Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Merger Agreement
As previously disclosed, on November 8, 2018, FC Global Realty
Incorporated (“FC Global”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with FC
Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FC Global (“FC Merger Sub”), Gadsden Growth
Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Gadsden”) and Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership,
pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, FC Merger Sub will merge with and into Gadsden,
with Gadsden surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FC Global (the “Merger”). As previously disclosed,
on December 27, 2018, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger to amend certain provisions of the
Merger Agreement described therein.
On January 14, 2019, FC Global and Gadsden entered into a
letter agreement to further amend the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, Gadsden (i) consented
to the Acquisition described below in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Merger Agreement; (ii) consented, in accordance
with Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Merger Agreement, to FC Global’s use of $350,000 of its cash on hand to pay down its accrued
expenses; (iii) agreed that instead of requiring FC Global to have $1.5 million in unrestricted cash at the closing of the Merger
(the “Closing”) in accordance with Section 6.3(k) of the Merger Agreement, it shall only require FC Global to have
$800,000 of unrestricted cash at the Closing; (iv) acknowledged that FC Global owes to its board of directors accrued board fees
in the approximate amount of $500,000 and agreed to pay one-half of all accrued board fees immediately upon consummation of the
Merger and the balance of such accrued board fees in equal monthly installments over a six-month period following the consummation
of the Merger; and (v) agreed that in calculating the Closing NAV (as defined in the Merger Agreement), FC Global will receive
full credit for $1.5 million of unrestricted cash so long as it holds at least $800,000 of unrestricted cash at the Closing. For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties agreed that if FC Global has $800,000 of unrestricted cash at the Closing, FC Global is given
full credit for $1.5 million of unrestricted cash as described above, the value of FC Global’s interest in Roseville (as
defined below) from the Acquisition will not be counted toward the calculation of Closing NAV of FC Global as of the Closing, and
the value of FC Global’s interest in Roseville from the Acquisition shall not reduce the Closing NAV of Gadsden as of the
Closing.
Purchase of Roseville Series A Preferred Units
On January 14, 2019, FC Global purchased 1,000 Series A Preferred
Units of Gadsden Roseville, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Roseville”), for a purchase price of $350,000
(the “Acquisition”), in accordance with an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Roseville (the
“LLC Agreement”), entered into among Roseville, Gadsden Realty Investments I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gadsden
(“Gadsden Investments”), and FC Global, on January 14, 2019. Gadsden Investments, the other member of Roseville, owns
1,000 Common Units. Roseville is the sole owner of a parcel of approximately 9.6 acres of land located on Roseville Road in Sacramento,
California that is entitled for the development of approximately 65 small lot single family detached homes.
The Series A Preferred Units entitle FC Global to priority
distribution rights. In accordance with the LLC Agreement, Net Cash Flow (as defined in the LLC Agreement) is distributed among
the members as follows: (i) first, to FC Global, an amount equal to the Series A Preferred Return then accrued and payable; (ii)
second, to FC Global, an amount equal to its Unreturned Capital; and (iii) then, to Gadsden Investments. “Series A Preferred
Return” means an amount equal to a return that accrued on the capital contributions of FC Global at 15% per annum compounded
annually; provided, however, that if FC Global has not received an amount equal to its Unreturned Capital on or prior to May 14,
2019, then from and after such date, the Series A Preferred Return shall accrue on its capital contributions at 25% per annum compounded
annually. “Unreturned Capital” means an amount equal to FC Global’s aggregate capital contributions less the
aggregate distributions made to FC Global.
Roseville is managed by two managers - one designated by
FC Global and one designated by Gadsden Investments. The current managers are Michael R. Stewart, FC Global’s Chief Executive
Officer, and John Hartman, Gadsden’s Chief Executive Officer. Except as otherwise provided in the LLC Agreement, actions
by Roseville require the unanimous consent of the two managers.
The foregoing description of the Amendment and the LLC Agreement
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits
2.3 and 10.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
