PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED SEPTEMBER 19, 2024

EVOGENE LTD.

3,384,616 Ordinary Shares Offered by the Selling Shareholder

This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, by the selling shareholder named herein, or the Selling Shareholder, or its pledgees, donees, transferees, or other successors in interest, of up to 3,384,616 of our ordinary shares, par value 0.20 New Israeli Shekels, or NIS, per share, or ordinary shares, that are issuable upon exercise of 3,384,616 ordinary warrants, or the ordinary warrants, held by the Selling Shareholder.

The ordinary warrants held by the Selling Shareholder were sold to it by our company in a private placement that was completed on August 26, 2024 pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement, dated as of August 23, 2024, or the Securities Purchase Agreement, by and between our company and the Selling Shareholder. Pursuant to that private placement, we sold to the Selling Shareholder an aggregate of 3,384,616 ordinary warrants, consisting of 1,692,308 Series A ordinary warrants to purchase up to 1,692,308 ordinary shares, or the Series A warrants, and 1,692,308 Series B ordinary warrants to purchase up to 1,692,308 ordinary shares, or the Series B warrants. The Series A warrants have an exercise price of \$3.55 per share, were immediately exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from issuance. The Series B warrants have an exercise price of \$3.55 per share, were immediately exercisable upon issuance and will expire eighteen months from issuance. The private placement was effected pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The Selling Shareholder may sell the 3,384,616 ordinary shares underlying the ordinary warrants held by it in one or more offerings under this prospectus, for its own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares by the Selling Shareholder. We will, however, receive up to an aggregate of approximately \$12.02 million in cash from the exercise of the ordinary warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all the ordinary warrants.

The Selling Shareholder may offer and sell any of the ordinary shares offered hereby from time to time at fixed prices, at market prices or at negotiated prices, and may engage a broker, dealer or underwriter to sell the securities. In connection with any sales of ordinary shares offered hereunder, the Selling Shareholders, any underwriters, agents, brokers or dealers participating in such sales may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. For additional information on the possible methods of sale that may be used by the Selling Shareholder, you should refer to the section titled "Plan of Distribution" elsewhere in this prospectus. We do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Shareholder may offer the ordinary shares for sale. The Selling Shareholder may sell any, all or none of the shares offered by this prospectus.

As of the date of this prospectus, our ordinary shares are listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "EVGN". The last reported sale price of our ordinary shares on September 17, 2024 was \$2.84 per share.

Investing in our ordinary shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 8 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our ordinary shares, as well as the risks described under the heading "Item 3 Key Information – D. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024, and in other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Our Company

We are a leading computational biology company aiming to revolutionize life-science product development across several market segments, including human health, agriculture, and other industries, by utilizing cutting-edge computational technologies.

The main challenge in product development in the life science industry is finding the winning candidates out of a vast number of possible prospects that address a complex myriad of criteria to reach successful products. We believe that by utilizing an advanced computational biology platform to identify the most promising candidates addressing multiple development challenges toward successful life-science products, we can increase the probability of success while reducing time and cost.

To achieve this mission, we established our unique Computational Predictive Biology, or CPB, platform, leveraging big data and artificial intelligence and incorporating deep multidisciplinary understanding in life sciences. The CPB platform is the basis for three technology engines; each focused on the direction and acceleration of the discovery and development of products based on one of the following core components: Microbes – MicroBoost AI; Small molecules – ChemPass AI; and Genetic elements – GeneRator AI. In 2023, we emphasized our research and development efforts on MicroBoost AI and ChemPass AI, and we plan to maintain this focus moving forward.

We use our technological engines to support the development of life science-based products through dedicated subsidiaries and with strategic partners. Currently, our main activities are directed through our subsidiaries, which utilize the technological engines to develop human microbiome-based therapeutics by Biomica, ag-chemicals by Ag Plenus, agbiologicals by Lavie Bio and castor seeds for bio-based industrial applications by Casterra.

For additional information about our business, you should refer to our reports under the Exchange Act, referenced under the heading "Information Incorporated by Reference." Before making an investment decision, you should read this entire prospectus, and our other filings with the SEC, including those filings incorporated herein and therein by reference, carefully, including the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

Recent Developments

Results of Operations for Second Quarter and First Half of 2024

On August 22, 2024, we announced our results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, which included the following consolidated financial highlights for our company, as well as the following business highlights for our parent company and specific subsidiary companies:

Financial Highlights:

•Revenue increase: Our revenue grew to approximately \$914,000 and \$5.1 million in the second quarter, and first half, respectively, of 2024, as compared to approximately \$654,000 and \$1.3 million in the corresponding periods of 2023, which increase was primarily driven by: (i) in the case of the second quarter, increased revenue of our subsidiary Lavie Bio, and (ii) in the case of the first half of 2024, revenues recognized from our subsidiary Lavie Bio's licensing agreement with Corteva Agriscience LLC, or Corteva and our subsidiary Ag Plenus' new collaboration with Bayer AG.

•Decrease in net loss: Our net loss decreased to approximately \$6.0 million and \$9.8 million for the second quarter and first half of 2024, respectively, compared to approximately \$7.8 million and \$14.8 million in the corresponding periods of 2023, which decrease was primarily due to: (i) in the case of the second quarter, decreased operating expenses, and (ii) in the case of the first half of 2024, increased revenues, decreased operating expenses, partially offset by approximately \$0.5 million of one-time other expenses, related to ceasing our former subsidiary Canonic's operations (as described below) and an increase in financial income.

Certain Evogene Business Updates From the First Half of 2024:

-Ceasing Canonic's operation: During the first half of 2024, we announced that we have decided to cease the operations of our subsidiary Canonic, which specialized in customized medical cannabis products, following challenging market conditions in the medical cannabis sector. Resources will be reallocated to areas with greater growth potential, such as funding our subsidiary Casterra's needs for ongoing capital.

-Establishment of Finally Foods: We reported that in March 2024, Evogene and The Kitchen FoodTech Hub by Strauss Group, or TKH, established Finally Foods Ltd., or Finally Foods, an artificial intelligence, or AI, driven company focused on sustainable protein production in plants, for the food sector. Finally, Foods will leverage Evogene's AI technology to modify plants for efficient protein production. This new company has secured pre-seed funding from TKH and the Israeli Innovation Authority. Evogene holds approximately a 40% stake in the new company.

-Collaboration with Verb Biotics: We reported that in February 2024, Evogene and Verb Biotics LLC, or Verb Biotics, entered into a collaboration agreement to advance probiotic innovation by developing new strains of probiotic bacteria that produce sustainable quantities of microbial metabolites, which enhance human health and vitality. The collaboration will leverage our MicroBoost AI tech-engine and Verb Biotics' expertise in microbiome health.

Subsidiaries Business Updates:

Casterra: This subsidiary focuses on developing an integrated solution to enable large-scale commercial cultivation of castor to address the global demand for stable castor oil supply, mainly for the biodiesel industry. Casterra utilizes GeneRator AI tech engine to direct and accelerate the development of its elite castor seed varieties.

We reported that on June 25,2024, Casterra announced it will be receiving a \$440,000 purchase order to supply castor seeds to a new African country in 2024. This order from an existing customer expands Casterra's operations and strengthens its position in the bio-fuel market.

