PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 8. Indemnification of Directors, Officers
and Employees
Under the Israeli Companies
Law, 5759-1999, or the Israeli Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of
loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages
caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care, but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its
articles of association. Our amended articles of association include such a provision, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The company
may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or other distribution to shareholders.
Under the Israeli Companies
Law and the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968, or the Israeli Securities Law, a company may indemnify an office holder in respect of the
following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking made
in advance of any such event or following an event, provided its articles of association include a provision authorizing such indemnification:
| |
● |
a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the company’s activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount or according to criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and such undertaking shall detail the abovementioned foreseen events and amount or criteria; |
| |
● |
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder (1) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial liability was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; and (2) in connection with a monetary sanction; |
| |
● |
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; and |
| |
● |
expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by an office holder in relation to an administrative proceeding instituted against such office holder, or certain compensation payments made to an injured party imposed on an office holder by an administrative proceeding, pursuant to certain provisions of the Israeli Securities Law. |
Under the Israeli Companies
Law and the Israeli Securities Law, a company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed
by him or her as an office holder if and to the extent provided in the company’s articles of association:
| |
● |
a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company; |
| |
● |
a breach of the duty of care to the company or to a third party, to the extent such a breach arises out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; |
| |
● |
a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party; and |
| |
● |
expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by an office holder in relation to an administrative proceeding instituted against such office holder or certain compensation payments to an injured party imposed on an office holder by an administrative proceeding, pursuant to certain provisions of the Securities Law. |
Under the Israeli Companies
Law, a company may not indemnify, exculpate or enter into an insurance contract for office holder liability, for any of the following:
| |
● |
a breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification and insurance for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company; |
| |
● |
a breach of the duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; |
| |
● |
an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or |
| |
● |
a fine, monetary sanction or forfeit levied against the office holder. |
Under the Israeli Companies
Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders in a public company must be approved by the compensation committee and
the board of directors and, with respect to the chief executive officer and a director or (under certain circumstances), also by the shareholders.
See Item 6C to the 2024 Annual Report “Directors, Senior Management and Employees —Board Practices—Fiduciary Duties
and Approval of Related Party Transactions.” However, the insurance of office holders shall not require shareholder approval and
may be approved only by the compensation committee, if the engagement terms are determined in the company’s compensation policy
and that policy was approved by the shareholders by a special majority (as described in Item 6C to the 2024 Annual Report “Directors,
Senior Management and Employees —Board Practices—Fiduciary Duties and Approval of Related Party Transactions”), provided
that the policy is on market terms and is not likely to materially impact the company’s profitability, assets or obligations.
Our amended articles of association
permit us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted under the Israeli Companies Law and the
Israeli Securities Law. We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of our office holders
and intend to continue to maintain such coverage and pay all premiums thereunder to the fullest extent permitted by the Israeli Companies
Law.
We have entered into indemnification
and exculpation agreements with each of our current officers and directors exculpating them from a breach of their duty of care to us
to the fullest extent permitted by the Israeli Companies Law and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by the
Israeli Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law, to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by insurance. This indemnification
is limited to events determined as foreseeable by our board of directors based on our activities, as set forth in the indemnification
agreements. Under such indemnification agreements, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that we may pay to any and all of our
currently serving or future officers and directors together may not exceed the higher of $5 million and 25% of our shareholders equity
according to our most recent financial statements at the time of payment. In the opinion of the SEC, however, indemnification of directors
and office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

The agreements included as
exhibits to this registration statement contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These
representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and (i) were not intended
to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements
prove to be inaccurate; (ii) may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection
with the negotiation of the applicable agreement; (iii) may apply contract standards of “materiality” that are different from
“materiality” under the applicable securities laws; and (iv) were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or
such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement.
The Registrant acknowledges
that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, the registrant is responsible for considering whether additional
specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this registration
statement not misleading.
(b) Financial Statement Schedules
All schedules have been omitted
because either they are not required, are not applicable or the information is otherwise set forth in the consolidated financial statements
and related notes thereto.
Item 10. 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, represent 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; |
| |
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), (a)(1)(ii) and a(l)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement. |
| |
(2) |
That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and this 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. |
| |
(4) |
To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic 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 the Form F-3. |
| |
(5) |
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
| |
i. |
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
| |
i.. |
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that No statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
| |
(6) |
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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the 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. |
| |
(7) |
That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
| |
(8) |
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 provisions described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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. |

Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form F-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
