PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

This summary contains basic information about us and our business but does not contain all of the information that is important to your investment decision. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully read this summary together with the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). Investors should carefully consider the information set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, including those described in documents incorporated by reference herein.

About Our Company

Our mission at SEALSQ is to pioneer the integration of digital trust into the physical world.

SEALSQ stands at the intersection of physical and cyber trust, offering unparalleled assurance in an increasingly interconnected world. At the heart of our offerings is the innovative integration of Cybersecurity, Semiconductors and Post-Quantum Internet of Things (“IoT”.) We are transforming technology, utilizing IoT-generated data, protected and authenticated by our innovative technology, to enable operational enhancements.

SEALSQ is a semiconductor company, specializing in the design of secure microcontrollers, embedding countermeasures capable of resisting state of the art tampering attacks, including the anticipated attacks coming from Quantum computers. SEALSQ is one of the very few actors in the semiconductor industry who has been granted the highest security resistance level (CC EAL5+).

In addition, SEALSQ is a PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Root Certification Authority, certified by global organizations such as WEBTRUST, GSMA, CSA-MATTER, WI-SUN, each a leader in their respective field: SSL/TLS, telecom, utilities, home automation. SEALSQ plans to introduce to the market in Q4 2024 a Root Certification Authority combining both PKI legacy and PostQuantum (ie Quantum Computer Resistant) cryptographic standards.

SEALSQ is the unique Cybersecurity player combining both Semiconductor and PKI technologies, and capable of delivering to its customers best in class Secure Elements pre-personalized with strong digital identities.

SEALSQ technologies aim to provide connected devices (IoT) with a unique identity, and with cryptographic means used for their authentication, and their secure communications with the platforms that they interface with.

Accordingly, SEALSQ provides its customers with the technology foundation to comply with global regulatory standards (US CybertrustMark, EU Cyber Resistant Act) that the US and the EU will likely start enforcing in 2025.

SEALSQ uses a patented method to digitally certify the authenticity of a physical object of value. The method includes a storage device, a digital certificate of authenticity (encrypted information reflecting at least one characteristic unique to the physical object, checking, whenever required, the validity of the digital certificate of authenticity by use of a network computer), the network computer cooperating with the storage device and a validating or a certifying authority.

With a rich portfolio of 40 patent families, covering over 110 fundamental individual patents, and another 12 patents under review, SEALSQ continues to expand its platform use in various domains. SEALSQ semiconductors secure millions of objects: luxury products, high-end watches, routers, gateways, utilities meters, drones, authentication dongles, storage memory USB sticks, medical devices, connected door-locks, and electronic consumers devices, among others. These semiconductors include Digital Identification technology, such as Keys, Certificates or non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), that secures, authenticates, and proves ownership of digital and tangible assets.

Our semiconductors, when placed on an object, can securely link the object to NFTs, enabling authentication and tracking of the object. This model is much like an embedded ePassport, and confirm the identity of the object on the Blockchain ledger. This digital identity, used throughout the object’s lifetime, allows the object to become a “Trusted Object” of the Internet, and enables proof of its identity and provision of related verifiable data.

SEALSQ does not provide any technology or services in the management of the NFT creation or the distribution of NFTs. However, SEALSQ’s NFT-related business is to provide its security–related services, Secure Element, to customers in the form of security-enhanced semiconductors. The Secure Element service that SEALSQ provides enables SEALSQ’s customers to create and maintain a secure link between an object and its NFT (issued by a SEALSQ customer that purchases SEALSQ semiconductors) that is stored in a blockchain.

Recent Developments

December 16, 2024 Registered Direct Offering

December 12, 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement

On December 12, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “December 12 Purchase Agreement”) with several institutional investors named therein (the “December 16 Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue 7,692,308 Ordinary Shares to the December 16 Investors at a purchase price of US$1.30 per Ordinary Share, in a registered direct offering (the “December 16 Offering”). The closing of such registered direct offering occurred on December 16, 2024.

The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $10,000,000.00, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

The December 16 Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-283358), which was declared effective on November 27, 2024 by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”). A prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement was filed with the Commission on December 16, 2024.

S-3

Pursuant to the December 12 Purchase Agreement, we agreed not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of, any Ordinary Shares of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares of the Company or file any registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto until the earlier of (i) 90 days after the Note Tranche Closing (as defined below) or (ii) March 31, 2025, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior consent of the December 16 Investors.

