Silexion Therapeutics Corp (“New Silexion”) (hereinafter -"the Company" or the “combined company”) is a newly formed entity that was formed for the purpose of effecting the Transactions (see below), and now serves as a publicly-traded
holding company of its subsidiaries — including Moringa Acquisition Corp (“Moringa” or “the SPAC”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and Silexion Therapeutics Ltd. (formerly known as Silenseed Ltd.) (“Silexion”), an Israeli limited
company— after the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”).
|
|
|
b. |
Financial Information Presented:
|
|
|
c. |
Subsidiaries:
|
|
|
1. |
Silenseed (China) Ltd. On April 28, 2021, Silexion (as the predecessor entity to the Company) signed an agreement with Guangzhou Sino-Israel Biotech Investment Fund (“GIBF”) to establish a new company in China. On June 15, 2021
a company was established in China, named Silenseed (China) Ltd. (hereinafter - the "Subsidiary"). As of September 30, 2024, following transfer of all interests in the Subsidiary to the Company as part of the Transactions, the Company
owns (directly or indirectly) 100% of the shares of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary has no significant operations as of September 30, 2024 (see Note c).
|
|
|
2. |
Moringa. Prior to the Transactions, Moringa’s class A ordinary shares and warrants were listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq: MACA and MACAW). As part of the Transactions, Moringa merged with a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company and now serves as an inactive, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
|
|
|
3. |
Silexion. Silexion was incorporated in Israel and began its operations on November 30, 2008. Since its incorporation, Silexion has been engaged in one operating segment - the research and development of innovative treatments for
pancreatic cancer based on siRNAs, aiming to stop the production of a specific pancreatic cancer-causing protein known as the KRAS mutation. Silexion’s long-lived assets are located in Israel.
|
|
|
4. |
The Company, the Subsidiary, Moringa and Silexion are together referred to hereinafter as “the Group”.
|
|
|
d. |
On April 3, 2024, Silexion entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (hereinafter, “A&R BCA”) with the SPAC, New Silexion, August M.S. Ltd. an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion
(“Merger Sub 1”), and Moringa Acquisition Merger Sub Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion (“Merger Sub 2”). Under the A&R BCA, both Silexion and the SPAC were toi become wholly-owned
subsidiaries of New Silexion, which was to become a publicly-held, Nasdaq-listed entity (the A&R BCA and related transactions: the “Transactions”).
|
|
|
e. |
In connection with the closing of the Transactions, the ordinary shares and warrants of New Silexion are now listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and began trading under the symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW”, respectively.
|
|
|
f. |
For more information on instruments issued as part of the Transactions, see Note 3.
|
|
|
g. |
The Transactions were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Silexion was treated as the accounting acquirer and the SPAC was treated as the “acquired” company for
financial reporting purposes. Silexion was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
|
|
|
h. |
In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas
and commenced a military campaign against Hamas and other terrorist organizations.
|
|
|
i. |
Going concern:
|
|
|
|
The Company expects to continue incurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing
alternatives, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities, general and administrative expenses and working capital through fund raising. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be
successful in obtaining such funding.
Under these circumstances, in accordance with the requirements of ASC 205-40, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern (see Note 1 (d)).
|
|
|
a. |
Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements and follow the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim
financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024, and the consolidated results of operations, statements of
changes in redeemable convertible preferred shares and capital deficiency and cash flows for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The consolidated results for the nine-months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31,
2024.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Silexion as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in a current report on Form 8-K and in a registration statement on Form S-1/A which the Company is filing with the SEC presently. The significant accounting policies
adopted and used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
|
|
|
b. |
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate share-based compensation and to fair value of financial instruments. See Note 6 and
Notes 4 and 7, respectively. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, future expectations, and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates.

Fair value measurement
|
|
|
Level 1: |
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
|
|
|
Level 2: |
Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data or active market data of similar or identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 3 |
Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

New accounting pronouncements:
|
|
|
1) |
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU improves reportable segments disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about
significant segment expenses. The ASU also require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The ASU is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's segment
disclosures.
|
|
|
2) |
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate
reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and allows adoption on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. The Company is in
the process of assessing the impacts and method of adoption.
|
|
|
3) |
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and
provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will, inter alia, disclose amounts of purchases of
inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption (such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.

