ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
We provide information to you about this offering of ADSs in three separate documents that are bound together: (1) this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific details regarding this offering; (2) the accompanying base prospectus covering the sale of ADSs by Itamar; and (3) the accompanying base prospectus covering the sale of ADSs by the Selling Shareholder. Each base prospectus provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. The accompanying base prospectus covering the sale of ADSs by Itamar is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 (333-250155) and the accompanying base prospectus covering the sale of ADSs by the Selling Shareholder is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 (333-252364) that we filed with the SEC utilizing a “shelf” registration process. This prospectus supplement may add, update or change information contained in the accompanying base prospectuses. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with either of the accompanying base prospectuses, you should rely on this prospectus supplement. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and the information contained in any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. 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 this prospectus supplement — the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.
We have not, and the Selling Shareholder and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide you with information other than that contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectuses and any free writing prospectus. We are not, and the Selling Shareholder and the underwriters are not, making an offer to sell or soliciting any offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted 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. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectuses, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering is accurate only as of the date of those respective documents.

We and the Selling Shareholder are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, ADSs only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the offering of ADSs in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus supplement must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of ADSs and the distribution of this prospectus supplement outside the United States. This prospectus supplement does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this prospectus supplement by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.

All references in this prospectus supplement to “NIS,” refer to New Israeli Shekels and the terms “dollar,” or “$” refer to U.S. dollars.
On February 3, 2021, the representative exchange rate, or Exchange Rate, between the NIS and the U.S. dollar, as quoted by the Bank of Israel, was NIS 3.30 to $1.00. Unless derived from our financial
S-iii
statements or indicated otherwise by the context, statements in this prospectus supplement that provide the U.S. dollar equivalent of NIS amounts or provide the NIS equivalent of U.S. dollar amounts are based on the representative exchange rate, as quoted by the Bank of Israel, as of such date (or, if no quote was provided for such date, the next quote provided) or, when the applicable date has yet to be determined, the Exchange Rate. Such U.S. dollar amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts of U.S. dollars that could actually have been purchased upon exchange of NIS at the dates indicated.
We have obtained trademark registrations in the U.S. for, among others, PAT, Endo PAT, WatchPAT, EndoScore, ITAMAR, CloudPAT and SLEEPATH and some of them are also registered in additional jurisdictions, including Europe, Japan, Canada, China, India, Russia, Mexico, Korea and Singapore.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary provides a general overview of selected information and does not contain all of the information you should consider before buying the ADSs. Therefore, you should read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectuses and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering carefully, including the information incorporated by reference herein, before deciding to invest in the ADSs. Investors should carefully consider the information set forth under “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-10 of this prospectus supplement and incorporated by reference from our annual report on Form 20-F.
Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of non-invasive medical devices and solutions to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory sleep disorders. We commercialize a digital healthcare platform to facilitate the continuum of care for effective sleep apnea management with a focus on the core sleep, cardiology markets. We offer a Total Sleep Solution, or TSS, to help physicians provide comprehensive sleep apnea management in a variety of clinical environments to optimize patient care and reduce healthcare system costs. Our key product, WatchPATTM, is commercially available in major markets including the United States, Japan, and Europe, and we estimate that we had an approximate 24% market share (measured by number of tests sold) in 2019 within the home sleep apnea test market in the United States.
Sleep apnea is a chronic disease affecting 54 to 60 million people in the United States and almost one of every four adults over the age of 40 in the United States. Sleep apnea is regarded as a major underlying risk factor and disease progression accelerator for most cardiovascular diseases as well as many cognitive and neurodegenerative diseases. Approximately 80% of adults in the United States that are suspected to be suffering from sleep apnea have never been diagnosed. In recent years, awareness of the importance of sleep and the devastating effects that could result from sleep apnea have risen across medical professionals and patients.
Our comprehensive TSS marketing program provides a complete, end-to-end solution that combines products and access to services designed to allow any physician that does not specialize in sleep an easy-to-use and accessible suite of products and services to aid in the diagnosis, transportation and handling, interpretation of the sleep study data, diagnosis, and access to third-party sleep apnea treatment device compliance data for patients that they suspect suffer from sleep apnea. We offer TSS primarily through our Test as a Service program that functions as a cost-per-test model.
Our key growth drivers are the core sleep and cardiology segments, as well as international expansion. The shift to remote home-based diagnosis and care, across healthcare systems, and particularly in the sleep apnea test market, accelerated by the COVID-19 outbreak during 2020, is an underlying trend that we believe, when combined with our offer of a full digital health sleep apnea solution, will continue to propel our key growth drivers in the short term, as well as our penetration into the Direct to Consumer, or DTC market, in the long term, harnessing consumer demand for accessible solutions that bypass traditional physician referral systems.
The foregoing information about us is a general summary and is not intended to be comprehensive. For additional information about our business, you should refer to the information under the heading “Incorporation of Documents by Reference.”
Recent Developments
Preliminary Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2020
Set forth below are preliminary estimates of financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, compared to actual financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019. We have provided a range for preliminary revenue results because our financial closing procedures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 are not yet complete. We
S-1
believe that the estimated revenue is important to an investor’s understanding of our performance, notwithstanding that we are not yet able to provide estimated operating loss or net loss data. These preliminary results represent our estimates only based on currently available information and do not present all necessary information for an understanding of our financial condition as of December 31, 2020, or our results of operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020. As we complete our year-end financial closing process and finalize our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, we may be required to make significant adjustments in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, revenues, inventories, provisions and share-based compensation.
This preliminary financial information is the responsibility of our management and reflects management’s estimates based solely upon information available to it as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Somekh Chaikin (a Member firm of KPMG International), our independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to this preliminary financial data or the accounting treatment thereof and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. We expect to complete our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 subsequent to the completion of this offering. It is possible that we may identify items that require us to make adjustments to the financial information set forth below and those changes could be material. We do not intend to update the financial information set forth below prior to completion of our year-end audited financial statements. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these preliminary estimates. These preliminary estimates are not necessarily indicative of any future period and should be read together with “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectuses.
Preliminary and unaudited revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2020 are expected to be in the range of $12.5 million to $12.8 million, reflecting growth of 28% to 31%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. Revenues of our WatchPAT family of products for the three months ended December 31, 2020 are expected to be in the range of $12.0 million to $12.3 million, reflecting growth of 32% to 35%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. U.S. revenues of our WatchPAT family of products for the three months ended December 31, 2020 are expected to be in the range of $10.0 million to $10.3 million, reflecting growth of 36% to 40%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. Preliminary and unaudited revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 is expected to be in the range of $40.8 million to $41.1 million, reflecting growth of approximately 31% over the year ended December 31, 2019. Revenues of our WatchPAT family of products for the year ended December 31, 2020 are expected to be in the range of $38.6 million to $38.9 million, reflecting growth of approximately 33% to 34%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. U.S. revenues of our WatchPAT family of products for the year ended December 31, 2020 are expected to be in the range of $31.6 million to $31.9 million, reflecting growth of 41% to 42%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, gross margin continued to be favorably impacted by the allocation of fixed costs and overhead expenses on higher volume of sales and by the continued increased sales of WatchPAT ONE. For that period, we expect that gross margin was generally consistent with that of the last two quarters. Operating expenses continued to increase mainly due to the following: (i) higher selling and marketing expenses, mainly due to additional sales commissions related to the increase in revenues and expenses associated with our geographic territories expansion; (ii) higher research and development activities, mainly related to our digital health platform;and (iii) higher legal expenses, including a commercial dispute in defense of our intellectual property initiated by us.
