Explanatory Note

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 4, or this Post-Effective Amendment, to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-262835), or the Registration Statement, is being filed pursuant to our undertaking in the Registration Statement to update and supplement information contained in the Registration Statement, as originally declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on August 25, 2022, and as amended pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC on December 6, 2022 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement, declared effective by the SEC on September 18, 2023. The Registration Statement originally covered a primary offering of (A) 3,717,473 units, or Units, at a public offering price of $4.16 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one of our ordinary shares, no par value per share, or Ordinary Shares, and one warrant, or Warrant, to purchase one Ordinary Share, at an initial exercise price of $4.04 per Ordinary Share (and an exercise price of $2.02 following the Exercise Price Adjustment, as defined below), (B) warrants issued to Aegis Capital Corp., the underwriter in the offering, or Aegis or the Underwriter, to purchase up to 185,873 Ordinary Shares, at an exercise price of $5.20 per Ordinary Share, or the Underwriter’s Warrants, (C) up to 557,620 additional Ordinary Shares and/or additional Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 557,620 Ordinary Shares issuable to the Underwriter solely to cover over-allotments, if any, pursuant to its over-allotment option, which expired on October 9, 2022, and (D) additional Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 2,824,525 Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to Section 3(e) or 3(h) of the Warrant, or the Additional Warrants. This Post-Effective Amendment is now being filed to: (i) update certain financial information contained in the Registration Statement; and (ii) cover the sale of Ordinary Shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants, Underwriter’s Warrants and Additional Warrants that remain unexercised as of the date hereof, and include an updated prospectus related to the offering of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, Underwriter’s Warrants and Additional Warrants that were registered on the Registration Statement. 

 

On September 7, 2022, the Company’s volume weighted average stock price was less than the exercise floor of $4.04 for the Warrants. Accordingly, effective after the closing of trading on November 28, 2022 (the 90^th calendar day immediately following the issuance date of the Warrants), the Warrants were adjusted pursuant to their terms, including, but not limited to, to adjust the exercise price of the Warrants to $2.02, or the Exercise Price Adjustment. In addition, in connection with the Exercise Price Adjustment, the Company issued Additional Warrants to purchase up to 2,824,525 Ordinary Shares to Qualified Buyers (as defined in the Warrant). See “Description of Share Capital — Warrants” for additional information.

 

The information included in this Post-Effective Amendment amends the Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein. No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of the Registration Statement.

 

The registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

 

 

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

DATED SEPTEMBER 29, 2023

 

This prospectus relates to the issuance of up to 7,153,783 ordinary shares, no par value per share, or Ordinary Shares, of Jeffs’ Brands Ltd, or the Company, upon the exercise of the following warrants, or the Outstanding Warrants, issued as part of the Company’s initial public offering, or the IPO: (i) warrants, or the Warrants, to purchase up to 4,143,385 Ordinary Shares (including Warrants to purchase up to 425,912 Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to Aegis Capital Corp., or the Underwriter, in connection with the IPO), which are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $4.04 per Ordinary Share (and an exercise price of $2.02 following the Exercise Price Adjustment, as defined below), were exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire on August 30, 2027; (ii) warrants, or the Underwriter’s Warrants, issued to the Underwriter to purchase up to 185,873 Ordinary Shares, which are exercisable at an exercise price of $5.20 per Ordinary Share, became exercisable beginning on February 21, 2023 and will expire on August 25, 2027; and (iii) additional Warrants, or the Additional Warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 2,824,525 Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to Section 3(e) or 3(h) of the Warrant, effective as of November 28, 2022.

 

On September 7, 2022, the Company’s volume weighted average stock price was less than the exercise floor of $4.04 for the Warrants. Accordingly, effective after the closing of trading on November 28, 2022 (the 90^th calendar day immediately following the issuance date of the Warrants), the Warrants were adjusted pursuant to their terms, including, but not limited to, to reduce the exercise price of the Warrants to $2.02, or the Exercise Price Adjustment. In addition, in connection with the Exercise Price Adjustment, the Company issued Additional Warrants to purchase 2,824,525 Ordinary Shares to Qualified Buyers (as defined in the Warrant. See “Description of Share Capital — Warrants” for additional information.

 

We refer to the Ordinary Shares, the Outstanding Warrants and the Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Outstanding Warrants, collectively, as the securities. See “Description of Share Capital” for additional information.

 

Our Ordinary Shares and Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbols “JFBR” and “JFBRW,” respectively. On September 28, 2023, the last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares and Warrants on Nasdaq was $0.48 per Ordinary Share and $0.044 per Warrant, respectively.

 

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 and “Item 3. — Key Information — D. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, or the 2022 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in this prospectus for a discussion of the factors you should consider carefully before deciding to purchase these securities.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, nor any state or other foreign securities commission has approved nor disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of securities described in this prospectus. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus, as well as information we have previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and incorporated by reference, is accurate as of the date on the front of those documents only. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. We offered to sell the securities, and seeking offers to buy the securities, only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of the securities.

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel and our registered office and domicile is located in Tel Aviv, Israel. Moreover, the majority of our directors and senior management are not residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or upon such persons or to enforce against them judgments obtained in U.S. courts, including judgments in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Meitar | Law Offices, 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. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” for additional information.

 

 

For investors outside of the United States: Neither we nor the Underwriter have done anything that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required, other than in the United States. You are required to inform yourselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to this offering and the distribution of this prospectus.

