SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement 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 Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or 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 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 our 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 supplement, in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement, 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
light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in
this prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated herein by reference might not occur. Investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the date of the document
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to
update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking
statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements
contained or referred to in this section.

In
relation to the IIA grant, we are obligated to pay royalties amounting to between 3%-5% of our future sales of the LIBERTY product up
to the grant amount plus interest. The grant is linked to the U.S. dollar and bears interest at Libor per annum. The grant monies will
be paid over time based on the terms of the grant, and the U.S. dollar amount actually received will be based on the exchange rate of
the U.S. dollar to the New Israeli Shekel at the time of payment.
Core-Business
Focus Program
On
May 15, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized, and we commenced, a core-business focus program while we seek to raise additional capital
to continue development of the LIBERTY robotic system. This core-business focus program includes the cessation of research and development
activities not related to LIBERTY, including terminating our agreement with CardioSert Ltd. for that technology, and returning intellectual
property relating to the Self Cleaning Shunt (Virob) and TipCat to Technion Research and Development Foundation.
Cost
Reduction Plan
On
May 15, 2023, in addition to the core-business focus program described above, our Board of Directors authorized, and we commenced, a
cost reduction plan while we seek to raise additional capital to continue development of the LIBERTY robotic system. This cost reduction
plan includes:
● |
Focus
its research & development and regulatory efforts to complete the LIBERTY’s verification and validation process (“V&V”),

We
expect that the savings generated from such cost-reduction activities will enable us to continue the V&V and first-in-human cases
planned in Brazil or elsewhere, through September 30, 2023, while we continue to seek new sources of financings to stabilize our finances.
First-In-Human
Clinical Cases
We
recently announced that we have initiated preparations for potential First-In-Human cases in Brazil, by engaging with interventional
radiologist Prof. Francisco Cesar Carnevale. The engagement with Prof. Carnevale, from University of Sao Paulo Medical School Hospital,
is expected to support our intention to conduct a first-in-human clinical trial in Brazil as part of our ongoing clinical and regulatory
efforts. The potential clinical cases are expected to commence upon completion of the V&V process of our LIBERTY Robotic system,
as well as obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals to perform those cases.
We
are also exploring options to conduct First-In-Human trials or cases in other places where the regulatory laws allow.
Catheterization
Milestone
On
May 3, 2023, we announced that the LIBERTY Robotic system has surpassed its 100th catheterization during multiple pre-clinical studies,
with a 95% success rate of reaching pre-determined vascular targets, such as distal branches of hepatic, gastric, splenic, mesenteric,
renal and hypogastric arteries. Moreover, all of the procedures were completed without notable signs of intraoperative injury.
Relating
to 48 of such catheterizations, a team of six leading European interventional radiologists used the LIBERTY® Robotic system
and achieved a 100% success rate in an extensive pre-clinical animal study, held at a leading European-based research lab. The team of
radiologists utilized the system and performed a total of 48 catheterizations to pre-determined vascular targets including distal branches
of hepatic, gastric, splenic, mesenteric, renal, and hypogastric arteries.

