capabilities that provide fleet operators with visibility into vehicle location, fuel usage, speed and mileage.
Furthermore, users are able to manage the drivers in various aspects, such as: driver behavior, driver identification, reporting hours worked, customer/organization
working procedures and protocols, route management and navigation based on tasks and time schedule. End users may also receive real time messages for various
services such as pickup and delivery, repair and maintenance, status reports, alerts, notices relating to the start and ending of work, digital forms, issuing and
printing of invoices and payments. Through its SmartHub product, Micronet provides its consumers with services such as driver recognition, identifying and
preventing driver fatigue, recognizing driver behavior, preventive maintenance, fuel efficiency and an advanced driver assistance system. In addition, Micronet
provides third party telematics service providers, or TSPs, a platform to offer services such as “Hours of Service.” Micronet previously commenced and continues
to evaluate integration with other TSPs.

Micronet is currently entering the video analytics device market by developing an all in-one video telematics device known as Micronet SmartCam. Micronet
SmartCam technologically is based on the powerful flexible Android platform, is expected to be a ruggedized, integrated, and ready-to-go smart camera supporting
complete telematics features designed for in-vehicle use. Coupled with vehicle-connected interfaces, state of the art diagnostic capabilities, and two cameras, it
offers video analytics and telematics services, addressing safety, vehicle health, and tracking needs of commercial fleets. We believe that Micronet SmartCam
provides a versatile, advanced, and affordable mobile computing platform for a variety of fleet management and video analytics solutions. The powerful computing
platform, coupled with the Android 9 operating system, allows the company customers to run their applications or pick and choose a set of applications and
services from Micronet marketplace. Micronet’s customers consist primarily of application service providers, or ASPs, and solution providers specializing in the
MRM market. These companies sell Micronet’s products as part of their MRM systems and solutions. Currently, Micronet does not sell directly to end users.
Micronet customers are generally MRM solution and service providers, ASP providers in the transportation market, including long haul, local fleets’ student
transportation (yellow busses) and fleet and field management systems for construction and heavy equipment. Micronet products are used by customers worldwide.
Micronet operates and conducts its business in the U.S. market through Micronet Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary located in Utah. The Micronet U.S.-based
business, operations and facilities include a logistics warehouse and distribution center, and technical service and support infrastructure as well as sales and
marketing capabilities which allow Micronet to continue expansion into the U.S. market while support its existing U.S.-based customers with further accessibility
and presence to local fleets and local MRM service providers.

MICT. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Intermediate. The Merger Agreement also contains customary
representations, warranties and covenants made by, among others, MICT, Intermediate and Merger Sub, including as to the conduct of their respective businesses
(as applicable) between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Merger Agreement provides that all options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that are outstanding and unexercised shall be accelerated in
full effective as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition. The options shall survive the closing of the Acquisition for a period of 15 months
from the date of the closing of the Acquisition and all equity incentive plans of the Company shall remain in effect.

