SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY | NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY A. The rights of ordinary shares are as follows: The ordinary shares confer upon the holders the right to receive notice to participate and vote in general meetings of shareholders of the Company, the right to receive dividends, if declared, and the right to participate in a distribution of the surplus of assets upon liquidation of the Company. Regarding Issuance of bonus shares see Note 2C above. B. Issuance of ordinary shares and warrants: (1) In August and November 2016, the Company raised gross proceeds of $1,960 (net proceeds, after deducting closing costs and fees) through private placements of its ordinary shares. The Company issued an aggregate of 1,465,992 ordinary shares at a price of $1.36 per share and three series of warrants (A, B and C) to purchase 3,135,572 ordinary shares. From January 10, 2018 through November 2, 2018, series A and C warrants were exercised into 1,639,000 ordinary shares for an aggregate of $7,158. The remaining series C warrants to purchase 17,732 ordinary shares expired on November 2, 2018. During May 2019, series B warrants to purchase 234,608 of the Company’s ordinary shares were exercised for an aggregate of $1,411 and series B warrants to purchase 1,281,456 ordinary shares expired on May 1, 2019.

The Company issued an aggregate of 951,676 ordinary shares at a price of $6.14 per share and two series of warrants (D and E) to purchase 951,676 ordinary shares.

(3) From February through May 2018, the Company raised gross proceeds of $2,511 (net) through private placements of its ordinary shares (the “2018 Private Placement”). The Company issued an aggregate of 184,844 ordinary shares. The investment transaction detailed in Note 8B (4) below, triggered anti-dilution rights that were included in the above mentioned private placement, and accordingly an additional 510,752 ordinary shares were issued to the investors in the 2018 Private Placement. (4) On March 19, 2019, the Company and Knorr-Bremse entered into an agreement whereby Knorr-Bremse invested $9,941 (after deducting closing costs and fees) in the Company in consideration of an issuance of an aggregate number of 1,803,296 ordinary shares of the Company at a price per share equal to $5.54. Knorr-Bremse were also issued warrants to purchase up to 655,732 of the Company’s ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $5.54 (the “KB Warrants”). The KB Warrants shall become exercisable (i) only upon an exercise of warrants of the respective class (i.e. series B warrants, series D warrants and series E warrants, as the case may be), and (ii) only for the number of additional ordinary shares in accordance with the formula of approximately 20% of the number of issued ordinary shares originating from the exercised KB warrants of the respective class, all as specified in the agreement. During March 2019 through May 2019, all of the KB warrants have been exercised or expired (see also Note 8B(1) – (2) above). (5) During April – June 2021, an aggregate of options to purchase 20,724 Ordinary Shares were exercised by former Company employees resulting in proceeds of $127. (6) During March 2022, options to purchase 1,672 Ordinary Shares were exercised by former Company employees resulting in proceeds of $10. (7) In January 2022, the Company entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) with its two main shareholders providing for financing in the aggregate amount of $1,000 (the “Investment Amount”) which was subsequently amended in March 2022. The SAFE provides for the conversion of the Investment Amount into the Company’s ordinary shares under certain circumstances including in particular in the case of an initial public offering such that immediately prior to the closing of an initial public offering the Investment Amount shall automatically convert into the number of shares and warrants equal to the Investment Amount divided by the initial public offering price. The warrants which shall be issued shall have the same terms as the warrants to be issued in the initial public offering except such warrants shall not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and shall not be tradeable. Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO on April 4, 2022 (see Note 8B(8) below) the Investment Amount was automatically converted to 242,131 ordinary shares and 242,131 warrants to purchase ordinary shares, with an exercise price of $4.13 per share, immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the date of issuance. (8) On April 4, 2022, the Company completed its IPO, in which the Company issued 3,787,241 units. Each unit includes one ordinary share and one warrant to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $4.13. The warrants are exercisable at any time up to five years after the IPO. Gross proceeds for the offering were approximately $15,647 (including exercise of over-allotment options as described below) and net proceeds of approximately $13,587 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company granted Aegis Capital Corp, the underwriter (“Aegis”), a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase additional ordinary shares and/or warrants to purchase additional ordinary shares up to 15% of the number of ordinary shares and warrants, respectively, sold in the IPO solely to cover over-allotments, if any. On April 4, 2022, Aegis partially exercised its over-allotment option with respect to 568,086 warrants to purchase ordinary shares. C. Equity Incentive Plan: In January 2017, the Board authorized an incentive share option plan which was amended on March 21, 2022, and on September 13,2022 (“2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive share options to employees and service providers of the Company. Awards may be granted under the 2017 Plan until January 31, 2027. According to the 2017 Plan, the aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued pursuant to awards will not exceed 2,332,352 ordinary shares. D. Shares and options to service providers: The fair value for the options to service providers was estimated on their grant date determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions: weighted average volatility of 70%, risk free interest rates of 1.4%, dividend yields of 0% and a weighted average life of the options of up to 5 years. (1) As part of the Railway Agreement entered into on August 3, 2016, which was amended on January 19, 2020, and on July 1, 2021, the Company issued options to purchase up to 195,448 ordinary shares of the Company, with an exercise price of NIS 0.01 (approximately $0.003) per share. The options were exercisable on each issuance date and recorded as deferred expenses which are amortized over 5 years beginning August 2016. In respect of such option issuance an amount of $196, $331, were recorded in the Company’s statements of comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively included in research and development expenses and no expenses were recorded in the year ended December 31, 2022 According to amendments to the option agreement the warrants will expire at the earlier of the following: (1) the passing of five business days following Israel Railways’ receipt of a government approval; or (2) June 30, 2023. On January 25, 2023, Israel Railways notified the Company that it exercises its option and accordingly the Company issued 195,448 ordinary shares to Israel Railways. (2) On January 4, 2018, the Company granted to three consulting service providers options to purchase 98,120 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $6.1393 per share.
