See “Plan of Distribution.”

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements made under “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” and elsewhere in this prospectus, including in our 2023 Annual Report, incorporated by reference herein, and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,”, “plan,” “estimate,” “continue,” “believe,” “should,” “intend,” “project,” “predict,” “potential” or other similar words, but are not the only way these statements are identified.

 

These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, statements that contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, expected capital needs and expenses, statements relating to the research, development, completion and use of our products, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.

 

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.

 

Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include, among other things:

 

●

our dependence on enrolment of patients in our clinical trials in order to continue development of our product candidates;

 

●

the outcome of the top-line results from our SHIELD II Phase 3 trial;

 

●

our ability to raise capital through the issuance of securities;

 

●

our ability to advance the development of our product candidates, including the anticipated starting and ending dates of our anticipated clinical trials;

 

●

our assessment of the potential of our product candidates to treat certain indications;

 

●

our ability to successfully receive approvals from the FDA, the European Medicines Agency, or other applicable regulatory bodies, including approval to conduct clinical trials, the scope of those trials and the prospects for regulatory approval of, or other regulatory action with respect to our product candidates, including the regulatory pathway to be designated to our product candidates;

 

●

the regulatory environment and changes in the health policies and regimes in the countries in which we operate, including the impact of any changes in regulation and legislation that could affect the pharmaceutical industry;

 

●

our ability to commercialize our existing product candidates and future sales of our existing product candidates or any other future potential product candidates;

 

●

our ability to meet our expectations regarding the commercial supply of our product candidates;

 

●

the overall global economic environment;

 

●

the impact of competition and new technologies;

 

●

general market, political and economic conditions in the countries in which we operate;

 

●

projected capital expenditures and liquidity;

 

●

changes in our strategy; and

 

●

litigation.

 

These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders. All net proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus will go to the selling shareholders. However, we will receive cash proceeds equal to the total exercise price of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants that are exercised.

 

We intend to use the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants for our ongoing SHIELD II phase 3 clinical trial, working capital and general corporate purposes.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The Ordinary Shares being offered by the selling shareholders are those previously issued to the selling shareholders, and those issuable to the selling shareholders, upon exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those Ordinary Shares, Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, see “December 2024 Private Placement of Ordinary Shares and Warrants” above. We are registering the Ordinary Shares in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Ordinary Shares, Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

To our knowledge, except for Mr. Nir Dror, who serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Aurum Ventures M.K.I. Ltd. and is a director of the Company, within the past three years, none of the selling shareholders has held a position as an officer or a director of ours, nor had any other material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates.

 

A selling shareholder who is an affiliate of a broker-dealer and any participating broker-dealer is deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts given to any such selling shareholder or broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. To our knowledge, except as set forth below, none of the selling shareholders is an affiliate of a broker-dealer and there are no participating broker-dealers.

 

The term “selling shareholder” also includes any transferees, pledgees, donees, or other successors in interest to the selling shareholders named in the table below.

 

The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the Ordinary Shares, Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, as of January 21, 2025, assuming exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants held by the selling shareholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.

 

The third column lists the Ordinary Shares being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.

 

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number of Ordinary Shares issued to the selling shareholders in the December 2024 Private Placement described above and (ii) the maximum number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the related Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, determined as if the outstanding Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

 

Under the terms of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, a selling shareholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of ordinary shares which would exceed 4.99%, 9.99% or 24.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding Ordinary Shares following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

The selling shareholders are not making any representation that any Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. Because we do not know how long each of the selling shareholders will hold the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, whether any will exercise the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants and, upon such exercise, how long each such selling shareholder will hold the Ordinary Shares before selling them, and because each of the selling shareholders may dispose of all, none or some portion of its securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of securities that will be beneficially owned by a selling shareholder upon completion of this offering. In addition, each selling shareholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of its securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented.

 

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change the selling shareholders list and the securities that may be resold.

