ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus form part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process. This document comprises two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering and adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. The second part, the accompanying base prospectus, gives more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus supplement, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. If the description of the offering varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus or the documents incorporated herein by reference filed prior to the date of this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information contained in this prospectus supplement. However, 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 base prospectus — the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.
You should rely only on the information provided or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, all information incorporated by reference herein and therein, as well as the additional information described under “Incorporation of Information by Reference” on page S-22 of this prospectus supplement. We have not, and Wainwright has not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, the securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus in any jurisdiction where it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus, or any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus, is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front cover of the applicable document. Neither the delivery of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, nor any distribution of securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus or in our affairs since the date of this prospectus supplement. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.
Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, together with the additional information described under the headings, “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Information by Reference,” on page S-22 of this prospectus supplement.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information about us, this offering and information contained in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus, any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the ADSs. You should carefully read and consider this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents, including financial statements and related notes, and information incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, including the financial statements and “Risk Factors” starting on page S-8 of this prospectus supplement, before making an investment decision. If you invest in our securities, you are assuming a high degree of risk.
We are a specialty biopharmaceutical company, primarily focused on GI and infectious diseases. Our primary goal is to become a leading specialty biopharmaceutical company.
We are currently focused primarily on the advancement of our development pipeline of clinical-stage therapeutic candidates. We also commercialize in the U.S. our GI-related product, Talicia® (omeprazole, amoxicillin, and rifabutin), and continue to explore our strategic plans for other potential products and activities.
Among our therapeutic candidates, we are exploring opaganib as a potential treatment for various conditions, including gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GI-ARS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (including COVID-19 and influenza) and other viruses as part of pandemic preparedness, such as the Ebola virus. Several cancers including mCRPC, inflammatory conditions and diabetes and obesity-related disorders are additional areas of focus for opaganib. Furthermore, we are investigating RHB-107 (upamostat) as a potential treatment for COVID-19 and other viruses as part of pandemic preparedness, including the Ebola virus.
Our current pipeline consists of five therapeutic candidates, most of which are in clinical development. We generate our pipeline of therapeutic candidates by identifying, validating and in-licensing or acquiring products that are consistent with our product and corporate strategy and that have the potential to exhibit a favorable probability of therapeutic and commercial success. We have one product that we primarily developed internally which has been approved for marketing and, to date, none of our other therapeutic candidates has generated revenues. We have out-licensed our commercial product, Talicia® to a third party in the United Arab Emirates and we plan to commercialize our therapeutic candidates, upon approval, if any, through licensing and other commercialization arrangements with pharmaceutical companies on a global and territorial basis or independently with a dedicated commercial operation or in potential partnership with other commercial-stage companies. We also evaluate, on a case-by-case basis, co-development, co-promotion, licensing, acquisitions and similar arrangements.
Global Termination Agreement
On July 15, 2024, we signed a Global Termination Agreement with Movantik Acquisition Co., Valinor Pharma, LLC, and HCR Redhill SPV, LLC. This agreement terminates all existing credit ties, removing the existing lien against Talicia® and restoring control over the restricted escrow funds. We received approximately $9.9 million in cash and gained full control over $0.7 million previously held in the restricted account. Under the Global Termination Agreement, we assumed certain liabilities related to Movantik® from the other parties and settled additional liabilities between the parties. This resulted in an increase of approximately $12.2 million in our future obligations, reflecting these assumed and settled amounts.
Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement
On March 11, 2024, we received a letter from the Listings Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Listing Qualifications Department”) indicating that for the thirty consecutive business days prior to March 11, 2024, the bid price for the ADSs had closed below the minimum $1.00 per ADS requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 9, 2024, to regain compliance. On August 20, 2024, we implemented a ratio change of the ADSs to the Company’s non-traded ordinary shares from the previous ratio of one (1) ADS representing four hundred (400) ordinary shares to a new ratio of one (1) ADS representing ten thousand (10,000) ordinary shares. For ADS holders, the ratio change had the same effect as a one-for-25 reverse ADS split. On September 5, 2024, we announced that we had received confirmation from the Listings Qualifications Department that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and is now compliant with applicable listing standards for continued Nasdaq listing.
Unless otherwise stated herein, all information throughout this prospectus supplement gives effect to the above-mentioned ratio change.
Kukbo Proceedings
We continue our litigation against Kukbo Co. Ltd. (“Kukbo”), which we filed on September 2, 2022, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Commercial Division (the “Court”), as a result of Kukbo’s default in delivering us an aggregate of $6.5 million under the subscription agreement, dated October 25, 2021, in exchange for the ADSs that we were to issue to Kukbo, and the exclusive license agreement with Kukbo, dated March 14, 2022. Kukbo thereafter filed counterclaims with various allegations, such as breach of contract, misrepresentation and the breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. On November 20, 2023, we entered into a Contingency Fee Agreement with our legal firm, Haynes and Boone, LLP (“H&B”), under which certain legal costs related to the Kukbo litigation will be assumed by H&B.
On December 2, 2024, we were awarded a judgment of approximately $8 million, including $6.5 million in principal and approximately $1.5 million in accrued interest, plus costs, in a summary judgement by the Court. The Court dismissed the entirety of Kukbo’s counterclaims in the case. Kukbo retains the right to seek an appeal. We intend to vigorously pursue the recovery of attorneys’ fees and the collection of the judgment.
