Material Corporate Actions
- Save Foods, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged with a newly formed wholly owned Nevada corporation in a reincorporation merger effective November 6, 2023.

- The transaction changed the registrant’s domicile from Delaware to Nevada and replaced governance under the DGCL with governance under the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Financial Metrics, Liquidity, and Debt

Changes in Stockholder Rights and Governance
- The company stated that the reincorporation did not materially modify stockholder rights, although stockholder rights are now governed by Nevada law, the new Articles of Incorporation, and Nevada Bylaws.
- The Nevada Articles provide for a three-class staggered board beginning in 2024.
- The Nevada Articles provide broader statutory limitations on director and officer liability and indemnification than may be available under Delaware law.
- The Nevada Bylaws designate Nevada state and federal courts as the exclusive forum for specified corporate and fiduciary claims, replacing the prior Delaware Court of Chancery forum.
- The company opted out of certain Nevada anti-takeover provisions, including the business-combination statute and the acquisition-of-controlling-interest statute.
- Special stockholder meetings may generally be called only by the board, subject to applicable law and preferred-stock rights.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- No financial guidance, operating outlook, or management forecast was provided.
- The principal unusual item is the cross-state reincorporation merger, which was undertaken solely to change the company’s domicile.
- The merger was approved by the Delaware board on July 30, 2023, Delaware stockholders on October 2, 2023, and the relevant Nevada corporate approvals on November 3, 2023.
- The company stated that the share issuance in the merger was exempt from Securities Act registration under Rule 145(a)(2), because the merger’s sole purpose was to change the corporation’s domicile.
- The merger agreement was intended to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