We estimate that our cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits were approximately $39.7 million as of December 31, 2020.
S-2
COVID-19
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its effects on markets and supply chains, continue to rapidly evolve. We have been facing and we expect that we will continue to face in the near future various challenges induced by the pandemic.
For example, we have been notified by one of our third-party suppliers that supplies a component required for our WatchPat and EndoPAT families of products that they will cease supplying such component to us primarily due to capacity restraints from unusually high demand for medical supplies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. While we maintain sufficient inventory of finished goods to allow us to meet our customers’ demand for approximately the next three months, we are actively working to qualify one or more alternative suppliers for this component to avoid any supply disruptions later in the second quarter of 2021. We estimate that replacement of such supplier will occur without any supply disruptions as this component is widely available and may be produced by other third-party manufacturers. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to qualify alternative supply sources without delays. For more information on COVID-19 and its effects on our business and the risks related to our dependence on third-party manufacturers and suppliers, see the risk factors in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein.
2021 Medicare Reimbursement Levels
In December 2020, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services published its annual update to its Physician Fee Schedule, or PFS, which included changes to the 2021 Medicare reimbursement levels for Current Procedural Terminology, or CPT, codes associated with HSATs. The update, representing the third year of a four-year plan to reevaluate payment for HSATs, further widened the gap between reimbursement rates for HSATs that do not have sleep time technology (CPT code 95806) and those that do (CPT code 95800), including our WatchPAT device. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law and enacted further adjustments to Medicare payment rates, which were implemented by CMS in January 2021. In 2020, CPT code 95800 was reimbursed by Medicare at a rate approximately 42% greater than CPT 95806. For 2021, the Medicare reimbursement rate for CPT code 95800 is approximately 66% higher than the Medicare payment rate for CPT code 95806, as a result of an approximate 14% decline for CPT code 95806 and an approximate 1% increase for CPT code 95800. We expect this trend to continue in 2022, thereby positioning our WatchPAT device for broader use by providers.
Acquisition of Spry Health
In January 2021, we announced our acquisition of the assets of Spry Health, or Spry, a San Francisco-based developer of an FDA-cleared, wrist-based medical grade remote patient monitoring, or RPM, solution called the “Loop.” This system is based on an extensive set of sensing technologies and algorithms that contextualize real-time, continuous physiological data to flag signs of patient deterioration using bio-markers such as SpO2, respiration rate and heart rate. Through the combination of our WatchPAT technology and Spry’s Loop technology, we intend to bring to market the first device for continuous RPM of sleep apnea. We plan to commence development of this device immediately, with an initial market launch anticipated in 2022. We estimate that following the acquisition of Spry, our operating expenses (mainly from research and development) will increase to approximately $3 million in 2021.
The total global RPM market in 2019 was approximately $800 million and is expected to reach approximately $2 billion by 2027. As such, we believe that the acquisition of Spry provides us with a valuable opportunity to expand our offerings within the growing home health monitoring solutions market.
SoClean Agreement
While the direct to consumer channel continues to be an important part of our U.S. commercialization strategy, and despite the recent efforts made by Lunella, a SoClean subsidiary, to maintain our business
S-3
partnership, Lunella has been facing a challenging consumer discretionary spending environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, we no longer anticipate Lunella will meet their annual contractual minimum commitment under our agreement. As such, we are in discussion with SoClean regarding the terms of our agreement.
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 JOBS Act. As such, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other publicly traded entities that do not qualify as emerging growth companies. These exemptions include:
•
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
•
not being required to submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden parachutes; and
•
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.
Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to irrevocably opt out of this extended transition period and, as a result, we are required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Under federal securities laws, our decision to opt out of the extended transition period is irrevocable. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions. We have taken advantage of some reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectuses and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. Accordingly, the information that we provide shareholders may be different than what you might obtain from other public companies in which you hold equity interests.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion; (ii) the last day of 2024; (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during any three-year period.
Foreign Private Issuer
We currently 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 United States domestic public companies, including:
•
the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;
•
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
S-4
•
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, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.
Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies also are exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, if we remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither an emerging growth company nor a foreign private issuer.
We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer. We are required to determine our status as a foreign private issuer on an annual basis at the end of our second fiscal quarter. We would cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by United States residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are United States citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States.

S-9
RISK FACTORS
Investment in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectuses involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors described below and in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, any amendment or update thereto, any subsequent Annual Reports on Form 20-F, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectuses, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.
Risks Relating to this Offering
If you purchase ADSs sold in this offering, you may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your ADSs. In addition, we may issue additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future, which may result in additional dilution to you.
The price per ADS of the ADSs being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per ADS prior to this offering. Based on a public offering price of $ per ADS, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $ million, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, new investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $ per ADS, representing the difference between our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ADS, after giving effect to this offering, and the assumed public offering price. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see the section entitled “Dilution” below. In addition, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future and we issue additional ADSs or ordinary shares or securities convertible or exchangeable for ADSs or for our ordinary shares, our then-existing shareholders may experience dilution and the new securities may have rights senior to those of the ADSs offered in this offering.
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of 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 the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management might not apply our net proceeds in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with our existing cash resources, to hire additional sales and marketing personnel, expand marketing, clinical education and support activities, fund research and development of new product offerings and clinical database studies, invest in our IT and facility infrastructure, pursue non-organic growth opportunities and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we plan to invest the net proceeds from the offering in short and intermediate-term interest-bearing obligations and certificates of deposit. We may also change our investment policy after the date of this prospectus supplement. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our shareholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance shareholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause the ADS or share price to decline.
Future sales or issuances of the ADSs or ordinary shares in the public markets, or the perception of such sales, could depress the trading price of the ADSs.
The sale of a substantial number of the ADSs, ordinary shares or other equity-related securities in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of the ADSs and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We may sell large quantities of the ADSs at any time pursuant to this prospectus supplement or in one or more separate offerings. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of the ADSs, ordinary shares or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of the ADSs.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectuses and the documents that we file with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectuses, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Although we believe that these estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties some of which are beyond our control, and are made in light of information currently available to us.
In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “continue,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying base prospectuses and the documents that we file with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectuses may include, but are not limited to, statements about:
•
the development of our products;
•
the potential attributes and benefit of our products and their competitive position;
•
our ability to successfully commercialize, or enter into strategic relationships with third parties to commercialize, our products;
•
our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and our need for additional financing;
•
our ability to acquire or in-license new product candidates;
•
potential strategic relationships; and
•
the duration of our patent portfolio.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. Actual outcomes may differ materially from the information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors, including, without limitation, the Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is on file with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and in the documents and reports that we file or furnish with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, as well as any risks described in the accompanying base prospectuses.
We operate in an evolving environment. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectuses and the documents that we file or furnish with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectuses relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
S-11
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $ million (or approximately $ million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs in full), after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with our existing cash resources, to hire additional sales and marketing personnel, expand marketing, clinical education and support activities, fund research and development of new product offerings and clinical database studies, invest in our IT and facility infrastructure, pursue non-organic growth opportunities and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The expected use of the net proceeds from the offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to in-license, acquire, or invest in additional products, assets, businesses or technologies, although currently we have no specific material agreements, commitments, or understandings in this regard.
The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including sales, marketing and development efforts and other factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectuses and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received from this offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds.
Pending their use, we plan to invest the net proceeds from the offering in short and intermediate-term interest-bearing obligations and certificates of deposit, although our investment policy may change following the date of this prospectus supplement.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of ADSs by the Selling Shareholder. The Selling Shareholder will receive all of the proceeds from the sales of its ADSs in this offering, after discounts and commissions payable to the underwriters. Expenses of this offering will be paid by us.
