Purchasers of securities in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment.
The effective offering price per share in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our ordinary shares before giving effect to this offering. Accordingly,
purchasers of our securities in this offering will incur immediate dilution of approximately $0.799 per share, representing the difference between the offering price per share and our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024.
Furthermore, if outstanding options or warrants are exercised, purchasers could experience further dilution. For more information, including how these amounts were calculated, see “Dilution.”
Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus supplement titled
“Use of Proceeds.” You will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering and purchasers will not have the opportunity, as part of their investment decision, to assess whether these proceeds
are being used appropriately. Our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not improve our financial condition or market value, which could cause the price of our securities to decline.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our ordinary shares or other securities. In addition, this offering and future
equity offerings and other issuances of our ordinary shares or other securities may adversely affect our ordinary share price.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional ordinary shares, or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ordinary shares at prices that may not be the
same as the price per ordinary share in this offering. We may sell ordinary shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per ordinary share that is less than the price per ordinary share paid by investors in this offering, and
investors purchasing ordinary shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per ordinary share at which we sell additional ordinary shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into
ordinary shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per ordinary share paid by investors in this offering.
In addition, we have a significant number of outstanding share options, restricted share units and warrants exercisable into our ordinary shares. To the extent that outstanding share options or
warrants are exercised, or restricted share units vest and settle, investors purchasing our ordinary shares in this offering may experience further dilution in the future. Furthermore, a significant portion of our total outstanding ordinary shares
are eligible to be sold into the market, which could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
The market price and trading volume of our ordinary shares may be volatile.
The price of our ordinary shares has been and may continue to be volatile. Even though our ordinary shares are listed on Nasdaq, an active trading market for our ordinary shares may not be sustained.
The lack of an active trading market may impair the value of your ordinary shares and your ability to sell your ordinary shares at the time you wish to sell them. An inactive trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling
our ordinary shares and enter into strategic partnerships by using our ordinary shares as consideration. Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that we will continue to satisfy the continued listing standards of Nasdaq. If we fail to satisfy the
continued listing standards, we could be de-listed, which would have a negative effect on the price of our ordinary shares.
We cannot predict the prices at which our ordinary shares may trade. The market price of our ordinary shares is likely to be highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to many factors,
including:
In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our
operating performance. Technical factors in the public trading market for our ordinary shares may produce price movements that may or may not comport with macro, industry or Company-specific fundamentals, including, without limitation, the
sentiment of retail investors (including as may be expressed on financial trading and other social media sites), the amount and status of short interest in our securities, access to margin debt, trading in options and other derivatives on our
ordinary shares and any related hedging or other technical trading factors. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that
company, as was the case for Lifeward in a securities class action dismissed in full in November 2020. If we become involved in any similar litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our management’s attention and resources could be diverted.
Holders of the ordinary warrants being sold in the concurrent private placement will have no rights as shareholders until they acquire our ordinary shares.
Until you acquire our ordinary shares upon exercise of the ordinary warrants being sold in the concurrent private placement, you will have no rights with respect to our ordinary
shares issuable upon exercise of such ordinary warrants, including the right to receive dividend payments, vote or respond to tender offers. Upon exercise of such ordinary warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a shareholder only
as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.
There is no public market for the ordinary warrants being offered by us in the concurrent private placement.
There is no established public trading market for the ordinary warrants being sold in the concurrent private placement, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we
do not intend to apply to list the ordinary warrants on any securities exchange or recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the ordinary warrants will be limited.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on
appreciation of the value of our ordinary shares.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our equity securities. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and
expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to shareholders will therefore be limited to any appreciation in the value of our ordinary shares, which is not certain.
In addition to historical information, this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the safe harbor provisions of the
U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or
assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, potential market opportunities and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements may
include projections regarding our future performance and, in some cases, can be identified by words like “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “future,”
“should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes and the negatives of those terms.
These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations, which are subject to uncertainty, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, and many of
which are outside of our control. Important factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity or performance to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others:
You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by
reference herein or therein speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to
predict all of them. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly for any reason after the date of this prospectus supplement to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in
our expectations, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
We estimate the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $4.39 million based on the sale of 1,818,183 ordinary shares at an offering price of $2.75 per share, after deducting placement
agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us as described in “Plan of Distribution.” This estimate excludes the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the ordinary warrants offered in the concurrent private placement.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for continuing commercial efforts, working capital, and general corporate purposes.
We do not currently have any agreement or understanding with respect to an acquisition in which we plan to invest some or all of the proceeds of the offering. Additionally, we do not currently have
more specific plans or commitments with respect to the net proceeds from this offering and, accordingly, are unable to quantify the allocation of such proceeds among the various potential uses. We will have broad discretion in the way that we use
the net proceeds of this offering.
We have never declared nor paid any cash dividends, and currently intend to retain all our cash and any earnings for use in our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any cash dividends
in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such
other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. Investors should not purchase our ordinary shares or other securities with the expectation of receiving cash dividends.
If you invest in our ordinary shares, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share and the as-adjusted net tangible book
value per ordinary share after this offering. Net tangible book value per ordinary share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding. As of September 30, 2024, our net
tangible book value per share was $1.855.
As-adjusted net tangible book value per share represents our net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the issuance and sale of all ordinary shares offered hereby, and after
deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us in connection with this offering.
We determine dilution by subtracting the net tangible book value per ordinary share as of September 30, 2024, on an as-adjusted basis for this offering, from the amount of cash that a new investor
paid for an ordinary share. The resulting amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.096 per ordinary share to existing investors, and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.799 per ordinary share to new
investors purchasing securities in this offering at the offering price.
The following table illustrates this dilution, and is based on, as of September 30, 2024, 8,805,633 ordinary shares issued and outstanding and 10,623,816 ordinary shares issued and outstanding on
an as-adjusted basis as described above.

