(the "Registration Statement") is being filed solely for the purpose of including language provided by Rule 473(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 for the automatic effectiveness of the Registration Statement 20 days following the filing of Amendment No. 1. Amendment No. 1 does not modify any provision of the prospectus that forms a part of the Registration Statement. Accordingly, a preliminary prospectus has been omitted.
Our Office Holders' Insurance. Our Articles provide that, subject to any applicable law, the Company may enter into contract to cover any Company office holder's liability, as imposed on them following an action they perform in their capacity as a Company office holder, to the maximum extent permitted in the law, due to each of the following:
Under the Companies Law, exemption and indemnification of, and procurement of insurance coverage for, our office holders, must be approved by our compensation committee and our board of directors and, with respect to an office holder who is the Chief Executive Officer or a director, also by our shareholders. However, according to regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, shareholders and board of directors approvals for the procurement of such insurance are not required if the insurance policy is approved by our compensation committee and: (i) the terms of such policy are within the framework for insurance coverage as approved by our shareholders and set forth in our compensation policy; (ii) the premium paid under the insurance policy is at fair market value; and (iii) the insurance policy does not and may not have a substantial effect on our profitability, assets or obligations.
In accordance with our compensation policy, approved by our shareholders at the 2021 annual general meeting, we are currently entitled to hold directors' and officer holders liability insurance policy for the benefit of our office holders with insurance coverage of up to \$15,000,000, provided that the insurance period shall not exceed 7 years, and with such annual premium reflecting market terms and not having a substantial effect on the Company's profitability, assets or obligations.
Our Office Holders' Indemnification. Under the Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of a fiduciary duty. 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 include such a provision. The company may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders. We also do not exculpate our directors in advance from liability for damages caused to the Company as a result of a breach of duty of care in connection with a transaction in which a controlling shareholder or any office holder has a personal interest.
● A monetary liability imposed on them for the benefit of another Person according to a judgment, including
II-1
Under the Companies Law, the Securities Law and the Israeli Economic Competition Law, 5748-1988 (the "Economic Competition Law"), a company may indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either in advance of an event or following an event, provided its articles of association include a provision authorizing such indemnification:
imposed on the office holder by a court (i) in a proceeding instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or (ii) in connection with criminal indictment of which the office holder was acquitted, or (iii) in a criminal indictment which the office holder was convicted of an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent;
● financial liability imposed on the office holder on behalf of all the victims of the breach in an Administrative Proceeding;
II-2
An "Administrative Proceeding" is defined as a proceeding pursuant to chapters H3 (Monetary Sanction by the Israel Securities Authority), H4 (Administrative Enforcement Proceedings of the Administrative Enforcement Committee) or I1 (Arrangement to Conditionally Prevent Proceedings or Suspend Proceedings) of the Securities Law.
Under the Companies Law, the Securities Law and the Economic Competition 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:
Under the Companies Law, a company may not indemnify, exculpate or insure an office holder against any of the following:
● a fine or forfeit levied against the office holder.
Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders in a public company must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors and, with respect to directors or controlling shareholders, their relatives and third parties in which such controlling shareholders have a personal interest, also by the shareholders.
Our Articles include provisions under which office holders are or may be insured, exempted or indemnified against liability, which they may incur in their capacities as such, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
II-3
We have entered into agreements with each of our current office holders undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to limited exceptions. This indemnification under the current indemnification agreements is limited as follows: the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that may be paid by ZOOZ to all office holders entitled to indemnification, whether in advance or after the event, with respect to all indemnification undertakings by ZOOZ to office holders (including indemnification undertakings to office holders of companies held by ZOOZ), if and to the extent that it grants them, based on the grounds specified above, shall not exceed the higher of 25% of ZOOZ's shareholders' equity at the time of the indemnification, and NIS 10,000,000. However, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification of office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.
Our Office Holder's Exemption. Our Articles provide that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, may, at the maximum permissible in the law, exempt an office holder from all or some of their liability, in advance or in retrospect, due to damage of any kind caused to them or that may be caused to them, directly or indirectly, if it was or is caused following a violation of the duty of care toward the Company, including for any decision, failure to decide, or any derivative of the above, and due to any other incident, cause, liability, expense, or damage, if it is permissible to grant an exemption due to them pursuant to the Companies Law at the relevant time for approving the exemption, except in the event of a violation of the duty of care toward the Company within a distribution.
The foregoing also applies to a Company office holder's exemption in connection with their role as an office holder in a subsidiary or position holder in a subsidiary or in any other company that ZOOZ has a share in, directly or indirectly, or that the Company is otherwise interested in.
Limitations on Insurance, Indemnification and Exemption. According to the Companies Law, and as long as the Companies Law does not allow otherwise, the Company may not enter into contract to cover the liability of an office holder therein, and may not indemnify or exempt any of its office holder from their liability toward the Company due to any of the following:
The Securities Law includes an administrative enforcement procedure that may be used by the Israel Securities Authority, to enhance the efficacy of enforcement in the securities market in Israel. Pursuant to the Companies Law and the Securities Law, the Israel Securities Authority is authorized to impose administrative sanctions, including monetary fines, against companies like ours and their office holders and directors for certain violations of the Securities Law or the Companies Law. Furthermore, the Securities Law requires that the Chief Executive Officer of a company supervise and take all reasonable measures to prevent the company or any of its employees from breaching the Securities Law. The Chief Executive Officer is presumed to have fulfilled such supervisory duty if the company adopts internal enforcement procedures designed to prevent such breaches, appoints a representative to supervise the implementation of such procedures and takes measures to correct the breach and prevent its reoccurrence.
II-4
Under the Securities Law, a company cannot obtain insurance against or indemnify a third-party (including its office holders and/or employees) for any administrative procedure and/or monetary fine (other than for payment of damages to an injured party). The Securities Law permits insurance and/or indemnification for expenses related to an administrative procedure, such as reasonable legal fees, provided that it is permitted under the company's articles of association.
We have adopted and implemented an internal enforcement plan to reduce our exposure to potential breaches of the Companies Law and the Securities Law, applicable to us. Our Articles and letters of indemnification permit, among others, insurance and/or indemnification as contemplated under the Securities Law.