We do not currently have any ongoing business operations relating to the sale, manufacturing, commercialization or research and development of any products and
services and do not have any consolidated subsidiaries with such ongoing business operations. As discussed above in this Item 1, as of February 24, 2019, we have
deconsolidated Micronet’s operating results from our financial statements.
Employees
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately 6 full-time employees (and as of February 18, 2020, the Company had approximately 6 full-time
employees) and Micronet had approximately 38 full-time employees (as of February 18, 2020, Micronet had approximately 37 full-time employees). Of these
employees, 10 were employed in manufacturing positions, and the remainder were employed in sales, research and development, management and administrative
positions. Our and Micronet’s employees are not represented by any collective bargaining agreement, and both we and Micronet have never experienced a work
stoppage. Both we and Micronet, to the best of our knowledge, have good and sustainable relations with our and its employees, respectively. Israeli labor laws and
regulations apply to all employees based in Israel. The laws principally address matters such as paid vacation, paid sick days, length of the workday, payment for
overtime and severance payments upon the retirement or death of an employee or termination of employment under specified circumstances. The severance
payments may be funded, in whole or in part, through a managers’ insurance fund or a pension fund. The payments to the managers’ insurance fund or pension
fund toward severance amount to 8.3% of wages. Furthermore, Israeli employees and employers are required to pay predetermined sums to the National Insurance
Institute of Israel. Since January 1, 1995, these amounts also include payments for health insurance.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following factors and other information in this
Annual Report and our other SEC filings before making a decision to invest in our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of may
become important factors that affect us. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial conditions and operating results may be materially and
adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock and warrants may decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to MICT’s Business and Industry
If the conditions to the Acquisition are not met, the Acquisition may not occur.
In addition to approval by the stockholders of MICT, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the Acquisition. These conditions, described in
detail in the Merger Agreement, include, in addition to shareholder consent and among other requirements: (i) the expiration or termination of any waiting period,
and extension thereof, applicable under any antitrust laws, (ii) receipt or filing of any and all required consents from all applicable government authorities or third
person, (iii) no law or order preventing the transactions by any applicable governmental authority shall have been issued, enforced or in effect, (iv) no pending
litigation to enjoin or restrict the closing, as defined in the Merger Agreement, by any non-affiliated third-party, (v) the definitive proxy statement shall have been
filed with the SEC, (vi) each party’s representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the closing of the Merger
Agreement, (vii) each party’s compliance in all material respects with its covenants and agreements to be complied with or performed on or prior to the closing
date of the Acquisition, (viii) no material adverse effect with respect to a party since the date of the Merger Agreement which remains continuing and uncured, (ix)
the effectiveness of the ParagonEx and Beijing Brookfield Share Exchange Agreements, (x) the appointment of the post-closing board of directors of MICT, (xi)
the delivery by each applicable party of each of the required closing deliveries, (x) the voting agreement and lock-up agreements being in full force and effect, and
(xi) the lack of indebtedness of MICT other than $3,350,000. MICT, ParagonEx and Beijing Brookfield cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be
satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Acquisition may not occur, or may be delayed. Such delays may cause MICT, ParagonEx and/or Beijing
Brookfield to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Acquisition.
The Acquisition may not be consummated or may not deliver the anticipated benefits MICT expects.
MICT is devoting substantially all of its time and resources to consummating the Acquisition; however, there can be no assurance that such activities will result in
the consummation of the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereby or that such transaction will deliver the anticipated benefits or enhance stockholder
value. MICT cannot assure you that it will complete the Acquisition in a timely manner or at all. The Merger Agreement is subject to many closing conditions and
termination rights. If the Acquisition does not occur, the MICT board of directors may elect to attempt to complete an alternative strategic transaction similar to the
Acquisition. Attempting to complete an alternative strategic transaction will be costly and time-consuming, and MICT cannot make any assurances that a future
strategic transaction will occur on terms that provide the same or greater opportunity for potential value to MICT’s stockholders, or at all. If MICT is unable to
close another strategic transaction, the MICT board of directors may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of MICT’s shares of Micronet, and distribute any
remaining cash proceeds to MICT’s stockholders. In that event, MICT would be required to pay all of its debts and contractual obligations, and to set aside certain
reserves for potential future claims, so MICT would not be able to provide any assurances as to the amount or timing of available cash or assets available for
distribution remaining to distribute to stockholders after paying its obligations and setting aside funds for reserves.
If MICT does not successfully consummate the Acquisition, or any other alternative transaction, if any, the MICT board of directors may decide to
pursue a dissolution and liquidation of MICT. In such an event, the amount of cash available for distribution to MICT’s stockholders will depend heavily
on the timing of such liquidation as well as the amount of cash that will need to be reserved for commitments and contingent liabilities.
There can be no assurance that MICT can successfully consummate the Acquisition, or any other alternative transaction. If the Acquisition, or other alternative
transaction, is not completed, the MICT board of directors may decide to pursue a dissolution and liquidation of MICT. In such an event, the amount of cash
available for distribution to MICT’s stockholders will depend heavily on the timing of such decision and, ultimately, such liquidation, because the amount of cash
available for distribution continues to decrease as MICT funds its operations. If the MICT board of directors were to approve and recommend, and MICT’s
stockholders were to approve, a dissolution and liquidation of MICT, MICT would be required under Delaware corporate law to pay MICT’s outstanding
obligations, as well as to make reasonable provision for contingent and unknown obligations, prior to making any distributions in liquidation to MICT’s
stockholders. As a result of this requirement, a portion of MICT’s assets may need to be reserved pending the resolution of such obligations. In addition, MICT
may be subject to litigation or other claims related to a dissolution and liquidation of MICT. If a dissolution and liquidation were pursued, the MICT board of
directors, in consultation with its advisors, would need to evaluate these matters and make a determination about a reasonable amount to reserve. Accordingly,
holders of MICT common stock could lose all or a significant portion of their investment in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of MICT.
8
MICT is substantially dependent on its remaining employees to facilitate the consummation of the Acquisition.
MICT’s ability to successfully complete the Acquisition, or if the Acquisition is not completed, another potential strategic transaction, depends in large part on its
ability to retain certain of its remaining personnel, particularly David Lucatz, MICT’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Micronet’s President. Despite
MICT’s efforts to retain Mr. Lucatz and other key employees, one or more may terminate their employment on short notice. The loss of the services of any of these
employees, and more specifically, Mr. Lucatz, could potentially harm MICT’s ability to complete the Acquisition, evaluate and pursue strategic alternatives, as
well as fulfill its reporting obligations as a public company.
MICT is dependent on the services of its executive officers, whose potential conflicts of interest may not permit MICT to effectively execute its business
strategy.
MICT is currently dependent on the continued services and performance of its executive officers, particularly David Lucatz, MICT’s Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and Micronet’s Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Lucatz also serves as the President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DLC,
the primary asset of which is its ownership of shares of MICT common stock. In addition, certain members of MICT’s board of directors, particularly, Darren
Mercer, the Chief Executive Officer of BNN, could have a potential conflict in carrying out his duties as a member of our board of directors.
If Micronet is unable to develop new products and maintain a qualified workforce it may not be able to meet the needs of customers in the future.
Virtually all of the products produced and sold by Micronet are highly engineered and require employees with sophisticated manufacturing and system-integration
techniques and capabilities. The markets and industry in which Micronet operates are characterized by rapidly changing technologies. The products, systems,
solutions and needs of Micronet customers change and evolve regularly. Accordingly, the future performance of Micronet depends on its ability to develop and
manufacture competitive products and solutions, and bring those products to market quickly at cost-effective prices. In addition, because of the highly specialized
nature of Micronet’s business, the hiring and retention of skilled and qualified personnel is necessary to perform the services required by customers. If Micronet is
unable to develop new products that meet customers’ changing needs or successfully attract and retain qualified personnel, its future revenues and earnings may be
adversely affected, and therefore the value of MICT’s equity interest in Micronet may be adversely affected.
Developing new technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties that may cause Micronet to incur significant costs and could have a material
adverse effect on its operating results, financial condition, and/or cash flows, and as a result thereof, adversely affect the value of our equity interest in
Micronet.
A significant portion of Micronet’s business relates to developing sophisticated products and applications. New technologies may be untested or unproven. In
addition, Micronet may incur significant liabilities that are unique to its products and services. While Micronet maintains insurance for some business risks, there is
no guarantee that the insurance policies currently in place, or as may be added from time to time, will be sufficient to cover all risks or liabilities that may be
incurred. Accordingly, Micronet may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of its products and products under development,
which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results, financial condition and/or cash flows, and therefore the value of MICT’s equity interest in
Micronet may be adversely affected.
If Micronet is unable to effectively protect proprietary technology, its business and competitive position may be harmed, which would have an adverse
effect on MICT’s business and financial position.
Micronet’s success and ability to compete is dependent on its proprietary technology. The steps Micronet has taken to protect its proprietary rights may not be
adequate and Micronet may not be able to prevent others from using its proprietary technology. The methodologies and proprietary technology that constitute the
basis of Micronet’s solutions and products are not protected by patents. Existing trade secret, copyright and trademark laws and non-disclosure agreements to
which Micronet is a party offer only limited protection. Therefore, others, including Micronet’s competitors, may develop and market similar solutions and
products, copy or reverse engineer elements of Micronet’s production lines, or engage in the unauthorized use of Micronet’s intellectual property. Any
misappropriation of Micronet’s proprietary technology or the development of competitive technology may have a significant adverse effect on Micronet’s ability to
compete and may harm the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
9
Substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to intellectual property rights may be incurred, which would have an adverse effect
on the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
Third parties may challenge the validity of Micronet’s intellectual property rights or bring claims regarding Micronet’s infringement of a third party’s intellectual
property rights. This may result in costly litigation or other time-consuming and expensive judicial or administrative proceedings, which could deprive Micronet of
valuable rights, cause them to incur substantial expenses and cause a diversion for technical and management personnel. An adverse determination may subject
Micronet to significant liabilities or require it to seek licenses that may not be available from third parties on commercially favorable terms, if at all. Further, if
such claims are proven valid, through litigation or otherwise, Micronet may be required to pay substantial financial damages or be required to discontinue or
significantly delay the development, marketing, sale or licensing of the affected products and intellectual property rights. The occurrence of any of the foregoing
could have an adverse effect on the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
Micronet’s earnings and margins may be negatively impacted if Micronet is unable to perform under its contracts.
When agreeing to contractual terms, Micronet’s management makes assumptions and projections about future conditions or events. These projections assess,
among other factors:
●
●
●
●
●
the productivity and availability of labor;
the complexity of the work to be performed;
the cost and availability of materials;
the impact of delayed performance; and
the timing of product deliveries.
If there is a significant change in one or more of these circumstances or estimates, or if faced with unexpected contract costs, the profitability of one or more of
these contracts may be adversely affected and could affect, among other things, Micronet’s earnings and margins, and in turn the value of our equity interest in
Micronet, due to the fact that Micronet’s contracts are often made on a fixed-price basis. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on
the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
Micronet’s earnings and margins could be negatively affected by deficient subcontractor performance or the unavailability of raw materials or
components.
Micronet relies on other companies to provide raw materials, major components and subsystems for its products. Subcontractors perform some of the services that
Micronet provides to its customers. Micronet depends on these subcontractors and vendors to meet contractual obligations in full compliance with customer
requirements. Occasionally, Micronet relies on only one or two sources of supply that, if disrupted, could have an adverse effect on Micronet’s ability to meet
commitments to customers. Micronet’s ability to perform its obligations as a prime contractor may be adversely affected if one or more of these suppliers is unable
to provide the agreed-upon supplies or perform the agreed-upon services in a timely and cost-effective manner. Further, deficiencies in the performance of
subcontractors and vendors could result in a customer terminating a contract for default. A termination for default could expose Micronet to liability and adversely
affect financial performance and Micronet’s ability to win new contract, and in turn, adversely affect the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
10
Micronet is dependent on major customers for a significant portion of revenues, and therefore, future revenues and earnings could be negatively
impacted by the loss or reduction of the demand for Micronet’s products or services by such customers.
A significant portion of Micronet’s MRM annual revenues is derived from a few leading customers. As of December 31, 2019, Micronet’s had three largest
customers combined accounted for approximately 74.48% of its revenues.
Most of Micronet’s major customers do not have any obligation to purchase additional products or services from it. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any
of Micronet’s leading customers will continue to purchase solutions, products or services at levels comparable to previous years. A substantial loss or reduction in
Micronet’s existing programs could adversely affect its future revenues and earnings and in turn the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
Micronet operates in a highly competitive and fragmented market and may not be able to maintain a competitive position in the future. Any such failure
to successfully compete could have a material adverse effect on the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
A number of larger competitors have recently entered the MRM market in which Micronet operates. These large companies have far greater development and
capital resources than Micronet. Further, there are competitors of Micronet that offer solutions, products and services similar to those offered by Micronet. If they
continue, these trends could undermine Micronet’s competitive strength and position and adversely affect its earnings and financial condition, which could have a
material adverse effect on the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
Micronet may cease to be eligible for, or receive reduced, tax benefits under Israeli law, which could negatively impact profits in the future.
Micronet currently receives certain tax benefits under the Israeli Law Encouragement of Capital Investments of 1959, as a result of the designation of its
production facility as an “Approved Enterprise.” To maintain its eligibility for these tax benefits, Micronet must continue to meet several conditions including,
among others, generating more than 25% of its gross revenues outside the State of Israel and continuing to qualify as an “Industrial Company” under Israeli tax
law. An Industrial Company, according to the applicable Israeli law (Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969), is a company that resides in Israel
(either incorporated in Israel or managed and controlled from Israel) that, during the relevant tax year, derives at least 90% of its income from an Industrial
Factory. An Industrial Factory means a factory that is owned by an Industrial Company and where its manufacturing operations constitute a vast majority of the
factory’s total operations/business. The tax benefits of qualifying as an Industrial Company include a reduction of the corporate tax from 24% for “Regular
Entities” and 16% or 7.5% for “Preferred Enterprises” (depending on the location of industry) in 2019. In addition, in recent years the Israeli government has
reduced the benefits available under this program and has indicated that it may further reduce or eliminate benefits in the future. There is no assurance that
Micronet will continue to qualify for these tax benefits or that such tax benefits will continue to be available. The termination or reduction of these tax benefits
would increase the amount of tax payable by Micronet and, accordingly, reduce its net profit after tax and negatively impact profits, if any, which may adversely
affect the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
11
Because almost all of MICT’s officers and directors are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, you may have no effective recourse against management for
misconduct.
Currently, a majority of MICT’s directors and officers are or will be nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial
portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained
against such officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any U.S. state.
Additionally, it may be difficult to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. securities law in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim
based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear
a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to hear the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law
must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Cost fluctuations in the global hardware and communications market and reducing production costs may have a negative impact on Micronet’s business
and operations, and as a result thereof.
Micronet’s operations are affected by global hardware prices and communication costs, which are a combined component of the technological solution offered by
Micronet to its customers or end users. Also, in order to continue to compete effectively in the target markets, Micronet must continue to streamline its production
costs and reduce them in order to enable a competitive price for its products. Micronet must compete among other manufacturers of components and / or products
from East Asia including China and India. Micronet’s ability to streamline the production process depends, among other things, on its ability to integrate
production processes in these areas, as well as to continue to locate target markets and target customers who are interested in purchasing high-end products that are
less sensitive to cost. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a negative impact on Micronet’s business and operations, and as a result thereof, adversely
affect the value of our equity interest in Micronet.
Economic changes in Micronet’s target markets may adversely impact its business, and as a result thereof, adversely affect the value of our equity
interest in Micronet.
Due to the fact that Micronet’s target markets are mainly located in North America and Europe, the lack of economic stability in such markets, such as slowdown
or changes to the demands for products or services offered by Micronet, may adversely affect its operations and results, and as a result thereof, adversely affect the
value of our equity interest in Micronet.
Micronet’s financial results may be negatively affected by foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Micronet’s revenues are mainly denominated in U.S. Dollars and costs are mainly denominated in New Israeli Shekels (NIS). Where possible, MICT matches sales
and purchases in these and other currencies to achieve a natural hedge. Currently, Micronet does not have a policy with respect to the use of derivative instruments
for hedging purposes, except that Micronet will consider engaging in such hedging activities on a case by case basis. To the extent MICT is unable to fully match
sales and purchases in different currencies, its business will be exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
Cybersecurity disruptions may impact MICT’s business operations or our efforts to complete the Merger if it becomes a target for such activities.
MICT and/or Micronet may be subject to attempted cybersecurity disruptions from a variety of threat actors. If systems for protecting against cybersecurity
disruptions prove to be insufficient, MICT and Micronet, and their customers, employees or third parties could be adversely affected. Such cybersecurity
disruptions could cause physical harm to people or the environment; damage or destroy assets; compromise business systems; result in proprietary information
being altered, lost or stolen; result in employee, customer or third party information being compromised; or otherwise disrupt business operations. Significant costs
to remedy the effects of such a cybersecurity disruption may be incurred by MICT and Micronet, as well as in connection with resulting regulatory actions and
litigation, and such disruption may harm relationships with customers and impact MICT’s and Micronet’s business reputation.
12
Micronet is subject to regulations in the United States and Europe, which if failed to be met, could negatively impact Micronet’s and our business and
reputation.
Micronet’s business is subject to certain international standards such as U.S. Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, Part 15B, FCC ID, CE and Restriction
of Hazardous Substances, or RoHS, which define compatibility of interface and telecommunications standards to those implemented in the United States by the
FCC and in Europe by the European Commission, respectively. Micronet’s solutions and products also need to comply with the E-Mark European standard, which
is the standard that defines the compatibility of interface and telecommunications to all appliances installed in and around an automobile. Micronet is exposed to
risks from regulators, arising from Micronet’s failure to comply with the aforementioned international standards, which define interface and communication
standards, compliance with the standards of the European Common Market, European Conformity, or the CE, and the requirements of the U.S. Communications
Regulatory Commission, the FCC, inclusive of the ELD mandate. If Micronet does not adhere to these international standards, Micronet may be limited in
marketing its products in such markets, and face fines and/or risks to both our and Micronet’s reputation, and which may also adversely affect our and Micronet’s
future revenues and earnings and the value of our of our equity interest in Micronet.
Risks Related to Ownership of MICT Securities
Your ability to influence corporate decisions may be limited because ownership of MICT common stock is concentrated.
As of the date, Mr. Lucatz, the MICT Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, beneficially owned 1,234,200 shares, or approximately 6.4% of MICT’s
outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Lucatz, may exercise significant control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of
directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Such concentration of ownership could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of MICT, which could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of its common stock.
Provisions in MICT’s certificate of incorporation and of Delaware corporate law could make an acquisition of MICT, which may be beneficial to its
stockholders, more difficult and may also prevent attempts by MICT stockholders to replace or remove current or future members of MICT’s
management team.
Provisions in MICT’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, and MICT’s amended and restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition
or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for MICT common
stock. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for MICT securities, thereby depressing the market price of
MICT’s securities. In addition, these provisions may frustrate, deter or prevent any attempts by MICT stockholders to replace or remove current management by
making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of the MICT board of directors. Because the board of directors is responsible for appointing the
members of the MICT management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by stockholders to replace current members of the MICT management
team.
Moreover, because MICT is incorporated in Delaware, it is governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or
the DGCL, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with MICT for a period of three years
after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a
prescribed manner. MICT has not opted out of the restrictions under Section 203.
MICT stockholders may experience significant dilution as a result of any additional financing that results in the issuance of MICT equity securities
and/or debt securities.
To the extent that additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, including through convertible debt securities, MICT stockholders may experience
significant dilution. Sales of additional equity and/or convertible debt securities at prices below certain levels will trigger anti-dilution provisions with respect to
certain securities which have been previously issued. If additional funds are raised through a credit facility, or the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock,
lenders or holders of these debt securities or preferred stock would likely have rights that are senior to the rights of holders of common stock, and any credit facility
or additional securities could contain covenants that would restrict operations.
13
The price of MICT’s common stock on Nasdaq has been in the past, and may in the future continue to be volatile, and may continue to be volatile even if
we complete the Acquisition. Volatility in the trading price of MICT’s common stock could cause purchasers of MICT’s common stock to incur
substantial losses.
The price of MICT’s common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. The market price of MICT’s common stock may be influenced by many factors,
including but not limited to the following:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
developments regarding the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereby;
announcements of developments related to MICT’s business;
quarterly fluctuations in actual or anticipated operating results;
announcements of technological innovations;
new products or product enhancements introduced by Micronet or its competitors;
developments in patents and other intellectual property rights and litigation;
developments in relationships with third party manufacturers and/or strategic partners;
developments in relationships with customers and/or suppliers;
regulatory or legal developments in the United States, Israel and other countries;
general conditions in the global economy; and
the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section.
For these reasons and others, you should consider an investment in MICT common stock as risky and invest only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide
fluctuations in the value of such investment.
A sale by MICT of a substantial number of shares of the common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for the common stock may cause the
price of the common stock to decline and may impair the ability to raise capital in the future.
MICT’s common stock is traded on Nasdaq and despite certain increases of trading volume from time to time, there have been periods when it could be considered
“thinly-traded,” meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing MICT common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may have been relatively
small or non-existent. Financing transactions resulting in a large amount of newly-issued securities, or other events that cause current stockholders to sell shares,
could place downward pressure on the trading price of MICT common stock. In addition, the lack of a robust resale market may require a stockholder who desires
to sell a large number of shares of common stock to sell those shares in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of the sales on the market price of
MICT stock. If MICT stockholders sell, or the market perceives that its stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, including the ending of restriction on resale,
substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the market price of MICT
common stock could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of MICT common stock may make it more difficult for MICT to sell equity or equity-related
securities in the future at a time and price that MICT deems reasonable or appropriate. Moreover, MICT may become involved in securities class action litigation
arising out of volatility resulting from such sales that could divert management’s attention and harm MICT’s business.
14
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports or publish unfavorable research about MICT’s business, the price of its common
stock could decline.
MICT does not currently have any significant research coverage by securities and industry analysts and may never obtain such research coverage. If securities or
industry analysts do not commence or maintain coverage of MICT, the trading price for its common stock might be negatively affected. In the event such securities
or industry analyst coverage is obtained, if one or more of the analysts who covers MICT or will cover MICT downgrades its securities, the price of MICT
common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover MICT or fails to publish regular reports on it, interest in the purchase of MICT
common stock could decrease, which could cause the price of MICT common stock and trading volume to decline.
If MICT continues to fail to meet all applicable Nasdaq requirements, Nasdaq may delist its common stock, which could have an adverse impact on its
liquidity and market price.
MICT’s common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq, which has qualitative and quantitative listing criteria. If MICT continues to be unable to comply with Nasdaq
listing requirements, including, for example, if the closing bid price for MICT common stock continues to fall below $1.00 per share, in breach of Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(a)(2), Nasdaq could determine to delist the MICT common stock which could adversely affect its market liquidity market price. In that regard, on
September 1, 2017, and again on July 22, 2019, MICT received written notice from Nasdaq indicating that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2), as the closing bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00 per share for each of the consecutive 30 business days preceding both September 1,
2017 and July 22, 2019. On both occasions, MICT was able to regain compliance by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a minimum of
10 consecutive trading days; however there can be no assurance that MICT will be able to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, or that the
common stock will not be delisted from Nasdaq in the future. Such delisting could adversely affect the ability to obtain financing for the continuation of MICT’s
operations or prevent us from completing the Acquisition or any other alternative transaction, and could result in the loss of confidence by investors, customers and
employees and cause our shareholders to incur substantial losses.
If Nasdaq delists MICT’s securities from trading on its exchange and MICT is not able to list its securities on another national securities exchange, MICT expects
its securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, MICT could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
●
●
●
●
●
a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;
reduced liquidity for its securities;
a determination that the MICT’s common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the MICT’s common stock to adhere to more
stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for MICT’s securities;
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
We did not declare or pay cash dividends in either 2018 or 2019 and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We have no dividends policy and will consider distributing dividends on a year by year basis. The payment of dividends, if any, in the future, rests within the
discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements and our financial condition, as well as other
relevant factors. There are no restrictions in our certificate of incorporation, as amended, or amended and restated bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends.
There are no assurances that we will pay dividends in the future.
Risks Related to Israeli Law and Our Operations in Israel
Potential political, economic and military instability in Israel could adversely affect our operations.
Our principal offices and one of Micronet’s operating facilities are located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly
affect our and Micronet’s operations. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its
Arab neighbors. A state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Since October 2000, there has been an
increase in hostilities between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, which has adversely affected the peace process and has negatively influenced Israel’s relationship
with its Arab citizens and several Arab countries, including the Israel-Gaza conflict. Such ongoing hostilities may hinder Israel’s international trade relations and
may limit the geographic markets where Micronet can sell its products and solutions. Hostilities involving or threatening Israel, or the interruption or curtailment of
trade between Israel and its present trading partners, could materially and adversely affect Micronet’s or our operations.
15
In addition, Israel-based companies and companies doing business with Israel have been the subject of an economic boycott by members of the Arab League and
certain other predominantly Muslim countries since Israel’s establishment. Although Israel has entered into various agreements with certain Arab countries and the
Palestinian Authority, and various declarations have been signed in connection with efforts to resolve some of the economic and political problems in the Middle
East, we cannot predict whether or in what manner these problems will be resolved. Wars and acts of terrorism have resulted in significant damage to the Israeli
economy, including reducing the level of foreign and local investment.
Furthermore, certain of our officers and employees may be obligated to perform annual reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces and are subject to being called up
for active military duty at any time. All Israeli male citizens who have served in the army are subject to an obligation to perform reserve duty until they are
between 40 and 49 years old, depending upon the nature of their military service.
Under current Israeli law, the Company and Micronet may not be able to enforce our respective Israeli employees’ covenants not to compete and
therefore may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise of some of our respective former employees.
Previously, the Company and Micronet entered, and the Company and Micronet may plan in the future to enter into, non-competition agreements with our key
employees, in most cases within the framework of their employment agreements. These agreements prohibit our key employees, if they cease working for us, from
competing directly with us or working for our competitors for a limited period. Under applicable Israeli law, the Company and Micronet may be unable to enforce
these agreements or any part thereof against our Israeli employees. If the Company and Micronet cannot enforce its non- competition agreements against their
respective Israeli employees, then the Company and Micronet may be unable to prevent their competitors from benefiting from the expertise of these former
employees, which could impair the Company’s business, results of operations and ability to capitalize on Micronet’s proprietary information.
Micronet may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result in
litigation and harm our business.
A significant portion of the intellectual property covered by Micronet’s products has been developed by Micronet’s employees in the course of their employment
for Micronet. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, or the Patent Law, and recent decisions by the Israeli Supreme Court and the Israeli Compensation and
Royalties Committee, a body constituted under the Patent Law, Israeli employees may be entitled to remuneration for intellectual property that they develop for us
unless they explicitly waive any such rights. To the extent that Micronet is unable to enter into agreements with its future employees pursuant to which they agree
that any inventions created in the scope of their employment or engagement are owned exclusively by Micronet (as it has done in the past), Micronet may face
claims demanding remuneration. As a consequence of such claims, Micronet could be required to pay additional remuneration or royalties to its current and former
employees, or be forced to litigate such claims, which could negatively affect its own and our business.
The Israeli identity of certain of Micronet’s products may adversely affect its ability to sell its products and/or solutions.
The sale of Micronet’s products is affected in certain countries and may be affected in other countries by the international status of the State of Israel. Israeli
identity may be used in some cases for promoting sales (in light of the recognition of the technological advantages that exist in Israel) whereas in other cases and is
likely to continue to be a disadvantage and result in the cancellation of transactions.
16
Provisions of Israeli law and Micronet’s amended and restated articles of association may delay, prevent or otherwise impede a merger with, or an
acquisition of, our company, which could prevent a change of control, even when the terms of such a transaction are favorable to Micronet and its
shareholders.
As a company incorporated under the law of the State of Israel, Micronet is subject to Israeli corporate law. Israeli corporate law regulates mergers, requires tender
offers for acquisitions of shares above specified thresholds, requires special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers or significant shareholders and
regulates other matters that may be relevant to such types of transactions. For example, a merger may not be consummated unless at least 50 days have passed from
the date on which a merger proposal is filed by each merging company with the Israel Registrar of Companies and at least 30 days have passed from the date on
which the shareholders of both merging companies have approved the merger. In addition, a majority of each class of securities of the target company must
approve a merger. Moreover, a tender offer for all of a company’s issued and outstanding shares can only be completed if the acquirer receives positive responses
from the holders of at least 95% of the issued share capital. Completion of the tender offer also requires approval of and a majority of the offerees that do not have
a personal interest in the tender offer approves the tender offer, unless, following consummation of the tender offer, the acquirer would hold at least 98% of the
company’s outstanding shares. Furthermore, the shareholders, including those who indicated their acceptance of the tender offer, may, at any time within six
months following the completion of the tender offer, claim that the consideration for the acquisition of the shares does not reflect their fair market value, and
petition an Israeli court to alter the consideration for the acquisition, unless accordingly, other than those who indicated their acceptance of the tender offer in case
the acquirer stipulated in its tender offer that a shareholder that accepts the offer may not seek such appraisal rights., and the acquirer or the company published all
required information with respect to the tender offer prior to the tender offer’s response date.
Furthermore, Israeli tax considerations may make potential transactions unappealing to Micronet or to its shareholders whose country of residence does not have a
tax treaty with Israel exempting such shareholders from Israeli tax.
Micronet’s amended and restated articles of association also contain provisions that could delay or prevent changes in control or changes in its management
without the consent of its board of directors. These provisions include the following:
●
●
no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority shareholders to elect director candidates; and
the right of Micronet’s board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or
removal of a director, which may prevent shareholders from being able to fill vacancies on its board of directors.
Micronet’s operations may be disrupted as a result of the obligation of management or key personnel to perform military service.
Micronet’s employees and consultants in Israel, including members of its senior management, may be obligated to perform one month, and in some cases longer
periods, of military reserve duty until they reach the age of 40 (or older, for citizens who hold certain positions in the Israeli armed forces reserves) and, in the
event of a military conflict or emergency circumstances, may be called to immediate and unlimited active duty. In the event of severe unrest or other conflict,
individuals could be required to serve in the military for extended periods of time. In response to increases in terrorist activity, there have been periods of
significant call-ups of military reservists. It is possible that there will be similar large-scale military reserve duty call-ups in the future. Micronet’s operations could
be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of our officers, directors, employees and consultants related to military service. Such disruption could
materially adversely affect Micronet’s business and operations.
17
Risks Related to the Acquisition and the Business of the Post-Acquisition Entity
The combined entity may be unable to successfully execute its growth strategy.
One of the combined entity’s strategies is to pursue organic growth by increasing product offerings, expanding into new verticals and new markets such as China.
The combined entity also intends to continue to expand and upgrade the reliability and scalability of the PaaS offering and other aspects of its proprietary
technology. The combined entity may not be able to successfully execute all or any of these initiatives, and the results may vary from the expectations of the
combined entity or others. Further, even if these initiatives are successful, the combined entity may not be able to expand and upgrade its technology systems and
infrastructure to accommodate increases in the business activity in a timely manner, which could lead to operational breakdowns and delays, loss of customers, a
reduction in the growth of its customer base, increased operating expenses, financial losses, increased litigation or customer claims, regulatory sanctions or
increased regulatory scrutiny. In addition, the combined entity will need to continue to attract, hire and retain highly skilled and motivated executives and
employees to both execute the growth strategy and to manage the resulting growth effectively.
The combined entity may be unable to integrate the businesses of ParagonEx and Beijing Brookfield successfully.
ParagonEx and Beijing Brookfield are independent companies that have never operated as a combined entity before. Until now, each of ParagonEx and Beijing
Brookfield has pursued its own separate businesses in different geographic locations. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the combined entity will need to
integrate the operations of these two companies that currently operate in different industries and geographic locations into a single operation. Although we believe
the business of ParagonEx and Beijing Brookfield are complementary and there will be synergies from the integration of the two companies, we cannot assure you
that the Acquisition will produce the expected or intended results. The failure to address problems encountered in connection with such integration could cause the
combined entity to fail to realize the anticipated benefits or incur unanticipated liabilities, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on the business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the combined entity, which could negatively impact its stock price.
The combined entity’s acquisition strategy may result in significant transaction expenses, integration and consolidation risks and risks associated with
entering new markets, and the combined entity may not operate profitably.
One of the combined entity’s strategies is to pursue growth through acquisitions of smaller players in the industry. Such acquisitions involve significant transaction
expenses, including, but not limited to, fees paid to legal, financial, tax and accounting advisors, filing fees and printing costs. Acquisitions also present risks
associated with offering new products or entering new markets and integrating the acquired companies.
18
Other areas where the combined entity may face risks include:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
diversion of management time and focus from operating the business of the combined entity to address challenges that may arise in integrating the
acquired business;
transition of operations, users and user accounts onto existing platforms or onto platforms of the acquired company;
failure to successfully further develop the acquired business;
failure to realize anticipated operational or financial synergies;
implementation or remediation of controls, procedures, and policies at the acquired company;
the need to integrate operations across different cultures and languages and to address the particular economic, currency, political, and regulatory risks
associated with specific countries;
liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, such as violations of laws and regulatory requirements, commercial disputes, tax
liabilities, infringement of third-party rights in intellectual property and other known and unknown liabilities; and
integration of the acquired business’ accounting, human resource and other administrative systems, and coordination of trading and sales and marketing
functions.
Future acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of the equity securities of the combined entity, the incurrence of debt, amortization expenses, impairment
of goodwill and purchased long-lived assets, and restructuring charges, any of which could harm the financial condition or results of operations and cash flows of
the combined entity. Additionally, any new businesses that may be acquired by the combined entity, once integrated with the existing operations, may not produce
expected or intended results. The failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with future acquisitions could cause the combined
entity to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions or incur unanticipated liabilities, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on the
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the combined entity.
None of GFH, Beijing Brookfield or ParagonEx have any formal risk management policies or procedures and those applied by them may not be effective
and may leave them exposed to unidentified or unexpected risks.
GFH, Beijing Brookfield and ParagonEx are dependent on the professional expertise and experience of their management and staff to assess risks. GFH, Beijing
Brookfield and ParagonEx do not have any formal written policies or procedures for identifying, monitoring or controlling risks, including risks related to human
error, customer defaults, market movements, technology, fraud or money-laundering, and such risks are evaluated by their respective management teams and
boards of directors on an ad-hoc basis. Such practices and methods used by GFH, Beijing Brookfield and ParagonEx for managing risk are discretionary by nature
and are based on internally developed controls and observed historical market behavior, and also involve reliance on standard industry practices. These methods
may not adequately prevent losses, particularly as they relate to extreme market movements, which may be significantly greater than historical fluctuations in the
market. The risk-management methods utilized by GFH, Beijing Brookfield and ParagonEx also may not adequately prevent losses due to technical errors if their
testing and quality control practices are not effective in preventing failures. In addition, GFH, Beijing Brookfield and ParagonEx may elect to adjust their risk-
management policies to allow for an increase in risk tolerance, which could expose it to the risk of greater losses. The risk-management methods used by GFH,
Beijing Brookfield and ParagonEx rely on a combination of technical and human controls and supervision that are subject to error and failure. These methods may
not protect GFH, Beijing Brookfield and ParagonEx against all risks or may protect them less than anticipated, in which case the business, financial condition and
results of operations and cash flows of GFH, Beijing Brookfield and ParagonEx may be materially adversely affected.
19
MICT shareholders may be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of Beijing Brookfield’s and ParagonEx’s operations and the business of these
companies are outside of MICT management’s area of expertise.
To the extent we complete the Acquisition, we will be affected by numerous risks inherent in both Beijing Brookfield’s and ParagonEx’s business operations.
Furthermore, after completion of the Acquisition, the business of GFH will be entirely different from MICT’s business. Although MICT’s management has
endeavored to evaluate the risks inherent in the proposed Merger, MICT cannot assure you that it can adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk
factors.
Subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition, MICT may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other
charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your
investment.
MICT cannot assure you that the due diligence MICT has conducted on GFH, and its subsidiaries Beijing Brookfield and ParagonEx has revealed all material
issues that may be present with regard to such companies, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence
or that risks outside of MICT’s control will not later arise. Each of GFH, Beijing Brookfield and ParagonEx are privately held companies and MICT therefore has
made its decision to pursue the Acquisition on the basis of limited information, which may result in a business combination that is not as profitable as expected, if
at all. As a result of these factors, MICT may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that
could result in reporting losses. Even if MICT’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may
materialize in a manner not consistent with MICT’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate
impact on MICT’s liquidity, the fact that MICT reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about MICT or MICT’s securities.
Accordingly, we cannot predict the impact that the Acquisition will have on GFH’s securities.
Furthermore, the Acquisition Agreement by which MICT will be acquiring GFH stipulates that all representations and warranties provided by GFH with regard to
its businesses, will expire upon completion of the acquisition. Consequently, MICT will be limited in its ability to pursue a claim against GFH for breach of any of
its representations and warranties that are discovered after the completion date, unless MICT is able to prove that such breach amounted to fraudulent
misrepresentation or resulted from a similar act of malicious intent.
MICT’s ability to be successful following the Acquisition will be dependent upon the efforts of the MICT Board and key personnel and the loss of such
persons could negatively impact the operations and profitability of MICT’s post-combination business.
MICT’s ability to be successful following the Acquisition will be dependent upon the efforts of the MICT Board and key personnel. Furthermore, the business of
MICT following the Acquisition will be made up mostly of GFH’s business, and will be entirely different from MICT’s current business. It is only contemplated
that two of MICT’s existing directors will serve on the MICT board of directors for a limited period of time, and MICT cannot assure you that MICT’s board of
directors and key personnel will be effective or successful or remain with MICT. In addition to the other challenges they will face, the new members of MICT’s
board of directors, other than the MICT continuing directors, may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company, which could cause MICT’s
management to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.
It is estimated that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MICT’s current public stockholders will only own a minimal interest of MICT. Accordingly, the future
performance of MICT will depend upon the quality of the post-Merger board of directors, management and key personnel of MICT and the MICT’s ability to
retain such managers and key personnel over time.
Failure to complete the Acquisition could harm the price of MICT’s common stock and the future business and operations of each company.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated and the board of directors of the respective parties determine to seek another business combination, there can be no
assurance that either MICT or GFH will be able to find a partner willing to provide equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration to be
provided in connection with the Acquisition.
20
Some of MICT’s officers and directors have interests in the Acquisition that are different from yours and that may influence them to support or approve
the Merger without regard to your interests.
Certain officers and directors of MICT, like those of other companies, participate in compensation arrangements that provide them with interests in the Acquisition
that are different from yours, including, among others, the continued service as an officer or director of the combined organization for some limited period of time,
severance benefits and the potential ability to sell an increased number of shares of common stock of the combined organization in accordance with Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. For example, such officers and directors may receive compensation for their services generally, as
well as in connection with the Acquisition, and subject to and upon the consummation of the Acquisition, MICT will issue to our former director, Miki Balin, and
two of our current directors, Chezy (Yehezkel) Ofir and Jeffrey P. Bialos, including our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Lucatz, 300,000 options to purchase
MICT common stock (1,200,000 options in the aggregate) with an exercise price equal to $1.41, which shall be granted as success bonuses under MICT’s existing
stock incentive plans or under GFH’s 2019 equity plan (including the 2019 Israeli sub-plan) and which shall be, converted into certain replacement stock options of
MICT.
The securityholders of MICT will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in, and will exercise less influence over the management of, the combined
organization following the completion of the Acquisitions as compared to their current ownership and voting interests in MICT.
After the completion of the Acquisition, the current stockholders of MICT will own a smaller percentage of the combined organization than their ownership of
their respective companies prior to the Transactions. Immediately after the closing of the Acquisition, it is anticipated that MICT stockholders will own
approximately 7.64% of the common stock of the combined organization and GFH stockholder will own approximately 75.76% of the common stock of MICT.
These estimates are subject to adjustment.
During the pendency of the Acquisition, MICT and GFH may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party at a favorable price
because of restrictions in the Merger Agreement, which could adversely affect their respective businesses.
Covenants in the Merger Agreement impede the ability of MICT and GFH to make acquisitions, subject to certain exceptions relating to fiduciary duties, as set
forth below, or to complete other transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business pending completion of the Acquisition. As a result, if the Acquisition
is not completed, the parties may be at a disadvantage to their competitors during such period. In addition, while the Merger Agreement is in effect, each party is
generally prohibited during the interim period from soliciting, initiating, encouraging or entering into certain extraordinary transactions, such as merger, sale of
assets or other business combination outside the ordinary course of business with any third party, subject to certain exceptions relating to fiduciary duties, as set
forth below. Any such transactions could be favorable to such party’s stockholders.
Certain provisions of the Merger Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may
be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The terms of the Merger Agreement prohibit each of MICT and GFH from soliciting alternative takeover proposals or cooperating with persons making unsolicited
takeover proposals, except, in the case of MICT, in the limited circumstances when its board of directors determines in good faith that an unsolicited alternative
takeover proposal is or is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the board of directors’ fiduciary duties.
21
The market price of MICT’s common stock is expected to be volatile, and the market price of the common stock may drop following the Acquisition.
The market price of MICT’s common stock following the Acquisition could be subject to significant fluctuations. Some of the factors that may cause the market
price of MICT’s common stock to fluctuate include:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
changes in laws or regulations applicable to MICT’s business and operations;
introduction of new products, services or technologies by MICT’s competitors;
failure to meet or exceed financial and development projections MICT may provide to the public;
failure to meet or exceed the financial and development projections of the investment community;
announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic collaborations, joint ventures or capital commitments by MICT or its competitors;
additions or departures of key personnel;
significant lawsuits, including patent or stockholder litigation;
if securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about MICT’s business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinions regarding its
business and stock;
general market or macroeconomic conditions;
sales of its common stock by MICT or its shareholders in the future;
trading volume of MICT’s common stock; and
period-to-period fluctuations in MICT’s financial results
Moreover, the stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies.
These broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of MICT’s common stock.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against
those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly
harm MICT’s profitability and reputation.
An active market for MICT’s common stock may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of MICT’s common stock.
The price of MICT’s common stock may vary significantly due to factors specific to MICT as well as to general market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an
active trading market for MICT’s common stock may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a
market can be established and sustained.
22
The market price of MICT’s common stock may decline as a result of the Acquisition.
The market price of MICT’s common stock may decline as a result of the Acquisition for a number of reasons including if:
●
●
investors react negatively to the prospects of MICT’s business and the prospects of the Acquisition;
the effect of the Acquisition on MICT’s business and prospects is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts; or
● MICT does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts.
MICT’s stockholders may not realize a benefit from the Acquisition commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with
the Merger.
If MICT is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Acquisition, MICT’s stockholders will have experienced
substantial dilution of their ownership interests in MICT without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the
extent MICT is able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.
Following the Acquisition, if securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about MICT, its business, or its
market, or if they change their recommendations regarding MICT common stock adversely, the price and trading volume of the MICT common stock
could decline.
The trading market for MICT’s common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about MICT, its
business, its market, or its competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on MICT. If no securities or industry
analysts commence coverage of MICT, MICT’s stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover MICT
change their recommendation regarding MICT’s share adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of the
MICT’s common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may currently cover MICT were to cease coverage of MICT or fail to regularly publish reports on
it, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause MICT’s stock price or trading volume to decline.
Future sales of shares by stockholders could cause MICT’s stock price to decline.
If stockholders of MICT sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of MICT’s common stock in the public market after legal restrictions on resale
discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K lapse, the trading price of MICT’s common stock could decline. Based on shares outstanding as of the date of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, and shares expected to be issued upon completion of the Acquisition, MICT is expected to have outstanding a total of approximately
145,130,577 shares of common stock immediately following the completion of the Acquisition. Of such shares, all of the shares being issued to GFH pursuant to
the Merger Agreement, which shall be subject to a lock-up agreement for a period of twelve (12) months following the closing of the Acquisition, shall become
available for sale. All other outstanding shares of common stock will be freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market. If these shares are sold, the
trading price of MICT’s common stock shares could decline.
Risks related to recent and potential changes to regulatory legislation in the British Virgin Islands could lead to increased costs of GFH in complying with
additional regulatory and reporting requirements.
As the global regulatory and tax environment evolves, GFH may be subject to new or different statutory and regulatory requirements (for example, on January 1,
2019 the Economic Substance (Companies and Limited Partnerships) Act, 2018 of the British Virgin Islands (the “Economic Substance Act”) came into force and
related regulations and guidance are anticipated in due course). It is difficult to predict what impact the adoption of these laws or regulations, or changes in the
interpretation of existing laws or regulations could have on GFH, however, compliance with various additional obligations may create significant additional costs
that may be borne by GFH or otherwise affect the management and operation of GFH.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not applicable.
Item 2.
Properties.
We currently maintain office space in Herzliya, Israel.
The Company has terminated the lease and it shall be terminated effectively on March 2020. We have engaged in an alternative lease agreement for nearby offices
in Herzliya as well. Under the new lease we are sharing certain office space with Micronet (under a sub-lease) and we are currently occupying 25% of the space
and approximately 1,092 square feet and our monthly rent obligation is approximately $2,337 (25% of the total rent, paid on a pro rata basis).
Item 3.
Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become subject to litigation incidental to our business.
In March 2017, MICT entered into an Investment Banking Agreement, or the Sunrise Agreement, with Sunrise Securities LLC and Trump Securities LLC, or
collectively, Sunrise, through Sunrise’s principal, Amnon Mandelbaum, pursuant to which Sunrise agreed to assist MICT in identifying, analyzing, structuring, and
negotiating suitable business opportunities, such as a sale of stock or assets, merger, tender offer, joint venture, financing arrangement, private placement, or any
similar transaction or combination thereof. The parties initially disagreed as to the amount of the fee that would be payable upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. There are also questions about the applicability of the Sunrise Agreement to the Acquisition, and it is thus not clear
whether or not Sunrise shall be owed any transaction fee upon the closing of the Acquisition. There can be no assurance that a settlement will be reached with
respect to this disagreement.
If Sunrise asserts a claim for fees and a settlement is not reached, it could result in litigation or other legal proceedings, which may cause MICT and/or GFH
(which, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shall be responsible for the settlement and payment of any claims brought under the Sunrise Agreement) to incur
substantial costs defending such dispute, and which could delay the closing of the Acquisition or result in the termination of the Merger Agreement.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

