EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, or the Post-Effective Amendment, to each of the Registration Statements on Form F-1 (Registration Nos. 333-248670 and 333-250193), or, collectively, the Registration Statements, is being filed pursuant to our undertaking in the Registration Statements to update and supplement information contained in the Registration Statements, as originally declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on November 18, 2020 and as it became effective upon filing with the SEC on November 19, 2020, respectively. The Registration Statements registered the offer and sale of an aggregate of (a) 835,447 units, with each unit consisting of (i) one American Depositary Share, or ADS, and (ii) two warrants to purchase two ADSs and (b) 1,670,894 ordinary shares underlying the ADSs issuable upon exercise of such warrants. Such units were issued as part of a public offering, or the Public Offering. Such warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $5.02 per ADS, and were exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire on November 23, 2025.

 

As of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment, our ADR program has been terminated and our ADS’ have been converted to ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. Upon termination of our ADR program, all outstanding options and warrants to purchase ADS’ were converted to options or warrants, respectively, to purchase ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.

 

The information included in this filing updates and supplements the Registration Statements and the prospectus contained or incorporated therein. No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment. Accordingly, this Post-Effective Amendment concerns only the offer and sale of Ordinary Shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of the warrants issued in the Public Offering that remain unexercised, or the Outstanding Warrants.

 

All filing fees payable to the SEC in connection with the registration of these securities were previously paid in connection with the initial filing of the Registration Statements or prior amendments thereto.

  

 

 

 

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be sold until the post-effective amendment to the registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities nor does it seek an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

Subject to Completion, dated August 27, 2021

 

PROSPECTUS

 

Up to 1,454,794 Ordinary Shares

Issuable Upon Exercise of Warrants

 

 

 

SCISPARC LTD.

  

This prospectus relates to the issuance of up to 1,454,794 ordinary shares, no par value, or the Ordinary Shares, upon the exercise of warrants to purchase 1,454,794 Ordinary Shares, or the Outstanding Warrants, that were issued as part of a public offering of units consisting of ADSs and warrants, or the Public Offering, which are exercisable at an exercise price of $5.02 per ADS, and were exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire on November 23, 2025.

  

The ADSs, each representing one of our Ordinary Shares, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs, were quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “SPRCY.” On August 25, 2021, the last reported sale price of our ADSs was $4.00 per ADS. As of the date of the registration statements of which this prospectus is a part, our ADR program has been terminated and all outstanding ADSs have been converted into ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. All outstanding options and warrants to purchase ADSs have been converted into options or warrants, respectively, to purchase ordinary shares.

 

We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the trading symbol “SPRCY”. Subject to approval of listing on Nasdaq, our Ordinary Shares will be listed on Nasdaq, or, if Nasdaq approval has not yet been obtained, then we expect that the Ordinary Shares will be quoted on the OTCQB. No assurance can be given that our Nasdaq listing application will be approved.

 

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves risks. Please carefully consider the risk factors described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, including those set forth under the caption “Item 3. Key Information - D. Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus. You should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment. 

 

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities and this Offering

 

There is currently no established public trading market for our Ordinary Shares and no assurance can be given that one will develop.

 

There is currently no established public trading market for our Ordinary Shares. We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq under the trading symbol “SPRCY”. Subject to approval of listing on Nasdaq, our Ordinary Shares will be listed on Nasdaq, or, if Nasdaq approval has not yet been obtained, then we expect that the Ordinary Shares will be quoted on the OTCQB. No assurance can be given that our listing application will be approved or that an established public trading market for our Ordinary Shares will develop.

 

Our management will have immediate and broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively. 

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants for working capital, which includes research and development. See “Use of Proceeds.” However, our management will have broad discretion in the application of any such net proceeds. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate the net proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants in connection with this offering. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants in connection with this offering in a manner that does not produce income. The decisions made by our management may not result in positive returns on your investment and you will not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information upon which our management bases its decisions. 

 

The exercise of outstanding options and warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares will cause significant dilution to holders of our equity securities.

 

As of August 25, 2021, holders of outstanding options may exercise their options in up to 5,436 Ordinary Shares and holders of outstanding warrants may exercise their warrants to purchase up to 3,195,573 Ordinary Shares. In the event that such options or warrants are exercised, the ownership interest of existing holders of our equity securities will be diluted. See “Dilution” for further information.

