The company's business faces significant risks that could adversely affect its financial condition and the price of its Ordinary Shares[17](index=17&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Business and Industry](index=11&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Business%20and%20Industry) Success depends on proprietary technology, key personnel, and navigating the nascent TES market, facing risks from third-party reliance, regulatory changes, and cybersecurity threats - The company is highly dependent on the successful development, marketing, and sale of its proprietary TES systems and faces competition from potentially better-capitalized competitors[18](index=18&type=chunk)[19](index=19&type=chunk) - Success is heavily reliant on key employees, particularly CEO Avraham Brenmiller, and the loss of their services could harm the business plan[22](index=22&type=chunk) - The business has pivoted to the bGen™ TES system, making it difficult to evaluate future prospects and increasing the risk of failure if pilot projects are not successful[27](index=27&type=chunk)[32](index=32&type=chunk) - Dependence on third-party manufacturers and suppliers creates vulnerability to supply shortages, increased costs, and quality control issues[39](index=39&type=chunk)[40](index=40&type=chunk)[42](index=42&type=chunk) - The company relies on certain raw materials like metal parts and stainless-steel pipes, exposed to price and availability fluctuations from external factors[47](index=47&type=chunk)[49](index=49&type=chunk) - Operations require obtaining and maintaining various regulatory permits, certifications, and authorizations, and regulatory changes could increase costs or cause delays[53](index=53&type=chunk)[54](index=54&type=chunk)[56](index=56&type=chunk) - The company's IT systems are vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents, potentially leading to data loss, operational disruptions, and liabilities[65](index=65&type=chunk)[66](index=66&type=chunk)[78](index=78&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements](index=17&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Financial%20Condition%20and%20Capital%20Requirements) Financial stability is pressured by a "going concern" warning, historical losses, and the need for substantial additional funding, compounded by royalty obligations and restrictive loan covenants - Management and auditors concluded a material uncertainty exists regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to historical net losses and negative operating cash flows[79](index=79&type=chunk)[80](index=80&type=chunk) - The company requires substantial additional capital for research, development, and commercialization, and failure to obtain it could curtail business plans[82](index=82&type=chunk)[83](index=83&type=chunk)[85](index=85&type=chunk) - The company has not generated significant revenue, expects future operating losses, and may never achieve profitability[86](index=86&type=chunk)[87](index=87&type=chunk)[91](index=91&type=chunk) - The company is obligated to pay royalties on revenues to various government bodies (IIA, BIRD Foundation, NYPA) and the EIB, impacting profitability[100](index=100&type=chunk)[101](index=101&type=chunk)[104](index=104&type=chunk) -

The company's ability to compete effectively depends on obtaining and maintaining patent rights and protecting trade secrets[106](index=106&type=chunk)[107](index=107&type=chunk) - The company could be adversely affected by third-party intellectual property rights, potentially requiring costly litigation or unfavorable licenses[112](index=112&type=chunk)[113](index=113&type=chunk)[115](index=115&type=chunk) - Lawsuits to protect or enforce the company's own intellectual property could be expensive, time-consuming, and ultimately unsuccessful[120](index=120&type=chunk)[121](index=121&type=chunk)[122](index=122&type=chunk) - Protecting intellectual property rights worldwide is prohibitively expensive, and foreign laws may offer less protection than in the United States[126](index=126&type=chunk)[128](index=128&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Ownership of our Ordinary Shares](index=24&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Ownership%20of%20our%20Ordinary%20Shares) Ordinary Share ownership risks include high price volatility, concentrated control by principal shareholders, less stringent disclosure as a foreign private issuer, potential PFIC classification, and dual listing price variations -

The company may be classified as a "passive foreign investment company" (PFIC), potentially resulting in negative U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. taxpayers[145](index=145&type=chunk)[146](index=146&type=chunk) - As a "foreign private issuer" and "emerging growth company," the company is subject to less stringent disclosure and corporate governance requirements than U.S. domestic companies[150](index=150&type=chunk)[154](index=154&type=chunk)[155](index=155&type=chunk) - The dual trading of Ordinary Shares on both the TASE (in NIS) and Nasdaq (in USD) may result in price variations due to different currencies, time zones, and trading days[179](index=179&type=chunk) [Risks Related to our Incorporation and Our Operations in Israel](index=30&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20our%20Incorporation%20and%20Our%20Operations%20in%20Israel) Israeli operations face political, economic, and military instability risks, government grant restrictions on technology transfer, currency exchange rate fluctuations, and differences in legal frameworks affecting shareholder rights - The company's headquarters, production facilities, and key management are located in Israel, making operations susceptible to regional political, economic, and military instability[181](index=181&type=chunk)[182](index=182&type=chunk)[184](index=184&type=chunk) - Grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) and other government bodies require royalty payments and restrict intellectual property or manufacturing transfer outside Israel without approval[192](index=192&type=chunk)[193](index=193&type=chunk)[194](index=194&type=chunk) - The company is exposed to currency exchange rate fluctuations, with most expenses in NIS and significant revenues expected in USD and other currencies[188](index=188&type=chunk)[189](index=189&type=chunk) - Enforcing a U.S. court judgment against the company or its management in Israel may be difficult, and shareholder rights are governed by Israeli law, differing materially from U.S. law[227](index=227&type=chunk)[228](index=228&type=chunk)[229](index=229&type=chunk) - Provisions of Israeli law and agreements, such as the EIB facility requiring the founder to maintain at least **25%** ownership, may delay or prevent a merger or acquisition[198](index=198&type=chunk)[225](index=225&type=chunk)
