Overview
Microbot
is a pre-clinical medical device company specializing in the research, design and development of next generation robotic endoluminal
surgery devices targeting the minimally invasive surgery space. Microbot is primarily focused on leveraging its micro-robotic technologies
with the goal of redefining surgical robotics while improving surgical outcomes for patients.
Microbot’s
current technological platforms, ViRobTM, TipCATTM and LIBERTY™ and certain CardioSert assets, are comprised
of proprietary innovative technologies. Using the ViRob platform, Microbot is currently developing the Self Cleaning Shunt, or SCSTM,
for the treatment of hydrocephalus and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, or NPH. Utilizing the LIBERTY and CardioSert platforms, Microbot
is developing the first ever fully disposable robot for various endovascular interventional procedures. In addition, the Company is focused
on the development of a Multi Generation Pipeline Portfolio utilizing all of its proprietary technologies.
Microbot
has a patent portfolio of 42 issued/allowed patents and 23 patent applications pending worldwide.
Technological
Platforms
ViRob
The
ViRob is an autonomous crawling micro-robot which can be controlled remotely or within the body. Its miniature dimensions are expected
to allow it to navigate and crawl in different natural spaces within the human body, including blood vessels, the digestive tract and
the respiratory system as well as artificial spaces such as shunts, catheters, ports, etc. Its unique structure is expected to give it
the ability to move in tight spaces and curved passages as well as the ability to remain within the human body for prolonged time. The
SCS product was developed using the ViRob technology.
TipCAT
The
TipCAT is a disposable self-propelled locomotive device that is specially designed to advance in tubular anatomies. The TipCAT is a mechanism
comprising a series of interconnected balloons at the device’s tip that provides the TipCAT with its forward locomotion capability.
The device can self-propel within natural tubular lumens such as the blood vessels, respiratory and the urinary and GI tracts. A single
channel of air/fluid supply sequentially inflates and deflates a series of balloons creating an inchworm like forward motion. The TipCAT
maintains a standard working channel for treatments. Unlike standard access devices such as guidewires, catheters for vascular access
and endoscopes, the TipCAT does not need to be pushed into the patient’s lumen using external pressure; rather, it will gently
advance itself through the organ’s anatomy. As a result, the TipCAT is designed to be able to reach every part of the lumen under
examination regardless of the topography, be less operator dependent, and greatly reduce the likelihood of damage to lumen structure.
The TipCAT thus offers functionality features equivalent to modern tubular access devices, along with advantages associated with its
physiologically adapted self-propelling mechanism, flexibility, and design.
CardioSert
Technology
On
April 8, 2018, Microbot acquired a patent-protected technology from CardioSert Ltd., a privately-held medical device company based in
Israel that was part of a technological incubator supported by the Israel Innovation Authorities. The CardioSert technology contemplates
a combination of a guidewire and microcatheter, technologies that are broadly used for surgery within a tubular organ or structure such
as a blood vessel or duct. The CardioSert technology features a unique guidewire delivery system with steering and stiffness control
capabilities which when developed is expected to give the physician the ability to control the tip curvature, to adjust tip load to varying
degrees of stiffness in a gradually continuous manner. The CardioSert technology was originally developed to support interventional cardiologists
in crossing chronic total occlusions (CTO) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and has the potential to be used
in other spaces and applications, such as peripheral intervention, and neurosurgery.
LIBERTY
On
January 13, 2020, Microbot unveiled what it believes is the world’s first fully disposable robotic system for use in Endovascular
Interventional procedures, such as cardiovascular, peripheral and neurovascular. The LIBERTY robotic system features a unique compact
design with the capability to be operated remotely, reduce radiation exposure and physical strain to the physician, reduce the risk of
cross contamination, as well as the potential to eliminate the use of multiple consumables when used with its “One & Done”
capabilities, which would be based in part on the CardioSert platform or possibly other guidewire/microcatheter technologies.
LIBERTY
is designed to maneuver guidewires and over-the-wire devices (such as microcatheters) within the body’s vasculature. It eliminates
the need for extensive capital equipment requiring dedicated Cath-lab rooms as well as dedicated staff. In addition, when combined with
CardioSert technology or possibly other guidewire/microcatheter technologies, it is being designed to streamline Cath-lab procedures
with our proprietary “One & Done” tool that combines guidewire and microcatheter into a single device. With control over
tip curvature and stiffness for maneuverability and access – and without the need for constant tool exchanges – the “One
& Done” feature, when integrated into the LIBERTY device, may drastically reduce procedure time and costs while enhancing the
operator experience.
On
August 17, 2020, Microbot announced the successful conclusion of its feasibility animal study using the LIBERTY robotic system. The study
met all of its end points with no intraoperative adverse events, which supports Microbot’s objectives to allow physicians to conduct
a catheter-based procedure from outside the catheterization laboratory (cath-lab), avoiding radiation exposure, physical strain and the
risk of cross contamination. The study was performed by two leading physicians in the neuro vascular and peripheral vascular intervention
spaces, and the results demonstrated robust navigation capabilities, intuitive usability and accurate deployment of embolic agents, most
of which was conducted remotely from the cath-lab’s control room.
We
are continuously exploring and evaluating additional innovative guidewire/microcatheter technologies to be integrated and combined with
the LIBERTY robotic platform.
Recent
Developments
In
June 2021, we announced that the Israel Intellectual Property Office issued a Notice of Allowance for our ‘One & Done’
guidewire technology relating to the LIBERTY device. The allowed application covers our double guidewire technology that has already
been granted in Europe and Japan.
In
June 2021, we announced that Giora Weisz, MD joined our Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Weisz is a practicing interventional cardiologist
and clinical researcher who has pioneered novel robotic-enhanced coronary interventions, as well as navigation and positioning technologies.
His areas of expertise include cardiac catheterization, coronary artery disease and diagnostic angiography, which make his assistance
an asset to Microbot as it continues to develop the LIBERTYTM Robotic System.