Underwriters Promissory Note
Prior to the Closing, Moringa reached agreement with EarlyBird Capital, Inc. (“EarlyBird”) on the reduction, to $1,600, in the aggregate, of the fee payable to EarlyBird under the
Marketing Agreement entered into by Moringa with EarlyBird at the time of Moringa’s initial public offering (“IPO”). At the Closing, Moringa paid $350 of cash to EarlyBird from its Trust Account and New Silexion issued to EarlyBird a
convertible promissory note, due December 31, 2025, in an amount of $1,250 to be paid by New Silexion to EarlyBird in cash or via conversion of outstanding amounts into ordinary shares of New Silexion (the “EarlyBird Convertible Note”).
The EarlyBird Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum and matures on December 31, 2025. If not repaid on or prior to that maturity date or such earlier date as to
which the repayment obligation may be accelerated under the note, or not converted in accordance with the terms thereof, the rate of interest applicable to the unpaid principal amount would be adjusted to (15%) per annum. New Silexion
is required to make mandatory prepayments on the note in amounts equal to 10% of the gross proceeds received by New Silexion from any equity financings consummated by it prior to the maturity date.
New Silexion is entitled to voluntarily prepay any additional part of, or all of, the principal and accrued interest, in one or more installments without penalty, prior to the maturity
date.
|
|
|
|
EarlyBird, in turn, may elect, at its sole discretion, at any time on or prior to the maturity date, to elect to convert all or part of the then outstanding principal and/or accrued interest under the
EarlyBird Convertible Note into New Silexion ordinary shares, at a per share conversion price equal to 95% of the volume weighted average price of a New Silexion ordinary share for the five trading days immediately prior to the date
of New Silexion’s receipt of a conversion notice.
As of the date of this report, the Company repaid $100 of the EarlyBird Convertible Note as a result of the share issuance under the ELOC Agreement; see Note 3(d).
|
|
|
b. |
Sponsor Promissory Note
Effective as of the Closing, New Silexion issued to the Sponsor in replacement in their entirety of all previously existing promissory notes issued by Moringa to
the Sponsor from its IPO until the Closing, an amended and restated promissory note (the “A&R Sponsor Promissory Note”) in an amount of $3,433. This reflected the total amount owed by Moringa to the Sponsor through the Closing Date.
The maturity date of the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note is the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date (i.e., February 15, 2027). Amounts outstanding under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note may be repaid (unless otherwise decided by
New Silexion) only by way of conversion into New Silexion ordinary shares (“Note Shares”). New Silexion and the Sponsor may also convert amounts outstanding under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note at the price per share at which New
Silexion conducts an equity financing following the Closing, subject to a minimum conversion amount of $100, in an amount of Note Shares constituting up to thirty percent (30%) of the number of New Silexion ordinary shares issued and
sold by New Silexion in such equity financing. The Sponsor may also elect to convert amounts of principal outstanding under the note into New Silexion ordinary shares at any time following the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date,
subject to a minimum conversion of $10, at a price per share equal to the volume weighted average price of the New Silexion ordinary shares on the principal market on which they are traded during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to
the conversion date.
As of the date of this report, the Company has neither repaid, nor converted into New Silexion ordinary shares, any principal amounts outstanding under the Sponsor
Promissory Note.
|
|
|
c. |
PIPE Financing
In connection with, and immediately prior to the Closing of the Transactions, Moringa raised $2,000 via a private investment in public entity financing (the “PIPE
Financing”), whereby Moringa sold to Greenstar, LP, an affiliate of the Moringa Sponsor (the “PIPE Investor”), 22,223 newly issued Moringa ordinary shares at a price of $90.00 per share, pursuant to a subscription agreement, dated as of
August 15, 2024, by and among Moringa, New Silexion and the PIPE Investor (the “PIPE Agreement”). Those 22,223 shares automatically converted upon the Closing of the Transactions into an equivalent number of New Silexion ordinary shares
(the “PIPE Shares”).
|
|
|
d. |
ELOC Financing
In connection with the Closing, New Silexion entered into an ordinary share purchase agreement, effective as of the Closing Date (the “ELOC Agreement”), for an
equity line of credit (the “ELOC”) with White Lion Capital, LLC (the “ELOC Investor”), whereby New Silexion will be able to request to sell to the ELOC Investor, and the ELOC Investor will be required to purchase, via private placement
transactions, up to $15,000 of New Silexion ordinary shares from time to time after the Closing, up until December 31, 2025 (unless the agreement is terminated sooner), subject to certain limitations and conditions as described therein.
The number of New Silexion ordinary shares that New Silexion may require the ELOC Investor to purchase in any single sales notice will depend on a number of factors, including the type of purchase notice that New Silexion delivers.
Similarly, the purchase price to be paid by the ELOC Investor for any shares that New Silexion requires it to purchase will depend on the type of sales notice that New Silexion delivers.
|
|
|
|
Purchase price is determined with reference to either the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares during a period of three
consecutive business days ending on the notice date times 97% or lowest traded price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the notice date.
Pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, New Silexion agreed, among other things, that if New Silexion’s sales to the ELOC Investor under the ELOC exceed 19.99% of New
Silexion’s total number of ordinary shares outstanding, New Silexion will seek the approval of its shareholders for the issuance of any New Silexion ordinary shares under the ELOC in excess of that amount, in accordance with the
Nasdaq Listing Rules, subject to certain exceptions based on the price of the New Silexion ordinary shares to be sold in excess of that limit.
In consideration for the commitments of the ELOC Investor, New Silexion agreed to issue to the ELOC Investor an aggregate of $337.5 of New Silexion ordinary
shares (the “ELOC Commitment Shares”). On September 18, 2024 the Company issued 40,602 ordinary shares to White Lion LLC as the Commitment Shares. Issuance expenses amounted to $52.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 116,667 ordinary shares under the ELOC at an
average price of $6.255 per share, net of fees of approximately $20. The net proceeds from those sales were $620. For further information see Note 11.

