Item 8.01 Other Events

On July 8, 2019, NetSol Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the acquisition of the remaining 49% interest in Virtual Lease Services Holdings Limited, the holding company of Virtual Lease Services Limited by its wholly owned subsidiary NetSol Technologies Europe Limited (“NTE”) from Investec Asset Finance effective June 30, 2019. The transaction results in NTE holding 100% of the ownership in Virtual Lease Services Limited through the holding company. NTE initially acquired the 51% interest in 2011. NTE acquires the remaining 49% interest by paying $500,000 USD in two separate $250,000 cash installments over a six-month period. An additional earnout component of the agreement stipulates that a sum of no more than $230,000 may also be paid in cash within one year of the acquisition’s closing date subject to additional performance metrics being achieved. As this transaction is being undertaken by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, and given the consideration involved, this transaction is not considered material by the Company for purposes of reporting additional details in this 8-K.

This information is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
