process, we may offer and sell our securities under this prospectus. In this prospectus, the terms the “Company,” “SuperCom,” “we”, “us” and “our” and similar designations refer to SuperCom, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. All
references to “dollars” or “$” in this prospectus are to U.S. dollars, and all references to “shekels” or “NIS” are to New Israeli Shekels.
Under this shelf process, we may sell the securities described in this prospectus, including the securities carried forward from the Prior Shelf Registration Statement, in one or
more offerings up to a total price to the public of $50,000,000. The offer and sale of securities under this prospectus may be made from time to time, in one or more offerings, in any manner described under the section in this prospectus entitled
“Plan of Distribution.”
The aggregate amount of securities that we may offer under the registration statement is $50,000,000, denominated in U.S. dollars or the equivalent in foreign currencies, currency
units or composite currencies. We are subject to the provisions of General Instruction I.B.5. of the General Instructions to Form F-3, which provide that as long as the aggregate market value of our outstanding voting and non-voting ordinary shares
held by non-affiliates of our company is less than $75,000,000, then the aggregate market value of securities sold by us or on our behalf on Form F-3, during the period of 12 calendar months immediately prior to, and including, the sale, is no more
than one-third of the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of our company. We have no outstanding non-voting ordinary shares.
This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain
specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus, and may also contain information about any material federal income tax considerations relating
to the securities covered by the prospectus supplement. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain

Founded in 1988, we are a global provider of traditional and digital identity solutions, advanced Internet of Things (IoT) and connectivity solutions, and cyber security products
and solutions, to governments and private and public organizations throughout the world.
We are comprised of three main Strategic Business Units (SBU): e-Gov, IoT and Connectivity, and Cyber Security:
e-Gov
Through our proprietary e-Government platforms and innovative solutions for traditional and biometrics enrollment, personalization, issuance and border control services, we have
helped governments and national agencies design and issue secured multi-identification, or Multi-ID, documents and robust digital identity solutions to their citizens, visitors and Lands.
We have focused on expanding our activities in the traditional identification, or ID, and electronic identification, or e-Gov, market, including the design, development and
marketing of identification technologies and solutions to governments in Europe, Asia, America and Africa using our e-Government platforms. Our activities include: (i) utilizing paper secured by different levels of security patterns (UV, holograms,
etc.); and (ii) electronic identification secured by biometric data, principally in connection with the issuance of national Multi-ID documents (IDs, passports, driver’s licenses, vehicle permits, and visas, Secure Land Certificated) border control
applications and Land Information System (LIS).
IoT and Connectivity
Our IoT products and solutions reliably identify, track and monitor people or objects in real time, enabling our customers to detect unauthorized movement of people, vehicles and
other monitored objects. We provide all-in-one field proven IoT suite, accompanied with services specifically tailored to meet the requirements of an IoT solutions. Our proprietary IoT suite of hybrid hardware, connectivity and software components
are the foundation of these solutions and services. Our IoT division has primarily focused on growing the following markets: (i) public safety; (ii) healthcare and homecare; (iii) Smart Cities (iv) Smart Campus and (iv) transportation.
During 2006, we identified the growing electronic tracking and monitoring vertical markets for public safety, real time healthcare and homecare, and transportation management. We
have developed the PureRF Hybrid suite of wrist devices, connectivity, and controlling software, from 2012 we have developed the next generation IoT suite of devices, connectivity and Monitoring software; the PureSecurity Hybrid Suite of wrist band,
tags, beacons, PureCom, Pure Monitors, PureTrack and other components.
On January 1, 2016 we acquired Leaders in Community Alternatives, Inc. (“LCA”). LCA is a California based, private criminal justice organization, providing community-based services
and electronic monitoring programs to government agencies in the U.S. for more than 25 years. LCA offers a broad range of competitive solutions for governmental institutions across the U.S. in addressing realignment strategies and plans.
Connectivity
In 2016, as part of our strategy to enhance and broaden our IoT connectivity products and solutions offerings for public safety, enterprises, hospitality and smart cities markets,
on May 18, 2016, we acquired Alvarion Technologies Ltd., or Alvarion. Alvarion designs solutions for carrier wi-fi, enterprise connectivity, smart city, smart hospitality, connected campuses and connected events that are both complete and
heterogeneous to ensure ease-of-use and optimize operational efficiency. Carriers, local governments and hospitality sectors worldwide deploy Alvarion’s intelligent wi-fi networks to enhance productivity and performance, as well as its legacy
backhaul services and products.
2
Cyber Security
During 2015, we identified the cyber security market as a very fast-growing market where we believe that SuperCom has major advantages due to synergic technologies and shared
customer base to our e-Gov, IoT and connectivity SBUs. In 2015, we acquired Prevision Ltd., or Prevision, a company with a strong presence in the market and a broad range of competitive and well-known cyber security services. During the first quarter
of 2016, we acquired Safend Ltd, or Safend, an international provider of cutting-edge endpoint data protection guarding against corporate data loss and theft through content discovery and inspection, encryption methodologies, and comprehensive device
and port control. Safend maps sensitive information and controls data flow through email, web, external devices and additional channels.
Both acquisitions significantly expanded the breadth of our cyber security capabilities globally, while providing us with outstanding market and technological experts and over
3,000 customers in the United States, Europe, and Asia, and more than three million software license seats deployed by multinational enterprises, government agencies and small to mid-size companies around the globe, together with leading data and
cyber security platforms and technologies.
Statements made in this Registration Statement on Form F-3 (this “Registration Statement”) concerning the contents of any contract, agreement or other document are summaries of
such contracts, agreements or documents and are not complete descriptions of all their terms. If we filed any of these documents as an exhibit to this Registration Statement or to any previous filing with SEC, you may read the document itself for a
complete recitation of its terms.
In this Registration Statement, unless otherwise specified or unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “$” or “dollars” are to U.S. dollars and all references to
“NIS” are to New Israeli Shekels. Except as otherwise indicated, the financial statements of and information regarding SuperCom are presented in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles in the United States (“U.S.
GAAP”). The representative rate exchange rate between the NIS and the dollar as published by the Bank of Israel and effective on December 31, 2024, was NIS 3.647 per $1.00.
Corporate Information
We were organized under the laws of the State of Israel on July 4, 1988. We were incorporated in the State of Israel pursuant to the provisions of the then-current Israeli
Companies Ordinance. The legislative framework within which we now operate is the Israeli Companies Law, which became effective on February 1, 2000, and the Israeli Companies Ordinance (New Version) 1983, as amended (the “Companies Ordinance”). Our
principal executive offices are located at 3 Rothschild Street, Tel Aviv, Israel and our telephone number is +972-9-8890850. Our website address is http://www.supercom.com, where we regularly post copies of our press releases as well as additional

