Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 09 | V2X trial results | Positive | +2.9% | Successful large-scale collision prevention trial with Renault and Orange in France. |
| Jan 27 | SoftBank collaboration | Positive | +0.0% | Advanced multi-phase V2X road safety collaboration with SoftBank in Japan. |
| Jan 20 | SoftBank V2X update | Positive | -23.6% | Further validation plans for Eye-Net’s V2X collision prediction with SoftBank. |
| Jan 07 | CES 2026 showcase | Positive | -1.4% | Eye-Net to exhibit V2X collision prevention system at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. |

Recent fundamentally positive technology and collaboration updates often saw muted or negative next-day price reactions, with only one clear alignment between upbeat news and a positive move.
Over the last several months, Foresight reported multiple positive technology and partnership milestones. Eye-Net completed a large-scale live trial in France with Renault and Orange on Feb 9, 2026, and advanced a strategic collaboration with SoftBank in Japan in January 2026. The company also showcased V2X technology at CES 2026 and demonstrated terrain intelligence to Audi in Dec 2025. Despite these developments, share reactions were often negative or flat, providing context for today’s ADS ratio change against a backdrop of sustained price pressure and prior Nasdaq bid-price compliance challenges.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective Form F-3 shelf dated Dec 12, 2025 registers up to 3,179,723 ADSs for resale upon exercise of Series A and Series C warrants, representing 95,391,690 ordinary shares. The company itself is not selling ADSs under this prospectus and expects only nominal cash from Series A warrants and approximately $2.8 million from full Series C warrant exercise. No usage has been recorded yet (usage_count 0).
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement detailed an ADS ratio change from 1 ADS : 30 ordinary shares to 1 ADS : 90, with a 3-for-1 ADS exchange effective February 26, 2026. The company stated that ownership and voting power remain unchanged, framing the move as supportive of Nasdaq listing compliance. In context, Foresight previously disclosed an unused F-3 for up to 3,179,723 ADSs and earlier minimum bid-price challenges, key elements for monitoring future capital structure developments.

Ness Ziona, Israel, Feb. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX) (“Foresight” or the “Company”), an innovator in automotive vision systems, today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its Ordinary Shares (the “ADS Ratio”), no par value per share, from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to thirty (30) Ordinary Shares, to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to ninety (90) Ordinary Shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). The Company anticipates that the ADS Ratio Change will be effective February 26, 2026.
There will be no change to the Company’s Ordinary Shares. The effect of the ADS Ratio Change on the ADS trading price on the Nasdaq Capital Market is expected to take place at the open of trading on February 26, 2026 (U.S. Eastern Time). Effective February 26, 2026, ADS holders of record in certified form will be required on a mandatory basis to surrender their ADSs to the depositary bank for the Company’s ADS program, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Depositary Bank”), for cancellation and will receive one (1) new ADS in exchange for every three (3) existing ADSs then held in connection with the ADS Ratio Change, with further details to be provided in the notice by the Depositary Bank. Holders of uncertificated ADSs in the Direct Registration System (DRS) and in The Depository Trust Company (DTC) will have their ADSs automatically exchanged and need not take any action. The exchange of every three (3) then-held (existing) ADSs for one (1) new ADS will occur automatically, at the effective date, with the then-held ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by the Depositary Bank.
As of the effective date for the ADS Ratio Change, the Company’s ADSs will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq under the symbol “FRSX” with a new CUSIP Number. The Company will file a post-effective amendment to its registration statement on Form F-6 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the ADS Ratio Change.
The ADS Ratio Change will not impact any shareholder’s percentage ownership of the Company or voting power. No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the Depositary Bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the Depositary Bank.
As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the ADS price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS price after the change in the ADS ratio will be equal to or greater than the ADS price on a proportionate basis. The Company believes that the change in the ADS Ratio will help the Company to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. However, the Company can give no assurance that this goal will be achieved.
