Attendance in Person at the Meeting

Shareholders wishing to attend the meeting in person must present photo ID and original documentation (no copies) showing that the shareholder is a shareholder as of the record date June 16, 2025.

Voting Securities and Voting Rights

At the close of business on June 16, 2025, the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company consisted of 37,433,333 Shares. The Shares consist of class ordinary shares, which is the only class of shares with voting rights in the capital of the Company. Shareholders may exercise their shareholder rights to vote only the Shares registered in their name on June 16, 2025, the record date for the AGM.

The Agenda set forth in the Notice was proposed by the Management Board and approved by the Supervisory Board.

A registered holder of Shares may cast one vote per share at the AGM. In accordance with Article 18 of the Articles, resolutions may be adopted only when a quorum of at least 50% percent of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote is present or represented at the AGM, and adoption of a resolution requires an absolute majority of the votes cast at the AGM unless specified otherwise pursuant to and in accordance with the Articles.

In respect of approximately 79.6% of the issued and outstanding Shares, shareholders have indicated to vote FOR items 3 through 12 of the Agenda. The shareholders holding the 2019 Shares have agreed with the Company to not vote on these 3,000,000 Shares.

Shares cannot be voted at the AGM, unless the registered holder is present in person or is represented by a written proxy. The Company is incorporated in the Netherlands and, as required by Dutch law and the Articles, the AGM must be held in the Netherlands. Shareholders who are unable to attend the AGM in person may authorize the voting of Shares at the AGM by completing and returning the enclosed power of attorney and proxy card naming Alon Raich as proxy holder. If the power of attorney and proxy in the enclosed form is duly executed and returned prior to the AGM, all Shares represented thereby will be voted, and, where specifications are made by the holder of Shares on the form of proxy, such proxy will be voted by the proxy holder in accordance with such specifications.

If no specification is made in the power of attorney and proxy, the power of attorney and proxy will be voted by the proxy holder FOR items 3 through 12 of the Agenda, listed on the proxy card.

In the event a shareholder wishes to use any other form of power of attorney and proxy, such power of attorney and proxy shall be voted in accordance with the specification given therein, provided that (i) such power of attorney and proxy states the number of registered Shares held by such shareholder, (ii) the Shares for which the power of attorney and proxy is given are registered in the name of the shareholder on June 16, 2025, (iii) such proxy enables the person named therein to vote the Shares represented thereby either in favor of or against the Proposals, or to abstain from voting, as applicable, and (iv) the proxy and the power of attorney presented in the shareholders meeting should be originals. Copies will not be accepted. The proxy holder shall present the duly executed proxy together with the enclosed form of Power of Attorney and Proxy signed by the registered shareholder.

Right of Revocation

Any shareholder who has executed and delivered a power of attorney and proxy to the Company and who subsequently wishes to revoke such power of attorney and proxy may do so at any time prior to the AGM by delivering a written notice of revocation to the Company at its address set forth above, and to the attention of the Managing Director.

(a)
The amounts include Shares owned by each of the above, directly or indirectly.
 
(i)          The MacPherson Trust (the Trust) was created for the benefit of the family of Mr. Menachem J. Atzmon. The Trust owns Spencer Corporation, Limited, which holds together with the Trust and its Ultimate Beneficial Owners approximately 62.6% of the issued and outstanding Shares. Mr. Menachem J. Atzmon disclaims any beneficial interest in the MacPherson Trust. Spencer Corporation Limited and the MacPherson Trust and its Ultimate Beneficial Owners together with Mr. Atzmon are able to appoint all the directors of the Company and control the affairs of the Company.

(ii)          As of December 31, 2024 the Company has USD 25,000 outstanding convertible notes payable to a related party. There is a promissory note facility agreement with the related party in place under that agreement the related party, to the extent convertible notes are payable to it, has the right to convert up to 3,000,000 Shares into the Company’s shares at a rate of USD 0.75 per share. The calculation above does not take into consideration the conversion of convertible notes.

(iii)          As previously reported, the Company intends to repurchase the 3,000,000 shares issued to its directors and certain employees in 2019 at a price of EUR 0.45 per share (equal to USD 0.506 per share according to the exchange rate at the time). During the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting held on 20 December 2023, the General Meeting authorized the Management Board, for a period of 18 months, to repurchase the 2019 Shares once the Company’s balance sheet test allows it according to Dutch law. This period has lapsed without the Company being able to repurchase the 2019 Shares due to the balance sheet test not being satisfied. Therefore, the Company now proposes that the shareholders again authorize the Management Board to repurchase the 2019 Shares at a price of EUR 0.45 per share (agenda item 11).

