PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED SEPTEMBER 18, 2025
WEARABLE DEVICES LTD.
Up to 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares
Offered by the Selling Shareholder
This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, by the selling shareholder named herein, or the Selling Shareholder, or its pledgees, donees, transferees, or other successors in interest, of up to 1,670,000 of our ordinary shares, no par value per share, or Ordinary Shares, consisting of (i) 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of 1,000,000 warrants issued on September 12, 2025, or the September 12 Warrants, and (ii) 670,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of 670,000 warrants issued on September 15, 2025, or the September 15 Warrants, held by the Selling Shareholder.
The September 12 Warrants held by the Selling Shareholder were sold to it by our company in a private placement that was completed on September 12, 2025 pursuant to a certain securities purchase agreement, dated as of September 11, 2025, or the September 11 Agreement, by and between our company and the Selling Shareholder. Pursuant to the private placement that closed on September 12, 2025, we sold to the Selling Shareholder an aggregate of 1,000,000 warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares, or the September 12 Offering. The September 12 Warrants have an exercise price of $4.00 per share, were immediately exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from issuance.
The September 15 Warrants held by the Selling Shareholder were sold to it by our company in a private placement that was completed on September 15, 2025 pursuant to a certain securities purchase agreement, dated as of September 12, 2025, or the September 12 Agreement, by and between our company and the Selling Shareholder. Pursuant to the private placement that closed on September 15, 2025, we sold to the Selling Shareholder an aggregate of 670,000 warrants to purchase up to 670,000 Ordinary Shares, or the September 15 Offering. The September 15 Warrants have an exercise price of $6.00 per share, were immediately exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from issuance.
Both private placements were effected pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The Selling Shareholder may sell the 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares underlying the September 12 Warrants and the September 15 Warrants, or collectively, the Warrants, held by it in one or more offerings under this prospectus, for its own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholder. We will, however, receive up to an aggregate of approximately $8.02 million in cash from the exercise of the Warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all the Warrants.
The Selling Shareholder may offer and sell any of the Ordinary Shares offered hereby from time to time at fixed prices, at market prices or at negotiated prices, and may engage a broker, dealer or underwriter to sell the securities. In connection with any sales of Ordinary Shares offered hereunder, the Selling Shareholder, any underwriters, agents, brokers or dealers participating in such sales may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. For additional information on the possible methods of sale that may be used by the Selling Shareholder, you should refer to the section titled “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus. We do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Shareholder may offer the Ordinary Shares for sale. The Selling Shareholder may sell any, all or none of the shares offered by this prospectus.
As of the date of this prospectus, our Ordinary Shares are listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “WLDS”. The last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares on September 18, 2025 was $5.55 per share.
Investing in our Ordinary Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

Our Company
We are a growth company developing a non-invasive neural input interface in the form of a wearable wristband for controlling digital devices using subtle finger gestures and hand movements. Since our technology was introduced to the market in 2014, we have been working with both B2B and B2C customers as part of our push-pull strategy. We are now in the transition phase from research and development to commercialization of our technology into B2B products. At the same time, starting in December 2023, we have commenced shipment of the “Mudra Band”, our first B2C consumer product, and aftermarket accessory band for Apple Watch that enables gesture control across Apple ecosystem devices such as iPhone, Mac computer, Apple TV, and iPad, inter alia. In September 2024, we launched the Mudra Link, a universal gesture control wearable wristband. The Mudra Link was opened for pre-orders in September 2024 and we started shipping to customers in the first quarter of 2025.
Our company’s vision is to create a world in which the user’s hand becomes a universal input device for touchlessly interacting with technology. We believe that our technology is setting the standard input interface for the Metaverse. We intend to transform interaction and control of digital devices to be as natural and intuitive as real-life experiences. We imagine a future in which humans can share skills, thoughts, emotions, and movements with each other and with computers, using wearable interfaces and devices. We believe that neural-based interfaces will become as ubiquitous to interact with wearable computing and digital devices in the near future as the touchscreen is a universal input method for smartphones.
Combining our own proprietary sensors and AI algorithms into a stylish wristband, our Mudra platform enables users to control digital devices through subtle finger movements and hand gestures, without physical touch or contact. These digital devices include consumer electronics, smart watches, smartphones, augmented reality, or AR, glasses, virtual reality, or VR, headsets, televisions, personal computers and laptop computers, drones, robots, etc.
The Mudra Development Kit (formerly Mudra Inspire), our B2B development kit product, started selling to B2B customers in 2018 as the first point of business engagement and contributed to our early-stage revenues. In 2024 and 2023, we had revenues of $522 thousand and $82 thousand, respectively, and comprehensive and net loss of $7.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we had revenues of $294 thousand and $394 thousand, respectively, and comprehensive and net loss of $3.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
Over 100 companies have purchased our Mudra Development Kit (formerly Mudra Inspire), 30 of which are multinational technology companies. These companies are exploring various input and control use-cases for their products, ranging over multiple countries and industry sectors, including consumer electronics manufacturers, consumer electronics brands, electronic components manufacturers, IT services and software development companies, industrial companies, and utility providers. Our objective with these companies is to commercialize the Mudra technology by licensing it for integration in the hardware and software of these companies’ products and services. We estimate that there will be a three-to-five-year period from the time we are first introduced to a customer to signing a licensing agreement. As of September 18, 2025, we have not signed a license agreement with any of these companies.
