MICT Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2019

MONTVALE, N.J., Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MICT, Inc. (Nasdaq: MICT), today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

MICT's financial results for the first two quarters of 2019 include Micronet, Ltd. revenues for the months of January 2019 and February 2019 only. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange which resulted in a dilution of MICT's ownership interest in Micronet to 33.88%. As of June 30, 2019, MICT has a 39.53% voting stake in Micronet. Thus, based on U.S. GAAP, MICT no longer includes Micronet's financial results in its consolidated financial statements effective as of March 1, 2019.

"We are continuing to pursue the BNN Technology acquisition, and are pleased to have entered into definitive agreements relating to MICT's largest series of funding to date pursuant to which the Company agreed with certain investors to raise a total of at least $9 million, of which $7.25 million has been received and the remaining $1.75 million is expected in the next six weeks.  As part of this series of financings, which consisted of dual offerings by MICT to separate investors to purchase convertible notes and preferred stock, respectively, BNN invested $2 million in MICT through a convertible note to replace our existing creditor instruments on more favorable terms. Micronet, in which MICT holds a 39.53% voting stake, is showing strength, with $3.6 million in sales contracts with current customers, which we believe is a clear sign of confidence and satisfaction from its customer base," stated David Lucatz, Chief Executive Officer of MICT.
