This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment No. 1”) of SuperCom Ltd. (the “Company”) to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File
No. 333-279147) (the “Registration Statement”), as originally filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 6, 2024 and as originally declared effective by the SEC on May 17, 2024, is being filed to update
the Registration Statement as follows: (i) to update certain information in the section captioned “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference” as required by the Form F-1 and its related instructions and make certain other related and
typographical changes, (ii) to update the Registration Statement for the Reverse Split (as defined below) and (iii) to update certain other information in the Registration Statement.
Effective August 22, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares (the “ordinary shares”). As a
result of the Reverse Split, every 20 shares of the pre-split issued and outstanding ordinary shares automatically converted into one post-split ordinary share, with a corresponding reduction of the number of ordinary shares that the Company is
authorized to issue. All fractional shares will be rounded up. As a result of the Reverse Split, all options, warrants and convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split were adjusted by dividing the number
of ordinary shares into which the options and warrants are exercisable and the convertible securities are convertible by 20 and multiplying the exercise price or the conversion price thereof by twenty, all in accordance with the terms of the plans,
agreements or arrangements governing such securities.
Accordingly, all ordinary share and per share data, par value and exercise price data for applicable ordinary share equivalents, included in this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1
have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split, unless otherwise indicated.
The information included in this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 amends the Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein. No additional securities are being
registered under this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of the Registration Statement on May 6, 2024.
The
information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an
offer to sell these securities, nor does it seek an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS, SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 11, 2024
SUPERCOM LTD.
1,143,599 Ordinary Shares
This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time of up to 1,143,599 ordinary shares (the “Shares”), par value NIS 50 per share (the
“ordinary shares”), consisting of 1,143,599 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants (the “Private Warrants”) held by the selling shareholders named herein (the “Selling Shareholders”).
The Selling Shareholders may offer the Shares from time to time directly or through underwriters, broker or dealers and in one or more
public or private transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at fixed prices, at negotiated prices, at various prices determined at the time of sale or at prices related to prevailing market prices, as further described herein. We
have agreed to bear all of the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Shares. If the Shares are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, the Selling Shareholders or purchasers of the Shares will be responsible for
underwriting discounts or commissions or agents’ commissions. The timing and amount of any sale is within the sole discretion of the Selling Shareholders.
We are not selling any ordinary shares and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders under
this prospectus. Upon the exercise of the Private Warrants for all 1,143,599 of our ordinary shares by payment of cash, however, we will receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10.15 million.
Our ordinary shares are listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SPCB.” On September 9, 2024, the last reported sale price of
our ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $2.83 per share.

Reference” and “Where You Can Find Additional Information,” carefully before you invest in any of our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Israeli Securities Authority nor any state securities commission has
approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Our Company
Founded in 1988, we are a global provider of traditional and digital identity solutions, advanced IoT and connectivity solutions, and cyber
security products and solutions, to governments and private and public organizations throughout the world.
We are comprised of three main Strategic Business Units (SBU): e-Gov, IoT and Connectivity, and Cyber Security:
e-Gov
Through our proprietary e-Government platforms and innovative solutions for traditional and biometrics enrollment, personalization,
issuance and border control services, we have helped governments and national agencies design and issue secured multi-identification, or Multi-ID, documents and robust digital identity solutions to their citizens, visitors and Lands.
We have focused on expanding our activities in the traditional identification, or ID, and electronic identification, or e-Gov, market,
including the design, development and marketing of identification technologies and solutions to governments in Europe, Asia, America and Africa using our e-Government platforms. Our activities include: (i) utilizing paper secured by different levels
of security patterns (UV, holograms, etc.); and (ii) electronic identification secured by biometric data, principally in connection with the issuance of national Multi-ID documents (IDs, passports, driver’s licenses, vehicle permits, and visas,
Secure Land Certificated) border control applications and Land Information System (LIS).
IoT and Connectivity
Our IoT products and solutions reliably identify, track and monitor people or objects in real time, enabling our customers to detect
unauthorized movement of people, vehicles and other monitored objects. We provide all-in-one field proven IoT suite, accompanied with services specifically tailored to meet the requirements of an IoT solutions. Our proprietary IoT suite of hybrid
hardware, connectivity and software components are the foundation of these solutions and services. Our IoT division has primarily focused on growing the following markets: (i) public safety; (ii) healthcare and homecare; (iii) Smart Cities; (iv)
Smart Campus and (iv) transportation.
