Following the Company’s unsuccessful efforts to sell its assets or raise more capital to continue its operations, on February 20, 2023, the board of directors of the Company reached the conclusion that the Company is insolvent and lacks the funds to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company’s board of directors resolved to cease all activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, terminate the employment of all remaining employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, apply for liquidation procedures of the Company in Israel by appointment of a third-party trustee, in accordance with applicable law, and commence applicable liquidation, assignment and/or insolvency proceedings for each of the subsidiaries of the Company (collectively the “Insolvency Proceedings”).

 

As a result of the Insolvency Proceedings, the Company has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, effective upon filing of these Post-Effective Amendments, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statements, if any, as of the date hereof. Effective upon filing of these Post-Effective Amendments, the Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities and the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements.

 

The Company, by filing these Post-Effective Amendments, hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and removes from registration any and all Ordinary Shares registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof. This filing is made in accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in Part II of each Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