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected by any of these risks.
You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed under the caption "Item 3D “Key Information - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2023,

This prospectus contains a summary of the material general terms of these securities that we may offer. The specific terms of the securities will be described in a prospectus
supplement, information incorporated by reference, or free writing prospectus, which may be in addition to or different from the general terms summarized in this prospectus. Where applicable, the prospectus supplement, information incorporated by
reference or free writing prospectus will also describe any material United States federal income tax considerations relating to the securities offered and indicate whether the securities offered are or will be listed on any securities exchange.
The summaries contained in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplements, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus may not contain all of the
information that you would find useful. Accordingly, you should read the actual documents relating to any securities sold pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and
“Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” for information about how to obtain copies of those documents.
The terms of any particular offering, the initial offering price and the net proceeds to our Company will be contained in the applicable prospectus supplement, information
incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, relating to such offering. The supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement will contain the
material terms and conditions for each security. You should carefully read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement before you invest in any of our securities.
A description of our ordinary shares, par value NIS 50 per share, can be found in Item 10.B. of our 2023 Form 20-F. We are currently authorized to issue 5,000,000 ordinary shares
of which 2,127,322 ordinary shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
On August 22, 2024, we effected at the market level a 1-for-20 reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of all of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. As a result of the Reverse
Split, all of our options, warrants and convertible securities outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split were adjusted by dividing the number of ordinary shares into which the options and warrants are exercisable and the convertible
securities are convertible by 20 and multiplying the exercise price or the conversion price thereof by 20, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such securities.
Our board of directors may from time to time be authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law and subject to a vote or action by our shareholders, to issue from time to
time shares of our preferred shares in one or more series. Each such series of preferred shares shall have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be
determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights. Issuance of preferred shares by our board of directors may result in such shares
having dividend and/or liquidation preferences senior to the rights of the holders of our ordinary shares and could dilute the voting rights of the holders of our ordinary shares.
Subject to any limitations prescribed by law and subject to a vote or action by our shareholders granting our board of directors the authority to create preferred shares, our board
of directors shall fix for each class or series the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, including, but not limited to, some or all of the following:
| • |
the designation of such series, the number of preferred shares to constitute such series and the subscription price thereof if different from the par value;
|
| • |
whether the preferred shares of such series shall have voting rights, in addition to any voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights, which may be general or limited;
|
6
•
| • |
the dividends, if any, payable on such series, whether any such dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from what dates, the conditions and dates upon which such dividends shall be payable, and the preference or relation which such
dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any shares of any other class or any other series of shares;
|
| • |
whether the preferred shares of such series shall be subject to redemption by our Company, and, if so, the times, prices and other conditions of such redemption;
|
| • |
whether the preferred shares of such series shall have any rights to receive any part of the assets available for distribution upon the liquidation of our Company, and, if so, the terms of such liquidation preference, and the relation
which such liquidation preference shall bear to the entitlements of the holders of shares of any other class or any other series of shares;
|
| • |
whether the preferred shares of such series shall be subject to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund and, if so, the extent to and manner in which any such retirement or sinking fund shall be applied to the purchase or redemption
of the preferred shares of such series for retirement or other corporate purposes and the terms and provisions relative to the operation thereof;
|
| • |
whether the preferred shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or any other series of preferred shares or any other securities and, if so, the price or prices or the rate or rates of
conversion or exchange and the method, if any, of adjusting the same, and any other terms and conditions of conversion or exchange;
|

securities. We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we may issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into a warrant agreement with a warrant agent. We may also choose to act as our own warrant agent. We will

Amendments and Supplements to Warrant Agreement
We and the warrant agent may amend or supplement the warrant agreement for a series of warrants without the consent of the holders of the warrants issued thereunder to effect
changes that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the warrants and that do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants.
Outstanding Warrants
A description of our outstanding warrants can be found in the notes to our financial statements included in our 2023 Form 20-F and in our Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our
Registration Statement on Form F-1, filed with the SEC on September 11, 2024.
We may issue subscription rights to purchase our ordinary shares, preferred shares or debt securities. These subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any
other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the shareholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more
underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.
The prospectus supplement relating to any subscription rights we offer, if any, will, to the extent applicable, include specific terms relating to the offering, including some or
all of the following:
| • |
the price, if any, for the subscription rights;
|
| • |
the exercise price payable for each ordinary share or preferred share upon the exercise of the subscription rights, or the conversion price, if any, of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;
|
| • |
the number of subscription rights to be issued to each shareholder;
|
| • |
the number and terms of the ordinary shares or preferred shares which may be purchased per each subscription right, or the aggregate principal amount of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;
|
| • |
the extent to which the subscription rights are transferable;
|
| • |
any other terms of the subscription rights, including the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the subscription rights;
|
| • |
the date on which the right to exercise the subscription rights shall commence, and the date on which the subscription rights shall expire;
|
| • |
the extent to which the subscription rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities; and
|
| • |
if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement which may be entered into by us in connection with the offering of subscription rights.
|
Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of our ordinary shares, preferred shares or debt securities at the exercise
price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the
expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.
If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our Company’s security holders,
to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any subscription rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to
the applicable subscription right agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer subscription rights. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the applicable subscription right agreement if we offer subscription rights, see
“Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 14. We urge you to read the applicable subscription right agreement and any applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety.

effect on the date of the indenture. The indenture will be subject to and governed by the terms of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
We may issue the debt securities in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium, or at a discount. We will describe the particular terms of each
series of debt securities in a prospectus supplement relating to that series, which we will file with the SEC.

