For Immediate Release

Pointer Telocation Announces that an Application to Recognize a Claim as a Class Action was filed against the company

Rosh HaAyin, Israel, August 2, 2017. Pointer Telocation Ltd. (Nasdaq: PNTR & TASE: PNTR) – a leading developer and operator of Fleet and Mobile Resource Management (MRM) solutions, announced today that an application to recognize a claim as a class action has been filed, in the Central District Court, Israel, against the company on July 27, 2017.

The company has not yet been duly served with a copy of the application and the application is subject to the court’s approval.

In the application, the applicant claims that the basis for the claim is misleading some of the company customers, claiming that during the last seven years the company is charging them for a superior system while installing an inferior system.

The claimed amount, if the claim is certified as a class action, is estimated by the applicant to be NIS 1,332 per client and NIS 50,000,000 in the aggregate.

At this early stage the company cannot estimate the chances of this claim.