Corporate
Information
Our
Company was incorporated on August 2, 1988 in the State of Delaware under the name Cellular Transplants, Inc. The original Certificate
of Incorporation was restated on February 14, 1992 to change the name of the Company to CytoTheraputics, Inc. On May 24, 2000, the Certificate
of Incorporation as restated was further amended to change the name of the Company to StemCells, Inc. On November 28, 2016, C&RD
Israel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its merger with and into Microbot Medical Ltd., an Israeli corporation,
with Microbot Israel Ltd. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or the Merger. Prior to the Merger, the Company was
a biopharmaceutical company that operated in one segment: the research, development, and commercialization of stem cell therapeutics
and related technologies. Immediately following the closing of the Merger, the business of Microbot Medical Ltd. became our sole focus.
In connection with the Merger, we also changed our name from StemCells, Inc. to Microbot Medical Inc. On November 29, 2016, the stock
of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MBOT”.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 25 Recreation Park Drive, Unit 108, Hingham, Massachusetts 02043. Microbot also has an executive
office at 6 Hayozma Street, Yoqneam, P.O.B. 242, Israel 2069204. Our telephone number is (781) 875-3605. We maintain an Internet website
at www.microbotmedical.com. The information contained on, connected to or that can be accessed via our website is not part of this prospectus
supplement. We have included our website address in this prospectus supplement as an inactive textual reference only and not as an active
hyperlink.
Our
Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports filed or
furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, are available free

such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.
Implications
of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We
are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and
have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies, including certain of the
reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part. As a result, the information
that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity
interests.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our shares of common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors
described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented and updated by subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and
current reports on Form 8-K that we have filed or will filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other documents incorporated
by reference to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act and all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus,
including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before investing in our common stock. If any of these risks materialize,
our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common
stock could decline, and you may lose some or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing
us. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations. If any
of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the trading
price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks
Related to This Offering
Our
management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds,
and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
Our
management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from any offering by us and could use them for purposes other
than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard
to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds
are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return
for Microbot.
You
may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
In
order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or
other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by any investors in this offering,
and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per
share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future
transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by any investors in this offering.
Sales
of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress
the market price of our common stock.
Sales
of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets could depress the market price of our common stock and impair
our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our
common stock would have on the market price of our common stock.
We
do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in
our common stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of our common stock.
At
present time, we intend to use available funds to finance our operations. Accordingly, we have no present intention of paying any cash
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Therefore, any return on your investment in our common stock must come from
increases in the fair market value and trading price of our common stock.
The
shares of common stock offered under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus may be sold in “at the market”
offerings, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors
who purchase shares under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus at different times will likely pay different
prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary
the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience declines in
the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
The
actual number of shares we will issue under the sales agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.
Subject
to certain limitations in the sales agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice to
Wainwright at any time throughout the term of the sales agreement. The number of shares that are sold by Wainwright after we deliver
a sales notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the common stock during the sales period and limits we set with Wainwright.
Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period,
it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares, if any, that will ultimately be issued
You
will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock that you purchase in this
offering.
The
shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices; however, the assumed public offering price
of our common stock is substantially higher than the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore,
investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the as
adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 1,336,898 shares of our common
stock are sold at an assumed public offering price of $7.48 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock
on The Nasdaq Capital Market on June 8, 2021, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10,000,000, and after deducting
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, new investors in this offering will experience immediate dilution of
$3.70 per share, representing the difference between the assumed public offering price and our as adjusted net tangible
book value per share after giving effect to this offering. See “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution
you would incur if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
From
time to time, we may sell shares of our common stock pursuant to the sales agreement with Wainwright, which may result in aggregate gross
proceeds of up to $10,000,000, or approximately $[9,550,000] in proceeds net of Wainwright’s fee and other offering expenses
payable by the Company. Because there is no minimum amount of shares of our common stock that must be sold pursuant to our sales agreement
with Wainwright, the actual number of shares of our common stock sold and aggregate net proceeds to us are not presently determinable
and may be substantially less than the amounts set forth above.
We
currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for the continuous development and regulatory activities for our SCS device
for the treatment of hydrocephalus and NPH; continue the development of our LIBERTY robotic system, including its expansion through addition
of complementary assets to it either through internal development, in-license or acquisitions; expand and develop additional applications
deriving from our existing IP portfolio, either through internal development, in-license or acquisition; and for working capital and
other general corporate purposes. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion in the allocation and use of the net proceeds
of this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds. Pending
application of the net proceeds for the purposes as described above, we expect to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing
securities, investment grade securities, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
DILUTION
If
you invest in our shares of common stock, your interest in our common stock will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference
between the public offering price and the adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.
Net tangible book value on March 31, 2021, was approximately $22,330,000 or $3.14 per share. “Net tangible book value”
is total assets minus the sum of liabilities and intangible assets. “Net tangible book value per share” is net tangible
book value divided by the total number of shares outstanding.
After
giving effect to the sale by us in this offering of 1,336,898 shares of common stock at an assumed public offering price of $7.48
per share (the closing price of our common stock as quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market on June 8, 2021), and after deducting
the estimated commissions and estimated offering expenses that we will pay, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of
March 31, 2021 would have been approximately $31,879,997, or $3.78 per share of common stock. This amount
represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.64 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate
dilution of $3.70 per share to purchasers in this offering.

