(To Prospectus dated April 21, 2023)

Common Shares

Pre-funded Warrants to purchase up to                 Common Shares

A2Z Smart Technologies Corp.

We are offering on a best efforts basis up         of our common shares, no par value (the “Common Shares”), pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus (this “offering”). The public offering price for each Common Share is $         .

We are also offering pre-funded warrants (each a “Pre-funded Warrant”) to purchase up to             Common Shares, with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, to those purchasers whose purchase of Common Shares in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Shares immediately following the consummation of this offering. The purchase price of each Pre-funded Warrant is equal to the price per Common Share being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.0001. The Pre-funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full.

The Common Shares and Pre-funded Warrants will be offered at a fixed price and are expected to be issued in a single closing. There is no minimum number of Common Shares or Pre-funded Warrants to be sold or minimum aggregate offering proceeds for this offering to close. We expect this offering to be completed on the business day of this offering and we will deliver all securities issued in connection with this offering delivery versus payment (“DVP”)/receipt versus payment (“RVP”) upon our receipt of investor funds. Accordingly, neither we nor the placement agent have made any arrangements to place investor funds in an escrow account or trust account since the placement agent will not receive investor funds in connection with the sale of securities offered hereunder.

We have engaged ThinkEquity LLC, or the placement agent or ThinkEquity, to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent has agreed to use its best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and the placement agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number of securities or dollar amount. We have agreed to pay to the placement agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in escrow, trust or similar arrangement. There is no minimum offering requirement as a condition of closing of this offering. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund if we do not sell all of the securities offered hereby. Because there is no escrow account and no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds, investors could be in a position where they have invested in us, but we have not raised sufficient proceeds in this offering to adequately fund the intended uses of the proceeds as described in this prospectus. See “Risk Factors” on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement. We will bear all costs associated with the offering. See “Plan of Distribution” on page S-15 of this prospectus supplement for more information regarding these arrangements.

In a concurrent private placement, we are also selling to certain investors up to $         of private placement Common Shares and pre-funded warrants at a purchase price of $           per share and pre-funded warrant. The private placement Common Shares, pre-funded warrants and underlying Common Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and are being offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Our Common Shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “AZ”. The closing price of our Common Shares on March 28, 2024, as reported by Nasdaq, was $0.6069 per share. There is no established trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants and we do not intend to list the Pre-funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, please read the information under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) NOR ANY STATE OR CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATOR OR STOCK EXCHANGE HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY, PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

The securities offered hereby have not been qualified for distribution by prospectus under the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada and are not being offered in Canada or to any resident of Canada.

(1) In addition, we have agreed to (i) pay for certain expenses of the placement agent and (ii) issue the placement agent or its respective designees at the closing of this offering placement agent warrants equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of Common Shares or Pre-funded Warrants, sold in this offering. See “Underwriting” beginning on page         of this prospectus supplement for additional information regarding underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated expenses.

We expect to deliver the shares, against payment, on or about April     , 2024.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

General

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement that we filed on Form F-3 (File No. 333-271226) with the SEC utilizing a “shelf” registration process (the “Registration Statement”).

Each time we conduct an offering to sell securities under the accompanying prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering, including the price, the number of securities being offered and the plan of distribution. The Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2023, and was declared effective by the SEC on April 21, 2023. The Registration Statement is effective as of the date of this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement describes the specific details regarding this offering and may add, update, or change information contained in the accompanying prospectus. The accompanying prospectus provides general information about us and our securities, some of which, such as portions of the section entitled “Plan of Distribution,” may not apply to this offering.

We have not and the placement agent has not authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any relevant free writing prospectus. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. We are not making offers to sell or solicitations to buy our securities in Canada or to any resident of Canada or any jurisdiction in which an offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making that offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make an offer or solicitation. This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering of securities and adds to, and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein filed prior to the date of this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement; provided that if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date-for example, a document incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus-the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus or the information incorporated by reference with an earlier date, you should rely on this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement, together with the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, include all material information relating to this offering. We have not, and the placement agent has not, authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information and you must not rely on any unauthorized information or representations.

You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus we have authorized for use in connection with this offering is accurate only as of the respective dates of those documents. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. You should carefully read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information and documents incorporated herein by reference herein and therein, as well as any free writing prospectus we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, before making an investment decision. See “Incorporation of Information by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the actual documents, some of which have been filed or will be filed and incorporated by reference herein. See “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus supplement. We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain and incorporate by reference certain market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe these sources are reliable, estimates as they relate to projections involve numerous assumptions, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and under similar headings in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information.

Interpretation

Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “us,” “we,” “our,” “A2Z” and the “Company” refer to A2Z Smart Technologies Corp. and our subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or as the context otherwise requires, all references to dollar amounts in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement are references to United States dollars. References to “$”, “US$” or “USD” are to United States dollars and references to “CAD$” are to Canadian dollars.

Presentation of Financial Information

The financial statements of the Company incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which we refer to as IFRS. Certain calculations included in tables and other figures in this prospectus supplement have been rounded for clarity of presentation.

The financial statements of the Company incorporated by reference were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, such that as of September 30, 2023, the Company had accumulated losses of $79.8 million and a net loss in the amount of $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of the date of the issuance of this prospectus supplement, the Company has not yet commenced generating sufficient revenues to fund its operations, and therefore depends on fundraising from new and existing investors to finance its activities.

Considering the above, the Company’s dependency on external funding for its operations raises a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement we may file constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events concerning our business and to our potential revenues, operating results, and financial condition. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “believe”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “predict”, “propose”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement or any prospectus supplement are only estimates or predictions of future events based on information currently available to our management and management’s current beliefs about the potential outcome of future events. Whether these future events will occur as management anticipates, whether we will achieve our business objectives, and whether our potential revenues, operating results, or financial condition will improve in future periods are subject to numerous risks. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements. These important factors include those that we discuss under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other sections of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as well as in our other reports filed from time to time with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus or the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus. Our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

This summary highlights certain information about us, this offering and selected information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in our securities. For a more complete understanding of our company and this offering, we encourage you to read and consider carefully the more detailed information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the information included under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement beginning on page S-9, the information included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus beginning on page 11, and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, which is described under “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Information by Reference.”

Company Overview

We are an innovative technology company operating the following four complementary business lines through our subsidiaries: (i) development and commercialization of retail “smart cart” solutions designed primarily for use in large grocery stores and supermarkets (“Cust2Mate Carts” or “Cust2Mate Products”); (ii) manufacture of precision metal parts, in part for use in our Cust2Mate Products; (iii) provision of maintenance services in Israel, including for Cust2Mate Products deployed in Israel; and (iv) development of our Fuel Tank Inertia Capsule System technology, or FTICS, a vehicle device cover for the military and civilian automotive industry. We have a network of technological partners including, among others, NCR, Toshiba, Asus, Lenovo, Accenture, Felxtronics, Edgify, and Sensepass.

