BNN Technology PLC Announces Termination of Tender Offer for Shares of MICT Common Stock

NEW YORK, June 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BNN Technology PLC ("BNN") today announced that it has terminated its previously announced tender offer to purchase up to 1,953,423 shares of the common stock of MICT, Inc. (NASDAQ: MICT) ("MICT") at a purchase price of $1.65 per share, net to the seller, in cash. The tender offer was made in accordance with the acquisition agreement, dated as of December 18, 2018, between BNN, MICT and other parties thereto (the "Acquisition Agreement"), and was due to expire at 5:00 p.m. EDT, on Friday, June 7, 2019.

BNN's obligation to purchase the shares of common stock of MICT pursuant to the tender offer was subject to various terms and conditions specified in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and distributed to MICT's stockholders, including a condition that neither MICT nor its subsidiaries has proposed the issuance or sale of any additional equity securities other than as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement (the "Offer Condition"). On June 4, 2019, MICT entered into a securities purchase agreement with a group of investors pursuant to which MICT agreed to issue shares of preferred stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock to the investors in a private placement (the "Investment"). As a result of the Investment, the Offer Condition has not been satisfied and therefore BNN has exercised its right to terminate the tender offer.

No shares were purchased by BNN in the tender offer and all shares previously tendered but not withdrawn will be promptly returned.

This communication constitutes a formal termination of the tender offer, and a formal notification that BNN will not accept for purchase any shares of common stock of MICT tendered in connection with the tender offer. This communication is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of MICT or any other securities.
