Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
As previously reported on a Form 8-K by Taboola.com Ltd. (“Taboola” or the “Company”) on April 17, 2023, the Company filed a motion with the Tel Aviv District Court Economic Department (the “Israeli court”) to extend the initial approval, issued by the Israeli court on November 16, 2021, of a program of up to $50,000,000, to be utilized, if so determined by its board of directors, in connection with a net issuance mechanism to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to equity-based compensation on behalf of its directors, officers and other employees and possible future share repurchases.

On May 28, 2023, the Israeli court approved the motion. The approval by the Israeli court is in effect through November 16, 2023. The Company expects to make successive requests to the Israeli court for similar approvals. On May 10, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $40,000,000.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the pending Israeli court approval and net issuance mechanism. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations. The Company’s current motion or any subsequent motions may not be approved for the full amount requested or at all.  The Company’s failure in whole or in part to obtain the current or any subsequent request for approval from the Israeli court could prevent or reduce the Company’s ability to obtain the potential benefits of net issuance for itself, its employees and its shareholders. Forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from our expectations expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including without limitation the important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2023 and our other SEC filings. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s estimates as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. While we may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we disclaim any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events cause our views to change, except as may be required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
