This Registration Statement is being filed to register an additional 1,892,556 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.015 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), of Tufin Software Technologies Ltd. (the “Registrant,” “we,” “our” or “us”) issuable pursuant to the Tufin Software Technologies Ltd. 2019 Equity-Based Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), representing an automatic annual increase effective as of January 1, 2022 pursuant to the 2019 Plan.

 

Pursuant to Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of our prior registration statements on Forms S-8 (File Nos. 333-231985, 333-237291 and 333-253994) are incorporated herein by reference, and the information required by Part II is omitted, except as supplemented by the information set forth below.

 

On June 6, 2019, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-231985) registering, among others, 2,646,848 Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the 2019 Plan. On March 20, 2020, we filed with the Commission an additional registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-237291) registering 1,761,512 Ordinary Shares, which represented an automatic annual increase effective as of January 1, 2020 pursuant to the 2019 Plan.

The 2019 Plan provides that the number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance under the 2019 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year during the term of the 2019 Plan by the lesser of (i) an amount determined by our board of directors, if so determined prior to the January 1 of the calendar year in which the increase will occur, (ii) 5% of the total number of shares outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year and (iii) 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares.
