(1) The number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), stated above consists of the aggregate number of shares which may be sold (i) upon the exercise of options or issuance of stock-based awards which have been granted and/or may hereafter be granted under the Orgenesis Inc. Global Share Incentive Plan (2012) and the Orgenesis, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Award Plans”).  The shares of Common Stock registered hereunder include 231,826 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated February 2, 2012, between the Company and Sarah Ferber, 166,667 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and Vered Caplan, 83,334 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and Neil Reithinger, 41,667 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and Guy Yachin, 41,667 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and Yaron Adler, 41,667 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and David Sidransky, 16,667 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and Efrat Assa Kunik, 8,334 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and Irit Meivar Levy, 8,334 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and Yarom Englender, 41,667 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and Miri Sani and 41,667 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated December 9, 2016, between the Company and Shimon Hassin, (collectively, the “Non-Plan Stock Option Agreements”). The maximum number of shares which may be sold pursuant to the Plans is subject to adjustment in accordance with certain anti-dilution and other provisions of the Plans.  Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement covers, in addition to the number of shares stated above, an indeterminate number of shares which may be subject to grant or otherwise issuable after the operation of any such anti-dilution and other provisions.
   
(2) This calculation is made solely for the purpose of determining the registration fee pursuant to the provisions of Rule 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act as follows:  (i) in the case of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding options, the fee is calculated on the basis of the price at which the options may be exercised; and (ii) in the case of shares of Common Stock for which options and stock-based awards have not yet been granted and the purchase price of which is therefore unknown, the fee is calculated on the basis of the average of the high and low sale prices per share of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of a date (August 4, 2020) within five business days prior to filing this Registration Statement.  The chart below details the calculations of the registration fee:

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement.

 

3
 

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