 

In this prospectus, “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Jeffs’ Brands” refer to Jeffs’ Brands Ltd.

 

All trademarks or trade names referred to in this prospectus are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, the trademarks and trade names in this prospectus are referred to without the ® and ™ symbols, but such references should not be construed as any indicator that their respective owners will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, their rights thereto. We do not intend the use or display of other companies’ trademarks and trade names to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, any other companies.

 

Our reporting currency and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to “NIS” are to New Israeli Shekels, and references to “dollars” or “$” mean U.S. dollars.

 

This prospectus includes statistical, market and industry data and forecasts which we obtained from publicly available information and independent industry publications and reports that we believe to be reliable sources. These publicly available industry publications and reports generally state that they obtain their information from sources that they believe to be reliable, but they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. Although we believe that these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information contained in such publications.

 

We report under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB.

 

On February 17, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of bonus shares (equivalent to a stock dividend) on a basis of 664.0547 (prior to adjustments for subsequent reverse share splits) Ordinary Shares for each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding as of the close of business on February 17, 2022 (provided that any fractional shares be rounded down to the nearest whole number), pursuant to which holders of our Ordinary Shares received 664.0547 (prior to adjustments for subsequent reverse share splits) Ordinary Shares for every one Ordinary Share held as of such date, resulting in an aggregate issuance by the Company of 6,630,547 (prior to adjustments for subsequent reverse share splits) Ordinary Shares on such date.

 

On May 3, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a 0.806-for-1 reverse split of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, effective as of May 3, 2022, pursuant to which holders of our Ordinary Shares received .806 of an Ordinary Share for every one Ordinary Share held as of such date. The reverse stock split proportionally reduced the number of authorized share capital.

 

On June 16, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a 1-for-1.85 reverse split of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, effective as of June 16, 2022, pursuant to which holders of our Ordinary Shares received one Ordinary Share for every 1.85 Ordinary Shares held as of such date. The reverse stock split proportionally reduced the number of authorized share capital.

 

Unless the context expressly dictates otherwise, all references to share and per share amounts referred to herein give effect to the bonus shares issuance and the reverse share splits.

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth under the caption “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, or any updates in our Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, or Reports on Form 6-K, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus before making an investment in our securities. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if any of these risks occurs and, as a result, the market price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.

 

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities

 

Our management will have immediate and broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants, if any, and may not use them effectively.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants for research and development of new technologies and existing products, marketing and sales efforts in new territories and working capital and general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” However, our management will have broad discretion in the application of any such net proceeds. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate the net proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants in a manner that does not produce income. The decisions made by our management may not result in positive returns on your investment and you will not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information upon which our management bases its decisions.

 

We have been notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of our failure to comply with certain continued listing requirements and, if we are unable to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements and standards of Nasdaq, our Ordinary Shares could be delisted from Nasdaq.

 

On May 30, 2023, we received a written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying us that we were not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, because the closing bid price of our Ordinary Shares was below $1.00 per Ordinary Share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. We were granted 180 calendar days, or until November 27, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. We can regain compliance if, at any time during this 180-day period, the closing bid price of our Ordinary Shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, in which case we will be provided with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. However, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC may, in its discretion, require our Ordinary Shares to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that we have demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance. In the event that we do not regain compliance after the initial 180-day period, we may then be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement. In this case, we will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.

 

We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our Ordinary Shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, including initiating a reverse stock split. If we do not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC will provide notice that our Ordinary Shares will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. At that time, we may appeal The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s determination to a hearings panel.

 

There can be no assurances that we will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or if we do later regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, that we will be able to continue to comply with all applicable Nasdaq listing requirements now or in the future. If we are unable to maintain compliance with these Nasdaq requirements, our Ordinary Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq.

 

In the event that our Ordinary Shares are delisted from Nasdaq, as a result of our failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, or due to our failure to continue to comply with any other requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, and are not eligible for listing on another exchange, trading in our Ordinary Shares could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our Ordinary Shares, and it would likely be more difficult to obtain coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a national exchange.

 

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements made under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business” and elsewhere in this prospectus, including in our 2022 Annual Report incorporated by reference herein, and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” “intends” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

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 ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional securities;
	●	our belief that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023, will be sufficient to fund our operations through the next twelve months;
	●	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 and expanding into new territories;
	●	our ability to meet our expectations regarding the revenue growth and the demand for e-commerce;
	●	our ability to enter into definitive agreements for our current letters of intent and term sheet;
	●	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;

 

 

	●	our ability to retain key executive members;
	●	the impact of possible changes in Amazon’s policies and terms of use;
	●	projected capital expenditures and liquidity;
	●	our expectations regarding our tax classifications;
	●	how long we will qualify as an emerging growth company or a foreign private issuer;
	●	interpretations of current laws and the passages of future laws;
	●	changes in our strategy;
	●	litigation; and
	●	those factors referred to in “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors,” “Item 4. Information on the Company,” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” of our 2022 Annual Report as well other factors in the 2022 Annual Report.

 

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. We discuss many of these risks in this prospectus in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference. 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 receive up to approximately $13.8 million in net proceeds if all Outstanding Warrants are exercised.

