(“Whitehole”), Twinbel, S.L. (“Twinbel”) and EGI Acceleration, S.L. (“EGI) (each of Borja, Aritz, Whitehole, Twinbel and EGI shall be referred to as the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell to the Company all of the issued and outstanding equity of Naiz Bespoke Technologies, S.L., a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Spain (“Naiz”). The acquisition of Naiz was completed on October 11, 2022.
In consideration of the purchase of the shares of Naiz, the Agreement provided that the Sellers are entitled to receive (i) an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares (the “Equity Consideration”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”), representing in the aggregate, immediately prior to the issuance of such shares at the closing of the transaction, not more than 19.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares and (ii) up to US$2,050,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”).
The Equity Consideration was issued to the Sellers at closing of the transaction. The Agreement also provides that, in the event that the actual value of the Equity Consideration (based on the average closing price of the Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market over the 10 trading days prior to the closing of the transaction (the “Equity Value Averaging Period”)) is less than US$1,650,000, the Company shall make an additional cash payment (the “Shortfall Value”) to the Sellers within 45 days of the Company’s receipt of Naiz’s 2025 audited financial statements; provided that certain revenue targets are met. Following the Equity Value Averaging Period, it was determined that the Shortfall Value is US$459,240.
The Cash Consideration is payable to the Sellers in five installments, according to the following payment schedule: (i) US$500,000 at closing, (ii) up to US$500,000 within 45 days of the Company’s receipt of Naiz’s 2022 audited financial statements, (iii) up to US$350,000 within 45 days of the Company’s receipt of Naiz’s unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023, (iv) up to US$350,000 within 45 days of the Company’s receipt of Naiz’s unaudited financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2023, and (v) up to US$350,000 within 45 days of the Company’s receipt of Naiz’s 2024 audited financial statements; provided that in the case of the second, third, fourth and fifth installments certain revenue targets are met.
The payment of the second, third, fourth and fifth cash installments are further subject to the continuing employment or involvement of Borja and Aritz (each of Borja and Aritz shall be referred to as a “Key Person” and collectively, as the Key Persons) by or with Naiz at the date such payment is due (except if a Key Person is terminated from Naiz due to a Good Reason (as defined in the Agreement).
The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnification provisions. In addition, the Sellers will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation provisions pursuant to which they agree not to engage in competitive activities with respect to the Company’s business.
In connection with the Agreement, (i) each of the Sellers entered into six-month lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with the Company, (ii) Whitehole, Twinbel and EGI entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement) with the Company and (iii) each of the Key Persons entered into employment agreements and services agreements with Naiz.
The Lock-Up Agreement provides that each Seller will not, for the six-month period following the closing of the transaction, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option, warrant or contract to purchase, purchase any option, warrant or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares in each case, that are currently or hereafter owned of record or beneficially (including holding as a custodian) by such Seller, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, grant, transfer or disposition; or (ii) enter into any swap, short sale, hedge or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such Seller’s Shares regardless of whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or this clause (ii) is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The Lock-Up Agreement also contains an additional three-month “dribble-out” provision that provides following the expiration of the initial six-month lock-up period, without the Company’s prior written consent (which the Company shall be permitted to withhold at its sole discretion), each Seller shall not sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer on any given day a number of Shares representing more than the average daily trading volume of the Shares for the rolling 30 day trading period prior to the date on which such Seller executes a trade of the Shares.