S-12
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs in the foreseeable future. We intend to use our earnings and other cash resources to continue the development and expansion of our business. Any future dividend policy will be determined by our Board of Directors and will be based upon conditions then-existing, including our results of operations, financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs, contractual restrictions and other conditions.
Subject to any preferential, deferred or other rights or restrictions attached to any special class of shares with regard to dividends, the profits of the Company available for dividends and resolved to be distributed shall be applied in payment of dividends upon the shares of the Company in the same manner with respect to all of the shares granting a right to receive dividends on the date that resolution is adopted (or on later date, as determined by the Board of Directors). Generally, our Board of Directors may declare dividends only out of profits legally available for distribution, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, as described below, and is entitled to invest or utilize any unclaimed amount of dividends in any manner to our benefit until it is claimed. We are not obligated to pay interest or linkage on an unclaimed dividend.
The Companies Law imposes restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends. According to the Companies Law, a company may distribute dividends only out of its “profits,” as such term is defined in the Companies Law and provided that there is no reasonable concern that payment of the dividend will prevent such company from satisfying its existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends may be paid with the approval of a court, provided that there is no reasonable concern that payment of the dividend will prevent us from satisfying our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due. “Profits,” for purposes of the Companies Law, means the greater of retained earnings or earnings accumulated during the preceding two years, after deduction of previous distributions that were not already deducted from the surpluses, as evidenced by the most recent audited or reviewed financial statements of the company prepared no more than six months prior to the date of distribution. Our articles of association provide that dividends will be declared and paid at the discretion of, and upon resolution by, our Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law. In addition, the security agreements in connection with our credit facility with Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd. contain a number of customary restrictive terms and covenants, including with respect to the distribution of dividends.
Payment of dividends may be subject to Israeli withholding taxes. See “Material Tax Considerations — Israeli Tax Considerations” for additional information.

S-14
DILUTION
If you invest in the ADSs, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the price per ADS you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per ADS of the ADSs immediately after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2020 was approximately $45.2 million, or approximately $3.20 per ADS based upon 14,140,012 ADSs outstanding (using the ratio of 30 ordinary shares to one ADS). Net tangible book value per ADS is equal to our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the total number of ADSs outstanding as of September 30, 2020.
After giving effect to the sale of ADSs by us in the aggregate amount of $ million at an assumed offering price of $ per ADS, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2020 would have been $ million, or $ per ADS (using the ratio of 30 ordinary shares to one ADS). This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per ADS to our existing ADS holders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $ per ADS to new investors in this offering.
The following table illustrates this calculation on a per ADS basis. The as adjusted information is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual price to the public, the actual number of ADSs sold by us and other terms of the offering determined at the time ADSs are sold by us pursuant to this prospectus supplement. The as adjusted information assumes that all of the ADSs in the aggregate gross amount of $ million is sold by us at the assumed offering price of $ per ADS.
| Assumed public offering price per ADS | | | | | | | | | | $ | | | |
| Net tangible book value per ADS as of September 30, 2020 | | | | $ | 3.20 | | | | | | | | |
| Increase in net tangible book value per ADS attributable to the offering | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As adjusted net tangible book value per ADS after giving effect to the offering | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Dilution per ADS to new investors participating in the offering | | | | | | | | | | $ | | |
The above discussion and table are based on 14,140,012 ADSs legally outstanding as of September 30, 2020, and excludes:
•
46,589,993 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of share options outstanding as of September 30, 2020 at a weighted average exercise price of NIS 1.40 (equivalent to approximately $0.42) per ordinary share;
•
2,780,993 ordinary shares issuable upon the vesting RSUs, outstanding as of September 30, 2020;
•
1,741,344 ordinary shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs, outstanding as of September 30, 2020 at an exercise price of NIS 0.30 (equivalent to approximately $0.09); and
•
311,254 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase ordinary shares outstanding as of September 30, 2020 at a weighted average exercise price of NIS 1.36 (equivalent to approximately $0.41) per ordinary share.
To the extent that share options or warrants are exercised, RSUs become vested or we issue additional ADSs in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in the offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital because of market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

SELLING SHAREHOLDER
This prospectus supplement relates to the resale by the Selling Shareholder, Viola Growth 2 A.V. Limited Partnership, of ADSs or ADSs if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs in full.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Israeli Tax Considerations
The following is a summary of the principal Israeli tax laws applicable to Israeli companies, with special reference to their effect on us. The following also contains a discussion of material Israeli tax consequences concerning the ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares or ADSs purchased by investors in this offering. This summary does not discuss all the aspects of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal investment circumstances or to some types of investors subject to special treatment under Israeli law, including investors whose business is dealing in securities or who are subject to special tax regimes. Some parts of this discussion are based on tax legislation which has not been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation. We cannot assure you that the views expressed in the discussion will be accepted by the appropriate tax authorities or the courts. The 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, and therefore is not intended, and should not be construed, as legal or professional tax advice and is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations.
YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE ISRAELI OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES OR ADSs, INCLUDING, IN PARTICULAR, THE EFFECT OF ANY FOREIGN, STATE OR LOCAL TAXES.
General Corporate Tax Structure in Israel
Most of our production facilities have been granted “Approved Enterprise” and “Benefited Enterprise” status under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, or the Investment Law. As such, we may be entitled to tax benefits with respect to taxable income arising from our Approved or Benefited Enterprise status.
Generally, Israeli companies are subject to Israeli corporate tax on their taxable income at the rate of 23% for the 2018 tax year and thereafter. However, the effective tax rate payable by a company that generates income qualifying for benefits under the Investment Law may be considerably less. Israeli companies are generally subject to capital gains tax at the regular corporate tax rate.
We are permitted to measure our Israeli taxable income in U.S. dollars pursuant to regulations published by the Israeli Ministry of Finance, subject to satisfying the conditions set forth therein. We believe that we meet, and we expect that we will continue to meet, the necessary conditions and as such, starting with our 2016 tax year, we measure our results for Israeli tax purposes based on the U.S. dollar and the NIS exchange rate on December 31 of the relevant tax year.
Tax Benefits under the Investment Law
The Investment Law provides certain incentives for capital investments in production facilities (or other eligible assets). Generally, an investment program that is implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Law, referred to as an Approved Enterprise, a Benefited Enterprise, a Preferred Enterprise, or a Preferred Technological Enterprise, or a Special Preferred Technological Enterprise, is entitled to benefits as discussed below. These benefits may include cash grants from the Israeli government and tax benefits, based upon, among other things, the geographic location in Israel of the facility in which the investment is made. In order to qualify for these incentives, the Company is required to comply with the requirements of the Investment Law.
The Investment Law has been amended several times over the recent years, with the three most significant changes effective as of April 1, 2005 (referred to as the 2005 Amendment), as of January 1, 2011 (referred to as the 2011 Amendment) and as of January 1, 2017 (referred to as the 2017 Amendment). Pursuant to the 2005 Amendment, tax benefits granted in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Law prior to its revision by the 2005 Amendment remain in force but any benefits granted subsequently are subject to the provisions of the amended Investment Law. Similarly, the 2011 Amendment introduced new benefits instead of the benefits granted in accordance with the provisions of
S-17
the Investment Law prior to the 2011 Amendment. However, companies entitled to benefits under the Investment Law as in effect up to January 1, 2011 were entitled to choose to continue to enjoy such benefits, provided that certain conditions are met, or elect instead, irrevocably, to forego such benefits and elect the benefits of the 2011 Amendment. The 2017 Amendment introduced new benefits for Technological Enterprises, alongside the existing tax benefits.
