CryptoNewsBreaks – Tingo Inc. (TMNA), MICT Inc. (NASDAQ: MICT) Enter Merger Agreement for Acquisition

Tingo (OTC: TMNA), a leading agri-fintech business in Africa, and MICT Inc. (NASDAQ: MICT), have signed a merger agreement outlining plans for MICT to acquire 100% of the operating business and assets of Tingo. According to the announcement, the new merger with the accompanying MICT funding should expedite the launch of Tingo’s food-produce export business; existing high-margin and material export contracts will allow a substantial portion of Tingo’s revenues to shift directly into U.S. dollars. In an amendment, the two companies accelerated and restated the original agreement and merger plan. The transaction will also support the acceleration of the development and launch of Tingo’s commodity platform and commodity trading business. Tingo offers its customers an array of technology-backed solutions and platforms designed to increase digital inclusion and financial empowerment, particularly within the farming sector, with the end goal of helping farmers increase crop yields, reduce crop wastage, improve margins and contribute toward solving the global problem of food security. The transaction involves MICT acquiring 100% of TMNA’s operating business and assets at the initial closing of the transaction in return for the issuance by MICT of a combination of 19.9% of MICT’s common stock and two series of convertible preference shares, which, if fully converted by Tingo and all conversion conditions are met, would result in Tingo owning 75% of MICT. “The Board of MICT and I are extremely excited about the tremendous prospects and opportunities arising from this new transaction,” said MICT CEO Darren Mercer in the press release. “It will have an immediate material positive impact on the income, earnings and balance sheet of MICT from the date of initial closing, which is expected to occur during November 2022, following the receipt of Tingo’s stockholder approval, in relation to which voting support agreements have been received covering approximately 70% of Tingo’s issued common stock. Tingo has clearly demonstrated its capabilities and technology, and its operating business is now extremely well positioned to expand globally, including through its upcoming new business streams and product launches.”
