Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Kadimastem Ltd.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Kadimastem Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1B to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and has a deficiency in equity, an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficiency, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1B. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KADIMASTEM LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1: — General

 

A.General description of the company and its activity:

 

Kadimastem Ltd. (hereinafter, the “Company”) was incorporated in Israel on October 6, 2008, and began its business activities on August 27, 2009. On June 6, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of its shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”). The Company’s offices are located in Ness Ziona, Israel. The Company is engaged in the development of drugs for the treatment of terminal muscular dystrophy (also known as ALS) and diabetes in the field of regenerative medicine.

 

B.As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s capital deficiency, accumulated deficit, and negative working capital amounted to USD $7,996 thousand, USD $76,530 thousand, and USD $8,119 thousand, respectively. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a loss of USD $7,178 thousand and had negative cash flows from operating activities amounting to USD $705 thousand.

 

The Company’s ability to continue its operations depends on raising resources to finance its operations. The Company is involved in raising funds by arranging private placements to investors in Israel and abroad, raising funds on the TASE, and issuing rights to its current shareholders. At present, there is no certainty as to the Company’s ability to generate income or raise additional capital in the future, if at all.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments regarding the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities and their classification should the Company not continue to operate as a going concern. Such adjustment could be material.

 

C.The effects of the Swords of Iron War:

 

The “Swords of Iron” War (hereinafter, the “War”) broke out in the State of Israel in October 2023. The continued War has led to a slowdown in business activity in the Israeli economy due to, among other things, factories in the south and north of the country being closed, infrastructure damage, the recruitment of reserve personnel for an unknown period of time, and the disruption of economic activity in Israel. The War’s continuation may have far-reaching consequences for many industries and different geographical areas of the country.

 

The potential fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, availability of materials, availability of manpower, local services, and access to local resources may affect entities that mostly operate with or in Israel.

 

Since this event is characterized by high uncertainty, and as of the date hereof, the duration and intensity of its impact on the economy in the medium and long term is unascertainable, the Company does not have the ability to assess the full impact of the above on the scope of its business and its operating results.

 

NOTE 2: — ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in the financial statements for all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

 

A.Basis of presentation of the financial statements

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

B.Functional currency, presentation currency, and foreign currency

 

The functional currency of the Company is the New Israel Shekel (“NIS”), which represents the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The presentation currency of the financial statements is USD.

 

8

 

 

KADIMASTEM LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2: — ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

The financial statements are presented in USD since the Company believes that financial statements in USD provide more relevant information to the investors and users of the financial statements, who are located primarily in the US.

 

Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at each reporting date. Profit or loss items are translated at average exchange rates for all periods presented. The resulting translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Capital transactions in shareholders’ equity are translated using historical rates of exchange.

 

C.Government grants

 

Government grants are recognized when there is a reasonable assurance that the grants would be received and that the Company would meet all the conditions for receiving the grant.

 

Government grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) are recognized as a liability at the time of their receipt if there is a reasonable assurance that the research activity would result in sales that would entitle the State to royalties.

 

The Company does not anticipate revenues in the foreseeable future, and therefore, it does not recognize a liability component, and the grant is recorded under profit and loss as an offset from the Company’s research and development expenses.

 

For each reporting date, the Company makes an assessment of the expected grant to be received in the subsequent period, for the reporting period, and accordingly, records a provision in the books for income receivable.

 

D.Taxes on income

 

Current or deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except if they refer to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity.

 

Deferred taxes

 

Deferred taxes are calculated with respect to the temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the financial statements and the amounts attributed for tax purposes.

 

Deferred taxes are calculated according to the tax rate that is expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets up to the amount of the liability for deferred taxes due to the uncertainty as to utilization of losses in the foreseeable future.

 

E.Leases

 

The Company treats a contract as a lease when, in accordance with the terms of the contract, the right to control an identified asset is transferred for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.