During 2006, we identified the growing electronic tracking and monitoring vertical markets for public safety, real time healthcare and
homecare, and transportation management. We have developed the PureRF Hybrid suit of wrist devices, connectivity, and controlling software, from 2012 we have developed the next generation IoT suite of devices, connectivity and Monitoring software;
the PureSecurity Hybrid Suite of wrist band, tags, beacons, PureCom, Pure Monitors, PureTrack and other components.
On January 1, 2016 we acquired Leaders in Community Alternatives, Inc., or LCA. LCA is a California based, private criminal justice
organization, providing community-based services and electronic monitoring programs to government agencies in the U.S. for more than 25 years. LCA offers a broad range of competitive solutions for governmental institutions across the U.S. in
addressing realignment strategies and plans.
Connectivity
In 2016, as part of our strategy to enhance and broaden our IoT connectivity products and solutions offerings for public safety,
enterprises, hospitality and smart cities markets, on May 18, 2016, we acquired Alvarion Technologies Ltd., or Alvarion. Alvarion designs solutions for carrier wi-fi, enterprise connectivity, smart city, smart hospitality, connected campuses and
connected events that are both complete and heterogeneous to ensure ease-of-use and optimize operational efficiency. Carriers, local governments and hospitality sectors worldwide deploy Alvarion’s intelligent wi-fi networks to enhance productivity
and performance, as well as its legacy backhaul services and products.
Cyber Security
During 2015, we identified the cyber security market as a very fast growing market where we believe that SuperCom has major advantages due
to synergic technologies and shared customer base to our e-Gov, IoT and connectivity SBUs. In 2015, we acquired Prevision Ltd., or Prevision, a company with a strong presence in the market and a broad range of competitive and well-known cyber
security services. During the first quarter of 2016, we acquired Safend Ltd, or Safend, an international provider of cutting edge endpoint data protection guarding against corporate data loss and theft through content discovery and inspection,
encryption methodologies, and comprehensive device and port control. Safend maps sensitive information and controls data flow through email, web, external devices and additional channels.
Both acquisitions significantly expanded the breadth of our cyber security capabilities globally, while providing us with outstanding
market and technological experts and over 3,000 customers in the United States, Europe, and Asia, and more than three million software license seats deployed by multinational enterprises, government agencies and small to mid-size companies around the
globe, together with leading data and cyber security platforms and technologies.

agreement or other document are summaries of such contracts, agreements or documents and are not complete descriptions of all their terms. If we filed any of these documents as an exhibit to this Registration Statement or to any previous filing with
SEC, you may read the document itself for a complete recitation of its terms.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be
adversely affected by any of these risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only
ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends
should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, business prospects, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price
of our ordinary shares, with a par value NIS 50 per share (the “ordinary shares”), to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section below entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements.”
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since those published in our Annual Report on Form
20-F/A, Amendment No. 1, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2024.
Risks Related to This Offering
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 the price of our ordinary shares.
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 share in this offering. We may not be
able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by the investor in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could
have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional ordinary shares or securities convertible into ordinary shares in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. You will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of ordinary shares under our stock incentive programs. In addition, the sale of the Shares in this offering and any future sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our ordinary shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of ordinary shares or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our ordinary shares.
Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our
ordinary shares and penny stock trading.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet all of the criteria necessary for Nasdaq to allow us to remain listed.
If we fail to satisfy the applicable continued listing requirement and be in non-compliance after notice and the applicable grace period ends, Nasdaq may commence delisting procedures against our Company (during which we may have additional time of
up to six months to appeal and correct our non-compliance).
If our ordinary shares are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq, our ordinary shares would likely then trade only in the over-the-counter market
and the market liquidity of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected and their market price could decrease. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our ordinary shares could be more difficult because
smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; reduced liquidity
with respect to our securities; a determination that our shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our securities to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary
trading market for our securities; a reduced amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company; and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. These factors could result in lower prices and
larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our ordinary shares and would substantially impair our ability to raise additional funds and could result in a loss of institutional investor interest and fewer development opportunities for us.