value per share after this offering by $3.85, assuming the number of shares of common stock offered by us remains the same and
after deducting the estimated commissions and estimated offering expenses that we will pay, while diluting new investors by $4.13
per share. A $0.50 decrease in the assumed public offering price of the shares of common stock would decrease our as adjusted net
tangible book value per share after this offering by $3.70, assuming the number of shares of common stock offered by us remains
the same and after deducting the estimated commissions and estimated offering expenses that we will pay, while diluting new
investors by $3.28 per share.

through Wainwright as our agent for the offer and sale of the common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. The actual dollar amount and number of shares of common stock we sell pursuant to the sales agreement will be dependent on,
among other things, market conditions and our capital requirements. Wainwright may sell the common stock by any method deemed to be an
“at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital
Market or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or in negotiated
transactions. If we and Wainwright agree on any method of distribution other than sales of shares of our common stock into the Nasdaq
Capital Market or another existing trading market in the United States at market prices, we will file a further prospectus supplement
providing all information about such offering as required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. We may instruct Wainwright not to
sell our common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. We or Wainwright may
suspend the offering of our common stock upon notice and subject to other conditions.
Each
time that we wish to sell common stock under the sales agreement, we will provide Wainwright with a placement notice describing the number
of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may
be sold in any one day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made and other sales parameters as we deem appropriate.
Upon
receipt of a placement notice from us, and subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement, Wainwright has agreed to use its
commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified.
The settlement between us and Wainwright of each sale will occur on the second trading day following the date on which the sale was made
or on such other date that is agreed upon by us and Wainwright in connection with a particular transaction. The obligation of Wainwright
under the sales agreement to sell our common stock pursuant to a placement notice is subject to a number of conditions.
We
will pay Wainwright commissions for its services in acting as agent in the sale of our common stock. Wainwright will be entitled to compensation
at a commission rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price per share sold. Wainwright may also receive customary brokerage
commissions from purchasers of the common stock in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121. Wainwright may effect sales to or through dealers,
and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from Wainwright and/or purchasers of shares
of common stock for whom they may act as agents or to whom they may sell as principal. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Wainwright
for fees and disbursements of its legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $50,000. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering,
excluding compensation and reimbursements payable to Wainwright under the terms of the sales agreement, will be approximately $100,000.
In
connection with the sale of our common stock on our behalf pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, Wainwright
will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation paid to Wainwright will
be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Wainwright against
certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
To
the extent required by Regulation M, Wainwright will not engage in any market making activities involving our shares of common stock
while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement.
Wainwright
and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which
services they may in the future receive customary fees.
Sales
of our common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be settled through the
facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Wainwright may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds
to be received in escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
We
will report at least quarterly the number of shares of our common stock sold through Wainwright, as our agent, in this offering and,
to the extent applicable, the number of shares of our common stock issued upon settlement of any placement notice, and the net proceeds
to us in connection with such sales of our common stock.
The
offering of our common stock pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the sale of all of our common stock
pursuant to this prospectus supplement, or (ii) termination of the sales agreement as permitted therein.
Our
common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MBOT.”
This
is a brief summary of the material provisions of the sales agreement and does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and
conditions. We are filing a copy of the sales agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K concurrently
with the filing of this prospectus supplement.