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 Exchange Act, are available free of charge through the investor relations page of
our internet website as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file 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 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 SEC, and in other documents incorporated by reference to our filings
with the SEC 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
If
you purchase securities sold in this offering, you will incur immediate dilution.
Since
the price per share of our common stock being offered is higher than the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our
common stock after giving effect to this offering and the registered direct offerings we consummated in May and June 2023, you will suffer
dilution with respect to the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of the shares of common stock you purchase in this offering.
Based on a public offering price of $3.25 per share and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2023,
if you purchase securities in this offering, you will suffer immediate dilution of $2.25 per share with respect to the net tangible
book value of the common stock. You may experience additional dilution upon exercise of the outstanding stock options and other equity
awards that may be granted under our equity incentive plans, exercise of outstanding warrants and when we otherwise issue additional
shares of our common stock. For more information, see “Dilution.”
We
will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively, including in connection
with pending litigation.
Our
management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described
in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess
whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of
the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management may
not apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. The failure by our management
to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term,
investment-grade, interest-bearing securities or as otherwise provided in our investment policies in effect from time to time. These
investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.
We
were named as the defendant in a lawsuit captioned Empery Asset Master Ltd., Empery Tax Efficient, LP, Empery Tax Efficient II, LP, Hudson
Bay Master Fund Ltd., Plaintiffs, against Microbot Medical Inc., Defendant, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of
New York (Index No. 651182/2020). The complaint alleges, among other things, that we breached multiple representations and warranties
contained in the securities purchase agreement (“SPA”) related to our June 8, 2017 equity financing (the “Financing”),
of which the Plaintiffs participated, and fraudulently induced Plaintiffs into signing the SPA. The complaint seeks rescission of the
SPA and return of the Plaintiffs’ $6.75 million purchase price with respect to the Financing. We are currently in the discovery
phase. Management is unable to assess the likelihood that we will succeed at trial with respect to the SPA or the Financing, having previously
lost another lawsuit with respect to the Financing. Our failure to apply the net proceeds from this offering effectively, including to
any adverse outcome with respect to the defense or settlement of litigation, could have a material adverse effect on our business, delay
our product development and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
There
may be future sales of our securities or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We
are generally not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable
for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock; however, we agreed as part of this offering to not issue any common stock
or common stock equivalents, or file any registration statement or amendments or supplements thereto, for a period of 5 trading
days from the closing of this offering. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of common stock or securities
that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock after this offering or the perception
that such sales could occur.
Even
if this offering is successful, we will need to raise additional capital in the future to remain a going concern, which may not be available
on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product
development efforts or other operations.
We
have had significant recurring losses from operations and we do not generate any cash from operations and must raise additional funds
in order to continue operating our business. We expect to continue to fund our operations in the future primarily through equity and
debt financings, grants from the Israel Innovation Authority and other sources. If additional capital is not available to us when needed
or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our business plan or we may have to discontinue
our operations entirely. Based on our cash balance and recurring losses since inception and inadequacy of existing capital resources
to fund planned operations during the next 12 months, we will require significant additional funding to continue operations. We received
net proceeds of approximately $4.74 million from the registered direct offerings we consummated in May and June 2023, and we will receive
net proceeds of approximately $1.75 million from the sale of the securities offered by us in this offering, after deducting the
placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us and excluding any proceeds we may receive upon exercise of the securities
issued in the concurrent private placement. We cannot provide assurances that our plans will not change or that changed circumstances
will not result in the depletion of our capital resources more rapidly than we currently anticipate. Moreover, if we are unable to continue
as a going concern, we may be forced to liquidate our assets and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could
be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements.
Any
additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to
develop and commercialize our product candidates. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend, in part, on the success of our product
development activities, any clinical trials, regulatory events, our ability to identify and enter into in-licensing or other strategic
arrangements, and other events or conditions that may affect our value or prospects, as well as factors related to financial, economic
and market conditions, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurances that sufficient funds will be available to us
when required or on acceptable terms, if at all.
If
we are unable to secure additional funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to defer, reduce or eliminate significant
planned expenditures, restructure, curtail or eliminate some or all of our development programs or other operations, dispose of technology
or assets, pursue an acquisition of our company by a third party at a price that may result in a loss on investment for our stockholders,
enter into arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our product candidates, technologies or potential markets,
file for bankruptcy or cease operations altogether. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Moreover, if we are unable to obtain additional funds on a timely basis, there will be substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and increased risk of insolvency and up to a total loss of investment by our stockholders.
We
do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We
currently plan to invest all available funds, including the proceeds from this offering, and future earnings, if any, in the development
and growth of our business. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. As
a result, a rise in the market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable, will be your sole source of potential
gain in the foreseeable future and you should not rely on an investment in our common stock for dividend income.
Our
stock price may be volatile.
The
market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors,
many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
|
● |
results
of our operations and product development efforts; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
ability to obtain working capital financing; |
|
|
|
|
● |
additions
or departures of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
● |
limited
“public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative
pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
ability to execute our business plan; |
|
|
|
|
● |
sales
of our common stock and decline in demand for our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
regulatory
developments; |
|
|
|
|
● |
economic
and other external factors; |
|
|
|
|
● |
investor
perception of our industry or our prospects; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
period-to-period
fluctuations in our financial results. |
In
addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the
operating performance of particular companies. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty
in the recent past. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result,
you may be unable to resell your shares of our common stock at a desired price.
We
are selling the securities offered in this prospectus on a “best efforts” basis and may not be able to sell any of the securities
offered herein.
We
have engaged Wainwright to act as placement agent in connection with this offering. While Wainwright will use its reasonable best efforts
to arrange for the sale of the securities, they are under no obligation to purchase any of the securities. As a result, there are no
firm commitments to purchase any of the securities in this offering. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we will be capable of selling
all, or any, of the securities being offered hereby.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
estimate the net proceeds to us from the sale of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $1.75 million
after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We
currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for the continued development, commercialization and regulatory activities
for the LIBERTY® Robotic System, expansion and development of additional applications derived from our existing intellectual
property portfolio, 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 securities, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution to the extent of the difference between the amount
per share paid in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the offering.
Our
net tangible book value per share is determined by subtracting our total liabilities from our total tangible assets, which is total assets
less intangible assets, and dividing this amount by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. The historical net tangible book
value of our common stock as of March 31, 2023 was approximately $4,848,000, or $0.60 per share, based on 8,130,628 shares of our common
stock outstanding at March 31, 2023.
Our
pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2023, was approximately $9,595,033, or approximately $0.90 per share,
on a pro forma basis to give effect to (i) the registered direct offering of 655,569 shares of common stock at the offering price
of $2.20 per share that closed on May 23, 2023, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable
by us, (ii) the registered direct offering of 975,000 shares of common stock at the offering price of $2.20 and pre-funded warrants
exercisable for up to 234,500 shares of common stock at the offering price of $2.1999 per pre-funded warrant that closed on May 24, 2023,
after deducting the placement agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, (iii) the exercise of pre-funded warrants
for 234,500 shares of common stock, (iv) the registered direct offering of 701,756 shares of common stock at the offering
price of $2.1375 per share that closed on June 6, 2023, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses
payable by us and (v) the cashless exercise of Series B preferred investment options for an aggregate of 385,246 shares of our
common stock on June 16, 2023.
After
giving effect to the issuance and sale in this offering of 624,618 shares of common stock at the offering price of $3.25
per share, after deducting the estimated placement agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as
adjusted net tangible book value on March 31, 2023, would have been approximately $11,326,691 or $1.00 per share. This
represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.10 per share attributable to this offering and an immediate
dilution of $2.25 per share to the new investors in this offering.
The
following table illustrates the immediate dilution to the new investors:

The
foregoing discussion and table do not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding
options or warrants. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even
if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through
the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.
The
above discussion and table are based on 8,130,628, 11,082,699 and 11,707,317 actual, pro forma and pro forma as adjusted
shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 23, 2023, respectively, and excludes the following securities outstanding on
June 23, 2023:
|
● |
1,556,179
shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, with exercise prices ranging from approximately
$0.005 to $19.35 and having a weighted-average exercise price of $7.14 per share; |

Unless
otherwise indicated, this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise of the placement agent warrants and any securities issued in the
concurrent private placement.
DESCRIPTION
OF THE SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING
We
are offering shares of common stock. The following description of our shares of common stock summarizes the material terms and provisions
thereof, including the material terms of the shares of common stock we are offering under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus.
Common
Stock
For
a description of the rights associated with the common stock, see “Description of Common Stock” in the accompanying prospectus.
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MBOT.” Our transfer agent is Computershare Trust
Company, N.A.
PRIVATE
PLACEMENT TRANSACTION
Concurrent
Private Placement
In
a concurrent private placement, we are also selling to the same institutional investors of our shares of common stock, unregistered series
D preferred investment options to purchase up to 312,309 shares of our common stock (the “series D preferred investment
options”). Each series D preferred investment option will be exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of
$3.19 commencing on the date of issuance and will expire five and one-half years from the initial exercise date.
A
holder of preferred investment options will not have the right to exercise any portion of its preferred investment options if the holder,
together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to such exercise; provided, however, that upon notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease such beneficial
ownership limitation, provided that in no event shall such beneficial ownership limitation exceed 9.99% and any increase in the beneficial
ownership limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice of such increase from the holder to us. In addition, the holders
of the preferred investment options will have the right to participate in any rights offering or distribution of assets together with
the holders of our shares of common stock on an as-exercised basis.
The
preferred investment options and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such securities are not being registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus and are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act
and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, purchasers of the preferred investment options, may only sell shares of our common
stock issued upon exercise of such securities being sold to them in the concurrent private placement, pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares, an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another
applicable exemption under the Securities Act. None of the series D preferred investment options issued in the concurrent private
placement are or will be listed for trading on any national securities exchange.
The
exercise price and number of the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the preferred investment options will be subject
to adjustment for stock splits, reverse splits, and similar capital transactions, as described in the preferred investment options. The
preferred investment options will be exercisable on a “cashless” basis in certain circumstances.
Additionally,
if a fundamental transaction occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right
and power that we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the preferred investment options with the same effect as
if such successor entity had been named in the preferred investment option itself. If holders of our shares of common stock are given
a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a fundamental transaction, then the holder shall be given the same
choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the preferred investment option following such fundamental transaction.
As more fully described in the form of preferred investment option, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of
the preferred investment options will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the preferred
investment option on the date of consummation of the transaction.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Pursuant
to an engagement letter agreement dated May 16, 2023, we have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, referred to herein as Wainwright
or the placement agent, to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. Under the terms of the engagement letter,
Wainwright is not purchasing the securities offered by us in this offering, and is not required to sell any specific number or dollar
amount of securities, but will assist us in this offering on a reasonable best efforts basis. The terms of this offering were subject
to market conditions and negotiations between us, Wainwright and prospective investors. Wainwright will have no authority to bind us
by virtue of the engagement letter. Wainwright may engage sub-agents or selected dealers to assist with this offering. We may not sell
the entire amount of our shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement.
The
placement agent proposes to arrange for the sale of the securities we are offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying
prospectus to one or more institutional or accredited investors through securities purchase agreements directly between the purchaser
and us. We will only sell to such investors who have entered into the securities purchase agreement with us.
Delivery
of the securities offered hereby is expected to take place on or about June 28, 2023, subject to satisfaction of customary closing
conditions.
Fees
and Expenses
We
have agreed to pay the placement agent a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the offering, as well as a management
fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering. The following table shows the per share and total cash fees we will
pay to the placement agent in connection with the sale of our securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, assuming the purchase of all of the securities offered hereby.