The foregoing discussion and table do not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants. In
addition, 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. To the extent that additional capital is raised
through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

To the extent that such additional convertible securities are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors. In addition, we may seek 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. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance
of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.
DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES
This description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the sixth amended and restated articles of association, or the Articles of Association, a copy of which is filed as
Exhibit 3.1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 12, 2024.
General
Our authorized share capital currently consists solely of 25,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.75 per share. 8,808,616 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding as of January 6, 2025.
All of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Our ordinary shares are not redeemable and do not have any preemptive rights.
For information about deduction of the withholding tax or other duties from dividend payments, see “Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases
of Equity Securities” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors. Risks Related to Our Incorporation and Location in Israel” of our 2023 Annual Report.
Ordinary Shares
Quorum Requirements
The quorum required for our general meetings of shareholders consists of at least two holders of our ordinary shares present in person or by proxy and holding among them at least 33 1/3% of the
total outstanding voting rights.
Vote Requirements
Pursuant to our Articles of Association, holders of our ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote before the shareholders at a general meeting.
Shareholders may vote at a general meeting either in person, by proxy or by written ballot.
Our Articles of Association provide that all resolutions of our shareholders require a simple majority vote, unless otherwise required by the Israel Companies Law, 5799-1999 (the “Israel Companies
Law”) or by our Articles of Association. Under the Israel Companies Law, each of (i) the approval of an extraordinary transaction with a controlling shareholder and (ii) the terms of employment or other engagement of the controlling shareholder
of the company or such controlling shareholder’s relative (even if not extraordinary) requires special approval. For more information, see our Registration Statement on Form 8-A as filed with the SEC on September 2, 2014 under the heading “Item
1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.” Under our Articles of Association, the alteration of the rights, privileges, preferences or obligations of any class of our shares requires a simple majority vote of all classes of
shares voting together as a single class at a shareholder meeting. Our Articles of Association also require that the removal of any director from office (other than our external directors) or the amendment of the provisions of our amended
articles relating to our staggered board requires the vote of 65% of the total voting power of our shareholders. In addition, the voluntary winding up, or approval of a scheme of arrangement or reorganization, of the Company pursuant to Section
350 of the Israel Companies Law, requires the approval of holders of 75% of the voting rights represented at the meeting, in person, by proxy or by voting deed and voting on the resolution.
Preferred Shares
The Company may, from time to time, by shareholders resolution, provide for shares with such preferred or deferred rights or rights of redemption or other special rights and/or such restrictions,
whether in regard to dividends, voting, repayment of share capital or otherwise, as may be stipulated in such resolution (subject to the provisions of the Israel Companies Law). The rights of the holders of ordinary shares will be subject to, and
may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred shares that may be issued in the future. As of the date of the filing of the 2021 Annual Report, we had no preferred shares outstanding.
Transfer of Shares; Share Ownership Restrictions
Our fully paid ordinary shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred under our Articles of Association, unless the transfer is restricted or prohibited by another instrument,
applicable law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the shares are listed for trade. The ownership or voting of our ordinary shares by non-residents of Israel is not restricted in any way by our Articles of Association or the laws of the
State of Israel, except for ownership by nationals of some countries that are, or have been, in a state of war with Israel.
Election of Directors
Our ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. As a result, the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at a shareholders meeting have the
power to elect all of our directors, subject to the special approval requirements for external directors.
Under our Articles of Association, our board of directors must consist of not less than five but no more than thirteen directors, including two external directors as and if required by the Israel
Companies Law. Pursuant to our Articles of Association, other than the external directors, for whom special election requirements apply under the Israel Companies Law, the vote required to appoint a director is a simple majority vote of holders
of our voting shares, participating and voting at the relevant meeting. In addition, our directors, other than the external directors, are divided into three classes that are each elected at a general meeting of our shareholders every three
years, in a staggered fashion (such that one class is elected each year), and serve on our board of directors unless they are removed by a vote of 65% of the total voting power of our shareholders at a general or special meeting of our
shareholders or upon the occurrence of certain events, in accordance with the Israel Companies Law and our Articles of Association. In addition, our Articles of Association allow our board of directors to appoint new directors and appoint
directors to fill vacancies on the board of directors to serve for a term of office equal to the remaining period of the term of office of the directors(s) whose office(s) have been vacated.
External directors are elected for an initial term of three years, may be elected for additional terms of three years each under certain circumstances and may be removed from office pursuant to the
terms of the Israel Companies Law. Pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Israel Companies Law, as a company that does not have a controlling shareholder and that complies with the United States securities laws and the corporate governance
rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, we are permitted to “opt out” of the requirement to appoint external directors. In February 2018, we opted out of the requirement to have external directors.
Dividend and Liquidation Rights
Subject to the Israel Companies Law, we may declare a dividend to be paid to the holders of our ordinary shares in proportion to their respective shareholdings. Under the Israel Companies Law,
dividend distributions are determined by the board of directors and do not require the approval of the shareholders of a company unless the company’s articles of association provide otherwise. Our Articles of Association do not require
shareholder approval of a dividend distribution and provide that dividend distributions may be determined by our board of directors.
Pursuant to the Israel Companies Law, a company may make a distribution of dividends out of its profits on the condition that there is no reasonable concern that the distribution may prevent the
company from meeting its existing and expected obligations when they fall due. The Israel Companies Law defines such profit as retained earnings or profits accrued in the last two years, whichever is greater, according to the last reviewed or
audited financial statements of the company, provided that the date of the financial statements is not more than six months before the distribution.
In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders of our ordinary shares in proportion to their shareholdings. This
right, as well as the right to receive dividends, may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.
