Up to 270,000,000 Ordinary Shares
Represented by 3,000,000 American Depositary Shares
SaverOne 2014 Ltd.
This prospectus relates to
the offer and sale from time to time, by YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (“Yorkville” or the
“Selling Shareholder”), of up to 270,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”)
of SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (“SaverOne” or the “Company”) represented by 3,000,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADS”)
that may be issued to Yorkville pursuant to the standby equity purchase agreement, dated as of July 16, 2024, entered into by and between
Yorkville and the Company (the “SEPA”), either at the election of the Company, in addition to up to 187,500,000 Ordinary
Shares that the Company registered for resale by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to the registration statement on Form F-1 (File No.
333-281034) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) that was declared effective on August 6, 2024 by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
On October 28, 2024, the
Company effected the change in the ADS ratio from one (1) ADS representing five (5) Ordinary Shares, to one (1) ADS representing ninety
(90) Ordinary Shares. This change in the ADS has the effect or a reverse stock split on the existing ADSs on the basis of one (1)
new ADS for every eighteen (18) old ADSs (the “Reverse Stock Split”) held by the Company’s holders. Our Ordinary Shares
were unaffected by the new exchange ratio for ADSs. Our ADSs are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, or “ADRs.”
Unless noted otherwise, all
ADSs and the price per ADS numbers for all periods presented in this Prospectus have been retroactively adjusted for the Reverse
Stock Split.
Pursuant to the SEPA, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to issue (each such issuance, an “Advance”)
to Yorkville, and Yorkville has the obligation to subscribe for the Company’s ADSs for an aggregate subscription amount of up to
$15 million (the “Commitment Amount”), at any time from the date of the SEPA until July 16, 2027, unless terminated
earlier pursuant to the SEPA (the “Commitment Period”), by delivering written notice to Yorkville (each, an “Advance
Notice”). As described below, without Yorkville’s consent, the Company does not have the right to require Yorkville to subscribe
for any ADSs if a balance remains outstanding under the promissory notes issued to Yorkville, unless an Amortization Event (as defined
below) has occurred and the proceeds of any Advance is applied towards repayment of a balance under those promissory notes.
Yorkville has previously
advanced to the Company the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), evidenced by convertible promissory
notes (the “Promissory Notes”), which are convertible into Company’s ADSs. The first Pre-Paid Advance in a principal
amount of $1,000,000 was advanced on July 17, 2024, the second Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $1,000,000 was advanced
on July 26, 2024, upon filing of the Prior Registration Statement, and the third Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $1,000,000
was advanced to the Company on August 8, 2024, the second trading day after the date of effectiveness of the Initial Registration
Statement. Each Pre-Paid Advance was subject to a 3% discount to the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance.
Principal, interest and any
other payments due under the Promissory Notes shall be paid in cash on January 16, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), unless converted
by Yorkville or redeemed by the Company. Except as specifically permitted by the terms of the Promissory Notes, the Company may not prepay
or redeem any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder. Subject to the terms set forth in the
Promissory Notes, at any time on or after the issuance date, Yorkville shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding principal
of the Promissory Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such outstanding principal of the Promissory Notes (such amount, the “Conversion
Amount”) into ADSs at the Conversion Price. The number of ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Conversion Amount will be determined
by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the lower of (i) 9.51 per ADS, or (ii) 95% of the lowest daily VWAP during
the 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date or other date of determination (the “Conversion Price”),
but not lower than $1.5624 per ADS Share (the “Floor Price”). The Conversion Price may be adjusted from time to time pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the Promissory Notes.
The Company has the option
to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Promissory Notes, provided that the Company provides Yorkville with prior written
notice of its desire to do so. Each redemption will be irrevocable. In addition to the amount of the outstanding principal and all accrued
and unpaid interest on such principal amount, the Company has to pay a 10% premium.
The Company is required
to make monthly payments under the Promissory Notes of $500,000 of principal, or the outstanding principal if less than such amount,
plus 10%, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being paid if there is an Amortization Event. Unless waived
by Yorkville, an Amortization Event occurs if the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price then in effect for three trading days
during a period of five consecutive trading days (a “Floor Price Event”), or (ii) if Yorkville cannot use the
registration statement to sell ADSs. Our obligation to pay these monthly payments will terminate if the Company resets the floor
price which shall be no more than 50% of the closing price on the trading day immediate before such reset (and cannot be greater
than the Floor Price then in effect), the daily VWAP is greater than 110% of the Floor Price then in effect for 10 consecutive days
or Yorkville can use the registration statement to sell its ADSs. Yorkville has waived, through January 2025, any Amortization Event
under the SEPA as a result of a Floor Price Event.
Yorkville may declare the
full unpaid principal amount of the Promissory Notes, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, immediately
due and payable in cash upon the occurrence of certain specified events of default and mandatory prepayment events. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any event of default, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Notes
at a rate of 18% per annum.
At any time that a balance
under a Promissory Note is outstanding, Yorkville may, by providing written notice to the Company (an “Investor Notice”),
require the Company to issue and sell shares to Yorkville as set out in the relevant Investor Notice, subject to certain limitations
as set forth in the SEPA. The purchase price of the shares delivered pursuant to an Investor Notice shall be equal to the Conversion
Price then in effect and shall be paid by offsetting the amount of the aggregate purchase price to be paid by Yorkville against an equal
amount outstanding under the Promissory Note.
The SEPA does not require
Yorkville to subscribe for or acquire any ADSs under the SEPA if those ADSs, when aggregated with all other ADSs or Ordinary Shares acquired
by Yorkville under the SEPA, would result in Yorkville beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the then outstanding ADSs or Ordinary Shares.
We are not selling any of
our securities under this prospectus, and we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our securities by Yorkville. However,
the outstanding balances under the Promissory Notes will be reduced by the amount of ADSs sold to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA. We
will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the ADSs. Yorkville will bear all commissions and discounts,
if any, attributable to sales of the securities registered herein. See “Plan of Distribution.”
See the section titled “The
Yorkville Transaction” for a description of the transaction contemplated by the SEPA and “Selling Shareholder” for
additional information regarding Yorkville.
As of the date of this Prospectus,
we received approximately $3.63 million in aggregate proceeds under the SEPA. The amount that we may receive under the SEPA in the future
is difficult to estimate depends on a number of factors, including the Conversion Price, the frequency and prices at which we issue ADSs
to Yorkville, market conditions and the trading price of our Ordinary Shares, our ability to meet the conditions set forth in the SEPA,
and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for our company and our operations.
Yorkville is an “underwriter”
within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
and any profits on the sales of shares of our ADSs by Yorkville and any discounts, commissions, or concessions received by Yorkville
are deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Our ordinary shares are listed
on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd., or the TASE, under the symbol “SVRE.” The last reported sale price of our ordinary shares
on the TASE on December 5, 2024 was NIS 0.049 or $0.0136 per share (based on the exchange rate reported by the Bank of Israel on that
date, which was NIS 3.603 = $1.00).
Our ADSs are listed on the
Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “SVRE. The last reported sale price of our ADSs on Nasdaq on December 5, 2024
was $1.08 per ADS.

Our Company
We are a technology company
engaged in the design, development and commercialization of transportation and safety solutions, designed to save lives by preventing
car accidents based on our patented technology of detecting, analyzing and locating cellular phone radio frequency, or RF, Signals. Using
this core technology, we are developing two product lines. The first is an In Cabin Driver Distraction Prevention Solution, or DDPS,
which comprises an aftermarket product for vehicles (i.e., vehicles already supplied to customers) that is in a commercial phase and
an original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, product targeting vehicle manufacturers which is in development. The second is an Advanced
Driver-Assistance System, or ADAS, product that detects vulnerable road users, or VRUs, and provides warning to the vehicle regarding
potential collision.
Our DDPS, known also as the
SaverOne system, provides an advanced driver safety solution that can identify and monitor mobile phones located in the driver’s
vicinity and selectively block use of life-threatening applications. Our technology is based on our proprietary hardware, software and
algorithms, and we believe it has significant advantages over our competitors’ because our solution meets the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s, or NHTSA, guidelines for a complete solution for distracted driving. Our DDPS solution can be
utilized in commercial vehicles, buses, vehicles owned or leased by companies that are provided to employees, private vehicles and other
forms of transportation.
The first-generation DDPS
product was for the aftermarket vehicle market and was intended for private vehicles, trucks and buses. This Generation 1.0 was launched
in late 2019, initially for private cars, and thereafter was made commercially available to trucks and buses. It is currently marketed
in Israel as part of our pre-commercialization/early user campaign. We are working on pilot programs with various fleet and system integrators
in the United States, Europe, Asia and APAC. As of August 26, 2024, about 4,800 systems have been ordered (which includes about 950 systems
ordered as part of our ongoing Generation 1.0 and Generation 2.0 pilot program and about 3,850 systems purchased in commercial orders
by our Generation 1.0 and Generation 2.0 customers) and about 3,750 of these systems have been installed.
The second-generation DDPS
product, which was released in the fourth quarter of 2022, replaced Generation 1.0, which we phased out in the first quarter of 2023.
This Generation 2.0 is intended for the global automobile market. It includes significant improvements to our Generation 1.0 solution
for maximal performance, compatibility with automobiles and cellular networks, market penetration and profitability. We are targeting
the global aftermarket automobile market starting with the U.S. and Europe.
With respect to our DDPS
OEM solution, we plan to integrate it into the vehicle manufacturing process, to be offered directly to customers by the vehicle manufacturer
as part of the vehicle. We are currently working with one of the leading global OEMs in order to have the SaverOne technology integrated
into vehicles during the manufacturing process. The OEM solution is in the early stage of development, and we expect to launch it during
the first half of 2025. Since the development of our OEM solution is still in an early stage, it is too early to estimate the cost of
development.
In the past several years,
we believe that public awareness and demand for driver safety technologies has grown substantially. While there are currently many driver
assistant products on the market, we believe that the safety of drivers will be substantially improved with our technology. Our mission
is to enhance driver safety by providing a solution that is highly reliable and able to prevent certain driver distractions related to
mobile phone usage while driving, which we believe is a major cause for driver distraction related automobile accidents. Mobile phone
distracted driving is a leading cause of traffic accidents in the United States. According to a survey done by the NHTSA, 660,000 drivers
in the United States attempt to use their mobile phones while driving at any given moment. The National Safety Council, or NSC reports
that mobile phone use during driving causes approximately 1.6 million traffic accidents annually in the United States alone, leading
to the death of approximately 4,600 people and injuring an additional 391,000 people. Moreover, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration,
or FMCSA, reported that 71% of commercially driven large-truck crashes occurred because of driver distraction.
Distracted driving due to
mobile phone usage is not just a problem in the United States. A number of surveys conducted across Europe and Oceania have revealed
troubling statistics about its prevalence across nations. In the Czech Republic, 36% of drivers admitted to using their phone almost
every time they get behind the wheel. In both Spain and Ireland, 25% of drivers admitted to using their phone while driving. In Germany,
at any given moment an average of 7% of all drivers are distracted while driving. This problem of distracted driving extends to
Australia as well, where one-quarter of drivers admitted to using their phone while driving.
As of the first quarter of
2023, there were an estimated 286 million cars and trucks on the road in the United States and approximately 339 million cars and trucks
on the road in Europe. In addition, it is estimated that approximately 75 million new cars were sold worldwide in 2023.
The ramifications of mobile
phone distracted driving exceed the bounds of just physical damage, as they can be exceedingly costly for drivers as well. For example,
expressed on a per death basis, the cost of all motor-vehicle crashes (fatal, nonfatal injury, and
property damage) was $11,880,000 according to the NSC. In addition, the total societal and economic costs of distracted driving crashes
in the United States was estimated at $871 billion according to the NHTSA. Specifically with regard to commercial vehicle crashes, the
average total costs of commercial motor vehicle crashes for the years of 2012-2015 was over $11 billion per year according to the FMCSA.
