Registered Direct Offering
On December 12, 2025, Inspira Technologies Oxy B.H.N. Ltd., or the Company, entered into a definitive agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with YA II PN, Ltd., or YA, providing for the issuance and sale, in a registered direct offering, of an aggregate of 1,565,217 ordinary shares, or the Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $1.15 per share. The offering is expected to result in gross proceeds to the Company of $1.8 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Ordinary Shares to be issued in the registered direct offering will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-289324), which was declared effective by the SEC on December 12, 2025.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions. The Purchase Agreement provides for indemnification by the Company of YA for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and affords certain rights of contribution with respect thereto.
The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about December 16, 2025.
This Report on Form 6-K, or Report, shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the opinions of Sullivan & Worcester Tel Aviv (Har-Even & Co.) relating to the Ordinary Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Report.
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On December 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, or the SEPA, with YA. Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company will be able to sell up to $25 million, or the Commitment Amount, of its Ordinary Shares, or the Shares, at the Company’s sole option, any time during the 36-month period following the execution date of the SEPA. Pursuant to the terms of the SEPA, any Shares sold to YA will be priced at 97% of the market price, which is defined as the lowest daily VWAP (as defined in the SEPA) of the Shares during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day of the Company’s delivery of an Advance Notice (as defined in the SEPA) to YA. Any sale of Shares pursuant to the SEPA is subject to certain limitations, including that YA is not permitted to purchase any Shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s Shares.
The Company is not obligated to utilize any of the $25 million available under the SEPA and there are no minimum commitments or minimum use penalties. The total amount of funds that ultimately can be raised under the SEPA over the 36-month term will depend on the market price for the Shares and the number of Shares actually sold. The SEPA does not impose any restrictions on the Company’s operating activities.
Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company also agreed to pay YA a commitment fee, or the Commitment Fee, equal to 2.00% of the Commitment Amount, payable in two tranches in the Company’s ordinary shares at a price per share equal to $1.15, and also agreed to pay to YA a structuring fee in the amount of $25,000, of which $15,000 has been paid prior to the date hereof.
1
Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company is required to register the Shares eligible to be sold pursuant to the SEPA. The Company agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement, or multiple registration statements for the Shares.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Commitment Fee Shares are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
This Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Shares or the Commitment Fee Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
The description of the SEPA set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SEPA, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Press Release
On December 15, 2025, the Company issued a press release titled “Inspira Announces $1.8 Million Registered Direct Offering Priced At-The-Market and Additional Equity Financing Agreement to Support Ongoing Commercial Execution,” a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report.
The Report is incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration Statements on Form F-3 (Registration Nos. 333-284308 and 333-289324) and Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-259057, 333-277980, 333-285565 and 333-290162), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to be a part thereof from the date on which this Report is submitted, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.
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 closing of the registered direct offering, the expected use of proceeds from the offering and SEPA and the amount the Company will be able to sell under the SEPA. 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, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2025, and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. 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.

Re: Sale of Securities Pursuant to Registration Statement on Form F-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as Israeli counsel to Inspira Technologies Oxy B.H.N. Ltd., (the “Company”), an Israeli company, in connection with a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-289324) (the “Registration Statement”), the prospectus included therein and the related prospectus supplement filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Prospectus Supplement” and “Securities Act,” respectively), with respect to the issuance and sale by the Company, in a registered direct offering of 1,565,217 ordinary shares of the Company, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated December 12, 2025, between the Company and the purchaser named therein (the “Purchase Agreement” and the “Offering,” respectively).
This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Items 601(b)(5) and (b)(23) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the originals, or photocopies or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement and the form of Purchase Agreement, copies of the Company’s amended and restated articles of association, resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) which have heretofore been approved and relate to the Offering, and such statutes, regulations, corporate records, documents, certificates and such other instruments that we have deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinions hereinafter expressed.
In such examination, we have assumed: (i) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (iii) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the corporate records, documents, certificates and instruments we have reviewed; (iv) the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof; and (v) the legal capacity of all natural persons. As to any facts material to such opinion, to the extent that we did not independently establish relevant facts, we have relied on certificates of public officials and certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company.
We are members of the Israel Bar and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Israel and have not, for the purpose of giving this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any other jurisdiction than the State of Israel. This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that upon payment to the Company of the consideration in such amount and form as shall be determined by the Board or by an authorized committee thereof, the Ordinary Shares, when issued and sold in the Offering as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus Supplement, will be duly authorized, and when delivered to and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s report on Form 6-K dated December 15, 2025, which is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and to the use of our name wherever it appears in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement. In giving such consent, we do not believe that we are “experts” within the meaning of such term as used in the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the SEC issued thereunder or Item 509 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this opinion as an exhibit or otherwise.

