Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment” ) amends Item 9.01 of, and the exhibits to, the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company” ) on October 16, 2017 (the “Original Report” ) for the purposes of filing as Exhibit 2.1 the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2017, by and between the Company, Mitek Holding B.V., and the shareholders of ICAR Vision Systems, S.L., referenced in Item 2.01 of the Original Report. In addition, the Company indicated in Item 2.01 of the Original Report that Exhibit 2.1 would be filed by amendment, so this Amendment revises Item 2.01 to reflect that the exhibit has been filed with this Amendment.

Except as described in the foregoing paragraph, this Amendment does not amend any other item of the Original Report or purport to provide an update or a discussion of any developments at the Company subsequent to the filing of the Original Report. All information contained in the Original Report is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” ) subsequent to the date on which the Original Report was filed.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 16, 2017, Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Purchase Agreement (as defined below). The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is hereby incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 16, 2017 (the “Closing Date” ), Mitek Holding B.V., a company incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ( “Mitek Holding B.V.” ), acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of ICAR Vision Systems, S.L. ( “ICAR” ), a company incorporated under the laws of Spain (the “Acquisition” ) and each of its subsidiaries, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement” ), by and among, the Company, Mitek Holding B.V. and each of the shareholders of ICAR (the “ Sellers ”). Upon completion of the Acquisition, ICAR became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Mitek Holding B.V. and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

As consideration for the Acquisition, the Company paid an aggregate purchase price of up to EUR 12,750,000, comprised of: (i) a cash payment to Sellers of EUR 3,506,250, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses, escrow amounts, indebtedness, and working capital adjustments (the “Cash Payment” ); and (ii) the issuance to Sellers of 584,291 shares (approximately EUR 4,781,250) of the Company’s common stock (the “Closing Shares” ), par value $0.001 per share ( “Common Stock” ). In addition to the foregoing, the Sellers may be entitled to additional cash consideration upon achievement of certain milestones as follows: (a) subject to achievement of the revenue target for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company will pay to Sellers up to an aggregate of EUR 1,275,000 (the “Q4 Consideration” ), which amount shall be deposited (as additional funds) into the escrow fund described below, and (b) subject to achievement of certain revenue and net income targets for ICAR for the twelve-month period ending on September 30, 2018, and the twelve-month period ending on September 30, 2019, the Company will pay to Sellers up to an aggregate of EUR 3,187,500 in additional cash consideration (the “Earnout Consideration” ); provided that if the revenue target set forth in clause (a) is not met, then the Q4 Consideration will instead be added to the Earnout Consideration payable upon (and subject to) achievement of the revenue and net income targets for the twelve-month period ending on September 30, 2018.

On the Closing Date, the Company deposited EUR 1,275,000 of the Cash Payment into an escrow fund to serve as collateral and partial security for working capital adjustments and certain indemnification rights. As described above, the Q4 Consideration, if earned, will also be deposited into the escrow fund. The escrow fund will be maintained for up to 24 months following the completion of the Acquisition or until such earlier time as the escrow fund is exhausted.

The Company used cash on hand for the Cash Payment paid on the Closing Date, and under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Mitek Holding B.V. thereunder.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is hereby incorporated in this Item 3.02 by reference.

The Closing Shares that were issued to the Sellers were issued in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act” ), pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
