DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Overview MICT Inc., we, or the Company, was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 31, 2002. On March 14, 2013, the Company changed its corporate name from Lapis Technologies, Inc. to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. On July 13, 2018, following the sale of its former subsidiary Enertec Systems Ltd., the Company changed the Company name from Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. to MICT, Inc. Our shares have been listed for trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, since April 29, 2013. The Company's business relates to its ownership interest in its Israel-based, former subsidiary, Micronet Ltd., or Micronet, in which the Company previously held a majority ownership interest that has since been diluted to a minority ownership interest. Micronet operates in the growing commercial Mobile Resource Management, or MRM, market. Micronet through both its Israeli and U.S. operational offices designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with computing solutions in challenging work environments. As of December 31, 2018, the Company held 49.89% of Micronet's issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David Lucatz, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE. As a result of Micronet's offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On February 24, 2019, Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, executed an irrevocable proxy assigning his voting power over 1,980,000 shares of Micronet for our benefit. As a result, our voting interest in Micronet stood at 39.53% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet. The decrease in the Company's voting interest in Micronet resulted in the deconsolidation of Micronet's operating results from our financial statements as of February 24, 2019. Therefore, commencing from February 24, 2019, the Company accounts for the investment in Micronet in accordance with the equity method. As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company recognized a net gain of $299 in February 2019. On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%, and our current voting interest in Micronet stands at 37.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet.