PART II
Market Information
Our shares of common stock are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “MICT.”
Holders
As of February 18, 2020, we had 11,089,532 shares of common stock outstanding and such shares were held by 15 stockholders of record. Because some of the
shares of our common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders
represented by these record holders.
Dividends
We did not declare or pay cash dividends in either 2018 or 2019 and currently do not plan to declare dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable
future. We have no dividends policy and will consider distributing dividends on a year by year basis. We expect to retain our future earnings, if any, for use in the
operation and expansion of our business. Subject to the foregoing, the payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of
directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, our overall financial condition and any other factors deemed relevant by our
board of directors.

Overview
MICT Inc., or we or the Company, was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 31, 2002. On March 14, 2013, the Company changed its corporate name
from Lapis Technologies, Inc. to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. On July 13, 2018, following the sale of its former subsidiary Enertec Systems Ltd., the
Company changed the Company name from Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. to MICT, Inc. Our shares have been listed for trade on the Nasdaq Capital
Market, or Nasdaq, since April 29, 2013.
The Company’s business relates to its ownership interest in Micronet, a former consolidated subsidiary, formed and based in Israel, in which the Company
previously held a majority ownership interest that has since been diluted to a minority ownership interest.
25
As of December 31, 2019, the Company held 30.48% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr.
David Lucatz, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, it held 37.79% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. Micronet operates in the
growing commercial MRM market and video analytics device market. Micronet through both its Israeli and U.S. operational offices, designs, develops,
manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with computing solutions in challenging work
environments. Micronet’s vehicle portable tablets increase workforce productivity and enhance corporate efficiency by offering computing power and
communication capabilities that provide fleet operators with visibility into vehicle location, fuel usage, speed and mileage. Furthermore, users are able to manage
the drivers in various aspects, such as: driver behavior, driver identification, reporting hours worked, customer/organization working procedures and protocols,
route management and navigation based on tasks and time schedule. End users may also receive real time messages for various services such as pickup and
delivery, repair and maintenance, status reports, alerts, notices relating to the start and ending of work, digital forms, issuing and printing of invoices and payments.
Through its SmartHub product, Micronet provides its consumers with services such as driver recognition, identifying and preventing driver fatigue, recognizing
driver behavior, preventive maintenance, fuel efficiency and an advanced driver assistance system. In addition, Micronet provides third party telematics service
providers, or TSPs, a platform to offer services such as “Hours of Service.” Micronet previously commenced and continues to evaluate integration with other TSPs.
Micronet is currently entering the video analytics device market by developing an all in-one video telematics device known as Micronet SmartCam. Micronet
SmartCam technologically is based on the powerful flexible Android platform, is expected to be a ruggedized, integrated, and ready-to-go smart camera supporting
complete telematics features designed for in-vehicle use. Coupled with vehicle-connected interfaces, state of the art diagnostic capabilities, and two cameras, it
offers video analytics and telematics services, addressing safety, vehicle health, and tracking needs of commercial fleets. We believe that Micronet SmartCam
provides a versatile, advanced, and affordable mobile computing platform for a variety of fleet management and video analytics solutions. The powerful computing
platform, coupled with the Android 9 operating system, allows the company customers to run their applications or pick and choose a set of applications and
services from Micronet marketplace. Micronet’s customers consist primarily of application service providers, or ASPs, and solution providers specializing in the
MRM market. These companies sell Micronet’s products as part of their MRM systems and solutions. Currently, Micronet does not sell directly to end users.
Micronet customers are generally MRM solution and service providers, ASP providers in the transportation market, including long haul, local fleets’ student
transportation (yellow busses) and fleet and field management systems for construction and heavy equipment. Micronet products are used by customers worldwide.
Acquisition Agreement with BNN Technology PLC
On December 18, 2018, we, GFH, Merger Sub, BNN, BI China, ParagonEx, certain holders of ParagonEx’s outstanding ordinary shares and a trustee thereof, and
Mark Gershinson, in the capacity as the representative of the ParagonEx sellers, entered into the Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things,
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company, as a result of