Exchange Controls
There are currently no Israeli currency control restrictions on payments of dividends or other distributions with respect to our ordinary shares or the proceeds from the sale of the shares, except
for the obligation of Israeli residents to file reports with the Bank of Israel regarding certain transactions. However, legislation remains in effect pursuant to which currency controls can be imposed by administrative action at any time.
Shareholder Meetings
Under Israeli law, we are required to hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders once every calendar year and no later than 15 months after the date of the previous annual general
meeting. All meetings other than the annual general meeting of shareholders are referred to in our Articles of Association as extraordinary general meetings. Our board of directors may call extraordinary general meetings whenever it sees fit,
at such time and place, within or outside of Israel, as it may determine. In addition, the Israel Companies Law provides that our board of directors is required to convene an extraordinary general meeting upon the written request of (i) any two
of our directors or one-quarter of the members of our board of directors or (ii) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, either (a) ten percent or more of our outstanding issued shares and one percent of our outstanding voting power
or (b) ten percent or more of our outstanding voting power.
Subject to the provisions of the Israel Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, shareholders entitled to participate and vote at general meetings are the shareholders of record
on a date to be decided by the board of directors, which may be between four and 60 days prior to the date of the meeting. Furthermore, the Israel Companies Law requires that resolutions regarding the following matters be passed at a general
meeting of our shareholders:
|
• |
amendments to our Articles of Association;
|
|
• |
appointment or termination of our auditors;
|
|
• |
appointment of external directors;
|
|
• |
approval of certain related party transactions;
|
|
• |
increases or reductions of our authorized share capital;
|
|
• |
the exercise of our board of directors’ powers by a general meeting, if our board of directors is unable to exercise its powers and the exercise of any of its powers is required for our proper management.
|
The Israel Companies Law and our Articles of Association require that notice of any annual general meeting or extraordinary general meeting be provided to shareholders at least 21 days prior to the
meeting and if the agenda of the meeting includes the appointment or removal of directors, the approval of transactions with office holders or interested or related parties, or an approval of a merger, notice must be provided at least 35 days
prior to the meeting.
Under the Israel Companies Law and under our Articles of Association, our shareholders are not permitted to take action via written consent in lieu of a meeting.
Access to Corporate Records
Under the Israel Companies Law, shareholders generally have the right to review: minutes of our general meetings; our shareholders register and principal shareholders register; our Articles of
Association; our annual financial statements; and any document that we are required by law to file publicly with the Israel Companies Registrar or the Israel Securities Authority. In addition, shareholders may request to be provided with any
document related to an action or transaction with a related party that requires shareholder approval under the related party transaction provisions of the Israel Companies Law. We may deny a request to review a document if we believe it has not
been made in good faith, that the document contains a trade secret or patent or that the document’s disclosure may otherwise impair our interests.
Acquisitions Under Israeli Law
Full Tender Offer. A person wishing to acquire shares of an Israeli public company and who would as a result hold over 90% of the target company’s issued
and outstanding share capital (or of a class thereof) is required by the Israel Companies Law to make a tender offer to all of the company’s shareholders for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the company (or the
applicable class). If as a result of a full tender offer the purchaser would own more than 95% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class, and more than half of the shareholders who do not have a
personal interest in the offer accept the offer, all of the shares that the purchaser offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer by operation of law. The law provides for appraisal rights if any shareholder files a request in court
within six months following the consummation of a full tender offer, provided that the purchaser is entitled to stipulate that tendering shareholders forfeit their appraisal rights. If as a result of a full tender offer the purchaser would own
95% or less of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class, the purchaser may not acquire shares that will cause its shareholding to exceed 90% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or
of the applicable class.
Special Tender Offer. The Israel Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares of an Israeli public company must be made by means of a special tender
offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, unless there is already another holder of at least 25% of the voting rights in the company. Similarly, the Israel
Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company,
if there is no other shareholder of the company who holds more than 45% of the voting rights in the company, subject to certain exceptions.
A special tender offer must be extended to all shareholders of a company but the offeror is not required to purchase shares representing more than 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s
outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders. A special tender offer may be consummated only if (i) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror and
(ii) the number of shares tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares whose holders objected to the offer (excluding the purchaser, controlling shareholders, holders of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company or any person having a
personal interest in the acceptance of the tender offer). If a special tender offer is accepted, then the purchaser or any person or entity controlling it or under common control with the purchaser or such controlling person or entity may not
make a subsequent tender offer for the purchase of shares of the target company and may not enter into a merger with the target company for a period of one year from the date of the offer, unless the purchaser or such person or entity undertook
to effect such an offer or merger in the initial special tender offer.
Merger. The Israel Companies Law permits merger transactions if approved by each party’s board of directors and, unless certain requirements described under
the Israel Companies Law are met, by a majority vote of each party’s shares, and, in the case of the target company, a majority vote of each class of its shares, voted on the proposed merger at a shareholders meeting.
For purposes of the shareholder vote, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger will not be deemed approved if a majority of the votes of shares represented at the shareholders meeting that are
held by parties other than the other party to the merger, or by any person (or group of persons acting in concert) who holds (or hold, as the case may be) 25% or more of the voting rights or the right to appoint directors of the other party, vote
against the merger. If, however, the merger involves a merger with a company’s own controlling shareholder or if the controlling shareholder has a personal interest in the merger, then the merger is instead subject to the same special majority
approval that governs all extraordinary transactions with controlling shareholders.
If the transaction would have been approved by the shareholders of a merging company but for the separate approval of each class or the exclusion of the votes of certain shareholders as provided
above, a court may still approve the merger upon the request of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of a company, if the court holds that the merger is fair and reasonable, taking into account the value of the parties to the merger and
the consideration offered to the shareholders of the company.
Upon the request of a creditor of either party to the proposed merger, the court may delay or prevent the merger if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that, as a result of the
merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of the merging entities, and may further give instructions to secure the rights of creditors.
