The Registration Statement relates to the registration of an additional 1,500,000 of the Company's ordinary shares, no nominal value (the "Shares"), issuable under the Safe-T Group Amended and Restated Global Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
In connection herewith, we have examined the originals, or photocopies or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Registration Statement to which this opinion is attached as an exhibit; (ii) a copy of the articles of association of the Company, as currently in effect; (iii) resolutions of the board of directors which relate to the Registration Statement and the Plan; and (iv) such other corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth. We have also made inquiries of such officers and representatives as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, confirmed as photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to these opinions that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company. In addition, we have assumed that the Shares and any equity awards that provide for the acquisition thereof will be granted in accordance with the Plan and the Company's articles of association.
We are members of the Israel Bar and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Israel and have not, for the purpose of giving this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any other jurisdiction than the State of Israel.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares issuable under the Plan have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable option grant, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

The ZoneZero® cybersecurity solutions are developed, marketed, sold and supported from November 2021 exclusively by TerraZone Ltd., a cybersecurity specialist reseller.
On August 8, 2022, we closed a non-dilutive strategic funding agreement of up to \$4,000,000 to support the further growth of our consumer privacy solutions and our customer acquisition program. Under the terms of the agreement, ORB will provide the Company with a cash commitment of \$2,000,000 with an additional \$2,000,000 available subject to achievement of certain milestones. The funding, made through a series of cash installments until July 2023, will be allocated specifically towards our customer acquisition program for one of our consumer privacy solutions. ORB is controlled by Barak Avitbul, an accomplished technology industry entrepreneur and leader and the founder and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company's enterprise privacy business subsidiary, NetNut Ltd. In addition, Mr. Avitbul was granted an opportunity to make additional investments in the Company through a series of warrants enabling him to increase his future interest in Safe-T's businesses, including the attractive consumer privacy market. The warrants are exercisable at prices reflecting premiums ranging from approximately 130% to 300% of the closing share price at the date of the agreement, for periods of up to 3 years from the vesting dates of the respective warrants. Upon potential exercise of all granted warrants, the Company may receive additional aggregate gross proceeds of between \$2,000,000 and \$4,000,000, based upon the amount of additional funding provided. The Company shall have the right to require the exercise of all or any portion of the warrants if the closing price of the Company's Ordinary Shares exceeds 150% of the respective exercise price of each series of warrants for three consecutive trading days. The Company has obtained an irrevocable undertaking from both ORB and Mr. Avitbul which includes a grant of irrevocable proxy in connection with all voting rights attached to the Ordinary Shares of the Company underlying the warrants or any shares issued for repayment. The undertaking solely applies in connection with certain voting matters and in accordance with the recommendations put forward to shareholders by Safe-T's board of directors. The irrevocable undertaking will expire in regard to any shares sold by ORB or Mr. Avitbul on a stock exchange market or upon a change of control of the Company, which for the purpose of this undertaking means the acquisition by any individual, entity or group of beneficial ownership of more than 30% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company (excluding the holdings of Mr. Avitbul in the Company for calculation of the aforesaid 30% threshold). This irrevocable proxy will continue to apply to shares sold, transferred or otherwise disposed in a private market transaction unless ORB or Mr. Avitbul provide the Company with a 45-day advanced written notice of their intention to sell or transfer the shares, and provide the Company, or any assignee on its behalf, the right of first offer to negotiate such sale and transfer. This right of notice and first offer also applies to all Ordinary Shares of the Company that may originate from exercise of the Warrants.
On July 1, 2021, we entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with Takoomi Ltd., the Sellers (as defined in the agreement) and CyberKick Ltd., or CyberKick, pursuant to which on July 4, 2021 the Company acquired all of the outstanding share capital of CyberKick, a private Israeli company, which provides SaaS security and privacy tools for consumers. CyberKick is the legal holder of certain intangible assets which were transferred to it on the acquisition date. The initial consideration for the transaction was paid for in cash and with our Ordinary Shares, as set forth below.
In consideration for the purchased shares, we paid and agreed to pay to CyberKick's shareholders, named in this prospectus, or CyberKick's Selling Shareholders:
The Company has obtained an irrevocable undertaking from two of CyberKick's Selling Shareholders, Mr. Rotem Lev and Mr. Yotam Benattia, which includes a grant of irrevocable proxy in connection with all voting rights attached to the Ordinary Shares issued to them under the Share Purchase Agreement. The irrevocable undertaking applies solely in connection with certain voting matters and in accordance with the recommendations put forward to shareholders by Safe-T's board of directors.