Accordingly, we believe that there is a tremendous financial incentive for a solution to this grave problem.
In response to the need for
a solution to distracted driving resulting from the use of mobile phones, the NHTSA has published a comprehensive study suggesting that
a complete solution must contain the following features: (i) the ability to distinguish between the driver’s area of the vehicle
and the rest of the vehicle, (ii) does not depend on the cooperation of the driver, and (iii) selective blocking of cell phone applications.
Our SaverOne system has been designed with these features in mind and it is for this reason that we believe that it is significantly
better than the existing product solutions sold in the market.
The NHTSA’s driving
guidelines do not constitute U.S. law and compliance does not result in compliance with U.S. driving safety regulations. In order to
market our products to vehicle manufacturers we may be required to meet different types of regulations requirements such as International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26262 Functional Safety Regulations (ASIL), the International Standard for Automotive Quality
Management Systems (IAFT) 16949, Automotive Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination (SPICE) or other common quality
management standards. In order to meet the quality requirements, we will have to cooperate with vehicle manufacturers, to receive their
customers’ quality requirements that meet the requisite regulation of such customers and implement tools, processes and methodologies.
Such implementation will require significant resources and funds and is expected to consume significant time and effort. We expect that
only our OEM solution, which is a solution designed for the OEM market may require compliance with the foregoing regulations, whereas
our Generation 1.0 and 2.0 solutions, both after-market solutions, are not required to comply with the foregoing regulations.
The SaverOne system currently
has achieved safety and radiation certifications from Hermon Laboratories, an internationally approved testing and certification lab.
SaverOne’s solution is certified for operating in Israel, the United States, Europe and Japan. These certifications assure that
SaverOne product complies with the regulations/legislations in these countries/regions.
Strategy
Our objective is to develop
and commercialize technologies and applications designed to save lives by preventing car accidents, by detecting, analyzing and locating
cellular phone RF Signals. We are targeting two business segments in development of the technology necessary to create a life-saving
system that prevents certain uses of cell phones while driving a motor vehicle. The first is the DDPS which targets two product lines:
an aftermarket product that is in a commercial phase, and an OEM product which is in development. The second business segment is the
ADAS segment for which we offer a sensor that is dealing with the detection of VRUs by providing a warning to the vehicle regarding potential
collision. We plan to market our products worldwide, targeting vehicle manufacturers and Tier-1 companies (that integrate solutions and
products into the vehicle manufacturing process) with our OEM integrated solutions, and the commercial fleets (trucks and other vehicles)
and public transportation companies with our aftermarket solutions.
In order to expand the commercialization
of our technologies and solutions, we intend to:
|
● |
Increase the marketing
and sales efforts of our SaverOne Generation 2.0 solution, which is aftermarket solution that is deployed for private vehicles,
commercial trucks and buses. |
|
● |
Complete the development
of our OEM solution. The aim of our OEM solution is that it will be directly integrated into the vehicle manufacturing process
for seamless integration in the driving experience. |
|
● |
Advance our commercialization
efforts and infrastructure. We are advancing our commercialization efforts and infrastructure, including increasing our sales
presence globally. As we have completed the development of our Generation 2.0 and advance our OEM solution, we intend to enlarge
the production process, and to turn to potential customers, directly and/or through third-party distributors. |
|
● |
Complete the development
of our ADAS VRU solution. The aim of our VRU solution is that it will be directly integrated into the vehicle manufacturing process
for seamless integration in the driving experience, assisting with preventing collisions between vehicles and pedestrians or other
road users. |
|
● |
Form alliances with
industry leaders (i.e. vehicle integrators, components manufacturers) and OEMs. We plan to expand our collaboration with OEMs
and Tier-1 companies in order to integrate the SaverOne solution directly into the vehicle manufacturing process for seamless integration
in the driving experience. |
|
● |
Monitor and assist governmental
regulatory initiatives for enforcing implementation of driver distraction prevention systems in the vehicle. We intend to approach
regulators around the globe such as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) and the NHTSA in the US, in order
to present the SaverOne solution, which we believe will help advance broad adoption of regulations that will require vehicles to
implement our solution. |
Recent Transactions
The Prior SEPA
On June 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Standby
Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Prior SEPA”) with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to
Yorkville from time to time up to $10,000,000, or the Commitment Amount of the ADSs during 48-months, at a price equal to 95% of
the lowest of the 3 daily VWAPs (VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of our ADSs for such
trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.).
Upon the execution of the Prior SEPA, Yorkville,
advanced to the Company $2,000,000 (approximately NIS 7,170 thousand) of the Commitment Amount (the “Promissory Note”). The
Promissory Note was issued with a 3% original issue discount, to be repaid in 10 monthly installments beginning on the 60th day following
the date of the Promissory Note’s execution either in cash or the proceeds of an advance, with a maturity date of 12 months from
the date of the issuance, and bearing an annual 8% interest rate.
On December 11, 2023, the Company and Yorkville
entered into a first amendment to the Prior SEPA pursuant to which Yorkville, upon the Company’s request, agreed to advance to
the Company $1,000,000 (approximately NIS 3,708 before issuance costs of approximately NIS 111) of the Commitment Amount, which was evidenced
by the Second Promissory Note. The Second Promissory Note accrued an interest at a rate of 8%, was issued with a 3% original issue discount
and was required be repaid in 5 equal monthly installments beginning on the 150th day following the execution date of the Second Promissory
Note. On May 8, 2024 the parties agreed that the Maturity Date in respect of the Second Promissory Note shall be extended to July 8,
2024. As the date of this Prospectus, the Second Promissory Note was fully repaid.
On March 25, 2024, the Company entered into a
second amendment to the Prior SEPA under which the Commitment Amount was increased from original amount of $10,000,000 to an updated
amount of $15,000,000.
SEPA - See the section titled “The
Yorkville Transaction” for a description of the transaction contemplated by the SEPA.
Unsecured Non-Convertible Promissory Note
On November 11, 2024, the Company issued to Yorkville,
an unsecured non-convertible promissory note (the “November 24 Promissory Note”) in the original principal amount of $1,000,000
(the “Principal Amount”). The November 24 Promissory Note will mature on November 11, 2025, bears an interest at a rate of
8%, and was issued with a 3% original issue discount. Pursuant to the terms of the November 24 Promissory Note, it will be repaid in
10 equal monthly installments beginning on the 90th day from the date of the issuance.
The outstanding Principal Amount and the accrued
interest under the November 24 Promissory Note may be repaid in cash or with the proceeds of an Advance under the SEPA.
Recent Developments Affecting Our Business
In October 2023, Hamas terrorists
infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas
also launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the
Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, and Hamas additionally
kidnapped many Israeli civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and commenced
a military campaign against Hamas and other terrorist organizations in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks, which included
call-up reservists for active military duty in the Israel Defense Forces. As a result, one member of management and a few employees were
called for military reserve duty. To date, our member of management and the majority of employees who were initially called for active
duty have since been released. The remaining employees that are still in military reserve duty do not perform critical functions for
us. Our executive offices are located in Petah Tikvah, Israel, which is not near Israel’s borders where the main hostilities are
currently taking place.
Recent Development Regarding Nasdaq Compliance
On May 17, 2024, we received notification from the Nasdaq Staff that
the closing bid price for our ADSs was below $1.000 per ADS for the previous 31 consecutive business days, and that the Company no longer
meets the Minimum Bid Requirement under the Rule. The Nasdaq Staff granted the Company a new compliance period of 180 calendar days, or
until November 13, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On October 28, 2024, the Company effected the Reverse
Stock Split. To regain compliance with the Rule, the Company’s ADSs needed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more
for at least 10 consecutive business days. On November 12, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that for the 10 consecutive business
days, from October 28 to November 11, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company’s ADSs has been at $1.00 per share or greater and
that the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and this matter is now closed.
Corporate Information
Our main business
activities are conducted in Israel. Our corporate headquarters are located at Em Hamoshavot Rd. 94. Petah Tikvah, Israel, where we currently
occupy approximately 495 square meters. We lease our facilities and our lease ends on June 30, 2027. Our current monthly rent payment
is NIS 49,000 (approximately $13,500).
We consider that our current
office space is sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for the foreseeable future and is suitable for the conduct of our business.
Summary of Risks
Our
business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors”
below and other risk factors contained in the documents incorporated by reference hereinbefore deciding whether to invest in our securities.
These risks include, among others, the following:
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition
and Capital Requirements
|
● |
We are an early commercialization
stage company and have a limited operating history on which to assess the prospects for our business, have incurred significant losses
since the date of our inception, and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses until we are able to successfully
commercialize our products. |
|
● |
We have not generated any
significant revenue from the sale of our current products and may never be profitable. |
|
● |
We expect that we will
need to raise substantial additional capital before we can expect to become profitable from sales of our products. This additional
capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to
delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations. |
Risks Related to
Our Business and Industry
|
● |
We are currently in the
early commercialization stage and we depend entirely on the success of our current SaverOne systems that we have started to commercialize
and that we may further develop. |
|
● |
We may not be able to introduce
products acceptable to customers, improve the technology used in our current systems in response to changing technology and end-user
needs and we may not be able to successfully manage our planned growth and expansion. |
|
● |
Our operating results and
financial condition may fluctuate. |
|
● |
The markets in which we
participate are competitive. Even if we are successful in completing the development of our products in development, our failure
to compete successfully could cause any future revenues and the demand for our products not to materialize or to decline over time. |
|
● |
If our relationships with
suppliers for our products and services were to terminate or our manufacturing arrangements were to be disrupted, our business could
be interrupted. |
|
● |
Our future success depends
in part on our ability to retain our executive officers and to attract, retain and motivate other qualified personnel. |
|
● |
We are subject to cybersecurity
risks to our various systems and software and any material failure, weakness, interruption, cyber event, incident or breach of security
could prevent us from effectively operating our business, or may cause harm to our business that may or may not be reparable. |
|
● |
Our products will be subject
to automotive regulations due to the global quality requirements, which could prevent us from marketing our products to vehicle manufacturers. |
|
● |
Any resurgence of the COVID-19
pandemic could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
Risks Related to
Our Intellectual Property
|
● |
If we are unable to obtain
and maintain effective intellectual property rights or proprietary rights for our products, we may not be able to compete effectively
in our markets. |
|
● |
Intellectual property rights
of third parties could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products, and we might be required to litigate or obtain
licenses from third parties in order to develop or market our SaverOne systems. Such litigation or licenses could be costly or not
available on commercially reasonable terms. |
Risks Related to
the Ownership of our ADSs or Our Ordinary Shares
|
● |
Sales of a substantial
number of ADSs representing our ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause our share price to
fall. |
|
● |
Holders of ADSs are not
ordinary shareholders and must act through the depositary to exercise their rights. |
|
● |
We may have been a “passive
foreign investment company”, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes in 2023 and may be a PFIC in any subsequent taxable
year. There generally would be negative tax consequences for U.S. taxpayers that are holders of our ADSs or our ordinary shares if
we are or were to become a PFIC. |
Risks Related to
Israeli Law and Our Incorporation, Location and Operations in Israel
|
● |
Our headquarters, research
and development and other significant operations are located in Israel, and, therefore, our results may be adversely affected by
political, economic and military instability in Israel. |
|
● |
We are exposed to fluctuations
in currency exchange rates. |
|
● |
Provisions of Israeli law
and our amended and restated articles of association may delay, prevent or otherwise impede a merger with, or an acquisition of,
our company, which could prevent a change of control, even when the terms of such a transaction are favorable to us and our shareholders. |
|
● |
It may be difficult to
enforce a judgment of a United States court against us and our officers and directors in Israel or the United States, to assert United
States securities laws claims in Israel or to serve process on our officers and directors. |
General Risk Factors
|
● |
Raising additional capital
would cause dilution to our existing shareholders and may affect the rights of existing shareholders. |
|
● |
If securities or industry
analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they adversely change
their recommendations or publish negative reports regarding our business or our shares, our ADSs or ordinary shares price and trading
volume could decline. |
|
● |
We have identified a material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and we may not be able to successfully implement remedial measures. |
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
and a Foreign Private Issuer
We are an “emerging
growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other
burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
|
● |
to the extent that we no
longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, (i) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic
reports and proxy statements and (ii) exemptions from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation,
including golden parachute compensation; |
|
● |
an exemption from the auditor
attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002; and |
|
● |
an exemption from compliance with the requirement that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has adopted regarding a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements. |
We intend to take advantage
of these exemptions for up to five years or until such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease
to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual
gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible
debt during the previous three years; (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the
SEC; or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our IPO (i.e., December 31, 2027). We may choose
to take advantage of some but not all of these exemptions.
