To the shareholders of

SAVOREAT LTD.

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of SavorEat Ltd. (hereinafter - the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Israel, including those prescribed by the Israeli Auditors Regulations (Auditor's Mode of Performance), 1973. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Company's board of directors and management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and with the provisions of the Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements), 2010.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - GENERAL:

a. SavorEat Ltd was incorporated on December 3, 2018 and commenced its operating activity in 2019. The Company did not have expenses or cash flows in 2018 and had no asset or liability balances as of December 31, 2018. The Company is active in a single operating segment which is development of technology for manufacturing and cooking meat substitutes through advanced manufacturing technology, including 3D printing. The corporate address of the Company is 4 Oppenheimer St., Rehovot, Israel. The Company is a public entity, whose shares are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE).

b. Definitions:

In these financial statements:

The Company - SavorEat Ltd.
Related parties - As defined by IAS 24.
Interested parties and
controlling
shareholders
- As defined by the Israel Securities Law,
1968 and the regulations thereunder. The
interested parties of the Company are
Oded Shoseyov, Ido Braslavsky, Racheli
Vizman, Yissum
Research Development
Company is the technology transfer
company of the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem Ltd (hereinafter: "Yissum"),
Millennium Food-Tech Limited
Partnership and Meitav-Dash Investment
Ltd (through provident and pension
funds, mutual funds and partnerships),
More Investments Ltd (through provident
funds and partnerships) and Psagot
Investment House Ltd (through
provident,
pension and mutual funds, as
well as partnerships)

In December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in the Chinese city of Wuhan, which quickly spread worldwide in early 2020, causing global economic uncertainty and distress due to mandatory shut-downs of many businesses, slower manufacturing and disruption of national and international shipments and travel (hereinafter: "COVID"). As part of the efforts to cope with COVID, most countries worldwide imposed certain restrictions on their populations, including limits on movement, gathering in the public space; caps on the numbers of employees allowed in workplaces and more. Those restrictions have had a direct impact on many industries.

Israel has experienced four waves of COVID in 2020 and 2021, following which the government imposed various measures, including lockdowns, restrictions on movement and gathering and limits on opening places of commerce. However, a large-scale vaccination campaign in Israel led to gradual and partial lifting of most restrictions. Currently, most industries in the local economy have some level of business activity, subject to certain restrictions, with the lifestyle activity occurring under the "Green Pass" guidelines.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (continued):

However, other countries still struggle with COVID, and even currently spreading, while nations that gained certain control over the pandemic have not yet lifted the gathering and certain other restrictions on commerce and tourism.

The Company is unable to assess the full and final impact of the pandemic on its activity. However, the Company believes that the lack of ability to go back to normal, unrestricted movement and/or activity or return to social distancing (and/or working from home) and the inability to allow investors and/or potential customers, having meetings with multiple participants and/or pilot programs at supermarket chains and/or public dining places, to get an impression and/or taste the products of the Company may impact its ability to close strategic agreements, agreements with potential customers and/or to raise capital as long as the COVID pandemic restrictions continues and/or reinstated. Additionally, a return to restrictions on movement and workplaces following national and/or local government (such as instituting a lockdown) and/or a slower than expected return to full normal operations that was in place prior to the pandemic may adversely affect the research and development activity of the Company and its progress (e.g. due to delays in the provision of needed raw materials). Additionally, most expansion of the Company's business activity is expected to occur outside of Israel, and the limitations on movement to and from Israel has been constraining the Company in its efforts to create business collaborations in geographies outside of Israel.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a. Basis of presentation of financial statements

The financial statements of the Company are drawn up on a cost basis subject to adjustments in respect of financial assets and liabilities presented at fair value.

The Company elected to present the statement of income using the function of expense method.

Basis of preparation of financial statements

These financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (hereafter – IFRS)

Additionally, these financial statements are prepared in accordance with provisions of the Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements), 2010.

