Settlement and Repurchase Agreements
This section describes the material provisions of the form of Settlement and
Repurchase Agreements (as defined below) but does not purport to describe all of
the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the complete text of the Form of Repurchase Agreements, a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. MICT's shareholders, warrant holders
and other interested parties are urged to read such agreement in its entirety.
Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below are defined in
the Repurchase Agreements.
General Terms and Effects
On February 2, 2023 ("Effective Date"), MICT, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("MICT" or the "Company") entered into settlement and repurchase agreements (the
"Repurchase Agreements") with certain holders of the outstanding warrants over
its common stock ("Warrant Holders"). The warrants being repurchased were
originally issued by MICT between November 2020 and March 2021 pursuant to three
offerings of common stock and warrants. The exercise prices of the warrants were
$3.12 in the first offering and $2.80 in the subsequent two offerings, with
various expiration dates falling between August 16, 2024 and August 16, 2026.
The repurchase will result in the surrender and cancellation of the warrants
held by each Warrant Holder.
Repurchase Payment
Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreements, MICT agreed to repurchase warrants
representing an aggregate amount of 28,117,835 shares of its common stock, for
which it is paying $0.15 per share on March 3, 2023 and $0.10 per share on May
1, 2023 at an aggregate cost to MICT of $7,029,459. Additionally, MICT has also
entered into Repurchase Agreements with certain other Warrant Holders with
respect to an additional 1,064,000 shares, who have agreed to grant MICT an
option from July 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023 to repurchase their warrants for $0.25
per share upon the exercise of such option. MICT's payment for the repurchase of
warrants serves as consideration and full and final settlement of all claims
which were or might have been asserted by Warrant Holders arising from the
Warrants.
If MICT fails to make timely payment under the terms of the Repurchase
Agreements, the Warrants shall remain outstanding and be exercisable in full in
accordance with their terms, and the Warrant Holders shall retain all rights
available under applicable law or equity with respect to the Warrants.
Representations and Warranties
The Repurchase Agreements contain a number of representations and warranties by
each of MICT and the Warrant Holders as of the Effective Date. Most material of
which the Warrant Holders represent and warrant that they are the sole owner of,
and have good, valid and marketable title to the Warrants free of any
restrictions, among other representations and warrants. MICT represents and
warrants that it has received all necessary consents, approvals, and
authorizations to approve its obligations under the Repurchase Agreements, among
other representations and warrants. The representations and warranties made by
MICT and the Seller are customary for transactions similar to this transaction.

Most Favored Nation
MICT represented and warranted as of the Effective Date that from and after the
Effective Date through the respective expiration dates of the Warrants, that
none of the terms offered to any other holder of MICT's warrants (outstanding as
of the Effective Date), with respect to any amendment, settlement, repurchase or
redemption (whether pursuant to the terms of such warrants or otherwise) of any
such warrants (outstanding as of the Effective Date) since the Announcement Time
("Other Warrant Settlement Document"), is or will be more favorable to such
holder than those of the Warrant Holders and that the Repurchase Agreements are,
without any further action by the Warrant Holders or MICT, deemed amended and

Holders shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms contained in such
Other Warrant Settlement Document.