 

Significant holders or beneficial holders of our Ordinary Shares may not be permitted to exercise Outstanding Warrants that they hold.

 

The terms of the Outstanding Warrants being offered hereby will prohibit a holder from exercising its Outstanding Warrants if doing so would result in such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such holder’s affiliates) beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, provided that, at the election of a holder and notice to us, such beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or decreased, from time to time, to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your Outstanding Warrants at a time when it would be financially beneficial for you to do so.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements made under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” and elsewhere in this prospectus, including in our 2020 Annual Report  and our Report of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K furnished with the SEC on August 16, 2021, incorporated by reference herein, and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “believe,” “should,” “intend,” “project” or other similar words, but are not the only way these statements are identified.

 

These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, statements that contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, expected capital needs and expenses, statements relating to the research, development, completion and use of our products, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.

 

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate. 

 

Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include, among other things:

 

  our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional securities;
     
  our ability to advance the development our product candidates, including the anticipated starting and ending dates of our anticipated clinical trials;
     
  our assessment of the potential of our product candidates to treat certain indications;
     
  our ability to successfully receive approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or other regulatory bodies, including approval to conduct clinical trials, the scope of those trials and the prospects for regulatory approval of, or other regulatory action with respect to our product candidates, including the regulatory pathway to be designated to our product candidates;
     
  the regulatory environment and changes in the health policies and regimes in the countries in which we operate, including the impact of any changes in regulation and legislation that could affect the pharmaceutical industry;
     
  our ability to commercialize our existing product candidates and future sales of our existing product candidates or any other future potential product candidates;
     
  our ability to meet our expectations regarding the commercial supply of our product candidates;
     
  the overall global economic environment;
     
  the impact of COVID-19 and resulting government actions on us;
     
  the impact of competition and new technologies;
     
  general market, political and economic conditions in the countries in which we operate;
     
  projected capital expenditures and liquidity;
     
  the impact of competition and new technologies;

 

  changes in our strategy;
     
  litigation;
     
  our ability to list our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq and our ongoing ability to remain eligible to list our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq; and
     
  those factors referred to above and in “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors,” “Item 4. Information on the Company,” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” of our 2020 Annual Report as well other factors in the 2020 Annual Report.

 

These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in this prospectus in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” and other risk factors contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We may receive up to an aggregate of approximately $7.3 million in proceeds upon the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants.

 

We currently expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants for working capital, which includes research and development. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on multiple factors. Therefore, our management will retain broad discretion over the use of the proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants.

 

Pending application of the net proceeds for the purposes as described above, we expect to invest the net proceeds in low-risk investments in order to maintain value, as decided by our board of directors from time to time.

(U.S. dollars in thousands)

The above discussion and table are based on 2,275,190 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of August 25, 2021, and excludes, unless indicated otherwise, the following as of such date:

 

  5,436 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding under our 2015 Share Option Plan, at a weighted average exercise price of $319.20 per share;
     
  10,279 Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance and available for future grant under our 2015 Share Option Plan;
     
  3,195,573 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, including the Outstanding Warrants offered herein, to purchase 3,195,573 Ordinary Shares, with exercise prices ranging from $5.02 to $245.00 per Ordinary Shares; and
     
  136,312 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase 136,312 Ordinary Shares, at an exercise price of $0.001 per Ordinary Shares.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our securities, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the price per Ordinary Share you will pay upon exercise of the Outstanding Warrants and the pro forma net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after exercise of all of the Outstanding Warrants.

 

Our net tangible book value per Ordinary Share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares. As of June 30, 2021, there was net tangible book value associated with our Ordinary Shares of $3.34 per Ordinary Share. Net tangible book value per Ordinary Share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by 2,269,190 the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at June 30, 2021.

