The use of the words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will” and “would,” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. 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. You should read this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, including the documents that we have filed as exhibits thereto, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

 

The statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement regarding the following matters are forward-looking by their nature:

 

Our projection of revenue and other operating results;

 

Our expectation that we will be engaging with Tier 1 automotive suppliers and OEMs which would be building the radars based on our chipset solution, eliminating expenses associated with system completion, requirement for undertaking significant capital expenditures associated with developing mass production manufacturing and the expenses of operating any such manufacturing capability;

 

  Our belief that by we will meet the release conditions which will result in the release from escrow of the proceeds from the sale of the debentures by March 31, 2025, the date by which the conditions must be satisfied in order for the proceeds held in escrow to be released to us and that we will comply with the financial and other covenants set forth in the deed of trust dated May 30, 2024, by and between us and Mishmeret Trust Company Ltd., as trustee;
     
  Our expectation that radars are crucial to the automotive industry and will be deployed in nearly all new vehicles as a long range, cost-effective sensor with the fewest environmental limitations;
     
  Our belief that our radar chipset heralds a breakthrough in radar technology that will enable Tier 1 manufacturers and OEMs to replace the current radars with an advanced solution that meets the safety requirements of Euro New Car Assessment Program (“Euro-NCAP”) and the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) for autonomous vehicles at all levels of autonomous driving;
     
  Our belief that a fully autonomous vehicle is seen as a potential solution for reducing the number of traffic accidents (due to the elimination of the “human element” from the equation), and as an incentive to create innovative autonomous vehicle-sharing services that will lead to the public foregoing the purchase of private vehicles, to reduce the problem of traffic congestion, and to significantly reduce fuel consumption and air pollution;

 

  Our belief that automakers will choose to integrate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS L2+/L3) based on several technologies simultaneously (imaging radar, camera and optionally LiDAR), and that it is likely that this trend of integrating technologies into vehicles will continue in the coming years;
     
  Our belief that our 4D imaging radar technology holds significant advantages for a fusion with camera over alternative technologies such as LiDAR laser systems and over current-generation radar technologies that are on the market presently or have been announced for development;

 

S-iii

 

 

  Our belief that our ground-breaking technology that contains an advanced processor, consumes relatively low amounts of energy and can scan a vehicle’s environment at an exceptionally high resolution in real-time, and identify objects and distinguish between them with great long-range accuracy and a wide field of view, differentiates us and will enable us to successfully compete and develop and maintain a leadership position in its target markets;
     
  Our expectation that our marketing strategy, primarily targeted at Tier 1 manufacturers, will foster cooperation with Tier 1 suppliers to integrate our radar chipsets into their radar systems to be sold to OEMs and that the Tier 1 suppliers that use our radar chipsets will be successful in marketing the systems to automakers;

 

  Our belief that our engagement of Global Foundries for the manufacturing and supply chain management will provide us with a secure path in production for quality control and reliability for automotive requirements;
     
  Our belief that as automakers seek to develop hands off/eyes off driving, imaging radar will become a critical ingredient and that our radar chipset will meet this need;
     
  Our belief that certain operational or registration requirements for some autonomous functions will be removed as state regulators gain better experience with the technology;
     
  Our expectation that awareness among automakers and vehicle owners of the importance and benefits of installing ADAS and partial autonomous driving L2+/L3 (even in the absence of binding regulation) has increased, and that it is likely that in the future, the vast majority of new vehicles will be equipped with these systems;
     
  Our belief that our radar chipset solution will make it possible to enable the launch of an autonomous vehicle and will be the primary sensor for autonomous driving in the retail market in tandem with a camera;
     
  Our belief that our existing infrastructure positions us to capitalize on regulatory changes pertaining to required installation of traffic accident prevention systems in general, and radar systems in particular, which is expected to increase the demand for the technology and products that we are developing;
     
  Our belief that an increased demand for autonomous vehicles and the transition to mass production of Level 2+ and higher autonomous vehicles, requiring advanced systems for automatically integrating vehicles in traffic and preventing traffic accidents, is expected to increase the demand for products in our field of activity in the time frame we anticipate; and
     
  Our belief that a requirement on the part of insurance companies to install radar systems as a condition for issuing insurance policies is expected to increase the demand for our products.

 

The preceding list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future performance, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are based upon our current expectations about future events, and our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Market, ranking and industry data used throughout this prospectus supplement, including statements regarding market size and technology adoption rates, is based on the good faith estimates of our management, which in turn are based upon our management’s review of internal surveys, independent industry surveys and publications regarding third party research and publicly available information.

Important risks and factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations are generally set forth in (i) Item 3.D “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F/A for the year ended December 31, 2023 (as amended, the “2023 Annual Report”); (ii) Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our 2023 Annual Report, and (iii) other sections included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. You should thoroughly read this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

  

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in our Company. You should carefully read this entire prospectus supplement, including all documents incorporated by reference herein. In particular, attention should be directed to our “Risk Factors” section contained in this prospectus supplement, and the financial statements and related notes thereto contained herein or otherwise incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment decision.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a provider of 4D imaging radar solutions, and we are leading a radar revolution, enabling safe driver-assist systems today while paving the way for fully autonomous driving in the future. We are a Tier 2 supplier, empowering Tier-1 companies, which are companies that supply parts or systems directly to OEMs (car manufacturers), autonomous ground vehicles, commercial and industrial vehicles, and a wide array of safety applications with next-generation sensing based on our proprietary chipset and perception algorithms. While the role of automotive radars in the traditional perception paradigm was limited to “legacy ADAS features,” such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), the introduction of our imaging radar with its a high channel count delivers an order of magnitude better native resolution than existing radar solutions profoundly changes this paradigm, making the radar a key player in the overall driving solution including hands-free and eyes-off features. We believe that our imaging radar is essential for Level 2+ and higher levels of autonomy.