RHB-107 (upamostat) in COVID-19
On January 30, 2025, we received an update from the Austere environments Consortium for Enhanced Sepsis Outcomes’ (ACESO) that funding from the U.S. Government Department of Defense's Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) for the ongoing 300-patient Phase 2 RHB-107 arm of the ACESO PROTECT platform trial for early COVID-19 outpatient treatment is subject to termination, requiring the study to cease enrollment on March 5, 2025, prior to completion. Enrollment in this study began in April 2024, and it is estimated that approximately 100 patients have been enrolled out of a fully enrolled target patient population of 300. Due to the reduced number of patients enrolled in this study, the study result may not lead to conclusions regarding the efficacy of RHB-107 in this trial.
Preliminary Estimated Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2024
While complete financial information and operating data as of and for such period are not yet available, based on the information and data currently available, our preliminary estimated net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were in the range of $7.0 million to $9.0 million, compared to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are estimated to be approximately $4.8 million.
The preliminary estimates above represent the most current information available to our management and do not present all necessary information for an understanding of our financial condition as of and the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. We are currently preparing our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024. There is no assurance that our net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 or our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2024 to be reported in our financial statements, when finalized and audited, will not differ from the preliminary estimates provided. Any such differences could be material, and accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on these estimates. Additional information and disclosures would be required for a more complete understanding of our financial position and results of operations as of December 31, 2024. Our financial statements and operating data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, will not be available until after this offering is completed.
The preliminary financial data included in this document has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, our management. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, has not audited, reviewed, compiled or applied agreed upon procedures with respect to the preliminary financial data. Accordingly, Kesselman & Kesselman does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. These are preliminary estimates which should not be regarded as a representation by us, our management as to our actual results for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(1) The number of Ordinary Shares to be outstanding immediately after this offering, as shown above, is based on 12,986,621,000 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of January 29, 2025. As of January 29, 2025, we had outstanding (i) 26,190,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase Ordinary Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.63 per share (equivalent to 2,619 ADSs at a weighted average exercise price of $6,329.96 per ADS), (ii) 5,606,620,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.003 per share (equivalent to 560,662 ADSs at a weighted average exercise price of $29.60 per ADS), and (iii) 36,564 outstanding Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”), each RSU representing one ADS.
Unless otherwise stated, outstanding share information throughout this prospectus supplement excludes such outstanding securities described above and assumes no exercise of the outstanding options or warrants or vesting or settlement of the outstanding RSUs, as applicable, described above.
You should carefully consider the risks described below and the risk factors in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes, before you decide to buy our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement are not the only risks facing us. We may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial. Any of the risks described below or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and any such additional risks, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, you may lose all or part of your original investment.
Risks Related to Our Industry
The research and development of certain of our product candidates, including RHB-107, have been supported by government-funded programs. The government is under no obligation to continue to support research and development of our products and can cease such support at any time which could be irreplaceable to the research and development process of our products.
The research and development of RHB-107 has relied on support by the U.S. Department of Defense and other government bodies. These government bodies can withdraw, reduce or end their support of our products at any time, and this would significantly impair our ability to research and develop them further. In addition, the government is under no obligation to continue to support research and development of our products and can cease such support at any time which could be irreplaceable to the research and development process of our products as well as any current or future preclinical or clinical studies. For example, on January 30, 2025, we were notified that funding from the U.S. Government Department of Defense's Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) for the ongoing 300-patient Phase 2 RHB-107 arm of the ACESO PROTECT platform trial for early COVID-19 outpatient treatment is subject to termination, requiring the study to cease enrollment on March 5, 2025, prior to completion. It is estimated that approximately 100 patients have been enrolled out of a fully enrolled target patient population of 300. Due to the reduced number of patients enrolled in this study, the study result may not lead to conclusions regarding the efficacy of RHB-107 in this trial.
Moreover, with the change in presidential administration that recently occurred in the United States, government spending programs have become even more difficult to predict and may be subject to greater risk. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding how future budget and program decisions will unfold, including the spending priorities of the new U.S. presidential administration and Congress and what challenges budget reductions may present for our industry generally or for our company. In particular, U.S. President Trump recently attempted to place a widespread freeze on most federal grants and loans. Any freeze on government support for our products, programs or studies could significantly impair our research and development activities, business and operations.
Risks Related to the ADSs
Our failure to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of the ADSs.
The ADSs are currently listed for trading on Nasdaq. We must satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per ADS or risk delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
On March 11, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department indicating that for the thirty consecutive business days prior to March 11, 2024, the bid price for the ADSs had closed below the minimum $1.00 per ADS requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 9, 2024, to regain compliance. The letter stated that the Listing Qualifications Department staff will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with Rule 5450(a)(1) if at any time before September 9, 2024, the bid price of the ADSs closed at $1.00 per ADS or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
On August 20, 2024, we implemented a ratio change of the ADSs to the Company’s non-traded ordinary shares from the previous ratio of one (1) ADS representing four hundred (400) ordinary shares to a new ratio of one (1) ADS representing ten thousand (10,000) ordinary shares. For ADS holders, the ratio change had the same effect as a one-for-25 reverse ADS split. This was in addition to a ratio change of the ADSs to our non-traded Ordinary Shares that we completed in March 2023 from the previous ratio of one ADS representing ten Ordinary Shares to a new ratio of one ADS representing 400 Ordinary Shares in order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, after completing. On September 5, 2024, we announced that we had received confirmation from the Listings Qualifications Department that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and is now compliant with applicable listing standards for continued Nasdaq listing.