 

After giving effect to the issuance of 1,454,794 Ordinary Shares upon exercise of all of the Outstanding Warrants for cash in this offering, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2021 would have been approximately $14.8 million representing $3.99 per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.65 per Ordinary Share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.03 per Ordinary Share to Outstanding Warrant holders purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution of $1.03 per Ordinary Share basis:

 

Exercise price per Outstanding Warrant   $ 5.02  
Net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of June 30, 2021     3.34  
Increase in net tangible book value per Ordinary Share attributable to Outstanding Warrant holders purchasing Ordinary Shares pursuant to Outstanding Warrant exercises in this offering     0.65  
As adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share, to give effect to Outstanding Warrant holders purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering     3.99  
Dilution per Ordinary Share to Outstanding Warrant holders purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering     1.03  
Percentage of dilution in net tangible book value per Ordinary Share for Outstanding Warrant holders     20.39 %

 

The above discussion and table assume that all of the Outstanding Warrants offered hereby are exercised and is based on based on 2,275,190 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of August 25, 2021, and excludes, unless indicated otherwise, the following as of such date:

 

  5,436 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding under our 2015 Share Option Plan, at a weighted average exercise price of $319.20 per share;
     
  10,279 Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance and available for future grant under our 2015 Share Option Plan;
     
  1,740,779 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase 1,740,779 Ordinary Shares, with exercise prices ranging from $5.02 to $245.00 per Ordinary Share; and
     
  136,312 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase 136,312 Ordinary Shares, all of which were vested as of such date, at an exercise price of $0.001 per Ordinary Share.

 

To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, or we issue additional Ordinary Shares under our equity incentive plans, you may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current and future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of those securities could result in further dilution to the holders of our Ordinary Shares.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of August 25, 2021 by:

 

  each of our executive officers and directors; and
     
  all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes voting or investment power with respect to Ordinary Shares. Ordinary Shares issuable under share options or warrants that are exercisable within 60 days after August 27, 2021 are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options or warrants but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned before this offering is based on 2,282,690 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of August 25, 2021. The number of Ordinary Shares deemed outstanding after this offering includes the exercise of all Outstanding Warrants.

 

Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, we believe that the shareholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Ordinary Shares shown to be beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise noted below, each beneficial owner’s address is: c/o SciSparc Ltd., 20 Raul Wallenberg Street, Tower A, Second Floor, Tel Aviv 6971916, Israel.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL 

 

The following description of our share capital and provisions of our articles of association are summaries and do not purport to be complete.

 

General

 

As of August 25, 2021, our authorized share capital consisted of 25,714,286 of our Ordinary Shares, of which 2,275,190 Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding. All of our outstanding Ordinary Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

As of August 25, 2021, an additional 5,435 of our Ordinary Shares were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase our Ordinary Shares. The exercise price of the options outstanding ranges between $210.00 and $896.00 per share.

Articles of Association

 

Registration Number and Purposes of the Company

 

Our registration number with the Israeli Registrar of Companies is 51-358165-2. Our purpose as set forth in our articles of association is to engage in any lawful activity.

 

Preemptive Rights

 

Our Ordinary Shares are not redeemable and are not subject to any preemptive right.

 

Transfer of Shares

 

Our fully paid Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred under our articles of association, unless the transfer is restricted or prohibited by another instrument, applicable law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the shares are listed for trade. The ownership or voting of our Ordinary Shares by non-residents of Israel is not restricted in any way by our articles of association or the laws of the State of Israel, except for ownership by nationals of certain countries that are, or have been, in a state of war with Israel.

 

Liability to Further Capital Calls

 

Our board of directors may make, from time to time, such calls as it may deem fit upon shareholders with respect to any sum unpaid with respect to shares held by such shareholders which is not payable at a fixed time. Such shareholder has to pay the amount of every call so made upon him or her.

 

Election of Directors

 

Under our articles of association, our board of directors must consist of at least three (3) and not more than eight (8) directors, including two external directors appointed as required under the Israeli Companies Law, or the Companies Law. Other than our external directors, our directors are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Each class of directors consists, as nearly as possible, of one third of the total number of directors constituting the entire board of directors. At each annual general meeting of our shareholders, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors is for a term of office that expires on the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election, such that from 2020 and after, at each annual general meeting the term of office only one class of directors will expire. Each director, holds office until the annual general meeting of our shareholders for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor is duly appointed, unless the tenure of such director expires earlier pursuant to the Companies Law upon the occurrence of certain events or unless removed from office by a vote of the holders of at least 65% of the total voting power of our shareholders at a general meeting of our shareholders in accordance with our amended and restated articles of association.

Further, our shareholders approved an approval mechanism similar to a mechanism that exists in the Delaware Generate Corporate Law, which requires an affirmative vote of the board of directors (by 75% of the members) in addition to the approval of our shareholders in order to amend such provisions.

