Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 (the “Form 12b-25”) with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Annual Report”). The Company has determined that it is unable to file the Annual Report within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. Additional time is necessary as the Company entered into in February 2016 a definitive agreement for the asset acquisition of the Telematics business of Novatel Wireless, Inc. (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was  scheduled to close by March 31, 2016, but closing has not yet occurred as of the time of this filing. The Transaction, which following its closing will constitute a substantial part of the Company’s business, is further described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 22, 2016. Until the Transaction closes, the Company’s resources that would normally be utilized to complete the Annual Report are also focused on closing the Transaction. The Company expects to file the Annual Report on or before fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
