beneficially owned financial

"The percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

at-the-market offering facility financial

"pursuant to the Issuer's at-the-market offering facility, for which A.G.P."

A program that lets a company sell newly issued shares directly into the open market at prevailing prices over time through a broker, rather than all at once. Think of it as a faucet that lets the company draw small, on-demand amounts of cash when needed. Investors care because it provides flexible, lower-cost fundraising but increases the total shares outstanding — which can reduce existing holders’ ownership and may influence the stock price.

block trades financial

"These purchases were made through block trades carried out pursuant to the Issuer's"

A block trade is a single, large buy or sell of shares or bonds arranged privately between big traders rather than piecemeal on the public market. Think of it like buying a whole shipment at once instead of many small shopping trips; it lets large holders move big positions with less immediate disruption but can signal strong buying or selling pressure and cause price swings once the trade is known, so investors watch block trades for clues about market sentiment and liquidity.

sales agent financial

"for which A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners serves as sales agent"

A sales agent is an individual or firm authorized to sell a company’s products or services on its behalf, typically paid by commission or fees rather than a fixed salary. For investors, who a company uses to reach customers and how well those agents perform affects revenue growth and profit margins — like hiring local independent sellers to expand into new neighborhoods without building stores — so agent quality and cost matter to future cash flow and valuation.

Ordinary Shares financial

"Ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.20 per share"

Ordinary shares are a type of ownership stake in a company, giving shareholders a right to participate in the company’s profits and decision-making through voting. They are similar to owning a piece of a business, and their value can rise or fall based on the company's performance. Investors buy ordinary shares to potentially earn dividends and benefit from the company's growth over time.