 

We provide long-range high resolution in 4D - the distance, the angular measurement of objects, both horizontally and vertically, and their relative speed. This is designed to enable the vehicle to determine the exact location and shape of objects. For example, it could determine whether a stationary object in front of a vehicle is a manhole cover you can drive over or a guardrail you need to avoid. Our 4D imaging radar is the world’s first radar to separate, track, and identify objects in any weather or lighting condition in 2K pixels, ultra-high resolution in both azimuth and elevation, delivering an image that we believe is 100 times more detailed than any commercial radar on the market. We achieve this capability with our proprietary radio frequency chipset with the highest channel count in the industry, and a groundbreaking radar processor chip, the first dedicated processor designed specifically for the performance and power saving requirements of the automotive industry.

 

Through our state-of-the-art analysis of the vehicle’s surroundings, we believe that our cutting-edge radar chipset incorporates the first radar technology detailed enough to enhance the OEM’s perception algorithms, elevating L2+ and higher applications from nice-to-have comfort solutions to must-have safety features. The data captured by our perception radar, based on our chipset technology, has the fidelity, richness and resolution to leverage artificial intelligence to identify, classify and track objects in 360° to create a full free space map around the vehicle, as well as an analysis of the evolving hazards sensed by the radars.

 

For more information on our business, see Item 4 “Information on the Company” in our 2023 Annual Report.

 

Our Organization

 

We are an Israeli corporation founded on November 4, 2015. The mailing address for our principal executive office is 10 HaHashmonaim St 107, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel 6713313. Our telephone number is +972-73-7969804, ext. 200. Our website is https://arberobotics.com/. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website or any other website is expressly not incorporated by reference into and is not a part of this prospectus supplement.

 

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act. As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies. In addition, the Nasdaq listing rules provide that a foreign private issuer may follow the practices of its home country, which for us is Israel, rather than the Nasdaq rules as to certain corporate governance requirements. Currently, we do not plan to rely on the home company exemption except with respect to the quorum requirement for shareholder meetings and with respect to the Nasdaq requirement of obtaining stockholder approval for certain issuances of more than 20% of our ordinary shares. The quorum required for an ordinary meeting of shareholders consist of at least two shareholders who hold at least 25% of the voting power of our shares. Israeli law has no requirement for obtaining shareholder approval for the issuance of equity securities and, accordingly, our board has the authority to issue ordinary shares without obtaining shareholder approval under circumstances where shareholder approval would be required under the Nasdaq corporate governance regulations.

As a company with less than US$1.235 billion in revenue for the last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies.

 

For information relating to our status as a foreign private issuer and an emerging growth company see the captions “Our Status as a Foreign Private Issuer under the Exchange Act” and “Our Status as an Emerging Grown Company” in Item 4 “Information on the Company” in our 2023 Annual Report.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors we describe in this prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you or in any report incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, including our 2023 Annual Report, or any future Annual Report or other period report that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement after the date of this prospectus supplement. Although we discuss key risks in those risk factor descriptions, additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business. Our subsequent filings with the SEC may contain amended and updated discussions of significant risks. We cannot predict future risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could harm our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be harmed. This could cause the trading price of our ordinary shares to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section above titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

We will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from this offering, and we may use the proceeds in ways with which you disagree.

 

We have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds from this offering for any specific purpose.  Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of this offering.  You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used effectively.  Our management might not apply the net proceeds in ways that ultimately increase or maintain the value of your investment. 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 our stock price to decline.  The failure of our management to use the net proceeds from this offering effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

 

If you purchase ordinary shares, Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your ordinary shares.

 

Since the price per ordinary share being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our ordinary shares, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the ordinary shares you purchase in this offering. Based on an offering price of $           per share, if you purchase ordinary shares or Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering, and the accompanying Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants in each case, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $            per share with respect to the net tangible book value of the ordinary shares. The exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants may result in further dilution of your investment. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.

  

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

In order to raise additional capital in the future, we expect to offer additional ordinary shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell ordinary shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per ordinary share that is equal to or greater than the price per ordinary share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing ordinary shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per ordinary share at which we sell additional ordinary shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ordinary shares in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per ordinary share in this offering.

  

S-3

 

 

There is no public market for the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants or the Tranche B Warrants being offered by us in this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants or the Tranche B Warrants being sold in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants or the Tranche B Warrants on any securities exchange or recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants or the Tranche B Warrants will be limited.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants or the Tranche B Warrants are speculative in nature. You may not be able to recover your investment in the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants or the Tranche B Warrants, and the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants or the Tranche B Warrants may expire worthless.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants or the Tranche B Warrants do not confer any rights of ordinary share ownership on their holders, such as voting rights, but rather merely represent the right to acquire ordinary shares at a fixed price for a limited period of time. The Tranche A Warrants will be exercisable immediately, in whole or in part, and will expire on [●], 2029. The Tranche B Warrants will be exercisable immediately, in whole or in part, and will expire on the earlier of (A) twenty (20) trading days after the occurrence of the Triggering Event and (B) [●], 2027. Accordingly, the period the Warrants will be outstanding and exercisable could be shorter than expected, after which any unexercised Warrants will have no further value.

 

Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the Warrants, if any, is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Warrants will equal or exceed their offering price. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our ordinary shares will equal or exceed the exercise price of the Warrants for a sustained period of time or at all, and, consequently, it may not ever be profitable for holders of the Warrants to exercise them.

 

We may not receive any additional funds upon the exercise of the Warrants.