In addition, a merger may not be consummated unless at least 50 days have passed from the date on which a proposal for approval of the merger was filed by each party with the Israeli Companies
Registrar and at least 30 days have passed from the date on which the merger was approved by the shareholders of each party.
Anti-takeover Measures Under Israeli Law
The Israel Companies Law allows us to create and issue shares having rights different from those attached to our ordinary shares, including shares providing certain preferred rights with respect to
voting, distributions or other matters and shares having preemptive rights. Upon the closing of our initial public offering, our Articles of Association were amended to provide that no preferred shares are authorized. In the future, if we do
authorize, create and issue a specific class of preferred shares, such class of shares, depending on the specific rights that may be attached to it, may have the ability to frustrate or prevent a takeover or otherwise prevent our shareholders
from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their ordinary shares. The authorization and designation of a class of preferred shares will require an amendment to our Articles of Association, which requires the prior approval of the
holders of a majority of the voting power attaching to our issued and outstanding shares at a general meeting. The convening of the meeting, the shareholders entitled to participate and the majority vote required to be obtained at such a meeting
will be subject to the requirements set forth in the Israel Companies Law as described above in “— Vote Requirements.”
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares is Equiniti Trust Company, LLC. Its address is 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11219, and its telephone number is (800) 937-5449.
MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our
securities offered hereby. 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
The following is a discussion of the material Israeli tax consequences concerning the ownership and disposition of our securities. 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 such investors include residents of Israel or
traders in securities who are subject to special tax regimes not covered in this discussion. Because parts of this discussion are based on new tax legislation that has not yet been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, we cannot
assure you that the appropriate tax authorities or the courts will accept the views expressed in this discussion. The discussion below is subject to change, including due to amendments under Israeli law or changes to the applicable judicial or
administrative interpretations of Israeli law, which change could affect the tax consequences described below. The discussion should not be construed as legal or professional tax advice and does not cover all possible tax considerations.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares
A non-Israeli resident who derives capital gains from the sale of shares or warrants in an Israeli resident company that were purchased after the company was listed for trading on a stock exchange
outside of Israel will be exempt from Israeli tax so long as the securities were not held through a permanent establishment that the non-resident maintains in Israel. A partial exemption may be available for non-Israeli resident holders who
acquired their securities prior to the issuer’s initial public offering.
However, non-Israeli “body of persons” (as defined in the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 5721-1961, which includes corporate entities, partnerships and other entities, will not be
entitled to the foregoing exemption if Israeli residents: (i) have a controlling interest of more than 25% in any of the means of control of such non-Israeli body of persons or (ii) are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25% or more of
the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli body of persons, whether directly or indirectly. Such exemption is not applicable to a person whose gains from selling or otherwise disposing of the securities are deemed to be a business income.
Additionally, a sale of securities by a non-Israeli resident may be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty. For example, under the United
States-Israel Tax Treaty, the disposition of shares by a shareholder who (i) is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the treaty), (ii) holds the shares as a capital asset, and (iii) is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such person by the
treaty, is generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax. Such exemption will not apply if: (i) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange, or disposition is attributed to real estate located in Israel; (ii) the capital gain arising
from such sale, exchange, or disposition is attributed to royalties; (iii) the capital gain arising from the disposition can be attributed to a permanent establishment in Israel; (iv) the shareholder holds, directly or indirectly, shares
representing 10% or more of the voting capital during any part of the 12-month period preceding the disposition, subject to certain conditions; or (v) such U.S. resident is an individual and was present in Israel for 183 days or more during
the relevant taxable year. In such case, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares should be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the United States-Israel Tax Treaty, the taxpayer would be permitted
to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations under U.S. law applicable to foreign tax credits. The United States-Israel Tax Treaty
does not relate to U.S. state or local taxes.
In some instances where our holders may be liable for Israeli tax on the sale of their securities, the payment of the consideration may be subject to the withholding of Israeli tax at source and
sellers may be required to demonstrate that they are exempt from tax on their capital gains in order to avoid withholding at source at the time of sale. Specifically, the Israel Tax Authority may require shareholders who are not liable for
Israeli capital gains tax on such a sale to sign declarations on forms specified by the Israel Tax Authority, provide documents (including, for example, a certificate of residency) 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, the Israel Tax Authority may require the purchaser of the shares to withhold tax at source).
If the above exemptions from capital gains tax are not available, individuals will be subject to a 25% tax rate on capital gains derived from the sale of securities, as long as the individual is
not a “substantial shareholder” of the corporation issuing the shares (in which case the individual will be subject to a 30% tax rate), and corporations will be subject to a corporate tax rate (currently 23%). A
“substantial shareholder” is generally a person who alone or together with such person’s relative or another person who collaborates with such person on a permanent basis, holds, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of any of the “means of
control” of the corporation. “Means of control” generally include the right to vote, receive profits, nominate a director or an executive officer, receive assets upon liquidation, or instruct someone who holds any of the aforesaid rights how
to act, regardless of the source of such right (which source may include shares and rights to shares such as warrants). The determination of whether the individual is a substantial shareholder will be made on the date on which the
securities are sold. In addition, the individual will be deemed to be a substantial shareholder if at any time during the 12 months preceding the date of sale he or she was a substantial shareholder.
Taxation of Non-Israeli Shareholders on Receipt of Dividends
Dividends paid on publicly traded shares, like our ordinary shares, to non-Israeli residents are generally subject to Israeli withholding tax at a rate of 25%, unless a lower rate is provided
under an applicable tax treaty and a certificate from the Israeli Tax Authority allowing for a reduced withholding tax rate is obtained in advance. However, if the shareholder who is a “substantial shareholder” at the time of receiving the
dividend or at any time during the preceding 12-month period, the applicable tax rate will be 30%. 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).