 

We have used the net proceeds from the IPO and we currently expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants for the following purposes:

 

●

approximately $7.5 million for the purchase of new Amazon brands, the development of our own new brands, and improvement of existing brands;

 

●

approximately $2.15 million for the repayment of certain outstanding indebtedness; and

 

●

the remainder for working capital and general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions and collaborations and investments in warehouse, logistics software and facilities to strengthen our supply chain process.

 

Changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our global marketing and sales efforts, the development efforts and the overall economic environment. Therefore, our management will retain broad discretion over the use of the proceeds from this offering. We may ultimately use the proceeds for different purposes than what we currently intend. Pending any ultimate use of any portion of the proceeds from this offering, if the anticipated proceeds will not be sufficient to fund all the proposed purposes, our management will determine the order of priority for using the proceeds, as well as the amount and sources of other funds needed.

 

Pending our use of the net proceeds from the IPO and the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants, we may invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

 

 

CAPITALIZATION

 

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of June 30, 2023:

 

●

on an actual basis;

 

●

on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the issuance of up to 7,153,783 Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants, for aggregate net proceeds of $13.8 million.

 

You should read this table in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023” attached as exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to our Report on Form 6-K filed on September 26, 2023 and incorporated by reference herein.

 

		As of June 30, 2023*
U.S. dollars in thousands		Actual				As Adjusted
Cash and cash equivalent		$	2,153			$	15,953
Other assets		$	12,862			$	12,862
Other liabilities			1,859				1,859
Warrant liabilities(1)			1,875				-
Shareholders’ equity:
Share capital and premium(2)			16,787				32,462
Accumulated deficit			(5,506	)			(5,506	)
Total shareholders’ equity			11,281				26,956
Total capitalization**		$	15,015			$	28,815

 

*

Unaudited.

 

**

Total capitalization is the sum of long term debt, equity and warrant liabilities.

 

(1)

The decrease in warrant liabilities in the as adjusted columns reflect the reduction in warrant liabilities following the exercise of the Additional Warrants. The warrant liability includes the value of the semi-annual payments equal to approximately 2.3% of the Company’s gross revenues to the Additional Warrant holders as long as the Additional Warrants are outstanding (i.e., 5 years from the issuance date of the Additional Warrants). See “Description of Share Capital — Warrants — Warrants” for more information.

 

(2)

The increase in share capital and premium in the as adjusted column reflects the receipt of approximately $13,800,000 in net proceeds from this offering following the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants.

 

The table above is based on 8,321,632 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2023. This number excludes:

 

●

1,307,027 Ordinary Shares reserved for future issuance under our 2022 Incentive Plan;

 

●

60,096 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to certain investors upon the closing of the IPO with an exercise price of $4.04 per Ordinary Share; and

 

●

18,565 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to an advisor upon the closing of the IPO with an exercise price of $2.02 per Ordinary Share.

 

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our securities in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the price per Ordinary Share you will pay upon exercise of the Outstanding Warrants and the as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after exercise of all the Outstanding Warrants.

 

Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $5,145,000, representing approximately $0.62 per Ordinary Share. Net tangible book value per Ordinary Share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by 8,321,632, the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding at June 30, 2023.

 

After giving effect to the issuance of up to 7,153,783 Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of the Outstanding Warrants for cash in this offering, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023 would have been approximately $20,819,531 representing $1.35 per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.73 per Ordinary Share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.67 per Ordinary Share to Warrant holders purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering.

 

You should read this table in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023” attached as exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to our Report on Form 6-K filed on September 26, 2023 and incorporated by reference herein.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per Ordinary Share basis to investors in this offering:

 

Exercise price per Warrant						$	2.02
Exercise price per Underwriter’s Warrant						$	5.20
Historical net tangible book value (deficit) per Ordinary share as of June 30, 2023		$	0.62
Increase in net tangible book value per Ordinary Share attributable to new investors		$	0.73
As adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering						$	1.35
Dilution per Ordinary Share to Warrant holders						$	0.67

 

The information above assumes that all of the Outstanding Warrants are exercised and is based on 8,321,632 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2023. This number excludes:

 

●

1,307,027 Ordinary Shares reserved for future issuance under our 2022 Incentive Plan;

 

●

60,096 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to certain investors upon the closing of the IPO with an exercise price of $4.04 per Ordinary Share; and

 

●

18,565 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to an advisor upon the closing of the IPO with an exercise price of $2.02 per Ordinary Share.

 

The foregoing discussion and table do not take into account further dilution that could occur upon the exercise of options having a per share exercise or conversion price less than the per Ordinary Share initial public offering price in this offering.

 

To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, or we issue additional Ordinary Shares under our 2022 Incentive Plan, you may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current and future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of those securities could result in further dilution to the holders of our Ordinary Shares.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

The following description of our share capital and provisions of our amended and restated articles of association, or Articles of Association, are summaries and do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Articles of Association, Israeli law and any other documents referenced.

 

ORDINARY SHARES

 

As of September 29, 2023, our authorized share capital consisted of 43,567,567 Ordinary Shares. All of our outstanding Ordinary Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Our Ordinary Shares are not redeemable and are not subject to any preemptive right.

 

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “JFBR” since August 26, 2022.

 

Articles of Association

 

Purposes and Objects of the Company

 

Our purpose as stated in our Articles of Association includes every lawful purpose.

 

The Powers of the Directors

 

Our board of directors shall direct our policy and shall supervise the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and his actions. Our board of directors may exercise all powers that are not required under the Israeli Companies Law – 1999, or the Companies Law, or under our Articles of Association to be exercised or taken by our shareholders.

 

Rights Attached to Shares

 

Our Ordinary Shares shall confer upon the holders thereof:

 

●

equal right to attend and to vote at all of our general meetings, whether regular or special, with each Ordinary Share entitling the holder thereof, which attend the meeting and participate at the voting, either in person or by a proxy or by a written ballot, to one vote;

 

●

equal right to participate in distribution of dividends, if any, whether payable in cash or in bonus shares, in distribution of assets or in any other distribution, on a per share pro rata basis; and

 

●

equal right to participate, upon our dissolution, in the distribution of our assets legally available for distribution, on a per share pro rata basis.

 

Transfer of Shares

 

Our fully paid Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred under our Articles of Association, unless the transfer is restricted or prohibited by another instrument, applicable law or the rules of the Nasdaq. The ownership or voting of Ordinary Shares by non-residents of Israel is not restricted in any way by our Articles of Association, or the laws of the State of Israel, except for ownership by nationals of some countries that are, have been, or will be, in a state of war with Israel.

 

 

Election of Directors

 

Under our Articles of Association, our board of directors must consist of not less than three but no more than twelve directors. Each of our directors, other than the external directors, for whom special election requirements apply under the Companies Law, are appointed by a simple majority vote of holders of Ordinary Shares, participating and voting at an annual general meeting of our shareholders. Our directors are classified, with respect to the term for which they each severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as practicable, and designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, with one class being elected each year at the annual general meeting of our shareholders, and serve on our board of directors until the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election or until they are removed by a vote of 70% of the total voting power of our shareholders at a general meeting of our shareholders or upon the occurrence of certain events in accordance with the Companies Law and our Articles of Association. The initial Class I directors will hold office until the first annual general meeting to be held in 2023 and until their successors have been elected and qualified. The initial Class II directors will hold office until the annual general meeting to be held in 2024 and until their successors have been elected and qualified. The initial Class III directors will hold office until the annual general meeting to be held in 2025 and until their successors have been elected and qualified. The board of directors may assign members of the Board already in office to such classes at the time such classification becomes effective. If the number of directors is changed, any newly created directors or decrease in directors must be apportioned by the board among the classes to make them equal in number. In addition, our Articles of Association allow our board of directors to appoint directors to fill vacancies and/or as an addition to the board of directors (subject to the maximum number of directors). A director so appointed will hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders for the election of the class of directors in respect of which the vacancy was created, or in the case of a vacancy due to the number of directors being less than the maximum number of directors, until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders for the election of the class of directors to which such director was assigned by our board of directors. External directors are elected for an initial term of three years, may be elected for additional terms of three years each under certain circumstances, and may be removed from office pursuant to the terms of the Companies Law. See “Item 6.C.  Board Practices — External Directors” in our 2022 Annual Report.

 

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

 

We may declare a dividend to be paid to the holders of Ordinary Shares in proportion to their respective shareholdings. Under the Companies Law, dividend distributions are determined by the board of directors and do not require the approval of the shareholders of a company unless the company’s articles of association provide otherwise. Our Articles of Association do not require shareholder approval of a dividend distribution and provide that dividend distributions may be determined by our board of directors.

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the distribution amount is limited to the greater of retained earnings or earnings generated over the previous two years, according to the Company’s most recently reviewed or audited financial statements (less the amount of previously distributed dividends, if not reduced from the earnings), provided that the end of the period to which the financial statements relate is not more than six months prior to the date of the distribution. If we do not meet such criteria, then we may distribute dividends only with court approval. In each case, we are only permitted to distribute a dividend if our board of directors and, if applicable, the court determines that there is no reasonable concern that payment of the dividend will prevent us from satisfying our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due.

 

In the event of the Company’s liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, its assets will be distributed to the holders of Ordinary Shares in proportion to their shareholdings. This right, as well as the right to receive dividends, may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights which may be authorized in the future.

 

Exchange control

 

There are currently no Israeli currency control restrictions on remittances of dividends on Ordinary Shares, proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares or interest or other payments to non-residents of Israel, except for shareholders who are subjects of countries that at the time are, or have been, in a state of war with Israel.

 

 

Annual and Special Meetings

 

Under the Israeli law, we are required to hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders once every calendar year, at such time and place which shall be determined by our board of directors, that must be no later than 15 months after the date of the previous annual general meeting. All meetings other than the annual general meeting of shareholders are referred to as special general meetings. Our board of directors may call special meetings whenever it sees fit, at such time and place, within or outside of Israel, as it may determine. In addition, the Companies Law provides that our board of directors is required to convene a special general meeting of our shareholders upon the written request of: (a) any two of our directors or such number of directors equal to one quarter of the directors then at office; and/or (b) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, (i) 5% or more of our outstanding issued shares and 1% of our outstanding voting power or (ii) 5% or more of our outstanding voting power.

