Explanatory Note

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 5, or this Post-Effective Amendment, to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-262838), or the Registration Statement, is being filed pursuant to our undertaking in the Registration Statement to update and supplement information contained in the Registration Statement, as originally declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on September 12, 2022. The Registration Statement originally covered an offering, or the Offering, of (A) 3,750,000 units, or Units, each consisting of one ordinary share of the Company, NIS 0.01 par value per share, or Ordinary Shares, and two warrants to purchase one Ordinary Share each, or each, a Warrant (each with an initial exercise price of $4.00 per Ordinary Share and an exercise price of $2.00 following the Exercise Price Adjustment, as defined below), in a firm commitment underwritten offering, at a public offering price of $4.25 per Unit, (B) up to 562,500 additional Ordinary Shares and/or Warrants to purchase up to 1,125,000 Ordinary Shares, issuable to Aegis Capital Corp., the underwriter in the Offering, or the Underwriter, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, pursuant to its over-allotment option, which expired on October 27, 2022, and (C) warrants issued to the Underwriter to purchase up to 187,500 Ordinary Shares, at an exercise price of $5.31 per Ordinary Share, or the Underwriter’s Warrants. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to (i) update certain financial information contained in the Registration Statement, and (ii) cover the sale of Ordinary Shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of such Warrants and Underwriter’s Warrants that remain unexercised as of the date hereof, and include an updated prospectus related to the offering of Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants and Underwriter’s Warrants that were registered on the Registration Statement.

We refer to the Ordinary Shares, the Warrants, and the Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, collectively, as the securities.

On September 20, 2022, the Company’s volume weighted average stock price was less than the exercise floor of $2.00 for the Warrants. Accordingly, effective after the closing of trading on December 14, 2022 (the 90th calendar day immediately following the issuance date of the Warrants), the Warrants were adjusted pursuant to their terms, including, but not limited to, to adjust the exercise price of the Warrants to $2.00, or the Exercise Price Adjustment.

The information included in this filing updates the Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein, or the Prospectus. No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of the Registration Statement.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth below and the risks set forth under the caption “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus before making an investment in our securities. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if any of these risks occurs and, as a result, the market price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.

Risks Related to Operations in Israel

We conduct our operations in Israel. Conditions in Israel, including conditions affected by the recent attack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations and Israel’s war against them, may affect our operations.

Our offices are located in Yokne’am Illit, Israel, thus, political, economic, and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and the Israeli military began to call-up reservists for active duty. At the same time, and because of the declaration of war against Hamas, the clash between Israel and Hezbollah along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon and southern border with the Houthi movement in Yemen have escalated and there is a possibility that either or both will turn into a greater regional conflict in the future. In addition, Iran recently launched a direct attack on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles, and has threatened to continue to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria.

As of today, these events have had no material impact on the Company’s operations. According to the recent guidelines of the Israeli government, the Company’s offices are open and functioning as usual. However, if the war escalates and expands to the Northern border with Lebanon, Iran or Yemen, the Israeli government potentially will impose additional restrictions on movement and travel, and our management and employees’ ability to effectively perform their daily tasks might be temporarily disrupted, which may result in delays in some of our projects.

The Company currently has the supply of materials needed for its regular operations. While there may be some possible delays in supply, those are currently not anticipated to be material to the Company’s operations. However, if the war continues for a significant amount of time, this situation may change.

Any hostilities involving Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region, or the interruption or curtailment of trade or transport among Israel and its trading partners could make it more difficult for us to raise capital, if needed in the future, and adversely affect our operations and results of operations and the market price of our Ordinary Shares. Moreover, we cannot predict how this war will ultimately affect Israel’s economy in general, which may involve a downgrade in Israel’s credit rating by rating agencies (such as the recent downgrade by Moody’s of its credit rating of Israel from A1 to A2, as well as the downgrade of its outlook rating from “stable” to “negative” and the S&P Global lowered its long-term credit rating from AA- to A+, as well as a downgrade of its short-term credit ratings from A-1+ to A-1, with an outlook on the long-term ratings “negative”, and recently Fitch Ratings Inc. lowered Israel’s credit rating from A+ to A, with an outlook rating of “negative”).

