PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including the ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section contained in this prospectus supplement and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the other documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the information included in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering.
Our Business
We are a commercial stage medical device company focusing on the research, development and marketing of cryoablation systems and technologies based on liquid nitrogen, or LN2, for treating tumors. Cryoablation is the process by which benign and malignant tumors are ablated (destroyed) through freezing such tumors while in a patient’s body. Our proprietary cryoablation technology is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical intervention, for tumors, including those found in breast, lungs, kidneys, bones and other indications. Our lead commercial cryoablation product is the ProSense system.
In addition to our existing lead product, the ProSense system, a single probe system, we have developed an additional multi probe system that is expected to have the ability to freeze several tumors simultaneously or larger tumors, which we refer to as our MultiSense system, which has not been commercialized. In our continued efforts aimed at improving our core technology, we are currently focusing on developing our next generation MultiSense system, which we intend to commercialize subject to regulatory approvals. We are also in the process of developing our next generation single probe system. While these next generation systems are still in various research and development stages, we expect them to be more efficient and user friendly.
Recent Developments
De Novo Classification Request with the FDA
On October 19, 2022, we submitted a De Novo Classification Request regulatory filing with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for marketing authorization based on our ICE3 clinical trial interim analysis of ProSense for the indication of early-stage (Luminal A T1 invasive) low-risk breast cancer in patients who are at high risk to surgery (not suitable for surgical alternatives), representing approximately 43,000 women in the U.S. annually. The specific indication filed is based on interim data from our ICE3 trial and is in accordance with discussions we have had with the FDA, which granted ProSense Breakthrough Device Designation on March 31, 2021, enabling closer communications regarding its regulatory filing.
Final ICE3 5-year follow-up data are expected in the first half of 2024, at which time we plan to file with the FDA for a broader indication reflecting the entire study population—early-stage (Luminal A T1 invasive) low-risk breast cancer for patients age 60 and over, representing approximately 65,000 women in the U.S. annually.
ICE3 is the largest controlled multi-location clinical trial ever performed for liquid nitrogen based cryoablation of small, low-risk, early-stage malignant breast tumors without subsequently removing them. The trial began in 2014 and has completed recruitment of 206 patients (of which 194 were eligible for cryoablation) in 19 hospitals and medical centers across the U.S., including Columbia University Medical Center and Mount Sinai Beth Israel.
Assignment of CPT Category III Code for Breast Cancer Cryoablation Procedures
On November 1, 2022, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, assigned our ProSense breast cancer cryoablation procedures with CPT Category III code 0581T to ambulatory payment classification 5091, Level 1 Breast/Lymphatic Surgery and Related Procedures. This payment assignment for the procedure will go into effect on January 1, 2023, opening the potential for facilities to be paid, on a case-by-case basis, for these procedures subject to our receipt of FDA marketing authorization of ProSense for breast cancer.
Under the temporary CPT Category III code, the ProSense procedure is priced for coverage by the CMS at approximately $3,400 for the facility fee alone. Additional coverage, including payment for the physician, is expected upon establishment of the permanent CPT Category I code, which is conditioned on several factors including our receipt of FDA marketing authorization of ProSense for breast cancer.
ICESECRET Interim Study Results
On December 19, 2022, we announced interim results data from our ICESECRET study for the treatment of patients with small renal masses (“SRM”) who cannot be offered kidney-preserving surgery. Data were presented on December 14, 2022 at the Urological Association Conference in Eilat, Israel. The presentation titled “Renal Mass Cryoablation - Interim Analysis ICESECRET Study” was delivered by Dr. Nasir Said of Bnai Zion Medical Center.