Each Selling Stockholder, or the Selling Stockholders, of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

●

privately negotiated transactions;

 

●

settlement of short sales;

 

●

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

 

●

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the ordinary shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the ordinary shares by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers, most of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and the vast majority of our directors and officers are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

 

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Sullivan & Worcester Tel-Aviv (Har-Even & Co.), that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, if U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.

 

Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, an Israeli court may enforce a United States judgment in a civil matter, which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that among other things:

 

●

the judgment was obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel;

 

●

the judgment is final and is not subject to any right of appeal;

 

●

the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment was rendered allows for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts; however, the court may enforce a foreign judgment, even without reciprocity, based on the request of the Attorney General, under certain circumstances;

 

●

the liabilities under the judgment are enforceable according to the laws of the State of Israel and the judgment and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment is not contrary to the law or public policy in Israel nor likely to impair the security or sovereignty of Israel;

 

●

the judgment was not obtained by fraud, there was reasonable opportunity for the defendant to present their case, the judgment was given by an authorized court under the applicable international private law rules in Israel, and the judgement does not conflict with any other valid judgments in the same matter between the same parties;

 

●

an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court;

 

●

the judgment is enforceable according to the law of the foreign state in which it was granted; and

 

●

enforcement may be denied if it could harm the sovereignty or security of Israel.

 

If a foreign judgment is declared enforceable by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency. The conversion to Israeli currency will be based on the latest official exchange rate published by the Bank of Israel before the payment date. However, the obligated party will fulfill its duty for the judgment even if they choose to make the payment in the same foreign currency, subject to the laws governing the foreign currency applicable at that time.

 

Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Indemnification

 

The Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999, or the Companies Law, and the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968, or the Securities Law, provide that a company may indemnify an office holder against the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking made in advance of an event or following an event, provided its articles of association include a provision authorizing such indemnification:

 

●

a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person by any judgment concerning an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court;

 

●

reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder (a) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (1) no indictment (as defined in the Companies Law) was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (2) no financial liability as a substitute for the criminal proceeding (as defined in the Companies Law) was imposed upon him or her as a result of such investigation or proceeding, or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; or (b) in connection with a monetary sanction;

 

●

reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder or imposed on him or her by a court: (1) in proceedings that the company institutes, or that another person institutes on the company’s behalf, or by another person, against him or her; (2) in a criminal proceeding of which he or she was acquitted; or (3) as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent; and

 

●

expenses incurred by an office holder in connection with an Administrative Procedure under the Securities Law, including reasonable litigation expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees. An “Administrative Procedure” is defined as a procedure pursuant to chapters H3 (Monetary Sanction by the Israeli Securities Authority), H4 (Administrative Enforcement Procedures of the Administrative Enforcement Committee) or I1 (Arrangement to prevent the Initiation of Procedures or to Conclude Proceedings, subject to conditions) to the Securities Law.

 

The Companies Law also permits a company to undertake in advance to indemnify an office holder, provided that if such indemnification relates to financial liability imposed on him or her, as described above, then the undertaking should be limited and shall detail the following foreseen events and amount or criterion:

 

●

to events that in the opinion of the board of directors can be foreseen based on the company’s activities at the time that the undertaking to indemnify is made; and

 

●

in amount or criterion determined by the board of directors, at the time of the giving of such undertaking to indemnify, to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and with all members of our senior management. Each such indemnification agreement provides the office holder with indemnification permitted under applicable law and our articles of association, and up to a certain amount, and to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by directors’ and officers’ insurance. 

 

 

Exemption

 

Under the Companies Law, an Israeli company may not exempt and release an office holder from liability for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty, but may exempt and release, in advance, an office holder from his or her liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care (other than in relation to distributions), but only if a provision authorizing such exemption is included in its articles of association. Our articles of association and our letter of exemption provide that we may exempt and release, in whole or in part, any office holder from liability to us for damages caused to the Company as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care, but prohibits an exemption from any liability arising from a Company’s transaction in which our controlling shareholder or officer (when applicable) has a personal interest. Subject to the aforesaid limitations, under the indemnification agreements, we exempt and release our office holders from any and all liability to us related to any breach by them of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Limitations

 

The Companies Law provides that the Company may not exempt and release or indemnify an office holder nor enter into an insurance contract that would provide coverage for any liability incurred as a result of any of the following: (1) a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of loyalty unless (in the case of indemnity or insurance only, but not exemption) the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice us; (2) a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of care if the breach was carried out intentionally or recklessly (as opposed to merely negligently); (3) any act or omission committed with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or (4) any fine, monetary sanction, penalty or forfeit levied against the office holder.

 

Under the Companies Law, exemption, indemnification and insurance of office holders in a public company must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors (and, with respect to directors and the chief executive officer, by the shareholders). However, under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, the insurance of office holders shall not require shareholder approval and may be approved by only the compensation committee, if the engagement terms are determined in accordance with the company’s compensation policy that was approved by the shareholders by the same special majority required to approve a compensation policy, provided that the insurance policy is on market terms and the insurance policy is not likely to materially impact the company’s profitability, assets or obligations. In addition, under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, the insurance of office holders of a company in which there is a controlling shareholder who is also an office holder, a board approval is also required, subject to meeting the aforesaid conditions.

 

Our articles of association permit us to exempt and release (subject to the aforesaid limitation), indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted or to be permitted by the Companies Law.

Item 10. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)

To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;     provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and a(l)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

 

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

(i)

If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

A.

Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

B.

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form F-3

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are acting as Israeli counsel to PolyPid Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the offer and resale by the selling shareholders identified in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Shareholders”) of up to 11,234,575 ordinary shares of the Company, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), consisting of (i) up to 3.386,962 Ordinary Shares held by the selling shareholders (the “Shares”) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of December 23, 2024, by and between the Company and the Selling Shareholders (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”); (ii) up to 1,106,868 Ordinary Shares, issuable upon the exercise of certain pre-funded warrants sold by the Company to the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”, and the Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), and (iii) up to 6,740,745 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of certain ordinary warrants sold by the Company to the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (the “Common Warrants”, and the Ordinary Shares underlying the Ordinary Warrants, the “Common Warrant Shares”, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”).

 

This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Items 601(b)(5) and (b)(23) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

In connection herewith, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, to which this opinion is attached as an exhibit, (ii) a copy of the articles of association of the Company (the “Articles”); (iii) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) which have heretofore been approved and which relate to the Registration Statement and the actions to be taken in connection with the entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Shares, the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants and the potential issuance of the Warrant Shares; and (iv) such other corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth. We have also made inquiries of such officers and representatives as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth.

 

 

In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents. Other than our examination of the documents indicated above, we have made no other examination in connection with this opinion.

 

We have further assumed that at the time of issuance and to the extent any such issuance would exceed the maximum share capital of the Company currently authorized, the number of Ordinary Shares that the Company is authorized to issue shall have been increased in accordance with the Articles such that a sufficient number of Shares are authorized and available for issuance under the Articles.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, and with respect to the Warrant Shares, when issued and sold by the Company and delivered by the Company against receipt of the exercise price therefor, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We are members of the Israel Bar, and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Israel and have not, for the purpose of giving this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any other jurisdiction than the State of Israel. This opinion set forth herein is made as of the date hereof and subject to, and may be limited by, future changes in the factual matters set forth herein, and we undertake no duty to advise you of the same. This opinion expressed herein is based upon the law in effect (and published or otherwise generally available) on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion, should such law be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise. In rendering our opinion, we have not considered, and hereby disclaim any opinion as to, the application or impact of any laws, cases, decisions, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction, court or administrative agency. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters.

 

This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose, or furnished to, quoted or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written consent, except that (A) this opinion may be furnished or quoted to judicial or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over you, and (B) this opinion may be relied upon by purchasers and holders of the securities covered by the Registration Statement currently entitled to rely on it pursuant to applicable provisions of federal securities law.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

	Very truly yours,