The 2011 Amendment canceled the availability of the benefits granted in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Law prior to 2011 and, instead, introduced new benefits for income generated by a “Preferred Company” through its Preferred Enterprise (as such terms are defined in the Investment Law) as of January 1, 2011. A Preferred Company is defined as either (i) a company incorporated in Israel which is not wholly owned by a governmental entity or (ii) a limited partnership that (a) was registered under the Israeli Partnerships Ordinance and (b) all of its limited partners are companies incorporated in Israel, but not all of them are governmental entities; which has, among other things, Preferred Enterprise status and is controlled and managed from Israel. Pursuant to the 2011 Amendment, a Preferred Company was entitled to a reduced corporate tax rate. Pursuant to the 2017 Amendment, in 2017 and thereafter, the corporate tax rate for a Preferred Enterprise that is located in a specified development zone (zone A) is 7.5%, while the reduced corporate tax rate for a Preferred Enterprise located in other development zones is 16%.
The 2017 Amendment provides that a Preferred Company satisfying certain conditions will qualify as having a Preferred Technological Enterprise and will thereby enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 12% on income that qualifies as Preferred Technological Income, or PTI, as defined in the Investment Law. The corporate tax rate is further reduced to 7.5% with respect to PTI of a Preferred Technological Enterprise located in development zone A.
The 2017 Amendment further provides that a Preferred Company satisfying certain conditions will qualify as having a Special Preferred Technological Enterprise (which requires, among others, that the total consolidated revenues of the group of which the Preferred Company is a member is at least NIS 10 billion) and will thereby enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 6% on PTI regardless of the company’s geographic location within Israel.
Most of our production facilities have been granted Approved Enterprise and Benefited Enterprise status under the Investment Law. As such, we may be entitled to tax benefits for taxable income arising from our Approved or Benefited Enterprise status. Since our incorporation, we incurred significant losses and therefore we have not benefited from such status to date. To be eligible for these tax benefits, we must continue to meet certain conditions stipulated in the Investment Law and its regulations and the criteria set out in the specific certificate of approval, including that we meet a minimum threshold (25%) of export sales (i.e., sales outside of Israel). In the event that we are considered as having failed to comply with these conditions, in whole or in part, the eligibility for the benefits may be canceled and we may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, as adjusted for inflation plus interest. However, since we have accumulated carryforward tax losses of approximately $115 million as of December 31, 2019, we did not benefit from such tax benefits and do not expect to benefit from such tax benefits in the foreseeable future. Once we utilize all of our accumulated tax losses, we expect to derive tax benefits in Israel relating to our Approved Enterprise and Benefited Enterprise status, provided we continue to be eligible for such benefits. Our income from sources other than from our Approved Enterprise and Benefited Enterprise status are taxable at regular Israeli corporate tax rates (currently 23%).
A company having an Approved Enterprise and Benefited Enterprise status, like us, that distributes a dividend from income that was exempt from corporate tax, will be required in the tax year of the dividend distribution to pay corporate tax on the amount of the dividend distributed at the corporate tax rate that would have been applicable to it in the year the income was generated if it had not been exempt from tax (including any tax withholding required as a result of the distribution).
Tax Benefits and Grants for Research and Development
Israeli tax law allows, under specified conditions, a tax deduction for expenditures related to scientific research and development projects, including capital expenditures, for the year in which they are incurred, provided that the expenses are approved by the relevant Israeli government ministry,
S-18
determined by the field of research, and the research and development is conducted for the promotion of the company and carried out by or on behalf of the company seeking such deduction. However, the amount of such deductible expenses will be reduced by the sum of any funds received through government grants for the financing of such scientific research and development projects. In addition, no deduction under these research and development deduction rules is allowed if such deduction is related to an expense invested in an asset depreciable under the general depreciation rules of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961, or the Tax Ordinance. Expenditures not so approved are deductible over a three-year period.
From time to time, we may apply to the Israel Innovation Authority for approval to allow a tax deduction for research and development expenses during the year incurred. There can be no assurance that such application will be approved.
Tax Benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969
Under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969, or the Industry Encouragement Law, Industrial Companies (as defined below) are entitled to the following tax benefits, among others:
•
amortization over an eight-year period of the cost of purchased know-how and patents and rights to use a patent and know-how which are used for the development or advancement of the Industrial Enterprise (as defined below), commencing from the tax year where the Industrial Enterprise began to use them;
•
deductions of expenses related to a public offering of its shares on a stock market in equal amounts over a three-year period commencing in the year of the offering; and
•
the right to elect, under specified conditions, to file a consolidated tax return with other related Israeli Industrial Companies.
Eligibility for the above mentioned benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from any governmental authority. Under the Industry Encouragement Law, an “Industrial Company” is defined as a company which is an Israeli resident for tax purposes and was incorporated in Israel, at least 90% of the income of which, in any tax year, determined in Israeli currency, exclusive of income from government loans, capital gains, interest and dividends, is derived from an “Industrial Enterprise” owned by it. An “Industrial Enterprise” is defined as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production activity. We believe that we currently qualify as an Industrial Company within the definition of the Industry Encouragement Law. No assurance can be given that we will continue to qualify as an Industrial Company or that the benefits described above will be available to us in the future.
Capital Gains Tax on Sales of our Ordinary Shares and ADSs
The following discussion refers to the sale of our ordinary shares. However, the same tax treatment would apply to the sale of our ADSs.
Israeli law generally imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of any capital assets by Israeli residents, as defined for Israeli tax purposes, and on the sale of assets located in Israel, including shares in Israeli companies, by both Israeli residents and non-Israeli residents, unless a specific exemption is available or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence provides otherwise. The Tax Ordinance distinguishes between real gain and inflationary surplus. The inflationary surplus is a portion of the total capital gain equivalent to the increase of the relevant asset’s purchase price attributable to an increase in the Israeli consumer price index, or a foreign currency exchange rate, between the date of purchase and the date of sale. The real gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the inflationary surplus. Inflationary surplus is currently not subject to tax in Israel.
Taxation of Israeli Residents
The tax rate generally applicable to real capital gains derived from the sale of shares, whether listed on a stock market or not, is 25% for Israeli individuals, unless such shareholder is considered a “significant shareholder” at any time during the 12-month period preceding such sale (i.e., such shareholder holds
S-19
directly or indirectly, including jointly or with others, at least 10% of any means of control in the company (which includes, among other things, the right to receive profits of the company, voting rights, the rights to receive proceeds upon the company’s liquidation and the right to appoint a director)), in which case the tax rate will be 30%. Israeli companies are subject to the corporate tax rate (currently 23%) on real capital gains derived from the sale of listed shares.
Taxation of Non-Israeli Residents
Non-Israeli residents are generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale of shares purchased upon or after the registration of the shares on the TASE or on a regulated market outside of Israel (such as Nasdaq), provided, among others, that such gains did not derive from a permanent establishment of such shareholders in Israel. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to such exemption if Israeli residents, whether directly or indirectly, (i) hold more than 25% of the means of control 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. Such exemption is not applicable to a person whose gains from selling or disposing the shares are deemed to be business income.
In addition, the sale of our ordinary shares by a shareholder who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the Convention Between the Government of the United States and the Government of the State of Israel with respect to Taxes of Income, as amended, or the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty), and who holds ordinary shares as a capital asset, is also exempt from Israeli capital gains tax under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty unless (i) such shareholder holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of the voting power of our company during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, (ii) the capital gains arising from such sale are attributable to a permanent establishment of such shareholder located in Israel, (iii) the gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to real estate located in Israel under Israeli tax law, or (iv) the U.S. shareholder, being an individual, is present in Israel for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the relevant taxable year. If the above conditions are not met, the U.S. resident would be subject to Israeli tax, unless exempt under the Israeli domestic law as described above. Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the gain may be treated as foreign source income for United States foreign tax credit purposes, upon an election by the U.S. resident, and such U.S. resident may be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the United States federal income tax imposed on such sale, subject to the limitations under the United States federal income tax laws applicable to foreign tax credits.