In 2020, we began to rapidly develop smart carts for the retail industry, with the aim of becoming the leading mobile checkout system in the international market by providing the optimal solution for shoppers and supermarket retailers. We have since focused the majority of our strategic planning, investment, research, development and marketing efforts on our Cust2Mate Products, as management currently believes our operational capabilities are most effectively leveraged by growing market share in the smart cart industry. As such, in November 2023, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved a proposed spinoff of the Company’s 80% interest in Advanced Automotive Innovations Inc. (“AAI”).

On February 3, 2022, we completed the acquisition of precision metal parts manufacturer, Isramat Ltd.

Smart Cart Products and Services

Cust2Mate is a mobile self-checkout shopping cart solution that streamlines the retail shopping experience. With a user-friendly smart algorithm, touch screen and computer vision technology, our Cust2Mate smart cart scans, recognizes and adds to a displayed shopping list, each item placed in the cart, providing the shopper with real-time information regarding items in the cart and tabulating the total cost of purchase. Our in-cart solution also enables shoppers to use the cart as the point of sale by use of mobile payment applications, e-wallets and other financial services. Cust2Mate’s point of sale feature effectively increases overall efficiency of the shopping experience, by expanding payment options for shoppers and retailers alike, reducing the need for cashiers, and reducing checkout wait times, which ultimately leads to improved customer engagement and satisfaction.

We combine scanning, computer vision, security scales and other anti-fraud/theft technologies, with a large screen tablet capable of relaying real-time shopping information and value-added digital services. Our solution is stackable and lightweight, with a robust recognition platform that provides a higher level of accuracy in product identification, leveraging in-store Wi-Fi and cutting edge software.

For retailers, Cust2Mate enables improved inventory management, increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, increased anti-fraud protection, reduced theft and real-time data analytics and insights regarding consumer behavior. Our solutions are designed to easily integrate with existing store systems.

The Cust2Mate touch screen allows for the display of advertisements, promotions and other digital services which can bring added value to shoppers and additional revenue sources to retailers.

Our largest smart carts are available in 212 liter and 275 liter sizes, with or without a produce scale (for on-cart weighing of fruit, vegetables and other items priced based on weight), as customized at the discretion of retailers. Ideal for larger stores, our smart carts are presently deployed in the Yochananof retail chain in Israel and in pilot programs throughout the world.

We also offer smaller, lighter smart carts, available in 180 liter and 75 liter sizes, with the same touch screen and security features of our larger carts. Our smaller carts are ideal for urban groceries and supermarkets, drugstores and duty-free shops, where aisles space tends to be limited.

We have launched a modular version of the Cust2Mate smart cart, allowing local set-up with modular parts, making mass production and deployment of our smart carts faster and more efficient. With a detachable control unit, our modular offering will employ the same technologies as our current offerings. We leverage third-party partners for the manufacture of our Cust2Mate Products in the locations we serve.

Our Customers

M. Yochananof and Sons (1988) Ltd., or Yochananof, a large Israeli retailer, has been our largest Cust2Mate customer to date. Yochananof placed an initial order for an aggregate of 1,300 Cust2Mate smart carts which we have fulfilled. As of September 30, 2023, we have delivered all the smart carts in connection with Yochananof’s initial purchase order. On April 27, 2023, Yochananof delivered a non-binding letter of intent to purchase up to an additional 1,700 smart carts on terms and conditions to be agreed by definitive agreement. In addition, we have entered into a maintenance and support agreement with Yochananof. Our Maintenance Services division handles the maintenance and support services required for Cust2Mate Products deployed in Israel.

HaStok Concept Ltd. (“Hastok”), one of Israel’s leading home design and household essentials retail chain with approximately 40 stores across Israel, delivered a purchase order on April 20, 2023. The agreement marked a significant expansion for our smart cart solution into a new vertical outside of grocery retail. The Hastok purchase order was for up to 1,000 smart carts and is comprised of an upfront payment, a guaranteed monthly payment, and a revenue share agreement on added value solutions, such as advertising. On October 31, 2023, Hastok increased its order by an additional 1,000 smart carts, to a total of 2,000 smart carts.

On May 29, 2023, the Company signed an agreement with Morton Williams Supermarkets, a U.S. supermarket with locations throughout the New York City metropolitan area (“Morton Williams”), for the order for up to 100 Cust2Mate smart carts. The Morton Williams order follows our successful pilot of Cust2Mate smart carts at the grocer’s West End Avenue store in Manhattan.

On June 13, 2023, the Company entered into a significant partnership with IR2S, which is intended to deploy 30,000 smart carts between 2023 and 2025 across renowned retail chains in France. With IR2S providing integration and other services, including Monoprix and the Casino Group (who operate over 700 and over 10,500 stores respectively), the logistics and service support for the smart carts will be efficiently carried out. IR2S, a leading integrator of advanced retail technologies (including integration and other services) to many prestigious clients in France, will play a pivotal role in managing the installation, support, and maintenance of the smart carts. IR2S is well-positioned to manage and integrate Cust2Mate’s smart cart solution, providing local hardware and software support to ensure a seamless customer experience. The definitive agreement with IR2S was signed in September 2023. The first purchase order to deliver 250 smart carts to Monoprix stores was received in October 2023, with anticipation for deployment at 20 select Monoprix locations. The first batch of smart carts is scheduled to be delivered to the Monoprix Monop Malakoff store near the Champs Elysées, Paris in the second quarter of 2024.

On September 14, 2023, the Company entered into a non-binding definitive agreement with HEX 1011, a leading integrator of technological solutions for retail chains, intended to deploy 20,000 smart carts across Asia Pacific (APAC) from 2023 through 2025. The first delivery of Cust2Mate’s smart carts is scheduled   for this year. HEX 1011 will ensure the efficient rollout and maintenance of the carts for elite retail chains in Thailand and Malaysia.

Since March 2023, as part of the Carrefour’s Connected Cart Project, the Cust2mate smart carts have undergone rigorous testing at Carrefour’s flagship Hypermarket store in Ste Genevieve Des Bois, near Paris, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback and achieving excellent customer satisfaction reviews. We have currently entered the rollout stage of Carrefour’s Connected Cart Project.

On January 14, 2024, the Company signed an initial purchase order for 2,000 smart carts to be deployed in one of the largest retail chains in Australia which has over 1,000 stores. The deployment is expected to commence during the first half of 2024. The purchase order includes an upfront fee, guaranteed monthly payments, and a revenue-sharing model for the value-added services provided by the Company’s smart cart technology.

