PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To prospectus dated March 8, 2019)
6,265,063 American Depositary Shares
Each Representing Five Ordinary Shares

FORESIGHT AUTONOMOUS HOLDINGS LTD.
We are offering 6,265,063 American Depositary Shares, or ADSs.
Each ADS represents five of our ordinary shares, no par value, or
Ordinary Shares.
The ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol
“FRSX.” On December 24, 2020, the last reported sale price of the
ADSs on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $5.02 per ADS.
Our Ordinary Shares currently trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange,
or TASE, under the symbol “FRSX.” On December 24, 2020, the last
reported trading price of our Ordinary Shares on the TASE was NIS
3.08, or $0.957 per share (based on the exchange rate reported by
the Bank of Israel on such date).
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012, and have elected to comply with
certain reduced public company reporting requirements.
Investing in the ADSs involves risk. See “Risk Factors”

Overview
We are a technology company engaged in the design, development and
commercialization of sensor systems for the automotive industry.
Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Foresight Automotive Ltd.
and Eye-Net Mobile Ltd., we develop both “in-line-of-sight” vision
systems and “beyond-line-of-site” cellular-based applications.
Foresight Automotive’s vision sensor is a four-camera system based
on 3D video analysis, advanced algorithms for image processing and
sensor fusion. Eye-Net Mobile’s cellular-based application is a V2X
(vehicle-to-everything) accident prevention solution based on
real-time spatial analysis of clients’ movement.
Our systems are designed to improve driving safety by enabling
highly accurate and reliable threat detection while ensuring the
lowest rates of false alerts. Each of our systems is designed,
developed and commercialized by one of our subsidiaries. Our
subsidiaries, all of which are located in our corporate
headquarters, benefit from our collective engineering, operating,
regulatory and marketing infrastructure to support their respective
activities. We are targeting the semi-autonomous and
autonomous vehicle markets, and we predict that our systems will
revolutionize automotive safety by providing an automotive-grade,
cost-effective platform and advanced technology.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves significant risks. Before
making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the
risks described below and in the documents incorporated by
reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, together with all of the other information appearing in
this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or
incorporated by reference herein or therein, including in light of
your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances.
The risks so described are not the only risks we face. Additional
risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also impair our business operations and become
material. Our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these
risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any
of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking
statements; you should read the explanation of the qualifications
and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed
elsewhere in this prospectus supplement under the caption
“Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”
below.
Risks Related to this Offering
Since we have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds
from this offering, we may use the proceeds in ways with which you
disagree.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working
capital and for other general corporate purposes, which include
financing our operations, capital expenditures and business
development. Accordingly, our management will have significant
flexibility 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 in ways with which you would agree. It is possible
that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield
us a favorable, or any, return. The failure of our management to
use the net proceeds effectively could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and
cash flow.
Investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution from
the public offering price.
Because the price per ADS of the ADSs being offered is higher than
the book value per share of the ADSs, you will suffer immediate
dilution in the net tangible book value of the ADSs you purchase in
this offering. After giving effect to the sale of 6,265,063
ADSs in this offering at a public offering price of $4.15 per ADS,
and based on the pro forma net tangible book value of our Ordinary
Shares as of September 30, 2020, if you purchase ADSs in this
offering, you will suffer immediate dilution of $3.339 per ADS with
respect to the net tangible book value of the ADSs. See “Dilution”
for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur in
this offering.
A substantial number of our Ordinary Shares, underlying the
offered ADSs, will be sold in this offering and we may sell or
issue additional ADSs or Ordinary Shares in the future, which could
cause the price of the ADSs to decline.
Pursuant to this offering, we will sell 6,265,063 ADSs, and the
underlying Ordinary Shares represented thereby will equal
approximately 11.15% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares as of
December 25, 2020. This sale and any future issuances or sales of a
substantial number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares in the public market
or otherwise, or the perception that such issuances or sales may
occur, could adversely affect the price of the ADSs. We have issued
a substantial number of Ordinary Shares in connection with the
exercise of warrants and options to purchase our Ordinary Shares,
and in the future we may issue additional shares in connection with
the exercise of existing warrants or options, which are eligible
for, or may become eligible for, unrestricted resale. Any sales or
registration of such shares in the public market or otherwise could
reduce the prevailing market price for the ADSs, as well as make
future sales of equity securities by us less attractive or not
feasible, thus limiting our capital resources.
We may need additional financing in the future. We may be
unable to obtain additional financing or if we obtain financing it
may not be on terms favorable to us. You may lose your entire
investment.
Based on our current plans, we believe our existing cash and cash
equivalents, along with cash generated from this offering, will be
sufficient to fund our operating expense and capital requirements
for at least 20 months from the date of this prospectus supplement,
although there is no assurance of this and we may need additional
funds in the future. If our capital resources are insufficient to
meet future capital requirements, we will have to raise additional
funds. We may be unable to obtain additional funds through
financing activities, and if we obtain financing it may not be on
terms favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional funds
on terms favorable to us, we may be required to cease or reduce our
operating activities. If we must cease or reduce our operating
activities, you may lose your entire investment.
The price of the ADSs may be volatile.
The market price of the ADSs has fluctuated in the past.
Consequently, the current market price of the ADSs may not be
indicative of future market prices, and we may be unable to sustain
or increase the value of your investment in the ADSs.
The dual listing of our Ordinary Shares and the ADSs may
adversely affect the liquidity and value of our Ordinary Shares and
the ADSs.
The ADSs trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market and our Ordinary Shares
trade on the TASE. The dual listing of the ADSs and the Ordinary
Shares may dilute the liquidity of these securities in one or both
markets. The price of the ADSs could also be adversely affected by
trading in our Ordinary Shares on the TASE.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends.
No dividends have been paid on our Ordinary Shares. We do not
intend to pay cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares in the
foreseeable future, and anticipate that profits, if any, received
from operations will be reinvested in our business. Any decision to
pay dividends will depend upon our profitability at the time, cash
available and other relevant factors including, without limitation,
the conditions set forth in the Israeli Companies Law, or the
Companies Law.
You may not have the same voting rights as the holders of our
Ordinary Shares and may not receive voting materials in time to be
able to exercise the right to vote.
Holders of the ADSs are not be able to exercise voting rights
attaching to the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs on an
individual basis. Instead, holders of the ADSs may only exercise
the voting rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares in accordance
with the Deposit Agreement. Purchasers of ADSs in this offering may
not receive voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to
vote, and it is possible that they, or persons who hold their ADSs
through brokers, dealers or other third parties, will not have the
opportunity to exercise a right to vote. Furthermore, the
depositary will not be liable for any failure to carry out any
instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast or
for the effect of any such vote. As a result, you may not be able
to exercise voting rights and may lack recourse if your ADSs are
not voted as requested.
You may not receive the same distributions or dividends as
those we make to the holders of our Ordinary Shares, and, in some
limited circumstances, you may not receive dividends or other
distributions on our Ordinary Shares and you may not receive any
value for them, if it is illegal or impractical to make them
available to you.
