3.The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton formula, Binomial pricing model or Monte Carlo simulations for determining the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation related to stock options. In applying this model, the Company uses the following assumptions:
Risk-Free Interest Rate: The risk-free interest rate is based on government debentures with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group.
Volatility: The Company utilizes the trading history of its Common Stock to determine the expected stock price volatility for its Common Stock.
Expected Term: The Company determined the expected term based on general option holder behavior and expected share price
Expected Dividend Rate: The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future on its common stock.

The table below summarizes the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the options granted in 2022-2023:

Range of expected share price volatility

    

103.2%-121.85%

Range of estimated life (years)

 

4.5-8

Range of weighted average of risk-free interest rate

 

4.33%-4.5%

Expected dividend yield

 

The weighted average fair values at grant date of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 with an exercise price equal to the market value at the date of grant were $2.13 and $2.41 per share, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $1.4 million, $2.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

D.Stock Options, RSUs and Warrants (Cont.):

Restricted stock units (“RSU”)

1.From 2022 to 2024, the Company granted a total of 22,810,136 RSUs to employees, officers, and consultants, with varying vesting periods. The RSUs vest over a period of two to four years.
2.On April 22, 2021, the Group acquired 100% of the shares and voting interests in DeepCube. After the acquisition, one of DeepCube’s founders continued to work at DeepCube, in the role of Chief Technology Officer. In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, 892,465 ordinary shares of the Company will be issued to this founder, with a share price protection mechanism. The granting of these shares is subject to conditions related to the continued employment of the founder. Hence these shares were not taken into account as part of the consideration for the business combination. The fair value of those shares, with the share price protection mechanism, was estimated at $7,756, and was recognized as post-acquisition compensation cost. With respect to these shares, the Group recorded expenses of $0.76 million in 2024 and $2.4 million in each of the years 2022 and 2023.

During 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company chose to settle the share price protection mechanism in cash, and therefore the cash paid in the amount of 2024: $363 (2023: $522; 2022: $489) was treated as repurchase of equity awards that was reduced from equity.

3.On April 26, 2021, the Group acquired 100% of the shares and voting interests in NanoFabrica. In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, 1,178,008 ordinary shares of the Company will be issued to NanoFabrica’s founders, with a share price protection mechanism. The granting of these shares is subject to conditions related to the continued employment of the founders for a period of two years following the acquisition. Hence these shares were not taken into account as part of the consideration for the business combination. The fair value of those shares, with the share price protection mechanism, was estimated at $10,941, and were recognized as post-acquisition compensation cost.

During 2023 and 2022, the Company chose to settle the share price protection mechanism in cash, and therefore the cash paid in the amount of 2023: $3,937; 2022: $516 was treated as repurchase of equity awards that was reduced from equity.

2.Warrants Issued in September 2020

In August 2020, following the approval of the Company’s shareholders, in consideration for his services as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and as appropriate incentive, the Company entered into a private placement of warrants, or the Stern Transaction, with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yoav Stern. In consideration of $150,000, the Company issued to Mr. Stern warrants to purchase 6,880,402 ADSs of the Company. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 per ADS, will vest over a period of two and a half years and will expire after 7 years. The warrants are held in the name of Stern YOI Ltd. Partnership, of which Mr. Stern is a managing partner. Simultaneously with the issuance of the warrants, Mr. Stern forfeited options to purchase 581,000 ADSs, previously granted to him. In addition, as long as Mr. Stern is employed by the Company or is a member of the Company’s board of directors, Mr. Stern may invest an additional amount up to $50,000 to buy Series B Warrants, in an amount equal to 10% of the Company’s fully diluted capital. The exercise price per ADS under the Series B Warrants will be the average of the daily volume weighted average price of the ADSs for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the date of the applicable notice to purchase the Series B Warrants. In the same general meeting of shareholders that approved the Stern Transaction, the Company’s shareholders approved the amended terms of compensation of the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
