Entry into Cooperation Agreement and Settlement of Shareholder Dispute
As previously reported by the Company in its Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 27, 2026 and August 4, 2026, J.B.D Innovation Ltd. (“JBD”) and Victor Tshuva & Co. – Law Offices (“Victor Tshuva & Co.” and, together with JBD, the “Shareholders”) delivered a demand letter to the Company requesting that the Company convene a special general meeting of shareholders to consider, among other matters, the removal of certain directors and the election of director nominees designated by the Shareholders (the “Demand Letter”). The Shareholders subsequently commenced proceedings against the Company and certain additional respondents in the Economic Department of the Haifa District Court (the “Court”) seeking injunctive relief in connection with the Company’s previously announced private placement (the “Court Proceedings”). The Court granted a temporary injunctive relief and halted the consummation of the Private Placement on August 2, 2026.
On August 7, 2026, the Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with the Shareholders to resolve the matters raised in the Demand Letter and the Court Proceedings and certain other matters relating to the composition of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The Cooperation Agreement was entered into without any admission by any party of any allegation, liability or responsibility.
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, effective three business days following the dismissal of the Court Proceedings (the “Effective Date”), Ms. Lurie and Mr. Wagner (the “Departing Directors”) will resign from the Board and all committees thereof. Also effective three business days following the Effective Date, the Company will take the necessary actions to appoint Mr. Avichay Vardi, Mr. Oz Adler, Mr. Gabriel Kabazo and Ms. Hila Kiron Revach (collectively, the “New Directors”) to serve as members of the Board. Mr. Vardi and Mr. Adler will serve as Class I Directors, while Ms. Revach and Mr. Kabazo will serve as Class II and Class III Directors, respectively. The biographies of the New Directors are provided below. Following the appointment of the New Directors and the resignation of the Departing Directors, the Board will consist of seven members.
Based on questionnaires and declarations provided by the New Directors, the Company has determined that each New Director qualifies as an “independent director” pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 and is eligible to serve as a director of a public company under applicable U.S. and Israeli law. Each New Director will have the same rights and benefits, including with respect to compensation, indemnification, exculpation and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage, as the other non-employee members of the Board, except where shareholder approval is required under applicable Israeli law.
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Shareholders will irrevocably withdraw the Demand Letter and any related materials, demands or notices submitted to the Company in connection therewith and cease all efforts in furtherance of the demand to convene the special general meeting and any related solicitation.
The parties have also agreed that the Court Proceedings will be dismissed, with no order as to costs. Simultaneously with the execution of the Cooperation Agreement, the parties agreed to file with the Court a joint notice and motion for termination of the Court Proceedings. On August 10, 2026, the Court dismissed the Court Proceedings with no order as to costs.

Financing Commitment
In connection with the Cooperation Agreement, on August 7, 2026, the Company and JBD entered into a side letter (the “Side Letter”), pursuant to which JBD irrevocably committed, for a period of 24 months commencing on the date thereof, to provide financing to the Company if the Board determines in good faith, based on the Company’s then-current operating plan, projected cash requirements and other relevant financial information, that the Company does not have sufficient financial resources to fund its currently existing operations for at least the following 24 months. If such condition is satisfied, JBD has agreed to provide, either directly or through one or more of its affiliates or another financing vehicle designated by JBD, debt financing to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $12.0 million (the “Financing Commitment”) for the purpose of funding the Company’s ongoing business operations.

The structure and commercial terms of such convertible debt financing, including the amount and timing of funding, interest rate, if applicable, maturity, repayment terms, conversion mechanics, prepayment provisions, events of default, security, if any, financial covenants and other customary terms, will be negotiated and agreed in good faith between JBD and the Board then in office, including the directors appointed pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement.
The Side Letter does not obligate JBD to provide any funding as of the date thereof, and JBD’s obligation to provide the Financing Commitment will arise only upon the occurrence of the condition as described in the Side Letter.
The foregoing summaries of the Cooperation Agreement and Side Letter do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Cooperation Agreement and the Side Letter, copies of which are furnished as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K (this “Report”) and are incorporated herein by reference.
This Report shall not constitute an offer to sell any securities or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Forward-Looking Statements:
This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. For example, the Company is using forward-looking statements when it discusses the anticipated implementation of the Cooperation Agreement, including the resignation and appointment of directors contemplated thereby, the dismissal of the Court Proceedings, the withdrawal of the Demand Letter, and the availability, terms and potential funding of the Financing Commitment contemplated by the Side Letter. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include the risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Commission on March 12, 2026, and the Company’s other filings with the Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