The depositary for the ADSs has agreed to pay to you any cash
dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on
our Ordinary Shares or other deposited securities underlying the
ADSs, after deducting its fees and expenses. Although, as stated
above, we do not currently anticipate paying any dividends, if we
do, you will receive these distributions in proportion to the
number of Ordinary Shares your ADSs represent. However, the
depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or
impractical to make a distribution available to any holders of
ADSs. For example, it would be unlawful to make a distribution to a
holder of ADSs if it consists of securities that require
registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
the Securities Act, but that are not properly registered or
distributed under an applicable exemption from registration. In
addition, conversion into U.S. dollars from foreign currency that
was part of a dividend or distribution made in respect of deposited
Ordinary Shares may require the approval or license of, or a filing
with, a government or an agency thereof, which may be unobtainable.
In these cases, the depositary may determine not to distribute such
property and hold it as “deposited securities” or may seek to
effect a substitute dividend or distribution, including net cash
proceeds from the sale of the dividends or distributions. We have
no obligation to register under U.S. securities laws any ADSs,
Ordinary Shares, rights or other securities received through such
distributions. We also have no obligation to take any other action
to permit the distribution of ADSs, Ordinary Shares, rights or
anything else to holders of ADSs. In addition, the depositary may
withhold from such dividends or distributions its fees and an
amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges to the
extent the depositary believes it is required to make such
withholding. This means that you may not receive the same
distributions or dividends as those we make to the holders of our
Ordinary Shares, and, in some limited circumstances, you may not
receive any value for such distributions or dividends if it is
illegal or impractical for us to make them available to you. These
restrictions may cause a material decline in the value of the
ADSs.
You may be subject to limitations on transfer of your
ADSs.
ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the
depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to
time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of
its duties. In addition, the depositary may refuse to deliver,
transfer or register transfers of ADSs generally when our books or
the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the
depositary deems it advisable to do so because of any requirement
of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any
provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other reason in
accordance with the terms of the deposit agreement.
ADSs holders may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect
to claims arising under the deposit agreement, which could augur
less favorable results to the plaintiff(s) in any such
action.
The deposit agreement governing the ADSs representing our Ordinary
Shares provides that holders and beneficial owners of ADSs
irrevocably waive the right to a trial by jury in any legal
proceeding arising out of or relating to the deposit agreement or
the ADSs, including claims under federal securities laws, against
us or the depositary to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law. If this jury trial waiver provision is prohibited by
applicable law, an action could nevertheless proceed under the
terms of the deposit agreement with a jury trial. To our knowledge,
the enforceability of a jury trial waiver under the federal
securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by a federal
court. However, we believe that a jury trial waiver provision is
generally enforceable under the laws of the State of New York,
which govern the deposit agreement, by a court of the State of New
York or a federal court, which have non-exclusive jurisdiction over
matters arising under the deposit agreement, applying such law. In
determining whether to enforce a jury trial waiver provision, New
York courts and federal courts will consider whether the visibility
of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement is
sufficiently prominent such that a party has knowingly waived any
right to trial by jury. We believe that this is the case with
respect to the deposit agreement and the ADSs. In addition, New
York courts will not enforce a jury trial waiver provision in order
to bar a viable setoff or counterclaim sounding in fraud or one
which is based upon a creditor’s negligence in failing to liquidate
collateral upon a guarantor’s demand, or in the case of an
intentional tort claim (as opposed to a contract dispute), none of
which we believe are applicable in the case of the deposit
agreement or the ADSs. No condition, stipulation or provision of
the deposit agreement or ADSs serves as a waiver by any holder or
beneficial owner of ADSs or by us or the depositary of compliance
with any provision of the federal securities laws. If you or any
other holder or beneficial owner of ADSs brings a claim against us
or the depositary in connection with matters arising under the
deposit agreement or the ADSs, you or such other holder or
beneficial owner may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect
to such claims, which may have the effect of limiting and
discouraging lawsuits against us and / or the depositary. If a
lawsuit is brought against us and / or the depositary under the
deposit agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of
the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to
different civil procedures and may augur different results than a
trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less
favorable to the plaintiff(s) in any such action, depending on,
among other things, the nature of the claims, the judge or justice
hearing such claims, and the venue of the hearing.
We face business disruption and related risks resulting from
the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), which
could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
Our operations and business have been disrupted and could be
materially adversely affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19.
The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted
in the Director General of the World Health Organization declaring
the outbreak of COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of
International Concern (PHEIC), based on the advice of the Emergency
Committee under the International Health Regulations (2005). The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. issued a
warning on February 25, 2020, regarding the likely spread of
COVID-19 to the U.S. International stock markets have begun to
reflect the uncertainty associated with the slow-down in the
Chinese economy and the reduced levels of international travel
experienced since the beginning of January and the significant
decline in the Dow Industrial Average at the end of February and
through March 2020 was largely attributed to the effects of
COVID-19. COVID-19 may also adversely affect our ability to conduct
our business effectively due to disruptions to our capabilities,
availability and productivity of personnel, while we simultaneously
attempt to comply with rapidly changing restrictions, such as
travel restrictions, curfews and others. Restrictions are updated
and changed on an ongoing basis. Currently travel to and from work
is still permitted, however the authorities may place additional,
more restrictive measures on businesses and individuals. Though we
may still operate under such regulations, any additional actions
taken by the Israeli government could further limit that ability
which may have a material adverse effect on our operations and
financial results. A significant reduction in our workforce and our
compliance with instructions imposed by Israeli authorities may
harm our ability to continue operating our business and materially
and adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
Further, we cannot foresee whether the Israeli authorities will
impose further restrictive instructions, which if implemented may
lead to significant changes and potentially a shutdown of our
operations.
Authorities around the world have and may continue implementing
similar restrictions on business and individuals in their
jurisdictions. We are still assessing our business operations and
system supports and the impact COVID-19 may have on our results and
financial condition. To date, we have taken action to reduce our
operating expenses in the short term, but there can be no assurance
that these remedial measures will enable us to avoid part or all of
any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences,
including downturns in business sentiment generally or in our
sector in particular.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and certain
information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement

statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,”

(other than statements of historical facts) that address
activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project,
believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance
and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have based these
forward-looking statements on assumptions and assessments made by
our management in light of their experience and their perception of
historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments
and other factors they believe to be appropriate.
Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and
business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in

Unless otherwise stated, all information in this prospectus
supplement, is based on 281,059,990 Ordinary Shares
outstanding as of December 25, 2020, and does not include the
following as of that date:
|
● |
27,900,417 Ordinary Shares
issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding under
our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, at a weighted average exercise
price of NIS 1.79 (approximately $0.56) per share (approximately
$2.78 per ADS), of which 14,930,251 were vested as of
December 25, 2020; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
13,626,285 Ordinary Shares
reserved for issuance and available for future grant under our 2016
Equity Incentive Plan. |
DILUTION
If you invest in our ADSs, you will experience immediate dilution
to the extent of the difference between the public offering price
of the ADSs in this offering and the net tangible book value per
ADS immediately after the offering.
Our net tangible book value per Ordinary Share is determined by
dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the
actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares. The net tangible book
value of our Ordinary Shares as of September 30, 2020, was $0.072
per Ordinary Share or $0.36 per ADS (using the ratio of five
Ordinary Shares to one ADS). Net tangible book value per share or
per ADS represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our
total liabilities, divided by 258,891,272, the total number of
Ordinary Shares outstanding at September 30, 2020, or 51,778,254,
the total number of ADSs that would represent such total number of
shares based on a share-to-ADS ratio of five-to-one.