 

In addition, if a director’s office becomes vacant, the remaining serving directors may continue to act in any manner, provided that the number of the serving directors shall not be less than three (3). If the number of serving Directors is lower than their minimal one, the board of directors shall not be permitted to act, other than for the purpose of convening a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders for the purpose of appointing additional Directors.

 

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

 

We may declare a dividend to be paid to the holders of our Ordinary Shares in proportion to their respective shareholdings. Under the Companies Law, dividend distributions are determined by the board of directors and do not require the approval of the shareholders of a company unless the company’s articles of association provide otherwise. Our articles of association do not require shareholder approval of a dividend distribution and provide that dividend distributions may be determined by our board of directors.

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the distribution amount is limited to the greater of retained earnings or earnings generated over the previous two years, according to our then last reviewed or audited consolidated financial statements, provided that the date of the financial statements is not more than six months prior to the date of the distribution, or we may distribute dividends that do not meet such criteria only with court approval. In each case, we are only permitted to distribute a dividend if our board of directors and the court, if applicable, determines that there is no reasonable concern that payment of the dividend will prevent us from satisfying our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due.

 

In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders of our Ordinary Shares in proportion to their shareholdings. This right, as well as the right to receive dividends, may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.

  

Exchange Controls

 

There are currently no Israeli currency control restrictions on remittances of dividends on our Ordinary Shares, proceeds from the sale of the shares or interest or other payments to non-residents of Israel, except for shareholders who are subjects of certain countries that are, or have been, in a state of war with Israel.

  

Shareholder Meetings

 

Under the Companies Law, we are required to hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders once every calendar year that must be held no later than 15 months after the date of the previous annual general meeting. All general meetings other than the annual meeting of shareholders are referred to in our articles of association as special general meetings. Our board of directors may call special general meetings whenever it sees fit, at such time and place, within or outside of Israel, as it may determine. In addition, the Companies Law provides that our board of directors is required to convene a special meeting upon the written request of (i) any two of our directors or one-quarter of the members of our board of directors or (ii) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, either (a) 5% or more of our outstanding issued shares and 1% or more of our outstanding voting power or (b) 5% or more of our outstanding voting power.

 

10

 

 

Under the Companies Law, one or more shareholders holding at least 1% of the voting rights at the general meeting may request that the board of directors include a matter in the agenda of a general meeting to be convened in the future, provided that it is appropriate to discuss such a matter at the general meeting.

 

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, shareholders entitled to participate and vote at general meetings are the shareholders of record on a date to be decided by the board of directors, which may be between four and 40 days prior to the date of the meeting. Furthermore, the Companies Law requires that resolutions regarding the following matters must be passed at a general meeting of our shareholders:

 

  amendments to our articles of association;

 

  appointment or termination of our auditors;

 

  appointment of external directors;

 

  approval of certain related party transactions;

 

  increases or reductions of our authorized share capital;

 

  mergers; and

 

  the exercise of our board of directors’ powers by a general meeting, if our board of directors is unable to exercise its power and the exercise of any of its powers is required for our proper management.

 

Under our articles of association, we are not required to give notice to our registered shareholders pursuant to the Companies Law, unless otherwise required by law. The Companies Law requires that a notice of any annual general meeting or extraordinary general meeting be provided to shareholders at least 21 days prior to the meeting and if the agenda of the meeting includes the appointment or removal of directors, the approval of transactions with office holders or interested or related parties, or an approval of a merger, or as otherwise required under applicable law, notice must be provided at least 35 days prior to the meeting.

 

Voting Rights

 

All our Ordinary Shares have identical voting and other rights in all respects.

 

Quorum Requirements

 

Pursuant to our articles of association, holders of our Ordinary Shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote before the shareholders at a general meeting. The quorum required for our general meetings of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders, present in person or by proxy, holding at least fifteen percent (15%) of the voting rights of the Company. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum will be adjourned for one day at the same time and place, or to such other day, time or place if such is stated in the notice of the meeting. At the reconvened meeting, if a quorum is not present within a half an hour, any number of shareholders present in person or by proxy will constitute a lawful quorum.