On January 24, 2024, subsequent to the approval of its board of directors, the Company signed an initial purchase order for 500 smart carts to be deployed in one of the largest retail chains in Belgium, with the smart carts expected to be deployed by the end of 2024. The purchase order includes an upfront fee, guaranteed monthly payments, and a revenue-sharing model for the value-added services provided by the Company’s smart cart technology.

In March 2024 the Company announced that will commence fulfilling its backlog of orders of its new generation Cust2Mate 3.0 smart carts. The first deployment is expected to start in April 2024, at the Yochananof supermarket chain, one of the largest retail chains in Israel, with deployments at Morton Williams in the United States and Monoprix in France and others, to follow.

Our Markets

We aspire to be the global leading provider of smart carts and associated technology solutions, providing a superior customer experience and cutting-edge platform for digital value-added services, easing the pain points for all stakeholders in the retail industry.

The market for smart carts is large and diverse, and includes grocery stores, hardware stores, household essentials, “do it yourself (DIY)” retailers, discount stores, warehouse stores, convenience stores, drug stores, duty free shops and similar outlets.

We have designed the range of our Cust2Mate smart carts to accommodate the needs of a varied customer base: large carts for hypermarkets or large stores, medium carts for supermarkets or medium sized stores, and small carts for city stores, drug stores, duty free shops, etc. We are also able to customize our carts with a “look and feel” unique to each retailer as requested.

Business Model

We envision deriving several distinct revenue streams from our Cust2Mate Products:

Competition and Competitive Strengths

There are a number of companies currently offering smart carts to the retail industry in one form or another. Our Cust2Mate Products, and a small minority of other industry players, offer mobile self-checkout smart carts in which goods are scanned when placed in the smart cart. Most other industry participants offer solutions based on “Scan and Go” or image recognition technologies. We believe we are only smart cart providing a full end-to-end turnkey solution for all customers. Below is a brief summary of the various technologies:

In addition, in an attempt to mitigate the increasing frustration of shoppers at the lengthening queues in the stores, many retailers have installed self-checkout (SCO) stations with the aim that these would lead to a quicker checkout and reduced labor cost. However, these SCO stations have not adequately solved such problems, as check-out queues have not disappeared, and the SCO stations have been accompanied by equipment issues, high up-front costs, consumer confusion, sub-optimal use of space and increased risk of theft.

We believe that our Cust2Mate Products have, and can further develop, the following competitive strengths:

We continue to improve our smart carts. We have developed a lighter and easier to maneuver model of the Cust2Mate smart cart. In addition, as our carts are expensive, retailers do not allow carts to leave the store’s premises. To alleviate this, we have developed a modular smart cart with a detachable control unit, allowing the cart, without its expensive components, to leave the store premises.

Marketing and Sales

We are currently marketing directly to targeted customers and indirectly through local partners. In Israel, we sell our Cust2Mate Products directly to our retailer customers. Outside of Israel, our local partners are responsible for support, training, implementation and sales of our Cust2Mate Products, while we focus on product development and direct marketing with strategic customers.

We currently have local distribution and service partners in the United States, France, Thailand and Romania. In the United States, we have a non-exclusive relationship with our distributor, who provides products and services to several thousands of stores nationally. On July 12, 2023, we established a wholly owned subsidiary Cust2mate USA Inc. (“Cust2Mate USA”) as a strategic move to serve the thriving U.S. retail market more effectively and appointed Joe Szala as General Manager. Mr. Szala brings a wealth of experience in retail, grocery, and consumer packaged goods.

In France and Thailand our distributor (exclusive for certain chains) is a leading supplier and integrator of retail technologies throughout each respective country. Lastly, in Romania, we have an exclusive distributor relationship with a leading recognized information technology provider to the retail industry in Romania.

Our go-to-market strategy is built on the retail, grocery, and DIY markets, with a focus on supermarkets and hypermarket food chains within Tier 1 (thousands of stores) and Tier 2 (hundreds of stores). We will manage targeted customers for Cust2Mate Products in selected regions directly, leveraging select local partners for sales and distribution to chains in Tier 2 and Tier 3 (tens of stores). Our local partners will take full responsibility for support, training, implementation and sales, while we will focus on product development and direct contact with strategic customers.

We presently contemplate that we would (through our subsidiary Cust2Mate Ltd. or through subsidiaries which it would establish for each country), be the provider of the smart carts to the retailers and that Cust2Mate would enter into a revenue share or other commercial arrangement with its local distribution and service partners.

Organizational Structure

The following chart lists our material subsidiaries as at the date of this prospectus supplement, and our direct and indirect ownership interest in each of these subsidiaries:

Recent Events

Proposed Spin-Off of Advanced Automotive Innovations Inc.

In November 2023 the Company announced the unanimous approval of a plan by its board of directors to spin off its 80% interest in AAI, which is engaged in the development of our FTICS technology. As part of the restructuring, AAI is expected to become a publicly traded company, such that all shareholders of the Company will receive an equivalent pro-rata shareholding in AAI. The board has authorized the engagement of experienced legal, financial, tax, securities, and other consultants and auditors to oversee the restructuring process. The restructuring is subject to receipt of requisite corporate and shareholder approvals as well as receipt of all regulatory approvals. The Company anticipates that the restructuring will be completed in the third quarter of 2024.

Recent Financings

The Company in December 2023 sold 1,295,783 Common Shares and warrants to purchase 647,891 Common Shares at a purchase price of $1.15 per share and accompanying warrant for gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million in a registered direct offering. In January 2024 the Company sold 2,806,302 Common Shares and warrants to purchase 1,403,151 Common Shares at a purchase price of $1.15 per share and accompanying warrant for gross proceeds of approximately $3.23 million in another registered direct offering on the same terms. In connection with these transactions the Company issued warrants to purchase 328,167 Common Shares to certain non-U.S. residents. These warrants were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving a public offering.

The financial statements incorporated herein by reference were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, such that as of September 30, 2023, the Company had accumulated losses of $79.8 million and a net loss in the amount of $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of the date of the issuance of this prospectus supplement, the Company has not yet commenced generating sufficient revenues to fund its operations, and therefore depends on fundraising from new and existing investors to finance its activities.

Considering the above, the Company’s dependency on external funding for its operations raises a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Changes to Board of Directors and Management; Formation of Advisory Board

In July 2023, Adi Vazan was appointed to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Vazan is an experienced entrepreneur and accomplished senior executive, with extensive and diverse experience in managing companies and organizations, with understanding of both the technological and business aspects inherent in the Company’s activities. Also in July 2023, Niv Raz resigned from the Company’s board of directors. His resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company, its policies, or management.

