Share. See “Use of Proceeds.” The selling shareholder may sell all or a portion of its Ordinary Shares from time to time
in market transactions through any market on which our Ordinary Shares are then traded, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, and
at prices and on terms that will be determined by the then prevailing market price or at negotiated prices directly or through a broker
or brokers, who may act as agent or as principal or by a combination of such methods of sale. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Our Ordinary Shares are

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities
involves risks. Please carefully consider the risk factors described below and those contained in our periodic reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including those set forth under the caption “Item 3. Key Information - D. Risk Factors”
in our 2022 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully
consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus. You should be able to bear
a complete loss of your investment.
Our
principal executive offices, most of our research and development activities and other significant operations are located in Israel, and,
therefore, our results may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel, including the recent attack
by Hamas and other terrorist organizations from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war against them.
Our
executive offices, corporate headquarters and principal research and development facilities are located in Israel. In addition, all of
our officers and directors are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military and security conditions in Israel and
the surrounding region may directly affect our business. Any conflicts, political instability, terrorism, cyberattacks or any other hostilities
involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could adversely affect our
operations. Ongoing and revived hostilities in the Middle East or other Israeli political or economic factors, could harm our operations.
On
October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on
civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along
Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths,
injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and
a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks.
The intensity
and duration of Israel’s current war is difficult to predict, as are such war’s implications on our business and operations.
For example, in September 2023, we initiated our clinical trial for SCI-210 in pediatric patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the
Soroka University Medical Center located in Be’er Sheva, Israel. Due in part to its proximity to certain population centers near
the Gaza Strip that were targeted by Hamas and as the only major medical center in the south of Israel, the Soroka University Medical
Center has experienced a significant increase in patients since October 7, 2023. Furthermore, we are conducting our Phase IIb clinical
trial for SCI-110 for the treatment of Tourette Syndrome at three sites, including one site located in Israel at the Tel Aviv Sourasky
Medical Center. As of November 16, 2023, no patients have been enrolled in either our SCI-210 clinical trial at the Soroka University
Medical Center or our SCI-110 clinical trial at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and, as a result of the ongoing war, we may experience
delays in the enrollment of patients in the trials at these sites in Israel and these hospitals may be required to reallocate their resources
as a result of the ongoing war, which may cause an overall delay to the timeline for our SCI-210 and Phase IIb SCI-110 clinical trials.
While
none of our supply chains has been impacted since the war broke out on October 7, 2023 and all supplies for our current clinical trials
in Israel have been delivered, the ongoing war may create supply and demand irregularities in Israel’s economy in general or lead
to macroeconomic indications of a deterioration of Israel’s economic standing, which may have a material adverse effect on us and
our ability to effectively conduct our operations.
In
connection with the Israeli security cabinet’s declaration of war against Hamas and possible hostilities with other organizations,
several hundred thousand Israeli military reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service. While none of our employees
or consultants in Israel have been called to active military duty, we rely on service providers located in Israel and have entered into
certain agreements with Israeli counterparties, including a collaboration agreement related to research and development activities. Employees
of such service providers or contractual counterparties may be called for service in the current or future wars or other armed conflicts
with Hamas and such persons may be absent from their positions for a period of time. As of November 16, 2023, we have not been impacted
by any absences of personnel at our service providers or counterparties located in Israel. However, military service call ups that result
in absences of personnel from our service providers or contractual counterparties in Israel may disrupt our operations and absences for
an extended period of time may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Following the attack by Hamas
on Israel’s southern border, Hezbollah in Lebanon has also launched missile, rocket, and shooting attacks against Israeli military
sites, troops, and Israeli towns in northern Israel. In response to these attacks, the Israeli army has carried out a number of targeted
strikes on sites belonging to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. It is possible that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian
military organizations in the West Bank, as well as other hostile countries, such as Iran, will join the hostilities. Such hostilities
may include terror and missile attacks. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and
its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations. Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that
may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement
value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be
maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse
effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions
and could harm our results of operations.
Further,
in the past, the State of Israel and Israeli companies have been subjected to economic boycotts. Several countries still restrict business
with the State of Israel and with Israeli companies. These restrictive laws and policies may have an adverse impact on our operating results,
financial condition or the expansion of our business. A campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions has been undertaken against Israel,
which could also adversely impact our business.
Prior
to the Hamas attack in October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system. In response
to the foregoing developments, individuals, organizations and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns that
the proposed changes may negatively impact the business environment in Israel including due to reluctance of foreign investors to invest
or transact business in Israel as well as to increased currency fluctuations, downgrades in credit rating, increased interest rates,
increased volatility in securities markets, and other changes in macroeconomic conditions. The risk of such negative developments has
increased in light of the recent Hamas attacks and the war against Hamas declared by Israel, regardless of the proposed changes to the
judicial system and the related debate. To the extent that any of these negative developments do occur, they may have an adverse effect
on our business, our results of operations and our ability to raise additional funds, if deemed necessary by our management and board
of directors.
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements made
under “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” and elsewhere in this prospectus, including in our 2022 Annual Report,
incorporated by reference herein, and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, constitute forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “believe,” “should,”
“intend,” “project” or other similar words, but are not the only way these statements are identified.
These forward-looking statements
may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, statements that contain projections
of results of operations or of financial condition, expected capital needs and expenses, statements relating to the research, development,
completion and use of our products, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or
developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.
Forward-looking statements
are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on
assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions,
expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.
Important factors that could
cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
include, among other things:
| ● | our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional
securities and ability to continue as a going concern; |
| ● | our ability to advance the development our pharmaceutical
product candidates, including the anticipated starting and ending dates of our anticipated clinical trials; |
| ● | our assessment of the potential of our pharmaceutical product
candidates to treat certain indications; |
| ● | our ability to successfully receive approvals from the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory bodies, including approval to conduct clinical trials, the scope of those trials and
the prospects for regulatory approval of, or other regulatory action with respect to our product candidates, including the regulatory
pathway to be designated to our product candidates; |
| ● | the regulatory environment and changes in the health policies
and regimes in the countries in which we operate, including the impact of any changes in regulation and legislation that could affect
the pharmaceutical industry; |
| ● | our ability to commercialize our existing product candidates
and future sales of our existing product candidates or any other future potential product candidates; |
| ● | our ability to meet our expectations regarding the commercial
supply of our product candidates; |
| ● | our ability to integrate our new eCommerce operations business,
which focuses on the sale of hemp-based products on the Amazon.com marketplace; |
| ● | our ability to pursue a restructuring plan which involves
transferring our pharmaceutical activities to a new wholly-owned subsidiary and listing it on a leading stock exchange; |
| ● | the overall global economic environment; |
| ● | the impact of competition and new technologies; |
| ● | general market, political and economic conditions in the countries
in which we operate including these related to recent unrest and actual or potential armed conflict in Israel and other parts of the
Middle East, such as the recent attack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war against
them; |
| ● | projected capital expenditures and liquidity; |
| ● | changes in our strategy; |
| | |
| ● | those factors referred to in our most recent Annual Report
on Form 20-F “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors,” “Item 4. Information on the Company,” and “Item
5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” as well as in our Annual Report on Form 20-F generally, which is incorporated
by reference into this prospectus. |
These statements are only
current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s
actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking
statements. We discuss many of these risks in this prospectus in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” and other
risk factors contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions
of future events.
Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements.
Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.