 

Vote Requirements

 

Our articles of association provide that all resolutions of our shareholders require a simple majority vote, unless otherwise required by the Companies Law or by our articles of association. Under the Companies Law, each of (i) the approval of an extraordinary transaction with a controlling shareholder and (ii) the terms of employment or other engagement of the controlling shareholder of the company or such controlling shareholder’s relative (even if not extraordinary) requires the approval described under “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practices—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law—Disclosure of Personal Interests of a Controlling Shareholder” in our 2020 Annual Report. Certain transactions with respect to remuneration of our office holders and directors require further approvals described under “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practices— Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law— Disclosure of Personal Interests of an Office Holder” in our 2020 Annual Report. Another exception to the simple majority vote requirement is a resolution for the voluntary winding up, or an approval of a scheme of arrangement or reorganization, of the company pursuant to Section 350 of the Companies Law, which requires the approval of the majority of the shareholders voting their shares, other than abstainees, holding at least 75% of the voting rights represented at the meeting, in person, by proxy or by voting deed and voting on the resolution. 

 

11

 

 

Access to Corporate Records

 

Under the Companies Law, shareholders are provided access to minutes of our general meetings, our shareholders register and principal shareholders register, our articles of association, our financial statements and any document that we are required by law to file publicly with the Israeli Companies Registrar or the Israel Securities Authority. In addition, shareholders may request to be provided with any document related to an action or transaction requiring shareholder approval under the related party transaction provisions of the Companies Law. We may deny this request if we believe it has not been made in good faith or if such denial is necessary to protect our interest or protect a trade secret or patent.

 

Modification of Class Rights

 

Under the Companies Law and our articles of association, the rights attached to any class of shares, such as voting, liquidation and dividend rights, may be amended by adoption of a resolution by the holders of a majority of the shares of that class present at a separate class meeting, or otherwise in accordance with the rights attached to such class of shares, as set forth in our articles of association.

   

Acquisitions under Israeli Law

 

Full Tender Offer

 

A person wishing to acquire shares of an Israeli public company and who would as a result hold over 90% of the target company’s issued and outstanding share capital is required by the Companies Law to make a tender offer to all of the company’s shareholders for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the company. A person wishing to acquire shares of a public Israeli company and who would as a result hold over 90% of the issued and outstanding share capital of a certain class of shares is required to make a tender offer to all of the shareholders who hold shares of the relevant class for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of that class. If the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class, and more than half of the shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the offer accept the offer, all of the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer by operation of law. However, a tender offer will also be accepted if the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than 2% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class of shares.

 

Upon a successful completion of such a full tender offer, any shareholder that was an offeree in such tender offer, whether such shareholder accepted the tender offer or not, may, within six months from the date of acceptance of the tender offer, petition an Israeli court to determine whether the tender offer was for less than fair value and that the fair value should be paid as determined by the court. However, under certain conditions, the offeror may include in the terms of the tender offer that an offeree who accepted the offer will not be entitled to petition the Israeli court as described above.

 

If a tender offer is not accepted in accordance with the requirements set forth above, the acquirer may not acquire shares of the company that will increase its holdings to more than 90% of the company’s issued and outstanding share capital or of the applicable class from shareholders who accepted the tender offer.

  

Special Tender Offer

 

The Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares of an Israeli public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company. This requirement does not apply if there is already another holder of at least 25% of the voting rights in the company. Alternatively, such an acquisition may be approved pursuant to a private placement approved by the company’s shareholders with the purpose of approving the acquisition of 25% or more, or 45% or more of the company’s voting rights. Similarly, the Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company, if there is no other shareholder of the company who holds more than 45% of the voting rights in the company, subject to certain exceptions.

 

In the event that a special tender offer is made, a company’s board of directors is required to express its opinion on the advisability of the offer, or shall abstain from expressing any opinion if it is unable to do so, provided that it gives the reasons for its abstention. In addition, the board of directors must disclose any personal interest each member of the board of directors has in the offer or stems therefrom.

 

12

 

 

A special tender offer must be extended to all shareholders of a company but the offeror is not required to purchase shares representing more than 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders. A special tender offer may be consummated only if (i) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror and (ii) the number of shares tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares whose holders objected to the offer (excluding the purchaser and its controlling shareholder, holders of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company or any person having a personal interest in the acceptance of the tender offer or any other person acting on their behalf, including relatives and entities under such person’s control). If a special tender offer is accepted, then the purchaser or any person or entity controlling it or under common control with the purchaser or such controlling person or entity may not make a subsequent tender offer for the purchase of shares of the target company and may not enter into a merger with the target company for a period of one year from the date of the offer, unless the purchaser or such person or entity undertook to effect such an offer or merger in the initial special tender offer.