In September 2023, Cust2Mate Ltd. formed an advisory board, to help guide strategic initiatives and drive company growth. The Company is leveraging the advisory board to help scale and expand its Cust2Mate solution. In September 2023, the Company appointed Steve Robinson as a member of the advisory board. With over 30 years of experience in supply chain and operations, Mr. Robinson brings a deep understanding of the retail industry from his roles at Walmart and Starbucks. Mr. Robinson previously served as the Vice President of Global Supply Chain at Walmart Inc., one of the world’s largest and most influential retailers. In this role, he oversaw the management of the company’s supply chain, driving operational efficiencies and ensuring seamless logistics across Walmart’s extensive network. In a similar role at the Starbucks Corporation as the Vice President of the Starbucks Center of Supply Chain Excellence, he played a key part in fueling hyper-growth and delivering substantial value, contributing significantly to Starbucks’ global success. In September 2023, the Company appointed Scott Ukrop as a member of the advisory board. With a wealth of experience in retail grocery, consumer packaged goods, venture capital, and strategic advisory services, Mr. Ukrop will play a pivotal role by aligning Cust2Mate’s units and offerings with the dynamic and evolving needs of major retailers. Mr. Ukrop’s extensive 35-year experience spanning across retail and food will help the company in its efforts to elevate the customer experience and deliver substantial value to its clients. Mr. Ukrop has achieved significant milestones in the retail grocery industry as he led the evolution of Ukrop’s Super Markets’ valued customer program.

In March 2024, Gadi Graus was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s subsidiary, Cust2mate Ltd. in place of Guy Mordoch. Mr. Graus currently serves as a director and President of the Company, and as a director of Cust2Mate Ltd. Prior to joining the Company, Gadi Graus was a senior partner at Shibolet & Co., Law Offices, one of Israel’s largest law firms.

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus reflects and assumes no exercise of our outstanding warrants or stock options, including no exercise of the warrants to be issued to the placement agent in connection with this offering.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the securities offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below and discussed under the sections captioned “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the information and documents incorporated by reference herein. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Information by Reference.” The Company’s business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely impacted as a result of these risks. In that case, the trading price of the Common Shares could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment in the securities. There is no assurance that any risk management steps taken will avoid future loss due to the occurrence of the below described risks or other unforeseen risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that are currently deemed immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s business prospects, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Risks Related to the Company

The Company’s current dependency on external funding for its operations raises a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not continue as a going concern, investors could lose their entire investment.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, such that as of September 30, 2023, the Company had accumulated losses of $79.8 million and a net loss in the amount of $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the Company has not yet commenced generating sufficient revenues to fund its operations, and therefore depends on fundraising from new and existing investors to finance its activities. There can be no assurance that we will ever become profitable or continue as a going concern.

The Company has incurred significant losses and there can be no assurance when, or if, the Company will achieve or maintain profitability.

The Company realized a net loss of approximately $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, $39.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $80 million as of September 30, 2023 and $67 million as of December 31, 2022. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the provision of the Company’s maintenance services and sale and development of the Company’s products, the Company is unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when the Company will become profitable, if at all. Expected future operating losses will have an adverse effect on the Company’s cash resources, shareholders’ equity and working capital. The Company’s failure to become and remain profitable could depress the value of the common shares and impair the Company’s ability to raise capital, expand its business, maintain its development efforts, or continue its operations. A decline in the Company’s value could also cause a holder of common shares to lose all or part of such holder’s investment in the Company.

The Company depends on one customer for the smart-cart sales, a major source of the Company’s current revenues; the loss of this customer may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results.

Currently, one customer is responsible for a significant portion of the Company’s smart-cart revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, this customer constituted 54% (unaudited), 40% and 0% of the total revenues, respectively. The percentage of the Company’s sales to the Company’s major customers may fluctuate from period to period, and the Company’s principal customers may also vary from year to year. Significant reduction in sales to any of the major customers, or the loss of a major customer, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition.

Failure to remediate material weakness in internal accounting controls could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

Our management has identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to lack of sufficient accounting resources with relevant technical accounting skills to address issues related to the financial statement close process, and because of the size of the Company and its staff complement, we were not able to sufficiently design internal controls to provide the appropriate level of oversight regarding the financial recordkeeping and review of the Company’s financial reporting. Our management has concluded that, due to such material weakness, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2022.

To remediate the material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting described above, we have initiated remedial measures and are taking additional measures to remediate this material weakness. First, we are continuing to roll out an enhanced financial and accounting system. Second, we have hired additional personnel. Third, we are strengthening our controls financial reporting, with the assistance of outside consultants, experts in the controls and procedures over financing reporting. Consistent with our stage of development, we continue to rely on risk-mitigating procedures during our financial closing process in order to provide comfort that the financial statements are presented fairly in accordance with IFRS.

Such changes may not, however, be effective in establishing the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting. If the material weakness is not adequately remedied, or if we identify further material weaknesses in our internal controls, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our securities. In addition, investors’ perceptions that our internal control over financial reporting is inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements may materially adversely affect the price of our securities.

The Company’s principal offices and a significant number of customers are located in Israel and, therefore, the business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel and in the Middle East.

The Company’s operational offices and a significant number of customers are located in Israel. In addition, a majority of the Company’s employees, officers and directors are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in the Middle East may directly affect the business. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its neighboring countries. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect the Company’s operations and results of operations.

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 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 in October 2023, the Israeli government declared that the country was at war and the Israeli military began to call-up reservists for active duty. To date, none of our members of management nor significant number of employees is in active military reserve duty. Military service call ups that result in absences of personnel from us for an extended period of time may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is continuing with its operations both in Israel and globally. The Company continues to assess the effects of the state of war on its financial statements and business. 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.

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. 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.

Continued hostilities between Israel and its neighbors and any future armed conflict, terrorist activity or political instability in the region could adversely affect our operations in Israel and adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. 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.

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions and could adversely affect our results of operations.

Further, in the past, the State of Israel and Israeli companies have been subjected to economic boycotts. Several countries still restrict business with the State of Israel and with Israeli companies. These restrictive laws and policies may have an adverse impact on our operating results, financial condition or the expansion of our business. A campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions has been undertaken against Israel, which could also adversely impact our business.

Israel’s most recent general elections were held on April 9, 2019, September 17, 2019, March 2, 2020, March 23, 2021 and November 1, 2022. In addition, proposed judicial reform has sparked widespread protests across Israel. Uncertainty surrounding future elections and the outcome of the judicial reform in Israel may continue and the political situation in Israel may further deteriorate. 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.

There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

The Company’s continued eligibility to maintain the listing of the Common Shares on Nasdaq depends on a number of factors, including the price of the Common Shares, the number of persons that hold the Common Shares and the Company’s shareholders’ equity. If Nasdaq delists the Common Shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet its listing standards, and the Company is not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, then the Common Shares could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, the Company and its shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

Risks Related to This Offering

An investment in the Common Shares offered hereby is extremely speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

An investment in the Common Shares offered hereby is extremely speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in us, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds we receive from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds we receive in this offering, including for the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether our management is using the net proceeds appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of our net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our Common Shares to decline. Pending their use, we may invest our net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our shareholders.