SELLING SHAREHOLDER
On
October 11, 2023, we entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with an institutional investor
providing for the issuance, in a private placement, of an aggregate of 1,930,108 Units at a purchase price of $3.72 per Unit. Each Unit
consisted of 1,930,108 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 1,930,108 Ordinary Shares and an additional accompanying Pre-Funded Warrant
to purchase up to 1,930,108 Ordinary Shares.
The Ordinary Shares being
registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus are issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants acquired by the selling shareholder
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. We have agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part covering the
resale of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. We are registering the Ordinary Shares in order to
permit the selling shareholder to offer the Ordinary Shares for resale from time to time.
Other than the relationship
as purchaser under the Purchase Agreement and described herein, to our knowledge, the selling shareholder is not an employee or supplier
of ours or our affiliates. Within the past three years, other than the relationship described herein, the selling shareholder has not
held a position as an officer a director of ours, nor has it had any material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates.
All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling shareholder, unless otherwise noted. The Ordinary Shares
being offered are being registered to permit public secondary trading of such Ordinary Shares and the selling shareholder may offer all
or part of the Ordinary Shares it owns for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling shareholder has no family
relationships with our officers, other directors or controlling shareholders.
A selling shareholder who
is an affiliate of a broker-dealer and any participating broker-dealer are deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts given to any such selling shareholder
or broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. To our knowledge, the selling shareholder
is not a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer. Aegis Capital Corp. was the placement agent for this investment and is a broker-dealer registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of FINRA.
The term “selling shareholder”
also includes any transferees, pledgees, donees, or other successors in interest to the selling shareholder named in the table below.
Unless otherwise indicated, to our knowledge, the selling shareholder named in the table below has sole voting and investment power (subject
to applicable community property laws) with respect to the Ordinary Shares set forth opposite its name. We will file a supplement to this
prospectus (or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, if necessary) to name successors
to the selling shareholder who are able to use this prospectus to resell the Ordinary Shares registered hereby.
The table below lists the
selling shareholder and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares held by the selling shareholder.
The second column lists the
number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership represented by the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the
selling shareholder, based on its ownership of Ordinary Shares, as of October 30, 2023.
The third column lists the
total Ordinary Shares being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholder.
The fourth column assumes
the sale of all of the Ordinary Shares offered by the selling shareholder pursuant to this prospectus and lists the percentage ownership
represented by the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the selling shareholder assuming the sale of all the Ordinary Shares offered
by the selling shareholder pursuant to this prospectus. The selling shareholder may sell all, some or none of its shares in this offering.