The Voting Agreement provides that the voting of any Shares held by each of Whitehole, Twinbel and EGI (each a “Stockholder”) will be exercised exclusively by a proxy designated by the Company’s board of directors from time to time (the “Proxy”) and that each Stockholder will irrevocably designate and appoint the then-current Proxy as its sole and exclusive attorney-in-fact and proxy to vote and exercise all voting right with respect to the Shares held by each Stockholder. The Voting Agreement also provides that, if the voting power held by the Proxy, taking into account the proxies granted by the Stockholders and the Shares owned by the Proxy, represents 20% or more of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders that will vote on an item (the “Voting Power”), then the Proxy shall vote such number of Shares in excess of 19.9% of the Voting Power in the same proportion as the Shares that are voted by the Company’s other stockholders. The Voting Agreement will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) such time that such Stockholder no longer owns the Shares, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other business entity pursuant to which stockholders of the Company prior to such consolidation or merger hold less than 50% of the voting equity of the surviving or resulting entity, (iii) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business operations of the Company, and (iv) the filing or consent to filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceeding involving the Company or otherwise seeking any relief under any laws relating to relief from debts or protection of debtors.

6.5 | Indemnification. In the event of any inaccuracy, breach or misrepresentation of any covenant, obligation, warranty or representation in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents made by the Sellers, the Sellers shall, severally and not jointly (de forma mancomunada y no solidariamente), and on a pro rata basis based on their Holding Percentage, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from any and all losses and liabilities (daño emergente) (including costs and fees of lawyers, court representatives, notaries, auditors, accountants, experts or other professionals incurred regarding such breach of the representations of the Sellers, but excluding any lost profits, opportunity costs, consequential losses, and moral or reputational damages) (collectively a “Loss” or the “Losses”) sustained or incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of, or in connection with, or arising from such inaccuracy, breach or misrepresentation. |

6.7 | Sellers´ liability limitations. |
The Sellers shall not be liable:
6.7.1 | for Losses arisen from assets and liabilities that are duly reflected and expressly provided for in the Financial Statements; |
6.7.2 | for Losses derived from facts, matters, events or circumstances to the extent expressly qualified or excluded in the Disclosure Schedule, with reference to the exact representation or warranty to which it applies; |
6.7.3 | for Losses which had not happened or materialized if it wasn´t solely and exclusively attributable to legislative changes or changes in case law which occurred after the Closing Date; or |
6.7.4 | for any Losses which are expressly covered by an insurance policy and actually recovered by the Company from the insurance company or from any third party, in which case these recovered amounts will be deducted from the amount to be paid to the Purchaser as an indemnity for those Losses. |
The Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser for any Loss unless such particular Loss exceeds the amount of USD 1,500 (“De Minimis”). For the avoidance of doubt, series of Losses having the same origin or nature shall be deemed as an individual Loss for the purposes of this paragraph and, therefore, as a Loss, even if each or some of the individual Losses belonging to the series do not exceed the aforementioned amount.
Additionally, the Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser until the aggregate amount of the Losses also exceed the amount of USD 50,000 (“Basket Amount”). In such a case, the Sellers must indemnify the Purchaser for all the Losses that has been occasioned from the first dollar, and not only for the amount by which it exceeds the Basket Amount.
6.8 | Seller’s total liability for indemnification under this Agreement, after giving effect to the limitations provided for in Sections 6.1 and 6.7, shall be limited to 100% of the addition of (i) the actual value of the Equity Consideration as of the Closing Date (less a DLOM of 25% during the applicable Restricted Period defined in the Lockup Agreement); and (ii) the Cash Consideration actually received by the Sellers. |
The limitations set forth in Section 6.8 shall not apply (i) in the case of the matters referred to in Section 6.3; and (ii) in connection with a claim for any breach of Sections 6.15 (Waiver and Release), 9.1 (Confidentiality) and/or 9.3 (Non-Competition).