SPAC Warrants
On the Closing Date, Moringa, New Silexion and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”) entered into a certain Assignment, Assumption and Amendment
Agreement (the “New Warrant Agreement”). The New Warrant Agreement amended Moringa’s Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2021, to provide for the assignment by Moringa of all its rights, title and interest in the warrants of
Moringa to New Silexion.
Upon Closing, New Silexion assumed 638,889 warrants sold by Moringa in its IPO (“Public Warrants”) and 21,112 warrants sold by Moringa to the Sponsor and EarlyBird concurrently with its IPO (the “Private
Warrants”, and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each such Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share of New Silexion of $103.50 per share, subject to adjustment. No fractional shares will be
issued upon exercise of the Warrants. Each Warrant became exercisable 30 days after the Closing and will expire after five years after the completion of the Closing or earlier upon redemption (only in the case of the Public Warrants)
or liquidation.
Once the Public Warrants became exercisable, the Company may redeem them in whole and not in part at a price of $0.09 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior
written notice of redemption, if and only if the last reported sale price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $162.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third
trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders.
The Company recognized a net liability, measured at fair value through profit or loss, from the Transactions (see also Note 2). As such, transaction costs related
to the Transactions were expensed as incurred.
The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that, for so long as they are held by the Sponsor, EarlyBird or their respective affiliates, the
Private Warrants: (1) will not be redeemable by the Company; (2) could not (subject to certain limited exceptions), be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders thereof until 30 days after the Closing; (3) may be exercised by the
holders thereof on a cashless basis; and (4) are entitled to registration rights.

On August 15, 2024, the Company vacated its office spaces and facilities in Israel. On September 8, 2024, an early termination agreement for the operating lease was signed with the landlord, which included a termination penalty. As a
result, the Company derecognized the right-of-use asset and the lease liability in its financial statements, recording a loss of $68 from the lease termination and an additional $18 from the disposal of leasehold improvements.
|
|
|
b. |
On September 26, 2024 the Company signed a new lease agreement for an office in Israel starting November 1, 2024 and ending on October 31, 2026. The Company will pay a monthly payment of $10 to the lessor.