We are also considered a
“foreign private issuer.” Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign
private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to United States
domestic public companies, including:
|
● |
the sections of the Exchange
Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Exchange Act; |
|
● |
the requirement to comply
with Regulation FD, which restricts selective disclosure of material information; |
|
● |
the sections of the Exchange
Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit
from trades made in a short period of time; and |
|
● |
the rules under the Exchange
Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information,
or current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events. |
We may take advantage of
these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such
time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances
applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of
our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States.
Both foreign private issuers
and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if we no
longer qualify as an emerging growth company, but remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent
compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither an emerging growth company nor a foreign private issuer. As a result,
we do not know if some investors will find our ADSs less attractive, which may result in a less active trading market for our ADSs or
more volatility in the price of our ADSs.

aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000. As of the date of this prospectus, we received approximately $3.63 million aggregate gross proceeds
under the SEPA II; however we are unable to estimate the actual total amount of proceeds that we may receive under the SEPA in the future,
as it will depend on a number of factors, including the frequency and prices at which we issue Ordinary Shares to Yorkville, market conditions
and the trading price of our Ordinary Shares and ADSs, our ability to meet the conditions set forth in the SEPA, and determinations by
us as to the appropriate sources of funding for our company and our operations.
We expect to use the net proceeds that we
receive from issuances of our ADSs to Yorkville, if any, under the SEPA to repay indebtedness to Yorkville and for working capital
and general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” |

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities
involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described in our 2023 Annual Report which are incorporated by
reference herein, as well as the financial and other information included in this prospectus or incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
including our financial statements and related notes, before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks occur,
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the
market price of our securities could decline and you could lose some or all of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Financial Conditions
The Company is currently
in the early commercialization stage and has not yet generated sufficient revenues from the sale of Saverone systems. We have experienced
net losses in every period since the inception of SaverOne. We have incurred losses in each year since our inception, including net losses
of NIS 33.8 million (approximately $9.3 million), NIS 25 million (approximately $7.1 million) and NIS 26.5 million (approximately $7.5
million) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of
NIS 135.6 million (approximately $37.4 million). As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of NIS 151,894 and it had a comprehensive
loss of NIS 16,284 for the period of six months ended June 30, 2024.
Until we can generate significant
recurring revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financing. While we plan to finance its operations
through sale of equity (including using SEPA as described in the Prospectus) and through increasing our revenues from product sales;
however, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in obtaining the necessary financing or generating sufficient revenues from product
sales to meet our current obligations and to achieve its business targets.
Those conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue its business operations in accordance with the Company’s plans. The unaudited
financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or
development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to our products.
Risks Related to
the Offering and Investment in our Securities
It is not possible to predict the actual
number of ADSs we will sell under the SEPA to the Selling Shareholder, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.
On July 16, 2024, we entered
into the SEPA with Yorkville, pursuant to which Yorkville has committed to purchase up to $15.0 million in ordinary shares represented
by ADSs, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA. s of the date of this Prospectus, we sold 126,363,290 Ordinary
Shares represented by 1,404,037 ADSs. The ADSs that may be issued under the SEPA may be sold by us to Yorkville at our discretion from
time to time during the Commitment Period.
Additional sales of our ADSs,
if any, to Yorkville under the SEPA will depend upon market conditions and other factors.
Because the purchase price
per share to be paid by Yorkville for the ADSs that we may elect to sell to Yorkville under the SEPA, if any, will fluctuate based on
the market prices of our ADSs during the applicable pricing period for each purchase made pursuant to the SEPA, if any, it is not possible
for us to predict, as of the date of this prospectus and prior to any such sales, the number of ADSs that we will sell to Yorkville under
the SEPA, the purchase price per share that Yorkville will pay for securities purchased from us under the SEPA, or the aggregate gross
proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by SEPA under the SEPA, if any.
Limitations in the SEPA,
including the ownership limitation, and our ability to meet the conditions necessary to deliver an advance notice, could prevent us from
being able to raise funds.
Moreover, although the SEPA
provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of our ADSs to Yorkville, we previously registered for resale under the
Initial Registration Statement only 187,500,000 Ordinary Shares represented by 2,083,333 ADSs, of which we issued to Yorkville 126,363,290
Ordinary Shares represented by 1,404,037, and we are registering additional 270,000,000 Ordinary Shares under this Prospectus represented
by 3,000,000 ADSs. Even if we elect to sell to Yorkville all of the remaining Ordinary Shares registered under the Prior Registration
Statement and all Ordinary Shares that are being registered for resale under this Prospectus, depending on the market prices of our ADSs
at the time of such sales, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the $15.0 million
under the SEPA II, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity.
If we desire to issue and
sell to Yorkville under the SEPA more than the a number of ADSs in excess of the securities being registered for resale under this Prospectus
and the Initial Registration Statement, and the ownership limitation and other limitations in the SEPA would allow us to do so, we would
need to file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register additional Ordinary Shares under the Securities
Act the resale by Yorkville of any such additional ADSs and the SEC would have to declare such registration statement or statements effective
before we could sell additional ADSs.
Any issuance and sale by
us under the SEPA of a substantial amount of ADSs in addition to the ADSs being registered for resale by Yorkville under this Prospectus
could cause additional substantial dilution to our shareholders. The number of our ADSs ultimately offered for sale by Yorkville is dependent
upon the ADSs, if any, we ultimately sell to Yorkville under the SEPA.
The resale by Yorkville of
a significant amount of shares registered for resale in this offering at any given time, or the perception that these sales may occur,
could cause the market price of our ADSs to decline and to be highly volatile.
Investors who buy ADSs at different times will likely pay different
prices.
Pursuant to the SEPA, we
will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold to Yorkville. If and when we do
elect to sell ADSs to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA, Yorkville may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time
to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from Yorkville in this offering at different
times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial
dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase
from Yorkville in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to Yorkville at prices lower than the prices such investors paid
for their shares in this offering.
We may require additional financing to sustain our operations
and without it we will not be able to continue operations.
The extent to which we rely
on Yorkville as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our ADSs, our ability
to meet the conditions necessary to deliver Advance Notices under the SEPA, the impacts of the ownership limitation and the extent to
which we are able to secure funding from other sources. Regardless of the amount of funds we ultimately raise under the SEPA, if any,
we expect to continue to seek other sources of funding. Even if we were to sell to Yorkville the total amount under the SEPA, we expect
that we will need additional capital to fully implement our business plan.
The sale of a substantial amount of our
Ordinary Shares or ADSs, including resale of the held by the Selling Shareholder in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing
market price of our ADSs.
We are registering for resale
under this Prospectus 270,000,000 Ordinary Shares represented by 3,000,000 ADSs under the SEPA from time to time during the commitment
period, subject to the restrictions and satisfaction of the conditions in the SEPA, if and when we determine to sell additional ordinary
shares represented by ADSs to Yorkville under the SEPA.
Sales of substantial amounts
of shares of our Ordinary Shares or ADSs in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect
the market price of our ordinary shares, and the market value of our other securities. We cannot predict if and when the selling shareholder
may sell such shares in the public markets. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional ordinary shares or ADSs or other equity
or debt securities convertible into ordinary shares or ADSs. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders
and could cause our share price to decline.
Our headquarters,
research and development and other significant operations are located in Israel, and, therefore, our results may be adversely affected
by political, economic and military instability in Israel.
Our
executive office is located in Petah Tikvah, Israel. In addition, the majority of our key employees and all of our officers and directors
are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in the Middle East may affect our business directly.
Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its neighboring
countries and terrorist organizations active in the region, including Hamas (an Islamist militia and political group in the Gaza Strip)
and Hezbollah (an Islamist militia and political group in Lebanon).
In
particular, in October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of
attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers
located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in thousands
of deaths and injuries, and Hamas additionally kidnapped many Israeli civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security
cabinet declared war against Hamas and commenced a military campaign against Hamas and these terrorist organizations in parallel continued
rocket and terror attacks. As a result of the events of October 7, 2023, the Israeli government declared that the country was at war
and the Israeli military began to call-up reservists for active duty. As a result, one member of management and a few employees were
called for military reserve duty. To date, our member of management and the majority of employees who were initially called for active
duty have since been released. The remaining employees that are still in military reserve duty do not perform critical functions for
us. It is possible that there will be further or longer military reserve duty call-ups in the future, which may affect our business due
to a shortage of skilled labor and loss of institutional knowledge, and necessary mitigation measures we may take to respond to a decrease
in labor availability, such as overtime and third-party outsourcing, for example, which may have unintended negative effects and adversely
impact our results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
In
addition, since the commencement of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon
(with the Hezbollah terror organization) and southern border (with the Houthi movement in Yemen). However , as of the date of this Prospectus,
a ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel and Hezbollah with sporadic breaches. It is possible that hostilities with Hezbollah
in Lebanon will escalate notwithstanding such ceasefire agreement, and that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian military
organizations in the West Bank as well as other hostile countries, such as Iran, will join the hostilities. Such clashes may escalate
in the future into a greater regional conflict. In addition, Iran has threatened to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing
nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah
in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. These situations may potentially escalate
in the future to more violent events which may affect Israel and us. Any hostilities, armed conflicts, terrorist activities involving
Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners, or any political instability in the region
could adversely affect business conditions and our results of operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital and
could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary share. An escalation of tensions or violence might result in a significant downturn
in the economic or financial condition of Israel, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations in Israel and our business.
Parties with whom we do business have sometimes declined to travel to Israel during periods of heightened unrest or tension, forcing
us to make alternative arrangements when necessary in order to meet our business partners face to face. In addition, the political and
security situation in Israel may result in parties with whom we have agreements involving performance in Israel claiming that they are
not obligated to perform their commitments under those agreements pursuant to force majeure provisions in such agreements. Our business
interruption insurance may not adequately compensate us for losses, if at all, that may occur as a result of an event associated with
a security situation in the Middle East, and any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Since
the war broke out on October 7, 2023, our operations have not been adversely affected by this situation, and we have not experienced
disruptions to our business operations. As such, our product and business development activities remain on track. However, the intensity
and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict at this stage, as are such war’s economic implications
on our business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general. If the war extends for a long period of time or expands to other
fronts, such as Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank, our operations may be adversely affected.
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 has in the past covered the reinstatement value of certain damages that were 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.
Our business interruption insurance may not adequately compensate us for losses, if at all, that may occur as a result of an event associated
with a security situation in the Middle East, and any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Finally,
political conditions within Israel may affect our operations. Israel has held five general elections between 2019 and 2022, and prior
to October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system, which sparked extensive political
debate and unrest. To date, these initiatives have been substantially put on hold. Actual or perceived political instability in Israel
or any negative changes in the political environment, may individually or in the aggregate adversely affect the Israeli economy and,
in turn, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Our operations
may be disrupted as a result of the obligation of management or key personnel to perform military service.
