Otonomo Technologies Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel and registered under No. 515352813 with the Israeli Registrar of Companies (the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”), has delivered to the undersigned a copy of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange dated July 24, 2023 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”) of the Company and this letter transmittal and consent (as it may be supplemented and amended from time to time, this “Letter of Transmittal and Consent”), which together set forth the offer of the Company to each holder of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), to receive 0.25 Ordinary Shares in exchange for each warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”).

The Offer is being made to all holders of the Company’s warrants. The warrants (i) sold as part of the units as part of the units in the initial public offering of Software Acquisition Group Inc. II (“SWAG II”) on September 17, 2020 (the “IPO”) (whether they were purchased in the IPO or thereafter in the open market) or (ii) initially issued to certain parties in connection with the IPO that have been transferred to any person other than permitted transferees are referred to herein as the “public warrants.” The warrants issued to certain parties in a private placement in connection with the closing of the IPO that have not become public warrants under the Warrant Agreement (as defined below) as a result of being transferred to any person other than permitted transferees are referred to herein as the “private placement warrants.” The warrants are governed by the Amended & Restated Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and among the Company, SWAG II, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The public warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “OTMOW.” As of July 18, 2023, a total of 13,824,976 warrants were outstanding, consisting of 8,624,976 public warrants and 5,200,000 private placement warrants. Pursuant to the Offer, the Company is offering up to an aggregate of 3,456,244 Ordinary Shares in exchange for the warrants.
 
Concurrently with the Offer, the Company is also soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement to permit the Company to require that each warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.225 Ordinary Shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer (the “Warrant Amendment”). If the Company obtains the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the number of then outstanding public warrants, then, pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, that will be sufficient to adopt the Warrant Amendment.
 
Holders of warrants may not consent to the Warrant Amendment without tendering warrants in the Offer, and holders may not tender such warrants without consent to the Warrant Amendment. The consent to the Warrant Amendment is a part of this Letter of Transmittal and Consent relating to the private placement warrants, and therefore by tendering warrants for exchange, holders will be delivering to us their consent. Holders of warrants may revoke their consent at any time prior to the Expiration Date by withdrawing the warrants holders have tendered in the Offer.
2


Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding subject to their current terms or amended terms if the Warrant Amendment is approved. We reserve the right to redeem any of the warrants, as applicable, pursuant to their current terms at any time, including prior to the completion of the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and if the Warrant Amendment is approved, we intend to require the conversion of all outstanding warrants to Ordinary Shares as provided in the Warrant Amendment.

The Offer and Consent Solicitation is made solely upon the terms and conditions in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and this Letter of Transmittal and Consent. The Offer and Consent Solicitation will be open until 11:59 P.M., Eastern Time, on August 21, 2023, or such later time and date to which we may extend (the period during which the Offer and Consent Solicitation is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as the “Offer Period,” and the date and time at which the Offer Period ends is referred to as the “Expiration Date”).
 
Each holder whose warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer and Consent Solicitation will receive 0.25 Ordinary Shares for each warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. Any warrant holder that participates in the Offer and Consent Solicitation may tender less than all of its warrants for exchange.

No fractional Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, receive one additional whole Ordinary Share in lieu of such fractional shares. The Company’s obligation to complete the Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered warrants.

We may withdraw the Offer and Consent Solicitation only if the conditions to the Offer and Consent Solicitation are not satisfied or waived prior to the Expiration Date. Promptly upon any such withdrawal, we will return the tendered warrants to the holders (and the consent to the Warrant Amendment will be revoked).

All holders of private placement warrants wishing to accept the Offer and Consent Solicitation should complete, execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal and Consent to indicate the action it desires to take with respect to the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

Holders of public warrants must execute the tender through The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”), and therefore should not complete, execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal and Consent.

As used in this Letter of Transmittal and Consent with respect to the tender procedures set forth herein, the term “registered holder” means any person in whose name warrants are registered on the books of the Company or who is listed as a participant in a clearing agency’s security position listing with respect to the warrants.