ITEM 2 OF THE AGENDA:
 
REPORT OF THE COMPANY’S AUDIT COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS OF THE
FINANCIAL YEAR 2024
 
The Audit Committee consists of Ms. Gail F. Lieberman, Mr. Ilan Nir and Mr. Frans van Westen. The Audit Committee and the Supervisory Board have adopted an Audit Committee Charter and Code of Ethics which are attached hereto as Exhibits A and B. The Charter outlines the duties of the Audit Committee in relation to its responsibilities of overseeing management's conduct of the Company's financial reporting process, including the selection of the Company's outside auditors and the review of the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to any governmental or regulatory body, the public or other users thereof, the Company's systems of internal accounting and financial controls and the annual independent audit of the Company's financial statements and the Company's legal compliance and ethics programs as established by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. The Audit Committee has met with the independent auditors. The Code of Ethics sets forth the conduct required of all directors, officers and employees.

The Audit Committee after such review and discussion with the independent auditors have recommended that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's annual report on Form 20-F.

The Audit Committee held two meetings during the last financial year (2024). All members of the Audit Committee are "independent" under the rules of the SEC currently applicable to the Company. Ms. Lieberman and Mr. Van Westen have financial expertise.

The Audit Committee has discussed with the Company’s independent auditors, the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Communications with Audit Committees) regarding the auditor’s judgments about the quality of the Company’s accounting principles as applied in its financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has also received written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with such firm their independence.

Conclusion

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company’s Supervisory Board that its audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for filing with the SEC.

Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d- 14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), the Audit Committee believes that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation.

The members of our Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of auditing or accounting, including in respect of independent registered public accounting firm independence. Members of our Audit Committee rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by the Management Board and the independent registered public accounting firms.

Accordingly, our Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that the Management Board has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, our Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards that the financial statements are presented in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (US) or that Forvis Mazars, our accounting firm, is in fact “independent”.

Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board
Gail F. Lieberman, Chairman of the Audit Committee

ITEM 3 OF THE AGENDA:
 
APPROVAL OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO BE USED FOR THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS AND ANNUAL REPORTS

Pursuant to Section 2:362, Paragraph 7 of the Dutch Civil Code, the annual accounts of a Dutch company such as the Company must be prepared in the Dutch language, unless the General Meeting resolves to use another language.

Pursuant to Section 2:391 of the Dutch Civil Code, the Management Board will use the English language for the annual reports.

A majority of the votes cast is required for this proposal, provided that a quorum of at least 50% percent of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is present or represented at the AGM.

ITEM 4 OF THE AGENDA:
 
ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2024 (VOTING ITEM)

Adoption of the Annual Accounts also includes the adoption of the Dutch accounts through December 31, 2024. Reference is made to the Annual Accounts and the result stated therein. As a consequence, no proposal with regards to any reservation or distribution of net profits in accordance with Article 20 of the Articles is made. Adoption of the Annual Accounts also implies the approval and ratification by the General Meeting for the extension of the period prescribed by Dutch law by 5 months for the preparation of the Annual Accounts.

A majority of the votes cast is required for this proposal, provided that a quorum of at least 50% percent of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is present or represented at the AGM.

(Newtone) as the independent auditors of the Company for the financial year ending December 31, 2025.

At the AGM, the shareholders are being asked to grant discharge to the members of the Management Board in respect to their management and to the members of the Supervisory Board in respect of their supervision up to and including the 2024 financial year.

A majority of the votes cast is required for this proposal, provided that a quorum of at least 50% percent of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is present or represented at the AGM.

THE SUPERVISORY BOARD AND MANAGEMENT BOARD RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” DISCHARGE TO THE MANAGEMENT BOARD AND SUPERVISORY BOARD (ITEM 7 OF THE POWER OF ATTORNEY AND PROXY CARD).

ITEM 10 OF THE AGENDA:

AUTHORIZATION TO THE MANAGEMENT BOARD TO REPURCHASE SHARES (VOTING ITEM)

At the AGM, the shareholders are being asked to grant the Management Board authorization to repurchase Shares.

Pursuant to the Articles and Section 2:98(4) of the Dutch Civil Code, the Company may only acquire Shares if authorized by the General Meeting to do so. This authorization cannot be for a period of more than 18 months and the authorization shall determine how many shares may be acquired, how they may be acquired, and the high and low prices to be paid for such shares.

By means of the repurchase of outstanding Shares by the Company, it is anticipated that the price of Shares held by shareholders other than the Company will increase. More specific, the Company requests to repurchase shares in the open market subject to an authorization being granted, in one or more tranches, up to a number of shares representing a maximum of 20% of the issued share capital of the Company and based on the consideration of the Management Board, including the repurchase of shares as set out under agenda item 11.

In light of the above, the Company asks that the shareholders authorize the Management Board to repurchase Shares in the open market or otherwise at prices ranging between (an equivalent of) USD 0.01 up to USD 10.00 per share, up to a number of shares representing a maximum of 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the General Meeting and provided that at all times such number shall not exceed the maximum number of shares allowed as per the Articles as they shall read from time to time and Dutch law, for a period of 18 months commencing the date of the AGM.

A majority of the votes cast is required for this proposal, provided that a quorum of at least 50% percent of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote is present or represented at the AGM.

THE SUPERVISORY BOARD AND THE MANAGEMENT BOARD RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” AUTHORIZATION TO THE MANAGEMENT BOARD TO REPURCHASE SHARES (ITEM 8 OF THE POWER OF ATTORNEY AND PROXY CARD).