In addition to the foregoing, if our ordinary shares are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq and they trade on the over-the-counter market, the
application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares and increase the transaction costs to sell those shares. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” as an equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. If our ordinary shares are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq and then trade on the over-the-counter market at a price of less than $5.00 per share, our
ordinary shares would be considered a penny stock. The SEC’s penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides
information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and the salesperson in the
transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that before a transaction in a penny stock occurs, the broker-dealer must
make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s agreement to the transaction. If applicable in the future, these rules may restrict the ability of brokers-dealers to
sell our ordinary shares and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares, until our ordinary shares no longer are considered a penny stock.
Our share price may be volatile, which could prevent you from being able to sell your shares at or
above your purchase price.
The market price of our ordinary shares has been and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many
risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:
|
• |
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or those of our competitors;
|
|
• |
announcements by us or our competitors of technological innovations or new and enhanced products;
|
|
• |
developments or disputes concerning proprietary rights;
|
|
• |
introduction and adoption of new industry standards;
|
|
• |
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
|
|
• |
market conditions or trends in our industry;
|
|
• |
changes in the market valuations of our competitors;
|
|
• |
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions;
|
|
• |
entry into strategic partnerships or joint ventures by us or our competitors;
|
|
• |
failing to meet in the financial projection or guidance;
|
|
• |
political and economic conditions, such as a recession or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations or political events;
|
|
• |
other events or factors in any of the countries in which we do business, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, natural disasters or responses to such event; and
|
|
• |
general economic and market conditions.
|
The stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of
equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market
conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our ordinary shares and could subject us to securities class action litigation.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable
research about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our ordinary shares will depend on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or
our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. There can be no assurance that analysts will cover us or provide favorable coverage. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or change their opinion of our stock,
our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to
decline.
Provisions in our corporate charter documents could make an acquisition of our Company, which may be
beneficial to our shareholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions in our corporate charter documents may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our
Company that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your ordinary shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of our ordinary shares, thereby depressing the market price of our ordinary shares. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any
attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for shareholders to replace members of our board of directors. Among other things, these provisions provide that:
|
• |
the authorized number of directors can be changed only by resolution of our board of directors;
|
|
• |
our Articles of Association may be amended or repealed by our shareholders;
|
|
• |
our shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights, and therefore our shareholders holding a majority of our ordinary shares outstanding will be able to elect all of our directors;
|
|
• |
business before or nominate directors for election at a shareholder meeting.
|
We may be subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
Recent technological advances in AI and machine learning technology may pose risks to us. Our use of AI could give rise to legal or regulatory action, create liabilities, or
materially harm our business. While we aim to develop and use AI and machine learning technology responsibly and attempt to mitigate ethical and legal issues presented by its use, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in identifying or resolving issues
before they arise. Further, as the technology is rapidly evolving, costs and obligations could be imposed on us to comply with new regulations.
We also could be exposed to the risks of machine learning technology if third-party service providers or any counterparties, whether or not known to us, also use machine learning
technology in their business activities. We will not be in a position to control the use of such technology in third-party products or services. Use by third-party service providers could give rise to issues pertaining to data privacy, data
protection, and intellectual property considerations.
Increased data protection regulation may result in increased complexities and risk in connection with the operation of our business and our
products.
Our business is highly dependent on information systems and technology. The costs related to cyber or other security threats or disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnified
by other means. Cybersecurity has become a priority for regulators in the U.S. and around the world. Recently, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K and periodic disclosure of a
registrant’s cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance in annual reports. While the new rules became effective beginning with annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2023, and beginning with Form 8-Ks on
December 18, 2023, these new rules are not applicable to our Company because we are a foreign private issuer. The SEC has also particularly focused on cybersecurity, and we expect increased scrutiny of our policies and systems designed to manage our
cybersecurity risks and our related disclosures as a result. We also expect to face increased costs to comply with the new SEC rules, including increased costs for cybersecurity training and management. The SEC has indicated in recent periods that
one of its examination priorities for the Division of Examinations is to continue to examine cybersecurity procedures and controls, including testing the implementation of these procedures and controls.
There may be substantial financial penalties or fines for breach of privacy laws (which may include insufficient security for our personal or other sensitive information).
Non-compliance with any applicable privacy or data security laws represents a serious risk to our business. Some jurisdictions have also enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of
personal information. Breaches in security could potentially jeopardize our or our stockholders’ or counterparties’ confidential or other information processed and stored in, or transmitted through, our computer systems and networks (or those of our
third-party vendors), or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our or our stockholders’ or our counterparties’ or third parties’ operations, which could result in significant losses, increased costs, disruption of our business, liability
to our stockholders and other counterparties, fines or penalties, litigation, regulatory intervention or reputational damage, which could also lead to loss of stockholders.