Under the United States-Israel Tax 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
United States-Israel Tax Treaty) is 25%. The United States Israel Tax Treaty provides for reduced tax rates on dividends if (a) the shareholder is a U.S. corporation holding at least 10% of our issued voting power during the part of the tax
year that precedes the date of payment of the dividend and held such minimal percentage during the whole of its prior tax year, and (b) not more than 25% of the Israeli company’s gross income consists of interest or dividends, other than
dividends or interest received from subsidiary corporations or corporations 50% or more of the outstanding voting shares of which is owned by the Israeli company. The reduced treaty rate, if applicable, is 15% in the case of dividends paid
from income derived from a Beneficiary, Preferred Enterprise, Preferred Technology Enterprise or a Special Preferred Technology Enterprise (certain Israeli tax-benefit programs that may apply to us) or 12.5% otherwise. The aforementioned
rates under the United States Israel Tax Treaty will not apply if the dividend income was derived through or attributed to a permanent establishment of the Treaty U.S. Resident in Israel. We cannot assure you that in the event we declare a
dividend we will designate the income out of which the dividend is paid in a manner that will reduce shareholders’ tax liability.
If the dividend is attributable partly to income derived from a Beneficiary, Preferred Enterprise, Preferred Technology Enterprise or a 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 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 in the amount of the taxes withheld, subject to detailed rules contained in U.S. tax legislation.
Surtax
Individuals who are subject to income tax in Israel (whether any such individual is an Israeli resident or non-Israeli resident) are also subject to an additional surtax at a rate of 3% on
annual income (including, but not limited to, income derived from dividends, interest and capital gains) exceeding NIS 721,560 for 2025, which amount is linked to the annual change in the Israeli consumer price index. According to the
Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments to Achieve the Budget Targets for the 2025 Budget Year) (Freezing of Tax Updates and Surtax), 5785-2024 (the “Economic Efficiency Law”), during the years 2025-2027, the aforementioned amount
will not be adjusted in accordance with the Israeli consumer price index. In addition, according to the Economic Efficiency Law, an individual whose taxable income from Capital Sources in the tax year exceeds the aforesaid amount shall be
subject to an additional tax on the portion of their taxable income from Capital Sources that exceeds the aforesaid amount, at a rate of 2%. For this purpose, Capital Source means any source of income (including, inter alia, capital gain,
dividend and interest) other than income from business, employment and personal exertion.
Israel Innovation Authority
We have received grants from the Israel Innovation Authority, or the IIA, for research and development programs in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.8 million as of September 30, 2024. We
may in the future apply to receive additional grants from the IIA to support our research and development activities. With respect to such grants we are committed to pay royalties at a rate of 3.0% on sales proceeds up to the total amount of
grants received, linked to the dollar and bearing interest at an annual rate of LIBOR applicable to dollar deposits. As of September 30, 2024, the amount of royalties that we paid to the IIA was $114,000 and the remaining aggregate amount to be
returned to the IIA through royalties on future sales was about $1.6 million. If we transfer our manufacturing outside of Israel the rate of royalties and the aggregate amount to be repaid can be increased significantly. Even after payment in
full of these amounts, we will still be required to comply with the requirements of the Israeli Encouragement of Industrial Research, Development and Technological Innovation Law, 5744-1984, or the R&D Law, and related regulations and IIA
guidelines, with respect to those past grants. When a company develops know-how, technology or products using IIA grants, the terms of these grants and the R&D Law restrict the transfer of such know-how to third parties or outside of
Israel, and of the manufacturing or manufacturing rights of such products, technologies or know-how, without the prior approval of the IIA. Therefore, if aspects of our technology are deemed to have been developed with IIA funding, the
discretionary approval of an IIA committee would be required for any transfer to third parties of know-how or manufacturing or manufacturing rights related to those aspects of such technologies. Furthermore, the IIA may impose certain
conditions on any arrangement under which it permits us to transfer technology or development out of Israel or may not grant such approvals at all.
Furthermore, the consideration available to our shareholders in a future transaction involving the transfer outside of Israel of technology or know-how developed with IIA funding (such as a merger
or similar transaction) may be reduced by any amounts that we are required to pay to the IIA.
In addition to the above, we are required to notify the IIA of any change in our means of control (e.g. equity or the right to nominate board members) and if any non-Israeli entity becomes an
interested party in us (e.g. (i) becomes a holder of 5% or more of our share capital or voting rights, (ii) is entitled to appoint one or more of our directors or our chief executive officer or (iii) serves as one of our directors or as our chief
executive officer) or if an existing foreign interested party purchases or is issued any means of control in us, we will be required to have such foreign interested party to sign an undertaking to comply with the rules and regulations applicable
to the grant programs of the IIA and the R&D Law.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares by a U.S. Holder (as defined
below). This description addresses only the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders that are initial purchasers of our ordinary shares and that will hold such ordinary shares as capital assets. This description does not address tax
considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:
|
• |
banks, financial institutions or insurance companies;
|
|
• |
real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies or grantor trusts;
|
|
• |
brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;
|
|
• |
tax-exempt entities or organizations, including an “individual retirement account” or “Roth IRA” as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the Code (as defined below), respectively;
|
|
• |
certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
|
|
• |
persons that received our securities as compensation for the performance of services;
|
|
• |
persons that will hold our securities as part of a “hedging,” “integrated” or “conversion” transaction or as a position in a “straddle” for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
|
|
• |
partnerships (including entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or other pass-through entities, or holders that will hold our securities through such an entity;
|
|
• |
holders that acquire ordinary shares as a result of holding or owning our preferred shares;
|
|
• |
holders whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. Dollar;
|
|
• |
persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the ordinary shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement; or
|
|
• |
holders that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10% or more of the voting power or value of our shares.
|
Moreover, this description does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax consequences, or any state, local or foreign tax consequences, of the acquisition, ownership and
disposition of our securities.