On May 30, 2023, Silexion issued warrants to acquire 2,413 Series A-4 Preferred Shares to various investors, with an exercise price of $222.921 per share and an expiration date of May 30, 2025. Issuance
expenses amounted to $3. On August 6, 2024, all of these warrants were exercised via a ‘cashless’ manner for 913 Preferred A4 shares of Silexion.
Silexion classified the warrants for the purchase of shares of its convertible redeemable preferred shares as a liability in its consolidated balance sheets, as these warrants were freestanding financial
instruments which underlying shares were contingently redeemable and, therefore, may have obligated the Company to transfer assets at some point in the future. The warrant liability was initially recorded at fair value upon the date
of issuance and was subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. The Company (or Silexion, as applicable) recorded revaluation expenses amounting to $134 and $40 for the nine months periods ended September 30, 2024
and September 30, 2023 , respectively, and revaluation (income) expenses amounting to $(11) and $43 for the three months periods ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and accounted for such revaluation expenses as part of
its financial (income) expense, net, in the statements of operations (see Note 8).
For further information in respect of warrants granted to a service provider and exercised, see Note 7.
For cashless exercise of these warrants see Note 1(d).
|
|
|
|
The Company's (or Silexion’s, as applicable) share-based expenses amounted to a total of $5,862 and $96 in the nine months periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30,
2024, 63,953 shares remain available for grant under the Company’s 2013, 2023 and 2024 Equity Incentive Plans.
On July 4, 2024, Silexion’s board of directors approved granting fully vested 78,650 RSUs to Silexion’s employees and directors amounting to a total of $5,578. For a description of the acceleration of
the Company’s options prior to the Closing of the Transactions, see Note 1(d).

Note 11(1) to the audited financial statements of Silexion as of December 31, 2023, which were published on May 9, 2024).

ELOC agreement
As the ELOC agreement is in substance a purchased call option over the Company’s own shares at a price mentioned in Note 3(d), the fair value of this agreement will generally be
approximately zero, until the Company sells shares under the agreement. Once the Company sells share under the agreement, the difference between cash raised (net of transaction costs) and the closing price of the
Ordinary Shares as of the date of their issuance is recognized as financing income or expenses.
Fair value gain and losses arising from ELOC agreement are measured with reference to the spot price of the Company’s shares sold less consideration receivable from the investor.
Warrant to preferred shares
The fair value of Silexion’s warrant to purchase preferred shares as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023 was estimated using a hybrid model in order to reflect two scenarios:
(1) an IPO event (including de-SPAC transaction) and (2) other liquidation events. For further details see Note 12 in the annual consolidated financial statements.
The valuation under the ‘other liquidation events’ scenario was assessed using an option pricing model (OPM) by implementing a Monte Carlo Simulation, which treats the financial
instruments
in Silexion’s equity as contingent claims whose future payoff depends on Silexion’s future equity value. Silexion’s entire equity value in 2023 was calculated based, among others, on
the financing round closest to the valuation date.
Promissory Notes
In measuring the fair value of the Company’s Promissory Notes, a discount rate of 11.4%-13.1% was used, based on a B- rated US dollar zero-coupon discount curve, plus a credit spread
of 6.67%. The expected timing of conversion or redemption of the notes was determined using the Company’s forecasts.
|
|
|
|
Warrants over ordinary shares
A Black-Scholes-Merton model with Level 3 inputs was used to calculate the warrants’ fair value. Inherent in a Black-Scholes-Merton model are assumptions related to expected life
(term), expected stock price, volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from
historical volatility of selected peer companies’ Class A ordinary shares that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve
on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based
on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs of the warrants:

Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period,
including fully vested pre-funded options for the Company’s (or Silexion’s, as applicable) ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.027 or 0.0063 NIS per share, as the Company (or Silexion, as
applicable) considers these shares to be exercised for little to no additional consideration.
As of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the basic loss per share calculation included a weighted average number of 133 and 14,652, respectively, of fully vested
pre-funded options. As the inclusion of other potential ordinary shares equivalents in the calculation would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic
net loss per share.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The ASU clarifies that a contractual restriction on
the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring
|
|
|
2) |
its fair value. The ASU also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The ASU also introduces new
disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. As an Emerging Growth Company, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-03 will have on its
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
|
|
|
3) |
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU improves reportable segments disclosure
requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU also require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments and all
existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU
to determine its impact on the Company's segment disclosures.
|
|
|
4) |
In December, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories
for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and allows adoption on a prospective basis,
with a retrospective option. The Company is in the process of assessing the impacts and method of adoption.