1
In addition to consumer electronics, we have recently expanded our brand to include neurotech and brain-computer interface sensors, with additional verticals that include Industry 4.0 – a new phase in the Industrial Revolution that focuses on interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data, digital health, sport analytics, and more.
The core of our platform is Mudra, which means “gesture” in Sanskrit. Mudra, our surface nerve conductance, or SNC, technology and wristband tracks neural signals on the user’s wrist skin surface, which our algorithms decipher to predict as gestures made by finger and hand movements. The interface binds each gesture with a specific digital function, allowing users to input commands without physical touch or contact. Mudra gestures are natural to perform, and gestures can be tailored per a user’s intent, desired function, and the controlled digital device. Mudra can detect multiple gesture types, including hand movements, finger movements, and fingertip pressure gradations. In addition to the control use-case, our Mudra technology and SNC sensor can be utilized in multiple monitoring use-cases where we can monitor neural and hand movements for digital health purposes, sport analytics performance, and Industry 4.0 solutions.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment in our securities, you should carefully consider all of the information included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including the risks described under the heading “Item 3. Key Information— D. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report, as updated by other reports and documents we file with, or furnish to, the SEC and that are incorporated by reference herein. Please see the sections of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Information Incorporated by Reference.” If one or more of those risks is realized, that could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks Relating to the Offering and to an Investment in our Ordinary Shares
Shareholders may experience significant dilution as a result of potential future financings that we may effect.
We currently have an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 for the sale of up to $30,000,000 of our Ordinary Shares, warrants, rights and/or units, of which approximately $11.9 million has been sold. Purchasers of Ordinary Shares in this offering, as well as our existing shareholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell additional shares at prices significantly below the price at which they invested. In addition, we may issue additional Ordinary Shares or other equity securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions of additional companies or assets, or under our equity incentive plans, in certain cases without shareholder approval. Our existing shareholders may experience significant dilution if we issue shares in the future at prices below the price at which previous shareholders invested.
Our issuance of additional Ordinary Shares or other ordinary share equivalents would have the following effects:
| ● | our existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in us will decrease; |
| ● | the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding ordinary share may be diminished; and |
| ● | the market price of our Ordinary Shares may decline. |
Investors may experience significant dilution as a result of this offering and future offerings.
The exercise of the September 12 Warrants and the September 15 Warrants and the issuance of up to 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares underlying such Warrants could cause our existing shareholders to experience dilution.
The Selling Shareholder identified herein is selling from time to time up to 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, which constitutes approximately 29.6% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares prior to the offering pursuant to this prospectus. Such sales could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.
Purchasers of the Ordinary Shares, as well as our existing shareholders, will experience dilution if the Selling Shareholder identified herein sells the shares underlying the Warrants. In addition, we may also offer additional Ordinary Shares in the future, which may result in additional significant dilution.
Future issuances or sales, or the potential for future issuances or sales, of our Ordinary Shares may cause the trading price of our Ordinary Shares to decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through subsequent equity offerings.
We have issued a significant number of Ordinary Shares and we may do so in the future. Shares to be issued in future equity offerings could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline and could have an adverse effect on our earnings per share if and when we become profitable. In addition, future sales of our Ordinary Shares or other securities in the public markets, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline, and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional securities.
4
The market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline due to sales, or the announcements of proposed sales, of a large number of Ordinary Shares in the market, including sales of Ordinary Shares by our large shareholders, or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales or the perception that these sales could occur could also depress the market price of our Ordinary Shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities or make it more difficult or impossible for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of Ordinary Shares or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our Ordinary Shares.
Our amended and restated articles of association authorize our board of directors to, among other things, issue additional Ordinary Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Ordinary Shares, without shareholder approval. We may issue such additional Ordinary Shares or convertible securities to raise additional capital. The issuance of any additional Ordinary Shares or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to our shareholders. Moreover, to the extent that we issue restricted share units, stock appreciation rights, options or warrants to purchase our Ordinary Shares in the future and those stock appreciation rights, options or warrants are exercised, or as the restricted share units settle, our shareholders may experience further dilution. Holders of our Ordinary Shares have no preemptive rights that entitle such holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares or equivalent securities and, therefore, such sales or offerings could result in increased dilution to our shareholders.
An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not be sustained.
Although our Ordinary Shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the market for our Ordinary Shares has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity. Furthermore, the current level of trading may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market for our Ordinary Shares may impair investors’ ability to sell their shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair market value of their shares and may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to utilize our shares as consideration in any licensing or other collaboration transactions with third parties.
Our share price may be subject to substantial volatility, and shareholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment.
Our Ordinary Shares currently trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market. There is limited public float, and trading volume historically has been low and sporadic. As a result, the market price for our Ordinary Shares may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of our fair market value. The price at which our Ordinary Shares trades may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of shares available for sale in the market, quarterly variations in our operating results, actual or anticipated announcements of new releases by us or competitors, the gain or loss of sources of revenues, changes in the estimates of our operating performance, market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole.
Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.
We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, only appreciation of the price of our Ordinary Shares will provide a return to our shareholders.
Resales of our Ordinary Shares in the public market during this offering by our shareholders may cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to fall.
Sales of a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares could occur at any time. The issuance of new Ordinary Shares could result in resales of our Ordinary Shares by our current shareholders concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. In turn, these resales could have the effect of depressing the market price for our Ordinary Shares.

