PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

DATED JULY 12, 2024

 

1,562,500 Ordinary Shares

 

 

 

 

Silynxcom Ltd.

 

This is a firm commitment public offering of 1,562,500 ordinary shares, no par value, or the Ordinary Shares, of Silynxcom Ltd.

 

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the NYSE American LLC, or the NYSE American, under the symbol “SYNX”. We have assumed a public offering price of $3.20 per Ordinary Share, which was the last closing price on the NYSE American of our Ordinary Shares on July 9, 2024. The actual offering price will be determined between us and the underwriters at the time of pricing and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the assumed public offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicate of the final offering price.

 

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and a “foreign private issuer”, as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

We are a “controlled company” as defined under the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999, or the Companies Law. Before this offering, Mr. Nir Klein and Mr. Ron Klein owned 55.05% of the total voting power of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Upon the completion of this offering, Mr. Nir Klein and Mr. Ron Klein will no longer own most of the total voting power of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result, we will no longer be a “controlled company” under the NYSE American rules. To date, we have decided not to avail ourselves of “controlled company” exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements as permitted under NYSE American rules and, therefore, we will have no additional corporate governance requirements with which to comply as a result of the loss of our “controlled company” status under NYSE American rules.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8.

 

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

We have granted the underwriters an option for a period of up to 45 days to purchase from us, at the public offering price, up to 234,375 additional Ordinary Shares, less underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

The underwriters expect to deliver the Ordinary Shares on or about       , 2024.

This prospectus includes statistical, market and industry data and forecasts which we obtained from publicly available information and independent industry publications and reports that we believe to be reliable sources. These publicly available industry publications and reports generally state that they obtain their information from sources that they believe to be reliable, but they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. Although we believe that these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information contained in such publications. While we believe the estimated market position, market opportunity and market size information included in this prospectus is generally reliable, such information, which is derived in part from management’s estimates and beliefs, is inherently uncertain and imprecise. Other market data and industry information is based on management’s knowledge of the industry and good faith estimates of management. All of the market data, panel data and industry information used in this prospectus involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our estimates and beliefs and in the estimates prepared by independent parties.

Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Summary Consolidated Financial Information” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the other information incorporated by reference herein.

 

Our Company

 

We develop, manufacture, and sell ruggedized tactical communication headset devices as well as other communication accessories, all of which have been field-tested and combat proven. Our in-ear headset devices, or In-Ear Headsets, are used in combat, the battlefield, riot control, demonstrations, weapons training courses, and factory floors. Our In-Ear Headsets seamlessly integrate with third party manufacturers of professional-grade ruggedized radios that are used by soldiers in combat or police officers in riot situations. Our In-Ear Headsets also fit tightly into the protective gear to enable users to speak and hear clearly and precisely while they are protected from the hazardous sounds of combat, riots, dangerous situations and machine equipment in factories. Our sleek, lightweight, In-Ear Headsets include active sound protection to eliminate unsafe sounds, while maintaining ambient environmental awareness, giving our customers 360° situational awareness.

 

We sell our In-Ear Headsets and communication accessories directly to military forces, police and other law enforcement units around the world. We also sell indirectly, through a specialized network of local distributors in each geography in which we operate, as well as through key strategic partnerships with radio equipment manufacturers. Our direct sales are generally conducted through government-run official tender processes. Our indirect sales are conducted through our distributor network, specialized agents, and strategic original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs. Our distributor network has grown by 12 times from 2020 to 2023. Our primary markets are currently in Israel, Europe, Asia and the United States and we intend to expand our sales, marketing and distribution network into new markets such as Southeast Asia and Latin America.

 

The key driving factors in the growth of our business has been the recent growth in the In-Ear Headset subsegment of the Personal Headset Device market, coupled with our unique ergonomic design and technology which enables users to both speak and hear clearly and precisely. In addition, we also develop, market and sell push-to-talk devices, communication controllers, and communication device cables and connectors. Our products are designed to be compatible with other products that we offer and compatible with other third-party communication products available in the market that are used by our customers.

 

Our revenue streams originate from a range of customers. Due to the conflicts involving Israel as of the date of this prospectus, demand for our products from the Israel Defense Forces has increased significantly.

 

We are continuously engaged in the research and development of new and improved iterations of our products, technology and external and internal integration thereof.

Recent Developments and Business Updates

 

Key Orders

 

In February 2024, we announced that we had received our first North American order for our software-defined radio headset to a world-leading U.S.-based defense industry OEM amounting to $67,000. In February 2024, we announced that we received a repeat order from a military customer for our Clarus In-Ear Headsets amounting to $280,000. In March 2024, we announced that we had received our first order of our new In-Ear Headset system designed for law enforcement organizations that uses terrestrial trunked radio, or TETRA, based and Project 25 communication systems. In March 2024, we announced that we had delivered an order for a special forces military unit in the Asia-Pacific region. In May 2024, we announced that we had received an order for our TETRA system from a European police department. In June 2024, we announced that we signed distribution agreements with three Asian distributors and one European distributor. In June 2024, we announced that we had received five orders from U.S. federal and state law enforcement units. In July 2024, we announced that we had received orders amounting to $500,000 from the Israel Defense Forces for our advanced military headset system family or products.

 

Key Innovations and Partnerships

 

In February 2024, we unveiled our new specially fitted In-Ear Headset for military dogs helps to protect hearing and facilitate immediate and clear communication from dog handlers. In February 2024, we introduced a special type of dongle, a new encrypted wireless tactical communication product. In April 2024, we announced that we had entered into an agreement to expand the mutual conversion distributor agreement with 3M™ PELTOR™, or Peltor, to include Peltor’s ComTac™ VIII Headset.

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

In order to increase our market share in the high-growth In-Ear Headset segment that we operate in, we rely on the following key growth strategies:

 

Continued joint product and business development with large military contractors and re-sellers where we can bundle together our headsets with the connectors and cables that we otherwise sell separately.

 

Leverage our QDC solution that we currently sell to manufacturers of Over-the-Ear Headsets to cross-sell our In-Ear Headsets and accessories

 

Increasing cooperation with well-established global manufacturers of Over-the-Ear Headset manufacturers through the licensing of elements of our In-Ear Headset technology to be applied to Over-the-Ear Headsets.

 

Continued development of benchmarks and incentive packages to our growing number of global distributors and agents in the territories in which we operate.

 

Building out a portfolio of framework agreements through participation in structured multiyear frame programs that run for three to seven years, such as the U.S. Department of Defense’s Equipment Purchasing Program.