ITEM 11 OF THE AGENDA:

AUTHORIZATION TO THE MANAGEMENT BOARD TO REPURCHASE THE 2019 SHARES (VOTING ITEM)

In addition to agenda item 10, the shareholders are being asked specifically to grant the Management Board authorization to repurchase the 2019 Shares.

As previously reported, the Company intends to repurchase the 2019 Shares at a price of EUR 0.45 per share (equal to USD 0.506 per share according to the exchange rate at the time of the issuance). During the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting held on 20 December 2023, the General Meeting authorized the Management Board, for a period of 18 months, to repurchase the 2019 Shares once the Company’s balance sheet test allows it according to Dutch law. This period has lapsed without the Company being able to repurchase the 2019 Shares due to the balance sheet test not being satisfied.

During the Company’s 2024 extraordinary general meeting held on October 16, 2024, the General Meeting adopted a resolution to reduce the issued share capital of the Company. The reduction of the issued share capital was effectuated by means of an amendment to the Articles dated 23 December 2024. The purpose of this reduction was to enable the Company to repurchase the 2019 Shares under the balance sheet test, once the Annual Accounts were adopted. The Annual Accounts allow for the repurchase of the 2019 Shares under the balance sheet test.

Therefore, the Company now asks that the shareholders again authorize the Management Board to repurchase the 2019 Shares at a price of EUR 0.45 per share. The Company will proceed to repurchase the 2019 Shares as soon possible after the adoption of the Annual Accounts (agenda item 4) and this authorization being granted.

A majority of the votes cast is required for this proposal, provided that a quorum of at least 50% percent of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is present or represented at the AGM.

THE SUPERVISORY BOARD AND MANAGEMENT BOARD RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” AUTHORIZATION TO THE MANAGEMENT BOARD TO REPURCHASE THE 2019 SHARES (ITEM 9 OF THE POWER OF ATTORNEY AND PROXY CARD).

10


ITEM 12 OF THE AGENDA:

AUTHORIZATION TO THE MANAGEMENT BOARD TO DISTRIBUTE SHARE PREMIUM (VOTING ITEM)

At the AGM, the shareholders are being asked to grant the Management Board authorization to distribute share premium.

Under to Section 2:105 of the Dutch Civil Code and the Articles, the Company may make a distribution provided and to the extent that the Company’s equity exceeds the amount of the paid and called up part of the capital increased by the reserves which must be maintained pursuant to the law or the Articles. This is requirement is known as the balance sheet test.

In case of an interim distribution, such as a distribution of share premium, the balance sheet test must be evidenced by an interim statement of assets and liabilities which (i) reflects the capital position of the Company as at least the first day of the third month preceding the month in which the decision of the management board to make the interim distribution is announced, (ii) be prepared in accordance with generally accepted methods of valuation and does not need to be audited, and (iii) include the amounts to be reserved pursuant to the law or the articles of association.

At present, the Company does not meet the balance sheet test on the basis of an interim statement as referred to above and is therefore not in a position to distribute share premium. However, the Company remains committed to returning excess capital to shareholders in an efficient and responsible manner. Therefore, if and when the balance sheet test is met, the Company may consider proceeding with a distribution of share premium.

Pursuant to Section 2:105 of the Dutch Civil Code and the Articles, the Management Board, after having obtained approval from the Supervisory Board, is the authorized to resolve on a distribution of share premium. A shareholder resolution is not legally required. Nevertheless, this agenda item is included to assess whether there is shareholder support for a potential future distribution.

No commitment by the Company to distribute share premium in the future can be derived from this agenda item.

A majority of the votes cast is required for this proposal, provided that a quorum of at least 50% percent of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is present or represented at the AGM.

THE SUPERVISORY BOARD AND MANAGEMENT BOARD RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE AUTHORIZATION TO THE MANAGEMENT BOARD TO DISTRIBUTE SHARE PREMIUM (ITEM 10 OF THE POWER OF ATTORNEY AND PROXY CARD).

This ICTS International N.V and subsidiaries (“ICTS”) Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) reflects the business practices and principles of behavior that support this commitment. This Code is intended to comply with the provisions of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and other local laws and regulations applicable to ICTS. This Code applies to all employees working for or on behalf of ICTS based on contractual agreement. It is also applicable to all individuals involved in, or undertaking activities that can be related to ICTS’s business, such as intermediaries, consultants, interns, trainees, temporary staff, and agents. We expect every executive and manager, employee officer, Managing Director and Supervisory Director of ICTS to read and understand the Code and its application to the performance of his or her business responsibilities and to make sure all employees act according to the Code.
 
References in the Code to employees are intended to cover also officers and, as applicable, Management Directors, Supervisory Directors as well as chief financial officers (“Principal Financial Officers”) (the management directors, principal executive officers and principal financial officers collectively, the “406 Officers” as referred to in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act). The Principal Financial Officers are bound by these Business Conduct Guidelines, including those provisions that relate to ethical conduct, conflicts of interest and compliance with applicable laws. The 406 Officers hold an important and elevated role in corporate governance in that they are uniquely capable and empowered to ensure that all shareholders’ interests are appropriately balanced, protected and preserved. Therefore, in addition to the broad and comprehensive codes of ethical conduct set forth in the ICTS Business Conduct Guidelines, the 406 Officers shall be subject to the additional conduct guidelines continued on Section 18 hereof.
 