 

Merger

 

The Companies Law permits merger transactions if approved by each party’s board of directors and, unless certain requirements described under the Companies Law are met, by a majority vote of each party’s shares, and, in the case of the target company, a majority vote of each class of its shares voted on the proposed merger at a shareholders meeting. The board of directors of a merging company is required pursuant to the Companies Law to discuss and determine whether in its opinion there exists a reasonable concern that as a result of a proposed merger, the surviving company will not be able to satisfy its obligations towards its creditors, such determination taking into account the financial status of the merging companies. If the board of directors has determined that such a concern exists, it may not approve a proposed merger.

 

For purposes of the shareholder vote, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger will not be deemed approved if a majority of the votes of the shares represented at the shareholders meeting that are held by parties other than the other party to the merger, or by any person (or group of persons acting in concert) who holds (or hold, as the case may be) 25% or more of the voting rights or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of the other party, vote against the merger. If, however, the merger involves a merger with a company’s own controlling shareholder or if the controlling shareholder has a personal interest in the merger, then the merger is instead subject to the same special majority approval that governs all extraordinary transactions with controlling shareholders (as described under “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practices—Fiduciary duties and approval of specified related party transactions and compensation under Israeli law—Disclosure of personal interests of a controlling shareholder and approval of transactions)” in our 2020 Annual Report. 

 

If the transaction would have been approved by the shareholders of a merging company but for the separate approval of each class or the exclusion of the votes of certain shareholders as provided above, a court may still approve the merger upon the request of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of a company, if the court holds that the merger is fair and reasonable, taking into account the value to the parties to the merger and the consideration offered to the shareholders of the company.

  

Upon the request of a creditor of either party to the proposed merger, the court may delay or prevent the merger if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that, as a result of the merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of the merging entities, and may further give instructions to secure the rights of creditors.

 

In addition, a merger may not be consummated unless at least 50 days have passed from the date on which a proposal for approval of the merger was filed by each party with the Israeli Registrar of Companies and at least 30 days have passed from the date on which the merger was approved by the shareholders of each party.

 

Borrowing Powers

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law and our articles of association, our board of directors may exercise all powers and take all actions that are not required under law or specifically granted to our shareholders to management, including the power to borrow money for company purposes.

 

Changes in Our Capital

 

Our articles of association enable us to increase or reduce our share capital. Any such changes are subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and must be approved by a resolution duly adopted by our shareholders at a general meeting. In addition, transactions that have the effect of reducing capital, such as the declaration and payment of dividends in the absence of sufficient retained earnings or profits, require the approval of both our board of directors and an Israeli court.

DESCRIPTION OF THE OUTSTANDING WARRANTS

 

Outstanding Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Outstanding Warrants is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the form of Warrant, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statements of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Exercisability

 

The Outstanding Warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance and are exercisable at any time up to November 23, 2025. As of August 25, 2021, warrants to purchase 216,100 Ordinary Shares have been exercised and the Outstanding Warrants to purchase up to 1,454,794 Ordinary Shares remain unexercised.

 

The Outstanding Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part (however, only whole Outstanding Warrants may be exercised) by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of Ordinary Shares purchased upon such exercise, together with other applicable charges and taxes. Each Outstanding Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share. Outstanding Warrants are not exercisable for a fraction of an Ordinary Share and may only be exercised into whole numbers of Ordinary Shares. In lieu of fractional Ordinary Shares, we will, at our election, either pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole Ordinary Share. Unless otherwise specified in the Outstanding Warrant, the holder will not have the right to exercise the Outstanding Warrants, in whole or in part, if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the holder’s election) of the number of our Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage is determined in accordance with the terms of the Outstanding Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us.