Overview
Microbot
is a pre-clinical medical device company specializing in the research, design and development of next generation robotic endoluminal
surgery devices targeting the minimally invasive surgery space. Microbot is primarily focused on leveraging its micro-robotic
technologies with the goal of redefining surgical robotics while improving surgical outcomes for patients.
Microbot’s
current technological platforms, ViRobTM, TipCATTM and Liberty™ (including certain CardioSert assets),
are comprised of proprietary innovative technologies. Using the ViRob platform, Microbot is currently developing the Self Cleaning
Shunt, or SCSTM, for the treatment of hydrocephalus and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, or NPH. Utilizing the Liberty
and CardioSert platforms, Microbot is developing the first ever fully disposable robot for various endovascular interventional
procedures. In addition, the Company is focused on the development of a Multi Generation Pipeline Portfolio utilizing all of its
proprietary technologies.
Microbot
has a patent portfolio of 40 issued/allowed patents and 23 patent applications pending worldwide.
Technological
Platforms
ViRob
The
ViRob is an autonomous crawling micro-robot which can be controlled remotely or within the body. Its miniature dimensions are
expected to allow it to navigate and crawl in different natural spaces within the human body, including blood vessels, the digestive
tract and the respiratory system as well as artificial spaces such as shunts, catheters, ports, etc. Its unique structure is expected
to give it the ability to move in tight spaces and curved passages as well as the ability to remain within the human body for
prolonged time. The SCS product was developed using the ViRob technology.
TipCAT
The
TipCAT is a disposable self-propelled locomotive device that is specially designed to advance in tubular anatomies. The TipCAT
is a mechanism comprising a series of interconnected balloons at the device’s tip that provides the TipCAT with its forward
locomotion capability. The device can self-propel within natural tubular lumens such as the blood vessels, respiratory and the
urinary and GI tracts. A single channel of air/fluid supply sequentially inflates and deflates a series of balloons creating an
inchworm like forward motion. The TipCAT maintains a standard working channel for treatments. Unlike standard access devices such
as guidewires, catheters for vascular access and endoscopes, the TipCAT does not need to be pushed into the patient’s lumen
using external pressure; rather, it will gently advance itself through the organ’s anatomy. As a result, the TipCAT is designed
to be able to reach every part of the lumen under examination regardless of the topography, be less operator dependent, and greatly
reduce the likelihood of damage to lumen structure. The TipCAT thus offers functionality features equivalent to modern tubular
access devices, along with advantages associated with its physiologically adapted self-propelling mechanism, flexibility, and
design.
CardioSert
On
May 25, 2018, Microbot acquired a patent-protected technology from CardioSert Ltd., a privately-held medical device company based
in Israel that was part of a technological incubator supported by the Israel Innovation Authorities. The CardioSert technology
contemplates a combination of a guidewire and microcatheter, technologies that are broadly used for surgery within a tubular organ
or structure such as a blood vessel or duct. The CardioSert technology features a unique guidewire delivery system with steering
and stiffness control capabilities which when developed is expected to give the physician the ability to control the tip curvature,
to adjust tip load to varying degrees of stiffness in a gradually continuous manner. The CardioSert technology was originally
developed to support interventional cardiologists in crossing chronic total occlusions (CTO) during percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) procedures and has the potential to be used in other spaces and applications, such as peripheral intervention, and neurosurgery.
Liberty
On
January 13, 2020, Microbot unveiled what it believes is the world’s first fully disposable robotic system for use in Endovascular
Interventional procedures, such as cardiovascular, peripheral and neurovascular. The Liberty robotic system features a unique
compact design with the capability to be operated remotely, reduce radiation exposure and physical strain to the physician, as
well as the potential to eliminate the use of multiple consumables through its “One & Done” capabilities, based
in part on the CardioSert platform.
Liberty
is designed to maneuver guidewires and over-the-wire devices (such as microcatheters) within the body’s vasculature. It
eliminates the need for extensive capital equipment requiring dedicated Cath-lab rooms as well as dedicated staff. In addition,
it is being designed to streamline Cath-lab procedures with our proprietary “One & Done” tool that combines guidewire
and microcatheter into a single device. With control over tip curvature and stiffness for maneuverability and access and
without the need for constant tool exchanges – the “One & Done” feature of Liberty may drastically reduce
procedure time and costs while enhancing the operator experience.
On
August 17, 2020, Microbot announced the successful conclusion of its feasibility animal study using the Liberty robotic system.
The study met all of its end points with no intraoperative adverse events, which supports Microbot’s objectives to allow
physicians to conduct a catheter-based procedure from outside the catheterization laboratory (cath-lab), avoiding radiation exposure,
physical strain and the risk of cross contamination. The study was performed by two leading physicians in the neuro vascular and
peripheral vascular intervention spaces, and the results demonstrated robust navigation capabilities, intuitive usability and
accurate deployment of embolic agents, most of which was conducted remotely from the cath-lab’s control room.
We
are continuously exploring and evaluating additional innovative guidewire/microcatheter technologies to be integrated and combined
with the Liberty robotic platform.