 

Under the Companies Law, one or more shareholders holding at least 1% of the voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders may request that the board of directors include a matter in the agenda of a general meeting of shareholders to be convened in the future, provided that it is appropriate to discuss such a matter at the general meeting. Our Articles of Association contain procedural guidelines and disclosure items with respect to the submission of shareholder proposals for general meetings. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, shareholders entitled to participate and vote at general meetings are the shareholders of record on a date to be decided by the board of directors, which, as a company listed on an exchange outside Israel, may be between four and forty days prior to the date of the meeting. Resolutions regarding the following matters must be passed at a general meeting of our shareholders:

 

●

amendments to our Articles of Association;

 

●

the exercise of our board of director’s powers by a general meeting if our board of directors is unable to exercise its powers and the exercise of any of its powers is required for our proper management;

 

●

appointment or termination of our auditors;

 

●

appointment of directors, including external directors;

 

●

approval of acts and transactions requiring general meeting approval pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law (mainly certain related party transactions and certain compensation matters) and any other applicable law;

 

●

increases or reductions of our authorized share capital; and

 

●

a merger (as such term is defined in the Companies Law).

 

Notices

 

The Companies Law and our Articles of Association require that a notice of any annual or special shareholders meeting be provided at least 14 or 21 days prior to the meeting (as applicable), and if the agenda of the meeting includes, among other things, the appointment or removal of directors, the approval of transactions with office holders or interested or related parties, approval of the company’s chief executive officer to serve as the chairman of the board of directors or an approval of a merger, notice must be provided at least 35 days prior to the meeting.

 

Quorum

 

As permitted under the Companies Law, the quorum required for our general meetings consists of at least two shareholders present in person, by proxy, written ballot or voting by means of electronic voting system, who hold or represent between them at least 25% of the total outstanding voting power. If within half an hour of the time set forth for the general meeting a quorum is not present, the general meeting shall stand adjourned the same day of the following week, at the same hour and in the same place, or to such other date, time and place as prescribed in the notice to the shareholders and in such adjourned meeting, if no quorum is present within half an hour of the time arranged, any number of shareholders participating in the meeting, shall constitute a quorum.

 

If a special general meeting was summoned following the request of a shareholder, and within half an hour a legal quorum shall not have been formed, the meeting shall be cancelled.

 

 

Adoption of Resolutions

 

Our Articles of Association provide that all resolutions of our shareholders require a simple majority vote, unless otherwise required under the Companies Law or our Articles of Association. A shareholder may vote in a general meeting in person, by proxy or by a written ballot.

 

Changing Rights Attached to Shares

 

Unless otherwise provided by the terms of the shares and subject to any applicable law, any modification of rights attached to any class of shares must be adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares of that class present a general meeting of the affected class or by a written consent of all the shareholders of the affected class.

 

The enlargement of an existing class of shares or the issuance of additional shares thereof, shall not be deemed to modify the rights attached to the previously issued shares of such class or of any other class, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the shares.

 

Limitations on the Right to Own Securities in Our Company

 

There are no limitations on the right to own our securities in our Articles of Association. In certain circumstances the Warrants have restrictions upon the exercise of such warrants if such exercise would result in the holders thereof owning more than 4.99% or 9.99% of our Ordinary Shares upon such exercise, as further described below.

 

Access to Corporate Records

 

Under the Companies Law, all shareholders generally have the right to review minutes of our general meetings, our shareholder register (including with respect to material shareholders), our Articles of Association, our financial statements, other documents as provided in the Companies Law, and any document we are required by law to file publicly with the Israeli Registrar of Companies or the Israeli Securities Authority. Any shareholder who specifies the purpose of its request may request to review any document in our possession that relates to any action or transaction with a related party which requires shareholder approval under the Companies Law. We may deny a request to review a document if it determines that the request was not made in good faith, that the document contains a commercial secret or a patent or that the document’s disclosure may otherwise impair its interests.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Acquisitions under Israeli Law

 

Full Tender Offer

 

A person wishing to acquire shares of a public Israeli company who would, as a result, hold over 90% of the target company’s voting rights or the target company’s issued and outstanding share capital (or of a class thereof), is required by the Companies Law to make a tender offer to all of the company’s shareholders for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the company (or the applicable class). If (a) the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company (or the applicable class) and the shareholders who accept the offer constitute a majority of the offerees that do not have a personal interest in the acceptance of the tender offer or (b) the shareholders who did not accept the tender offer hold less than 2% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company (or of the applicable class), all of the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer by operation of law. A shareholder who had its shares so transferred may petition an Israeli court within six months from the date of acceptance of the full tender offer, regardless of whether such shareholder agreed to the offer, to determine whether the tender offer was for less than fair value and whether the fair value should be paid as determined by the court. However, an offeror may provide in the offer that a shareholder who accepted the offer will not be entitled to petition the court for appraisal rights as described in the preceding sentence, as long as the offeror and the company disclosed the information required by law in connection with the full tender offer. If the full tender offer was not accepted in accordance with any of the above alternatives, the acquirer may not acquire shares of the company that will increase its holdings to more than 90% of the company’s voting rights or the company’s issued and outstanding share capital (or of the applicable class) from shareholders who accepted the tender offer. Shares purchased in contradiction to the full tender offer rules under the Companies Law will have no rights and will become dormant shares.