One or more debt securities may be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount. We may also issue debt securities in bearer form, with or without coupons. If
we issue discount debt securities or debt securities in bearer form, we will describe material U.S. federal income tax considerations and other material special considerations which apply to these debt securities in the applicable prospectus
supplement.
We may issue debt securities denominated in or payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units. If we do, we will describe the restrictions,
elections, and general tax considerations relating to the debt securities and the foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified
in the prospectus supplement. Global securities will be issued in registered form and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for individual debt securities, a global security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a
successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon owners of beneficial interests in a global security
will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We may issue units comprised of one or more of the securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit
is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included
in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time, or at any time before a specified date.
The prospectus supplement relating to any units we offer, if any, will, to the extent applicable, include specific terms relating to the offering, including some or all of the
following:
| • |
the material terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
|
| • |
any material provisions relating to the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and
|
| • |
any material provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described above.
|
The description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any units we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable
unit agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer units. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the applicable unit agreement if we offer units, see “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 14. We urge you to
read the applicable unit agreement and any applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety.
The securities being offered by this prospectus may be sold:
| • |
through agents;
|
| • |
to or through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or agency basis;
|
| • |
through put or call option transactions relating to the securities;
|
10
| • |
to or through dealers, who may act as agents or principals, including a block trade (which may involve crosses) in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
| • |
through privately negotiated transactions;
|
| • |
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
|
| • |
directly to purchasers, including our affiliates, through a specific bidding or auction process, on a negotiated basis or otherwise; to or through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;
|
| • |
exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions;
|
| • |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
|
| • |
in “at-the-market” offerings, within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;
|
| • |
transactions not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales or privately negotiated transactions;
|
| • |
transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives that may or may not be listed on an exchange or
|
| • |
through any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law; or
|
| • |
through a combination of any such methods of sale.
|
At any time a particular offer of the securities covered by this prospectus is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set
forth the aggregate amount of securities covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents, any discounts, commissions, concessions and other items
constituting compensation from us and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. Such prospectus supplement, and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part, will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus. In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the
securities sold under this prospectus may only be sold through registered or licensed broker-dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an
exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
The distribution of securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including block transactions and transactions on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any
other organized market where the securities may be traded. The securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to the prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices. The consideration may be cash or another form negotiated by the parties. Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for offering and selling the securities. That compensation may be in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions to be received from us or from the purchasers of the securities. Any dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of
the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If any such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
Agents may from time to time solicit offers to purchase the securities. If required, we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of
the securities and set forth any compensation payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. Any agent selling the securities covered
by this prospectus may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities.
11
If underwriters are used in a sale, securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including
negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments. Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting
syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If an underwriter or underwriters are used in the sale of securities, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter
or underwriters, as well as any other underwriter or underwriters, with respect to a particular underwritten offering of securities, and will set forth the terms of the transactions, including compensation of the underwriters and dealers and the
public offering price, if applicable. The prospectus and prospectus supplement will be used by the underwriters to resell the securities.
If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities, we or an underwriter will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the
public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transactions.
We may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities and may make sales of securities directly to institutional investors or others. These persons may be deemed to be
underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. To the extent required, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any such sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if
used.
Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification by us against specified liabilities, including liabilities
incurred under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. If required, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms and conditions of the indemnification or contribution.
Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers, or their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our subsidiaries.
Any person participating in the distribution of securities registered under the registration statement that includes this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our securities by that person.
Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to our securities. These restrictions may affect the marketability of our securities and
the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to our securities.
Certain persons participating in an offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions, penalty bids and other transactions that
stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the offered securities. These activities may maintain the price of the offered securities at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market, including by entering stabilizing
bids, effecting syndicate covering transactions or imposing penalty bids, each of which is described below.
| • |
A stabilizing bid means the placing of any bid, or the effecting of any purchase, for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of a security.
|
| • |
A syndicate covering transaction means the placing of any bid on behalf of the underwriting syndicate or the effecting of any purchase to reduce a short position created in connection with the offering.
|
| • |
A penalty bid means an arrangement that permits the managing underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member in connection with the offering when offered securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased
in syndicate covering transactions.
|
These transactions may be effected on an exchange or automated quotation system, if the securities are listed on that exchange or admitted for trading on that automated quotation
system, or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase offered
securities from us at the public offering price set forth in such prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject only to those
conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.
In addition, ordinary shares may be issued upon conversion of or in exchange for debt securities or other securities.
12
Any underwriters to whom offered securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such offered securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so
and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The offered securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. No assurance can be given that there will be a market for the offered securities.
Any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, may be sold under Rule 144 or Regulation S rather than pursuant to this
prospectus.
To the extent that we make sales to or through one or more underwriters or agents in at-the-market offerings, we will do so pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement
between us and the underwriters or agents. If we engage in at-the-market sales pursuant to a distribution agreement, we will sell our ordinary shares to or through one or more underwriters or agents, which may act on an agency basis or on a principal
basis. During the term of any such agreement, we may sell ordinary shares on a daily basis in exchange transactions or otherwise as we agree with the underwriters or agents. The distribution agreement will provide that any ordinary shares sold will
be sold at prices related to the then prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares. Therefore, exact figures regarding proceeds that will be raised or commissions to be paid cannot be determined at this time and will be described in a prospectus
supplement. Pursuant to the terms of the distribution agreement, we also may agree to sell, and the relevant underwriters or agents may agree to solicit offers to purchase blocks of our ordinary shares or warrants. The terms of each such distribution
agreement will be set forth in more detail in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus.
In connection with offerings made through underwriters or agents, we may enter into agreements with such underwriters or agents pursuant to which we receive our outstanding
securities in consideration for the securities being offered to the public for cash. In connection with these arrangements, the underwriters or agents may also sell securities covered by this prospectus to hedge their positions in these outstanding
securities, including in short sale transactions. If so, the underwriters or agents may use the securities received from us under these arrangements to close out any related open borrowings of securities.
We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the
applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, such third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short
sale transactions. If so, such third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of shares, and may use securities
received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of shares. The third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) in such sale transactions will be underwriters and, if not identified in this prospectus,
will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).
We may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus. Such financial institution or third
party may transfer its short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a simultaneous offering of other securities offered by this prospectus or in connection with a simultaneous offering of other securities offered by this
prospectus.
Certain legal matters with respect to Israeli law and with respect to the validity of the offered securities under Israeli law will be passed upon for us by S. Friedman & Co.
Certain legal matters with respect to U.S. federal securities law and New York law will be passed upon for us by Foley Shechter Ablovatskiy LLP. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us or any underwriters, dealers or agents, by counsel
that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss, changes in
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes, incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been so incorporated by
reference in reliance on the report of Yarel + Partners, Certified Public Accountant (Isr.), an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-3 under the Securities Act, with respect to the securities offered by this prospectus. However, as is permitted by the
rules and regulations of the SEC, this prospectus, which is part of our registration statement on Form F-3, omits certain non-material information, exhibits, schedules and undertakings set forth in the registration statement. For further information
about us, and the securities offered by this prospectus, please refer to the registration statement.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to a foreign private issuer. In accordance with the Exchange Act, we file reports, including
Annual Reports on Form 20-F by April 30 of each year. We also furnish to the SEC under cover of Form 6-K material information required to be made public in Israel, filed with and made public by any stock exchange or distributed by us to our
shareholders.
The registration statement on Form F-3 of which this prospectus forms a part, including the exhibits and schedules thereto, and reports and other information filed by us with the
SEC may be inspected without charge and copied at prescribed rates at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of this material are also available by mail from the Public Reference Section of the SEC, at
100 F. Street, N.E., Washington D.C. 20549, at prescribed rates. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements to shareholders and our officers,
directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the “short-swing profits” reporting and liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related Exchange Act rules.
We file annual and special reports and other information with the SEC. These filings contain important information which does not appear in this prospectus. The SEC allows us to
“incorporate by reference” information into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to other documents which we have filed or will file with the SEC. We are incorporating by reference in this
prospectus the documents listed below and all amendments or supplements we may file to such documents, as well as any future filings we may make with the SEC on Form 20-F under the Exchange Act before the time that all of the securities offered by
this prospectus have been sold or de-registered:
| • |
our Annual Report on Form 20-F/A for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024;
|
| • |
our Report on Form 6-K, filed with the SEC on September 3, 2024, that contains our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial

Certain statements in and portions of this prospectus update and replace information in the above listed documents incorporated by reference. Likewise, statements in or portions of
a future document incorporated by reference in this prospectus may update and replace statements in and portions of this prospectus or the above listed documents.
We will provide you without charge, upon your written or oral request, a copy of any of the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, other than exhibits to such
documents which are not specifically incorporated by reference into such documents. Please direct your written or telephone requests to SuperCom Ltd., 3 Rothschild Street, Tel-Aviv, Israel, Attn: Ordan Trabelsi, Chief Executive Officer, telephone

The information relating to us contained in this prospectus is not comprehensive and should be read together with the information contained in the incorporated documents.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in this prospectus,
substantially all of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside the United
States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.
It may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities
laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be
applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a United States judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is
non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that:
| • |
the judgments are obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel;
|
| • |
the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgments were rendered allows the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (however, the Israeli courts may waive this requirement following a request by the attorney general);
|
| • |
adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence;
|
| • |
the judgments are not contrary to public policy, and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment does not impair the security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
|
| • |
the judgments were not obtained by fraud and do not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;
|
| • |
an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court; and
|
| • |
the obligations under the judgment are enforceable according to the laws of the State of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted.
|
15
We have irrevocably appointed SuperCom, Inc. as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any United States federal or state court arising out of this
offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering.
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out
of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date
of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest
at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.
The following table sets forth the expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, if
any) expected to be incurred by us in connection with a possible offering of securities registered under this registration statement.

Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Exculpation of Office Holders
Under the Israeli Companies Law (“Companies Law”), an Israeli company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for breach of his duty of loyalty, but may exculpate in
advance an office holder from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for a breach of his duty of care, provided the articles of association of the company allow it to do so. Our Articles of Association allow us to exculpate our office holders
from liability towards us for breach of duty of care to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Office Holder Insurance
Our Articles of Association provide that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, we may enter into a contract for the insurance of the liability of any of our office
holders for any act done by him or her by virtue of being an office holder, in respect of any of the following:
| • |
a breach of duty of care towards us or any other person;
|
| • |
a breach of fiduciary obligations towards us, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that his or her act would not be to our detriment;
|
| • |
a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person; or
|
| • |
any other event for which insurance of an office holder is or may be permitted.
|
Indemnification of Office Holders
Our Articles of Association provide that we may indemnify an office holder for the following cases of liability and expenses incurred by him or her as a result of an act done by
him or her by virtue of being an office holder:
| • |
financial liability imposed upon said office holder in favor of another person by virtue of a decision by a court of law, including a decision by way of settlement or a decision in arbitration which has been confirmed by a court of law;
|
| • |
reasonable expenses of the proceedings, including lawyers’ fees, expended by the office holder or imposed on him by the court for:
|
| (1) |
proceedings issued against him by or on behalf of our company or by a third party;
|
| (2) |
criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted;
|
| (3) |
criminal proceedings in which he was convicted in an offense, which did not require proof of criminal intent; or
|
| (4) |
any other liability or expense for which the indemnification of an officer holder is not precluded by law.
|
We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of our office holders. In addition, we have granted indemnification letters to our office holders.
Limitations on Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification
The Companies Law provides that a company may not exculpate or indemnify an office holder, or enter into an insurance contract, which would provide coverage for any monetary
liability incurred as a result of any of the following:
| • |
a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of loyalty towards the company unless, with respect to insurance coverage, the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the
company;
|
| • |
a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of care if the breach was done intentionally or recklessly;
|
| • |
any act or omission done with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or
|
| • |
any fine levied against the office holder.
|
Required Approvals
In addition, under the Companies Law, any exculpation of, indemnification of, or procurement of insurance coverage for, our office holders must be approved by our audit committee
and our board of directors and, if the beneficiary is a director, an additional approval by our shareholders is required.

Item 10. Undertakings
(1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
|
|
(i)
|
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
and
|
II - 3
|
|
(iii)
|
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
|
provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act that are incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the Registration Statement.
(b) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(d) to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed
offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective
amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial
statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the Form F-3.
(e) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
|
|
(i)
|
each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be a part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and
included in the registration statement; and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule
415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of
prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that
date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that
was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
|
II - 4
(f) that, for the purpose of determining liability of a registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or
sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
|
|
(i)
|
any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by an undersigned registrant;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant; and
|
|
|
(iv)
|
any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
|
(2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referred
to in Item 8, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the
time it was declared effective.
(5) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(6) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture
Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
II - 5
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it complies with all of the requirements for filing on
Form F-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Tel Aviv, Israel on January 10, 2025.

that class, be deemed to be modified by the creation or issue of shares of a different class.
|
(b) Unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issuance of particular class of shares, the Company may create or change rights, preferences, restrictions and provisions
related to one or more of the classes of shares, after receipt of consent in writing of all Shareholders of the affected class, or a Resolution passed at a General Meeting of such class. These Articles will apply, as applicable, to every such
separate General Meeting of a class.
| 19. |
The rights applicable to any shares, whether in the original Share Capital or any increased Share Capital, may be changed according to the provisions of these Articles, provided however, that the Company will not disparately reduce or
restrict the existing Shareholders' voting rights through any corporate action or issuance.
|
Repurchase of shares
| 20. |
The Company may, at any time and from time to time, subject to the Law, purchase back or finance the purchase of any shares or other securities issued by the Company, in such manner and under such terms as the Board of Directors shall
determine, whether from any one or more Shareholders. Such purchase shall not be deemed a payment of dividends; and no Shareholder will have the right to require the Company to purchase his shares or to offer to purchase shares from any
other Shareholder.
|
Share Register and Share Certificates
| 21. |
The Company will maintain a Register of Shareholders according to the Law. The Company may maintain the Register of Shareholders or one or two branch Registers of Shareholders, in Israel or another jurisdiction, which will be
considered as part of the Register.
|
| 22. |
The Company will not be bound by or required to recognize any right or interest in any share other than rights or interests of the Shareholder duly registered in the Register or otherwise proven in accordance with these Articles and
the Law.
|
| 23. |
Every person whose name duly appears as a shareholder in the Register or who otherwise establishes proof of ownership in accordance with these Articles and the Law, will have the right without payment to receive, within two (2) months
after allotment or registration of transfer (unless the conditions of allotment or transfer provide for a longer period), a stamped certificate for all the shares registered in his name. The certificate will specify the number of shares
for which it is issued. In case of joint Shareholders the Company will not be required to issue more than one certificate to all the joint Shareholders. Delivery of a certificate to any of the joint Shareholders will be sufficient
delivery to all. Every certificate will be signed by two Directors and countersigned by the Secretary or by other persons nominated by the Board of Directors for that purpose. The Company may withhold the issue of share certificates for
shares not fully paid up.
|
| 24. |
If any share certificate will be defaced, worn out, destroyed or lost, it may be replaced following production of any evidence, provision of any indemnity and payment of any of the Company's out of pocket expenses as the Board of
Directors will require. In case of defacement or wearing out, replacement will require delivery of the old certificate.
|
Share Warrants, Options and Debentures
| 25. |
The Company may issue from time to time share warrants, options on shares, debentures and similar forms of securities. The price, terms and conditions of any such securities will be determined by the Board of Directors.

