Item 2.04.        Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

  

On March 13, 2020, MICT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) received a notice of exercise of remedies (the “Notice”) from Stadium Parkgate (Holdings) Limited, Mark Edwin Healey, Christopher James Dean, Simon John Foy, Scott Jonathan Fletcher and Michael Burgess (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2019, as amended, by and between the Company and the Purchasers (the “SPA”) and (ii) the six Debentures (as defined in the SPA) with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $15.9 million (the “Outstanding Principle”) issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the SPA on January 17, 2020. The terms of the SPA and the Debentures are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 13, 2019 (the “Current Report”). The Notice advises that two Triggering Events (as defined in the SPA) have occurred and are continuing as a result of the failure by the Company (a) to file with the SEC a registration statement by January 30, 2020 as required by Section 2(a) of that certain registration rights agreement by and between the Purchasers and the Company and clause (g) of the definition of “Triggering Event” in each Debenture and (b) to respond to the SEC by February 21, 2020 with respect to the SEC’s comments on the Company’s preliminary proxy statement received on February 6, 2020 (the “SEC Response”) as required by clause (e) of the definition of “Triggering Event” in each Debenture. The Notice also advises that the Company has failed to timely deliver to each Purchaser the trigger event notices with respect to such trigger events as required by Section 6(b) of each Debenture, which failure due to the lapse of the applicable grace period has resulted in two Events of Default under Section 8(a)(ii) of each Debenture.

 

As a result of the Notice, the Purchasers have exercised their right to an optional redemption pursuant to Section 6(b) of each Debenture and declared the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, each of which accelerated the Company’s obligation to repay all outstanding balances under the Debentures (the “Optional Redemption”). On March 16, 2020, the Outstanding Principle was transferred from the Company to the Purchasers.

 

While the Triggering Events described in items (a) and (b) above occurred well in advance of the Optional Redemption, the Purchasers had reserved their rights in connection therewith, and have since advised the Company that the Optional Redemption was implicated in order to allow the Purchasers to mitigate their own risk in light of the volatile financial markets and foreign exchange fluctuations, together with any potential risk of a run on U.S. banks and their cash deposits, prompted by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the exercise of the Optional Redemption, MICT remains committed to pursuing a business combination with Global Fintech Holding Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company.

 

The Company filed a copy of and the form of Debentures the SPA as exhibits 4.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the Current Report.