Finally, there has been significant evolution and developments in the use of AI technologies. We cannot fully determine the impact or cybersecurity risk of such evolving technology
to our business at this time.
If we do not respond to technological innovations or changes or upgrade our technology systems, our growth prospects and results of
operations could be adversely affected.
To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the functionality, features and security of our technology infrastructure. Infrastructure upgrades may require
significant capital investment outside of the normal course of business. In the future, we will likely need to improve and upgrade our technology, database systems and network infrastructure to allow our business to grow in both size and scope.
Without such improvements, our operations might suffer from unanticipated system disruptions, slow performance or unreliable service levels, any of which could negatively affect our ability to provide rapid customer service. We may face significant
delays in introducing new services or developing new technologies. Moreover, if we do not keep pace with the rapid innovations and changes taking place in information technology in our industry, we could be at a competitive disadvantage. Further, the
rapid dissemination and increasing transparency of information, particularly for public companies, increases the risks to our business that could result from negative media or announcements about ethics lapses, improper behavior or other operational
problems, which could lead clients to terminate or reduce their relationships with us. If competitors introduce new products and services using new technologies, our proprietary technology and systems may become less competitive, and our business may
be harmed. In addition, the expansion and improvement of our systems and infrastructure may require us to commit substantial financial, operational and technical resources, with no assurance that our business will improve.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and
all of the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by these risks.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results,

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders. However, to the extent that the Private
Warrants (as defined herein under “Selling Shareholder”) are exercised for cash, we will receive proceeds up to an aggregate of $10.15 million. We intend to use any cash proceeds received from exercise of the Private Warrants for working capital,
acquisitions, debt servicing and other general corporate purposes.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future
earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend
on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd.
February 2022 Registered Direct Public Offering
We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 25, 2022 (the “February 2022 Purchase Agreement”), with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (“Armistice”) pursuant to
which we issued to Armistice, in a registered direct public offering, an aggregate of 15,650 of our ordinary shares (the “2022 Shares”) and 22,008 pre-funded warrants to purchase ordinary shares (the “2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants”) with an
exercise price of $0.002 per share, which such 2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants were to be issued in lieu of the 2022 Shares to ensure that Armistice does not exceed certain beneficial ownership limitations (collectively, the “2022 Registered
Offering”). The negotiated combined purchase price for one 2022 Share and one 2022 Private Warrant (as defined below) to purchase 0.075 ordinary shares was $123.48 and the combined purchase price for 0.1 2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrant and 0.1
2022 Original Private Warrant was $123.48. The 2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.002 per share. The 2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time after their original
issuance until the 2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The 2022 Shares and 2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants (and the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants) were offered by us
pursuant to our currently effective shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-261442), which was declared effective by the SEC on December 27, 2021 (the “Form F-3”), and related prospectus supplement for the 2022 Registered Offering,
which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022. The 2022 Registered Offering was completed on March 1, 2022 (the “2022 Closing Date”), and Armistice subsequently exercised the 2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants in full.
In a concurrent private placement, we also issued to Armistice warrants to purchase an aggregate of 28,244 of our ordinary shares with an exercise price of $140.0 per share (the
“2022 Private Warrants” and together with the 2022 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants, the “2022 Warrants). The 2022 Private Warrants were originally exercisable beginning on the six-month anniversary of the 2022 Closing Date and were to expire five
years and six months following the Closing Date. If after the six month anniversary of the issuance date there was no effective registration statement registering the resale of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the 2022 Private Warrants
then the 2022 Private Warrants would have been also exercisable on a cashless basis. The exercise price of the 2022 Private Warrant and the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2022 Private Warrants (the “2022 Warrant Shares”) were
subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, recapitalization, or reorganization, as described in the 2022 Private Warrants. The 2022 Private Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of
such warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2022, between our Company and Armistice, we agreed to file a registration statement (the “2022 Registration
Statement”) to register the resale of the 2022 Warrant Shares within 90 days of the date of the 2022 Purchase Agreement and to obtain effectiveness of the 2022 Registration Statement within 150 days following the date of the 2022 Purchase Agreement
(or 180 days in the event of a full review by the SEC). The 2022 Private Warrants and the 2022 Warrant Shares were registered pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-265293), which we filed with the SEC on May 27, 2022 under
the Securities Act, and which the SEC declared effective on June 8, 2022.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Purchase Agreement, we agreed to certain restrictions on future stock offerings, including that, until 60 days following the Closing Date, we
would not issue (or enter into any agreement to issue) any ordinary shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to certain exceptions, and would not file any registration statements, subject to certain
exceptions.