Also, at September 30, 2020, on pro forma basis taking into account
the issuance of 4,371,131 ADSs pursuant to the Company’s Sales
Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, dated October 2,
2020 and the issuance of 62,613 ADSs (313,063 Ordinary Shares) to
employees under the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, we had a
net tangible book value of approximately $26.6 million
corresponding to a net tangible book value of $0.095 per Ordinary
Share, or $0.473 per ADS.
After giving additional effect to the sale of 6,265,063 ADSs in
this offering at a public offering price of $4.15 per ADS, and
after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering
expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book
value as of September 30, 2020 would have been approximately $50.7
million, or $0.162 per Ordinary Share or $0.811 per ADS. This
amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value
of $0.067 per Ordinary Share or $0.338 per ADS as a result of this
offering and an immediate dilution of approximately $3.339 per ADS
to investors purchasing ADSs in this offering.
The following table illustrates this dilution on a per ADS
basis:

The above discussion and table are based on
281,059,990 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of December 25,
2020, and does not include the following as of that date:
|
● |
27,900,417 Ordinary Shares
issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding under
our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, at a weighted average exercise
price of NIS 1.79 (approximately $0.56) per share (approximately
$2.78 per ADS), of which 14,930,251 were vested as of
December 25, 2020; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
13,626,285 Ordinary Shares
reserved for issuance and available for future grant under our 2016
Equity Incentive Plan. |
To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised or
we issue additional Ordinary Shares under our equity incentive
plans, you may experience further dilution. In addition, we may
choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or
strategic considerations even if we believe that we have sufficient
funds for our current and future operating plans. To the extent
that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or
convertible debt securities, the issuance of those securities could
result in further dilution to the holders of our Ordinary Shares
and the ADSs.
PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into a placement agency agreement, dated as of
December 28, 2020, with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, or A.G.P.,
as lead placement agent, and Aegis Capital Corp. as co-placement
agent, and collectively the placement agents. Subject to the terms
and conditions contained in the placement agency agreement, A.G.P.
and Aegis Capital Corp. have agreed to act as placement agents in
connection with the sale of the ADSs.
The placement agents may engage selected dealers to assist in the
placement of the ADSs. The placement agents are not purchasing
or selling any of the ADSs offered by us under this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, nor are they required
to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar
amount of ADSs. The placement agents have agreed to use reasonable
best efforts to arrange for the sale of the ADSs. There
is no required minimum number of ADSs that must be sold as a
condition to completion of this offering. The purchase price for
the ADSs has been determined based upon arm’s-length negotiations
between the investors and us.
The placement agency agreement provides that the obligations of the
placement agent and the investors of the ADSs are subject to
certain conditions precedent, including, among other things, the
absence of any material adverse change in our business and the
receipt of customary legal opinions, letters and certificates. The
placement agency agreement also provides that we will indemnify the
placement agents against specified liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
We have entered into a securities purchase agreement directly with
each investor in connection with this offering, and we will only
sell to investors who have entered into the securities purchase
agreement. Under the securities purchase agreements, we
have agreed not to enter into any agreement to issue or announce
the issuance or proposed issuance of any ADSs, ordinary shares or
ordinary share equivalents for a period of 30 days following the
closing of the offering, subject to certain customary exceptions.
We currently anticipate that the closing of the sale of the ADSs
offered hereby will be completed on or about December 30, 2020,
subject to customary closing conditions.
Upon closing, we will deliver to each investor delivering funds the
number of ADSs purchased by such investor through the facilities of
The Depository Trust Company.
The placement agents may be deemed to be underwriters within the
meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any
commissions received by the placement agents and any profit
realized on the resale of the ADSs sold by the placement agents
while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting
discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an
underwriter, the placement agents would be required to comply with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act,
including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities
Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These
rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales
of ADSs by the placement agent acting as principal. Under these
rules and regulations, the placement agents:
|
● |
may not engage in any
stabilization activity in connection with our securities;
and |
|
● |
may not bid for or purchase any
of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any
of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act,
until it has completed its participation in the
distribution. |
Commissions and Expenses
Upon the closing of this offering, we will pay the placement agents
an aggregate cash transaction fee equal to $1,690,000 representing
6.5% of the gross proceeds to us from the sale of the ADSs in the
offering from investors introduced to the Company by the placement
agents. We have also agreed to reimburse the placement agents for
certain fees and disbursements incurred by them in connection with
this offering in an amount of up to $25,000.
L.I.A. Pure Equity Ltd., an entity owned by Kfir Zilberman, acted
as our financial advisor for the offering and was paid $100,000 for
its services. L.I.A. Pure Capital Ltd., an entity also owned by Mr.
Zilberman, also purchased 204,820 ADSs in the offering.
We estimate the total offering expenses of this offering that will
be payable by us, excluding the placement agents fees, will be
approximately $250,000, which includes legal and printing costs,
various other fees and the reimbursement of the placement agents
expenses.

ABOUT THIS
PROSPECTUS
This
prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we
filed with the SEC utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under
this shelf registration process, we may offer from time to time up
to an aggregate of $50,000,000 of the ADSs in one or more
offerings. We sometimes refer to the ADSs as the “securities”
throughout this prospectus.
Each
time we sell ADSs, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement
that will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of such
offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing
prospectuses to be provided to you in connection with such
offering. The prospectus supplement and any related free writing
prospectuses may also add, update or change information contained
in this prospectus. You should read carefully both this prospectus,

ABOUT FORESIGHT
AUTONOMOUS HOLDINGS LTD.
This
summary highlights information contained in the documents
incorporated herein by reference. Before making an investment
decision, you should read the entire prospectus, and our other
filings with the SEC, including those filings incorporated herein
by reference, carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk
Factors” and “Warning Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements.”
We
are a technology company engaged in the design, development and
commercialization of stereo/quad-camera vision systems for the
automotive industry based on three-dimensional (3D) video analysis,
advanced algorithms for image processing and sensor fusion. We
develop advanced systems for accident prevention, which are
designed to provide real-time information about a vehicle’s
surroundings while in motion. Our systems are designed to improve
driving safety by enabling highly accurate and reliable threat
detection while ensuring the lowest rates of false alerts. We
target two vertical markets: advanced driver assistance systems
(ADAS) and semi-autonomous/autonomous vehicles.
Our
vision technology is based on stereoscopic technology, which is an
image processing concept that uses synchronized cameras to mimic
the human depth perception and obtain a 3D view.
Our
systems create and analyze a 3D image in order to foresee possible
collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and other obstacles
in roadway environments (both urban and highway), while providing
highly accurate real-time alerts with the lowest rates of false
alerts. Our powerful proprietary stereoscopic and quad-camera
technology is based in part on intellectual property that we have
acquired from Magna B.S.P., or Magna, our controlling shareholder.
Magna’s field-proven security technology has been deployed for
almost two decades in critical facilities worldwide, including
borders, nuclear plants and airports.