This prospectus relates to the sale of up to 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares that the Selling Shareholder may sell in one or more offerings upon exercise of some or all of Warrants that the Selling Shareholder purchased from us in a private placement under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The table below sets forth information about the maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be offered from time to time by the Selling Shareholder under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholder identified below may currently hold or acquire Ordinary Shares in addition to those registered hereby. In addition, the Selling Shareholder identified below may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of some or all of its Ordinary Shares registered hereunder in private placement transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
To our knowledge, the Selling Shareholder does not have, and has not had within the past three years, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, other than its ownership of our Ordinary Shares, Warrants and pre-funded warrants, and transactions relating to the issuances or exercises thereof. In addition, to our knowledge, the Selling Shareholder is not an affiliate of a broker-dealer and there are no participating broker-dealers. To the extent a selling shareholder would be an affiliate of a broker-dealer, or if there would be any participating broker-dealer, such selling shareholder and/or participating broker-dealer would be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts given to any such selling shareholder or broker-dealer could be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Prior to the closing of the sales of securities to the Selling Shareholder under the September 11 Agreement and the September 12 Agreement, the Company had 5,646,263 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. The September 12 Offering and the September 15 Offering both consisted of two separate, concurrent transactions (i) a registered direct offering and (ii) a private placement.
Pursuant to the registered direct offering for the September 12 Offering, we issued and sold to the Selling Shareholder 440,000 Ordinary Shares, together with 560,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase 560,000 Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the registered direct offering for the September 15 Offering, we issued and sold to the Selling Shareholder 440,000 Ordinary Shares, together with 230,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase 230,000 Ordinary Shares. Both registered direct offerings were registered under a separate prospectus supplement constituting a part of the prospectus in our registration statement on Form F-3, SEC file number 333-274841, and is not covered by this prospectus.
In the concurrent private placement effected pursuant to the September 11 Agreement, we issued and sold 1,000,000 warrants to the Selling Shareholder, each of which is exercisable for one Ordinary Share. In a concurrent private placement effected pursuant to the September 12 Agreement, we issued and sold 670,000 warrants to the Selling Shareholder, each of which is exercisable for one Ordinary Share.
In the aggregate, the registered direct offering and private placement transactions contemplated by the September 11 Agreement and the September 12 Agreement resulted in our issuance of 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares and/or ordinary share equivalents, which constituted approximately 29.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company prior to the transactions.

We have prepared the following table based on information supplied to us by the Selling Shareholder on or prior to September 16, 2025.
| Shares Beneficially Owned Prior to Offering(1) | Maximum Number of Shares to be Sold Pursuant to this Prospectus | Shares Owned Immediately After Sale of Maximum Number of Shares in this Offering | ||||||||||||||||||
| Name of Selling Shareholder | Number | Percentage(2) | Number | Number(3) | Percentage(4) | |||||||||||||||
| Armistice Capital, LLC(5) | 1,670,000 | 22.8 | % | 1,670,000 | 0 | 0 | % | |||||||||||||
| (1) | Included as Ordinary Shares “owned” for purposes of this column are the (i) 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, exercisable at a price of $4.00 per share, and (ii) 670,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, exercisable at an exercise price of $6.00 per share held by the Selling Shareholder. The Ordinary Shares “owned” for the purposes of this column do not include the 3,322,000 Ordinary Shares ordinary warrants, exercisable at a price of $1.71 per share that the Company sold and agreed to issue to the Selling Shareholder in connection with a warrant inducement transaction in August 2025. The issuance of the warrants is subject to shareholder approval. |
| (2) | The percentage ownership of 22.8% is based on 5,646,263 outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the date of this prospectus, while also including as outstanding for purposes of calculating such percentage, an additional (i) 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, which are also currently exercisable. This percentage does not give effect to the provisions of the Warrants, which provide that the Selling Shareholder may not hold more than 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company at any given time. |
| (3) | Assumes that the Selling Shareholder will sell all of the 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares underlying Warrants that are being offered pursuant to this prospectus, but has not and will not sell any of the other Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholder. |
| (4) | The percentage of outstanding Ordinary Shares which may be sold in this offering considers, as outstanding Ordinary Shares, the 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants that may be sold in this offering. |
| (5) | The securities are directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Master Fund”), and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by: (i) Armistice Capital, LLC (“Armistice Capital”), as the investment manager of the Master Fund; and (ii) Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice Capital. The warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which such limitation restricts the Selling Shareholder from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the Selling Shareholder and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The address of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022. |

We are registering the sale of the 1,670,000 Ordinary Shares (underlying the Warrants) offered under this prospectus on behalf of the Selling Shareholder. The Selling Shareholder, which, as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest selling those Ordinary Shares or interests in those Ordinary Shares received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Shareholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution, or other non-sale related transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the subject Ordinary Shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Ordinary Shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The Selling Shareholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the subject Ordinary Shares owned by such shareholder and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the subject Ordinary Shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of the Selling Shareholder(s) to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successors in interest as a Selling Shareholder under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of its shares pursuant to this prospectus:

12
In connection with the sale of Ordinary Shares or interests therein, the Selling Shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Ordinary Shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholder may also sell Ordinary Shares short and deliver these securities to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the Ordinary Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as amended to reflect such transaction).
