Our Company
 
We are a clinical stage medical diagnostics company aiming to redefine colorectal cancer, or CRC, prevention through the introduction of C-Scan®, the first and only patient-friendly preparation-free test designed to detect polyps  before they may transform into cancer. The disruptive capsule-based screening technology aims to increase screening adherence worldwide and enable millions of people to stay healthy. The system utilizes ultra-low-dose X-rays to scan the inner lining of the colon for precancerous polyps and other structural abnormalities. CRC is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer, with more than 1.8 million new cases identified every year globally. Nearly 881,000 deaths occur annually worldwide as a result of CRC.  While approximately 0.5% of the average-risk screening population presents cancerous polyps in the colon and rectum at a given time, approximately 25% of the same population presents benign polyps that could potentially turn into cancer over time. It can take up to 10 years before a pre-cancerous polyp develops into invasive cancer. As such, there is a crucial detection window for the prevention of colorectal cancer, through the detection of these benign polyps. While routine screening is recommended by The American Cancer Society for healthy people aged 45 years and older, screening adherence remains low. About 1 in 3 adults among the targeted screening population avoids having a colonoscopy in the U.S., and adherence in other regions of the world such as Europe and Asia are even lower. Unlike other screening modalities that are designed for direct visualization and imaging of the internal colon, such as optical colonoscopy and other capsule-based technologies, C-Scan is designed to function without any laxative preparation, and to transit the gastrointestinal tract by natural motility while the patient continues his or her daily routine. Furthermore, the C-Scan system does not require fasting prior to or during capsule transit. C-Scan is comprised of three main components: (1) C-Scan Cap, a ingestible X-ray scanning capsule; (2) C-Scan Track, three miniaturized patches worn on the patient’s back for integrated positioning, control and data recording; and (3) C-Scan View, a proprietary software to process and represent 2D and 3D maps of the inner surface of the colon.  We believe that this solution has the potential to become an alternative for both physicians and patients and, to increase the number of people completing CRC screening.

Since our formation, we have not generated any revenue. We do not anticipate generating any significant revenue for the foreseeable future and we do not yet have any specific launch dates for our product. We incurred net losses of $13.8 million in 2019, $10.6 million in 2018 and $9.8 million in 2017.  As of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $83.5 million and a total shareholders’ equity of $15.0 million.

Public health epidemics or outbreaks could adversely impact our business. In late 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19, also known as coronavirus, was reported in Wuhan, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China, it has now spread globally, including to Israel and the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and  recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Accordingly, many countries around the world, including Israel, have implemented significant governmental measures to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material limitations on the conduct of business. As a consequence, we have experienced temporary disruptions to our operations and we temporarily suspended our clinical studies. Further, in accordance with the directive of the Israel Ministry of Health, during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Israel, the majority of our employees worked remotely while a select few continued to work from our headquarters Also, we temporarily suspended interactions between hospitals and healthcare professionals and its employees and clinical trial patients. In addition, to manage this crisis, we implemented several cost reduction measures, including a temporary 15% reduction in salaries for all employees and management and the fees of the members of our board of directors and lowered monthly expenditures by temporarily placing a number of operational employees on unpaid leave. As a result of lowered infection rates in Israel in June 2020,  which resulted in the lifting of many government restrictions to control the spread of the virus as well as our improved financial position following our financings in April and May 2020, we resumed near normal operations and restored salaries to their original levels. However, during July 2020, infection rates in Israel began to significantly increase and the country is in the midst of a “second wave”. Consequently, we have implemented several  measures according to the Israel Ministry of Health’s guidelines, including remote working whenever possible, physical separation between employees and daily employee health monitoring.  It is still too early to assess the full impact of the coronavirus outbreak, but coronavirus is affecting our ability to initiate our planned pivotal study and commence pilot sales in Israel and Europe in our original timeframe.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic shall impact our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the impact on the global economy, the impact of a second and third wave of COVID-19 and the actions that may be required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally, could materially adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our research and clinical trials and our ability to continue raise capital, could affect the operations of key governmental agencies, such as the FDA, which may delay our development plans, and could result in the inability of our suppliers to deliver components or raw materials on a timely basis or at all, each of which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Recent Developments

On June 5, 2020, we announced that we received a notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications that we are not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
 
Further, on April 16, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting related market conditions, Nasdaq has elected to provide temporary relief from the bid price requirements by tolling compliance through June 30, 2020. As a result of the tolling of the bid price requirements, we have 180 calendar days from July 1, 2020, or until December 28, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
 
We can regain compliance, if at any time during this 180 day period, the closing bid price of our ordinary shares is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, in which case we will be provided with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.  We may then be eligible for an additional 180 day grace period if we meets the Nasdaq Capital Market's initial listing standards with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement.
 