We
are also engaged in the design and development of V2X
(vehicle-to-everything) cellular-based accident prevention
solutions that connects users and infrastructure through smart
cellular-based platforms. V2X is a wireless technology that enables
communication between the vehicles, infrastructure, and other
devices in the vicinity, grid, home, and network. This type of
communication enables better traffic management, which leads to
reduced congestion on the roads.
Our
V2X system, the Eye-Net™ solution is designed to provide real-time
pre-collision alerts to vehicles and vulnerable road users
(pedestrians, cyclists, scooter drivers) by using smartphones and
relying on existing cellular networks.
The
Eye-Net™ solution is a software-based platform, agnostic to
cellular infrastructures, that seamlessly adapts to the cellular
network generation. The Eye-Net™ solution uses advanced algorithms
to compensate for lag time due to network latency, and to optimize
alert timing for each of the road users involved. The Eye-Net™
solution is designed to provide a complementary layer of protection
beyond traditional Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and to extend
protection to road users who are not in direct line of sight, and
not covered by other alerting systems and sensors.
RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves significant risks. Before making an
investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks
described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus
supplement and under Item 3.D. - “Risk Factors” in our most recent
Annual Report on Form 20-F, or any updates in our Reports on Form
6-K, together with all of the other information appearing in this
prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and
any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular
investment objectives and financial circumstances. The risks so
described are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks not
presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also
impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by
any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could
decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of
your investment. The discussion of risks includes or refers to
forward-looking statements; you should read the explanation of the
qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements
discussed elsewhere in this prospectus.
WARNING
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus contains and any prospectus supplement may contain, and
certain information incorporated by reference in this prospectus
and any prospectus supplement may contain, “forward-looking
statements”. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “believe,”
“should,” “intend,” “project” or other similar words, but are not
the only way these statements are identified.

statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or
developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate
will or may occur in the future.
Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject
to risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking
statements on assumptions and assessments made by our management in
light of their experience and their perception of historical
trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other
factors they believe to be appropriate.
Important
factors that could cause actual results, developments and business
decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements include, among other things:
|
● |
the
overall global economic environment; |
|
|
|

Purposes and Objects of the Company
Our
purpose is set forth in Section 3 of our amended and restated
articles of association and includes every lawful
purpose.
The Powers of the Directors
Our
Board of Directors shall direct our policy and shall supervise the
performance of our chief executive officer and his actions. Our
Board of Directors may exercise all powers that are not required
under the Israeli Companies Law, or the Companies Law, or under our
amended and restated articles of association to be exercised or
taken by our shareholders or management.
Rights Attached to Shares
Our
Ordinary Shares shall confer upon the holders thereof:
|
● |
equal
right to attend and to vote at all of our general meetings, whether
regular or special, with each Ordinary Share entitling the holder
thereof, which attend the meeting and participate at the voting,
either in person, electronically, or by a proxy or by a written
ballot, to one vote; |
|
● |
equal
right to participate in distribution of dividends, if any, whether
payable in cash or in bonus shares, in distribution of assets or in
any other distribution, on a per share pro rata basis;
and |
|
● |
equal
right to participate, upon our dissolution, in the distribution of
our assets legally available for distribution, on a per share pro
rata basis. |
Shareholder’s rights of inspection of the Company
records
Pursuant
to the Companies Law, shareholders have the right to inspect the
Company documents that are specified below:
|
(1) |
minutes
of the general meetings; |
|
(2) |
the
Company’s shareholders register and the register of substantial
shareholders; |
|
(3) |
a
document in the company’s possession, relating to an act or
transaction with interested parties that requires approval by the
general meeting; |
|
(4) |
articles
of association and financial reports; and |
|
(5) |
any
document that the company must submit under the Companies Law and
under any statute to the Companies Registrar or to the Israeli
Securities Authority and that is available for public inspection at
the Companies Registrar or the Israeli Securities Authority, as the
case may be. |
Election of Directors
Pursuant
to our amended and restated articles of association, our directors
are elected at an annual general meeting and/or a special meeting
of our shareholders and serve on the board of directors until they
resign or until they cease to act as board members pursuant to the
provisions of our amended and restated articles of association or
any applicable law. In addition, in the event the number of members
of our Board of Directors drops below the minimum number of three
members, our amended and restated articles of association allow our
Board of Directors to appoint directors to fill vacancies on the
Board of Directors (subject to the maximum number of directors of
ten) to serve until the next annual general meeting. External
directors are elected for an initial term of three years, may be
elected for additional terms of three years each under certain
circumstances and may be removed from office pursuant to the terms
of the Companies Law.
Annual and Special Meetings
Under
the Israeli law, we are required to hold an annual general meeting
of our shareholders once every calendar year, at such time and
place which shall be determined by our Board of Directors, which
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 as special general
meetings. Our Board of Directors may call special meetings whenever
it sees fit and upon the written request of: (a) any two of our
directors or one quarter of the members of our Board of Directors;
and/or (b) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate,
either (i) 5% or more of our outstanding issued shares and 1% of
our outstanding voting power or (ii) 5% or more of our outstanding
voting power.
Subject
to the provisions of the Companies Law and the 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 may be between four
and forty days prior to the date of the meeting. The Companies Law
and our amended and restated articles of association require that
resolutions regarding the following matters must be passed at a
general meeting of our shareholders:
|
● |
amendments
to our amended and restated articles of association; |
|
● |
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 required for our proper
management; |
|
● |
appointment
or termination of our auditors; |
|
● |
appointment
of directors, including external directors; |
|
● |
approval
of acts and transactions requiring general meeting approval
pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law and any other
applicable law; |
|
● |
increases
or reductions of our authorized share capital; and |
|
● |
a
merger (as such term is defined in the Companies Law). |
Notices
The
Companies Law and our articles of association require that a notice
of any annual or special shareholders meeting be provided to
shareholders at least 21 days prior to the meeting, and if the
agenda of the meeting includes, among other matters, the
appointment or removal of directors, the approval of transactions
with office holders or interested or related parties, or an
approval of a merger, notice must be provided at least 35 days
prior to the meeting.
Quorum
As
permitted under the Companies Law, the quorum required for our
general meetings consists of at least two shareholders present in
person, by proxy or written ballot, who hold or represent between
them at least 33 1/3% of the total outstanding voting rights.
If within half an hour of the time set forth for the general
meeting a quorum is not present, the general meeting shall stand
adjourned the same day of the following week, at the same hour and
in the same place, or to such other date, time and place as
prescribed in the notice to the shareholders and in such adjourned
meeting, if no quorum is present within half an hour of the time
arranged, any number of shareholders participating in the meeting,
shall constitute a quorum.
If a
special general meeting was summoned following the request of a
shareholder, then a quorum required in an adjourned general
meeting, shall consist of at least one or more shareholders
holding, in the aggregate, either (a) at least 5% of our issued and
outstanding share capital and at least 1% of our voting rights, or
(b) at least 5% of our voting rights.
Adoption of Resolutions
Our
amended and restated articles of association provide that all
resolutions of our shareholders require a simple majority vote,
unless otherwise required under the Companies Law or our amended
and restated articles of association. A shareholder may vote in a
general meeting in person, electronically, by proxy or by a written
ballot.
Changing Rights Attached to Shares
Unless
otherwise provided by the terms of the shares and subject to any
applicable law, in order to change the rights attached to any class
of shares, such change must be adopted by the board of directors
and at a general meeting of the affected class or by a written
consent of all the shareholders of the affected class.