Our
employees and consultants in Israel, including members of our senior management, may be obligated to perform one month, and in some cases
longer periods, of military reserve duty until they reach the age of 40 (or older, for citizens who hold certain positions in the Israeli
armed forces reserves) 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. It is possible that there will be similar large-scale
military reserve duty call-ups in the future. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of our officers,
directors, employees and consultants. Such disruption could materially adversely affect our business and operations.

THE YORKVILLE TRANSACTION
On July 16, 2024, we entered
into the SEPA, pursuant to which Yorkville has committed to purchase up to $15.0 million of our ADSs at our direction from time
to time during the commitment period, subject to the restrictions and satisfaction of the conditions in the SEPA.
Pursuant to the SEPA, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to issue an Advance to Yorkville, and
Yorkville has the obligation to subscribe for the Company’s ADSs for an aggregate subscription amount of up to the Commitment Amount,
at any time from the date of the SEPA until July 16, 2027, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the SEPA (the “Commitment Period”),
by delivering an Advance Notice to Yorkville . As described below, without Yorkville’s consent, the Company does not have the right
to require Yorkville to subscribe for any ADSs if a balance remains outstanding under the promissory notes issued to Yorkville, unless
an Amortization Event has occurred and the proceeds of any Advance is applied towards repayment of a balance under those promissory notes.
Yorkville agreed to advance
to the Company the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), evidenced by the Promissory Notes, which
are convertible into Company’s ADSs. The first Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $1,000,000 was advanced on July 17,
2024. The second Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $1,000,000 was advanced on July 26, 2024, the date of the filing of the
Initial Registration Statement and the third Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $1,000,000 was advanced to the Company on
August 8, 2024, the second trading day after the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement. Each Pre-Paid Advance
was subject to a 3% discount of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance.
Principal, interest and any
other payments due under the Promissory Notes shall be paid in cash on January 16, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), unless converted
by Yorkville or redeemed by the Company. Except as specifically permitted by the terms of the Promissory Notes, the Company may not prepay
or redeem any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder. Subject to the terms set forth in the
Promissory Notes, at any time on or after the issuance date, Yorkville shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding principal
of the Promissory Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such outstanding principal of the Promissory Notes (such amount, the “Conversion
Amount”) into ADSs at the Conversion Price. The number of ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Conversion Amount will be determined
by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the lower of (i) $9.51 per ADS, or (ii) 95% of the lowest daily VWAP during
the 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date or other date of determination (the “Conversion Price”),
but not lower than the Floor Price. The Conversion Price will be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Promissory Notes.
The Company has the option
to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Promissory Notes, provided that the Company provides Yorkville with prior written
notice of its desire to do so. Each redemption will be irrevocable. In addition to the amount of the outstanding principal and all accrued
and unpaid interest on such principal amount, the Company has to pay a 10% premium.
The Company is required to
make monthly payments under the Promissory Notes of $500,000 of principal, or the outstanding principal if less than such amount, plus
10%, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being paid if there is an Amortization Event. Unless waived by Yorkville,
an Amortization Event occurs if the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price then in effect for three trading days during a period of five
consecutive trading days (a “Floor Price Event”), or (ii) if Yorkville cannot use the registration statement to sell
ADSs. Our obligation to pay these monthly payments will terminate if (i) the Company resets the floor price which shall be no more than
50% of the closing price on the trading day immediate before such reset (and cannot be greater than the Floor Price then in effect), (ii)
the daily VWAP is greater than 110% of the Floor Price then in effect for 10 consecutive days, or (iii) Yorkville can use the registration
statement to sell its ADSs. Yorkville has waived, through January 2025, any Amortization Event under the SEPA as a result of a Floor Price
Event.
Yorkville may declare the
full unpaid principal amount of the Promissory Notes, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, immediately
due and payable in cash upon the occurrence of certain specified events of default and mandatory prepayment events. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any event of default, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Debenture
at a rate of 18% per annum.
At any time that a balance
under a Promissory Note is outstanding, Yorkville may, by providing written notice to the Company (an “Investor Notice”),
require the Company to issue and sell shares to Yorkville as set out in the relevant Investor Notice, subject to certain limitations
as set forth in the SEPA. The purchase price of the shares delivered pursuant to an Investor Notice shall be equal to the Conversion
Price then in effect and shall be paid by offsetting the amount of the aggregate purchase price to be paid by Yorkville against an equal
amount outstanding under the Promissory Note.
The SEPA does not require
Yorkville to subscribe for or acquire any ADSs or Ordinary Shares under the SEPA if those ADS, when aggregated with all other ADSs or
Ordinary Shares acquired by Yorkville under the SEPA, would result in Yorkville beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the then outstanding
ADSs or Ordinary Shares.
Conditions to Delivery of Advance Notices
Our ability to deliver Advance
Notices to Yorkville under the SEPA is subject to the restrictions set forth in the SEPA and the satisfaction of certain conditions set
forth in the SEPA, all of which are entirely outside of Yorkville’s control, including, among other things, the following:
|
● |
the Company shall, in its
sole discretion, select the number of Advance Shares, not to exceed the Maximum Advance Amount (unless otherwise agreed to in writing
by the Company and the Investor), it desires to issue and sell to the Investor in each Advance Notice, the time it desires to deliver
each Advance Notice; |
|
● |
there shall be no mandatory
minimum Advances and there shall be no non-usages fee for not utilizing the Commitment Amount or any part thereof; and |
|
● |
for so long as any amount
remains outstanding under a Promissory Note, without the prior written consent of the Investor, (A) the Company may only (other than
with respect to a deemed Advance Notice pursuant to an Investor Notice) submit an Advance Notice if an Amortization Event has occurred
and the obligation of the Company to make monthly prepayments under the Promissory Note has not ceased, and (B) the Investor shall
pay the aggregate purchase price owed to the Company from such Advances (“Advance Proceeds”) by offsetting the amount
of the Advance Proceeds against an equal amount outstanding under the subject Promissory Note (first towards accrued and unpaid interest,
and then towards outstanding principal and the corresponding payment premium (as set forth in the subject Promissory Note) in respect
of such principal amount, if applicable) |
In addition, at any time
that a balance under a Promissory Note is outstanding, Yorkville may, by providing written notice to the Company (an “Investor
Notice”), require the Company to issue and sell shares to Yorkville as set out in the relevant Investor Notice, subject to certain
limitations as set forth in the SEPA. The purchase price of the shares delivered pursuant to an Investor Notice shall be equal to
the Conversion Price then in effect and shall be paid by offsetting the amount of the aggregate purchase price to be paid by Yorkville
against an equal amount outstanding under the Promissory Note.
No Short-Selling or Hedging by Yorkville
Yorkville has agreed that,
during the term of the SEPA, neither Yorkville or its affiliates will engage in any short sales or hedging transactions with respect
to our ADSs or ordinary shares, provided that Yorkville and its affiliates may enter into Permitted Sales.
Prohibitions on Variable Rate Transactions
There are no restrictions
on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the SEPA other than a prohibition
on our entering into certain types of transactions that are defined in the SEPA as “Variable Rate Transactions.”
Termination of the SEPA
Unless earlier terminated
as provided in the SEPA, the SEPA will terminate automatically on the earliest to occur of: (i) the 36-month anniversary of
the Effective Date, provided that if the Promissory Note is then outstanding, such termination shall be delayed until such date that
the Promissory Note that was outstanding has been repaid, or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have made payment of Advances
pursuant to this Agreement for ADSs equal to the Commitment Amount.
We have the right to terminate
this Agreement effective upon five Trading Days’ prior written notice to the Investor; provided that (i) there are no outstanding
Advance Notices under which Shares have yet to be issued, (ii) there is not an outstanding Promissory Note, and (iii) the Company has
paid all amounts owed to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the mutual written
consent of the parties, effective as of the date of such mutual written consent unless otherwise provided in such written consent.
Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement
on our Shareholders
All ADSs that may be issued
or sold by us to Yorkville under the SEPA that are being registered under the Securities Act for resale by Yorkville under this prospectus
are expected to be freely tradable. The securities being registered for resale in this offering may be issued and sold by us to Yorkville
from time to time at our discretion over a period of up to 36 months commencing on the date of execution of the SEPA. The resale by Yorkville
of a significant amount of ADSs registered for resale in this offering at any given time, or the perception that these sales may occur,
could cause the market price of our ADSs to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our ADSs, if any, to Yorkville under the SEPA
will depend upon market conditions and other factors. We may ultimately decide to sell to Yorkville all, some or none of our ADSs that
may be available for us to sell to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA.
Depending on market prices
of our ADSs and subject to the Ownership Limitation and other limitations in the SEPA, we may seek to issue and sell to Yorkville under
the SEPA more Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs than are offered under this prospectus in order to receive the aggregate gross proceeds
equal to the $15.0 million Commitment Amount under the SEPA. If we choose to do so, we must first register for resale under the Securities
Act any such additional ordinary shares represented by ADSs, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our shareholders. The
number of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs ultimately offered for resale under this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares
we direct Yorkville to purchase under the SEPA.
Although the SEPA provides
that we may sell up to $15.0 million of our ADSs to Yorkville, we have previously registered 187,500,000 Ordinary Shares represented by
2,083,333 of our ADSs, of which we issued 126,363,290 Ordinary Shares represented by 1,404,037 ADSs as of the date of this Prospectus.
The Prospectus is filed with the Commission to register for resale additional 270,000,000 Ordinary Shares represented by 3,000,000 ADS
under the SEPA that may issue to Yorkville from time to time during the Commitment Period, subject to the restrictions and satisfaction
of the conditions in the SEPA for resale under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, which may or may not cover
all the ordinary shares represented by ADSs we ultimately sell to Yorkville under the SEPA, depending on the purchase price per share.
The following table sets
forth the amount of gross proceeds we may receive from Yorkville from our sale of up to 270,000,000 Ordinary Shares represented by 3,000,000
ADSs that we have issued and sold or may issue and sell to Yorkville in the future under the SEPA assuming that all such ADSs are sold
at varying purchase prices designated below:

USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to
our Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs that may be offered and sold from time to time by Yorkville. All of our Ordinary Shares represented
by ADSs offered by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Shareholder for its own account. We
will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.
We may receive up to $15.0 million
aggregate gross proceeds under the SEPA from any sales of ADSs we make to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA. At the date of this Prospectus,
we received approximately $3.63 million aggregate gross proceeds under the SEPA. However, we are unable to estimate the actual amount
of proceeds that we may receive in the future, as it will depend on the number of ADSs that we choose to sell, our ability to meet the
conditions to purchases set forth in the SEPA, market conditions and the price of our ADSs, among other factors.
We expect to use any proceeds
that we receive under the SEPA to repay outstanding indebtedness owed to Yorkville, for global sales and marketing expansion, research
and development, working capital, general corporate purposes and possible future acquisitions. As of the date of this prospectus, we
cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses, and the respective amounts we may allocate to those uses, for any net proceeds
we receive. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds.
Our expected use of net proceeds
under the SEPA represents our current intentions based on our present plans and business condition, which could change in the future
as our plans and business conditions evolve. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty any or all of the particular
uses for the net proceeds to be received under the SEPA, or the amounts, if any, that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above.
The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds may vary depending on numerous factors, including our ability to obtain
additional financing and changes we may make to our development plan. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the application
of the net proceeds, which may include uses not set forth above, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application
of the net proceeds from this offering.
