On July 2, 2018, Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with respect to the following transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated to be entered into by and among the Company, BNN Technology PLC, a leading technology, content and services company (“BNN”), and an unrelated third party that is a leading platform as a service provider of transaction technology (the “Third Party”):
● | BNN will seek to acquire, through a third-party cash tender offer at a price of at least $1.65, an additional approximately 35% stake in the Company (in addition to the 14.89% stake acquired on June 21, 2018), with a view to owning in aggregate at least 50.1% of the company’s issued shares. |
● | Both BNN and the Third Party shall be acquired by the Company in exchange for cash and the issuance of securities. The Third Party acquisition is pursuant to a Heads of Terms, which BNN has previously entered into with the Third Party. |
● | All of the shares of Micronet Tel Aviv held by the Company will be spun off to the Company’s shareholders that remain shareholders after the completion of the tender offer. Micronet Tel Aviv is a publicly traded Israeli company (TASE: MCRNl.TA) that is 49.89% owned by the Company. |
● | The Company will raise a minimum of between $26-$36 million from major global institutional investors. |
The LOI is intended to express only a mutual indication of interest in the Transactions and does not represent a legally binding commitment or obligation on the part of the parties, and there can be no assurances that the Transactions will be consummated. As a result of the Transactions, it is contemplated that the Company will own BNN and the Third Party.