Additionally, in the recent past, we did not meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”), and only regained compliance with such requirement by transferring the listing of the ADSs to the Nasdaq Capital Market from the Nasdaq Global Market in November 2023. No assurance can be given that the price of the ADSs will not again be in violation of Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement or the MVPHS requirement in the future. Our failure to meet these requirements may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq. A delisting could substantially decrease trading in the ADSs, adversely affect the market liquidity of the ADSs as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. Additionally, the market price of the ADSs may decline further and shareholders may lose some or all of their investment.
U.S. holders of ADSs may suffer adverse tax consequences if we were characterized as a passive foreign investment company.
Based on the current composition of our gross income and assets and on reasonable assumptions and projections no assurance can be given that we will not be treated as a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes for 2024. If we were characterized as a PFIC, U.S. holders of the ADSs may suffer adverse tax consequences such as (i) having gains realized on the sale of the ADSs treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain, not qualifying for the preferential rate otherwise applicable to dividends received in respect of the ADSs by individuals who are U.S. holders, and (ii) having interest charges apply to certain distributions by us and upon certain sales of the ADSs.
Risks Related to the Offering
We will have broad discretion in how to use the net proceeds of this offering, and we may not use these proceeds in a manner desired by our investors.
We will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. Our needs may change as the business and the industry that we address evolves. As a result, the proceeds to be received in this offering may be used in a manner significantly different from our current expectations. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
It is not possible to predict the number of ADSs that will be sold under the Sales Agreement.
Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to Wainwright at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of ADSs that are sold through Wainwright after our delivery of a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of the ADSs during the sales period, any limits we may set with Wainwright in any applicable placement notice and the demand for the ADSs. Accordingly, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of ADSs that will ultimately be sold.
The ADSs offered hereby will be sold in “at-the-market offerings” and investors who buy ADSs at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase ADSs in this offering at different times likely will pay different prices, and accordingly may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand and the terms of the Sales Agreement, to vary the timing, prices and number of ADSs sold in this offering. In addition, subject to the final determination by our board of directors or any restrictions we may place in any applicable placement notice, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for ADSs to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the ADSs they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value per ADS you purchase.
The offering price per ADS in this offering may exceed our net tangible book value per ADS outstanding prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 571,617 ADSs are sold during the term of the Sales Agreement with Wainwright, at a price of $6.06 per ADS (the last reported sale price of the ADSs on Nasdaq on January 29, 2025), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3,464,000, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, purchasers in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $8.52 per ADS, representing the difference between the assumed offering price per ADS and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ADS as of June 30, 2024, after giving effect to this offering. If holders of outstanding options or warrants exercise those options or warrants at prices below the price you pay, you will experience further dilution. See the section titled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering. Because the sales of the ADSs offered hereby will be made directly into the market, the prices at which we sell these ADSs will vary, and these variations may be significant. Purchasers of the ADSs we sell, as well as our existing shareholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell ADSs at prices significantly below the price at which they invested.
ADSs representing a substantial percentage of our outstanding Ordinary Shares may be sold in this offering and such ADSs will be freely tradable, which could cause the price of the ADSs to decline.
A substantial number of the ADSs may be sold in the public market in this offering, and all of the ADSs sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. These sales, and any future sales of a substantial number of ADSs in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, may cause the market price of the ADSs to decline. This could make it more difficult for you to sell your ADSs at a time and price that you deem appropriate and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for the ADSs or our Ordinary Shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per ADS in this offering. We may sell ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per ADS paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to the rights of ADS holders. The price per share at which we sell additional ADSs, Ordinary Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into ADSs or Ordinary Shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per ADS paid by investors in this offering.
We may issue and sell ADSs having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $3,464,000 from time to time under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition of this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any ADSs under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement with Wainwright as a source of financing.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund our commercialization activities, research and development, working capital, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. We currently have no binding agreements or commitments to complete any transaction for possible acquisitions, though we are currently, and likely to continue, exploring possible acquisition candidates. There is no certainty that we will be able to complete any such transactions.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received from this offering, if any. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors including our operating costs and the amount of funding, if any, received from this offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on the judgment of management regarding the application of the net proceeds from this offering.
The table below sets forth our total capitalization as of June 30, 2024:
| • | on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Global Termination Agreement, which increased our total debt by approximately $12.2 million and our cash by approximately $9.9 million, resulting in a loss of approximately $2.3 million (the “Pro Forma Adjustment”); and |
| • | on a pro forma as adjusted basis to further reflect the assumed sale of 571,617 ADSs at an assumed offering price of $6.06 per ADS (the last reported sale price of the ADSs on Nasdaq on January 29, 2025), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3,464,000, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. |
The actual, pro forma and pro forma as adjusted data included in the table below is unaudited. The financial data in the following table should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and the other financial information incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus.