Officers, managers and other supervisors are expected to develop in employees a sense of commitment to the spirit, as well as the letter, of the Code. Supervisors are also expected to ensure that all agents and contractors conform to Code standards when working for or on behalf of ICTS. Nothing in the Code alters the terms of employment between an individual employee and ICTS.
 
The Code cannot possibly describe every practice or principle related to honest and ethical conduct. The Code addresses conduct that is particularly important to proper dealings with the people and entities with whom we interact, but reflects only a part of our commitment.
 
Action by members of your immediate family, significant others or other persons who live in your household also may potentially result in ethical issues to the extent that they involve ICTS business. For example, acceptance of inappropriate gifts by a family member from one of our suppliers could create a conflict of interest and result in a Code violation attributable to you. Consequently, in complying with the Code, you should consider not only your own conduct, but also that of your immediate family members, significant others and other persons who live in your household.

 
The integrity and reputation of ICTS depends on the honesty, fairness and integrity brought to the job by each person associated with us. It is the responsibility of each employee to apply common sense, together with his or her own highest personal ethical standards, in making business decisions where there is no stated guideline in the Code. Unyielding personal integrity is the foundation of corporate integrity.
 
IF YOU HAVE WITNESSED OR EVEN SUSPECT BEHAVIOR THAT IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS CODE, RAISE YOUR CONCERNS WITH THE PERSON INVOLVED, IF POSSIBLE. YOU CAN ALWAYS RAISE YOUR CONCERNS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE INTERNAL POLICIES AND GUIDELINES, INCLUDING OUR WHISTLEBLOWING POLICY.
 
Violations of the Code will not be tolerated. In the event of a violation, ICTS may impose all appropriate sanctions pursuant to applicable law and/or the (employment) agreement, such as a warning, the undoing of the benefit obtained by the employee, transfer, suspension, termination of employment or summary dismissal (“ontslag op staande voet”). In appropriate cases, civil legal action or referral for criminal prosecution may also be possible.
 
LEGAL COMPLIANCE
 
Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation of this Code. Our success depends upon each employee’s operating within legal guidelines and cooperating with local, national and international authorities. It is therefore essential that you understand the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to your business unit and area of responsibility. While we do not expect you to memorize every detail of these laws, rules and regulations, we want you to be able to determine when to seek advice from others. If you do have a question in the area of legal compliance, it is important that you not hesitate to seek answers from your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board (the “Audit Committee”).
 
Disregard of the law will not be tolerated. Violation of domestic or foreign laws, rules and regulations may subject an individual, as well as ICTS, to civil proceedings and actions and/or criminal investigations and penalties. This could result in severe fines, imprisonment, and other penalties. You should be aware that conduct and records, including emails, are subject to internal and external audits, and to inspection by third parties in the event of a government investigation or civil litigation. It is in everyone’s best interests to know and comply with our legal and ethical obligations.
 
1.
INSIDER TRADING
 
Employees who have access to confidential (or ‘inside’) information are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes or for any other purpose except to conduct our business. All non-public information about ICTS or about companies with which we do business is considered confidential information. To use material non-public information in connection with buying or selling securities, including ‘tipping’ others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information, is not only unethical, but also illegal. Employees must exercise the utmost care when handling material inside information. We have adopted a separate Insider Trading Policy (accessible at the company offices or can be requested from your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee) which you should consult for more specific information on the definition of ‘material inside information’ and on buying and selling our securities or securities of companies with which we do business.

2.
DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT
 
The diversity of ICTS’s employees is a tremendous asset. We are firmly committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment and will not tolerate any illegal discrimination or harassment of any kind. In addition, retaliation against individuals for raising claims of discrimination or harassment is prohibited.
 
3.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
A ‘conflict of interest’ occurs when an individual’s personal interest may interfere in any way with the performance of his or her duties or the best interests of ICTS. A conflicting personal interest could result from an expectation of personal gain now or in the future or from a need to satisfy a prior or concurrent personal obligation. We expect our employees to be free from influences that conflict with the best interests of ICTS. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest where none actually exists can be damaging and should be avoided. Whether or not a conflict of interest exists or will exist can be unclear. Conflicts of interest are prohibited unless specifically authorized as described below.
 
You may also not take personal advantage of opportunities that are presented to you or discovered by you as a result of your position with us or through your use of corporate property or information, unless authorized by your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. Even opportunities that are acquired privately by you may be questionable if they are related to our existing or proposed lines of business. Participation in an investment or outside business opportunity that is related to our existing or proposed lines of business must be pre-approved. You cannot use your position with us or corporate property or information for improper personal gain, nor can you compete with us in any way. In addition, loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, employees or their Family Members by ICTS are not permitted.
 