 

Exercise Price

 

The exercise price per Ordinary Share purchasable upon exercise of the Outstanding Warrants is $5.02, and is subject to adjustments for stock splits, reclassifications, subdivisions, and other similar transactions. In addition to the exercise price per Ordinary Share, all other applicable charges and taxes are due and payable upon exercise.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, the Outstanding Warrants may be transferred at the option of the holders upon surrender of the Outstanding Warrants to us, together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

14

 

 

Book-entry Form

 

Pursuant to a warrant agent agreement between us and Computershare Inc., as warrant agent, the Outstanding Warrants were issued in book-entry form and initially represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the warrant agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

  

The Outstanding Warrants are governed by the terms of a global warrant held in book-entry form. The holder of a Warrant will not be deemed a holder of our underlying Ordinary Shares until the Outstanding Warrant is exercised, except as set forth in the Outstanding Warrant.

 

The Outstanding Warrants were issued separately from the Ordinary Shares, and may be transferred separately.

 

Fundamental Transactions

 

If, at any time while the Outstanding Warrants are outstanding, (1) we consolidate or merge with or into another corporation and we are not the surviving corporation, (2) we sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, (3) any purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by us or another individual or entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of the Ordinary Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their Ordinary Shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the Ordinary Shares, (4) we effect any reclassification or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares or any compulsory exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (5) we consummate a securities purchase agreement or other business combination with another person or entity whereby such other person or entity acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, each, a “Fundamental Transaction”, then upon any subsequent exercise of the Outstanding Warrants, the holders thereof will have the right to receive the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Ordinary Shares then issuable upon exercise of those Outstanding Warrants, and any additional consideration payable as part of the Fundamental Transaction.

 

Rights as a Shareholder

 

Except by virtue of such holder’s ownership of Ordinary Shares, the holder of Outstanding Warrants does not have rights or privileges of a holder of Ordinary Shares, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Outstanding Warrants.

RESEARCH GRANTS

 

Our research and development efforts mainly with respect to our past activities (with respect to immunotherapy programs such as the Anti-CD3) were financed in part through royalty-bearing grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority, or the IIA. As of June 30, 2021, we had received the aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million from the IIA for the development of these programs, which have since been sold. With respect to such grants, we are committed to pay royalties of up to an aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million relating only to technologies in our possession and excluding any royalties for technologies that we sold to third parties. We are further required to comply with the requirements of the Israeli Encouragement of Research, Development and Technological Innovation in the Industry Law, 5744-1984, as amended, and related regulations, or the Research Law, with respect to those past grants. In addition, any change of control and any change of ownership of our Ordinary Shares requires prior written notice from the IIA, and in the event that a non-Israeli entity or individual acquires more than 5% of our shares, or becomes an “interested party” as defined in the Research Law, such notification will be accompanied with a written undertaking by such party to be bound by the provisions of the Research Law. When a company develops know-how, technology or products using IIA grants, the terms of the Research Law restrict the transfer of such know-how inside or outside of Israel, and the transfer outside of Israel of manufacturing or manufacturing rights of such products, technologies or know-how, without the prior approval of the IIA. None of our current projects in the field of cannabinoid therapeutics are supported by the IIA, yet if eligible, we might apply for such support in the future.

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements of SciSparc Ltd. appearing in SciSparc Ltd.'s Annual Report (Form 20-F) for the year ended December 31, 2020, have been audited by Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon, included therein, and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES 

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in the registration statements of which this prospectus forms a part, a substantial majority of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and a substantial of our directors and officers are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

 

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Meitar | Law Offices, that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. 

 

18

 

 

Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a United States judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that among other things:

 

  the judgment is obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel;

 

  the judgment is final and is not subject to any right of appeal;

 

  the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment was rendered allows for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;

 

  adequate service of process has been affected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence;

 

  the liabilities under the judgment are enforceable according to the laws of the State of Israel and the judgment and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment is not contrary to the law or public policy in Israel nor likely to impair the security or sovereignty of Israel;

 

  the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgments in the same matter between the same parties;

 

  an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court; and

 

  the judgment is enforceable according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted.

 

If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

 

Under the Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our Articles of Association contain such a provision. An Israeli company may not exculpate a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.

 

An Israeli company may indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed as an office holder, either in advance of an event or following an event provided a provision authorizing such indemnification is contained in its articles of association:

 

  a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the company’s activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount or according to criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and such undertaking shall detail the abovementioned events and amount or criteria;
     
  reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the office holder (a) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial liability, such as a criminal penalty, was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; and (b) in connection with a monetary sanction;
     
  reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court (i) in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf or by a third party, or (ii) in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or (iii) as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent; and
     
  expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by an office holder in relation to an administrative proceeding instituted against such office holder, or certain compensation payments made to an injured party imposed on an office holder by an administrative proceeding, pursuant to certain provisions of the Israeli Securities Law.