determined by the Board of Directors, either in general or with respect to a particular issue.
|
Lien on Shares
| 27. |
The Company will have a lien on every share for all amounts payable by a shareholder in respect of such share, whether or not such payables have matured. However, the Board of Directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or
partly exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company's lien, if any, on a share will extend to all dividends payable on that share.
|
| 28. |
The Company may sell any shares on which it has a lien at such time and in such manner as will be determined by the Board of Directors. However, no sale will be made prior to the lapse of fourteen (14) days from the date of sending a
notice in writing to the registered Shareholders, demanding payment of such sum and giving notice of the Company's intention to sell in default. To give effect to any such sale, the Board of Directors may authorize transfer of the shares
sold to the purchaser who will be registered as the holder of the Shares. The Company will receive the net proceeds of the sale which will be applied in payment of the sum then payable on the lien. The balance of the sale proceeds, if
any, will be paid to the person holding the shares immediately prior to the sale, subject to any lien for sums that were not currently payable for the shares prior to the sale.
|
Calls on Shares; Forfeiture of Shares
| 29. |
The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, from time to time authorize the amount and manner of the consideration to be given to the Company for shares. The Board may also make calls on Shareholders for any moneys unpaid on their
shares. Each Shareholder will be liable to pay the amount of every call so made on him to the persons and at the times, places and installments specified by the Board. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Board may determine.
|
| 30. |
A call will be considered to have been made, at the time the Board of Directors approves the resolution authorizing such call.
|
| 31. |
The joint shareholders of a share will be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all calls and related installments.
|
| 32. |
The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, authorize receipt of advances from any shareholder relating to future calls on shares. The Board may authorize interest to be paid as may be agreed with the advancing shareholder.
|
| 33. |
Any sum that, by the terms of a share, is payable upon the share's allotment or at any fixed date, will be considered to be a call duly made and payable on the date fixed for such payment. In case of non-payment of such sum, the
relevant provisions of these Articles will apply as if such sum were a call duly made and notified according to these Articles.
|
| 34. |
The Board of Directors may, upon the issue of shares, differentiate between the Shareholders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.
|
| 35. |
If any shareholder fails to pay all or part of any call or installment of a call on or before the day set for such payment, the Board of Directors may serve a notice on such Shareholder. The notice will require payment of the amount
remaining unpaid together with interest, at such rate as the Board will determine, and any expenses that may have accrued by reason of such non-payment. The notice will state a date, not less than fourteen (14) days from the date of the
notice, on or before which such call or installment, and all interest and expenses that have accrued by reason of such non- payment are to be paid. It will also state the place where payment is to be made, and will state that in the event
of non-payment on or before the time and at the place set, the shares for which such call was made will be liable to be forfeited. If the requirements of any such notice are not met, any share for which such notice has been given may, as
long as the payment required by the notice has not been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect. A forfeiture of shares will include all dividends applicable to the shares not actually paid before the forfeiture,
even if the dividend has already been declared.
|
| 36. |
When any shares have been forfeited in accordance with these Articles, notice of forfeiture will be promptly given to the Shareholder or to the person entitled to the shares by transmission, as the case may be. An entry of such notice
having been given and of the date of the forfeiture of the applicable shares will be made in the Register. However, a forfeiture will not be invalid solely due to the failure to give such notice or to make such entry in the Register.
|
| 37. |
(a) Following a forfeiture, the Board of Directors may, at any time before the forfeited share has been otherwise disposed of, revoke the forfeiture and return the share to the Shareholder
on terms determined by the Board.
|
(b) Every forfeited share may be sold or re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, to any other person, on such terms as the Board of Directors may determine.
| 38. |
A person whose shares have been forfeited will remain liable to pay to the Company all calls made and not paid on such shares at the time of forfeiture, and interest thereon to date of payment, in the same manner as if the shares had
not been forfeited. Such person will also remain liable to satisfy any claims and demands which the Company might have enforced regarding the shares at the time of forfeiture, without any deduction or allowance for the value of the shares
at the time of forfeiture. However, if the Company chooses to sell the forfeited shares, then the net consideration received by the Company for such shares will be deducted from the amount the person whose shares have been forfeited is
liable to pay the Company.
|
| 39. |
The forfeiture of a share will cause the extinction at the time of forfeiture of all claims and demands against the Company regarding the share, and all other rights and liabilities relating to the share as between the forfeiting
Shareholder and the Company, except as provided by law.
|
| 40. |
A written declaration by a Director that a share has been duly forfeited according to these Articles and stating the date of forfeiture, will be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in the declaration against any persons claiming to
be entitled to the forfeited shares. Such declaration, together with the Company's receipt for the consideration, if any, given for the forfeited shares on their sale or disposition, and a duly signed share certificate delivered to the
purchaser, will confer good title to the shares. Such purchaser will be registered as the holder of the shares.
|
Conversion of Shares into Stock
| 41. |
(a) The Company may, by a Resolution of the Shareholders at a General Meeting, convert any paid-up shares into stock, and may reconvert any stock into paid-up shares of any denomination.
|
(b) The holders of stock may transfer the same, or any part thereof, in the same manner, and subject to the same regulations, as the shares from which the stock arose
might, prior to conversion, have been transferred, or as near thereto as circumstances admit; but the Board of Directors may from time to time fix the minimum amount of stock transferable, and restrict or forbid the transfer of fractions of that
minimum.
(c ) The holders of stock shall, according to the amount of stock held by them, have the same rights, privileges, and advantages as regards dividends, voting at General
Meetings, and other matters as if they held the shares from which the stock arose, but no such privileges or advantage, except participation in the dividends and profits of the Company, shall be conferred by any such aliquot part of stock as
would not, if existing in shares, have conferred that privilege or advantage.
(d) Such of the Articles of the Company, as are applicable to paid-up shares shall apply to stock, and the words "share" and "Shareholder" therein shall include "stock" and
"Stockholder".
Transfer of Shares
| 42. |
Transfer of fully paid up shares in the Company shall not require the approval of the Board of Directors.
|
| 43. |
No transfer of shares shall be registered unless a proper instrument of transfer has been submitted to the Company, coupled, to the extent applicable, with the certificate for the shares to be transferred, and any other evidence as the
Board of Directors may reasonably require of the title of the transferor. The transferor will be considered to remain the Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register for the applicable shares.
|
| 44. |
The instrument of transfer of any share shall be in the usual or customary form or as near thereto as possible, and shall be signed by the transferor and transferee.
|
| 45. |
The Board of Directors may decline to register any transfer of shares, which have not been fully paid up.
|
| 46. |
The transfer books, the Register and registers of debenture-holders may be closed during such time as the Board of Directors deems fit, not exceeding a total of thirty (30) days in each year.
|
| 47. |
The Board of Directors may determine a fee to be charged for registration of a transfer.
|
Transmission of Shares upon Death, Bankruptcy or Dissolution
| 48. |
The executors and administrators of the deceased sole holder of a share or, if there are no executors or administrators, such persons, heirs (as evidenced by a probate or such other evidence as the Board of Directors may reasonably
deem sufficient) shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to the share. In case of a share registered in the name of two or more holders, the Company shall recognize the survivor or survivors as the only
persons having any title to or benefit in the share.
|
| 49. |
The receiver or liquidator of a Shareholder in winding-up or dissolution, or the trustee in bankruptcy, or any official receiver of any bankrupt Shareholder, upon producing such evidence as the Board of Directors may deem sufficient as
to his authority to act in such capacity under this Article, may be registered as a Shareholder in respect of such shares, or may, subject to the regulations as to transfer herein contained, transfer such shares.
|