In addition, we agreed not to effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance of Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) until 180 days after the Note Tranche Closing, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, we agreed that the terms of the warrants issued by the Company to the December 16 Investors prior to December 12, 2024 (each a “Prior Warrant” and collectively the “Prior Warrants”) will be modified, as of December 16, 2024, as follows: (a) lowering of the exercise price of each Prior Warrant to $2.00 per Ordinary Share, and (b) increase in the quantity of each Prior Warrant such that the aggregate exercise price of the Prior Warrant equals the aggregate exercise price on the issuance date. Further, the Company agreed that if the Company and December 16 Purchasers do not close an additional convertible note tranche in an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement, dated July 11, 2023, as amended, by January 16, 2025 (the “Note Tranche Closing”), then the reset above shall be based on the lowering of the exercise price to $1.30 per Ordinary Share (and also a corresponding increase in quantity of warrants as per (b) above).

December 12, 2024 Placement Agency Agreement

On December 12, 2024, we entered into a placement agency agreement with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which we agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Ordinary Shares in the December 16 Offering. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for up to $40,000 in accountable expenses, including the Placement Agent’s legal counsel’s fees.

Lock-Up Agreements

We, our parent company, WISeKey International Holding AG, and certain of our officers and directors have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of our Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our Ordinary Shares for a period of 90 days after the December 16 Offering is completed without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent.

SEALCOIN

The responsibility for the development of the decentralized technology project “SEALCOIN” was transferred to our parent company, WISeKey, as of June 27, 2024. While the SEALCOIN project was originally under development by WISeKey and SEALSQ as a collaborative ‘proof of concept’ (with the aim of assessing the practical potential of the concept), the parties concluded that the SEALCOIN platform and tokens would be developed by WISeKey (capitalizing on WISeKey’s cybersecurity expertise), whereas SEALSQ is to focus on the development of the related semiconductor technology hardware and firmware (capitalizing on SEALSQ’s semiconductor and PKI expertise). The future role of SEALSQ in this project is expected to be as a supplier of secure semiconductors to or through SEALCOIN AG, a subsidiary of WISeKey, with SEALCOIN AG as a distributor of those chips to B2B participants in the platform SEALCOIN AG will be developing. Agreements between SEALSQ Corp and SEALCOIN AG are to be entered into reflecting the commercial terms and the Company anticipates that the terms of this contract will be negotiated on an arm’s length basis and that the Company would aim to be the preferred supplier of secure semiconductors to SEALCOIN AG.

S-5

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our Ordinary Shares, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and those described under “Risk Factors” in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC, together with the other information included in this prospectus supplement, the base prospectus and incorporated by reference herein from our filings with the SEC. If any of such risks or uncertainties occurs, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business operations. As a result, the trading price of our Ordinary Shares could decline and you could lose all or a part of your investment.

Risks Related to this Offering

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of our Ordinary Shares you purchase in the offering.

The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the pro forma net tangible book value per Ordinary Share outstanding prior to this offering. After giving effect to the sale of 7,692,308 Ordinary Shares at a price of $1.30 per share on December 16, 2024, and after deducting aggregate offering expenses paid by us, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 would have been approximately $15.2 million or $0.24 per Ordinary Share.

After giving further effect to the sale of 13,157,896 Ordinary Shares at a price of $1.90 per share, and after deducting estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 would have been approximately $37.4 million, or $0.49 per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted pro forma net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $0.25 per Ordinary Share and an immediate dilution to purchasers in this offering of $1.41 per Ordinary Share

See the section entitled “Dilution” on page S-14 below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you may incur if you participate in this offering.

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that may not improve our business, financial condition or results of operations or enhance the value of our Ordinary Shares. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.

Resales of our Ordinary Shares in the public market following this offering may cause the trading price to fall.

The resale of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares could depress the trading price of our Ordinary Shares This offering of new Ordinary Shares could result in resales of our Ordinary Shares by our current stockholders concerned about the potential dilution of their holdings. If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market following the offering contemplated by this prospectus supplement, the trading price of our Ordinary Shares could fall.

Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile.

The market price of our Ordinary Shares has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. The variance in our stock price makes it difficult to forecast the stock price at which an investor may be able to buy or sell Ordinary Shares. The market price for our Ordinary Shares could be subject to fluctuations as a result of factors that are out of our control, such as:

●

actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;

●

general conditions and trends in the semiconductor industry; and

●

general economic, political and market conditions.

We may, in the future, issue additional Ordinary Shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

The future issuance of Ordinary Shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our Ordinary Shares held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any Ordinary Shares in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of Ordinary Shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.

An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not be sustained.