If you have any questions about a potential conflict or appearance of conflict or if you become aware of an actual or potential conflict or appearance of a conflict, and you are not an officer or director of ICTS, you should report it as soon as possible to your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. Supervisors may not authorize conflict of interest matters without first seeking the approval of a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee and filing with a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee a written description of the authorized activity. If the supervisor is involved in the potential or actual conflict, you should report the matter directly to a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. ICTS will maintain a record of all reported (potential) conflicts of interest.
 
4.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
 
ICTS strives to provide a safe and healthy work environment. Each of us shares the responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace by following safety and health rules and practices and reporting accidents, injuries, unsafe equipment and any other unsafe practices or conditions to his/her supervisor, the Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. Further, using or misusing controlled substances or selling, manufacturing, distributing, possessing controlled substances, or being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs on the job is absolutely prohibited.
B - 3

 
5.
GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT (ANTI-BRIBERY AND ANTI-CORRUPTION)
 
ICTS is firmly committed to fight Bribery and Corruption and to comply with the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (“ABC”) international regulations and the local laws of jurisdictions in which it operates (such as but not limited to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, national Criminal Codes and the United Nations Convention against Corruption). Some jurisdictions, local laws and customs might be stricter than this Code. In such instances, the stricter local standards shall prevail.
 
All employees of ICTS are expected to comply with the applicable laws in all countries to which they travel, in which they operate and where we otherwise do business, including laws prohibiting bribery, corruption or the conduct of business with specified individuals, companies or countries. ICTS adopts a zero-tolerance approach towards all forms of Bribery and Corruption.
 
‘Bribery’ refers to paying or authorising of a payment, or the requesting, accepting, offering, suggesting, promising, of anything of value to someone for their, or another’s gain with the intention either to motivate active or passive deviation from a duty or to secure the performance of a duty. ‘Corruption’ means any activity that involves the abuse of a position or power for an improper personal or business advantage and includes Bribery and Facilitation Payments. ‘Facilitation payments’ are defined widely and need not be monetary in nature. A Facilitation Payment, also known as a ‘facilitation’, ‘speed’ or ‘grease’ payment; is a payment that is made to secure or expedite the performance of a routine or necessary action to which the payer has legal or other entitlement.
 
All acts of Bribery and Corruption – including Facilitation Payments – are prohibited. No employee of ICTS shall directly or indirectly offer, promise, give, authorize, agree to receive or accept improper Gifts (a tangible or intangible good) or Benefits (such as but not limited to services, discount, hospitality, payments, or contributions) to or from counterparties, third parties and (foreign) government officials. This should be strictly followed in order to avoid any appearance of obtaining improper advantage, which includes obtaining or retaining business for or on behalf of ICTS. The fact that in some countries certain laws are not enforced or that violation of those laws is not subject to public criticism will not be accepted as an excuse for noncompliance.
 
It is only allowed to provide appropriate common business gifts or to invite business relationships for lunch, dinner or another appropriate activity, as long as these are of a low value and only if at all times even the appearance of improper intentions or violations of applicable laws can be avoided. Cash payments are never acceptable. In any event, a gift with a value exceeding EUR 50 or entertainment exceeding a value of EUR 100 require express permission from a supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. If two or more gifts or entertainment are being provided that in total exceed this threshold, also prior internal approval is required before offering the gift or entertainment. This principle of prior written approval applies to our transactions everywhere in the world, even where the practice is widely considered ‘a way of doing business’. Under some statutes, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, giving anything of value to a government official to obtain or retain business or favorable treatment is a criminal act subject to prosecution and conviction. Depending on specific circumstances, even a common low valued business gift or entertainment may not be acceptable or create the appearance of improper intentions. Discuss with your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee any proposed entertainment or gifts if you are uncertain about their appropriateness.
 
Anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws may impose record keeping requirements on ICTS. Therefore, all expenses and other payments must be substantiated with documents and accurately recorded with an accurate description of their purpose.

6.
INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS AND EXPORT CONTROLS
 
As a global company, ICTS is governed by (international) export control rules and regulations. ICTS is also required to comply with international sanctioning regimes, including the sanctions regulations of the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) and local sanction regulations of countries in which it operates.
 
Restrictions may include asset freezes, and prohibitions on financial transactions, the provision of services and import / export restrictions. Sanctions against specific individuals and legal entities are listed on the OFAC Sanctions List for the US and on the Consolidated Financial Sanctions List for the EU and possibly local sanctions lists.
 