 

The Warrants may be exercised by way of a cashless exercise, meaning that the holder may not pay a cash purchase price upon exercise, but instead would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of our common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the applicable Warrants. Accordingly, we may not receive any additional funds upon the exercise of the Warrants.

 

Holders of the Warrants will have no rights as ordinary shareholders until they acquire our ordinary shares.

 

Until you acquire our ordinary shares upon exercise of the Warrants, you will have no rights with respect to our ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, including the right to vote. Upon exercise of your Warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of an ordinary shareholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

S-4

 

 

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends on our ordinary shares which may adversely impact the market price of our shares.

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares and do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the near future. Our current policy is to retain all funds and any earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. If we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable to you because a return on your investment will only occur if our share price appreciates.

  

Sales of a significant number of ordinary shares in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our ordinary shares.

 

Sales of a significant number of ordinary shares or other equity-related securities in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur as a result of our utilization of a universal shelf registration statement, our at-the-market offering, sales by our affiliates, or otherwise could depress the market price of our ordinary shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We may sell large quantities of our ordinary shares at any time pursuant to this prospectus supplement or in one or more separate offerings. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our ordinary shares or other equity-related securities, or the market perception that we are permitted to make such sales, would have on the market price of our ordinary shares.

 

The market price of our securities may be volatile, subject to wide fluctuations, and you may not be able to resell our securities at or above the price you paid.

 

The market price of our ordinary shares is volatile and fluctuations in the price of our ordinary shares could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. The market price of our ordinary shares could continue to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our ordinary shares and our ordinary shares may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. Due to such factors, the trading price of our ordinary shares may not recover and may experience a further decline. Such factors include but are not limited to:

 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual financial results or the quarterly or annual financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;

 

changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;

 

success of competitors;

 

our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

 

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the automotive industry in general;

 

operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;

 

our ability to develop and market our products;

 

the market’s perception as to our ability to develop and maintain any perceived technological advantage we may have;

 

actions by social media users to seek to increase activity in our securities;

 

changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

 

S-5

 

 

our ability to meet compliance requirements, including compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements;

 

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us or the automotive industry in general;

 

changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

 

the volume of our ordinary shares available for public sale;

 

changes in trading patterns resulting from social media action not related to the results of our business;

 

any major change in our board or management;

 

sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares by our directors, executive officers or significant shareholders or the perception that such sales could occur;

 

general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism; and

 

all of the risks described in these Risk Factors.

 

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. Global stock markets in general, and Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, are not predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our share price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

 

The dual listing of our ordinary shares may adversely affect the liquidity and value of our ordinary shares.

 

Our ordinary shares trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. We cannot predict the effect of this dual listing on the value of our ordinary shares, including the extent to which an active market for our ordinary shares in the United State or Israel will be sustained. However, the dual listing of our ordinary shares may dilute trading liquidity in one or both markets and may adversely affect the further development of an active trading market for our ordinary shares in the United States.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that our net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $             million, based upon the offering price of $             per ordinary share unit and $             per Pre-Funded Warrant unit (which equals the offering price of the ordinary share unit less the $0.001 per share exercise price of each such Pre-Funded Warrant) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the Warrants are exercised in full for cash, the estimated net proceeds will increase to $             .

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes and working capital. Pending use of the net proceeds, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing, investment-grade securities or in cash or money market funds. This expected use of proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and prevailing business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and prevailing business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our use of proceeds will vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated by our operations. As a result, we will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds in this offering.

 

S-6

 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and expansion of our business and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, investors in our ordinary shares will benefit in the foreseeable future only if our ordinary shares appreciate in value. Any future determination to pay dividends on our ordinary shares would be at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and would depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

 

The distribution of dividends may also be limited by the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999, which, unless otherwise approved by a court under limited circumstances set forth under applicable law, permits the distribution of dividends only out of retained earnings or earnings derived over the two most recent fiscal years, according to our then last reviewed or audited financial statements (less the amount of previously distributed dividends, if not reduced from the earnings) provided that the date of the financial statements is not more than six months prior to the date of distribution, whichever is higher. We are also only permitted to distribute a dividend if our board of directors or the court, as applicable, determines that there is no reasonable concern that payment of a dividend will prevent a company from satisfying its existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due.

CAPITALIZATION

 

The following table sets for our capitalization as of June 30, 2024:

 

on an actual basis; and

 

on an as adjusted basis to give effect to our sale in this offering of              ordinary shares,               Pre-Funded Warrants,              Tranche A Warrants, and              Tranche B Warrants at an offering price of $              per unit, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

Selected Balance Sheet Information (dollars in thousands). 

 

   June 30, 2024 
   Actual   Pro Forma 
Current assets  $59,996             
Working capital   24,301             
Accumulated deficit   (228,191)            
Shareholders’ equity   25,511             

 

The above table is based on 80,773,225 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024. The number of shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024, as used throughout this prospectus supplement, unless otherwise indicated, excludes:

 

  4,877,674 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of June 30, 2024 under our 2016 Share Incentive Plan and 2021 Share Incentive Plan at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.67 per share;

 

  5,080,971 ordinary shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2024; and

  

  765,791 ordinary shares reserved for future issuance under our 2016 Share Incentive Plan and 2021 Share Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2024.

 

S-7

 

 

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all information contained in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise or conversion of the options or warrants or vesting of RSUs.

 

To the extent that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, RSUs vest, or new options or RSUs are issued under our share-based compensation plans, investors purchasing our ordinary shares in this offering will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our securities in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the price per ordinary share that you pay in this offering and the adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share of our ordinary shares immediately after this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value on June 30, 2024, was approximately $25.5 million, or $0.32 per ordinary share. “Net tangible book value” represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets, less the amount of our total consolidated liabilities. “Net tangible book value per ordinary share” is net tangible book value divided by the total number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

 

After giving effect to the sale of             ordinary shares in this offering at an offering price of $             per share, assuming no Pre-Funded Warrants are sold in the offering and no exercise of the Warrants, and after deducting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024, would have been approximately $             million, or $             per ordinary share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $             per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $             per share to new investors participating in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution per share to investors participating in this offering:

 

Public offering price per ordinary share and accompanying Warrants           $           
Net tangible book value per ordinary share as of June 30, 2024   $ 0.32          
Increase in net tangible book value per ordinary share attributable to this offering                         
As adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share after giving effect to this offering                         
Dilution per ordinary share to new investors participating in this offering           $             

 

The above table is based on 80,773,225 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024. The number of shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024, as used throughout this prospectus supplement, unless otherwise indicated, excludes:

  

  4,877,674 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of June 30, 2024 under our 2016 Share Incentive Plan and 2021 Share Incentive Plan at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.67 per share;

 

  5,080,971 ordinary shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2024; and

  

  765,791 ordinary shares reserved for future issuance under our 2016 Share Incentive Plan and 2021 Share Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2024.

 

S-8

 

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all information contained in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise or conversion of the options or warrants or vesting of RSUs.

 

To the extent that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, RSUs vest, or new options or RSUs are issued under our share-based compensation plans, investors purchasing our ordinary shares in this offering will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

 

In this offering, we are offering our ordinary shares, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase our ordinary shares, Warrants to purchase our ordinary shares, and the ordinary shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants. No fractional warrants will be issued.

Pre-Funded Warrants

 

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrants that are being offered hereby. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the form of Pre-Funded Warrant, which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 6-K in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of the Pre-Funded Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Pre-Funded Warrant.

 

Duration and Exercise Price

 

Each Pre-Funded Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per ordinary share equal to $0.0001. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire when exercised in full. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our ordinary shares and the exercise price. Subject to the rules and regulations of the applicable trading market, we may at any time during the term of the Pre-Funded Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the holders, reduce the then current exercise price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by our board of directors.

 

S-9

 

 

Exercisability

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of ordinary shares purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding ordinary shares immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding shares after exercising the holder’s Pre-Funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Purchasers of Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering may also elect prior to issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding ordinary shares.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of ordinary shares determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional ordinary shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Rather, at the Company’s election, the number of ordinary shares to be issued will be rounded up to the next whole share or the Company will pay a cash adjustment in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, a Pre-Funded Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Pre-Funded Warrants to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Trading Market

 

There is no trading market available for the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, and we do not expect a trading market to develop. We do not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or national recognized trading market. Without a trading market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be extremely limited. The ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants are currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

 

Right as a Shareholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-Funded Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of ordinary shares, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our ordinary shares, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants. The Pre-Funded Warrants will provide that the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our ordinary shares.

 

Fundamental Transaction

 

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Pre-Funded Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our ordinary shares, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding ordinary shares, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding ordinary shares, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction on a net exercise basis.

 

Waivers and Amendments

 

The Pre-Funded Warrant may be modified or amended, or the provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrant waived with our and the holder’s written consent.

Tranche A Warrants

 

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the Tranche A Warrants that are being offered hereby. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the form of Tranche A Warrant, which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 6-K in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of the Tranche A Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Tranche A Warrant.

 

Duration and Exercise Price

 

Each Tranche A Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per ordinary share equal to $2.35. The Tranche A Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on [●], 2029. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our ordinary shares and the exercise price. Subject to the rules and regulations of the applicable trading market, we may at any time during the term of the Tranche A Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the holders, reduce the then current exercise price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by our board of directors.

 

Exercisability

 

The Tranche A Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of ordinary shares purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Tranche A Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding ordinary shares immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding shares after exercising the holder’s Tranche A Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Tranche A Warrants. Purchasers of Tranche A Warrants in this offering may also elect prior to issuance of the Tranche A Warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding ordinary shares.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

If, at the time a holder exercises its Tranche A Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the ordinary shares underlying the Tranche A Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of ordinary shares determined according to a formula set forth in the Tranche A warrant.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional ordinary shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Tranche A Warrants. Rather, at the Company’s election, the number of ordinary shares to be issued will be rounded up to the next whole share or the Company will pay a cash adjustment in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, a Tranche A Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Tranche A Warrants to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

 

S-11

 

 

Trading Market

 

There is no trading market available for the Tranche A Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, and we do not expect a trading market to develop. We do not intend to list the Tranche A Warrants on any securities exchange or national recognized trading market. Without a trading market, the liquidity of the Tranche A Warrants will be extremely limited. The ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Tranche A Warrants are currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

 

Right as a Shareholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Tranche A Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of ordinary shares, the holders of the Tranche A Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our ordinary shares, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Tranche A Warrants. The Tranche A Warrants will provide that the holders of the Tranche A Warrants have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our ordinary shares.

 

Fundamental Transaction

 

In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the Tranche A Warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our ordinary shares, then upon any subsequent exercise of a Tranche A Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each ordinary share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of ordinary shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of ordinary shares for which the Tranche A Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a fundamental transaction, the holders of the Tranche A Warrants have the right to require us or a successor entity to redeem the Tranche A Warrants for cash in the amount of the Black-Scholes Value (as defined in each Tranche A Warrant) of the unexercised portion of the Tranche A Warrants concurrently with or within 30 days following the consummation of a fundamental transaction; provided, that if we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummate a transaction (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 100% of our outstanding ordinary shares or 100% of the voting power of our common equity (a “Going Private Transaction”) then, we may, but are not required to, purchase the Tranche A Warrant from the holder by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Tranche A Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Going Private Transaction.