On July 31, 2024, Casterra announced the successful completion of its castor seed growing and harvesting season in Brazil, with shipments planned for the third quarter of 2024. Additionally, the castor harvest season in Africa has begun as scheduled.

Castor seeds produced in both Brazilian and African territories are expected to enable Casterra to meet all its existing orders. Certain of those orders will be filled on a delayed basis, however, and we may not realize the full amount of revenues from those orders. Please see "Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Our Business— Casterra, our subsidiary, has experienced delays…" elsewhere in this prospectus.

Biomica: This subsidiary is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing microbiome-based therapeutics, utilizing our MicroBoost AI tech-engine.

On January 17, 2024, Biomica announced that it successfully completed Phase I trial enrollment for a microbiome-based immuno-oncology drug. The Phase I trial enrollment is evaluating safety and tolerability for Biomica's microbiome-based immuno-oncology drug, BMC128.

In May 2024, Biomica announced encouraging initial findings from its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial investigating the safety and tolerability of its microbiome-based immunooncology candidate, BMC128, in combination with nivolumab, an anti-PD1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma, or renal cell carcinoma (RCC). While we are encouraged by those early results, the clinical trial is still ongoing. Further data will become available and analyzed by Biomica through the months following May 2024 to gain a deeper understanding of the therapeutic potential of BMC128 in combination with nivolumab in cancer treatment.

Lavie Bio: This subsidiary is a leading ag-biologicals company that develops microbiome-based, computational-driven, bio-stimulant and bio-pesticide products, utilizing Evogene's MicroBoost AI tech-engine. We reported the following recent business developments for Lavie Bio:

In July 2024, Lavie Bio announced that it had successfully completed testing of Yalos™ for winter wheat and will commence sales across the United States for the 2024-2025 season, effectively doubling its market potential.

In July 2024, Lavie Bio announced a significant milestone in its collaboration with ICL Group Ltd. to develop bio-stimulant solutions for key row crops facing extreme weather conditions by leveraging AI to identify over a dozen novel microbes within 12 months.

Lavie Bio's pipeline is advancing according to plan, with field trials initiated in the second quarter of 2024 in most of the company's programs, following successful optimization processes. Results are expected during the fourth quarter of 2024.

AgPlenus: This subsidiary aims to design effective and sustainable crop protection products (crop protection refers to the science and practice of managing risks of weed, plant diseases, and insects that damage agricultural crops and forestry) by leveraging computational predictive biology and chemistry. AgPlenus' activities focus on discovery and development of new mode of action, or MoA, crop protection products.

On February 21, 2024, AgPlenus announced a licensing and collaboration agreement with Bayer AG to develop a new sustainable weed control solution. The collaboration will tap into the potential of artificial intelligence to design and optimize crop protection chemistry, developing a novel sustainable MoA broad-spectrum herbicide for farmers.

Reverse Share Split

After market close on July 24, 2024, we effected a reverse share split of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, at a ratio of 1-for-10. As a result of the reverse share split, our shareholders were entitled to receive for every ten ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.02 per share, held by them, one ordinary share, par value NIS 0.20. Our ordinary shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-reverse split basis at the open of the market on July 25, 2024, and began trading on the TASE at the open of the market on July 28, 2024, in each case under our existing trading symbol "EVGN".

The reverse share split was approved by our shareholders at our 2024 annual meeting of shareholders held on June 13, 2024, to be effected at our board of directors' discretion within an approved range of ratios.

As a result of the implementation of the reverse share split, our registered share capital under our Articles, as currently in effect, which consists of NIS 3,000,000, was adjusted from being divided into 150,000,000 ordinary shares of NIS 0.02 par value each, to being divided into 15,000,000 ordinary shares of NIS 0.20 par value each. The reverse share split adjusted the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of our company from approximately 50,796,416 ordinary shares to 5,100,438 ordinary shares, after taking into consideration adjustments based on the treatment of fractional shares in the reverse share split.

The number of ordinary shares available for issuance under our equity incentive plans has been adjusted by the same 1-for-10 ratio. In addition, a proportionate, upwards adjustment to the per share exercise price, and a corresponding decrease to the number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise, was made to all outstanding options entitling the holders to purchase ordinary shares. Similarly, a proportionate downwards adjustment was made to the number of ordinary shares issuable upon settlement of our outstanding Restricted Share Units, or RSUs.

Unless otherwise indicated, all figures in this prospectus give retroactive effect to our 1-for-10 reverse share split.

Summary Risk Factors

Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. We face a number of risks associated with our business and industry and must overcome a variety of challenges to utilize our strengths and implement our business strategy. These risks include, among others:

• our history of operating losses and negative cash flow, and that we may never achieve or maintain profitability;
• our need for substantial additional capital in the future, which, if and when obtained, may cause dilution to existing shareholders and may be conditioned on terms that restrict our operations;
• dilution of our equity holdings in our subsidiary companies will likely negatively impact our results of operations;
• our discoveries and product candidates may not achieve the desired effect required in order to create commercially viable products;
• our research and development milestones and the commercialization of our product candidates may be delayed or not achieved;
• our reliance on a limited number of collaborators to develop and commercialize product candidates containing our seed trait, ag-chemical and ag-biological product candidates;
• competition in our industries is intense and requires continuous technological development;
• growing cycles and adverse weather conditions may decrease our results from operations;
• we may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights, upon which we are heavily dependent, throughout the world;
• third-party seed growers in Africa and Brazil may not deliver seeds on time to Casterra; and
• the ongoing war and other conditions in Israel, where most of our operations are conducted, may adversely affect our operations.

This is not a comprehensive list of risks to which we are subject, and you should carefully consider all the information in this prospectus in connection with your ownership of our ordinary shares. In particular, we urge you to carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 8, as well as the risks described under the heading "Item 3 Key Information - D. Risk Factors" in our 2023 annual report.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment in our securities, you should carefully consider all of the information included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including the risks described under the heading "Item 3. Key Information— D. Risk Factors" in our 2023 annual report, which we filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024, as updated by other reports and documents we file with, or furnish to, the SEC after the date of this prospectus and that are incorporated by reference herein. Please see the sections of this prospectus entitled "Where You Can Find Additional Information" and "Information Incorporated by Reference". If one or more of those risks is realized, that could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Relating to this Offering and to an Investment in our Ordinary Shares

We have issued 265,000 ordinary shares, and may issue up to an additional 1,427,308 ordinary shares underlying pre-funded warrants and 3,384,616 ordinary shares underlying ordinary warrants that we have sold in private and public financings that we completed during August 2024. Shareholders may experience significant dilution as a result of those financings and potential future financings that we may effect.

We have already sold large quantities of our ordinary shares and ordinary share equivalent securities pursuant to previous public and private offerings of our equity and equity-linked securities during August 2024, when we issued and sold 1,427,308 pre-funded warrants and 3,384,616 ordinary warrants, each of which may be exercised for ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time. We currently have an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (333-277565), for the sale of up to \$200,000,000 of our ordinary shares, warrants, rights and/or units, of which approximately \$5.6 million has been sold.

Purchasers of ordinary shares in this offering, as well as our existing shareholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell additional shares at prices significantly below the price at which they invested. In addition, we may issue additional ordinary shares or other equity securities exercisable for ordinary shares in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions of additional companies or assets, or under our equity incentive plans, in certain cases without shareholder approval. Our existing shareholders may experience significant dilution if we issue shares in the future at prices below the price at which previous shareholders invested.