| (1) | Includes $21.2 million reported as current liabilities, which mainly consist of allowance for deductions from revenue, accrued expenses, accounts payable and derivative financial instruments, and $0.7 million reported as non-current liabilities, which consist of lease liabilities and royalty obligations. The warrants granted in (i) the underwritten offering consummated in December 2022, (ii) the registered direct offering consummated in January 2024, and (iii) the registered direct offering consummated in April 2024 were classified as a financial liability due to a net settlement provision. Therefore, some of the proceeds of the issuances were classified as derivative financial instruments and increased the total debt accordingly. |
The above table is based on 12,805,391,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, prior to giving effect to this offering, we had outstanding (i) 29,480,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase Ordinary Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.64 per share (equivalent to 2,948 ADSs at a weighted average exercise price of $6,384.40 per ADS), (ii) 5,606,620,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.003 per share (equivalent to 560,662 ADSs at a weighted average exercise price of $29.60 per ADS), and (iii) 56,417 outstanding RSUs, each RSU representing one ADS.
Unless otherwise stated, outstanding share information throughout this prospectus supplement excludes such outstanding securities and assumes no exercise of the outstanding options or warrants or vesting or settlement of the outstanding RSUs, as applicable, described above.
If you invest in the ADSs, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the price per ADS you pay in this offering and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ADS after giving effect to this offering.
Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024, was approximately $(5.4) million, or approximately $(4.23) per ADS. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total tangible assets minus total liabilities, net of leases presented as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024, after giving effect to the Pro Forma Adjustment, would have been approximately $(7.8) million, or approximately $(6.07) per ADS.
After giving further effect to the assumed sale of 571,617 ADSs at an assumed offering price of $6.06 per ADS (the last reported sale price of the ADSs on Nasdaq on January 29, 2025), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3,464,000, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024, would have been approximately $(4.6) million, or approximately $(2.46) per ADS. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $3.61 per ADS to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of approximately $8.52 per ADS to new investors in this offering, as illustrated by the following table:
| | | | | | |
Assumed offering price per ADS | | | | | $ | 6.06 | |

Dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ADS to investors purchasing ADSs in this offering | | | | | | $ | 8.52 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The above table is based on 12,805,391,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, prior to giving effect to this offering, we had outstanding (i) 29,480,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase Ordinary Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.64 per share (equivalent to 2,948 ADSs at a weighted average exercise price of $6,384.40 per ADS), (ii) 5,606,620,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.003 per share (equivalent to 560,662 ADSs at a weighted average exercise price of $29.60 per ADS), and (iii) 56,417 outstanding RSUs, each RSU representing one ADS.
Unless otherwise stated, outstanding share information throughout this prospectus supplement excludes such outstanding securities and assumes no exercise of the outstanding options or warrants or vesting or settlement of the outstanding RSUs, as applicable, described above.
The pro forma and pro forma as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only. Our net tangible book value following the completion of this offering is subject to further adjustment based on the actual offering price of the ADSs and the number of ADSs sold.
To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, you may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity, your ownership will be further diluted.
MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Israeli Tax Considerations
General
The following is a brief summary of the material tax consequences under Israeli law concerning the purchase, ownership and disposition of American Depositary Shares representing Ordinary Shares (collectively, the “Shares”).
This discussion does not purport to constitute a complete analysis of all potential tax consequences applicable to investors upon purchasing, owning or disposing of our Shares. In particular, this discussion does not take into account the specific circumstances of any particular investor (such as tax-exempt entities, financial institutions, certain financial companies, broker-dealers, investors that own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of our outstanding voting rights, all of whom are subject to special tax regimes not covered under this discussion). To the extent that issues discussed herein are based on legislation that has yet to be subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, there can be no assurance that the views expressed herein will accord with any such interpretation in the future. This discussion is subject to change, including due to amendments under Israeli law or changes to the applicable judicial or administrative interpretations of Israeli law, which change could affect the tax consequences described below, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussion below is not intended, and should not be construed, as legal or professional tax advice and does not cover all possible tax considerations.
Potential investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the Israeli or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the Shares, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local taxes.
General Corporate Tax Structure in Israel
Israeli resident companies are generally subject to corporate tax on their taxable income at the rate of 23% for the 2025 tax year. A corporation will generally be considered as an “Israeli resident company” if it meets one of the following: (i) it was incorporated in Israel; or (ii) the control and management of its business are exercised in Israel.
Taxation of Shareholders
Capital Gains
Capital gain tax is imposed on the disposition of capital assets by an Israeli tax resident and on the disposition of such assets by a non-Israeli resident if those assets are either (i) located in Israel; (ii) are shares or a right to a share in an Israeli resident corporation, or (iii) represent, directly or indirectly, rights to assets located in Israel, unless an exemption is available or unless an applicable double tax treaty between Israel and the seller’s country of residence provides otherwise. The Israeli Income Tax Ordinance distinguishes between “Real Gain” and the “Inflationary Surplus”. “Real Gain” is the excess of the total capital gain over Inflationary Surplus generally computed on the basis of the increase in the Israeli Consumer Price Index between the date of purchase and the date of disposition. Inflationary Surplus is not currently subject to tax.
In 2025, the Real Gain accrued by individuals on the sale of the Shares will be taxed at the rate of 25%. However, if the individual shareholder is a “Substantial Shareholder” (i.e., a person who holds, directly or indirectly, alone or together with another, 10% or more of one of the Israeli resident company’s Means Of Control) at the time of sale or at any time during the preceding 12 month period, such gain will be taxed at the rate of 30%.“Means Of Control” generally include the right to vote, receive profits, nominate a director or other general manager or like the same, receive assets upon liquidation, or order someone who holds any of the aforesaid rights how to act, regardless of the source of such right.