6.9 | Sole remedy. Except as set forth otherwise in this Section 6, the Parties expressly agree that Section 6 contain all the remedies that Purchaser may enforce against Sellers and, therefore, the whole compensation regime for any Loss regarding the sale and purchase contemplated in this Agreement. Accordingly, Purchaser expressly renounces in the broadest terms allowed in law, to exercise any action to claim (acción de reclamación) against Sellers different from those set out in Sections 5 and 6 that, without such renounce, might be entitled to exercise under applicable law. |
6.10 | Purchaser agrees that it may not recover twice the same Losses against any Seller. In particular, Purchaser may not attempt to recover any Losses from any Seller where such Losses were already recovered from him, as a Company’s director, after Closing by the Company. And inversely, Purchaser shall procure that Company may not attempt to recover any Losses from any Company’s director were such Losses were already recovered from such director, as a Seller, after Closing by the Purchaser. |
6.11 | Notice. Promptly after an Indemnified Party becomes aware of an event that is indemnifiable under this section, including where such event results from a third party claim against the Indemnified Party (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Sellers, setting forth in reasonable details the reasons and amount of the Loss. Failure to give the Sellers such prompt notice (“Claims Notice”) shall not relieve the Sellers of any of their obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Sellers are materially prejudiced by such failure. |
Upon receipt of such Claims Notice, the Sellers shall be entitled to give comments to the Claims Notice, and the Parties shall make best efforts to try and settle their dispute within a period of 30 days of the receipt of such Claims Notice (the “Negotiation Period”). In the event of failure to reach such agreement, within ten (10) business days after the Negotiation Period the Sellers shall notify the Purchaser: (i) whether they deny that Loss may eventually result from the Claims Notice; or (ii) whether they agree that Loss may eventually result from the Claims Notice. If the Sellers have not notified the Purchaser of their response within such period, they shall be deemed to reject that the Claims Notice may eventually result in a Loss.
For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be entitled to set-off any Loss Finally Determined arisen from any Performance Cash Payment due to the Sellers. With regard to Losses which are not Finally Determined yet, the Purchaser shall also be entitled to withhold payment of any Performance Cash Payment. No interest shall accrue on withholding any Performance Cash Payments during the Negotiation Period.
In the event that upon expiry of the Negotiation Period, the Parties failed to agree on the amount of Loss to be actually deducted from the Performance Cash Payments, the Purchaser shall be entitled to retain any Loss out of any entitlement to payment under any Performance Cash Payment, provided that if it is Finally Determined the absence of any Loss or the Loss Finally Determined is lower than the retained amounts, Purchaser shall be obliged to pay Sellers the incorrectly retained amounts increased by the interest rate set out in Section 10, as of the expiry of the Negotiation Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Losses Finally Determined exceed the amounts withheld by the Purchaser, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser a simple non-compounding interest rate of 2% per annum over such excess.
6.12 | Third Party Claims. The Sellers shall inform the Purchaser whether they wish to manage the defense of the Third Party Claim or not, within 10 days of the receipt of the Claims Notice from Purchaser. If the Sellers decline in writing to manage the defense of the Third Party’s Claim, the Purchaser may exercise the defense as it deems most appropriate, including judicial or extrajudicial settlement, settlement or opposition. In such a case, Sellers shall have the right to be informed from time to time of the progress of the relevant Third Party Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s approval in advance of any settlement agreement shall not be required. |
6.12.1 | If the Sellers elect to manage the defense of the Third Party Claim, they shall do so at their costs and expenses, with a legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, and (i) the Purchaser shall make available to the Sellers any documents and materials in his/her possession or control that may reasonably be necessary to the defense thereof; (ii) the Sellers shall keep the Purchaser informed with respect to the Third Party Claim; (iii) the Sellers shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (iv) the Purchaser shall be entitled to retain one joint legal counsel to participate (at its own cost and expense) in the defense of such Third Party Claim (i.e. to receive copies of documentation relating thereto, to attend meetings and hearings (as a silent and non-participating observer) with the counterparty to such claim). |
6.12.2 | If the Sellers do not elect to manage the defense of the Third Party Claim or if they do not inform the Purchaser of such election within 10 days of the receipt of the Claims Notice from Purchaser, the Purchaser may proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim. |
6.12.3 | Notwithstanding the foregoing, any settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim that (i) does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, or (ii) includes the admission of guilt or culpability on the part of the Indemnified Party, or (iii) which exceeds the Indemnified Party’s liability hereunder may be rejected by the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion. However, If the Purchaser does not consent in writing to a settlement agreement with the third party reached by the Sellers (other than for the reasons set forth in (i) of the preceding sentence) and the final indemnification amount to the Third Party is higher than the amount agreed between Sellers and the third party, then Sellers will not have to compensate the Purchaser for the difference between the indemnification amount agreed by the Sellers with the third party and the final indemnification amount determined by the court. |
6.13 | Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Sellers accept that the Third Party Claim may eventually result in a Loss, the Sellers may alternatively instruct the Purchaser to accept the Third Party Claim, and the Sellers shall be liable for the full amount of the Loss. |
6.14 | The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Sellers, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnified Party, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Purchaser, the Indemnified Party or their representatives, except as indicated in Section 7.7.1. |
6.15 | This section 6 (Indemnification) does not restrict an Indemnified Parties’ right to seek specific performance or other injunctive relief with respect to any provision of this Agreement. |

VOTING AGREEMENT
This Voting Agreement (“Voting Agreement”) is made as of [ ], by and among My Size, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the parties identified on the signature page hereto (each a “Stockholder,” and collectively, the “Stockholders”).