 

An Israeli company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed as an office holder if and to the extent provided in the company’s articles of association:

 

  a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company, to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
     
  a breach of the duty of care to the company or to a third party, including a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
     
  a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party;

  

  a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party harmed by a breach in an administrative proceeding; and
     
  expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by the office holder as a result of an administrative proceeding instituted against him or her, pursuant to certain provisions of the Israeli Securities Law.

 

II-1

 

 

An Israeli company may not indemnify or insure an office holder against any of the following:

 

  a breach of the duty of loyalty, except to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
     
  a breach of duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
     
  an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or
     
  a fine, monetary sanction or forfeit levied against the office holder.

 

Under the Israeli Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders must be approved by the compensation committee, the board of directors (and, with respect to directors and the chief executive officer, by the shareholders). However, under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, the insurance of office holders shall not require shareholder approval and may be approved by only the compensation committee, if the engagement terms are determined in accordance with the company’s compensation policy and that policy was approved by the shareholders by the same special majority required to approve a compensation policy, provided that the insurance policy is on market terms and the insurance policy is not likely to materially impact the company’s profitability, assets or obligations.

 

Our Articles of Association allow us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders for any liability imposed on them as a consequence of an act (including any omission) which was performed by virtue of being an office holder. Our office holders are currently covered by a directors and officers’ liability insurance policy.

 

We have entered into agreements with each of our directors and executive officers exculpating them in advance from liability to us for damages caused to us as a result of a breach of duty of care, and undertaking to indemnify them. This exculpation and indemnification is limited both in terms of amount and coverage and it covers certain amounts regarding administrative proceedings insurable or indemnifiable under the Companies Law and our Articles of Association.

 

In the opinion of the SEC, however, indemnification of directors and office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

 

There is no pending litigation or proceeding against any of our office holders as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any office holder.

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

Set forth below are the sales of all securities by the Company since November 2017, which were not registered under the Securities Act. We believe that each of such issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 701 and/or Regulation D or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

On September 17, 2020, our shareholders approved a reverse split of our share capital by a ratio of up to 20:1, to be effective at the ratio and date to be determined by our Board of Directors. On October 1, 2020, our Board of Directors resolved that the final ratio for the reverse split will be 20:1, or the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split became effective after the close of business on October 16, 2020. All descriptions of our share capital herein, including share amounts and per share amounts, are presented after giving effect to the Reverse Split. 

  

On November 23, 2018, we issued to YA II PN Ltd., or YA II PN, $1.5 million of convertible debentures, and an additional 131 ADSs as a commitment fee. The outstanding principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, was convertible, at the option of the YA II PN, into ADSs at 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the five consecutive trading days, immediately preceding the conversion date. The debentures were converted into an aggregate of 8,150 ADSs.

 

On March 19, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with respect to a private placement of convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $220,000, warrants to purchase up to 4,490 ADSs, and 571 ADSs. The private placement closed on April 6, 2020.

 

On May 15, 2020, in connection with a joint venture transaction, we issued a warrant to purchase $340,000 of ADSs representing our Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, the exercise price per ADS is equal to the closing price of the ADSs on the trading day on which the notice of exercise was actually received by us, and shall be paid by transferring to the Company a duly executed share transfer deed for 9,577 ordinary shares of Evero Health Ltd. The warrant will be exercisable for 12 months starting from the 12-month anniversary of the issuance date.

 

On March 4, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 1,152,628 units, as follows: (a) 916,316 units at an offering price of $7.07 per unit, consisting of one ADS, one Series A warrant to purchase an equal number of units purchased and one Series B warrant to purchase half the number of units and (b) 236,312 pre-funded units at a price of $7.069 per unit, consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one ADS, one Series A warrant to purchase an equal number of units purchased and one Series B warrant to purchase half the number of units.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

  (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to these registration statements:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of these registration statements (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statements;

  

  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statements or any material change to such information in the registration statements.

  

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statements to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.

 

  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

  (i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

  

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

  

  (ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

II-6

 

 

  (6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to these registration statements, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

  

  (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

   

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of these registration statements in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of these registration statements as of the time it was declared effective. 

 

(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