THE OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION IS NOT MADE TO THOSE HOLDERS WHO RESIDE IN STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE AN OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

PLEASE SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CONSENT BEGINNING ON PAGE 10 FOR THE PROPER USE AND DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CONSENT.

Holders of public warrants must transmit instructions with respect to tenders of their warrants and consents to the Warrant Amendment through ATOP.

Private placement warrants may be validly tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer as described in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.

(ii)
a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and Consent; and

any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal and Consent.

Delivery of a Letter of Transmittal and Consent to the Company or DTC will not constitute valid delivery to the exchange agent. No Letter of Transmittal and Consent should be sent to the Company or DTC.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CONSENT, TENDERED WARRANTS AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH DTC, IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING WARRANT HOLDER, AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS, THE DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. THE WARRANT HOLDER HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CAUSE THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CONSENT, THE TENDERED WARRANTS AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS TO BE TIMELY DELIVERED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

Neither the Company nor the exchange agent is under any obligation to notify any tendering holder of the Company’s acceptance of tendered warrants.

A warrant holder may deliver the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery by facsimile transmission or mail to the exchange agent.

Except as specifically permitted by the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, no alternative or contingent exchanges will be accepted.

3. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal and Consent and other Documents. For purposes of the tender and consent procedures set forth in this Letter of Transmittal and Consent, the term “registered holder” means any person in whose name warrants are registered on the books of the Company or who is listed as a participant in a clearing agency’s security position listing with respect to the warrants.

If this Letter of Transmittal and Consent is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person must so indicate when signing and, unless waived by the Company, must submit to the exchange agent proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of the authority so to act.

4. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required if:

 
(i)
this Letter of Transmittal and Consent is signed by the registered holder of the warrants and such holder has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions”; or
 
 
(ii)
such warrants are tendered for the account of an “Eligible Institution.” An “Eligible Institution” is a bank, broker dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is an “eligible guarantor institution,” as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

IN ALL OTHER CASES, AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION MUST GUARANTEE ALL SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CONSENT BY COMPLETING AND SIGNING THE TABLE ENTITLED “GUARANTEE OF SIGNATURE(S)” ABOVE.

5. Warrants Tendered. Any warrant holder who chooses to participate in the Offer and Consent Solicitation may exchange some or all of such holder’s warrants pursuant to the terms of the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

6. Inadequate Space. If the space provided under “Description of Warrants Tendered” is inadequate, the name(s) and address(es) of the registered holder(s), number of warrants being delivered herewith, and number of such warrants tendered hereby should be listed on a separate, signed schedule and attached to this Letter of Transmittal and Consent.

7. Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer of warrants to the Company in the Offer and Consent Solicitation. If transfer taxes are imposed for any other reason, the amount of those transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons, will be payable by the tendering holder. Other reasons transfer taxes could be imposed include:

 
(i)
If Ordinary Shares are to be registered or issued in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal and Consent; or
 
 
(ii)
if tendered warrants are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal and Consent.
 
If satisfactory evidence of payment of or exemption from those transfer taxes is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal and Consent, the amount of those transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder and/or withheld from any payment due with respect to the warrants tendered by such holder.

8. Validity of Tenders. All questions as to the number of warrants to be accepted, and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any tender of warrants will be determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding on all parties. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of warrants it determines not to be in proper form or to reject those warrants, the acceptance of which may, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular warrants, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other tendered warrants. The Company’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer and Consent Solicitation (including this Letter of Transmittal and Consent and the instructions hereto) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of warrants must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. None of the Company, the exchange agent, the information agent, the dealer manager or any other person is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders of warrants, and none of them will incur any liability for failure to give any such notice. Tenders of warrants will not be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Any warrants received by the exchange agent that are not validly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the holders, unless otherwise provided in this Letter of Transmittal and Consent, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date. Warrant holders who have any questions about the procedure for tendering warrants in the Offer and Consent Solicitation should contact the information agent at the address and telephone number indicated herein. Warrants properly tendered and not validly withdrawn that are accepted for exchange constitute the holder’s validly delivered consent to the Warrant Amendment.
11


