PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS   SUBJECT TO COMPLETION   DATED MARCH 31, 2021

 

ON TRACK INNOVATIONS LTD.

 

18,965,517 Ordinary Shares

 

We are distributing to holders of our ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.10 per share, or ordinary shares, at no charge, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 18,965,517 ordinary shares. We refer to the offering that is the subject of this prospectus as the Rights Offering.

 

In the Rights Offering, you will receive                     subscription rights for each ordinary share held by you at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on ,                      2021, the record date of the Rights Offering. Subscription rights will not be tradable.

 

Subscription rights may only be exercised in whole numbers, and we will not issue fractional shares. To the extent that the number of subscription rights that are distributed to you on the record date is not a whole number, the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the subscription rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole share for purposes of determining the number of our ordinary shares for which you may subscribe. Each whole subscription right will entitle you to purchase one ordinary share at a subscription price per share of $0.174. Each subscription right consists of a basic subscription right and an over-subscription privilege. The basic subscription rights will be distributed in proportion to shareholders’ holdings on the record date. If you exercise your basic subscription rights in full, and other shareholders do not, you will be entitled to an over-subscription privilege to purchase a portion of the unsubscribed shares at the subscription price, subject to proration.

 

The subscription rights will expire if they are not exercised by 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on ,                      2021. We may extend the Rights Offering for additional periods in our sole discretion. Once made, all exercises of subscription rights are irrevocable.

 

There is no minimum amount of proceeds necessary in order for us to close the Rights Offering.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the information contained in this prospectus, before you invest.

 

This Rights Offering is being made directly by us. We are not using an underwriter or selling agent. Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., or Broadridge, will serve as the Subscription Agent and the Information Agent for the Rights Offering. The Subscription Agent will hold the funds we receive from subscribers until we complete, abandon or terminate the Rights Offering. If you want to participate in this Rights Offering and you are the record holder of your shares, we recommend that you submit your subscription documents to the Subscription Agent well before the deadline. If you want to participate in this Rights Offering and you hold shares through your broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee, you should promptly contact your broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee and submit your subscription documents in accordance with the instructions and within the time period provided by your broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee. For a more detailed discussion, see “The Rights Offering – The Subscription Rights” beginning on page 19.

 

Our Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate the Rights Offering for any reason any time before the completion of the Rights Offering. If we terminate the Rights Offering, all subscription payments received will be returned as soon as practicable, without interest or penalty.  

 

 

 

 

The Jerry Ivy, Jr. Descendants’ Trust, or Ivy, our controlling shareholder, has provided a commitment letter pursuant to which it committed to exercise its Basic Subscription Rights and its Over-Subscription Privilege, as such terms are defined below, for up to approximately $2,825,000 in the aggregate, subject, however, to the limitation that such holdings, including any of its affiliates, will not exceed 45% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital after conclusion of the Rights Offering. We refer to this commitment as the Backstop Commitment. The Backstop Commitment will expire if the registration statement this prospectus forms a part of is not declared effective by the SEC on or before April 23, 2021. Ivy will not receive any fee in connection with the Backstop Commitment. As of the date of this prospectus, Ivy and its affiliates own approximately 28.4% of our issued and outstanding shares. Ivy has a right to purchase additional shares from us upon conversion of $1,500,000 loan he extended to us and interest accrued thereon. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11.

 

Our ordinary shares are currently quoted on the OTCQX® market, or OTCQX, under the symbol OTIVF. On March 30, 2021, the closing bid price of our ordinary shares on the OTCQX was $0.35 per share.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RELATING TO THE RIGHTS OFFERING

 

The following are examples of what we anticipate will be common questions about the Rights Offering. The answers are based on selected information included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following questions and answers do not contain all of the information that may be important to you and may not address all of the questions that you may have about the Rights Offering. This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus contain more detailed descriptions of the terms and conditions of the Rights Offering and provide additional information about us and our business, including potential risks related to the Rights Offering, the shares offered hereby, and our business. We urge you to read this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

 

Why are we conducting the Rights Offering?

 

We are making the Rights Offering to raise funds primarily to support our working capital needs and fund our operations and to a lesser degree for new product development activities. The Rights Offering provides our existing shareholders the opportunity to participate in our capital-raising efforts in a manner that allows them to maintain, and possibly increase, their proportional ownership interest in us.

 

What is the Rights Offering?

 

We are distributing, at no charge, to record holders of our ordinary shares, non-transferable subscription rights, or the Subscription Rights, to purchase up to approximately 18,965,517 ordinary shares at a price per share of $0.0174, or the Subscription Price. The Subscription Rights will not be tradable. You will receive                    Subscription Rights for each ordinary share that you owned as of 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on ,                    2021, or the Record Date. Each whole Subscription Right entitles the record holder to a basic subscription right, or the Basic Subscription Right, and an over-subscription privilege, or the Over-Subscription Privilege, as further discussed below. Subscription Rights may only be exercised in whole numbers, and we will not issue fractional shares. To the extent that the number of Subscription Rights that are distributed to you on the Record Date is not a whole number, the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole share for purposes of determining the number of ordinary shares for which you may subscribe. There is no minimum amount of proceeds necessary in order for us to close the Rights Offering.

 

Who may participate in the Rights Offering?

 

Only shareholders of our Company as of 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on the Record Date of ,                    2021 may participate in the Rights Offering.

 

What are the Basic Subscription Rights?

 

For each whole share you own as of the Record Date, you will receive                    Basic Subscription Rights. Subscription Rights may only be exercised in whole numbers, and we will not issue fractional shares. To the extent that the number of Subscription Rights that are distributed to you on the Record Date is not a whole number, the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole share for purposes of determining the number of ordinary shares for which you may subscribe. Therefore, shareholders holding at least                    ordinary shares as of the Record Date will be eligible to participate in the Rights Offering. Each whole subscription right will entitle you to purchase one share at the Subscription Price per share of $0.174.

 

For example, if you owned 1,000 ordinary shares of the Company as of the Record Date, you will receive                    Subscription Rights and will have the right to purchase                    ordinary shares of the Company for a total purchase price of                    . You may exercise all or a portion of your Basic Subscription Rights, or you may choose not to exercise any Basic Subscription Rights at all.

 

If you are a record holder, the number of shares you may purchase pursuant to your Basic Subscription Rights is indicated on the enclosed Subscription Rights Statement. If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee who uses the services of the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, you will not receive a Subscription Rights Statement. Instead, DTC will issue                   Subscription Rights to your nominee record holder for each ordinary share of the Company that you own as of the Record Date. If you are not contacted by your nominee, you should contact your nominee as soon as possible.

What is the Over-Subscription Privilege?

 

If you exercise your Basic Subscription Rights in full, you may also choose to exercise your Over-Subscription Privilege to purchase a portion of any shares that the other record holders do not purchase through the exercise of their Basic Subscription Rights. You should indicate on your Subscription Rights Statement, or the form provided by your nominee if your shares are held in the name of a nominee, how many additional shares, if any, you would like to purchase pursuant to your Over-Subscription Privilege.

 

If sufficient shares are available, we will seek to honor your Over-Subscription Privilege request in full. If Over-Subscription Privilege requests exceed the number of shares available, however, we will allocate the available shares pro-rata among the record holders exercising their Over-Subscription Privilege in proportion to the number of ordinary shares each of those record holders owned on the Record Date, relative to the number of shares owned on the Record Date by all record holders exercising the Over-Subscription Privilege. If this pro-rata allocation results in any record holders receiving a greater number of shares than the number for which the record holder subscribed pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege, then such record holder will be allocated only that number of shares for which the record holder oversubscribed, and the remaining shares will be allocated among all other record holders exercising their Over-Subscription Privilege on the same pro rata basis described above. The proration process will be repeated until all shares have been allocated. See “The Rights Offering – Limitation on the Purchase of Shares” beginning on page 20 for a description of certain limitations on purchase.

 

To properly exercise your Over-Subscription Privilege, you must deliver to the Subscription Agent your completed Subscription Rights Statement and the subscription payment related to your Over-Subscription Privilege before the Rights Offering expires. See “The Rights Offering – The Subscription Rights – Over-Subscription Privilege” beginning on page 19. To the extent you properly exercise your Over-Subscription Privilege for a number of shares that exceeds the number of unsubscribed shares available to you, any excess subscription payments will be returned to you as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Rights Offering, without interest or penalty.

 

Broadridge Inc., our Subscription Agent for the Rights Offering, will determine the Over-Subscription allocation based on the formula described above.

 

What effect will the Rights Offering have on our outstanding ordinary shares?

 

On               , 2021,               of our ordinary shares were outstanding. Based on the foregoing, and assuming no other transactions by us involving our ordinary shares prior to the expiration of the Rights Offering, if the Rights Offering is fully subscribed, approximately               ordinary shares will be issued and outstanding. The exact number of shares that we will issue in this Rights Offering will depend on the number of shares that are subscribed for in the Rights Offering.

 

What is the Backstop Commitment?

 

In connection with the Rights Offering, Ivy, our controlling shareholder, has undertaken to exercise its Basic Subscription Rights and its Over-Subscription Privilege for up to approximately $2,825,000 in the aggregate, subject, however, to the limitation that its aggregate holdings in the Company, including its affiliates, will not exceed 45% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital after conclusion of the Rights Offering, or the 45% Threshold Limitation. This undertaking will expire if the registration statement this prospectus forms a part of is not declared effective by the SEC on or before April 23, 2021. To the extent that no other shareholder participates in the Rights Offering, Ivy would be able to subscribe for up to approximately $2.8 million of our shares in the Rights Offering without reaching the 45% Threshold Limitation.