 

 

Special Tender Offer

 

The Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares of an Israeli public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company. This requirement does not apply if there is already another holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company. Similarly, the Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares of an Israeli public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company, if there is no other shareholder of the company who holds more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. These requirements do not apply if (i) the acquisition occurs in the context of a private placement by the company that received shareholder approval as a private placement whose purpose is to give the purchaser 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, if there is no person who holds 25% or more of the voting rights in the company or as a private placement whose purpose is to give the purchaser 45% of the voting rights in the company, if there is no person who holds 45% of the voting rights in the company, (ii) the acquisition was from a shareholder holding 25% or more of the voting rights in the company and resulted in the purchaser becoming a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, or (iii) the acquisition was from a shareholder holding more than 45% of the voting rights in the company and resulted in the purchaser becoming a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. A special tender offer must be extended to all shareholders of a company. A special tender offer may be consummated only if (i) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror and (ii) the number of shares tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares whose holders objected to the offer (excluding the purchaser, its controlling shareholders, holders of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company and any person having a personal interest in the acceptance of the tender offer, or anyone on their behalf, including any such person’s relatives and entities under their control).

 

In the event that a special tender offer is made, a company’s board of directors is required to express its opinion on the advisability of the offer, or shall abstain from expressing any opinion if it is unable to do so, provided that it gives the reasons for its abstention. The board of directors shall also disclose any personal interest that any of the directors has with respect to the special tender offer or in connection therewith. An office holder in a target company who, in his or her capacity as an office holder, performs an action the purpose of which is to cause the failure of an existing or foreseeable special tender offer or is to impair the chances of its acceptance, is liable to the potential purchaser and shareholders for damages, unless such office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to believe he or she was acting for the benefit of the company. However, office holders of the target company may negotiate with the potential purchaser in order to improve the terms of the special tender offer, and may further negotiate with third parties in order to obtain a competing offer.

 

If a special tender offer is accepted, then shareholders who did not respond to or that had objected the offer may accept the offer within four days of the last day set for the acceptance of the offer and they will be considered to have accepted the offer from the first day it was made.

 

In the event that a special tender offer is accepted, then the purchaser or any person or entity controlling it or under common control with the purchaser or such controlling person or entity at the time of the offer may not make a subsequent tender offer for the purchase of shares of the target company and may not enter into a merger with the target company for a period of one year from the date of the offer, unless the purchaser or such person or entity undertook to effect such an offer or merger in the initial special tender offer. Shares purchased in contradiction to the special tender offer rules under the Companies Law will have no rights and will become dormant shares.

 

Merger

 

The Companies Law permits merger transactions if approved by each party’s board of directors and, unless certain conditions described under the Companies Law are met, a simple majority of the outstanding shares of each party to the merger that are represented and voting on the merger. The board of directors of a merging company is required pursuant to the Companies Law to discuss and determine whether in its opinion there exists a reasonable concern that as a result of a proposed merger, the surviving company will not be able to satisfy its obligations towards its creditors, such determination taking into account the financial status of the merging companies. If the board of directors determines that such a concern exists, it may not approve a proposed merger. Following the approval of the board of directors of each of the merging companies, the boards of directors must jointly prepare a merger proposal for submission to the Israeli Registrar of Companies. For purposes of the shareholder vote of a merging company whose shares are held by the other merging company, or by a person or entity holding 25% or more of the voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders of the other merging company, or by a person or entity holding the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of the other merging company, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger will not be deemed approved if a majority of the shares voted on the matter at the general meeting of shareholders (excluding abstentions) that are held by shareholders other than the other party to the merger, or by any person or entity who holds 25% or more of the voting rights of the other party or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of the other party, or any one on their behalf including their relatives or corporations controlled by any of them, vote against the merger. In addition, if the non-surviving entity of the merger has more than one class of shares, the merger must be approved by each class of shareholders. If the transaction would have been approved but for the separate approval of each class or the exclusion of the votes of certain shareholders as provided above, a court may still approve the merger upon the request of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of a company, if the court holds that the merger is fair and reasonable, taking into account the valuation of the merging companies and the consideration offered to the shareholders. If a merger is with a company’s controlling shareholder or if the controlling shareholder has a personal interest in the merger, then the merger is instead subject to the same special majority approval that governs all extraordinary transactions with controlling shareholders.

 

 

Under the Companies Law, each merging company must deliver to its secured creditors the merger proposal and inform its unsecured creditors of the merger proposal and its content. Upon the request of a creditor of either party to the proposed merger, the court may delay or prevent the merger if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that, as a result of the merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of a merging company, and may further give instructions to secure the rights of creditors.

 

addition, a merger may not be completed unless at least 50 days have passed from the date that a proposal for approval of the merger is filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies and 30 days from the date that shareholder approval of both merging companies is obtained.

 

Anti-Takeover Measures

 

The Companies Law allows us to create and issue shares having rights different from those attached to the Ordinary Shares, including shares providing certain preferred rights with respect to voting, distributions or other matters and shares having preemptive rights. No preferred shares are authorized under our Articles of Association. In the future, if we do authorize, create and issue a specific class of preferred shares, such class of shares, depending on the specific rights that may be attached to it, may have the ability to frustrate or prevent a takeover or otherwise prevent our shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of the Ordinary Shares. The authorization and designation of a class of preferred shares will require an amendment to our Articles of Association, which requires the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the voting power attached to our issued and outstanding shares at a general meeting of our shareholders. The convening of the meeting, the shareholders entitled to participate and the vote required to be obtained at such a meeting will be subject to the requirements set forth in the Companies Law and our Articles of Association.” In addition, as disclosed under “— Election of Directors,” we have a classified board structure, which effectively limits the ability of any investor or potential investor or group of investors or potential investors to gain control of our board of directors.

