Investment by Individual Accredited Investors

 

On November 30, 2023, the Board approved the Company’s entry into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the sale by the Company to certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), in an unregistered private transaction, of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,600,000, and warrants (the “Warrants”, and together with the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, the “Transaction Documents”)) exercisable into one ordinary share, no par value per share, of the Company (an “Ordinary Share”) for each Ordinary Share issuable to the Investors upon the conversion of the principal amount of the Notes, assuming conversion on the respective issuance dates of the Notes.

 

The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is convertible into Ordinary Shares at a rate of the lower of (i) $0.25 and (ii) the product of 75% multiplied by the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares in the five (5) trading days prior to the date of conversion, provided that such conversion rate shall not be lower than $0.15. The Notes do not bear interest and are repayable on the three-month anniversary of their issuance, subject to earlier conversion by the Investors. The Investors have the right to convert the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time following their issuance.

 

The Warrants are exercisable until January 1, 2027 for an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Ordinary Shares as of the respective issuance dates of the Warrants.

 

The conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants will be limited to the extent that, upon the conversion or exercise, an Investor and its affiliates would in aggregate beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Ordinary Shares.

  

The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Transaction Documents and, by its nature, is not comprehensive. The Transaction Documents contain customary representations, warranties and covenants that the parties made to, solely for the benefit of, each other in the context of all of the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties thereto.

 

The information in this Report on Form 6-K, including in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise set forth herein or as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