Our
Corporate Information
Our
Company was incorporated on August 2, 1988 in the State of Delaware under the name Cellular Transplants, Inc. The original Certificate
of Incorporation was restated on February 14, 1992 to change the name of the Company to CytoTheraputics, Inc. On May 24, 2000,
the Certificate of Incorporation as restated was further amended to change the name of the Company to StemCells, Inc. On November
28, 2016, C&RD Israel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its merger with and into Microbot Medical
Ltd., an Israeli corporation, with Microbot Israel Ltd. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or the Merger.
Prior to the Merger, the Company was a biopharmaceutical company that operated in one segment: the research, development, and
commercialization of stem cell therapeutics and related technologies. Immediately following the closing of the Merger, the business
of Microbot Medical Ltd. became our sole focus. In connection with the Merger, we also changed our name from StemCells, Inc. to
Microbot Medical Inc. On November 29, 2016, the stock of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol
“MBOT”.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves significant risk. The prospectus supplement applicable to each offering of our securities may contain
a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in Microbot. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities,
you should consider the “Risk Factors” included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable
prospectus supplement, including the risk factors incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as
updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act filed after such annual report. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional
risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations. If any of these
risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the trading
price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus include forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that relate
to future events or our future operations or financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases,
you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “intends”,
“expects”, “plans”, “targets”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”,
“will”, “would”, “predicts”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative
of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for such forward-looking
statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, we note that a variety of factors could cause actual results
and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.
Such
statements include, without limitation, all statements as to expectation or belief and statements as to our future results of
operations; the progress of our research, product development and clinical programs; the need for, and timing of, additional capital
and capital expenditures; partnering prospects; costs of manufacturing products; the protection of, and the need for, additional
intellectual property rights; effects of regulations; the need for additional facilities; and potential market opportunities.
Our actual results may vary materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements because of risks to which we are
subject, including the fact that additional trials will be required to confirm the safety and demonstrate the efficacy of our
planned products; uncertainty as to whether the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, or other regulatory authorities
will clear our proposed products for commercialization and sale; the risk that our planned clinical trials or studies could be
substantially delayed beyond their expected dates or cause us to incur substantial unanticipated costs; uncertainties in our ability
to obtain the capital resources needed to continue our current research and development operations and to conduct the research,
preclinical development and clinical trials necessary for regulatory approvals; the uncertainty regarding the outcome of our clinical
trials or studies we may conduct in the future; the uncertainty regarding the validity and enforceability of the patents underlying
our proposed products; the uncertainty as to whether the Company’s preclinical studies will be replicated in humans; the
uncertainty whether any of our proposed products will prove clinically safe and effective; the uncertainty of whether we will
achieve significant revenue from product sales or become profitable; obsolescence of our technologies; competition from third
parties; intellectual property rights of third parties; litigation risks; legal and regulatory developments in Israel; and other
risks to which we are subject.
We
have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. We believe that the
assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, based on information available to us
on the date hereof, but we cannot assure you that these assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct or that we
will take any action that we may presently be planning. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown
risks and uncertainties. We have included important cautionary statements in this prospectus, in the documents incorporated by
reference in this prospectus, and in the sections in our periodic reports, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K,
entitled “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations,” as supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or our Current Reports
on Form 8-K, discussing some of the factors that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements that we are making including, but are not limited to, research and product development uncertainties,
regulatory policies and approval requirements, competition from other similar businesses, market and general economic factors.
In

USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
cannot assure you that we will receive any proceeds in connection with securities which may be offered pursuant to this prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of securities
under this prospectus for our operations, our further development and commercialization of our product candidates, other general
corporate purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, working capital, intellectual property protection and enforcement,
capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness and collaborations, and the costs of acquiring, licensing or investing in new
and existing businesses, product candidates and technologies. We have not determined the amounts we plan to spend on any of the
areas listed above or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the
net proceeds, if any, we receive in connection with securities offered pursuant to this prospectus for any purpose. Pending application
of the net proceeds as described above, we may initially invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade or interest-bearing
securities in accordance with our cash-management policies. Additional information on the use of proceeds from the sale of securities
offered by this prospectus may be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to that offering.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
may offer securities under this prospectus from time to time pursuant to public offerings through one or more placement agents
or underwriters, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities (1) through
underwriters or dealers, (2) through agents or (3) directly to one or more purchasers, or through a combination of such methods.
We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at:
|
|
●
|
a
fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;
|
|
|
●
|
market
prices prevailing at the time of sale;
|
|
|
●
|
prices
related to the prevailing market prices; or
|
|
|
●
|
negotiated
prices.
|
We
may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit
offers to purchase the securities from time to time, and may enter into arrangements for “at the market,” equity line
or similar transactions. We will name in a prospectus supplement any underwriter or agent involved in the offer or sale of the
securities.
If
we utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealer,
as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the
time of resale.
If
we utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement
with the underwriter at the time of sale, and we will provide the name of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement which the
underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the
purchasers of the securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting
discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those
dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.
With
respect to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions and block trades, we will provide in the applicable prospectus
supplement information regarding any compensation we pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of
the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. Underwriters,
dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and
agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required
to make in respect thereof.
If
so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or other persons acting as our agents
to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for
payment and delivery on the date stated in each applicable prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for an amount not less
than, and the aggregate amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than, the respective amounts
stated in each applicable prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial
and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other
institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will not be subject to any conditions
except that:
|
|
●
|
the
purchase by an institution of the securities covered under that contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under
the laws of the jurisdiction to which that institution is subject; and
|
|
|
●
|
if
the securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account, the underwriters shall have
purchased such securities not sold for delayed delivery. The underwriters and other persons acting as our agents will not
have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts.
|
One
or more firms, referred to as “remarketing firms,” may also offer or sell the securities, if a prospectus supplement
so indicates, in connection with a remarketing arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their
own accounts or as our agents. These remarketing firms will offer or sell the securities in accordance with the terms of the securities.
Each prospectus supplement will identify and describe any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and
will describe the remarketing firm’s compensation. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with
the securities they remarket. Remarketing firms may be entitled under agreements that may be entered into with us to indemnification
by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions
with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
Certain
underwriters may use this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement for offers and sales related to market-making
transactions in the securities. These underwriters may act as principal or agent in these transactions, and the sales will be
made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. Any underwriters involved in the sale of the securities
may qualify as “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the underwriters’
commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters’ compensation under the Securities Act and the rules of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA.
Shares
of our common stock sold pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part will be authorized for listing
and trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain information, where applicable, as
to any other listing, if any, on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any securities market or other securities exchange of the securities
covered by the prospectus supplement. Underwriters may make a market in our common stock, but will not be obligated to do so and
may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence,
development or maintenance of trading markets for any of the securities.
In
order to facilitate the offering of the securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that
stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities,
which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than we sold to them. In these circumstances,
these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their
over-allotment option. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing
the applicable security in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating
in the offering may be reclaimed if the securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions.
The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which
might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
The
underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in other transactions with us, or perform other services for us, in the ordinary course
of their business.