What other rights does Ivy have to purchase ordinary shares from us?

 

Ivy has additional rights to purchase our ordinary shares. On December 9, 2020 we entered into a loan agreement, or the Loan Agreement, with Ivy. Under the Loan Agreement, as amended, we received from Ivy and another lender a loan in the aggregate amount of $1,600,000. The loan amount and interest thereon may be converted, at the discretion of Ivy, into our ordinary shares at a price per share of $0.174 if converted on or before June 17, 2021 and $0.124 if converted thereafter. Ivy lent us $1,500,000 out of the aggregate amount of $1,600,000 under the Loan Agreement. If Ivy would convert such amount plus interest into our ordinary shares, it would result in approximately additional approximately 8,900,000 ordinary shares issued to Ivy if the conversion would be made at a conversion price of approximately $0.174 per share and it would result in approximately additional 12,500,000 ordinary shares issued to Ivy if the conversion would be made at a conversion price of $0.124 per share.

 

How was the Subscription Price determined?

 

We are making the Rights Offering to raise funds primarily to support our working capital needs and fund our operations and to a lesser degree for new product development activities. When determining the Subscription Price, our Board considered, among other things, the need to raise additional funds to finance our business activity, the price of the Company’s shares on the OTCQX, the limited availability of financial resources to us and the terms of the Loan Agreement. Our Board determined that setting the Subscription Price to equal the conversion price set forth in the Loan Agreement, as it would be on the Record Date, i.e., $0.174 per share, would be the most equitable outcome for the Company and its shareholders.

 

As the Rights Offering is available only to our shareholders as of the Record Date, the Subscription Price does not necessarily bear any relationship to any established criteria for value. You should not consider the Subscription Price as an indication of actual value of the Company or our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that the market price of our ordinary shares will not decline during or after the Rights Offering. You should obtain a current price quote for our ordinary shares before exercising your Subscription Rights and make your own assessment of our business and financial condition, our prospects for the future, and the terms of this Rights Offering. Once made, all exercises of Subscription Rights are irrevocable.

 

Will fractional shares be issued upon exercise of Subscription Rights?

 

No. We will not issue fractional shares upon exercise of Subscription Rights or cash in lieu of fractional shares. To the extent that the number of Subscription Rights that are distributed to you on the Record Date is not a whole number, the number of ordinary shares of the Company issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole share for purposes of determining the number of ordinary shares for which you may subscribe.

 

Am I required to exercise all of the Basic Subscription Rights I receive in the Rights Offering?

 

No. You may exercise any number of your Basic Subscription Rights, or you may choose not to exercise any Basic Subscription Rights. If you do not exercise any Basic Subscription Rights, the number of ordinary shares of the Company you own will not change. However, if you choose to not exercise your Basic Subscription Rights in full, your proportionate ownership interest in the Company will decrease, assuming other shareholders decide to exercise their Basic Subscription Rights. If you do not exercise your Basic Subscription Rights in full, you will not be entitled to exercise your Over-Subscription Privilege.

 

How soon must I act to exercise my Subscription Rights?

 

If you received a Subscription Rights Statement and elect to exercise any or all of your Subscription Rights, the Subscription Agent must receive your properly completed and signed Subscription Rights Statement and payment for both your Basic Subscription Rights and any Over-Subscription Privilege you elect to exercise, including final clearance of any uncertified check, before the Rights Offering expires on , 2021, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank, or other nominee, your nominee may establish a deadline before the expiration of the Rights Offering by which you must provide it with your instructions to exercise your Subscription Rights, along with the required subscription payment.

May I transfer my Subscription Rights?

 

No. The Subscription Rights may be exercised only by the shareholders to whom they are distributed, and they may not be sold, transferred, assigned or given away to anyone else, other than by operation of law. As a result, a Subscription Rights Statement may be completed only by the shareholder who receives the statement. The Subscription Rights will not be listed for trading on any stock exchange or market.

 

Will our directors, executive officers and significant shareholders participate in the Rights Offering?

 

To the extent they hold ordinary shares of the Company as of the Record Date, our directors, executive officers and significant shareholders will be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering on the same terms and conditions applicable to other Subscription Rights holders. However, other than Ivy, who provided the Backstop Commitment, and Bill Anderson, one of our directors who advised us that he intends to subscribe for his Basic Subscription Rights, there can be no guarantee that any such holders will participate.

 

Has the Board of Directors made a recommendation to shareholders regarding the Rights Offering?

 

No. Our Board of Directors is not making a recommendation regarding your exercise of the Subscription Rights. Shareholders who exercise Subscription Rights will incur investment risk on new money invested. We cannot predict the price at which ordinary shares of the Company will trade after the Rights Offering. On March 30, 2021, the closing price of our ordinary shares on the OTCQX was $0.35 per share. The market price for our ordinary shares may be above the Subscription Price or may be below the Subscription Price. If you exercise your Subscription Rights, you may not be able to sell the underlying ordinary shares of the Company in the future at the same price or a higher price. You should make your decision whether to exercise your Subscription Rights based on your assessment of our business and financial condition, our prospects for the future, the terms of the Rights Offering and the information contained in this prospectus. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 for discussion of some of the risks involved in investing in our securities.

 

How do I exercise my Subscription Rights?

 

If you are a shareholder of record (meaning you hold your ordinary shares in your name and not through a broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee) and you wish to participate in the Rights Offering, you must deliver a properly completed and signed Subscription Rights Statement, together with payment of the Subscription Price for both your Basic Subscription Rights and any Over-Subscription Privilege you elect to exercise, to the Subscription Agent before 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on               , 2021.

 

If you cannot deliver your Subscription Rights Statement to the Subscription Agent before the expiration of the Rights Offering, you may use the procedures for guaranteed delivery as described in this prospectus under “The Rights Offering – Guaranteed Delivery Procedures” beginning on page 22 of this prospectus.

 

If you are exercising your Subscription Rights through your broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee, you should promptly contact your broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee and submit your subscription documents, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (if applicable) and payment for the shares subscribed for in accordance with the instructions and within the time period provided by your broker, dealer, bank or other nominee.

 

What if my shares are held in “street name”?

 

If you hold your ordinary shares in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee, then your broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee is the record holder of the shares you own. The record holder must exercise the Subscription Rights on your behalf. Therefore, you will need to have your record holder act for you.

 

If you wish to participate in this Rights Offering and purchase shares, please promptly contact the record holder of your shares. We will ask the record holder of your shares, who may be your broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee, to notify you of this Rights Offering.

What form of payment is required?

 

You must timely pay the full Subscription Price for the full number of shares you wish to acquire pursuant to the exercise of Subscription Rights by delivering to the Subscription Agent a:

 

Cashier’s check drawn on a U.S. bank; or

 

Wire transfer.

 

If you send a payment that is insufficient to purchase the number of shares you requested, or if the number of shares you requested is not specified in the forms, the payment received will be applied to exercise your Subscription Rights to the fullest extent possible based on the amount of the payment received.

 

When will I receive my new ordinary shares of the Company?

 

The Subscription Agent will arrange for the issuance of our ordinary shares as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Rights Offering, payment for the shares subscribed for has cleared, and all prorating calculations and reductions contemplated by the terms of the Rights Offering have been effected. All shares that you purchase in the Rights Offering will be issued in book-entry or uncertificated form, meaning that you will receive a direct registration, or DRS, account statement from our transfer agent reflecting ownership of these securities if you are a holder of record of shares. If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee, DTC will credit your account with your nominee with the securities you purchase in the Rights Offering.

 

After I send in my payment and Subscription Rights Statement to the Subscription Agent, may I cancel my exercise of Subscription Rights?

 

No. Exercises of Subscription Rights are irrevocable, unless the Rights Offering is terminated, even if you later learn information that you consider to be unfavorable to the exercise of your Subscription Rights. You should not exercise your Subscription Rights unless you are certain that you wish to purchase shares at the Subscription Price.

 

How much will the Company receive from the Rights Offering?

 

Assuming that all shares are sold in the Rights Offering, including the exercise of all Over-Subscription Privileges, we estimate that the net proceeds from the Rights Offering will be approximately $3.15 million, based on a Subscription Price of $0.174 per share and after deducting other expenses payable by us.

 

Are there risks in exercising my Subscription Rights?

 

Yes. The exercise of your Subscription Rights involves risks. Exercising your Subscription Rights involves the purchase of additional ordinary shares, and you should consider this investment as carefully as you would consider any other investment. We cannot assure you that the market price of our ordinary shares will exceed the Subscription Price, nor can we assure you that the market price of our ordinary shares will not further decline during or after the Rights Offering. We also cannot assure you that you will be able to sell our ordinary shares purchased in the Rights Offering at a price equal to or greater than the Subscription Price. In addition, you should carefully consider the risks described herein. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 for discussion of some of the risks involved in investing in our securities.

 

Can the Board of Directors terminate or extend the Rights Offering?

 

Yes. Our Board of Directors may decide to terminate the Rights Offering at any time and for any reason before the expiration of the Rights Offering. We also have the right to extend the Rights Offering for additional periods in our sole discretion. We do not presently intend to extend the Rights Offering. We will notify shareholders if the Rights Offering is terminated or extended by issuing a press release.

 

If the Rights Offering is not completed or is terminated, will my subscription payment be refunded to me?