This description is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, existing, proposed and temporary United States Treasury Regulations and judicial and administrative
interpretations thereof, in each case as in effect and available on the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below. There can be no
assurances that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares or that such a position would not be sustained.
Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities in their particular circumstances.
For purposes of this description, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is:
|
• |
An individual holder that is a citizen or resident of the United States;
|
|
• |
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia;
|
|
• |
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
|
|
• |
a trust if such trust has validly elected to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and (2)
one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.
|
If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our securities, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend
on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner or partnership should consult its tax advisor as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares
in its particular circumstance.
You should consult your tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares.
Distributions
As noted above, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,”
the gross amount of any distribution made to you with respect to our ordinary shares before reduction for any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom, other than certain distributions, if any, of our ordinary shares distributed pro rata to all our
shareholders, generally will be includible in your income as dividend income to the extent such distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Subject to
applicable limitations (and assuming that we are not a passive foreign investment company for our taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year), dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may qualify for the
preferential rates of taxation with respect to dividends on ordinary shares if certain requirements, including share holding period requirements, are satisfied by the recipient and either we are eligible for the benefits of the United
States-Israel Tax Treaty or our ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established market in the United States. However, such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporate U.S. Holders. To
the extent that the amount of any distribution by us exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, it will be treated first as a return of your adjusted tax basis in our ordinary
shares to the extent thereof and thereafter as either long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon whether your holding period for our ordinary shares exceeds one year as of the time such distribution is received. However, we do not expect
to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that the entire amount of any distribution generally will be reported as dividend income to you.
Subject to certain conditions and limitations, Israeli tax withheld on dividends may be deducted from your taxable income or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability. Dividends paid
to you with respect to our ordinary shares will generally be treated as foreign source income, which may be relevant in calculating your foreign tax credit limitation.
The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and you should consult your tax advisor to determine whether and to what extent you will be entitled to this credit.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares
Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” you generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our
ordinary shares equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and your adjusted tax basis in such securities (taking into account the rules discussed above). Any such gain or loss
generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the ordinary shares is more than one year at the time of the taxable disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. Holder may
be eligible for preferential rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes is subject to limitations under the Code. Any recognized gain or loss of a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as U.S.
source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
If we were to be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, under Section 1297 of the Code, in any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules generally intended
to reduce or eliminate any benefits from the deferral of U.S. federal income tax that a U.S. Holder could derive from investing in a non-U.S. company that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis.
A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of
subsidiaries, either:
|
• |
at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income”; or
|
|
• |
at least 50% of the average quarterly value of its total gross assets (which may be measured in part by the market value of our ordinary shares, which is subject to change as discussed below) is attributable to assets that produce
“passive income” or are held for the production of passive income.
|
Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, gains from commodities and securities transactions, the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of
assets which produce passive income, and includes amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment of funds raised in offerings of our ordinary shares. If a non-U.S. corporation owns directly or indirectly at least 25% by value of the stock
of another corporation, the non-U.S. corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation’s
income.
Our status as a PFIC will depend on the nature and composition of our income and the nature, composition and value of our assets from time to time. The 50% passive asset test described above is
generally based on the fair market value of each asset, with the value of goodwill and going concern value determined in large part by reference to the market value of our ordinary shares, which may be volatile. If we are characterized as a
“controlled foreign corporation,” or a “CFC” under Section 957(a) of the Code and not considered publicly traded throughout the relevant taxable year, however, the passive asset test may be applied based on the adjusted tax bases of our assets
instead of the fair market value of each asset (as described above).
Based on our gross income and assets, the market price of our ordinary shares and the nature of our business, we believe that we were not a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2023. This
determination, however, is subject to uncertainty. In addition, there is a significant risk that we may be a PFIC for the current or future taxable years, depending upon the market price of our ordinary shares and the amount of cash and other
passive assets we hold relative to the amount of non-passive assets we hold. Accordingly, no assurances can be made regarding our PFIC status in the current or one or more subsequent years, and our U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect
to our PFIC status in the taxable year ended December 31, 2023, and also expresses no opinion with respect to our predictions or past determinations regarding our PFIC status in the past or in the future.
Under certain attribution rules, if we are a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be deemed to own their proportionate share of our PFIC subsidiaries, such subsidiaries referred to as “lower-tier PFICs,” and
will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the manner discussed below on (1) a distribution to us on the shares of a “lower-tier PFIC” and (2) a disposition by us of shares of a “lower-tier PFIC,” both as if the holder directly held the shares
of such “lower-tier PFIC.”
If an entity is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds (or, as discussed in the previous paragraph, is deemed to hold) its ordinary shares, such holder will be
subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax rules. In general, if a U.S. Holder disposes of shares of a PFIC (including an indirect disposition or a constructive disposition of shares of a “lower-tier PFIC”), gain recognized or deemed recognized
by such holder would be allocated ratably over such holder’s holding period for the shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of disposition and to years before the entity became a PFIC, if any, would be treated as ordinary income. The
amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for such taxable year for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax attributable to such
allocated amounts. Further, any distribution in respect of shares of a PFIC (or a distribution by a lower-tier PFIC to its shareholders that is deemed to be received by a U.S. Holder) in excess of 125% of the average of the annual distributions
on such shares received or deemed to be received during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, would be subject to taxation in the manner described above. In addition, dividend distributions made to
you will not qualify for the preferential rates of taxation applicable to long-term capital gains discussed above under “Distributions.”
If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, we must generally continue to be treated as a PFIC by that holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S.
Holder holds the ordinary shares, unless we cease to meet the requirements for PFIC status and the U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to the ordinary shares. If such election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have
sold the ordinary shares it holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the consequences described above. After the deemed sale
election, the U.S. Holder’s ordinary shares with respect to which the deemed sale election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC, unless we subsequently again become a PFIC.