9. Waiver of Conditions. The Company reserves the absolute right to waive any condition, other than as described in the section of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled “The Offer and Consent Solicitation — General Terms — Conditions to the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

10. Withdrawal. Tenders of warrants may be withdrawn only pursuant to the procedures and subject to the terms set forth in the section of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled “The Offer and Consent Solicitation — Withdrawal Rights.” Warrant holders can withdraw tendered warrants at any time prior to the Expiration Date, and warrants that the Company has not accepted for exchange by August 21, 2023 may thereafter be withdrawn at any time after such date until such warrants are accepted by the Company for exchange pursuant to the Offer and Consent Solicitation. Except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, in order for the withdrawal of warrants to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal satisfying the applicable requirements for withdrawal set forth in the section of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled “The Offer and Consent Solicitation — Procedures for Tendering Warrants for Exchange and Consenting to the Warrant Amendment — Withdrawal Rights” must be timely received from the holder by the exchange agent at its address stated herein, together with any other information required as described in such section of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by the Company, in its reasonable discretion, and its determination shall be final and binding. None of the Company, the exchange agent, the information agent, the dealer manager or any other person is under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Any warrants properly withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. However, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a warrant holder may re-tender withdrawn warrants by following the applicable procedures discussed in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and this Letter of Transmittal and Consent. Consents may be revoked only by withdrawing the related warrants and the withdrawal of any warrants will automatically constitute a revocation of the related consents.

11. Important Israel Tax Withholding Information. The Ordinary Shares shall initially be deposited with the exchange agent for a period of up to 180 days from the date on which the last warrant is exchanged in connection with the Offer or the mandatory warrant exchange following effectiveness of the Warrant Amendment, which we expect to be on or around September 4, 2023 (the “Withholding Drop Date”), and any warrant holder, including a warrant holder who is not a resident of the State of Israel, will be subject to Israeli withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the value of the Ordinary Shares issued to it in exchange for its warrants pursuant to the Offer, unless such warrant holder provides the exchange agent (at its address stated herein), by no later than three business days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, with (i) a “Declaration of Status for Israeli Income Tax Purposes” attached hereto (a “Residency Declaration”), pursuant to which such warrant holder (1) holds less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company (as applied to the warrants on an as-exercised basis); (2) is not a resident of Israel for tax purposes; and (3) acquired its warrants on or after the date of the IPO; or (ii) a valid tax certificate issued by the Israel Tax Authority, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, applying withholding tax at a lesser rate than that described above or otherwise granting a specific exemption from Israeli withholding tax on the consideration in respect of any warrants exchanged pursuant to the Offer (a “Valid Tax Certificate”).
12


If you do not submit a Residency Declaration (together with the applicable supporting documents) or a Valid Tax Certificate, or if you submit a Valid Tax Certificate which determines a reduced rate of withholding tax, by no later than three business days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, Israeli tax will be withheld at the rate of 25% (or at a reduced rate in accordance with the Valid Tax Certificate). In such cases, the exchange agent will be entitled to sell an applicable number of Ordinary Shares (or, in the case of any merger or consolidation of Otonomo with or into another entity, shares of common stock of the other entity) to satisfy such withholding tax obligation, and the number of shares that you will receive in exchange for your warrants will be reduced accordingly. The exchange agent will provide you with a confirmation of such withholding for the purpose of presenting it to the Israeli tax authorities and you may be able to reclaim any withholding tax.

The payment of taxes to the Israeli tax authorities shall be made in NIS, and I.B.I. Trust Management, acting as the Israeli tax withholding agent, shall convert the relevant portion of US dollars according to the applicable USD/NIS exchange rate at the time of such conversion and as required under Israeli law. Any conversion costs shall be borne by you through a reduction of the applicable number of Ordinary Shares (or, in the case of any merger or consolidation of Otonomo with or into another entity, shares of common stock of the other entity) deliverable to you.