If the Ordinary Shares are sold through broker dealers, the Selling Shareholder will be responsible for discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Shareholder from the sale of the Ordinary Shares offered by it will be the purchase price of the Ordinary Shares less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Shareholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Ordinary Shares to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering (although we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants under which the Ordinary Shares being sold in this offering will be issued).
The Selling Shareholder also may resell all or a portion of the Ordinary Shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of that rule.
The Selling Shareholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents that participate in the sale of our Ordinary Shares or interests therein may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions, or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the Selling Shareholder is deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be amended from time to time) available to the Selling Shareholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the Ordinary Shares to be sold, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers, or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth, if appropriate, in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus or, to the extent permissible, in a supplement to this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Ordinary Shares to be sold under this prospectus may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Ordinary Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
The Selling Shareholder and any other person participating in a distribution of the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholder and any other such person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Ordinary Shares under this prospectus to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Ordinary Shares.

Articles of Association
Directors
Our board of directors shall direct our policy and shall supervise the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and his actions. Our board of directors may exercise all powers that are not required under the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999, or the Companies Law, or under our amended and restated articles of association to be exercised or taken by our shareholders.
Rights Attached to Ordinary Shares
Our Ordinary Shares shall confer upon the holders thereof:
| ● | equal right to attend and to vote at all of our general meetings, whether regular or special, with each Ordinary Share entitling the holder thereof, which attend the meeting and participate at the voting, either in person or by a proxy or by a written ballot, to one vote; |
| ● | equal right to participate in distribution of dividends, if any, whether payable in cash or in bonus shares, in distribution of assets or in any other distribution, on a per share pro rata basis; and |

14
Election of Directors
Our amended and restated articles of association provide for a staggered board of directors consisting of three classes of directors. Our directors are generally elected and/or re-elected by the general meeting and, other than under certain exceptions, serve in office until the third annual general meeting after the general meeting in which such director was appointed, in which such later annual general meeting the directors will be brought for re-election or replacement.
In each annual general meeting, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors will be for a term of office that expires on the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election, such that each year the term of office of only one class of directors will expire, and all other directors whose service term lapsed shall be deemed to have been re-elected for a term until the next annual general meeting. The director to deemed to be re-elected is generally the director that served the longest period since its appointment or last re-election. If more than one director served the longest time, the board of directors will decide which of such directors will be brought for re-election at the relevant general meeting.
Annual and Special Meetings
Under the Israeli law, we are required to hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders once every calendar year, at such time and place which shall be determined by our board of directors, that must be no later than 15 months after the date of the previous annual general meeting. All meetings other than the annual general meeting of shareholders are referred to as special general meetings. Our board of directors may call special meetings whenever it sees fit and upon the request of: (a) any two of our directors or such number of directors equal to one quarter of the directors then at office; and/or (b) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, (i) 5% or more of our outstanding issued shares and 1% of our outstanding voting power or (ii) 5% or more of our outstanding voting power, or the Non Exempted Holding.
However, under exemptions applicable to Israeli companies whose securities are listed for trade on stock exchanges outside of Israel, or the Exemptions Regulations, the board of directors of an Israeli company shall convene a special meeting at the request of one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of the issued and outstanding share capital, and at least 1% of the voting rights in the company, or one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of the voting rights in the company, provided that if the applicable law to companies incorporated in the country which the company is listed for trade, establishes a right to demand convening of such a meeting for those holding a percentage of holdings lower than 10%, then the Non Exempted Holding shall apply.
Under Israeli law, one or more shareholders holding at least 1% of the voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders may request that the board of directors include a matter on the agenda of the general meeting of shareholders to be convened in the future, provided that it is appropriate to discuss such matter at the general meeting of shareholders. However, under the Exemptions Regulations, one or more shareholders of an Israeli company whose shares are listed outside of Israel, may request the company’s board of directors to include a nomination of a candidate for a position on the board of directors or the termination of a director, as an item on the agenda of a future general meeting, provided that the shareholder holds at least 5% of the voting rights of the company.
Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, shareholders entitled to participate and vote at general meetings are the shareholders of record on a date to be decided by the board of directors, which may be between four and sixty days prior to the date of the meeting. Resolutions regarding the following matters must be passed at a general meeting of our shareholders:
| ● | amendments to our amended and restated articles of association; |
| ● | the exercise of our board of directors’ powers by a general meeting if our board of directors is unable to exercise its powers and the exercise of any of its powers is required for our proper management; |
| ● | appointment or termination of our auditors; |
| ● | appointment of directors, including external directors (other than with respect to circumstances specified in our amended and restated articles of association); |
| ● | approval of acts and transactions requiring general meeting approval pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law (mainly certain related party transactions) and any other applicable law; |
| ● | increases or reductions of our authorized share capital; |
| ● | a merger (as such term is defined in the Companies Law); and | |
| ● | dissolution of the Company by the court and voluntary dissolution of the Company in a regular or an expedited procedure. |
15
Notices
Under our amended and restated articles of association, we are not required to give notice to our registered shareholders pursuant to the Companies Law, unless otherwise required by law. The provisions of the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder require that a notice of any annual or special shareholders meeting be provided at least 14 or 21 (as applicable) days prior to the meeting, and if the agenda of the meeting includes the appointment or removal of directors, the approval of transactions with office holders or interested or related parties, approval of the company’s general manager to serve as the chairman of the board of directors or an approval of a merger, notice must be provided at least 35 days prior to the meeting.