Maxim Group LLC acted as the sole placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) on a “best efforts” basis in connection with the 2022 Registered Offering. The Placement Agent was paid a
cash fee of 6% of the gross proceeds that we received in the 2022 Registered Offering and was reimbursed certain of its out-of-pocket expenses.
July 2022 Warrants Modification
On July 27, 2022, we entered into a letter agreement (the “2022 Agreement”) with Armistice, which provided that, commencing immediately following the full execution of the 2022
Agreement and the delivery to Armistice of a prospectus supplement relating to the impact of the Agreement on the 2022 Private Warrants and ending at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on July 27, 2022 (the “2022 Modified Exercise Price Term”), the exercise
price per share for the 2022 Private Warrants was lowered to $61.6 but only with respect to a cash exercise under Section 1(a) of the 2022 Private Warrants, and that the 2022 Private Warrants then became immediately exercisable during the 2022
Modified Exercise Price Term. In addition, we and Armistice agreed that if and only if Armistice exercised for cash all of the 2022 Private Warrants, as amended pursuant to the Agreement, during the 2022 Modified Exercise Price Term, generating gross
proceeds of approximately $1.74 million to us, we would issue to Armistice new private warrants (the “2022 New Private Warrants”) to purchase up to 100% of the number of our ordinary shares issued to Armistice pursuant to the cash exercise of the
2022 New Private Warrants during the 2022 Modified Exercise Price Term. As a result of Armistice’s cash exercise of the 2022 Private Warrants in full, on or about July 27, 2022, we issued to Armistice the 2022 New Private Warrants to purchase up to
7,589 of our ordinary shares. The 2022 New Private Warrants were exercisable with an exercise price per ordinary share of $640 commencing 60 days after the issuance date and will terminate on July 27, 2029. In connection with the closing of the 2022
Registered Offering, we amended the remaining 2022 New Private Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,825 ordinary shares to have an exercise price of $332 per share.
The 2022 New Private Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the 2022 New Private Warrants were not registered under the Securities Act, and were offered
pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Agreement, we agreed (i) to file a registration statement (the “2022 Second Registration Statement”) to register the resale of our ordinary shares
underlying the 2022 New Private Warrants within 60 days of the date of the 2022 Agreement and to obtain effectiveness of the 2022 Second Registration Statement within 120 days following the date of the Agreement, and (ii) that until 45 days following
the date of the Agreement, we would not issue (or enter into any agreement to issue) any ordinary shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents (as defined in the Agreement), subject to certain exceptions, and would not file any registration statements,
subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the ordinary shares underlying the 2022 New Warrant Shares were registered pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-267123), filed with the SEC on August 26, 2022 under the
Securities Act, and which was declared effective by the SEC on September 22, 2022.
The Placement Agent acted as the exclusive warrant inducement agent and financial advisor to us in connection with the warrants modification transaction described above. We paid
the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received by us.
March 2023 Registered Direct Public Offering
We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 30, 2023 (the “March 2023 Purchase Agreement”), with Armistice pursuant to
which we issued to Armistice, in a registered direct public offering, an aggregate of 24,250 of our ordinary shares (the “March 2023 Shares”) and 51,631 pre-funded warrants to purchase our ordinary shares (the “March 2023 Registered Pre-Funded
Warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.0002 per share, which such March 2023 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants were to be issued in lieu of the March 2023 Shares to ensure that Armistice does not exceed certain beneficial ownership limitations
(collectively, the “March 2023 Offering”). The negotiated combined purchase price for one March 2023 Share and one March 2023 Private Warrant (as defined below) to purchase one ordinary share was $32 and the combined purchase price for one March 2023
Registered Pre-Funded Warrant and one March 2023 Private Warrant was $31.9998. The March Registered Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0002 per share. The March Registered Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable and may be
exercised at any time after their original issuance until the March Registered Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The March 2023 Shares and March 2023 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants (and the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the
March 2023 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants) were offered by us pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form F-3 and related prospectus supplement for the March 2023 Offering, which was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023. The March 2023 Offering
was completed on March 31, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), and Armistice subsequently exercised the March 2023 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants in full.