If there are any fractional Ordinary Shares resulting from the sale of Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Instruction 11, after aggregating all such fractional shares owing to you, you will receive one additional whole Ordinary Share in lieu of such fractional shares. The Company may refuse to deliver Ordinary Shares upon settlement of tendered warrants to you if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the tax withholding as described in this Instruction 11.

Please note that if the consideration in respect of your warrants exchanged pursuant to the Offer equals or exceeds US$ 300,000, you will not be able to provide a Residency Declaration, but you will instead be required to obtain and submit to the Exchange Agent a Valid Tax Certificate.

Please note that the Israeli withholding, as described herein, shall apply with respect to the exchange of your warrants pursuant to the Offer, regardless of and in addition to any Israeli withholding which shall apply with respect to the exchange of your Ordinary Shares for shares of Urgently common stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange). Therefore, you are required to provide a Residency Declaration or a Valid Tax Certificate with respect to the exchange of your warrants pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any declaration and/or tax certificate which you may be required to provide with respect to the exchange of your Ordinary Shares for shares of Urgently common stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and regardless of your participation in any tax ruling which may be obtained by the Company in connection with the Merger. As specified above, in the event that you do not provide a Residency Declaration or a Valid Tax Certificate, the exchange agent shall be entitled to sell an applicable number of your Ordinary Shares (or shares of Urgently common stock, as applicable) in order to satisfy Israeli withholding tax obligations.

12. Questions and Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies. Please direct questions or requests for assistance, or additional copies of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, Letter of Transmittal and Consent or other materials, in writing to the information agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation at:

Purpose of Form
 
An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.

 •    Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)
   
•        Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)
 
•        Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)
 
•        Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers)

•        Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

•        Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

•        Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition)

•        Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

•        Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

     Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.
 
     If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)
Page 2

     By signing the filled-out form, you:
 
1.          Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),
 
      2.          Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or
 
3.          Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected income, and
 
4.          Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information.
 
Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.
 
Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:
 
•    An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;
 
•    A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;
 
•    An estate (other than a foreign estate); or
 
•    A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).
 
Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your  U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.
 
In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.
 
•     In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;
 
•     In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and
 
•     In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.
 
Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).
 
Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.
 
      If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.
 
      1.          The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.
 
      2.          The treaty article addressing the income.
 
3.          The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.
 
4.          The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.
 
5.          Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.
 

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form
W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.
 
If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.
 
Backup Withholding
 
What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.
 
You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.
 
Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:
 
      1.         You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,
 
2.          You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details),
 
      3.         The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,
 
4.          The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or
 
5.          You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).
 
Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.
 
Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.
 
What is FATCA Reporting?
 
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form
W-9 for more information.
 
Updating Your Information
 
You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.
 
Penalties
 
Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
 
Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.


15


Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)
Page 3

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
 
Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.
 
Specific Instructions
 
Line 1
 
You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.
 
If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9.
 
a.          Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.
 
Note: ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application.
 
b.          Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2.
 
c.          Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C corporation, or S corporation. Enter the entity's name as shown on the entity's tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.
 
d.          Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.
 
e.          Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner's name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity's name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity name.” If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.
 
Line 2
 
If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, you may enter it on line 2.
 
Line 3
 
Check the appropriate box on line 3 for the U.S. federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on line 1. Check only one box on line 3.

Therefore, if you are only submitting this form for an account you hold in the United States, you may leave this field blank. Consult with the person requesting this form if you are uncertain if the financial institution is subject to these requirements.

Line 5
 
Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on file, write NEW at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records.
 
Line 6
 
Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.
 
Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
 
Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.
 
If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.
 
If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.
 
Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.
 
How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days.
 
If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.
 
Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.
 
Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

3.          Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft
 
Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.
 
To reduce your risk:
 
•   Protect your SSN,
 
•   Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and
 
•   Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.
 
If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.
 
If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.
 
For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.