Pending our use of proceeds
from the SEPA, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in a variety of investment-grade instruments and/or to hold such
proceeds as cash or interest-bearing deposits, in the currencies in which we expect to make payment.

SELLING SHAREHOLDER
This prospectus relates to
the possible resale from time to time by Yorkville of any or all of the ADSs that are to be issued by us to Yorkville under the SEPA.
For additional information regarding the issuance of ADSs covered by this prospectus, see the section titled “The Yorkville Transaction”
above. Except for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement with Yorkville, which was terminated as a result of the SEPA,
Yorkville does not, and has not had, any material relationship with us.
The table below presents
information regarding the Selling Shareholder and the shares ADSs that it may offer from time to time under this prospectus. This table
is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Shareholder. The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number
of ADSs to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus” represents all of the ADSs that the Selling Shareholder may offer under this
prospectus. The Selling Shareholder may sell some, all or none of its shares in this offering. We do not know how long the Selling Shareholder
will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Shareholder
regarding the sale of any of the shares.
The beneficial ownership
of our ordinary shares is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. See “Principal Shareholders” for additional
information.
Each ADS represents ninety (90) of our ordinary shares. The percentage
of ADSs beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholder prior to this Offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of 226,283,076
Ordinary shares outstanding on December 6, 2024. The number of ADSs that may actually be sold by us under the SEPA in this Offering may
be fewer than the number of ADSs being offered by this Prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the ADSs offered by the
Selling Shareholder pursuant to this prospectus.

Although the SEPA provides that we may sell up to $15 million of our ADSs to Yorkville, we have registered 187,500,000 Ordinary Shares represented by 2,083,333 ADSs, out of which we issued 126,363,290 Ordinary Shares, and now are registering additional 270,000,000 Ordinary Shares represented by 1,404,037 ADSs that we may sell to Yorkville under the SEPA from time to time. Depending on the price per ADS at which we sell the Advance Shares to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA, we may need to sell to Yorkville under the SEPA more ADSs than are offered under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $15.0 million Commitment Amount under the SEPA. If we choose to do so and otherwise satisfy the conditions in the SEPA, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act such additional ADSs. |

by another instrument, applicable law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the shares are listed for trade. The ownership or voting
of our ordinary shares by non-residents of Israel is not restricted in any way by our articles of association or the laws of the State
of Israel, except for ownership by nationals of some countries that are, or have been, in a state of war with Israel.
Election of directors
Our ordinary shares do not
have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. As a result, the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at
a shareholders meeting have the power to elect all of our directors, subject to the special approval requirements for external directors
under the Companies Law described under “Management — External directors.”
Under our articles of association,
our board of directors must consist of no less than three but no more than 12 directors, including external directors. 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 new directors to fill in vacancies which can occur for any reason or as additional
directors, provided that the number of board members shall not exceed the maximum number of directors mentioned above. The appointment
of a director by the board shall be in effect until the following annual general meeting of the shareholders or until the end of the
director’s tenure in accordance with our articles of association.
Our external directors have
a term of office of three years under Israeli law and may be elected for up to two additional three-year terms under the circumstances
described above. External directors may be removed from office only under the limited circumstances set forth in the Companies Law.
Dividend and liquidation rights
We may declare a dividend
to be paid to the holders of our ordinary shares in proportion to their respective shareholdings. Under the Companies Law, dividend distributions
are determined by the board of directors and do not require the approval of the shareholders of a company unless the company’s
articles of association provide otherwise. Our articles of association do not require shareholder approval of a dividend distribution
and provide that dividend distributions may be determined by our board of directors.
Pursuant to the Companies
Law, the distribution amount is limited to the greater of retained earnings or earnings generated over the previous two years, according
to our then last reviewed or audited financial statements, provided that the date of the financial statements is not more than six months
prior to the date of the distribution, or we may distribute dividends that do not meet such criteria only with court approval. In each
case, we are only permitted to distribute a dividend if our board of directors and the court, if applicable, determines that there is
no reasonable concern that payment of the dividend will prevent us from satisfying our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become
due. As of December 31, 2023, we did not have distributable earnings pursuant to the Companies Law.
In the event of our liquidation,
after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders of our ordinary shares in proportion to
their shareholdings. This right, as well as the right to receive dividends, may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or
distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future. For more information,
see “Dividend Policy.”
Exchange controls
There are currently no Israeli
currency control restrictions on remittances of dividends on our ordinary shares, proceeds from the sale of the shares or interest or
other payments to non-residents of Israel.
Shareholder meetings
Under Israeli law, we are
required to hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders once each calendar year that must be held no later than 15 months after
the date of the previous annual general meeting. All general meetings other than the annual meeting of shareholders are referred to in
our articles of association as special meetings. Our board of directors may call special meetings whenever it sees fit, at such time
and place, within or outside of Israel, as it may determine. In addition, the Companies Law provides that our board of directors is required
to convene a special meeting upon the written request of (i) any two of our directors or one-quarter of the members of our board of directors
or (ii) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, either (a) 5% or more of our outstanding issued shares and 1% or more of
our outstanding voting power or (b) 5% or more of our outstanding voting power.
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. Also, one or more shareholders holding at least 5% of our voting rights may request that we convene an extraordinary general
meeting of shareholders.
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 no less than 28 days and no more than
40 days prior to the date of the meeting. Furthermore, the Companies Law requires that resolutions regarding the following matters must
be passed at a general meeting of our shareholders:
| ● | amendments
to our articles of association; |
|
● |
appointment or termination
of our auditors; |
|
● |
appointment of external
directors; |
|
● |
approval of certain related
party transactions; |
|
● |
increases or reductions
of our authorized share capital; |
|
● |
the exercise of our board
of director’s powers by 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. |
Under our articles of association,
we are required to publish notice of any annual or special general meeting in two widely-published, Hebrew-language daily newspapers,
or on our website and are not required to give notice of any annual general meeting or special general meeting to our registered shareholders,
unless otherwise required by law. The Companies Law requires that a notice of any annual general meeting or special general meeting be
provided to our shareholders at least 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, or an approval of a merger, or as otherwise
required under applicable law, notice must be provided at least 35 days prior to the meeting. Under the Companies Law, shareholders are
not permitted to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
Voting rights
Quorum requirements
Pursuant to our articles
of association, holders of our ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote before the
shareholders at a general meeting. The quorum required for our general meetings of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders
present in person, by proxy or written ballot who hold or represent between them at least 25% of the total outstanding voting rights.
A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum is generally adjourned to the next week at the same time and place or to a different time or
date if so specified in the notice of the meeting. At the reconvened meeting, any number of shareholders present in person or by proxy
shall constitute a lawful quorum, instead of 25% otherwise required by the Companies Law.
Vote requirements
Our articles of association
provide that all resolutions of our shareholders require a simple majority vote, unless otherwise required by the Companies Law or by
our articles of association. Pursuant to our articles of association, an amendment to our articles of association regarding any change
to the board composition will require a simple majority. Under the Companies Law, each of (i) the approval of an extraordinary transaction
with a controlling shareholder and (ii) the terms of employment or other engagement of the controlling shareholder of the company or
such controlling shareholder’s relative (even if not extraordinary) requires the approval described above under “Management
— Fiduciary duties and approval of related-party transactions — Approval of related-party transactions.” Certain transactions
with respect to remuneration of our office holders and directors require further approvals described above under “Management —
Fiduciary duties and approval of related-party transactions — Director and officer compensation.” Under our articles of association,
any change to the rights and privileges of the holders of any class of our shares requires a simple majority of the class so affected
(or such other percentage of the relevant class that may be set forth in the governing documents relevant to such class), in addition
to the ordinary majority vote of all classes of shares voting together as a single class at a shareholder meeting. Another exception
to the simple majority vote requirement is a resolution for the voluntary winding up, or an approval of a scheme of arrangement or reorganization,
of the company pursuant to Section 350 of the Companies Law, which requires the approval of holders of 75% of the voting rights represented
at the meeting, in person, by proxy or by voting deed and voting on the resolution.
Access to corporate records
Under the Companies Law,
shareholders are entitled to access to minutes of our general meetings, our shareholders register and principal shareholders register,
our articles of association, our financial statements and any document that we are required by law to file publicly with the Israel Securities
Authority. In addition, shareholders may request any document related to an action or transaction requiring shareholder approval under
the related-party transaction provisions of the Companies Law. We may deny this request if we believe it has not been made in good faith
or if such denial is necessary to protect our interest or protect a trade secret or patent.
Shareholder duties
Under the Companies Law,
a shareholder has a duty to act in good faith and customary manner toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing
its power in the company. This duty applies, among other things, when voting at a meeting of shareholders on an amendment to the articles
of association, an increase of the authorized share capital, a merger or certain related-party transactions.
In addition, certain shareholders
have a duty of fairness toward the company. These shareholders include any controlling shareholder, any shareholder that knows that it
possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote and any shareholder who, under our articles of association, has the
power to appoint or to prevent the appointment of a director or officer of the company or to exercise another power with respect to the
company. The Companies Law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness. However, a shareholder’s breach of the duty
of fairness is subject to laws regarding breaches of contracts and takes into account the status of such shareholder with respect to
the company.
Acquisitions under Israeli law
Full tender offer
A person wishing to acquire
shares of a publicly-traded company incorporated in Israel, and who would, as a result, hold over 90% of the target company’s issued
and outstanding share capital is required by the Companies Law to make a tender offer to all of the company’s shareholders for
the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the company. If the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than
5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company, and more than half of the shareholders who do not have a personal interest
in the offer accept the offer, all of the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer 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.
Upon a successful completion
of such a full tender offer, any shareholder that was an offeree in such tender offer, whether or not such shareholder accepted the tender
offer, may, within six months from the date of acceptance of the tender offer, petition an Israeli court to determine whether the tender
offer was for less than fair value and that the fair value should be paid as determined by the court. However, under certain conditions,
the offeror may include in the terms of the tender offer that an offeree who accepted the offer will not be entitled to petition the
Israeli court as described above.
If a tender offer is not
accepted in accordance with the requirements set forth above, the acquirer may not acquire shares from shareholders who accepted the
tender offer that will increase its holdings to more than 90% of the company’s issued and outstanding share capital or of the applicable
class.
Special tender offer
The Companies Law provides
that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if, as a result of the acquisition, the purchaser
would become a holder of 25% of the voting rights in the company, unless there is already a person holding 25% of the voting rights in
the company. Similarly, the Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender
offer if, as a result of the acquisition, the purchaser would become a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company, unless
there is already a person holding more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. These requirements do not apply if the acquisition
(i) occurs in the context of a private placement by the company that received shareholder approval or (ii) was from a 25% or 45% shareholder,
as the case may be. The tender offer must be extended to all shareholders, but the offeror is not required to purchase more than 5% of
the company’s outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders. The tender offer generally may be
consummated only if (i) at least 5% of the voting rights in the company will be acquired by the offeror and (ii) the number of shares
tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares whose holders objected to the offer.
Merger
The Companies Law permits
merger transactions if approved by each party’s board of directors and, unless certain requirements described under the Companies
Law are met, by a majority vote of each party’s shares.
Special rules govern a merger
with an acquiror that is already affiliated with the target. Unless a court rules otherwise, the merger must also be approved by at least
50% of the votes of the shares of the target that are held by the shareholders other than (i) the acquiror and (ii) any person (or group
of persons acting in concert) who holds 25% or more of the voting rights of the acquiror, or the right to appoint 25% or more of the
directors of the acquiror. 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 (as described under “Management — Fiduciary duties and approval
of related-party transactions— Approval of related-party transactions”). If the transaction would have been approved by the
shareholders of a merging company but for the exclusion of the votes of certain shareholders as provided above, a court may still approve
the merger upon the request of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of a company, if the court holds that the merger is fair
and reasonable, taking into account the value to the parties to the merger and the consideration offered to the shareholders of the company.