The
enlargement of an existing class of shares or the issuance of
additional shares thereof, shall not be deemed to modify the rights
attached to the previously issued shares of such class or of any
other class, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the
shares.
Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our
Company
There
are no specific provisions of our amended and restated articles of
association that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of us or that would operate only
with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring
involving us (or Foresight Automotive Ltd. and Eye-Net Ltd., our
wholly owned subsidiaries). However, as described below, certain
provisions of the Companies Law may have such effect.
The
Companies Law includes provisions that allow a merger transaction
and requires that each company that is a party to the merger have
the transaction approved by its board of directors and, unless
certain requirements described under the Companies Law are met, a
vote of the majority of its shareholders, and, in the case of the
target company, also a majority vote of each class of its shares.
For purposes of the shareholder vote of each party, unless a court
rules otherwise, the merger will not be deemed approved if shares
representing a majority of the voting power present at the
shareholders meeting and which are not held by the other party to
the merger (or by any person or group of persons acting in concert
who holds 25% or more of the voting power or the right to appoint
25% or more of the directors of the other party) 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. 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 any
of the parties to the merger, and may further give instructions to
secure the rights of creditors. In addition, a merger may not be
completed unless at least (1) 50 days have passed from the time
that the requisite proposals for approval of the merger were filed
with the Israeli Registrar of Companies by each merging company and
(2) 30 days have passed since the merger was approved by the
shareholders of each merging company.
The
Companies Law also 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 (1) the purchaser would
become a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company,
unless there is already another holder of at least 25% or more of
the voting rights in the company or (2) the purchaser would become
a holder of 45% or more of the voting rights in the company, unless
there is already a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in
the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, the
acquisition (1) was made in a private placement that received
shareholders’ approval, subject to certain conditions, (2) was from
a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company which
resulted in the acquirer becoming a holder of 25% or more of the
voting rights in the company, or (3) was from a holder of more than
45% of the voting rights in the company which resulted in the
acquirer becoming a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in
the company. A “special” tender offer must be extended to all
shareholders. In general, a “special” tender offer may be
consummated only if (1) at least 5% of the voting power attached to
the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror
and (2) the offer is accepted by a majority of the offerees who
notified the company of their position in connection with such
offer (excluding the offeror, controlling shareholders, holders of
25% or more of the voting rights in the company or anyone on their
behalf, or any person having a personal interest in the acceptance
of the tender offer). If a special tender offer is accepted, then
the purchaser or any person or entity controlling it or 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.
If,
as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold
more than 90% of an Israeli public company’s outstanding shares,
the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of
the outstanding shares. In general, if less than 5% of the
outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer and more
than half of the offerees who have no personal interest in the
offer tendered their shares, all the shares that the acquirer
offered to purchase will be transferred to it 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. Shareholders may request appraisal rights in connection
with a full tender offer for a period of six months following the
consummation of the tender offer, but the acquirer is entitled to
stipulate, under certain conditions, that tendering shareholders
will forfeit such appraisal rights.
Lastly,
Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as stock-for-stock
exchanges between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less
favorably than U.S. tax laws. For example, Israeli tax law may,
under certain circumstances, subject a shareholder who exchanges
his Ordinary Shares for shares in another corporation to taxation
prior to the sale of the shares received in such stock-for-stock
swap.
Changes in Our Capital
The
general meeting may, by a simple majority vote of the shareholders
attending the general meeting and subject to the provisions of the
Companies Law:
|
● |
increase
our registered share capital by the creation of new shares from the
existing class or a new class, as determined by the general
meeting; |
|
● |
cancel
any registered share capital which have not been taken or agreed to
be taken by any person; |
|
● |
consolidate
and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of larger
nominal value than our existing shares; |
|
● |
subdivide
our existing shares or any of them, our share capital or any of it,
into shares of smaller nominal value than is fixed; and |
|
● |
reduce
our share capital and any fund reserved for capital redemption in
any manner, and with and subject to any incident authorized, and
consent required by the Companies Law. |
DESCRIPTION
OF THE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES
The
Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, registered and delivered
the ADSs. Each ADS represents five Ordinary Shares (or a right to
receive five Ordinary Shares) deposited with either the principal
Tel Aviv office of the Bank Hapoalim or Leumi bank, as custodian
for the depositary. Each ADS also represents any other securities,
cash or other property which may be held by the depositary. The
deposited shares together with any other securities, cash or other
property held by the depositary are referred to as the deposited
securities. The depositary’s office at which the ADSs will be
administered is located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York
10286. The Bank of New York Mellon’s principal executive office is
located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York
10286.
You
may hold ADSs either (A) directly (i) by having an American
Depositary Receipt, also referred to as an ADR, which is a
certificate evidencing a specific number of ADSs, registered in
your name, or (ii) by having unregistered ADSs registered in your
name, or (B) indirectly by holding a security entitlement in ADSs
through your broker or other financial institution that is a direct
or indirect participant in the Depositary Trust Company, or DTC. If
you hold ADSs directly, you are a registered ADS holder, also
referred to as an ADS holder. This description assumes you are an
ADS holder. If you hold the ADSs indirectly, you must rely on the
procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert
the rights of ADS holders described in this section. You should
consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what
those procedures are.
Registered
holders of uncertificated ADSs will receive statements from the
depositary confirming their holdings.
As an
ADS holder, we will not treat you as one of our shareholders and
you will not have shareholder rights. Israeli law governs
shareholder rights. The depositary will be the holder of the shares
underlying your ADSs. As a registered holder of ADSs, you will have
ADS holder rights. A deposit agreement among us, the depositary,
ADS holders, and all other persons indirectly or beneficially
holding ADSs sets out ADS holder rights as well as the rights and
obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the deposit
agreement and the ADSs.
The
following is a summary of the material provisions of the deposit
agreement. For more complete information, you should read the
entire deposit agreement and the form of ADR.
Dividends
and Other Distributions
How will you receive dividends and other distributions on the
shares?
The
depositary has agreed to pay or distribute to ADS holders the cash
dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on
shares or other deposited securities, upon payment or deduction of
its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in
proportion to the number of shares your ADSs represent.
Cash.
The depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash
distribution we pay on the shares into U.S. dollars, if it can do
so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the
United States. If that is not possible or if any government
approval is needed and cannot be obtained, the deposit agreement
allows the depositary to distribute the foreign currency only to
those ADS holders to whom it is possible to do so. It will hold the
foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of the ADS
holders who have not been paid. It will not invest the foreign
currency and it will not be liable for any interest.
Before
making a distribution, any withholding taxes, or other governmental
charges that must be paid will be deducted. It will distribute only
whole U.S. dollars and cents and will round fractional cents to the
nearest whole cent. If the exchange rates fluctuate during a
time when the depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, you
may lose some or all of the value of the distribution.
Shares.
The depositary may distribute additional ADSs representing any
shares we distribute as a dividend or free distribution. The
depositary will only distribute whole ADSs. It will sell shares
which would require it to deliver a fraction of an ADS (or ADSs
representing those shares) and distribute the net proceeds in the
same way as it does with cash. If the depositary does not
distribute additional ADSs, the outstanding ADSs will also
represent the new shares. The depositary may sell a portion of the
distributed shares (or ADSs representing those shares) sufficient
to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that
distribution.
