Exhibit 99.1

ITURAN LOCATION AND CONTROL LTD.

Ituran Location & Control Announces
Full Purchase of the Remaining Stake of Ituran Spain Holdings
 
AZOUR, Israel – September 22, 2021 – Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (NASDAQ: ITRN, TASE: ITRN), announced today that has purchased the remaining 18.72% of shares that it did not own in Ituran Spain Holdings, formerly called Road Track Holding (prior to its acquisition by Ituran in July 2018). This was in line with the original acquisition agreement with the former shareholders of this subsidiary.

The Company will pay the minority shareholders approximately $11.2 million. This is based on a subsidiary valuation of $60 million, which is the same valuation of the subsidiary as has been reflected in Ituran’s financial statements.

Eyal Sheratzky, Co-CEO of Ituran said “We are pleased to fully acquire this subsidiary into Ituran and I believe the completion of this agreement is a win-win for all parties. Over the past three years, even while navigating a tough period, this subsidiary has enabled us to penetrate and initiate growth into new markets in which we were not present before. Today, as the geographies in which we focus on are recovering following the Corona downturn, we are pleased to fully acquire this subsidiary at what we believe is the inflection point of solid growth as we begin to harvest many of the synergies.”