Where a company that is a PFIC meets certain reporting requirements, a U.S. Holder can avoid certain adverse PFIC consequences described above by making a “qualified electing fund,” or QEF,
election to be taxed currently on its proportionate share of the PFIC’s ordinary income and net capital gains. However, we do not intend to comply with the necessary accounting and record keeping requirements that would allow a U.S. Holder to
make a QEF election with respect to us.
If we are a PFIC and our ordinary shares are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange,” a U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to our ordinary shares (but not the shares
of any lower-tier PFICs), which may help to mitigate the adverse tax consequences resulting from our PFIC status (but not that of any lower-tier PFICs). Our ordinary shares will be treated as “regularly traded” in any calendar year in which more
than a de minimis quantity of the ordinary shares are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (subject to the rule that trades that have as one of their principal purposes the meeting of the trading
requirement are disregarded). The Nasdaq Capital Market is a qualified exchange for this purpose and, consequently, if the ordinary shares are regularly traded, the mark-to-market election will be available to a U.S. Holder; however, there can be
no assurance that trading volumes will be sufficient to permit a mark-to-market election. In addition, because a mark-to-market election with respect to us does not apply to any equity interests in “lower-tier PFICs” that we own, a U.S. Holder
generally will continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to its indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as equity interests in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If a U.S. Holder makes the mark-to-market election, for each year in which we are a PFIC, the holder will generally include as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of
ordinary shares at the end of the taxable year over their adjusted tax basis, and will be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of our ordinary shares over their fair market value at the end of the
taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). If a U.S. Holder makes the election, the holder’s tax basis in our ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any
such income or loss amounts. Any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares will be treated as ordinary income. Any losses recognized on a sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares will be treated as ordinary
loss to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains for prior years. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and consequences of making a mark-to-market election in their particular circumstances. In particular,
U.S. Holders should consider carefully the impact of a mark-to-market election with respect to our ordinary shares if we have “lower-tier PFICs” for which such election is not available. Once made, the mark-to-market election cannot be revoked
without the consent of the IRS unless our ordinary shares cease to be “regularly traded.”
If a U.S. Holder owns ordinary shares during any year in which we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder generally will be required to file an IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive
Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund) with respect to the company, generally with the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax return for that year. A failure to file such form may result in penalties and may suspend the running of the
statute of limitations on the tax return. If we were a PFIC for a given taxable year, then you should consult your tax advisor concerning your annual filing requirements.
The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. Prospective U.S. investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of these rules on
the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares, the consequences to them of an investment in a PFIC, any elections available with respect to the ordinary shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the
purchase, ownership and disposition of the ordinary shares.
Medicare Tax
Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include all or a portion of their dividend
income and net gains from the disposition of ordinary shares. Each U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its
investment in our ordinary shares.
Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements
United States backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements may apply to certain payments to certain holders of stock. Information reporting generally will apply to payments of
dividends on, and to proceeds from the sale or redemption of, our ordinary shares made within the United States, or by a United States payor or United States middleman, to a holder of our ordinary shares, other than an exempt recipient (including
a payee that is not a United States person that provides an appropriate certification and certain other persons). A payor will be required to withhold backup withholding tax from any payments of dividends on, or the proceeds from the sale or
redemption of, ordinary shares within the United States, or by a United States payor or United States middleman, to a holder, other than an exempt recipient, if such holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise
fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup withholding tax requirements. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the
beneficial owner’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Foreign Asset Reporting
Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information relating to an interest in our ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained
by U.S. financial institutions) by filing IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their federal income tax return. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their information reporting
obligations, if any, with respect to their ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.
The above description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. You should consult
your tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares in your particular situation.
CONCURRENT PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF WARRANTS
In a concurrent private placement, we are selling to each of the investors in this offering one ordinary warrant to purchase one ordinary share for each ordinary share purchased in this offering by
each such investor. Each whole ordinary warrant is exercisable into one ordinary share. The aggregate number of ordinary warrant shares exercisable pursuant to the ordinary warrants is 1,818,183. The ordinary warrants will be exercisable at an
exercise price of $2.75 per share. The exercise price and number of ordinary warrant shares issuable upon the exercise of the ordinary warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event of any share dividend and split, reverse share split,
recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the ordinary warrants.
Each ordinary warrant shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of exercise equal to three years from the date of issuance. A holder of ordinary warrants will have the right to
exercise the ordinary warrants on a “cashless” basis if there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the ordinary warrant shares. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of ordinary warrants will not have the right to
exercise any portion of its ordinary warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of the number of our ordinary shares
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, provided that the holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation up to 9.99%. Any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation shall not be effective until 61
days following notice of such change to the Company.
In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the ordinary 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 ordinary warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the ordinary warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or
other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the ordinary warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a fundamental transaction, the holder will have the right to
require us or a successor entity to repurchase its ordinary warrants in, at our option, cash, ordinary shares or the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), but valued at the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion
of the ordinary warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of ordinary shares in connection with the fundamental transaction.
Except as otherwise provided in the ordinary warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our ordinary shares, the holders of the ordinary warrants do not have the rights or privileges of
holders of our ordinary shares, including any voting rights, until they exercise their ordinary warrants.
The ordinary warrants and the ordinary warrant shares are being offered pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D
promulgated thereunder, and they are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
There is no established public trading market for the ordinary warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to list the ordinary warrants on The Nasdaq Capital
Market, any other national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system. All purchasers are required to be “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
As part of the concurrent private placement, we have agreed to register for resale the ordinary warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the ordinary warrants sold in the concurrent private
placement within 30 days of the date of this prospectus supplement.