Quorum
According to our amended and restated articles of association and as permitted under the Companies Law, the quorum required for our general meetings consists of at least two shareholders present in person, by proxy, written ballot or voting by means of electronic voting system, who hold or represent between them at least 25% of the total outstanding voting rights. If within half an hour of the time set forth for the general meeting a quorum is not present, the general meeting shall stand adjourned either (i) to the same day of the following week, at the same hour and in the same place; (ii) to such other date, time and place as prescribed in the notice to the shareholders and at such adjourned meeting; or (iii) to such day and at such time and place as the chairperson of the general meeting shall determine (which may be earlier or later than the date pursuant to clause (i) above). At such adjourned meeting, any number of shareholders participating in the meeting shall constitute a quorum.
If a special general meeting was summoned following the request of a shareholder, and within half an hour a legal quorum shall not have been formed, the meeting shall be canceled.
Adoption of Resolutions
Our amended and restated articles of association provide that resolutions amending provisions of the articles of association related to the staggered board of directors and the composition of the board of directors, as well as a resolution to dismiss a director, will require an affirmative vote of 70% of the voting power represented at a general meeting and voting thereon. Other than that, and unless otherwise required under the Companies Law and our amended and restated articles of association, all resolutions of the Company’s shareholders require a simple majority vote. A shareholder may vote in a general meeting in person, by proxy, by a written ballot.
Changing Rights Attached to Shares
Unless otherwise provided by the terms of the shares and subject to any applicable law, any modification of rights attached to any class of shares must be adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares of that class present a general meeting of the affected class or by a written consent of all the shareholders of the affected class.
Our amended and restated articles of association provide that the enlargement of an existing class of shares or the issuance of additional shares thereof, shall not be deemed to modify, derogate or cancel the rights attached to the previously issued shares of such class or of any other class, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the shares.
Limitations on the Right to Own Securities in Our Company
There are no limitations on the right to own our securities in our amended and restated articles of association. In certain circumstances the warrants have restrictions upon the exercise of such warrants if such exercise would result in the holders thereof owning more than 4.99% or 9.99% of our Ordinary Shares upon such exercise, as further described below.
Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our Company
Our amended and restated articles of association provide for a staggered board of directors, which mechanism may delay, defer or prevent a change of control of the Company’s board of directors. Other than that, there are no specific provisions of our amended and restated articles of association that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company or that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us. However, as described below, certain provisions of the Companies Law may have such effect.
The Companies Law includes provisions that allow a merger transaction and requires that each company that is a party to the merger have the transaction approved by its board of directors and, unless certain requirements described under the Companies Law are met, a vote of the majority of shareholders, and, in the case of the target company, also a majority vote of each class of its shares. For purposes of the shareholder vote of each party, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger will not be deemed approved if shares representing a majority of the voting power present at the shareholders meeting and which are not held by the other party to the merger (or by any person or group of persons acting in concert who holds 25% or more of the voting power or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of the other party) vote against the merger. If, however, the merger involves a merger with a company’s own controlling shareholder or if the controlling shareholder has a personal interest in the merger, then the merger is instead subject to the same special majority approval that governs all extraordinary transactions with controlling shareholders. Upon the request of a creditor of either party to the proposed merger, the court may delay or prevent the merger if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that as a result of the merger the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of any of the parties to the merger, and may further give instructions to secure the rights of creditors. If the transaction would have been approved by the shareholders of a merging company but for the separate approval of each class or the exclusion of the votes of certain shareholders as provided above, a court may still approve the merger upon the petition of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of a company. For such petition to be granted, the court must find that the merger is fair and reasonable, taking into account the value of the parties to the merger and the consideration offered to the shareholders. In addition, a merger may not be completed unless at least (1) 50 days have passed from the time that the requisite proposals for approval of the merger were filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies by each merging company and (2) 30 days have passed since the merger was approved by the shareholders of each merging company.
16
The term “Special Majority” hereof will be defined as described in section 275(a)(3) of the Companies Law as:
| ● | at least a majority of the shares held by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have personal interest in the merger (excluding a personal interest that did not result from the shareholder’s relationship with the controlling shareholder) have voted in favor of the proposal (shares held by abstaining shareholders shall not be considered); or |
| ● | the total number of shares voted against the merger, does not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting rights of the company. |
The Companies Law also provides that, subject to certain exceptions, an acquisition of shares in an Israeli public company must be made by means of a “special” tender offer if as a result of the acquisition (1) the purchaser would become a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, unless there is already another holder of at least 25% or more of the voting rights in the company or (2) the purchaser would become a holder of 45% or more of the voting rights in the company, unless there is already a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, the acquisition (1) was made in a private placement that received shareholders’ approval, subject to certain conditions, (2) was from a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a holder of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, or (3) was from a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights in the company. A “special” tender offer must be extended to all shareholders. In general, a “special” tender offer may be consummated only if (1) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror and (2) the offer is accepted by a majority of the offerees who notified the company of their position in connection with such offer (excluding the offeror, controlling shareholders, holders of 25% or more of the voting rights in the company or anyone on their behalf, or any person having a personal interest in the acceptance of the tender offer). If a special tender offer is accepted, then the purchaser or any person or entity controlling it or under common control with the purchaser or such controlling person or entity may not make a subsequent tender offer for the purchase of shares of the target company and may not enter into a merger with the target company for a period of one year from the date of the offer, unless the purchaser or such person or entity undertook to effect such an offer or merger in the initial special tender offer.