 

We aim to reach new volume markets by addressing new user groups with a similar need to communicate in noisy and challenging environments while protecting hearing. Examples of such user groups include workers on construction sites, factory floors and mining operations all of which we have begun selling into.

 

Continue our market growth in the hotter climate areas of Asia where we are seeing a growing awareness and demand for sound protective high quality communication radios systems and headsets at a cost-effective price point.

 

Continuing sustainable and profitable growth by focusing on internal cost controls and collaborating closely with our manufacturing partners to safeguard volume gains and competitive production costs.

Preliminary Results as of and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

 

Below is a summary of certain preliminary estimates regarding our revenue and cash and cash equivalents as of the six months ended June 30, 2024. This preliminary financial information is based upon our estimates and is subject to completion of our financial closing procedures. Moreover, this preliminary financial information has been prepared solely on the basis of information that is currently available to, and that is the responsibility of, management. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited nor reviewed, and does not express an opinion with respect to, this information. This preliminary financial information is not a comprehensive statement of our revenue and cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and remains subject to, among other things, the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments, and completion of our internal review for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which may materially impact the results and expectations set forth below.

 

In the first half of 2024, we generated approximately $5.31 million in revenues, constituting an increase of 71.51% compared to the first half of 2023 in which we generated $3.096 million in revenues. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $3.692 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

 

Corporate Information

 

We are an Israeli corporation and are incorporated under the name Silynxcom Ltd. On January 17, 2024, we completed our initial public offering of Ordinary Shares on the NYSE American, or the Initial Public Offering. Our principal executive offices are located at 19 Yad Harutzim Street in Netanya, Israel. Our telephone number in Israel is +972 9-8658-370. Our website address https://www.silynxcom.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus. We have included our website address in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to, and intend to, take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” such as not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.235 billion, (b) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer

 

We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to “foreign private issuers,” and under those requirements, we file reports with the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, we are subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. For example, we are not required to issue quarterly reports, proxy statements that comply with the requirements applicable to U.S. domestic reporting companies, or individual executive compensation information that is as detailed as that required of U.S. domestic reporting companies. We also have four months after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual report with the SEC and are not required to file current reports as frequently or promptly as U.S. domestic reporting companies. Our officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the requirements to report transactions in our equity securities and from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of those otherwise required under the NYSE American rules for domestic U.S. issuers and are not required to be compliant with all NYSE American rules as would domestic U.S. issuers. These exemptions and leniencies will reduce the frequency and scope of information and protections available to you in comparison to those applicable to a U.S. domestic reporting company. We intend to take advantage of the exemptions available to us as a foreign private issuer during and after the period we qualify as an “emerging growth company.”

Implications of being a Controlled Company under the Companies Law

 

The term “control” is defined in the Companies Law as the ability to direct the activities of a company, other than by virtue of being an office holder. A shareholder is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if the shareholder “holds” (within the meaning of the Companies Law) 50% or more of the voting rights in a company or has the right to appoint 50% or more of the directors of the company or its general manager. With respect to certain matters, a controlling shareholder is deemed to include a shareholder that holds 25% or more of the voting rights in a public company if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights in the company but excludes a shareholder whose power derives solely from his or her position as a director of the company or from any other position with the company.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Nir Klein, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, owns more than 50% of our voting power.

 

Following the consummation of the offering, Mr. Nir Klein and Mr. Ron Klein may own, in the aggregate, less than 50% of the voting rights in the Company. The board of directors will continue to periodically assess and decide whether any person(s) retain control of our Company within the meaning of the Companies Law.

 

For so long as we have one or more controlling shareholder(s) (as defined above) following the consummation of the offering, any transaction which involves the controlling shareholder(s) must be approved by a special majority of our shareholders general meeting, in addition to other required approvals under Companies Law, without taking the controlling shareholder(s) vote into consideration in the said matter. Certain exemptions may apply to transactions with our controlling shareholder(s), as described in the Companies Law regulations.

 

Additionally, for so long as the Company has a controlling shareholder(s), members of the audit and compensation committees of the board of directors may not be an employee or service provider of the controlling shareholder(s).

 

Under regulations promulgated pursuant to the Companies Law, in case we do not have a controlling shareholder(s) in the future, the board of directors may adopt exemptions from various corporate governance requirements of the Companies Law, so long as such company satisfies the requirements of applicable foreign country laws and regulations, including applicable stock exchange rules, that apply to companies organized in that country and relating to the appointment of independent directors and the composition of audit and compensation committees. Such exemptions include an exemption from the requirement to appoint external directors and the requirement that an external director be a member of certain committees, as well as exemption from limitations on directors’ compensation.

 

Implications of being a Controlled Company under NYSE American Rules

 

In addition, for purposes of the NYSE American rules, we are a “controlled company”, meaning a company over which 50% or more of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual a group, or another company.

 

Since Mr. Ron Klein and Mr. Nir Klein own together 55.05% of our Ordinary Shares as of the date of this prospectus, which means that they control 55.05% of our voting power, we are eligible for exemptions from certain NYSE American corporate governance standards.

 

Under the NYSE American corporate governance standards, a “controlled company” can elect to be exempt from the requirements that a majority of its board of directors are independent and that the compensation committee is composed entirely of independent directors. However, to date, we have decided not to avail ourselves of the exemptions available for controlled companies under NYSE American rules.

 

Following the completion of this offering, Mr. Ron Klein and Mr. Nir Klein will no longer own a majority of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result, we will no longer be a “controlled company” under the NYSE American rules. Because, to date, we have decided not to avail ourselves of the exemptions available for controlled companies under NYSE American rules, we will have no additional corporate governance requirements with which to comply as a result of the loss of our “controlled company” status under NYSE American rules.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

Non-IFRS Operating Profit

 

We define non-IFRS operating profit as operating profit (loss) excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses. Management uses non-IFRS operating profit in evaluating the performance of the Company’s operations and non-IFRS operating profit is included as a supplemental disclosure because management believes it is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of our ongoing operations.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and those described under the section captioned “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus before making an investment in our securities. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if any of these risks occurs and, as a result, the market price and value of our securities could decrease and you could lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares

 

Our principal shareholders and management own a significant percentage of our Ordinary Shares and will be able to exert significant influence over matters subject to shareholder approval.

 

After the closing of this offering, our executive officers, directors, five percent shareholders and their affiliates will, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 52.79% of our Ordinary Shares (assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option). Therefore, these shareholders, and in particular, our largest shareholder, Mr. Nir Klein, will have the ability to influence us through their ownership positions. These shareholders may be able to determine all matters requiring shareholder approval. For example, these shareholders, acting together, may be able to control elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents or approval of any merger, sale of assets or other major corporate transaction. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our Ordinary Shares that you may believe are in your best interest as one of our shareholders.