Our issuance of additional ordinary shares or other ordinary share equivalents would have the following effects:

• our existing shareholders' proportionate ownership interest in us will decrease;
• the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding ordinary share may be diminished; and
• the market price of our ordinary shares may decline.

Investors may experience significant dilution as a result of this offering and future offerings.

The exercise of the Series A warrants and the Series B warrants and the issuance of up to 3,384,616 ordinary shares underlying such warrants could cause our existing shareholders to experience dilution.

The Selling Shareholder identified herein is selling from time to time up to 3,384,616 ordinary shares underlying the Series A warrants and the Series B warrants, which constitutes approximately 63.08% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares prior to the offering pursuant to this prospectus. Such sales could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline.

Purchasers of the ordinary shares, as well as our existing shareholders, will experience significant dilution if the Selling Shareholder identified herein sells shares at prices significantly below the price at which it invested. In addition, we may also offer additional ordinary shares in the future, which may result in additional significant dilution.

Future issuances or sales, or the potential for future issuances or sales, of our ordinary shares may cause the trading price of our ordinary shares to decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through subsequent equity offerings.

We have issued a significant number of ordinary shares and we may do so in the future. Shares to be issued in future equity offerings could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline and could have an adverse effect on our earnings per share if and when we become profitable. In addition, future sales of our ordinary shares or other securities in the public markets, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline, and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional securities.

The market price of our ordinary shares could decline due to sales, or the announcements of proposed sales, of a large number of ordinary shares in the market, including sales of ordinary shares by our large shareholders, or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales or the perception that these sales could occur could also depress the market price of our ordinary shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities or make it more difficult or impossible for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of ordinary shares or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our ordinary shares.

Our Articles authorize our Board of Directors to, among other things, issue additional ordinary shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into ordinary shares, without shareholder approval. We may issue such additional ordinary shares or convertible securities to raise additional capital. The issuance of any additional ordinary shares or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to our shareholders. Moreover, to the extent that we issue restricted share units, stock appreciation rights, options or warrants to purchase our ordinary shares in the future and those stock appreciation rights, options or warrants are exercised, or as the restricted share units settle, our shareholders may experience further dilution. Holders of our ordinary shares have no preemptive rights that entitle such holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares or equivalent securities and, therefore, such sales or offerings could result in increased dilution to our shareholders.

An active trading market for our ordinary shares may not be sustained.

Although our ordinary shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and TASE, the market for our ordinary shares has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity. Furthermore, the current level of trading may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market for our ordinary shares may impair investors' ability to sell their shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair market value of their shares and may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to utilize our shares as consideration in any licensing or other collaboration transactions with third parties.

Our share price may be subject to substantial volatility, and shareholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment.

Our ordinary shares currently trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market and TASE. There is limited public float, and trading volume historically has been low and sporadic. As a result, the market price for our ordinary shares may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of our fair market value. The price at which our ordinary shares trades may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of shares available for sale in the market, quarterly variations in our operating results, actual or anticipated announcements of new releases by us or competitors, the gain or loss of sources of revenues, changes in the estimates of our operating performance, market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole.

Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, only appreciation of the price of our ordinary shares will provide a return to our shareholders.

Resales of our ordinary shares in the public market during this offering by our shareholders may cause the market price of our ordinary shares to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares could occur at any time. The issuance of new ordinary shares could result in resales of our ordinary shares by our current shareholders concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. In turn, these resales could have the effect of depressing the market price for our ordinary shares.

Nasdaq may delist our ordinary shares from its exchange which could limit your ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We are required to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, including those regarding minimum share price. In particular, we are required to maintain a minimum bid price for our listed ordinary shares of \$1.00 per share. On October 31, 2022, we received a written notification from Nasdaq, which stated that because the closing bid price of our ordinary shares for 31 consecutive business days was below the minimum \$1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, or until May 1, 2023.

On May 2, 2023, Nasdaq notified us that our transfer from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market was approved, and that we were eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until October 30, 2023, to regain compliance with the bid price rules. Effective at the opening of business on May 4, 2023, our ordinary shares were transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market. On July 17, 2023, we announced that Nasdaq confirmed that it regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) concerning the minimum bid price of our ordinary shares.

On September 18, 2023, we received another written notification from Nasdaq, which stated that because the closing bid price of our ordinary shares for 30 consecutive business days was below the minimum \$1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had a grace period of 180 days to regain compliance until March 18, 2024. On March 20, 2024, we announced that we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC pursuant to which Nasdaq granted us an extension until September 16, 2024, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

On July 24, 2024, we effectuated a 1-for-10 reverse share split in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). As a result, we were informed by Nasdaq on August 8, 2024 that we had regained compliance.

A future decline in the closing price of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq could result in suspension or delisting procedures in respect of our ordinary shares. The commencement of suspension or delisting procedures by an exchange remains, at all times, at the discretion of such exchange and would be publicly announced by the exchange. If a suspension or delisting were to occur, there would be significantly less liquidity in the suspended or delisted securities. In addition, our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing would be greatly impaired. Furthermore, with respect to any suspended or delisted ordinary shares, we would expect decreases in institutional and other investor demand, analyst coverage, market making activity and information available concerning trading prices and volume, and fewer broker-dealers would be willing to execute trades with respect to such ordinary shares. A suspension or delisting would likely decrease the attractiveness of our ordinary shares to investors and cause the trading volume of our ordinary shares to decline, which could result in a further decline in the market price of our ordinary shares.

Finally, if the volatility in the broader capital markets increases, that could have an adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our operating performance.

Additional Risks Relating to our Business

Casterra, our subsidiary, has experienced delays in supplying certain of its orders, which may reduce our previously anticipated revenues from Casterra.

Our subsidiary, Casterra, which develops elite castor seed varieties for bio-based industrial applications, relies on third-party seed growers in Africa and Brazil to provide it with a sufficient supply to fulfill its customers' orders. In 2024, Casterra's castor growing and harvesting season in Brazil has been successfully completed, and its castor harvesting season in Africa, which is expected to supply the majority of seeds for 2024, has started as planned. However, certain of Casterra's customers' orders have already (even before the start of the 2024 growing season) been delayed in being filled, such that even once the expected deliveries are completed, they will be late relative to the delivery date agreed upon with Casterra's customers. Such delays could result in reduced payments or cancellations by Casterra's customers, which may reduce Casterra's revenues relative to the level that had been expected based on all outstanding orders.

Because Casterra relies on third-party growers for all of its seed supply for customers' orders, it has limited ability to control the timely supply of those orders and to prevent future delays in filling those orders. Any further future delays could cause loss of further potential revenues and business for Casterra, and could furthermore adversely impact its reputation and goodwill with customers and others in its industry.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Matters discussed in this prospectus may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forwardlooking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.

We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This prospectus and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and/or management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from what is expressed in or suggested by the forwardlooking statements. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus should be read together with the risks described in reports or other documents we file with or furnish to the SEC, including the 2023 annual report and "Risk Factors" above.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares by the Selling Shareholder. We will, however, receive up to an aggregate of approximately \$12.02 million in cash from the exercise of the ordinary warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all the warrants, which we intend to use for research and development, working capital, investments in our subsidiaries, sales and marketing activities and for general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net of proceeds from the exercise of any warrants by the Selling Shareholder to acquire or invest in technologies, products and/or businesses that we believe are complementary to ours.

