Buyer and Seller are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties”.
WHEREAS, Seller is the legal and beneficial owner of an aggregate of 2,597,200 shares (the “Seller Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), equal to approximately 29.84% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of the date hereof;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual promises, agreements and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale.
(a) Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and upon the representations, warranties and covenants herein made, Seller shall transfer, sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, all of the Purchased Shares for a price per share of US$1.65, or US$2,248,950 in the aggregate (the “Purchase Price”), free and clear of all liens, agreements, security interests, claims, charges and encumbrances of any kind and nature (“Encumbrances”).
(b) Closing. The closing of the purchase of the Purchased Shares by Buyer shall occur on the date hereof or such other date and time as agreed between the Parties, and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 4(a) and 4(b) hereof (the “Closing”).
(c) Payment; Closing Deliveries. At the Closing, in consideration of its acquisition of the Purchased Shares from Seller, Buyer hereby agrees to deliver to Seller the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller, less the amount of $US157,426 to be wired to an account designated in writing by Sunrise Securities LLC (“Sunrise”) for services rendered by Sunrise to the Seller.

(d) Buyer is acquiring the Purchased Shares for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing the same, in violation of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, rules and regulations. Buyer understands that the Purchased Shares are being offered and will be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon Buyer’s representations contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, that Buyer is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Buyer does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any of the Purchased Shares.

Buyer understands that no person or entity (including, without limitation, Seller, the Company or its officers or directors) has been authorized to provide any information not otherwise publicly available and Buyer has not relied on any other representations or information in making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Company, its operations and/or its prospects.

Buyer is aware that the Purchased Shares will bear a customary restrictive legend evidencing the restricted nature of the Purchased Shares.
4

The obligations of Buyer to buy the Purchased Securities and otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction on or prior to the Closing of the following conditions precedent, any one or more of which may be waived by the Buyer:
(i) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties by Seller in Section 2 hereof shall be true and accurate in all respects as of the date hereof and as of the date of the Closing.