The payment of the consideration on the sale of ordinary shares may be subject to withholding tax in Israel. Shareholders may be required to demonstrate that they are exempt from tax on their capital gains in order to avoid withholding at the time of sale.
Taxation of Dividends Paid on our Ordinary Shares and ADSs
The following discussion refers to dividends paid on our ordinary shares. However, the same tax treatment would apply to dividends paid on ADSs. We cannot assure you that, in the event we declare a dividend, we will designate the profits that we distribute in a way that will reduce shareholders’ tax liability.
Taxation of Israeli Residents
Israeli resident individuals are generally subject to Israeli income tax on the receipt of dividends paid on our ordinary shares. The tax rate generally applicable to such dividends is 25%, or 30% for an individual shareholder that is considered a significant shareholder (described above) at any time during the 12-month period preceding such distribution. Israeli resident companies are generally exempt from income tax from dividends sourced from income produced or accrued in Israel, received directly or indirectly from another company that is subject to Israeli corporate tax. Dividends paid from income derived from our Approved and Benefited Enterprises are generally subject to withholding tax at the rate of 15%.
Taxation of Non-Israeli Residents
Non-Israeli residents, both companies and individuals, are generally subject to Israeli income tax on the receipt of dividends paid on our ordinary shares, at the rate of 25%, or 30% for a shareholder that is
S-20
considered a significant shareholder (described above) at any time during the 12-month period preceding such distribution. Such dividends are generally subject to Israeli withholding tax at a rate of 25% if the shares are registered with a nominee company (whether or not the recipient is a significant shareholder), which tax will be withheld at source, unless a different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence (subject to the receipt in advance of a valid tax certificate from the Israel Tax Authority allowing for a reduced tax rate).
Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the following withholding 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 which 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 voting shares 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 type of interest or dividends — the withholding tax rate is 12.5%, (ii) if both the conditions mentioned in (i) above are met and the dividend is paid from an Israeli resident company’s income which was entitled to a reduced tax rate applicable to an Approved Enterprise or Benefited Enterprise — the withholding tax rate is 15% if a certificate for a reduced withholding tax rate would be provided in advance from the Israel Tax Authority and (iii) in all other cases, the withholding tax rate is 25%. A non-Israeli resident who receives a dividend derived from or accrued in Israel, from which tax was withheld at source, is generally exempt from the duty to file tax returns in Israel with respect to such income, provided that the recipient is not otherwise required to file a tax return in Israel.
Israeli Excess Tax
Individuals who are subject to tax in Israel (whether 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 exceeding a certain threshold (NIS 647,640 for 2021 (equivalent to approximately $196,255)), which amount is linked to the Israeli consumer price index, including, but not limited to, income derived from dividends, interest and capital gains.
Estate and Gift Tax
Israeli law presently does not impose estate or gift taxes.
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following summary describes certain United States federal income tax considerations generally applicable to United States Holders (as defined below) of the ADSs. This summary deals only with the ADSs held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Internal Revenue Code. This summary also does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to holders in special tax situations including, without limitation, dealers in securities, traders that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting, holders that own the ADSs as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” or other integrated investment, banks or other financial institutions, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, United States expatriates, holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, holders subject to the alternative minimum tax, holders that acquired the ADSs in a compensatory transaction, holders subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the ADSs being taken into account in an applicable financial statement, holders which are entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for United States federal income tax purposes or holders that actually or constructively through attribution own 10% or more of the total voting power or value of our outstanding ordinary shares or ADSs.
This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, applicable United States Treasury regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). No ruling will be requested from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, regarding the tax consequences described herein, and there can be no
S-21
assurance that the IRS will agree with the discussion set out below. This summary does not address any United States federal tax consequences other than United States federal income tax consequences (such as the estate and gift tax or the Medicare tax on net investment income).
As used herein, the term “United States Holder” means a beneficial owner of the ADSs that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or therein or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (a) that is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more United States persons as described in Internal Revenue Code Section 7701(a)(30), or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a “United States person.”
If an entity or other arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes acquires the ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of a partnership considering an investment in the ADSs should consult their tax advisers regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the ADSs.
The discussion below assumes that the representations contained in the deposit agreement are true and that the obligations in the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be complied with in accordance with their terms. Generally, a holder of an ADS should be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as holding the ordinary shares represented by the ADS. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized upon an exchange of ADSs for ordinary shares. The United States Treasury has expressed concerns that intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holder of an ADS and the issuer of the security underlying the ADS may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the beneficial ownership of the underlying security. Accordingly the creditability of foreign taxes, if any, as described below, could be affected by actions taken by intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holders of ADSs and our company if as a result of such actions the holders of ADSs are not properly treated as beneficial owners of underlying ordinary shares.
THE SUMMARY OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES SET OUT BELOW IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ALL PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISERS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF OWNING THE ADSs, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS AND POSSIBLE CHANGES IN TAX LAW.
Dividends
Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company,” the amount of dividends paid to a United States Holder with respect to ADSs before reduction for any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom generally will be included in the United States Holder’s gross income as ordinary income from foreign sources to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes). Distributions in excess of earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the United States Holder’s adjusted tax basis in those ADSs and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not intend to calculate our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles. Therefore, United States Holders should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above. The amount of any distribution paid in foreign currency will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such currency, translated at the spot rate of exchange on the date such distribution is received, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time.
Foreign withholding tax (if any) paid on dividends on ADSs at the rate applicable to a United States Holder (taking into account any applicable income tax treaty) will, subject to limitations and conditions, be treated as foreign income tax eligible for credit against such holder’s United States federal income tax liability or, at such holder’s election, eligible for deduction in computing such holder’s United States federal taxable income. Dividends paid on ADSs generally will constitute “passive category income” for
S-22
purposes of the foreign tax credit. However, if we are a “United States-owned foreign corporation,” solely for foreign tax credit purposes, a portion of the dividends allocable to our United States source earnings and profits may be re-characterized as United States source. A “United States-owned foreign corporation” is any foreign corporation in which United States persons own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more (by vote or by value) of the stock. In general, United States-owned foreign corporations with less than 10% of earnings and profits attributable to sources within the United States are excepted from these rules. If we are treated as a “United States-owned foreign corporation,” and if 10% or more of our earnings and profits are attributable to sources within the United States, a portion of the dividends paid on the ADSs allocable to our United States source earnings and profits will be treated as United States source, and, as such, a United States Holder may not offset any foreign tax withheld as a credit against United States federal income tax imposed on that portion of dividends. The rules governing the treatment of foreign taxes imposed on a United States Holder and foreign tax credits are complex, and United States Holders should consult their tax advisors about the impact of these rules in their particular situations.
Dividends paid to a non-corporate United States Holder by a “qualified foreign corporation” may be subject to reduced rates of taxation if certain holding period and other requirements are met. “Qualified foreign corporation” generally includes a foreign corporation (other than a foreign corporation that is a PFIC with respect to the relevant United States Holder for the taxable year in which the dividends are paid or for the preceding taxable year) (i) whose ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or (ii) which is eligible for benefits under a comprehensive United States income tax treaty that includes an exchange of information program and which the United States Treasury Department has determined is satisfactory for these purposes. ADSs are expected to be readily tradable on Nasdaq, an established securities market. United States Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends paid with respect to ADSs. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations.
