SHARE CAPITAL

NOTE 6 - SHARE CAPITAL:

 

a. Ordinary shares

 

1) Rights of the Company’s ordinary shares

 

Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote. The holder of the ordinary shares is also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available, when and if declared by the Board of Directors. Since its inception, the Company has not declared any dividends.

 

2) Changes in share capital

 

On February 23, 2023, Mr. Sagy exercised 186,000 warrants into 186,000 ordinary shares in return of $744.

 

b. Share- based compensation

 

1) Option plan

 

Under the Company’s Share Ownership and Option Plan (2010), or the 2010 Plan, employees, directors and consultants of the Company may be granted options, each exercisable into one ordinary share of the Company of NIS 1.50 par value. 

 

On April 3, 2024, the board of directors approved the adoption of a share award plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan allows the Company to grant its employees, directors and consultants with several equity-based awards, including options, shares, restricted shares, restricted share units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares and other stock or cash awards. The 2024 Plan shall be in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date of adoption, i.e., until April 2034, unless earlier terminated by its administrator. 

 

2) Options grants

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted options as follows:

 

    Six months ended June 30, 2024
    Number of options granted     Exercise

    Vesting
period
  Expiration
Employees     41,500     $ 5.26-5.76     4 years   10 years

The fair value of options granted on the date of grant was computed using the Black-Scholes model. The underlying data used for computing the fair value of the options are as follows:

 

    Six months ended
June 30
 
    2024     2023  
Value of ordinary share   $ 5.13-5.46     $ 7.5  
Dividend yield     0 %     0 %
Expected volatility     70.91-70.97 %     74.1 %
Risk-free interest rate     4.35-4.46 %     0.36 %
Expected term     6.11 years       6.11 years  

 

The fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 was $169 and $505, respectively.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was less than 1.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $137.

 

The fair value of options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 was $1,176 and $1,706, respectively.

Modification of share-based compensation

 

On April 3, 2024, the board of directors (following the approval of the compensation committee with respect to the Company's directors and officers) approved to extend the expiry date of 337,464 options exercisable into 337,464 ordinary shares that were previously granted to some of the Company’s employees and directors, from an expiry date ranging between December 2024 and July 2025, by an additional three years, such that the expiry dates will range between December 2027 and July 2028. Out of the said options, 126,800 options exercisable into 126,800 ordinary shares are held by some of the Company's directors and its CEO (who also serves as a director on the board of directors), and as such, the extension of the expiry dates of these options is subject to the receipt of shareholders’ approval by the required majorities under applicable law. As of the date of approval of these financial statements, the Company has not yet convened a meeting of shareholders and accordingly, approval of the shareholders has not yet been received.

 

For options for which approval has been received, the total incremental fair value of these options granted to the Company’s employees amounted to $197 and was determined based on the Black-Scholes pricing options model using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 4.68%, expected volatility of 67.38% - 71.62%, expected term of 1.87-2.16 years and dividend yield of 0%. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded the total expenses from these extended options in amount of $197.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted restricted share units, or RSU, as follows:

 

    Six months ended
June 30, 2024
 
    Number of RSU granted     Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value  
Employees     261,000     $ 5.13  

 

The following table summarizes the activity in RSU granted to employees under the 2024 Plan for the six months period ended June 30, 2024:
