MICT Announces Rebranding and Name Change to Tingo Group, Inc.
25 February 2023 - 12:30AM
MICT, Inc. (NASDAQ: MICT) (“MICT” or the “Company”) announced today
that it is changing its name to Tingo Group, Inc. effective prior
to the market open on Monday, February 27, 2023. The ticker symbol
“MICT” will change to “TIO” and the stock will continue to trade on
the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In conjunction with the change of name and
ticker, the Company will launch a new Investor Relations website in
the coming days, at tingogroup.com, which will be complemented by a
corporate website in the near future.
Darren Mercer, Chief Executive Officer
of MICT, commented: “The Tingo brand is extremely
important to the business, not only as Africa’s leading
agri-fintech solution, but also as a Pan-Africa fintech partner to
Visa, through TingoPay, and in connection with the recently
launched businesses of Tingo Foods and the Tingo DMCC commodities
platform and export business. The Company’s change of name reflects
this and also provides improved clarity to our external
stakeholders, including current and prospective partners,
customers, and investors.
“The Company is in the process of pivoting its
insurance and financial services businesses to compliment the Tingo
brand and leverage Tingo’s fast growing customer base through the
addition of new products with significant new income streams.
Taking this into account, together with the expected considerable
growth in consolidated group revenues and profitability in 2023 and
beyond, we believe it is important to unify the Company through a
single corporate identity reflected through a single global
brand.”