In
addition, we have agreed to reimburse the placement agent for its non-accountable expenses in the amount of $25,000, for its fees and
expenses of legal counsel in the amount of up to $35,000, and for its clearing expenses in the amount of $15,950. We estimate the total
offering expenses of this offering that will be payable by us, excluding the placement agent’s fees and expenses, will be approximately
$60,000.
In
addition, we will issue to the placement agent, or its designees, warrants to purchase up to 31,231 shares of Common Stock. The
placement agent warrants will be exercisable immediately following issuance, will have an exercise price equal to $4.0625 and
will have a term of five years from the commencement of sales of this offering.
The
securities purchase agreement that we entered into with the investor prohibits, with certain limited exceptions, us: (i) for five (5)
trading days following the closing date from issuing any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the securities
purchase agreement) or filing any registration statement (other than a Form S-8), and (ii) for twelve (12) months following the closing
date from issuing any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the securities
purchase agreement).
We
have granted Wainwright, subject to certain exceptions, a right of first refusal for a period of twelve (12) months following the consummation
of this offering to act as our exclusive underwriter or placement agent for any further capital raising transactions undertaken by us
or any of our subsidiaries.
In
the event that any investor whom the placement agent had contacted during the term of its engagement or introduced to the Company during
the term of our engagement of the placement agent provides any capital to us, in a public or private offering or other financing or capital-raising
transaction of any kind, within the six (6) months following the expiration of termination of the engagement of the placement agent,
we shall pay the placement agent the cash and warrant compensation provided above, calculated in the same manner.
We
have agreed to indemnify the placement agent and specified other persons against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of the
placement agent’s activities under its engagement letter, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to
payments that the placement agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
The
placement agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions
received by it and any profit realized on the sale of our securities offered hereby by it while acting as principal might be deemed to
be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The placement agent will be required to comply with the requirements
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These
rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our securities by the placement agent. Under these rules and regulations,
the placement agent may not (i) engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and (ii) bid for or purchase
any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act,
until they have completed their participation in the distribution.
From
time to time, the placement agent or its affiliates may provide in the future various advisory, investment and commercial banking and
other services to us in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and
commissions. However, except as disclosed in this prospectus supplement, we have no present arrangements with the placement agent for
any further services.
The
placement agent acted as our placement agent in connection with our registered direct offerings that were consummated in May and June
2023, for which it received compensation.

TABLE

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

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
light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained
in this prospectus or in any document incorporated herein by reference might not occur. Investors are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or the date of the document incorporated
by reference in this prospectus. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking
statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary
statements contained or referred to in this section.
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

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.

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.

common stock is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MBOT.”
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
with the SEC. To the extent required, this description will include:

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 shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
exercise price; |
|
|
|

● |
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; |

● |
whether
stockholders are entitled to oversubscription rights, if any; |

|
|
|

any
applicable material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
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

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.