 

1.The Company as the lessee

 

For leases in which the Company is the lessee, the Company recognizes on the commencement date of the lease a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, excluding leases with a term up to 12 months and leases for which the underlying asset has a lesser value. For these excluded leases, the Company has elected to recognize these lease payments as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In measuring the lease liability, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in IFRS 16 and does not separate the lease components from the non-lease components, such as management and maintenance services, included in a single contract.

 

9

 

 

KADIMASTEM LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2: — ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

At the commencement date, a lease liability includes all lease payments (these payments do not include variable lease payments) that have not yet been paid, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease when it can be determined readily or according to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. After the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability using the effective interest method.

 

The right-of-use asset at the commencement date is recognized in the amount equal to the lease liability, plus lease payments paid on or before the commencement date and any transaction costs incurred. The right-of-use asset is measured through applying the cost model and depreciated over its useful life or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.

 

Below are data regarding the number of years of depreciation of the relevant right-of-use assets by class of underlying asset:

 

   Years
Offices  3
Vehicles  3
Equipment  3

 

Where there are indications of impairment, the Company assesses the impairment of the right-of-use asset in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36.

 

2.Index-linked lease payments

 

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company uses the applicable index rate on the commencement date for the purpose of calculating future lease payments.

 

In transactions in which the Company is a lessee, changes in the total future lease payments as a result of a change in the index are discounted (with no change in the discount rate applicable to the lease liability) and recorded as an adjustment of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset only when there is a change in the cash flows that results from a change in the index (that is, at the time in which the adjustment to the lease payments comes into effect).

 

3.Lease extension and termination options

 

A non-cancellable lease term includes both the periods that are covered by an option to extend the lease, when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised, and the periods that are covered by an option to terminate the lease, when it is reasonably certain that the termination option will not be exercised.

 

In the event that there is a change in the likelihood of exercising an extension option or the expected non-exercise of the lease termination option, the Company remeasures the outstanding lease liability in accordance with the updated lease period, according to the updated discount rate on the day of the change in the likelihood, and the total change is credited to the balance of the right-of-use asset until it is zeroed and then, to profit or loss.

 

In each reporting period, the Company’s management examines the likelihood of exercising an extension option and updates the aforementioned leases’ amortization schedules accordingly.

 

According to the Company’s assessment, no extension option will be exercised.

 

4.Subleases

 

In transactions where the Company leases an underlying asset (the “primary lease”) and subsequently subleases such underlying asset to a third party (the “sublease”), the Company assesses whether all the risks and rewards associated with ownership of the right-of-use asset have been transferred. This assessment includes, inter alia, an evaluation of the sublease term relative to the useful life of the right-of-use asset arising from the primary lease.

 

10

 

 

KADIMASTEM LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2: — ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

If all the risks and rewards of ownership of the right-of-use asset have been substantially transferred, the sublease is classified as a finance lease, otherwise it is classified as an operating lease.

 

In the sublease entered into during the year, the risks and rewards were not transferred to the third party, therefore the accounting treatment was a reduction of lease expenses rather than classification as a financing lease.

 

F.Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are presented at cost, including direct purchase costs, and less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and do not include current maintenance expenses.

 

Depreciation is calculated at equal annual rates based on the straight-line method throughout the asset’s useful life, as follows:

 

   %   Mainly % 
Laboratory equipment and clean room   15      
Office furniture and equipment   8 – 15    15 
Computers and peripheral equipment   33      
Leasehold improvements   See below      

 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lease period, or according to the estimated life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.

 

The useful life, the depreciation method, and the residual value of each asset are examined, at a minimum, per year end, and any changes are treated as a change in accounting estimate prospectively. The depreciation of assets ceases on the date on which the asset is classified as an asset held for sale or the date on which the asset is derecognized, whichever is earlier.

 

The Company depreciates the fixed assets according to its economic life.

