the Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 12, 2012 (the &ldquo;Merger Agreement&rdquo;), with
Cazador Acquisition Corporation Ltd., a Cayman Islands limited corporation (&ldquo;Cazador&rdquo;). Cazador has filed, and the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) has declared effective, a registration statement on Form S-4. The registration
statement includes a prospectus of Cazador that also constitutes a joint proxy statement of Cazador and the Company. The definitive
joint proxy statement/prospectus is first being mailed or otherwise delivered to stockholders of Cazador and Net Element on or
about September 5, 2012. Before making any voting decision, stockholders are urged to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus
carefully and in its entirety because it contains important information about the proposed merger. Stockholders may obtain, without
charge, a copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents filed with the SEC through the SEC&rsquo;s
website at http://www.sec.gov. Stockholders also may obtain, without charge, a copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and
other relevant documents filed with the SEC by contacting the Company&rsquo;s Chief Financial Officer, Jonathan New, at 1450 S.
Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33130, telephone number (305) 507-8808, or from the Company&rsquo;s website at http://www.netelement.com.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">This report contains
forward-looking statements that reflect the Company&rsquo;s current beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future events.
Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Words
such as &ldquo;will,&rdquo; &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;could,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;expected,&rdquo;
&ldquo;proposed,&rdquo; &ldquo;contemplated,&rdquo; &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;planned,&rdquo; &ldquo;project,&rdquo; &ldquo;forecast,&rdquo;

&ldquo;hope,&rdquo; &ldquo;estimate,&rdquo; &ldquo;estimated,&rdquo; &ldquo;predict,&rdquo; &ldquo;potential,&rdquo; &ldquo;continue,&rdquo;
and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, the Company&rsquo;s expectations with respect to the entering into the factoring agreement with Alfa-Bank and the mobile
payments processing capacity. All forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, many of which are generally outside
the control of the Company and are difficult to predict. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to: (i) failure of TOT Money to enter into the factoring agreement with Alpha-Bank for any reason; (ii) modifications and termination
of contracts; (iii) general business and economic conditions; (iii) the performance of financial markets; (iv) control and operational
issues pertaining to business activities that the Company conducts on its own behalf or pursuant to joint ventures with other parties;
and (v) the need to retain and recruit key technical and management personnel. Additional factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements can be found in the most recent annual report
on Form 10-K and the subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company with
the SEC, as well as the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments
may cause its views and expectations to change. The Company assumes no obligation, and it specifically disclaims any intention
or obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.</P>

On September 5, 2012,
Net Element, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that Alfa-Bank, Russia's largest private
bank, has extended to the Company's mobile payment processing company, TOT Money, a credit facility of 300 million rubles
(approximately US$9.5 million) and plans to extend to TOT Money another 300 million rubles (approximately US$9.5 million) under
a planned factoring agreement to support TOT Money's next stage of growth and operations.
The information furnished
pursuant to this Item, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section
18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to liability under that
section, and such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The furnishing of information
under this Item is not intended to constitute a determination by the Company that the information contained herein (including Exhibit
99.1 hereto) is material or that the dissemination of such information is required by Regulation FD.
Disclaimer
This communication
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities
in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of such jurisdiction. No offer or sale of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the
requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Additional Information
As previously reported,
the Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 12, 2012 (the "Merger Agreement"), with
Cazador Acquisition Corporation Ltd., a Cayman Islands limited corporation ("Cazador"). Cazador has filed, and the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has declared effective, a registration statement on Form S-4. The registration
statement includes a prospectus of Cazador that also constitutes a joint proxy statement of Cazador and the Company. The definitive
joint proxy statement/prospectus is first being mailed or otherwise delivered to stockholders of Cazador and Net Element on or
about September 5, 2012. Before making any voting decision, stockholders are urged to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus
carefully and in its entirety because it contains important information about the proposed merger. Stockholders may obtain, without
charge, a copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents filed with the SEC through the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov. Stockholders also may obtain, without charge, a copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and
other relevant documents filed with the SEC by contacting the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Jonathan New, at 1450 S.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains
forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's current beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future events.
Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Words
such as "will," "may," "could," "should," "expect," "expected,"

"going forward," "intend," "anticipate," "anticipated," "believe,"
"hope," "estimate," "estimated," "predict," "potential," "continue,"
and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, the Company's expectations with respect to the entering into the factoring agreement with Alfa-Bank and the mobile
payments processing capacity. All forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, many of which are generally outside
the control of the Company and are difficult to predict. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to: (i) failure of TOT Money to enter into the factoring agreement with Alpha-Bank for any reason; (ii) modifications and termination
of contracts; (iii) general business and economic conditions; (iii) the performance of financial markets; (iv) control and operational
issues pertaining to business activities that the Company conducts on its own behalf or pursuant to joint ventures with other parties;
and (v) the need to retain and recruit key technical and management personnel. Additional factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements can be found in the most recent annual report
on Form 10-K and the subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company with
the SEC, as well as the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments
may cause its views and expectations to change. The Company assumes no obligation, and it specifically disclaims any intention
or obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