However, under the Exemptions Regulations, the aforesaid limitations regarding a special tender offer shall not apply if the law applicable to companies incorporated in the country in which the foreign company is listed for trade includes restrictions on the acquisition of control of any portion of the company, or that the acquisition of control requires the purchaser to conduct a tender offer to the company’s shareholders.
If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of an Israeli company’s outstanding shares or of certain class of shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares, or for all of the outstanding shares of such class, as applicable. In general, if less than 5% of the outstanding shares, or of applicable class, are not tendered in the tender offer and more than half of the offerees who have no personal interest in the offer tendered their shares, all the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to it by operation of law. However, a tender offer will also be accepted if the shareholders who do not accept the offer hold less than 2% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the applicable class of shares. Any shareholders that was an offeree in such tender offer, whether such shareholder accepted the tender offer or not, may request, by petition to an Israeli court, (i) appraisal rights in connection with a full tender offer, and (ii) that the fair value should be paid as determined by the court, for a period of six months following the acceptance thereof. However, the acquirer is entitled to stipulate, under certain conditions, that tendering shareholders will forfeit such appraisal rights.
Lastly, Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as stock-for-stock exchanges between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less favorably than U.S. tax laws. For example, Israeli tax law may, under certain circumstances, subject a shareholder who exchanges his Ordinary Shares for shares in another corporation to taxation prior to the sale of the shares received in such stock-for-stock swap.

Changes in Our Capital
The general meeting may, by a simple majority vote of the shareholders attending the general meeting:
| ● | increase our registered share capital by the creation of new shares from the existing class or a new class, as determined by the general meeting; |
| ● | cancel any registered share capital which have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person; |
| ● | consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of larger nominal value than our existing shares; |
| ● | subdivide our existing shares or any of them, our share capital or any of it, into shares of smaller nominal value than is fixed; and |
| ● | reduce our share capital and any fund reserved for capital redemption in any manner, and with and subject to any incident authorized, and consent required, by the Companies Law. |
Exclusive Forum
Our amended and restated articles of association provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act and that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Company, shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this exclusive forum provision.
Staggered Board
Our amended and restated articles of association provide for a split of the board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual general meeting of our shareholders, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors will be for a term of office that expires on the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election, such that each year the term of office of only one class of directors will expire. The director whom is to be retired and re-elected shall generally be the director that served the longest period since its appointment or last re-election or, if more than one director served the longest time, or if a director who is not to be re-elected agrees to be re-elected, the meeting of the board of directors which sets the date and agenda for the annual general meeting (acting by a simple majority) will decide which of such directors will be brought for re-election at the relevant general meeting.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
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 the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, a substantial majority of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and a substantial of our directors and officers are located outside of 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.
We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Sullivan & Worcester Tel Aviv (Har-Even & Co.), that 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, 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 U.S. 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 among other things:
| ● | the judgment is obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given; |
| ● | the judgment is final and is not subject to any right of appeal; |
| ● | the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment was rendered allows for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts. However, the court may enforce a foreign judgment, even without reciprocity, based on the request of the Attorney General, under certain circumstances; |
| ● | the liabilities under the judgment are enforceable according to the laws of the State of Israel and the judgment and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment is not contrary to the law or public policy in Israel nor likely to impair the security or sovereignty of Israel; |
| ● | the judgment was not obtained by fraud, there was a reasonable opportunity for the defendant to present their case, the judgment was given by an authorized court to issue it under the applicable international private law rules in Israel, the judgement does not conflict with any other valid judgments 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; |
| ● | the judgment is enforceable according to the laws of the foreign state in which the relief was granted; and | |
| ● | enforcement may be denied if it could harm the sovereignty or security of Israel. |
If a foreign judgment is declared enforceable by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency. The conversion to Israeli currency will be based on the latest official exchange rate published by the Bank of Israel before the payment date. However, the obligated party will fulfil its duty by the judgment even if they choose to make the payment in the same foreign currency, subject to the laws governing the foreign currency applicable at that time. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli CPI 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.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Indemnification
The Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999, or the Companies Law, and the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968, or the Securities Law, provide that a company may indemnify an office holder against the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking made in advance of an event or following an event, provided its articles of association include a provision authorizing such indemnification:
| ● | a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person by any judgment concerning an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court; | |
| ● | reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder (a) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (1) no indictment (as defined in the Companies Law) was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (2) no financial liability as a substitute for the criminal proceeding (as defined in the Companies Law) was imposed upon him or her as a result of such investigation or proceeding, or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; or (b) in connection with a monetary sanction; | |
| ● | reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder or imposed on him or her by a court; (1) in proceedings that the company institutes, or that another person institutes on the company’s behalf, against him or her; (2) in a criminal proceeding of which he or she was acquitted; or (3) as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent; and | |
| ● | expenses incurred by an office holder in connection with an Administrative Procedure under the Securities Law, including reasonable litigation expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees. An “Administrative Procedure” is defined as a procedure pursuant to chapters H3 (Monetary Sanction by the Israeli Securities Authority), H4 (Administrative Enforcement Procedures of the Administrative Enforcement Committee) or I1 (Arrangement to prevent Procedures or Interruption of procedures subject to conditions) to the Securities Law. |
The Companies Law also permits a company to add provisions in the articles of association to undertake in advance to indemnify an office holder, provided that if such indemnification relates to financial liability imposed on him or her, as described above, then the undertaking should be limited and shall detail the following foreseen events and amount or criterion:
| ● | to events that in the opinion of the board of directors can be foreseen based on the company’s activities at the time that the undertaking to indemnify is made; and | |
| ● | in amount or criterion determined by the board of directors, at the time of the giving of such undertaking to indemnify, to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and with all members of our senior management. Each such indemnification agreement shall provide the office holder with indemnification permitted under applicable law and up to a certain amount, and to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by directors and officers insurance.
