Reverse Share Split

On October 7, 2024, Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company”) announced that it will effect a reverse share split (the “Reverse Share Split”) of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) and the Company’s tradable warrants, each exercisable for one Ordinary Share (the “Warrants”), at the ratio of 1-for-20. As a result of the Reverse Share Split, every twenty (20) Ordinary Shares shall be consolidated into one (1) Ordinary Share and every twenty (20) Warrants shall be consolidated into one (1) Warrant. In addition, the exercise price underlying each Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted. The Ordinary Shares and Warrants will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the existing symbols “WLDS” and “WLDSW”, respectively, and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on October 10, 2024. The new CUSIP numbers for the Ordinary Shares and Warrants following the Reverse Share Split will be M97838 128 and M97838 151, respectively.

The Reverse Share Split was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on September 26, 2024, to be effected at the board of directors’ discretion within approved parameters, and the board of directors has approved the 1-for-20 ratio. The Reverse Share Split will not result in an adjustment to the authorized share capital of the Company under the Company’s amended and restated articles of association, as currently in effect (the “Articles”), which, as of the date hereof consists of 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares.

The Reverse Share Split will adjust the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company from approximately 24,438,030 Ordinary Shares to approximately 1,221,901 Ordinary Shares and the number of Warrants from 7,860,861 Warrants to 393,043 Warrants (subject to any further adjustments based on the treatment of fractional shares). In accordance with the Company’s Articles, no fractional Ordinary Shares or Warrants will be issued as a result of the Reverse Share Split and all fractional Ordinary Shares or Warrants shall be rounded to the nearest whole Ordinary Share or Warrant, as applicable, such that only shareholders holding fractional consolidated Ordinary Shares or Warrants of more than half of the number of Ordinary Shares or Warrants which consolidation constitutes one whole Ordinary Share or Warrant, shall be entitled to receive one consolidated Ordinary Share or Warrant, as applicable. Proportional adjustments also will be made to Ordinary Shares underlying outstanding options and warrants, including the Warrants, (with a reciprocal increase in the per share exercise price), restricted shares (RSs), restricted share units (RSUs), and to the number of Ordinary Shares issued and issuable under the Company’s share incentive plans and certain existing agreements.

On October 7, 2024, the Company issued a press release titled “Wearable Devices Ltd. Announces 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split,” a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K (this “Report”).