ICTS is committed to strict adherence to the export control and sanctions laws and regulations in all jurisdictions we do business in. All employees of ICTS shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that under no circumstances sales will be made contrary to related export control and sanctions laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
 

The sanctions imposed on Russia by the European Union, which include targeted (sectoral) restrictive measures (individual sanctions), economic sanctions, diplomatic measures and visa measures;
 

U.S. Embargoes or Sanctions Programs, which restrict or, in some cases, prohibit companies, their subsidiaries and certain employees from trading with, investing in or traveling to certain countries identified on a list that changes periodically (including, for example, Angola (partial), Burma (partial), Cuba, Iran, Liberia, North Korea, Russia, Sudan, Syria and Zimbabwe), specific companies or individuals, or being involved in specific activities such as certain diamond trading and proliferation activities;
 

Export Controls, which prohibit or restrict the export of goods, services and technology to designated countries, denied persons or denied entities from the U.S., the re-export of U.S. origin goods from the country of original destination to such designated countries, and the export of foreign origin goods made with U.S. technology; and
 

Antiboycott Compliance, which prohibits U.S. companies from taking any action that has the effect of furthering or supporting a restrictive trade practice or boycott that is fostered or imposed by a foreign country against a country friendly to the U.S. or against any U.S. person, and requires the reporting of any boycott receipts.
 
Any questions concerning the legitimacy of any transaction or activity, a violation, or potential violation of export control and/or sanctions laws and regulations should be immediately referred to your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, before taking any action, including giving any verbal assurances that might be regulated by international (export control and sanctions) laws and regimes.

7.
MISUSE OF COMPANY COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
 
You may not, while acting on behalf of ICTS or while using our computing or communications equipment or facilities, either:
 

access the internal computer system (also known as ‘hacking’) or other resource of another entity without express written authorization from the entity responsible for operating that resource; or
 

commit any unlawful or illegal act, including harassment, libel, fraud, sending of unsolicited bulk email (also known as ‘spam’) in violation of applicable law, trafficking in contraband of any kind, or espionage.
 
If you receive authorization to access another entity’s internal computer system or other resource, you must make a permanent record of that authorization so that it may be retrieved for future reference, and you may not exceed the scope of that authorization.
 
Unsolicited bulk email is regulated by law in a number of jurisdictions and is subject to the applicable law. If you intend to send unsolicited bulk email to persons outside of ICTS, either while acting on our behalf or using our computing or communications equipment or facilities, you should obtain prior approval from your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee.
 
All data residing on or transmitted through our computing and communications facilities, including email and word processing documents, is the property of ICTS and subject to inspection, retention and review by ICTS in accordance with applicable law of each jurisdiction.
 
8.
ENVIRONMENT COMPLIANCE
 
The laws of the various jurisdictions where we do business can impose criminal liability on any person or company that contaminates the environment with any hazardous substance that could cause injury to the community or environment. Violation of environmental laws can be a criminal offense and can involve monetary fines and imprisonment. We expect employees to comply with all applicable environmental laws.
 
It is our policy to conduct our business in an environmentally responsible way that environmental impacts. We are committed to minimizing and, if possible, eliminating the use of any substance or material that may cause environmental damage, reducing waste generation and disposing of all waste through safe and responsible methods, minimizing environmental risks by employing safe technologies and operating procedures, and being prepared to respond appropriately to accidents and emergencies.
 
9.
MAINTENANCE OF CORPORATE BOOKS, RECORDS, DOCUMENTS AND ACCOUNTS; FINANCIAL INTEGRITY; PUBLIC REPORTING
 
ICTS is committed to producing full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that it files with, or submits to, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other regulators. Accordingly, ICTS requires honest and accurate recording and reporting of information. All of ICTS’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect ICTS’s transactions and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to ICTS’s system of internal controls. By way of example, unrecorded or ‘off the books’ funds or assets should not be maintained, only the true and actual number of hours should be reported, and business expense accounts must be documented and recorded accurately.
B - 6

 
Business records and communications sometimes become public. Accordingly, we should avoid exaggeration, derogatory remarks, guesswork, or inappropriate characterizations of people and companies that may be misunderstood. This applies equally to e-mail, internal memos, and formal reports. Records should always be retained or destroyed according to ICTS’s record retention policies pursuant to the applicable laws of each jurisdiction. Inappropriate access or modifications to, or unauthorized destruction of, accounting or other business records is prohibited, and breach thereof is subject to consequences pursuant to the applicable laws of each jurisdiction. We note that this may also constitute a ‘personal data breach’ in the sense of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) that may require that a data breach notification is made to the competent Data Protection Authority in the event that such breach may result in risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, and also to the data subjects if such risk should be considered high. In order to be able to comply with the obligations applicable to ICTS in that respect (and within the prescribed timeframes) under the applicable laws for each jurisdiction, please consult the ICTS data breach policy and inform the Data Protection Officers, Chief Financial Officers or General Counsel for privacy/compliance related matters immediately. These prohibitions apply to all business records and data, regardless of whether such data and records are in written form or electronically stored.
 
10.
FAIRDEALING
 
We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly. We seek competitive advantages though superior performance and never through unethical or illegal business practices. Stealing proprietary information, possessing trade secret information that was obtained without the owner’s consent, or inducing such disclosures by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited. Each director, officer and employee should endeavor to respect the rights of and deal fairly with ICTS’s customers, suppliers, competitors and employees. No unfair advantage should be taken of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair dealing practice.
 
