Shareholders’ Equity [Abstract]  
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

NOTE 11 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

 

a. During January and February 2023, the Company purchased 7,920 shares of its common stock, for a total price of $50. As of December Total of 10,690 common stock are held by the company as treasury shares.

 

b. Offering of common stocks and warrants May 2023:

 

On May 8, 2023, the Company completed a fund-raising round in a total gross amount of $3,500 pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (the “Holder”) in a private placement (the “Offering”):

 

1. 190,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value;

 

2. 754,670 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 754,670 shares of Common Stock for an exercise price of $0.0001 which are exercisable (either physically or on net-cash basis at the Holder’s discretion) immediately upon their issuance until their full exercise. Their exercise price is adjustable upon dilutive events (such as subsequent rights offerings, pro-rata distributions and stock dividends and splits). The Holder also has certain rights upon a fundamental transaction (as defined in the agreement) as specified in the agreement. The warrants were classified as equity pursuant to ASC 815-40. During July and August 2023, the Holder elected to exercise 754,670 of the pre-funded warrant. The total exercise price in the amount of $0.0755 was paid in cash.

 

3. warrants to purchase up to 944,670 shares of Common Stock (“Common Warrants”) for an exercise price of $3.58 which are exercisable (physically or upon occurrence of certain events on net-cash basis at the Holder’s discretion) immediately upon their issuance until November 8, 2028. Their exercise price is adjustable upon dilutive events (such as subsequent rights offerings, pro-rata distributions and stock dividends and splits). The Holder also possesses a right to receive any additional consideration that holders of common stocks may be entitled to upon a fundamental transaction (as defined in the agreement).

 

The Company determined that the Common Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore are precluded from equity classification. The Common Warrants will be measured at fair value at inception and in subsequent reporting periods with changes in fair value recognized as financial income or expense as change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the period of change in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The Common Warrants were recorded at fair value on May 8, 2023, at $1,972 and were classified as a long-term liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the residual value allocated to the common stock and pre-funded warrants which were classified as equity.

 

On September 30, 2023, the Company and the Holder entered into a Common warrants amendment agreement (the “Amendment”) to amend the Common warrants to purchase up to 944,670 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 issued to the Holder. The Amendment made certain adjustments to the definition of a “Fundamental Transaction” in Common Warrant agreement. Additionally, the Amendment increased the number of Common Warrants to include an additional 55,000 Common warrants and changed the exercise price of the Common Warrants to $2.75.

 

The Company reclassified the Common warrants as equity based on the guidance provided under ASC 815-40, due to the adjustments stated in the amendment. As of the date of the amendment of the Common warrants, the fair value of the warrants was estimated at $314.

Upon the consummation of the Offering and pursuant to an agreement entered into with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Underwriter”), the Company has paid in cash to the Underwriter (and the escrow agent) a total amount of $291. The Company has also granted to the Underwriter upon the consummation of the Offering, warrants to purchase up to 66,127 of the Company’s common stocks which carry the same terms as the common stock warrants, except for the exercise price which reflect 125% of the share price in the Offering ($4.6313). The warrants are classified as mezzanine equity based on the guidance provided under ASC 480-10-S99-3A and SAB Topic 14. E.

Their exercise price is adjustable upon dilutive events (such as subsequent rights offerings, pro-rata distributions and stock dividends and splits). The Holder also possesses a right to receive any additional consideration that holders of common stocks may be entitled to upon a fundamental transaction (as defined in the agreement).

h. Share-based compensation:

 

On June 30, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2015 Plan”).

 

Under the 2015 Plan, the Board of Directors approved the granting of Incentive Share Options, Non-statutory shares options, share appreciation rights, restricted share and restricted share units (RSU’s) to employees, directors, and consultants. The exercise price of an option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share of common stock on the date of grant for incentive share options (not less than 110% of the fair market value for shareholders owning more than 10% of all classes of share) as determined by the Board of Directors. The maximum option term is 10 years (five years for shareholders owning more than 10% of all classes of share). The 2015 Plan grants the Board of Directors the discretion to determine when the options granted become exercisable.

 

Pursuant to the current Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance, which came into effect on January 1, 2003, options and RSUs may be granted through a trustee (i.e., Approved 102 Options) or not through a trustee (i.e., Unapproved 102 Options). The Subsidiary elected to grant its options and RSU’s through a trustee. As a result, the Subsidiary will not be allowed to claim as an expense for tax purposes in Israel the amounts credited to the employee as capital gains to the grantees, although it will generally be entitled to do so in respect of the salary income component (if any) of such awards when the related tax is paid by the employee.
