SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 10, 2025

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

Steakholder Foods Ltd.

 

Up to 2,857,142 American Depositary Shares Representing 1,428,571,000 Ordinary Shares and accompanying 2,857,142 Common Warrants to Purchase up to 2,857,142 American Depositary Shares Representing 1,428,571,000 Ordinary Shares

 

or

 

Up to 2,857,142 Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase up to 1,428,571,000 American Depositary Shares Representing 1,428,571,000 Ordinary Shares and accompanying Common Warrants to Purchase up to 2,857,142 American Depositary Shares

Representing 1,428,571,000 Ordinary Shares

 

Up to 200,000 Placement Agent Warrants to Purchase up to 200,000 American Depositary Shares

Representing 100,000,000 Ordinary Shares

 

Up to 5,914,284 American Depositary Shares Representing 2,957,142,000 Ordinary Shares Issuable Upon Exercise of the Common Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants

 

We are offering in a best-efforts offering up to 2,857,142 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each ADS representing five hundred (500) ordinary shares, no par value (“Ordinary Shares”), of Steakholder Foods Ltd. (“Steakholder Foods”, the “Company”, “our company”, “we” or “us”), together with up to  2,857,142 common warrants (“Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,857,142 ADSs at an assumed combined public offering price of $1.75 per ADS and Common Warrant pursuant to this prospectus, which was the closing price of our ADSs on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on July 9, 2025. The ADSs and Common Warrants will be sold in a fixed combination, with each ADS accompanied by one Common Warrant to purchase one ADS.

 

We are also offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of our ADSs in this offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity, in lieu of purchasing ADSs, to purchase pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase ADSs. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be immediately exercisable for ADS at any time at the option of the holder until such Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full, provided that the holder will be prohibited from exercising Pre-Funded Warrants for ADSs if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the total number of Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding. The assumed combined purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant and Common Warrant is $1.74 (which is equal to the assumed combined public offering price per ADS and Common Warrant to be sold in this offering minus $0.01, the exercise price per ADS of each Pre-Funded Warrant). For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell, the number of ADSs we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be sold together with Common Warrants in a fixed combination, with each Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase one ADS accompanied by one Common Warrant to purchase one ADS.

 

Each Common Warrant will have an exercise price of $1.75 per ADS, will be exercisable immediately upon issuance. The Common Warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. Because we will issue a Common Warrant for each ADS and for each Pre-Funded Warrant sold in this offering, the number of Common Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of ADSs and Pre-Funded Warrants sold.

 

We are also registering the ADSs issuable from time to time upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Common Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants (as defined below) offered hereby.

 

The ADSs are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “STKH”. On July 9, 2025, the closing price of the ADSs was $1.75 per ADS. There is no established public trading market for the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of those warrants will be limited. In addition, we do not intend to list the Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants on Nasdaq, any other national securities exchange or any other trading system.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “foreign private issuer” under the federal securities laws and, as such, are subject to reduced public company disclosure standards for this prospectus supplement and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer” for additional information.

 

 

 

 

The assumed combined public offering price used throughout this prospectus has been included for illustration purposes only, and may not be indicative of the final offering price. The actual combined public offering price will be negotiated between us and the purchasers, in consultation with the Placement Agent (as defined below) based on the trading of our ADSs prior to this offering, among other factors, and will be determined at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the then current market price. The recent market price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price. The final combined public offering price will be a fixed price determined through negotiation between us and investors based upon a number of factors, including our history and our prospects, the state of the industry in which we operate, our recent operating results, including results of our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, and the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering.

 

This offering will terminate on August 10, 2025, unless we decide to terminate the offering (which we may do at any time in our discretion) prior to that date. We will have one closing for all the securities purchased in this offering. The combined public offering price per ADS (or Pre-Funded Warrant) and accompanying Common Warrants will be fixed for the duration of this offering.

 

We have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and the Placement Agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number of securities or dollar amount. We have agreed to pay to the Placement Agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus. There is no minimum offering requirement as a condition of closing of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us. We will bear all costs associated with the offering and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue our business goals described in this prospectus. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in escrow, trust or similar arrangement. Because there is no escrow account and no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our company, but we are unable to fulfill all of our contemplated objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering. Further, any proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us will be available for our immediate use, despite uncertainty about whether we would be able to use such funds to effectively implement our business plan. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 18 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements.

(1)We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering. We have also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for its non-accountable expenses in the amount of $25,000, its legal fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses in an amount up to $90,000, and its clearing expenses in the amount of up to $15,950. In addition, we have agreed to issue to the Placement Agent or its designees, warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to a number of ADSs equal to 7% of the aggregate number of our ADSs and Pre-Funded Warrants being offered, at an exercise price equal to 125% of the combined public offering price per ADS and accompanying Common Warrant. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information and a description of the compensation payable to the Placement Agent.

 

(2)We estimate the total expenses of this offering payable by us, excluding the placement agent fees, will be approximately $138,000. Because there is no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual public offering amount, Placement Agent fees, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth above.

 

(3)Does not include proceeds from the cash exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Common Warrants, if any.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to this prospectus.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

We expect to deliver the securities to the purchasers in the offering on or about          , 2025, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions

 

H.C. Wainwright & Co.

Our Company

 

 We are an international deep-tech food company that initiated activities in 2019 and are listed on Nasdaq under the ticker “STKH.” We are focusing on alternative protein machinery production, initially for three-dimensional printing of meat and seafood analogs, followed by hybrid meats that combine cultivated and plant-based elements. We believe that our alternative protein and cultivated meat technologies hold significant potential to reduce the environmental impact of food production (including reducing carbon footprint and promoting biodiversity), improve the supply chain, and offer consumers a range of new product offerings.

 

 We aim to provide production technology and associated supplies needed to commercially produce structured alternative protein products. To that end, we are developing three-dimensional printing capabilities that can mimic meat and seafood texture, flavor, nutritional values and more. Our initial commercial offering combines three-dimensional printers and their supplies, primarily plant-based ingredient blends for printing plant-based meat and fish analogs. So far, we have developed two main types of three-dimensional printer: (1) meat printer - a food production machine that produces meat analogs with a fibrous texture, mimicking meats such as beef, pork and chicken; and (2) fish printer – a food production machine that produces fish and seafood analogs with a flaky texture, such as fish and seafood. 

 

During 2023, we focused our efforts on commercializing our three-dimensional printers and their ingredient blend supplies for plant-based foods initially. As a result, our first commercial offering is intended to affordably generate revenues for our partners and customers by manufacturing plant-based meat and fish analogs, which are not expected to require the lengthy regulatory processes associated with cultivated meats and other novel foods. 

 

In September 2024, we announced the opening of our first full-scale Demonstration Center. The state-of-the-art facility features live demonstrations of the company’s innovative 3D printers—the MX200 and HD144—showcasing real-time production of plant-based meat and seafood alternatives, and promoting customer engagement. 

 

In September 2024, we also received a purchase order from Bondor Foods Ltd. to supply our proprietary plant-based premixes for the production of a line of white fish and salmon patties, and in October 2024, we received a purchase order from Wyler Farm Ltd. to supply premixes for the production of plant-based beef. 

 

In November 2024, together with UMAMI Bioworks, a leading global cultivated seafood platform provider, we announced the culmination of a two-year R&D collaboration, establishing the feasibility of producing 3D-printed cultivated fish products at scalable volumes, and with the support of the Singaporean National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster, we aim to develop and refine 3D-printed fish fillets, targeting both local and international markets.

 

In December 2024, we announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Vegefarm Co. Ltd., a prominent Taiwanese food company, for the sale of our MX200 3D printer and accompanying raw materials. Under the MoU, we are to provide Vegefarm with the MX200 printer, powered by our advanced Fused Paste Layering (FPL™) technology, and plant-based premixes designed to create high-quality meat alternatives. The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), a leading Taiwanese research institute, will support the adaptation of our product for the Taiwanese market, while Vegefarm will take on the role of commercialization, managing the production and distribution of these products, utilizing its established market presence to drive adoption and sales. 

 

We are led by our Chief Executive Officer, Arik Kaufman, who has founded various Nasdaq- and TASE - traded foodtech companies, and is a founding partner of BlueOcean Sustainability Fund, LLC, led by Ashton Kutcher, Guy Oseary and Effie Epstein, which has partnered with us to assist in attempting to accelerate our growth. Mr. Kaufman holds extensive personal experience in the fields of food-tech and bio-tech, and has led and managed numerous complex commercial negotiations, as part of local and international fundraising, mergers and acquisitions transactions. We have carefully selected personnel for the rest of our executive management team who possess substantial industry experience and share our core values.

Recent Developments 

 

February 2025 ELOC 

 

On February 27, 2025, we entered into an Any Market Purchase Agreement (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”), with Alumni Capital LP (“Alumni”), establishing an $8 million ELOC with Alumni. Pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we may sell to Alumni up to $8 million (the “Commitment Amount”) of our ADSs (“Purchase Notice ADSs”), from time to time during the term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement. 

 

In April 2025, in consideration for Alumni’s execution and delivery of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we paid Alumni 34,934 ADSs (the “Commitment ADSs”) as a commitment fee equal to two percent of the Commitment Amount, (based on the dollar volume-weighted average price of the ADSs preceding the issuance date) following the effective date of the registration statement to which the Purchase Notice ADSs or the Commitment ADSs relate (the “Commitment Fee”).

 

Beginning in April 2025, when all conditions set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement were satisfied, and until the termination date described below, under the terms and subject to the conditions of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, from time to time, at our discretion, we have the right, but not the obligation, to issue to Alumni, and Alumni is obligated to purchase, the Purchase Notice ADSs, subject to certain limitations set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Specifically, from time to time, from and after the Commencement Date, we may, at our discretion, direct Alumni to purchase on any single business day no greater than $500,000 in ADSs, unless waived upon mutual discretion between us and Alumni, up to an amount no greater than $3,000,000. The purchase price in respect of any purchase notice shall equal the lowest dollar volume-weighted average price of the ADSs during the five business days prior to the closing of any purchase thereunder, multiplied by 94%.  