Please carefully consider the risk factors described in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including those set forth under the caption "Item 3. Key Information - D. Risk Factors" in our 2021 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus. You should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment.
Some of the statements made under "Risk Factors," "Use of Proceeds," and elsewhere in this prospectus, including in our 2021 Annual Report, incorporated by reference herein, and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," "believe," "should," "intend," "project" or other similar words, but are not the only way these statements are identified.
These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, statements that contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, expected capital needs and expenses, statements relating to the research, development, completion and use of our products, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.
Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these forwardlooking statements include, among other things:

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 other risk factors contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. In addition, the section of our 2021 Annual Report entitled "Item 4. Information on the Company" contains information obtained from independent industry sources and other sources that we have not independently verified.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders. All net proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus will go to the selling shareholders. However, we will receive cash proceeds equal to the total exercise price of the Warrants that are exercised.
We intend to use the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for working capital, which includes research and development and marketing, to advance our technologies and penetration into relevant markets as well as for general corporate purposes including the pursuit of strategic opportunities.
Pending our use of the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, 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, as shall be decided by our board of directors from time to time.

We are registering the Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer ADSs represented by Ordinary Shares for resale from time to time.
Within the past three years, other than the relationships described herein, the selling shareholders have not held a position as an officer a director of ours, nor has any selling shareholder had any material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates, except by way of providing services or by way of employment.

To our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

The selling shareholders of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of the securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
The selling shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
In connection with a privately negotiated transaction with ORB, as described above under "Our Company," we have obtained an irrevocable undertaking from both ORB and Mr. Avitbul which includes a grant of irrevocable proxy in connection with all voting rights attached to the Ordinary Shares of the Company underlying the warrants or any shares issued for repayment. This irrevocable proxy will continue to apply to shares sold, transferred or otherwise disposed in a privet market transaction unless ORB or Mr. Avitbul provide the Company with a 45-day advanced written notice of their intention to sell or transfer the shares, and provide the Company, or any assignee on its behalf, the right of first offer to negotiate such sale and transfer. This right of notice and first offer also applies to all Ordinary Shares of the Company that may originate from exercise of the Warrants.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with Rule 2440 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out his short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Any fees related to conversions of the Ordinary Shares to ADSs will be assumed and payable by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus.
The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Ordinary Shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the selling shareholders 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.

Certain legal matters concerning this offering were passed upon for us by Sullivan & Worcester LLP, New York, New York.

The financial statements of Safe-T Group Ltd. incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report (which contains an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as described in Note 1(d) to the financial statements) of Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
The historical financial statements of CyberKick Business as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for each of the years then ended, included in Exhibit 99.3 of Safe-T Group Ltd.'s Report on Form 6-K dated November 16, 2021 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
The following are the estimated expenses of this offering payable by us related to the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. With the exception of the SEC registration fee, all amounts are estimates and may change:
| SEC registration fee | \$ 533 |

| Legal fees and expenses | \$ 12,000 |
| Accounting fees and expenses | \$ 10,000 |
| Miscellaneous | \$ 1,000 |
| Total | \$ 23,533 |
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 an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In Israeli courts, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process and 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:
● the judgment was rendered by a court which was, according to the laws of the state of the court, competent to render the judgment;

Even if these conditions are met, an Israeli court will not declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable if:
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 in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index 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.
This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we filed with the SEC relating to the securities offered by this prospectus, which includes additional information. You should refer to the registration statement and its exhibits for additional information. Whenever we make reference in this prospectus to any of our contracts, agreements or other documents, the references are not necessarily complete and you should refer to the exhibits attached to the registration statement for copies of the actual contract, agreements or other document.
We are subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to foreign private issuers. As a "foreign private issuer," we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to their purchases and sales of shares. In addition, we are not required to file annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we will file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, and may furnish to the SEC, on Form 6-K, unaudited interim financial information.

We have included our website address in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.
The SEC allows us to "incorporate by reference" the information we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents.