DESCRIPTION
OF COMMON STOCK
We
are authorized to issue 60,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of September 30, 2020 we had 7,108,133
shares of common stock issued and outstanding and approximately 139 common stockholders of record. The following summary of certain
provisions of our common stock does not purport to be complete. You should refer to our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws,
copies of which are on file with the SEC as exhibits to previous SEC filings. Please
refer to “Where You Can Find More Information” below for directions on obtaining these documents. The summary
below is also qualified by provisions of applicable law.
General
Holders
of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have
cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by
our board of directors, out of funds that we may legally use to pay dividends, subject to any preferential dividend rights of
any outstanding series of preferred stock or series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future. All shares
of common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus and, upon issuance and sale, all shares of common stock that we
may offer pursuant to this prospectus, will be fully paid and nonassessable.
In
the event of our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately our net assets
available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights
of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.
There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
The
transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

DESCRIPTION
OF PREFERRED STOCK
We
have authority to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, no
shares of our preferred stock were outstanding or designated.
The
following summary of certain provisions of our preferred stock does not purport to be complete. You should refer to our certificate
of incorporation and by-laws, as amended to date, copies of which are on file with the SEC
as exhibits to previous SEC filings. Please refer to “Where You Can Find More Information” below for directions on
obtaining these documents. The summary below is also qualified by provisions of applicable law.
Our
board of directors is authorized, without stockholder approval, from time to time, to issue shares of preferred stock in series
and may, at the time of issuance, subject to Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, determine the rights,
preferences and limitations of each series, including voting rights, dividend rights and redemption and liquidation preferences.
Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for
the payment of dividends on shares of our common stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference
payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company before any payment is made to the holders of
shares of our common stock. In some circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend
to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities
or the removal of incumbent management. Upon the affirmative vote of our board of directors, without stockholder approval, we
may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of shares of our
common stock.
If
we offer a specific series of preferred stock under this prospectus, we will describe the terms of the preferred stock in the
prospectus supplement for such offering and will file a copy of the certificate establishing the terms of the preferred stock