In a concurrent private placement, we also issued to Armistice warrants to purchase an aggregate of 75,881 of our ordinary shares with an
exercise price of $33.2 per share (the “March 2023 Private Warrants” and together with the March 2023 Registered Pre-Funded Warrants, the “March 2023 Warrants”). The March 2023 Private Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire five years
following the Closing Date. If after the six month anniversary of the issuance date there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the March 2023 Private Warrants then the March
2023 Private Warrants would also be exercisable on a cashless basis. The exercise price of the March 2023 Private Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the March 2023 Private Warrants (the “March 2023 Warrant Shares”) are
subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, recapitalization, or reorganization, as described in the March 2023 Private Warrants. The March 2023 Private Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon
exercise of such warrants were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2023, that we entered into with Armistice, we agreed to file a
registration statement (the “2023 Registration Statement”) to register the resale of the March 2023 Warrant Shares within 45 days of the date of the March 2023 Purchase Agreement and to obtain effectiveness of the 2023 Registration Statement within
75 days following the date of the March 2023 Purchase Agreement (or 120 days in the event of a full review by the SEC). Accordingly, we filed the 2023 Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-271939) to register the March 2023 Warrant Shares,
which was declared effective by the SEC on May 26, 2023.
Pursuant to the terms of the March 2023 Purchase Agreement, we agreed to certain restrictions on future stock offerings, including that,
until 60 days following the closing date, we would not issue (or enter into any agreement to issue) any ordinary shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents (as defined in the March 2023 Purchase Agreement), subject to certain exceptions, and will not file
any registration statements, subject to certain exceptions.
The Placement Agent acted as the sole placement agent on a “best efforts” basis, in connection with the March 2023 Offering. The Placement
Agent was paid a cash fee of 6% of the gross proceeds that we received in the March 2023 Offering and was reimbursed certain of its out-of-pocket expenses.
August 2023 Registered Direct Public Offering
On August 3, 2023, we consummated a public offering (the “August 2023 Offering”) of an aggregate of 161,765 units (the “August 2023 Units”)
at a public offering price of $17 per August 2023 Unit, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $2.75 million. Each August 2023 Unit consisted of (i) one ordinary share or one pre-funded warrant to purchase one ordinary share
(the “August 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.0002 per share, which such August 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants issued in lieu of ordinary shares to ensure that any purchaser in the August 2023 Offering does not exceed certain
beneficial ownership limitations, and (ii) one warrant to purchase one ordinary share (the “August 2023 Warrants”) exercisable from time to time with an exercise price of $17 per share. The August 2023 Warrants were immediately exercisable and will

Warrants included in each August 2023 Unit were issued separately. The August 2023 Units have no stand-alone rights and were not issued or certificated.
In connection with the August 2023 Offering, on August 2, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “August 2023 Purchase

Also in connection with the August 2023 Offering, on August 2, 2023, we entered into a placement agent agreement with the Placement Agent,

2023 Offering. We reimbursed the Placement Agent for its expenses in connection with the August 2023 Offering.
We filed a Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “August 2023 Registration Statement”) relating to the August 2023 Offering (File No.
333-273291) with the SEC on July 17, 2023, and it was declared effective by the SEC on August 2, 2023. The August 2023 Offering was made by means of a prospectus forming a part of the effective August 2023 Registration Statement.
In connection with the August 2023 Offering, we also entered into a warrant amendment agreement (the “August 2023 Warrant Amendment”) with
Armistice. Under the August 2023 Warrant Amendment, we agreed to amend the then outstanding 2022 Private Warrants and March 2023 Private Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 104,125 of our ordinary shares, to reduce the exercise price of the such
warrants to $17 per share, and to extend the termination date of such warrants to August 3, 2028.
