We provide information to you about this offering of ordinary shares in two separate documents that are bound together: (1) this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific details
regarding this offering; and (2) the accompanying prospectus, dated March 19, 2025, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this “prospectus,” we are referring to both documents
combined. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on this prospectus supplement. However, if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another
document having a later date‒for example, a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement‒the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement, as our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects may have changed since the earlier dates.
You should rely only on the information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus and in any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this
offering. We have not, and the placement agent has not, authorized any other person to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We are not, and the placement
agent is not, making an offer to sell or soliciting an offer to buy our securities in any jurisdiction where an offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making that offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to anyone to
whom it is unlawful to make an offer or solicitation. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and in any free writing
prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering, is accurate only as of the date of those respective documents. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. You
should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering, in their entirety
before making an investment decision. You should also read and consider the information in the documents to which we have referred you in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and in the sections of
the accompanying prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”
We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, ordinary shares only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The distribution of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying
prospectus and the offering of the ordinary shares in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus must inform themselves
about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the ordinary shares and the distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus outside the United States. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this prospectus by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make
such an offer or solicitation.
When we refer to “MediWound,” “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” in this prospectus, we mean MediWound Ltd., and our consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise specified.

data prepared by market research firms and other third parties, industry, medical and general publications, government data and similar sources. In some cases, we do not expressly refer to the sources from which this data is derived. In that regard,
when we refer to one or more sources of this type of data in any paragraph, you should assume that other data of this type appearing in the same paragraph is derived from the same sources, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise
requires. In addition, assumptions and estimates of our and our industry’s future performance are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. These and other factors could cause our future performance to
differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our ordinary shares. You should read this summary together with the more detailed
information appearing in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including under the section entitled “Risk Factors,” and in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Overview
We are a global leader in next-generation enzymatic therapeutics focused on non-surgical tissue repair. Our solutions selectively remove non-viable hazardous tissue while preserving healthy tissue,
offering a safer and more effective alternative to traditional methods. With robust in-house research, development, and manufacturing capabilities, the company produces and commercializes cutting-edge biologics for wound and burn care that exceed
existing standards of care, improve patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs by eliminating the need for surgical interventions.
Our flagship product, NexoBrid, is a topically administered biological orphan drug that enzymatically removes eschar while preserving viable tissue in patients with deep partial- and full-thickness
thermal burns. It is approved for use in more than 40 countries, including the United States, in the European Union, and Japan.
Building on our proprietary enzymatic technology, we are advancing EscharEx®, a Phase III pipeline drug for the treatment of chronic wounds. EscharEx is a bioactive, multimodal debridement therapy
for the treatment of chronic and other hard-to-heal wounds, currently in the advanced stages of clinical development. It is a concentrate of proteolytic enzymes, enriched with bromelain, designed for topical and easy-to-use daily applications. In
three Phase II clinical trials, EscharEx has demonstrated a strong safety profile and efficacy in debridement, granulation tissue promotion, and the reduction of bioburden and biofilm, effectively preparing wound beds for healing. In February
2025 we announced the initiation of VALUE, a global, pivotal Phase III trial evaluating EscharEx for the treatment of venous leg ulcers (VLUs). Enrollment in the global VALUE Phase III study for the treatment of venous leg ulcers (VLUs) is
ongoing. The trial aims to enroll 216 patients across 40 sites in the U.S. and Europe. Interim sample size assessment is planned for mid-2026, after 65% of patients complete treatment.
In addition to the VALUE study, we plan to initiate a randomized, head-to-head Phase II study, comparing EscharEx to collagenase in VLU patients. The clinical trial protocol for this study has been
submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study is expected to commence in the second half of 2025 and is designed to support a future Biologics License Application (BLA) and enhance the U.S. commercialization strategy.
Furthermore, we are advancing preparations for a clinical trial targeting diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which is expected to begin in 2026.
Our pipeline also includes MW005, a topical therapeutic for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma that has demonstrated positive results in a Phase I/II study.
We manufacture NexoBrid and our product candidates in our cGMP certified sterile manufacturing facility at our headquarters in Yavne, Israel.

