(the “Note”), dated February 8, 2021 with YA II PN, Ltd. with a principal amount of $80,000,000 (the “Principal”).
On August 2, 2021, the Company paid off the $81,551,781 of Principal and interest due pursuant to the Note. The Note had a fixed conversion
price of $4.95 and a maturity date of August 8, 2021.
On July 29, 2021, the Company
entered into an Investment Agreement with Prettl Electronics Automotive GMBH (the “Investment Agreement”), a limited liability
company under the laws of Germany (“Prettl”). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement the Company agreed to invest $9,000,000
in exchange for a 30% ownership in Prettl. Prettl is a business unit within the Prettl Group, a large German industrial company that manufactures
and distributes components and systems for the automotive, energy, and electronics industries. In connection with the Investment Agreement,
the Company entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement with Prettl and Prettl Electronics GmbH (the “Shareholders Agreement”,
together with the Investment Agreement, referred to collectively herein as the “Agreements”). The Company will also receive
exclusive sales and distribution rights for Prettl charging infrastructure products and solutions in North America. Alfred Poor, Chief
Executive Officer of the Company will join Prettl’s Board of Directors. The Agreements contain customary representations, warranties,
covenants, indemnities, information rights, transfer restrictions and anti-dilution rights of the parties.

8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
The
Company’s subsidiary, Timios Holdings Corp. (“Timios”) experienced a systems outage that was caused by a cybersecurity
incident. Timios has engaged leading forensic information technology firms and legal counsel to assist its investigation into the incident
and is working around the clock to get its system back up as quickly as possible. Although Timios is actively managing this cybersecurity
incident, it has caused and may continue to cause a delay or disruption to parts of Timios’ business, including its ability
to perform its mortgage title, closing and escrow services offerings. The Company is in the early stages of assessing the financial impact
of the incident. Based on the information currently known, the Company is unable to predict at this time whether revenues will be materially
impacted by this attack.

statements include, but are not limited to, statements as to future results of operations, express or implied statements relating to
the Company’s expectations regarding its ability to contain and assess the cybersecurity incident and the impact of the
incident on the Company’s business, operations and financial condition. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied include the ongoing assessment of the cybersecurity incident; legal, reputational and
financial risks resulting from the cybersecurity incident or additional cyberattacks; the effectiveness of business continuity plans
during the cybersecurity incident; and the other factors set forth in Ideanomics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