Rights
to purchase additional shares. If we offer holders of our
securities any rights to subscribe for additional shares or any
other rights, the depositary may (i) exercise those rights on
behalf of ADS holders, (ii) distribute those rights to ADS holders
or (iii) sell those rights and distribute the net proceeds to ADS
holders, in each case after deduction or upon payment of its fees
and expenses. To the extent the depositary does not do any of those
things, it will allow the rights to lapse. In that case, you will
receive no value for them. The depositary will exercise or
distribute rights only if we ask it to and provide satisfactory
assurances to the depositary that it is legal to do so. If the
depositary will exercise rights, it will purchase the securities to
which the rights relate and distribute those securities or, in the
case of shares, new ADSs representing the new shares, to
subscribing ADS holders, but only if ADS holders have paid the
exercise price to the depositary. U.S. securities laws may restrict
the ability of the depositary to distribute rights or ADSs or other
securities issued on exercise of rights to all or certain ADS
holders, and the securities distributed may be subject to
restrictions on transfer.
Other
Distributions. The depositary will send to ADS holders anything
else we distribute on deposited securities by any means it thinks
is legal, fair and practical. If it cannot make the distribution in
that way, the depositary has a choice. It may decide to sell what
we distributed and distribute the net proceeds, in the same way as
it does with cash. Or, it may decide to hold what we distributed,
in which case ADSs will also represent the newly distributed
property. However, the depositary is not required to distribute any
securities (other than ADSs) to ADS holders unless it receives
satisfactory evidence from us that it is legal to make that
distribution. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed
securities or property sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in
connection with that distribution. U.S. securities laws may
restrict the ability of the depositary to distribute securities to
all or certain ADS holders, and the securities distributed may be
subject to restrictions on transfer.
The
depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or
impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders. We
have no obligation to register ADSs, shares, rights or other
securities under the Securities Act. We also have no obligation to
take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, shares,
rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that you may not
receive the distributions we make on our shares or any value for
them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available
to you.
Deposit,
Withdrawal and Cancellation
How are ADSs issued?
The
depositary will deliver ADSs if you or your broker deposits shares
or evidence of rights to receive shares with the custodian. Upon
payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such
as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will
register the appropriate number of ADSs in the names you request
and will deliver the ADSs to or upon the order of the person or
persons that made the deposit.
How can ADS holders withdraw the deposited
securities?
You
may surrender your ADSs to the depositary for the purpose of
withdrawal. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes
or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees,
the depositary will deliver the shares and any other deposited
securities underlying the ADSs to the ADS holder or a person the
ADS holder designates at the office of the custodian. Or, at your
request, risk and expense, the depositary will deliver the
deposited securities at its office, if feasible. However, the
depositary is not required to accept surrender of ADSs to the
extent it would require delivery of a fraction of a deposited share
or other security. The depositary may charge you a fee and its
expenses for instructing the custodian regarding delivery of
deposited securities.
How do ADS holders interchange between certificated ADSs and
uncertificated ADSs?
You
may surrender your ADR to the depositary for the purpose of
exchanging your ADR for uncertificated ADSs. The depositary will
cancel that ADR and will send to the ADS holder a statement
confirming that the ADS holder is the registered holder of
uncertificated ADSs. Upon receipt by the depositary of a proper
instruction from a registered holder of uncertificated ADSs
requesting the exchange of uncertificated ADSs for certificated
ADSs, the depositary will execute and deliver to the ADS holder an
ADR evidencing those ADSs.
Voting
Rights
How do you vote?
ADS
holders may instruct the depositary how to vote the number of
deposited shares their ADSs represent. If we request the depositary
to solicit your voting instructions (and we are not required to do
so), the depositary will notify you of a shareholders’ meeting and
send or make voting materials available to you. Those materials
will describe the matters to be voted on and explain how ADS
holders may instruct the depositary how to vote. For instructions
to be valid, they must reach the depositary by a date set by the
depositary. The depositary will try, as far as practical, subject
to the laws of Israel and the provisions of our amended and
restated articles of association or similar documents, to vote or
to have its agents vote the shares or other deposited securities as
instructed by ADS holders. If we do not request the depositary to
solicit your voting instructions, you can still send voting
instructions, and, in that case, the depositary may try to vote as
you instruct, but it is not required to do so.
Except
by instructing the depositary as described above, you won’t be able
to exercise voting rights unless you surrender your ADSs and
withdraw the shares. However, you may not know about the meeting
enough in advance to withdraw the shares. In any event, the
depositary will not exercise any discretion in voting deposited
securities and it will only vote or attempt to vote as
instructed.
We
cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in
time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your
shares. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not
responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the
manner of carrying out voting instructions. This means that you
may not be able to exercise voting rights and there may be nothing
you can do if your shares are not voted as you
requested.
In
order to give you a reasonable opportunity to instruct the
depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to
Deposited Securities, if we request the depositary to act, we agree
to give the depositary notice of any such meeting and details
concerning the matters to be voted upon at least 45 days in advance
of the meeting date.

|
As

The
depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs
directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for
the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them.
The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors
by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling
a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary
may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction
from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by
charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for
them. The depositary may collect any of its fees by deduction from
any cash distribution payable (or by selling a portion of
securities or other property distributable) to ADS holders that are
obligated to pay those fees. The depositary may generally refuse to
provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services
are paid.
From
time to time, the depositary may make payments to us to reimburse
us for costs and expenses generally arising out of establishment
and maintenance of the ADS program, waive fees and expenses for
services provided to us by the depositary or share revenue from the
fees collected from ADS holders. In performing its duties under the
deposit agreement, the depositary may use brokers, dealers, foreign
currency dealers or other service providers that are owned by or
affiliated with the depositary and that may earn or share fees,
spreads or commissions.
The
depositary may convert currency itself or through any of its
affiliates and, in those cases, acts as principal for its own
account and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary on behalf of
any other person and earns revenue, including, without limitation,
transaction spreads, that it will retain for its own account. The
revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the
exchange rate assigned to the currency conversion made under the
deposit agreement and the rate that the depositary or its affiliate
receives when buying or selling foreign currency for its own
account. The depositary makes no representation that the exchange
rate used or obtained in any currency conversion under the deposit
agreement will be the most favorable rate that could be obtained at
the time or that the method by which that rate will be determined
will be the most favorable to ADS holders, subject to the
depositary’s obligations under the deposit agreement. The
methodology used to determine exchange rates used in currency
conversions is available upon request.
Payment
of Taxes
You
will be responsible for any taxes or other governmental charges
payable on your ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by
any of your ADSs. The depositary may refuse to register any
transfer of your ADSs or allow you to withdraw the deposited
securities represented by your ADSs until those taxes or other
charges are paid. It may apply payments owed to you or sell
deposited securities represented by your ADS to pay any taxes owed
and you will remain liable for any deficiency. If the depositary
sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce the
number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to ADS holders any
proceeds, or send to ADS holders any property, remaining after it
has paid the taxes.