 

The ELOC Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from directing Alumni to purchase any ADSs if those ADSs, when aggregated with all other ADSs and Ordinary Shares then beneficially owned by Alumni and its affiliates, would result in Alumni and its affiliates having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than 4.99% of the voting power of the Company and the number of Ordinary Shares and ADSs outstanding immediately after to the issuance of Purchase Notice ADSs. 

 

The ELOC Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2026; (ii) the date on which the ADSs cease trading on Nasdaq; and (iii) the date on which Alumni shall have purchased Purchase Notice ADSs pursuant to this ELOC Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of the Commitment Amount. The ELOC Purchase Agreement does not include any of the following: (i) limitations on the Company’s use of amounts it receives as the purchase price for the ADSs sold to Alumni; (ii) financial or business covenants; (iii) restrictions on future financings; (iv) rights of first refusal; or (v) participation rights or penalties.

 

The ELOC Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. Pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we also filed the registration statement to which the Purchase Notice ADSs or the Commitment ADSs relate with the SEC, covering the resale of the ADSs issued or sold to Alumni under the ELOC Purchase Agreement under the Securities Act.

 

The net proceeds under the ELOC Purchase Agreement to us will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell our ADSs, our ability to meet the conditions set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement and any impacts of the ownership limitations described above. We expect that any proceeds received by us from such sales of ADSs under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

February 2025 Private Placement 

 

On February 27, 2025, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “February SPA”), with Alumni, whereby Alumni purchased (i) 38,532 ADSs at a final offering price of $5.6955 per ADS, (ii) warrants to purchase up to 219,472 ADSs with an exercise price of $10.00 per ADS (the “ADS Warrants”), and (iii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 180,940 ADSs (“February Pre-Funded Warrants”, and, collectively with the ADS Warrants, the “February Warrants”), to the extent the purchase of ADSs pursuant to the February SPA would have otherwise resulted in Alumni, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding ADSs immediately following the consummation of the February SPA. Each of the February Pre-Funded Warrants is exercisable for one ADS. The February Pre-Funded Warrants were purchased for $5.695 each, have an exercise price of $0.0005 per ADS, are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the February Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

 

Following the closing of the transactions contemplated pursuant to the February SPA, we filed a registration statement on Form F-3, providing for the resale of the ADSs, ADSs issuable from time to time upon exercise of the February Pre-Funded Warrants and ADSs issuable from time to time upon exercise of the ADS Warrants. The registration statement was declared effective on March 13, 2025, and we have committed to make commercially reasonable efforts to have keep it effective at all times until the holder of the ADS Warrants no longer owns any ADS Warrants or February Pre-Funded Warrants.

ADS Ratio Change 

 

Effective as of April 28, 2025, we adjusted the ratio of the ADSs in relation to the Ordinary Shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). The adjustment changed the ratio from one (1) ADS representing one hundred (100) ordinary shares to a new ratio of one (1) ADS representing five hundred (500) ordinary shares. This ratio adjustment essentially had the same effect as a one-for-five reverse ADS split for ADS holders.

 

Unless otherwise noted, the financial information, share numbers, option numbers, warrant numbers, other derivative security numbers and exercise prices appearing in this prospectus, including those as of dates prior to the completion of the ADS Ratio Change, have been adjusted to give effect to the ADS Ratio Change. Documents incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part that were filed prior to April 28, 2025, do not give effect to the ADS Ratio Change.

 

June 2025 Private Placement, Convertible Loans and Memorandum of Understanding for Acquisition Transaction

 

On June 5, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “June 2025 Private Placement Agreement”), with Gefen Capital Investments’ LP. – Series Twine, or Gefen, the controlling shareholder of Twine Solutions Ltd., or Twine, for the purchase and sale of 124,286 ADS, at an offering price of $7.00 per ADS (the “June 2025 Private Placement”). The June 2025 Private Placement closed on June 10, 2025.

 

The June 2025 Private Placement Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and conditions to the sale of the ADSs pursuant thereto. The gross proceeds to us from the June 2025 Private Placement were $870,000. We used the proceeds from the June 2025 Private Placement to provide funding to Twine pursuant to the Twine Convertible Loan Agreement (as defined below).

 

On June 5, 2025, we entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “June 2025 Convertible Loan Agreement”), with D.B.W. Holdings (2005) Ltd. (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender provided us with a convertible loan in the amount of $870,000 (the “D.B.W. CLA Loan Amount”). The D.B.W. CLA Loan Amount bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum, has a maturity date of May 30, 2027 (the “D.B.W. Maturity Date”), and may be repaid in whole or in part at any time by us. The closing of the transaction contemplated by the June 2025 Convertible Loan Agreement was June 10, 2025. We used the D.B.W. CLA Loan Amount to provide funding to Twine pursuant to the Twine Convertible Loan Agreement (as defined below).

 

Pursuantto the June 2025 Convertible Loan Agreement, in the event that we consummate a transaction or a series of transactions pursuant to which we will acquire the entire outstanding share capital of Twine (the “Acquisition Transaction”), prior to August 30, 2025, unless extended by up to thirty (30) days by written notice to us from Lender (the “Target Date”), then three (3) business days following the closing of the Acquisition Transaction (the “Conversion Date”), the outstanding D.B.W. CLA Loan Amount and accrued interest shall be automatically and without further action converted into our ADSs (the “D.B.W. Conversion Shares”), at a conversion price of $7.00 per ADS (the “D.B.W. Conversion Price”). The number and kind of D.B.W. Conversion Shares and the D.B.W. Conversion Price are subject to adjustments as set forth in the June 2025 Convertible Loan Agreement. In the event that the Acquisition Transaction is not consummated by the Target Date, the D.B.W. CLA Loan Amount shall not be converted and shall become due and payable on the D.B.W. Maturity Date. The June 2025 Convertible Loan Agreement contains customary contains representations, warranties and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature, including various negative and affirmative covenants and events of default.

 

Pursuant to the June 2025 Private Placement Agreement and the June 2025 Convertible Loan Agreement, we agreed to file one or more registration statements with the SEC, providing for the resale of the ADSs issued in the June 2025 Private Placement and issuable pursuant to the June 2025 Convertible Loan Agreement as soon as practicable (and in any event within 90 calendar days of the date of the June 2025 Private Placement Agreement and June 2025 Convertible Loan Agreement), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such resale registration statement or statements declared effective by the SEC within three trading days after we or our counsel has been advised that the staff of the SEC has “no review” or no further comments, and in any case by August 31, 2025, and to keep such resale registration statement or statements effective at all times until the selling shareholders no longer own any securities being registered herein

 

On June 5, 2025, we entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Twine Convertible Loan Agreement”), with Twine, pursuant to which we provided Twine with a convertible loan in the amount of $1,740,000 (the “Twine CLA Loan Amount”). The Twine CLA Loan Amount bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum, has a maturity date of August 31, 2025, unless extended by up to thirty (30) days by written notice to us from Twine (the “Twine Maturity Date”), and may not be repaid in whole or in part by Twine prior to the Twine Maturity Date without our prior written consent. The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Twine Convertible Loan Agreement was June 10, 2025. The proceeds from the Twine Convertible Loan Agreement are intended to be used by Twine to accelerate its commercial expansion.

 

Pursuant to the Twine Convertible Loan Agreement, in the event that we consummate the Acquisition Transaction prior to the Twine Maturity Date (the “Twine Conversion Date”), we shall, subject to the provisions of the Twine Convertible Loan Agreement, have the option to either (i) leave the Twine CLA Loan Amount outstanding until Twine Maturity Date, on which date Twine will repay the Twine CLA Loan Amount in full plus interest or (ii) convert the Twine CLA Loan Amount into Series BB Preferred Shares of Twine (the “Twine Conversion Shares”), or any other securities into which such Twine Conversion Shares have been converted or exchanged for prior to the Twine Conversion Date, at a conversion price of $0.02079 per Twine Conversion Share, unless adjusted in accordance with the Twine’s articles of association (the “Twine Conversion Price”). In the event that the Acquisition Transaction is not consummated by the Twine Maturity Date, the Twine CLA Loan Amount shall be automatically and without further action converted into the Twine Conversion Shares at the Twine Conversion Price.

 

The Twine Convertible Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature, including various negative and affirmative covenants and events of default.

 

On June 5, 2025, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Twine with respect to the Acquisition Transaction. The Acquisition Transaction remains subject to final due diligence, definitive agreements, approval by a general meeting of our shareholders and customary closing conditions.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer

 

Emerging Growth Company 

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to publicly traded entities that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include: 

 

  an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended;

 

  to the extent that we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, (i) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and (ii) exemptions from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, including golden parachute compensation; and

 

  an exemption from compliance with the requirement that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has adopted regarding a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements.

 

As a result, the information contained in this prospectus may be different from the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold shares.

 

Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. This transition period is only applicable under U.S. GAAP. As a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required or permitted by the IASB.

 

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years from the completion of our initial public offering, or March 2026, or until such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years and (iii) the first day of the year following the first year in which, as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million. For additional information, please see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, incorporated by reference herein.

Foreign Private Issuer

 

We report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including: 

 

  the rules under the Exchange Act requiring domestic filers to issue financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP;

 

  the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

 

  the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

 

  the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC, of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial statements and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

 

Notwithstanding these exemptions, we will file with the SEC, within four months after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.

 

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States. 

 

Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies also are exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, as long as we remain a foreign private issuer, even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither an emerging growth company nor a foreign private issuer.

The Offering

 

Securities Offered by us   Up to 2,857,142 ADSs (representing 1,428,571,000 Ordinary Shares) and accompanying Common Warrants to purchase up to 2,857,142 ADSs (representing 1,428,571,000 Ordinary Shares), which is based on the last sale price of the ADSs as reported by Nasdaq on July 9, 2025.
     
Ordinary Shares Outstanding Prior to this Offering   922,718,159 Ordinary Shares, represented or representable by 1,845,438 ADSs (as of July 9, 2025).
     
Ordinary Shares Outstanding after this Offering   2,351,289,159 Ordinary Shares, represented or representable by 4,702,578 ADSs (assuming no sale of any Pre-Funded Warrants and no exercise of the Common Warrants).
     