(b) Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations. The obligations of Seller to sell the Purchased Securities and otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction on or prior to the Closing of the following conditions precedent, any one or more of which may be waived by Seller:
(i) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties by Buyer in Section 3 hereof shall be true and accurate in all respects as of the date hereof and as of the date of the Closing.
5
(ii) Performance. Buyer shall have performed and complied with all agreements, covenants and conditions contained herein required to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing.
(iii) Consents. Buyer shall have obtained any and all consents, permits, approvals, registrations and waivers that shall be necessary or required by it for the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares.
5. Post Closing Matters.
(a) The Seller has been informed that immediately following the purchase of the 1,363,000 shares, the Buyer will make a proposal to the Board of the Company containing various actions that will require future Board and shareholder approval. Such actions, which are expected to take place within 90 days would include:
(i) a proposal to merge subsidiaries of the Company with the Buyer, as well as a second entity, a British Virgin Islands company, in a reverse merger with the Company remaining as the parent company. Concurrently the Buyer will obtain additional capital:
(ii) a cash tender offer for an additional 35.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at a price of $1.65 per share, the price to be paid to Seller, conditioned on the approval of Company’s Board to permit Buyer to exceed the 15 percent ownership limits under Section 203 of the Delaware law; and
(iii) the dividending of the current business of the Company promptly after the reverse merger to the pre-reverse merger shareholders of the Company who do not participate in the tender offer and who wish to retain such investment.
6. Indemnification.
(a) In connection with the sale of the Purchased Shares, the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its controlling person (collectively the “Indemnified Persons”), from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings (including those of shareholders), damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by any of the Indemnified Persons (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), (collectively a “Claim”), which are directly related to or arise out of (i) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Buyer in connection with the Buyer’s purchase of the Purchased Shares, or (ii) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Person in connection with the Buyer’s purchase of the Purchased Shares, and Buyer shall reimburse any Indemnified Person for all reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, action, suit or proceeding in which any Indemnified Person is a party. The Buyer will not, however, be responsible for any Claim, which is finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any person seeking indemnification for such Claim, including any of the Indemnified Persons. The Buyer further agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to the Buyer for or in connection with the sale of the Purchased Shares except for any Claim incurred by the Buyer as a result of such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
6
(i) The Buyer further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Seller, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such Claim), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional, irrevocable release of each Indemnified Person from any and all liability arising out of such Claim.
(ii) Promptly upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any complaint or the assertion or institution of any Claim with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall notify the Buyer in writing of such complaint or of such assertion or institution, but failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Buyer from any obligation it may have hereunder, except and only to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Company of substantial rights and defenses. If the Buyer so elects or is requested by such Indemnified Person, the Buyer will assume the defense of such Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person and the payment of the fees and expenses of such counsel. In the event, however, that legal counsel to such Indemnified Person reasonably determines that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the defendant in, or target of, any such Claim, includes an Indemnified Person and the Buyer, and legal counsel to such Indemnified Person reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Persons different from or in addition to those available to the Buyer, then such Indemnified Person may employ its own separate counsel to represent or defend him, her or it in any such Claim and the Buyer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Buyer fails timely or diligently to defend, contest, or otherwise protect against any Claim, the relevant Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, contest, compromise, settle, assert cross-claims, or counterclaims or otherwise protect against the same, and shall be fully indemnified by the Buyer therefor, including without limitation, for the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and all amounts paid as a result of such Claim or the compromise or settlement thereof. In addition, with respect to any Claim in which the Buyer assumes the defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such Claim and to retain his, her or its own counsel therefor at his, her or its own expense.
(iii) The Buyer’s indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations under this Agreement (a) shall be in addition to, and shall in no way limit or otherwise adversely affect any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at law or at equity and (b) shall be effective whether or not the Buyer is at fault in any way.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous verbal and written agreements, promises or understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Gentlemen:
As you know, on June 21, 2018, BNN Technology PLC (the “Company” or “BNN”) purchased 1,363,000 shares of Micronet Enertec Technologies (including its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Micronet”) common stock from D.L. Capital Ltd, an entity controlled by David Lucatz, Micronet’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. This Letter of Intent (“Letter of Intent”) outlines the general terms and conditions pursuant to which BNN, or any of its affiliates, proposes to sell certain to-be-identified assets to Micronet as set forth in the proposed terms and conditions in Exhibit A hereto (the “Proposed Transaction”). This proposal is subject to the terms and conditions of this Letter of Intent, including the negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable definitive agreement governing the Proposed Transaction (the “Definitive Agreement”).
This Letter of Intent is intended to express only a mutual indication of interest in the Proposed Transaction and does not represent any legally binding commitment or obligation on the part of the parties with respect to the Proposed Transaction, except with respect to following items “Items” set forth in Exhibit A: Governing Law & Jurisdiction, Exclusivity and Termination, Confirmatory Due Diligence, Confidentiality, Transaction Costs, and no party hereto will assert otherwise. Any such agreement by the parties shall only be provided for in a Definitive Agreement mutually agreed upon and executed by the parties.
As provided in Exhibit A, BNN is proposing to, amongst certain other terms and conditions to:
1. | Have a subsidiary of Micronet purchase certain assets (the “Reverse Merger”) from each of BNN and a third party, which is a transaction technology platform (“Third Party”), in exchange for cash and the issuance of shares of common stock of Micronet; |
2. | Commence a third party cash tender offer of at least $1.65 per share for up to an additional approximately 35.2% of the Micronet’s outstanding shares of common stock as of the date hereof (the “Tender Offer”) so that following the Tender Offer BNN would own in the aggregate at least 50.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Micronet; |
3. | Permit current stockholders of Micronet to choose to retain their common stock or participate in the Tender Offer. Following the Reverse Merger, Micronet will spin-off its current assets to all Micronet stockholders who held common stock post-Tender Offer, but pre-Reverse Merger, thereby allowing all such stockholders to retain the entire value of the current assets of Micronet, as well as receiving the additional value in the post-Reverse Merger company. |