In furtherance of the Transactions, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Acquisition Agreement, BNN agreed to commence the Offer

that none of the shares of our common stock are purchased by BNN in connection with the Offer, our stockholders would own approximately 5.27% of GFH after
giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement.
26
On May 31, 2019, we terminated the spin-off of Micronet and in June 2019, the Offer was terminated. Effective November 7, 2019, the Parties entered into the
Termination Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the Acquisition Agreement, effective immediately.
Merger Agreement with GFH

deliverable at the closing of the share exchange.
After giving effect to the Acquisition, the conversion of the Convertible Debentures and the conversion or exercise of the securities issued by MICT pursuant to the
Offering of the Preferred Stock and Warrants and the Offering of Convertible Note and Warrants, it is expected that MICT will have approximately $15.0 million
of cash as well as ownership of ParagonEx and Beijing Brookfield and that MICT’s current stockholders will own approximately 11,089,532 shares, or 7.64%, of
the 145,130,577 shares of MICT common stock outstanding.
Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, approval by the
stockholders of MICT and receipt of a fairness opinion indicating that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to the stockholders of
MICT. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Intermediate. The Merger Agreement also contains customary
representations, warranties and covenants made by, among others, MICT, Intermediate and Merger Sub, including as to the conduct of their respective businesses
(as applicable) between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Merger Agreement provides that all options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that are outstanding and unexercised shall be accelerated in
full effective as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition. The options shall survive the closing of the Acquisition for a period of 15 months
from the date of the closing of the Acquisition and all equity incentive plans of the Company shall remain in effect.
Consummation of the Merger Agreement is subject to various conditions, including the following mutual conditions of the parties unless waived: (i) the approval

or election of the members of the post-Closing MICT board of directors as agreed, and (viii) the filing of the definitive proxy statement with the SEC.
In addition, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated after the closing of the Beijing Brookfield Acquisition or the
ParagonEx Acquisition, as the case may be, or if the Acquisition does not close by the outside date set forth in the Merger Agreement, the transactions
contemplated by the Beijing Brookfield Share Exchange Agreement and the ParagonEx Share Exchange Agreement, may be unwound. In the event of an
unwinding of such acquisitions, GFH will return the Beijing Brookfield shares to BI Interactive and the ParagonEx shares to the Paragon Ex Sellers and in turn BI
Interactive and the ParagonEx Sellers will return the shares of Global Fintech received in the applicable share exchange.
27
Voting Agreement. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, DLC, an entity affiliated with David Lucatz, the President and Chief
Executive Officer of MICT, entered into the Voting Agreement, pursuant to which, during the term of such agreement, DLC has agreed to vote all of its capital

other reasons, upon the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and March 31, 2020.
Offering of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants
On June 4, 2019, we entered into the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement with the Preferred Purchasers, subject to approval by the Nasdaq Stock Market for

Preferred Warrants to purchase up to 4,772,727 shares of common stock (representing 75% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock into which the
Preferred Stock shall be convertible), for aggregate gross proceeds of $7 million to us. The terms of the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement were approved by
Nasdaq Stock Market in July 2019 and as a result the company issued the preferred stock along with the warrants.
The Preferred Stock shall be convertible into common stock at the option of each holder of Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time, at a conversion price
of $1.10 per share and shall also convert automatically upon the occurrence of certain events, including the completion by us of a fundamental transaction.
Commencing on March 31, 2020, cumulative cash dividends shall become payable on the Preferred Stock at the rate per share of 7% per annum, which rate shall
increase to 14% per annum on June 30, 2020. We shall also have the option to redeem some or all of the Preferred Stock, at any time and from time to time,
beginning on December 31, 2019. The holders of Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of common stock as a single class on as-converted basis, and
the holders of Preferred Stock holding a majority-in-interest of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to appoint the Preferred Director. The Preferred Securities
Purchase Agreement provides for customary registration rights.
The Preferred Warrants shall have an exercise price of $1.01 (subject to customary adjustment in the event of future stock dividends, splits and the like), which is
above the average price of the common stock during the preceding five trading days of entry into the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, and shall be
exercisable immediately, until the earlier of (i) two years from the date of issuance or (ii) the later of (a) 180 days after the closing by the Company of a change of
control transaction, or (b) the company’s next debt or equity financing of at least $20 million.

applicable conversion ratio of $1.10 per share), shall be sold together with certain the Note Warrants to purchase up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock
(representing 100% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible). The Convertible Notes shall have a
duration of two (2) years.
The Convertible Notes shall be convertible into common stock at the option of the Note Purchaser at any time and from time to time, and upon the issuance of one
or more Convertible Notes. Darren Mercer, the Chief Executive Officer of BNN, was appointed to the Company’s board of directors as the Note Director. The
Note Purchase Agreement provides for customary registration rights. The terms of the note purchase agreement were approved by Nasdaq Stock Market in July
2019 and as a result the company issued the convertible notes along with the warrants.
28
The Note Warrants shall have an exercise price of $1.01 (subject to customary adjustment in the event of future stock dividends, splits and the like), and shall be

Purchasers agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Primary Purchase Agreement, to purchase from us the Primary Convertible

satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Non-Primary Purchase Agreement, to purchase from us the Non-Primary Convertible Debentures with an

Impairment of Micronet Investment
On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%,
and our current voting interest in Micronet stands at 37.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet.
The Company recorded an impairment of its investment in Micronet and change in fair value in loan to Micronet as of December 31, 2019 in the total amount of
$281.
The method used for determining fair value of the investment in Micronet was based on a quoted market price on the TASE.
While Micronet is a publicly traded company in Israel, its shareholder base is widely spread and we continue to be Micronet’s largest shareholder, as of September
5, 2019 maintaining a voting interest of 37.79% of its issued and outstanding shares as of September 5, 2019. We believe that since most items that may require
shareholder approval required majority consent, we exert a high level of influence over such voting matters which may include the appointment and removal of
directors. In that regard, to date, we have appointed a majority of the directors of Micronet’s board of directors.
Based on the above, although we are unable to fully consolidate Micronet’s financial statements according to accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, we also do not consider Micronet to be a discontinued operation since we consider ourselves in effective control of
Micronet and the raising of equity by Micronet that diluted our interests was done in order to continue its operations. While Micronet is a publicly traded company
in Israel, its shareholder base is widely spread and we continue to be Micronet’s largest shareholder, maintaining a voting interest of 30.48% of its issued and
outstanding shares. We believe that since most items that may require shareholder approval required majority consent, we exert a high level of influence over such
voting matters which may include the appointment and removal of directors. In that regard, to date, we have appointed a majority of the directors of Micronet’s

order to continue its operations.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $477,000, compared to $14,162,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of
$13,685,000, or 97%, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 is primarily due to the dilution in our
ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from
February 24, 2019, as well as a decrease in customer orders, and their value, a trend that has continued from the year ended December 31, 2018.
Gross loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $3,879,000 to $369,000, and represents 77% of the revenues. This is in comparison to gross profit
of $3,510,000, or 25% of the revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in gross loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 is mainly a result
of the deconsolidation of Micronet as well as the decrease in revenues and slow inventory reduction at Micronet for the two month period that Micronet was
consolidated.
30
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing costs are part of operating expenses. Selling and marketing costs for year ended December 31, 2019 were $198,000, compared to $1,582,000
for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of $1,384,000, or 87%, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is mainly due to the
dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from
February 24, 2019 as well as a decrease in salary expenses due to the reduction of employees and subcontractors at Micronet.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs are part of operating expenses. General and administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $3,027,000,
compared to $6,345,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of $3,318,000, or 52%, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The
decrease is mainly the result of the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our
financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019 as well as decreases in wages and professional services at Micronet and partially offset by (1) an
increase associated with the issuance of options and shares to directors, employees and consultants, and (2) a provision for doubtful debts (3) transactions fees.
Impairment of Goodwill
Previously the goodwill was recorded at Micronet. The goodwill impairment test was conducted in two steps. In the first step, Micronet determines the fair value of
the reporting unit. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the Micronet would then perform the second step of the impairment test, which
requires the allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value of all its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to acquisition cost allocation, with any residual fair value
being allocated to goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is then compared to the carrying value to determine impairment, if any.
Micronet has one operating segment and one operating unit related to its product offerings in the MRM market As of December 31, 2018, Micronet’s market
capitalization was significantly lower than the net book value of the reporting unit. In establishing the appropriate market capitalization, the Micronet looked at the
date that the annual impairment test is performed (December 31, 2018). In order to calculate its market capitalization, Micronet used the price per share of NIS
0.46. Following the results of the step one test, Micronet continued to the second step, which was performed by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its
assets and liabilities, with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. Micronet determined that the carrying value of goodwill should be impaired and
therefore an impairment of $1.466 million was recorded.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are part of operating expenses. Research and development costs, which mainly include wages, materials and sub-contractors, for
the year ended December 31, 2019, were $255,000, compared to $1,906,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of $1,651,000, or
87%, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2019 is primarily a result of the
dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from
February 24, 2019 as well as a decrease in salary expenses due to a decrease in the number of employees at Micronet.
31
Loss from Operations
Our loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $3,869,000, compared to loss from operations of $9,087,000, for the year ended December 31,
2018. The decrease in loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 is mainly a result of the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in
Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019.
Financial Expenses, net
Financial expenses, net for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $388,000, compared to expenses of $1,267,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This
represents a decrease of $879,000, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in financial expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 is primarily
due to changes in currency exchange rates and the fact that we fully repaid our bank loan and debt that was outstanding to YA II PN, Ltd., or YA, in 2019.
Net Profit/Loss Attributed to MICT, Inc.
Our net loss attributed to MICT, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $4,217,000, compared to a net loss of $2,610,000 for the year ended December 31,
2018. This represents an increase in net loss of $1,607,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to 2018. The increase in net loss is primarily
attributable to the closing of the sale of all of Enertec’s outstanding equity to Coolisys pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement and as a result of the
dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from
February 24, 2019.
Discontinued Operation
As a result of the sale of Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., or Enertec, our subsidiary, to Coolisys, we classified Enertec’s assets and liabilities as held for sale and the
results of operations in the statement of operations and prior periods’ results have been reclassified as a discontinued operation. Enertec’s net loss decreased from
$4,901,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, to a net profit of $4,894,000 for the five months ended May 22, 2018. The net loss for the five months ended
May 22, 2018 was partially offset by the $6,844,000 capital gain realized from such sale, resulting in a net profit of $4,894,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2019, our total cash and cash equivalents balance was $3,154,000, as compared to $2,174,000 as of December 31, 2018. This reflects an
increase of $980,000 in cash and cash equivalents for the reasons described below.
Sales of our Securities
On June 4, 2019, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 3,181,818 shares of Preferred Stock
with a stated value of $2.20 per share. The Preferred Stock, which shall be convertible into up to 6,363,636 shares of common stock of the Company, was sold
together with the Preferred Warrants, to purchase up to 4,772,727 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $7 million to the Company.
Concurrently with the offering of the Preferred Stock, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Note Purchase Agreement, with BNN,

option in certain instances, in shares of Common Stock. We may not voluntarily prepay any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures without
the prior written consent of the Purchasers.
Subject to stockholder approval of the Convertible Debenture Offering, the Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into common stock at the option of the
Purchasers at any time and from time to time. Upon the closing of the Acquisition and written notice of the Company to the Purchasers, the Forced Conversion

Acquisition on or prior to November 18, 2019, if the Forced Conversion does not occur on or before January 24, 2020, or if there are certain breaches of the
Primary Purchasers’ Registration Rights Agreement, the Primary Purchasers are permitted to require us to redeem the Primary Convertible Debentures, including
any interest that has accrued thereunder, for cash.
The Purchase Agreements provide for customary registration rights, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, which was to be entered into at the time of the
closing of the Convertible Debenture Offering. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be obligated to, among other things, (i) file a
registration statement with the SEC within seven business days following the filing of an initial proxy statement with respect to the Acquisition, but no later than
November 27, 2019, for purposes of registering the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures and (ii) use its best efforts
to cause the resale registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than January 24, 2020. The
Registration Rights Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including certain customary cash penalties on the Company
for its failure to satisfy the specified filing and effectiveness time periods.
On November 12, 2019, the Company filed an Amended Certificate of Designation of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations with the Secretary of State of
Delaware to remove the prohibition on forced conversions of the Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, into shares of common stock in the event the
Company’s stockholders approve the Acquisition after December 31, 2019.
The proceeds of the Convertible Debenture Offering, approximately $25 million, have been placed in a blocked bank account, pursuant to a deposit account control
agreement, to be entered into. The Company shall not have access to such proceeds until the closing of the Acquisition and only upon the satisfaction of certain
other requirements, including, among other things, effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement.
In connection with the Convertible Debentures, on January 17, 2020, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the Primary Purchasers and the representative
thereof, as collateral agent, entered into a security agreement, or the Primary Security Agreement. Pursuant to the Primary Security Agreement, the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries granted to the Primary Purchasers a first priority security interest in, a lien upon and a right of set-off against all of their personal property
(subject to certain exceptions) to secure the Primary Convertible Debentures. On January 17, 2020, the parties also entered into a registration rights agreement, or

soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than the effectiveness of the Acquisition. The Primary Registration Rights Agreement contains customary
terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including certain customary cash penalties on the Company for its failure to satisfy the specified filing and
effectiveness time periods.