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 the merging entities, and may further
give instructions to secure the rights of creditors.
In addition, a merger may
not be consummated unless at least 50 days have passed from the date on which a proposal for approval of the merger was filed by each
party with the Israeli Registrar of Companies and at least 30 days have passed from the date on which the merger was approved by the
shareholders of each party.
Borrowing powers
Pursuant to the Companies
Law and our 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 our shareholders, including the power to borrow money for company
purposes.
Changes in capital
Our articles of association
enable us to increase or reduce our share capital. Any such changes are subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and must be approved
by a resolution duly passed by our shareholders at a general meeting. In addition, transactions that have the effect of reducing capital,
such as the declaration and payment of dividends in the absence of sufficient retained earnings or profits, require the approval of both
our board of directors and an Israeli court.
DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES
American Depositary Shares
The Bank of New York Mellon,
as depositary, will register and deliver our ADSs. Each ADS will represent ninety (90) Ordinary Shares (or a right to receive ninety
Ordinary Shares) deposited with Bank Leumi, as custodian for the depositary in Israel. Each ADS will also represent any other securities,
cash or other property which may be held by the depositary. The depositary’s office at which our ADSs will be administered is located
at the depositary’s principal executive office, at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, N.Y. 10286.
You may hold ADSs either
(A) directly (i) by having an ADR, which is a certificate evidencing a specific number of ADSs, registered in your name or (ii) by having
uncertificated ADSs registered in your name or (B) indirectly by holding a security entitlement in ADSs through your broker or other
financial institution that is a direct or indirect participant in the DTC. If you hold ADSs directly, you are a registered ADS holder,
also referred to as an ADS holder. This description assumes you are an ADS holder. If you hold our ADSs indirectly, you must rely on
the procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert the rights of ADS holders described in this section. You should
consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are.
Registered holders of uncertificated
ADSs will receive statements from the depositary confirming their holdings.
As an ADS holder, we will
not treat you as one of our shareholders and you will not have shareholder rights. Israeli law governs shareholder rights. The depositary
will be the holder of the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs. As a registered holder of ADSs, you will have ADS holder rights. A deposit
agreement among us, the depositary, ADS holders and all other persons indirectly or beneficially holding ADSs sets out ADS holder rights
as well as the rights and obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the deposit agreement and our ADSs.
The following is a summary
of the material provisions of the deposit agreement. For more complete information, you should read the entire deposit agreement and
the form of ADS. For directions on how to obtain copies of those documents see “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”
Dividends and Other Distributions
How will you receive dividends and other
distributions on the shares?
The depositary has agreed
to pay or distribute to ADS holders the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on ordinary shares or other
deposited securities, upon payment or deduction of its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number
of ordinary shares your ADSs represent.
Cash. The depositary
will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution we pay on the ordinary shares into U.S. dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable
basis and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the United States. If that is not possible or if any government approval is needed and cannot
be obtained, the deposit agreement allows the depositary to distribute the foreign currency only to those ADS holders to whom it is possible
to do so. It will hold the foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid. It will not
invest the foreign currency and it will not be liable for any interest.
Before making a distribution,
any withholding taxes or other governmental charges that must be paid will be deducted. See “Taxation and Government Programs.”
It will distribute only whole U.S. dollars and cents and will round fractional cents to the nearest whole cent. If the exchange rates
fluctuate during a time when the depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, you may lose some or all of the value of the distribution.
Shares. The depositary
may distribute additional ADSs representing any ordinary shares we distribute as a dividend or free distribution. The depositary will
only distribute whole ADSs. It will sell ordinary shares which would require it to deliver a fraction of an ADS (or ADSs representing
those ordinary shares) and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. If the depositary does not distribute additional
ADSs, the outstanding ADSs will also represent the new shares. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed ordinary shares (or
ADSs representing those ordinary shares) sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution.
Rights to purchase additional
shares. If we offer holders of our securities any rights to subscribe for additional ordinary shares or any other rights, the depositary
may (i) exercise those rights on behalf of ADS holders, (ii) distribute those rights to ADS holders or (iii) sell those rights and distribute
the net proceeds to ADS holders, in each case after deduction or upon payment of its fees and expenses. To the extent the depositary
does not do any of those things, it will allow the rights to lapse. In that case, you will receive no value for them. The depositary
will exercise or distribute rights only if we ask it to and provide satisfactory assurances to the depositary that it is legal to do
so. If the depositary will exercise rights, it will purchase the securities to which the rights relate and distribute those securities
or, in the case of ordinary shares, new ADSs representing the new ordinary shares, to subscribing ADS holders, but only if ADS holders
have paid the exercise price to the depositary. U.S. securities laws may restrict the ability of the depositary to distribute rights
or ADSs or other securities issued on exercise of rights to all or certain ADS holders, and the securities distributed may be subject
to restrictions on transfer.
Other Distributions. The
depositary will send to ADS holders anything else we distribute on deposited securities by any means it thinks is legal, fair and practical.
If it cannot make the distribution in that way, the depositary will have a choice. It may decide to sell what we distributed and distribute
the net proceeds, in the same way as it does with cash. Or, it may decide to hold what we distributed, in which case ADSs will also represent
the newly distributed property. However, the depositary is not required to distribute any securities (other than ADSs) to ADS holders
unless it receives satisfactory evidence from us that it is legal to make that distribution. The depositary may sell a portion of the
distributed securities or property sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution. U.S. securities laws
may restrict the ability of the depositary to distribute securities to all or certain ADS holders, and the securities distributed may
be subject to restrictions on transfer.
The depositary is not responsible
if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders. We have no obligation to register
ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or other securities under the Securities Act. We also have no obligation to take any other action to permit
the distribution of ADSs, shares, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that you may not receive the distributions we make
on our ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available to you.
Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation
How are ADSs issued?
The depositary will deliver
ADSs if you or your broker deposits ordinary shares or evidence of rights to receive ordinary shares with the custodian. Upon payment
of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will register
the appropriate number of ADSs in the names you request and will deliver our ADSs to or upon the order of the person or persons that
made the deposit.
How can ADS holders withdraw the deposited
securities?
You may surrender your ADSs
for the purpose of withdrawal at the depositary’s office. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such
as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will deliver the ordinary shares and any other deposited securities underlying
our ADSs to the ADS holder or a person the ADS holder designates at the office of the custodian. Or, at your request, risk and expense,
the depositary will deliver the deposited securities at its office, if feasible. The depositary may charge you a fee and its expenses
for instructing the custodian regarding delivery of deposited securities.
How do ADS holders interchange between
certificated ADSs and uncertificated ADSs?
You may surrender your ADR
to the depositary for the purpose of exchanging your ADR for uncertificated ADSs. The depositary will cancel that ADR and will send to
the ADS holder a statement confirming that the ADS holder is the registered holder of uncertificated ADSs. Alternatively, upon receipt
by the depositary of a proper instruction from a registered holder of uncertificated ADSs requesting the exchange of uncertificated ADSs
for certificated ADSs, the depositary will execute and deliver to the ADS holder an ADR evidencing those ADSs.
Voting Rights
How do you vote?
ADS holders may instruct
the depositary how to vote the number of deposited ordinary shares their ADSs represent. If we request the depositary to solicit your
voting instructions (and we are not required to do so), the depositary will notify you of a shareholders’ meeting and send or make
voting materials available to you. Those materials will describe the matters to be voted on and explain how ADS holders may instruct
the depositary how to vote. For instructions to be valid, they must reach the depositary by a date set by the depositary. The depositary
will try, as far as practical, subject to the laws of Israel and the provisions of our articles of association or similar documents,
to vote or to have its agents vote the ordinary shares or other deposited securities as instructed by ADS holders. If we do not request
the depositary to solicit your voting instructions, you can still send voting instructions, and, in that case, the depositary may try
to vote as you instruct, but it is not required to do so.
Except by instructing
the depositary as described above, you won’t be able to exercise voting rights unless you surrender your ADSs and withdraw the
ordinary shares. However, you may not know about the meeting enough in advance to withdraw the ordinary shares. In any event, the
depositary will not exercise any discretion in voting deposited securities and it will only vote or attempt to vote as instructed.
We cannot assure you that
you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your shares. In addition, the depositary
and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of carrying out voting instructions.
This means that you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and there may be nothing you can do if your ordinary shares are not
voted as you requested.
In order to give you a reasonable
opportunity to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited Securities, if we request the Depositary
to act, we agree to give the Depositary notice of any such meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon at least 45 days
in advance of the meeting date.

|
As necessary |
|
|
|
Any charges incurred by
the depositary or its agents for servicing the deposited securities |
|
As necessary |
The depositary collects its
fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing ordinary shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal
or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from
the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee
for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts
of participants acting for them. The depositary may collect any of its fees by deduction from any cash distribution payable (or by selling
a portion of securities or other property distributable) to ADS holders that are obligated to pay those fees. The depositary may generally
refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.
From time to time, the depositary
may make payments to us to reimburse us for costs and expenses generally arising out of establishment and maintenance of the ADS program,
waive fees and expenses for services provided to us by the depositary or share revenue from the fees collected from ADS holders. In performing
its duties under the deposit agreement, the depositary may use brokers, dealers, foreign currency or other service providers that are
owned by or affiliated with the depositary and that may earn or share fees, spreads or commissions.
The depositary may convert
currency itself or through any of its affiliates, or the custodian or we may convert currency and pay U.S. dollars to the depositary.
Where the depositary converts currency itself or through any of its affiliates, the depositary acts as principal for its own account
and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary on behalf of any other person and earns revenue, including, without limitation, transaction
spreads, that it will retain for its own account. The revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the exchange rate
assigned to the currency conversion made under the deposit agreement and the rate that the depositary or its affiliate receives when
buying or selling foreign currency for its own account. The depositary makes no representation that the exchange rate used or obtained
by it or its affiliate in any currency conversion under the deposit agreement will be the most favorable rate that could be obtained
at the time or that the method by which that rate will be determined will be the most favorable to ADS holders, subject to the depositary’s
obligation to act without negligence or bad faith. The methodology used to determine exchange rates used in currency conversions made
by the depositary is available upon request. Where the custodian converts currency, the custodian has no obligation to obtain the most
favorable rate that could be obtained at the time or to ensure that the method by which that rate will be determined will be the most
favorable to ADS holders, and the depositary makes no representation that the rate is the most favorable rate and will not be liable
for any direct or indirect losses associated with the rate. In certain instances, the depositary may receive dividends or other distributions
from us in U.S. dollars that represent the proceeds of a conversion of foreign currency or translation from foreign currency at a rate
that was obtained or determined by us and, in such cases, the depositary will not engage in, or be responsible for, any foreign currency
transactions and neither it nor we make any representation that the rate obtained or determined by us is the most favorable rate and
neither it nor we will be liable for any direct or indirect losses associated with the rate.
Payment of Taxes
You will be responsible for
any taxes or other governmental charges payable on your ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by any of your ADSs. The depositary
may refuse to register any transfer of your ADSs or allow you to withdraw the deposited securities represented by your ADSs until such
taxes or other charges are paid. It may apply payments owed to you or sell deposited securities represented by your ADSs to pay any taxes
owed and you will remain liable for any deficiency. If the depositary sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce the
number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to ADS holders any proceeds, or send to ADS holders any property, remaining after it has paid
the taxes.
Tender and Exchange Offers; Redemption, Replacement
or Cancellation of Deposited Securities
The depositary will not tender
deposited securities in any voluntary tender or exchange offer unless instructed to do by an ADS holder surrendering ADSs and subject
to any conditions or procedures the depositary may establish.
