a.
Share incentive plans:
 
In 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an Employee Shares Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Under the 2016 Plan, options may be granted to employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
The 2016 plan was terminated in 2021, although option awards outstanding as of that date will continue in full force in accordance with the terms under which they were granted.
 
In 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a new Share Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). According to the 2021 Plan, share awards, options to purchase shares or Restricted Share Units (RSUs) may be granted to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers of the Company or any affiliate of the Company.
 
Under the 2021 Plan, as of December 31, 2024, a total of 1,282,260 shares were still available for future grant. Each option granted under the 2021 Plan expires no later than seven years from the date of grant. The options vest primarily over four years of employment unless the Board of Directors and the Board of Director’s Compensation Committee determines otherwise. Any option which is forfeited or cancelled before expiration becomes available for future grants.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, was $0.47, $2.26 and $2.35, respectively.
 
Exercise price - From the date the Company became public, the fair value of each Ordinary Share was based on the closing price of the Company’s publicly traded Ordinary Shares as reported on the date of the grant.
 
Expected volatility - as the Company became public in April 2021, there is not sufficient historical volatility for the expected term of the share options. Therefore, the Company uses an average historical share price volatility based on an analysis of reported data for a peer group of comparable publicly traded companies which were selected based upon industry similarities.
 
Expected term (years) - represents the period that the Company’s options granted are expected to be outstanding. There is not sufficient historical share exercise data to calculate the expected term of the share options. Therefore, the Company elected to utilize the simplified method to value option grants. Under this approach, the weighted-average expected life is presumed to be the average of the shortest vesting term and the contractual term of the option.
 
Risk-free interest rate - the Company determined the risk-free interest rate by using a weighted-average equivalent to the expected term based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect as of the date of grant.
 
Expected dividend yield - since inception, the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Thus, the Company used 0% as its expected dividend yield.

d.
Earn-out shares:
 
In the event that the earnout Target is reached during the Earnout Period (both “Target” and “Earnout Period” as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), then: (A) Perception Capital Partners (“Perception”) shall be entitled to receive up to 2,089,882 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, (B) Antara Capital Master Fund LP (“Antara”) shall be entitled to receive up to 312,296 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and (C) certain members of the Company’s management shall be entitled to receive up to 1,250,000 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares. As of December 31, 2024, the Target was not reached and therefore no additional Company Ordinary Shares have been issued.
