EQUITY | NOTE 10 – EQUITY: A. Share capital Following the approval of a special general meeting of the Company’s shareholders convened on November 13, 2023, the Company increased its authorized share capital of Ordinary Shares of NIS 0.02 par value by 100,000,000 Ordinary Shares and cancelled the nominal par value of the shares’; The meeting further approved a reverse split of the authorized and outstanding shares, at a ratio of 10:1 (“the reverse stock split”) which came into effect on December 4, 2023. Consequently, the Company’s share capital, as of December 31, 2023, consists of 15,000,000 authorized Ordinary Shares, and 2,151,745 outstanding Ordinary Shares with no par value. Share data in these financial statements, have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the reverse stock split, and the consequent changes made to warrants and options issued by the Company. 1) On February 8, 2021, the Company completed a public offering in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, pursuant to a Shelf Offering Report. As part of the offering, 31,422 Ordinary Shares of the Company were issued to the public. The total gross consideration that the Company received amounted to approximately $3.0 million, before issuance costs. Issuance costs amounted to $44 thousand. 2) On February 18, 2021, the Company completed a capital raising in an amount of approximately $5.6 million by means of a private placement, in which 60,050 Ordinary Shares were issued. Issuance costs amounted to $95 thousand. 3) On October 31, 2021, and as part of the Company’s preparation for listing on Nasdaq, the Company entered into an investment agreement with four accredited investors that includes a private placement of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and prefunded warrants for a capital investment of $15 million, made in two stages. Pursuant to the agreement, upon closing of the first stage on December 30, 2021 the Company received an aggregate amount of $7.5 million against the issuance of 167,031 Ordinary Shares. On May 24, 2022, following the completion of listing on Nasdaq and the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of the Ordinary Shares and the Ordinary Shares underlying the prefunded warrants under the investment agreement, an additional investment of $7.5 million, was made against the issuance of additional 151,765 Ordinary Shares and 15,266 prefunded warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, at an exercise price of NIS 6.0 per ordinary share exercisable immediately upon issuance for a period of five years from issuance. The prefunded warrants were exercised on July 7, 2023. In connection with the above investment agreement and its facilitation of it, the Company paid transaction fees to a third party consisting of cash consideration of $275 thousand and non-marketable options, exercisable into 5,360 Ordinary Shares of the Company, for an exercise price of NIS 141.8 per one Ordinary Share. The above fees were paid proportionately upon the closing of each stage of the investment agreement. Consequently, issuance costs of $592 thousand, including the value attributed to the options granted of $275 thousand were charged to share premium derived from the issuance of Ordinary Shares. The value attributed to the above options was calculated according to the Black-Scholes pricing model. 4) On February 16, 2023, the Company completed a private placement by certain investors, some of whom are existing shareholders of the Company (the “Investors”), and the controlling shareholder of the Company, in an aggregate amount of NIS 12,463 thousand ($3.59 million). Under the investor agreements the Company issued 233,826 units, each consisting of one Ordinary Share and one non-registrable and non-tradeable warrant at a price of NIS 53.3 ($15.5) per each issued Unit. Each warrant is exercisable into one Ordinary Share subject to payment of exercise price of NIS 61.3 ($17.8) per warrant for a term of five (5) years from the issuance date of the offered warrants. Issuance costs (of approximately $ 29 thousand) and the placement proceeds were allocated on a relative fair value basis ($ 2.24 million to share capital and premium and $1.35 million to the warrants); the warrants fair value was determined on the basis of the Black - Scholes pricing model. The above private placement includes 64,503 units (representing a total investment of $1 million in cash), offered to Mr. Avraham Brenmiller - the Company’s controlling shareholder and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board - with the same terms and conditions, as offered to the other investors. The Investors and the controlling shareholder received piggyback registration rights for their Ordinary Shares and associated warrant. On June 29, 2023, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-3 to affect the registration of the Ordinary Shares and warrants, as above. The Investors are subject to certain restrictions regarding resale of the Units, the Offered Shares and the shares underlying the Offered Warrants for Investors pursuant to Israeli and U.S. laws. 5) On June 9, 2023, the Company, entered into a Sales Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“the Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, to or through the Sales Agent as agent or principal, Ordinary Shares. The Ordinary Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s currently effective registration statement on Form F-3, the prospectus contained therein and the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC dated June 9, 2023, under which the Company may offer and sell its Ordinary Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $ During the second half of 2023, under the agreement with a A.G.P., the Company issued 35,812 ordinary shares for a total consideration of $220 thousand, net of agent commissions of $12 thousand and other issuance costs of $115 thousand. 6) On June 15, 2023, the Company completed a private placement offering of its securities for the aggregate gross proceeds of $2.5 million (NIS 8.97 million) with one of the Company’s shareholders, a Switzerland-based company. The placement included 248,778 units (the “June Units”), each June Unit consisting of one ordinary share of the Company, and one non-tradeable warrant to purchase one ordinary share, at a price per Unit of $10. The warrants are exercisable at a price of NIS 44 (approximately $ 12.0) per share, reflecting a 33% premium over the market price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC at the close on June 12, 2023. The warrants are exercisable from June 12, 2024 and until June 12, 2028. Issuance costs (of approximately $20 thousand) and the placement proceeds were allocated on a relative fair value basis ($1.57 million to share capital and premium and $0.93 million to the warrants); the fair value of the warrants was determined on the basis of the Black-Scholes pricing model. B. Warrants: 1) Quoted Warrants (Series 2 and 3) These warrants were issued on November 16, 2020, in a public offering in TASE under a Shelf Offering Report, and were classified as equity. Under an arrangement offered by the Company to the holders of its Series 2 and 3 warrants, approved by the district court in Lod on October 26, 2021, and after the approval of a special general meeting of the abovesaid warrant holders, the period for exercise of the above warrants was extended by one year (through November 15, 2022 for Series 2 and November 15, 2024 for Series 3). All other terms of the warrants remained unchanged. Series 2 warrants expired in 2022 with no exercise. During 2023 and as part of the delisting process of the Company’s Ordinary Shares from TASE, the Company made an arrangement with the holders of Series 3 warrants, approved by the district court, to shorten the period for their exercise and decrease the exercise price. As a result, 94% of the holders of Series 3 exercised their warrants, for which the Company issued 18,811 Ordinary Shares and received a consideration of NIS 241 thousand ($72 thousand); the remaining warrants (Series 3) expired on September 5, 2023. Consequently, and due to having accumulated losses, the Company recognized the incremental value of NIS 341 thousand ($92 thousand) for the change in terms of the options against additional paid in capital (see also Note 12I). 2) Non- marketable warrants As of December 31, 2023, the Company has 499,998 non-marketable warrants that can be exercised into 25,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company.