DESCRIPTION
OF DEBT SECURITIES
The
following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes
the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized
below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may offer pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe the particular
terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a
prospectus supplement, the terms of any debt securities offered under such prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we
describe below, and to the extent the terms set forth in a prospectus supplement differ from the terms described below, the terms
set forth in the prospectus supplement shall control.
We
may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings under this prospectus, debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated.
We will issue any such senior debt securities under a senior indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the
senior indenture. We will issue any such subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture, which we will enter into
with a trustee to be named in the subordinated indenture. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to the registration
statement, of which this prospectus is a part. We use the term “indentures” to refer to either the senior indenture
or the subordinated indenture, as applicable. The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, or the Trust
Indenture Act, as in effect on the date of the indenture. We use the term “debenture trustee” to refer to either the
trustee under the senior indenture or the trustee under the subordinated indenture, as applicable.
The
following summaries of material provisions of the senior debt securities, the subordinated debt securities and the indentures
are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular
series of debt securities.
General
Each
indenture provides that debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable
in foreign currencies or units based on or relating to foreign currencies. Neither the senior indenture nor any subordinated indenture
limits the amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder, and each indenture provides that the specific terms of any
series of debt securities shall be set forth in, or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution and/or a supplemental indenture,
if any, relating to such series.
We
will describe in each prospectus supplement the following terms relating to a series of debt securities:
|
|
●
|
the
title or designation;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
aggregate principal amount and any limit on the amount that may be issued;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
currency or units based on or relating to currencies in which debt securities of such series are denominated and the currency
or units in which principal or interest or both will or may be payable;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
whether
we will issue the series of debt securities in global form, the terms of any global securities and who the depositary will
be;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
maturity date and the date or dates on which principal will be payable;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, or the method for determining the rate and the date interest will begin to
accrue, the date or dates interest will be payable and the record dates for interest payment dates or the method for determining
such dates;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
whether
or not the debt securities will be secured or unsecured, and the terms of any secured debt;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
terms of the subordination of any series of subordinated debt;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
place or places where payments will be payable;
|
|
|
●
|
our
right, if any, to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any such deferral period;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
date, if any, after which, and the price at which, we may, at our option, redeem the series of debt securities pursuant to
any optional redemption provisions;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
date, if any, on which, and the price at which we are obligated, pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund provisions or otherwise,
to redeem, or at the holder’s option to purchase, the series of debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
whether
the indenture will restrict our ability to pay dividends, or will require us to maintain any asset ratios or reserves;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
whether
we will be restricted from incurring any additional indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
a
discussion on any material or special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a series of debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
denominations in which we will issue the series of debt securities, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the debt securities.
|
We
may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration
of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal
income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus
supplement.
Conversion
or Exchange Rights
We
will set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or
exchangeable for our common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is
mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our
common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.
Consolidation,
Merger or Sale; No Protection in Event of a Change of Control or Highly Leveraged Transaction
The
indentures do not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our
obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as appropriate.
Unless
we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford
holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change of control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction
(whether or not such transaction results in a change of control), which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.
Events
of Default Under the Indenture
The
following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:
|
|
●
|
if
we fail to pay interest when due and our failure continues for 90 days and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
if
we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due and the time for payment has not been extended or delayed;
|
|
|
●
|
if
we fail to observe or perform any other covenant set forth in the debt securities of such series or the applicable indentures,
other than a covenant specifically relating to and for the benefit of holders of another series of debt securities, and our
failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice from the debenture trustee or holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
if
specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur as to us.
|
No
event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence
of an event of default may constitute an event of default under any bank credit agreements we may have in existence from time
to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain events of default or acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event
of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.
If
an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee
or the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice
in writing to us (and to the debenture trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal
(or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in
the terms of that series) of and premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. Before
a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained with respect to debt securities of any series, the holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series
at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented
at such meeting) may rescind and annul the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in
the applicable indenture (including payments or deposits in respect of principal, premium or interest that had become due other
than as a result of such acceleration). We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that
are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount
securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.
Subject
to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the debenture trustee
will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of
the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the debenture trustee reasonable indemnity.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the debenture trustee, or exercising any trust
or power conferred on the debenture trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:
|
|
●
|
the
direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
subject
to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the debenture trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal
liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.
|
A
holder of the debt securities of any series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint
a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies if:
|
|
●
|
the
holder previously has given written notice to the debenture trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that
series;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written
request, and such holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the debenture trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee;
and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
debenture trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present,
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) other conflicting
directions within 60 days after the notice, request and offer.
|
These
limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium,
if any, or interest on, the debt securities.
We
will periodically file statements with the applicable debenture trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the
applicable indenture.
Modification
of Indenture; Waiver
The
debenture trustee and we may change the applicable indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters,
including:
|
|
●
|
to
fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
to
change anything that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series issued
pursuant to such indenture.
|
In
addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the debenture trustee
with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities
of each series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal
amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) that is affected. However, the debenture trustee and
we may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:
|
|
●
|
extending
the fixed maturity of the series of debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
reducing
the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or any premium payable upon the redemption
of any debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
reducing
the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
making
the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;
or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
reducing
the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver.
|
Except
for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of
any series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount
of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that
series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under
the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or
any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision, which cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; provided, however, that the holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.
Discharge
Each
indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities,
except for obligations to:
|
|
●
|
register
the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
replace
stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
maintain
paying agencies;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
hold
monies for payment in trust;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
compensate
and indemnify the trustee; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
appoint
any successor trustee.
|
In
order to exercise our rights to be discharged with respect to a series, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations
sufficient to pay all the principal of, the premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments
are due.
Form,
Exchange, and Transfer
We
will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in
the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures provide that
we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited
with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement
with respect to that series.
At
the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described
in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for
other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.
Subject
to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement,
holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or
with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the
security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the
debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange or in the applicable indenture, we will make no service charge
for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.
We
will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar,
that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation
of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required
to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.
If
we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:
|
|
●
|
issue,
register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and
ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
register
the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion
of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.
|
Information
Concerning the Debenture Trustee
The
debenture trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the applicable indenture, undertakes
to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture,
the debenture trustee under such indenture must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct
of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the debenture trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers
given it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.
Payment
and Paying Agents
Unless
we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on
any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered
at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.
We
will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents
designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments
by check which we will mail to the holder. Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate
trust office of the debenture trustee in the City of New York as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities
of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the
debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a
particular series.
All
money we pay to a paying agent or the debenture trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any
debt securities which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable
will be repaid to us, and the holder of the security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.
Governing
Law
The
indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except
to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.
Subordination
of Subordinated Debt Securities
Our
obligations pursuant to any subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in priority of payment
to certain of our other indebtedness to the extent described in a prospectus supplement. The subordinated indenture does not limit
the amount of senior indebtedness we may incur. It also does not limit us from issuing any other secured or unsecured debt.
DESCRIPTION
OF RIGHTS
General
We
may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock or the other securities described
in this prospectus. We may offer rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, debt securities, preferred
stock, common stock or warrants, or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus
supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or
trust company, as rights agent. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to
the rights of the series of certificates and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any
holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights. The following description sets forth certain general terms and
provisions of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the rights to which any prospectus
supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions may apply to the rights so offered will be described
in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of the rights, rights agreement or rights certificates
described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed
to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement. We encourage you to read the applicable rights agreement and rights certificate
for additional information before you decide whether to purchase any of our rights.
We
will provide in a prospectus supplement the following terms of the rights being issued:
|
|
●
|
the
date of determining the stockholders entitled to the rights distribution;

|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
aggregate number of rights issued;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
whether
the rights are transferrable and the date, if any, on and after which the rights may be separately transferred;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence, and the date on which the right to exercise the rights will
expire;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
method by which holders of rights will be entitled to exercise;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
conditions to the completion of the offering, if any;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
withdrawal, termination and cancellation rights, if any;