 

Lastly, Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as stock-for-stock exchanges between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less favorably than U.S. tax laws. For example, Israeli tax law may, under certain circumstances, subject a shareholder who exchanges his Ordinary Shares for shares in another corporation to taxation prior to the sale of the shares received in such stock-for-stock swap.

 

Changes in Our Capital

 

The general meeting may, by a simple majority vote of the shareholders attending the general meeting:

 

●

increase our registered share capital by the creation of new shares from the existing class or a new class, as determined by the general meeting;

 

●

cancel any registered share capital which have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person;

 

●

consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of larger nominal value than our existing shares;

 

●

subdivide our existing shares or any of them, our share capital or any of it, into shares of smaller nominal value than is fixed; and

 

●

reduce our share capital and any fund reserved for capital redemption in any manner, and with and subject to any incident authorized, and consent required, by the Companies Law.

 

Exclusive Forum

 

Our Articles of Association provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any claim asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all such Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both U.S. state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favourable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees and may increase the costs associated with such lawsuits, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our Articles of Association inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our share capital shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the choice of forum provisions of our Articles of Association described above. This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our Ordinary Shares is VStock Transfer, LLC. Its address is 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598.

 

 

WARRANTS

 

As of September 29, 2023, we had issued and outstanding Warrants to purchase up to 4,143,385 Ordinary Shares, with an exercise price of $2.02 per Ordinary Share.

 

As of September 29, 2023, we also had issued and outstanding: (i) Additional Warrants to purchase up to 2,824,525 Ordinary Shares, which Additional Warrants were issued in connection with the Exercise Price Adjustment with an exercise price of $2.02 per share; (ii) warrants to purchase up to 60,096 Ordinary Shares, which warrants were issued to certain investors upon the closing of our IPO, with an exercise price of $4.04 per Ordinary Share, (iii) warrants to purchase up to 18,565 Ordinary Shares, which warrants were issued to an advisor upon the closing of our IPO, with an exercise price of $2.02 per Ordinary Share, and (iv) Underwriter’s Warrants to purchase up to 185,873 Ordinary Shares, with an exercise price of $5.20 per Ordinary Share.

 

Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the warrant agent agreement between us and VStock Transfer, LLC, as warrant agent, and the form of Warrant, both of which were filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.

 

Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five years after their original issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of Ordinary Shares purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of Ordinary Shares determined according to the formula set forth in the Warrant. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to us.

 

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole Ordinary Share purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants was $4.04 per share at initial issuance, or the Initial Exercise Price. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Ordinary Shares and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. The exercise price will also be downward adjusted if we, or through a subsidiary, sell or enter into an agreement to sell, grant an option to sell, reprice an outstanding security to acquire ordinary shares at a price less than the exercise price.

 

The exercise price will also be adjusted downward to the price of the newly issued security or adjusted price of the outstanding security, but will not adjust to less than a floor price of 50% of the Initial Exercise Price, or $2.02, which is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and recapitalizations, as stated above. The downward adjustment will not be made for certain Excluded Securities (as defined in the Warrant), including employment related option and similar security grants, exercise of such options and security grants, exercises of currently outstanding securities so long as not repriced, and issuances for acquisitions and strategic transactions. In the event that such adjustment shall cause the exercise price to be 50% of the Initial Exercise Price, then in connection with such adjustment, each Qualified Holder shall receive one Additional Warrant for each Warrant held by such holder on the date of adjustment.

 

 

The exercise price will also be reset, if, on the date that is 90 calendar days immediately following the Issuance Date, the Reset Price, as defined below, is less than the exercise price at such time. If so, the exercise price shall be decreased to the “Reset Price” which means the greater of (i) 50% of the Initial Exercise Price and (ii) 100% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our Ordinary Shares occurring during the 90 calendar days following the Issuance Date; provided that the Reset Price shall in no event be less than a floor price of 50% of the initial public offering price of the Units in this offering, or $2.02.

 

On September 7, 2022, the Company’s volume weighted average stock price was less than the exercise floor of $4.04 for the Warrants. Accordingly, effective after the closing of trading on November 28, 2022 (the 90^th calendar day immediately following the issuance date of the Warrants), the Warrants were adjusted pursuant to their terms, including, but not limited to, to adjust the exercise price of the Warrants to $2.02.

 

Home Country Practice. For so long as any of the Warrants remains outstanding, the Company will elect to follow home country practice in lieu of any rules and regulations of the trading market that would limit the Company’s ability to effect the provisions of the Warrants, including but not limited to shareholder approval rules related to the issuance of securities or adjustment of terms of this Warrant for the benefit of warrant holders.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

 

Warrant Agent. The Warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agent agreement between Vstock Transfer, LLC, as warrant agent, and us. The Warrants shall initially be represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the warrant agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

 

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrant) and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Ordinary Shares, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding Ordinary Shares, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the number of Ordinary Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, or depositary shares representing those shares, and any additional consideration receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by holders of the number of Ordinary Shares for which the Warrants are exercisable immediately prior to such.

 

Fundamental Transaction without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the Warrants. The holders of the Warrants may also require us or any successor entity to purchase the Warrants from the holders by paying to the holder an amount in cash (or other types or form of consideration in special circumstances listed in the Warrant) equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrant on the date of the fundamental transaction.

 

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our Ordinary Shares, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Ordinary Shares, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrant.