Corporate and individual shareholders dealing in securities in Israel are taxed at the tax rates applicable to business income (23% for corporations in 2025), and a marginal tax rate of up to 50% in 2025 for individuals, including an excess tax (as discussed below).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, capital gains generated from the sale of our Shares by a non-Israeli resident shareholder may be exempt from Israeli capital tax under the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance provided (among other conditions) that the seller does not have a permanent establishment in Israel to which the generated capital gain is attributed. However, non-Israeli resident corporations will not be entitled to the foregoing exemption if Israeli residents: (i) have a 25% or more interest in such non-Israeli corporation or (ii) are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly. In addition, such exemption would not be available to a person whose gains from selling or otherwise disposing of the securities are deemed to be business income.
In addition, the sale of the Shares may be exempt from Israeli capital gain tax under the provisions of an applicable double tax treaty. For example, the Convention Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the State of Israel with Respect to Taxes on Income, or the U.S.-Israel Double Tax Treaty, exempts a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Double Tax Treaty) from Israeli capital gain tax in connection with the sale, exchange or other disposition of the Shares, provided (among other conditions) that: (i) the U.S. resident owned, directly or indirectly, less than 10% of the voting power of the company at any time within the 12-month period preceding such sale; (ii) the U.S. resident, being an individual, is present in Israel for a period or periods of less than 183 days during the taxable year; and (iii) the capital gain from the sale was not derived through a permanent establishment of the U.S. resident in Israel; however, under the U.S.-Israel Double Tax Treaty, the taxpayer may be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations under U.S. law applicable to foreign tax credits. The U.S.-Israel Double Tax Treaty does not relate to U.S. state or local taxes.
In some instances where our shareholders may be liable for Israeli tax on the sale of their ordinary shares, the payment of the consideration may be subject to withholding of Israeli tax at source. Shareholders may be required to demonstrate that they are exempt from tax on their capital gain in order to avoid withholding at source at the time of sale. Specifically, the Israel Tax Authority (“ITA”) may require shareholders who are not liable for Israeli capital gains tax on such a sale to sign declarations in forms prescribed by the ITA, provide documents (including, for example, a certificate of residency) or obtain a specific exemption from the ITA to confirm their status as non-Israeli residents (and, in the absence of such declarations or exemptions, the ITA may require the purchaser or any applicable payor of the shares to withhold tax at source).
Payers of consideration for the Ordinary Shares, including the purchaser, the Israeli stockbroker or the financial institution through which the Shares are held, are generally obligated, subject to certain exemptions, to withhold tax upon the sale of Shares at a rate of 25% of the consideration for individuals and corporations.
Upon the sale of traded securities, a detailed return, including a computation of the tax due, must be filed and an advance payment must be paid to the Israeli Tax Authority on January 31 and July 31 of every tax year in respect of sales of traded securities made within the previous six months. However, if all tax due was withheld at source according to applicable provisions of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance and regulations promulgated thereunder, such return need not be filed, and no advance payment must be paid. Capital gains are also reportable on annual income tax returns.
Dividends
Dividends distributed by a company to a shareholder who is an Israeli resident individual will generally be subject to income tax at a rate of 25%. However, a 30% tax rate will apply if the dividend recipient is a Substantial Shareholder, as defined above, at the time of distribution or at any time during the preceding 12 month period. If the recipient of the dividend is an Israeli resident corporation, such dividend will generally be exempt from Israeli income tax provided that the income from which such dividend is distributed, derived or accrued within Israel.
Dividends distributed by an Israeli resident company to a non-Israeli resident (either an individual or a corporation) are generally subject to Israeli withholding tax on the receipt of such dividends at the rate of 25% (30% if the dividend recipient is a Substantial Shareholder at the time of distribution or at any time during the preceding 12 month period). These rates may be reduced under the provisions of an applicable double tax treaty. For example, under the U.S.-Israel Double Tax Treaty, the following withholding tax rates will apply in respect of dividends distributed by an Israeli resident company to a U.S. resident: (i) if the U.S. resident is a corporation that holds during that portion of the taxable year which precedes the date of payment of the dividend and during the whole of its prior taxable year (if any), at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the voting share capital of the Israeli resident paying corporation and not more than 25% of the gross income of the Israeli resident paying corporation for such prior taxable year (if any) consists of certain types of interest or dividends the tax rate is 12.5%; (ii) if both the conditions mentioned in clause (i) above are met and the dividend is paid from an Israeli resident company’s income which was entitled to a reduced tax rate under The Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, the tax rate is 15%; and (iii) in all other cases, the tax rate is 25%. The aforementioned rates under the U.S.-Israel Double Tax Treaty will not apply if the dividend income is attributed to a permanent establishment of the U.S. resident in Israel.
To the extent any payment of dividends by the Company is subject to Israeli withholding taxes, the Company (or its withholding agent) shall make the required withholding and remit such taxes to the ITA.