The Selling Shareholder will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of any ordinary shares offered by it under this prospectus. See "Selling Shareholder". The Selling Shareholder will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholder for brokerage, accounting, tax, legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholder in disposing of these ordinary shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the sale of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of June 30, 2024:

• on an actual basis;
• on a pro forma basis to give effect to the issuance and sale of 265,000 ordinary shares and 1,427,308 pre-funded warrants, at the offering price of \$3.25 per ordinary share and \$3.2499 per pre-funded warrant (and assuming no exercise of the pre-funded warrants), after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, in the registered direct offering that was completed on August 26, 2024. Pursuant to the accounting treatment for a compound financial instrument, the pre-funded warrants, the Series A warrants and Series B warrants, are classified as liabilities. The amounts presented in the following table are based on the preliminary calculation using the Black Scholes model and may be subject to certain revaluation; and

SELLING SHAREHOLDER

This prospectus relates to the sale of up to 3,384,616 ordinary shares that the Selling Shareholder may sell in one or more offerings upon exercise of some or all of the Series A warrants and Series B warrants that the Selling Shareholder purchased from us in a private placement under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The table below sets forth information about the maximum number of ordinary shares that may be offered from time to time by the Selling Shareholder under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholder identified below may currently hold or acquire ordinary shares in addition to those registered hereby. In addition, the Selling Shareholder identified below may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of some or all of its ordinary shares registered hereunder in private placement transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

To our knowledge, the Selling Shareholder does not have, and has not had within the past three years, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, other than its ownership of our ordinary shares, ordinary warrants and pre-funded warrants. In addition, to our knowledge, the Selling Shareholder is not an affiliate of a broker-dealer and there are no participating broker-dealers. To the extent a selling shareholder would be an affiliate of a broker-dealer, or if there would be any participating broker-dealer, such selling shareholder and/or participating broker-dealer would be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts given to any such selling shareholder or broker-dealer could be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

Prior to the closing of any of the sales of securities to the Selling Shareholder under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company had 5,100,438 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. On August 26, 2024, we closed the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement between us and the Selling Shareholder, which consisted of two separate, concurrent transactions— (i) a registered direct offering and (ii) a private placement.

Pursuant to the registered direct offering, we issued and sold to the Selling Shareholder 265,000 ordinary shares, together with 1,427,308 pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,427,308 ordinary shares. That registered direct offering was registered under a separate prospectus supplement constituting a part of the prospectus in our registration statement on Form F-3, SEC file number 333-277565, and is not covered by this prospectus.

In a concurrent private placement effected pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold 3,384,616 ordinary warrants to the Selling Shareholder, consisting of 1,692,308 Series A warrants and 1,692,308 Series B warrants, each of which is exercisable for one ordinary share.

In the aggregate, the registered direct offering and private placement transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement resulted in our issuance of 5,076,924 ordinary shares and/or ordinary share equivalents, which constituted approximately 99.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company prior to the transactions.

We have prepared the following table based on information supplied to us by the Selling Shareholder on or prior to September 18, 2024.

		Total Number of Ordinary Shares

(1) Included as ordinary shares "owned" for purposes of this column are the 1,427,308 ordinary shares underlying pre-funded warrants held by the Selling Shareholder, but not the 3,384,616 ordinary shares underlying ordinary warrants held by the Selling Shareholder (the latter of which are instead reflected in the next column — "Total Number of Ordinary Shares Underlying the Ordinary Warrants Owned Prior to This Offering").

• (2) Percentage ownership is based on 5,365,438 outstanding ordinary shares as of the date of this prospectus, while also including as outstanding for purposes of calculating such percentage, an additional (i) 1,427,308 ordinary shares underlying the pre-funded warrants held by the Selling Shareholder, which are currently exercisable, and (ii) 3,384,616 ordinary shares underlying the ordinary warrants held by the Selling Shareholder, which are also currently exercisable. In actuality, under the terms of each of the foregoing pre-funded warrants and ordinary warrants, the Selling Shareholder may not hold more than 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company at any given time.
• (3) The percentage of outstanding ordinary shares which may be sold in this offering considers, as outstanding ordinary shares, (i) the 3,384,616 ordinary shares underlying the ordinary warrants that may be sold in this offering, as well as (ii) the 1,427,308 ordinary shares underlying the pre-funded warrants held by the Selling Shareholder, which are currently exercisable.
• (4) Assumes that the Selling Shareholder will sell all of the 3,384,616 ordinary shares underlying ordinary warrants that are being offered pursuant to this prospectus, but has not and will not sell any of the (a) 230,692 ordinary shares (that are still held by the Selling Shareholder out of 265,000 originally purchased) or (b) 1,427,308 ordinary shares underlying pre-funded warrants that were purchased by the Selling Shareholder in the registered direct offering pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and which are deemed to be outstanding ordinary shares for purposes of this table. In actuality, under the terms of the pre-funded warrants, the Selling Shareholder may not hold more than 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company at any given time.
• (5) The ordinary shares of the Company appearing in this row (including ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants and ordinary warrants) are directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Master Fund"), and may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by: (i) Armistice Capital, LLC ("Armistice Capital"), as the investment manager of the Master Fund; and (ii) Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice Capital. Each of Armistice Capital and Mr. Boyd disclaims beneficial ownership of the subject ordinary shares except to the extent of its or his (as applicable) respective pecuniary interests therein.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the sale of the 3,384,616 ordinary shares (underlying the ordinary warrants) offered under this prospectus on behalf of the Selling Shareholder. The Selling Shareholder, which, as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest selling those ordinary shares or interests in those ordinary shares received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Shareholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution, or other non-sale related transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the subject ordinary shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the ordinary shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Shareholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the subject ordinary shares owned by such shareholder and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the subject ordinary shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of the Selling Shareholder(s) to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successors in interest as a Selling Shareholder under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of its shares pursuant to this prospectus:

• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
• block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
• privately negotiated transactions;
• short sales effected after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part;
• through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
• broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
• a combination of any such methods of sale; and
• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In connection with the sale of ordinary shares or interests therein, the Selling Shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the ordinary shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholder may also sell ordinary shares short and deliver these securities to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the ordinary shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as amended to reflect such transaction).

If the ordinary shares are sold through broker dealers, the Selling Shareholder will be responsible for discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Shareholder from the sale of the ordinary shares offered by it will be the purchase price of the ordinary shares less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Shareholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of ordinary shares to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering (although we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the ordinary warrants under which the ordinary shares being sold in this offering will be issued).

The Selling Shareholder also may resell all or a portion of the ordinary shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of that rule.