11.
COMPETITION LAW
 
The European competition rules are laid down in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (in particular Articles 101 and 102). These rules are supplemented in each EU member state by national competition rules set out in the national competition laws. These national laws are applicable in parallel with the European competition rules. For instance, in the Netherlands, the European competition rules are supplemented by the Dutch Competition Act (“Mededingingswet”)
 
European competition rules prohibit all agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices of undertakings which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within the European common market, or a substantial part thereof. National competition laws prohibit the similar infringements within the respective national markets (or a part thereof). Such agreements may for instance directly or indirectly fix purchase or selling prices or any other trading conditions; limit or control production, markets, technical development, or investment; share markets or sources of supply. This list is not limitative.
 
Undertakings are also prohibited from abusing a dominant position through exclusionary, discriminatory or exploitative practices.
B - 7

 
Antitrust laws in the United States are designed to protect the competitive process. These laws generally prohibit:
 

agreements, formal or informal, with competitors that harm competition or customers, including price fixing and allocations of customers, territories or contracts;

agreements, formal or informal, that establish or fix the price at which a customer may resell a product; and

the acquisition or maintenance of a monopoly or attempted monopoly through anti-competitive conduct.

Certain kinds of information, such as pricing, production and inventory, should not be exchanged with competitors, regardless of how innocent or casual the exchange may be and regardless of the setting, whether business or social.
 
Most jurisdictions outside the EU and the US also have their own competition legislation, which may differ from both EU and US law. ICTS will comply with the respective competition regimes of the jurisdictions in which they operate.
 
Certain transactions require prior approval from the European Commission (or from one or more national competition authorities). These include transactions whereby two or more undertakings merge, or set up a joint venture, or an undertaking acquires control over another, subject to a number of minimum turnover criteria. In case the thresholds for notification to the European Commission are exceeded (‘EU dimension’), national authorities do not have jurisdiction (‘one-stop-shop’ principle).
 
Undertakings can be fined by the European Commission for infringing the European competition rules. Undertakings can be fined up to 10% of the annual group worldwide turnover. Fines can also be imposed by national competition authorities, some of which may also impose fines on natural persons (i.e. (de facto) managers). Moreover, fines can be imposed when undertakings do not cooperate with the European Commission or with national competition authorities. The fines for undertakings and their (de facto) managers for infringing the competition rules are subject to the applicable law of each jurisdiction.
 
The above is merely a general outline of the competition rules in the Netherlands, the European Union, and the United States. For more information and specific guidelines regarding competition law in a certain jurisdiction, please ask your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.
 
12.
PROTECTION AND PROPER USE OF COMPANY ASSETS
 
All employees are expected to protect our assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on our profitability. Our property, such as office supplies, computer equipment, buildings, and products, are expected to be used only for legitimate business purposes, although incidental personal use may be permitted. Employees should be mindful of the fact that we can retain the right to access, review, monitor and disclose any information transmitted, received or stored using our electronic equipment, with or without an employee’s or third party’s knowledge, consent or approval. Any misuse or suspected misuse of our assets must be immediately reported to your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee.
B - 8

 
13.
CONFIDENTIALITY
 
One of our most important assets is our confidential information. Employees who have received or have access to confidential information should take care to keep this information confidential. Confidential information may include business, technical, marketing, and service plans, financial information, product specifications or architecture, source codes, engineering, and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, customer lists, pricing strategies, personnel data, personally identifiable information pertaining to our employees, customers or other individuals (including, for example, names, addresses, telephone numbers and social security numbers), and similar types of information provided to us by our customers, suppliers and partners. This information may be protected by privacy, data protection, patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws.
 
You should also take care not to inadvertently disclose confidential information. Materials that contain confidential information, such as memos, notebooks, computer disks and laptop computers, should be stored securely. Unauthorized posting or discussion of any information concerning our business, information or prospects on the Internet is prohibited. You may not discuss our business, information or prospects in any ‘chat room’, regardless of whether you use your own name or a pseudonym. Be cautious when discussing sensitive information in public places like elevators, airports, restaurants and ‘quasi-public’ areas within ICTS, such as cafeterias. All ICTS emails, voicemails and other communications are presumed confidential and should not be forwarded or otherwise disseminated outside of ICTS, except where required for legitimate business purposes.
 
During the employment as well as after its termination the employee shall treat as strictly confidential and not disclose to third parties, whether directly or indirectly, in any form or manner whatsoever, any information which has come to his/her knowledge regarding the business and interests of ICTS and/or affiliated companies and businesses and/or its customers and other business relations, all this in the broadest sense, unless the discharge of his/her duties under the employment requires the disclosure of such information to third parties on a need-to-know basis.
 
In the event that the employee is suspended and upon termination of his/her employment the employee shall at ICTS’s first request to that effect surrender to ICTS all property of ICTS in his/her possession as well as all documents which in any way whatever relate to ICTS and/or affiliated companies and/or its customers and other business relations, all this in the broadest sense, as well as all copies of such documents (whether or not recorded on data carriers) and property.
 