Although our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, the market for our Ordinary Shares has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity. The current level of trading may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market for our Ordinary Shares may impair investors’ ability to sell their Ordinary Shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair market value of their Ordinary Shares and may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling Ordinary Shares and may impair our ability to acquire additional assets by using our Ordinary Shares as consideration.

S-6

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of our Ordinary Shares in this offering will be approximately $23,100,000, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash represents our intentions based upon our current plans, financial condition and business conditions. The amount, timing and nature of specific expenditures of net proceeds from this offering will depend on a number of factors, including the timing, scope, progress and results of our development efforts and the timing and progress of any collaboration efforts. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of such proceeds.

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in order to fund the deployment of its next-generation post-quantum semiconductor technology and ASIC capabilities in the United States, to support working capital and for general corporate purposes.

 CERTAIN TAX CONSIDERATIONS

You should carefully read the discussion of the material British Virgin Islands and U.S. federal income tax considerations associated with our operations and the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares set forth in Section E, “Taxation,” of Item 10 of our Annual Report, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024 and incorporated by reference herein.

S-10

DILUTION

If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing the net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares. Dilution represents the difference between the portion of the amount per share paid by purchasers of Ordinary Shares in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Ordinary Shares immediately after giving effect to this offering. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $5.2 million, or $0.09 per Ordinary Share.

After giving effect to the sale of 7,692,308 Ordinary Shares at a price of $1.30 per share on December 16, 2024, and after deducting aggregate offering expenses paid by us, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 would have been approximately$15.2 million or $0.24 per Ordinary Share.

After giving further effect to the sale of 13,157,896 Ordinary Shares at a price of $1.90 per share, and after deducting estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 would have been approximately $37.4 million, or $0.49 per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted pro forma net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $0.25 per Ordinary Share and an immediate dilution to purchasers in this offering of $1.41 per Ordinary Share.

The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Assumed offering price per share			$	1.90
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024	$	0.09
Increase per share attributable to the sale on December 16, 2024	$	0.15
Pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024	$	0.24
Increase per share attributable to this offering	$	0.25
Pro Forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024, after giving effect to this offering			$	0.49
Dilution per share to new investors purchasing shares in this offering			$	1.41

The above discussion and table is based on 56,201,762 shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding, as of December 13, 2024, and excludes:

77 Class F Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Class F Share Options; and

4,577,356 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants to purchase up to 4,577,356 Ordinary Shares issued to the investors under the Amendment dated January 9, 2024 to the Note Purchase Agreement entered into with L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund Ltd and Anson Investments Master Fund LP at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (as repriced), which expire on January 9, 2029; and

4,227,736 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants to purchase up to 4,227,736 Ordinary Shares issued to the investors under the Amendment dated March 1, 2024 to the Note Purchase Agreement entered into with L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund Ltd and Anson Investments Master Fund LP at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (as repriced), which expire on March 1, 2029 (the “Third Tranche Warrants”).

Except as otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise of the outstanding options or warrants described above. To the extent that any of these outstanding warrants or options are exercised at prices per Ordinary Share below the public offering price per share in this offering or we issue additional Ordinary Shares under our equity incentive plans at prices below the public offering price per Ordinary Share in this offering, you may experience further dilution. In addition, to the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership will be further diluted.

The actual offering price of the securities we are offering were negotiated between us, the placement agent and the investors in the offering based on the trading price of our Ordinary Shares prior to the offering, among other things. Other factors considered in determining the public offering price of the securities we are offering, included our history and prospects, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, the general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters with respect to British Virgin Islands law in connection with this offering are being passed upon for us by Harney Westwood & Riegels LP.

EXPERTS

The financial statements incorporated in this prospectus supplement by reference to the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of BDO Ltd., an independent public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. The financial statements incorporated in this prospectus supplement by reference to the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of BDO Rhône Alpes, an independent public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and our principal executive offices are located outside the United States. Most of our directors and officers and those of our subsidiaries are residents of countries other than the United States. Substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and a substantial portion of the assets of our directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us, our directors or officers or our subsidiaries, or to realize against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Furthermore, there is substantial doubt that courts in jurisdictions outside the U.S. (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or our directors or officers based upon the civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our directors or officers based on those laws.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-3 under the Securities Act, relating to this offering of securities. This prospectus supplement does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement. The rules and regulations of the SEC allow us to omit certain information from this prospectus supplement that is included in the registration statement. Statements made in this prospectus supplement concerning the contents of any contract, agreement or other document are summaries of all material information about the documents summarized, but are not complete descriptions of all terms of these documents. If we filed any of these documents as an exhibit to the registration statement, you may read the document itself for a complete description of its terms.