 

Yes. The Subscription Agent will hold all funds it receives in a segregated bank account until completion of the Rights Offering. If we do not complete the Rights Offering, all subscription payments received by the Subscription Agent will be returned as soon as practicable after the termination or expiration of the Rights Offering, without interest or penalty. If you own shares in “street name,” it may take longer for you to receive your subscription payment because the Subscription Agent will return payments through the record holder of your shares.

What fees or charges apply if I purchase shares in the Rights Offering?

 

We are not charging any fee or sales commission to issue Subscription Rights to you or to issue shares to you if you exercise your Subscription Rights. If you exercise your Subscription Rights through a broker, dealer, custodian bank, or other nominee, you are responsible for paying any fees your broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee may charge you.

 

What if I do not exercise my Subscription Rights?

 

If you do not exercise your Subscription Rights before the Expiration Date, your Subscription Rights will automatically terminate. By not exercising your Subscription Rights in the Rights Offering, you will experience dilution in your proportionate interest in the Company if other shareholders of the Company exercise their Subscription Rights. In addition, as a result of the Backstop Commitment, if shareholders do not exercise their Subscription Rights, Ivy’s percentage of ownership of our ordinary shares will increase.

 

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving or exercising my Subscription Rights?

 

A U.S. holder of ordinary shares likely will not recognize any income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with the receipt or exercise of subscription rights. However, no tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service will be sought for the rights offering. You should consult your own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of the Rights Offering in light of your particular circumstances. For a more detailed discussion, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 26.

 

What are the Israeli income tax consequences of receiving or exercising my Subscription Rights?

 

An Israeli holder of ordinary shares likely will not recognize any income, gain or loss for Israeli income tax purposes in connection with the receipt or exercise of subscription rights. However, no tax ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority will be sought for the rights offering. You should consult your own tax advisor as to the particular consequences to you of the rights offering. See “Material Israeli Tax Considerations” beginning on page 28.

 

To whom should I send my forms and payment?

 

If your shares are held in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee, then you should send your subscription documents, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (if applicable) and subscription payment to that broker, dealer, bank, or other nominee.

The Rights Offering

 

Securities to be offered:   We are distributing, at no charge, to holders of our ordinary shares on the Record Date, either as a holder of record or, in the case of shares held of record by brokers, banks, or other nominees, on your behalf, as a beneficial owner of such shares, non-transferrable Subscription Rights to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 18,965,517 ordinary shares.
     
Subscription Price:   $0.174 per share.
     
Record Date:                 , 2021
     
Subscription Right:   Each Subscription Right consists of a Basic Subscription Right and an Over-Subscription Privilege. You are under no obligation to exercise your rights to subscribe for any shares in the Rights Offering. If you choose not to participate in the Rights Offering, you do not have to take any special action to decline to participate.
     
Basic Subscription Rights:   Each whole Basic Subscription Right will entitle you to purchase one ordinary share at the Subscription Price. Subscription Rights may only be exercised in whole numbers, and we will not issue fractional shares. To the extent that the number of Subscription Rights that are distributed to you on the Record Date is not a whole number, the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole share for purposes of determining the number of our ordinary shares for which you may subscribe.
     
Over-Subscription Privilege:   If you exercise your Basic Subscription Rights in full, you may also choose to purchase a portion of any shares that are not purchased by our other shareholders through the exercise of their Basic Subscription Rights, subject to a proration described elsewhere.

Expiration Date:   The Subscription Rights will expire at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on             , 2021. We reserve the right to extend the Expiration Date in our sole discretion.
     
Procedure for exercising subscription Rights:  

To exercise your Subscription Rights, you must take the following steps:

 

If you are a record holder of our ordinary shares, you must deliver payment and a properly completed and signed Subscription Rights Statement to the Subscription Agent to be received before 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on , 2021. You may deliver the documents and payments by first class mail or courier service. If you use first class mail for this purpose, we recommend using certified mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested.

 

If you are a beneficial owner of shares that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank, or other nominee, you should instruct your broker, dealer, custodian bank, or other nominee to exercise your Subscription Rights on your behalf. Please follow the instructions of your nominee, who may require that you meet a deadline earlier than 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on , 2021.

     
Delivery of shares:   As soon as practicable after the expiration of the Rights Offering, the Subscription Agent will arrange for the issuance of the ordinary shares purchased pursuant to the Rights Offering. All shares that are purchased in the Rights Offering will be issued in book-entry or uncertificated form, meaning that you will receive a direct registration account statement from our transfer agent reflecting ownership of these securities if you are a holder of record of shares. If you hold your shares in the name of a custodian bank, broker, dealer, or other nominee, DTC will credit your account with your nominee with the securities you purchased in the Rights Offering.
     
Non-transferability of Subscription Rights:   The Subscription Rights may not be sold, transferred, assigned or given away to anyone. The Subscription Rights will not be listed for trading on any stock exchange or market.
     
No board recommendation:   Our Board of Directors is not making a recommendation regarding your exercise of the Subscription Rights. You are urged to make your decision to invest based on your own assessment of our business and the Rights Offering. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 for a discussion of some of the risks involved in the Right Offering and investing in our securities.
     
No revocation:   All exercises of Subscription Rights are irrevocable, even if you later learn of information that you consider to be unfavorable to the exercise of your Subscription Rights.
     
The Backstop Commitment   Ivy, our controlling shareholder, has undertaken to exercise its Basic Subscription Rights and its Over-Subscription Privilege for up to approximately $2,825,000 in the aggregate, subject, however, to the limitation that its aggregate holdings in the Company, including its affiliates, not exceed the 45% Threshold Limitation. Such undertaking will expire if the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part of is not declared effective by the SEC on or before April 23, 2021. To the extent that no other shareholder participates in the Rights Offering, Ivy would be able to subscribe for up to approximately $2.8 million of our shares in the Rights Offering without reaching the 45% Threshold Limitation.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our ordinary shares involves risks. Please carefully consider the risk factors described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, including those set forth under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any other documents we may file in the future and that will be incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus. You should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment.

 

Risks Related to this Rights Offering and the Ownership of the Ordinary Shares

 

This Rights Offering may cause the trading price of our ordinary shares to decrease.

 

The Subscription Price represents a % discount to the closing sale price of our ordinary shares, as reported by the OTCQX, of $ per share on , 2021. The Subscription Price, together with the number of the ordinary shares we propose to issue and ultimately will issue if this Rights Offering is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our ordinary shares. This decrease may continue after the completion of this Rights Offering. If that occurs, you may have committed to buy ordinary shares in the Rights Offering at a price greater than the prevailing market price. Further, if a substantial number of Subscription Rights are exercised and the holders of the shares received upon exercise of those Subscription Rights choose to sell some or all of the shares underlying the Subscription Rights, the resulting sales could depress the market price of our ordinary shares. Following the exercise of your Subscription Rights you may not be able to sell your ordinary shares at a price equal to or greater than the Subscription Price.

 

Your interest in the Company may be diluted as a result of this Rights Offering or due to other transactions.

 

Shareholders who do not fully exercise their Subscription Rights should expect that they will, at the completion of this offering, own a smaller proportional interest in the Company than would otherwise be the case had they fully exercised their Basic Subscription Right and Over-Subscription Privilege. On , 2021, we had ordinary shares outstanding. Additionally, as of , 2021, we had ordinary shares underlying outstanding options. The conversion or exercise of all or a portion of these options would result in additional dilution to your ownership interest. If we do not increase our revenue or reduce our expenses, we may need to raise additional capital, which may result in further dilution to our shareholders. We may also consider other options from time to time in order to improve our capital structure, including pursuing strategic alternatives.

 

Ivy has provided us with the Backstop Commitment. As a result, if the Rights Offering is completed, the beneficial ownership of Ivy will increase if other Subscription Rights are not exercised. This concentration of ownership of our ordinary shares could delay or prevent mergers, tender offers or other purchases of out ordinary shares that might otherwise give our shareholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for our ordinary shares. This concentration of ownership may also adversely affect our share price.

 

In addition, as of the date of this prospectus, Ivy holds of our ordinary shares, constituting % of our outstanding shares. In addition, under the Loan Agreement, we received from Ivy and another lender a loan in the aggregate amount of $1,600,000. The loan amount and interest thereon may be converted, at the discretion of Ivy, into our ordinary shares at a price per share of $0.174 if converted on or before June 17, 2021 and $0.124 if converted thereafter. If the loan amount and interest would be converted into our ordinary shares, it would result in approximately additional approximately 9,500,000 ordinary shares issued to the lenders if the conversion would be made at a conversion price of approximately $0.174 per share and it would result in approximately additional 13,333,000 ordinary shares issued to the lenders if the conversion would be made at a conversion price of $0.124 per share. In any event, the conversion of the aggregate loan amount of $1,600,000 and accrued interest would cause additional dilution to your ownership interest.

 

Because the Subscription Price is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per ordinary share, you may suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of our ordinary shares you purchase in the Rights Offering. If you purchase shares in the Rights Offering at the Subscription Price, you may suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of our ordinary shares. See “Dilution” beginning on page 18 for a more detailed discussion of the dilution which may incur in connection with the Rights Offering.

 

11

 

 

Completion of the Rights Offering is not subject to us raising a minimum offering amount and we will still need additional funding to carry out our proposed operating activities after the Rights Offering.

 

Ivy has committed to exercising its Basic Subscription Rights and its Over-Subscription Privileges, for an aggregate subscription of up to approximately $2,825,000. We have no guarantee that Ivy will honor its undertaking, which would anyway expire if the registration statement this prospectus forms a part of is not declared effective by the SEC on or before April 23, 2021. Accordingly, completion of the Rights Offering is not subject to us raising a minimum offering amount and, therefore, the net proceeds from the Rights Offering may be insufficient to meet our objectives, thereby increasing the risk to investors in this offering, including investing in a company that likely will continue to require capital.