●
|
whether

|
|
|
|
|
|
●

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the distribution, exchange and exercise
of the rights, as applicable.
|
Each
right will entitle the holder of rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of common stock, preferred stock or
other securities at the exercise price provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up
to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Holders
may exercise rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly
completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus
supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities, as applicable,
purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer
any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through
a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Rights
Agent
The
rights agent for any rights we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
The
following description, together with the additional information that we include in any applicable prospectus supplements summarizes
the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below
will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series
of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement
may differ from the terms described below.
We
will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the
series of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following
summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the
provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read
the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of units that we may offer under this prospectus, as well
as any related free writing prospectuses and the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms
of the units.
General
We
may issue units consisting of common stock, preferred stock, one or more debt securities, warrants, rights for the purchase of
common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series, in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that
the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights
and obligations of a holder of each security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide
that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified
date.
We
will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units being offered, including:
|
|
●
|
the
designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances
those securities may be held or transferred separately;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.
|
The
provisions described in this section, as well as those set forth in any prospectus supplement or as described under “Description
of Common Stock,” “Description of Preferred Stock,” “Description of Debt Securities,” “Description
of Warrants” and “Description of Rights” will apply to each unit, as applicable, and to any common stock, preferred
stock, debt security, warrant or right included in each unit, as applicable.
Unit
Agent
The
name and address of the unit agent for any units we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Issuance
in Series
We
may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.
Enforceability
of Rights by Holders of Units
Each
unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship
of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series
of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or
unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any
holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal
action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.
CERTAIN
PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OF THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
Anti-Takeover
Provisions
Delaware
Law
We
are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. Section 203 prohibits
a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder”
for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the
business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed
manner or another prescribed exception applies. For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” is defined broadly
to include a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and, subject
to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates,
owns, or within three years prior, did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.
Staggered
Board
Our
restated certificate of incorporation and restated by-laws provide for the Board of Directors to be divided into three classes
serving staggered terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire
are elected for a three-year term of office. All directors elected to our classified Board of Directors will serve until the election
and qualification of their respective successors or their earlier resignation or removal. The Board of Directors is authorized
to create new directorships and to fill such positions so created and is permitted to specify the class to which any such new
position is assigned. The person filling such position would serve for the term applicable to that class. The Board of Directors
(or its remaining members, even if less than a quorum) is also empowered to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors occurring
for any reason for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred. Members of the Board of
Directors may only be removed for cause and only by the affirmative vote of 80% of the outstanding voting stock. These provisions
are likely to increase the time required for stockholders to change the composition of the Board of Directors. For example, in
general, at least two annual meetings will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of the
Board of Directors. The provision for a classified board could prevent a party who acquires control of a majority of our outstanding
common stock from obtaining control of our Board of Directors until our second annual stockholders meeting following the date
the acquirer obtains the controlling stock interest. The classified board provision could have the effect of discouraging a potential
acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us and could increase the likelihood that incumbent
directors will retain their positions.
Advance
notice provisions for stockholder proposals
Our
restated by-laws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder nominations of candidates for election to our Board of
Directors, as well as procedures for including proposed nominations at special meetings at which directors are to be elected.
Stockholders at our annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before
the meeting by or at the direction of our board or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the
meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given to our secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the
stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting, and who has complied with the procedures and requirements
set forth in the by-laws. Although the by-laws do not give the Board of Directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder
nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, these by-laws
may have the effect of precluding the conduct of some business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage
or defer a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting
to obtain control of Microbot.
Special
meetings of stockholders
Special
meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors, president or secretary upon the application of a majority
of the directors. Stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require our Board of Directors to call a special
meeting.
No
stockholder action by written consent
Our
restated certificate of incorporation and restated by-laws do not permit our stockholders to act by written consent. As a result,
any action to be effected by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders.
Super-majority
stockholder vote required for certain actions.
The
DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend
a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or
by-laws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. Our restated certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least 80% of our outstanding voting stock to amend or repeal certain provisions of our restated certificate
of incorporation. This 80% stockholder vote would be in addition to any separate class vote that might in the future be required
pursuant to the terms of any preferred stock that might then be outstanding. In addition, an 80% vote is also required for any
amendment to, or repeal of, our restated by-laws by the stockholders. Our restated by-laws may be amended or repealed by a vote
of a majority of the total number of authorized directors.
Limitation
of Liability and Indemnification
Our
restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that each person who was or is made a party
or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of
our directors or officers or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, or trustee of another corporation, or of
a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, whether the
basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or trustee or in any other capacity
while serving as a director, officer or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by us to the fullest extent authorized
by the DGCL against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such.
Section
145 of the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding brought by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e., one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be provided only
for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the defense or settlement of such
an action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be provided if such person shall have been adjudged
to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Chancery Court or the court in which the action
or suit was brought shall determine that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite
such adjudication of liability.
Pursuant
to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article Ninth of our restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of a director
to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for such a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising:
|
|
●
|
from
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
|
|
|
●
|
from
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
under
Section 174 of the DGCL; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
from
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
|
We
have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain officers, in addition to the indemnification provided
in our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, and intend to enter into indemnification agreements
with any new directors and executive officers in the future. We have purchased and intend to maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director or officer against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by
him or her in any such capacity, subject to certain exclusions.
The
foregoing discussion of our restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, indemnification agreements, indemnity
agreement, and Delaware law is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such restated certificate of
incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, indemnification agreements, indemnity agreement, or law.

validity of the shares being offered under this prospectus by us will be passed upon for us by Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky