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli government is currently committed to covering the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or, if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Further, many Israeli citizens are obligated to perform several days, and in some cases, more, of annual military reserve duty each year until they reach the age of 40 (or older for certain reservists) and, in the event of a military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to the series of attacks on civilian and military targets in October 2023, there have been significant call-ups of military reservists. As of September 20, 2024, none of the Company’s employees is in military reserve service. However, if the number of reservists in our Company increases and becomes significant, our operations could be disrupted by such call-ups.

Any armed conflicts, terrorist activities or political instability in the region could adversely affect business conditions, could harm our results of operations and the market price of our Ordinary Shares, and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Parties with whom we do business may sometimes decline to travel to Israel during periods of heightened unrest or tension, forcing us to make alternative arrangements when necessary, in order to meet our business partners face to face.

The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict at this stage, as are such war’s economic implications on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general. However, if the war extends for a long period of time or expands to other fronts, such as Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank, our operations may be harmed.

It is currently not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on our business, operations and financial condition. The ongoing conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt our business and operations, and adversely affect our ability to raise additional funds or sell our securities, among other impacts.

These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in this prospectus in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

LISTING DETAILS

Our Ordinary Shares and Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “WLDS” and “WLDSW,” respectively. All of our Ordinary Shares have the same rights and privileges. See “Description of Share Capital.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will receive up to approximately $15.7 million in net proceeds if all Warrants are exercised (assuming an exercise price of $2.00 per Ordinary Share following the Exercise Price Adjustment) and up to $996 thousand if all Underwriter’s Warrants are exercised. 

We currently expect to use the net proceeds from the IPO and this offering for the following purposes:

Changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our global marketing and sales efforts, the development of our products and the overall economic environment. Therefore, our management will retain broad discretion over the use of the proceeds from the IPO and this offering. We may ultimately use the proceeds for different purposes than what we currently intend. Pending any ultimate use of any portion of the proceeds from the IPO and this offering, if the anticipated proceeds will not be sufficient to fund all the proposed purposes, our management will determine the order of priority for using the proceeds, as well as the amount and sources of other funds needed.

Pending our use of the net proceeds from the IPO and this offering, we may invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and our capitalization as of June 30, 2024:

You should read this table in conjunction with our Unaudited Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024” attached as exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to our Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, or a Form 6-K, filed on September 23, 2024 and incorporated by reference herein.

The number of Ordinary Shares held by existing shareholders is based on 20,887,428 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024, and excludes as of such date:

DILUTION

If you invest in our securities, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the price per Ordinary Share you will pay upon exercise of the Warrants and the as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after exercise of all the Warrants.

On June 30, 2024 we had a net tangible book value of $1.7 million corresponding to a net tangible book value of $0.08 per Ordinary Share. Net tangible book value per Ordinary Share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by 20,887,428, the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on June 30, 2024.

After giving effect to the issuance of 3,215,602 Ordinary Share under the SEPA, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.4 million, our pro forma net tangible book value estimated at June 30, 2024 would have been approximately $3.1 million, representing $0.13 per Ordinary Share.

After giving effect to the issuance of up to 7,860,861 Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants, for aggregate net proceeds of $15.7 million (assuming an exercise price of $2.00 per Ordinary Share following the Exercise Price Adjustment), and the exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value estimated at June 30, 2024 would have been approximately $19.8 million, representing $0.62 per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in historical net tangible book value of $0.49 per Ordinary Share to existing shareholders and an immediate average dilution in net tangible book value of $1.46 per Ordinary Share to purchasers of Ordinary Shares in this offering. Dilution for this purpose represents the difference between the average price per Ordinary Share paid by these purchasers and net tangible book value per Ordinary Share immediately after the completion of this offering. 

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per Ordinary Share basis to investors in this offering:

Articles of Association

Directors

Our board of directors shall direct our policy and shall supervise the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and his actions. Our board of directors may exercise all powers that are not required under the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999, or the Companies Law, or under our articles of association to be exercised or taken by our shareholders.