 

However, in the event of a fundamental transaction which is not in our control, including a fundamental transaction not approved by our board of directors, the holders of the Tranche A Warrants will only be entitled to receive from us or our successor entity, as of the date of consummation of such fundamental transaction the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the Tranche A Warrant that is being offered and paid to the holders of our ordinary shares in connection with the fundamental transaction, whether that consideration is in the form of cash, stock or any combination of cash and stock, or whether the holders of our ordinary shares are given the choice to receive alternative forms of consideration in connection with the fundamental transaction. If the holders of our ordinary shares are not offered or paid any consideration in such fundamental transaction, then such holders will be deemed to have received ordinary shares.

 

Waivers and Amendments

 

The Tranche A Warrants may be modified or amended, or the provisions of the Tranche A Warrants waived with our and the holder’s written consent.

 

Tranche B Warrants

 

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the Tranche B Warrants that are being offered hereby. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the form of Tranche B Warrant, which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 6-K in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of the Tranche B Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Tranche B Warrant.

 

Duration and Exercise Price

 

Each Tranche B Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per ordinary share equal to $           . At the election of the holder, in lieu of receiving ordinary shares upon the exercise of a Tranche B Warrant, can choose to receive pre-funded warrants having the same terms as the Pre-Funded Warrants, in which event the exercise price of the Tranche B Warrant will be reduced by the per-share exercise price of the pre-funded warrant.

The Tranche B Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the earlier to occur of (A) twenty (20) trading days after (i) we shall have publicly announced that we have entered into a definitive supply agreement with a named European automotive original equipment manufacturer pursuant to which such manufacturer has agreed to purchase products (and not services) from the Company having an aggregate sales price of at least $[●] million over the term of such agreement (the “Definitive Agreement Announcement”), (ii) the VWAP (as defined in the Tranche B Warrant) for each trading day in any period of ten (10) consecutive trading days within one calendar year of the date of the Definitive Agreement Announcement (such ten-day period, the “Measurement Period,” and such one-year period, the “Definitive Agreement Announcement Period”) is equal to or exceeds $2.25 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like after [●], 2024), (iii) the trading volume of the ordinary shares (as reported by Bloomberg L.P.) on each trading day of the Measurement Period is at least 250,000 ordinary shares (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like after [●], 2024), and (iv) the ordinary shares underlying ordinary shares and any ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of any pre-funded warrants issued upon the exercise of a Tranche B Warrant (collectively, the “Saleable Shares”) are then covered by an effective registration statement and a current prospectus which can be used for the sale or other disposition of the Saleable Shares and we have no reason to believe that such registration statement and prospectus will not continue to be available for the Saleable Shares for the next thirty (30) trading days ((i) – (iv) collectively, the “Triggering Event,” and such twenty trading day period, the “Triggering Event Period”), and (B) [●], 2027.

 

The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our ordinary shares and the exercise price. Subject to the rules and regulations of the applicable trading market, we may at any time during the term of the Tranche B Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the holders, reduce the then current exercise price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by our board of directors.

 

Exercisability

 

The Tranche B Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of ordinary shares purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Tranche B Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding ordinary shares immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding shares after exercising the holder’s Tranche B Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Tranche B Warrants. Purchasers of Tranche B Warrants in this offering may also elect prior to issuance of the Tranche B Warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding ordinary shares.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

If, at the time a holder exercises its Tranche B Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the ordinary shares underlying the Tranche B Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of ordinary shares determined according to a formula set forth in the Tranche B Warrant.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional ordinary shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Tranche B Warrants. Rather, at the Company’s election, the number of ordinary shares to be issued will be rounded up to the next whole share or the Company will pay a cash adjustment in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, a Tranche B Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Tranche B Warrants to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

No Shorting

 

During the Triggering Event Period and the Definitive Agreement Announcement Period, a holder of a Tranche B Warrant, to the extent the Tranche B Warrant remains unexercised in whole or in part, will not be permitted to, directly or indirectly or through an affiliate, enter into or effect any “short sale” of our ordinary shares or other hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to our ordinary shares.

 

S-13

 

 

Trading Market

 

There is no trading market available for the Tranche B Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, and we do not expect a trading market to develop. We do not intend to list the Tranche B Warrants on any securities exchange or national recognized trading market. Without a trading market, the liquidity of the Tranche B Warrants will be extremely limited. The ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Tranche B Warrants are currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

 

Right as a Shareholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Tranche B Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of ordinary shares, the holders of the Tranche B Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our ordinary shares, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Tranche B Warrants. The Tranche B Warrants will provide that the holders of the Tranche B Warrants have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our ordinary shares.

 

Fundamental Transaction

 

In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the Tranche B Warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our ordinary shares, then upon any subsequent exercise of a Tranche B Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each ordinary share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of ordinary shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of ordinary shares for which the Tranche B Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a fundamental transaction, the holders of the Tranche B Warrants have the right to require us or a successor entity to redeem the Tranche B Warrants for cash in the amount of the Black-Scholes Value (as defined in each Tranche B Warrant) of the unexercised portion of the Tranche B Warrants concurrently with or within 30 days following the consummation of a fundamental transaction; provided, that if we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummate a transaction (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 100% of our outstanding ordinary shares or 100% of the voting power of our common equity (a “Going Private Transaction”) then, we may, but are not required to, purchase the Tranche B Warrant from the holder by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Tranche B Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Going Private Transaction.

 

However, in the event of a fundamental transaction which is not in our control, including a fundamental transaction not approved by our board of directors, the holders of the Tranche B Warrants will only be entitled to receive from us or our successor entity, as of the date of consummation of such fundamental transaction the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the Tranche B Warrant that is being offered and paid to the holders of our ordinary shares in connection with the fundamental transaction, whether that consideration is in the form of cash, stock or any combination of cash and stock, or whether the holders of our ordinary shares are given the choice to receive alternative forms of consideration in connection with the fundamental transaction. If the holders of our ordinary shares are not offered or paid any consideration in such fundamental transaction, then such holders will be deemed to have received ordinary shares.