The preliminary estimated financial and operating data included in this prospectus supplement has not been audited or reviewed by our independent registered public accounting firm and is derived through estimates by management and, accordingly, such preliminary estimated financial and operating data may differ significantly from our actual results.

This prospectus supplement contains preliminary estimated ranges of certain financial and operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Such estimates are preliminary and inherently uncertain and subject to change as we finalize our financial and operating data for the fourth quarter of 2023. There can be no assurance that our final results for the fourth quarter of 2023 will not differ materially from these estimates. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to this preliminary estimated financial data.

Potential volatility of the price of our Common Shares.

The market price for our Common Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the following: (i) actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly results of operations; (ii) recommendations by securities research analysts; (iii) changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other issuers that investors deem comparable to the Company; (iv) addition or departure of the Company’s executive officers and other key personnel; (v) expiration of transfer restrictions on outstanding Common Shares; (vi) sales or perceived sales of additional Common Shares; (vii) significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving the Company or its competitors; (viii) the announcement of new customers, partners or suppliers; (ix) terrorist attacks, natural disasters, regional and global conflicts, sanctions, laws and regulations that prohibit or limit operations in certain jurisdictions, public health crises (such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic) or other such events impacting countries where we have operations and (x) news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in the Company’s industries or target markets.

Financial markets have recently experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of public entities and that have, in many cases, been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such entities. Accordingly, the market price of the Common Shares may decline even if the Company’s operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue for a protracted period of time, the Company’s operations and the trading price of the Common Shares may be materially adversely affected.

Additional offerings in the future may dilute then existing shareholders’ percentage ownership of our company.

Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital, we may need to issue additional Common Shares or securities convertible or exercisable for Common Shares, including convertible preferred shares, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then existing shareholders.

Additionally, sales by existing shareholders of a large number of our Common Shares in the public market could also affect the market price of our Common Shares.

New investors in our Common Shares and the Pre-funded Warrants will experience immediate and substantial dilution after this offering.

Since the offering price for our Common Shares and the Pre-funded Warrants in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of Common Shares outstanding prior to this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Common Shares you purchase in this offering. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you participate in this offering.

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop for the Pre-funded Warrants.

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-funded Warrants will be limited. Further, the existence of the Pre-funded Warrants may act to reduce both the trading volume and the trading price of our common shares.

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-funded Warrants, holders of Pre-funded Warrants purchased in this offering will have no rights as shareholders until such holders exercise their Pre-funded Warrants and acquire our Common Shares.

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-funded Warrants, until holders of Pre-funded Warrants acquire Common Shares upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants, holders of Pre-funded Warrants will have no rights with respect to the Common Shares underlying such Pre-funded Warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of our Common Shares only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of our Common Shares and Pre-funded Warrants in this offering will be approximately $           million. We cannot predict when or if the Pre-funded Warrants will be exercised. It is possible that the Pre-funded Warrants may never be exercised.  This estimate excludes the proceeds, if any, from the sale of the Common Shares sold in the concurrent private placement. If all of the Pre-funded Warrants sold in this offering were exercised for cash and including the proceeds from the private placement Common Shares sold in the concurrent private placement, we would receive additional net proceeds of approximately $ million.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for continued development and expansion of existing business, including fulfillment of contracted smart cart backlog orders and acceleration of the onboarding process for new clients, and for working capital purposes.

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of such proceeds. There may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a re-allocation of funds may be necessary or advisable. The actual amount that we spend in connection with each of the intended uses of proceeds may vary significantly from the amounts specified above, and will depend on a number of factors, including those listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement, the prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. If we do not invest or apply the proceeds of this offering in ways that improve our operating results, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and consolidated capitalization as of September 30, 2023:

The pro forma as adjusted amounts shown below are unaudited and represent management’s estimate. The information in this table should be read in conjunction with and is qualified by reference to the financial statements and notes thereto and other financial information incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.

The above discussion is based on 36,964,991 Common Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023, and excludes, as of that date, the following:

The financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, such that as of September 30, 2023, the Company had accumulated losses of $79.8 million and a net loss in the amount of $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of the date of the issuance of this prospectus supplement, the Company has not yet commenced generating sufficient revenues to fund its operations, and therefore depends on fundraising from new and existing investors to finance its activities.

Considering the above, the Company’s dependency on external funding for its operations raises a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

DILUTION

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

Our net tangible book value is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the number of shares of our Common Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023, was negative $3,719,000, or negative $0.10 per Common Share. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of Common Shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Shares immediately after this offering.

After giving effect to (i) the sale by us in this offering of         Common Shares and the Pre-funded Warrants at an offering price of $        per share and $           per Pre-funded Warrant, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and (ii) the Pro Forma Adjustments, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023, would have been approximately $        million, or approximately         per Common Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $         per Common Share to our existing security holders and an immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $         per share to purchasers of our Common Shares in this offering, as illustrated by the following table:

The above discussion is based on 36,964,991 Common Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023, and excludes, as of that date, the following:

The above discussion also assumes no exercise of the warrants to be issued to the placement agent in connection with this offering.

To the extent that options and warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2023, have been or may be exercised or converted or we issue other securities, investors may experience further dilution.

Plan of Distribution

We are offering           Common Shares for gross proceeds of up to $        before deduction of placement agent commissions and offering expenses, in a best-efforts offering.

Pursuant to a placement agency agreement, dated as of March        , 2024, we have engaged ThinkEquity LLC to act as our exclusive placement agent (“ThinkEquity” or the “placement agent”) to solicit offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling any securities, nor is it required to arrange for the purchase and sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities, other than to use its “reasonable best efforts” to arrange for the sale of the securities by us. There is no minimum amount of proceeds that is a condition to closing of this offering. We will enter into a securities purchase agreement directly with the investors, at the investor’s option, who purchase our securities in this offering. Investors who do not enter into a securities purchase agreement shall rely solely on this prospectus supplement in connection with the purchase of our securities in this offering. The placement agent may engage one or more subagents or selected dealers in connection with this offering.

The placement agency agreement provides that the placement agent’s obligations are subject to conditions contained in the placement agency agreement.

We will deliver the securities being issued to the investors upon receipt of investor funds for the purchase of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement. We expect to deliver the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus on or about March        , 2024.

Placement Agent Fees, Commissions and Expenses

Upon the closing of this offering, we will pay the placement agent a cash transaction fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds to us from the sale of the securities in the offering, provided, however, that the cash fee shall be 1.5% for proceeds raised from existing shareholders of the Company or their affiliates, proceeds raised from investors residing in Israel, or proceeds raised from finders.

