<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear&nbsp;Stockholder, </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I&nbsp;am very grateful for your
support of Mitek and&nbsp;am&nbsp;deeply&nbsp;committed to growing value&nbsp;for all&nbsp;of our&nbsp;stockholders.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Last&nbsp;year, Mitek&#146;s
revenue&nbsp;increased&nbsp;37%&nbsp;as we&nbsp;diversified&nbsp;our product portfolio and&nbsp;entered&nbsp;the large and growing ID verification market. A major success factor has been our ability to hire and retain talented professionals within a
very competitive market using stock grants.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You have received our Proxy in which&nbsp;our Board of Directors is recommending that you vote
&#147;FOR&#148;&nbsp;our proposals. One of the proposals is to increase our equity pool for stock grants to employees. I&#146;d like to provide&nbsp;some&nbsp;background as the intent&nbsp;of this proposal&nbsp;is relatively simple&nbsp;despite the
dense legal language.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Forty percent&nbsp;of the&nbsp;proposed&nbsp;new shares,&nbsp;or 1,400,000 shares, are&nbsp;reserved for annual recruitment and
retention awards to&nbsp;employees and other eligible plan participants.&nbsp;We currently have a reserve of&nbsp;around&nbsp;1,100,000 shares&nbsp;in&nbsp;our existing Plan, and the additional shares would provide a&nbsp;total
pool&nbsp;of&nbsp;around&nbsp;2,500,000 shares. Our compensation policy targets the 50th percentile of employee compensation for our peer group of companies. I&nbsp;expect this pool to adequately provide competitive incentives to
our&nbsp;growing&nbsp;staff for two to three years.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sixty percent&nbsp;of the proposed&nbsp;new shares,&nbsp;or 2,100,000 shares,&nbsp;are exclusively
reserved for a new performance based Long Term Incentive Program that&nbsp;will<I> <U>only</U></I>&nbsp;award&nbsp;the full&nbsp;amount among designated&nbsp;senior management&nbsp;at a&nbsp;target&nbsp;share&nbsp;price of $20, with a floor of
$16&nbsp;providing half the amount. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The&nbsp;term of the program is&nbsp;just under&nbsp;three years at which time the Board will determine if the target
price has been met. To do so, the Board will calculate&nbsp;the average share price during <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">a&nbsp;20-trading&nbsp;day&nbsp;period&nbsp;following</FONT> the filing of our&nbsp;fiscal 2019 <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K.</FONT> If our average stock&nbsp;price&nbsp;is&nbsp;not above&nbsp;the&nbsp;$16 stock price&nbsp;floor,&nbsp;the shares reserved for this program&nbsp;will&nbsp;be canceled and the&nbsp;shares will&nbsp;remain
unissued&nbsp;permanently as the program has ended. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We need to break out of a single digit stock price and are working very hard to achieve that.
This&nbsp;Long-Term&nbsp;Incentive Program&nbsp;is a powerful incentive&nbsp;that&nbsp;strongly&nbsp;aligns management and stockholder goals. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Board
is comprised of myself and six independent Directors, and our Compensation Committee is chaired by the former CEO of&nbsp;MasterCard who has implemented a similar program at a large NYSE company with great success. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mitek has continued to innovate while maintaining financial prudence and growing profitability.&nbsp;We believe our proposal for stock awards provides the
necessary incentives to compete effectively with top talent and helps position us for continued high growth. We encourage you&nbsp;to review the full information about our proposals in the Proxy and to vote&nbsp;&#147;FOR&#148; on all proposals. We
appreciate your continued support. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sincerely, </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
