Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and Annual Meeting of Shareholders In March 2022, our board of directors approved the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which increased the number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under such equity incentive plan to 15% of our outstanding ordinary shares on a fully-diluted basis, or 1,826,991,616 ordinary shares, represented by 365,398 ADSs as of March 31, 2022. The board of directors further approved the award of options to our officers and directors to purchase, in the aggregate, 316,571 ADSs under the Amended Plan, and annual discretionary bonuses for officers of $472,500 in aggregate. We held our Annual General Meeting on April 12, 2022, at which our shareholders approved, among other items, the following: ● The increase in authorized share capital from 12.5 billion to 50 billion ordinary shares. ● Modification of the annual compensation of the two founders to a combined base salary of $990,000 and to increase the annual discretionary bonus to not less than 45% of the annual base salary. ● Repayment of amounts due to the two founders at a rate of $25,000 each per month. ● The grant of an option to purchase up to 85,714 ADSs to each of the two founders under the Amended Plan, at an exercise price per ADS of $17.50 , to vest over a four-year period. ● The grant of an option to purchase 12,857 ADSs to each of the five non-employee director under the Amended Plan at an exercise price per ADS of $17.50 , to vest over a three-year period, and (as an annual grant for 2022) an option to an officer to purchase 71,429 ADSs at an exercise price per ADS of $17.50 , to vest over a four-year period. ADS Ratio Change On July 12, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the change in the ratio of ADS evidencing ordinary shares from 1 ADS representing four hundred (400) ordinary shares to 1 ADS representing five thousand (5,000) ordinary shares, which will result in a one for 12.5 reverse split of the issued and outstanding ADSs (the “Ratio Change”). The Ratio Change was effective August 1, 2022. All ADS and related option and warrant information presented in these financial statements and accompanying footnotes has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of ADSs resulting from the Ratio Change. Nasdaq Listing On April 22, 2022, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we are no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Rule 5550(b)(1) requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million. In addition, as of April 21, 2022, we did not meet the alternative continued listing requirements based on market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. In accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(2)(A), within 45 calendar days of receiving this notice, we submitted a plan to regain compliance to Nasdaq. This plan was accepted, and Nasdaq has granted us an extension until October 19, 2022 to evidence compliance. On June 10, 2022, we received a letter from The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff notifying us that the closing bid price per ADS was below the required minimum of $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that we did not meet the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until December 7, 2022 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price per ADS is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide us a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event we do not regain compliance by December 7, 2022, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held ADSs and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. Although there is no assurance, we expect that the offering that is being registered on the registration statement on Form F-1, which includes these financial statements and accompanying notes, will enable us to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement and the Ratio Change will help us to regain compliance with the minimum bid-price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Although Nasdaq notification letters described above have no immediate effect on our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are working on implementing plans to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement or minimum bid-price requirement for continued listing. If our ADSs are delisted from Nasdaq, it will have material negative impacts on the actual and potential liquidity of our securities, as well as material negative impacts on our ability to raise future capital.