 

G.Issuance of a unit of securities

 

In an issuance of a unit of securities, the proceeds received (before the issuance expenses) are allocated to the securities issued in the unit in accordance with this order of allocation: financial derivatives and other financial instruments that are presented at fair value in each period. The fair value is then determined for financial liabilities that are measured at amortized cost, and the consideration allocated for equity instruments is determined as the residual value. The issuance costs are allocated to each component on a pro rata basis, according to the amounts determined for each component of the unit.

 

H.Change in accounting policy — first-time implementation of new financial reporting standards and amendments to accounting standards

 

1.Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements

 

In January 2020, the IASB published an amendment to International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”), regarding the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current (hereinafter, the “Original Amendment”). In October 2022, the IASB published a subsequent amendment to amend the Original Amendment (hereinafter, the “Subsequent Amendment”).

KADIMASTEM LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2: — ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

The Subsequent Amendment stated that:

 

Only financial covenants that an entity must meet before or at the end of the reporting period would affect the classification of that liability as a current liability or a non-current liability.

 

For liabilities for which compliance with the financial covenant is examined within 12 consecutive months of the reporting date, a disclosure must be made in a way that would allow the users of the financial statements to assess the risks related to that liability. That is, the Subsequent Amendment states that a disclosure must be made with regard to the carrying amount of the liability, information on the financial covenants, and any facts and circumstances at the end of the reporting period that may lead to the conclusion that the entity will have difficulty in complying with the financial covenants.

 

The Original Amendment stated that the right to convert a liability would affect the entire liability’s classification as a current or a non-current liability, except if the conversion component is equity-based.

 

The Original Amendment and the Subsequent Amendment were applied retroactively as of the annual periods commencing January 1, 2024.

 

The Company has a loan (see Note 15) that is immediately convertible into ordinary shares of the Company, with the conversion component classified in the financial statements as a financial liability. As a result of the aforementioned amendments, the liability related to the convertible loan and the liability related to the conversion component and options, amounting to USD $230 thousand and USD $1,002 thousand, respectively, as of December 31, 2023, were reclassified from non-current liabilities to current liabilities.

 

I.Disclosure of New IFRS Standards prior to their implementation.

 

IFRS 18 — Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

 

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (the “New Standard”), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (hereinafter: IAS 1).

 

The objective of the New Standard is to enhance comparability and transparency in financial statements.

 

The New Standard incorporates existing requirements from IAS 1 and introduces new requirements for the presentation in the statement of profit or loss. These include the presentation of totals and subtotals according to the new standard, disclosures of management-defined performance measures, and new requirements for the aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.

 

The New Standard does not change the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements. However, as items in the statement of profit or loss will be required to be classified into one of five categories (operating, investing, financing, income taxes, and discontinued operations), it may impact the entity’s reported operating profit. Moreover, the issuance of the New Standard led to limited-scope amendments to other standards, including IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

 

The New Standard is to be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Early adoption is permitted in accordance with the decision of the Israeli Securities Authority, subject to disclosure for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2025.

 

The Company is evaluating the impact on the financial statements of the New Standard, including the impact of the amendments to other accounting standards resulting from the New Standard.

NOTE 3: — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES, AND ASSUMPTIONS USED IN PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In the process of implementing the accounting policies in the financial statements, the Company has made the following judgments, which have a material impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

 

A.Judgments

 

Discount rate for lease liability

 

The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, and therefore, for the purpose of calculating the lease liability, it uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company conducted an assessment to determine the suitable nominal interest rate for the discounting of the lease contracts, in accordance with the Company’s financial risk, the lease contract term, and other economic variables.

 

The weighted average incremental interest rate used to discount the future lease payments when calculating the outstanding lease liability at the time of the standard’s first-time implementation is 20%.

 

Calculation of the value of the conversion component and options of the convertible loan

 

The Company has received a convertible loan from several shareholders, and the loan agreement includes warrants that would be granted to the lenders under certain conditions. Due to the complexity of the terms of the loan agreement, which includes an embedded conversion component and a right to receive warrants upon certain conditions, the attribution of the consideration received between the components of the agreement upon initial recognition requires judgement and the use of various option pricing models. (See Note 15).