If deposited securities are
redeemed for cash in a transaction that is mandatory for the depositary as a holder of deposited securities, the depositary will call
for surrender of a corresponding number of ADSs and distribute the net redemption money to the holders of called ADSs upon surrender
of those ADSs.
If there is any change in
the deposited securities such as a subdivision, combination or other reclassification, or any merger, consolidation, recapitalization
or reorganization affecting the issuer of deposited securities in which the depositary receives new securities in exchange for or in
lieu of the old deposited securities, the depositary will hold those replacement securities as deposited securities under the deposit
agreement. However, if the depositary decides it would not be lawful and to hold the replacement securities because those securities
could not be distributed to ADS holders or for any other reason, the depositary may instead sell the replacement securities and distribute
the net proceeds upon surrender of our ADSs.
If there is a replacement
of the deposited securities and the depositary will continue to hold the replacement securities, the depositary may distribute new ADSs
representing the new deposited securities or ask you to surrender your outstanding ADRs in exchange for new ADRs identifying the new
deposited securities.
If there are no deposited
securities underlying ADSs, including if the deposited securities are cancelled, or if the deposited securities underlying ADSs have
become apparently worthless, the depositary may call for surrender of those ADSs or cancel those ADSs upon notice to the ADS holders.
Amendment and Termination
How may the deposit agreement be amended?
We may agree with the depositary
to amend the deposit agreement and the ADRs without your consent for any reason. If an amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except
for taxes and other governmental charges or expenses of the depositary for registration fees, facsimile costs, delivery charges or similar
items, or prejudices a substantial right of ADS holders, it will not become effective for outstanding ADSs until 30 days after the depositary
notifies ADS holders of the amendment. At the time an amendment becomes effective, you are considered, by continuing to hold your ADSs,
to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADRs and the deposit agreement as amended.
How may the deposit agreement be terminated?
The depositary will initiate
termination of the deposit agreement if we instruct it to do so. The depositary may initiate termination of the deposit agreement if:
| ● | 60
days have passed since the depositary told us it wants to resign but a successor depositary has not been appointed and accepted its appointment; |
| ● | we
delist our ordinary shares from an exchange in the United States on which they were listed and do not list the ADSs on another
exchange in the United States or make arrangements for trading of ADSs on the U.S. over-the-counter market; |
| ● | we
delist our shares from an exchange outside the United States on which they were listed and do not list the shares on another exchange
outside the United States; |
| ● | the
depositary has reason to believe the ADSs have become, or will become, ineligible for registration on Form F-6 under the Securities Act
of 1933; |
| ● | we
appear to be insolvent or enter insolvency proceedings; |
| ● | all
or substantially all the value of the deposited securities has been distributed either in cash or in the form of securities; |
| ● | there
are no deposited securities underlying our ADSs or the underlying deposited securities have become apparently worthless; or |
| ● | there
has been a replacement of deposited securities. |
If the deposit agreement
will terminate, the depositary will notify ADS holders at least 90 days before the termination date. At any time after the termination
date, the depositary may sell the deposited securities. After that, the depositary will hold the money it received on the sale, as well
as any other cash it is holding under the deposit agreement, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit
of the ADS holders that have not surrendered their ADSs. Normally, the depositary will sell as soon as practicable after the termination
date.
After the termination date
and before the depositary sells, ADS holders can still surrender their ADSs and receive delivery of deposited securities, except that
the depositary may refuse to accept a surrender for the purpose of withdrawing deposited securities, or reverse previously-accepted surrenders
of that kind that have not settled, if it would interfere with the selling process. The depositary may refuse to accept a surrender for
the purpose of withdrawing sale proceeds until all the deposited securities have been sold. The depositary will continue to collect distributions
on deposited securities, but, after the termination date, the depositary is not required to register any transfer of ADSs or distribute
any dividends or other distributions on deposited securities to our ADSs holder (until they surrender their ADSs) or give any notices
or perform any other duties under the deposit agreement except as described in this paragraph.
Limitations on Obligations and Liability
Limits on our Obligations and the Obligations
of the Depositary; Limits on Liability to Holders of ADSs
The deposit agreement expressly
limits our obligations and the obligations of the depositary. It also limits our liability and the liability of the depositary. We and
the depositary:
| ● | are
only obligated to take the actions specifically set forth in the deposit agreement without negligence or bad faith, and the depositary
will not be a fiduciary or have any fiduciary duty to holders of ADSs; |
| ● | are
not liable if we are or it is prevented or delayed by law or by events or circumstances beyond our or its ability to prevent or
counteract with reasonable care or effort from performing our or its obligations under the deposit agreement; |
| ● | are
not liable if we exercise or it exercises discretion permitted under the deposit agreement; |
| ● | are
not liable for the inability of any holder of ADSs to benefit from any distribution on deposited securities that is not made available
to holders of ADSs under the terms of the deposit agreement, or for any special, consequential or punitive damages for any breach of
the terms of the deposit agreement; |
| ● | have
no obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or other proceeding related to our ADSs or the deposit agreement on your behalf or on behalf
of any other person; |
| ● | may
rely upon any documents we believe or it believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person; |
| ● | are
not liable for the acts or omissions of any securities depository, clearing agency or settlement system; and |
| ● | the
depositary has no duty to make any determination or provide any information as to our tax status, or any liability for any tax consequences
that may be incurred by ADS holders as a result of owning or holding ADSs or be liable for the inability or failure of an ADS holder
to obtain the benefit of a foreign tax credit, reduced rate of withholding or refund of amounts withheld in respect of tax or any other
tax benefit. |
In the deposit agreement,
we and the depositary agree to indemnify each other under certain circumstances.
Requirements for Depositary Actions
Before the depositary will
deliver or register a transfer of ADSs, make a distribution on ADSs, or permit withdrawal of shares, the depositary may require:
| ● | payment
of stock transfer or other taxes or other governmental charges and transfer or registration fees charged by third parties for the transfer
of any ordinary shares or other deposited securities; |
| ● | satisfactory
proof of the identity and genuineness of any signature or other information it deems necessary; and |
| ● | compliance
with regulations it may establish, from time to time, consistent with the deposit agreement, including presentation of transfer documents. |
The depositary may refuse
to deliver ADSs or register transfers of ADSs when the transfer books of the depositary or our transfer books are closed or at any time
if the depositary or we think it advisable to do so.
Your Right to Receive the Ordinary Shares
Underlying your ADSs
ADS holders have the right
to cancel their ADSs and withdraw the underlying ordinary shares at any time except:
| ● | when
temporary delays arise because: (i) the depositary has closed its transfer books or we have closed our transfer books; (ii) the transfer
of ordinary shares is blocked to permit voting at a shareholders’ meeting; or (iii) we are paying a dividend on our shares; |
| ● | when
you owe money to pay fees, taxes and similar charges; or |
| ● | when
it is necessary to prohibit withdrawals in order to comply with any laws or governmental regulations that apply to ADSs or to the withdrawal
of ordinary shares or other deposited securities. |
This right of withdrawal
may not be limited by any other provision of the deposit agreement.
Jury Trial Waiver
The deposit agreement provides
that, to the extent permitted by law, ADS holders waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us or the depositary
arising out of or relating to our shares, the ADSs or the deposit agreement, including any claim under the U.S. federal securities laws.
If we are the depositary opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable
in the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.
You will not, by agreeing
to the terms of the deposit agreement, be deemed to have waived our or the depositary’s compliance with U.S. federal securities
laws or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Direct Registration System
In the deposit agreement,
all parties to the deposit agreement acknowledge that the Direct Registration System, or DRS, and Profile Modification System, or Profile,
will apply to our ADSs. DRS is a system administered by DTC that facilitates interchange between registered holding of uncertificated
ADSs and holding of security entitlements in ADSs through DTC and a DTC participant. Profile is feature of DRSs that allows a DTC participant,
claiming to act on behalf of a registered holder of uncertificated ADSs, to direct the depositary to register a transfer of those ADSs
to DTC or its nominee and to deliver those ADSs to the DTC account of that DTC participant without receipt by the depositary of prior
authorization from the ADS holder to register that transfer.
In connection with and in
accordance with the arrangements and procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties to the deposit agreement understand that the depositary
will not determine whether the DTC participant that is claiming to be acting on behalf of an ADS holder in requesting registration of
transfer and delivery as described in the paragraph above has the actual authority to act on behalf of the ADS holder (notwithstanding
any requirements under the Uniform Commercial Code). In the deposit agreement, the parties agree that the depositary’s reliance
on and compliance with instructions received by the depositary through the DRS/Profile system and in accordance with the deposit agreement
will not constitute negligence or bad faith on the part of the depositary.
Shareholder communications; inspection of
register of holders of ADSs
The depositary will make
available for your inspection at its office all communications that it receives from us as a holder of deposited securities that we make
generally available to holders of deposited securities. The depositary will send you copies of those communications or otherwise make
those communications available to you if we ask it to. You have a right to inspect the register of holders of ADSs, but not for the purpose
of contacting those holders about a matter unrelated to our business or our ADSs.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
On July 16, 2024, we entered
into the SEPA with Yorkville. The SEPA provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Yorkville
is committed to purchase up to $15.0 million in ADSs during the Commitment Period.
From time to time, Yorkville
may sell the Ordinary Shares registered under this Prospectus in one or more of the following manners:
|
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions
and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
● |
a block trade in which
the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal
to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
● |
to a broker-dealer as principal
and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
a combination of any such
methods of sale. |
Yorkville has agreed that,
during the term of the SEPA, neither Yorkville or its affiliates will engage in any short sales or hedging transactions with respect
to our ADSs, provided that Yorkville and its affiliates may enter into permitted sales.
Yorkville and any unaffiliated
broker-dealer will be subject to liability under the federal securities laws and must comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act,
including without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the
timing of purchases and sales of ADSs by Yorkville or any unaffiliated broker-dealer. Under these rules and regulations, Yorkville
and any unaffiliated broker-dealer:
|
● |
may not engage in any stabilization
activity in connection with our securities; |
|
|
|
|
● |
must furnish each broker
which offers our ADSs covered by the prospectus and accompanying prospectus that are a part of our Registration Statement with the
number of copies of such prospectus and accompanying prospectus which are required by each broker; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
may not bid for or purchase
any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange
Act. |
These restrictions may affect
the marketability of the ADSs by Yorkville and any unaffiliated broker-dealer.
We have advised Yorkville
that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the
Selling Shareholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding
for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until
the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security
in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered by
this prospectus.
We have paid the expenses
incident to the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of our ADSs covered by this prospectus by the Selling Shareholder.
Our total expenses for the Initial Registration Statement and this Registration Statement was approximately $34,000. We also paid a $25,000
non-refundable due diligence fee to Yorkville upon execution of the term sheet regarding the SEPA.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of our securities
and other legal matters concerning this offering relating to Israeli law will be passed upon for us by Doron Tikotzky Kantor Gutman &
Amit Gross. The validity of our securities being offered by this prospectus and certain legal matters in connection with this offering
relating to U.S. federal law will be passed upon for us by The Crone Law Group P.C.
EXPERTS
The audited financial statements
incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been so incorporated by reference in reliance
upon the report of Fahn Kanne & Co. Grant Thornton Israel, independent registered public accountants, upon the authority of
said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Israel
We have been informed by
our legal counsel in Israel, Doron Tikotzky Kantor Gutman & Amit Gross, 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; |
| ● | adequate
service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence; |
| ● | the
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 and 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; and |
| ● | the
judgment is enforceable according to the laws of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted. |
If a foreign judgment is
enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency
and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency
is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date
of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli
court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli 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.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We have filed a registration
statement on Form F-1 (including amendments and exhibits thereto) with the SEC under the Securities Act, relating to this offering of
our ADSs. This prospectus, which forms a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information contained in the
registration statement. The rules and regulations of the SEC allow us to omit certain information from this prospectus that is included
in the registration statement. Statements made in this prospectus concerning the contents of any contract, agreement or other document
are summaries of all material information about the documents summarized, but are not complete descriptions of all terms of these documents.