(aa) Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state Shares laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, either:
| i. | if the Purchaser is located outside of the State of Israel, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act; or |
| ii. | if the Purchaser is located in the State of Israel, (A) an Israeli investor which falls within the scope of one of the criteria pursuant to the First Addendum of the Securities Law and (B) located outside the United States and not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act. |
(d) At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was not, and as of the date hereof it is not, an Enemy of Israel (as such term is defined under the Israeli Trading with the Enemy Ordinance of 1939) nor acting on behalf of or for the benefit of such.
(e) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
16
(f) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(g) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms or pricing terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
(h) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(i) No Voting Agreements. The Purchaser is not a party to any agreement or arrangement, whether written or oral, between the Purchaser and any other Purchaser and any of the Company’s shareholders as of the date hereof or a corporation in which the Company’s shareholders are an Interested Party (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”)) as of the date hereof, regulating the management of the Company, the shareholders’ rights in the Company, the transfer of shares in the Company, including any voting agreements, shareholder agreements or any other similar agreement even if its title is different or has any other relations or agreements with any of the Company’s shareholders, directors or officers.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

The indemnification required by this Section 4.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred.

The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Ordinary Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.10 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Shares or otherwise.
4.11 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in any disclosure schedule.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement.

5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
23
5.17 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.

Exhibit 10.2
STANDBY EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS STANDBY EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of December 12, 2025 is made by and between YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (the “Investor”), and INSPIRA TECHNOLOGIES OXY B.H.N. LTD., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”). The Investor and the Company may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, the Parties desire that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Company shall have the right to issue and sell to the Investor, from time to time as provided herein, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, up to $25 million of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”);
WHEREAS, the Ordinary Shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “IINN;”
WHEREAS, the offer and sale of the Ordinary Shares issuable hereunder will be made in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), or upon such other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to any or all of the transactions to be made hereunder; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Investor the Commitment Shares pursuant to and in accordance with Section 11.04.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
Article I. Certain Definitions
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex I hereto, and hereby made a part hereof, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
Article II. Advances
Section 2.01 Advances; Mechanics. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Company, at its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, Advance Shares by the delivery to the Investor of Advance Notices on the following terms:
| (a) | Advance Notice. At any time during the Commitment Period the Company may require the Investor to purchase Shares by delivering an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Investor of the conditions set forth in Annex II hereto, and in accordance with the following provisions: |
| (i) | The Company shall, in its sole discretion, select the number of Advance Shares, not to exceed the Maximum Advance Amount (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and the Investor), it desires to issue and sell to the Investor in each Advance Notice and the time it desires to deliver each Advance Notice. |
| (ii) | There shall be no mandatory minimum Advances and there shall be no non-usage fee for not utilizing the Commitment Amount or any part thereof. |
| (b) | Date of Delivery of Advance Notice. Advance Notices shall be delivered in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A attached hereto. An Advance Notice shall be deemed delivered on (i) the day it is received by the Investor if such notice is received by email at or before 9:00 a.m. New York City time (or at such later time if agreed to by the Investor in its sole discretion), or (ii) the immediately succeeding day if it is received by email after 9:00 a.m. New York City time. Upon receipt of an Advance Notice, the Investor shall promptly provide written confirmation (which may be by e-mail) of receipt of such Advance Notice, and which confirmation shall specify the commencement time of the applicable Pricing Period. |
| (c) | Advance Limitations, Regulatory. Regardless of the number of Advance Shares requested by the Company in an Advance Notice, the final number of Advance Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to such Advance Notice shall be reduced (if at all) in accordance with each of the following limitations: |
| (i) | Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. At the request of the Company, the Investor shall inform the Company of the number of Ordinary Shares the Investor and each of its Affiliates beneficially owns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any Ordinary Shares under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its Affiliates (on an aggregated basis) of a number of Ordinary Shares exceeding 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of Ordinary Shares (the “Ownership Limitation”). Upon the request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but no later than the next Business Day on which the transfer agent for the Ordinary Shares is open for business) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In connection with each Advance Notice delivered by the Company, any portion of an Advance that would (i) cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation or (ii) cause the aggregate number of Advance Shares issued and sold to the Investor hereunder to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the number of Advance Shares requested by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event. |