Pursuant to the placement agency agreement, we will agree to reimburse the placement agent for (a) certain accountable expenses and fees of the placement agent, including the placement agent’s legal counsel, not to exceed $100,000; (b) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to background checks of our officers, directors and entities in an amount not to exceed $15,000 in the aggregate; and (c) for data services and communication expenses up to $3,000 associated with bound volumes of the public offering materials as well as commemorative mementos and lucite tombstones. We have paid an expense deposit of $25,000 to the placement agent, which will be applied against the out-of-pocket accountable expenses that will be paid by us to the placement agent in connection with this offering, and will be reimbursed to us to the extent not actually incurred in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A).

The following table shows the public offering price, placement agent fees and proceeds, before expenses, to us.

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering, including cash fees of $        to certain non-US residents in connection with the offering, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the placement agent commission, will be approximately $        , all of which are payable by us. This figure does not include, among other things, the placement agent’s fees and expenses (including the legal fees, costs and expenses for the placement agent’s legal counsel) up to $100,000.

Placement Agent’s Warrants

Upon closing of this offering, we have agreed to issue the placement agent warrants (“Placement Agent’s Warrants”) to purchase up to Common Shares (5% of the aggregate number of common shares and Pre-funded Warrants sold in this offering). The Placement Agent’s Warrants will be exercisable at a per share exercise price equal $[●], which is equal to 125% of the public offering price per Common Share in this offering. The Placement Agent’s Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the two and one-half-year period commencing 180 days from the commencement of sales of the Common Shares and Pre-funded Warrants in this offering.

The Placement Agent’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1)(A) of FINRA. The placement agent (or permitted assignees under Rule 5110(e)(2)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days following the commencement of sales of the securities issued in this offering. In addition, the Placement Agent’s Warrants provide for registration rights upon request, in certain cases. The sole demand registration right provided will not be greater than five years from the commencement of sales of the securities issued in this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C). The piggyback registration rights provided will not be greater than seven years from the commencement of sales of the securities issued in this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent’s Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Placement Agent’s Warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Common Shares at a price below the warrant exercise price.

Right of First Refusal

We have granted the placement agent a right of first refusal, for a period of five months from the closing of the offering, to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent, at the placement agent’s sole and exclusive discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all of our equity linked financings (each, a “Subject Transaction”), or any successor (or any of our subsidiaries), on terms and conditions customary to the placement agent for such Subject Transactions. We have agreed to grant an extended right of first refusal to the placement agent based on certain contingencies agreed upon between us and the placement agent.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the placement agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the placement agent may be required to make for these liabilities.

Regulation M

The placement agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the securities sold by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the placement agent would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities by the placement agent acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the placement agent:

Lock-Up Agreements

Our directors, executive officers and affiliates (such persons, the “lock-up parties”) have entered into lock-up agreements prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each lock-up party, with limited exceptions, for a period of 45 days after the date of the closing of this offering (such period, the “restricted period”), may not (and may not cause any of their direct or indirect affiliates to) (1) offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position with respect to any common shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common shares (including, without limitation, common shares or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by such lock-up parties in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant (collectively with the common shares, the “lock-up securities”)), whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of lock-up securities, in cash or otherwise, or (2) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Prohibition on Subsequent Equity Sales

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before deciding to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement carefully, including the sections of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”, “Forward-Looking Statements”, the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein (together with any material changes thereto contained in subsequent filed reports on Form 6-K), our consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus and all other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Our Company

The Company was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”), on January 15, 2018 under the name ECC Ventures 1 Corp. (“ECC1”). On July 20, 2020, the Company changed its name to “A2Z Smart Technologies Corp.” to better reflect the Company’s business plan.

The Company’s principal place of business and its registered and records office of the Company is located at 1600 - 609 Granville Street Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V7Y 1C3; telephone +16475585564. The Company has appointed Cogency Global Inc., with an address at 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168; telephone 1-800-221-0102, as its agent for service of process in the United States. The Company’s operational offices are located at Alon 2 Tower, 94 Yigal Alon St., Tel Aviv, Israel.

The Company is an innovative technology company specializing in the application of the Company’s existing military and civilisation technology for supermarket “smart carts” (the “Cust2Mate Carts”). The Company, through its subsidiaries, has four main business lines: (i) the development and commercialization of retail automation solutions, in particular for large grocery stores and supermarkets, including the Cust2Mate Carts (the “Cust2Mate Products”); (ii) manufacturing of precision metal parts (following the acquisition of a new subsidiary, Isramat, as outlined in further detail below); (iii) the provision of maintenance services utilizing the application of advanced engineering capabilities (the “Maintenance Services”); and (iv) the development of the Company’s FTICS technology and a vehicle device cover for the military and civilian automotive industry (collectively, the “Automotive Products”).

Historically, the Company’s revenues were principally generated from the maintenance services that are provided to the Israeli military/security market. The Company’s products, which have historically been sold to the Israeli military/security markets, include unmanned remote-controlled vehicles of various sizes and capabilities designed for intricate bomb disposal, counter terrorism, and firefighting, as well as energy storage power packs, all of which are fully commercialized for military use.

During 2020, the Company began to rapidly adapt its existing technology and know-how for the civilian markets, including the development of its Cust2Mate Products. This was in addition to the continuation of the Company’s existing sales to the Israeli military/security markets. The expansion into the civilian markets led to significantly increased expenditures which the Company was able to finance through a series of equity raises in 2021 and 2022. The Company has not, and does not intend to, export any military or defense related technology and accordingly, no approvals are required.

In 2022, and through 2023, the Company continues to focus its attention on its Cust2Mate Products division and aims to become the leading mobile self-checkout system in the international market, providing the optimum solution which simultaneously meets the needs of both shoppers and supermarket retailers. The Company will continue to sell its Maintenance Services in Israel only and has suspended the further development of its military products. The Maintenance Services division of the Company is self-sustaining financially. It provides a steady base for the Company’s operations and the Company intends to maintain this operation and expand it to cover the maintenance and support services required by the Cust2mate Products. To the extent that future research, development and marketing expenditures are concerned, the Company currently intends on investing the majority of its resources in the smart cart industry and towards the development of the Cust2Mate Products. The Company believes its current technological and operational capabilities are most effectively focused on growing the Company’s position in the smart cart industry.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Isramat, a privately held Israeli company. This acquisition vertically integrates certain manufacturing capabilities for the production of the Cust2Mate Products, such as precision metal fabrication of parts, while complementing existing contract manufacturing partnerships to support the Company’s growth.

The raw materials required by the Company’s subsidiaries are readily available from multiple suppliers worldwide and their purchase costs do not fluctuate more than standard raw materials.

The following chart sets out all of the Company’s material subsidiaries as at the date hereof, their jurisdictions of incorporation and the Company’s direct and indirect voting interest in each of these subsidiaries:

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer

Emerging Growth Company

We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues; the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; the issuance, in any three-year period, by us of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to a U.S. registration.