The Equity Method

According to the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially recognized at fair value (under a valuation performed in associate) and its carrying amount varies such that the Company recognizes its share in the associate's earnings or losses from acquisition date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

On May 3, 2021, Egg'N'up Ltd. Was incorporated (accounted for in SavorEat accounts using the equity method) and commenced its business activity in October 2021. The Company operates in a single operating segment, which is development of technology for manufacturing and roasting of egg alternatives through advanced digital manufacturing, including 3D printing. Egg'N'up address is 4 Oppenheimer St. Rehovot. Egg'N'up is a private company.

b. Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional currency and the presentation currency of the financial statements is NIS.

Foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities

Foreign currency transactions are recorded upon initial recognition using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are recognized in the income statement under "finance income" or "finance expenses". Nonmonetary assets and liabilities presented at cost are translated using exchange rates at the date of the transaction.

c. Period of operating cycle

The period of the Company's regular operating cycle is not more than a year. Up to 12 months.

d. Cash and cash equivalents

Highly-liquid investments, including unrestricted short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of investment are considered by the Company to be cash equivalents.

e. Leases

The Company as a lessee:

The Company assesses when entering a contract whether it is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company reassesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease only if the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.

At initial recognition, the Company recognizes a lease liability at the present value of future lease payments, which include, among other things, the exercise price of extension options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. At the same time, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset for the lease, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less any lease incentives received and plus any initial direct costs incurred by the Company.

Payments for short-term leases and payments for leases with underlying assets that are of low value are expensed to profit or loss on the straight-line method over lease term. Short-term leases have terms of 12 months or less.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

f. Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost including direct acquisition costs, less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and excluding day-to-day servicing expenses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset at even annual rates as follows:

%
Computers 33
Furniture 6
Electronic equipment 15

g. Intangible assets

Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including direct acquisition costs. Contingent consideration in relation to asset acquisition is recognized as financial liability only when the consideration is contingent on future events, which are not in control of the Company. In cases where the payment of the contingent consideration is in control of the Company, the liability is recognized only on the date when a non-contingent liability is created. As to contingent consideration relating to asset acquisition and referring to future payments of licensing agreement with Yissum, see note 15. After initial recognition, intangible assets are presented at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Costs in respect of proprietary intangible assets, except for capitalized development costs, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Research and development

Research and development expenses are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (associated with design and testing of new or improved products) are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

  • It is technically feasible to complete the intangible assets so that it will be available for use;
  • Management intends to complete the intangible asset and use it or sell it;
  • There is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
  • It can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits;
  • Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset are available; and
  • The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured.

Other development costs that do not meet the above criteria are recognized at cost as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset on a subsequent period. As of the reporting date, the Company did not meet the conditions for development costs as mentioned and accordingly they were recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

h. Impairment of non-financial assets

The company reviews the need for impairment of the carrying amounts of nonfinancial assets when events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable. In cases where the carrying amount of nonfinancial assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable value. The recoverable value is the higher between the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In estimating value in use, the expected cash flow is discounted at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the specific risk to each asset. For an asset that does not generate independent cash flows, a recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

i. Taxes on income

The tax results in respect of current or deferred taxes are carried to the statement of income except to the extent that the tax arises from items which are recognized directly in shareholders' equity or other comprehensive income.

1) Current taxes

The current tax liability is measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date as well as adjustments required in connection with the tax liability in respect of previous years.

2) Deferred taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income tax using the liability method, in respect of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities as reported in the financial statements and those taken into account for tax purposes. The amount of deferred taxes is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the date of the statement of financial position and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that are tax deductible, up to the amount of the differences that are expected to be utilized in the future, against taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are set off if, and only if:

  • there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and liabilities, and
  • the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either: the same taxable entity, or different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

j. Employee benefits liabilities:

1) Short-term employee benefits:

Short-term employee benefits are benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related services. A liability in respect of a cash bonus or a profit-sharing plan is recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to make such payment as a result of past service rendered by an employee and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

2) Post-employment benefits:

Defined Contribution plan is a post-employment benefits plan to the employees, under which the Company pays fixed contributions to an independent entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient amounts to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

The Company's liability to severance pay in respect of employees in Israel is pursuant to section 14 to the Severance Pay Law and is covered by fixed contributions to the defined contribution plans. The contributions paid are included in the statement of comprehensive loss.