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 6, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and, inter alia, the Stockholders, the Stockholders have agreed to sell all of their shares in Naiz Bespoke Technologies S.L. (“NBT”) to the Company in exchange for cash and shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), and the Company has agreed to purchase the NBT Shares from the Stockholders by paying cash and issuing shares of the Company Common Stock to the Stockholders, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement;
WHEREAS, the number of shares of the Company Common Stock to be issued to the Stockholders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Shares”);
WHEREAS, the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares by the Company to the Stockholders, is expressly conditioned on the entering into of this Voting Agreement prior to such closing; and
WHEREAS, the Stockholders desire to enter into this Voting Agreement in order to induce the Company to close the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares to the Stockholders.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. All initial capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
2. Shares Subject to Agreement. The term “Voting Shares” as used in this Voting Agreement shall refer, individually and collectively, to (i) the Shares, and (ii) any other shares of the Company’s capital stock owned (whether beneficially or as of record) by the Stockholders on or after the date hereof (the “Additional Shares”). The Stockholders hereby agree to hold any Voting Shares controlled or owned by them (whether beneficially or as of record), subject to the provisions of this Voting Agreement.
3. Manner of Vote. Any vote of the Voting Shares held by the Stockholders, whether at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment(s), postponement(s) or continuation(s) thereof) or by written consent in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, shall be exercised exclusively by such person (the “Proxy”) designated from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) by written notice to the Stockholders; provided, that, if the voting power held by the Proxy, when taking into account the proxies granted by the Stockholders by this Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement and the Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Proxy, represents 20% or more of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders that will vote on an item, then the Proxy shall vote such number of Voting Shares in excess of 19.9% of the voting power of the existing stockholders of the Company on such item in the same proportion as shares of Company Common Stock are voted by the Company’s other stockholders. The initial Proxy shall be Or Kles. Any vote of the Voting Shares by any person other than the then Proxy shall be invalid, and shall not count as a vote of Voting Shares for any purpose whatsoever.
4. Irrevocable Proxy Coupled with an Interest.
(a) In order to effect the foregoing voting arrangement, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the then current Proxy as such Stockholder’s sole and exclusive attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, for and in such Stockholder’s name, to vote and exercise all voting rights (to the fullest extent such Stockholder is entitled to do so) with respect to the Voting Shares in the manner and to the effect determined by the Proxy, whether at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment(s), postponement(s) or continuation(s) thereof) and in any other circumstances upon which the vote, consent (including a written consent in lieu of a meeting), or other approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought. The irrevocable proxy and power of attorney granted by each Stockholder pursuant to this Section 4 shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) such time that such Stockholder no longer owns the Voting Shares, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other business entity pursuant to which stockholders of the Company prior to such consolidation or merger hold less than 50% of the voting equity of the surviving or resulting entity, (iii) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business operations of the Company, and (iv) the filing or consent to filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceeding involving the Company or otherwise seeking any relief under any laws relating to relief from debts or protection of debtors generally (the “Expiration Date”).