| (ii) | Registration Limitation. In no event shall an Advance exceed the number of Ordinary Shares registered in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby under the Registration Statement then in effect (the “Registration Limitation”). In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Registration Limitation shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event. |
| (iii) | Home Country Practice. Prior to the date hereof, the Company has taken all actions required pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5615(a)(3) to duly and validly rely on the exemption for foreign private issuers from applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq by adopting the home country practice (the “Home Country Practice”) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (including an exemption from any Nasdaq rules that would otherwise require seeking shareholder approval in respect of such transactions). The Company may issue the Ordinary Shares to the Investor in connection with this Agreement without regard to the limitations imposed by Nasdaq Rule 5635(d). The Company’s entry into and compliance with the obligations of the transactions contemplated hereunder are not prohibited by its home country’s laws. |
- 2 -
| (d) | Minimum Acceptable Price. |
| (i) | With respect to each Advance Notice, the Company may notify the Investor of the Minimum Acceptable Price with respect to such Advance by indicating a Minimum Acceptable Price on such Advance Notice. If no Minimum Acceptable Price is specified in an Advance Notice, then no Minimum Acceptable Price shall be in effect in connection with such Advance. Each Trading Day during a Pricing Period for which (A) with respect to each Advance Notice with a Minimum Acceptable Price, the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares is below the Minimum Acceptable Price in effect with respect to such Advance Notice, or (B) there is no VWAP (each such day in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), an “Excluded Day”), shall result in an automatic reduction to the number of Advance Shares set forth in such Advance Notice by one-third (1/3) (the resulting amount of each Advance being the “Adjusted Advance Amount”), and each Excluded Day shall be excluded from the Pricing Period for purposes of determining the Market Price. |
| (ii) | The total number of Advance Shares in respect of each Advance with any Excluded Day(s) (after reductions have been made to arrive at the Adjusted Advance Amount) shall be automatically increased by such number of Ordinary Shares (the “Additional Shares”) equal to the greater of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares sold by the Investor on such Excluded Day(s), if any, or (b) such number of Ordinary Shares elected to be subscribed for by the Investor, and the subscription price per share for each Additional Share shall be equal to the Minimum Acceptable Price in effect with respect to such Advance Notice multiplied by 97%, provided that this increase shall not cause the total Advance Shares to exceed the amount set forth in the applicable Advance Notice or any limitations set forth in Section 2.01(c). |
| (e) | Unconditional Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that upon the Investor’s receipt of a valid Advance Notice from the Company the Parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both Parties for the purchase and sale of the applicable number of Advance Shares pursuant to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (i) subject to Applicable Laws and (ii) subject to Section 6.18, the Investor may sell Ordinary Shares during the Pricing Period for such Advance Notice (including with respect to any Advance Shares subject to such Pricing Period); provided that, if the Company notifies Investor by e-mail that it wishes to stop all further sales prior to the end of the Pricing Period in respect of an outstanding Advance Notice, the applicable Pricing Period shall terminate, the Investor will stop all further sales, and that Advance Notice will be deemed to be terminated (other than in respect to such number of Ordinary Shares sold by the Investor prior to such termination). |
- 3 -
Section 2.02 Closings. The closing of each Advance and each sale and purchase of Advance Shares (each, a “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable on or after each Advance Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The Parties acknowledge that the Purchase Price is not known at the time the Advance Notice is delivered (at which time the Investor is irrevocably bound) but shall be determined on each Closing based on the daily prices of the Ordinary Shares that are the inputs to the determination of the Purchase Price as set forth further below (provided that for the purposes of determining the daily VWAP for any Trading Day, the Parties may use only a specified period within a Trading Day upon mutual consent). In connection with each Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below:
| (a) | On each Advance Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Settlement Document”), setting forth the final number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.01), the Market Price, the Purchase Price, the aggregate proceeds to be paid by the Investor to the Company, and a report by Bloomberg, L.P. indicating the VWAP for each of the Trading Days during the Pricing Period (or, if not reported on Bloomberg, L.P., another reporting service reasonably agreed to by the parties), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
| (b) | Promptly after receipt of the Settlement Document with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than one Trading Day after such receipt), the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Settlement Document) by crediting the Investor’s account or its designee’s account at the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, and transmit notification to the Investor that such share transfer has been requested. Promptly upon receipt of such notification, the Investor shall pay to the Company the aggregate purchase price of the Shares (as set forth in the Settlement Document) in cash in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested. No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued in connection with an Advance shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares. To facilitate the transfer of the Ordinary Shares by the Investor, the Ordinary Shares will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of such Ordinary Shares (it being understood and agreed by the Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive legends, the Investor may only sell such Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan of Distribution set forth in the Prospectus included in the applicable Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements) or pursuant to an available exemption). |
| (c) | On or prior to the Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein. |
| (d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period (i) the Company notifies the Investor that a Material Outside Event has occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period, the parties agree that the pending Advance shall end and the final number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for such Advance shall be equal to the number of Ordinary Shares sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the notification from the Company of a Material Outside Event or Black Out Period. |