Disposition of ADSs
Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company,” a United States Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes on the sale or other taxable disposition of ADSs equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized and the United States Holder’s adjusted tax basis in those ADSs. If any Israeli tax is imposed on the sale, exchange or other disposition of ADSs, a United States Holder’s amount realized will include the gross amount of the proceeds of the deposits before deduction of the Israeli tax. In general, capital gains recognized by a non-corporate United States Holder, including an individual, are subject to a lower rate under current law if such United States Holder held shares for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss generally will be treated as United States source income or loss for purposes of the foreign tax credit. A United States Holder’s initial tax basis in shares generally will equal the cost of such shares. Because gain for the sale or other disposition of ADSs will be treated as United States source income, and you may use foreign tax credits against only the portion of United States federal income tax liability that is attributed to foreign source income in the same category, your ability to utilize a foreign tax credit with respect to the Israeli tax imposed on any such sale or other disposition, if any, may be significantly limited. In addition, if you are eligible for the benefit of the income tax convention between the United States and the State of Israel and pay Israeli tax in excess of the amount applicable to you under such convention or if the Israeli tax paid is refundable, you will not be able to claim any foreign tax credit or deduction with respect to such Israeli tax. You should consult your tax advisor as to whether the Israeli tax on gains may be creditable or deductible in light of your particular circumstances and your ability to apply the provisions of an applicable treaty.
If the consideration received upon the sale or other taxable disposition of ADSs is paid in foreign currency, the amount realized will be the U.S. dollar value of the payment received, translated at the spot rate of exchange on the date of taxable disposition. If ADSs are treated as traded on an established securities market, a cash basis United States Holder and an accrual basis United States Holder who has made a special election (which must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS) will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized in foreign
S-23
currency by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale. An accrual basis United States Holder that does not make the special election will recognize exchange gain or loss to the extent attributable to the difference between the exchange rates on the sale date and the settlement date, and such exchange gain or loss generally will constitute ordinary income or loss.
Passive Foreign Investment Company
We would be a PFIC for any taxable year if, after the application of certain look-through rules, either: (i) 75% or more of our gross income for such year is “passive income” (as defined in the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or (ii) 50% or more of the value of our assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Based on our market capitalization and the composition of our income, assets and operations, we believe that we were not a PFIC for 2020 and do not expect to be a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, this is a factual determination that must be made annually after the close of each taxable year. Moreover, the fair market value of our assets (including goodwill and going concern value) for purposes of the PFIC determination will generally be determined by reference to the public price of ADSs, which could fluctuate significantly. In addition, it is possible that the IRS may take a contrary position with respect to our determination in any particular year, and therefore, there can be no assurance that we were not a PFIC for 2020 or will not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or in the future. Certain adverse United States federal income tax consequences could apply to a United States Holder if we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which such United States Holder holds ADSs. Under the PFIC rules, if we were considered a PFIC at any time that a United States Holder holds ADSs, we would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such holder’s investment unless (i) we cease to be a PFIC, and (ii) the United States Holder has made a “deemed sale” election under the PFIC rules.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year that a United States Holder holds ADSs, any gain recognized by the United States Holder on a sale or other disposition of ADSs would be allocated pro-rata over the United States Holder’s holding period for the ADSs. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or the highest rate in effect for corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge would be imposed. Further, to the extent that any distribution received by a United States Holder on ADSs exceeds 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the ADSs received during the preceding three years or the United States Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, that distribution would be subject to taxation in the same manner as gain on the sale or other disposition of ADSs if we were a PFIC, described above. Certain elections may be available that would result in alternative treatments (such as mark-to-market treatment) of the ADSs. If we are treated as a PFIC with respect to a United States Holder for any taxable year, the United States Holder will be deemed to own equity in any of the entities in which we hold equity that also are PFICs. A timely election to treat us as a qualified electing fund under the Internal Revenue Code would result in an alternative treatment. However, we do not intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable United States Holders to make a qualified electing fund election. If we are considered a PFIC, a United States Holder also will be subject to annual information reporting requirements. United States Holders should consult their own tax adviser about the potential application of the PFIC rules to an investment in the ADSs.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Dividend payments and proceeds paid from the sale or other taxable disposition of ADSs may be subject to information reporting to the IRS. In addition, a United States Holder (other than an exempt holder who establishes its exempt status if required) may be subject to backup withholding on cash payments received in connection with dividend payments and proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition of ADSs made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries.
Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a United States Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number, makes other required certification and otherwise complies with the applicable
S-24
requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules will be creditable or refundable against the United States Holder’s United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Foreign Financial Asset Reporting
Certain United States Holders are required to report their holdings of certain foreign financial assets, including equity of foreign entities, if the aggregate value of all of these assets exceeds certain threshold amounts. The ADSs are expected to constitute foreign financial assets subject to these requirements unless the ADSs are held in an account at certain financial institutions. United States Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these reporting requirements.

The Selling Shareholder as well as our directors and certain of our executive officers have agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior written consent of Piper Sandler & Co., Cowen and Company, LLC and SVB Leerink LLC for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement they will not, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, lend, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Lock-Up Securities, or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-up Securities, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act, (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) which is designed to or which reasonably would be expected to lead to or result in a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition (whether by the undersigned or someone other than the undersigned), or transfer of any of the economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any shares of Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) otherwise publicly announce any intention to engage in or cause any action or activity described in clause (i) above or transaction or arrangement described in clause (ii) above.

Indemnification
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and the Selling Shareholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters and the Selling Shareholder may be required to make for these liabilities.
Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids
The underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short sales, and penalty bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the ADSs, in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act:
•
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
•
A short position involves a sale by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of ADSs the underwriters are obligated to purchase in the offering, which creates the syndicate short position. This short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of ADSs involved in the sales made by the underwriters in excess of the number of ADSs they are obligated to purchase is not greater than the number
S-27
of ADSs that they may purchase by exercising their option to purchase additional ADSs. In a naked short position, the number of ADSs involved is greater than the number of ADSs in their option to purchase additional ADSs. The underwriters may close out any short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional ADSs and/or purchasing ADSs in the open market. In determining the source of ADSs to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of ADSs available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase ADSs through their option to purchase additional ADSs. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the ADSs in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
•
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the ADSs in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
•
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the ADSs originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
These stabilizing transactions, short positions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our ADSs or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the ADSs. As a result, the price of the ADSs may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the ADSs. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
Passive Market Making
In connection with the offering, underwriters and selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in the ADSs on Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act during the period before the commencement of offers or sales of ADSs and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bids at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of the security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid that bid must be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
Electronic Distribution
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the Internet sites or through other online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters and/or selling group members participating in this offering, or by their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and, depending upon the particular underwriter or selling group member, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of ADSs for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriters on the same basis as other allocations.

OUR COMPANY
Company Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of non-invasive medical devices and solutions to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory sleep disorders. We commercialize a digital healthcare platform to facilitate the continuum of care for effective sleep apnea management with a focus on the core sleep, cardiology markets. We offer a Total Sleep Solution, or TSS, to help physicians provide comprehensive sleep apnea management in a variety of clinical environments to optimize patient care and reduce healthcare system costs. Our key product, WatchPATTM, is commercially available in major markets including the United States, Japan, and Europe.