 

The market price of our Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile, which could result in substantial losses for purchasers of our Ordinary Shares in this offering.

 

The trading price of each of our Ordinary Shares is likely to be volatile. The following factors, in addition to other risk factors described in this section, may have a significant impact on the market price of such securities:

 

overall performance of the equity markets and the economy;

 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our net revenue or other operating metrics;

 

changes in our financial or operational estimates or projections;

 

failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company or our failure to meet the estimates or the expectations of investors;

 

changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies similar to us;

 

the depth of the trading market in our Ordinary Shares;

 

announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;

 

lawsuits threatened or filed against us;

 

recruitment or departure of key personnel; and

 

other events or factors, including those resulting from war, public health concerns and epidemics, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events.

 

8

 

 

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of small companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. Further, a systemic decline in the financial markets and related factors beyond our control may cause our share price to decline rapidly and unexpectedly.

 

If you purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your Ordinary Shares.

 

The public offering price of the Ordinary Shares being offered hereby is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per Ordinary Share of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. If you purchase our Ordinary Shares in this offering, based on the assumed public offering price of $3.20 per Ordinary Share, you will experience immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.66 per Ordinary Share, representing the difference between our net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after giving effect to this offering and the assumed offering price of our Ordinary Shares. See “Dilution” for further information.

 

Sales, or the perception of future sales, of a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause our share price to fall.

 

Sales of a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares on the NYSE American or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Ordinary Shares. While Ordinary Shares sold to non-affiliates in this offering will be freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market, approximately 2,386,554 of the outstanding Ordinary Shares prior to this offering are expected to be subject to lock-up agreements with the underwriters of this offering that restrict the ability of these shareholders to transfer our Ordinary Shares held by them for at least 90 days from the date of this prospectus. These outstanding shares that are subject to lock-up agreements are expected to become eligible for unrestricted sale upon expiration of the lockup period. In addition, Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of options vested as of the expiration of the lock-up period will be eligible for sale at that time. Sales of shares by these shareholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

An active trading market for our ordinary shares may not be sustained.

 

Although our Ordinary Shares are listed on the NYSE American, an active public trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your Ordinary Shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair value of your Ordinary Shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling Ordinary Shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our Ordinary Shares as consideration.

 

We have not paid, and do not intend to pay, dividends on our Ordinary Shares and, therefore, unless our traded Ordinary Shares appreciate in value, our investors may not benefit from holding our Ordinary Shares.

 

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our Ordinary Shares. We do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance operations and expand our business. Our board of directors has sole discretion whether to pay dividends. If our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our directors may deem relevant.

 

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing shareholders and may adversely affect the rights of existing shareholders.

 

We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings and collaborations and strategic and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity (such as this offering) or otherwise including through convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. Future sales of our Ordinary Shares or of securities convertible into our Ordinary Shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause immediate dilution and adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

Risks Related to our Operations in Israel

 

Potential political, economic and military instability in the State of Israel, where our headquarters, members of our management team, our production and research and development facilities are located, may adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Our executive offices and research and development facilities are located in Netanya, Israel. In addition, the majority of our employees, officers and directors are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and groups in its neighboring countries, Hamas (an Islamist militia and political group that has historically controlled the Gaza Strip) and Hezbollah (an Islamist militia and political group based in Lebanon). In addition, several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise. Any hostilities involving Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region or the interruption or curtailment of trade or transport between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations and the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli government is currently committed to covering the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or, if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Further, many Israeli citizens are obligated to perform several days, and in some cases more, of annual military reserve duty each year until they reach the age of 40 (or older for certain reservists) and, in the event of a military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to increases in terrorist activity, there have been periods of significant call-ups of military reservists.

 

On October 7, 2023, an attack was launched against Israel by the Hamas terrorist organization. In response, the Security Cabinet of the State of Israel declared war against Hamas and a military campaign ensued. To date, the State of Israel continues to be at war with Hamas. In the months since the initial attack by Hamas, clashes with Hezbollah on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon and attacks on Israeli-controlled or owned ships in the Red Sea by members of the Houthi Movement in Yemen have taken place.

 

On April 13, 2024, Iran, launched more than 300 drones and missiles towards Israel, in response to which Israel and a coalition of allies intercepted over 90%. On April 19, 2024, Israel retaliated with a series of missile strikes on Iranian military sites. As of July 12, 2024, the conflict between Israel and Iran may still be in its inception and may escalate further.

 

Since the war broke out on October 7, 2023, our operations have not been adversely affected. At this time, it is not possible to predict the intensity or duration of the war, nor can we predict how this war will ultimately affect Israel’s economy in general, which may involve additional credit rating agencies downgrading Israel’s credit rating score after Moody’s downgrading of Israel’s credit rating from A1 to A2 and outlook rating from “stable” to “negative”, and we continue to monitor the situation closely and examine the potential disruptions that could adversely affect our operations.

 

In connection with the Israeli security cabinet’s declaration of war against Hamas, hostilities with Iran, and possible hostilities with other organizations, several hundred thousand Israeli military reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service. Although many such military reservists have been discharged, they may be called up again depending on how events unfold. As of July 12, 2024, one of our current employees in Israel is currently on active military duty and one of our current employees is a reservist that may at short notice be called up to active military duty. Moreover, we rely on service providers located in Israel and have entered into certain agreements with Israeli counterparties. Employees of such service providers or contractual counterparties may be called for service in the current or future wars or other armed conflicts with Hamas and Iran, in addition to other prospective armed conflicts Israel may be engaged in, and such persons may be absent from their positions for a period of time. As of July 12, 2024, we have not been affected by any absences of personnel at our service providers or counterparties located in Israel. However, military service call ups that result in absences of personnel from us, our service providers or contractual counterparties in Israel may disrupt our operations and absences for an extended period of time may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In the months since the initial attack by Hamas, other regional hostilities have become more pronounced. This includes hostilities with Iran, clashes with Hezbollah on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon and attacks on Israeli-controlled or owned ships in the Red Sea by members of the Houthi Movement in Yemen, resulting in shipping companies rerouting their cargo ships or ceasing shipments to Israel in the case of the latter. Hostilities with Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthi Movement, and other terrorist organizations include and may include terror and missile and drone attacks. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations. Our insurance policies do not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions and could harm our results of operations.