Section 2.03 Hardship. In the event the Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in this Agreement after the Investor’s receipt of an Advance Notice, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Article V hereto and in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor is entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance, it will hold the Investor harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and acknowledges that irreparable damage may occur in the event of any such default. It is accordingly agreed that the Investor shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce (subject to Applicable Laws and the rules of the Principal Market), without the posting of a bond or other security, the terms and provisions of this Agreement. In the event the Company provides an Advance Notice and the Investor fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.02, the Investor agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Article V hereto and in addition to any other remedy to which the Company is entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance, it will hold the Company harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses, but excluding punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential damages), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Investor and acknowledges that irreparable damage may occur in the event of any such default.

The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the actual and reasonable third party fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.

Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and payment therefor is due.
Section 5.04 Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any right or remedy which may be available to any indemnified person at law or equity. The obligations of the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article V shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Exhibit 99.1
Inspira Announces $1.8 Million Registered Direct Offering Priced At-The-Market and Additional Equity Financing Agreement to Support Ongoing Commercial Execution
RA’ANANA, Israel, Dec. 15, 2025 -- Inspira™ Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ: IINN, IINNW) (“Inspira,” “Inspira Technologies,” or the “Company”), a pioneer in innovative life-support and diagnostic technologies, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA”) for a registered direct offering of its ordinary shares, and has also entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA providing additional equity financing flexibility.
Inspira has entered into a definitive agreement for the issuance and sale, in a registered direct offering, of an aggregate of 1,565,217 ordinary shares at a purchase price of $1.15 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.8 million.
The offering is expected to close on or about December 16, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The ordinary shares are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-289324), which was declared effective by the SEC on December 12, 2025. The offering of such securities is being made only by means of a prospectus supplement that forms a part of the registration statement.
In addition, the Company has entered into the SEPA with YA, pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $25 million of its ordinary shares over a 36-month period, at the Company’s discretion by issuing advance notices to YA following the effectiveness of a registration statement with the SEC registering the ordinary shares issuable pursuant to the SEPA . The Company is not required to draw on the facility and there are no minimum purchase requirements.
Transaction Highlights:
| ● | Registered Direct Offering: The Company has entered into a definitive agreement for the issuance and sale of ordinary shares at a purchase price of $1.15 per share, priced at-the-market, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $1.8 million. |
| ● | SEPA: To ensure long-term financial flexibility, the Company has also entered into a SEPA with YA. This facility provides the Company with the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $25 million of its ordinary shares to YA over a 36-month period. |
| o | The Company emphasizes that it is not required to draw on this facility and there are no minimum purchase requirements. Sales under the SEPA are at the Company’s sole discretion, allowing for opportunistic capital raising if and when needed. |
The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the registered direct offering, and any future proceeds from the SEPA, for working capital and general corporate purposes, specifically to support the Company’s strategic roadmap and planned operations.
“This financing creates a robust financial foundation for Inspira Technologies as we move decisively to translate our recent progress into meaningful commercial growth,” said Dagi Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of Inspira Technologies. “By securing immediate capital while simultaneously establishing a flexible long-term equity facility in the SEPA, we believe that we have strengthened our ability to advance key initiatives and support ongoing operations. This structure allows us to pursue our broader strategic objectives and brings the next phase of our development to fruition with greater financial flexibility.”
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
