Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
- Dismissal of U.S. Class Action: On July 7, 2025, the U.S. lead plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the class action complaint filed approximately four months prior. The dismissal was approved by the Court on July 8, 2025.
- No Settlement: The filing explicitly clarifies that there was no settlement between the parties regarding the U.S. Complaint.
- Israeli Proceedings Status: Proceedings in a related Israeli Motion, which were previously stayed pending the U.S. matter, remain in limbo. Plaintiffs have not yet indicated if they intend to renew the Israeli proceedings.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management maintains that the Israeli Motion, like the dismissed U.S. Complaint, is without merit. The company intends to defend itself vigorously if the Israeli proceedings are renewed. However, the filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers, noting that litigation outcomes are inherently difficult to predict. An unfavorable outcome in the Israeli Motion could have a material adverse effect on the company's operating results, liquidity, or financial position.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Confirm the official court docket for the District of New Jersey to verify the voluntary dismissal of the U.S. Complaint.
- Monitor the Economic Department of the District Court in Tel Aviv for any updates regarding the status of the Israeli Motion.
- Review the company's most recent Form 20-F (filed March 20, 2025) for detailed risk factors related to ongoing litigation.
- Verify that no settlement payments or legal reserves were recorded in the most recent financial statements, as the filing states no settlement occurred.