If we cannot demonstrate compliance by the end of the grace period, the Nasdaq's staff will notify us that our ordinary shares are subject to delisting.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F on file with the SEC, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as the following risk factors, which supplement or augment the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 20-F. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment.
 
The sale of a substantial amount of our ordinary shares, including resale of the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants held by the selling shareholders in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.
 
We are registering for resale an aggregate of 25,897,198 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by the selling shareholders. Sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares, and the market value of our other securities. We cannot predict if and when selling shareholders may sell such shares in the public markets. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional ordinary shares or other equity or debt securities convertible into ordinary shares. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause our share price to decline.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares by the selling shareholders. All net proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus will go to the selling shareholders. We expect that the selling shareholders will sell their ordinary shares as described under “Plan of Distribution.”
 
We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants and placement agent warrants to the extent that these warrants are exercised for cash by the selling shareholders. Warrants, however, are exercisable on a cashless basis under certain circumstances. If all of the warrants mentioned above were exercised for cash in full, the proceeds would be approximately $20.6 million. We intend to use the net proceeds of such warrant exercise, if any, to advance the ongoing clinical development of C-Scan®, including preparations for our U.S. pivotal study, and for general corporate purposes. Pending such uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing securities, investment grade securities, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. We can make no assurances that any of the warrants and placement agent warrants will be exercised, or if exercised, that they will be exercised for cash, the quantity which will be exercised or in the period in which they will be exercised.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

The ordinary shares being offered by the selling shareholders are those ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of warrants previously issued in connection with our private placements that closed on April 22, 2020, May 4, 2020, May 13, 2020  and July 27, 2020. For additional information regarding the issuance of those warrants to purchase ordinary shares, see “Prospectus Summary – April  2020 Financing,” “Prospectus Summary – First May 2020 Financing,” “Prospectus Summary – Second May 2020 Financing,” and “Prospectus Summary – July  2020 Financing,” above. We are registering the ordinary shares in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the ordinary shares for resale from time to time. Other than with respect to H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC, or H.C. Wainwright, which acted as our placement agent in each of the June 2017, November 2017, February 2019, April 2020, the First May 2020, the Second May 2020 and the July 2020 private placements, and as our underwriter in connection with our underwritten offering in May 2018, except for the ownership of the warrants and placement agent warrants issued, and the ordinary shares issued and issuable, pursuant to prior financings, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of ordinary shares and investor warrants or placement agent warrants to purchase ordinary shares, as of August 19, 2020, assuming exercise of the investor warrants or placement agent warrants held by each selling shareholder on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercises. The third column lists the maximum number of ordinary shares being offered in this prospectus by the selling shareholders. The fourth and fifth columns list the amount of ordinary shares owned after the offering, by number of ordinary shares and percentage of outstanding ordinary shares, assuming in both cases the sale of all of the ordinary shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus, and without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercises.

Under the terms of the investor warrants and placement agent warrants issued in the April 2020 Private Placement, the First May 2020 Private Placement, the Second May 2020 Private Placement and the July 2020 Private Placement, a selling shareholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of ordinary shares which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99% of our then outstanding ordinary shares following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination ordinary shares not yet issuable upon exercise of the warrants and placement agent warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares does not reflect this limitation. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their ordinary shares or investor warrants or placement agent warrants in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The following description of our share capital summarizes certain provisions of our amended articles of association. Such summaries do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of our amended articles of association, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Ordinary Shares
 
As of September 3, 2020, our authorized share capital consists of 90,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 2.40 per share, of which 46,231,976 are outstanding.

Memorandum and Articles of Association

Registration Number and Purposes of the Company
 
Our registration number with the Israeli Registrar of Companies is 51-425981-1. Our purpose as set forth in our amended articles of association is to engage in any lawful activity.
 
Voting Rights and Conversion

All ordinary shares have identical voting and other rights in all respects.
 
Transfer of Shares
 
Our fully paid ordinary shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred under our amended articles of association, unless the transfer is restricted or prohibited by another instrument, applicable law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the shares are listed for trade. The ownership or voting of our ordinary shares by non-residents of Israel is not restricted in any way by our amended articles of association or the laws of the State of Israel, except for ownership by nationals of some countries that are, or have been, in a state of war with Israel, according to applicable Israeli law’s requirements.
 