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to foreign private issuers. In accordance with the Exchange Act, we file reports, including annual reports on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm. We also furnish to the SEC, under cover of Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, material information required to be made public by us or filed by us with and made public by any stock exchange or distributed by us to our shareholders. Such reports and other information filed with the SEC are available to the public over the internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. We also generally make available on our own website (www.sealsq.com) our quarterly and year-end financial statements as well as other information.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements to shareholders, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the “short-swing profits” reporting and liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related Exchange Act rules. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

We maintain a corporate website at www.sealsq.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus supplement. We have included our website address in this prospectus supplement solely as an inactive textual reference.

We may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings, Ordinary Shares, warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, subscription rights or units, which we collectively refer to as the “securities”. The aggregate initial offering price of the securities that we may offer and sell under this prospectus will not exceed $100,000,000.

Each time we sell securities pursuant to this prospectus, we will provide in a supplement to this prospectus the price and any other material terms of any such offering. Any prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, as well as the documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference into this prospectus, carefully before you invest in any securities. This prospectus may not be used to offer or sell securities unless accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

We may, from time to time, offer to sell the securities, through public or private transactions, directly or through underwriters, agents or dealers, on or off the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. If any underwriters, agents or dealers are involved in the sale of any of these securities, the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the names of the underwriter, agent or dealer, and any applicable fees, commissions or discounts.

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “LAES.” The last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on November 18, 2024 was $0.5080 per share.

On November 18, 2024, the aggregate market value worldwide of our outstanding common equity held by non-affiliates, our “public float,” was approximately $12.7 million, based on 25,077,150 Ordinary Shares outstanding held by non-affiliates and a per share price of $0.5080 based on the closing sale price of the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq on November 18, 2024. As of the date hereof, we have not sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3 during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on and includes the date hereof. After the date of this prospectus, we will not sell in primary offerings under General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3 securities having an aggregate market value, when added to the aggregate market value of securities sold by us in primary offerings under General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3 during the 12 calendar months immediately prior to and including the date of sale, of more than one-third of our public float.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Please carefully consider the risks discussed in this prospectus under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3 and the “Risk Factors” in “Item 3.D: Key Information—Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any applicable prospectus supplement for a discussion of the factors you should consider carefully before deciding to purchase these securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Prospectus dated November 27, 2024.

Under this shelf registration process, we may sell our securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $100,000,000. Furthermore, so long as the aggregate market value worldwide of our public float is less than $75 million, the aggregate market value of securities sold by us pursuant to this shelf registration statement during the period of 12 calendar months immediately prior to, and including, the sale, shall be no more than one- third of the public float.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves significant risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and under “Item 3.D: Key Information—Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, or any updates in our Reports on Form 6-K, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances.

The risks so described are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking statements; you should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed elsewhere in this prospectus.

Sales of our Ordinary Shares, or the perception of such sales, including by the investors in our recent convertible note and warrant financings pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed on April 15, 2024 (File No.: 333-278685) in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for our Ordinary Shares to decline.

The sale of our Ordinary Shares in the public market or otherwise could harm the prevailing market price of our Ordinary Shares. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate (which ability to sell equity securities is also subject to restrictions under the terms of the note and warrant financing agreements). Resales of our Ordinary Shares may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, regardless of the performance of our business.

Following the conversion of the notes and/or the exercise of the warrants issued in these financings, there are no limitations on the investors’ ability to sell the Ordinary Shares received by the investors. As such, sales of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares in the public market could occur at any time following such conversion or exercise. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

Given the substantial number of Ordinary Shares that were registered for potential resale by the investors pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed on April 15, 2024 (File No.: 333-278685), the sale of Ordinary Shares by the investors, or the perception in the market that the shareholders of a large number of Ordinary Shares intend to sell Ordinary Shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our Ordinary Shares or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Ordinary Shares.

Our failure to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in a delisting of our Ordinary Shares.

On August 1, 2024, we received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that because the closing bid price of our Ordinary Shares for 30 consecutive business days, from June 18, 2024 to July 31, 2024, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance is 180 days, or until January 28, 2025. If we fail to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, whether due to the minimum bid price deficiency or any other future deficiency, are delisted from Nasdaq and our Ordinary Shares are not subsequently listed on another national securities exchange, we will be unable to meet certain transaction requirements that would effectively prevent us from offering and selling additional Ordinary Shares under this registration statement, and could be in breach of covenants in various contracts.