Pre-Funded Warrants   We are also offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of our ADSs in this offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity, in lieu of purchasing ADSs, to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase ADSs. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be immediately exercisable for one ADS at any time at the option of the holder until such Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full, provided that the holder will be prohibited from exercising Pre-Funded Warrants for ADSs if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the total number of Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant is $1.74 (which is equal to the assumed combined public offering price per ADS and Common Warrant to be sold in this offering minus $0.01, the exercise price per ADS of each Pre-Funded Warrant). For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell, the number of ADSs we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. This offering also relates to the ADSs issuable upon exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrants sold in this offering. See “Description of Securities We Are Offering” for more information.
     
Common Warrants   Up to 2,857,412 Common Warrants. Each ADS and each Pre-Funded Warrant will be sold together with one Common Warrant. Each Common Warrant will have an exercise price of $1.75 per ADS. The Common Warrants will be exercisable immediately and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The ADSs, or Pre-Funded Warrants, and in each case the accompanying Common Warrants will be separately issued, but the ADSs, or Pre-Funded Warrants, and in each case the accompanying Common Warrants will be issued to purchasers in the ratio of one to one. Because we will issue a Common Warrant for each ADS and for each Pre-Funded Warrant sold in this offering, the number of Common Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of ADSs and Pre-Funded Warrants sold. This offering also relates to the ADSs issuable upon exercise of any Common Warrants sold in this offering. See “Description of Securities We Are Offering” for more information.
     
Use of proceeds   Assuming the maximum number of ADSs are sold in this offering at an assumed combined public offering price of $1.75 per ADS, which represents the closing price of our ADSs on Nasdaq on July 9, 2025, and assuming no issuance of any Pre-Funded Warrants and no exercise of the Common Warrants in connection with this offering, we estimate the net proceeds of the offering will be approximately $4.36 million, after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. However, this is a best efforts offering with no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds as a condition to closing, and we may not sell all or any of these securities offered pursuant to this prospectus; as a result, we may receive significantly less in net proceeds.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for additional working capital, for funding the growth of our business, including for the re-purchase of our securities and for general corporate purposes. Pending such uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds in bank deposits. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. See “Use of Proceeds” for additional information.

Lock-Up Agreements   The Company and our directors and officers have agreed with the Placement Agent, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the ADSs or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for ADSs for a period of ninety (90) days after the closing of this offering. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information.
     
Risk factors   Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should read the “Risk Factors” section starting on page 8 of this prospectus for a discussion of factors to consider carefully before deciding to invest in our securities.
     
Nasdaq Capital Market symbol   Our ADSs are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “STKH”. There is no established public trading market for the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants being offered and we do not expect a market to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of those warrants will be limited. In addition, we do not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants on Nasdaq, any other national securities exchange or any other trading system.
     
Best efforts offering   We have agreed to offer and sell the securities offered hereby to the purchasers through the Placement Agent. The Placement Agent is not required to buy or sell any specific number or dollar amount of the securities offered hereby, but it will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 18 of this prospectus.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, the information above is based on 922,718,159 Ordinary Shares representable by 1,845,438 ADSs as of July 9, 2025, and excludes:

 

  825,508 ADSs (representing approximately 412,754,000 Ordinary Shares) issuable upon the exercise of investor warrants and warrants issued to placement agents (or their designees) to purchase ADSs, at a weighted-average exercise price of $21.06 per ADS;
     
  127,418 ADSs (representing approximately 63,709,000 Ordinary Shares) issuable upon the exercise of the June 2025 Convertible Loan at a conversion price of $7.00 per ADS, based on a good-faith estimate of the maximum number of ADSs issuable upon such conversion;
     
  12,812 ADSs (representing approximately 6,406,000 Ordinary Shares) issuable upon the exercise of options and restricted share units to purchase ADSs, at a weighted average exercise price of $42.90 per ADS;

 

  206,337 of our ADSs (representing approximately 103,168,500 Ordinary Shares) representing shares reserved for future issuance under the Steakholder Foods Ltd. 2022 Share Incentive Plan, or the 2022 Share Incentive Plan;

 

  12,432 ADSs (representing approximately 6,216,000 Ordinary Shares) issuable to a consultant upon exercise of options at an exercise price to be determined at the time of exercise using a pre-determined formula; and

 

  128,974 ADSs (representing approximately 64,487,000 Ordinary Shares) pending settlement of at-the-market sales under the Company’s At-The-Market Offering Agreement, entered into by the Company and H.C. Wainwright on August 1, 2024.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus assumes no exercise or settlement of:

 

  the options, warrants or restricted share units described above;
     
  no sale of any Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering, which, if sold, would reduce the number of ADSs that we are offering on a one-for-one basis;
     
  no exercise of any Common Warrants issued in this offering; and
     
  no exercise of any Placement Agent Warrants to be issued to the Placement Agent or its designees as compensation in connection with this offering.

rISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves significant risks. Before making an investment in our securities, you should carefully read all of the information contained in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. For a discussion of risk factors that you should carefully consider before deciding to purchase any of our securities, please review the additional risk factors disclosed below, the information under the heading “Risk Factors” and the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. In addition, please read “About this Prospectus” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus, where we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Please note that additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may adversely affect our business, operations results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

 

Risks Related to the Offering

 

If you purchase our securities in this offering, you may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.

 

In order to raise additional capital, we believe that we will offer and issue additional ADSs or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ADSs in the future. We are generally not restricted from issuing additional securities, including ADSs, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, ADSs or substantially similar securities other than the lock-up agreement. As a result of the dilution in net tangible book value to investors purchasing securities in this offering, investors may receive significantly less than the purchase price paid in this offering, if anything, in the event of the liquidation of our company. The issuance of securities in future offerings may cause further dilution to our stockholders, including investors in this offering. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell ADSs or other securities in any other offering at a price per ADS that is equal to or greater than the price per ADS paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per ADS at which we sell additional ADSs or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ADSs in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per ADS in this offering.

 

In addition, we have a number of convertible securities outstanding. To the extent that outstanding convertible securities have been or may be exercised or other shares issued, you may experience further dilution. Further, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.

 

The best efforts structure of this offering may have an adverse effect on our business plan.

 

The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities in this offering. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, placement agent fees and proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth above. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to support our continued operations, including our near-term continued operations. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our operations in the short-term and may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us. The success of this offering will impact our ability to use the proceeds to execute our business plan. We may have insufficient capital to implement our business plan, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

This offering is being made on a best efforts basis and we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby and may receive significantly less in net proceeds from this offering, which will provide us only limited working capital.

 

This offering is being made on a best efforts basis and we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby and may receive significantly less in net proceeds from this offering. Assuming that we receive net proceeds of approximately $4.36 million from this offering (assuming an offering with gross proceeds of $5 million), we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, will meet our capital needs through to the second quarter of 2027 under our current business plan. Assuming that we receive net proceeds of approximately $3.43 million from this offering (assuming an offering with gross proceeds of $4 million), we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, will satisfy our capital needs through to the first quarter of 2027 under our current business plan. Assuming that we receive net proceeds of approximately $2.51 million from this offering (assuming an offering with gross proceeds of $3 million), we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, will satisfy our capital needs through to the fourth quarter of 2026 under our current business plan.

 

Our management team 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 of this offering for additional working capital, for funding the growth of our business, including for the re-purchase of our securities and for general corporate purposes. However, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate the net proceeds from 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 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. See “Use of Proceeds” on page 13 of this prospectus.

 

Purchasers who purchase our securities in this offering pursuant to a securities purchase agreement may have rights not available to purchasers that purchase without the benefit of a securities purchase agreement.

 

In addition to rights and remedies available to all purchasers in this offering under federal securities and state law, the purchasers that enter into a securities purchase agreement will also be able to bring claims of breach of contract against us. The ability to pursue a claim for breach of contract provides those investors with the means to enforce the covenants uniquely available to them under the securities purchase agreement including: (i) timely delivery of shares; (ii) agreement to not enter into variable rate financings for one year from closing, subject to certain exceptions; (iii) agreement to not enter into any financings for ninety (90) from closing; and (iv) indemnification for breach of contract.

 

ADSs representing a substantial percentage of our outstanding shares may be sold in this offering, which could cause the price of our shares to decline.

 

We may sell in this offering up to 2,857,142 ADSs, or approximately 155% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, prior to this offering, as of July 9, 2025. This sale and any future sales of a substantial number of ADSs in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could materially adversely affect the price of our ADSs. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our shares.

 

There is no public market for the Common Warrants being offered or Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Common Warrants being offered or the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-Funded Warrants or Common Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants will be limited.

 

9

 

 

The Common Warrants may not have any value.

 

Each Common Warrant has an exercise price per ADS equal to $1.75 and expires on the fifth anniversary of its original issuance date. In the event the market price per our ADS does not exceed the exercise price of the Common Warrants during the period when the warrants are exercisable, the Common Warrants may not have any value

 

Holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants offered hereby will have no rights as shareholders with respect to the ADSs underlying those warrants until such holders exercise their warrants and acquire our shares, except as otherwise provided in the Common Warrants.

 

Until holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants acquire our ADSs upon exercise thereof, such holders will have no rights with respect to the ADSs underlying such warrants, except to the extent that holders of such warrants will have certain rights to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our shares as set forth in the warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a shareholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

If we are a “passive foreign investment company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, there may be adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors

 

Based on our income and assets, we believe that we may be treated as a PFIC for the preceding taxable year. However, the determination of our PFIC status is made annually based on the factual tests described below. Consequently, while we may be a PFIC in future years, we cannot estimate with certainty at this stage whether or not we are likely to be treated as a PFIC in the current taxable year or any future taxable years. Generally, if, for any taxable year, at least 75 percent of our gross income is “passive income” or at least 50 percent of the average percentage of our assets during the taxable year (based on the average of the fair market values of the assets determined at the end of each quarterly period) are assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income, we will be characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, gains from commodities and securities transactions, and gains from assets that produce passive income. However, rents and royalties received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business should not be considered passive income for purposes of the PFIC test. For example, if we were to be characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined in “Item 10.—Additional Information—Taxation — Material United States federal income tax considerations”) holds ordinary shares or ADSs, such U.S. Holder could be subject to additional taxes and interest charges upon certain distributions by us and any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of our shares, whether or not we continue to be characterized as a PFIC. Certain adverse consequences of PFIC status can be mitigated if a U.S. Holder makes a “mark to market” election or an election to treat us as a qualified electing fund, or QEF. See “Taxation—Passive foreign investment company considerations” for additional information. 

