In addition, the Company will pay a cash fee in the amount of $25,000 to each person then serving as a director on the consummation of a reverse merger transaction or similar transaction, if any.
The Board also authorized on March 7, 2025, the grant of a total of 160,000 options to purchase ordinary shares at a per share rate of $4.45, once vested exercisable for the period ending 10 years after the date of grant.

The grants were made to certain directors, officers and employees. The options were issued as discretionary options under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, and not part of any regularly constituted compensation plan.