note, issued on July 31, 2019, into 1,818,181 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series B Preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a stated value of
$1.10 per share, or the Series B Preferred. The Series B Preferred was issued on February 3, 2020.
Loans Provided by MICT
On September 19, 2019, MICT Telematics Ltd., or MICT Telematics, a wholly owned subsidiary of MICT, entered into a loan agreement with Micronet, pursuant
to which MICT Telematics loaned Micronet $250,000, on certain terms and conditions, or the First Loan. The proceeds from the First Loan were designed for
Micronet working capital and general corporate needs. The First Loan did not bear any interest and was due and payable upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2019;
or (ii) at such time Micronet receives an investment of at least $250,000 from non-related parties. The Company measures the loan at fair value through profit and
loss.
On November 13, 2019, the Company and Micronet executed a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan to Micronet $500,000 in
the aggregate, or the Convertible Loan. The Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.95% calculated and is paid on a quarterly basis. In addition, the
Convertible Loan, if not converted, shall be repaid in four equal installments, the first of such installment payable following the fifth quarter after the issuance of
the Convertible Loan, with the remaining three installments due on each subsequent quarter thereafter, such that the Convertible Loan shall be repaid in full upon
the lapse of 24 months from its grant. In addition, the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at
the Company’s option, at a conversion price equal to 0.38 NIS per Micronet share. Pursuant to the Convertible Loan agreement, Micronet also agreed to issue the
Company an option to purchase up to one share of Micronet’s ordinary shares for each ordinary share that issued as a result of a conversion of the Convertible
Loan at an exercise price of 0.60 NIS per share, exercisable for a period of 15 months. The closing of the Convertible Loan transaction was subject to the approval
of Micronet’s shareholders, which was obtained at a general meetings of its shareholders on January 1, 2020.
In view of Micronet’s working capital needs, on November 18, 2019 the Company entered into an additional loan agreement with Micronet for the loan of
$125,000, pursuant to terms and conditions identical to those governing the First Loan, including the repayment terms, or the Second Loan. Accordingly, prior to
the approval of the Convertible Loan by Micronet’s shareholders on January 1, 2020, the Company transferred to Micronet, pursuant to the First and Second Loan,
a total sum of $375,000. On January 1, 2020 the Convertible Loan agreement was approved at the general meeting of Micronet’s shareholders. At such time the
First and Second Loan were repaid to MICT and the remaining amount due to be loaned under the Convertible Loan, in the sum of $125,000, was loaned to
Micronet.
The Company recognized a loss on financial assets derived from a measurement preformed to the loan as of December 31, 2019 the company recorded a financial
expenses on the loan amounted to $94,000 in 2019.
In addition, in December 2017, the Company, Enertec, previously our wholly owned subsidiary, and Enertec Management Ltd., entered into a Share Purchase
Agreement, or the Share Purchase Agreement, with Coolisys Technologies Inc., or Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW Holdings, Inc., or DPW, pursuant to which we
agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. As consideration for the sale of Enertec’s entire share capital, Coolisys agreed to pay, at the closing of
the transaction, a purchase price of $5,250,000 as well as assume up to $4,000,000 of Enertec debt. On May 22, 2018, the Company closed on the sale of all of the
outstanding equity of Enertec pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement. At the closing, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately
$4,700,000 of which 10% was to be held in escrow, or the Escrow Amount, for up to 14 months after the closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification claims.
34
In conjunction with, and as a condition to, the closing, the Company, Enertec, Coolisys, DPW and Mr. David Lucatz, our Chief Executive Officer, executed a
consulting agreement, or the Consulting Agreement, whereby we, via Mr. Lucatz, will provide Enertec with certain consulting and transitional services over a 3
year period as necessary and requested by the Coolisys (but in no event to exceed 20% of Mr. Lucatz’s time). Coolisys (via Enertec) will pay us an annual
consulting fee of $150,000 as well as issue us 150,000 restricted shares of DPW Class A common stock, or the DPW Equity, for such services, to be vested and
released from restriction in three equal installments, with the initial installment vesting the day after the closing and the remaining installments vesting on each of
the first 2 anniversaries of the closing. In the event of a change of control in the Company, or if Mr. Lucatz shall no longer be employed by us, the rights and
obligations under the Consulting Agreement shall be assigned to Mr. Lucatz along with the DPW Equity.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Escrow Amount remains in escrow as a result of an indemnification claim by Coolisys alleging for certain
misrepresentations in the Share Purchase Agreement resulting in losses to Coolisys, estimated by Coolisys, to be at least $4,000,000.
There is no ongoing litigation in this matter, and it is the Company’s position is that there are no grounds for this claim by Coolisys and the Company is currently
preparing a response to Coolisys’ latest notice.
Debt Repayment
On June 17, 2014, MICT Telematics entered into a loan agreement, or the Mercantile Loan Agreement, with Mercantile Discount Bank Ltd., or Mercantile Bank,
pursuant to which Mercantile Bank agreed to loan the Company approximately $3,631,000 on certain terms and conditions, or the Mercantile Loan. The proceeds
of the Mercantile Loan were used by the Company: (1) to refinance previous loans granted to the Company in the amount of approximately $1,333,000; (2) to
complete the purchase by the Company, via Enertec, of 1.2 million shares of Micronet constituting 6.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet; and (3)
for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Mercantile loan was fully repaid in July 2019.
On March 29, 2018, the Company and MICT Telematics executed and closed on a securities purchase agreement with YA, whereby the Company issued and sold
to YA (1) certain Series A Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal aggregate amount of $3.2 million, or the Series A Debentures, and (2) a Series B
Convertible Debenture in the principal aggregate amount of $1.8 million, or the Series B Debenture. The Series A Debentures were issued in exchange for the
cancellation and retirement of certain promissory notes issued by the Company to YA on October 28, 2016, December 22, 2016, June 8, 2017 and August 22,
2017, or collectively, the Prior Notes, with a total outstanding aggregate principal amount of $3.2 million. The Series B Debenture was issued and sold for
aggregate gross cash proceeds of $1.8 million. At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to pay
YA II, or its designee, a commitment fee of $90,000, an extension fee of $50,000 relating to the prior extension of the secured promissory note issued on August
22, 2017, and $126,786.74 representing the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prior Notes. The Series A Debentures and Series B Debenture were secured by a
pledge of shares of Micronet owned by MICT Telematics. In conjunction with the issuance of the Series A Debentures and the Series B Debentures, a total of
$273,787 in fees and expenses were deducted from the aggregate gross proceeds.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to issue to YA a warrant to purchase up to 375,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share, a warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price
of $3.00 per share and a warrant to purchase up to 112,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share.
On December 17, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with YA, or the YA Agreement, with respect to (i) the Series A Debentures and the Series B
Debenture, and (ii) the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,187,500 shares of the Company’s common stock held by YA, with exercise prices ranging from
$1.50 to $4.00 and expiration dates ranging from June 30, 2021 to March 29, 2023, or collectively, the Warrants.
35
Pursuant to the YA Agreement, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement and effective upon the consummation of the
acquisition, the Warrants shall be replaced by certain new warrants, or the Replacement Warrants, exercisable at $2.00 per share for a number of ordinary shares of
MICT equal to the number of shares underlying the Warrants immediately prior to the effectiveness of the acquisition (subject to adjustment as described therein).
YA II also agreed that it would not convert the Series A Debentures and the Series B Debenture into more than one million shares of the Company’s common stock
during the period between the execution of the YA Agreement and the earlier to occur of the effectiveness of the acquisition or the termination of the Acquisition
Agreement.
The Company agreed to pay in cash the remaining outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest with respect to the Series A Debentures and the Series B
Debenture as of the consummation of the Acquisitions, subject to any applicable redemption premiums.
During 2019, the Company repaid the entire outstanding principal balance of the Series B Debentures in the aggregate amount of $1,225,000, which was paid in
shares of the Company’s common stock, and in October 31, 2019, the Company paid all of its outstanding principal balance, together with its accrued interest and a
required 10% premium, of the Series A Debentures in the aggregate amount of $2,057,000.
As of December 31, 2019, our total debt, was $1,856,000 as compared to $5,810,000 on December 31, 2018. The decrease in total debt is primarily due to the (i)
dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from
February 24, 2019, (ii) the full repayment of the YA II loan and (iii) the full repayment of the Mercantile Loan.
Total Current Assets, Trade Accounts Receivable and Working Capital
As of December 31, 2019, our total current assets were $4,417,000, as compared to $7,868,000 on December 31, 2018. The decrease is mainly due to the dilution
in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February
24, 2019.
Our trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2019, were $0 as compared to $1,010,000 at December 31, 2018. The decrease is mainly due to the dilution in our
ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24,
2019.
As of December 31, 2019, our working capital was $4,127,000, as compared to a deficit of $684,000 at December 31, 2018. The increase is mainly due to the
dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from
February 24, 2019 and from the increase in cash and cash equivalents from the Securities Purchase Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement, each as described
above.
Financing Needs
The Company will be required to support its own operational financial needs which include, among others, our general and administrative costs (such as for our
various consultants in regulatory, tax, legal, accounting and other areas of business) and our financing costs related to the loans and funding instruments assumed
by us.
The Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement (File No. 333-219596) under the Securities Act with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process, which was
declared effective on July 31, 2017. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, sell common stock, warrants or units in one or more offerings
up to a total dollar amount of $30,000,000, pursuant to which we have sold approximately $1,000,000 of our securities to date.
36
On June 4, 2019 the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 3,181,818 shares of Preferred Stock
with a stated value of $2.20 per share. The Preferred Stock, which shall be convertible into up to 6,363,636 shares of common stock of the Company, was sold
together with the Preferred Warrants, to purchase up to 4,772,727 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $7 million to the Company.
Concurrently with the offering of the Preferred Stock, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Note Purchase Agreement, with BNN,
pursuant to which BNN agreed to purchase from the Company $2 million of Convertible Notes, which subscription amount shall be subject to increase by up to an
additional $1 million as determined by BNN and the Company. The Convertible Notes, which shall be convertible into up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock,
shall be sold together with certain common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock. The Convertible Notes shall have a
duration of two years. During July 2019, the Company completed the first closing of the offering of Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the Company sold
2,386,363 shares of Preferred Stock and accompanying Preferred Warrants to purchase up to 3,579,544 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of
$5,250,000 revived by the Company. The Company further closed on and received an aggregate amount of $2 million in consideration for the convertible notes.
On December 31, 2019, the company received additional $1,200,000 in connection with the sale and issuance of additional shares of the Preferred Stock. On
January 2020, the company closed on and received additional $550,000 in connection with the sale and issuance of additional shares of the Preferred Stock. In
addition, the Company and BNN have agreed to convert the outstanding convertible note, issued to BNN on July 31, 2019, into 1,818,181 shares of the Company’s
newly-designated Series B Preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a stated value of $1.10 per share.
Based on our current business plan, and in view of our cash balance following the above transactions, we anticipate that our cash balances will be sufficient to
permit us to conduct our operations and carry out our contemplated business plans for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Annual Report. The
Company may also satisfy its liquidity through the sale of its securities, either in public or private transactions, or through the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. We intend to use such funds in order to sustain or expand our operations and refinance our various debts.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect that is material to investors on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial statements. Control is the power to govern
the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its operating activities. In assessing control legal and contractual rights are taken into
account. The consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control is achieved until the
date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.
Accounts receivable and allowances for doubtful accounts. Our trade receivables include amounts due from customers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations
of our customers’ financial condition and we require collateral as deemed necessary. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of our customers to make payments. In judging the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider multiple factors including the
aging of our receivables, historical bad debt experience and the general economic environment. Management applies considerable judgment in assessing the
realization of receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current creditworthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Long-lived assets and intangible assets. Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized using the straight-line basis over
their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates property and equipment and purchased intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the
undiscounted future cash flow and recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset
plus the net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. When the Company identifies an impairment, it
reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable
market values. As of December 31, 2018 all intangible assets were fully amortized.
37
Goodwill. Micronet performed goodwill impairment tests until 2016. The goodwill impairment test is conducted in two steps. In the first step, Micronet determines
the fair value of the reporting unit using expected future discounted cash flows and estimated terminal values. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds
the fair value, the Micronet would then perform the second step of the impairment test, which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value of all its assets
and liabilities in a manner similar to acquisition cost allocation, with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is
then compared to the carrying value to determine impairment, if any.
Starting in 2017, the Micronet now determines the fair value of the reporting unit using the income approach, which utilizes a discounted cash flow model, as the
Micronet believes that this approach best approximates the unit’s fair value at this time. Micronet has corroborated the fair values using the market approach.
Judgments and assumptions related to revenue, gross profit (loss), operating expenses, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of
capital, interest, capital expenditures, cash flows, and market conditions are inherent in developing the discounted cash flow model. Additionally, Micronet
evaluated the reasonableness of the estimated fair value of its reporting unit by reconciling its market capitalization. This reconciliation allowed the Micronet to
consider market expectations in corroborating the reasonableness of the fair value of the reporting unit. Following such reconciliation, Micronet found that there
was a material difference (approximately 54%) between the fair value of the reporting unit and its market capitalization as of December 31, 2017.
Micronet has one operating segment and one operating unit related to its product offerings in the MRM market. Until 2017, step one of the assessment resulted in
the carrying value of the MRM reporting unit exceeding its fair value. As described in the preceding paragraphs, the second step was performed by allocating the
reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities, with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. There were no impairments recorded until 2017.
As of December 31, 2018, Micronet’s market capitalization was significantly lower than the net book value of the reporting unit. In establishing the appropriate
market capitalization, the Micronet looked at the date that the annual impairment test is performed (December 31, 2018). In order to calculate its market
capitalization, Micronet used the price per share of NIS 0.46. Following the results of the step one test, Micronet continued to the second step, which was
performed by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities, with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. Micronet
determined that the carrying value of goodwill should be impaired and therefore an impairment of $1.466 million was recorded.
Revenue recognition. With respect to Micronet applicable revenue recognition U.S. GAAP requirements, Micronet implements a revenue recognition policy
pursuant to which it recognizes its revenues at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers.
Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products are
transferred to its customers. There is limited discretion needed in identifying the point control passes: once physical delivery of the products to the agreed location
has occurred, Micronet no longer has physical possession of the product and will be entitled at such time to receive payment while relieved from the significant
risks and rewards of the goods delivered. For most of Micronet’s products sales, control transfers when products are shipped.
Income taxes. Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the “asset and liability” method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined
based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, when it’s more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not
be realized in the foreseeable future.
The Company applied FASB ASC Topic 740-10-25, “Income Taxes,” which provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions and
prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It
also provides accounting guidance on derecognizing, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy on classification of all
interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax positions, if any, is to present them as a component of income tax expense.
Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which establishes the principles to report transparent and economically neutral
information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. This guidance results in a more faithful representation of the rights and obligations arising from
operating and capital leases by requiring lessees to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases in the statement of financial position and to
disclose qualitative and quantitative information about lease transactions, such as information about variable lease payments and options to renew and terminate
leases. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We used the modified retrospective transition approach in
ASU No. 2018-11 and apply the new lease requirements through a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. The new standard had no effect on our
consolidated financial statements, as we have no right of use assets and, or lease liabilities. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in
transition. We elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us not to reassess, under the new standard, our prior conclusions about lease
identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We used the practical expedient under which, a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of
12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. We didn’t elect the use-of-
hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. Further, this new accounting standard had no a material
impact on our debt covenants. The implementation of this standard didn’t have a material impact on our results of operations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Controller (our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer,
respectively), regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act) as of December 31, 2019. Based on the aforementioned evaluation, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as
of December 31, 2019.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting has been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and
directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to
be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, management used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that
assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, at December 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(3) A member of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee.
The following is a brief account of the business experience of each of our directors and executive officers during the past five years or more.
David Lucatz. Mr. Lucatz was elected to our board of directors and appointed as our President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2010 and previously served as a
director of Micronet from August 2013. From May 2010 until the closing of the sale of Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., Mr. Lucatz served as the President of Enertec
Systems 2001 Ltd., previously our wholly-owned subsidiary. Since 2006, he has been the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive
Officer of DLC, a boutique investment holding company based in Israel specializing in investment banking, deal structuring, business development and
public/private fund raising with a strong focus in the defense and homeland security markets. From 2001 until 2006, he was part of the controlling shareholder
group and served as a Deputy President and Chief Financial Officer of I.T.L. Optronics Ltd., a publicly-traded company listed on the TASE engaged in the
development, production and marketing of advanced electronic systems and solutions for the defense and security industries. From 1998 to 2001, he was the Chief
Executive Officer of Talipalast, a leading manufacturer of plastic products. Previously, Mr. Lucatz was an executive vice president of Securitas, a public finance
investments group. Mr. Lucatz holds a B.Sc. in Agriculture Economics and Management from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a M.Sc. in Industrial and
Systems Engineering from Ohio State University.
We believe that Mr. Lucatz’s experience over the last 25 years in management, operations, finance and business development in corporate turnaround, roll-up and
M&A situations, as well as his experience in the electronics defense and homeland security sectors, make him suitable to serve as a director of the Company.
Moran Amran. Mrs. Amran has been the Company’s Controller since 2011 and in January 2019 was appointed to serve as the Company’s Principal Financial
Officer. From 2010 until 2011, she served as Financial Controller of the Global Consortium on Security Transformation, a global homeland security organization.
From 2006 until 2007, she served as an assistant accountant for Agan Chemicals Ltd. Mrs. Amran holds a B.A. in Accounting and Business Management from The
College of Management Academic Studies in Rishon LeZion, Israel, obtained an MBA from The Ono Academic College in Kiryat Ono, Israel and is a certified
public accountant in Israel.
40
Chezy (Yehezkel) Ofir. Professor Ofir has served on our board of directors since April 2013. He was appointed as a director of Micronet in September 2012.
Professor Ofir has over 20 years of experience in business consulting and corporate management. During this period, Professor Ofir has served as a member of the
boards of directors of a large number of companies in various sectors. Professor Ofir has been a director and Chairman of the Financial Reporting Committee of
Makhteshim Agan, a leading manufacturer and distributor of crop protection products, has served as a director and member of all board committees of I.T.L.
Optronics Ltd., a publicly-traded company listed on the TASE engaged in the development, production and marketing of advanced electronic systems and solutions
for the defense and security industries, and as a member of the board of directors, Chairman of the Audit Committee and member of all board committees of
Shufersal, the largest food and non-food retail chain in Israel. He served as a member of the Executive Export Trade and Marketing Committee of the Industry and
Trade Ministry where he evaluated company programs and formulated and recommended funding to the committee. Professor Ofir has been a faculty member at
the Hebrew University for more than 20 years. Professor Ofir founded an Executive MBA program for CEOs, which is the first and only program of its kind in
Israel. Additionally, Professor Ofir has been the Chairman of the Marketing Department at the Hebrew University Business School for fifteen years. Professor Ofir
has been invited as a lecturer or research partner to many top universities, including Stanford University, University of California Berkeley, New York University
and Georgetown University. Professor Ofir’s publications have been covered in media and leading international business magazines and papers, including The
Financial Times, MIT Sloan Management Review and Stanford Business. Professor Ofir holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Engineering and doctorate and master’s
degrees in Business Administration from Columbia University.
We believe that Professor Ofir’s extensive experience in consulting companies on strategic processes, international business development, business and marketing
strategy, establishing control systems, products and new product strategies and pricing strategy, makes him suitable to serve as a director of the Company.
Jeffrey P. Bialos. Mr. Bialos has served on our board of directors since April 2013. Mr. Bialos has over 30 years of experience in a broad range of domestic and
international legal, governmental and public policy positions. He served as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Industrial Affairs from January 1999 through
December 2001 and in senior positions at the State and Commerce Department during the Clinton Administration and served on Defense Science Board task forces
from June 1996 through June 1997. He also was appointed to the Secure Virginia Panel, Virginia’s homeland security board, by two Virginia Governors. Mr.
Bialos also spent considerable time in private legal practice in Washington, D.C. with two large national law firms (currently, Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan LLP
where he has been a partner since 2002 and, previously, Weil, Gotshal & Manges from January 1990 through June 1996). He has represented a wide range of
domestic and foreign firms (including large multinational corporations and leading defense and aerospace firms), foreign governments, development institutions
such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Finance Corporation, private equity funds, public-private partnerships and
other entities, in a diverse range of corporate and commercial, adjudicatory, regulatory, policy and interdisciplinary matters. He has considerable experience in
Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Mr. Bialos holds a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School, a M.P.P. from the Kennedy School of Government at
Harvard University and an A.B. from Cornell University. He is a member of the New York Council on Foreign Relations.
We believe that Mr. Bialos’ broad and intimate familiarity with the aerospace, defense, information technology, space and homeland security industries and the
depth and breadth of his professional experience as a practicing lawyer and former government official, make him suitable to serve as a director of the Company.
John McMillan Scott. Mr. Scott has served on our board of directors since November 2019. He began his career as a stockbroker in October 1970 with Charlton
Seal Dimmock & Co. He became a Partner at the same firm in 1982 and subsequently a Director of Wise Speke Limited following a merger in 1990. In August
1994, he joined Albert E. Sharp LLP, a financial services company, as a Director, where he remained until June 2007. In 2007 he joined WH Ireland Group Plc, or
WH Ireland, a financial services company offering private wealth management, wealth planning and corporate broking services, where he oversaw the firm’s
private client business in Manchester, U.K. until his retirement from his role as an Executive Director from WH Ireland’s Board of Directors in 2013. Mr. Scott
currently serves as a consultant to WH Ireland. Mr. Scott holds a BSc in Economics from the University of London.
41
We believe that Mr. Scott extensive experience in consulting companies with the financial services, and corporate broking services, make him suitable to serve as a
director of the Company.
Darren Mercer. Mr. Mercer has served on our board of directors since November 2019. He began his career as an investment banker in the 1980s, holding senior
roles in institutional equity sales and corporate brokering at Henry Cooke Lumsden PLC and Albert E. Sharp LLC. In 2007, Mr. Mercer founded BNN (formerly
known as DJI Holdings Incorporated), and served as its Chief Executive Officer from its inception and until 2017, at which point, he began to serve as Director of
Strategic Partnerships and Business Development and Executive Director. Mr. Mercer is also currently a director of GFH. Mr. Mercer holds a BSc in Economics
from the University of Manchester, United Kingdom.
We believe that Mr. Mercer ’s experience as a business and marketing executive make him suitable to serve as a director of the Company.
There are no arrangements or understandings with major stockholders, customers, suppliers or others pursuant to which any of our directors or members of senior
management were selected as such. In addition, there are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.
Our future success depends, in significant part, on the continued service of our executive officers and the members of our board of directors, who possess extensive
expertise in various aspects of our business, including with respect to assisting us in completing the Acquisition. We may not be able to find an appropriate
replacement for any of our key personnel. Any loss or interruption of our key personnel’s services could adversely affect our ability to implement our business
plan. It could also result in our failure to create and maintain relationships with strategic partners that are critical to our success. We do not presently maintain key-
man life insurance policies on any of our officers.
Corporate Governance
Our board of directors is currently comprised of five directors. Mr. Lucatz, our chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, is not independent as that term is
defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Each of our directors, other than Mr. Lucatz and Mr. Mercer, qualify as “independent” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules,
and SEC rules with respect to members of boards of directors and our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance/Nominating
Committee, and otherwise meet the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.
Our board of directors has three standing committees: the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee.
Audit Committee
The members of our Audit Committee are Professor Ofir, Mr. Bialos and Mr. Scott. Professor Ofir is the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and our board of
directors has determined that Professor Ofir is an “Audit Committee financial expert” and that all members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as defined
by the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq rules and regulations. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that is posted on our website at www.mict-
inc.com. The primary responsibilities of our Audit Committee include:
●
●
●
●
appointing, compensating and retaining our registered independent public accounting firm;
overseeing the work performed by any outside accounting firm;
assisting the board of directors in fulfilling its responsibilities by reviewing: (1) the financial reports provided by us to the SEC, our stockholders or to the
general public and (2) our internal financial and accounting controls; and
recommending, establishing and monitoring procedures designed to improve the quality and reliability of the disclosure of our financial condition and
results of operations.
42
Compensation Committee
The members of our Compensation Committee are Professor Ofir, Mr. Bialos and Mr. Scott. Professor Ofir is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee and
our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Compensation Committee are “independent” as defined by the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq
rules and regulations. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that is posted on our website at www.mict-inc.com. The primary
responsibilities of our Compensation Committee include:
●
●
●
reviewing and recommending to our board of directors of the annual base compensation, the annual incentive bonus, equity compensation, employment
agreements and any other benefits of our executive officers;
administering our equity based compensation plans and exercising all rights, authority and functions of the board of directors under all of the Company’s
equity compensation plans, including without limitation, the authority to interpret the terms thereof, to grant options thereunder and to make stock awards
thereunder; and
annually reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the compensation policy for such other officers as directed by
our board of directors.
The Compensation Committee meets, as often as it deems necessary, without the presence of any executive officer whose compensation it is then approving.
Neither the Compensation Committee nor the Company engaged or received advice from any compensation consultant during 2019.
Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee
The members of our Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee are Professor Ofir, Mr. Bialos and Mr. Scott. Professor Ofir is the Chairman of the Corporate
Governance/Nominating Committee and our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee are
“independent” as defined by Nasdaq rules and regulations. The Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee operates under a written charter that is posted on
our website at www.mict-inc.com. The primary responsibilities of our Corporate governance and Nominating Committee include:
●
assisting the board of directors in, among other things, effecting board organization, membership and function including identifying qualified board
nominees; effecting the organization, membership and function of board of directors committees including composition and recommendation of qualified
candidates; establishment of and subsequent periodic evaluation of successor planning for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers;
development and evaluation of criteria for board membership such as overall qualifications, term limits, age limits and independence; and oversight of
compliance with applicable corporate governance guidelines; and
●
identifying and evaluating the qualifications of all candidates for nomination for election as directors.
Potential nominees will be identified by the board of directors based on the criteria, skills and qualifications that will be recognized by the Corporate
Governance/Nominating Committee. In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in the board of directors’ slate of recommended
director nominees, our Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee will apply criteria including the candidate’s integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our
business and industry, age, experience, diligence, conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interests of all stockholders. No particular criteria will be a
prerequisite or will be assigned a specific weight, nor do we have a diversity policy. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors,
considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will result in a well-rounded board of directors and allow the
board of directors to fulfill its responsibilities.
There have not been any changes in our process for nominating directors.
43
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports
regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the SEC and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of
such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, except for (i) the Form 3 filed by Moran Amran on February 1, 2019, (ii) the
Form 3 filed by John McMillan Scott on November 14, 2019, (iii) the Form 4 filed by Moran Amran on February 7, 2019, (iv) the Form 4 filed by Jeffrey Bialos
on February 7, 2019 and (v) the Form 3 filed by Darren Mercer on November 14, 2019, we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, all filing
requirements applicable to our officers, directors and ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, executive officers and all of our employees. The Code of Business Conduct
and Ethics is available on our website at www.mict-inc.com and we will provide, at no charge, persons with a written copy upon written request made to us.

Conduct and Ethics by posting such information on the website address specified above.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
MICT’s policy is to enter into transactions with related parties on terms that are on the whole no less favorable to it than those that would be available from
unaffiliated parties at arm’s length. Based on its experience in the business sectors in which it operates and the terms of the transactions with unaffiliated third
parties, MICT believes that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred.
On November 7, 2012, the board of directors and the audit committee of Micronet approved the entry into the Micronet Agreement which is a management and
consulting services agreement with DLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Lucatz, MICT’s Chief Executive Officer and significant shareholder, pursuant to which
effective November 1, 2012, Mr. Lucatz agreed to devote 60% of his time to Micronet matters for the three year term of the agreement and Micronet agreed to pay
the Micronet Management Fees to the entities controlled by Mr. Lucatz, and cover other monthly expenses. Such agreement was further subject to the approval of
Micronet’s stockholders, which was obtained at a special meeting held on January 30, 2013 for that purpose and went into effect following its execution on
February 8, 2013. The Micronet Agreement was extended on November 1, 2015 for three years on the same terms and conditions and was approved by Micronet’s
board of directors on October 11, 2015 and Micronet’s shareholders on November 16, 2015. Effective July 6, 2017, DLC has consented to reduce the Micronet
Management Fees to NIS 23,000 and by its further consent, as of October 31, 2018 management and consulting services are rendered for no consideration.
On November 26, 2012, DLC entered into a management and consulting services agreement with MICT, effective November 1, 2012, which provides that MICT
would pay the entities controlled by Mr. Lucatz: (i) management fees of $13,333 on a monthly basis, and cover other monthly expenses, (ii) an annual bonus of 3%
of the amount by which the annual EBITDA for such year exceeds the average annual EBITDA for 2011 and 2010, and (iii) a bonus of 0.5% of the purchase price
of any acquisition or capital raising transaction, excluding the public offering contemplated at such time, completed by us during the term of the agreement.
On June 6, 2018, the Compensation Committee of MICT approved maintaining Mr. Lucatz’s annual base salary of $400,000. In addition, on June 6, 2018, the
Compensation Committee of MICT approved a discretionary cash bonus to Mr. Lucatz, MICT’s Chief Executive Officer, in the aggregate amount of $300,000 as
well the issuance of a stock option to purchase 300,000 shares of MICT’s common stock, with an exercise price of $1.32 per share, with 100,000 shares of
common stock vesting immediately and 100,000 shares of common stock vesting on each of the first two anniversaries of the date of grant. The bonus and option
were granted to Mr. Lucatz in light of his contributions to MICT’s successful sale of its then wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd.
On November 19, 2018, the Company and DLC, a company owned by our President and Chief Executive Officer, each provided, separately and jointly, to
Micronet, a commitment to provide Micronet with an aggregate amount of $400,000, subject to the Company being the sole investor in a transaction between the
Company and Micronet, of a minimum investment of $250,000, whereby DLC would provide up to an additional $150,000. As of December 15, 2018, this
commitment is no longer in effect.
On February 24, 2019, Mr. David Lucatz, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, participated in Micronet’s public equity
offering on the TASE. Mr. Lucatz purchased 1,980 units, with each unit consisting of 1,000 ordinary shares of Micronet and options to purchase 400 ordinary
shares of Micronet, at a price per unit of NIS 435 (approximately $123), for an aggregate investment of NIS 435,000 (approximately $123,000) by Mr. Lucatz. As
a result of this offering, the Company’s ownership and voting interests in Micronet were each diluted. Mr. Lucatz subsequently executed the Micronet Proxy.

In connection with the Acquisition, on February 7, 2019, we issued to Jeffrey P. Bialos, a director of MICT, 80,000 restricted shares as consideration for certain
special efforts and services performed by Mr. Bialos in connection with negotiations for the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Subject to, and upon closing of, the Acquisitions, MICT will agreed to issue to certain of its current and former directors, including its Chief Executive
Officer,/officers the following awards (i) our former director, Miki Balin, and two of our current directors, Chezy (Yehezkel) Ofir and Jeffrey P. Bialos, including
our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Lucatz, 300,000 options to purchase MICT common stock (1,200,000 options in the aggregate) with an exercise price
equal to the purchase price per share of Merger Sub stock which shall be granted as success bonuses under MICT’s existing 2012 and 2014 Stock Incentive Plans
or under the Merger Sub equity plan (including the Merger Sub Israeli sub-plan) and which shall be, converted into replacement options of MICT Replacement
Options (as described in Section 2.6(b) of the Acquisition Merger Agreement) and which, for the, avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the termination of the
employment or directorship of the, option holder, shall expire on the 15 month anniversary of the closing date); and (ii) up to an additional, 300,000 restricted
shares of MICT common stock, to be issued to officers and service providers of MICT.
On September 19, 2019, MICT Telematics Ltd., or MICT Telematics, a wholly owned subsidiary of MICT, entered into a loan agreement with Micronet, pursuant
to which MICT Telematics loaned Micronet $250,000, on certain terms and conditions, or the First Loan. The proceeds from the First Loan were designed for
Micronet working capital and general corporate needs. The First Loan did not bear any interest and was due and payable upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2019;
or (ii) at such time Micronet receives an investment of at least $250,000 from non-related parties. The Company measures the loan at fair value through profit and
loss.
On November 13, 2019, the Company and Micronet executed a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan to Micronet $500,000 in
the aggregate, or the Convertible Loan. The Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.95% calculated and is paid on a quarterly basis. In addition, the
Convertible Loan, if not converted, shall be repaid in four equal installments, the first of such installment payable following the fifth quarter after the issuance of
the Convertible Loan, with the remaining three installments due on each subsequent quarter thereafter, such that the Convertible Loan shall be repaid in full upon
the lapse of 24 months from its grant. In addition, the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at
the Company’s option, at a conversion price equal to 0.38 NIS per Micronet share. Pursuant to the Convertible Loan agreement, Micronet also agreed to issue the
Company an option to purchase up to one share of Micronet’s ordinary shares for each ordinary share that issued as a result of a conversion of the Convertible
Loan at an exercise price of 0.60 NIS per share, exercisable for a period of 15 months. The closing of the Convertible Loan transaction was subject to the approval
of Micronet’s shareholders, which was obtained at a general meetings of its shareholders on January 1, 2020.
In view of Micronet’s working capital needs, on November 18, 2019 the Company entered into an additional loan agreement with Micronet for the loan of
$125,000, pursuant to terms and conditions identical to those governing the First Loan, including the repayment terms, or the Second Loan. Accordingly, prior to
the approval of the Convertible Loan by Micronet’s shareholders on January 1, 2020, the Company transferred to Micronet, pursuant to the First and Second Loan,
a total sum of $375,000. On January 1, 2020 the Convertible Loan agreement was approved at the general meeting of Micronet’s shareholders. At such time the
First and Second Loan were repaid to MICT and the remaining amount due to be loaned under the Convertible Loan, in the sum of $125,000, was loaned to
Micronet.
On June 4, 2019, we entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with BNN, a greater than 5% shareholder of MICT, which is affiliated with Darren Mercer, one of
MICT’s directors, pursuant to which BNN agreed to purchase from us $2 million of Convertible Notes, which subscription amount shall be subject to increase by
up to an additional $1 million as determined by BNN and us. The Convertible Notes, which shall be convertible into 1,818,181 shares of Common Stock (using the
applicable conversion ratio of $1.10 per share), are accompanied by the Note Warrants to purchase 1,818,181 shares of Common Stock (representing 100% of the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible). The Convertible Notes have a duration of two years.
On January 21, 2020, we entered into the Conversion, pursuant to which BNN agreed to convert the outstanding Convertible Note, issued on July 31, 2019, into
1,818,181 shares of our newly-designated Series B Preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a stated value of $1.10 per share. The shares of the Series B
Preferred stock are convertible into shares of our common stock at any time after we shall have received shareholder approval of the Acquisition, and shall also
convert automatically upon the occurrence of certain events, including the completion by us of a fundamental transaction. The Series B Preferred shall be non-
voting and non-redeemable.
Except as described above, no director, executive officer, principal stockholder holding at least 5% of MICT common stock, or any family member thereof, had or
will have any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction, during 2019 in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded
or exceeds $120,000 or one percent of the average of the total assets of MICT at the year-end for the last two completed fiscal years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of MICT, Inc.
Delware
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MICT, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated
statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the
related notes (collectively referred to as “the consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2012.

MICT, INC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In Thousands)
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
MICT Inc., we, or the Company, was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 31, 2002. On March 14, 2013, the Company changed its corporate name from
Lapis Technologies, Inc. to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. On July 13, 2018, following the sale of its former subsidiary Enertec Systems Ltd., the Company
changed the Company name from Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. to MICT, Inc. Our shares have been listed for trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or
Nasdaq, since April 29, 2013.
The Company’s business relates to its ownership interest in its Israel-based, former subsidiary, Micronet Ltd., or Micronet, in which the Company previously held
a majority ownership interest that has since been diluted to a minority ownership interest. Micronet operates in the growing commercial Mobile Resource
Management, or MRM, market. Micronet through both its Israeli and U.S. operational offices designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing
devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with computing solutions in challenging work environments.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr.
David Lucatz, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019,
Micronet closed a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE. As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was
diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On February 24, 2019, Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, executed an irrevocable proxy assigning his
voting power over 1,980,000 shares of Micronet for our benefit. As a result, our voting interest in Micronet stood at 39.53% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Micronet. The decrease in the Company’s voting interest in Micronet resulted in the deconsolidation of Micronet’s operating results from our financial statements
as of February 24, 2019. Therefore, commencing from February 24, 2019, the Company accounts for the investment in Micronet in accordance with the equity
method. As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company recognized a net gain of $299 in February 2019.
On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%,
and our current voting interest in Micronet stands at 37.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet.

Micronet’s vehicle portable tablets offers computing power and communication capabilities that provide fleet operators with visibility into vehicle location, fuel
usage, speed and mileage. Furthermore, users are able to manage the drivers in various aspects, such as: driver behavior, driver identification, reporting hours
worked, customer/organization working procedures and protocols, route management and navigation based on tasks and time schedule. End users may also receive
real time messages for various services such as pickup and delivery, repair and maintenance, status reports, alerts, notices relating to the start and ending of work,
digital forms, issuing and printing of invoices and payments. Through its SmartHub product, Micronet provides its consumers with services such as driver
recognition, identifying and preventing driver fatigue, recognizing driver behavior, preventive maintenance, fuel efficiency and an advanced driver assistance
system. In addition, Micronet provides third party telematics service providers, or TSPs, a platform to offer services such as “Hours of Service.” Micronet
previously commenced and continues to evaluate integration with other TSPs.
Micronet is currently entering the video analytics device market by developing an all in-one video telematics device known as Micronet SmartCam. Micronet
SmartCam technologically, based on the powerful flexible android platform, is expected to be a ruggedized, integrated, and ready-to-go smart camera supporting
complete telematics features designed for in-vehicle use. Coupled with vehicle-connected interfaces, state of the art diagnostic capabilities, and two cameras, it
offers video analytics and telematics services, addressing safety, vehicle health, and tracking needs of commercial fleets. We believe that Micronet SmartCam
provides a versatile, advanced, and affordable mobile computing platform for a variety of fleet management and video analytics solutions. The powerful computing
platform, coupled with the Android 9 operating system, allows the company customers to run their applications or pick and choose a set of applications and
services from Micronet marketplace. Micronet’s customers consist primarily of application service providers, or ASPs, and solution providers specializing in the
MRM market. These companies sell Micronet’s products as part of their MRM systems and solutions. Currently, Micronet does not sell directly to end users.
Micronet customers are generally MRM solution and service providers, ASP providers in the transportation market, including long haul, local fleets’ student
transportation (yellow busses) and fleet and field management systems for construction and heavy equipment. Micronet products are used by customers worldwide.
Micronet operates and conducts its business in the U.S. market through Micronet Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary located in Utah. The Micronet U.S.-based
business, operations and facilities include a logistics warehouse and distribution center, and technical service and support infrastructure as well as sales and
marketing capabilities which allow Micronet to continue expansion into the U.S. market while support its existing U.S.-based customers with further accessibility
and presence to local fleets and local MRM service providers.

