Exhibits

 

14.Please tell us whether you intend to file the employment agreements with your executive officers and any material lease agreements and related amendments. See Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

 

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and respectively advise the Staff that we do not believe the agreements are required to be filed pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

 

With respect to the employment agreements, we do not believe that these agreements are required to be filed pursuant to 601(b)(10)(iii)(C)(5) of Regulation S-K, as “Any compensatory plan, contract or arrangement if the registrant is a foreign private issuer that furnishes compensatory information under Item 402(a)(1) (§ 229.402(a)(1)) and the public filing of the plan, contract or arrangement, or portion thereof, is not required in the registrant's home country and is not otherwise publicly disclosed by the registrant.” We also respectfully advise the Staff that we have not previously filed the employment agreements with the Israeli Securities Authority or the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, or otherwise.

 

With respect to the lease agreements, we do not believe that these agreements are required to be filed pursuant to 601(b)(10)(ii)(D) of Regulation S-K, as these agreements are not material to us in amount or significance, considering the monthly rent amounts and the relatively short terms of the agreements.

 

Furthermore, the material terms of the employment and lease agreements have been summarized in the Registration Statement in order to provide our shareholders with detailed information regarding these agreements. We believe the current disclosure adequately provides all information regarding the agreements that is material to us and our shareholders, and that filing the actual documents is not required and would not provide any additional material information to shareholders beyond the discussion in the Registration Statement.