| 50. |
The Company may from time to time, at its discretion, bon-ow or secure the payment of any sum or sums of money for the purposes of the Company.
|
| 51. |
The Company may raise the funds for or secure the repayment of such sum or sums in such manner, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as it deems fit and, in particular, by the issue of bonds, perpetual or redeemable
debentures, debenture stock, or any mortgages or charges, on the whole or any part of the property of the Company, both present and future, including its uncalled capital at that time and its called but unpaid capital.

| 69. |
An objection to a Shareholder's or a Proxy's right to vote in a General Meeting must be raised at the applicable meeting or adjourned meeting in which that person was supposed to vote. The chairman of the meeting will decide whether to
accept or reject any objection raised at the proper time regarding the vote of a Shareholder or Proxy, and the chairman of the General Meeting's decision will be final. Every vote not disqualified as provided above will be valid for all
matters at the General Meeting.

| 70. |
A Shareholder that is a corporation or other form of legal entity will have the right to appoint a person to be its representative at any General Meeting. The representative so appointed will have the right

of a Proxy appointment or Voting Instrument in accordance with the Law and any other applicable rules and regulations, or the transfer of the shares for which the Proxy appointment or Voting Instrument was given, unless the Company
receives at the Registered Office, prior to a General Meeting, a written notice as specified below. For a Voting Instrument or Proxy appointment that has been provided to the Company for a specific General Meeting to be considered
invalid, a written notice of cancellation of a Voting Instrument or a Proxy appointment must be duly signed by the applicable Shareholder specifying the applicable shares, the name of the Shareholder, legal representative or successor in
interest and nature of the event invalidating the Proxy appointment or Voting Instrument. In the event of voting by a secret ballot or by Voting Instrument, a notice canceling the appointment of a Proxy will be valid if it is signed by
the appointee/signatory or its legal representative or successor in interest and received at the Registered Office no later than one (1) hour before the beginning of the vote.

A Shareholder will have the right, to vote by a Voting Instrument as an alternative to voting in person or by Proxy. In all applicable cases, the Company will send the Voting Instrument to the Shareholders before the applicable General
Meeting, no later than the time set for that purpose in the Law.
|
| 74. |
A Shareholder has the right to vote by a separate Proxy with respect to each share held by him, provided that each Proxy will have a separate letter of appointment containing the serial number of the shares for which the Proxy is
entitled to vote. If a specific share is included in more than one (1) letter of appointment, then no Proxy will have the right to vote such share.
|
| 75. |
An instrument appointing a Proxy, which is not limited in time, will expire twelve (12) months after the date of its execution. If the appointment is for a limited time period, even exceeding twelve (12) months, the instrument will be
valid for such period as specified in the instrument.