II-1
Exemption
Under the Companies Law, an Israeli company may not exempt an office holder from liability for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty, but may exempt in advance an office holder from his or her liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care (other than in relation to distributions), but only if a provision authorizing such exemption is included in its articles of association. Our amended and restated articles of association provide that we may exempt, in whole or in part, any office holder from liability to us for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care. Subject to the aforesaid limitations, and to other limitations detailed in the indemnification agreements, we exempt and release our office holders from any and all liability to us related to any breach by them of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Limitations
The Companies Law provides that we may not exempt or indemnify an office holder nor enter into an insurance contract that would provide coverage for any liability incurred as a result of any of the following: (1) a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of loyalty unless (in the case of indemnity or insurance only, but not exemption) the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice us; (2) a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of care if the breach was carried out intentionally or recklessly (as opposed to merely negligently); (3) any act or omission committed with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or (4) any fine, monetary sanction, penalty or forfeit levied against the office holder.
Under the Companies Law, exemption, indemnification and insurance of office holders in a public company must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors (and, with respect to certain office holders or under certain circumstances, also by the shareholders). However, under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, the insurance of office holders shall not require shareholder approval and may only be approved by the compensation committee, if the engagement terms are determined in accordance with the company’s compensation policy that was approved by the shareholders by the same special majority required to approve a compensation policy, provided that the insurance policy is on market terms and the insurance policy is not likely to materially impact the company’s profitability, assets or obligations. In addition, under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, with respect to the insurance of office holders of a company in which there is a controlling shareholder who is also an office holder, board approval is also required, subject to meeting the aforesaid conditions.
Our amended and restated articles of association permit us to exempt (subject to the aforesaid limitation), indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted or to be permitted by the Companies Law.
Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
Set forth below are the sales of all securities by the Company since December 2021, which were not registered under the Securities Act. The Company believes that each of such issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 701 and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act. The conversions described below were exempt from registration under Securities Act in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
In January 2022, we began entering into certain simple agreements for future equity, or the SAFEs, for aggregate proceeds of up to $3 million, of which we received $500 thousand under the SAFEs. Any amounts received under the SAFEs we enter into will be automatically converted into our Ordinary Shares in the event we close an Equity Financing (as defined hereinafter) at a discount of 20% from the per share purchase price in such Equity Financing. An Equity Financing is a transaction or series of transactions with the principal purpose of raising capital in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000, excluding all outstanding (i) SAFEs, and (ii) other convertible securities (if any), pursuant to which we issue and sell Ordinary Shares at a fixed pre-money valuation. In addition, we agreed to issue to each SAFE investor a warrant to purchase our Ordinary Shares with an exercise price equal to 150% of the public offering price in such offering for an aggregate amount of up to 25% of such investor’s SAFE amount. The warrants shall be exercisable until the earlier of: (i) eighteen (18) months from January 2022; or (ii) in a change of control event, which generally covers (a) transaction in which any person or group becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities with the right to vote for the election of members of our board of directors, or (b) any reorganization, merger or our consolidation, or (c) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. Following the consummation of our initial public offering, or IPO, in September 2022, $100 thousand received under the SAFEs were repaid in cash and $400 thousand were converted into 5,910 Ordinary Shares, based on the IPO price of $84.6 per Ordinary Share.
II-2
In September 2022, we issued warrants to purchase up to 295 ordinary shares of the Company, no par value per share, or Ordinary Shares, issued to an advisor, at an exercise price of $338.40 per Ordinary Share.

On June 6, 2024, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, or the SEPA, with YA II PN, LTD., or YA, a fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, L.P. Pursuant to the terms of the SEPA, YA committed to purchase up to $10.0 million of Ordinary Shares, at any time during the three-year period following the execution date of the SEPA. To date we have sold 307,175 Ordinary Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $4.6 million.
On November 27, 2024, concurrently with a registered direct offering for the issuance and sale of 63,000 Ordinary Shares and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 142,500 Ordinary Shares, we closed a concurrent private placement for the sale of warrants, or the November 2024 Warrants, to purchase up to 205,500 Ordinary Shares, at a combined purchase price of $9.00 per Ordinary Share and accompanying November 2024 Warrant and a combined purchase price of $8.9996 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying November 2024 Warrant. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.85 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The November 2024 Warrants issued pursuant to the private placement had an exercise price of $10.00 per Ordinary Share, were immediately exercisable and will expire five years following the date of issuance (subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations). The exercise price was subsequently reduced to $4.00.