As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other publicly traded entities that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include: (i) the option to present only two years of audited financial statements and related discussion in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our filings with the SEC; (ii) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; (iii) not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); (iv) not being required to submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency,” and “say-on-golden parachutes”; and (v) not being required to disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

Foreign Private Issuer

We report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. 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 U.S. domestic public companies, including: (i) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and (iii) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specific information, and current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

Risk Factors

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and under similar headings in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, as updated by our subsequent filings, some of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

Offer Statistics and Expected Timetable

We may sell from time to time pursuant to this prospectus (as may be detailed in prospectus supplements) an indeterminate number of securities as shall have a maximum aggregate offering price of $200,000,000. The actual per share price 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 (see “Plan of Distribution” below).

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities

We are a company organized and existing under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, several of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against them or against us, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, investors should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us, our officers or directors, or other said persons, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such directors, officers or experts predicated upon the United States federal securities laws or any securities or other laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States.

In addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law to original actions instituted in Canada. It may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Canada.

Use of Proceeds

Unless we indicate a different use in an accompanying prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from our sale of the offered securities may be used for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, sales and marketing, research and development expenditures and acquisitions of new technologies and investments.

Until the net proceeds have been used, we may invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments.

The applicable prospectus supplement will provide more details on the use of proceeds of any specific offering.

Capitalization and Indebtedness

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe any material change, and the effect of such material change, on our share and loan capitalization that will result from the issuance of securities pursuant to such prospectus supplement.

Since December 31, 2022, there have been no changes in our consolidated share or debt capital, other than as follows:

Description of the Securities We May Offer

This prospectus contains summary descriptions of the common shares, warrants, rights and units that we may offer from time to time.

The following description of our share capital and provisions of our articles are summaries of material terms and provisions and are qualified by reference to our articles, copies of which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Common Shares

The holders of our common shares are entitled to one vote for each share held at any meeting of shareholders. The holders of our common shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by our board of directors. Subject to the rights of the registered holders of the preferred shares, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the registered holders of the Company’s common shares are entitled to share, pari passu, on a share for share basis, in the distribution of the remaining property or assets of the Company. There are no pre-emptive, redemption, purchase or conversion rights attaching to our common shares. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common shares. The common shares offered in this offering, upon payment and delivery in accordance with the underwriting agreement, will be fully paid and non-assessable.

Holders of common shares are entitled to receive notice of, to attend and to vote at any meetings of our shareholders, other than any meeting of holders of another class of our shares that are entitled to vote separately as a class at such meeting.

Subject to the rights of the holders of preferred shares, if any are authorized and outstanding, the holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends when declared by the directors out of funds or assets properly available for the payment of dividends, in such amount and in such form as the directors may from time to time determine, provided however that such dividends shall not be paid if doing so would reduce the value of our net assets to less than the total redemption amount of all issued preferred shares (if any).

In the event of our dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and subject to the prior rights of the holders of the preferred shares, holders of common shares will be entitled to share equally in our remaining property and assets, if any, subject to the right of the holders of preferred shares, as a class, to receive, before any distribution of any part of our assets among the holders of common shares, the redemption amount in respect of such preferred shares, being that amount as determined by our directors at the time of the issuance of such preferred shares.

Description of Preferred Shares to be Issued

The preferred shares may be issued at any time, or from time to time, in one or more series. Before any preferred shares of a particular series are issued, our board of directors shall, by resolution, fix the number of preferred shares that will form such series and shall, by resolution, fix the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the preferred shares of such series. The preferred shares of each series shall rank on a parity with the preferred shares of every other series with respect to priority in payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders, for the purpose of winding-up of its affairs.

The preferred shares shall be entitled to preference over the common shares and any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the preferred shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs. The preferred shares may also be given such other preferences over the common shares and any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the preferred shares as may be fixed by our board of directors as to the respective series authorized to be issued.

As of the date hereof, the Company has no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

Description of Warrants to be Issued

Subject to receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, we may issue warrants independently in one or more series to purchase common shares or preferred shares, or in any combination of those securities, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, warrants may be issued independently or together with the underlying securities, and may be attached to or separate from the underlying securities. We may issue series of warrants under a separate warrant agreement between us and a warrant agent. The following summary outlines some of the general terms and provisions of the warrants that we may issue from time to time. Specific terms of a series of warrants and any related warrant agreement will be stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and provisions of the warrants and any related warrant agreement, which we will file with the SEC in connection with the issuance of that series of warrants. You should carefully consider the actual provisions of the warrants and any related warrant agreement.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms, where applicable, of warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

Any material U.S. federal income tax consequences and other special considerations with respect to any warrants offered under this prospectus will also be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or to exercise voting rights, if any.

Description of Rights to be Issued

Subject to receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, we may issue rights to our shareholders for the purchase of common shares or other securities, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. These rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the shareholder receiving the rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of such rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement which we will enter into with a bank or trust company, as rights agent, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any offering of rights for which this prospectus is being delivered, including the following:

Any material U.S. federal income tax consequences and other special considerations with respect to any rights offered under this prospectus will also be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Description of Units to be Issued

Subject to receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, we may issue, separately or together with, or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of other securities, units comprised of one or more of the securities described in this prospectus in any combination, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit also is 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 relating to the units we may offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among others: the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, and whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately; any provision for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising those units; and whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form. This summary is therefore subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of any applicable unit agreement, including any definitions of terms used therein. Your rights will be defined by the terms of any applicable unit agreement, not the summary provided herein. This summary is also subject to and qualified by reference to the description of the particular terms of a particular unit described in the applicable prospectus supplement or supplements.

Plan of Distribution

We may sell the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time by one or more of the following methods, or any combination thereof, or through any other method permitted by law: to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers, with or without an underwriting syndicate, for them to offer and sell to the public; directly to one or more purchasers in negotiated purchases or in competitively bid transactions; through designated agents; directly to holders of warrants exercisable for our securities upon the exercise of warrants; or through a combination of any of these methods of sale. We reserve the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of securities, whether the purchase is to be made directly or through agents.

Each time that we use this prospectus to sell our securities, we will also provide a prospectus supplement that contains the specific terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the types and amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them; the public offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us; any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us; any agency fees or underwriting discounts or other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation; any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, agents or dealers; any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed; and any delayed delivery arrangements.

The offer and sale of the securities described in this prospectus by us, the underwriters, or the third parties described above may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions: at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; in “at the market offerings” 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; at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or at negotiated prices.

Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, each series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than our common shares, which are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We may elect to list any securities on an exchange, but we are not obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, any offered securities.

If underwriters are used in the sale of any securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters’ obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent 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. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities. Only underwriters that we have named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by that prospectus supplement.