 

Shareholder transactions

 

The Company received a short-term loan from one of its shareholders at non-market terms. The Company accounts for these transactions as transactions that include a contribution to equity, while recognizing them according to fair value in accordance with IFRS 9. The contribution amount, which reflects the difference between the aforementioned fair value and the terms of the transaction, is credited to equity, net of the tax effect. In order to determine the contribution to equity, the Company must assess the market terms as of the day of the transaction, including the price of the guarantee under market terms, as if it had been provided by an unrelated third party.

 

Determining the fair value of share-based payment transactions

 

The fair value of share-based payment transactions is determined upon initial recognition, using an acceptable option pricing model. The model is based on data as to the share price and the exercise price, in addition to assumptions regarding the expected volatility, expected life expected dividend, and the risk-free interest rate.

 

B.Estimates and assumptions

 

When preparing the financial statements, the management must use estimates and assumptions that affect the implementation of the accounting policy and the reported total assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. In formulating the accounting estimates, management relies on past experience, various facts, external factors, and reasonable assumptions, depending on the circumstances. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is changed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 3: — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES, AND ASSUMPTIONS USED IN PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

 

Below are the primary assumptions made in the financial statements in connection with uncertainties as of the reporting date and critical estimates calculated by the Company, for which a substantial change in the estimates and assumptions may change the value of assets and liabilities in the financial statements in the following year:

 

Grants from the Israel Innovation Authority

 

Government grants from the IIA at the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor are recognized as a liability if economic benefits that would generate sales, such that the State would be entitled to royalties, are expected as a result of the research and development activities. There is uncertainty regarding the estimated future cash flows that were used to determine the total liability.

 

Determining the Fair Value of a Non-Marketable Financial Instrument — Convertible Loan

 

The fair value of a non-marketable financial instrument classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is determined based on valuation techniques. Fair value is generally estimated based on the assessment of future cash flows discounted at current discount rates for items with similar terms and risk characteristics.

 

Changes in the estimates of future cash flows and discount rates, taking into account risk assessments such as liquidity risk, credit risk, and volatility, which constitute unobservable data, may affect the fair value of the financial instrument.

A.In respect of a loan agreement with a bank, in the amount of USD $330 thousand (NIS 1,200 thousand) (hereinafter, the “Bank Loan”), Professor Michel Revel (hereinafter, “Prof. Revel”) has provided a guarantee without the Company paying anything in consideration (hereinafter, the “Benefit”). The Bank Loan terms are as follows:

 

1.The Bank Loan will bear annual interest at the rate of prime + 1.75, as determined in commercial negotiation between the Company and the bank.

 

2.The Company will pay monthly interest payments on the Bank Loan.

 

When the Bank Loan was first recognized, the Company measured the fair value of the benefit it had received from Prof. Revel in his capacity as an interested party in the Company and credited it to the interested party transaction capital reserve, less the tax effect. The discount rate was determined according to the CAPM (capital asset pricing model) and the WACC (weighted average cost of capital) as of the reporting date, and was determined by the Company at a rate of approximately 21%, based on the following assumptions:

 

Rate of return   21 %
Variance   1.02  
Risk-free interest   4.1 %

 

Since December 31, 2020, the loan has been renewed annually for an additional year, such that as of December 31, 2024, the repayment date is December 31, 2025.

 

As of December 31, 2024, due to the change in interest rates in the economy, the interest rate on the Bank Loan is 7.75%.

 

The Bank Loan is presented at fair value as of December 31, 2024, in the amount of USD $293 thousand.

(1)The imputed interest is based on an external valuation.

 

Liabilities for a transaction with an interested party is measured according to fair value at the time of the transaction. Since it is a transaction in the capacity of a shareholder, the Company credits the difference between the fair value and the proceeds from the transaction after deducting the tax to equity in the interested party capital reserve item. The Company assessed the market conditions on the day of the transaction for each transaction and in different periods at a rate of about 21 percent.