Reverse Merger and Parent Public Company Name: | Subject to legal and accounting structuring advice, a reverse merger in which two new wholly owned subsidiaries of Micronet formed for purposes of the transaction (“Merger Sub”) will each merge with and into one of the OPCOs, with the OPCOs surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Micronet, the parent company (the “Parent Public Company”) with a public listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Reverse Merger”). Alternatively, BNN and the Third Party may sell (by way of asset sale or stock sale) discrete subsidiaries, businesses or divisions of BNN or the Third Party to Micronet or Merger Sub (such alternative transaction structure is equally referred to herein as the “Reverse Merger”). The name of the Parent Public Company shall be changed at the closing of the Reverse Merger (the “Reverse Merger Closing”) to a name more identifiable with the post-Reverse Merger Closing company. |

TERM SHEET & ASSET SALE PROPOSAL FOR
MICRONET ENERTEC, INC.
Upon the Reverse Merger Closing, the pre-Reverse Merger stockholders of Micronet, but post-Tender Offer stockholders (the “Micronet Stockholders”) shall retain such number of shares (the “Micronet Shares”) of common stock of the post-transaction Parent Public Company equal to, subject to due diligence and discussion of outstanding exercisable or convertible securities, warrants and options, an equity valuation of approximately $15.1 million on a post-Reverse Merger basis of the Parent Public Company (the “Public Company Stock”) upon the Closing Date (referred herein). This calculation assumes that at the Closing of the Reverse Merger there is no outstanding debt of any kind of Micronet.
BNN Consideration
The consideration to be paid at Closing to BNN will be comprised of shares of Public Company Stock with a value based on the aggregate enterprise value of the BNN business being sold, calculated, subject to diligence, as ~$118.4 million, minus the assumption of ~$8.4 million of expected convertible debt plus ~$20.0 million of expected cash and cash equivalents, resulting in an aggregate equity value of the Public Company Stock to be issued to BNN of approximately $130.0 million (the “BNN Equity Value”). BNN shall be issued Public Company Stock (the “BNN Shares”) in connection with the Reverse Merger in the amount of the BNN Equity Value.
The BNN Shares shall consist of shares of the Parent Public Company that are duly authorized, validly issued, non-assessable, unrestricted and without legends, free from all liens, taxes and charges. The number of BNN Shares to be issued shall be derived by dividing (i) the BNN Equity Value by (ii) the negotiated value per share of common stock of Micronet (the “Micronet Valuation”).
Third Party Consideration
The consideration to be paid to the Third Party will be based on a total enterprise value of the Third Party business being sold, subject to diligence, of $162.0 million. |

Upon the execution of the Definitive Agreements, Micronet (in conjunction with BNN and its Representatives (as defined below)) will raise approximately $26.0M - $36.0M (to be held in escrow) from both existing BNN investors and new investors in a private placement, with attached registration rights, if necessary (the “PIPE”). The PIPE will take the form of equity, equity-linked and/or convertible promissory notes with customary terms to be negotiated (the “PIPE Securities”). The closing of the PIPE and the release of the PIPE proceeds will be subject to stockholder approval and the meeting of all of the closing conditions of the Definitive Agreements. At the closing of the PIPE, the proceeds from the issuance of the PIPE Securities will be used (a) to pay the Additional Third Party Cash (As defined below), (b) to pay fees and expenses related to the PIPE Securities and (c) for working capital purposes of the post-Reverse Merger company. The holders of the PIPE Securities will not participate in the spin-off. The securities issued in the PIPE will dilute the stockholders of the Company, the Third Party and Micronet pro rata based on their respective valuations.
Upon Closing, the consideration to be paid to the Third Party will include (a) approximately $28.0 million from the proceeds of the PIPE (the “Initial Third Party Cash”), (b) an additional cash payment of up to $22.0 million from the balance sheet of BNN (the “Additional Third Party Cash”), (c) the issuance of either a convertible note or convertible preferred stock to the Third Party in an amount equal to approximately $22.0 million (the “Third Party Convertible Security”) and (d) shares of Public Company Stock with a value based on the net enterprise value of the Third Party business being sold, calculated, subject to diligence, as $162.0 million (the total enterprise value), minus the value of the Initial Third Party Cash, minus the Additional Third Party Cash, minus the value of the Third Party Convertible Security and plus $0.0 million of expected cash on hand, resulting in an aggregate equity value of the Public Company Stock to be issued to the Third Party of approximately $90.0 million (the “Third Party Equity Value”). The Third Party will be delivered with a zero debt balance. The Third Party shall be issued Public Company Stock (the “Third Party Shares”) in connection with the Reverse Merger in the amount of the Third Party Equity Value.
The Third Party Shares shall consist of shares of the Parent Public Company that are duly authorized, validly issued, non-assessable, unrestricted and without legends, free from all liens, taxes and charges. The number of Third Party Shares to be issued shall be derived by dividing (i) the Third Party Equity Value by (ii) the Micronet Valuation.