(1) |
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or
investment power with respect to securities. Ordinary Shares subject to warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable on or before October 30,
2023, are counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of the selling shareholder holding such options or warrants. |
(2) |
Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 523,778 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of October 30, 2023. |
(3) |
The securities are directly held by Generating Alpha Ltd., a company domiciled and registered in Saint Kitts and Nevis, and may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by Maria Cano, as director of Generating Alpha Ltd., and Maria Cano disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of her pecuniary interest therein. The address of Generating Alpha Ltd. is Hunkins Waterfront Plaza, Suite 556, Main Street, Charlestown, Nevis. |
|
|
(4) |
The percentage gives effect to the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation set forth in the selling shareholder’s Pre-Funded Warrant. |
|
|
(5) |
Includes 3,860,216 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants. The Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which prohibits Generating Alpha Ltd. from exercising any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that, following such exercise, Generating Alpha Ltd.’s ownership of our Ordinary Shares would exceed the ownership limitation. |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholder of
the securities and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of the securities
covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded
or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following
methods when selling securities:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which
the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell
the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account; |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange; |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; |
| ● | settlement of short sales; |
| ● | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the
selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging
transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling shareholder may
also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under
this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by
the selling shareholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the selling shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to
be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary
brokerage commission in compliance with Rule 2440 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and in the case of a principal
transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale
of the securities or interests therein, the selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
shareholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out his short positions, or loan or pledge the securities
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling shareholder and
any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each selling shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We are required to pay certain
fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholder against
certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until all of the securities have been sold by the selling shareholder pursuant to this prospectus or may otherwise be sold pursuant
Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any condition. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may
not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification
requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the
resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Ordinary Shares for the applicable restricted
period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholder will be subject
to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing
of purchases and sales of the Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available
to the selling shareholder and have informed it of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the
time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
Offer Restrictions Outside the United States
Other than in the United States,

action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor

or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations
of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions
relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation
of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under
the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part, a substantial majority of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult
to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and a substantial of our directors and officers
are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may
not be collectible within the United States.
We have been informed by our
legal counsel in Israel, Meitar | Law Offices, that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted
in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning Israel is not the
most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In Israeli courts, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can
be a time-consuming and costly process and certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject to specified time
limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is
non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including
a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that among other things:
| ● | the judgment was
rendered by a court which was, according to the laws of the state of the court, competent to render the judgment; |
| ● | the obligation imposed by the judgment is enforceable according
to the rules relating to the enforceability of judgments in Israel and the substance of the judgment is not contrary to public policy;
and |
| ● | the judgment is executory in the state in which it was given. |
Even if these conditions are met, an Israeli court
will not declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable if:
| ● | the judgment was given in a state whose laws do not provide
for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases); |
| ● | the enforcement of the judgment is likely to prejudice the
sovereignty or security of the State of Israel; |
| ● | the judgment was obtained by fraud; |
| ● | the opportunity given to the defendant to bring its arguments
and evidence before the court was not reasonable in the opinion of the Israeli court; |
| ● | the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render
it according to the laws of private international law as they apply in Israel; |
| ● | the judgment is contradictory to another judgment that was
given in the same matter between the same parties and that is still valid; or |
| ● | at the time the action was brought in the foreign court, a
lawsuit in the same matter and between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel. |
If a foreign judgment is enforced
by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred
out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli
court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment,
but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated
in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli
regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

a registration statement on Form F-3 that we filed with the SEC relating to the securities offered by this prospectus, which includes
additional information. You should refer to the registration statement and its exhibits for additional information. Whenever we make reference

in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to their purchases and sales of shares. In addition, we are not required to file annual,
quarterly and current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are
registered under the Exchange Act. However, we will file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable
time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public
accounting firm, and may furnish to the SEC, on Form 6-K, unaudited interim financial information.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the 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 Articles of Association contain
such a provision. An Israeli company may not exculpate a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution
to shareholders.
An Israeli company may indemnify
an office holder in respect of the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed as an office holder, either in advance
of an event or following an event provided a provision authorizing such indemnification is contained in its articles of association:
| ● | 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 events and amount or criteria; |
| ● | reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred
by the office holder (a) 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, such as a criminal penalty, 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 (b) in connection with a monetary sanction; |
| ● | reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred
by the office holder or imposed by a court (i) in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf or by a third
party, or (ii) in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or (iii) as a result of a conviction
for a crime 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. |
An Israeli company may insure
an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed 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, 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 to the company or to a third
party, including a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; |
| ● | a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor
of a third party; |
| ● | a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor
of a third party harmed by a breach in an administrative proceeding; and |
| ● | expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal
fees, incurred by the office holder as a result of an administrative proceeding instituted against him or her, pursuant to certain provisions
of the Israeli Securities Law. |
An Israeli company may
not indemnify or insure an office holder against any of the following:
| ● | a breach of the duty of loyalty, except 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 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 must be approved by the compensation committee, the board of directors
(and, with respect to directors and the chief executive officer, by the shareholders). However, under regulations promulgated under the
Companies Law, the insurance of office holders shall not require shareholder approval and may be approved by only the compensation committee,
if the engagement terms are determined in accordance with the company’s compensation policy and that policy was approved by the
shareholders by the same special majority required to approve a compensation policy, provided that the insurance policy is on market terms
and the insurance policy is not likely to materially impact the company’s profitability, assets or obligations.
Our Articles of Association
allow us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders for any liability imposed on them as a consequence of an act (including
any omission) which was performed by virtue of being an office holder. Our office holders are currently covered by a directors and officers’
liability insurance policy.
We have entered into agreements
with each of our directors and executive officers exculpating them in advance from liability to us for damages caused to us as a result
of a breach of duty of care, and undertaking to indemnify them. This exculpation and indemnification is limited both in terms of amount
and coverage and it covers certain amounts regarding administrative proceedings insurable or indemnifiable under the Companies Law and
our Articles of Association.
In the opinion of the SEC,
however, indemnification of directors and office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, is against public policy and
therefore unenforceable.
There is no pending litigation
or proceeding against any of our office holders as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened
litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any office holder.

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 such post-effective amendment 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.
(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) | If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B: |
| A. | 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 |
| B. | 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 of 1933 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 that 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. |
| (ii) | If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying
on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use. |
(6) That, for the purpose
of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities
the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to
such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will
be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared
by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating
to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned
registrant; and |
| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made
by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
(b) 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 foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