According to the presentation, out of the 115 patients enrolled, 107 patients (112 lesions) returned for follow-up with a mean duration of 22.8 months and a range 12-60 months. In a subgroup of patients with no previous history of kidney cancer on the same kidney and a lesion ≤3 cm, an 89.5% recurrence-free rate was observed at a mean follow-up time of 22.2 months when the procedure protocol was followed. The recurrence-free rate was 85.1% for the 107 patients (91 patients, including 13 patients who underwent a second cryoablation), at a mean follow-up period of 16.5 months. Five serious adverse events were reported, four of which were of mild severity and were treated conservatively and resolved within one to five days, with one severe complication of a new onset of ipsilateral hydronephrosis seven months after the cryoablation procedure that led to nephrectomy. Cryoablation time and hospitalization time were relatively short, up to approximately 25 minutes and two days, respectively. The presentation concluded that, based on these interim results, cryoablation is safe and effective for treating renal masses under five cm.
According to the American Journal of Roentgenology, small renal masses, which may be malignant or benign tumors in the kidney, have been rising in incidence over the past two decades. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2022, in the U.S., an estimated 79,000 new cases of kidney cancer will be diagnosed, with about 14,000 dying from the disease. Globally, there were more than 430,000 new cases of kidney cancer in 2020 and about 180,000 deaths according to World Cancer Research Fund International.
ICESECRET, a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial is being performed at Bnai-Zion Medical Center, Haifa, Israel, and Shamir Medical Center, Zerifin, Israel, and led by Principal Investigator Prof. Halahmi Sarel. The trial included 115 patients (138 lesions) with localized SRM of ≤5 cm who were treated with ProSense cryoablation under CT guidance. Full engulfment of the renal lesion, including a safety margin of 0.5 cm was achieved in approximately 96% of the procedures where there was no anatomical limitation. Follow-up visits are performed six weeks, six months, one year, and then annually up to five years after the procedure. During the follow-up visits, data related to local recurrence, based on CT imaging, is collected. Safety was determined by monitoring procedure-related adverse events throughout the study.

RISK FACTORS
Investment in our Ordinary Shares involves risks. Before deciding whether to invest in our Ordinary Shares, you should consider carefully the risk factors discussed below and those contained in the section entitled “Item 3. Key Information - D. Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F as well as any amendment or update to our risk factors reflected in our subsequent filings with the SEC. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our Ordinary Shares to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking statements; you should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Risks Related to this Offering
The market price of our Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could result in substantial loses for purchasers of our Ordinary Shares in this offering.
The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell the Ordinary Shares at or above the public offering price. The market price for the Ordinary Shares may be influenced by many factors, including:
| ● | inability to obtain the approvals necessary to commence further clinical trials; |
| ● | unsatisfactory results of clinical trials; |
| ● | announcements of regulatory approval or the failure to obtain it, or specific label indications or patient populations for its use, or changes or delays in the regulatory review process; |
| ● | announcements of therapeutic innovations or new products by us or our competitors; |
| ● | adverse actions taken by regulatory authorities with respect to our clinical trials, manufacturing supply chain or sales and marketing activities; |
| ● | changes or developments in laws or regulations applicable to the cryoablation of tumors or any other indication that we may seek to develop; |
| ● | any adverse changes to our relationship with manufacturers or suppliers; |
| ● | any intellectual property infringement actions in which we may become involved; |
| ● | announcements concerning our competitors or the biotechnology industry in general; |
| ● | our involvement in litigation; |
| ● | any major changes in our board of directors or management; |
| ● | our ability to recruit and retain qualified regulatory, research and development personnel; |
| ● | legislation or changes to healthcare payment systems; |
| ● | the depth of the trading market in our Ordinary Shares; |
| ● | termination or expiration of the lock-up agreements or other restrictions limiting our ability or that of any of our existing shareholders to sell our Ordinary Shares (or any other securities that we may issue, if any) after this offering; |
| | |
| ● | general economic weakness, including inflation, or industry and market conditions; |
| ● | business interruptions resulting from an epidemic or pandemic, such as COVID-19, geopolitical actions, including war and terrorism, or natural disasters; |
| ● | the granting or exercise of employee stock options or other equity awards; and |
| ● | changes in investors’ and securities analysts’ perception of the business risks and conditions of our business. |
In addition, the stock market in general, and the Nasdaq Stock Market in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of small companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. Further, a systemic decline in the financial markets and related factors beyond our control may cause our share price to decline rapidly and unexpectedly.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value per share of the Ordinary Shares you purchase in the offering.