On April 30, 2025, we closed a warrant inducement transaction with a single institutional investor whereby the investor agreed to exercise for cash (i) warrants to purchase up to 205,500 Ordinary Shares, originally issued on November 27, 2024, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 625,000 Ordinary Shares, originally issued on January 30, 2025 at a reduced exercise price of $1.45 per share, or the April 2025 Inducement Warrants. In consideration for the immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants, we issued to the investor warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,661,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $1.45 per share, or the April 2025 Inducement Warrants.

We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.4 million, before deducting fees and other offering expenses. The issuance of the New Warrants is subject to shareholder approval. The New Warrants will be exercisable immediately on the date of the shareholder approval and will expire five years from the date of issuance.
On September 12, 2025, concurrently with a registered direct offering for the issuance and sale of 440,000 Ordinary Shares and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 560,000 Ordinary Shares, we closed a concurrent private placement for the sale of warrants, or the September 12 Warrants, to purchase up to 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares, at a combined purchase price of $4.00 per Ordinary Share and accompanying September 12 Warrant and a combined purchase price of $3.9999 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying September 12 Warrant. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The September 12 Warrants issued pursuant to the private placement had an exercise price of $4.00 per Ordinary Share, were immediately exercisable and will expire five years following the date of issuance (subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations).
On September 15, 2025, concurrently with a registered direct offering for the issuance and sale of 440,000 Ordinary Shares and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 230,000 Ordinary Shares, we closed a concurrent private placement for the sale of warrants, or the September 15 Warrants, to purchase up to 670,000 Ordinary Shares, at a combined purchase price of $6.00 per Ordinary Share and accompanying September 15 Warrant and a combined purchase price of $5.9999 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying September 15 Warrant.

The September 15 Warrants issued pursuant to the private placement had an exercise price of $6.00 per Ordinary Share, were immediately exercisable and will expire five years following the date of issuance (subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations).
Since September 2022, we have granted to our directors, consultants and service providers, officers, and employees options to purchase an aggregate of 11,831 Ordinary Shares under our 2015 Share Option Plan, with an exercise prices ranging between $7.63 and $105.60 per share. As of September 18, 2025, 4,660 options granted to directors, officers and employees were exercised, and 5,495 options forfeited, such that the total outstanding amount of options allocated or granted to directors, consultants and service providers, officers and employees as of September 18, 2025 is 22,222.

Item 9. Undertakings
| (a) | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | 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; |
| ii. | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; |
| 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 the registration statement. |
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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. |
| (3) | 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. |
| (4) | 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 Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the 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. |
| (5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
| i. | If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B: |
| A. | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
| B. | 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 of 1933 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 of the date of the first contract or 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 and 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 that 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 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; or |
II-5
| ii. | If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use. |
| (6) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the 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 securities to such purchaser: |
| i. | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating 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 the 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. |
| (b) | 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 described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
| (c) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: |
| (1) | 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. |
| (2) | 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. |

Re: Registration Statement on Form F-1
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as Israeli counsel to Wearable Devices Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the offer and resale by the selling shareholder identified in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Shareholder”) of up to 1,670,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), consisting of: (i) up to 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares, issuable upon the exercise of certain outstanding warrants sold by the Company to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated September 11, 2025, by and between the Company and the Selling Shareholder (the “September 11 Agreement”), at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (the “September 12 Warrants”) and (ii) up to 670,000 Ordinary Shares, issuable upon the exercise of certain outstanding warrants sold by the Company to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated September 12, 2025, by and between the Company and the Selling Shareholder (the “September 12 Agreement”, and together with the September 11 Agreement, the “Securities Purchase Agreements”), at an exercise price of $6.00 per share (the “September 15 Warrants”, and together with the September 12 Warrants, the “Warrants”, and the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”).
This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Items 601(b)(5) and (b)(23) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.
In connection herewith, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, to which this opinion is attached as an exhibit, (ii) a copy of the amended and restated articles of association of the Company (the “Articles”); (iii) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and of Board committees, which have heretofore been approved and which relate to the Registration Statement and the actions to be taken in connection with the entry into the Securities Purchase Agreements, the issuance of the Warrants and the potential issuance of the Warrant Shares; and (iv) such other corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth. We have also made inquiries of such officers and representatives as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth.
In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents. Other than our examination of the documents indicated above, we have made no other examination in connection with this opinion.
We have further assumed that at the time of issuance and to the extent any such issuance would exceed the maximum share capital of the Company currently authorized, the number of Ordinary Shares that the Company is authorized to issue shall have been increased in accordance with the Articles such that a sufficient number of Shares are authorized and available for issuance under the Articles.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and when issued and sold by the Company and delivered by the Company against receipt of the exercise price therefor, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We are members of the Israel Bar, and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Israel and have not, for the purpose of giving this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any other jurisdiction than the State of Israel. This opinion set forth herein is made as of the date hereof and subject to, and may be limited by, future changes in the factual matters set forth herein, and we undertake no duty to advise you of the same. This opinion expressed herein is based upon the law in effect (and published or otherwise generally available) on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion, should such law be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise. In rendering our opinion, we have not considered, and hereby disclaim any opinion as to, the application or impact of any laws, cases, decisions, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction, court or administrative agency. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters.
This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose, or furnished to, quoted or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written consent, except that (A) this opinion may be furnished or quoted to judicial or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over you, and (B) this opinion may be relied upon by purchasers and holders of the securities covered by the Registration Statement currently entitled to rely on it pursuant to applicable provisions of federal securities law.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.