 

Waivers and Amendments

 

The Tranche B Warrants may be modified or amended, or the provisions of the Tranche B Warrants waived with our and the holder’s written consent.

UNDERWRITING

 

Under the terms and subject to the conditions in an underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus supplement, the underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to the underwriter ordinary shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants.

The underwriter is obligated to take and pay for all of the ordinary shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants offered by this prospectus supplement if any such securities are taken.

 

The underwriter initially proposes to offer the ordinary shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants directly to the public at the combined offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and part to certain dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $     per ordinary share and related warrants under the public offering price. After the initial offering, the combined offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the underwriter.

 

The following table shows the combined offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions, and proceeds before expenses to us.

The estimated offering expenses payable by us, exclusive of the underwriting discounts and commissions, are approximately $            . We have agreed to reimburse the underwriter for certain expenses, including any relating to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. matters, the qualification of the shares issued in this offering under state securities laws, and fees and expenses of counsel for the underwriter, in an amount up to $125,000 in the aggregate.

 

Upon any exercise of the Tranche A Warrants and the Tranche B Warrants issued in this offering, we have agreed to pay the representative a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received upon the exercise of the Tranche A Warrants and the Tranche B Warrants in accordance with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 5110(g)(10).

 

Our ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbols “ARBE” and “ARBEW”, respectively. Our ordinary shares are also listed on the TASE under the symbol “ARBE.” The Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants and the Tranche B Warrants will not be listed on any national securities exchange. There is no public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants and the Tranche B Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants and the Tranche B Warrants on any securities exchange or other trading system. Without a trading market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Tranche A Warrants and the Tranche B Warrants will be extremely limited.

 

We and all of our directors and executive officers (the “lock-up parties”) have agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior written consent of Canaccord Genuity LLC, we and they will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, as applicable, during the period ending 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement (the “restricted period”):

 

offer, 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 to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any ordinary shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for ordinary shares (the “restricted securities”) or file any registration statement with the SEC relating to any of the foregoing; or

 

S-15

 

 

enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the restricted shares whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of ordinary shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

 

The restrictions described in the immediately preceding paragraph do not apply with respect to:

 

transfers as a bona fide gift or gifts;

 

transfers to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the lock-up party or the lock-up party’s immediate family member;

 

transfers to (a) the members of the lock-up party’s immediate family, (b) if the lock-up party is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity, its partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in the lock-up party by way of distribution upon the liquidation and dissolution of the lock-up party or (c) any affiliate of the lock-up party;

 

transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a settlement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union;

 

transfers by will or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary, or the lock-up party’s immediate family member upon death of the lock-up party;

 

exercises of an option to purchase ordinary shares granted under any of our stock incentive plans described in this prospectus supplement, provided that the underlying ordinary shares shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the lock-up agreement and if the lock-up party is required to file a report under Section 16 of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of ordinary shares during the restricted period, the lock-up party shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto the nature and conditions of such exercise or transfer and no other filing or public announcement shall be made voluntarily during the restricted period in connection with such exercise or transfer;

 

establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of ordinary shares, provided that, such plan does not provide for any transfers of our ordinary shares, and no filing with the SEC or other public announcement shall be required or voluntarily made by the lock-up party or any other person in connection therewith, in each case during the restricted period;

 

sales or dispositions of ordinary shares pursuant to a trading plan that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that is in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement and the related filings with the SEC that are required under the Exchange Act, provided that any such filings indicate by footnote disclosure or otherwise that such sale or disposition was made in connection with a trading plan that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and the date such trading plan was entered into;

 

transfers or dispositions of ordinary shares purchased on the open market following the offering, provided that no filing under the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of ordinary shares shall be required or voluntarily made during the restricted period; or

 

sales of restricted securities for tax withholding purposes in connection with the vesting of equity awards that are subject to a taxable event upon vesting of our securities, it being understood that all ordinary shares received upon such vesting or transfer will remain subject to the restrictions of the lock-up agreement during the restricted period, and provided that if the lock-up party is required to file a report under the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of the lock-up party’s ordinary shares during the restricted period related to such disposition, the lock-up party shall include a statement in such report to the effect that the filing relates to the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations of the lock-up party in connection with such vesting event and no other filing or public announcement shall be made voluntarily during the restricted period in connection with such vesting or transfer.

 

S-16

 

 

In addition, the restrictions set forth above do not apply in certain circumstances, including:

 

the issuance of ordinary shares contemplated by the underwriting agreement;

 

the issuance of ordinary shares pursuant to employee stock option plans, stock incentive plans, stock ownership plans or dividend reinvestment plans existing on the date of this prospectus supplement (including ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of options granted thereunder); or

 

the issuance of ordinary shares upon the conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants outstanding on the date of this prospectus supplement.

 

Canaccord Genuity LLC in its sole discretion, may release the ordinary shares and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time.

 

In order to facilitate the offering of the ordinary shares, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the ordinary shares. Specifically, the underwriter may sell more shares than it is obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number of shares available for purchase by the underwriter under the option. The underwriter can close out a covered short sale by exercising the option or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out a covered short sale, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the open market price of shares compared to the price available under the option. The underwriter may also sell shares in excess of the option, creating a naked short position. The underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the ordinary shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. As an additional means of facilitating this offering, the underwriter may bid for, and purchase, ordinary shares in the open market to stabilize the price of the ordinary shares. These activities may raise or maintain the market price of the ordinary shares above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the ordinary shares. The underwriter is not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

 

We and the underwriter have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

A prospectus supplement in electronic format may be made available on websites maintained by one or more underwriter, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AND AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE UNITED STATES

 

Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers, most of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States.  Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

 

It may be difficult to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which 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. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.