The Selling Shareholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents that participate in the sale of our ordinary shares or interests therein may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions, or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the Selling Shareholder is deemed an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be amended from time to time) available to the Selling Shareholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the ordinary shares to be sold, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers, or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth, if appropriate, in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus or, to the extent permissible, in a supplement to this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the ordinary shares to be sold under this prospectus may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the ordinary shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

The Selling Shareholder and any other person participating in a distribution of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus will be subject to the 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 any of the ordinary shares by the Selling Shareholder and any other such person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the ordinary shares under this prospectus to engage in market-making activities with respect to the ordinary shares.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

You should carefully review the description of our share capital under the heading "Item 10. Additional Information— B. Memorandum and Articles of Association" in, and in Exhibit 2.1 to, our 2023 annual report, which report is incorporated by reference herein. We have provided the following summary of our share capital, as supplemented to reflect updates since the filing of the 2023 annual report:

Reverse Share Split

On July 24, 2024, we effected a reverse share split of our ordinary shares at the ratio of 1-for-10, such that each ten (10) ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.02 per share, were consolidated into one (1) ordinary share, par value NIS 0.2 per share.

Following the implementation of the reverse split, our authorized share capital is comprised of 15,000,000 ordinary shares, of which, as of the date of this prospectus, 5,365,438 ordinary shares are issued and outstanding.

The number of ordinary shares available for issuance under our equity incentive plans was adjusted by the same 1-for-10 ratio. In addition, a proportionate, upwards adjustment to the per share exercise price, and a corresponding decrease to the number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise, was made to all outstanding options entitling the holders to purchase ordinary shares. A proportionate downwards adjustment was made to the number of ordinary shares issuable upon settlement of outstanding Restricted Share Units, or RSUs.

Unless otherwise indicated, all share amounts in this prospectus, not including amounts incorporated by reference, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect that reverse share split.

Registration Number and Purposes of the Company

Our registration number with the Israeli Registrar of Companies is 51-283872-3. Our purpose as set forth in our Articles is to engage in any lawful business.

Voting Rights

Holders of our ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders at a shareholder meeting. Shareholders may vote at shareholder meetings either in person, by proxy or by written ballot. Israeli law does not allow public companies to adopt shareholder resolutions by means of written consent in lieu of a shareholder meeting. Shareholder voting rights may be affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, an amendment to our Articles to change the rights of our shareholders requires the prior approval of a simple majority of our shares represented and voting at a general meeting and, to the extent applicable, of the holders of a class of shares whose rights are being affected.

Share Ownership Restrictions

The ownership or voting of ordinary shares by non-residents of Israel is not restricted in any way by our Articles, or the laws of the State of Israel, except that citizens of countries that are in a state of war with Israel may not be recognized as owners of ordinary shares.

Transfer of Shares

Fully paid ordinary shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred under our Articles unless the transfer is restricted or prohibited by another instrument, Israeli law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the shares are traded.

Election of Directors

Our ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. Rather, under our Articles, our directors, other than external directors (to the extent required to be elected), are elected at each annual general meeting of the shareholders, upon expiration of the term of office, by the holders of a simple majority of our ordinary shares present in person or by proxy at such meeting (excluding abstentions). As a result, the holders of our ordinary shares that represent more than 50% of the voting power represented at a shareholder meeting and voting thereon (excluding abstentions) have the power to elect any or all of our directors. Vacancies on our board of directors, resulting from a resignation or other termination of service by a then serving director, or an additional authorized seat on our board of directors, may be filled by a vote of a simple majority of the directors then in office.

Under Israeli law, we may declare and pay a dividend only if, upon the reasonable determination of our board of directors, the distribution will not prevent us from being able to meet the terms of our existing and contingent obligations as they become due. Under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999, or the Companies Law, the distribution amount is further limited to the greater of retained earnings or earnings generated over the two most recent years according to our then last reviewed or audited financial statements, provided that the date of the financial statements is not more than six months prior to the date of distribution. In the event that we do not have retained earnings and earnings legally available for distribution, as defined in the Companies Law, we may seek the approval of the court in order to distribute a dividend. The court may approve our request if it is convinced that there is no reasonable concern that the payment of a dividend will prevent us from satisfying our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due.

In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares on a pro-rata basis. Dividend and liquidation rights may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.

Shareholder Meetings

Under the Companies Law, we are required to convene an annual general meeting of our shareholders once every calendar year, not more than 15 months following the preceding annual general meeting. Our board of directors may convene a special general meeting of our shareholders and is required to do so at the request of two directors or one quarter of the members of our board of directors, or at the request of one or more holders of 10% or more of our share capital and 1% of our voting power, or the holder or holders of 10% or more of our voting power. All shareholder meetings require prior notice of at least 21 days and, in certain cases, 35 days. The chairperson of our board of directors or another one of our directors authorized by our board of directors presides over our general meetings. If either of such persons is not present within 15 minutes from the appointed time for the commencement of the meeting, the directors present at such meeting shall appoint one of our directors as the chairperson for such meeting, and if they fail to do so, then the shareholders present shall appoint one of our directors to act as chairperson, and if no director is present, then one of the shareholders present at such meeting shall act as chairperson. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, only shareholders of record on a date decided upon by the board of directors, which may be between four and 60 days prior to the date of the meeting (depending on the type of meeting and whether written proxies are being used) are entitled to participate and vote at a general meeting of shareholders.

Quorum

Under our Articles, the quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present in person, by proxy or by written ballot, who hold or represent between them at least 25% of our voting power. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum generally is adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place (without requirement of additional notification to the shareholders), or to a later time, if indicated in the notice to the meeting or to such other time and place as determined by the board of directors in a notice to our shareholders. At the reconvened meeting, if a quorum is not present within half an hour from the appointed time for the commencement of the meeting, the meeting will take place so long as at least one shareholder is present (regardless of the voting power held or represented by any such shareholder(s)), unless the meeting was called pursuant to a request by our shareholders, in which case the quorum required is the number of shareholders required to call the meeting as described under "—Shareholder Meetings" above.

Resolutions

Under the Companies Law, unless otherwise provided in the Articles or applicable law, all resolutions of the shareholders require a simple majority of the voting rights represented at the meeting, in person, by proxy or by written ballot, and voting on the resolution (excluding abstentions).

Access to Corporate Records

Under the Companies Law, all shareholders generally have the right to review minutes of our general meetings, our shareholder register, including with respect to material shareholders, our Articles our financial statements and any document we are required by law to file publicly with the Israeli Companies Registrar or the Israeli Securities Authority. Any shareholder who specifies the purpose of its request may request to review any document in our possession that relates to any action or transaction with a related party which requires shareholder approval under the Companies Law. We may deny a request to review a document if we determine that the request was not made in good faith, that the document contains a trade secret or patent or that the document's disclosure may otherwise impair our interests.

Modification of Class Rights

The rights attached to any class of share (to the extent that we may have separate classes of shares in the future), such as voting, liquidation and dividend rights, may be amended by adoption of a resolution by the holders of a majority of our shares represented at the meeting and the holders of a majority of the shares of that class present at a separate class meeting, or otherwise in accordance with the rights attached to such class of shares, as set forth in our articles.