China, ParagonEx LTD, a British Virgin Islands company, or ParagonEx, certain holders of ParagonEx’s outstanding ordinary shares and a trustee thereof, and
Mark Gershinson, in the capacity as the representative of the ParagonEx sellers, entered into an Acquisition Agreement, or the Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to
which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into
the Company, as a result of which each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock and warrant to purchase the same would be cancelled in exchange for

F-11
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONT.)
In furtherance of the Transactions, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Acquisition Agreement, BNN agreed to commence a tender
offer, or the Offer, as promptly as practicable and no event later than 15 business days after the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, to purchase up to
approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $1.65, net to the sellers in cash, without interest, or the Offer
Price. On March 13, 2019. the deadline for the Offer was extended to April 8, 2019. Additionally, following the Transactions, it was contemplated that the certain
of the company’s operating business assets, including company’s interest in Micronet, would be spun off to company’s stockholders who continue to retain shares
of company’s common stock after the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, and assuming that none of the shares of company’s
common stock are purchased by BNN in connection with the Offer, company’s stockholders would own approximately 5.27% of GFH after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement.
On May 31, 2019, we terminated the spin-off of Micronet and in June 2019, the Offer was terminated. Effective November 7, 2019, we, BNN, BI China and

and MICT Merger Subsidiary Inc., a to-be-formed British Virgin Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MICT (“Merger Sub”), shall upon execution
of a joinder enter into, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Intermediate, with Intermediate continuing as the surviving entity, and each

of MICT (collectively, the “Acquisition”). GFH will receive an aggregate of 109,946,914 shares of MICT common stock as merger consideration in the
Acquisition.
Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Intermediate entered into (i) a share exchange agreement with Beijing Brookfield Interactive Science &
Technology Co. Ltd., an enterprise formed under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (“Beijing Brookfield”), pursuant to which Intermediate will acquire all
of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and other equity interest of Beijing Brookfield from the shareholders of Beijing Brookfield in exchange for
16,310,759 newly issued shares of GFH and (ii) a share exchange agreement with ParagonEx, shareholders of ParagoneEx specified therein (the “ParagonEx
Sellers”) and Mark Gershinson, pursuant to which, the ParagonEx Sellers will transfer to Intermediate all of the issued and outstanding securities of ParagonEx in
exchange for Intermediate’s payment and delivery of $10.0 million in cash, which is to be paid upon the closing of the Acquisition, and 75,132,504 newly issued
shares of GFH deliverable at the closing of the share exchange.
After giving effect to the Acquisition, the conversion of the Convertible Debentures (as defined below) and the conversion or exercise of the securities issued by
MICT pursuant to the Offering of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants and the Offering of Convertible Note and Warrants, each as further below, it
is expected that MICT will have approximately $15.0 million of cash as well as ownership of ParagonEx and Beijing Brookfield and that MICT’s current
stockholders will own approximately 11,089,532 shares, or 7.64%, of the 145,130,577 shares of MICT common stock outstanding.
F-12
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONT.)
Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, approval by the
stockholders of MICT and receipt of a fairness opinion indicating that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to the stockholders of
MICT. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Intermediate. The Merger Agreement also contains customary
representations, warranties and covenants made by, among others, MICT, Intermediate and Merger Sub, including as to the conduct of their respective businesses
(as applicable) between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Merger Agreement provides that all options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that are outstanding and unexercised shall be accelerated in
full effective as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition. The options shall survive the closing of the Acquisition for a period of 15 months
from the date of the closing of the Acquisition and all equity incentive plans of the Company shall remain in effect.
Consummation of the Merger Agreement is subject to various conditions, including the following mutual conditions of the parties unless waived: (i) the approval
of the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of MICT’s stockholders; (ii) expiration of the applicable waiting period under any antitrust laws, including the Hart-

Closing; (vi) no restraining order or injunction preventing the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (vii) appointment or
election of the members of the post-Closing MICT board of directors as agreed, and (viii) the filing of the definitive proxy statement with the SEC.
In addition, prior to the consummation of the Merger, if the Merger Agreement is terminated after the closing of the Beijing Brookfield Acquisition or the
ParagonEx Acquisition, as the case may be, or if the Merger does not close by the outside date set forth in the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated by
the Beijing Brookfield Share Exchange Agreement and the ParagonEx Share Exchange Agreement, may be unwound. In the event of an unwinding of such
acquisitions, GFH will return the Beijing Brookfield shares to BI Interactive and the ParagonEx shares to the Paragon Ex Sellers and in turn BI Interactive and the
ParagonEx Sellers will return the shares of Global Fintech received in the applicable share exchange.
Voting Agreement. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, D. L Capital (“DLC”), an entity affiliated with David Lucatz, the
President and Chief Executive Officer of MICT, entered into a voting agreement, by and among MICT, GFH and DLC (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to
which, during the term of such agreement, DLC has agreed to vote all of its capital shares in MICT in favor of the Merger Agreement, the related ancillary
documents and any required amendments to MICT’s organizational documents, and in favor of all of the transactions in furtherance thereof, and to take certain
other actions in support of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and will, at every meeting of the stockholders of MICT called for such purpose,
and at every adjournment or postponement thereof (or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or approval is sought, including by written consent),
not vote any of its shares of the Common Stock at such meeting in favor of, or consent to, and will vote against and not consent to, the approval of any alternative
proposal that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay or adversely affect in any material respect the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Voting Agreement shall terminate, among other reasons, upon the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement
and March 31, 2020.
Offering of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants
On June 4, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers named therein (the
“Preferred Purchasers”) subject to approval by the Nasdaq Stock Market for as to the eligibility of the transaction, pursuant to which we agreed to sell 3,181,818
shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $2.20 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock, which shall be
convertible into up to 6,363,636 shares of the company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), shall be sold together with certain
Common Stock purchase warrants (the “Preferred Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,772,727 shares of Common Stock (representing 75% of the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock shall be convertible), for aggregate gross proceeds of $7 million to us (the “Preferred Offering”). The
terms of the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement were approved by Nasdaq Stock Market on July 31, 2019 and as a result the company issued the preferred
stock along with the warrants.
F-13
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONT.)
The Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock at the option of each holder of Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time at a conversion price
of $1.10 per share, and shall also convert automatically upon the occurrence of certain events, including the completion by us of a fundamental transaction.
Commencing on March 31, 2020, cumulative cash dividends shall become payable on the Preferred Stock at the rate per share of 7% per annum, which rate shall
increase to 14% per annum on June 30, 2020. We shall also have the option to redeem some or all of the Preferred Stock, at any time and from time to time,
beginning on December 31, 2019. The holders of Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class on as-converted basis, and
the holders of Preferred Stock holding a majority-in-interest of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to appoint an independent director to the company’s board of
directors (the “Preferred Director”). The Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement provides for customary registration rights.
The Preferred Warrants shall have an exercise price of $1.01 (subject to customary adjustment in the event of future stock dividends, splits and the like), which is
above the average price of the Common Stock during the preceding five trading days of entry into the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, and shall be
exercisable immediately, until the earlier of (i) two years from the date of issuance or (ii) the later of (a) 180 days after the closing by the Company of a change of
control transaction, or (b) the company’s next debt or equity financing of at least $20 million.
Offering of Convertible Note and Warrants
On June 4, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with BNN subject to approval by the Nasdaq Stock Market
for as to the eligibility of the transaction, pursuant to which BNN agreed to purchase from us $2 million of convertible notes, which subscription amount shall be
subject to increase by up to an additional $1 million as determined by BNN and us (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes, which shall be
convertible into up to 2,727,272 shares of Common Stock (using the applicable conversion ratio of $1.10 per share), shall be sold together with certain Common
Stock purchase warrants (the “Note Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,727,272 shares of Common Stock (representing 100% of the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible) (the “Convertible Note Offering”). The Convertible Notes shall have a duration of two (2) years.
The Convertible Notes shall be convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Note Purchaser at any time and from time to time, and upon the issuance of one
or more Convertible Notes. Darren Mercer, the Chief Executive Officer of BNN, was appointed to the Company’s board of directors (the “Note Director”). The
Note Purchase Agreement provides for customary registration rights. The terms of the note purchase agreement were approved by Nasdaq Stock Market on July
31, 2019 and as a result the company issued the convertible notes along with the warrants.
The Note Warrants shall have an exercise price of $1.01 (subject to customary adjustment in the event of future stock dividends, splits and the like), and shall be
exercisable immediately upon receipt of stockholder approval of the Convertible Note Offering, until the earlier of (i) two years from the date of issuance or (ii) the
later of (a) 180 days after the closing by the Company of a change of control transaction, or (b) the company’s next debt or equity financing of at least $20 million.
In accordance with ASC 470 “Debt”, the Company analyzed the Note Purchase Agreement and the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement (as described above)
as combined transaction, as both agreements were signed simultaneously with an overall objective and as a result allocated the total proceeds between convertible
notes, the warrants and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock based on their relative fair value at the closing date. The Company analyzed the warrants issued, the
convertible conversation feature and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and concluded that they meet the definition of an equity instrument.
On January 21, 2020, we entered into a Conversion Agreement with BNN, pursuant to which BNN agreed to convert the outstanding convertible note, issued on
July 31, 2019, into 1,818,181 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a stated value of $1.10 per
share (the “Series B Preferred”) (collectively, the “Conversion”). In accordance with the Conversion, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of
Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Preferred with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 21, 2020 to designate the rights and
preferences of up to 1,818,181 shares of Series B Preferred.

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONT.)
Offering of Secured Convertible Debentures
On November 7, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Primary Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors identified therein (the
“Primary Purchasers”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Primary Purchasers agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the
Primary Purchase Agreement, to purchase from us 5% senior secured convertible debentures due 2020 (the “Primary Convertible Debentures”) with an aggregate
principal amount of approximately $15.9 million (the “Primary Convertible Debenture Offering”). The proceeds of $15.9 million from the sale of the Primary
Convertible Debentures were funded on January 21, 2020. Concurrently with entry into the Primary Purchase Agreement, we entered into a separate Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “Non-Primary Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Primary Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain
investors identified therein (the “Non-Primary Purchasers” and, together with the Primary Purchasers, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which, among other things, the
Non-Primary Purchasers agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Non-Primary Purchase Agreement, to purchase from us 5%
senior secured convertible debentures due 2020 (the “Non-Primary Convertible Debentures” and, together with the Primary Convertible Debentures, the
“Convertible Debentures”) with an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 million (together with the Primary Convertible Debenture Offering, collectively, the
“Convertible Debenture Offering”). The Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into our shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.41 per share.
The Convertible Debentures will be due upon the earlier of (i) six months from the date of issuance and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement. We are
obligated to pay interest to the Purchasers on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly, in cash or, at our option in certain
instances, in shares of Common Stock. We may not voluntarily prepay any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures without the prior written
consent of the Purchasers.
Subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the shares of Common Stock to allow for the full conversion of the Convertible Debentures into Common Stock,
the Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Purchasers at any time and from time to time. Upon the closing of the
Acquisition and written notice from us to the Purchasers, the Purchasers shall be forced to convert the Convertible Debentures into our shares of Common Stock
(the “Forced Conversion”). Upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, if we fail to file a preliminary proxy statement with respect to the
Acquisition on or prior to November 18, 2019, if the Forced Conversion does not occur on or before January 24, 2020, or certain breaches of the Primary
Purchasers’ Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), the Primary Purchasers are permitted to require us to redeem the Primary Convertible Debentures,
including any interest that has accrued thereunder, for cash.
The Proceeds of $15.9 million from the sale of the Primary Convertible Debentures were funded on January 21, 2020 and placed in a separate blocked account that
shall remain subject to a deposit account control agreement until the closing of the Merger. We shall not have access to such proceeds until the closing of the
Acquisition and only upon the satisfaction of certain other requirements, including, among other things, effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement (as
defined below).
The Purchase Agreements provide for customary registration rights, pursuant to their respective registration rights agreement to be entered into at the time of the
closing of the Convertible Debenture Offering (each, a “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, the we are obligated to,
among other things, (i) file a registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) with the SEC for purposes of registering the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the
SEC as soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than the effectiveness of the Acquisition. The Registration Rights Agreements contains customary
terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including certain customary cash penalties on us for our failure to satisfy the specified filing and effectiveness
time periods.

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONT.)
Offering of Secured Convertible Debentures (Cont.)
On November 12, 2019, the Company filed an Amended Certificate of Designation of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations with the Secretary of State of
Delaware to remove the prohibition on forced conversions of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, into shares of common stock in
the event the Company’s stockholders approve the Acquisition after December 31, 2019.
The proceeds of the Convertible Debenture Offering, approximately $25 million out of which $15.9 million were received on January 2020, have been placed in a
blocked bank account, pursuant to a deposit account control agreement, to be entered into. The Company shall not have access to such proceeds until the closing of
the Acquisition and only upon the satisfaction of certain other requirements, including, among other things, effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement.
In connection with the Convertible Debentures, on January 17, 2020, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the Primary Purchasers and the representative
thereof, as collateral agent, entered into a security agreement, or the Primary Security Agreement. Pursuant to the Primary Security Agreement, the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries granted to the Primary Purchasers a first priority security interest in, a lien upon and a right of set-off against all of their personal property
(subject to certain exceptions) to secure the Primary Convertible Debentures. On January 17, 2020, the parties also entered into a registration rights agreement, or
the Primary Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Primary Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to, among other things, (i) file a
registration statement, or the Resale Registration Statement with SEC within seven business days following the filing of an initial proxy statement with respect to
the contemplated merger by and among the Company, Intermediate, and Merger Sub, for purposes of registering the shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Primary Convertible Debentures, and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as
soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than the effectiveness of the Acquisition. The Primary Registration Rights Agreement contains customary
terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including certain customary cash penalties on the Company for its failure to satisfy the specified filing and
effectiveness time periods.
In July 2019, the Company paid all of its outstanding bank loans in the amount of $251. During 2019, the Company repaid the entire outstanding principal balance
of the Series B Convertible Debentures to YA II in the aggregate amount of $1,225, which was paid in shares of the Company’s common stock, and in October 31,
2019, the Company paid all of its outstanding principal balance, together with its accrued interest and a required 10% premium, of the Series A Convertible
Debentures issued to YA II in the aggregate amount of $2,057 cash.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
(U.S. GAAP).
Principle of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances
among the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
Functional Currency
The functional currency of MICT is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is their local currency. The financial statements of those
companies are included in consolidation, based on translation into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end-exchange rates, while revenues and
expenses are translated at monthly average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation are presented in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are considered by the Company to be highly-liquid investments, including inter-alia, short-term deposits with banks, which do not exceed
maturities of three months at the time of deposit and which are not restricted.
F-17
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure trade and receivables are not overstated due to uncollectability. The allowance for doubtful
accounts was based on specific receivables, which their collection, in the opinion of Company’s management, is in doubt. Trade receivables are charged off in the
period in which they are deemed to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $116 and $1,330,
respectively.
Inventories
Inventories of raw materials are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or realizable value. Cost of work in process is comprised of direct materials,
direct production costs and an allocation of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
Leasehold improvements
Machinery and equipment
Furniture and fixtures
Transportation equipment
Computer equipment
Stock Based Compensation
Over the shorter of the lease term or
the life of the assets
7-14 years
10-14 years
7 years
3 years
The Company accounts for stock based compensation under the fair market value method under which compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on
the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. For stock options, fair value is determined using an option-
pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying stock, the
expected dividends on it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to statements of income as incurred net of grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (formerly known as the Israel
Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Economy), or IIA.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted
earnings per share is the same for all periods presented, as the effect of the potential common shares equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss
position for all periods presented.
F-18
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets
Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The company
evaluates property and equipment and purchased intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow and
recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset plus the net proceeds expected from
disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. When the Company identifies an impairment, it reduces the carrying amount of the asset
to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of December 31, 2017,
no indicators of impairment have been identified. As of December 31, 2018 all intangible assets were fully amortized.
Goodwill
Previously the goodwill was recorded at Micronet. The goodwill impairment test was conducted in two steps. In the first step, Micronet determines the fair value of
the reporting unit. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the Micronet would then perform the second step of the impairment test, which
required the allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value of all its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to acquisition cost allocation, with any residual fair value
being allocated to goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill was then compared to the carrying value to determine impairment, if any.
Micronet has one operating segment and one operating unit related to its product offerings in the MRM market. As of December 31, 2018, Micronet’s market
capitalization was significantly lower than the net book value of the reporting unit. In establishing the appropriate market capitalization, the Micronet looked at the
date that the annual impairment test is performed (December 31, 2018). In order to calculate its market capitalization, Micronet used the price per share of NIS
0.46. Following the results of the step one test, Micronet continued to the second step, which was performed by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its
assets and liabilities, with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. Micronet determined that the carrying value of goodwill should be impaired and
therefore an impairment of $1.466 million was recorded.
Revenue Recognition
With respect to Micronet applicable revenue recognition GAAP requirements, Micronet implements a revenue recognition policy pursuant to which it recognizes
its revenues at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred
when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products are transferred to its customers. There is
limited discretion needed in identifying the point control passes: once physical delivery of the products to the agreed location has occurred, Micronet no longer has
physical possession of the product and will be entitled at such time to receive payment while relieved from the significant risks and rewards of the goods delivered.
For most of Micronet’s products sales, control transfers when products are shipped.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
FASB ASC Topic 220-10, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires the Company to report in its consolidated financial statements, in addition to its net loss,
comprehensive income (loss), which includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources including, as applicable, foreign currency items, and
other items.
The Company’s other comprehensive income for all periods presented is related to the translation from functional currency to the presentation currency.
F-19
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the “asset and liability” method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, when it’s more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in
the foreseeable future.
The Company applied FASB ASC Topic 740-10-25, “Income Taxes,” which provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions and
prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It
also provides accounting guidance on derecognizing, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy on classification of all
interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax positions, if any, is to present them as a component of income tax expense.
Financial Instruments
1. Concentration of credit risks:
Financial instruments that have the potential to expose the Company to credit risks are mainly cash and cash equivalents, bank deposit accounts and
marketable securities.
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents, securities and deposit accounts at large banks in Israel, thereby substantially reducing the risk of loss.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its loans to related parties for the purpose of determining the appropriate allowance impairment and has
a convection feature as a collateral. An appropriate allowance for impairment is included in the accounts.
2. Fair value measurement:
The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is based on the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad
levels, which are described below:
Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives
the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2:
Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
F-20
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
Financial Instruments(Cont.)
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the
extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which establishes the principles to report transparent and economically neutral
information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. This guidance results in a more faithful representation of the rights and obligations arising from
operating and capital leases by requiring lessees to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases in the statement of financial position and to
disclose qualitative and quantitative information about lease transactions, such as information about variable lease payments and options to renew and terminate
leases. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We used the modified retrospective transition approach in
ASU No. 2018-11 and apply the new lease requirements through a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. The new standard had no effect on our
consolidated financial statements, as we have no right of use assets and, or lease liabilities. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in
transition. We elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us not to reassess, under the new standard, our prior conclusions about lease
identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We used the practical expedient under which, a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of
12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. We didn’t elect the use-of-
hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. Further, this new accounting standard had no a material
impact on our debt covenants. The implementation of this standard didn’t have a material impact on our results of operations.

NOTE 8 — LOANS FROM OTHERS
On March 29, 2018, the Company and MICT Telematics Ltd. (formerly known as Enertec Electronics Ltd.), or MICT Telematics, a subsidiary of the Company,
executed and closed on a securities purchase agreement with YA II whereby the Company issued and sold to YA II (1) certain Series A Convertible Debentures in
the aggregate principal aggregate amount of $3,200, or the Series A Debentures, and (2) a Series B Convertible Debenture in the principal aggregate amount of
$1,800, or the Series B Debenture. The Series A Debentures were issued in exchange for the cancellation and retirement of certain promissory notes issued by the
Company to YA II on October 28, 2016, December 22, 2016, June 8, 2017 and August 22, 2017, with a total outstanding aggregate principal amount of $3,200.
The Series B Debenture was issued and sold for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $1,800.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to issue to YA II a warrant to purchase up to 375,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, a warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price
of $3.00 per share and a warrant to purchase up to 112,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Series A Debentures and the Series B Debentures, a total of $273 in fees and expenses were deducted from the aggregate
gross proceeds and paid to YA II.
On December 17, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with YA with respect to the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,187,500 shares of the
Company’s common stock held by YA, with exercise prices ranging from $1.5 to $4.00 and expiration dates ranging from June 30, 2021 to March 29, 2023.
Pursuant to the YA Agreement, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement and effective upon the consummation of the

NOTE 9 — LOSS OF CONTROL OF SUBSIDIARY
As of December 31, 2018, we held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David
Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a
public equity offering on the TASE. As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On February 24,
2019, Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, executed an irrevocable proxy assigning his voting power over 1,980,000 shares of Micronet
for our benefit. As a result, the voting interest in Micronet stood at 39.53% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet. The decrease in the Company’s voting
interest in Micronet resulted in the loss of control of Micronet. As a result, effective as of February 24, 2019, we no longer include Micronet’s operating results in
our financial statements. Therefore, commencing from February 24, 2019, the Company began to account for the investment in Micronet in accordance with the
equity method.