Our Board of Directors may, to the extent it deems necessary in its discretion, close the register of shareholders of registration of transfers of shares for a period determined by the Board of Directors, and no registrations of transfers of shares shall be made by us during any such period during which the register of shareholders is so closed.  We shall notify shareholders with respect to such suspension of registration in such manner as shall be determined by our Board of Directors.
 
Election of Directors
 
Under our amended articles of association, our board of directors must consist of not less than four but no more than eleven directors, including (if any) external directors (within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law).  Pursuant to our amended articles of association, each of our directors will be appointed by a simple majority vote of holders of our voting shares, participating and voting at an annual general meeting of our shareholders (subject to the special approval requirements under the Israeli Companies Law for the election of external directors, if any). Our ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors.
 
Each director (other than external directors, if any) will hold office until the next annual general meeting following the annual general meeting at which they were elected and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until the occurrence of certain events, in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law and our amended articles of association, including his or her earlier resignation, death or removal by a vote of the majority of the voting power of our shareholders at a general meeting of until his or her office expires by operation of law. In addition, our amended articles of association allow our board of directors to appoint directors (other than external directors) to fill vacancies on the board of directors to serve for a term of office equal to the remaining period of the term of office of the directors(s) whose office(s) have been vacated.
14


Dividend and Liquidation Rights
 
We may declare a dividend to be paid to the holders of our ordinary shares in proportion to their respective shareholdings. Under the Israeli Companies Law, dividend distributions are determined by the board of directors and do not require the approval of the shareholders of a company unless the company’s articles of association provide otherwise. Our amended articles of association do not require shareholder approval of a dividend distribution and provide that dividend distributions may be determined by our board of directors.
 
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, we may declare and pay dividends only if, upon the determination of our board of directors, there is no reasonable concern that the distribution will prevent us from being able to meet the terms of our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due. Under the Israeli Companies Law, the distribution amount is further limited to the greater of retained earnings or earnings generated over the two most recent years legally available for distribution 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. In the event that we do not have retained earnings or earnings generated over the two most recent years legally available for distribution, we must seek the approval of the court in order to distribute a dividend. The court may approve our request if it is convinced that there is no reasonable concern that the payment of a dividend will prevent us from satisfying our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due.
 
In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders of our ordinary shares in proportion to the nominal value of their shareholdings. This right, as well as the right to receive dividends, may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.
 
Exchange Controls
 
There are currently no Israeli currency control restrictions on remittances of dividends on our ordinary shares, proceeds from the sale of the shares or interest or other payments to non-residents of Israel, except for shareholders who are subjects of countries that are, or have been, in a state of war with Israel.
 
Shareholder Meetings
 
Under Israeli law, we are required to hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders once every calendar year that must be held no later than 15 months after the date of the previous annual general meeting. All meetings other than the annual general meeting of shareholders are referred to in our amended articles of association as special general meetings. Our board of directors may call special general meetings whenever it sees fit, at such time and place, within or outside of Israel, as it may determine. In addition, the Israeli Companies Law provides that our board of directors is required to convene a special general meeting upon the written request of (i) any two of our directors or one-quarter of the serving members of our board of directors; or (ii) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, either (a) 5% or more of our outstanding shares and 1% of our outstanding voting power or (b) 5% or more of our outstanding voting power.
 
Furthermore, the Israeli Companies Law requires that resolutions regarding the following matters be approved by our shareholders at a general meeting:
 

amendments to our articles of association;

appointment, terms of service and termination of service of our auditors;

appointment of external directors;

approval of certain related party transactions;

increases or reductions of our authorized share capital;

mergers; and

the exercise of our board of director’s powers by a general meeting, if our board of directors is unable to exercise its powers and the exercise of any of its powers is essential for our proper management.

15


Subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder, shareholders entitled to participate and vote at general meetings are the shareholders of record on a date to be decided by the board of directors, which, as a company listed on an exchange outside Israel, may be between four and 40 days prior to the date of the meeting.
 
The Israeli Companies Law requires that a notice of any annual general meeting or special general meeting be provided to shareholders at least 21 days prior to the meeting and if the agenda of the meeting includes, among other things, the appointment or removal of directors, the approval of transactions with office holders or interested or related parties, an approval of a merger or the approval of the compensation policy, notice must be provided at least 35 days prior to the meeting.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, our shareholders are not permitted to take action via written consent in lieu of a meeting.
 