 

Whether we are a PFIC for any taxable year will depend on the composition of our income and the composition and value of our assets from time to time. Each U.S. Holder is strongly urged to consult its tax advisor regarding these issues and any available elections to mitigate such tax consequences.

 

If a United States person is treated as owning at least 10% of our shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. 

 

If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of our shares, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each “controlled foreign corporation” in our group (if any).  A United States shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to annually report and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of “Subpart F income,” “global intangible low-taxed income” and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, whether or not we make any distributions, and may be subject to tax reporting obligations. An individual that is a United States shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation.  A failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject you to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to your U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. We cannot provide any assurances that we will assist any shareholder in determining whether such shareholder is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any “controlled foreign corporation” in our group (if any) or furnish to any United States shareholders information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations.  A United States investor should consult its tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to its investment in our securities.

We have never paid dividends on our share capital and we do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our share capital and do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development and growth of our business and for general corporate purposes. Accordingly, any gains from an investment in the ADSs will depend on price appreciation of the ADSs, which may never occur. In addition, Israeli law limits our ability to declare and pay dividends, and may subject our dividends to certain Israeli withholding taxes.

 

Conditions in Israel, including Israel’s conflicts with Hamas and other parties in the Middle East, as well as political and economic instability, may adversely impact our business operations.

 

We are incorporated under Israeli law, and many of our employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Technology Officer, our Vice President of Finance and other senior members of our management team, operate from our headquarters located in Israel. In addition, our officers and directors are residents of Israel. Accordingly, our business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions in Israel.

 

Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and in recent years, armed conflicts between Israel and its neighboring countries and terrorist organizations active in the region have involved missile strikes, hostile infiltrations, terrorism against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, and recently abduction of soldiers and citizens.

 

Following the attacks on October 7th, 2023 by Hamas terrorists in Israel’s southern border, Israel declared war against Hamas and since then, Israel has been involved in military conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah, a terrorist organization based in Lebanon, and Iran, both directly and through proxies like the Houthi movement in Yemen and armed groups in Iraq and other terrorist organizations. Additionally, following the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, Israel has conducted limited military operations targeting the Syrian army, Iranian military assets and infrastructure linked to Hezbollah and other Iran-supported groups.

 

In June 2025, in light of continued nuclear threats and intelligence assessments indicating imminent attacks, Israel launched a preemptive strike directly targeting military and nuclear infrastructure inside Iran, aimed at disrupting Iran’s capacity to coordinate or launch further hostilities against Israel, as well as to degrade its nuclear program. In response, Iran launched multiple waves of drones and ballistic missiles at Israeli cities. While most of these attacks were intercepted, several caused civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. While a ceasefire was reached between Israel and Iran in June 2025 after 12 days of hostilities, the situation remains volatile, with the potential for escalation into a broader regional conflict involving additional terrorist organizations and possibly other countries.

 

While our facilities have not been damaged during the current war, the hostilities with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and its proxies and others have caused and may continue to cause damage to private and public facilities, infrastructure, utilities, and telecommunication networks, and potentially disrupting our operations and supply chains. In addition, Israeli organizations, government agencies and companies have been subject to extensive cyber attacks. This could lead to increased costs, risks to employee safety, and challenges to business continuity, with potential financial losses.

 

The continuation of the war has also led to a deterioration of certain indicators of Israel’s economic standing, for instance, a downgrade in Israel’s credit rating by rating agencies (such as by Moody’s, S&P Global, and Fitch).

 

In connection with the ongoing war, several hundred thousand Israeli military reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service, and military reservists are expected to perform long reserve duty service in the coming years. As of the date of this annual report, only several of our employees are called to active military duty. The absence of our employees due to their military service in the current or future wars or other armed conflicts may materially and adversely affect our ability to conduct our operations.

 

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of certain direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that such government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

The global perception of Israel and Israeli companies, influenced by actions by international judicial bodies, may lead to increased sanctions and other negative measures against Israel, as well as Israeli companies and academic institutions. There is also a growing movement among countries, activists, and organizations to boycott Israeli goods, services and academic research or restrict business with Israel, which could affect business operations. If these efforts become widespread, along with any future rulings from international tribunals against Israel, they could significantly and negatively impact business operations.

 

Prior to the October 2023 war, the Israeli government pursued changes to Israel’s judicial system and has recently renewed its efforts to effect such changes. In response to the foregoing developments, certain individuals, organizations, and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, voiced concerns that such proposed changes, if adopted, may negatively impact the business environment in Israel. Such proposed changes may also lead to political instability or civil unrest. If such changes to Israel’s judicial system are pursued by the government and approved by the parliament, this may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and ability to raise additional funds, if deemed necessary by our management and board of directors.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Assuming the maximum number of ADSs are sold in this offering at an assumed combined public offering price of $1.75 per ADS and accompanying Common Warrant, which represents the closing price of our ADSs on Nasdaq on  July 9, 2025, and assuming no issuance of Pre-Funded Warrants in connection with this offering, we estimate the net proceeds of the offering will be approximately $4.36 million, after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us and excluding the proceeds we may receive from the cash exercise of the Common Warrants to be issued in this offering, if any. However, this is a best efforts offering with no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds as a condition to closing, and we may not sell all or any of these securities offered pursuant to this prospectus; as a result, we may receive significantly less in net proceeds. We cannot predict when or if the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants will be exercised, or if they will be exercised for cash. It is possible that the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants may expire and may never be exercised.

 

Each $0.10 increase (decrease) in the assumed combined public offering price of $1.75 per ADS and accompanying Common Warrant would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the estimated placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, by $0.3 million, assuming that the number of ADSs and accompanying Common Warrants offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same. We may also increase or decrease the number of ADSs and Common Warrants we are offering. An increase (decrease) of 100,000 in the number of ADSs we are offering would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the estimated placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, by $0.2 million, assuming the assumed combined public offering price stays the same.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for additional working capital, for funding the growth of our business, including for the re-purchase of our securities and for general corporate purposes. Accordingly, we retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the sale of our ADSs and Common Warrants (or Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants, if applicable), pursuant to this prospectus. The precise amount and timing of the application of such proceeds will depend upon our liquidity needs and the availability and cost of other capital over which we have little or no control.

 

Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, short and intermediate term, interest-bearing, investment-grade instruments, U.S. government securities and highly rated corporate debt securities, although our investment policy may change following the date of this prospectus supplement. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us.

In addition, we are also offering Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 2,857,142 ADSs in lieu of ADSs to those investors whose purchase of ADSs in this offering would result in the investor, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the investor, 9.99%) of our outstanding Ordinary Shares following the consummation of this offering. For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell, the number of ADSs we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis.

ADSs and Ordinary Shares

 

For a description of the ADSs and the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs, and of the provisions of our articles of association, please see Exhibit 2.3 to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed on March 31, 2025, which incorporated by reference herein. 

 

Pre-Funded Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of the Pre-Funded Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Duration, Exercise Price and Form. Each Pre-Funded Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per ADS equal to $0.01. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price and number of ADSs issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our ADSs and the exercise price. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued separately from the accompanying Common Warrants and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued in certificated form only.

 

Exercisability. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of ADSs purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). Purchasers of the Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering may elect to deliver their exercise notice following the pricing of the offering and prior to the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrants at closing to have their Pre-Funded Warrants exercised immediately upon issuance and receive ADSs underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants upon closing of this offering. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Pre-Funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Purchasers of Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering may also elect prior to the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares.

 

Fractional Shares. No fractional ADSs will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant. In lieu of fractional ADSs, we will either round up to the nearest whole number or pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

 

15

 

 

Cashless Exercise. If, at the time a holder exercises its Pre-Funded Warrant, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of ADSs determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, a Pre-Funded Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Pre-Funded Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Exchange Listing. There is no trading market available for the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. We do not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

 

Right as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-Funded Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our ADSs, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our ADSs, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Fundamental Transaction. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Pre-Funded Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Ordinary Shares, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of 50% or more of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the voting power represented by our outstanding Ordinary Shares, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. 

 

Common Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Common Warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Common Warrants, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of the Common Warrants for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Common Warrants.

 

Duration, Exercise Price and Form. Each Common Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per ADS equal to $1.75. The Common Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The exercise price and number of ADSs issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our ADSs and the exercise price. The Common Warrants will be issued separately from the ADSs or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, and will be held separately immediately thereafter. A Common Warrant to purchase one ADS will be issued for every ADS or Pre-Funded Warrant purchased in this offering. The Common Warrants will be issued in certificated form only.

 

Exercisability. The Common Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of ADSs purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Common Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding Ordinary Shares after exercising the holder’s Common Warrant up to 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Common Warrant. No Common Warrants exercisable for a fractional ADS will be issued in this offering.

 

16

 

 

Cashless Exercise. If, at the time a holder exercises its Common Warrant, a registration statement registering the issuance of the ADSs underlying the Common Warrant under the Securities Act is not then effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such ADSs, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of ADSs determined according to a formula set forth in the Common Warrants.

 

Fractional Shares. No fractional ADSs will be issued upon the exercise of the Common Warrant. In lieu of fractional ADSs, we will either round up to the nearest whole number or pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, a Common Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Common Warrants to us together with the appropriate instrument of transfer.

 

Exchange Listing. There is no established public trading market for the Common Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to list the Common Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Common Warrants will be limited.

 

Right as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Common Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of ADSs, the holders of the Common Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our ADSs, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Common Warrants.