 

Several countries, principally in the Middle East, still restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise. In addition, there have been increased efforts by certain countries, activists and organizations to cause companies, research institutions and consumers to boycott Israeli goods and cooperation with Israeli-related entities based on Israeli government policies. In December 2023, the Republic of South Africa brought a case to the International Court of Justice, or the ICJ, about which Israel as a member of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, falls under its jurisdiction. The claim asserted that Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Prosecutorial proceedings took place in January 2024. The ICJ issued an interim ruling that prescribed Israel to prevent genocidal acts, prevent and punish incitement to genocide, and take steps to provide basic services and humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. In light of this ruling, certain companies and business have terminated commercial relationships with Israeli companies and more may follow. If such international tribunal and ICJ rulings continue to issue rulings against Israel, this may adversely impact our ability to cooperate with research institutions and collaborate with other third parties.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We expect to receive approximately $4.34 million in net proceeds from the sale of up to Ordinary Shares offered by us in this offering (approximately $5.03 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full).

 

We currently expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for marketing and business development, research and development and working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our global marketing and sales efforts, the development efforts and the overall economic environment. Therefore, our management will retain broad discretion over the use of the proceeds from this offering. We may ultimately use the proceeds for different purposes than what we currently intend. Pending any ultimate use of any portion of the proceeds from this offering, if the anticipated proceeds will not be sufficient to fund all the proposed purposes, our management will determine the order of priority for using the proceeds, as well as the amount and sources of other funds needed.

 

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we may invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of cash dividends, if any, in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

 

Under the Companies Law, we may declare and pay dividends only if, upon the determination of our board of directors, there is no reasonable concern that the distribution will prevent us from being able to meet the terms of our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due. Under the Companies Law, the distribution amount is further limited to the greater of retained earnings or earnings generated over the two most recent years legally available for distribution according to our then last reviewed or audited consolidated financial statements, provided that the end of the period to which the consolidated financial statements relate is not more than six months prior to the date of distribution. In the event that we do not meet such earnings criteria, we may seek the approval of the court in order to distribute a dividend. The court may approve our request if it is convinced that there is no reasonable concern that the payment of a dividend will prevent us from satisfying our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due.

 

Payment of dividends may be subject to Israeli withholding taxes.

53,624 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to an employee, at an exercise price of $0.81;

 

62,500 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares at $5.00 per Ordinary Share issued to the representative in connection with the Initial Public Offering; and

 

100,520 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of options held by certain directors to purchase Ordinary Shares at $4.00 per Ordinary Share.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our Ordinary Shares, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per Ordinary Share you will pay in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 was $2,221 thousand, corresponding to a net tangible book value of $0.70 per Ordinary Share. The pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of the Ordinary Shares to be issued and outstanding immediately after this offering assumes that all 1,562,500 Ordinary Shares offered hereby are sold, and is based on 5,286,982 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023 after giving effect to (i) the issuance of 114,041 Ordinary Shares that were issued upon the conversion of SAFEs in connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, (ii) the issuance of 761,162 Ordinary Shares that were issued in connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering based on the Investors Agreement, and (iii) the issuance of 1,250,000 Ordinary Shares in the Initial Public Offering, at an offering price of $4.00 per Ordinary Share, as if such events had occurred on December 31, 2023.

 

After giving further effect to sale of Ordinary Shares in this offering assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option and no exercise of any of the Representative’s Warrants issued in this offering at the assumed offering price of $3.20 per Ordinary Share, which was the closing price of our Ordinary Shares on the NYSE American on July 9, 2024, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, and after taking into account the pro forma adjustments described above, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value at December 31, 2023 was $1.54 per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.84 per Ordinary Share to existing shareholders and immediate dilution of $1.66 per Ordinary Share to new investors. The following table illustrates this dilution per ordinary share:

 

Assumed public offering price per Ordinary Share  $3.20 
Pro forma net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of December 31, 2023  $1.18 
Increase in net tangible book value per Ordinary Share attributable to new investors  $0.37 
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering  $1.54 
Dilution per Ordinary Share to new investors  $1.66 
Percentage of dilution in net tangible book value per Ordinary Share for new investors   51.83%

 

The pro forma and pro forma as adjusted information is illustrative only, and we will adjust this information based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. A $0.25 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $3.20 per Ordinary Share would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 after this offering by approximately $0.05 per Ordinary Share, and would increase (decrease) dilution to investors in this offering by $0.20 per Ordinary Share, assuming that the number of Ordinary Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of Ordinary Shares we are offering. An increase (decrease) of 100,000 in the number of Ordinary Shares we are offering would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 after this offering by approximately $0.02 per Ordinary Share, and would decrease (increase) dilution to investors in this offering by approximately $0.02 per Ordinary Share, assuming the assumed initial public offering price per Ordinary Share remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value will increase to $1.59 per Ordinary Share, representing an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value to existing shareholders of $0.05 per Ordinary Share and an immediate dilution of $1.61 per Ordinary Share to new investors participating in this offering.

 

The foregoing discussion and table do not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options having a per share exercise or conversion price less than the per Ordinary Share initial public offering price in this offering.

 

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.

The following table shows, as of December 31, 2023, on a pro forma as adjusted basis, the number of Ordinary Shares purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us and the average price paid per Ordinary Share by existing shareholders and by new investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $3.20 per Ordinary Share before deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us:

 

   Shares   Total Consideration   Average
Price Per
Ordinary
 
   Number   Percent   Amount   Percent   Share 
Existing shareholders   5,286,982    77.19%  $5,557    52.64%  $1.05 
New investors   1,562,500    22.81%  $5,000    47.36%  $3.20 
Total   6,849,482    100.0%  $10,557    100%  $1.54 

 

A $0.25 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $3.20 per Ordinary Share would increase (decrease) the total consideration paid by investors participating in this offering, total consideration paid by all shareholders and the average price per Ordinary Share paid by all shareholders by approximately $0.359 million, $0.359 million and $0.05 respectively, assuming that the number of Ordinary Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, a 100,000 share increase (decrease) in the number of Ordinary Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the total consideration paid by investors participating in this offering, total consideration paid by all shareholders and the average price per Ordinary Share paid by all shareholders by approximately $0.294 million, $0.294 million and $0.02 respectively, assuming the assumed public offering price of $3.20 per Ordinary Share remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

The number of the Ordinary Shares to be issued and outstanding immediately after this offering as shown above assumes that all Ordinary Shares offered hereby are sold, and is based on 5,286,982 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023 after giving effect to (i) the issuance of 114,041 Ordinary Shares that were issued upon the conversion of SAFEs in connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, (ii) the issuance of 761,162 Ordinary Shares that were issued in connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering based on the Investors Agreement, and (iii) the issuance of 1,250,000 Ordinary Shares in the Initial Public Offering, at an offering price of $4.00 per Ordinary Share, as if such events had occurred on December 31, 2023. This number excludes:

 

717,624 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of options to directors, employees and consultants under our share incentive plan at a weighted average exercise price of $2.15;

 

53,624 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to an employee, at an exercise price of $0.81;

 

62,500 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares at $5.00 per Ordinary Share issued to the representative in connection with the Initial Public Offering; and

 

100,520 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of options held by certain directors to purchase Ordinary Shares at $4.00 per Ordinary Share.