14.
PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION
 
Personal data and any information relating to an identified or identifiable person (such as but not limited to (full) names, contact details, bank details or other identification numbers), must be processed and handled in accordance with the applicable data protection and privacy laws of each jurisdiction, such as the GDPR. In addition to the above responsibilities, if you are processing and/or handling personal data or any other information that may include personal data, you must process and handle that information solely in accordance with the applicable privacy and data protection laws and more specifically with our internal policies. All privacy and data protection related policies are accessible at the company offices or can be requested from your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee.
B - 9

 
15.
MEDIA/PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS
 
It is our policy to disclose material information concerning ICTS to the public only through specific limited channels to avoid inappropriate publicity and to ensure that all those with an interest in the company will have equal access to information. All inquiries or calls from the press and financial analysts should be referred to a Principal Financial Officer.
 
16.
WAIVERS
 
There will be no waivers of this Code unless an exception is made in accordance with this Code.
 
17.
COMPLIANCE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES
 
Compliance Resources
 
Your most immediate resource for any matter related to the Code is your supervisor. He or she may have the information you need, or may be able to refer the question to another appropriate source. There may, however, be times when you prefer not to go to your supervisor. In these instances, you should feel free to discuss your concern with a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee.
 
Clarifying Questions and Concerns; Reporting Possible Violations
 
If you encounter a situation or are considering a course of action and its appropriateness is unclear, discuss the matter promptly with your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee; even the appearance of impropriety can be very damaging and should be avoided.
 
If you are aware of a suspected or actual violation of Code standards by others, you have a responsibility to report it. You are expected to promptly provide a compliance resource with a specific description of the violation that you believe has occurred, including any information you have about the persons involved and the time of the violation. Whether you choose to speak with your supervisor, a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, you should do so without fear of any form of retaliation. We will take prompt disciplinary action against any employee who retaliates against you, up to and including termination of employment.
 
Supervisors must promptly report any complaints or observations of Code violations to a Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. A Principal Financial Officer, the General Counsel or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee will investigate all reported possible Code violations promptly and with the highest degree of confidentiality that is possible under the specific circumstances. Your cooperation in the investigation will be expected.
 
In case of non-compliance with the applicable legislation, ICTS and all employees can become the subject of an investigations by authorities in the different jurisdictions and could be prosecuted. This could result in severe fines, imprisonment, and other penalties.
 
IF THE INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT A VIOLATION OF THE CODE HAS PROBABLY OCCURRED, WE WILL TAKE SUCH ACTION AS WE BELIEVE TO BE APPROPRIATE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. IF WE DETERMINE THAT AN EMPLOYEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A CODE VIOLATION, HE OR SHE WILL BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND/OR THE (EMPLOYMENT) AGREEMENT, INCLUDING TERMINATION OF THE (EMPLOYMENT) AGREMEENT, AS WELL AS CIVIL OR CRIMINAL SANCTIONS.  APPROPRIATE ACTION MAY ALSO BE TAKEN TO DETER ANY FUTURE CODE VIOLATIONS.

18.
SECTION 406 OFFICERS
 
The Section 406 Officers shall supervise the implementation of measures that are designed to ensure that information disclosed in reports and documents filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, or contained in other public communications made by ICTS, is full, fair, accurate, complete, timely and understandable.
 
The Section 406 Officers shall promptly bring to the attention of the Audit Committee of the ICTS's Supervisory Board any material information of which he or she may become aware that could affect the disclosures made by ICTS in its public filings.
 
The Section 406 Officers shall promptly bring to the attention of the Audit Committee any information he or she may have concerning (i) significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect ICTS ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in ICTS’s financial reporting, disclosures or internal controls.
 
The Section 406 Officers shall promptly bring to the attention of ICTS’s Corporate Compliance Officer and to the Audit Committee any information he or she may have concerning any violation of this Code of Ethics or ICTS’s Business Conduct Guidelines by any director, officer or other employee of the Company.
 
The Section 406 Officers shall promptly bring to the attention of the Corporate Compliance Officer and to the Audit Committee any material transaction or relationship that arises and of which he or she becomes aware that reasonably could be expected to give rise to an actual or apparent conflict of interest between a director or senior officer of ICTS, on the one hand, and ICTS, on the other. Any failure of a Section 406 Officer to observe the terms of this Code of Ethics or the Business Conduct Guidelines may result in appropriate disciplinary action that shall be designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote accountability to this Code of Ethics and the Business Conduct Guidelines.
 
The Audit Committee shall be responsible for recommending to the ICTS’s Supervisory Board whether and on what terms to grant to any Section 406 Officer a waiver of this Code of Ethics or the Business Conduct Guidelines. The decision to grant to any Section 406 Officer a waiver of this Code of Ethics or the Business Conduct Guidelines shall be made by the Supervisory Board and shall be promptly disclosed to the public and ICTS’s shareholders in accordance with applicable law and listing standards.

NOTE ABOUT TRANSLATION:

This document is an English translation of a deed (to be) executed in the Dutch language. In preparing this document, an attempt has been made to translate as literally as possible without jeopardising the overall continuity of the text. Inevitably, however, differences may occur in translation and if they do, the Dutch text will govern by law.