Rights Attached to Shares

Our Ordinary Shares shall confer upon the holders thereof:

Election of Directors

Pursuant to our articles of association, our directors are elected and/or re-elected by the general meeting and, unless appointed for a shorter term, serve in office until the third annual general meeting after the general meeting in which such director was appointed, in which such later annual general meeting the directors will be brought for re-election or replacement.

In each annual general meeting, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors will be for a term of office that expires on the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election, such that each year the term of office of only one class of directors will expire, and all other directors whose service term lapsed shall be deemed to have been re-elected for a term until the next annual general meeting. The director to be deemed and to be re-elected is the director that served the longest period since its appointment or last re-election. If more than one director served the longest time, the board of directors will decide which of such directors will be brought for re-election at the relevant general meeting.

Annual and Special Meetings

Under the Israeli law, we are required to hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders once every calendar year, at such time and place which shall be determined by our board of directors, that must be no later than 15 months after the date of the previous annual general meeting. All meetings other than the annual general meeting of shareholders are referred to as special general meetings. Our board of directors may call special meetings whenever it sees fit and upon the request of: (a) any two of our directors or such number of directors equal to one quarter of the directors then at office; and/or (b) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, (i) 5% or more of our outstanding issued shares and 1% of our outstanding voting power or (ii) 5% or more of our outstanding voting power, or the Non Exempted Holding. However, under new exemption applicable as of March 12, 2024, the board of directors of an Israeli company whose shares are listed outside of Israel, shall convene a special meeting at the request of: (i) one or more shareholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding share capital instead of five (5%) in the past, and at least one percent (1%) of the voting rights in the company, or (ii) one or more shareholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the voting rights in the company, unless the applicable law incorporated in the country in which the Company is listed for trade, establishes a right to demand convening of such a meeting for those holding less than ten percent (10%) of the voting rights in the company (in which case, the Non Exempted Holding shall apply).

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, shareholders entitled to participate and vote at general meetings are the shareholders of record on a date to be decided by the board of directors, which may be between four and sixty days prior to the date of the meeting. Resolutions regarding the following matters must be passed at a general meeting of our shareholders:

Notices

The Companies Law require that a notice of any annual or special shareholders meeting be provided at least 21 days prior to the meeting, and if the agenda of the meeting includes the appointment or removal of directors, the approval of transactions with office holders or interested or related parties, approval of the company’s general manager to serve as the chairman of the board of directors or an approval of a merger, notice must be provided at least 35 days prior to the meeting.

Quorum

According to our articles of association and as permitted under the Companies Law, the quorum required for our general meetings consists of at least two shareholders present in person, by proxy, written ballot or voting by means of electronic voting system, who hold or represent between them at least 25% of the total outstanding voting rights. If within half an hour of the time set forth for the general meeting a quorum is not present, the general meeting shall stand adjourned the same day of the following week, at the same hour and in the same place, or to such other date, time and place as prescribed in the notice to the shareholders and in such adjourned meeting, any number of shareholders participating in the meeting, shall constitute a quorum.

If a special general meeting was summoned following the request of a shareholder, and within half an hour a legal quorum shall not have been formed, the meeting shall be canceled.

Adoption of Resolutions

Our articles of association provide that resolutions amending provisions of the articles of association related to the staggered board of directors and the composition of the board of directors, as well as a resolution to dismiss a director, will require an affirmative vote of 70% of the voting power represented at a general meeting and voting thereon. Other than that, and unless otherwise required under the Companies Law and our articles, all resolutions of the Company’s shareholders require a simple majority vote. A shareholder may vote in a general meeting in person, by proxy, by a written ballot.

Changing Rights Attached to Shares

Unless otherwise provided by the terms of the shares and subject to any applicable law, any modification of rights attached to any class of shares must be adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares of that class present a general meeting of the affected class or by a written consent of all the shareholders of the affected class.

The enlargement of an existing class of shares or the issuance of additional shares thereof, shall not be deemed to modify the rights attached to the previously issued shares of such class or of any other class, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the shares.

Limitations on the Right to Own Securities in Our Company

There are no limitations on the right to own our securities in our articles of association. In certain circumstances the Warrants have restrictions upon the exercise of such warrants if such exercise would result in the holders thereof owning more than 4.99% or 9.99% of our Ordinary Shares upon such exercise, as further described below.

Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our Company

Our articles of association provide for a staggered board of directors, which mechanism may delay, defer or prevent a change of control of the Company’s board of directors. Other than that, there are no specific provisions of our articles of association that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company or that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us. However, as described below, certain provisions of the Companies Law may have such effect.

The Companies Law includes provisions that allow a merger transaction and requires that each company that is a party to the merger have the transaction approved by its board of directors and, unless certain requirements described under the Companies Law are met, a vote of the majority of shareholders, and, in the case of the target company, also a majority vote of each class of its shares. For purposes of the shareholder vote of each party, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger will not be deemed approved if shares representing a majority of the voting power present at the shareholders meeting and which are not held by the other party to the merger (or by any person or group of persons acting in concert who holds 25% or more of the voting power or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of the other party) vote against the merger. If, however, the merger involves a merger with a company’s own controlling shareholder or if the controlling shareholder has a personal interest in the merger, then the merger is instead subject to the same special majority approval that governs all extraordinary transactions with controlling 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, and may further give instructions to secure the rights of creditors. If the transaction would have been approved by the shareholders of a merging company but for the separate approval of each class or the exclusion of the votes of certain shareholders as provided above, a court may still approve the merger upon the petition of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of a company. For such petition to be granted, the court must find 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. In addition, a merger may not be completed unless at least (1) 50 days have passed from the time that the requisite proposals for approval of the merger were filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies by each merging company and (2) 30 days have passed since the merger was approved by the shareholders of each merging company.

The term “Special Majority” hereof will be defined as described in section 275(a)(3) of the Companies Law as:

The Companies Law also provides that, subject to certain exceptions, an acquisition of shares in an Israeli public company must be made by means of a “special” tender offer if as a result of the acquisition (1) the purchaser would become a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, unless there is already another holder of at least 25% or more of the voting rights in the company or (2) the purchaser would become a holder of 45% or more of the voting rights in the company, unless there is already a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, the acquisition (1) was made in a private placement that received shareholders’ approval, subject to certain conditions, (2) was from a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, or (3) was from a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. A “special” tender offer must be extended to all shareholders. In general, a “special” tender offer may be consummated only if (1) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror and (2) the offer is accepted by a majority of the offerees who notified the company of their position in connection with such offer (excluding the offeror, controlling shareholders, holders of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company or anyone on their behalf, or any person having a personal interest in the acceptance of the tender offer). If a special tender offer is accepted, then the purchaser or any person or entity controlling it or under common control with the purchaser or such controlling person or entity may not make a subsequent tender offer for the purchase of shares of the target company and may not enter into a merger with the target company for a period of one year from the date of the offer, unless the purchaser or such person or entity undertook to effect such an offer or merger in the initial special tender offer.

If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of an Israeli company’s outstanding shares or of certain class of shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares, or for all of the outstanding shares of such class, as applicable. In general, if less than 5% of the outstanding shares, or of applicable class, are not tendered in the tender offer and more than half of the offerees who have no personal interest in the offer tendered their shares, all the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to it by operation of law. However, a tender offer will also be accepted if the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than 2% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class of shares. Any shareholders that was an offeree in such tender offer, whether such shareholder accepted the tender offer or not, may request, by petition to an Israeli court, (i) appraisal rights in connection with a full tender offer, and (ii) that the fair value should be paid as determined by the court, for a period of six months following the acceptance thereof. However, the acquirer is entitled to stipulate, under certain conditions, that tendering shareholders will forfeit such appraisal rights.

However, under a new exemption applicable as of March 12, 2024, the aforesaid limitations regarding a tender offer do not apply for an Israeli company whose shares are listed outside of Israel, provided that if the applicable law as applicable to companies incorporated in the country which the company is listed for trade, provide a restriction on the acquisition of control of any proportion of the company or that the acquisition of control of any proportion requires the purchaser to also offer a purchase offer to shareholders from among the public.

Lastly, Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as stock-for-stock exchanges between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less favorably than U.S. tax laws. For example, Israeli tax law may, under certain circumstances, subject a shareholder who exchanges his Ordinary Shares for shares in another corporation to taxation prior to the sale of the shares received in such stock-for-stock swap.