 

Right of Participation. Subject to certain exceptions, a holder of at least 120,192 Warrants as of the time the Company engages in a subsequent placement (as defined in the Warrant) will be entitled to participate in such subsequent placement subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant.

 

Governing Law. The Warrants and the warrant agent agreement are governed by New York law.

 

 

Underwriter’s Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Underwriter’s Warrants is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the form of Underwriter’s Warrant which was filed as exhibit to the Registration Statement.

 

As part of the IPO, we issued the Underwriter Underwriter’s Warrant to purchase up to 185,873 Ordinary Shares. The Underwriter’s Warrants are exercisable at $5.20 per Ordinary Share, became exercisable beginning on February 21, 2022 and will expire on August 25, 2027. The Underwriter’s Warrants may be exercised as to all, or a lesser number of Ordinary Shares, and provide for cashless exercise. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Underwriter’s Warrants and Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Underwriter’s Warrant exercise price or underlying Ordinary Shares will not be adjusted for issuances of Ordinary Shares at a price below the Underwriter’s Warrant exercise price.

 

Furthermore: (i) the Underwriter’s Warrants do not have more than one demand registration right at our Company’s expense in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(B); (ii) the Underwriter’s Warrants do not have a demand registration right with a duration of more than five years from the commencement of sales of the public offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C); (iii) the Underwriter’s Warrants do not have piggyback registration rights with a duration of more than seven years from the commencement of sales of the public offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D); and (iv) the Underwriter’s Warrants have anti-dilution terms that are consistent with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(E) and (F).

 

Additional Warrants

 

On September 7, 2022, the Company’s volume weighted average stock price was less than the exercise floor of $4.04 for the Warrants. In connection with the Exercise Price Adjustment, on November 28, 2022, each Qualified Holder received one Additional Warrant pursuant to Section 3(e)(vi) of the Warrant for each Warrant held by such holder on the date of adjustment and we issued Additional Warrants to purchase up to 2,824,525 Ordinary Shares.

 

The Additional Warrants have substantially the same terms as the as-adjusted Warrant; provided, however, that the term of the Additional Warrant is five (5) years from the issuance date, or November 28, 2027, and such Additional Warrant is not and will not be listed on any securities exchange. In addition, as long as the Additional Warrants are outstanding, each Qualified Holder will receive semi-annual payments equal to approximately 2% of our gross revenues, calculated for the first and second six-month fiscal periods, shared pro rata among such Qualified Holders.

 

The Additional Warrants may be redeemed by us at any time at a price equal to three times the as-adjusted exercise price, or $6.06.

 

Exclusive Forum

 

The agreements governing the Warrants and Additional Warrants provide that, and by purchasing Warrants in this offering investors will agree that, all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by the Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) will be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any such dispute and irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. The warrant agent agreements has a similar provision. In addition, the warrant agent agreement provides that the Company and the warrant agent each waive the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the warrant agent agreement. Each of the agreement governing the Warrants and the warrant agent agreement provide that the foregoing provisions do not limit or restrict the federal district court in which a party may bring a claim under the U.S. federal securities laws.

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements of Jeffs’ Brands Ltd as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for each of the two years then ended incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the Registration Statement have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., a Firm in the Deloitte Global Network, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

 

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 and the Israeli experts named in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, a substantial majority 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 a substantial 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 irrevocably appointed Puglisi & Associates as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any U.S. federal or state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering. The address of our agent is 850 Library Avenue, Newark, Delaware 19711.

 

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Meitar | Law Offices, Ramat Gan, Israel, 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, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the 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, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. 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 is 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;

 

●

adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence;

 

●

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 and 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; and

 

●

the judgment is enforceable according to the laws of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted.

 

If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli CPI 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.

 

Furthermore, our Articles of Association provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any claim asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all such Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both U.S. state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favourable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees and may increase the costs associated with such lawsuits, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our Articles of Association inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our share capital shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the choice of forum provisions of our Articles of Association described above. This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

 

Indemnification

 

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, against him or her; (2) in a criminal proceedings 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;

 

●

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 Procedures or Interruption of procedures subject to conditions) to the Securities Law; and

 

●

any other obligation or expense in respect of which it is permitted or will be permitted under the Companies Law, to indemnify an officer or director, subject to and in accordance with all applicable 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 entered into our standard form of indemnification agreement, the form of which filed as an exhibit to this registration statement, with each of our directors and members of our senior management. Each such indemnification agreement provides the indemnified persion with indemnification to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and up to certain amount, and to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by directors and officers insurance or other indemnification agreement.

 

 

Exculpation

 

Under the Companies Law, an Israeli company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty, but may exculpate 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 exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our Articles of Association provide that we may exculpate, 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 prohibit an exculpation from liability arising from a company’s transaction in which our controlling shareholder or officer has a personal interest. Subject to the aforesaid limitations, under the indemnification agreements, we exculpate 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. An Israeli company may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising from a breach of his or her duty of care in connection with a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Limitations

 

The Companies Law provides that we may not exculpate 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 except in the case of indemnity or insurance if 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, exculpation, 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, the chief executive officer or controlling shareholders, their relatives and third parties in which controlling shareholders have a personal interest, also 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, which 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.

 

Our Articles of Association permit us to exculpate (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 9. Undertakings

 

(a)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1)

That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2)

That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