November 2023 Letter Agreement
On November 14, 2023, we entered into a letter agreement (the “November 2023 Warrant Agreement”) with Armistice, pursuant to which
commencing immediately following the full execution of the November 2023 Warrant Agreement and the delivery to Armistice of a prospectus supplement relating to the impact of the November 2023 Warrant Agreement on the March 2023 Private Warrants and
the August 2023 Warrants (collectively, the “2023 Original Warrants”) and ending at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on November 15, 2023 (the “Modified Exercise Price Term”), the exercise price per share for the 2023 Original Warrants would equal to $8.4 but
only with respect to a cash exercise under Section 2(a) of each 2023 Original Warrant. In addition, we and Armistice agreed that if and only if Armistice exercises for cash all of the 2023 Original Warrants as amended pursuant to the November 2023
Warrant Agreement during the Modified Exercise Price Term, generating gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million to us, we will issue to Armistice new warrants (the “November 2023 Private Warrants”) to purchase up to 200% of the number of our
ordinary shares issued to Armistice pursuant to the exercise of the 2023 Original Warrants during the Modified Exercise Price Term. As a result of the full exercise of the 2023 Original Warrants on the modified terms summarized above, on November 15,
2023, we issued the November 2023 Private Warrants to the Selling Shareholder to purchase 475,291 of our ordinary shares. The November 2023 Private Warrants are exercisable commencing 60 days after November 15, 2023 and will terminate on the date
that is five years and six months following the issuance date. The November 2023 Private Warrants have an exercise price per ordinary share of $10. The November 2023 Private Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the November 2023
Private Warrants were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
Pursuant to the terms of the November 2023 Warrant Agreement, we agreed (i) to file a registration statement to register the resale of the

and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto. Accordingly, we filed this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to register the 475,291 of our ordinary shares underlying the November 2023 Private
Warrants.
The Placement Agent acted as the exclusive warrant inducement agent and financial advisor to us connection with the November 2023 Warrant
Agreement transaction. We paid the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds received by us in the November 2023 Warrant Agreement transaction.
April 2024 Warrant Issuance Agreement
On April 16, 2024, we entered into a Warrant Issuance Agreement (the “2024 Warrant Issuance Agreement”) with Armistice pursuant to which we issued a private warrant (the “April

April 2024 Registered Direct Public Offering
On April 18, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, (the “April 2024 Purchase Agreement”), with Armistice pursuant to which we issued to Armistice, in a registered

April 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants to be issued in lieu of our ordinary shares to ensure that Armistice does not exceed certain beneficial ownership limitations (collectively, the “April 2024 Offering”). The April 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately
exercisable and may be exercised at any time after their original issuance until the April 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The April 2024 Shares and the April 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants (and the ordinary shares issuable upon the

the time of exercise of the April 2024 RD Warrants there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of our ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the April 2024 RD Private Warrants then the April 2024 RD Private Warrants shall
be also exercisable on a cashless basis. The exercise price of the April 2024 RD Private Warrants and our ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the April 2024 RD Private Warrants (the “April 2024 RD Warrant Shares”) will be subject to

Shareholder’s ownership of our ordinary shares and our various warrants held by such Selling Shareholder (collectively, the “Registrable Warrants”), as of September 2, 2024, assuming exercise of all of the Registrable Warrants held by the respective
Selling Shareholder on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.
The fourth column lists our ordinary shares being offered by this prospectus by the respective Selling Shareholder.
In accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement with the respective Selling Shareholder, this prospectus generally covers the
resale of the maximum number of our ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Registrable Warrants held by the respective Selling Shareholder, determined as if the outstanding Registrable Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day
immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the Agreement, without
regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Registrable Warrants. The fourth and fifth columns assume the sale of all of our ordinary shares offered by the respective Selling Shareholder pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the applicable Registrable Warrants, the respective Selling Shareholder may not exercise its Registrable Warrants to the
extent such exercise would cause such Selling Shareholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of our ordinary shares which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding ordinary
shares following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Registrable Warrants held by such Selling Shareholder which have not been exercised. The number of our ordinary shares in the
second, third and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The Selling Shareholders may sell all, some or none of our ordinary shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Each Selling Shareholder and any of its respective pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all
of such Selling Shareholder’s securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated
prices. Each Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
|
• |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
• |
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
• |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
• |
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
• |
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
• |
settlement of short sales;
|
|
• |
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with such Selling Shareholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
|
|
• |
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
• |
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
|
|
• |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
Each Selling Shareholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if
available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by a Selling Shareholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from a Selling Shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of
an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, each Selling Shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. Each Selling Shareholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to
close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. Each Selling Shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker- dealers or other financial institutions
or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell
pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
Each Selling Shareholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify
Armistice against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by Armistice without
registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of
similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the
registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Registrable Warrants or our ordinary shares underlying such warrants for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the
distribution. In addition, each Selling Shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the ordinary
shares by such Selling Shareholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of
the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
There can be no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will sell any or all of our ordinary shares underlying their respective Registrable
Warrants registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
We are not aware of any plans, arrangements or understandings between the Selling Shareholders and any other underwriter, broker-dealer or
agent regarding the sale of our ordinary shares underlying the applicable Registrable Warrants held by the respective Selling Shareholder.