Excess Tax
Individual holders who are subject to tax in Israel (whether any such individual is an Israeli resident or non-Israeli resident) are also subject to an additional tax at a rate of 3% on annual income including, but not limited to, income derived from dividends, interest and capital gains, exceeding a certain threshold (currently NIS 721,560 for years 2024 through 2027, which amount will be updated annually starting January 1, 2028, based on the change in the Israeli consumer price index) (the “Threshold Amount”). An additional 2% tax applies to "capital income" earned as of January 1, 2025 (including capital gains, dividends, and interest) exceeding the Threshold Amount.
Estate and Gift Tax
Israel does not currently impose estate or gift taxes if the Israeli Tax Authority is satisfied that the gift was made in good faith and on condition that the recipient of the gift is not a non-Israeli resident.
Foreign Exchange Regulations
Non-residents of Israel who hold our Shares are able to receive any dividends, and any amounts payable upon the dissolution, liquidation and winding up of our affairs, repayable in non-Israeli currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of conversion. However, Israeli income tax is generally required to have been paid or withheld on these amounts. In addition, the statutory framework for the potential imposition of currency exchange control has not been eliminated and may be restored at any time by administrative action.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the ADSs by U.S. Holders, as defined below. This summary addresses solely U.S. Holders who acquire ADSs and who hold ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. This summary is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), current and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial decisions as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. In addition, this section is based in part upon the assumption that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms. This summary does not address all U.S. federal income tax matters that may be relevant to a particular holder or all tax considerations that may be relevant with respect to an investment in the ADSs.
This summary does not address tax considerations applicable to a holder of the ADSs that may be subject to special tax rules including, without limitation, the following:
| • | dealers or traders in securities, currencies, or notional principal contracts; |
| • | banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions; |
| • | real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies; |
| • | persons or corporations subject to an alternative minimum tax; |
| • | tax-exempt organizations; |
| • | traders that have elected mark-to-market accounting; |
| • | corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. tax; |
| • | investors that hold the ADSs as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” or “conversion transaction” with other investments; |
| • | persons that actually or constructively own 10 percent or more of our Ordinary Shares outstanding by vote or by value; |
| • | persons that are treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income purposes; and |
| • | U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. |
This summary does not address the effect of any U.S. federal taxation other than U.S. federal income taxation, and does not include any discussion of state, local, or foreign tax consequences to a holder of the ADSs. In addition, this summary does not include any discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any holder of ADSs that is not a U.S. Holder.
You are urged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the foreign and U.S. federal, state, and local income and other tax consequences of an investment in the ADSs, including the potential effects of any proposed legislation, if enacted.
For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of an Ordinary Share or ADS that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
| • | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.; |
| • | a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the U.S. or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; |
| • | an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or |
| • | a trust (1) if (a) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and (b) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. |
If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes holds Ordinary Shares or ADSs, the U.S. federal tax treatment of its partners will generally depend upon the status of the partners and the activities of the partnership. Entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal tax purposes and persons holding Ordinary Shares or ADSs through such entities should consult their own tax advisors.
In general, and assuming that all obligations under the Deposit Agreement will be satisfied in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement, if you hold ADSs, you will be treated as the holder of the underlying Ordinary Shares represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, gain or loss generally will not be recognized if you exchange ADSs for the underlying Ordinary Shares represented by those ADSs.
Distributions
If we make any distribution with respect to the Securities, subject to the discussion under “- Passive Foreign Investment Companies” below, the gross amount of any distribution actually or constructively received by a U.S. Holder (through the Depositary) with respect to a Security will generally be taxable to the U.S. Holder as foreign-source dividend income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. The amount distributed will include the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld from such distribution, as described above under the caption “Material Tax Considerations-Israeli Tax Considerations.” A U.S. Holder will not be eligible for any dividends received deduction in respect of the dividends paid by us, which deduction is otherwise available to a corporate U.S. Holder in respect of dividends received from a domestic corporation. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits will be non-taxable to the U.S. Holder to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Securities. Distributions in excess of such adjusted tax basis will generally be taxable to a U.S. Holder as capital gain from the sale or exchange of property as described below under “-Sale or Other Disposition of ADSs.” If we do not report to a U.S. Holder the portion of a distribution that exceeds earnings and profits, then the distribution will generally be taxable as a dividend. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of that property on the date of distribution.
Under the Code, certain qualified dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the preferential long-term capital gains of, currently, a maximum of 20%. This preferential income tax rate is applicable only to dividends paid by a “qualified foreign corporation” that is not a PFIC for the year in which the dividend is paid or for the preceding taxable year, and only with respect to the Securities held by a qualified U.S. Holder (i.e., a non-corporate holder) for a minimum holding period (generally 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date) and certain other holding period requirements are met. If such holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay with respect to the Securities generally will be qualified dividend income. However, if we were a PFIC, dividends paid by us to individual U.S. Holders would not be eligible for the reduced income tax rate applicable to qualified dividends. As discussed below under “- Passive Foreign Investment Companies,” no assurance can be given that we will not be treated as a PFIC for our current taxable or future taxable years. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the availability of this preferential tax rate under your particular circumstances.
The amount of any distribution paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars (a “foreign currency”), including the amount of any withholding tax thereon, will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder in an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of the U.S. Holder’s (or, in the case of ADSs, the Depositary’s) receipt of the dividend, actively or constructively, regardless of whether the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars. If the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize a foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend. If the foreign currency received in the distribution is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the foreign currency will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the preferential rate applicable to qualified dividend income.