Pursuant to an engagement letter agreement dated as of January 6, 2025, we have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this
offering. Under the terms of the engagement letter agreement, Wainwright has agreed to act as our exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the issuance and sale of our securities pursuant to this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, Wainwright and prospective investors. The engagement letter agreement does not give rise to any
commitment by Wainwright to purchase or sell any of our securities, and Wainwright will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the engagement letter agreement. Wainwright may retain other underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents to assist
with the offering.
Wainwright proposes to arrange for the sale of the securities we are offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus to one or more purchasers through a securities
purchase agreement directly between such purchasers and us. We will only sell to such investors who have entered into the securities purchase agreement with us.
We expect to deliver the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus on or about January 8, 2025, subject to satisfaction of customary closing
conditions.

We have agreed to pay Wainwright a total cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of this offering. We will also pay Wainwright in connection with this offering a
management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the offering, $35,000 for non-accountable expenses, up to $50,000 for fees and expenses of legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses, and $15,950 for clearing fees. We estimate
the total offering expenses of this offering that will be payable by us, including the cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of this offering payable to Wainwright, but excluding the other placement agent fees and expenses, will be
approximately $450,000. In addition, we have agreed to issue to Wainwright, or its designees, Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 109,091 ordinary shares, which represents 6.0% of the aggregate number of ordinary shares
purchased in this offering. The Placement Agent Warrants will have substantially the same terms as the ordinary warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price equal to $3.4375 per share, or 125% of the offering
price per share.
In addition, upon any exercise for cash of any ordinary warrants, we have agreed to pay the placement agent within five (5) business days of the receipt by us of the exercise
price (i) a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect thereto and (ii) a management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect thereto. Furthermore, upon any exercise for
cash of any ordinary warrants, we have agreed to issue to the placement agent, or its designees, within five (5) business days of our receipt of the exercise price, additional Placement Agent Warrants to purchase that number of ordinary shares
equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of such ordinary shares underlying such warrants that have been so exercised and such Placement Agent Warrants shall be in the same form and terms as the Placement Agent Warrants first described above.
Regulation M Restrictions
Wainwright may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the
sale of our securities offered hereby by it while acting as our exclusive placement agent might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, Wainwright would be required to comply with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases
and sales of our securities by Wainwright acting as exclusive placement agent. Under these rules and regulations, Wainwright may not (i) engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and (ii) bid for or purchase any of
our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until they have completed their participation in the distribution.
Listing
Our ordinary shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “LFWD.”
Lock-Up
Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement and subject to certain exceptions, we are prohibited from entering into any agreement to issue or announcing the

Furthermore, we are also prohibited from entering into any agreement to issue ordinary shares or any Ordinary Share Equivalent (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the securities

to act as our sole book-runner, sole manager, sole underwriter, sole placement agent, or sole agent for any further capital raising transactions undertaken by us using a manager, placement agent, or underwriter.
Tail
We also have granted Wainwright a tail cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds and Placement Agent Warrants to purchase ordinary shares equal to 6.0% of the aggregate
number of ordinary shares sold in any offering, within twelve months following the termination or expiration of the engagement letter agreement, to investors whom the placement agent contacted or introduced to us directly or indirectly in
connection with this offering, subject to certain exceptions.
We have agreed to indemnify Wainwright and specified other persons against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of Wainwright’s activities under the engagement letter
agreement and to contribute to payments that Wainwright may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
The engagement letter with Wainwright may be terminated for cause by us in compliance with FINRA rules. Otherwise, the engagement letter will terminate upon expiration of its
term.

Other Relationships
The placement agent and certain of its affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and
investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The placement agent and certain of its affiliates have in the past and may in the future
perform, various commercial and investment banking and financial advisory services for us and our affiliates, for which they have received and will receive customary fees and expenses. Wainwright acted as our placement agent in connection with
our previously disclosed registered direct offerings, best efforts public offerings, warrant exercises and private placements between February 2019 and September 2021.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the placement agent and certain of its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade
debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities
and/or instruments issued by us and our affiliates. If the placement agent or its affiliates have a lending relationship with us, they routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. The
placement agent and its affiliates may hedge such exposure by entering into transactions that consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities or the securities of our affiliates,
including potentially the securities offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the securities offered hereby. The placement agent and certain of its affiliates may also communicate independent
investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short
positions in such securities and instruments.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. It may be difficult to obtain service of process within the United States upon us, upon our directors and executive officers, a majority
of whom reside outside of the United States, and upon those Israeli experts named in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus who reside outside of the United States. Furthermore, because a majority of our assets and a majority
of our directors and executive officers are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us, certain of our directors and executive officers or the Israeli experts named herein may be difficult to
collect within the United States.
We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Goldfarb Seligman & Co., Tel Aviv, that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Israel.
Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine
that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Matters of procedure will also be
governed by Israeli law.
We have irrevocably appointed our subsidiary, Lifeward, Inc., which is incorporated in Delaware, as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any United States federal or
state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering. Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a non-appealable foreign judgment in a civil
matter, provided that, among other things:
|
• |
the judgment is obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the foreign state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel;
|
|
• |
the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment is rendered allows for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;
|
|
• |
adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence;
|
|
• |
the judgment is not contrary to the public policy of Israel, and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment is not likely to impair the security or sovereignty of Israel;
|
|
• |
the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;
|
|
• |
an action between the same parties in the same matter was not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit was instituted in the foreign court; and
|
|
• |
the judgment is enforceable according to the laws of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted.
|
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel.
Traditionally, in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency, the Israeli court issues 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 a per-annum statutory
rate of interest set on a quarterly basis by Israeli regulations. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates. The trend in recent years has increasingly been for Israeli courts to enforce a foreign judgment in the foreign
currency specified in the judgment, in which case there are also applicable rules regarding the payment of interest.
