The aggregate gross cash proceeds were $7.275 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital and general corporate purposes, as well as for potential acquisitions, but it does not have any pending acquisitions at this time.
In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,704,461 units and pre-funded units.

Each unit and pre-funded unit consists of one ordinary share (or pre-funded warrant), one Series A common warrant exercisable for one and one-quarter ordinary shares at an exercise price of $2.69 per one whole ordinary share and one Series B common warrant to purchase such amount of ordinary shares as will be determined on the Reset Date (as defined in the Series B common warrant) at an exercise price of $0.00001 per ordinary share. The common warrants were exercisable upon issuance and have a term of 5.5 years from the issuance date. The number of securities issued under the units and pre-funded units is subject to adjustment as described in more detail in the Report on Form 6-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the private placement on January 29, 2024.

Meitar | Law Offices served as Israeli counsel to the Company and Sullivan & Worcester LLP served as U.S. counsel to the Company for the private placement.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or other comparable terms. For example, we are using forward-looking statements when discussing the anticipated use of proceeds from the private placement. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: our ability to adapt to significant future alterations in Amazon’s policies; our ability to sell our existing products and grow our brands and product offerings, including by acquiring new brands; our ability to meet our expectations regarding the revenue growth and the demand for e-commerce; the overall global economic environment; the impact of competition and new e-commerce technologies; general market, political and economic conditions in the countries in which we operate; projected capital expenditures and liquidity; the impact of possible changes in Amazon’s policies and terms of use; and the other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC, on April 10, 2023 and our other filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