Acquisitions under Israeli Law

Full Tender Offer

A person wishing to acquire shares or a class of shares of an Israeli public company such as ours and who would, as a result, own more than 90% of the target company's issued and outstanding share capital or of a certain class of its shares, is required by the Companies Law to make a full tender offer (as defined in the Companies Law) to all of the company's shareholders for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the company or class of shares. If either (i) the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold, in the aggregate, less than 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class, and more than half of the shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the offer accept the offer, or (ii) the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than 2% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class, then all of the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer by operation of law. However, a shareholder that had its shares so transferred, whether or not it accepted the tender offer (unless otherwise provided in the offering memorandum for the tender offer), may, within six months from the date of acceptance of the tender offer, petition the court based on a claim that the tender offer was for less than fair value and that the fair value should be paid as determined by the court. If both of the foregoing conditions (i) and (ii) are not satisfied, the acquirer may not acquire shares of the company that will increase its holdings to more than 90% of the company's issued and outstanding share capital or of the applicable class from shareholders who accepted the full tender offer. Shares purchased not in accordance with those provisions shall become "dormant shares" and shall not grant the purchaser any rights so long as they are held by the purchaser.

Special Tender Offer

Under the Companies Law, an acquisition pursuant to which a purchaser shall hold (i) a "controlling stake", which is defined as 25% or more of the voting rights (assuming that no other shareholder holds a controlling stake), or (ii) more than 45% of the voting rights (assuming that no other shareholder owns more than 45% of the voting rights), of a public company such as ours may not be performed by way of market accumulation, but only by way of a special tender offer (as defined in the Companies Law) made to all of the company's shareholders on a pro rata basis. A special tender offer may not be consummated unless a majority of the shareholders who have submitted their response to the offer have approved it. In counting the total votes of responding shareholders, shares held by the controlling shareholders, shareholders who have a conflict of interest with respect to the offer (referred to under the Companies Law as a "personal interest"), shareholders who own 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, relatives or representatives of any of the above, and the bidder, and corporations under their respective control, shall not be taken into account. A shareholder may object to such a tender offer without such objection being deemed as a waiver of his, her or its right to sell shares to the bidder if the offer is approved by a majority of the company's shareholders despite the subject shareholder's objection. Shares purchased by the bidder in violation of the foregoing rules shall become "dormant shares" and shall not grant the bidder any rights so long as they are held by the bidder. If a special tender offer is accepted, then the purchaser or any person or entity controlling it or under common control with the purchaser or such controlling person or entity may not make a subsequent tender offer for the purchase of shares of the target company and may not enter into a merger with the target company for a period of one year from the date of the initial tender offer, unless the purchaser or such person or entity undertook to effect such an offer or merger in the initial special tender offer.

Under regulations enacted pursuant to the Companies Law, the above special tender offer requirements do not apply to companies whose shares are listed for trading on a foreign stock exchange if, among other things, the relevant foreign laws or the rules of the stock exchange include provisions limiting the percentage of control which may be acquired or requiring that the acquisition of such percentage of control requires making a tender offer to the public. However, we believe that the Israeli Securities Authority's current opinion is that such leniency does not apply with respect to companies such as ours whose shares are listed for trading on stock exchanges in the United States, including Nasdaq.

Merger

The Companies Law requires that a merger transaction must be approved by (i) each party's board of directors, and, unless certain requirements described under the Companies Law are met, (ii) a majority of each party's shares (including, if relevant, a majority of each class of shares of each party) voted on the proposed merger at a shareholders meeting called with at least 35 days' prior notice.

For purposes of the shareholder vote, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger requires approval by a majority of the shares represented at the shareholders meeting that are held by parties other than the other party to the merger, or by any person who holds 25% or more of the outstanding shares or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of the other party. If the merger would have been approved if not for (a) the required separate approval of each class of shares of the merging party (if relevant), or (b) the exclusion of the votes of certain shareholders, as provided above, a court may still approve the merger upon the request of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of the merging party, if the court holds that the merger is fair and reasonable, taking into account the value of the parties to the merger and the consideration offered to the shareholders.

Upon the request of a creditor of either party to the proposed merger, the court may delay or prevent the merger if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that, as a result of the merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of any of the parties to the merger, and may further give instructions to secure the rights of creditors.

In addition, a merger may not be completed unless at least 50 days have passed from the date that a proposal for approval of the merger was filed by each party with the Israeli Registrar of Companies and 30 days have passed from the date the merger was approved by the shareholders of each party.

Antitakeover Measures under Israeli Law

The Companies Law allows us to create and issue shares having rights different from those accompanying our ordinary shares, including shares providing certain preferred rights, distributions or other rights, including preemptive rights. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any authorized or issued shares other than our ordinary shares. In the future, if we do create and issue a class of shares other than ordinary shares, the holders of such class of shares, depending on the specific rights to which they may be entitled, may delay or prevent a takeover or otherwise prevent our shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their ordinary shares. The authorization of a new class of shares would require the amendment of our articles, which requires the prior approval of the holders of a majority of our shares present and voting at a general meeting. However, the TASE rules and regulations prohibit a listed company from having more than one class of shares listed, and the TASE's current position is that a listed company may not issue or list preferred shares. Therefore, assuming that the TASE's current position does not change, as long as our ordinary shares are listed on the TASE, we will be prohibited from issuing preferred shares.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon certain of our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in this prospectus whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because a significant portion of our assets and substantially all 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 be difficult to collect within the United States.

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 a violation of U.S. securities laws based on the reasoning that Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.

Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a United States 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:

• the judgments are obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel;

• the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgments were rendered allows the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (however, the Israeli courts may waive this requirement following a request by the attorney general);
• adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence;
• the judgments are not contrary to public policy, and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgments does not impair the security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
• the judgments were not obtained by fraud and do not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;
• an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court; and
• the obligations under the judgment are enforceable according to the laws of the State of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted.

We have irrevocably appointed Puglisi & Associates as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any United States federal or state court arising out of any offering, or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with any offering, under this prospectus.

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. Under existing Israeli law, a foreign judgment payable in foreign currency may be paid in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the payment. Current Israeli exchange control regulations also permit a judgment debt or to 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.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

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 include such a provision.

Under the Companies Law, a company may indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, pursuant to an undertaking made either in advance of an event or following an event, provided its articles of association include a provision authorizing such indemnification (ours contain such a provision):

• a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitrator's award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the company's activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount or according to criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and such undertaking shall detail the above-mentioned foreseen events and amount or criteria;
• reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the office holder: (i) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (A) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (B) no financial liability, such as a criminal penalty, was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding, or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; and (ii) in connection with a monetary sanction; and
• reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent.

Under the Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law 5728-1968, or the Israeli Securities Law, a company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder if and to the extent provided in the company's articles of association:

• a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company;
• a breach of duty of care to the company or to a third party, to the extent such a breach arises out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; and
• a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party.

Under our articles of association, we may insure and indemnify an office holder against the aforementioned liabilities as well as the following liabilities:

• any breach of duty of care to us or to a third party;
• any other action which is permitted by law to insure an office holder against;

• any expenses incurred and/or paid by the office holder in connection with an administrative enforcement procedure under any applicable law, including the Efficiency of Enforcement Procedures in the Securities Authority Law (legislation amendments), 5771-2011, and the Israeli Securities Law, which we refer to as an Administrative Enforcement Procedure, and including reasonable litigation expenses and attorney fees; and
• any financial liability in favor of a victim of a felony pursuant to Section 52ND of the Israeli Securities Law.

Under the Companies Law, a company may not indemnify, exculpate or insure an office holder against any of the following:

• a breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification and insurance for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company;
• a breach of duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising solely out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
• an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or
• a civil or administrative fine or forfeit levied against the office holder.

Our articles of association permit us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted or to be permitted by the Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law.

Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance for office holders in a public company must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors, and, with respect to certain office holders or under certain circumstances, also by the shareholders. We have obtained the foregoing approvals with respect to our office holders, and have entered into agreements with each of our office holders exculpating them to the fullest extent permitted by law and by our articles of association, and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law and our articles of association. This indemnification is limited to events determined as foreseeable by the board of directors based on our activities, and to an amount or according to criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances.

The maximum indemnification amount set forth in such agreements is limited to an amount equal to 25% of our shareholders' equity as reflected in our most recent consolidated financial statements prior to the date on which the indemnity payment is made. If the amount equal to 25% of our shareholders' equity is insufficient to cover all indemnity amounts payable with respect to all indemnifiable directors and executive officers, such amount will be allocated among our directors and executive officers pro rata, in accordance with their relative culpabilities, as finally determined by a court with respect to a particular claim. The maximum amount set forth in such agreements is in addition to any amount paid (if paid) under insurance and/or by a third party pursuant to an indemnification arrangement. In the opinion of the SEC, indemnification of directors and office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, however, is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

We have obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance for the benefit of our office holders and intend to continue to maintain such coverage and pay all premiums thereunder to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law.

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

Private Placement

In the private placement that we completed on August 26, 2024, we sold to Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. unregistered Series A warrants to purchase up to 1,692,308 ordinary shares and unregistered Series B warrants to purchase up to 1,692,308 ordinary shares. Each Series A warrant to purchase one ordinary share and Series B warrant to purchase one ordinary share were sold in the private placement together with one ordinary share (or pre-funded warrant to purchase one ordinary share) that was sold in a registered direct offering, at a combined purchase price of \$3.25.

The Series A warrants have an exercise price of \$3.55 per share, were immediately exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from issuance. The Series B warrants have an exercise price of \$3.55 per share, were immediately exercisable upon issuance and will expire eighteen months from issuance.

The total gross proceeds to Evogene from the private placement, together with the registered direct offering, were \$5.5 million.

As part of the private placement and registered direct offering, we also entered into a letter agreement, or the Placement Agency Agreement, with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, as sole placement agent, or the Placement Agent, dated August 23, 2024, pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the placement agent for our company in connection with those transactions. We paid the Placement Agent a cash placement fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the securities in those transactions.

The Series A warrants and the Series B warrants issued in the private placement and the ordinary shares underlying the Series A warrants and Series B warrants were offered in the private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and the transaction was not registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.

Item 9. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

• (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
  • (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
    • (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
    • (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
• (2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
• (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
• (4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.
• (5) 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:
  • (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
  • (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
  • (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
  • (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
• (8) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Each Share confers the right to receive invitations to, attend and vote at all general meetings. Each Shareholder, on casting a vote, will have such number of votes as corresponds to the number of Shares that it holds. All Shares have equal rights in relation to the amounts of capital that have been paid or have been credited as paid-up on the nominal value thereof in all matters relating to dividend, the distribution of bonus Shares and other distribution, a return of capital and participation in a distribution of surplus assets of the Company upon winding-up of the Company.
• 7.2. The provisions of these Articles with respect to Shares will similarly apply to other Securities that will be issued by the Company, mutatis mutandis.

8. ISSUE OF SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES

The Company may issue redeemable Securities with such rights and subject to such conditions as will be determined by the Board.

8.3. Commissions

The Company may pay to any person a commission (including underwriting fees) in consideration of the underwriting, marketing or distribution of the Company's Securities, unconditionally or on such conditions as will be determined by the Board. The payments mentioned in this Article may be paid in cash or Securities of the Company, or partly by one method and partly in the other, all in the Company's discretion.

• 8.4. The Board may apply different arrangements among the holders of Securities of the Company in relation to the terms of allotment of the Company's Securities and the rights attaching to those Securities, and may vary such conditions, including waiving any part thereof. The Board may further issue to the holders of Securities, calls in respect of monies that have yet to be paid as consideration for the Securities that they hold.
• 8.5. Any payment on account of a Share will be first credited to the nominal value and only thereafter on account of the premium in respect of any Share, unless otherwise prescribed by the terms of thereof.
• 8.6. No Shareholder shall be entitled to exercise any right of a Shareholder nor will such Shareholder be entitled to any dividend prior to having paid all sums outstanding pursuant to the terms of issuance together with interest, linkage differentials and expenses, if any, unless otherwise prescribed by the terms of issuance.
• 8.7. The Board may forfeit and sell, re-allot or otherwise dispose of any security for which the total consideration has not been paid, as it determines in its discretion, including without any consideration.
• 8.8. The forfeiture of a security shall lead to the cancellation of any right or claim or demand in or against the Company in relation to such security, save for such rights and obligations as are excepted by these Articles or which by Law are granted to or imposed upon a former holder of Securities.

9. REGISTER OF SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY AND ISSUANCE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES

• 9.1. The secretary of the Company or the person who has been appointed for that purpose by the Board will be responsible for managing the Register of Shareholders. Every Shareholder shall be entitled to receive from the Company one Share certificate, or a number of certificates, as decided by the Company, without charge, within two months of the allotment or registration of the transfer (or within such other shorter period as will be otherwise prescribed by the terms of issuance) in respect of all the Shares of a certain class that are registered in his name and such certificate will specify the number and class of the Shares (if any) and such other information as will, in the discretion of the Directors, be significant. In the case of a Share jointly held, the Company will not be bound to issue more than one certificate to all the joint holders and delivery of such certificate to one of the joint holders will be deemed to be delivery to all such joint holders.
• 9.2. The Board may close the Register of Shareholders up to an aggregate period of 30 days in any year.
• 9.3. Shares shall be represented by Share certificates unless the Directors adopt a resolution permitting Shares to be uncertificated. Share certificates will be issued under the seal or stamp of the Company or in its printed name, and under the hand of a single Director and the secretary of the Company or of two Directors, or of such other person as the Directors shall have appointed for such purpose.
• 9.4. The Company may issue a new certificate in lieu of an issued certificate that has been lost or defaced or become worn, against such evidence and indemnity as the Company will require and after payment of such sum as will be determined by the Directors, and the Company may replace existing certificates with new ones without payment, subject to the terms prescribed by the Directors.
• 9.5. Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a Share, a written notification of the payment of a dividend or other payments in respect of the said Share which is sent to one of them will be binding upon the other holder of the Share.
• 9.6. The Company may recognize a trustee as holder of a Share and issue a Share certificate in the trustee's name, provided the trustee has given notice of the identity of the beneficiary under the trust. The Company shall not be bound or required to recognize any claim based on any equitable or contingent right or a future right or partial right to a Share or to any other right whatsoever in respect of any such Share, other than the absolute right of the registered Shareholder of each Share unless on the basis of a judicial order or pursuant to the requirements of any Law.

10. TRANSFER OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY

• 10.1. Shares of the Company are transferable.