You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. The public offering price per share of our Ordinary Shares offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share. Accordingly, at the public offering price of $1.65 per share, purchasers of Ordinary Shares in this offering will experience immediate dilution of $1.02 per share in as adjusted net tangible book value of the Ordinary Shares. In addition, as of December 20, 2022, there were 3,113,436 Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price per share of $2.44. To the extent that additional Ordinary Shares are issued upon exercise of these outstanding options to purchase additional Ordinary Shares, you will incur further dilution. See “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering.
Future sales or other issuances of our Ordinary Shares could depress the market for our Ordinary Shares.
Sales of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares, or the perception by the market that those sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline or could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through the sale of equity in the future.
In connection with this offering, we, and our directors and executive officers, have entered into lock-up agreements for a period of 90 days following this offering. We and our directors and executive officers may be released from lock-up prior to the expiration of the lock-up period at the sole discretion of the representative. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page S-11 of this prospectus supplement. Upon expiration or earlier release of the lock-up, we and our directors and executive officers may sell shares into the market, which could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.
Future issuances of Ordinary Shares or any securities that are exercisable for or convertible into Ordinary Shares could further depress the market for our Ordinary Shares, may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Ordinary Shares and will have a dilutive effect on our existing shareholders and holders of Ordinary Shares. We expect to continue to incur research and development and general and administrative expenses and, to satisfy our funding requirements, we will need to sell additional equity securities, which may include sales of significant amounts of Ordinary Shares, which may be subject to registration rights and warrants with anti-dilutive protective provisions. The sale or the proposed sale of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares or other equity securities in the public markets or in private transactions may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares and our share price may decline substantially.
Our principal shareholders, officers and directors currently beneficially own approximately 57% of our Ordinary Shares. They will therefore be able to exert significant control over matters submitted to our shareholders for approval.
As of the date of this prospectus, our principal shareholders, officers and directors beneficially own approximately 57% of our Ordinary Shares. This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our Ordinary Shares because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning shares in companies with controlling shareholders. As a result, these shareholders, if they acted together, could significantly influence or even unilaterally approve matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. The interests of these shareholders may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other shareholders.
Because we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market rules, our shareholders may not have certain corporate governance protections that are available to shareholders of companies that are not controlled companies.
So long as more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company, we will qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market rules. As of the date of this prospectus, Epoch Partner Investments Limited controls approximately 53.7% of the combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market rules and are not subject to the requirements that would otherwise require us to have: (i) a majority of independent directors; (ii) a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors; (iii) compensation of our executive officers determined by a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors; and (iv) director nominees selected, or recommended for the board of directors selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not intend to take advantage of the exemptions from the Nasdaq Stock Market corporate governance listing requirements available to a “controlled company”. However, should we later choose to do so, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements.
Participation in this offering by our affiliates will reduce the available public float of our Ordinary Shares.
An existing shareholder agreed to purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering at the public offering price. Such purchases will reduce the non-affiliate public float for our Ordinary Shares, meaning the number of Ordinary Shares that are not held by officers, directors and controlling shareholders. A reduction in the public float could reduce the number of Ordinary Shares that are available to be traded at any given time, thereby adversely impacting the liquidity of our Ordinary Shares and depressing the price at which you may be able to sell Ordinary Shares purchased in this offering.
Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering and as described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds.” Our management could spend the proceeds in ways that you do not agree with or that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our Ordinary Shares.
We have never paid cash dividends on our share capital, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in Ordinary Shares as a source for any future dividend income. Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. In addition, the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999, or the Companies Law, imposes restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends. See “Dividend Policy.”
Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing shareholders and may adversely affect the rights of existing shareholders.
We may need to raise additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings and collaborations, and strategic and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity (such as this offering) or otherwise including through convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through strategic partnerships and alliances and licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. Future sales of our Ordinary Shares or of securities convertible into our Ordinary Shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause immediate dilution and adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate the net proceeds to us from the sale of the Ordinary Shares offered by us in this offering will be approximately $13.5 million after deducting the estimated offering expenses.