We will pay all expenses incident to the filing of this registration statement. These expenses include accounting and legal fees in
connection with the preparation of the registration statement of which this prospectus form a part, legal and other fees in connection with the qualification of the sale of the shares under the laws of certain states (if any), registration and filing
fees and other expenses.

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.
It may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a
claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable
to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a United States judgment in a civil matter which,
subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that:
|
• |
the judgments are obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel;
|
|
• |
the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgments were rendered allows the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (however, the Israeli courts may waive this requirement following a request by the attorney general);
|
|
• |
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 judgments are not contrary to public policy, and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment does not impair the security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
|
|
• |
the judgments were not obtained by fraud and do 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 is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court; and
|
|
• |
the obligations under the judgment are enforceable according to the laws of the State of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted.
|
We have irrevocably appointed SuperCom, Inc. 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.
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.
PART II – INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Exculpation of Office Holders
Under the Israeli Companies Law (“Companies Law”), an Israeli company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for breach of his
duty of loyalty, but may exculpate in advance an office holder from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for a breach of his duty of care, provided the articles of association of the company allow it to do so. Our Articles of Association
allow us to exculpate our office holders from liability towards us for breach of duty of care to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Office Holder Insurance
Our Articles of Association provide that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, we may enter into a contract for the insurance of
the liability of any of our office holders for any act done by him or her by virtue of being an office holder, in respect of any of the following:
|
• |
a breach of duty of care towards us or any other person;
|
|
• |
a breach of fiduciary obligations towards us, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that his or her act would not be to our detriment;
|
|
• |
a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person; or
|
|
• |
any other event for which insurance of an office holder is or may be permitted.
|
Indemnification of Office Holders
Our Articles of Association provide that we may indemnify an office holder for the following cases of liability and expenses incurred by
him or her as a result of an act done by him or her by virtue of being an office holder:
|
• |
financial liability imposed upon said office holder in favor of another person by virtue of a decision by a court of law, including a decision by way of settlement or a decision in arbitration which has been confirmed by a court of law;
|
|
• |
reasonable expenses of the proceedings, including lawyers’ fees, expended by the office holder or imposed on him by the court for:
|
|
(1) |
proceedings issued against him by or on behalf of our company or by a third party;
|
|
(2) |
criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted;
|
|
(3) |
criminal proceedings in which he was convicted in an offense, which did not require proof of criminal intent; or
|
|
(4) |
any other liability or expense for which the indemnification of an officer holder is not precluded by law.
|
We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of our office holders. In addition, we have granted
indemnification letters to our office holders.
Limitations on Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification
The Companies Law provides that a company may not exculpate or indemnify an office holder, or enter into an insurance contract, which would
provide coverage for any monetary liability incurred as a result of any of the following:
|
• |
a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of loyalty towards the company unless, with respect to insurance coverage, the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the
company;
|
|
• |
a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of care if the breach was done intentionally or recklessly;
|
|
• |
any act or omission done with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or
|
|
• |
any fine levied against the office holder.
|
Required Approvals
In addition, under the Companies Law, any exculpation of, indemnification of, or procurement of insurance coverage for, our office holders
must be approved by our audit committee and our board of directors and, if the beneficiary is a director, an additional approval by our shareholders is required.

by virtue of Sections 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions not involving any public offering. All of the purchasers of unregistered securities for which we relied on Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D represented that
they were accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act. We claimed such exemption on the basis that (i) the purchasers in each case represented that they intended to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to the
distribution thereof and that they either received adequate information about the registrant or had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information and (ii) appropriate legends were affixed to the share or warrant certificates
issued in such transactions.

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 (the “Securities Act”);
(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;
Provided, however, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in 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 registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C
(§230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A
(§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability 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 (§230.424 of this chapter);
(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, 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) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of
the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the
underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(e) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the registrant will treat 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 under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the
Commission declared it effective.
(f) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
