Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the grant of 5,929,503 unregistered options to Dr. Ron Babecoff on August 3, 2015. This transaction was previously disclosed in filings dated June 19, 2015, and July 28, 2015. Consequently, the total number of unregistered options outstanding increased by approximately 169%.
Dr. Babecoff's ownership percentage of unregistered options rose from 2.28% to 63.69% of that specific security class. However, his voting power on an issued basis remains 0% as these are options, not ordinary shares.

- Confirm the total number of outstanding options and the potential dilution impact on existing shareholders upon exercise.
- Review the Company's most recent Form 20-F for actual financial performance metrics, as this 6-K contains none.