 

Because the exercise of your Subscription Rights is not revocable, you could be committed to buying our ordinary shares above the prevailing market price.

 

Once you exercise your Subscription Rights, you may not revoke such exercise even if you later learn information that you consider to be unfavorable to the exercise of your Subscription Rights. The market price of our ordinary shares may decline prior to the expiration of the Rights Offering or a Subscribing Rights holder may not be able to sell our ordinary shares purchased in this offering at a price equal to or greater than the Subscription Price. Until our ordinary shares are delivered upon expiration of the Rights Offering, you will not be able to sell or transfer the ordinary shares that you purchase in the Rights Offering. Any such delivery will occur as soon as practicable after the Rights Offering has expired, payment for the ordinary shares has cleared, and all prorating calculations and reductions contemplated by the terms of the Rights Offering have been effected.

 

If we terminate this Rights Offering for any reason, we will have no obligation other than to return subscription payments as soon as practicable.

 

We may decide, in our sole discretion and for any reason, to cancel or terminate, in whole or in part, the Rights Offering at any time prior to the Expiration Date. If this Rights Offering is cancelled or terminated, in whole or in part, we will have no obligation with respect to Subscription Rights that have been exercised except to return as soon as practicable, without interest, the subscription payments deposited with the Subscription Agent. If we terminate this Rights Offering and you have not exercised any Subscription Rights, such Subscription Rights will expire.

 

The price of our ordinary shares may be volatile.

 

The trading price of our ordinary shares may fluctuate significantly. The price of our ordinary shares that will prevail in the market after this Rights Offering may be higher or lower than the Subscription Price depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

The terms of any potential future transaction(s) related to debt financing, debt restructuring or capital raising;

 

Announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by us or our present or potential competitors;

 

Developments or disputes concerning patent or other proprietary rights;

 

Developments in our relationships with employees, suppliers, distributors, sales representatives and customers;

 

Acquisitions or divestitures;

 

Litigation and government proceedings;

 

Adverse legislation, including changes in governmental regulation;

 

Additions or departures of key personnel;

 

Sales of our equity securities by our significant shareholders or management or sales of additional equity securities by our company;

 

Changes in securities analysts’ recommendations;

 

Short selling;

 

Economic and other external factors; and

 

General market conditions.

 

Additionally, the stock market historically has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, may cause declines in the trading price and market value of our ordinary shares.

 

12

 

 

The Subscription Price determined for this Rights Offering is not an indication of the fair value of our ordinary shares.

 

In determining the Subscription Price, our Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the price per share at which shares were sold pursuant to the Loan Agreement, our need for additional capital and liquidity and the cost of capital from other sources. A key factor in determining the Subscription Price was the conversion price set forth in the Loan Agreement, assuming conversion of the loan under the Loan Agreement on the Record Date. The Subscription Price does not necessarily bear any relationship to the book value of our assets, results of operations, cash flows, losses, financial condition or any other established criteria for value. You should not consider the Subscription Price as an indication of the fair value of our ordinary shares. After the date of this prospectus, our ordinary shares may trade at prices above or below the Subscription Price.

 

You will not have any rights in the ordinary shares that you purchase until you actually receive such ordinary shares.

 

You will not have any rights in the shares that you purchase in the Rights Offering until such ordinary shares are actually issued and received by you. We intend to issue the shares as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiration of the Rights Offering. However, there may be a delay between the Expiration Date of the Rights Offering and the date the ordinary shares are actually issued and delivered to you. You may not be able to resell the shares that you purchase in the Rights Offering until you, or your broker, custodian bank or other nominee, if applicable, have actually received those shares.

 

If you do not act on a timely basis and follow the subscription instructions, your exercise of Subscription Rights may be rejected.

 

Holders of Subscription Rights who desire to purchase our ordinary shares in this Rights Offering must act on a timely basis to ensure that all required forms and payments are actually received by the Subscription Agent prior to 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, unless extended. If you are a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares and you wish to exercise your Subscription Rights, you must act promptly to ensure that your broker, dealer, custodian bank, trustee or other nominee acts for you and that all required forms and payments are actually received by your broker, dealer, custodian bank, trustee or other nominee in sufficient time to deliver such forms and payments to the Subscription Agent to exercise the Subscription Rights granted in this Rights Offering that you beneficially own prior to 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, as may be extended. We will not be responsible if your broker, dealer, custodian bank, trustee or other nominee fails to ensure that all required forms and payments are actually received by the Subscription Agent prior to 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date.

 

If you fail to complete and sign the required subscription forms, send an incorrect payment amount, or otherwise fail to follow the subscription procedures that apply to the exercise of your Subscription Rights in this Rights Offering, the Subscription Agent may, depending on the circumstances, reject your subscription or accept it only to the extent of the payment received. Neither we nor the Subscription Agent undertakes to contact you concerning an incomplete or incorrect subscription form or payment, nor are we under any obligation to correct such forms or payment. We have the sole discretion to determine whether a subscription exercise properly follows the subscription procedures.

 

13

 

 

You may not receive all of the shares for which you over-subscribe.

 

Holders who fully exercise their Basic Subscription Rights will be entitled to subscribe for an additional number of shares pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege. Over-Subscription Privileges will be allocated pro rata among Subscription Rights holders who over-subscribed, as described elsewhere in this prospectus. We cannot guarantee that you will receive any or the entire number of shares for which you over-subscribed. If the prorated number of shares allocated to you in connection with your Over-Subscription Privilege is less than your over-subscription request, then the excess funds held by the Subscription Agent on your behalf will be returned to you, without interest, as soon as practicable after the Rights Offering has expired and all prorating calculations and reductions contemplated by the terms of the Rights Offering have been effected, and we will have no further obligations to you.

 

The receipt of rights may be treated as a taxable distribution to you.

 

We believe that the distribution of subscription rights in the rights offering likely will be non-taxable under U.S. federal income tax laws. However, this position is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and if the rights offering were deemed to be part of a “disproportionate distribution” under U.S. income tax laws, a U.S. holder’s receipt of subscription rights in the rights offering could be taxable. Each U.S. holder of ordinary shares is urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequences of the rights offering to him, her or it. Please see the discussion under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” starting on page 26 below.

 

The distribution of subscription rights in the rights offering likely will be non-taxable under Israeli income tax laws. Please see the discussion under “Material Israeli Tax Considerations” starting on page 28 below. However, no tax ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority will be sought for the rights offering. Each Israeli resident holder of ordinary shares is urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequences of the rights offering to him, her or it.

 

The Subscription Rights are not transferable, and there is no market for the Subscription Rights.

 

You may not sell, transfer, assign or give away your Subscription Rights. Because the Subscription Rights are non-transferable, there is no market or other means for you to directly realize any value associated with the Subscription Rights. You must exercise the Subscription Rights to realize any potential value from your Subscription Rights.

 

Our management will retain broad discretion over the use of any net proceeds from the Rights Offering and utilization of the proceeds may not increase the value of the Company.

 

While we currently intend to use any net proceeds from the Rights Offering primarily to support our working capital needs and fund our operations and to a lesser degree for new product development activities, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the proceeds from the Rights Offering as circumstances warrant. In addition, there is no assurance that utilization of the proceeds will increase the value of the Company and/or your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Assuming that all of our ordinary shares are sold in the Rights Offering, including the full exercise of all Over-Subscription Privileges, we estimate that the net proceeds from the Rights Offering will be approximately $3.15 million, based on the Subscription Price of $0.174 per share after deducting estimated expenses payable by us.

 

We intend to use any net proceeds from the Rights Offering primarily to support our working capital needs and fund our operations and to a lesser degree for new product development activities.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from the Rights Offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds.

DILUTION

 

Purchasers of our ordinary shares in the Rights Offering will experience an immediate dilution of the net tangible book value per ordinary share. Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $2,459,000, or $0.046 per ordinary share (based upon 53,824,377 of our ordinary shares outstanding as of such date). Net tangible book value per share is equal to our total net tangible book value, which is our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of our ordinary shares outstanding. Dilution per share equals the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of ordinary shares in the Rights Offering and the net tangible book value per ordinary share immediately after the Rights Offering.

 

Based on an offering of 18,965,517 ordinary shares at an offering price of $0.174 per share and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us of approximately $ , and the application of the estimated $ million of net proceeds from the Rights Offering, our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2020 would have been approximately $ million, or $ per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value to existing shareholders of $ per ordinary share and an immediate dilution to purchasers in the Rights Offering of $ per ordinary share.

 

The following table illustrates this per share dilution assuming a fully subscribed Rights Offering of 18,965,517 ordinary shares at the subscription price of $0.174 per share:

 

   Actual   As
Adjusted
 
Subscription price                            
Net tangible book value per ordinary share prior to the Rights Offering          
Increase in net tangible book value per ordinary share attributed to the Rights Offering          
Pro forma net tangible book value per share after the rights offering          
Dilution per share to purchasers          

 

The number of outstanding ordinary shares in the table above excludes the following as of December 31, 2020:

 

1,443,333 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options with a weighted average exercise price of $0.54 per share;

 

635,167 shares available for issuance under the On Track Innovations Ltd. 2001 Share Option Plan, as amended;

 

13,992,488 shares that are reserved for issuance upon conversion under the Loan Agreement assuming a conversion price of $0.124; and

 

1,178,699 shares that were repurchased by the Company and are held as dormant shares.

