On July 4, 2025, tax reform legislation was enacted in the United States through the passage of H.R.1, The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes significant corporate tax changes, including a restoration of the current deductibility for domestic research expenditures beginning in 2025, with transition options for previously capitalized amounts.

Subject to certain conditions, eligible companies may apply the credit against Israeli income tax liabilities or the Israeli qualified domestic minimum top-up tax, or, alternatively, to receive a government grant if the credit is not utilized or if the company choose irrevocably to receive a grant instead of the credit. The R&D Law requires income from a “Preferred Enterprise” or a “Preferred Technological Enterprise” in order to be eligible for the tax credit, and does not include reference to the historic “Approved Enterprise” track. Following analysis, and after considering, inter alia, (i) the existing tax regime in Israel, including the benefits described above, (ii) the Company’s existing net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), (iii) the ability to apply for additional governmental grants for capital investments, (iv) the short-, medium- and long-term benefits as compared with the longer-term benefit available under the Company’s current structure, and (v) the 7.5% flat tax rate applicable to “Preferred Technological Income” of a “Preferred Technological Enterprise” (“PTE”), the Company elected to waive its “Approved Enterprise” status and to have the Investment Law, as amended, apply to it under the PTE benefit track. As a result, the Company is eligible to, and intends to, file for grants under the R&D Law (as noted above, the R&D Law includes an option pursuant to which a qualifying company entitled to a tax credit that has not utilized such credit by the tax year ending three years following the year in which the related R&D activity was performed or if the Company chooses irrevocably, to receive the full amount of the unused credit as a grant payment instead of the credit). Government grants and refundable tax credits, such as those provided under the recently enacted R&D Law, are recognized as a reduction of the related expense when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the required conditions and that the incentive will be received. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $2.1 million as a reduction of research and development expenses and as a long-term asset.