We currently expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for the following purposes:
| ● | approximately $8.0 million to continue the development of our next generation single Probe and MultiSense systems, collecting clinical data and adding regulatory approvals in new territories and indications; |
| ● | approximately $4.0 million for business development, marketing and selling activities; and |
| ● | the remainder for working capital and general corporate purposes. |
Changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our global marketing and sales efforts, the development of our products and the overall economic environment. Therefore, our management will retain broad discretion over the use of the proceeds from this offering. We may ultimately use the proceeds for different purposes than what we currently intend. Pending any ultimate use of any portion of the proceeds from this offering, if the anticipated proceeds will not be sufficient to fund all the proposed purposes, our management will determine the order of priority for using the proceeds, as well as the amount and sources of other funds needed.
The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the timing, scope, progress and results of our research and development efforts, timing and progress of our clinical trials, regulatory and competitive environment and other factors that management believes are appropriate.
Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we may invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of cash dividends, if any, in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.
The Companies Law imposes further restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends. Under the Companies Law, we may declare and pay dividends only if, upon the determination of our board of directors, there is no reasonable concern that the distribution will prevent us from being able to meet the terms of our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due. Under the Companies Law, the distribution amount is further limited to the greater of retained earnings or earnings generated over the two most recent years legally available for distribution according to our then last reviewed or audited financial statements, provided that the end of the period to which the financial statements relate is not more than six months prior to the date of distribution. In the event that we do not meet such earnings criteria, we may seek the approval of a court in order to distribute a dividend. The court may approve our request if it is convinced that there is no reasonable concern that the payment of a dividend will prevent us from satisfying our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due.
DILUTION
If you invest in our Ordinary Shares, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per Ordinary Share you will pay in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering. As of September 30, 2022, we had a net tangible book value of $15.3 million, corresponding to a net tangible book value of $0.41 per Ordinary Share. Net tangible book value per Ordinary Share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by 36,835,554, the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on September 30, 2022.
After giving effect to the sale of the 8,787,880 Ordinary Shares offered by us in this offering at the public offering price of $1.65 per Ordinary Share, and after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value estimated at September 30, 2022 would have been approximately $28.8 million, representing $0.63 per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in historical net tangible book value of $1.54 per Ordinary Share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.02 per Ordinary Share to purchasers of Ordinary Shares in this offering. Dilution for this purpose represents the difference between the price per Ordinary Share paid by these purchasers and pro forma net tangible book value per Ordinary Share immediately after the completion of this offering.
The following table illustrates this dilution on a per Ordinary Share basis to purchasers of Ordinary Shares in this offering:
Public offering price per Ordinary Share | | $ | 1.65 | |
Net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of September 30, 2022 | | $ | 0.41 | |
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per Ordinary Share attributable to this offering | | $ | 1.54 | |
Pro forma net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering | | $ | 0.63 | |
Dilution per Ordinary Share to new investors | | $ | 1.02 | |
Percentage of dilution in net tangible book value per Ordinary Share for new investors | | | 62 | % |
The number of Ordinary Shares purchased from us by existing shareholders is based on 36,835,554 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2022, and excludes:
| ● | 3,113,436 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of options to directors, employees and consultants under our ESOP, outstanding as of September 30, 2022, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.38, of which 1,031,802 were exercisable as of September 30, 2022; and |
| | |
| ● | 2,139 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants to directors, employees and consultants, outstanding as of September 30, 2022, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.26. |
To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised or we issue additional Ordinary Shares under our equity incentive plans, you may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current and future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of those securities could result in further dilution to the holders of our Ordinary Shares.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and our capitalization as of September 30, 2022:
| ● | on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the sale of 8,787,880 Ordinary Shares in this offering at the public offering price of $1.65 per Ordinary Share, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, as if the sale of the Ordinary Shares had occurred on September 30, 2022. |

ABOUT OUR COMPANY
We are a commercial stage medical device company focusing on the research, development and marketing of cryoablation systems and technologies based on liquid nitrogen, or LN2, for treating tumors. Cryoablation is the process by which benign and malignant tumors are ablated (destroyed) through freezing such tumors while in a patient’s body. Our proprietary cryoablation technology is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical intervention, for tumors, including those found in breast, lungs, kidneys, bones and other indications. Our lead commercial cryoablation product is the ProSense system.