 

In each reporting period, the Company recognizes financing expenses due to the revaluation of the loan as of the reporting date.

 

As of the date of the report, the Company recognized financing expenses due to the revaluation of loans from an interested party and a loan from a banking corporation amounting to approximately USD $5,044 thousand in 2024 and approximately USD $153 thousand in 2023.

 

C.Management’s goals and policies regarding financial risk management

 

The Company’s main financial liabilities consist of loans. These financial liabilities are mainly intended to finance the Company’s operations and provide guarantees that support its operations. The Company’s main assets are comprised of receivables and cash derives directly from its operations.

 

The Company is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks.

 

1.Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from a financial instrument will change because of changes in market prices. Market risks include three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, and other price risks, such as stock price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments that are affected by the market risk include, among others, loans and borrowings and deposits.

KADIMASTEM LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 14: — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

The calculation of the Company’s liability with respect to employee benefits is determined according to the effective employment agreement and the employee’s salary and employment terms, which establish the right to receive compensation.

 

The post-employment employee benefits are generally funded by contributions that are classified as a defined benefit plan or a defined contribution plan, as detailed below.

 

1.Defined contribution plans

 

Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law (1963) applies to part of the compensation payments, pursuant to which the fixed contributions paid by the Company into pension funds or policies of insurance companies release the Company from any additional liability to employees for whom said contributions were made. These contributions and contributions for benefits represent defined contribution plans.

Expenses for defined contribution plans   48    91    142 

 

2.Defined benefit plans:

 

The Company accounts for that part of the payment of compensation that is not covered by contributions in defined contribution plans, as above, as a defined benefit plan for which an employee benefit liability is recognized and for which the Company deposits amounts in central severance pay funds and in qualifying insurance policies.

NOTE 15: — CONVERTIBLE LOAN AND CONVERSION COMPONENT OF CONVERTIBLE LOAN AND WARRANTS

 

A.On October 16, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with the Alpha Capital Anstalt Fund (hereinafter, the “Alpha Fund”) and Mr. Julian Ruggieri (hereinafter, “Mr. Ruggieri”), one of the Company’s shareholders, to invest up to USD $1.7 million in the Company through a convertible loan (hereinafter, the “Loan Principal”) that may be converted into ordinary shares and non-marketable warrants, exercisable into the Company’s ordinary shares of NIS 0.1 par value. The loan agreement was approved at the shareholders’ meeting on December 3, 2023.

 

Below are the terms of the loan:

 

1.A total of USD $1.25 million (Alpha Fund — USD $1 million; Mr. Ruggieri — USD $250 thousand) (hereinafter, the “Initial Loan Amount”) will be disbursed by the investors up to 7 days after the fulfillment of all the conditions (as defined below) (hereinafter, the “First Completion Date”).

 

2.The Company will have the right to require the investors to provide the Company with an additional amount in excess of the Initial Loan Amount of USD $450 thousand (Alpha Fund — USD $200 thousand; Mr. Ruggieri — USD $250 thousand) (hereinafter, the “Second Loan Amount”) in the 12-month period starting on the First Completion Date.

 

The loan principal will bear interest at an annual rate of 10% (non-linked) (hereinafter, the “Interest” and with the loan principal, the “Loan”). The Loan repayment date will be after 15 months from the First Completion Date, and despite the above, the Company may extend the Loan repayment date by an additional period of 6 months (hereinafter, the “Extension Period” and the “Repayment Date,” respectively). The Company will not be allowed to pay off the Loan before the Repayment Date. As of the reporting date, the Loan has not yet been converted, as it is subject to the merger transaction with NLS.

