Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Valens Semiconductor Ltd. filed Amendment No. 1 to its Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025. The amendment is narrow and administrative.

It is being filed solely to replace the prior consent of Kesselman & Kesselman, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, so that the new consent expressly refers to Valens’ Registration Statement on Form F-3 No. 333-260390.

The company is also providing new certifications from its chief executive officer and chief financial officer under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The amendment does not update or change any other disclosures in the original annual report.

Form 20-F/A regulatory
"This Amendment No. 1 to Form 20-F (this “Amendment”) amends the annual report on Form 20-F of Valens Semiconductor Ltd."
Form 20-F/A is an amended annual filing that a foreign company submits to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to correct, clarify, or add information to a previously filed Form 20-F. For investors, an amendment matters because it signals that earlier disclosures changed or were incomplete—like a corrected instruction manual—and those updates can alter how you judge the company’s finances, risks, governance or legal standing, potentially affecting the stock’s value.
Registration Statement on Form F-3 regulatory
"The consent included in the Original Report omitted reference to our Registration Statement on Form F-3 (No. 333-260390)."
A registration statement on Form F-3 is a streamlined filing used by eligible foreign companies to register securities for sale in the U.S., often as a “shelf” that lets them offer shares quickly when market conditions are right. For investors it matters because it signals that the company can raise capital on short notice—potentially increasing liquidity but also the risk of share dilution if new stock is issued—similar to a company keeping a pre-approved credit line ready to use.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 regulatory
"Principal Executive Officer Certification Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002."
Inline XBRL technical
"Inline XBRL Instance Document."
Inline XBRL is a file format for financial filings that embeds machine-readable data tags directly inside the human-readable report, so the same document can be read by people and parsed by software. For investors it makes extracting, comparing and verifying financial numbers faster and more reliable—like a grocery list where each item also has a barcode—reducing manual errors and speeding up analysis.
Insider Trading Policy financial
"Valens Semiconductor Ltd. Insider Trading Policy (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 11.1... )."
A written set of rules that tells employees, executives and board members what information they may not use to buy or sell a company's stock and when trading is allowed. Think of it as a playbook or house rules that prevent people with secret knowledge from getting an unfair advantage; it matters to investors because it helps protect fair markets, preserves trust in management, and reduces the risk of legal penalties that can hurt a company’s value.
