Important Information About the Transactions and Where to Find It
MICT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MICT”
or the “Company”), has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration
statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), which includes a proxy statement of MICT, and a prospectus
in connection with the proposed business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) involving MICT and Tingo,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Tingo”). The definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents will be mailed to
stockholders of MICT as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. Stockholders of MICT and other interested
persons are advised to read, the preliminary proxy statement, and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement in connection
with MICT’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting to be held to approve the Business Combination because these documents
will contain important information about MICT, Tingo and the Business Combination. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of
the Registration Statement and the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Participants in the Solicitation
MICT and Tingo and certain of their respective
directors, executive officers, other members of management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation
of proxies from the stockholders of MICT in favor of the approval of the Business Combination.
Additional information regarding the interests
of such potential participants are also included in the Registration Statement and other relevant documents when they are filed with the
SEC. Free copies of these documents may be obtained as described in the preceding paragraph.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made herein contain, and certain
oral statements made by representatives of MICT and Tingo and their respective affiliates, from time to time may contain, “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
MICT’s and Tingo’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should
not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,”
“project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,”
“may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,”
“might” and “continues,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, MICT’s and Tingo’s expectations with respect to future performance
and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination
and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of MICT or
Tingo and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any
event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement (as defined below); (2) the inability
to complete the Business Combination, including due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of MICT or Tingo or other conditions
to closing in the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of MICT’s common stock on Nasdaq following
the Business Combination; (4) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Tingo or MICT as a result
of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (5) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business
Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth
economically and hire and retain key employees; (7) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to inability to obtain regulatory
approval; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that MICT or Tingo may be adversely affected by other economic,
business, and/or competitive factors; and (11) the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on any of the foregoing risks and other risks
and uncertainties to be identified in the proxy statement/prospectus (when available) relating to the Business Combination, including
those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by MICT. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive.
Readers are referred to the most recent reports filed with the SEC by MICT. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. MICT and Tingo undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, subject to applicable law.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits
hereto do not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business
Combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities,
nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior
to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by
means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously disclosed, on June 15, 2022, the Company and Tingo entered
into an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) amending the original merger agreement among the parties
dated May 10, 2022 (the “Original Agreement”).
Incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference is the press release issued
by the Company on November 9, 2022 announcing that it is scheduled to complete its acquisition of the operating business and assets of
Tingo, Inc. prior to November 30, 2022, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 the (“Press Release”).
The Press Release is intended to be furnished and
shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall the Press Release be deemed incorporated by reference
in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