Under the Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our Articles of Association contain such a provision. An Israeli company may not exculpate a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.
An Israeli company may indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed as an office holder, either in advance of an event or following an event provided a provision authorizing such indemnification is contained in its articles of association:
An Israeli company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed as an office holder if and to the extent provided in the company's articles of association:
II-1
An Israeli company may not indemnify or insure an office holder against any of the following:
Under the Israeli Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders must be approved by the compensation committee, the board of directors (and, with respect to directors and the chief executive officer, by the shareholders). However, under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, the insurance of office holders shall not require shareholder approval and may be approved by only the compensation committee, if the engagement terms are determined in accordance with the company's compensation policy and that policy was approved by the shareholders by the same special majority required to approve a compensation policy, provided that the insurance policy is on market terms and the insurance policy is not likely to materially impact the company's profitability, assets or obligations.
Our Articles of Association allow us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders for any liability imposed on them as a consequence of an act (including any omission) which was performed by virtue of being an office holder. Our office holders are currently covered by a directors and officers' liability insurance policy.
We have entered into agreements with each of our directors and executive officers exculpating them in advance from liability to us for damages caused to us as a result of a breach of duty of care, and undertaking to indemnify them. This exculpation and indemnification is limited both in terms of amount and coverage and it covers certain amounts regarding administrative proceedings insurable or indemnifiable under the Companies Law and our Articles of Association.
In the opinion of the SEC, however, indemnification of directors and office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.
There is no pending litigation or proceeding against any of our office holders as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any office holder.

(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the "Registration Statement") being filed by Safe-T Group Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for the registration of the re-sales by the selling shareholders identified in the Registration Statement (the "Selling Shareholders") of up to 11,264,440 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") representing ordinary shares, no par value per share, of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") issued and issuable pursuant to certain earnout provisions described in the Registration Statement or upon the exercise of warrants described in the Registration Statement (the "Warrant ADSs"), each of such ADSs (once converted from Ordinary Shares to ADSs, if applicable) to be offered and sold from time to time by certain of the selling shareholders listed in the Registration Statement.
We are acting as Israeli counsel for the Company in connection with the Registration Statement. In connection herewith, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, to which this opinion is attached as an exhibit, (ii) a copy of the articles of association of the Company (the "Articles"); (iii) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company which have heretofore been approved and which relate to the Registration Statement and the actions to be taken in connection with the offering of the securities; and (iv) such other corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs, issue and to be issued pursuant to the earnout provisions as described in the Registration Statement, are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (ii) the issuance of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants ADSs, when issued and sold by the Company and delivered by the Company against receipt of the exercise price therefor, in accordance with the terms thereof, including the receipt of the consideration therefor by the Company, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

In rendering our opinions, we have not considered, and hereby disclaim any opinion as to, the application or impact of any laws, cases, decisions, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction, court or administrative agency. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters.
This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose, or furnished to, quoted or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written consent, except that (A) this opinion may be furnished or quoted to judicial or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over you, and (B) this opinion may be relied upon by purchasers and holders of the securities covered by the Registration Statement currently entitled to rely on it pursuant to applicable provisions of federal securities law.

Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Board shall be entitled, subject to any applicable law, to authorize any one of its members to sign share transfer deeds in customary form in respect of the Underlying Shares held by such Participant and that such share transfer deed shall bind the Participant.
Despite the aforementioned and for the avoidance of any doubt, if and when the method of treatment of Granted Awards within the scope of a Merger Transaction, as provided above, will in the sole opinion of the Board prevent the consummation of the Merger Transaction, or materially risk the consummation of the Merger Transaction, the Board (subject to the receipt of any approval required under Law) may determine different treatment for different Granted Awards held by Participants such that not all Granted Awards will be treated equally within the scope of the Merger Transaction.
In the event that the Granted Awards shall be cancelled or repurchased upon the consummation of a Merger Transaction, the Company shall provide notice to such Participants in same manner as provided regarding the Merger Transaction to any other shareholders of the Company not represented in the Board. Such notice shall be sent to the last known address of the Participants according to the records of the Company. The Company shall not be under any obligation to ensure that such notice was actually received by the Participants.
Fraction of Shares - In any event that the Company will be required to issue to a Participant fraction of Shares pursuant to this Section 4, the Company will not issue fraction of Shares and the number of Shares shall be rounded down to the closest number of Shares.
For the purposes of this section, the Company's calculation will be final, and the Participant shall have no claims or demands against the Company or anyone on its behalf.
4.3 [Reserved]
4.4 [Reserved]
4.5 Adjustment Due to a Change of Control: In the event of a Change of Control the Board shall be entitled, subject to the receipt of any approval required under Law, to apply any of the alternatives included in section 4.2 above as they deem appropriate in their sole and absolute discretion.
Subject to the Law, the Articles of Association of the Company, and any resolution to the contrary by the Board, the Administrator is authorized, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exercise all powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan (subject to the approval of the Board if such approval is required by Law) including, without limitation;
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1 above, no interpretations, determinations or actions of the Administrator shall contradict the provisions of applicable Law, and no waiver or amendment with respect to the Plan shall have a material adverse effect on any Participant's rights in connection with any Granted Awards under the Plan without receiving the consent of such Participant.
Any decisions made pursuant to this Plan and any use of discretion under the Plan shall be at all times subject to the full and complete compliance with the requirements of the Law and the Articles of Association of the Company and any other regulations which may apply to the Company or the Board (including any "compensation policy" adopted by the Company) when taking action under the Plan.
Awards may be Allocated and/or Granted (as the case may be) at any time after:
6.3 Award Letters. Any grant of Award to a Participant shall be made in a form of an Award Letter and shall include a copy of the Plan. The receipt by a Participant of such Award Letter shall be deemed a consent by such Participant that the Award is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award Letter and the Plan.
6.4 Material Breach. In an event of a material breach by a Participant of the terms of the Plan or the Award Letter provided to him or her, or the applicable engagement agreement with such Participant, and without derogating any of the remedies available to the Company under any applicable law, the Company may, at its sole discretion, after sending a written notice to such Participant, forfeit the right of the Participant to some or all the Awards granted to such Participant.
The Exercise Price for Granted Awards, if applicable, shall be determined by the Administrator. The Exercise Price, if applicable, shall be set forth in the Award Letter; provided however that:
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Options that are granted on a certain date shall, subject to continued employment with or service to the Company or Affiliate by the Participant, become vested and exercisable, or free from vesting restrictions, as applicable, in accordance with the following vesting schedule:
Restricted Shares shall be subject to such restrictions as set forth under Section 27(b) and/or any additional restrictions determined by the Administrator (the "Restrictions"), during the respective Restriction Period.
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Restriction Period shall be as follows:
No exercise of Options by any Participant shall be for a quantity of less than 10% of the Granted Options or such other minimum sum determined by the Administrator. An Award may not be exercised for fractional shares. The exercise of a portion of the Granted Award shall not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining unexercised Awards held by the Trustee on behalf of the Participant.

Such notice shall specify the number of Award Granted, which the Participant waives, and shall be signed by the Participant.
If a Participant ceases to be an employee, director, officer or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate for any reason ("Termination of Engagement") other than death, Retirement, Disability, pursuant to Section 10.5 herein, or Cause (whereby in case of Cause, the provisions of Section 10.2 shall apply) , then any vested but unexercised Awards on the date of Termination of Engagement (as shall be determined by the Company or an Affiliate, in its sole discretion), Allocated on the Participant's behalf may be exercised, if not previously expired, not later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the date of Termination of Service; or (ii) the Term of the Award.

