DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Overview A. Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc., a U.S.-based Delaware corporation, was formed on January 31, 2002. On March 14, 2013, we changed our corporate name from Lapis Technologies, Inc. to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc., or we, Micronet Enertec or the Company. We operate through two Israel-based companies, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., or Enertec, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Micronet Ltd., or Micronet, in which we held 62.9% as of September 30, 2016 and is controlled by us.

B. Standby Equity Distribution Agreement On June 30, 2016, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, or the SEDA, with YA II PV Ltd., or YA II, a Cayman Island exempt limited partnership and an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global, LLC, for the sale of up to $2.39 million of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, over a three-year commitment period. Under the terms of the SEDA, the Company may from time to time, in its discretion, sell newly-issued shares of its common stock to YA II at a discount to market of 1.5%. The Company expects to issue shares of common stock under the SEDA pursuant to its effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-196760), or the Registration Statement. The Company is not obligated to utilize any of the funds available under the SEDA and there are no minimum commitments or minimum use penalties. The total amount of funds that ultimately can be raised under the SEDA over the three-year term will depend on the market price for the Company’s common stock and the number of shares actually sold. The SEDA does not impose any restrictions on the Company’s operating activities. During the term of the SEDA, YA II is prohibited from engaging in any short selling or hedging transactions related to the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2016, the Company sold YA II an aggregate of 291,430 shares of its common stock for an aggregate sale amount of $480 pursuant to the SEDA and under the Registration Statement. The aggregate issuance costs amounted to $100. C. Note Purchase Agreement On June 30, 2016, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enertec Electronics Ltd., entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with YA II, or the Note Purchase Agreement, whereby YA II purchased $600 of notes from the Company, or the Notes. The Company received a total of $600 on July 1, 2016. The outstanding principal balance of the Notes bears interest at 7% per annum. On a quarterly basis, which commenced on October 10, 2016, the Company will make payments of $150 of principal, plus accrued interest. All amounts payable are due on July 10, 2017.