The Company has employees from 2020.

k. Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share is generally calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

Basic earnings per share include only shares outstanding during the period.

The potential shares are taken into account only when the effect is diluting (i.e. reducing the earnings per share).

l. Government grants

Government grants received from the Israel Innovation Authority in the Ministry of Economy (hereafter- the "Innovation Authority") as participation in research and development activity of the Company (hereafter- the "Innovation Authority Grants") fall into the scope of "forgivable loans" as defined in International Accounting Standard 20 – "Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance". (hereafter – IAS 20)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

The liabilities for innovation authority grants are recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS 9. If on the date in which the entitlement for the grant is formalized (hereinafter - "entitlement date") the Company's management concludes that there is no reasonable assurance that the relevant grant (hereinafter - the "grant received") would not be repaid, the Company, as of that date, recognizes a financial liability, which is accounted for under the guidance in IFRS 9 regarding financial liabilities measured in amortized cost. The difference between the grant received and the fair value of the said financial liability on the date of initial recognition is accounted for as a government grant and recognized in profit or loss as a reduction of research and development expenses.

In case that on entitlement date the Company's management concludes that there is reasonable assurance that the innovation authority grant would not be repaid, the grant is recognized, as of that date, to profit or loss as a reduction of research and development expenses. To the extent that the Company's management concludes for the first time that there is no reasonable assurance that the grant would not be repaid, the Company recognizes, as of that date, a financial liability against profit or loss. That financial liability is accounted for according to the guidance in IFRS 9 regarding financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

m. Financial instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of the standard are measured upon initial recognition at their fair values plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, except when a financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss.

The Company classifies and measures the debt instruments in its financial statements using the following criteria:

  • (a) The Company's business model for managing the financial assets, and
  • (b) The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

The Company measures debt instruments at amortized cost when:

The financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These assets are classified as current assets, excluding maturities for a period of no more than 12 months after the date of statement of financial position, which are classified as non-current assets. As of December 31, 2020 – the Company has only financial assets at amortized cost, under "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Accounts receivables" presented in the statement of financial position. After initial recognition, instruments in that group are measured at amortized cost, under the terms thereof at cost plus direct transactions costs, using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

Additionally, an entity may, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate a debt instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency, i.e. when the relating financial liability is also measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses the allowance for expected credit losses for financial assets that are not measured through profit or loss. The Company distinguishes between two situations of recognition of allowance for expected credit losses;

(a) Debt instruments for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition or in cases that the debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk - an entity shall measure the loss allowance for that debt instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses after reporting date, or;

(b) Debt instruments for which the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and in cases that the debt instrument is determined to not have low credit risk - an entity shall measure the loss allowance for that debt instrument based on its lifetime.

Impairment of debt instruments measured at amortized cost shall be recognized in profit or loss against loss allowance. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company did not recognize allowance for

Derecognition of financial assets

expected credit losses.

The Company shall derecognize a financial asset when, and only when:

  • (a) The contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or
  • (b) The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, or the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
  • (c) The Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients, without material delay.

Financial liabilities

At initial recognition, an entity measures the financial liabilities within the scope of the standard at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability, except in case that the financial liability is measured at fair value through profit or loss, for which transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, the Company measures all financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

Trade payables

Trade payables consist of obligations of the Company to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less, otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company removes a financial liability when, and only when, it is extinguished - i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

The financial liability is extinguished when the debtor repays the liability by cash, other financial assets, goods or services or was released from any legal obligation.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the

statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. The right to offset must be legally enforceable not only in the ordinary course of business of the counterparties, but also in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of one of the counterparties. In order for the right to offset be currently available, it must not be contingent on a future event or be applicable intermittently or events being present causing it to expire.

n. Share capital

Ordinary shares of the Company are classified as share capital.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

o. Provisions

Provisions are recorded when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. The Company does not recognize provisions for future operative losses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

p. Share-based payments

The Company's equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the Company receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Company. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense in the income statement. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the granted equity instruments:

  • including any market performance conditions (for example, the entity's share price);
  • excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions; and
  • including the impact of any non-vesting conditions.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in the assumptions used in estimating the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognized in the course of the vesting period, which is the period during which all vesting conditions of the share-based payment arrangement are to be met.