Changes in Our Capital

The general meeting may, by a simple majority vote of the shareholders attending the general meeting:

Exclusive Forum

Our articles of association provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act and that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Company, shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this exclusive forum provision.

Staggered Board

Our articles of association provide for a split of the board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual general meeting of our shareholders, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors will be for a term of office that expires on the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election, such that each year the term of office of only one class of directors will expire. The director whom is to be retired and re-elected shall be the director that served the longest period since its appointment or last re-election or, if more than one director served the longest time, or if a director who is not to be re-elected agrees to be re-elected, the meeting of the board of directors which sets the date and agenda for the annual general meeting (acting by a simple majority) will decide which of such directors will be brought for re-election at the relevant general meeting.

Warrants

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the warrant agent agreement between us and VStock Transfer, LLC, as warrant agent, and the form of Warrant, both of which are filed as exhibits to the 2023 Annual Report.

Exercisability 

The Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five years after their original issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to the Company a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of Ordinary Shares purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of Ordinary Shares determined according to the formula set forth in the Warrant. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

Exercise Limitation

A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to the Company.

Exercise Price

The exercise price per whole Ordinary Share purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants $4.00 per share. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Ordinary Shares and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our shareholders. Subject to certain exemptions outlined in the Warrant, for a period until two years from the date of issuance of the Warrant, if the Company shall sell, enter into an agreement to sell and subsequently sells, or grant any option to purchase, or sell, enter into an agreement to sell and subsequently sells, or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition the subsequently closes) any Ordinary Shares or convertible security, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrant then in effect, the exercise price of the Warrant shall be reduced to equal the effective price per share in such Dilutive Issuance; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise price of the Warrant be reduced to an exercise price lower than 50% of the Initial Exercise Price. On the date that is 90 calendar days immediately following the initial issuance date of the Warrants, the exercise price of the Warrants will adjust to be equal to the Reset Price, provided that such value is less than the exercise price in effect on that date. The Reset Price is equal to the greater of (a) 50% of the Initial Exercise Price of the Warrants on the issuance date or (b) 100% of the lowest volume weighted average price per Ordinary Share occurring on any day between the initial exercise date of the Warrants and 90 calendar days following the issuance date of the Warrants. The lowest Reset Price is $2.00, which is 50% of the Initial Exercise Price.

On September 20, 2022, the Company’s volume weighted average stock price was less than the exercise floor of $2.00 for the Warrants. Accordingly, effective after the closing of trading on December 14, 2022 (the 90th calendar day immediately following the issuance date of the Warrants), the Warrants were adjusted pursuant to their terms, including, but not limited to, to adjust the exercise price of the Warrants to $2.00.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without the Company’s consent.

Warrant Agent

The Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agent agreement between VStock Transfer, LLC, as warrant agent, and the Company. The Warrants were initially represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the warrant agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

Fundamental Transactions

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction without regard to any limitations on exercised contained in the Warrants. The holders of the Warrants may also require the Company or any successor entity to purchase the Warrants from the holders by paying to the holder an amount in cash (or other types or form of consideration in special circumstances listed in the Warrant) equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrant on the date of the fundamental transaction.

Home Country Practice

For so long as any of the Warrants remains outstanding, the Company will elect to follow home country practice in lieu of any rules and regulations of the trading market that would limit the Company’s ability to effect the provisions of the Warrants, including but not limited to shareholder approval rules related to the issuance of securities or adjustment of terms of this Warrant for the benefit of warrant holders.

Rights as a Shareholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrant.

Governing Law

The Warrants and the warrant agent agreement are governed by New York law.

Underwriter’s Warrants

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Underwriter’s Warrant, is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the form of Underwriter’s Warrant which was filed as an exhibit to the 2023 Annual Report.

As part of our IPO on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we issued the Underwriter’s warrant to the underwriter. The Underwriter’s Warrants are exercisable at $5.31 per Ordinary Share, became exercisable beginning on March 12, 2023 and will expire on September 12, 2027. The Underwriter’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and were therefore subject to a six-month lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110 of FINRA. Furthermore, such Underwriter’s Warrants shall be exercisable on a cash basis, provided that if a registration statement registering the ordinary shares underlying the Underwriter’s Warrants is not effective, the Underwriter’s Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and have anti-dilution terms that are consistent with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(E) and (F).