 

Fundamental Transaction. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the form of Common Warrants, and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Ordinary Shares, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of 50% or more of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the voting power represented by our outstanding Ordinary Shares, the holders of the Common Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Common Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Common Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction, the holder of a Common Warrant will have the right to require us to repurchase its Common Warrants at the Black-Scholes value; provided, however, that, if the fundamental transaction is not within our control, including not approved by our board of directors, then the holder will only be entitled to receive the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black-Scholes value of the unexercised portion of Common Warrant that is being offered and paid to the holders of our ADSs in connection with the fundamental transaction. 

 

Placement Agent Warrants

 

We have also agreed to issue to the Placement Agent or its designees, the Placement Agent Warrants as compensation in connection with this offering to purchase up to 200,000 ADSs as compensation in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon issuance, will have substantially the same terms as the Common Warrants described above, except that the Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price of $2.1875 per ADS (representing 125% of the combined public offering price per ADS and accompanying Common Warrants) and a termination date that will be five years from the commencement of the sales pursuant to this offering. See “Plan of Distribution” below.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Pursuant to an engagement agreement dated May 20, 2025 (the “Engagement Agreement”) we have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC to act as our exclusive Placement Agent to solicit offers to purchase the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus on a reasonable best efforts basis. The Engagement Agreement does not give rise to any commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase any of our securities, and the Placement Agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the Engagement Agreement. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities offered by us under this prospectus, nor is it required to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities, other than to use its “reasonable best efforts” to arrange for the sale of such securities by us. Therefore, we may not sell all of the securities being offered. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, the Placement Agent and prospective investors. This is a best efforts offering and there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us. The Placement Agent does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in any prospective offering. The Placement Agent may engage sub-agents or selected dealers to assist with the offering.

 

Investors purchasing securities offered hereby will have the option to execute a securities purchase agreement with us. In addition to rights and remedies available to all purchasers in this offering under federal securities and state law, the purchasers which enter into a securities purchase agreement will also be able to bring claims of breach of contract against us. The ability to pursue a claim for breach of contract is material to larger purchasers in this offering as a means to enforce (i) a covenant to not enter into variable rate financings for a period of one year following the closing of the offering, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, and (ii) a covenant to not enter into any equity financings for ninety (90) days from closing of the offering, subject to certain exceptions. The nature of the representations, warranties and covenants in the securities purchase agreements shall include:

 

  standard issuer representations and warranties on matters such as organization, qualification, authorization, no conflict, no governmental filings required, current in SEC filings, no litigation, labor or other compliance issues, environmental, intellectual property and title matters and compliance with various laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and

  

  covenants regarding matters such as registration of warrant shares, no integration with other offerings, no stockholder rights plans, no material nonpublic information, use of proceeds, indemnification of purchasers, reservation and listing of ordinary shares, no subsequent equity sales for ninety (90) days, subject to certain exceptions, and an agreement to not enter into variable rate financings for one year from closing, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The securities will be offered at a fixed price and are expected to be issued in a single closing. We expect this offering to be completed not later than one business day following the commencement of this offering, which will be the date that we enter into a securities purchase agreement to sell the securities offered hereby. We expect to close the offering on or before          , 2025. We will deliver all securities to be issued in connection with this offering delivery versus payment/receipt versus payment upon receipt of investor funds received by us. Accordingly, neither we nor the Placement Agent have made any arrangements to place investor funds in an escrow account or trust account since the Placement Agent will not receive investor funds in connection with the sale of the securities offered hereunder.

 

We expect to deliver the ADSs, Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants being offered pursuant to this prospectus on or about          , 2025.

Placement Agent Warrants

 

In addition, we have agreed to issue to the Placement Agent, or its designees, the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 200,000 ADSs (which represents 7.0% of the aggregate number of ADSs issued in this offering and issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in this offering) with an exercise price of $2.1875 per ADS (representing 125% of the combined public offering price per ADS and accompanying Common Warrant). The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable immediately. The Placement Agent Warrants will expire five years from the date of the commencement of sales in this offering. If at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of warrant ADSs by the holders of the Placement Agent warrants, then the Placement Agent Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the holders shall be entitled to receive a number of warrant ADSs as calculated in the Placement Agent Warrants.

  

The Placement Agent Warrants provide for customary anti-dilution provisions (for share dividends, splits and recapitalizations and the like) consistent with FINRA Rule 5110.

TAXATION

 

The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares or ADSs. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction. 

 

Israeli tax considerations and government programs 

 

The following is a summary of the current tax regime in the State of Israel, which applies to us and to persons who hold our ordinary shares or ADSs.

 

This summary does not discuss all the aspects of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal investment circumstances or to some types of investors subject to special treatment under Israeli law. Examples of this kind of investor include traders in securities or persons who do not hold our ordinary shares or ADSs as a capital asset. Some parts of this discussion are based on a new tax legislation which has not been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation. The discussion should not be construed as legal or professional tax advice and does not cover all possible tax considerations.

 

 HOLDERS AND POTENTIAL INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE ISRAELI OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES OR ADSs, INCLUDING, IN PARTICULAR, THE EFFECT OF ANY FOREIGN, STATE OR LOCAL TAXES.

 

General corporate tax structure in Israel

 

Israeli resident companies are generally subject to corporate tax on both ordinary income and capital gains, currently at the rate of 23% of a company’s taxable income. Capital gains derived by an Israeli resident company are subject to tax at the prevailing corporate tax rate. However, the effective tax rate payable by a company that derives income from a “Preferred Enterprise”, a “Special Preferred Enterprise”, a “Preferred Technology Enterprise” or “Special Preferred Technology Enterprise” which are benefitted tax regimes under the Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments-1959, may be considerably lower. Capital gains derived by an Israeli company are generally subject to the prevailing regular corporate tax rate. 

 

Taxation of our shareholders 

 

Capital gains

 

 Capital gains tax is generally imposed on the disposal of capital assets by an Israeli resident, and on the disposal of capital assets by a non-Israeli resident if those assets (i) are located in Israel, (ii) are shares or a right to shares in an Israeli resident corporation, (iii) represent, directly or indirectly, rights to assets located in Israel, or (iv) a right in a foreign resident corporation, which in its essence is the owner of a direct or indirect right to property located in Israel (with respect to the portion of the gain attributed to the property located in Israel), unless a specific exemption is available or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence provides otherwise. The ITO distinguishes between “Real Capital Gain” and “Inflationary Surplus.” Real Capital Gain is the excess of the total capital gain over Inflationary Surplus. The Inflationary Surplus is a portion of the total capital gain which is equivalent to the increase of the relevant asset’s price that is attributable to the increase in the Israeli consumer price index or, in certain circumstances, a foreign currency exchange rate, between the date of purchase and the date of sale. Inflationary Surplus is not currently subject to tax in Israel. 

 

Real Capital Gain accrued by individuals on the sale of our ordinary shares or ADSs will be taxed at the rate of 25%. However, if the individual shareholder is a “Substantial Shareholder” (i.e., a person who holds, directly or indirectly, alone or together with another, 10% or more of one of the Israeli resident company’s means of control (including, among other things, the right to receive profits of the company, voting rights, the right to receive the company’s liquidation proceeds and the right to appoint a director)) at the time of sale or at any time during the preceding 12-month period, and/or claims a deduction for interest and linkage differences expenses in connection with the purchase and holding of such shares, such gain will be taxed at the rate of 30%.

 

Individual and corporate shareholders dealing in securities in Israel are taxed at the tax rates applicable to business income in 2024, a tax rate of 23% for corporations and a marginal tax rate of up to 47% for individuals, unless contrary provisions in a relevant tax treaty applies. In addition, a 3% excess tax (as discussed below) is levied on individuals whose total taxable income in Israel in 2025 exceeded NIS 721,560. As detailed below, according to new legislation, in effect as of January 1, 2025, an additional 2% excess tax will apply on Capital-Sourced Income (defined as income from any source other than employment income, business income or income from “personal effort”), to the extent that the Individual’s Capital Sourced Income exceeds the specified threshold of NIS 721,560 (and regardless of the employment/business income amount of such individual).

 

21

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, generally, capital gain derived from the sale of our ordinary shares or ADSs by a shareholder who is a non-Israeli resident (whether an individual or a corporation) should be exempt from Israeli capital gain tax, provided, among others, that:(i) the ordinary shares or ADSs were purchased upon or after the listing of the securities on the stock exchange, and (ii) the seller does not have a permanent establishment in Israel to which the derived capital gain is attributable. However, non-Israeli entities (including corporations) will not be entitled to the foregoing exemption if Israeli residents, whether directly or indirectly: (i) have a controlling interest of more than 25% in such non-Israeli entity or (ii) are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli entity. In addition, such exemption is not applicable to a person whose gains from selling or otherwise disposing of the shares or ADSs are deemed to be business income. In addition, the sale of ordinary shares or ADSs may be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty. For example, the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, or the Treaty, generally exempts U.S. residents (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Treaty) holding the shares as a capital asset from Israeli capital gains tax in connection with such sale, exchange or disposition unless either (i) the U.S. treaty resident owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the Israeli resident company’s voting rights at any time within the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition; (ii) the seller, if an individual, has been present in Israel for a period or periods aggregating to 183 days or more during the relevant taxable year; (iii) the capital gain from the sale, exchange or disposition was derived through a permanent establishment of the U.S. resident in Israel; (iv) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to real estate located in Israel, or (v) the capital gains arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to royalties. In any such case, the sale, exchange or disposition of such shares or ADSs would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the U.S.-Israel Treaty, a U.S. resident would be permitted to claim a credit for the Israeli tax against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to the sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits. The U.S.-Israel Treaty does not provide such credit against any U.S. state or local taxes.

 

 In some instances where our shareholders may be liable for Israeli tax on the sale of their shares or ADSs, the payment of the consideration may be subject to withholding tax at source in Israel. Shareholders may be required to demonstrate that they are exempt from tax on their capital gains in order to avoid withholding tax at source at the time of sale. Specifically, in transactions involving a sale of all of the shares of an Israeli resident company, in the form of a merger or otherwise, the Israel Tax Authority may require from shareholders who are not liable for Israeli tax to sign declarations in forms specified by this authority or obtain a specific exemption from the Israel Tax Authority to confirm their status as non-Israeli residents, and, in the absence of such declarations or exemptions, may require the purchaser of the shares to withhold tax at source.