Voting rights
 
Quorum Requirements
 
Pursuant to our amended articles of association, holders of our ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote before the shareholders at a general meeting. The quorum required for general meetings of our shareholders is at least two shareholders present in person, by proxy or written ballot, who hold or represent between them at least 25% of the total outstanding voting rights (or if a higher percentage is required by law, such higher percentage), within half an hour of the time fixed for the commencement of the meeting. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum is adjourned either to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or to such day, time and place as specified in the notice of the meeting or to such day, time and place as the chairman of the general meeting shall determine. At the reconvened meeting, at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy shall constitute a lawful quorum, unless the meeting of shareholders was convened at the demand of shareholders, in which case, the quorum shall be the presence of one or more shareholders holding at least 5% of our issued share capital and at least one percent of the voting power of our shares, or one or more shareholders with at least 5% of the voting power of our shares.
 
Vote Requirements
 
Our amended articles of association provide that all resolutions of our shareholders require a simple majority vote, unless otherwise required by the Israeli Companies Law or by our amended articles of association. Under the Israeli Companies Law, certain actions require a special majority, including: (i) approval of an extraordinary transaction with a controlling shareholder or in which the controlling shareholder has a personal interest and the terms of employment or other engagement of the controlling shareholder or a relative of the controlling shareholder (even if not extraordinary), requiring the approval described in Item 6C to the 2019 Annual Report “Directors, Senior Management and Employees —Board Practices—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law— Disclosure of Personal Interests of Controlling Shareholders and Approval of Certain Transactions”; (ii) approval of a compensation policy, requiring the approval described in Item 6C to the 2019 Annual Report “Directors, Senior Management and Employees— Board Practices— Compensation Committee and Compensation Policy”; and (iii) approval of executive officer compensation inconsistent with our office holder compensation policy or the compensation of our chief executive officer (subject to limited exceptions), requiring the approval described in Item 6C to the 2019 Annual Report “Directors, Senior Management and Employees— Board Practices— Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law— Disclosure of Personal Interests of an Office Holder and Approval of Certain Transactions.”

In addition, under the Israeli Companies Law the appointment of external directors requires the approval of a majority vote of the shares present and voting on the matter, provided that either: (i) such majority includes a majority of the shares held by all shareholders who are non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the election of the external director (other than a personal interest not deriving from a relationship with a controlling shareholder) that are voted at the meeting, excluding abstentions; or (ii) the total number of shares held by shareholders who are non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the election of the external director (other than a personal interest not derived from a relationship with a controlling shareholder) voted against the election of the external director does not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the company.
16

 
Furthermore, under the Israeli Companies Law the authorization of the chairman of the board to assume the role or responsibilities of the chief executive officer, or the authorization of the chief executive officer or his or her relative thereof to assume the role or responsibilities of the chairman of the board, for periods of no longer than three years each, is subject to receipt of the approval of a majority of the shares voting on the matter, provided that either (i) included in such majority are at least two-thirds of the shares of shareholders who are non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution that are voted at the meeting on the matter (excluding any abstentions); or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders specified in clause (i) who voted against the resolution does not 2% of the voting rights in the company.
 
Another exception to the simple majority vote requirement is a resolution for the voluntary winding up, or an approval of a scheme of arrangement or reorganization, of the company pursuant to Section 350 of the Israeli Companies Law, which requires the approval of holders of 75% of the voting rights represented at the meeting and voting on the resolution.
 
Access to Corporate Records
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, shareholders are provided access to: minutes of the general meetings of our shareholders; our shareholders register and principal shareholders register, articles of association and financial statements; and any document that we are required by law to file publicly with the Israeli Companies Registrar or the Israel Securities Authority. In addition, shareholders may request to be provided with any document in the company’s possession related to an action or transaction requiring shareholder approval under the related party transaction provisions of the Israeli Companies Law. We may deny this request if we believe it has not been made in good faith or if such denial is necessary to protect our interest or protect a trade secret or patent.
 
Modification of Class Rights
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law and our amended articles of association, the rights attached to any class of shares, such as voting, liquidation and dividend rights, may be modified or cancelled by adoption of a resolution by the holders of a majority of all shares as one class, without any required separate resolution of any class of shares, or otherwise in accordance with the rights attached to such class of shares, as set forth in our amended articles of association.
 
