CUSIP No. M69676 209 

 

The following constitutes the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Schedule 13D”).

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This statement relates to the Ordinary Shares, NIS 0.03 par value (the “Shares”), of Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 15 Hatidhar Street, Ra’anana 4366517, Israel.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

(a) This statement is filed by:

 

(i)

Custodian Ventures LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Custodian”), with respect to the Shares directly owned by it; and

 

(ii)

Activist Investing LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Activist”), with respect to the Shares directly owned by it; and

 

(iii)

David Elliot Lazar, individually and as the sole member and Chief Executive Officer of Custodian and Activist.

 

Each of the foregoing is referred to as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons.” Each of the Reporting Persons is party to that certain Joint Filing Agreement, as further described in Item 6. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D.

 

(b) The principal business address of the Reporting Persons is 1185 Avenue of the Americas, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10036.

 

(c) The principal business of Custodian is investing in securities and engaging in all related activities and transactions. The principal occupation of Mr. Lazar is serving as Chief Executive Officer of Custodian.

 

(d) No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

(e) No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

(f) Mr. Lazar is a citizen of the United States of America and of Israel.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The Shares purchased by Custodian were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 424,800 Shares directly beneficially owned by Custodian is approximately $719,000, excluding brokerage commissions.

 

CUSIP No. M69676 209 

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Further to the letter to the Issuer, which was attached as exhibit 99.1(b) to Amendment 1 to Schedule 13D filed on January 20, 2021, the Reporting Persons communicated to the Company’s board of directors concrete offers, one of which was from a company engaged in the field of bitcoin mining, for a business combination transaction with the Company. Unfortunately, no serious consideration has been given to such offers by the Company’s board of directors. The failure by the Company’s board of directors to seriously review the solid offers that were presented to them, prevents the Company from potentially unlocking meaningful value for the Company’s shareholders. This type of conduct continues to support the Reporting Persons’ wish to replace the current members of the Company’s board of directors in the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders scheduled to take place on May 5, 2021.

 

The Reporting Persons encourage all shareholders to mail in their proxy cards voting for the removal of the current board members and the appointment of the Reporting Persons’ nominees to the board in their stead.

 

The Reporting Persons emphasize that only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2021 will be entitled to vote on the proposed resolution to replace the current board.
