July 24, 2023

To Our Clients:

Enclosed are the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, dated July 24, 2023 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the “Letter of Transmittal and Consent”), which together set forth the offer of Otonomo Technologies Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), to each holder of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share (“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 and Consent Solicitation is made solely upon the terms and conditions in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the 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 the Company may extend the Offer and Consent Solicitation. 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.” The date and time at which the Offer Period ends is referred to as the “Expiration Date.”

The Offer is being made to all holders of the Company’s outstanding 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 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.

 
Each holder whose warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.25 Ordinary Shares for each warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. Any warrant holder that participates in the Offer 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.
 
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”). Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the number of then outstanding public warrants is required to adopt the Warrant Amendment.
 
Holders of warrants may not consent to the Warrant Amendment without tendering their warrants in the Offer and holders may not tender such warrants without consenting to the Warrant Amendment. The consent to the Warrant Amendment is a part of the Letter of Transmittal and Consent, and therefore by tendering their warrants for exchange, holders will be delivering to the Company their consent. Holders of warrants may revoke their consent at any time prior to the Expiration Date by withdrawing the warrants such holders have tendered in the Offer.

If holders of at least a majority of the number of then outstanding public warrants do not provide consent to the Warrant Amendment, warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding subject to their current terms, including any such terms permitting the Company to redeem such warrants prior to their expiration. The Company reserves 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.

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 follow the instructions in this document and the related documents, including the accompanying Letter of Transmittal and Consent, to cause your warrants to be tendered for exchange pursuant to the Offer and provide consent to the Warrant Amendment.

On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Company will allow the exchange of all warrants properly tendered before the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn, at an exchange rate of 0.25 Ordinary Shares for each warrant so tendered.

We are the owner of record of warrants held for your account. As such, only we can exchange and tender your warrants, and then only pursuant to your instructions. We are sending you the Letter of Transmittal and Consent for your information only; you cannot use it to exchange and tender warrants we hold for your account, nor to provide consent to the Warrant Amendment.
 
Please instruct us as to whether you wish us to tender for exchange any or all of the warrants we hold for your account, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

The Company has not authorized any person to make any recommendation. You should carefully evaluate all information in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the Letter of Transmittal and Consent and should consult your own investment and tax advisors. You must decide whether to have your warrants exchanged and, if so, how many warrants to have exchanged. In doing so, you should read carefully the information in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the Letter of Transmittal and Consent.