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This prospectus relates to the issuance of up to 8,048,361 Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of the following warrants, issued by us on September 15, 2022 as part of our IPO: (i) Warrants to purchase up to 7,860,861 Ordinary Shares (including Warrants to purchase up to 1,125,000 Ordinary Shares issued following the partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriter, in connection with the IPO) , and (ii) Underwriter’s Warrants issued to the Underwriter to purchase up to 187,500 Ordinary Shares. The ongoing offer and sale by us of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and Underwriter’s is being made pursuant to this prospectus.

We will deliver Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and Underwriter’s Warrants. We will not issue fractional Ordinary Shares. Each Warrant contains instructions for the exercise of such Warrant. In order to exercise a Warrant, the holder must deliver the information required by the applicable warrant agreement, along with payment of the exercise price, if the exercise price is being paid in cash, for the Ordinary Shares to be purchased. We will then deliver our Ordinary Shares in the manner described in the applicable warrant agreement.

Aegis Capital Corp., or Aegis, acted as the sole book-running manager of the IPO. Under the terms of an underwriting agreement we entered with Aegis dated September 12, 2022, we granted Aegis an option to purchase from us, at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, up to 562,500 additional Ordinary Shares and/or up to 1,125,000 over-allotment Warrants, which expired on October 27, 2022, to cover over-allotments, if any. On September 13, 2022, the Underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option with respect to Warrants to purchase up to 1,125,000 Ordinary Shares.

As additional compensation to Aegis, we issued to Aegis Underwriter’s Warrants to purchase up to 187,500 Ordinary Shares (5.0% of the number of Ordinary Shares issued in the IPO), at an exercise price per share equal to $5.31 (125.0% of the IPO price). The Underwriter’s Warrants and the underlying Ordinary Shares will not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Underwriter’s Warrants by any person for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110.

The Underwriter’s Warrants became exercisable from the date that is six months from the commencement of the sales of the offering, or March 12, 2023, and will expire four years and six months after such date, or September 12, 2027, in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(A). Furthermore, such Underwriter’s Warrants shall be exercisable on a cash basis, provided that if a registration statement registering the ordinary shares underlying the Underwriter’s Warrants is not effective, the Underwriter’s Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and have anti-dilution terms that are consistent with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(E) and (F). 

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify Aegis, its affiliates, and each person controlling Aegis against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs, and other liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of the IPO undertaken in good faith.

Other Relationships

Aegis may in the future provide us and our affiliates with such services.

In connection with our IPO, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Aegis pursuant to which we paid Aegis an aggregate of $1,275,000 in commissions and non-accountable expenses. In addition, we issued Aegis warrants to purchase five percent (5%) of the Ordinary Shares issued in the IPO at an exercise price per share equal to 125% of the public offering price.

Offer Restrictions Outside the United States

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriter that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons who come into possession of this prospectus are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

EXPENSES

Set forth below is an itemization of the total expenses, incurred and paid in connection with the offer and sale of our securities by us pursuant to the IPO and including the securities remaining covered by this prospectus. With the exception of the SEC registration fee and the FINRA filing fee, all amounts are estimates:

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters concerning the legality of the issuance of the securities offered by this prospectus and other legal matters concerning this offering were passed upon for us by Sullivan & Worcester LLP, New York, New York. Certain legal matters with respect to the legality of the issuance of the securities offered by this prospectus and other legal matters concerning this offering relating to Israeli law were passed upon for us by Sullivan & Worcester Tel Aviv (Har-Even & Co.), Tel Aviv, Israel.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for each of the years in the three-year period then ended incorporated by reference in this prospectus have been incorporated in reliance on the report of Ziv Haft, Certified Public Accountants, Isr., BDO Member Firm, an independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated herein by reference, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. The report on the consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, a substantial majority of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and a substantial of our directors and officers are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Sullivan & Worcester Tel Aviv (Har-Even & Co.), that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.

Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that among other things:

If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange, based on the latest official exchange rate published by the Bank of Israel before the payment date. However, the obligated party will fulfill his duty under the judgment even if they choose to make the payment in the same foreign currency, subject to the laws governing the foreign currency applicable at that time. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli CPI plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

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:

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:

We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and with all members of our senior management. Each such indemnification agreement shall provide the office holder with indemnification permitted under applicable law and up to a certain amount, and to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by directors and officers insurance.

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 we may exculpate, in whole or in part, any office holder from liability to us for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care, but prohibit an exculpation, in advance, from liability arising from a company’s transaction in which our controlling shareholder or office holder has a personal interest. Subject to the aforesaid limitations, under the indemnification agreements, we exculpate and release our office holders from any and all liability to us related to any breach by them of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

Limitations

The Companies Law provides that Wearable Devices Ltd., or 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 to exculpate (subject to the aforesaid limitation), indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted or to be permitted by the Companies Law.

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Set forth below are the sales of all securities by the Company since August 2021, which were not registered under the Securities Act. The Company believes that each of such issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 701 and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.  The conversions described below were exempt from registration under Securities Act in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

In November 2021, we issued warrants to purchase up to 22,205 of the Company, NIS 0.01 par value per share, or Ordinary Shares, issued to a consultant, at an exercise price of $2.25 per share to a consultant, which all are vested as of September 20, 2024.

In January 2022, we began entering into certain simple agreements for future equity, or the SAFEs, for aggregate proceeds of up to $3 million, of which we received $500 thousand under the SAFEs. Any amounts received under the SAFEs we enter into will be automatically converted into our Ordinary Shares in the event we close an Equity Financing (as defined hereinafter) at a discount of 20% from the per share purchase price in such Equity Financing. An Equity Financing is a transaction or series of transactions with the principal purpose of raising capital in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000, excluding all outstanding (i) SAFEs, and (ii) other convertible securities (if any), pursuant to which we issue and sell Ordinary Shares at a fixed pre-money valuation. In addition, we agreed to issue to each SAFE investor a warrant to purchase our Ordinary Shares with an exercise price equal to 150% of the public offering price in such offering for an aggregate amount of up to 25% of such investor’s SAFE amount. The warrants shall be exercisable until the earlier of: (i) eighteen (18) months from January 2022; or (ii) in a change of control event, which generally covers (a) transaction in which any person or group becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities with the right to vote for the election of members of our board of directors, or (b) any reorganization, merger or our consolidation, or (c) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. Following the consummation of our initial public offering, or IPO, in September 2022, $100 thousand received under the SAFEs were repaid in cash and $400 thousand were converted into 118,204 Ordinary Shares, based on the IPO price of $4.23 per Ordinary Share.

In September 2022, we issued warrants to purchase up to 23,640 Ordinary Shares, issued to an advisor, at an exercise price of $4.23 per Ordinary Share.

In February 2023, we issued a total of 169,125 Ordinary Shares to Alpha Capital Anstalt, or Alpha, and certain other investors pursuant to the terms of their April 2021 share purchase agreements with us, as amended by the June 2022 written consent with Alpha.

On June 6, 2024, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, or the SEPA, with YA II PN, LTD., or YA, pursuant to which we will be able to sell up to $10.0 million of our Ordinary Shares, or the Commitment Amount, at our sole option, any time during the three-year period following the execution date of the SEPA. Of the Commitment Amount, to date we have sold 3,715,602 Ordinary Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.7 million. Pursuant to the terms of the SEPA, any Ordinary Shares sold to YA will be priced at 97% of the market price, which is defined as the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day immediately following our delivery of an advance notice to YA.

Since August 2021, we have granted to our directors, consultants and service providers, officers, and employees options to purchase an aggregate of 1,259,385 Ordinary Shares under our 2015 Share Option Plan, with an exercise prices ranging between $0.003 and $2.251 per share. As of September 20, 2024, 372,771 options granted to directors, officers and employees were exercised, and 138,163 options forfeited, such that the total outstanding amount of options allocated or granted to directors, consultants and service providers, officers and employees as of September 20, 2024 is 1,919,189.