THE RIGHTS OFFERING

 

The Subscription Rights

 

We are distributing to the record holders, at no charge, non-transferable Subscription Rights to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 18,965,517 ordinary shares. Each whole Basic Subscription Right will entitle you to purchase one ordinary share from the date of issuance through its expiration at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on , 2021, unless extended. Each record holder will receive Subscription Rights for each whole ordinary share of the Company owned by such record holder as of the Record Date. Therefore, shareholders holding at least ordinary shares of the Company as of the Record Date will be eligible to participate in the Rights Offering. Each Subscription Right entitles the record holder to a Basic Subscription Right and an Over-Subscription Privilege.

 

Basic Subscription Rights

 

Each whole Basic Subscription Right will entitle you to purchase one ordinary share of the Company. For example, if you owned 1,000 ordinary shares as of the Record Date, you will receive Subscription Rights and will have the right to purchase ordinary shares of the Company for a total purchase price of $0.174. You may exercise all or a portion of your Basic Subscription Rights, or you may choose not to exercise any Basic Subscription Rights at all. If you do not exercise your Basic Subscription Rights in full, you will not be entitled to exercise your Over-Subscription Privilege.

 

Over-Subscription Privilege

 

If you exercise your Basic Subscription Rights in full, you may also choose to exercise your Over-Subscription Privilege. Subject to proration, if applicable, we will seek to honor the Over-Subscription Privilege requests in full. If Over-Subscription Privilege requests exceed the number of shares available, however, we will allocate the available shares pro-rata among the record holders exercising the Over-Subscription Privilege in proportion to the number of ordinary shares each of those record holders owned on the Record Date, relative to the number of shares owned on the Record Date by all record holders exercising the Over-Subscription Privilege. If this pro rata allocation results in any record holder receiving a greater number of shares than the number for which the record holder subscribed pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege, then such record holder will be allocated only that number of shares for which the record holder oversubscribed, and the remaining shares will be allocated among all other record holders exercising the Over-Subscription Privilege on the same pro rata basis described above. The proration process will be repeated until all shares have been allocated.

 

The Company and Broadridge, the Subscription Agent for the Rights Offering, will determine the over-subscription allocation based on the formula described above.

 

To the extent the aggregate subscription payment of the actual number of unsubscribed shares available to you pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege is less than the amount you actually paid in connection with the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege, you will be allocated only the number of unsubscribed shares available to you, and any excess subscription payments will be returned to you, without interest or penalty, as soon as practicable after expiration of the Rights Offering.

 

We can provide no assurances that you will actually be entitled to purchase the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of your Over-Subscription Privilege in full at the expiration of the Rights Offering. We will not be able to satisfy any requests for shares pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege if all of our shareholders exercise their Basic Subscription Rights in full, and we will only honor an Over-Subscription Privilege to the extent sufficient shares are available following the exercise of Basic Subscription Rights.

 

19

 

 

Limitation on the Purchase of Shares

 

You may only purchase the number of whole shares purchasable upon exercise of the number of Basic Subscription Rights distributed to you in the Rights Offering, plus the Over-Subscription Privilege, if any. We will not issue fractional shares. To the extent that the number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Rights that are distributed to you on the Record Date is not a whole number, the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole share for purposes of determining the number of ordinary shares for which you may subscribe.

 

Accordingly, the number of shares that you may purchase in the Rights Offering is limited by the number of ordinary shares of the Company you held on the Record Date and by the extent to which other shareholders exercise their Basic Subscription Rights and Over-Subscription Privileges, which we cannot determine prior to completion of the Rights Offering.

 

Subscription Price

 

The Subscription Price per share is $0.174. The Subscription Price does not necessarily bear any relationship to our past or expected future results of operations, cash flows, current financial condition, or any other established criteria for value. No change will be made to the Subscription Price by reason of changes in the trading price of our ordinary shares or other factors prior to the expiration of this Rights Offering.

 

Determination of Subscription Price

 

We are making the Rights Offering to raise funds primarily to support our working capital needs and fund our operations and to a lesser degree for new product development activities. When determining the Subscription Price, our Board considered, among other things, the need to raise additional funds to finance our business activity, the price of the Company’s shares on the OTCQX, the limited availability of financial resources to us and the terms of the Loan Agreement. Our Board determined that setting the Subscription Price to equal the conversion price set forth in the Loan Agreement, as it would be on the Record Date, i.e., $0.174 per share, would be the most equitable outcome for the Company and its shareholders.

 

The Subscription Price does not necessarily bear any relationship to any established criteria for value. No valuation consultant or investment banker has opined upon the fairness or adequacy of the Subscription Price. You should not consider the Subscription Price as an indication of actual value of the Company or our ordinary shares. You should not assume or expect that, after the Rights Offering, our ordinary shares will trade at or above the Subscription Price in any given time period. The market price of our ordinary shares may decline during or after the Rights Offering. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell ordinary shares purchased during the Rights Offering at a price equal to or greater than the Subscription Price. You should obtain a current price quote for our ordinary shares before exercising your Subscription Rights and make your own assessment of our business and financial condition, our prospects for the future, and the terms of this Rights Offering. Once made, all exercises of Subscription Rights are irrevocable.

 

The Backstop Commitment

 

Ivy, our controlling shareholder, has provided a commitment letter pursuant to which it committed to exercise its Basic Subscription Rights and its Over-Subscription Privileges for an aggregate subscription of up to approximately $2,825,000 of ordinary shares in the Rights Offering. Ivy will not receive any fee in connection with the Backstop Commitment. As of the date of this prospectus, Ivy beneficially owns approximately 28.4% of our outstanding shares, not including shares he may receive upon conversion of the loan he extended to us under the Loan Agreement.

 

Non-Transferability of Subscription Rights

 

The Subscription Rights are non-transferable (other than by operation of law) and, therefore, you may not sell, transfer, assign or give away your Subscription Rights to anyone. The Subscription Rights will not be listed for trading on any stock exchange or market.

 

20

 

 

Expiration Date; Extension

 

The subscription period, during which you may exercise your Subscription Rights, expires at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on               , 2021, which is the expiration of the Rights Offering. We will not be required to issue shares to you if the Subscription Agent receives your Subscription Rights Statement or your subscription payment after that time. We have the option to extend the Rights Offering in our sole discretion, although we do not presently intend to do so. We may extend the Rights Offering by giving oral or written notice to the Subscription Agent before the Rights Offering expires. If we elect to extend the Rights Offering, we will issue a press release announcing the extension no later than 9:00 AM, Eastern Time, on the next business day after the most recently announced expiration date of the Rights Offering.

 

If you hold your ordinary shares in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, the nominee will exercise the Subscription Rights on your behalf in accordance with your instructions. Please note that the nominee may establish a deadline that may be before 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on               , 2021, which is the Expiration Date that we have established for the Rights Offering.

 

Rights Offering May Be Terminated at Any Time

 

We may terminate the Rights Offering at any time and for any reason prior to the completion of the Rights Offering. If we terminate the Rights Offering, we will issue a press release notifying shareholders and the public of the termination.

 

Return of Funds upon Completion or Termination

 

The Subscription Agent will hold funds received in payment for shares in a segregated account pending completion of the Rights Offering. The Subscription Agent will hold this money until the Rights Offering is completed or is terminated. To the extent you properly exercise your Over-Subscription Privilege for a number of shares that exceeds the number of unsubscribed shares available to you, any excess subscription payments will be returned to you as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Rights Offering, without interest or penalty. If the Rights Offering is terminated for any reason, all subscription payments received by the Subscription Agent will be returned as soon as practicable, without interest or penalty.

 

Our Ordinary Shares Outstanding after the Rights Offering

 

On March 25, 2021, 53,824,377 of our ordinary shares were outstanding. Based on the foregoing, and assuming no other transactions by us involving our ordinary shares prior to the expiration of the Rights Offering, if the Rights Offering is fully subscribed, approximately 72,789,894 ordinary shares of the Company will be issued and outstanding. The exact number of shares that we will issue in the Rights Offering will depend on the number of shares that are subscribed for in the Rights Offering.

 

Methods for Exercising Subscription Rights

 

The exercise of Subscription Rights is irrevocable and may not be cancelled or modified. You may exercise your Subscription Rights as follows:

 

Subscription by Record Holders

 

If you are a shareholder of record, the number of shares you may purchase pursuant to your Subscription Rights is indicated on the enclosed Subscription Rights Statement. You may exercise your Subscription Rights by properly completing and executing the Subscription Rights Statement and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (if applicable) and forwarding such documents, together with your full payment, to the Subscription Agent at the address given below under “Subscription Agent,” to be received before 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on , 2021.

 

21

 

 

Subscription by Beneficial Owners

 

If you are a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank, or other nominee, you will not receive a Subscription Rights Statement. Instead, we will issue Subscription Rights to such nominee record holder for each ordinary share held by such nominee at the Record Date. If you are not contacted by your nominee, you should promptly contact your nominee in order to subscribe for shares in the Rights Offering and follow the instructions provided by your nominee.

 

To properly exercise your Over-Subscription Privilege, you must deliver the subscription payment related to your Over-Subscription Privilege before the Rights Offering expires. Because we will not know the total number of unsubscribed shares before the Rights Offering expires, if you wish to maximize the number of shares you purchase pursuant to your Over-Subscription Privilege, you will need to deliver payment in an amount equal to the aggregate subscription payment for the maximum number of shares that you wish to purchase.

 

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

 

If you do not have adequate time to deliver the Subscription Rights Statement evidencing your rights to the Subscription Agent prior to the expiration of the Rights Offering, you may still participate in the Rights Offering if you follow the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below prior to the expiration of the Rights Offering:

Deliver your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to the Subscription Agent; and

The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered to the Subscription Agent in the same manner as the Subscription Rights Statement at the address set forth below.