In addition to our existing lead product, the ProSense system, a single probe system, we have developed an additional multi probe system that is expected to have the ability to freeze several tumors simultaneously or larger tumors, which we refer to as our MultiSense system, which has not been commercialized. In our continued efforts aimed at improving our core technology, we are currently focusing on developing our next generation MultiSense system, which we intend to commercialize subject to regulatory approvals. We are also in the process of developing our next generation single probe system. While these next generation systems are still in various research and development stages, we expect them to be more efficient and user friendly.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking statements; you should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed elsewhere in this prospectus.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains, and any accompanying prospectus supplement will contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Also, documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus, including documents that we subsequently file with the SEC, contain and will contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate” “objective,” “goal,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “project,” “plan,” “assume” or other similar expressions, or negatives of those expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement regarding our objectives, plans and strategies, statements that contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, expected capital needs and expenses, statements relating to the research, development, completion and use of our products, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.
You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including in many cases decisions or actions by third parties, that are difficult to predict. Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on the cover of this prospectus, the date of any prospectus supplement, or, in the case of forward-looking statements incorporated by reference, the date of the filing that includes the statement. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements may differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and materially adverse to our security holders. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
We have identified some of the important factors that could cause future events to differ from our current expectations and they are described in this prospectus and supplements to this prospectus (if any) under the caption “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” and elsewhere in this prospectus as well as in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, including without limitation under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” and in other documents that we may file with the SEC, all of which you should review carefully. Please consider our forward-looking statements in light of those risks as you read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and any prospectus supplement.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in an accompanying prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities in this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the timing, scope, progress and results of our research and development efforts, timing and progress of our clinical trials, regulatory and competitive environment and other factors that management believes are appropriate. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of this offering. Pending application of the net proceeds for the purposes as described above, we may invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, interest-bearing securities, and U.S. government securities.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The descriptions of the securities contained in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements, summarize the material terms and provisions of the various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to any securities the particular terms of the securities offered by that prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the securities may differ from the terms we have summarized below.
We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings, Ordinary Shares, warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares or units comprising a combination of Ordinary Shares and warrants.
In this prospectus, we refer to the Ordinary Shares and warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares and units that may be offered by us collectively as “securities.” The total dollar amount of all securities that we may issue under this prospectus will not exceed $100,000,000. The actual price per share of the shares that we will offer, or per security of the securities that we will offer, pursuant hereto will depend on a number of factors that may be relevant as of the time of offer.
This prospectus may not be used to consummate a sale of securities unless it is accompanied by a prospectus supplement.