 

To the extent that outstanding options are exercised, new options or warrants are issued or we issue additional ordinary shares in the future, there will be further dilution to new investors. 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 we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our equity holders.

Record Holders

 

As of July 12, 2024, there were 16 shareholders of record of our Ordinary Shares, including one record holder in the United States, Cede & Co, the nominee of the Depository Trust Company. These numbers are not representative of the number of beneficial holders of our Ordinary Shares nor is it representative of where such beneficial holders reside since many of these shares were held in street name by brokers or other nominees.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

The following descriptions of our share capital and provisions of our articles of association are summaries, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to our articles of association, Israeli law, and any other documents referenced.

 

General

 

As of July 12, 2024, our authorized share capital consisted of 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares, no par value, of which 5,286,982 Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding as of such date. All of our outstanding Ordinary Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Our Ordinary Shares are not redeemable and are not subject to any preemptive right. Our registration number with the Israeli Registrar of Companies is 516454154. Our Ordinary Shares have been listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “SYNX” since January 12, 2024.

 

Ordinary Shares

 

In the last three years, we have issued an aggregate of 2,125,203 Ordinary Shares, all of which were issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering, the closing of which took place on January 17, 2024.

 

Our Articles of Association

 

Purposes and Objects of our Company

 

Our purpose is set forth in Article 1 of our articles of association and includes every lawful purpose.

 

The Powers of the Directors

 

Our board of directors shall direct our policy and shall supervise the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and his actions. Our board of directors may exercise all powers that are not required under the Companies Law or under our articles of association to be exercised or taken by our shareholders.

 

Rights Attached to Shares

 

Our Ordinary Shares shall confer upon the holders thereof:

 

equal right to attend and to vote at all of our general meetings, whether regular or special, with each Ordinary Share entitling the holder thereof, which attend the meeting and participate at the voting, either in person or by a proxy or by a written ballot, to one vote;

 

equal right to participate in distribution of dividends, if any, whether payable in cash or in bonus shares, in distribution of assets or in any other distribution, on a per share pro rata basis; and

 

equal right to participate, upon our dissolution, in the distribution of our assets legally available for distribution, on a per share pro rata basis.

 

19

 

 

Election of Directors

 

Pursuant to our articles of association, our directors are elected at an annual general meeting of our shareholders and serve on the board of directors until the next annual general meeting (except for external directors) or until he or she resigns or unless he or she is removed by a majority vote of our shareholders at a general meeting of our shareholders or upon the occurrence of certain events, in accordance with the Companies Law and our articles of association. The directors are classified, with respect to the term for which they each severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as practicable, and designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. The board of directors may assign members of the board of directors already in office to such classes at the time such classification becomes effective. If the number of directors is changed, any newly created directors or decrease in directors must be apportioned by the board among the classes to make them equal in number. Pursuant to our articles of association, other than the external directors, for whom special election requirements apply under the 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 articles of association allow our board of directors to appoint directors to fill vacancies and/or as an addition to the board of directors (subject to the maximum number of directors) to serve until the next annual general meeting. 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 Companies Law.

 

Annual and Special Meetings

 

Under Israeli law, we are required to hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders once every calendar year, at such time and place which shall be determined by our board of directors, that must be 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 as special general meetings. Our board of directors may call special meetings whenever it sees fit and upon the request of: (a) any two of our directors or such number of directors equal to one quarter of the directors then at office; and/or (b) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, (i) 5% or more of our outstanding issued shares and 1% of our outstanding voting power or (ii) 5% or more of our outstanding voting power, or the Non Exempted Holding. However, under a new exemption applicable as of March 12, 2024, the board of directors of an Israeli company whose shares are listed outside of Israel, shall convene a special meeting at the request of one or more shareholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding share capital instead of five percent (5%) in the past, and at least one percent (1%) of the voting rights in the company, or one or more shareholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the voting rights in the company, provided that if the applicable law as applicable to companies incorporated in the country which the Company is listed for trade, establishes a right to demand convening of such a meeting for those holding a percentage of holdings lower than ten percent (10%), then the Non Exempted Holding shall apply.

 

Under Israeli law, one or more shareholders holding at least 1% of the voting rights at the general meeting may request that the board of directors include a matter in the agenda of a general meeting to be convened in the future, provided that it is appropriate to discuss such a matter at the general meeting. Under the new exemptions applicable as of March 12, 2024, one or more shareholders of an Israeli company whose shares are listed outside of Israel, may request the company’s board of directors to include an appointment of a candidate for a position on the board of directors or the termination of a board member, as an item on the agenda of a future general meeting (if the company sees fit), provided that the shareholder hold at least 5% of the voting rights of the company (instead of 1% in the past).

 

20

 

 

Subject to the provisions of the 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 sixty days prior to the date of the meeting. Resolutions regarding the following matters must be passed at a general meeting of our shareholders:

 

amendments to our articles of association;

 

the exercise of powers of our board of directors in 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;

 

appointment or termination of our auditors;

 

appointment of directors, including external directors;

 

approval of acts and transactions requiring general meeting approval pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law (mainly certain related party transactions) and any other applicable law;

 

increases or reductions of our authorized share capital; and

 

a merger (as such term is defined in the Companies Law).

 

Notices

 

The Companies Law and our articles of association require that a notice of any annual or special shareholders meeting be provided at least 14 or 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, approval of the company’s general manager to serve as the chairman of the board of directors or an approval of a merger, notice must be provided at least 35 days prior to the meeting.

 

Quorum

 

As permitted under the Companies Law, the quorum required for our general meetings consists of at least two shareholders present in person, by proxy, written ballot or voting by means of electronic voting system, who hold or represent between them at least 25% of the total outstanding voting rights. If within half an hour of the time set forth for the general meeting a quorum is not present, the general meeting shall stand adjourned the same day of the following week, at the same hour and in the same place, or to such other date, time and place as prescribed in the notice to the shareholders and in such adjourned meeting, if no quorum is present within half an hour of the time arranged, any number of shareholders participating in the meeting, shall constitute a quorum.