Such Shares or other securities shall be sold and transferred within 30 days from the date of the Company's notice of its election to exercise its right. If the Participant fails to transfer such Shares or other securities to the Company, the Company, at the decision of the Board, shall be entitled to forfeit or repurchase such Shares and to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Participant any document necessary to effect such transfer, whether or not the share certificates are surrendered. The Company shall have the right and authority to affect the above either by: (i) repurchasing all of such Shares or other securities held by the Participant or by the Trustee for the benefit of the Participant, or designate any other person who shall have the right and authority to purchase all of Such Shares or other securities, for the Exercise Price paid for such Shares, the par value of such Shares (if shares bear a par value) or for no payment or consideration whatsoever, as the Board deems fit; (ii) forfeiting all such Shares or other securities; (iii) redeeming all such Shares or other securities, for the Exercise Price paid for such Shares, the par value of such Shares (if shares bear a par value) or for no payment or consideration whatsoever, as the Board deems fit; (iv) taking action in order to have such Shares or other securities converted into deferred shares entitling their holder only to their par value (if shares bear a par value) upon liquidation of the Company; or (v) taking any other action which may be required in order to achieve similar results; all as shall be determined by the Board, at its sole and absolute discretion, and the Participant is deemed to irrevocably empower the Company or any person which may be designated by it to take any action by, in the name of or on behalf of the Participant to comply with and give effect to such actions (including, voting such shares, filling in, signing and delivering share transfer deeds, etc.).
All other Awards granted for the benefit of Participant shall expire or be forfeited in accordance with the provisions of this Plan upon the date of Termination of Engagement.
In the event of Termination of Engagement of a Participant for Cause, then (A) the Participant's right to exercise any unexercised Award, granted to such Participant, whether vested or not on the date of Termination of Engagement, shall cease as of such date of Termination of Engagement, and the Awards shall thereupon expire and (B) any unvested Granted Awards shall be forfeited in accordance with the provisions of this Plan (which shall apply, mutatis-mutandis, where applicable) on the day the Participant is notified of his dismissal or on such earlier date as the Administrator may determine.
If subsequent to the Participant's Termination of Engagement, but prior to the exercise of Awards granted to such Participant, the Administrator determines that either prior or subsequent to the Participant's Termination of Engagement, the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause, then the Participant's right to exercise the Awards granted to such Participant shall immediately cease upon such determination and the Awards shall thereupon expire. The determination by the Administrator as to the occurrence of Cause shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Plan.
(A) Death. If Termination of Engagement is by reason of death of the Participant, than (A) his/her estate, personal representative or beneficiaries, may exercise the Participant's Awards, to the extent it was vested within the 60th day after the Participant's death, at any time but not later than the first to occur of: (i) one (1) year following Participant's death; or (ii) the end of the Term of the Awards and (B) any rights upon vested Shares shall be delivered to Participant's estate, personal representative or beneficiaries but only to the extent it was vested within the 60th day after employment terminates.

A Participant's right to Awards that were granted to him or her under this Plan, or the exercise thereof , shall not be terminated or expire or forfeited solely as a result of the fact that the Participant's employment or service as an employee, officer or director changes from the Company to an Affiliate or vice versa or if the status of engagement changes. The transfer of a Participant from a status of an employee, officer, or director to a status of a Consultant or from a status of a Consultant to a status of an employee, officer, or director, shall not be deemed a Termination of Engagement for purposes hereof, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. Any and all tax consequence of such a transfer or change, if any, shall be solely borne by the Participant.
All Awards granted to Qualified Participants or Non-Qualified Participants under this Plan shall be Granted in accordance with one of the Tax Provisions as follows:
Awards granted to other Participants shall, at the discretion of the Administrator, be governed by Section 3(i), or, if applicable, by the provisions of the respective addendum or appendices adopted, if adopted, by the Board.

However, upon exercise of Awards under this Tax Track, the Trustee shall hold such Underlying Shares for the benefit of the Qualified Participant in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.
The Holding Period, if any, is in addition to the vesting period as specified in Section 7.2 of the Plan (or in the Award Letter). The Holding Period and vesting period may run concurrently, but neither is a substitute for the other, and each are independent terms and conditions for Granted Awards.
The terms and conditions applicable to the trust relating to the Tax Track selected by the Company, as appropriate, shall be set forth in an agreement signed by the Company and the Trustee (the "Trust Agreement").
No Shares issued by the Company to the Trustee, nor Underlying Shares issued upon exercise of Awards, shall be held by the Trustee on behalf of the Participant for a period longer than ten (10) years after the end of the Term of the Award.

Payments of such dividend to the Participants shall be subject to any required tax being withheld or otherwise deducted by the Trustee or the Company, as agreed between the Company and the Trustee. In case of distribution of a cash dividend, subject always the Section 102 Rules (if applicable) so long as Shares deposited with the Trustee on behalf of a Participant are held in trust, the Company shall transfer to the Trustee the amount of dividend resulting from the Underlying Shares held by the Trustee for the benefit of Participants in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. The Trustee shall deduct all applicable taxes from the dividend amount and transfer the remaining dividend amount to such Participants.