Re: Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333- )
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as United States securities counsel for SuperCom Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation
and filing by the Company of a shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3 (including the Offering Prospectus constituting part thereof (the “Prospectus”)) to which this opinion letter has been filed as an exhibit (the “Registration Statement”),
relating to the offer and sale by the Company from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Company’s (i) ordinary shares, par value NIS 50 per share (the “ordinary shares”),
(ii) preferred shares par value NIS 50 per share (“preferred shares”, and together with the ordinary shares, “Equity Securities”); (iii) debt securities (the “Debt Securities”), in one or more series; (iv) warrants to purchase Equity Securities or
Debt Securities (the “Warrants”); (v) subscription rights to purchase Equity Securities, Debt Securities, Warrants or Units (as defined below) (the “Rights”); and (vi) units consisting of combinations of one or more of the foregoing (the “Units”).
The ordinary shares, preferred shares, Debt Securities, Warrants, Rights and Units are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” The Securities being registered for sale by the Company are for a maximum aggregate offering price of
$50,000,000. Such Securities may be offered and sold from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at which time it is contemplated that the Offering Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto,
will be supplemented by one or more supplements (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”).
In rendering our opinions set forth below, we have reviewed such corporate documents and records of the Company, such certificates of public officials and such other matters as
we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion letter. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not independently verified such matters. As to facts material to the
opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon oral and written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company. We also have assumed (a) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (b) the
conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (c) the genuineness of all signatures; (d) the legal capacity of natural persons; (e) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, factual matters, representations
and warranties contained in all of such documents; (f) the Company’s due organization, valid existence and good standing under the laws of the State of Israel; and (g) the Company’s legal power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its
obligations under the Securities.
Based upon such examination, and subject to the further assumptions, qualifications and limitations contained herein, it is our opinion that:
1. The Debt Securities, upon issuance and delivery of certificates of indebtedness or notes (or book-entry notation if uncertificated) evidencing such Debt Securities, against
payment therefor of such lawful consideration as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may determine, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.
2. The Warrants, upon their issuance and delivery of certificates (or book-entry notation if uncertificated) for such Warrants, against payment therefor of such lawful
consideration as the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may determine, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.
3. The Rights, upon their issuance and delivery of certificates (or book-entry notation if uncertificated) for such Rights, against payment therefor of such lawful consideration
as the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may determine, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.
4. The Units, upon their issuance and delivery of certificates (or book-entry notation if uncertificated) for such Units, against payment therefor of such lawful consideration as
the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may determine, to the extent such Units constitute or include Debt Securities, Warrants or Rights, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed that: (i) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, shall have become effective under the Securities Act and
will remain effective at the time of issuance of any Securities thereunder; (ii) a Prospectus Supplement describing each class or series of Securities offered pursuant to the Registration Statement, to the extent required by applicable law and
relevant rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), will be timely filed with the Commission; (iii) the definitive terms of each class or series of Securities shall have been established in accordance
with resolutions duly adopted by the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) (each, a “Board Action”) and/or the Company’s shareholders (the “Shareholder Action”), the Company’s Memorandum of Association (as it may be amended from time to time,
the “Articles”), the Company’s Articles of Association (as they may be amended from time to time, the “Articles”) and applicable law; (iv) the Company will issue and deliver the Securities in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus, the applicable Prospectus Supplement and any applicable agreement; (v) the total number of shares of Equity Securities issuable (including upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any other Security) will not exceed the total number
of shares of Equity Securities that the Company is then authorized to issue under its Articles; (vi) the Board Action authorizing the Company to issue, offer and sell the Securities will have been adopted by the Board (or an authorized committee
thereof) and will be in full force and effect at all times at which the Securities are offered or sold by the Company; (vii) the Shareholder Action authorizing the Company to issue, offer and sell the Securities will have been adopted by the
Company’s shareholders, as applicable, and will be in full force and effect at all times at which the Securities are offered or sold by the Company; (viii) all Securities will be issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws; (ix) all Securities, as issued and delivered, do not violate any law applicable to the Company or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company; and (x) all Securities, as issued and delivered,
comply with all requirements and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Company, whether imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company.
Our opinions herein are subject to and may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or similar laws affecting or relating to
the rights and remedies of creditors generally including, without limitation, laws relating to fraudulent transfers or conveyances, preferences and equitable subordination; (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
With respect to any Securities consisting of the Debt Securities, we have further assumed that: (i) such Debt Securities shall have been issued pursuant to an indenture
(individually, and as supplemented from time to time, an “Indenture”) between the Company and a trustee to be identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement (the “Trustee”); (ii) such Indenture shall have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered on behalf of the Company; (iii) all terms of such Debt Securities not provided for in such Indenture shall have been established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and reflected in appropriate documentation approved by us
and, if applicable, executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee; (iv) such Debt Securities shall have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of such Indenture; (v) such Debt Securities,
as executed and delivered, do not violate any law applicable to the Company or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company; (vi) such Debt Securities, as executed and delivered, comply with all
requirements and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Company, whether imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company; and (vii) such Debt Securities and the related indenture, if any, shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York. We have also assumed that any Debt Securities offered under the Registration Statement and the related Indenture are executed in the forms filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or
incorporated by reference therein.
With respect to any Securities consisting of the Warrants, we have further assumed that (i) such Warrants shall have been issued pursuant to the terms agreed upon by the partes
as reflected in the Warrants ; (ii) such Warrants shall have been duly executed, issued and delivered in accordance with the terms set forth in the Warrants; (iii) such Warrants, as executed and delivered, do not violate any law applicable to the
Company or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company; (iv) such Warrants, as executed and delivered, comply with all requirements and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Company, in any case
whether imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company; and (v) such Warrants, shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
With respect to any Securities consisting of the Rights, we have further assumed that (i) such Rights shall have been issued pursuant to a rights agreement (individually, a
“Rights Agreement”) between the Company and a rights agent to be identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement (the “Rights Agent”); (ii) such Rights Agreement shall have been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Company;
(iii) all terms of such Rights shall have been established in accordance with the provisions of such Rights Agreement(s); (iv) such Rights shall have been duly executed, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of such Rights
Agreement(s); (v) such Rights and the related Rights Agreement(s), as executed and delivered, do not violate any law applicable to the Company or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company; (vi) such
Rights and the related Rights Agreement(s), as executed and delivered, comply with all requirements and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Company, in any case whether imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction
over the Company; and (vii) such Rights and the related Rights Agreement, if any, shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
To the extent that the obligations of the Company under an Indenture may be dependent on such matters, we further have assumed for purposes of this opinion letter that the
Trustee under each Indenture (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (ii) is duly qualified to engage in activities contemplated by such Indenture; (iii) has duly authorized,
executed and delivered such Indenture, and such Indenture constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of such Trustee enforceable against such Trustee in accordance with its terms; (iv) is in compliance, with respect to acting as a trustee
under such Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations; and (v) has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under such Indenture.
To the extent that the obligations of the Company under any Rights or Rights Agreement may be dependent on such matters, we further have assumed for purposes of this opinion
letter that the Rights Agent under each Rights Agreement (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (ii) is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by such Rights
Agreement; (iii) has duly authorized, executed and delivered such Rights Agreement, and such Rights Agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of such Rights Agent enforceable against such Rights Agent in accordance with its
terms; (iv) is in compliance, with respect to acting as a Rights Agent under such Rights Agreement, with all applicable laws and regulations; and (v) has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under
such Rights Agreement.
We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of: (i) provisions relating to choice of law, choice of venue, jurisdiction or waivers of jury trial, or (ii) any waiver
of any usury defense. This opinion letter is rendered as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in applicable law that may come to
our attention, and we have assumed that no change in the facts stated or assumed herein or in applicable law after the date hereof will affect adversely our ability to render an opinion letter after the date hereof (i) containing the same legal
conclusions set forth herein and (ii) subject only to such (or fewer) assumptions, limitations and qualifications as are contained herein.
This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinions may be implied or inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. We assume no obligation to
supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that might change the opinion expressed herein after the date hereof.
The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of New York and applicable federal laws of the United States of America, and we express no opinion as to the effect of
the laws of any other jurisdiction, domestic or foreign. We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any federal or state antifraud law, rule, or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as Exhibit 5.2 to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of
Regulation S−K under the Securities Act and to the reference to our firm therein and in the Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that this firm is within the