 

If a special general meeting was summoned following the request of a shareholder, and within half an hour a legal quorum shall not have been formed, the meeting shall be canceled.

 

Access to Corporate Records

 

Under the Companies Law, shareholders are entitled to have access to: minutes of the Company’s general meetings; the Company’s shareholders register and principal shareholders register, articles of association and annual audited financial statements; and any document that the Company is required by law to file publicly with the Israeli Companies Registrar or the Israel Securities Authority. These documents are publicly available and may be found and inspected at the Israeli Registrar of Companies. In addition, shareholders may request to be provided with any document related to an action or transaction requiring shareholder approval under the related party transaction provisions of the Companies Law. The Company may deny this request if the Company believes it has not been made in good faith or if such denial is necessary to protect the Company’s interest or protect a trade secret or patent.

 

21

 

 

Adoption of Resolutions

 

Our articles of association provide that all resolutions of our shareholders require a simple majority vote, unless otherwise required under the Companies Law or our articles of association. A shareholder may vote in a general meeting in person, by proxy, by a written ballot.

 

Changing Rights Attached to Shares

 

Unless otherwise provided by the terms of the shares and subject to any applicable law, any modification of rights attached to any class of shares must be adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares of that class present a general meeting of the affected class or by a written consent of all the shareholders of the affected class.

 

The enlargement of an existing class of shares or the issuance of additional shares thereof, shall not be deemed to modify the rights attached to the previously issued shares of such class or of any other class, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the shares.

 

Limitations on the Right to Own Securities in Our Company

 

There are no limitations on the right to own our securities in our articles of association.

 

Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our Company

 

There are no specific provisions of our articles of association that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company or that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us or our subsidiaries. However, as described below, certain provisions of the Companies Law may have such effect.

 

The Companies Law includes provisions that allow a merger transaction and requires that each company that is a party to the merger have the transaction approved by its board of directors and, unless certain requirements described under the Companies Law are met, a vote of the majority of shareholders, and, in the case of the target company, also a majority vote of each class of its shares. For purposes of the shareholder vote of each party, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger will not be deemed approved if shares representing a majority of the voting power present at the shareholders meeting and which are not held by the other party to the merger (or by any person or group of persons acting in concert who holds 25% or more of the voting power or the right to appoint 25% or more of the 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. 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 any of the parties to the merger, and may further give instructions to secure the rights of creditors. 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 petition of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of a company. For such petition to be granted, the court must find 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. In addition, a merger may not be completed unless at least (1) 50 days have passed from the time that the requisite proposals for approval of the merger were filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies by each merging company and (2) 30 days have passed since the merger was approved by the shareholders of each merging company.

 

22

 

 

The Companies Law also provides that, subject to certain exceptions, an acquisition of shares in an Israeli public company must be made by means of a “special” tender offer if as a result of the acquisition (1) 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% or more of the voting rights in the company or (2) the purchaser would become a holder of 45% or more of the voting rights in the company, unless there is already a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, the acquisition (1) was made in a private placement that received shareholders’ approval, subject to certain conditions, (2) was from a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, or (3) was from a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. A “special” tender offer must be extended to all shareholders. In general, a “special” tender offer may be consummated only if (1) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror and (2) the offer is accepted by a majority of the offerees who notified the company of their position in connection with such offer (excluding the offeror, controlling shareholders, holders of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company or anyone on their behalf, 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.

 

However, under a new exemption applicable as of March 12, 2024, the aforesaid limitations do not apply for an Israeli company whose shares are listed outside of Israel, provided that the applicable law as applicable to companies incorporated in the country which the company is listed for trade, provide a restriction on the acquisition of control of any proportion of the company or that the acquisition of control of any proportion requires the purchaser to also offer a purchase offer to shareholders from among the public.

 

If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of an Israeli company’s outstanding shares or of certain class of shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares, or for all of the outstanding shares of such class, as applicable. In general, if less than 5% of the outstanding shares, or of applicable class, are not tendered in the tender offer and more than half of the offerees who have no personal interest in the offer tendered their shares, all the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to it by operation of law. However, a tender offer will also be accepted if the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than 2% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class of shares. Any shareholders that was an offeree in such tender offer, whether such shareholder accepted the tender offer or not, may request, by petition to an Israeli court, (i) appraisal rights in connection with a full tender offer, and (ii) that the fair value should be paid as determined by the court, for a period of six months following the acceptance thereof. However, the acquirer is entitled to stipulate, under certain conditions, that tendering shareholders will forfeit such appraisal rights.

 

Lastly, Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as stock-for-stock exchanges between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less favorably than U.S. tax laws. For example, Israeli tax law may, under certain circumstances, subject a shareholder who exchanges his Ordinary Shares for shares in another corporation to taxation prior to the sale of the shares received in such stock-for-stock swap.

 

Changes in Our Capital

 

The general meeting may, by a simple majority vote of the shareholders attending the general meeting:

 

increase our registered share capital by the creation of new shares from the existing class or a new class, as determined by the general meeting;

 

cancel any registered share capital which have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person;

 

23

 

 

consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of larger nominal value than our existing shares;

 

subdivide our existing shares or any of them, our share capital or any of it, into shares of smaller nominal value than is fixed; and

 

reduce our share capital and any fund reserved for capital redemption in any manner, and with and subject to any incident authorized, and consent required, by the Companies Law.

 

Anti-Takeover Measures

 

We have a classified board structure that effectively limits the ability of any investor or potential investor or group of investors or potential investors to gain control of our board of directors.

 

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, as follows:

 

(1)The Company’s Class I director is Mr. Ron Klein; who shall hold office until the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held in 2024 and until his successor is elected and qualified;

 

(2)The Company’s Class II directors are: (1) Ms. Gal Nir Klein and (2) Mr. Adler Adrian; who shall hold office until the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held in 2025 and until their successors are elected and qualified; and

 

(3)The Company’s Class III directors are: (1) Mr. Nir Klein and (2) Ms. Yafit Keret; who shall hold office until the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held in 2026 and until their successors are elected and qualified.

 

Exclusive Forum

 

Our articles of association provide that unless our Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, and that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of our Company, shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this exclusive forum provision.

 

Borrowing Powers

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law and articles of association, our board of directors may exercise all powers and take all actions that are not required under law or under our articles of association to be exercised or taken by the Company’s shareholders.