Subject to certain conditions and limitations, any Israeli taxes withheld on dividends may be creditable against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, subject to generally applicable limitations. The rules relating to foreign tax credits and the timing thereof are complex. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the availability of a foreign tax credit in your particular situation.
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of ADSs
Subject to the discussion under “- Passive Foreign Investment Companies” below, a U.S. Holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its Securities will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the Securities. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period of the Securities exceeds one year at the time of the sale or other disposition. Long-term capital gains realized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to a preferential U.S. federal income tax rate. In general, gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of the Securities will be U.S. source gain or loss for purposes of the foreign tax credit limitation. However, if we are a PFIC, any such gain will be subject to the PFIC rules, as discussed below, rather than being taxed as a capital gain. As discussed below in “-Passive Foreign Investment Companies,” no assurance can be given that we will not be treated as a PFIC for our current taxable year and future taxable years.
If a U.S. Holder receives foreign currency upon a sale or exchange of the Securities, gain or loss will be recognized in the manner described above under “- Distributions.” However, if such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the date received by the U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize any foreign currency gain or loss on such conversion.
As discussed above under the heading “Material Tax Considerations-Israeli Tax Considerations-Taxation of Shareholders,” a U.S. Holder who holds Securities through an Israeli broker or other Israeli intermediary may be subject to Israeli withholding tax on any capital gains recognized on a sale or other disposition of the Securities. Any Israeli tax paid under circumstances in which an exemption from (or a refund of or a reduction in) such tax was available will not be creditable for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their Israeli broker or intermediary regarding the procedures for obtaining an exemption or reduction.
Medicare Tax on Unearned Income
Non-corporate U.S. Holders whose income exceeds certain thresholds are required to pay an additional 3.8% tax on their net investment income, which includes dividends paid on the Securities and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of the Securities.
Passive Foreign Investment Companies
The treatment of the Company as a PFIC is based on the value and composition of our assets, and no assurance can be given that we will not be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current taxable year or future taxable years. We will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year if:
| • | at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year is passive income; or |
| • | at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the fair market values of the assets determined at the end of each quarter during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. |
For purposes of the above calculations, if we own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, we will be treated as if we (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation directly. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties and certain capital gain, but generally excludes rents and royalties that are derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and which are received from a person other than a related person.
A separate determination must be made each taxable year as to whether we are a PFIC (after the close of each such taxable year). Because the value of our assets for purposes of the asset test will generally be determined by reference to the market price of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, which may fluctuate significantly.
If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds Ordinary Shares or ADSs, such Ordinary Shares or ADSs generally will continue to be treated as Ordinary Shares or ADSs in a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder holds the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, unless we cease to be a PFIC and such U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to the Ordinary Shares or ADSs such U.S. Holder holds. If such election is made, a U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold the Ordinary Shares or ADSs it holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the U.S. federal income tax treatment described below. After the deemed sale election, the Ordinary Shares or ADSs with respect to which the deemed sale election was made will not be treated as Ordinary Shares or ADSs in a PFIC unless we subsequently become a PFIC.
For each taxable year for which we are treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” it receives and any gain it realizes from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, unless it makes a “mark-to-market” election or a “qualified electing fund” election as discussed below. Distributions that a U.S. Holder receives in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions it received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or its holding period for the Ordinary Shares or ADSs will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules, if a U.S. Holder receives any excess distribution or realizes any gain from a sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs:
| • | the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares or ADSs; |
| • | the amount of excess distribution or gain allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year before the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, must be included in the U.S. Holder’s gross income (as ordinary income) for the current tax year; and |
| • | the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to the highest marginal tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to such amounts allocated to each other year. |
The tax liability for amounts allocated to years before the year of disposition or “excess distribution” cannot be offset by any losses for such years. Additionally, any gains realized on the sale of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs cannot be treated as capital gains.
If we are treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder for any taxable year, to the extent any of our subsidiaries are also PFICs, such U.S. Holder will be deemed to own its proportionate share of any such subsidiaries that are PFICs, and such U.S. Holder may be subject to the rules described in the preceding two paragraphs with respect to the shares of such subsidiaries that are PFICs it will be deemed to own. As a result, a U.S. Holder may incur liability for any “excess distribution” described above if we receive a distribution from such subsidiaries that are PFICs or if we dispose of, or are deemed to dispose of, any shares in such subsidiaries that are PFICs. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.
Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election for such stock to elect out of the general tax treatment for PFICs discussed above. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election for the ADSs, such U.S. Holder will include in income for each year we are a PFIC an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ADSs as of the close of such U.S. Holder’s taxable year over such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in such ADSs. A U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the ADSs over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. However, deductions are allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the ADSs included in a U.S. Holder’s income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in a U.S. Holder’s income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the ADSs, are treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the ADSs, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the ADSs to the extent the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for the ADSs. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. If a U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election, the tax rules that apply to distributions by corporations that are not PFICs will apply to distributions by us, except the lower applicable tax rate for qualified dividend income will not apply. If we cease to be a PFIC when a U.S. Holder has a mark-to-market election in effect, gain or loss realized by such U.S. Holder on the sale of the ADSs will be a capital gain or loss and taxed in the manner described above under “- Sale, Exchange, or Other Disposition of ADSs.”
