A.Litigation:

On February 12, 2023, Murchinson Ltd., BPY Limited, Nomis Bay Ltd., Boothbay Absolute Return Strategies, LP. and Boothbay Diversified Alpha Master Fund, LP., (collectively “Murchinson”) filed a statement of claim in the Central District Court in Israel (the “Court”), alleging that certain shares of the Company, registered under Form S8, filed with the SEC on January 27, 2023, were allocated unlawfully and in bad faith, resulting in the deprivation of shareholders’ rights. The Company filed a statement of defense and certain discovery affidavits were exchanged between the parties. On April 28, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion for withdrawal of the claim, which was approved by the Court on April 29, 2025.

On February 27, 2023, the Company filed a statement of claim in the Central District Court in Israel, alleging that Murchinson had no right, pursuant to Israeli law, to convene a special meeting of shareholders because they were not shareholders of the Company (but rather ADS holders). Murchinson filed a statement of defense and certain discovery affidavits were exchanged between the parties. Following a pre-trial hearing on June 18, 2023, the Court ordered that the matter will be stayed until the Court rules on the claim that Murchinson filed on March 26, 2023 (as detailed below). On November 21, 2024, the Court ruled in favor of Murchinson in the statement of claim that Murchinson filed on March 26, 2023. On April 28, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion for withdrawal of the claim, which was approved by the Court on April 29, 2025.

On March 26, 2023, Murchinson filed a statement of claim, along with a motion for temporary injunctive relief, in the Central District Court in Israel, alleging that Murchinson had the right, pursuant to Israeli law, to convene a special meeting of shareholders on March 20, 2023, and that the resolutions approved in that special general meeting were legal and binding. On November 21, 2024, the Court issued its ruling on the claim. The Court accepted Murchinson’s claim that as ADR holders of the Company, Murchinson were within their rights to convene the special meeting of shareholders on March 20, 2023, and therefore the special meeting of shareholders was legal and binding. Consequently, the Court ruled that the resolutions adopted at the special meeting of shareholders on March 20, 2023 were valid and binding. The Court also ordered the Company to pay Murchinson 200,000 NIS in legal fees. On January 20, 2025, the Court’s ruling became final (considering that the Company did not file an appeal until that date). On December 11, 2024, Murchinson sent a demand letter in which it demanded that the Company reimburse their costs related to the special meeting of shareholders on March 20, 2023, including litigation costs, pursuant to section 64(b) of the Companies Law. Murchinson did not commence a legal proceeding in connection with this demand letter. At this stage, the Company cannot estimate the chances of the demand to be accepted.

A.Litigation (Cont.):

On August 31, 2023, Murchinson filed a statement of claim in the Central District Court in Israel, against the Company and Mr. Yoav Stern, alleging that the Company wrongfully counted certain proxy cards during the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders held on September 7, 2023 and that as a result certain members of the board were removed and replaced by Murchinson’s nominees and other members of the board were removed entirely. The Company filed a counterstatement of claim on January 18, 2024, and its statement of defense on January 21, 2024. On September 23, October 27 and November 25, 2024, hearings were held. On April 23, 2025, the Company filed a motion to schedule a hearing regarding the need (or lack thereof) to adjudicate the claim and counterclaim, alleging that this matter had become moot due to changes in the Company’s board of directors that took place in the recent months. Murchinson filed its response to the motion and the response on April 29, 2025.

(together in this paragraph, “Murchinson”), Anson Advisors Inc., Anson Funds Management LP, and Anson Management GP LLC (together, “Anson”), and Boothbay Fund Management, LLC, Boothbay Absolute Return Strategies LP and Boothbay Diversified Alpha Master Fund, LP (together, “Boothbay”) improperly engaged in coordinated efforts to acquire a large stake in the Company and interfered with its business operations, in violation of U.S. securities laws and New York law. The complaint also alleged that the defendants’ conduct violated Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and constituted breach of contract, tortious interference with prospective business relationships, and unjust enrichment.

On May 20, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision.

On July 14, 2023, the Company filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, alleging that Murchinson and Anson breached multiple provisions of the contract that governs their holdings of ADS certificates of the Company. On August 3, 2023, the Supreme Court of the State of New York denied the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction and temporarily stayed the Company’s claim until the Central District Court in Israel issued a ruling regarding Murchinson’s right, pursuant to Israeli law, to convene a special meeting of shareholders on March 20, 2023. On July 31, 2025, the Company served and filed a Notice of Discontinuance, which disposed of all claims in this action without prejudice.

On August 9, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. On April 24, 2025, the motion to dismiss hearing was held before Judge Rochon. On May 14, 2025, the Southern District of New York granted the Company’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and dismissed the complaint with prejudice.

On July 20, 2023, Mr. Kfir Sapir, an ADR holder of the Company, filed a motion, in the Tel Aviv District Court in Israel, to certify a derivative action against the Company and its directors, in which he claimed that the directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the takeover bid the Company made in 2023 to acquire shares of Stratasys Ltd. The Company and the directors filed responses to the motion to certify a derivative action and a pre-trial hearing is held on June 11, 2025, in which the court ordered the claimant to notify the court by June 19, 2025, whether he wishes to maintain the motion to certify a derivative action or seeks to withdraw it.

(“DeepCube”). On October 19, 2023, following a response filed by the Company and based on Mr. Sapir’s statement that he intended to file a motion to certify a derivative action, the Court dismissed the discovery motion without prejudice. On September 5, 2023, Mr. Sapir filed a motion, in the Tel Aviv District Court in Israel, to certify a derivative action against the Company and its directors, alleging that the Company’s acquisition of DeepCube was unreasonable and that the directors breached their fiduciary duties by approving the acquisition of DeepCube.