Sleep apnea is a chronic disease affecting 54 to 60 million people in the United States and almost one of every four adults over the age of 40 in the United States. Sleep is regarded as a major underlying risk factor and disease progression accelerator for most cardiovascular diseases as well as many cognitive and neurodegenerative diseases. Approximately 80% of adults in the United States that are suspected to be suffering from sleep apnea have never been diagnosed. In recent years, awareness of the importance of sleep and the devastating effects that could result from sleep apnea have risen across medical professionals and patients.
Our comprehensive TSS marketing program provides a complete, end-to-end solution that combines products and access to services designed to allow any physician that does not specialize in sleep an easy-to-use and accessible suite of products and services to aid in the diagnosis, transportation and handling, interpretation of the sleep study data, diagnosis, and access to third-party sleep apnea treatment device compliance data for patients that they suspect suffer from sleep apnea. We offer TSS primarily through our Test as a Service program that functions as a cost-per-test model.
Our key growth drivers are the core sleep and cardiology segments, as well as international expansion. The shift to remote home-based diagnosis and care, across healthcare systems, and particularly in the sleep apnea tests’ market, accelerated by the Covid-19 outbreak during 2020, is an underlying trend that, combined with our offer of a full digital health sleep apnea solution we believe, will continue to propel our key growth drivers in the short term, as well as penetration into the Direct to Consumer, or DTC market, in the long term, harnessing consumers demand for accessible solutions that bypass traditional physician referral systems.
The foregoing information about us is a general summary and is not intended to be comprehensive. For additional information about our business, you should refer to the information under the heading “Incorporation of Documents by Reference.”

Except as set forth under the heading “Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control
Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.
Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets
We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to any person (a “successor person”) unless:
•
we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than Itamar) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; and
•
immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.
Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us. (Section 5.1)
10
Events of Default
“Event of Default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:
•
default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period);
•
default in the payment of principal of any security of that series at its maturity;
•
default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee or us and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;
•
certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Itamar; or
•
any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement. (Section 6.1)
No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. (Section 6.1) The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries outstanding from time to time.
We will provide the trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof. (Section 6.1)
If an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. (Section 6.2) We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
The indenture provides that the trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power. (Section 7.1(e)) Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal
11
amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series. (Section 6.12)
No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:
•
that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and
•
the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days. (Section 6.7)
Notwithstanding any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment. (Section 6.8)
The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. (Section 4.3) If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the securities of that series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities. (Section 7.5)
Modification and Waiver
We and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder of any debt security:
•
to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
•
to comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;
•
to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities;
•
to add guarantees with respect to debt securities of any series or secure debt securities of any series;
•
to surrender any of our rights or powers under the indenture;
•
to add covenants or events of default for the benefit of the holders of debt securities of any series;
•
to comply with the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary;
•
to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities;
•
to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities of any series as permitted by the indenture;
•
to effect the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of any series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one trustee; or
12
•
to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. (Section 9.1)
We may also modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:
•
reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
•
reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;
•
reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;
•
reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;
•
waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
•
make the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;
•
make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or
•
waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security. (Section 9.3)
Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. (Section 9.2) The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration. (Section 6.13)
Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances
Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon the irrevocable deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or U.S. government obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.
This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the
13
applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred. (Section 8.3)
Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:
•
we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants that may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and
•
any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series (“covenant defeasance”).
The conditions include:
•
depositing with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and
•
delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred. (Section 8.4)
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Securityholders
None of our past, present or future directors, officers, employees or securityholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our obligations under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws or Israeli law, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
Governing Law
The indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the securities, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
The indenture will provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture, the debt securities or the transactions contemplated thereby.
The indenture will provide that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon the indenture or the transactions contemplated thereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York, and we, the trustee and the holder of the debt securities (by their
14
acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The indenture will further provide that service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in the indenture will be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The indenture will further provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the courts specified above and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. (Section 10.10).
15
DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.
The following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and we will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.
If we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following, as applicable:
•
the title of the series of units;
•
identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units;
•
the price or prices at which the units will be issued;
•
the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable;
•
a discussion of certain Israel and United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and
•
any other terms of the units and their constituent securities.
16
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers. The securities may be distributed 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;
•
at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
•
at negotiated prices.
Each time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us.
Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.
If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.
Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.
Any ADS will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but any other securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering
17
may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, 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 so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, 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 stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.
This prospectus does not constitute a prospectus under the Israeli Securities Law, 1968, or the Israeli Securities Law, and has not been filed with or approved by the Israel Securities Authority. Except as may be otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, in the State of Israel, this document is being distributed only to, and is directed only at, and any offer of the securities is directed only at, investors listed in the first addendum to the Israeli Securities Law, or the Addendum, consisting primarily of joint investment in trust funds, provident funds, insurance companies, banks, portfolio managers, investment advisors, members of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, underwriters, venture capital funds, entities with equity in excess of NIS 50 million (“qualified entities”) and “qualified individuals,” each as defined in the Addendum (as it may be amended from time to time), collectively referred to as qualified investors (in each case purchasing for their own account or, where permitted under the Addendum, for the accounts of their clients who are investors of the types listed in the Addendum). Qualified investors will be required to submit written confirmation that they fall within the scope of the Addendum, are aware of the meaning of their being qualified investors and agree thereto. Qualified entities and qualified individuals may be required to provide documentation that the Company deems necessary to provide the Company a reasonable basis to assume that the investors meet the criteria of being qualified entities or qualified individuals.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated in Israel. Service of process upon us our directors and officers and the Israeli experts, if any, named in this prospectus, substantially all of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because the majority of our assets and investments, and substantially all of our directors, officers and such Israeli experts are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of them may be difficult to collect within the United States.
We have irrevocably appointed Itamar Medical, Inc. as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any U.S. federal or state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering. The address of our agent is 3290 Cumberland Club Drive, Atlanta GA 30339.
We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel that it may also be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws if they determine that Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, under the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws, as well as a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that the following key conditions are met:
subject to limited exceptions, the judgment is final and non-appealable;
•
the judgment was given by a court competent under the laws of the state of the court and is otherwise enforceable in such state;
•
the judgment was rendered by a court competent under the rules of private international law applicable in Israel;
•
the laws of the state in which the judgment was given provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;
•
adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to present his arguments and evidence;
•
the judgment and its enforcement are not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
•
the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; and
•
an action between the same parties in the same matter was not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit was instituted in the U.S. court.
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. Under existing Israeli law, a foreign judgment payable in foreign currency may be paid in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the payment. Current Israeli exchange control regulations also permit a judgment debtor to make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.
20
MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The material Israel and U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of any of the securities offered by this prospectus will be set forth in the prospectus supplement pertaining to those securities.
21
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the offered securities and certain other legal matters of Israeli law will be passed upon for us by Goldfarb Seligman & Co. Certain matters of U.S. federal law will be passed upon for us by Latham & Watkins LLP. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us, any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.

OUR COMPANY
Company Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of non-invasive medical devices and solutions to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory sleep disorders. We commercialize a digital healthcare platform to facilitate the continuum of care for effective sleep apnea management with a focus on the core sleep, cardiology markets. We offer a Total Sleep Solution, or TSS, to help physicians provide comprehensive sleep apnea management in a variety of clinical environments to optimize patient care and reduce healthcare system costs. Our key product, WatchPATTM, is commercially available in major markets including the United States, Japan, and Europe.
Sleep apnea is a chronic disease affecting 54 to 60 million people in the United States and almost one of every four adults over the age of 40 in the United States. Sleep is regarded as a major underlying risk factor and disease progression accelerator for most cardiovascular diseases as well as many cognitive and neurodegenerative diseases. Approximately 80% of adults in the United States that are suspected to be suffering from sleep apnea have never been diagnosed. In recent years, awareness of the importance of sleep and the devastating effects that could result from sleep apnea have risen across medical professionals and patients.