On each statement of financial position date, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions and recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment in equity.

NOTE 3 - CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Innovation Authority grants

Government grants received from the Innovation Authority in the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor are recognized as a liability if economic benefits are expected as a result of research and development activities leading to sales that would qualify the government to royalties. There is uncertainty regarding the estimated future economic benefits as a result of research and development activities, therefore the Company did not create a liability.

Development costs capitalization

Development costs are capitalized in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 2g. Capitalization of costs is based on management's judgment about technological and economic feasibility, which is usually achieved when a development project reaches a predefined milestone, or when the Company engages in a transaction to sell the know-how that resulted from development. In determining the amount to be capitalized, management makes assumptions as to the future anticipated cash inflows from the assets, discount rate used in the capitalization and the anticipated period of future benefits. Through the date of this report, the Company has not discounted such amounts, and research and development expenses were entirely recognized in profit or loss.

6) In August 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 compensation plan for officers, employees and consultants ("the Plan"), which was filed to income tax authorities. Under the plan, employees, directors, officers, consultants, service providers and controlling shareholders of the Company will be allotted equity securities of the Company from time to time, and under terms to be set by the board of directors, as follows: (1) ordinary shares; (2) options taxed as equity (known as capital gains track); or (3) options taxed as work income (known as income tax track). The grant to eligible individuals would be made under the provisions of Section 102 to the Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961 ("the Ordinance") under both options with or without a trustee. Those ineligible to the tax benefits under Section 102 to the Ordinance would be allotted options under Section 3(i) to the Ordinance. The term of the plan is 15 years since being adopted by a board resolution, as above. The number of options included in that plan may be revised from time to time by the board, in accordance with the provisions of the plan. The plan (as revised from time to time by the board) does not have a fixed pool of shares. The number of options granted is 152,000.

The amount of expenses recognized in respect to employee options in profit or loss in 2021 is NIS 2,843,510.

7) On June 16, 2020, an investment agreement was signed between the Company and Millennium Food-Tech Limited Partnership (hereinafter: "Millennium Food-Tech"), which was amended on June 30, 2020 (hereinafter: "the Investment Agreement"). According to the Agreement, Millennium Food-Tech would invest in the Company US\$1.75 million based on a fully-diluted valuation of US\$7 million (hereinafter: "the Investment Amount"). This Investment will give Millennium Food-Tech about 20% of the issued share capital of the Company (subject to completing a \$3.5 million financing round, in which Millennium Food-Tech invested in the Company). Millennium Food-Tech would be allotted ordinary shares of the Company. However, in case that preferred shares are allocated within a year after the date of Investment, Millennium Food-Tech would have an option to convert the shares into a new class. Notwithstanding the above, if Preferred C shares are allotted to a third party within four months from date of investment in return for raising \$1 million or more at a value that is greater than that of the present transaction, the conversion of the shares under the terms of the new round would be made subject to the valuation of the transaction under the Investment Agreement will be revised to be at the average between the valuation of the new round and the valuation of the Company under the Investment Agreement and forfeiture of Millennium Food-Tech's shares, as necessary, for updating that valuation.

It was further agreed that Millennium Food-Tech would be granted an option to make an additional investment of up to \$1.75 million in the next investment round of the Company, assuming 20% on the future investment. This option would be for the earlier of a two-year period after signing date of the agreement or until the next investment round of the Company. However, in the event that no single financing round of at least \$1 million takes place within the two years after the date of Investment under the Investment Agreement, this option will be extended until a single \$1 million round takes place, but not for longer than three years since the date of such investment. It was agreed that according to the above timeline, the option would be fully or partially exercisable in a number of installments. Additionally, it was agreed that Millennium Food-Tech would have the right to appoint a director of the Company as long as its holdings are 10% of the issued share capital of the Company.