Acquisitions under Israeli Law
 
Full Tender Offer
 
A person wishing to acquire shares of an Israeli public company, and who would as a result hold over 90% of the target company’s voting rights or issued and outstanding share capital, is required by the Israeli Companies Law to make a tender offer to all of the company’s shareholders for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the company. A person wishing to acquire shares of a Israeli public company, and who would as a result hold over 90% of the target company’s voting rights or issued and outstanding share capital of a certain class of shares of the company, is required to make a tender offer to all of the shareholders who hold shares of the relevant class for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of that class. If the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class, and more than half of the shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the offer accept the offer, all of the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer by operation of law. However, a tender offer will also be accepted if the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than 2% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class of shares.

Upon a successful completion of such a full tender offer, any shareholder that was an offeree in such tender offer, whether such shareholder accepted the tender offer or not, may, within six months from the date of acceptance of the tender offer, petition an Israeli court to determine whether the tender offer was for less than fair value and that the fair value should be paid as determined by the court. However, under certain conditions, the offeror may include in the terms of the tender offer that an offeree who accepted the offer will not be entitled to petition the Israeli court as described above.
 
If (a) the shareholders who did not respond or accept the tender offer hold at least 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company, or of the applicable class, or the shareholders who accept the offer constitute less than a majority of the offerees that do not have a personal interest in the acceptance of the tender offer, or (b) the shareholders who did not accept the tender offer hold 2% or more of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company (or of the applicable class), the acquirer may not acquire shares of the company that will increase its holdings to more than 90% of the company’s issued and outstanding share capital or of the applicable class from shareholders who accepted the tender offer.
17

 
Special Tender Offer
 
The Israeli Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares of an Israeli public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, if there is no other shareholder that holds 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, subject to exceptions. Similarly, the Israeli Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in an Israeli public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company, if there is no other shareholder of the company who holds more than 45% of the voting rights in the company, subject to certain exceptions. No tender offer is required if the acquisition of shares: (i) occurs in the context of a private placement, that was approved by the company’s shareholders and whose purpose is to give the acquirer at least 25% of the voting rights in the company if there is no person who holds 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, or as a private placement whose purpose is to give the acquirer 45% of the voting rights in the company, if there is no person who holds 45% of the voting rights in the company; (ii) was from a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company following which the purchaser will hold 25% or more of the voting rights in the company; or (iii) was from a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company following which the purchaser will hold more than 45% of the voting rights in the company.
 
A special tender offer must be extended to all shareholders of a company (but the offeror is not required to purchase shares representing more than 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders). A special tender offer may be consummated only if (i) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror; and (ii) the number of shares tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares whose holders objected to the offer (excluding the purchaser, its controlling shareholders, holders of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company or any person having a personal interest in the acceptance of the tender offer, or anyone on their behalf, including any such person’s relatives and entities under their control). If a special tender offer is accepted, then the purchaser or any person or entity controlling it, at the time of the offer, and any person or entity under common control with the purchaser or such controlling person or entity may not make a subsequent tender offer for the purchase of shares of the target company and may not enter into a merger with the target company for a period of one year from the date of the offer, unless the purchaser or such person or entity undertook to effect such an offer or merger in the initial special tender offer.
 
Merger
 
The Israeli Companies Law permits merger transactions if approved by each party’s board of directors and, unless certain requirements described under the Israeli Companies Law are met, by a majority vote of each party’s shares, and, in the case of the target company, a majority vote of each class of its shares, voted on the proposed merger at a shareholders meeting. The board of directors of a merging company may not approve the merger if it determines that there exists a reasonable concern that, as a result of the merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of the merging entities.

For purposes of the shareholder vote of a merging company whose shares are held by the other merging company or a person or entity holding 25% or more of any of the means of control of the other merging entity, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger will not be deemed approved if a majority of the votes of shares voting on the matter at the shareholders meeting (excluding abstentions) that are held by parties other than the other party to the merger, or by any other person or entity who holds 25% or more of the voting rights or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of the other party, or any one on their behalf including their relatives or corporations controlled by any of them, vote against the merger. If, however, the merger involves a merger with a company’s own controlling shareholder or if the controlling shareholder has a personal interest in the merger, then the merger is instead subject to the same Special Majority approval that governs all extraordinary transactions with controlling shareholders (as described in Item 6C to the 2019 Annual Report “Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Board Practices— Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law — Disclosure of Personal Interests of Controlling Shareholders and Approval of Certain Transactions”).
18

 
If the transaction would have been approved by the shareholders of a merging company but for the separate approval of each class or the exclusion of the votes of certain shareholders as provided above, a court may still approve the merger upon the request of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of a company, if the court holds that the merger is fair and reasonable, taking into account the valuation of the merging companies and the consideration offered to the shareholders.
 