12. CHARGE OVER SHARES

• 12.1. The Company shall have a first charge and right of lien on all Shares that are not fully paid up and on the proceeds of sale thereof whether or not they have matured for payment, which payments have been called or which shall become payable on the date determined for such Share. The Company shall have a lien on all the Shares (other than fully paid up Shares) registered in the name of a Shareholder as security for the monies due from him, or his assets, whether solely or jointly with others. Such lien shall also apply to dividends paid from time to time in respect of these Shares.
• 12.2. The Board is entitled, in order to exercise any such charge or lien, to sell the Shares or any of them that are subject to the lien in any manner it may deem fit, but no sale shall be made until after a notice in writing has been delivered to the Shareholder concerning the Company's intention to sell the Shares, in default of payment of such sum, fourteen days from the date of the notice. The net proceeds of any such sale, after payment of costs of the sale, shall be used to pay the debts or the liabilities of the Shareholder and the remainder (if any) shall be paid to him.
• 12.3. If a sale of Shares is made after forfeiture or in order to enforce a charge or lien by the apparent exercise of the powers conferred above, the Board is entitled to register them in the register in the name of the purchaser, and the purchaser shall not be obliged to examine the regularity of the proceedings or the manner in which the proceeds of the sale have been applied. After they have been entered in the register in his name, no person shall challenge the validity of the sale.

13. ALTERATION TO SHARE CAPITAL

The general meeting of Shareholders may, at any time, resolve to effect any of the following, provided that such a resolution of the general meeting will be adopted by Simple Majority:

13.1. Increase of capital:

To increase its registered share capital whether or not all the Shares registered at that time were issued or not. The increased capital shall be divided into Shares having ordinary, preferred or deferred rights or with any other special rights (subject to any special rights of any existing class of Shares) or subject to terms and restrictions in respect of dividend, repayment of capital, voting or other terms as the general meeting shall provide in its resolution regarding the increase of the registered capital.

13.2. Alteration of rights:

At any time at which the share capital is divided into different classes, by resolution passed by a meeting of the Shareholders by a Simple Majority (unless otherwise prescribed in the terms of issuance of the Shares of that class), vary the rights of a class of the Company's Shares after receiving the consent in writing of all of the holders of the Shares of that class, or with the approval of a resolution duly passed at a general meeting of the holders of that class of Shares, by Simple Majority or in the event of it being stipulated otherwise by the terms of issuance of the particular class of the Shares of the Company as stipulated by the terms of issuance of that class of Shares.

The rights conferred on the holders of the Shares or the holders of a class of Shares that have been issued with either ordinary or preferential rights or other special rights shall not be deemed, by the creation or issue of other Shares having identical rights, or a change in the rights of existing Shares, to have changed unless otherwise provided in the terms of issuance of those Shares.

13.3. Consolidation:

To consolidate and re-divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger denomination than those specified in these Articles. In the event that as a result of such consolidation, the holders of Shares whose Shares have been consolidated are left with fractions, the Board may, with the sanction of the general meeting in the resolution deciding on such consolidation, take such action as is determined by the Board to be appropriate to settle such fraction and such determination shall be final and binding on all holders of Company's Shares. Among other actions, the Board of Directors may take the following:

• 13.3.1. Sell all the fractions and for such purpose appoint a trustee in whose name the certificates comprising the fractions will be issued and who will sell the same and apply the proceeds received, less commissions and expenses, among those entitled. The Board may decide that Shareholders entitled to proceeds that are in a sum that is less than that prescribed, will not receive the proceeds of such fractions and their portion of the proceeds will be divided among the Shareholders entitled to the proceeds that exceed the amount prescribed in proportion to the proceeds to which they are entitled;
• 13.3.2. Allot to each Shareholder who, as a result of such consolidation and re-distribution, is left with fractional Shares, fully paid-up Shares of the class existing prior to the consolidation in such number as will, when consolidated with the fraction, be sufficient for a single complete consolidated Share and such allotment will be deemed to have taken effect immediately prior to the consolidation;
• 13.3.3. Determine that Shareholders will not be entitled to receive consolidated Shares in respect of fractional consolidated Shares resulting from the consolidation of one half or less of the number of Shares whose consolidation creates a single consolidated Share, but will be entitled to receive a consolidated Share in respect of a consolidated fractional Share resulting from the consolidation of more than one half of the number of the Shares whose consolidation creates a single consolidated Share.

In the event of any of the actions specified in sub Articles 13.3.2 or 13.3.3 above, necessitating the issuance of additional Shares, the payment thereof will be effected in the manner in which bonus Shares are paid. Such consolidation and distribution will not be deemed to be an alteration of the rights of the Shares to which the consolidation and distribution relate.

13.4. Cancellation of unissued Share capital:

To cancel registered Share capital that has yet to be allotted, provided that no undertaking of the Company exists to allot such Shares.

13.5. Split of Share capital:

To split all or any of the Company's Share capital into Shares of smaller denomination than that prescribed in these Articles by distributing all or any of the Company's Shares for the time being.

Evogene Ltd. 13 Gad Feinstein Street, Park Rehovot, Rehovot P.O. Box 4173, Ness Ziona, 7414002, Israel

Re: Evogene Ltd.-

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as Israeli counsel for Evogene Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the "Company"), in connection with the potential issuance and sale by the Company to an investor (the "Selling Shareholder"), in a private placement (the "Placement"), of 3,384,616 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.20 per share ("Ordinary Shares"), underlying ordinary warrants, consisting of: (i) 1,692,308 Ordinary Shares underlying Series A ordinary warrants ("Series A Warrants") and (ii) 1,692,308 Ordinary Shares underlying Series B ordinary warrants ("Series B Warrants", and together with the Series A Warrants, the "Ordinary Warrants"). The Ordinary Shares underlying the Ordinary Warrants are referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares". The Ordinary Warrants were sold by the Company to the Selling Shareholder on August 26, 2024 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2024, by and between the Company and the Selling Shareholder (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). The Series A Warrants have an exercise price of \$3.55 per Warrant Share, were immediately exercisable upon issuance under the Securities Purchase Agreement and will expire five years from issuance. The Series B Warrants have an exercise price of \$3.55 per Warrant Share, were immediately exercisable upon issuance under the Securities Purchase Agreement and will expire eighteen months from issuance.

This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Items 601(b)(5) and (b)(23) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

In connection herewith, we have examined the originals, or photocopies or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of:

• (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement;
• (ii) the form of Series A Warrant;
• (iii) the form of Series B Warrant;
• (iv) a copy of the amended and restated articles of association of the Company, as currently in effect (the "Articles");
• (v) a draft copy of the registration statement on Form F-1 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act that will register the resale by the Selling Shareholder of the Warrant Shares underlying the Ordinary Warrants;
• (vi) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") which approved, among other matters,
  • a. the Company's entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement;
    • b. the Company's issuance of the Ordinary Warrants;
  • c. the Company's potential issuance of the Warrant Shares upon receipt of the exercise price of the Ordinary Warrants;
  • d. all other actions to be taken in connection with the Placement; and
  • e. the Company's filing of the Registration Statement to register the resale by the Selling Shareholder of the Warrant Shares; and
• (vii) such other corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers of the Company as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth.

We have also made such inquiries of such officers and representatives of the Company 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.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when the Ordinary Warrants are exercised pursuant to the Placement and the exercise price thereunder is paid in full in accordance with the terms thereof, and the underlying Warrant Shares are issued, then, in each such case, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Members of our firm are admitted to the Bar in the State of Israel and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

We consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm appearing under the captions "Legal Matters" in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, or Item 509 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

This opinion letter is rendered as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments that may be brought to our attention after the date hereof that may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.

Very truly yours,