On July 20, 2020, the investment transaction of Millennium Food-Tech in the Company was closed, with Millennium Food-Tech investing \$1.75 million in the Company, such that its equity interest is 20%.

On October 6, 2020, Millennium Food-Tech exercised the said option, and invested additional \$750,000 in the Company against an allotment of 32,296 ordinary shares of the Company. The remaining part of the option expired.

According to the Investment Transaction, the Investors would make an investment in the Company in two installments, as follows:
    • First installment: Investment of \$950 thousand against shares of the Company at \$8.97 per share, based on a pre-money Company valuation of \$13 million. The Investment Transaction gave each of the investors a right to invest an additional amount, based on the amount of the first installment, in exchange of additional ordinary shares of the Company, over two years since the date of completing the transaction, but not less than a year since the date of completing the listing process. The number of shares allotted on exercising that right would be at \$8.88 per share (106,984).
    • Second installment: Will take place when the conditions precedent in the Investment Transaction are satisfied – i.e. meeting a milestone in the progress of developing the manufacturing process for the Company's product; an investment of \$2.05 million against shares at \$22.28 per share, based on a Company pre-money valuation of \$35 million. In the event that the above conditions precedent are not met by the earlier of (a) November 1, 2021 and (b) publication of a prospectus by the Company in relation to a listing on a stock exchange ("the Listing" and "the Expiration Date", respectively), the second installment will immediately expire on the Expiration Date, and the Investors would not have any duty to invest the above amount of the second installment. Notwithstanding the above, if the Listing process has not been completed, the Investor would have a right to invest under the above terms even when the conditions precedent are not met.

The Investment Transaction indicated that the price per share and the number of shares allotted to the Investors in each installment would be adjusted when one or more of the events listed in the Investment Agreement and relating to a public offering by the Company and/or the valuation of the Company on the date of that offering take place. According to the above mechanism set by the Investment Agreement, on November 4, 2020, and as part of a public offering by the Company on TASE, the share price was determined under the adjustment mechanism.

Concurrently to the engagement in the Investment Transaction, the Investment Agreement between Millennium Food-Tech and the Company was amended in respect to an option that was granted to Millennium Foods, allowing it to invest in the Company an additional amount of \$1.75 million in the next financing round of the Company, with an option to invest based on a price reflecting 20% of the Company's share price on that round or a 20% discount of the Company's share price as may be determined at the time of the Company's public offering on TASE. The option would be in effect until the earlier of (a) a two-year period from the original date of the Millennium Food-Tech investment in the Company, (b) the next financing round of at least \$1 million by the Company, or (c) the date on which the Company completes a public offering.

It was also agreed that the second installment under the Investment Agreement would be considered as a financing round for the purpose of the option. If Millennium Food-Tech exercises the option upon completion of the second installment under the Investment Agreement, then the Company would allocate Millennium Food-Tech ordinary shares as indicated below: If the issue of the Company takes place prior to November 1, 2021, then the offering of its shares, the Company would allocate Millennium Food-Tech ordinary shares at a price reflecting a 20% discount on the price at the time of completing the offering. If the offering does not take place under that date, the Company would allocate ordinary shares to Millennium Food-Tech in the next financing round of \$1 million or more taking place after November 1, 2021 at a price per share reflecting a 20% discount on the price in the financing round, and at any event, the price may not be less than \$8.97 per share. At this stage, the number of shares of Millennium Food-Tech has not been determined; however, Millennium Food-Tech elected to partially exercise the option and the remaining option expired.

On November 4, 2020, it was agreed that the share price determined in the first installment would be revised to \$8.88 per share and the share price under the second installment would be revised to \$22.28 per share. According to those understandings, the Investors were issued additional shares that reflect the above reduction of the price per share.