 

 Upon the sale of securities traded on a stock exchange, a detailed return, including a computation of the tax due, must be filed and an advance payment must be made on January 31 and July 31 of every tax year, in respect of sales of securities made within the previous six months by Israeli residents for whom tax has not already been deducted. However, if all tax due was withheld at source according to applicable provisions of the ITO and the regulations promulgated thereunder, there is no need to file a return and no advance payment must be paid, provided that (i) such income was not generated from business conducted in Israel by the taxpayer, (ii) the taxpayer has no other taxable sources of income in Israel with respect to which a tax return is required to be filed and an advance payment does not need to be made, and (iii) the taxpayer is not obligated to pay excess tax (as further explained below). Capital gains are also reportable on the annual income tax return.

 

Dividends

 

Israeli residents who are individuals are generally subject to Israeli income tax for dividends paid (other than bonus shares or share dividends) at 25%, or 30% if the recipient of such dividend is a Substantial Shareholder, as defined above, at the time of distribution or at any time during the preceding 12-month period. Israeli resident corporations are generally exempt from Israeli corporate tax on the receipt of dividends paid on shares of Israeli resident corporations. 

 

Non-Israeli residents (whether individuals or corporations) are generally subject to Israeli income tax on the receipt of dividends paid on ordinary shares at the rate of 25% or 30% (if the dividend recipient is a Substantial Shareholder at the time of distribution or at any time during the preceding 12-month period). Such dividends are generally subject to Israeli withholding tax at a rate of 25% so long as the shares are registered with a nominee company (whether the recipient is a Substantial Shareholder or not), unless a reduced rate is provided under an applicable tax treaty (subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for a reduced tax rate). Under the U.S.- Israel Treaty and subject to the eligibility to the benefits under such treaty, the maximum rate of tax withheld at source in Israel on dividends paid to a holder of our ordinary shares who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Treaty) is 25%. However, for dividends not generated by a Preferred Enterprises, Special Preferred Enterprise, a Preferred Technology Enterprise or Special Preferred Technology Enterprise under the Encouragement of Capital Investments Lawand paid to a U.S. corporation holding 10% or more of the outstanding voting capital throughout the tax year in which the dividend is distributed as well as during the previous tax year, the maximum rate of withholding tax is generally 12.5%, provided that not more than 25% of the gross income of the Israeli resident paying corporation for such preceding year consists of certain types of dividends and interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends distributed from income attributed to an Approved Enterprise, Benefited Enterprise or Preferred Enterprise Special Preferred Enterprise, a Preferred Technology Enterprise or Special Preferred Technology Enterprise are not entitled to such reduction under such tax treaty but are subject to withholding tax at the rate of 15% , provided that the conditions related to the holding of 10% of our voting capital and to our gross income for the previous year (as set forth in the previous sentence) are met. The aforementioned rates under the U.S.-Israel Treaty would not apply if the dividend income is derived through a permanent establishment of the U.S. resident in Israel. In this case, 20% withholding tax rate will apply for such dividend to a United States corporate shareholder under the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law (4% withholding tax rate will apply providing certain conditions are met on dividend distribution from Preferred Technology Enterprise or Special Preferred Technology Enterprise). 

 

22

 

 

If the dividend is attributable partly to income derived from a Preferred Enterprise, Special Preferred Enterprise, a Preferred Technology Enterprise or Special Preferred Technology Enterprise, and partly to other sources of income, the withholding rate will be a blended rate reflecting the relative portions of the two types of income. U.S. residents (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Treaty) who are subject to Israeli withholding tax on a dividend may be entitled to a credit or deduction for United States federal income tax purposes up to the amount of the taxes withheld, subject to detailed rules contained in U.S. tax law. 

 

A non-Israeli resident who receives dividends from which tax was withheld is generally exempt from the obligation to file tax returns in Israel in respect of such income, provided, inter alia, that (i) such income was not derived from a business conducted in Israel by the taxpayer, (ii) the taxpayer has no other taxable sources of income in Israel with respect to which a tax return is required to be filed and (iii) the taxpayer is not obliged to pay excess tax (as further explained below).

 

Excess Tax 

 

Individuals who are subject to tax in Israel (whether any such individual is an Israeli resident or non-Israeli resident) are also subject to an additional tax at a rate of 3% on annual income exceeding NIS 721,560 for 2025 (which amount will be linked to the annual change in the Israeli consumer price index from 2028), including, but not limited to, dividends, interest and capital gain. According to new legislation, in effect as of January 1, 2025, an additional 2% excess tax will apply on Capital-Sourced Income to the extent that the Individual’s Capital Sourced Income exceeds the specified threshold of NIS 721,560 for 2025 (and regardless of the employment/business income amount of such individual). This new excess tax applies, among other things, to income from capital gains, dividends, interest, rental income, or the sale of real property. 

 

Estate and gift tax 

 

Israeli law presently does not impose estate or gift taxes.

 

Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following is a general summary of certain material United States federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants by U.S. Holders (as defined below) that hold such Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued pursuant to the Code, or the Treasury Regulations, administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, and the U.S.-Israel Income Tax Treaty, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or to different interpretation. No ruling has been sought from the IRS, with respect to any United States federal income tax consequences described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. This summary does not address all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, including but not limited to, (1) a bank, insurance company, regulated investment company, or other financial institution or “financial services entity”; (2) a broker or dealer in securities or foreign currency; (3) a person who acquired our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants in connection with employment or other performance of services; (4) a U.S. Holder that is subject to the U.S. alternative minimum tax; (5) a U.S. Holder that holds our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants as a hedge or as part of a hedging, straddle, conversion or constructive sale transaction or other risk-reduction transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (6) a retirement plan or tax-exempt entity; (7) real estate investment trusts or grantor trusts; (8) a U.S. Holder that expatriates out of the United States or a former long-term resident of the United States; or (9) a U.S. Holder having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a U.S. Holder that owns, directly or constructively, at any time, Ordinary Shares or ADSs representing 10% or more of our voting power or value (including by treating U.S. Holders of Common Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants, or other options to acquire our Ordinary Shares or ADSs as owning such Ordinary Shares or ADSs). Additionally, this summary does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax considerations or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax considerations or any U.S. federal tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences. In addition, this discussion assumes that a U.S. Holder will not be entitled to a fractional share upon the exercise of a Common Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant.

 

As used in this summary, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a “United States person.”

 

23

 

 

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants, the tax treatment of such partnership and each person or entity treated as a partner thereof will generally depend upon the status and activities of the partnership and such partner. A holder that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to it and its partners of the purchase, ownership and disposition of its Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

The discussions under “— Distributions” and under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants” below assume that we will not be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on our analysis of our income, assets, and operations, we believe that we may have been a PFIC for the preceding taxable year. Because the PFIC determination is highly fact intensive, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for 2025 or for any other taxable year. For a discussion of the rules that would apply if we are treated as a PFIC, see the discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company.”

 

This summary is not intended to be, and should not be considered to be, legal or tax advice. Investors should be aware that this summary does not address the tax consequences to investors who are not U.S. Holders. Investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax considerations applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of their Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.

 

Tax Characterization of Pre-funded Warrants

 

Although the appropriate characterization of Pre-Funded Warrants under the tax law is unsettled, it is likely that the Pre-Funded Warrants will be treated as a class of our Ordinary Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, it is possible that the IRS could treat the Pre-Funded Warrants as warrants to acquire our ADSs. If the Pre-Funded Warrants are not treated as a class of our Ordinary Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are instead treated as warrants to acquire our ADSs, then the U.S. federal income tax treatment of Pre-Funded Warrants generally should be the same as the treatment of Common Warrants as described below and the holding period of an ADS acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant would not include the period during which the Pre-Funded Warrant was held. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Ownership of ADSs

 

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we expect that a holder of ADSs generally should be treated as the owner of the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs. As a result, gain or loss is generally not expected to be recognized on account of exchanges of Ordinary Shares for ADSs, or of ADSs for Ordinary Shares.

 

Distributions

 

We have no current plans to pay dividends. To the extent we pay any dividends, a U.S. Holder will be required to include in gross income as a taxable dividend the amount of any distributions made on the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld, to the extent that those distributions are paid out of our current and/or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any distributions in excess of our earnings and profits will be applied against and will reduce the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Ordinary Shares or ADSs and to the extent they exceed that tax basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of those Ordinary Shares or ADSs. We do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles and, therefore, U.S. Holders should expect that the entire amount of any distribution generally will be reported as dividend income. If we were to pay dividends, we expect to pay such dividends in NIS with respect to the Ordinary Shares and in U.S. dollars with respect to ADSs. A dividend paid in NIS, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld, will be includible in a U.S. Holder’s income as a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date such dividend is received, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted to U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize a foreign currency gain or loss. However, if the U.S. Holder converts the NIS into U.S. dollars on a later date, the U.S. Holder must include, in computing its income, any gain or loss resulting from any exchange rate fluctuations. The gain or loss will be equal to the difference between (i) the U.S. dollar value of the amount included in income when the dividend was received and (ii) the amount received on the conversion of the NIS into U.S. dollars. Such gain or loss will generally be ordinary income or loss and United States source for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them if we pay dividends in NIS or any other non-U.S. currency.

 

24

 

 

Subject to certain significant conditions and limitations, including potential limitations under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, any Israeli taxes paid on or withheld from distributions from us and not refundable to a U.S. Holder may be credited against the investor’s U.S. federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted from the investor’s taxable income. The election to credit or deduct foreign taxes is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by a U.S. Holder or withheld from a U.S. Holder that year. Dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States and be categorized as “passive category income” or, in the case of some U.S. Holders, as “general category income” for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

 

As a result of recent changes to the U.S. foreign tax credit rules, a withholding tax may need to satisfy certain additional requirements in order to be considered a creditable tax for a U.S. Holder. We have not determined whether these requirements have been met and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any withholding tax on dividends paid by us will be creditable. Because the rules governing foreign tax credits are complex, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in their particular circumstances.