 

If you have any questions or comments regarding completion or delivery of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, please contact the Information Agent.

 

Payment Method

 

Payments must be made in full in U.S. currency by cashier’s check or by wire transfer, and payable to “Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as Subscription Agent for On Track Innovations Ltd.” You must timely pay the full subscription payment, including payment for the Over-Subscription Privilege, for the full number of shares that you wish to acquire pursuant to the exercise of Subscription Rights by delivering a:

We have the sole discretion to determine whether a subscription exercise properly complies with the subscription procedures.

 

If you send a payment that is insufficient to purchase the number of shares you requested, or if the number of shares you requested is not specified in the forms, the payment received will be applied to exercise your Subscription Rights to the fullest extent possible based on the amount of the payment received. Any excess subscription payments received by the Subscription Agent will be returned, without interest or penalty, as soon as practicable following the expiration of the Rights Offering.

 

Issuance of Ordinary Shares

 

The ordinary shares that are purchased in the Rights Offering will be issued in book-entry, or uncertificated, form meaning that you will receive a direct registration account statement from our transfer agent reflecting ownership of these securities if you are a holder of record of shares.

If a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares so instructs, you should complete the Subscription Rights Statement and submit it to the Subscription Agent with the proper subscription payment by the Expiration Date. You may exercise the number of Subscription Rights to which all beneficial owners in the aggregate otherwise would have been entitled had they been direct holders of our ordinary shares on the Record Date, provided that you, as a nominee record holder, make a proper showing to the Subscription Agent by submitting the form entitled “Nominee Holder Certification,” which is provided with your Rights Offering materials. If you did not receive this form, you should contact our Subscription Agent to request a copy.

 

Validity of Subscriptions

 

We will resolve all questions regarding the validity and form of the exercise of your Subscription Rights, including time of receipt and eligibility to participate in the Rights Offering. Our determination will be final and binding. Once made, subscriptions are irrevocable; we will not accept any alternative, conditional, or contingent subscriptions. We reserve the absolute right to reject any subscriptions not properly submitted or the acceptance of which would be unlawful. You must resolve any irregularities in connection with your subscriptions before the Expiration Date of the Rights Offering unless we waive them in our sole discretion. Neither we nor the Subscription Agent is under any duty to notify you or your representative of defects in your subscriptions. A subscription will be considered accepted, subject to our right to withdraw or terminate the Rights Offering, only when the Subscription Agent receives a properly completed and duly executed Subscription Rights Statement and any other required documents and the full subscription payment. Our interpretations of the terms and conditions of the Rights Offering will be final and binding.

24

 

 

Compliance with Law

 

We are not making this Rights Offering in any country, state or other jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to do so, nor are we distributing or accepting any offers to purchase any of our ordinary shares from Subscription Rights holders who are residents of those countries, states or other jurisdictions or who are otherwise prohibited by applicable laws or regulations from accepting or exercising the Subscription Rights. We may delay the commencement of this Rights Offering in those jurisdictions, or change the terms of this Rights Offering, in whole or in part, in order to comply with the securities laws or other legal requirements of those jurisdictions. We may decline to make modifications to the terms of this Rights Offering requested by those jurisdictions, in which case, if you are a resident of such jurisdictions, or if you are otherwise prohibited by applicable laws or regulations from accepting or exercising the Subscription Rights, you will not be eligible to participate in this Rights Offering.

 

No Revocation or Change

 

Once you submit the Subscription Rights Statement or have instructed your nominee of your subscription request, you are not allowed to revoke or change the exercise or request a refund of monies paid. All exercises of Subscription Rights are irrevocable, even if you learn information about us that you consider to be unfavorable. You should not exercise your Subscription Rights unless you are certain that you wish to purchase our ordinary shares at the Subscription Price.

 

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Rights Distribution

 

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we intend to take the position that holders of our ordinary shares should not recognize income or loss upon receipt or exercise of a Subscription Right. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 26.

 

Israeli Income Tax Treatment of Rights Distribution

 

For Israeli income tax purposes, we intend to take the position that holders of our ordinary shares should not recognize income or loss upon receipt or exercise of a Subscription Right. See “Material Israeli Tax Considerations” beginning on page 28.

 

No Recommendation to Rights Holders

 

Our Board of Directors is not making a recommendation regarding your exercise of the Subscription Rights. Shareholders who exercise Subscription Rights risk investment loss on money invested. We cannot assure you that the market price of our ordinary shares will reach or exceed the Subscription Price, and even if it does so, that it will not decline during or after the Rights Offering. We also cannot assure you that you will be able to sell our ordinary shares purchased in the Rights Offering at a price equal to or greater than the Subscription Price. You should make your investment decision based on your assessment of our business and financial condition, our prospects for the future and the terms of this Rights Offering. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 for a discussion of some of the risks involved in investing in our ordinary shares.

 

Fees and Expenses

 

We will pay all fees charged by the Subscription Agent and Information Agent. You are responsible for paying any other commissions, fees, taxes or other expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of your Subscription Rights.

 

Listing

 

The Subscription Rights may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or given away to anyone, and will not be listed for trading on any stock exchange or market.

 

Important

 

Please follow the directions regarding delivery of Subscription Rights Statements and payments described above. Do not send Subscription Rights Statements directly to us. You are responsible for choosing the payment and delivery method for your Subscription Rights Statement and you bear the risks associated with such delivery. If you choose to deliver your Subscription Rights Statement and payment by mail, we recommend that you use registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. We also recommend that you allow a sufficient number of days to ensure delivery to the Subscription Agent prior to the Expiration Date.

MATERIAL U.S. FEFEDAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

The following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt, ownership, exercise, and expiration of subscription rights distributed to U.S. Holders (as defined below) pursuant to the Rights Offering. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) or different interpretations. For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder will be deemed to refer only to any of the following holders of our ordinary shares:

 

an individual who is either a U.S. citizen or a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

 

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of its income; and

 

a trust, if (a) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

This summary does not consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular U.S. Holders by reason of their particular circumstances, including potential application of the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. federal tax laws or U.S. federal tax laws other than U.S. federal income tax laws. In addition, this summary is directed only to U.S. Holders who hold our ordinary shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code and does not address the considerations that may be applicable to particular classes of U.S. Holders, including financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, pension funds, insurance companies, broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, grantor trusts, partnerships or other pass-through entities and partners or other equity owners in such partnerships or pass-through entities, U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, U.S. Holders who have elected mark-to-market accounting, U.S. Holders who acquired our ordinary shares through the exercise of options or otherwise as compensation, U.S. Holders who hold our ordinary shares as part of a “straddle,” “hedge” or “conversion transaction,” U.S. Holders selling our ordinary shares short, U.S. Holders deemed to have sold our ordinary shares in a “constructive sale,” and U.S. Holders, directly, indirectly or through attribution, of 10% or more (by vote or value) of our outstanding ordinary shares.

 

Each U.S. Holder should consult with his, her or its own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to him, her or it of the receipt, ownership, exercise, sale and expiration of subscription rights, including the effects of applicable tax treaties, state, local, foreign or other tax laws and possible changes in the tax laws.

 

Issuance of Subscription Rights

 

A U.S. Holder’s receipt of subscription rights pursuant to the rights offering likely will not be taxable under U.S. federal income tax laws. The distribution of the subscription rights would be taxable under U.S. federal income tax laws if it were part of a “disproportionate distribution,” that is, if it were to have the effect of the receipt of cash or other property by some holders of our ordinary shares and an increase in the proportionate interest of other holders of our ordinary shares in our assets or earnings and profits. The following discussion assumes that U.S. Holders will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax upon the receipt of subscription rights pursuant to the Rights Offering.

 

26

 

 

Tax Basis and Holding Period of Subscription Rights

 

A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in subscription rights received pursuant to the rights offering generally must be determined by allocating such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in his, her or its ordinary shares between such ordinary shares and the subscription rights based on their respective fair market values on the date of the rights distribution. If the fair market value of the subscription rights is less than 15% of the fair market value (on the date of distribution) of the ordinary shares with respect to which the rights are distributed, however, the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the subscription rights received pursuant to the Rights Offering will be zero, unless such U.S. Holder irrevocably elects (in his, her or its U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year in which the subscription rights are received) to allocate a portion of the tax basis of his, her or its ordinary shares to such subscription rights as described in the preceding sentence. Tax basis may not be allocated to subscription rights which expire without having been exercised at the end of the subscription period. The holding period of subscription rights received pursuant to the rights offering will include the holding period of the ordinary shares with respect to which the subscription rights were distributed.

 

Expiration of Subscription Rights

 

If a U.S. Holder does not exercise his, her or its subscription rights prior to the end of the subscription period and such U.S. Holder continues to hold the ordinary shares with respect to which the subscription rights were distributed, such U.S. Holder will recognize no gain or loss and his, her or its tax basis in the ordinary shares with respect to which the subscription rights were distributed will be equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such ordinary shares before receipt of the subscription rights. If a U.S. Holder’s subscription rights expire without exercise after the U.S. Holder has disposed of the ordinary shares with respect to which the subscription rights were distributed, such U.S. Holder likely would recognize a capital loss to the extent of the tax basis allocated to the expired subscription rights. Such capital loss would be short-term or long-term capital loss, depending on the U.S. Holder’s holding period with respect to the subscription rights, determined as described in “Tax Basis and Holding Period of Subscription Rights” above. Deductions for capital losses are subject to limitations under the Code.