NOTE 9 — LOSS OF CONTROL OF SUBSIDIARY (CONT.)
On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%,
and our current voting interest in Micronet stands at 37.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet.
The Company recorded an impairment of its investment in Micronet and change in fair value in loan to Micronet as of December 31, 2019 in the total amount of
$281.
The method used for determining fair value of the investment in Micronet was based on a quoted market price on the TASE.
While Micronet is a publicly traded company in Israel, its shareholder base is widely spread and we continue to be Micronet’s largest shareholder, as of September
5, 2019 maintaining a voting interest of 37.79% of its issued and outstanding shares as of September 5, 2019. We believe that since most items that may require
shareholder approval required majority consent, we exert significant influence over such voting matters which may include the appointment and removal of
directors. In that regard, to date, we have appointed a majority of the directors of Micronet’s board of directors.
Based on the above, although we do not control Micronet and thus do not consolidate Micronet’s financial statements according to U.S. GAAP. We also do not
consider Micronet to be a discontinued operation since we did not view the dilution of our interesta as a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on our
operations. .

A. Basis of Taxation
United States:
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Act, was enacted, which significantly changed U.S. tax laws. The Act lowered the tax rate of
the Company. The statutory federal income tax rate was 21% in 2018 and in 2019.
Israel:
The Company’s Israeli subsidiaries and associated are governed by the tax laws of the state of Israel which had a general tax rate of 23% in 2019 and 23% in
2018. The Company is entitled to various tax benefits in Israel by virtue of being granted the status of an “Approved Enterprise Industrial Company” as
defined by the tax regulations. The benefits include, among other things, a reduced tax rate.
In December 2016, the Israeli government published the Economic Efficiency Law (2016) (legislative amendments to accomplish budget goals for the years
2019 and 2018). According to such law, in 2017 the general tax rate was decreased by 1% and starting in 2018 was decreased by 2%; so that the tax rate was
23% in 2019 and was 23% in 2018 and onwards. In addition, the tax rate that applies to Preferred Enterprises in preferred areas was be decreased by 1.5% to
7.5% starting January 1, 2017.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s net operating loss carry forward amounted to approximately $8,567 based on the tax report of 2018 along with 2019
estimated tax results, which may be utilized to offset future taxable income for United States federal tax purposes. This net operating loss carry forward begins
to expire in 2022. Since it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize a benefit from this net operating loss carry forward, a 100% valuation
allowance has been recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to its net realizable value.
F. Tax Assessments
The Company received final tax assessments in the United States through tax year 2012, and with regard to the Israeli subsidiaries received final tax
assessments up until tax year 2012.
G. Uncertain Tax Position

NOTE 13 — RELATED PARTIES
MICT’s policy is to enter into transactions with related parties on terms that are on the whole no less favorable to it than those that would be available from
unaffiliated parties at arm’s length. Based on its experience in the business sectors in which it operates and the terms of the transactions with unaffiliated third
parties, MICT believes that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred.
On November 7, 2012, the board of directors and the audit committee of Micronet approved the entry into the Micronet Agreement which is a management and
consulting services agreement with DLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Lucatz, MICT’s Chief Executive Officer and significant shareholder, pursuant to which
effective November 1, 2012, Mr. Lucatz agreed to devote 60% of his time to Micronet matters for the three year term of the agreement and Micronet agreed to pay
the Micronet Management Fees to the entities controlled by Mr. Lucatz, and cover other monthly expenses. Such agreement was further subject to the approval of
Micronet’s stockholders, which was obtained at a special meeting held on January 30, 2013 for that purpose and went into effect following its execution on
February 8, 2013. The Micronet Agreement was extended on November 1, 2015 for three years on the same terms and conditions and was approved by Micronet’s
board of directors on October 11, 2015 and Micronet’s shareholders on November 16, 2015. Effective July 6, 2017, DLC has consented to reduce the Micronet
Management Fees to NIS 23,000 and by its further consent, as of October 31, 2018 management and consulting services are rendered for no consideration.
On November 26, 2012, DLC entered into a management and consulting services agreement with MICT, effective November 1, 2012, which provides that MICT
would pay the entities controlled by Mr. Lucatz: (i) management fees of $13,333 on a monthly basis, and cover other monthly expenses, (ii) an annual bonus of 3%
of the amount by which the annual EBITDA for such year exceeds the average annual EBITDA for 2011 and 2010, and (iii) a bonus of 0.5% of the purchase price
of any acquisition or capital raising transaction, excluding the public offering contemplated at such time, completed by us during the term of the agreement.
On June 6, 2018, the Compensation Committee of MICT approved maintaining Mr. Lucatz’s annual base salary of $400,000. In addition, on June 6, 2018, the
Compensation Committee of MICT approved a discretionary cash bonus to Mr. Lucatz, MICT’s Chief Executive Officer, in the aggregate amount of $300,000 as
well the issuance of a stock option to purchase 300,000 shares of MICT’s common stock, with an exercise price of $1.32 per share, with 100,000 shares of
common stock vesting immediately and 100,000 shares of common stock vesting on each of the first two anniversaries of the date of grant. The bonus and option
were granted to Mr. Lucatz in light of his contributions to MICT’s successful sale of its then wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd.
On November 19, 2018, the Company and DLC, a company owned by our President and Chief Executive Officer, each provided, separately and jointly, to
Micronet, a commitment to provide Micronet with an aggregate amount of $400,000, subject to the Company being the sole investor in a transaction between the
Company and Micronet, of a minimum investment of $250,000, whereby DLC would provide up to an additional $150,000. As of December 15, 2018, this
commitment is no longer in effect.
On February 24, 2019, Mr. David Lucatz, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, participated in Micronet’s public equity
offering on the TASE. Mr. Lucatz purchased 1,980 units, with each unit consisting of 1,000 ordinary shares of Micronet and options to purchase 400 ordinary
shares of Micronet, at a price per unit of NIS 435 (approximately $123), for an aggregate investment of NIS 435,000 (approximately $123,000) by Mr. Lucatz. As
a result of this offering, the Company’s ownership and voting interests in Micronet were each diluted. Mr. Lucatz subsequently executed the Micronet Proxy.
Subject to, and upon closing of, the Acquisitions, MICT will agreed to issue to certain of its current and former directors, including its Chief Executive
Officer,/officers the following awards (i) our former director, Miki Balin, and two of our current directors, Chezy (Yehezkel) Ofir and Jeffrey P. Bialos, including
our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Lucatz, 300,000 options to purchase MICT common stock (1,200,000 options in the aggregate) with an exercise price
equal to the purchase price per share of Merger Sub stock which shall be granted as success bonuses under MICT’s existing 2012 and 2014 Stock Incentive Plans
or under the Merger Sub equity plan (including the Merger Sub Israeli sub-plan) and which shall be, converted into replacement options of MICT Replacement
Options (as described in Section 2.6(b) of the Acquisition Merger Agreement) and which, for the, avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the termination of the
employment or directorship of the, option holder, shall expire on the 15 month anniversary of the closing date); and (ii) up to an additional, 300,000 restricted
shares of MICT common stock, to be issued to officers and service providers of MICT.

Subject to, and upon closing of the Acquisition Agreement, the securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options will be in accordance with
the terms on which they were granted initially.
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility: 2018 – 37.30% 2019-48.61%; risk-free interest rate: 2018 – 2.81% 2019-2.6%; and expected
life: 2018- 6 years 2019-6.5 years.
The Company is required to assume a dividend yield as an input in the Black-Scholes model. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s historical
experience and expectation of future dividends payouts and may be subject to change in the future.
The Company uses historical volatility in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - stock compensation”. The computation of volatility uses
historical volatility derived from the Company’s exchange-traded shares.
The risk-free interest assumption is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds, issued with a remaining term equal to the expected
life term of the Company’s options.
Pre-vesting rates forfeitures were zero based on pre-vesting forfeiture experience.
The Company uses the simplified method to compute the expected option term for options granted.
During 2019, the board of the directors approved the grant of 30,000 options with exercise prices of $1.32, out of which 0 options expire during the year.

Offering of Convertible Note and Warrants
On June 4, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with BNN, subject to approval by the Nasdaq Stock Market
for as to the eligibility of the transaction, pursuant to which BNN agreed to purchase from us $2 million of convertible notes, which subscription amount shall be
subject to increase by up to an additional $1 million as determined by BNN and us (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes, which shall be

Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible) (the “Convertible Note Offering”). The Convertible Notes shall have a duration of two (2) years.
The Convertible Notes shall be convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Note Purchaser at any time and from time to time, and upon the issuance of one

Note Purchase Agreement provides for customary registration rights. The terms of the note purchase agreement were approved by Nasdaq Stock Market on July
31, 2019 and as a result the company issued the convertible notes along with the warrants.
The Note Warrants shall have an exercise price of $1.01 (subject to customary adjustment in the event of future stock dividends, splits and the like), and shall be

later of (a) 180 days after the closing by the Company of a change of control transaction, or (b) the company’s next debt or equity financing of at least $20 million.
On January 21, 2020, we entered into a Conversion Agreement with BNN, pursuant to which BNN agreed to convert the outstanding convertible note, issued on
July 31, 2019, into 1,818,181 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a stated value of $1.10 per
share (the “Series B Preferred”) (collectively, the “Conversion”). In accordance with the Conversion, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of
Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Preferred with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 21, 2020 to designate the rights and
preferences of up to 1,818,181 shares of Series B Preferred., see also note 19.

NOTE 17 — DISCONTINUED OPERATION
On December 31, 2017, the Company, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., or Enertec, previously our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Enertec Management Ltd., entered
into a Share Purchase Agreement, or the Share Purchase Agreement, with Coolisys Technologies Inc., or Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW Holdings, Inc., or DPW,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. As consideration for the sale of Enertec’s entire share capital,
Coolisys agreed to pay, at the closing of the transaction, a purchase price of $5,250 as well as assume up to $4,000 of Enertec debt. Enertec met the definition of a
component as defined by Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 205. The Company believes the sale represented a strategic shift in its business.
Accordingly, its assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale and the results of operations in the statement of operations and prior periods’ results have been
reclassified as a discontinued operation. On May 22, 2018, the Company closed on the sale, or the Closing, of all of the outstanding equity of Enertec pursuant to
the Share Purchase Agreement.
At the Closing, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4,700, of which 10% will be held in escrow for up to 14 months after the
Closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification claims (see below). Therefore, the Company has recorded such escrowed amount on its balance sheet as
restricted cash and a liability. The final consideration amount was adjusted, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, as a result of adjustments
relating to certain Enertec debts at the Closing. In addition, Coolisys also assumed approximately $4,000 of Enertec’s debt. The Company’s capital gain from the
sale of Enertec, based on the Company’s balance sheet at the closing date was approximately $6,800.
In conjunction with, and as a condition to, the closing of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company, Enertec, Coolisys, DPW and Mr. David Lucatz, the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, agreed to execute a consulting agreement, or the Consulting Agreement, whereby the Company, via Mr. Lucatz, will provide
Enertec with certain consulting and transitional services over a 3 year period as necessary and requested by the Coolisys (but in no event to exceed 20% of Mr.
Lucatz’s time). Coolisys (via Enertec) will pay the Company an annual consulting fee of $150,000 as well as issue the Company 150,000 restricted shares of DPW
Class A common stock, or the DPW Equity, for such services, to be vested and released from restriction in three equal installments, with the initial installment
vesting the day after the closing and the remaining installments vesting on each of the first 2 anniversaries of the closing. In the event of a change of control in the
Company, or if Mr. Lucatz shall no longer be employed by the Company, the rights and obligations under the Consulting Agreement shall be assigned to Mr.
Lucatz along with the DPW Equity.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Escrow Amount remains in escrow as a result of an indemnification claim by Coolisys alleging for certain
misrepresentations in the Share Purchase Agreement resulting in losses to Coolisys estimated by Coolisys at least US$4,000,000.
There is no ongoing litigation, the Company’s position is that here is no ground for this claim and the company currently preparing a response to Coolisys latest
notice.

NOTE 18 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In March 2017, MICT entered into an Investment Banking Agreement, or the Sunrise Agreement, with Sunrise Securities LLC and Trump Securities LLC, or
collectively, Sunrise, through Sunrise’s principal, Amnon Mandelbaum, pursuant to which Sunrise agreed to assist MICT in identifying, analyzing, structuring, and
negotiating suitable business opportunities, such as a sale of stock or assets, merger, tender offer, joint venture, financing arrangement, private placement, or any
similar transaction or combination thereof. The parties initially disagreed as to the amount of the fee that would be payable upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. There are also questions about the applicability of the Sunrise Agreement to the Acquisition, and it is thus not clear
whether or not Sunrise shall be owed any transaction fee upon the closing of the Acquisition. There can be no assurance that a settlement will be reached with
respect to this disagreement.
If Sunrise asserts a claim for fees and a settlement is not reached, it could result in litigation or other legal proceedings, which may cause MICT and/or GFH
(which, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shall be responsible for the settlement and payment of any claims brought under the Sunrise Agreement) to incur
substantial costs defending such dispute, and which could delay the closing of the Acquisition or result in the termination of the Merger Agreement.
NOTE 19 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 21, 2020, we entered into a Conversion Agreement with BNN, pursuant to which BNN agreed to convert the outstanding convertible note, issued on
July 31, 2019, into 1,818,181 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a stated value of $1.10 per
share (the “Series B Preferred”) (collectively, the “Conversion”). In accordance with the Conversion, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of
Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Preferred with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 21, 2020 to designate the rights and
preferences of up to 1,818,181 shares of Series B Preferred.
The Series B Preferred shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at any time after the Company shall have
received shareholder approval, and shall also convert automatically upon the occurrence of certain events, including the completion by the Company of a
fundamental transaction. The Series B Preferred shall be non-voting and non-redeemable.
As a result of (i) the Conversion and (ii) the recent receipt of $1,750,000 in connection with the sale and issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by and among the Company and certain purchasers
In connection with that certain previously disclosed Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Primary Purchase Agreement”) entered into on November 7, 2019 by
and among MICT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and certain investors identified therein (the “Primary Purchasers”), pursuant to which, among
other things, the Primary Purchasers agreed, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Primary Purchase Agreement, to purchase from the
Company certain 5% senior secured convertible debentures due 2020 (the “Primary Convertible Debentures”) with an aggregate principal amount of
approximately $15.9 million, the Company has entered into the following additional material definitive agreements. The Proceeds from the sale of the Primary
Convertible Debentures were funded on January 21, 2020 and placed in a separate blocked account that shall remain subject to a deposit account control agreement
until the closing of the Merger:

NOTE 19 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONT.)
Primary Security Agreement
On January 17, 2020, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the Primary Purchasers and the representative thereof, as collateral agent, entered into a security
agreement (the “Primary Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries granted to the Primary
Purchasers a first priority security interest in, a lien upon and a right of set-off against all of their personal property (subject to certain exceptions) to secure the
Primary Convertible Debentures.
Primary Registration Rights Agreement
On January 17, 2020, the Company and each of the Primary Purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Primary Registration Rights
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Primary Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to, among other things, (i) file a registration statement (the
“Resale Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within seven business days following the filing of an initial proxy
statement with respect to the contemplated merger by and among the Company, GFH Intermediate Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company, and MICT
Merger Subsidiary Inc., a to-be-formed British Virgin Islands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MICT (the “Merger”), for purposes of registering the
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Primary Convertible Debentures, and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to
be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than the effectiveness of the Merger. The Primary Registration Rights
Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including certain customary cash penalties on the Company for its failure to
satisfy the specified filing and effectiveness time periods.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Exhibit 4.13
Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate”), of MICT, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company is authorized to issue up to
twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and five million (5,000,000) shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).
The following is a summary of some of the terms of the Company’s Common Stock, which is the Company’s only class of securities registered under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MICT.” This
summary is not complete, and is subject to and qualified by the provisions of the Company’s Certificate and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the
“Bylaws”). The terms of the Common Stock are also subject to and qualified by the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the “DGCL”).
Common Stock
Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. Our Certificate does not provide for cumulative voting. Holders of our Common Stock
are entitled to receive dividends, if any, ratably, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. Upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of or
provision for all liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding Preferred Stock. The holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,
redemption or conversion rights. The Company does not have a classified board of directors. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the
Common Stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Certificate and Bylaws
Certain provisions of the Company’s Certificate and Bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing another party from acquiring or
seeking to acquire control of the Company. For example, the Company’s Articles and Bylaws include provisions that:
●
provide our board of directors with the ability to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock and to determine the rights, preferences and
privileges of such shares, without stockholder approval;
●
●
●
provide our board of directors with the ability, in certain circumstances, to alter our bylaws without stockholder approval;
provide our board of directors with the exclusive authority to fix the number of directors constituting the whole board; and
provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by a majority of directors in office, although less than a quorum.
In addition, our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may use
additional shares of Common Stock for a variety of purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital or as compensation to third party service
providers. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock could render more difficult, or discourage, an attempt to obtain control of us by
means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Such provisions may have the effect of discouraging a third-party from acquiring us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These
provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in its policies, and to discourage some
types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change in control of our Company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an
unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage some tactics that may be used in proxy fights. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our
potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our Company outweigh the disadvantages of
discouraging such proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. However, these provisions
could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. These provisions
also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

Delaware Law
We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL (“Section 203”). This provision generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business
combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
●
●
●
prior to such date, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder;
upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85%
of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares
outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have
the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual meeting or special meeting of
stockholders and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested
stockholder.
Section 203 defines a business combination to include:
●
●
●
●
●
any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested
stockholder;
any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation
beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the
corporation.