BNN Technology PLC and MICT Announce a Strategic Transaction
On June 21st, 2018, BNN Technology PLC (BNN) acquired a 14.89 percent stake in Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQCM: MICT). Following this acquisition, BNN and MICT are pleased to jointly announce the execution of a Letter of Intent to enter into a series of strategic transactions.
Specifically, the Letter of Intent between BNN and MICT outlines the following proposed transactions:
· | BNN will seek to acquire, through a third-party cash tender offer at a price of at least $1.65 (the price per share BNN paid to a MICT shareholder to purchase the 14.89%), an additional approximately 35% stake in MICT, with a view to owning in aggregate at least 50.1% of the company’s issued shares. |
· | Both BNN and an unrelated Third Party, a leading Platform as a Service (PaaS) provider of transaction technology, shall be acquired by MICT in exchange for cash and the issuance of shares. The Third-Party acquisition is pursuant to a Heads of Terms, which BNN has previously entered into with the Third Party. The overall combined entity will be cash flow positive. |
· | All of the shares of Micronet Tel Aviv currently held by MICT would be spun off to MICT shareholders that remain shareholders of MICT after the tender offer. Micronet Tel Aviv is a publicly traded Tel Aviv company (TASE:MCRNl.TA) owned 49.89% by MICT. |
· | MICT will raise a minimum of between $26 -$36 million from major global institutional investors. |
As a result of the contemplated transactions, MICT, a publicly traded NASDAQ company, would own BNN and the Third Party, and would have a sizable valuation that offers shareholders in each entity an attractive opportunity for the future.
These transactions are subject to diligence by the parties, the negotiation of definitive agreements and approval by the respective BNN and MICT Boards of Directors and MICT’s shareholders.
BNN is a UK registered technology, content and services company with a focus on the Chinese market, and MICT is a developer, manufacturer and provider of mobile computing platforms for the mobile logistics management market in the US, Europe and Israel.
Commenting on the proposed transaction, Darren Mercer, Executive Director of BNN Technology PLC, said:
“We are excited at the opportunity to announce a potential transformative event for all shareholders involved with the pending transactions. We feel that the proposed tri-party transaction will accelerate the next phase of growth and value creation for all shareholders. The combination with a leading Platform as a Service (PaaS) provider of transaction technology will facilitate the monetization of BNN’s China business. The further combination with MICT will help to expedite our collective organic and inorganic growth plans. We believe this is a compelling opportunity and we will work tirelessly with all parties to close the transaction in the next few months.”
1 |
David Lucatz, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of MICT, added:
“The strategic transaction that we are intending to undertake with BNN marks a major step in the evolution of our group and we strongly believe that it will contribute significantly to the growth of MICT. We are extremely excited at the opportunity to partner with BNN and the Third-Party technology platform company and the value proposition these strong companies present for our shareholders.
We
believe that this strategic transaction is uniquely structured and will potentially unlock value for the benefit of existing MICT
shareholders by providing them a combined partial cash offer at a significant premium to the current market price in conjunction
with diversification through a merger into a new fast-growing business segment while at the same time enabling them to keep their
holdings in MICT’ main asset (shareholding in the subsidiary Micronet) through the proposed spinoff.
We look forward to working with these management teams to complete the transaction.”