 

We have irrevocably appointed Cogency Global 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. Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter which is non-appealable, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that, among other things:

 

  the judgment was rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given

 

  the judgment is enforceable according to the laws of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted; and

 

  the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Israel.

 

S-20

 

 

 

Even if such conditions are met, an Israeli court may not declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable if:

 

  the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment is rendered does not allow for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases);

 

  the defendant did not have a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence, in the opinion of the Israeli court;

 

  the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment is likely to impair the security or sovereignty of Israel;

 

  the judgment was obtained by fraud;

 

  the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the rules of private international law prevailing in Israel;

 

  the judgment conflicts with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; or

 

  an action between the same parties in the same matter was pending in any Israeli court or tribunal at the time at which the lawsuit was instituted in the foreign 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. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may 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.

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling the company pursuant to provisions of our amended and restated articles of association or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, statements about: 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. You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the documents we have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

 

The statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus regarding the following matters are forward-looking by their nature:

 

Our projection of revenue and other operating results;

 

Our expectation that we will be engaging with Tier 1 automotive suppliers and OEMs which would be building the radars based on our chipset solution, eliminating expenses associated with system completion, requirement for undertaking significant capital expenditures associated with developing mass production manufacturing and the expenses of operating any such manufacturing capability;

 

Our expectation that radars are crucial to the automotive industry and will be deployed in nearly all new vehicles as a long range, cost-effective sensor with the fewest environmental limitations;

 

Our belief that our radar chipset heralds a breakthrough in radar technology that will enable Tier 1 manufacturers and OEMs to replace the current radars with an advanced solution that meets the safety requirements of Euro-NCAP and NHTSA for autonomous vehicles at all levels of autonomous driving;

 

Our belief that a fully autonomous vehicle is seen as a potential solution for reducing the number of traffic accidents (due to the elimination of the “human element” from the equation), and as an incentive to create innovative autonomous vehicle-sharing services that will lead to the public foregoing the purchase of private vehicles, to reduce the problem of traffic congestion, and to significantly reduce fuel consumption and air pollution;

 

Our belief that automakers will choose to integrate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) based on several technologies simultaneously (radar, camera and LiDAR), and that it is likely that this trend of integrating technologies into vehicles will continue in the coming years;

 

The extent to which the conditions in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), including any possible adverse effects resulting from the change from the PRC’s zero COVID policy may affect our business with PRC-based tier-1 suppliers and automakers.

 

Our belief that our 4D imaging radar technology holds significant advantages over alternative technologies such as vision through cameras or LiDAR laser systems and over current-generation radar technologies that are on the market presently or have been announced for development;

 

The timing of the mass production by automakers of Level 2+ and higher vehicles that would use our radar systems;

 

Our belief that our ground-breaking technology that contains an advanced processor, consumes relatively low amounts of energy and can scan a vehicle’s environment at an exceptionally high resolution in real-time, and identify objects and distinguish between them with great long-range accuracy and a wide field of vision, differentiates us and will enable us to successfully compete and develop and maintain a leadership position in our target markets;

 

iii

 

 

Our belief that our products will be competitively priced;

 

Our expectation that our marketing strategy, primarily targeted at Tier 1 manufacturers, will foster cooperation with Tier 1 manufacturers to integrate our radar chipsets into the radar systems that Tier 1 manufacturers will sell to OEMs;

 

Our belief that that outsourcing with GlobalFoundries will provide us a secure path in production for quality control and reliability for automotive requirements;

 

Our belief that certain operational or registration requirements for some autonomous functions will be removed as state regulators gain better experience with the technology;

 

Our expectation that awareness among automakers and vehicle owners of the importance and benefits of installing ADAS (even in the absence of binding regulation) has increased, and that it is likely that in the future, the vast majority of new vehicles will be equipped with these systems;

 

Our belief that our radar chipset will make it possible to launch of an autonomous vehicle and will be the primary sensor for autonomous driving in the retail market in tandem with a camera;

 

Our belief that our existing infrastructure positions us well to capitalize on regulatory changes pertaining to required installation of traffic accident prevention systems in general, and radar systems in particular, which is expected to increase the demand for the technology and products that we are developing;

 

Our belief that the automotive market, which experienced significant slowdown in 2020 and 2021 following the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and a shortage of semiconductors, is expected to resume growth during 2023;

 

Our belief that an increased demand for autonomous vehicles and the transition to mass production of Level 2 and higher autonomous vehicles, requiring advanced systems for automatically integrating vehicles in traffic and preventing traffic accidents, are expected to increase the demand for products in our field of activity; and

 

Our belief that a requirement on the part of insurance companies to install radar systems as a condition for issuing insurance policies is expected to increase the demand for our products.

 

The preceding list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future performance, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are based upon our current expectations about future events, and our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

THE COMPANY

 

We are leading a radar revolution with our proprietary 4D Imaging Radar solutions. Using cutting-edge technology, we offer what we believe is the highest quality radar image on the market allowing safe driver-assist systems today while paving the way for fully autonomous driving.

 

We empower automakers (OEM’s), tier-1 automotive suppliers (automotive module manufacturers), delivery robots, and commercial and industrial vehicles, with next-generation sensing and paradigm-changing perception. Our imaging radar offers higher resolution than any other radar solution in the market and is an essential sensor for Level 2+ and above.

 

Our proprietary technology offers 4D Imaging Radar solutions that include a radio frequency chipset with the highest channel count in the industry — 2.304, and a ground-breaking radar processor chip, the first processor designed specifically for the performance and power saving requirements of the automotive industry. All coupled with AI-based post-processing capabilities.

