In October 2023, Israel was attacked by the Hamas terrorist organization and entered a state of war on several fronts. As of October 9, 2025, Israel and Hamas entered into a ceasefire agreement calling for a permanent end of the war. However, there are no assurances that such agreements will hold. In June 2025, following escalating threats and intelligence reports of imminent attacks, Israel conducted preemptive strikes on military and nuclear infrastructure in Iran. Iran responded with drones and missiles attacks, some of which caused civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. While a ceasefire was reached between Israel and Iran in June 2025 after 12 days of hostilities, on February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran, including attacks on strategic military infrastructure and leadership targets, with the stated aim of degrading Iran’s capacity to conduct or support hostile operations against them. In response, Iran has fired missiles and drones toward population centers and military installations in Israel, Europe and neighboring countries in the Gulf region, and also launched counter-strikes against U.S. forces and allied bases throughout the Gulf region. In March 2026, hostilities resumed along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon, when Hezbollah resumed its attacks as part of a broader regional escalation. In response, Israel resumed military operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, conflict continues in parts of the region. The extent to which the security situation in Israel may impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity is uncertain, and as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2025.

  

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 31, 2026.