The Options, Granted Awards and any Underlying Shares are extraordinary, one-time benefits granted to the Participants and are not and shall not be deemed a salary component for any purpose whatsoever, including, in connection with calculating severance compensation under any applicable law.

The Board of Safe-T Group Ltd. (the "Company") established the Safe-T Group Ltd. Amended and Restated Global Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Through the Plan, the Company established a framework to aid the Company in attracting and retaining the best available individuals for positions of substantial responsibility, and to promote the success of the Company's and Affiliate's business by aligning the financial interests of individuals providing services to the Company and Affiliates with long-term shareholder value.
The Board determined that it was necessary and desirable to establish a sub-plan of the Plan for the purpose of granting Shares, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Options to Eligible Persons who are residents of the United States or who are or may become subject to U.S. tax (i.e., income tax, social security and/or withholding tax ("U.S. Participants")), with such Options qualifying as either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory Stock Options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, to cause all Restricted Share Units and Options under the Plan to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code, and to cause all Shares, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units and Options to comply with certain other provisions and exemptions under U.S. law. The terms of the Plan, as amended from time to time, shall, subject to the provisions hereof, constitute this U.S. Sub-Plan of the Plan (this "U.S. Sub-Plan"). This U.S. Sub-Plan supplements, and shall be read in conjunction with the Plan, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan; provided, that to the extent that the terms and conditions of the Plan differ from or conflict with the terms or conditions of this U.S. Sub-Plan, the terms and conditions of this U.S. Sub-Plan shall prevail.
For the purposes of this U.S. Sub-Plan, the definitions set out in the Plan shall apply to this U.S. Sub-Plan as such definitions apply to the Plan and in addition the following terms shall have the following meanings (unless the context requires otherwise):
Shares, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options shall be governed by the terms of the Plan to the extent not otherwise provided for in this U.S. Sub-Plan.
3.1.3 Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for an Option shall be determined by the Board, provided that such exercise price shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective Date of Grant of the Option. No Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall have an exercise price per share less than one-hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective Date of Grant of the Option.
3.1.4 Exercise Payment. Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows: (a) in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company; (b) by payment in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company, of the par value of the Shares to be acquired and by payment of the balance of the exercise price in whole or in part by delivery of the Participant's recourse promissory note, in a form specified by the Board and to the extent consistent with applicable law, secured by Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option and such other security as the Board may require; (c) except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Grant Letter or approved by the Board, in its sole discretion, by (1) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding or (2) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding; (d) by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value, provided (1) the method of payment is then permitted under applicable law, (2) the Shares, if acquired directly from the Company, was owned by the Participant for a minimum period of time, if any, as may be established by the Board in its sole discretion, and (3) the Shares are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements; (e) in the case of a Non-Statutory Stock Option, by delivery of a notice of "net exercise" to the Company, as a result of which the Participant would receive (1) the number of shares underlying the portion of the Option being exercised less (2) such number of shares as is equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price for the portion of the Option being exercised divided by (ii) the value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise and, at the election of the Participant, less (iii) such number of shares as is equal in value to the withholding obligation (if any); (f) to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided for in the applicable Grant Letter or approved by the Board in its sole discretion, by payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine; or (g) by any combination of the above permitted forms of payment.