 

Our 4D imaging radar can detect distance, relative speed, angular measurement of objects and their height above the road in any weather or lighting condition in 2K ultra-high resolution in both azimuth and elevation, delivering an image that we believe is X100 more detailed than any other radar on the market. It is also the first radar to empower perception algorithms, a paradigm-changing achievement of free spacing mapping, object tracking and identification and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). Our latest offering, a 360° Radar-Based Perception Solution that provides an integrated analysis of the complete vehicle surroundings in long range. The surround data, captured by a suite of Arbe’s perception radars, which leverage artificial intelligence to identify, classify, and track objects in 360°, is processed in real-time to create a full free space map around the vehicle, as well as an analysis of the evolving hazards sensed by the radars.

 

Our unique solution addresses the core challenges of autonomous vehicle and autopilot driving detect stationary objects — a manhole cover it can drive over or a guardrail it needs to avoid — identify vulnerable road users and eliminate false alarms without radar ambiguities. By complementing camera capabilities to achieve a full sensing environment and redundancy, it addresses all driving scenarios and environment use cases, making its solution a mandatory sensor for vehicles which operate at a Level 2+ autonomy and above. The former relates to a condition where automation systems are integrated though the driver is still required, whereas in the levels above, the higher you go, the more autonomous the vehicle will be, with a Level 5 vehicle being fully autonomous with no driver input.

 

For more information on our business, see Item 4 of our 2021 Annual Report and the caption “Business” in our July 11, 2022 prospectus.

 

COVID-19 Impact

 

During 2020 and 2021, the spread of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments have had an impact on the automotive industry, which at first estimated a reduced demand but then experienced a significant increase in demand for vehicle production and sales, which caused a chip shortage reality. As a result, some automotive factories were shut down at the beginning of this period, and some projects were placed on hold or cancelled. In addition, travel restrictions, remote work guidelines, limitations on face-to-face meetings, COVID-19 isolations and sick days, required us to change our work methods and adjust. We believe we managed to maintain our progress, relying on new work methods and on our relationships such as our supply relationship with GlobalFoundries to stay on track. We considered the impact of COVID-19 on our estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on us for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Tier 1 automotive suppliers and OEMs have generally resumed operations. The automotive factories in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) were early to return to normal and are currently operating at an accelerated rate. However, as a result of the PRC’s zero-COVID policy, several provinces and municipalities in China experienced lockdown as a result of potential spread of increased COVID 19 infections. Although the restrictions that had been imposed by governments have largely been reduced, if not eliminated, the PRC had maintained its zero-COVID policy, with resulting lockdowns and closures, which affected our business with PRC-based tier-1 suppliers and automakers. The PRC has recently changed from its zero-COVID policy, and we cannot predict what effect, if any, a significant increase in hospitalizations and deaths will have on the business of China-based Tier-1 automotive suppliers and automobile factories. Further, we cannot assure you that China will not experience further lockdowns and that such lockdowns will not affect us.

Sale through Underwriters or Dealers

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer the securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

 

If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The applicable prospectus supplement will include the names of the underwriters or dealers and the terms of the transaction, including compensation for the underwriters or dealers.

 

Direct Sales and Sales through Agents

 

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The applicable prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its commonly reasonable efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment. We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those shares. The terms of any such sales will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Offered securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth, in the supplement relating to that offering. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of securities, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

As one of the means of direct issuance of offered securities, we may utilize the services of an entity through which it may conduct an electronic “dutch auction” or similar offering of the offered securities among potential purchasers who are eligible to participate in the auction or offering of such offered securities, if so described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Delayed Delivery Contracts

 

If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

 

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, each series of offered securities will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list any series of offered securities on an exchange. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.

 

5

 

 

Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities 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 securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.

 

Derivative Transactions and Hedging

 

We and the underwriters may engage in derivative transactions involving the securities. These derivatives may consist of short sale transactions and other hedging activities. The underwriters may acquire a long or short position in the securities, hold or resell securities acquired and purchase options or futures on the securities and other derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions, we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters. The underwriters may effect the derivative transactions through sales of the securities to the public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from us or others (or, in the case of derivatives, securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle sales of the securities or close out any related open borrowings of the securities.

 

Loans of Securities

 

We may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third parties that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement.

 

General Information

 

Agents, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our affiliates, in the ordinary course of business for which they may receive customary compensation.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements with us, to indemnification by us relating to material misstatements and omissions in our offering documents. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in their ordinary course of business.

 

Except for securities issued upon a reopening of a previous series, each series of offered securities will be a new issue of securities and will have no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom offered securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such offered securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The offered securities may or may not be listed on a securities exchange. No assurance can be given that there will be a market for the offered securities.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:

 

  the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
     
  any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and 
     
  any additional terms of the governing unit agreement.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any units. The preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AND AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE UNITED STATES

 

Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers, most of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States.  Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

 

It may be difficult to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which 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. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.

 

We have irrevocably appointed Cogency Global 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. Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter which is non-appealable, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that, among other things:

 

the judgment was rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given

 

the judgment is enforceable according to the laws of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted; and

 

the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Israel.

 

Even if such conditions are met, an Israeli court may not declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable if:

 

the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment is rendered does not allow for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases);

 

the defendant did not have a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence, in the opinion of the Israeli court;

 

the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment is likely to impair the security or sovereignty of Israel;

 

the judgment was obtained by fraud;

 

the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the rules of private international law prevailing in Israel;

 

the judgment conflicts with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; or

 

an action between the same parties in the same matter was pending in any Israeli court or tribunal at the time at which the lawsuit was instituted in the foreign 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. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may 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.

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling the company pursuant to provisions of our amended and restated articles of association or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