 

On the due date, the investors will be entitled, at their sole discretion, to repayment of the Loan in one of the following two methods: (a) paying off the Loan in cash, or (b) paying off the Loan by way of conversion into ordinary shares of the Company, (hereinafter, “Shares”); in the event that on the due date, the Company will not have the means to repay the Loan, the investors may, at their sole discretion, convert the Loan, as described above, or remain indebted until a later date when the Company can repay the Loan. It is clarified that the investors have the right to convert the Loan into Shares at any time starting from the date of deposit of the Initial Loan Amount, at their sole discretion.

 

3.To the extent that the investors choose to convert the Loan into Shares, the Loan will be converted into Shares at the price that is the lower of (a) a Company value of USD $7 million (NIS 28 million) (before the investment money), based on issued and paid-up capital on the conversion date, or (b) a price that reflects a 10% discount on the average price of the Company’s Shares in the 30 trading days preceding the date of the conversion notice, subject to additional conversion price adjustments to protect against dilution (as detailed below). To clarify, the conversion price for each Share will not be less than the minimum price per Share according to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange rules and regulations (hereinafter, the “Stock Exchange”). As applicable from time to time (hereinafter, the “conversion shares” and the “conversion price,” respectively), as the Company makes capital changes (such as a capital split or consolidation), the conversion shares and the conversion price will be adjusted accordingly in order to safeguard the investors’ rights. To clarify, investors will not be allocated securities for this transaction in any case: (a) at a rate exceeding 74.99% of the Company’s issued and paid-up capital after full dilution; or (b) at an amount that would require a tender to acquire all outstanding shares, as this term is defined in the Company’s law. Any part of the loan that is not converted into equity will remain as the Company’s debt to the investors.

NOTE 15: — CONVERTIBLE LOAN AND CONVERSION COMPONENT OF CONVERTIBLE LOAN AND WARRANTS (cont.)

 

4.To the extent that the investors choose to convert the Loan into Shares, and subject to obtaining the Stock Exchange’s approval (as required), the Company will also issue non-marketable warrants to the investors that can be exercised for Shares, which will reflect a rate equal to 125% of the total conversion shares that will be received as a result of the loan’s conversion (hereinafter, the “Warrants,” and with the conversion shares, the “Offered Securities”). The exercise price of the Warrants will be equal to a rate of 110% of the conversion share price, and the Warrants’ exercise period will be 42 months from the date of their issuance. To the extent that the Company extends the payment date by the Extension Period, the Company will issue warrants to the investors, which will reflect an amount of 50% of the shares that resulted from and/or that the investors would be entitled to if they chose to convert the loan amount payable at the time of the notice of the Extension Period, under the same conditions as the Warrants (hereinafter, the “Additional Warrants”). Notwithstanding the above regarding the issuance of the Additional Warrants, if the Company’s securities are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market on or before the due date, or if the Company has a pending application for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the investors will not be entitled to the Additional Warrants.

 

5.Until the full repayment date of the Loan, the investors will be entitled to an anti-dilution mechanism when the Loan is converted, to the extent that it is converted, upon the occurrence of a dilutive event (as defined in the convertible loan agreement), and: (a) if the price per share (or the effective price per unit, as the case may be) in the dilutive event (hereinafter, the “Effective Price”) reflects a discount of less than 10% of the last conversion price for the investors, and if there is no such price, then the conversion price that would have been obtained if the investors had converted immediately before the dilutive event, and the total Shares that had been issued up to that time under all the dilutive events would be lower than 20% of the Company’s issued and paid-up capital after the issuance of the Shares in the last dilutive event, the protection mechanism will be based on a weighted average of the Company’s share capital before and after the dilutive event, as stipulated in the agreement; or (b) if the Effective Price of the security to be issued in the event of a dilutive event reflects a discount of more than 10% of the relevant conversion price for the investors, and if there is no such price, then the conversion price that would have been obtained if the investors had converted immediately before the dilutive event, or if the total of the Shares that had been issued up to that time under all the dilutive events would be 20% or more than the Company’s issued capital after the issuance of the Shares in the last dilutive event — the protection mechanism will be on a “full ratchet” basis, that is, the conversion price will be adjusted to the Effective Price of the security.