Tender
and Exchange Offers; Redemption, Replacement or Cancellation of
Deposited Securities
The
depositary will not tender deposited securities in any voluntary
tender or exchange offer unless instructed to do by an ADS holder
surrendering ADSs and subject to any conditions or procedures the
depositary may establish.
If
deposited securities are redeemed for cash in a transaction that is
mandatory for the depositary as a holder of deposited securities,
the depositary will call for surrender of a corresponding number of
ADSs and distribute the net redemption money to the holders of
called ADSs upon surrender of those ADSs.
If
there is any change in the deposited securities such as a
sub-division, combination or other reclassification, or any merger,
consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization affecting the
issuer of deposited securities in which the depositary receives new
securities in exchange for or in lieu of the old deposited
securities, the depositary will hold those replacement securities
as deposited securities under the deposit agreement. However, if
the depositary decides it would not be lawful and practical to hold
the replacement securities because those securities could not be
distributed to ADS holders or for any other reason, the depositary
may instead sell the replacement securities and distribute the net
proceeds upon surrender of the ADSs.
If
there is a replacement of the deposited securities and the
depositary will continue to hold the replacement securities, the
depositary may distribute new ADSs representing the new deposited
securities or ask you to surrender your outstanding ADRs in
exchange for new ADRs identifying the new deposited
securities.
If
there are no deposited securities underlying ADSs, including if the
deposited securities are cancelled, or if the deposited securities
underlying ADSs have become apparently worthless, the depositary
may call for surrender or of those ADSs or cancel those ADSs upon
notice to the ADS holders.
Amendment
and Termination
How may the deposit agreement be amended?
We
may agree with the depositary to amend the deposit agreement and
the ADRs without your consent for any reason. If an amendment adds
or increases fees or charges, except for taxes and other
governmental charges or expenses of the depositary for registration
fees, facsimile costs, delivery charges or similar items, or
prejudices a substantial right of ADS holders, it will not become
effective for outstanding ADSs until 30 days after the depositary
notifies ADS holders of the amendment. At the time an amendment
becomes effective, you are considered, by continuing to hold your
ADSs, to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADRs and the
deposit agreement as amended.
How may the deposit agreement be terminated?
The
depositary will initiate termination of the deposit agreement if we
instruct it to do so. The depositary may initiate termination of
the deposit agreement if
|
● |
60
days have passed since the depositary told us it wants to resign
but a successor depositary has not been appointed and accepted its
appointment; |
|
● |
we
delist our shares from an exchange on which they were listed and do
not list the shares on another exchange; |
|
● |
we
appear to be insolvent or enter insolvency proceedings |
|
● |
all
or substantially all the value of the deposited securities has been
distributed either in cash or in the form of
securities; |
|
● |
there
are no deposited securities underlying the ADSs or the underlying
deposited securities have become apparently worthless;
or |
|
● |
there
has been a replacement of deposited securities. |
If
the deposit agreement will terminate, the depositary will notify
ADS holders at least 90 days before the termination date. At any
time after the termination date, the depositary may sell the
deposited securities. After that, the depositary will hold the
money it received on the sale, as well as any other cash it is
holding under the deposit agreement, unsegregated and without
liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the ADS holders
that have not surrendered their ADSs. Normally, the depositary will
sell as soon as practicable after the termination date.
After
the termination date and before the depositary sells, ADS holders
can still surrender their ADSs and receive delivery of deposited
securities, except that the depositary may refuse to accept a
surrender for the purpose of withdrawing deposited securities or
reverse previously accepted surrenders of that kind if it would
interfere with the selling process. The depositary may refuse to
accept a surrender for the purpose of withdrawing sale proceeds
until all the deposited securities have been sold. The depositary
will continue to collect distributions on deposited securities,
but, after the termination date, the depositary is not required to
register any transfer of ADSs or distribute any dividends or other
distributions on deposited securities to the ADSs holder (until
they surrender their ADSs) or give any notices or perform any other
duties under the deposit agreement except as described in this
paragraph.
Limitations
on Obligations and Liability
Limits on our Obligations and the Obligations of the Depositary;
Limits on Liability to Holders of ADSs
The
deposit agreement expressly limits our obligations and the
obligations of the depositary. It also limits our liability and the
liability of the depositary. We and the depositary:
|
● |
are
only obligated to take the actions specifically set forth in the
deposit agreement without negligence or bad faith, and the
depositary will not be a fiduciary or have any fiduciary duty to
holders of ADSs; |
|
● |
are
not liable if we are or it is prevented or delayed by law or by
events or circumstances beyond our or its ability to prevent or
counteract with reasonable care or effort from performing our or
its obligations under the deposit agreement; |
|
● |
are
not liable if we or it exercises discretion permitted under the
deposit agreement; |
|
● |
are
not liable for the inability of any holder of ADSs to benefit from
any distribution on deposited securities that is not made available
to holders of ADSs under the terms of the deposit agreement, or for
any special, consequential or punitive damages for any breach of
the terms of the deposit agreement, or for any; |
|
● |
have
no obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or other proceeding
related to the ADSs or the deposit agreement on your behalf or on
behalf of any other person; |
|
● |
may
rely upon any documents we believe or it believes in good faith to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
person; |
|
● |
are
not liable for the acts or omissions of any securities depository,
clearing agency or settlement system; and |
|
● |
the
depositary has no duty to make any determination or provide any
information as to our tax status, or any liability for any tax
consequences that may be incurred by ADS holders as a result of
owning or holding ADSs or be liable for the inability or failure of
an ADS holder to obtain the benefit of a foreign tax credit,
reduced rate of withholding or refund of amounts withheld in
respect of tax or any other tax benefit. |
In
the deposit agreement, we and the depositary agree to indemnify
each other under certain circumstances.
Requirements
for Depositary Actions
Before
the depositary will deliver or register a transfer of ADSs, make a
distribution on ADSs, or permit withdrawal of shares, the
depositary may require:
|
● |
payment
of stock transfer or other taxes or other governmental charges and
transfer or registration fees charged by third parties for the
transfer of any shares or other deposited securities; |
|
● |
satisfactory
proof of the identity and genuineness of any signature or other
information it deems necessary; and |
|
● |
compliance
with regulations it may establish, from time to time, consistent
with the deposit agreement, including presentation of transfer
documents. |
The
depositary may refuse to deliver ADSs or register transfers of ADSs
when the transfer books of the depositary or our transfer books are
closed or at any time if the depositary or we think it advisable to
do so.
Your
Right to Receive the Shares Underlying your ADSs
ADS
holders have the right to cancel their ADSs and withdraw the
underlying shares at any time except:
|
● |
when
temporary delays arise because: (i) the depositary has closed its
transfer books or we have closed our transfer books; (ii) the
transfer of shares is blocked to permit voting at a shareholders’
meeting; or (iii) we are paying a dividend on our
shares; |
|
● |
when
you owe money to pay fees, taxes and similar charges;
or |
|
● |
when
it is necessary to prohibit withdrawals in order to comply with any
laws or governmental regulations that apply to ADSs or to the
withdrawal of shares or other deposited securities. |
This
right of withdrawal may not be limited by any other provision of
the deposit agreement.
