Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On May 6, 2014, Micronet Ltd. ("Micronet"), whose shares are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and a 52.26% owned subsidiary of the Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. (the "Company”),  entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Beijer Electronics Inc. ("Seller"), pursuant to which Micronet will acquire certain assets and liabilities of the Seller’s U.S. vehicle business and operations related to the supply of panels to various transportation segments (the “Vehicle Operations”). In consideration, Micronet has agreed (i) to pay a purchase price of $6,500,000 plus an additional amount of up to $1,300,000 for existing and future inventory to be finally determined at the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and (ii) to the assumption by Micronet at the Closing of certain liabilities of the Seller (the "Transaction").
 
The Closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions for transactions of this type. Following the Closing, which is expected to occur by mid-June 2014, the Vehicle Operations will be owned by Micronet or its affiliate.  The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Seller and Micronet. Micronet and the Seller have agreed that $650,000 of the purchase price will be placed in escrow at the Closing as security for the Seller’s and Micronet’s indemnification and other potential obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement.
 
WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws, and is subject to the safe-harbor created by such Act and laws.  In some cases, readers can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms, or other variations thereon or comparable terminology.  The statements herein and their implications are merely predictions and therefore inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.  For example, the Company states that the Closing is expected to occur by mid-June 2014.  However, the Asset Purchase Agreement contains various customary closing conditions and the Closing could be delayed or may not occur at all.  Further, the terms of the Transaction could change.   The Company’s business and operations are subject to substantial risks, which increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained or implied in this report.  Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements. Further information on potential factors that could affect the Company’s business is described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