Warrants
We may issue warrants independently or together with any other securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the warrants may be attached to or separate from those securities. We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we may issue under a separate agreement or other evidence. Any series of warrants may be issued under a separate warrant agreement, which may be entered into between us and a warrant agent specified in an applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants. Any such warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any of the holders of the warrants. We may also choose to act as our own warrant agent. We will set forth further terms of the warrants and any applicable warrant agreements in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the issuance of any warrants, including, where applicable, the following:
| ● | the title of the warrants; |
| ● | the aggregate number of the warrants; |
| ● | exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions; |
| ● | the number of securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants; |
| ● | the designation and terms of the securities, if any, with which the warrants are issued, and the number of the warrants issued with each such offered security; |
| ● | the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable; |
| ● | the price at which, and form of consideration for which, each security purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased; |
| ● | the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire; |
| ● | if applicable, the date on and after which such warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable; |
| | |
| ● | the manner in which the warrants may be exercised, which may include by cashless exercise; |
| ● | the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants; |
| ● | the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants; |
| ● | any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants; |
| ● | information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; |
| ● | if applicable, a discussion of the material Israeli and U.S. income tax considerations applicable to the issuance or exercise of such warrants; |
| ● | the anti-dilution and adjustment of share capital provisions of the warrants, if any; |
| ● | the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants which may be exercised at any one time; |
| ● | any circumstances that will cause the warrants to be deemed to be automatically exercised; and |
| ● | any other material terms of the warrants. |
Units
We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination. As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of our Ordinary Shares, warrants or any combination of such securities. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time, or at any time before a specified date. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe:
| ● | the terms of the units and of the Ordinary Shares and/or warrants comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be traded separately; |
| ● | a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units or any arrangement with an agent that may act on our behalf in connection with the unit offering; |
| ● | a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units; and |
| ● | any material provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described above. |
The description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any units we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable unit agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer units. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the applicable unit agreement if we offer units, see “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities being offered hereby in one or more of the following methods from time to time:
| ● | a block trade (which may involve crosses) in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
| ● | exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions; |
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
| ● | to one or more underwriters for resale to the public or to investors; |
| ● | in an “at the market offering,” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | directly to a purchaser pursuant to what is known as an “equity line of credit” as described below; |
| ● | transactions not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales or privately negotiated transactions; or |
| ● | through a combination of these methods of sale. |
The securities that we distribute by any of these methods may be sold, in one or more transactions, at:
| ● | a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
| ● | market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
| ● | prices related to prevailing market prices; or |
We will set forth in a prospectus supplement the terms of the offering of securities, including:
| ● | the name or names of any agents, dealers or underwriters; |
| ● | the purchase price of the securities being offered and the proceeds we will receive from the sale; |
| ● | any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us; |
| ● | any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation; |
| ● | the public offering price; |
| ● | any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers; and |
| ● | any securities exchanges or markets on which such securities may be listed. |
If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any over-allotment option. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.
We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We may also sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or agents.
Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identify in the applicable prospectus supplement any underwriters, dealers or agents and will describe their compensation. We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against specified civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.
In connection with an offering, an underwriter may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in the offering.
Accordingly, to cover these short sales positions or to otherwise stabilize or maintain the price of the securities, the underwriters may bid for or purchase securities in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers participating in the offering are reclaimed if securities previously distributed in the offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The impositions of a penalty bid may also affect the price of the securities to the extent that it discourages resale of the securities. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
EXPENSES
We are paying all of the expenses of the registration of our securities under the Securities Act, including, to the extent applicable, registration and filing fees, printing fees and expenses, accounting fees and the legal fees of our counsel. We estimate these expenses to be approximately $40,270 which at the present time include the following categories of expenses:
SEC registration fee | | $ | 9,270 | |
Printer fees and expenses | | $ | 3,500 | |
Legal fees and expenses | | $ | 15,000 | |
Accounting fees and expenses | | $ | 12,500 | |
Total | | $ | 40,270 | |
In addition, we anticipate incurring additional expenses in the future in connection with the offering of our securities pursuant to this prospectus. Any such additional expenses will be disclosed in a prospectus supplement.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters concerning this offering will be passed upon for us by Sullivan & Worcester LLP, New York, New York. Certain legal matters with respect to the legality of the issuance of the securities offered by this prospectus and other legal matters concerning this offering relating to Israeli law will be passed upon for us by Sullivan & Worcester Tel Aviv (Har-Even & Co.), Tel Aviv, Israel.
EXPERTS
The financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for each of the three years then ended incorporated by reference into this prospectus have been so included in reliance upon the report of Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., a firm in the Deloitte Global Network, an independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon, included therein. Such consolidated financial statements are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such report given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, a substantial majority of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and a substantial of our directors and officers are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.
We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Sullivan & Worcester Tel Aviv (Har-Even & Co.), that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that among other things:
| ● | the judgment is obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel; |
| ● | the judgment is final and is not subject to any right of appeal; |
| | |
| ● | the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment was rendered allows for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts; |
| | |
| ● | 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 consumer price index 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.