 

Exercise of Subscription Rights; Tax Basis and Holding Period of Ordinary Shares

 

A U.S. Holder will not recognize any gain or loss upon the exercise of subscription rights. A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in each share received upon the exercise of a subscription right will be equal to the sum of the subscription price paid plus the U.S. Holder’s tax basis, if any, in such subscription right, determined as described in “Tax Basis and Holding Period of Subscription Rights” above.

 

A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares acquired upon the exercise of a subscription right will begin on the date of exercise.

 

If a U.S. Holder exercises a subscription right received in the rights offering after disposing of ordinary shares at a loss, or if a U.S. Holder disposes of ordinary shares at a loss soon after exercising a subscription right, the deductibility of such loss resulting from the sale of the ordinary shares may be limited under the “wash sale” rules in Section 1091 of the Code. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules.

 

Acquisition, Ownership and Disposition of Ordinary Shares

 

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares and the potential application of U.S. information reporting requirements and backup withholding taxes.

 

27

 

 

MATERIAL ISRAELI TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following summary does not discuss all the aspects of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his, her or its personal investment circumstances or to some types of investors subject to special treatment under Israeli law. To the extent that the discussion is based on new tax legislation that has not been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, we cannot assure you that the tax authorities will accept the views expressed in the discussion in question. The discussion is not intended, and should not be taken, as legal or professional tax advice and is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations. Each holder of ordinary shares is urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequences of the rights offering to him, her or it.

 

The Distribution of the Subscription Rights

Capital Gains Tax

 

Israeli law generally imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of any capital assets by residents of Israel, as defined for Israeli tax purposes, and on the sale of capital assets (or rights to capital assets) located in Israel, including shares of Israeli companies by non-residents of Israel, unless a specific exemption is available or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence provides otherwise. The law distinguishes between real capital gain and inflationary surplus. The inflationary surplus is a portion of the total capital gain that is equivalent to the increase of the relevant asset’s purchase price which is attributable to the increase in the Israeli consumer price index, or a foreign currency exchange rate, between the date of purchase and the date of sale. The real capital gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the inflationary surplus.

 

Provisions of Israeli tax law may treat a sale of securities listed on a stock exchange differently than the sale of other securities.

 

Israeli Residents

 

Generally, the tax rate applicable to real capital gains derived from the sale of shares, whether listed on a stock market or not, is currently 25% for Israeli individuals, unless, among others, such shareholder claims a deduction for real interest expenses and linkage differences in connection with such shares, in which case the real capital gain will generally be taxed at a rate of 30%. Additionally, if such shareholder is considered a “Substantial Shareholder” at the time of sale or at any time during the 12-month period preceding such sale, i.e. such shareholder holds directly or indirectly, alone or together with others, at least 10% of one or more of any means of control in the company, the tax rate shall be 30%. However, the foregoing tax rates will not apply to: dealers in securities.

 

In addition, an additional tax at a rate of 3% will be imposed on high earners individuals whose annual income or gains exceed NIS 647,640 for the 2021 tax year.

 

Israeli companies are subject to the corporate tax rate on real capital gains derived from the sale of listed shares, currently at the rate of 23%.

 

28

 

 

Upon the sale of a stock by a “significant shareholder” (corporation or individual), at the time of the sale or at any time during the preceding 12 months period, a reduced tax rate may apply with respect to undistributed profits accumulated by the company from the end of the tax year before the year in which the share was acquired, until the end of the tax year before the year in which it was sold.

 

When shares are sold by a company, the amount of capital loss due to the sale of the shares shall be reduced by the amount of dividends (other than a dividend on which tax (other than tax paid abroad) was paid at a rate of 15% or more), which the company received in respect of the shares during the 24 months period before the sale, but not by more than the amount of the loss.

 

Section 94(d) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, or the Tax Ordinance, defines “bonus shares” as “including the benefit component in rights issued or in shares originating in such rights.” Section 94(a) of the Tax Ordinance provides that bonus shares will be deemed to have been purchased on the date that the shares in respect of which the bonus shares were issued, defined as the Principal Shares, were purchased. In addition, the section provides that the original cost (i.e., tax basis) of one bonus share or one Principal Share will be a sum whose proportion to the total original cost of all bonus shares and Principal Shares will be the same as the proportion of the par value of one such share to the total par value of all the aforementioned shares. In accordance with Section 94(e) of the Tax Ordinance, the Minister of Finance of Israel may, subject to the approval of the Finance Committee of the Israeli Knesset, promulgate rules for calculating the amount of the benefit component. Such rules have not been published.

 

Non-Israeli Residents

 

Non-Israeli residents are generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale of shares of Israeli companies publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange outside of Israel, provided however that the shares were not traded in an Israeli stock exchange at the sale date, and that the gains were not derived through a permanent establishment maintained by such shareholders in Israel. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to such exemption if Israeli residents (i) have a controlling interest in such non-Israeli corporation (shareholders hold, directly or indirectly, alone, together with others, or with other Israeli resident, at least 25% of one or more means of control in the company), or (ii) are the beneficiaries or are entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly.

 

In certain instances where our shareholders may be liable for Israeli tax on the sale of their ordinary shares, the payment of the consideration may be subject to the withholding of Israeli tax at source. Shareholders may be required to demonstrate that they are exempt from tax on their capital gains in order to avoid withholding at source at the time of sale.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Convention between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Israel with respect to Taxes on Income, as amended, or the U.S. – Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of ordinary shares by a person who qualifies as a resident of the United States within the meaning of the U.S.- Israel Tax Treaty and who is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such person by the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty generally will not be subject to Israeli capital gains tax and subject to receiving approval from the Israeli Tax Authority unless such Treaty U.S. Resident holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of our voting power during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to particular conditions, or the unless capital gains from such sale, exchange or disposition can be allocated to a permanent establishment in Israel. In such case, the Treaty U.S. Resident could be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, such Treaty U.S. Resident would be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits. The U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty does not relate to U.S. state or local taxes.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

We are registered under the Israeli Companies Law, 5758-1999, or the Companies Law, as a public company with registration number 52-004286-2.

 

Under the Amended and Restated Articles of Association, or the Articles, of the Company, the Company is authorized to issue up to one hundred million (100,000,000) ordinary shares NIS 0.10 par value. As of March 25, 2021, the Company had 53,824,377 outstanding ordinary shares, 1,178,699 ordinary shares that were repurchased by the Company and are held as dormant shares, and 1,568,000 options to purchase additional ordinary shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.57 per share. In addition, Ivy and another lender, have the right to convert the loan amount of $1,600,000 plus interest, into our ordinary shares at a conversion price of approximately $0.174 if converted on or before June 17, 2021 and $0.124 thereafter. The ordinary shares are quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol “OTIVF.”

 

All of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares are duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

The following is a summary of some of the terms of the Company’s ordinary shares, which is the Company’s only class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. This summary is not complete and is subject to and qualified by the provisions of the Articles. The terms of the ordinary shares are also subject to and qualified by the applicable provisions of the Companies Law. The ownership or voting of ordinary shares by non-residents of Israel is not restricted in any way by the Articles or the laws of the State of Israel, except that nationals of countries which are in a state of war with Israel might not be recognized as owners of ordinary shares.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the securities of the Company are qualified by reference to Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. 

 

Registered Share Capital

 

Increasing the authorized share capital of the Company, including ordinary shares, must be approved by the Company’s shareholders. Because the approval of an increase in the Company’s authorized share constitutes an amendment to the Memorandum of Association of the Company, the affirmative vote of 75% of the Company's ordinary shares voting on the matter is required to approve such resolution.

 

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

 

The Company is permitted to declare a dividend to be paid to the holders of ordinary shares, but the Company has never declared a dividend and it does not anticipate any dividend declaration in the foreseeable future. Dividends may only be paid out of the Company’s profits (“the profit test”), provided that there is no reasonable concern that payment of a dividend will prevent the Company from satisfying its existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due (“the solvency test”). Profits, as defined in section 302(b) to the Companies Law, mean surplus balance or surplus accumulated during the last two years, whichever is higher. Alternatively, an Israeli court is entitled, at the Company’s request, to approve a dividend distribution, which does not meet the profit test, provided it is convinced that the solvency test is met. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, the Company’s assets will be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion to the nominal value of their holdings. This right may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future by the Company’s shareholders. Under the Companies Law, the declaration of a dividend does not require the approval of the shareholders of a company unless the company’s articles of association require otherwise. The Articles provide that the Company’s board of directors may declare and pay dividends without the approval of its shareholders.

Preemptive Rights

 

Under the Companies Law, shareholders in public companies do not have preemptive rights unless those rights are provided pursuant to a contract. This means that the Company’s shareholders do not have the legal right to purchase shares in a new issuance before they are offered to third parties. As a result, the Company’s shareholders could experience dilution of their ownership interest if the Company decides to raise additional funds by issuing more shares and these shares are purchased by third parties. Pursuant to a certain share purchase agreement dated December 23, 2019 we entered into with Ivy and other investors, Ivy has a right to purchase any future equity securities offered by us, except with respect to certain exempt issuances as set forth in the share purchase agreement.

 

Voting, Shareholders’ Meetings and Resolutions

 

Holders of ordinary shares have, for each ordinary share held, one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders. These voting rights may be affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future by the Company’s shareholders. The quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present, in person or by proxy, who hold or represent together at least one third of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares or, as long as the Company’s ordinary shares are quoted on the OTCQX, such higher percentage as the OTCQX may impose on quoted companies from time to time so long as such higher percentage is in effect. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum is generally adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place. If a quorum is not present within half an hour following the time appointed for the reconvened meeting, any two shareholders then present, in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum.