The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is a stock that is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter, or regularly traded, on a qualified exchange or another market, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Any trades that have as their principal purpose meeting this requirement will be disregarded. The ADSs are listed on Nasdaq and, accordingly, provided the ADSs are regularly traded, the mark-to-market election will be available to a U.S. Holder of ADSs if we are a PFIC. Once made, the election cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS unless the ADSs cease to be marketable stock. If we are a PFIC for any year in which the U.S. Holder owns the ADSs but before a mark-to-market election is made, the interest charge rules described above will apply to any mark-to-market gain recognized in the year the election is made. If any of our subsidiaries are or become PFICs, the mark-to-market election will not be available with respect to the shares of such subsidiaries that are treated as owned by a U.S. Holder. Consequently, a U.S. Holder could be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to income of the lower-tier PFICs the value of which already had been taken into account indirectly via mark-to-market adjustments. You should consult your own tax advisors as to the availability and desirability of a mark-to-market election, as well as the impact of such election on interests in any lower-tier PFICs.
In certain circumstances, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC can make a “qualified electing fund” election to mitigate some of the adverse tax consequences of holding stock in a PFIC by including in income its share of the corporation’s income on a current basis. However, we do not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable a U.S. Holder to make a qualified electing fund election.
Unless otherwise provided by the U.S. Treasury, each U.S. shareholder of a PFIC is required to file an annual information return on IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualifying Electing Fund) containing such information as the U.S. Treasury may require. A U.S. Holder’s failure to file such annual information return could result in the imposition of penalties and the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to U.S. federal income tax. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, taking into account the uncertainty as to whether we are currently treated as or may become a PFIC.
YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE IMPACT AND APPLICATION OF THE PFIC RULES ON YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE ORDINARY SHARES OR ADSs.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Payments of dividends with respect to Ordinary Shares or ADSs and the proceeds from the sale, retirement, or other disposition of Ordinary Shares or ADSs made by a U.S. paying agent or other U.S. intermediary will generally be reported to the IRS and to the U.S. Holder as may be required under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We, or an agent, a broker, or any paying agent, as the case may be, may be required to withhold tax (backup withholding), currently at the rate of 24%, if a non-corporate U.S. Holder that is not otherwise exempt fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number and comply with other IRS requirements concerning information reporting. Certain U.S. Holders (including, among others, corporations and tax-exempt organizations) are not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount of backup withholding withheld may be used as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability or may be refunded provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.
You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the backup withholding tax and information reporting rules.
Foreign Asset Reporting
Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals are required to report information relating to an interest in the Securities, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained by financial institutions) by filing IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their federal income tax return. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their information reporting obligations, if any, with respect to their ownership and disposition of the Securities.
We have entered into a Sales Agreement with Wainwright under which, and pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, we may issue and sell up to $3,464,000 of the ADSs from time to time through Wainwright as our sales agent. Sales of the ADSs, if any, will be made by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through Nasdaq, the existing trading market for the ADSs, on or through any other existing trading market for the ADSs, to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to Wainwright as principal, or in any other method permitted by law.
Wainwright will offer the ADSs subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and Wainwright. We will designate the maximum number or amount of ADSs to be sold through Wainwright on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum number or amount together with Wainwright. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Wainwright will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on our behalf all of the ADSs requested to be sold by us. We may instruct Wainwright not to sell ADSs if the sales cannot be effected at or above a minimum price designated by us in any such instruction. Wainwright or we may suspend the offering of the ADSs being made through Wainwright under the Sales Agreement upon proper notice to the other party. Wainwright and we each have the right, by giving written notice as specified in the Sales Agreement, to terminate the Sales Agreement at each party’s sole discretion at any time. The offering of the ADSs pursuant to the Sales Agreement will otherwise terminate upon the termination of the Sales Agreement as provided therein.
We will pay Wainwright commissions for its services in acting as agent in the sale of the ADSs. Wainwright will be entitled to a commission in an amount equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the ADSs offered hereby sold by Wainwright. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Wainwright for fees and disbursements related to its legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $50,000 and up to a maximum of (i) $2,500 per due diligence update session conducted in connection with each date we file periodic financial information on Form 6-K and (ii) $5,000 per due diligence update session conducted in connection with each date we file our Annual Report on Form 20-F or file a new registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement or amend the Sales Agreement, plus any incidental expense incurred by Wainwright in connection therewith. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation payable to Wainwright under the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $90,000.
The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales of the ADSs, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such ADSs.
Wainwright will be responsible for a particular day’s sales and will provide written confirmation to us no later than the next succeeding trading day on Nasdaq after each such day on which ADSs are sold through Wainwright under the Sales Agreement. Each confirmation will include the amount or number of ADSs sold through Wainwright on that day, the volume-weighted average price of the ADSs sold, the percentage of the daily trading volume and the net proceeds to us from such sales.
Settlement for sales of ADSs will occur, unless the parties agree otherwise, on the first trading day (or such shorter settlement cycle as may be in effect under Exchange Act Rule 15c6-1 from time to time) following the date on which any sales were made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
In connection with the sale of the ADSs on our behalf pursuant to the Sales Agreement, Wainwright will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation paid to Wainwright will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed in the Sales Agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to Wainwright with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. As sales agent, Wainwright will not engage in any transactions that stabilize the ADSs.
Wainwright and/or its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking and other financial services for us for which services they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees.