If we filed any of these documents as an exhibit to the registration statement, you may read the document itself for a complete description
of its terms.
The SEC maintains an Internet
site that contains reports and other information regarding issuers, like us, that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that
website is www.sec.gov.
We are subject to the information
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers, and under those requirements are filing reports
with the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act relating to the furnishing and content
of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery
provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic
reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under
the Exchange Act. However, we will be required to file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable
time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public
accounting firm, and will submit to the SEC, on Form 6-K, unaudited quarterly financial information.
As a foreign private issuer,
we are also exempt from the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) which, generally, are meant to ensure that select groups
of investors are not privy to specific information about an issuer before other investors. We are, however, still subject to the anti-fraud
and anti-manipulation rules of the SEC, such as Rule 10b-5. Since many of the disclosure obligations required of us as a foreign
private issuer are different than those required of U.S. domestic reporting companies, our shareholders, potential shareholders
and the investing public in general should not expect to receive information about us in the same amount, or at the same time, as information
is received from, or provided by, other U.S. domestic reporting companies. We are only liable for violations of the rules and regulations
of the SEC that apply to us as a foreign private issuer.
We maintain a corporate website
at https://saver.one/en/home/. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this
prospectus. We have included our website address in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.
INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE
The SEC allows us to incorporate
by reference information into this document. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another
document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of this document, except
for any information superseded by information that is included directly in this prospectus or incorporated by reference subsequent to
the date of this prospectus.

PART II
Information Not Required in Prospectus
Item 6. Indemnification, Insurance and Exculpation of Office
Holders (including Directors).
Under the Israeli Companies
Law 5759-1999, or the Companies Law, the Securities Law, 5728-1968, or the Securities Law, and the Restrictive Trade Practices Law, 5748-1988,
or the Antitrust Law, a company may indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred
for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either in advance of an event or following an event, provided its articles of association
include a provision authorizing such indemnification:
|
● |
a monetary liability incurred
by or imposed on the office holder in favor of another person pursuant to a court judgment, including pursuant to a settlement confirmed
as judgment or arbitrator’s decision approved by a competent court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder
with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of
the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the company’s activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to
an amount or according to criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and such undertaking
shall detail the abovementioned foreseen events and amount or criteria; |
|
● |
reasonable litigation expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which were incurred by the office holder as a result of an investigation or proceeding
filed against the office holder by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that such investigation
or proceeding was either (i) concluded without the filing of an indictment against such office holder and without the imposition
on him of any monetary obligation in lieu of a criminal proceeding; (ii) concluded without the filing of an indictment against
the office holder but with the imposition of a monetary obligation on the office holder in lieu of criminal proceedings for an offense
that does not require proof of criminal intent; or (iii) in connection with a monetary sanction; |
|
● |
a monetary liability imposed
on the office holder in favor of all the injured parties by the breach in an Administrative Proceeding (as defined below) as set
forth in Section 52(54)(a)(1)(a) to the Securities Law; |
|
● |
expenses expended by the
office holder with respect to an Administrative Proceeding under the Securities Law, including reasonable litigation expenses and
reasonable attorneys’ fees; |
|
● |
reasonable litigation expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or which were imposed on the office holder by a court (i) in
a proceeding instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or (ii) in connection with criminal
indictment of which the office holder was acquitted, or (iii) in a criminal indictment which the office holder was convicted
of an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; |
|
● |
financial liability imposed
on the office holder on behalf of all the victims of the breach in an Administrative Proceeding; |
|
● |
expenses incurred by an
office holder in connection with a proceeding conducted with respect to the office holder under the Antitrust Law, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses; and |
|
● |
any other obligation or
expense in respect of which it is permitted or will be permitted under applicable law to indemnify an office holder, including, without
limitation, matters referenced in Section 56H(b)(1) of the Securities Law. |
An “Administrative
Proceeding” is defined as a proceeding pursuant to chapters H3 (Monetary Sanction by the Israel Securities Authority), H4 (Administrative
Enforcement Proceedings of the Administrative Enforcement Committee) or I1 (Arrangement to Conditionally Prevent Proceedings or Suspend
Proceedings) of the Securities Law.
|
● |
Under the Companies Law,
the Securities Law and the Antitrust Law, a company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts
performed by him or her as an office holder if and to the extent provided in the company’s articles of association: |
|
● |
a breach of the duty of
loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would
not harm the company; |
|
● |
a breach of duty of care
to the company or to a third party, to the extent such a breach arises out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; |
|
● |
a monetary liability imposed
on the office holder in favor of a third party; |
|
● |
a monetary liability imposed
on the office holder in favor of an injured party in certain Administrative Proceedings under the Securities Law, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses; |
|
● |
expenses incurred by an
office holder in connection with an Administrative Proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses;
and |
|
● |
monetary liability imposed
on the office holder in proceedings under or in connection with the Antitrust Law, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
other litigation expenses. |
Under the Companies Law,
a company may not indemnify, exculpate or insure an office holder against any of the following:
|
● |
a breach of the duty of
loyalty, except for indemnification and insurance for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company to the extent that the office
holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company; |
|
● |
a breach of duty of care
committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; |
|
● |
an act or omission committed
with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or |
|
● |
a fine 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 directors or controlling shareholders, their relatives and third parties in which such controlling
shareholders have a personal interest, also by the shareholders.
Our articles of association
permit us to insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted or to be permitted by law. Our office holders are currently covered
by a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no claims for directors’
and officers’ liability insurance have been filed under this policy and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation
or proceeding involving any of our office holders, including our directors, in which indemnification is sought.
We have entered into agreements
with each of our current office holders undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to limited exceptions,
including, with respect to liabilities resulting from this offering to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by insurance.
This indemnification is limited as follows: the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that we may pay to all office holders entitled
to indemnification, whether in advance or after the event, with respect to all our indemnification undertakings to officer holders, if
and to the extent that it grants them, based on the grounds specified above, shall not exceed the maximum indemnification amount of 25%
of our shareholders’ equity according to its last financial statements at the time of indemnification. Such indemnification amounts
are in addition to any insurance amounts. However, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification of office holders for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.
There is no pending litigation
or proceeding against any of our office holders as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened
litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any office holder.
We have also entered into
agreements with each of our current office holders undertaking to exculpate them in accordance with the Companies Law, whereby an Israeli
company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company
as a result of a breach of duty of care, if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our
articles of association include such a provision. A company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of a fiduciary
duty, and may not exculpate a director in advance from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.
We also do not exculpate our directors in advance from liability for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of
care in connection with a transaction in which a controlling shareholder or any office holder has a personal interest.
Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered
Securities.
We have issued securities
which were not registered under the Securities Act as set forth below.
The following is a summary
of transactions during the preceding three years involving sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act
(all amounts converted to USD using the exchange rate as of December 31, 2023):
On January 31, 2021, we issued
288,080 ordinary shares upon exercise of unregistered rights granted to Keshet Holdings Limited Partnership in August 2019.
On December 11, 2022, we
entered into a securities purchase agreement with a certain investor to raise approximately $1.5 million through the private placement
of 44,948 ADSs (representing 4,045,305 ordinary shares) at a price of $1.854 per ADS, representing a 58% premium on the closing price
of our ADSs on December 9, 2022.
Since January 2021, we have
granted to our directors, officers, employees and other service providers options to purchase an aggregate of 1,656,500 ordinary shares
under our incentive option plan, with exercise prices ranging between NIS 0.26 (approximately $0.07) and NIS 24.88 (approximately $6.61)
per share, as well as 900,000 restricted ordinary shares. As of March 22, 2024, options to purchase 475,000 shares were cancelled, forfeited,
expired, or were otherwise not granted, such that the total outstanding amount of options to our directors, officers and employees and
other service providers under our incentive option plan as of such date is 1,181,500.
On June 5, 2023, we completed
a private placement to Yorkville, pursuant to which we issued 340,760 ordinary shares represented by 3,786 ADSs as Commitment Shares
under the SEPA. The securities were sold by us under the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements
under the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Between June 2023 and June
2024, we issued 50,409,240 ordinary shares represented by 560,103 ADSs that we sold to Yorkville as Advance Shares under the Prior SEPA,
for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6.15 million.
Between July 2024 and
December 2024, we issued 126,363,290 ordinary shares represented by 1,404,037 ADSs that we sold to Yorkville as Advance Shares under
the SEPA, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.92 million.
We believe that the sales
and issuances of the securities described in this Section were exempt from registration either (a) under Section 4(a)(2) of
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Regulation D and Rule 506), in that the transactions
were between an issuer and sophisticated investors or members of its senior executive management and did not involve any public offering
within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) or (b) under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act in that offers, sales
and issuances were not made to persons in the United States and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States.

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; |
|
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; and |
|
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, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof. |
|
3. |
To remove from registration
by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
|
4. |
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. |
|
5. |
That, for the purpose of
determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, 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 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 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 or the date
of the first contract of 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 an 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 of 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. |
|
6. |
That, for the purpose of
determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold
to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and
will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
i. |
Any preliminary prospectus
or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
|
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. |
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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. |
c. |
The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes that: |
|
1. |
For purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, 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. |
For the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |

To:
SaverOne 2014 Ltd.
Em Hamoshavot Rd. 94
Petah Tikvah, Israel
Dear Sir and Madam,
We have acted as Israeli counsel to SaverOne 2014
Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”), in connection with the offering of up to 270,000,000 ordinary shares of the
Company, NIS 0.01 value (each, an “Ordinary Share”) represented by up to 3,000,000 American Depositary Shares (the
“ADSs”), each ADS representing ninety (90) Ordinary Shares, (the “Securities”) from time to time by
the selling shareholder listed in the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined). The Securities are being issued pursuant to a registration
statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the related prospectus which forms a part of and is included in
the Registration Statement.
As counsel to the Company in Israel, we have examined
copies of the Articles of Association, as amended, of the Company and such corporate records, instruments, and other documents relating
to the Company and such matters of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
In such examination, we have assumed: (i) the
authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted
to us as copies; (iii) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the corporate
records, documents, certificates and instruments we have reviewed; (iv) the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution
and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof; and (v) the legal capacity of all natural persons. As to any facts material
to such opinion, to the extent that we did not independently establish relevant facts, we have relied on certificates of public officials
and certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are
of the opinion that the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs, issued and to be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement, are validly
issued and non-assessable.
We are members of the Israel Bar, and we express
no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Israel and have not, for the
purpose of giving this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any other jurisdiction than the State of Israel. The opinions set
forth herein are made as of the date hereof and are subject to, and may be limited by, future changes in the factual matters set forth
herein, and we undertake no duty to advise you of the same. The opinions expressed herein are based upon the law in effect (and published
or otherwise generally available) on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement these opinions should such law
be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise. In rendering our opinions, we have not considered, and hereby disclaim
any opinion as to, the application or impact of any laws, cases, decisions, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction, court or administrative
agency. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise,
as to any other matters.
This opinion is rendered to you in connection
with the filing of the Registration Statement. This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose, or furnished to, quoted or relied
upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written consent, except that (A) this opinion may be
furnished or quoted to judicial or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over you, and (B) this opinion may be relied upon by purchasers
and holders of the securities covered by the Registration Statement currently entitled to rely on it pursuant to applicable provisions
of federal securities law.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion
as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration
Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K promulgated
under the Securities Act.
Very truly yours,
