Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Persons identified herein to report a change in the Reporting Persons’ beneficial holdings of the issuer. The initial filing by the Reporting Persons (as subsequently amended) related to the acquisition of 25,783,675 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) and two series of convertible preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) of Tingo Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) by Agri-Fintech Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation controlled by Dozy Mmobuosi (“AFHI”). The Common Stock and Preferred Stock was acquired by AFHI in connection with the sale of Tingo Mobile Limited, AFHI’s then wholly-owned subsidiary, to the Company pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on October 6, 2022, among AFHI, the Company, and representatives of each of the shareholders of AFHI and the Company (“Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued to AFHI the Common Stock, as well as the Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock) that are or may be convertible into additional shares of Company common stock based on the fulfillment of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and further summarized below.

On July 26, 2023, AFHI received 26,042,808 additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. AFHI still holds 33,687.21 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) that, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, are convertible into an additional 336,872,138 shares of Company Common Stock. If the shares of Series B Preferred Stock beneficially held by the Reporting Persons are converted into common stock, the Reporting Persons would beneficially hold, in the aggregate, 378,698,621 shares of common stock, or 65.43% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.

On October 16, 2023, AFHI sold 10,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock.

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 28 West Grand Avenue, Suite 3, Montvale, New Jersey 07645.