Pre-release
of ADSs
The
deposit agreement permits the depositary to deliver ADSs before
deposit of the underlying shares. This is called a pre-release of
the ADSs. The depositary may also deliver shares upon cancellation
of pre-released ADSs (even if the ADSs are canceled before the
pre-release transaction has been closed out). A pre-release is
closed out as soon as the underlying shares are delivered to the
depositary. The depositary may receive ADSs instead of shares to
close out a pre-release. The depositary may pre-release ADSs only
under the following conditions: (1) before or at the time of the
pre-release, the person to whom the pre-release is being made
represents to the depositary in writing that it or its customer
owns the shares or ADSs to be deposited; (2) the pre-release is
fully collateralized with cash or other collateral that the
depositary considers appropriate; and (3) the depositary must be
able to close out the pre-release on not more than five business
days’ notice. In addition, the depositary will limit the number of
ADSs that may be outstanding at any time as a result of
pre-release, although the depositary may disregard the limit from
time to time if it thinks it is appropriate to do so.
Direct
Registration System
In
the deposit agreement, all parties to the deposit agreement
acknowledge that the Direct Registration System, also referred to
as DRS, and Profile Modification System, also referred to as
Profile, will apply to the ADSs. DRS is a system administered by
DTC that facilitates interchange between registered holding of
uncertificated ADSs and holding of security entitlements in ADSs
through DTC and a DTC participant. Profile is feature of DRS that
allows a DTC participant, claiming to act on behalf of a registered
holder of uncertificated ADSs, to direct the depositary to register
a transfer of those ADSs to DTC or its nominee and to deliver those
ADSs to the DTC account of that DTC participant without receipt by
the depositary of prior authorization from the ADS holder to
register that transfer.
In
connection with and in accordance with the arrangements and
procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties to the deposit
agreement understand that the depositary will not determine whether
the DTC participant that is claiming to be acting on behalf of an
ADS holder in requesting registration of transfer and delivery as
described in the paragraph above has the actual authority to act on
behalf of the ADS holder (notwithstanding any requirements under
the Uniform Commercial Code). In the deposit agreement, the parties
agree that the depositary’s reliance on and compliance with
instructions received by the depositary through the DRS/Profile
System and in accordance with the deposit agreement will not
constitute negligence or bad faith on the part of the
depositary.
Shareholder
communications; inspection of register of holders of
ADSs
The
depositary will make available for your inspection at its office
all communications that it receives from us as a holder of
deposited securities that we make generally available to holders of
deposited securities. The depositary will send you copies of those
communications or otherwise make those communications available to
you if we ask it to. You have a right to inspect the register of
holders of ADSs, but not for the purpose of contacting those
holders about a matter unrelated to our business or the
ADSs.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
may sell the securities being offered hereby in one or more of the
following methods from time to time:
|
● |
a
block trade (which may involve crosses) in which the broker or
dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but
may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction; |
|
● |
purchases
by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or
dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
|
● |
exchange
distributions and/or secondary distributions; |
|
● |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers; |
|
● |
to
one or more underwriters for resale to the public or to
investors; |
|
● |
in
“at the market offerings,” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of
the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an
existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise; |
|
● |
transactions
not involving market makers or established trading markets,
including direct sales or privately negotiated transactions;
or |
|
● |
through
a combination of these methods of sale. |
The
securities that we distribute by any of these methods may be sold,
in one or more transactions, at:
|
● |
a
fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
|
● |
market
prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
● |
prices
related to prevailing market prices; or |
We
will set forth in a prospectus supplement the terms of the offering
of securities, including:
|
● |
the
name or names of any agents, dealers or underwriters; |
|
● |
the
purchase price of the securities being offered and the proceeds we
will receive from the sale; |
|
● |
any
over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase
additional securities from us; |
|
● |
any
agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting
agents’ or underwriters’ compensation; |
|
● |
the
public offering price; |
|
● |
any
discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers;
and |
|
● |
any
securities exchanges or markets on which such securities may be
listed. |
If
underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities
for their own account and may resell the securities from time to
time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price
or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The
obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be
subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting
agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through
underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by
underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions,
the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the
securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than
securities covered by any over-allotment option. Any public
offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or
re-allowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may
use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will
describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the
nature of any such relationship.
We
may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from
time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and
sale of securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay
the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus
supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts
basis for the period of its appointment.
We
may also sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without
using underwriters or agents.
Underwriters,
dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the
securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act and
any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on
their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will
identify in the applicable prospectus supplement any underwriters,
dealers or agents and will describe their compensation. We may have
agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify
them against specified civil liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers and agents may
engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the
ordinary course of their businesses.
In
connection with an offering, an underwriter may purchase and sell
securities in the open market. These transactions may include short
sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions
created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the
underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are
required to purchase in the offering.
Accordingly,
to cover these short sales positions or to otherwise stabilize or
maintain the price of the securities, the underwriters may bid for
or purchase securities in the open market and may impose penalty
bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to
syndicate members or other broker-dealers participating in the
offering are reclaimed if securities previously distributed in the
offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization
transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be
to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a
level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market.
The impositions of a penalty bid may also affect the price of the
securities to the extent that it discourages resale of the
securities. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other
transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on
The Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.
EXPENSES
We
are paying all of the expenses of the registration of our
securities under the Securities Act, including, to the extent

defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are
exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the
furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers,
directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting
and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16
of the Exchange Act.
In
addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file
annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements with
the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose
securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we file
with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or
such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on
Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent
registered public accounting firm, and submit to the SEC, on a Form
6-K, unaudited quarterly financial information.
In
addition, since our Ordinary Shares were traded on the TASE prior
to our listing on Nasdaq, until June 15, 2017 we have filed Hebrew
language periodic and immediate reports with, and furnished
information to, the TASE and the Israel Securities Authority, or
the ISA, as required under Chapter Six of the Israel Securities
Law, 1968. Copies of our filings with the ISA can be retrieved
electronically through the MAGNA distribution site of the ISA
(www.magna.isa.gov.il) and the TASE website
(www.maya.tase.co.il).

ENFORCEABILITY OF
CIVIL LIABILITIES
We
are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of
process upon us and upon our directors and officers, substantially
all of whom reside outside of 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 of 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.
We
have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Lipa Meir &
Co, that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims
in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse
to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws
because 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 which can
be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of
procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject
to specified time limitations and legal procedures, an Israeli
court may enforce a United States judgment in a civil matter,
which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including
judgments 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
foreign country’s laws and the rules of private international law
currently prevailing in Israel, competent to render it; |
|
● |
the
judgment is no longer appealable; |
|
● |
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 in Israel;
and |
|
● |
the
judgment is enforceable according to the law of the foreign state
in which it was given. |
A
foreign judgment will not be declared enforceable by Israeli courts
if it was given in a state, the laws of which do not provide for
the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to
exceptional cases) or if its enforcement is likely to impair the
sovereignty or security of Israel. An Israeli court also will not
declare a foreign judgment enforceable if it is proved to the
Israeli court that:
|
● |
the
judgment was obtained by fraud; |
|
● |
no
adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has
not had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or
her evidence; |
|
● |
the
judgment is in conflict with another judgment that was given in the
same matter between the same parties and which is still valid;
or |
|
● |
at
the time the action was brought to the foreign court a claim in the
same matter and between the same parties was pending before a court
or tribunal in Israel. |
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.