The following provisions shall control any grants of Options that are denominated as Incentive Stock Options.
3.2.3 Exercise Limitation. To the extent that Options that are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options (granted under all Shares plans of the Company, including the Plan) become exercisable by a U.S. Participant for the first time during any calendar year for Shares having a Fair Market Value greater than one-hundred thousand dollars (\$100,000), the portion of such Options which exceed such amount shall be treated as Non-Statutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 3.2.4, Options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of Shares shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such Shares is granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a limitation different from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Non-Statutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the U.S. Participant may designate which portion of such Option the U.S. Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the U.S. Participant shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. Upon exercise of the Option, Shares issued pursuant to each such portion shall be separately identified.
3.2.4 Post-Termination Exercise. An Incentive Stock Option shall remain exercisable following a termination of employment (including Retirement) from the Company or an ISO Subsidiary, to the extent the Employee was entitled to exercise such Option at the date of termination of employment, only until the expiration of (A) three months after the termination of employment from the Company and an ISO Subsidiary for any reason, including any change in a U.S. Participant's engagement status between Employee and a consultant, but other than his or her death or disability (within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)(3)), and (B) one year after the termination of employment from the Company and any ISO Subsidiary on account of his or her death or disability (as defined above). In the case of the death of the U.S. Participant, the Option may be exercised by the U.S. Participant's estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance. If such disability is not a "disability" as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Statutory Stock Option on the day three months and one day following a termination of employment from the Company and any ISO Subsidiary on account of disability. Notwithstanding Section 10.4 of the Plan, the Administrator shall be permitted to extend any of the periods stated in Sections 10.1- 10.3 of the Plan only to the extent such extension is compliant with the Code and any applicable any federal or state law, rule or regulation.
The following additional provisions shall control any grants of Restricted Share Units:
4.1 Manner of Exercise of Board Authority. At any time that a member of the Board is not a Qualified Member, any action of the Board relating to an Option intended to be covered by an exemption under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act may be taken by a committee or subcommittee, designated as the "U.S. Sub-Committee," composed solely of two or more Qualified Members or may be taken by the Board or the U.S. Sub-Committee but with each such member who is not a Qualified Member abstaining or recusing himself or herself from such action, provided that, upon such abstention or recusal, the Board or U.S. Sub-Committee remains composed of at least two or more Qualified Members. Such action, authorized by the U.S. Sub-Committee or by the Board upon the abstention or recusal of such non-Qualified Member(s), shall be the action of the Board for purposes of the Plan. The express grant of any specific power to the Board, and the taking of any action by the Board, shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Board. To the fullest extent authorized under applicable law, the Board may delegate to officers or managers of the Company or any Affiliate, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as the Board shall determine, to perform such functions, including administrative functions, as the Board may determine, to the extent that such delegation will not cause Options intended to qualify for an exemption under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act to fail to so qualify.

5.1 Section 409A Compliance. The Company intends that Shares, Restricted Shares, Options and Restricted Share Units granted pursuant to the Plan to U.S. Participants be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code (including any amendments or replacements of such section), and the Plan shall be so construed. Notwithstanding other provisions of this U.S. Sub-Plan or any Grant Letters hereunder, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, no Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit shall be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, settled, paid out or modified under this U.S. Sub-Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a U.S. Participant. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Board that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments in respect of any Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Grant Letter, as the case may be, without causing the U.S. Participant holding such Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, including as a result of the fact that the U.S. Participant is a "specified employee" under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment on the first day that would not result in the U.S. Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 5.1 in good faith; provided, that neither the Company, the Board nor any of the Company's employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to U.S. Participants with respect to this Section 5.1. Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, the terms of Section 4 of the Plan as they relate to U.S. Participants shall be subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following such effective date the Board determines that any Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after such effective date), the Board may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Grant Letter or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Share, Restricted Share. Option or Restricted Share Unit, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section.
5.2 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by law, the Company may withhold or cause to be withheld income and other taxes with respect to any income recognized by a Participant by reason of the exercise of an Option or settlement of a Share, Restricted Share, or Restricted Share Unit, and as a condition to the receipt of any Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit the Participant shall agree that if the amount payable to him or her by the Company or any Affiliate employing the Participant in the ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes, then the Participant shall upon the request of the Company pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax.
Neither this U.S. Sub-Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving any Eligible Person or U.S. Participant the right to continue as an Eligible Person or U.S. Participant or in the employee or service of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate any Eligible Person's or U.S. Participant's employment or service at any time, (iii) giving an Eligible Person or U.S. Participant any claim to be granted any Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit under the Plan or to be treated uniformly with other U.S. Participants and employees, or (iv) conferring on a U.S. Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until the U.S. Participant is duly issued or transferred Shares in accordance with the terms of an Option or Restricted Share Unit, or an Option is duly exercised or the Restricted Share Unit is settled. Except as expressly provided in this U.S. Sub-Plan and a Grant Letter, neither this U.S. Sub-Plan nor any Grant Letter shall confer on any person other than the Company and the U.S. Participant any rights or remedies thereunder.
This U.S. Sub-Plan shall in all respects be governed by and be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principals of conflicts of laws, and applicable provisions of U.S. federal law. The state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with this U.S. Sub-Plan and accordingly any proceedings, suit or action arising out of this U.S. Sub-Plan shall be brought in such courts.