 

Dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares and ADSs will not be eligible for the “dividends-received” deduction generally allowed to corporate U.S. Holders with respect to dividends received from U.S. corporations.

 

Certain distributions treated as dividends that are received by an individual U.S. Holder from “qualified foreign corporations” generally qualify for a 20% tax rate so long as certain holding period and other requirements are met. A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is treated as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (i) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information program, or (ii) with respect to any dividend it pays on stock (or ADSs in respect of such stock) which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Dividends paid by us in a taxable year in which we are not a PFIC and with respect to which we were not a PFIC in the preceding taxable year are expected to be eligible for the 20% tax rate, although we can offer no assurances in this regard. However, any dividend paid by us in a taxable year in which we are a PFIC or were a PFIC in the preceding taxable year will be subject to tax at regular ordinary income rates. Because the PFIC determination is highly fact intensive, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC in 2025 or in any other taxable year. The additional 3.8% “net investment income tax” (described below) may apply to dividends received by certain U.S. Holders who meet certain modified adjusted gross income thresholds.

 

Adjustments with respect to Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants

 

The terms of the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants provide for an adjustment to the number of Ordinary Shares for which the warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the warrant in certain events. An adjustment that has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. However, the U.S. Holders of the Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants would be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from us if, for example, the adjustment increases the warrant holders’ proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through a decrease in the exercise price of the Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of our Ordinary Shares or ADSs, which is taxable to the U.S. Holders of such Ordinary Shares or ADSs as described under “—Distributions” above. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. Holders of the Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants received a cash distribution from us equal to the fair market value of such increased interest. U.S. Holders of Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are urged to consult their own tax advisors on these issues.

 

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants

 

Subject to the discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such securities. This capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in our securities exceeds one year. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gain (currently, with a maximum rate of 20%) will apply to individual U.S. Holders. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, subject to certain exceptions in the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty. The additional 3.8% “net investment income tax” (described below) may apply to gains recognized upon the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of our securities by certain U.S. Holders who meet certain modified adjusted gross income thresholds.

 

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving currency other than U.S. dollars upon the disposition of their Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants.

Exercise or Lapse of Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants

 

Subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the exercise of a Common Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant for cash. An ADS acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Common Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant for cash generally will have a tax basis equal to the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Common Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant, increased by the amount paid to exercise the Common Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant. The holding period of an ADS acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Common Warrant generally would begin on the day after the date of exercise of the Common Warrant. Subject to the discussion above regarding the tax characterization of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the holding period of a Pre-Funded Warrant should carry over to an ADS acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant. If a Common Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the warrant.

 

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants are unclear and could differ from the consequences described above. It is possible that a cashless exercise could be a taxable event. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the cashless exercise of Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, including with respect to whether the exercise is a taxable event, and their holding period and tax basis in the ADSs received.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company 

 

In general, a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income” or (ii) on average at least 50% of its assets (by value) produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, certain dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions and from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. Passive income also includes amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment of funds, including those raised in the public offering. Assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income may include cash, even if held as working capital or raised in a public offering, as well as marketable securities and other assets that may produce passive income. In determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.

 

Under the tests described above, whether or not we are a PFIC will be determined annually based upon the composition of our income and the composition and valuation of our assets, all of which are subject to change.

 

Based on our analysis of our income, assets, and operations, we believe that we may have been a PFIC for preceding taxable year. Because the PFIC determination is highly fact intensive, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC in 2025 or in any other taxable year. Even if we determine that we are not a PFIC after the close of a taxable year, there can be no assurance that a court or the IRS will agree with our conclusion.

 

Default PFIC Rules. If we are a PFIC for any tax year, a U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF election or a mark-to-market election, referred to in this disclosure as a “Non-Electing U.S. Holder,” will be subject to special rules with respect to (i) any “excess distribution” (generally, the portion of any distributions received by the Non-Electing U.S. Holder on the Ordinary Shares or ADSs (or warrants, to the extent applicable) in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing U.S. Holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares or ADSs), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants. Under these rules:

 

  the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants;

 

  the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any year prior to us becoming a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income; and

 

  the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

 

26

 

 

If a Non-Electing U.S. Holder who is an individual dies while owning our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants, the Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s successor would be ineligible to receive a step-up in tax basis of such Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants. Non-Electing U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the “net investment income tax” (described below) to their specific situation.

 

To the extent a distribution on our Ordinary Shares or ADSs (or warrants, to the extent applicable) does not constitute an excess distribution to a Non-Electing U.S. Holder, such Non-Electing U.S. Holder generally will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend to the extent of our current and/or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that are not allocated to excess distributions. The tax consequences of such distributions are discussed above under “— Taxation of U.S. Holders — Distributions.” Each U.S. Holder is encouraged to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of any distribution on our Ordinary Shares or ADSs (or warrants, to the extent applicable).

 

If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during the holding period of a Non-Electing U.S. Holder, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which the Non-Electing U.S. Holder is treated as a direct or indirect Non-Electing U.S. Holder even if we are not a PFIC for such years. A U.S. Holder is encouraged to consult its tax advisor with respect to any available elections that may be applicable in such a situation, including the “deemed sale” election of Code Section 1298(b)(1) (which will be taxed under the adverse tax rules described above).

 

We may invest in the equity of foreign corporations that are PFICs or may own subsidiaries that own PFICs. If we are classified as a PFIC, under attribution rules U.S. Holders will be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to their indirect ownership interests in such PFICs, such that a disposition of the shares of the PFIC or receipt by us of a distribution from the PFIC generally will be treated as a deemed disposition of such shares or the deemed receipt of such distribution by the U.S. Holder, subject to taxation under the PFIC rules. There can be no assurance that a U.S. Holder will be able to make a QEF election or a mark-to-market election with respect to PFICs in which we invest. Each U.S. Holder is encouraged to consult its own tax advisor with respect to tax consequences of an investment by us in a corporation that is a PFIC.

 

QEF Election. Certain adverse consequences of PFIC status can be mitigated for holders of our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, and Pre-Funded Warrants if a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election. A U.S. Holder may not make a QEF election with respect to our Common Warrants. A U.S. Holder who makes a timely QEF election, referred to in this disclosure as an “Electing U.S. Holder,” with respect to us must report for U.S. federal income tax purposes his pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain, if any, for our taxable year that ends with or within the taxable year of the Electing U.S. Holder. The “net capital gain” of a PFIC is the excess, if any, of the PFIC’s net long-term capital gains over its net short-term capital losses. The amount so included in income generally will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of such Electing U.S. Holder’s allocable share of the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and as long-term capital gain to the extent of such Electing U.S. Holder’s allocable share of the PFIC’s net capital gains. Such Electing U.S. Holder generally will be required to translate such income into U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for the PFIC’s taxable year with respect to the PFIC’s functional currency. Such income generally will be treated as income from sources outside the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Amounts previously included in income by such Electing U.S. Holder under the QEF rules generally will not be subject to tax when they are distributed to such Electing U.S. Holder. The Electing U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, or Pre-Funded Warrants generally will increase by any amounts so included under the QEF rules and decrease by any amounts not included in income when distributed.

 

An Electing U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such amounts for each taxable year in which we are a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed to such Electing U.S. Holder. However, an Electing U.S. Holder may, subject to certain limitations, elect to defer payment of current U.S. federal income tax on such amounts, subject to an interest charge. If an Electing U.S. Holder is an individual, any such interest will be treated as non-deductible “personal interest.”

 

Any net operating losses or net capital losses of a PFIC will not pass through to the Electing U.S. Holder and will not offset any ordinary earnings or net capital gain of a PFIC recognized by Electing U.S. Holder in subsequent years.

 

So long as an Electing U.S. Holder’s QEF election with respect to us is in effect with respect to the entire holding period for our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, or Pre-Funded Warrants, any gain or loss recognized by such Electing U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of such Ordinary Shares, ADSs, or Pre-Funded Warrants generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if such Electing U.S. Holder has held such Ordinary Shares, ADSs, or Pre-Funded Warrants for more than one year at the time of such sale, exchange or other disposition. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gain (currently, a maximum rate of 20%) will apply to individual U.S. Holders. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 

In general, a U.S. Holder must make a QEF election on or before the due date for filing its income tax return for the first year to which the QEF election is to apply. A U.S. Holder makes a QEF election by completing the relevant portions of and filing IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the instructions thereto. We cannot provide any assurances that we will provide to U.S. Holders the information required in order to complete IRS Form 8621 (which form would be required to be filed with the IRS on an annual basis by the U.S. Holder) and to make and maintain a valid QEF election for any year in which we are a PFIC. A QEF election will not apply to any taxable year during which we are not a PFIC, but will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year in which we become a PFIC.

 

27

 

 

A U.S. Holder may not make a QEF election with respect to our Common Warrants. As a result, if a U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of such Common Warrants (other than upon exercise thereof), any gain recognized generally will be subject to special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above, if we were a PFIC at any time during the period the U.S. Holder held the Common Warrants. If a U.S. Holder that exercises such Common Warrants properly makes a QEF election with respect to the newly acquired ADSs (or has previously made a QEF election with respect to our ADSs), the QEF election will apply to the newly acquired ADSs, but the adverse tax consequences attributable to the period prior to exercise of the Common Warrants, adjusted to take into account the current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election, will continue to apply with respect to such newly acquired ADSs, unless the U.S. Holder makes a “purging election” that creates a deemed sale of such ADSs at their fair market value. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above.

 

Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to the advisability of, the tax consequences of, and the procedures for making a QEF election with respect to us.

 

Mark-to-Market Election. Alternatively, if our Ordinary Shares or ADSs are treated as “marketable stock,” a U.S. Holder would be allowed to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our Ordinary Shares or ADSs, provided the U.S. Holder completes and files IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the relevant instructions and related Treasury Regulations. If the election is made, the U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our Ordinary Shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over such holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Ordinary Shares or ADSs. The U.S. Holder would also be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Ordinary Shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our Ordinary Shares or ADSs would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amount. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares or ADSs would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares or ADSs would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included in income by the U.S. Holder, and any loss in excess of such amount will be treated as capital loss. Amounts treated as ordinary income will not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains.