 

6.Investors will have the right to demand the repayment of the Loan immediately in certain situations, the main of which include: (a) the submission of an application by or against the Company for insolvency, liquidation, settlement, [or other similar event] that is not dismissed or stricken out within 90 days; (b) the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee, special manager, [or other similar person] without their release after a period of more than 30 days; (c) the termination or suspension of all or substantially all of the Company’s business activities at that time, for a period that exceeds 30 days; (d) a material violation of a condition, representation, or warranty made by the Company as part of the convertible loan agreement that is not rectified for up to 30 days from the date of receipt of a written notice of the said violation; (e) non-payment of the Loan on the due date in accordance with the convertible loan agreement (hereinafter, “Causes for Immediate Repayment”). Insofar as a Cause for Immediate Repayment has occurred and the Company does not make the Loan repayment within three business days from the date of receipt of said demand, the investors will be entitled to demand the repayment of the Loan through conversion according to the lower of (a) a Company valuation of USD $7 million (pre-money) on the basis of issued and paid-up capital; or (b) a 20% discount on the average price of the Company’s Shares in the 30 trading days preceding the date of the conversion notice (hereinafter, the “Conversion of the Loan upon an Immediate Repayment Cause”).

NOTE 15: — CONVERTIBLE LOAN AND CONVERSION COMPONENT OF CONVERTIBLE LOAN AND WARRANTS (cont.)

 

7.The completion of the convertible loan agreement depends on the fulfillment of the conditions precedent, the main ones of which are detailed below:

 

A.Obtaining the Stock Exchange’s approval for the issuance of all the Offered Securities;

 

B.Obtaining the approval of the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders;

 

C.Amending the Company’s Articles of Association in such a way that the maximum number of directors that serve on the Company’s Board of Directors will be reduced to only 6 directors and receiving letters of resignation from 2 directors;

 

D.The Stock Exchange’s approval.

 

On December 13, 2023, all the conditions precedent for the completion of the investment transaction in the convertible loan with the Company’s shareholders were met.

 

Until December 21, 2023, the investors transferred a total of USD $1,250 thousand (NIS 4,540 thousand), gross, and the issuance expenses totaled USD $55 thousand.

 

By April 4, 2024 (the “completion date”), the investors transferred an additional amount of approximately USD $450 thousand (approximately NIS 1,692 thousand).

 

In accordance with the embedded derivative measurement guidance, as set forth in IFRS 9, the embedded derivative must be separated from the primary contract by measuring the fair value of the embedded derivative and attributing the remaining consideration to the primary contract. The embedded derivative component must be measured every period at fair value and the changes are then attributed to profit or loss (hereinafter, “Fair Value Through Profit or Loss”).

 

As a result, when the convertible loan was initially recognized, the Company measured the fair value of the conversion right and attributed the remainder of the consideration received for the total convertible loan to the loan component itself, which constitutes the primary contract, as noted above. This component will be measured in subsequent periods at amortized cost (according to the effective interest method).

 

The issuance expenses totaled USD $55 thousand, of which USD $45 thousand are attributed to profit and loss, and USD $9 thousand were deducted from the amount received in respect of the primary contract.

 

As part of the valuation project that was carried out at the time of completion, the total net consideration received by the Company, USD $1,699 thousand, was first allocated to the conversion component and a financial derivative in respect of the conversion mechanism, which constitutes a financial liability that was measured initially and in subsequent reporting periods at fair value through profit or a loss, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, “— Financial Instruments.” The remaining amount was attributed to the debt component, which will be presented at amortized cost and at a discount rate of 370%.

 

In accordance with the above, the breakdown of the components of the convertible loan agreement as of the completion date is as follows:

 

   Fair value 
   USD in
thousands
 
Consideration attributed to the Loan, at amortized cost – host contract   293 
Consideration attributed to the conversion component and the financial derivative   1,406
