Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
iBOT Acquisition
On December 31, 2023, Citrine Global, Corp. (the “Company” or “Citrine Global”) executed and consummated the Share Purchase and Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd. (“iBOT”) and the iBOT shareholders (the “iBOT Shareholders”), pursuant to which Citrine Global received a 19% equity stake in iBOT on a fully diluted basis. The consideration for the equity was the issuance to iBOT of 70,370,370 shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated at a per share price of $0.027, representing the highest closing price of the Company’s common stock during the 30-day period preceding the authorization of the Company’s board of directors of the transaction. The purchase price for the iBOT equity of $10,000,000 was based on the discounted pre-company valuation of iBOT prepared by an independent third party valuator commissioned by Citrine Global. The transaction was previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2023.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Citrine Global was granted an option, exercisable through June 30, 2024, to increase the Company’s shareholdings in iBOT to 51% of iBOT’s equity on a fully diluted basis. If such option is exercised, the consideration for the increased equity position will consist of a combination of shares and cash, as agreed by the Company and iBOT, provided that (i) any shares issued by the Company in consideration for iBOT equity will be calculated a per share price of $0.027; and (ii) the cash component must be sufficient to cover iBOT’s operating budget, which will be pre-approved by the Company, for a 24 month period after the exercise of the option.
The Agreement includes a no-shop clause pursuant to which neither iBOT nor any of the iBOT Shareholders will solicit or engage in negotiations for the sale of its shares, assets, or technology with any third party for as long as Citrine Global’s option is outstanding. The Agreement also includes customary closing deliveries, disclosures, and representations by both Citrine Global and iBOT and customary indemnities by iBOT.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the document, which is attached as Exhibit 10.14 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On December 31, 2023, the board of directors of Citrine Global (the “Board”) determined to grant to directors set forth below restricted shares under the Company’s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan. The shares are vested upon grant and are subject to the execution by each recipient of the Company’s standard stock purchase agreement.

| Ilanit Halperin (Director and CFO) | 14,700,000 | |
| David Kretzmer (Director) | 7,525,000 | |

All tax implications relating to the shares will be borne solely by the directors.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On December 31, 2023, the Board of Citrine Global determined not to exercise the option previously granted to Citrine Global by MyPlant Bio Ltd. (“MyPlant”) to acquire an additional 45% equity stake in MyPlant. Citrine Global holds as of December 2022 a 10% equity stake in MyPlant.
To the extent that Citrine Global determines that it desires to utilize the services of MyPlant for the development of any future product, then Citrine Global intends to utilize the services of MyPlant, subject to mutual agreement on the terms thereof.

This Share Purchase and Option Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made as of December 31, 2023, by and among Citrine Global, Corp., a company incorporated under the laws of Delaware (“Citrine Global”), iBOT Israel Botanicals Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, registration number 516012739 (“iBOT”), and Citrine SAL Investment and Holdings, and Citrine 9 LP (collectively, the “iBOT Shareholders”). Each of Citrine, iBOT and the IBOT Shareholders shall be referred hereto as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
WHEREAS, on November 19, 2023 Citrine Global and iBOT entered into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) pursuant to which (i) Citrine Global received an 19% equity stake in iBOT on a fully diluted basis in consideration for which Citrine will issue to iBOT 70,370,370 shares of the Citrine Global’s common stock and (ii) Citrine was granted an option, exercisable through June 30, 2024, to increase the Company’s shareholdings in iBOT to a total of 51% of iBOT’s equity on a fully diluted basis; and
WHEREAS, the Parties had determined that the purchase price for the 51% iBOT equity was based on the discounted pre-company valuation of $10,000,000 as determined by an independent third-party valuator; and
WHEREAS, the Parties had agreed that all share issuances by Citrine to iBOT would be calculated at a per share price of $0.027, representing the highest closing price of Citrine’s common stock during the 30-day period preceding the authorization of the transaction by the board of directors of Citrine; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to prepare this Agreement and any other documents and agreements appropriate for transactions of this nature in accordance with the terms of the LOI; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, and good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale; Option.
1.1. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below),
(a) iBOT shall issue to Citrine Global such number of ordinary shares of iBOT, which as of the Closing shall represent 19% of the issued and outstanding share capital (the “Initial iBOT Shares”) on a Fully Diluted Basis; and
(b) Citrine shall issue to iBOT 70,370,370 shares of common stock of Citrine (the “Consideration Shares”).
For purposes hereof, “Fully Diluted Basis” shall mean share capital of iBOT on an as-converted basis, including all shares issued and outstanding (whether ordinary shares, preferred shares, or otherwise), as well as all shares issuable assuming the exercise, conversion or exchange into shares of all warrants, options, notes, debentures, or other rights, securities, agreements or other commitments which by their terms are exchangeable, exercisable or convertible (taking into account anti-dilution or other similar rights), directly or indirectly, for or into the share capital of iBOT, whether or not vested, and whether outstanding, promised or contingent, including without limitation, all options granted to employees, consultants, service providers, officers and directors, whether or not any options thereunder are then outstanding or promised, provided, that, equity linked securities issued to employees or other service providers, including officers and directors shall not be included in this calculation.
1.2 iBOT and the iBOT Shareholders hereby grant Citrine Global an irrevocable, non-transferable option (the “Option”), exercisable in Citrine Global’s sole discretion through June 30, 2024 (the “Option Exercise Period”), to purchase from iBOT and/or the iBOT Shareholders, based solely in the discretion of iBOT, an additional number of ordinary shares of iBOT such that following such purchase, Citrine Global shall own an aggregate of 51% of the issued and outstanding share capital of iBOT on a Fully Diluted Basis (such shares, the “ Option Shares”). If the Option is exercised by Citrine Global, the purchase price for the exercise of the Option shall be either in cash and/or shares of stock to be issued by Citrine Global, as agreed to among the Parties, provided, however, that (i) the shares of Citrine Global common stock to be issued in consideration for the Option Shares shall be based on $0.027 per share; (ii) the cash portion of the consideration to be paid to iBOT shall be sufficient to cover the operating budget of iBOT which is pre-approved by Citrine Global for the no less than 24 months after the exercise of the Option; and (iii) the final consideration payable by Citrine Global for the increase in the equity of iBOT (commencing from the date hereof until the exercise of the Option by Citrine Global) shall be negotiated among the Parties.
The exercise of Option by Citrine Global is expressly subject to satisfactory results, as deemed by Citrine Global, of the due diligence on the iBOT and its business and prospects.
1.3 If Citrine exercises the Option, , iBOT agrees that it will make representations and warranties in writing to Citrine Global customary for the acquisition of the Option Shares to a person acquiring majority control of a company. iBOT will also, at the expense of Citrine Global, deliver any financial statements then required by Citrine Global. iBOT and Citrine Global will agree on revisions to iBOT organizational documents, including addressing iBOT the size and composition of iBOT’s board of directors.

iBOT is sophisticated and, together with its advisers, if any, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the sale of the Consideration Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Consideration Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto. iBOT acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in Citrine and has the capacity to protect its own interests.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”).