(b) The irrevocable proxy and power of attorney granted by each Stockholder pursuant to this Section 4 is: (i) intended to be and shall be irrevocable to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, (ii) coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power, and (iii) granted in consideration of the Company issuing the Shares to the Stockholders, entering into this Voting Agreement and incurring certain related fees and expenses.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each of the Stockholders represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:
(a) Upon the issuance of the Shares to the Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, the Stockholder shall be the sole legal and beneficial owner of such Shares which securities represent the only securities of the Company legally or beneficially owned by the Stockholder or that the Stockholder has voting power over. Except with respect to the Purchase Agreement, the Stockholder is not a party to any contract or agreement and owns no warrants, options or rights to purchase, subscribe for or otherwise acquire any securities of the Company. No person not a signatory to this Voting Agreement has a beneficial interest in or a right to acquire or vote any of the Voting Shares. Upon issuance, the Shares and any Additional Shares will be, free and clear of any lien, charge, claim, security interest, proxy, power of attorney, encumbrance, voting trust or agreement, understanding or arrangement of whatever nature that would adversely affect, or be inconsistent or interfere with, the Stockholder’s ability to vote the Voting Shares in accordance with Section 3 above or the Stockholder’s ability to grant and the Proxy’s ability to exercise the irrevocable proxy and power of attorney pursuant to Section 4 above. The Stockholder has not granted, and prior to the Expiration Date will not grant, any other proxy or voting rights in respect of the Voting Shares to any other person.
-2- |
(b) The Stockholder has all requisite power, capacity and authority to enter into and perform this Voting Agreement. If this Voting Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the person signing this Voting Agreement has full power, capacity and authority to enter into and perform this Voting Agreement. This Voting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and to general principles of equity.
6. Certain Covenants. Except as provided in this Agreement, each Stockholder shall not, during the term of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly: (i) grant any proxies or powers of attorney or enter into any voting trust or other agreement, understanding or arrangement of whatever nature with respect to the Voting Shares held by it that would adversely affect, or be inconsistent or interfere with its ability to vote the Voting Shares in accordance with Section 3 above or its ability to grant and the Proxy’s ability to exercise the irrevocable proxy and power of attorney pursuant to Section 4 above; (ii) pledge, encumber or create a lien on, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, any Voting Shares; or (iii) take any other action that would adversely affect, or be inconsistent or interfere with the provsions of Section 3 or Section 4 above.
7. Effective Date; Term. This Voting Agreement shall remain in effect until the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) this Voting Agreement shall not be effective or binding on the Stockholders until the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, whereupon all the terms and provisions hereof shall automatically become binding, and (ii) this Voting Agreement shall terminate immediately upon termination of the Purchase Agreement, for any reason, prior to closing thereunder.
8. Successors in Interest. The provisions of this Voting Agreement shall be binding upon the successors in interest to any of the Voting Shares. The Stockholders shall not transfer (whether voluntary or involuntary) any Voting Shares, or cause the Company or its transfer agent to record the transfer of the record ownership of any Voting Shares on its books (or issuing a new certificate representing any of the Voting Shares), unless and until the person to whom such Voting Shares are to be transferred shall have executed a written agreement pursuant to which such person becomes a party to this Voting Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the provisions hereof as if such person were an original signatory hereto.
-3- |
9. Legend. In addition, to any other legend, each certificate representing any of the Voting Shares shall be marked with a legend reading as follows:
THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE ISSUER) AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON HOLDING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SAID VOTING AGREEMENT.
At any time after the termination of this Voting Agreement in accordance with Section 7, any holder of a stock certificate legended pursuant to this Section 9 may surrender such certificate to the Company for removal of the legend.
10. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree and the Stockholders expressly acknowledge that the Company may be irreparably damaged if for any reason the Stockholders fail to perform any of their obligations under this Voting Agreement, and that the Company may not have any adequate remedy at law for money damages in such event. Accordingly the Stockholders agree that in the case of the failure of the Stockholders to perform the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce the performance of this Voting Agreement by the Stockholders, and further agree that any such specific performance and injunctive and/or other equitable relief, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure to perform, and further agree that the Stockholders will not seek, and agree to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the Company’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief. This provision is without prejudice to any other rights that the Company may have against the Stockholders for any failure to perform its obligations under this Voting Agreement.
11. Remedies. All remedies, either under this Voting Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

● | Synergies position MySize to become one of the leading measurement solution technology providers in the fashion industry and accelerate growth by broadening tech solution offerings, and expanding European footprint, global marketing & sales infrastructure | |
● | Addition of robust Naiz Fit customers base: Desigual, Moschino, and El Ganso among other highly recognized European and international fashion houses | |
● | Forecasting an additional $1 million MySize revenue in 2023 with Naiz Fit acquisition |
AIRPORT CITY, Israel – October 12, 2022 – MySize, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYSZ) (TASE: MYSZ.TA) (“MySize” or the “Company”), an omnichannel e-commerce platform and provider of AI-driven measurement solutions to drive revenue growth and reduce costs for its business clients, today announced it has acquired Spain-based Naiz Fit, a provider of SaaS technology solutions that solve size and fit issues for fashion ecommerce companies. Naiz Fit’s revenues and financial results will be fully integrated into MySize’s consolidated results for the fourth quarter of 2022.
As a result of the acquisition, Naiz Fit’s customers will reap the benefits of a broader portfolio of products and solutions delivered by an unparalleled combined team of industry leaders with a deep understanding of the fashion ecommerce retail landscape.
MySize is acquiring Naiz Fit for $500,000 in cash and 6 million shares of MySize common stock, and up to an additional $1,550,000 in future cash based on the achievement of performance-based milestones plus a shortfall payment of approximately $450,000 payable in 2026. Naiz Fit is expecting an estimated $400,000 in 2022 revenues with substantial increases anticipated for 2023. MySize expects its combined Naiz Fit and MySizeID sizing solution revenues to contribute an additional $1 million revenues in 2023. Additional benefits including economies of scale through combined SG&A expenses are expected.
Naiz Fit’s SaaS technology acts as a digital tailor. Without asking customers to measure themselves, Naiz Fit obtains 20+ body measurements using its proprietary AI and computer vision capabilities by transforming simple images into body measurements. For customers who do not want to use photos, Naiz Fit implements statistical modeling algorithms to determine size and fit based on height, weight, age, gender, and fit preference. Convolutional neural networks enable the company’s technology to extract direct body measurements and body morphologies with the highest accuracy.
Following the acquisition, Naiz Fit’s latest product, Smart Catalogue, will be launched. Smart Catalogue is designed to help retail product and design teams make the most informed decisions for their collections based on real-time customer data.
With over 40 clients in Spain, Italy, Germany, and France, Naiz Fit brings to MySize a substantial customer base including Desigual, Moschino, El Ganso, Philosophy, Alberta Ferretti, Silbon, and Boglioli Milano, among others.
“Combining the MySizeID and Naiz Fit sizing solutions, we expect to gain significant economies in sales and marketing and to deliver unparalleled sizing technology to fashion retailers,” stated Ronen Luzon, CEO, and Founder of MySize. “We believe the acquisition will be highly accretive in the near and long-term as well as being a strategic play. By leading the consolidation of sizing solutions, MySize is positioning to build greater and broader offerings and become the leading technology provider in the industry.”
Borja Cembrero Saralegui, Co-Founder of Naiz Fit, commented, “Our current customers will benefit significantly from Naiz Fit joining forces with MySize, a Nasdaq listed company with global reach serving some of the largest retailers in the world, and offering complementary products such as FirstLook Smart Mirror. Our pure ecommerce and hybrid apparel retailer clients will have access to the best portfolio of solutions to improve their business economics.”