 

Under the Companies Law, unless otherwise provided in the Articles or by applicable law, shareholders’ resolutions require the approval of holders of a simple majority of our ordinary shares voting, in person or by proxy on the matter.  A shareholders’ resolution to amend the Articles requires the approval of a simple majority of the Company’s shareholders present in person or by proxy.

 

Under the Companies Law, a shareholder has certain duties of good faith and fairness towards the Company.

 

Election of Directors

 

The ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. Rather, under the Articles the Company’s directors (other than external directors) are elected at a shareholders meeting by a simple majority of ordinary shares for a term of service ending upon the next general meeting following three years from their election.  External directors are elected by a simple majority of ordinary shares, which majority includes at least a majority of the shares held by non-controlling shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the matter (excluding a personal interest unrelated to the relationship with a controlling shareholder) voted at the meeting, or the total number of shares held by such non-controlling shareholders who do not have a personal interest voted against the election of the external director does not exceed two percent of the aggregate voting rights in the Company. As a result, the holders of ordinary shares that represent more than 50% of the voting power represented at a shareholder meeting have the power to elect any or all of the Company’s directors whose positions are being filled at that meeting, subject to the additional approval requirements for external directors.

 

Modification of Class Rights

 

The rights attached to any class, such as voting, liquidation and dividend rights, may be amended, following a decision by the Company’s board of directors, by adoption of a resolution by a simple majority of the shares of that class represented at a separate class meeting.

 

Transfer of Shares and Notices

 

Fully paid ordinary shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred under the Articles unless the transfer is restricted or prohibited by Israeli law, U.S. securities laws or the rules of a stock exchange on which the shares are traded.  Under the Companies Law and applicable regulations, unless otherwise provided in the Articles or by applicable law, shareholders of record are entitled to receive at least 35 or 21 days' prior notice of meetings of shareholders, based on the matters that are on the agenda.

Anti-Takeover Provisions under Israeli Law

 

Tender Offer.  A person wishing to acquire shares of a publicly traded Israeli company and who would, as a result, hold over 90% of the company’s issued and outstanding share capital or voting rights 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. A person wishing to acquire shares of a public Israeli company and who could, as a result, hold over 90% of the issued and outstanding share capital or voting rights of a certain class of shares is required by the Companies Law to make a tender offer to all of the shareholders who hold shares of the relevant class for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of that class. If the shareholders who refuse to sell their shares hold less than 5% of the issued share capital and voting rights of the company or of the applicable class, all of the shares held by such shareholders that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer by operation of law (provided that a majority of the offerees that do not have a personal interest in such tender offer shall have approved it, which condition shall not apply if, following consummation of the tender offer, the acquirer would hold at least 98% of all of the company's outstanding shares and voting rights (or shares and voting rights of the relevant class)). However, the shareholders may, at any time within six months following the completion of the tender offer, petition the court to alter the consideration for the acquisition. Even shareholders who indicated their acceptance of the tender offer may so petition the court, unless the acquirer stipulated that a shareholder that accepts the offer may not seek appraisal rights. If the dissenting shareholders hold more than 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital or voting rights of the company or the applicable class, the acquirer may not acquire additional shares or voting rights of the applicable class from shareholders who accepted the tender offer, if following such acquisition, the acquirer would then own over 90% of the issued and outstanding share capital or voting rights of the company or the applicable class.

 

The Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares of a 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 greater of the voting rights in the company. This rule does not apply if there is already another holder of 25% or greater of the voting rights in the company. As of the date hereof, Ivy holds more than 25% of the voting rights in the Company. Similarly, the Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a 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 holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. The special tender offer must be extended to all shareholders, but the offeror is not required to purchase shares representing more than 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders. The 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.

 

Merger. The Companies Law permits merger transactions if approved by each party’s board of directors and the majority of each party’s shares voted on the proposed merger at a shareholders’ meeting called on at least 21 days' prior notice. The Articles provide that merger transactions may be approved by a simple majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders. Under the Companies Law, in determining whether the required majority has approved the merger, shares held by the other party to the merger, any person holding at least 25% of the outstanding voting shares or holding at least 25% of the means of appointing directors of the other party to the merger, or anyone acting on their behalf, including their relatives or companies controlled by them, are excluded from the vote. If a majority of shareholders of one of the parties do not approve the transaction because the votes of certain shareholders are excluded from the vote, 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 value of the parties to the merger and the consideration offered to the shareholders. 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 any of the parties to the merger. In addition, a merger may not be executed unless at least 30 days have passed from the approval of the companies’ shareholders and at least 50 days have passed from the time that the proposals for approval of the merger have been filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Indemnification

 

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

 

  a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person by any judgment concerning an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court;
     
  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder (a) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (1) no indictment (as defined in the Companies Law) was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (2) no financial liability as a substitute for the criminal proceeding (as defined in the Companies Law) was imposed upon him or her as a result of such investigation or proceeding, or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; or (b) in connection with a monetary sanction;
     
  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder or imposed on him or her by a court: (1) in proceedings that the company institutes, or that another person institutes on the company’s behalf, against him or her; (2) in a criminal proceeding of which he or she was acquitted; or (3) as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent; and
     
  expenses incurred by an office holder in connection with an Administrative Procedure under the Securities Law, including reasonable litigation expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees. An “Administrative Procedure” is defined as a procedure pursuant to chapters H3 (Monetary Sanction by the Israeli Securities Authority), H4 (Administrative Enforcement Procedures of the Administrative Enforcement Committee) or I1 (Arrangement to prevent Procedures or Interruption of procedures subject to conditions) to the Securities Law.

 

II-1

 

 

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

 

  to events that in the opinion of the board of directors can be foreseen based on the company’s activities at the time that the undertaking to indemnify is made; and
     
  in amount or criterion determined by the board of directors, at the time of the giving of such undertaking to indemnify, to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and executive officers.

 

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 amended and restated articles of association provide that subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the Securities Law, we release, in advance, our office holders from liability to the Company for damage that arises from the breach of the office holder’s duty of care to the Company. Subject to the aforesaid limitations, under the indemnification agreements, we exempt our office holders, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from any liability, or any part of liability, for damages caused as a result of a breach of their duty of care to the Company.

  

Limitations

 

The Companies Law provides that the Company 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 unless (in the case of indemnity or insurance only, but not exculpation) 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 certain office holders or under certain circumstances, also by the shareholders. 

 

Our amended and restated articles of association permit us, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the Securities Law, to exculpate (subject to the aforesaid limitation), indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted or to be permitted by law. We have obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance for the benefit of our office holders and intend to continue to maintain such coverage and pay all premiums thereunder to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law and the Securities Law. In addition, we have entered into agreements with each of our office holders undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by Israeli law, including with respect to liabilities resulting from the offering of securities under this registration statement to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by insurance.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

During the last three completed fiscal years and to date in the current fiscal year, we sold the following unregistered securities:

 

On December 9, 2020, we entered into a secured loan financing agreement with the Jerry Ivy, Jr. Descendants’ Trust, or Ivy, our controlling shareholder (as such term is defined under the Companies Law). Such loan agreement provides that Ivy will extend a loan to the Company in the amount of up to $1,500,000, which was later amended by adding another lender and increasing the aggregate amount to be lent to $1,600,000, or the Loan Amount. Such loan agreement, as amended, is referred to as the Loan Agreement. At any time prior to the repayment in full of the Loan Amount together with Interest accrued and all other amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, or the Secured Amount, Ivy will be entitled, at its sole discretion, to demand to convert, or Conversion Right, the entire Secured Amount into ordinary shares, at a price per share equal to the lower of (a) $0.20 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of any bonus shares, combinations or splits) and (b) a price per share reflecting a discount to the average closing bid price of an ordinary share over the 20 trading days preceding the Initial Closing, or the Benchmark Price, as follows: (i) if conversion occurs no later than three months after the Initial Closing, the discount will be 20% of the Benchmark Price; (ii) if conversion occurs more than three months but no later June 17, 2021, the discount will be 30% of the Benchmark Price (i.e., approximately $0.174); (iii) if conversion occurs after June 17, 2021 (to the extent extended in accordance with the terms of the Agreement), the discount will be 50% of the Benchmark Price (i.e., $0.124); and (iv) if conversion occurs upon an event of default, the discount will be 50% of the Benchmark Price.

 

On December 23, 2019, we entered into a share purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with Ivy, and certain other investors, or collectively, the Selling Shareholders, relating to a private placement, or the Private Placement, of an aggregate of up to 12,500,000 ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $0.20 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to us of up to $2,500,000. The initial closing of the Private Placement took place shortly thereafter, or the Initial Closing. At the Initial Closing, we issued and sold to the Selling Shareholders an aggregate of 6,500,000 ordinary shares for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $1,300,000.

 

On April 16, 2020, following the approval by our shareholders of certain proposals that were required for the consummation of the subsequent closing under the Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold to the Selling Shareholders an aggregate of 6,000,000 ordinary shares for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $1,200,000.

 

In June 2019, we issued to MZHCI LLC 30,000 ordinary shares for fully performed services provided to us.

 

No underwriters were involved in the foregoing sales of securities. The issuances of the securities described above were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

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

 

  i. To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
  ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
     
  iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to §230.424(b) of this chapter that is part of the registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
     
  (4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

II-5

 

 

  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
       
    i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
       
    ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
       
    iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
       
    iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

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

 

(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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.