Our comprehensive TSS marketing program provides a complete, end-to-end solution that combines products and access to services designed to allow any physician that does not specialize in sleep an easy-to-use and accessible suite of products and services to aid in the diagnosis, transportation and handling, interpretation of the sleep study data, diagnosis, and access to third-party sleep apnea treatment device compliance data for patients that they suspect suffer from sleep apnea. We offer TSS primarily through our Test as a Service program that functions as a cost-per-test model.
Our key growth drivers are the core sleep and cardiology segments, as well as international expansion. The shift to remote home-based diagnosis and care, across healthcare systems, and particularly in the sleep apnea tests’ market, accelerated by the Covid-19 outbreak during 2020, is an underlying trend that, combined with our offer of a full digital health sleep apnea solution we believe, will continue to propel our key growth drivers in the short term, as well as penetration into the Direct to Consumer, or DTC market, in the long term, harnessing consumers demand for accessible solutions that bypass traditional physician referral systems.

In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “continue,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions.

We operate in an evolving environment. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of ADSs representing ordinary shares covered hereby. The selling shareholders will receive all of the proceeds from this offering.
We have agreed to pay certain costs, expenses and fees relating to the registration of our ordinary shares covered by this prospectus. The selling shareholders have agreed to pay any underwriting discounts and commissions or similar charges incurred for the sale of such ADSs.
4
CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS
Our capitalization will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus or in a report of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K subsequently furnished to the SEC and specifically incorporated herein by reference.
5
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the possible resale by certain of our shareholders, whom we refer to in this prospectus as the “selling shareholders,” from time to time of ADSs representing up to an aggregate of 39,300,000 ordinary shares, all of which were issued and outstanding prior to the original date of filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling shareholders are parties to a Share Purchase Agreement with us, dated August 26, 2015, in which we agreed, among other matters, to register for resale the ordinary shares that we issued to the selling shareholders in private placement transactions on November 5, 2015.
We do not know whether, when or in what amounts the selling shareholders may sell or otherwise dispose of the ordinary shares covered hereby. The selling shareholders might not sell or dispose of any or all of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus or may sell or dispose of some or all of such ordinary shares other than pursuant to this prospectus. Because the selling shareholders may not sell or otherwise dispose of ordinary shares covered by this prospectus and because, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus, we cannot estimate the number of ordinary shares that will be held by the selling shareholders after completion of the offering.
Information about the selling shareholders, where applicable, the amount of ordinary shares owned by each selling shareholder prior to the offering, the number of ADSs to be offered by each selling shareholder and the amount of ordinary shares to be owned by each selling shareholder after completion of the offering, will be set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, documents incorporated by reference or in a free writing prospectus we file with the SEC. The applicable prospectus supplement will also disclose whether any of the selling shareholders has held any position or office with, has been employed by or otherwise has had a material relationship with us during the three years prior to the date of the prospectus supplement.
The selling shareholders may not sell any ADSs pursuant to this prospectus until we have identified the number of ADSs being offered for resale by such selling shareholders in a subsequent prospectus supplement. However, the selling shareholders may sell or transfer all or a portion of their ordinary shares pursuant to any available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Our authorized share capital consists of 750,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share, of which 425,535,104 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
For a description of our ordinary shares and ADSs, including the rights and obligations attached thereto, please refer to Exhibit 2.6 to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein.
7
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and others who later come to hold some or all of the ADSs representing ordinary shares covered by this prospectus, may from time to time offer some or all of the ADSs. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
The selling shareholders have agreed to pay any underwriting discounts and commissions or similar charges incurred for the sale of ADSs. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of ADSs representing ordinary shares covered hereby.
The selling shareholders may sell ADSs representing ordinary shares covered by this prospectus from time to time, and may also decide not to sell all or any of the ADSs. The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of each sale. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. Sales may be made by the selling shareholders in one or more types of transactions, which may include:
•
purchases by underwriters, dealers and agents who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of the ADSs for whom they may act as agent;
•
one or more block transactions, including transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the ADSs as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;
•
ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which a broker solicits purchases;
•
purchases by a broker-dealer or market maker, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
•
the pledge of ADSs for any loan or obligation, including pledges to brokers or dealers who may from time to time effect distributions of ordinary shares;
•
short sales or transactions to cover short sales relating to the ADSs;
•
one or more exchanges or over-the-counter market transactions;
•
through distribution by a selling shareholder or its successor in interest to its members, general or limited partners or shareholders (or their respective members, general or limited partners or shareholders);
•
privately negotiated transactions;
•
the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
•
distributions to creditors and equity holders of the selling shareholders; and
•
any combination of the foregoing, or any other available means allowable under applicable law.
A selling shareholder may also resell all or a portion of its ordinary shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act provided it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144.
To the extent necessary, we may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, upon being notified by the selling shareholders that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, offering or a purchase by a broker or dealer. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the specific terms of the offering of securities, including:
•
the name of the shareholder and the participating broker-dealer;
•
the number of ADSs offered;
8
•
the price of such ADSs;
•
the proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of such ADSs;
•
the names of the underwriters or agents, if any;
•
any underwriting discounts, agency fees or other compensation to underwriters or agents; and
•
any discounts or concessions allowed or paid to dealers.
In connection with sales of ADSs representing ordinary shares covered hereby, the selling shareholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent and any other participating broker-dealer that executes sales for the selling shareholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Accordingly, any profits realized by the selling shareholders and any compensation earned by such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Because the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act, the selling shareholders must deliver this prospectus and any prospectus supplement in the manner required by the Securities Act. This prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied through the facilities of Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 153 under the Securities Act.
In addition, we or the selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents against or contribute to any payments the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with respect to, civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters, broker-dealers and agents and their affiliates are permitted to be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our affiliates or the selling shareholders or their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
The selling shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of Regulation M of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the ADSs by the selling shareholders. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the ADSs to engage in market-making activities with respect to the ordinary shares. These restrictions may affect the marketability of such ordinary shares.
In order to comply with applicable securities laws of some states, the ADSs may be sold in those jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the ADSs may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available. In addition, any ordinary shares of a selling shareholder covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold in open market transactions under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated in Israel. Service of process upon us our directors and officers and the Israeli experts, if any, named in this prospectus, substantially all of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because the majority of our assets and investments, and substantially all of our directors, officers and such Israeli experts are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of them may be difficult to collect within the United States.
We have irrevocably appointed Itamar Medical, Inc. as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any U.S. federal or state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering. The address of our agent is 3290 Cumberland Club Drive, Atlanta GA 30339.
We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel that it may also be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws if they determine that Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, under the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws, as well as a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that the following key conditions are met:
•
subject to limited exceptions, the judgment is final and non-appealable;
•
the judgment was given by a court competent under the laws of the state of the court and is otherwise enforceable in such state;
•
the judgment was rendered by a court competent under the rules of private international law applicable in Israel;
•
the laws of the state in which the judgment was given provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;
•
adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to present his arguments and evidence;
•
the judgment and its enforcement are not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
•
the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; and
•
an action between the same parties in the same matter was not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit was instituted in the U.S. court.
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. Under existing Israeli law, a foreign judgment payable in foreign currency may be paid in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the payment. Current Israeli exchange control regulations also permit a judgment debtor to make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.
11
MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The material Israel and U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of any of the securities offered by this prospectus will be set forth in the prospectus supplement pertaining to those securities.
12
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the offered securities and certain other legal matters of Israeli law will be passed upon for us by Goldfarb Seligman & Co. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us, any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.