UNDERWRITING

 

ThinkEquity LLC is acting as representative of the underwriters, or the Representative. On , 2024 we entered into an underwriting agreement with the Representative, or the Underwriting Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, we have agreed to sell, and each underwriter named below has severally agreed to purchase, the number of Ordinary Shares listed next to each underwriter’s name in the following table, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

 

Underwriters  Number of

ThinkEquity LLC              
Total     

 

The underwriters have committed to purchase all of the Ordinary Shares offered by us in this offering, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below. The obligations of the underwriters may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Underwriting Agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriters’ obligations are subject to customary conditions, representations, and warranties, such as receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.

 

The underwriters are offering the Ordinary Shares subject to prior sale when, as, and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel and other conditions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

 

The underwriters propose to offer the Ordinary Shares to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover of the prospectus. After the Ordinary Shares are released for sale to the public, the underwriters may from time to time change the offering price and other selling terms.

 

Over-Allotment Option

 

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to additional Ordinary Shares (15% of the shares sold in this offering) at the offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters may exercise the option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, in connection with this offering. To the extent that the option is exercised, each underwriter must purchase additional shares of our Ordinary Shares in an amount that is approximately proportionate to that underwriter’s initial purchase commitment (set forth in the table above). Any of our Ordinary Shares issued or sold under the option will be issued and sold on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of our Ordinary Shares that are the subject of this offering. If this option is exercised in full, the total gross offering proceeds will be $5.75 million and the total net proceeds to us, after expenses, will be $5.03 million.

 

Discounts and Commissions

 

The Representative has advised that the underwriters propose to offer the Ordinary Shares to the public at the public offering price per Ordinary Share set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may offer the shares to securities dealers at that price less a concession of not more than $  per Ordinary Share, of which up to $  may be re-allowed to other dealers.

The following table summarizes the public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions, and proceeds to us before expenses, assuming both no exercise and full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option.

Public offering price  $    $             $         
Underwriting discount (7%)(1)  $    $    $

(1)We have agreed to pay a non-accountable expense allowance to the Representative equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received in this offering (excluding proceeds received from exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) which is not included in the underwriting discounts and commission.

 

We have paid an expense deposit of $20,000 to the Representative, which will be applied against the Representative’s accountable out-of-pocket expenses (in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)) that are payable by us in connection with this offering. We have agreed to reimburse the Representative for the fees and expenses of its legal counsel in connection with the offering in an amount not to exceed $75,000, the fees and expenses related to the use of Ipero’s book building, prospectus tracking and compliance software for the offering in the amount of $29,500, up to $15,000 for background checks of our officers and directors, the costs associated with bound volumes of the offering materials as well as commemorative mementos and lucite tombstones in an amount not to exceed $3,000, data services and communications expenses up to $10,000, the actual accountable “road show” expenses up to $10,000 and up to $30,000 of the Representative’s market making and trading, and clearing firm settlement expenses for this offering, provided that the aggregate accountable expense reimbursement for which we are responsible will not exceed $100,000 (inclusive of the $20,000 expense deposit referenced above).

 

We expect that the expenses of this offering payable by us, not including underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $157,500.

 

Representative’s Warrants

 

We have agreed to issue to the Representative, upon the closing of this offering, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 78,125 of our Ordinary Shares (or 89,844 Ordinary Shares if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full), representing 5% of the Ordinary Shares sold in this offering, or the Representative’s Warrants. The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable at a per Ordinary Share price equal to $4.00 (or 125% of the public offering price per Ordinary Share in this offering). The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, commencing on the six-month anniversary of the commencement of sales under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and expire on the date that is five years following the commencement of sales of Ordinary Shares in this offering.

 

The Representative’s Warrants are deemed underwriter compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). The Representative (or permitted assignees under Rule 5110(e)(2)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the commencement of sales under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. In addition, the Representative’s Warrants provide for registration rights upon request, in certain cases, including piggyback registration rights and one demand registration right. The demand registration right provided will not be greater than five years from the effective date of this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(c). The piggyback registration rights provided thereby will not be greater than seven years from the effective date of this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the Representative’s Warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. However, neither the Representative Warrant exercise price, nor the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants, will be adjusted for issuances of Ordinary Shares by us at a price below the exercise price of the Representative’s Warrants.

Right of First Refusal

 

For 24 months from the closing date of our Initial Public Offering, the Representative will have an irrevocable right of first refusal to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent, at the Representative’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financings, during such 24 month period, for us, or any successor to or any subsidiary of us, on terms customary for the Representative. The Representative will have the sole right to determine whether any other broker-dealer shall have the right to participate in any such offering and the economic terms of any such participation. The right of first refusal granted to the Representative will not have a duration of more than three years from the commencement of sales under our Initial Public Offering.

 

Tail Financing Payments

 

We have also agreed to pay the Representative a tail fee equal to the cash compensation in this offering, if any investor, who was contacted or introduced to us by the Representative during the term of its engagement, provides us with capital in any public or private offering or other financing or capital raising transaction during the 3-month period following the termination or expiration of our engagement agreement with the Representative.

  

Indemnification

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against liabilities relating to this offering that may arise under the Securities Act and from any breach of the representations and warranties contained in the Underwriting Agreement. We have further agreed to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.

Stabilization

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids, and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress.

 

Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares that the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that the underwriters purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares that the underwriters purchase in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

 

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares through exercise of the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

Penalty bids permit the Representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our Ordinary Shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our Ordinary Shares. As a result, the price of our Ordinary Shares in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our Ordinary Shares. These transactions may be affected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

Other Relationships

 

The underwriters and their affiliates may in the future provide various advisory, investment and commercial banking and other services for us in the ordinary course of business, for which they may receive customary fees and commissions. However, we have not yet had, and have no present arrangements with any of the underwriters for any further services.

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Certain legal matters concerning this offering will be passed upon for us by Sullivan & Worcester LLP, New York, New York. Certain legal matters with respect to the legality of the issuance of the securities offered by us in this prospectus and other legal matters concerning this offering relating to Israeli law will be passed upon for us by Sullivan & Worcester Tel Aviv (Har-Even & Co.), Tel Aviv, Israel. Certain legal matters related to the offering will be passed upon for the underwriters by Greenberg Traurig, P.A.

 

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023 incorporated by reference in this prospectus, have been so included in reliance on the report of Ziv Haft, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a BDO Member Firm, an independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated herein by reference, given on the authority of the said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

 

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 the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, a substantial majority of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and a substantial of our directors and officers are located outside of 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.