 

Generally, stock will be considered marketable stock if it is “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange” within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations. A class of stock is regularly traded on an exchange during any calendar year during which such class of stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. To be marketable stock, our Ordinary Shares and ADSs must be regularly traded on a qualifying exchange (i) in the United States that is registered with the SEC or a national market system established pursuant to the Exchange Act or (ii) outside the United States that is properly regulated and meets certain trading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements. Our Ordinary Shares should constitute “marketable stock” as long as they remain listed on Nasdaq and are regularly traded. Our ADSs are listed on Nasdaq. While we believe that our Ordinary Shares and ADSs may be treated as marketable stock for purposes of the PFIC rules so long as they are listed on Nasdaq, and are regularly traded, the IRS has not provided a list of the exchanges that meet the foregoing requirements and thus no assurance can be provided that our Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs will be (or will remain) treated as marketable stock for purposes of the PFIC rules.

 

A mark-to-market election will not apply to our Ordinary Shares or ADSs held by a U.S. Holder for any taxable year during which we are not a PFIC, but will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year in which we become a PFIC. Such election will not apply to any PFIC subsidiary that we own. Each U.S. Holder is encouraged to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election with respect to our Ordinary Shares and ADSs.

 

In addition, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the IRS information reporting and filing obligations that may arise as a result of the ownership of ordinary shares in a PFIC, including IRS Form 8621, Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund.

 

The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs, QEF elections, and mark-to market elections are complex. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants, any elections available with respect to such shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants, and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Certain Reporting Requirements

 

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to file IRS Form 926, Return by U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation, and IRS Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations, reporting transfers of cash or other property to us and information relating to the U.S. Holder and us. Substantial penalties may be imposed upon a U.S. Holder that fails to comply. See also the discussion regarding Form 8621, Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund, above.

 

28

 

 

In addition, certain U.S. Holders must report information on IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with respect to their investments in certain “specified foreign financial assets,” which would include an investment in our securities, if the aggregate value of all of those assets exceeds $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold). This reporting requirement applies to individuals and certain U.S. entities.

 

U.S. Holders who fail to report required information could become subject to substantial penalties. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these reporting requirements arising from their investment in our securities.

 

Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements 

 

Generally, information reporting requirements will apply to distributions on our Ordinary Shares or ADSs (or warrants, to the extent applicable) or proceeds on the disposition of our securities paid within the United States (and, in certain) proceeds on the disposition of our securities paid within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States) to U.S. Holders other than certain exempt recipients, such as corporations. Furthermore, backup withholding (currently at 24%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to (i) provide a correct taxpayer identification number, (ii) report interest and dividends required to be shown on its U.S. federal income tax return, or (iii) make other appropriate certifications in the required manner. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on IRS Form W-9.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding from a payment may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and such U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information in a timely manner.

 

Tax on Net Investment Income

 

Certain U.S. persons, including individuals, estates and trusts are generally subject to an additional 3.8% Medicare tax. For individuals, the additional Medicare tax applies to the lesser of (i) “net investment income” or (ii) the excess of “modified adjusted gross income” over $200,000 ($250,000 if married and filing jointly or $125,000 if married and filing separately). “Net investment income” generally equals the taxpayer’s gross investment income reduced by the deductions that are allocable to such income. Investment income generally includes passive income such as interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, rents, and capital gains. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of the additional Medicare tax resulting from their ownership and disposition of our securities.

 

The discussion above is a general summary and is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants. It does not cover all tax matters that may be of importance to a U.S. Holder. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares, ADSs, Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to a foreign private issuer. In accordance with the Exchange Act, we file reports, including annual reports on Form 20-F, with the SEC. We also furnish to the SEC under cover of Form 6-K material information required to be made public in Israel, filed with and made public by any stock exchange or distributed by us to our shareholders. Those other reports or other information may be inspected without charge at the locations described above. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements to shareholders, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the “short-swing profits” reporting and liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related Exchange Act rules. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we file with the SEC, within four months after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.

 

The registration statement on Form F-1 of which this prospectus forms a part, including the exhibits and schedules thereto, and reports and other information are filed by us with the SEC. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers, such as us, that file electronically with the SEC (http://www.sec.gov). 

 

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 this prospectus, substantially all of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside 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 irrevocably appointed Steakholder Foods USA, Inc. as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any U.S. federal or state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of Securities in connection with this offering. The address of our agent is 1007 North Orange Street, 10th Floor, Wilmington, Delaware, 19801, United States.

 

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Meitar | Law Offices, that it may be difficult to initiate an action with respect to U.S. securities law in original actions instituted in Israel or obtain a judgement based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning that Israel is not the most appropriate forum to hear 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 may also be governed by Israeli law.

 

Moreover, an Israeli court will not enforce a non-Israeli judgment if (among other things) it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases), or if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel, or if it was obtained by fraud or in absence of due process, or if it is at variance with another valid judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties, or if a suit in the same matter between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel, at the time the foreign action was brought.

 

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.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

 

Under the Israeli 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 amended articles of association include such a provision, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The company may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or other distribution to shareholders. 

 

Under the Israeli Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968 (the “Israeli Securities Law”), a company may indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking made in advance of any such event or following an event, provided its articles of association include a provision authorizing such indemnification: 

 

  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 foreseen events and amount or criteria;
     
  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder (1) 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 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 (2) in connection with a monetary sanction;
     
  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for an offense 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.

 

II-1

 

 

Under the Israeli Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law, a company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed by him or her 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, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company;

 

  a breach of the duty of care to the company or to a third party, to the extent such a breach arises out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;

 

  a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party; 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 to an injured party imposed on an office holder by an administrative proceeding, pursuant to certain provisions of the Securities Law.

 

Under the Israeli Companies Law, a company may not indemnify, exculpate or enter into an insurance contract for office holder liability, for any of the following:

 

  a breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification and insurance for 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 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 in a public company must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors and, with respect to the chief executive officer and a director or (under certain circumstances), also by the shareholders. See Item 6C to the 2024 Annual Report “Directors, Senior Management and Employees —Board Practices—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law.” However, the insurance of office holders shall not require shareholder approval and may be approved only by the compensation committee, if the engagement terms are determined in the company’s compensation policy and that policy was approved by the shareholders by a special majority (as described in Item 6C to the 2024 Annual Report “Directors, Senior Management and Employees —Board Practices—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law”), provided that the policy is on market terms and is not likely to materially impact the company’s profitability, assets or obligations. 

 

Our amended articles of association permit us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted under the Israeli Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law. We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of our office holders and intend to continue to maintain such coverage and pay all premiums thereunder to the fullest extent permitted by the Israeli Companies Law.

 

We have entered into indemnification and exculpation agreements with each of our current officers and directors exculpating them from a breach of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by the Israeli Companies Law and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by the Israeli Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law, to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by insurance. This indemnification is limited to events determined as foreseeable by our board of directors based on our activities, as set forth in the indemnification agreements. Under such indemnification agreements, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that we may pay to any and all of our currently serving or future officers and directors together may not exceed the higher of $5 million and 25% of our shareholders equity according to our most recent financial statements at the time of payment. In the opinion of the SEC, however, indemnification of directors and office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

The following is a summary of transactions during the preceding three years involving sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:

 

  In July 2023, we issued warrants to purchase 120,000 ADSs, exercisable at a price of $55.00 per ADS. In addition, we issued placement agent warrants to purchase 8,400 ADSs exercisable at a price of $62.50 per ADS.

 

  On February 27, 2025, we entered into the February SPA, with Alumni, whereby Alumni would purchase (i) 38,532 ADSs, at a final offering price of $5.6955 per ADS, (ii) warrants to purchase up to 219,472 ADSs Warrants, and (iii) February Pre-Funded Warrants, to the extent the purchase of ADSs pursuant to the SPA would have otherwise resulted in the investor, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding ADSs immediately following the consummation of the SPA. Each of the February Pre-Funded Warrants is exercisable for one ADS. The February Pre-Funded Warrants were purchased for $5.695 each, have an exercise price of $0.0005 per ADS, are immediately exercisable, and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

 

  On February 27, 2025, we entered into the ELOC Purchase Agreement with Alumni, establishing an $8 million equity line of credit. Pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we may sell to the investor up to the Commitment Amount of our Purchase Notice ADSs, from time to time during the term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement. In consideration for the execution and delivery of the ELOC Purchase Agreement by the investor, we paid the investor the Commitment Fee of 39,934 Commitment Shares, equal to two percent of the Commitment Amount following the effective date of the registration statement registering up to 1,511,111 ADSs, representing the Purchase Notice ADSs and the Commitment ADSs.

 

  On June 5, 2025, we entered into the June 2025 Private Placement Agreement for the purchase and sale in the of 124,286 ADS, at an offering price of $7.00 per ADS.

 

  On June 5, 2025, we entered into the June 2025 Convertible Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Lender provided us with a convertible loan in the amount of $870,000, convertible into ADSs at a price of $7.00 per ADSs in the event that we consummate a transaction or a series of transactions pursuant to which we will acquire the entire outstanding share capital of Twine.

 

We believe that the offers, sales and issuances of the securities described in the preceding paragraphs were exempt from registration either (a) under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Regulation D and Rule 506), in that the transactions were between an issuer and sophisticated investors or members of its senior executive management and did not involve any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) or (b) under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act in that offers, sales and issuances were not made to persons in the United States and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States.

The agreements included as exhibits to this registration statement contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and (i) were not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (ii) may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement; (iii) may apply contract standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under the applicable securities laws; and (iv) were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement.

 

Financial Statement Schedules: 

 

All Financial Statement Schedules have been omitted because either they are not required, are not applicable or the information required therein is otherwise set forth in the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. 

 

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 this registration statement:

 

i.To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii.To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post- effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

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

 

(2)That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 this 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 statement 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. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

 

II-5

 

 

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

 

(i)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

 

(ii)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.

 

(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 this registration statement, 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)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.

 

(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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.

 

(d)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1)For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement 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 this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2)For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
