Disclaimer This Presentation is not an Offer or a Representation This Presentation does not constitute an offer, or a solicitation of an offer, to buy or sell any securities, investment or other specific product, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities, investment or other specific product in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The information contained herein does not purport to be all - inclusive and Actelis nor any of its subsidiaries, stockholders, affiliates, representatives, control persons, partners, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information contained in this Presentation.

The recipient shall not rely upon any statement, representation or warranty made by any other person, firm or corporation in making any investment decision. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no circumstances will the Company or any of its subsidiaries, stockholders, affiliates, representatives, control persons, partners, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents be responsible or liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit arising from the use of this Presentation, its contents, its omissions, reliance on the information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise arising in connection therewith. The general explanations included in this Presentation cannot address, and are not intended to address, your specific investment objectives, financial situations or financial needs.

Financial Information and Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures. The financial information contained in this Presentation has been taken from or prepared based on our historical financial statements for the periods presented. This presentation includes certain non - GAAP financial measures. These non - GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to their nearest GAAP equivalent or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Actelis. Our management uses forward - looking non - GAAP measures to evaluate our projected financials and operating performance. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non - GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. In addition, other companies may calculate non - GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, our non - GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally, to the extent that forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non - GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward looking non - GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.