 

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Sullivan & Worcester Tel Aviv (Har-Even & Co.), that 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 U.S. 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 among other things:

 

the judgment is 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 judgment is final and is not subject to any right of appeal;

 

the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment was rendered allows for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts. However, the court may enforce a foreign judgment, even without reciprocity, based on the request of the Attorney General, under certain circumstances;

 

the liabilities under the judgment are enforceable according to the laws of the State of Israel and the judgment and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment is not contrary to the law or public policy in Israel nor likely to impair the security or sovereignty of Israel;

 

the judgment was not obtained by fraud, there was reasonable opportunity for the defendant to present their case, the judgment was given by an authorized court under the applicable international private law rules in Israel, and the judgement does not conflict with any other valid judgments 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;

 

the judgment is enforceable according to the laws of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which it was granted; and

 

enforcement may be denied if it could harm the sovereignty or security of Israel.

 

If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency. The conversion to Israeli currency will be based on the latest official exchange rate published by the Bank of Israel before the payment date. However, the obligated party will fulfill its duty for the judgment even if they choose to make the payment in the same foreign currency, subject to the laws governing the foreign currency applicable at that time. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli CPI 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, Officers and Employees

 

Indemnification

 

The Companies Law, and the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968, or the Securities Law, provide that a company may indemnify an office holder against the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking made in advance of an event or following an event, provided its articles of association include a provision authorizing such indemnification:

 

  A financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person by any judgment concerning an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court;

 

  Reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder (a) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (1) no indictment (as defined in the Companies Law) was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (2) no financial liability as a substitute for the criminal proceeding (as defined in the Companies Law) was imposed upon him or her as a result of such investigation or proceeding, or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; or (b) in connection with a monetary sanction;

 

  Reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder or imposed on him or her by a court; (1) in proceedings that the company institutes, or that another person institutes on the company’s behalf, against him or her; (2) in a criminal proceeding of which he or she was acquitted; or (3) as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent; and

 

  Expenses incurred by an office holder in connection with an Administrative Procedure under the Securities Law, including reasonable litigation expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees. An “Administrative Procedure” is defined as a procedure pursuant to chapters H3 (Monetary Sanction by the Israeli Securities Authority), H4 (Administrative Enforcement Procedures of the Administrative Enforcement Committee) or I1 (Arrangement to prevent Procedures or Interruption of procedures subject to conditions) to the Securities Law.

 

The Companies Law also permits a company to undertake in advance to indemnify an office holder, provided that if such indemnification relates to financial liability imposed on him or her, as described above, then the undertaking should be limited and shall detail the following foreseen events and amount or criterion:

 

  To events that in the opinion of the board of directors can be foreseen based on the company’s activities at the time that the undertaking to indemnify is made; and

 

  In amount or criterion determined by the board of directors, at the time of the giving of such undertaking to indemnify, to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and with all members of our senior management. Each such indemnification agreement provides the office holder with indemnification permitted under applicable law and up to a certain amount, and to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by directors and officers insurance.

 

Exculpation

 

Under the Companies Law, an Israeli company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty, but may exculpate in advance an office holder from his or her liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care (other than in relation to distributions), but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our amended and restated articles of association provide that we may exculpate, in whole or in part, any office holder from liability to us for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care, but prohibit an exculpation from liability arising from a company’s transaction in which our controlling shareholder or officer has a personal interest. Subject to the aforesaid limitations, under the indemnification agreements, we exculpate and release our office holders from any and all liability to us related to any breach by them of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

II-1

 

 

Limitations

 

The Companies Law provides that our Company may not exculpate or indemnify an office holder nor enter into an insurance contract that would provide coverage for any liability incurred as a result of any of the following: (1) a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of loyalty unless (in the case of indemnity or insurance only, but not exculpation) the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice us; (2) a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of care if the breach was carried out intentionally or recklessly (as opposed to merely negligently); (3) any act or omission committed with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or (4) any fine, monetary sanction, penalty or forfeit levied against the office holder.

 

Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders in a public company must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors and, with respect to certain office holders or under certain circumstances, also by the shareholders.

 

Our articles of association permit us to exculpate (subject to the aforesaid limitation), indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted or to be permitted by the Companies Law.

 

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

Set forth below are the sales of all securities by us in the last three years which were not registered under the Securities Act. We believe that each of such issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 701 and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

On December 29, 2021, we entered into an agreement with certain investors, or the Investors, as amended on October 26, 2022, whereby such Investors invested NIS 700 thousand in exchange for the issuance of securities following this offering under the following terms: (1) existing shareholders will hold 50% of our issued and outstanding share capital following our initial public offering (including 442,118 options to be assigned to our Company’s vice president); (2) the Investors would hold a minimum of 13.48% of our issued and outstanding share capital following the initial public offering; (3) following the completion of the initial public offering, we may allocate 12% of our share capital to our option plan; and (4) we will list the Investors’ shares for trading up to six months following the completion of the initial public offering.

 

On June 1, 2022, we entered into certain equity investment agreements, which we refer to as a Simple Agreement for Future Equity, or SAFEs, for an aggregate net proceeds of NIS 1.14 million, which amounts will be converted into our Ordinary Shares at a discount rate of (i) 67% (i.e., 33% discount) with respect to an initial public offering or change of control, or a Liquidity Event, or (ii) 70% (i.e., 30% discount) with respect to a bona fide transaction with the principal purpose of raising capital, pursuant to which our Company issues and sells shares in consideration for investment in an aggregate amount of at least NIS 10,000 thousand in one or more related closings, or Equity Financing.

 

In conjunction with our initial public offering which closed on January 17, 2024, we issued an aggregate of 875,203 Ordinary Shares to the Investors and upon conversion of the SAFEs.

 

Since our inception, we have granted to our directors, officers, and employees options to purchase an aggregate of 1,389,133 Ordinary Shares under our ESOP, with exercise prices ranging between $1.27 and $59.46 per Ordinary Share. As of July 12, 2024, no options granted to directors, officers and employees have been exercised, and 191,961 options were forfeited and expired. The total outstanding amount of options and warrants issued to directors, officers, employees and consultants as of July 12, 2024 is 619,498.

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;

 

  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.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.

 

II-4

 

 

  (4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic 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 Form F-3.

 

  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

  i. If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

  A. Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

  B. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness of the date of the first contract or sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date and underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 sale prior to such effective date, 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 effective date; or

 

  ii. If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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 prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, 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.

 

II-5

 

 

  (6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 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 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;

 

  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 to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

 

  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

  (d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

  (1) That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

  (2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