Upon the request of a creditor of either party to the proposed merger, the court may delay or prevent the merger if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that, as a result of the merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of the merging entities, and may further give instructions to secure the rights of creditors.
 
In addition, a merger may not be consummated unless at least 50 days have passed from the date on which a proposal for approval of the merger was filed by each party with the Israeli Registrar of Companies and at least 30 days have passed from the date on which the merger was approved by the shareholders of each party.
 
Anti-Takeover Measures under Israeli Law
 
The Israeli Companies Law allow us to create and issue shares having rights different from those attached to our ordinary shares, including shares providing certain preferred rights with respect to voting, distributions or other matters and shares having preemptive rights. No preferred shares are currently authorized under our amended articles of association. In the future, if we do authorize, create and issue a specific class of preferred shares, such class of shares, depending on the specific rights that may be attached to it, may have the ability to frustrate or prevent a takeover or otherwise prevent our shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their ordinary shares. The authorization and designation of a class of preferred shares will require an amendment to our amended articles of association, which requires the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the voting power attached to our issued and outstanding shares at a general meeting. The convening of the meeting, the shareholders entitled to participate and the majority vote required to be obtained at such a meeting will be subject to the requirements set forth in the Israeli Companies Law and our amended articles of association as described above in “— Voting Rights.”
 
Borrowing Powers
 
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law and our amended articles of association, our board of directors may exercise all powers and take all actions that are not required under law or under our amended articles of association to be exercised or taken by our shareholders, including the power to borrow money for company purposes.
 
Changes in Capital
 
Our amended articles of association enable us to increase or reduce our share capital. Any such changes are subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law and must be approved by a resolution duly passed by our shareholders at a general meeting by voting on such change in the capital. In addition, transactions that have the effect of reducing capital, such as the declaration and payment of dividends in the absence of sufficient retained earnings or profits, require the approval of both our board of directors and an Israeli court.

through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 

privately negotiated transactions;

broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

If the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling ordinary shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the ordinary shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of ordinary shares or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the ordinary shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell ordinary shares short and deliver ordinary shares covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge ordinary shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants, placement agent warrants or ordinary shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the ordinary shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the ordinary shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the ordinary shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the ordinary shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of ordinary shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
 
Under the securities laws of some states ordinary shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states ordinary shares may not be sold unless such ordinary shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
 
There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the ordinary shares registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
 
The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the ordinary shares by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the ordinary shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the ordinary shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the ordinary shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the ordinary shares.
 
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the ordinary shares, estimated to be $20,000 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that each selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any, and any related legal expenses incurred by it.
 
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the ordinary shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
 
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. All of our current executive officers, the Israeli experts and the majority of our directors reside outside the United States, and substantially all of our assets and a substantial portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Therefore, service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in this prospectus, substantially all of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets, and a substantial portion of those of our officers and directors who reside outside the United States and the Israeli experts named herein, are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of these persons may not be collectible within the United States.

We have appointed Puglisi & Associates as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any United States federal or state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering. The address of Puglisi & Associates is 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19711.

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Fischer Behar Chen Well Orion & Co., that there is doubt as to the enforceability of civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws pursuant to original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws on the grounds that Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact by expert witnesses, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure may also be governed by Israeli law.

Subject to certain time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and 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 which was, according to the laws of the state of the court, competent to render the judgment;
     
 
the judgment may no longer be appealed;
 
 
 
 
the obligation imposed by the judgment is enforceable according to the rules relating to the enforceability of judgments in Israel and the substance of the judgment is not contrary to public policy; and
 
 
 
 
the judgment is executory in the state in which it was given.
 
Even if such conditions are met, an Israeli court may not declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable if:

 
the judgment was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases);
     
 
the enforcement of the judgment is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel;
 
 
 
 
the judgment was obtained by fraud;
 
 
 
 
the opportunity given to the defendant to bring its arguments and evidence before the court was not reasonable in the opinion of the Israeli court;
 
 
 
 
the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the laws of private international law as they apply in Israel;
 
 
 
 
the judgment is contradictory to another judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties and that is still valid; or
 
 
 
 
at the time the action was brought in the foreign court, a lawsuit in the same matter and between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel.
 
Foreign judgments enforced by Israeli courts 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 render 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.
