geopolitical tensions.
To
date, the Company's management confirms that the Company has not seen any material impact on its ongoing operations in Israel and its
ability to continue searching for new assets, aside from a negative effect on our marketable securities and potentially our ability to
raise additional funds if needed. At the same time, the Company continues to monitor its ongoing activities and make any needed adjustments
to ensure a smooth continuity of its business. The Company notes that its headquarters are in the center of the country, near Tel Aviv,
and not near any borders.