Silenseed China Minority Equityholder Rights:
|
|
|
a. |
Conversion ("Put/Call") Option: Either GIBF or the Company may elect that the equity rights of GIBF in the Subsidiary shall be exchanged for the most senior shares (i.e., preferred
shares) of the Company, consequently turning the Subsidiary into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The number of shares to be issued to GIBF upon such exchange shall be calculated by converting the total cash amount invested by
GIBF in the Subsidiary (the "Contribution Amount"), into the most senior class of shares of the Company as of May 30, 2023, based on a pre-money valuation of the Company of US$20 million on a fully diluted basis as of September 1, 2023,
or later, as shall be mutually agreed between the parties.
|
|
|
b. |
"Company Exit Event" means the consummation of: (i) an initial public offering of Company, in a stock exchange, directly or via a SPAC (or similar methods); (ii) the sale of all or
substantially all of the securities or assets of the Company (or an exclusive license with respect to all or substantially all of the assets of Company); (iii) a merger or acquisition of the Company (following which existing
shareholders as of immediately prior to such transaction hold less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity); (iv) sale of at least 50% of the means of control or assets of the Company; (v) liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company; or (vi) at any time upon a party’s written notice, provided, however that the exercise of such right by the Company shall be subject to GIBF’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
|
|
|
1) |
Anti-Dilution Protection: If the Subsidiary issues any additional equity rights in the Subsidiary to a third-party investor in the next two equity investment
rounds of the Subsidiary, reflecting a purchase price per equity right lower than the purchase price per equity right paid by GIBF, GIBF will be issued additional equity rights of the Subsidiary for no consideration, based on a broad
based weighted average formula.
|
|
|
2) |
Registration Rights: GIBF shall be entitled to the same rights to register its equity rights in the Subsidiary as part of an IPO of the Subsidiary, as granted to
Company, on a pro-rata basis.
|
|
|
3) |
Liquidation Preference: In the event of an IPO in which the Subsidiary's valuation is at least $200 million or an Exit Event (as defined in the Subsidiary’s
Articles), GIBF shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets legally available for distribution to equity holders of the Subsidiary (the "Distributable Proceeds"), prior to any payment made to any other equity holder, an amount in
cash equal to the Contribution Amount (the "Preference Amount"). Following payment of the Preference Amount, any remaining Distributable Proceeds shall be distributed among all holders of equity rights excluding GIBF, on a pro-rata
basis, provided that GIBF shall have the right to waive its right to receive the Preference Amount, in which case all Distributable Proceeds shall be distributed among all equity holders of the Subsidiary on a pari passu and pro rata
basis.
|
|
|
4) |
Other rights, such as right of first refusal for GIBF to purchase the Company’s equity rights in the Subsidiary if the Company proposes to sell or receives an offer to sell its
equity rights; a right of co-sale for GIBF to participate in a proposed sale of the Company’s equity rights in the Subsidiary on a pro-rata basis; a preemptive right for both investors to participate in the issuance of new securities by
the Subsidiary until the consummation of an IPO or an Exit Event (as defined in the Subsidiary’s Articles).

a. |
On February 21, 2024, the Company entered into a business combination agreement with Moringa Acquisition Corp. (the “SPAC”), an exempted company incorporated under the Laws of the
Cayman Islands whose class A ordinary shares (as well as other instruments) are listed for trade on the Nasdaq Global Market (NASDAQ:MACA), and April.M.G. Ltd. (the “April Merger Sub”), a limited liability company organized under the
laws of the State of Israel and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SPAC (the “Original BCA”). According to the Original BCA, April Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company, with the
Company continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SPAC, and with the SPAC continuing as a public company following the completion of the merger and with its securities continuing to be traded on Nasdaq.
|
|
|
b. |
On April 3, 2024, the SPAC and the Company restructured the transactions contemplated under the Original BCA by entering into the A&R BCA by and among Biomotion Sciences, a
Cayman Islands exempted company (the “New Pubco”), August M.S. Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco (the “Merger Sub 1”), Moringa Acquisition Merger Sub Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a
wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco (the “Merger Sub 2”), the SPAC and the Company. The A&R BCA amends and restates, in its entirety, the Original BCA.