If we use dealers in the sale of securities, we may sell securities to such dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the time of resale. If we use agents in the sale of securities, unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, they will use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment. We may solicit offers to purchase the securities directly, and we may sell the securities directly to institutional or other investors, who may be deemed underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resales of those securities. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, if we sell directly, no underwriters, dealers or agents will be involved. The terms of these sales will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will not make an offer of securities in any jurisdiction that does not permit such an offer. We may authorize underwriters, dealers, or agents to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase our securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions or discounts we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

Agents and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

In connection with any offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, over-allotment, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales and penalty bids. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of the offered securities or any underlying securities made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress. Short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on an exchange (if the securities are listed on an exchange) in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates in connection with those derivatives then the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of shares, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).

In connection with the distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus, we may enter into swap or other hedging transactions with, or arranged by, underwriters or agents or their affiliates. These underwriters or agents or their affiliates may receive compensation, trading gain or other benefits from these transactions.

Under the securities laws of some states, to the extent applicable, the securities may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless such securities have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

Articles of Association

Key Provisions of our Articles and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)

The following is a summary of certain key provisions of our articles and certain related sections of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”). This is only a summary and is not intended to be exhaustive. For further information please refer to the full version of our articles attached as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2023.

Stated Objects or Purposes

Our articles do not contain stated objects or purposes and do not place any limitations on the business that we may carry on.

Directors

Power to vote on matters in which a director is materially interested. Under the BCBCA a director who has a material interest in a contract or transaction, whether made or proposed, that is material to us, must disclose such interest to us, subject to certain exceptions such as if the contract or transaction: (i) is an arrangement by way of security granted by us for money loaned to, or obligations undertaken by, the director for our benefit or for one of our affiliates’ benefit; (ii) relates to an indemnity or insurance permitted under the BCBCA; (iii) relates to the remuneration of the director in his or her capacity as director, officer, employee or agent of our company or of one of our affiliates; (iv) relates to a loan to our company while the director is the guarantor of some or all of the loan; or (v) is with a corporation that is affiliated with us while the director is also a director or senior officer of that corporation or an affiliate of that corporation. Directors will also be required to comply with certain other relevant provisions of the BCBCA regarding conflicts of interest.

Under our articles, a director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company has entered or proposes to enter is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution to approve that contract or transaction, unless all the directors have a disclosable interest in that contract or transaction, in which case any or all of those directors may vote on such resolution.

Directors’ power to determine the remuneration of directors. The remuneration of our directors, if any, may be determined by our directors subject to our articles. If the directors so decide, the remuneration of the directors, if any, will be determined by the shareholders. That remuneration may be in addition to any salary or other remuneration paid to any officer or employee of the Company as such, who is also a director.

Number of shares required to be owned by a director. Neither our articles nor the BCBCA provide that a director is required to hold any of our shares as a qualification for holding his or her office. To align the economic interests of directors with those of our shareholders, non-executive directors receive $1,150 CAD per month for their services.

Certain Amendments and Change of Control

In addition to any other voting right or power to which the holders of voting shares shall be entitled by law or regulation or other provisions of our articles from time to time in effect, but subject to the provisions of our articles, holders of voting shares shall be entitled to vote separately as a class, in addition to any other vote of our shareholders that may be required, in respect of any alteration, repeal or amendment of our articles which would adversely affect the rights or special rights of the holders of common shares or affect the holders of common shares differently, on a per share basis.

Our articles do not contain any change of control limitations with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring that involves us.

Shareholder Meetings

Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, we must hold a general meeting of our shareholders at least once every calendar year at a time and place determined by our board of directors, provided that the meeting must not be held later than 15 months after the preceding annual general meeting.

The Company must send notice of the date, time and location of any meeting of shareholders (including, without limitation, any notice specifying the intention to propose a resolution as an exceptional resolution, a special resolution or a special separate resolution, and any notice to consider approving an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction, an arrangement or the adoption of an amalgamation agreement, and any notice of a general meeting, class meeting or series meeting), in the manner provided in our Articles, or in such other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by ordinary resolution (whether previous notice of the resolution has been given or not), to each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting, to each director and to the auditor of the Company, unless our Articles otherwise provide, at least the following number of days before the meeting: (1) if and for so long as the Company is a public company, 21 days; (2) otherwise, 10 days. Under the BCBCA, shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting may waive or reduce the period of notice for that meeting, provided applicable securities laws are met. The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting of shareholders to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any of the persons entitled to notice does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

Subject to the special rights and restrictions attached to the shares of any class or series of shares and to Article 11.4 of our Articles, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. If there is only one shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders: (1) the quorum is one person who is, or who represents by proxy, that shareholder, and (2) that shareholder, present in person or by proxy, may constitute the meeting.

Shareholder Proposals

Under the BCBCA, qualified shareholders holding shares that constitute (i) at least one percent (1%) of our issued voting shares or (ii) have a fair market value in excess of CAD$2,000 may make proposals for matters to be considered at the annual general meeting of shareholders. Such proposals must be sent to us in advance of any proposed meeting by delivering a timely written notice in proper form to our registered office in accordance with the requirements of the BCBCA. The notice must include information on the business the shareholder intends to bring before the meeting. To be a qualified shareholder, a shareholder must currently be and have been a registered or beneficial owner of at least one share of the company for at least two years before the date of signing the proposal.

Limitation on Rights to Own Securities

There are no limitations on rights to own or exercise voting rights on our securities by the BCBCA or our articles.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

Under the BCBCA, a company may indemnify: (i) a current or former director or officer of that company; (ii) a current or former director or officer of another corporation if, at the time such individual held such office, the corporation was an affiliate of the company, or if such individual held such office at the company’s request; or (iii) an individual who, at the request of the company, held, or holds, an equivalent position in another entity (an “indemnifiable person”) against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative or other legal proceeding or investigative action (whether current, threatened, pending or completed) in which he or she is involved because of that person’s position as an indemnifiable person, unless: (i) the individual did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of such company or the other entity, as the case may be; or (ii) in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, the individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful. A company cannot indemnify an indemnifiable person if it is prohibited from doing so under its articles or by applicable law. A company may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an indemnifiable person in respect of that proceeding only if the indemnifiable person has provided an undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses was prohibited, the indemnifiable person will repay any amounts advanced. Subject to the aforementioned prohibitions on indemnification, a company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an indemnifiable person in respect of such eligible proceeding if such indemnifiable person has not been reimbursed for such expenses, and was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of such eligible proceeding or was substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of such eligible proceeding. On application from an indemnifiable person or the company, a court may make any order the court considers appropriate in respect of an eligible proceeding, including the indemnification of penalties imposed or expenses incurred in any such proceedings and the enforcement of an indemnification agreement. As permitted by the BCBCA, our articles require us to indemnify our directors, former directors or alternate directors (and such individual’s respective heirs and legal representatives) and permit us to indemnify any person to the extent permitted by the BCBCA.