S - 3
Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and discussed in our Annual Report on
Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement in its entirety, in addition to the other information set forth in this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus, or incorporated by reference herein and therein, including the consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, before purchasing our ordinary shares. If any
of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our ordinary shares would likely decline and you might lose
all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business
operations.
Risks Relating to This Offering
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from the sale of our products, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings and
license and development agreements. We do not currently have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the further sale of equity securities or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest
will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include
covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may be required to relinquish valuable rights to
our research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements with third parties when needed, we may be
required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate clinical development of our pipeline products or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to third parties to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and
market ourselves.
If you purchase our ordinary shares sold in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares.
The price per share of our ordinary shares being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding ordinary shares prior to this offering. The net tangible book
value of our outstanding ordinary shares as of June 30, 2025 was $1.84 per share. Assuming aggregate gross proceeds from this offering of approximately $30.0 million, those who purchase ordinary shares in this offering will incur immediate and
substantial dilution of approximately $13.54 per share, representing the difference between the offering price and our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025. The future exercise of outstanding warrants and options will result in
further dilution of your investment. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see the section entitled “Dilution” below.
We have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to support EscharEx’s pre-commercial activities, to enhance its large-scale manufacturing capabilities, and for general corporate purposes..
However, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to in-license, invest in or acquire businesses, technologies, products or assets that we believe are
complementary to our own, although we have no current plans, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions or in-licenses at this time. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate the net
proceeds from this offering. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from
this offering in a manner that does not produce income.
S - 4
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $27.4 million based on the offering price of $17.30 per ordinary share, after deducting placement agent fees and
estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering primarily to support EscharEx’s pre-commercial activities, to enhance its large-scale manufacturing capabilities, and for general
corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to in-license, invest in or acquire businesses, technologies, products or assets that we believe are complementary to our own, although we have no current plans, commitments or
agreements with respect to any acquisitions or in-licenses at this time.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the
net proceeds from this offering. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated and actual growth of our business.
Pending the use of proceeds described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in interest-bearing deposits.
S - 5
We have never declared or paid cash dividends to our shareholders and we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will
be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including future earnings, our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects, our strategic goals and
plans to expand our business, applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. The Companies Law, 5759-1999 imposes restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends. Payment of dividends may be subject to
Israeli withholding taxes.
See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to an Investment in Our Ordinary Shares—We have never paid cash dividends on our share capital, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus

If you invest in our ordinary shares in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share you will pay in this offering
and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our ordinary shares after this offering. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding.
As of June 30, 2025, our net tangible book value was $20.1 million, or $1.84 per share ordinary share. After giving effect to our issuance and sale of 1,734,105 ordinary shares in this offering, the
as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been $47.4 million, or $3.76 per share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value to existing shareholders of $1.92 per share and an immediate
dilution to those purchasing ordinary shares in this offering of $13.54 per share.
The following table illustrates this per share dilution to those purchasing ordinary shares in this offering:

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. and Israeli tax consequences concerning the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. It is not intended to constitute
a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. This discussion is included for general information purposes only, does not purport to be complete, and does not constitute and
is not a tax opinion or tax advice to any investor. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other
taxing jurisdiction.
Israeli Taxation
This section contains a general discussion of material Israeli tax consequences concerning the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our ordinary shares purchased by investors in this offering.
This summary does not discuss all the aspects of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal investment circumstances or to some types of investors subject to special treatment under Israeli law.
Examples of such investors include residents of Israel or traders in securities who are subject to special tax regimes not covered in this discussion. Because parts of this discussion are based on tax legislation that has not yet been subject to
judicial or administrative interpretation, we cannot assure you that the appropriate tax authorities or the courts will accept the views expressed in this discussion. The discussion below is subject to change, including due to amendments under
Israeli law or changes to the applicable judicial or administrative interpretations of Israeli law, which change could affect the accuracy of the tax consequences described below.
Taxation of Our Shareholders
Capital Gains Taxes Applicable to Non-Israeli Resident Shareholders. The Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 5721-1961 (the “Tax Ordinance”)
generally imposes a capital gains tax on the disposition of capital assets by non-Israeli tax residents if those assets (i) are located in Israel, (ii) are shares or a right to shares in an Israeli resident corporation, or (iii) represent, directly
or indirectly, rights to assets located in Israel, unless a specific exemption is available or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence provides otherwise. The Tax Ordinance distinguishes between real capital gain
and inflationary surplus. The inflationary surplus is a portion of the total capital gain equivalent to the increase of the relevant asset’s tax basis attributable to an increase in the Israeli consumer price index or, in certain circumstances, a
foreign currency exchange rate, between the date of purchase and the date of disposition. Inflationary surplus is not currently subject to tax in Israel. The real capital gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the inflationary surplus.
Generally, a non-Israeli resident (whether an individual or a corporation) who derives capital gains from the sale of shares in an Israeli resident company purchased upon or after the registration
of the shares on the TASE or on a regulated market outside of Israel (such as Nasdaq) should be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax unless, among others, (i) the capital gain derived from the sale of shares was attributed to a permanent
establishment that the non-Israeli resident shareholder maintains in Israel, or (ii) the Israeli resident company is classified as a real estate investment trust or ceased to be a real estate investment trust (as defined in the Tax Ordinance).
Non-Israeli “body of persons” (as defined under the Tax Ordinance, which includes corporate entities, partnerships and other entities) will not be entitled to the foregoing exemption if Israeli residents, whether directly or indirectly: (i) have a
controlling interest of more than 25% in such non-Israeli entity or (ii) are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli entity. In addition, such exemption is not applicable to a person whose
gains from selling or otherwise disposing of the shares are deemed to be business income.
S - 10
If not exempt, a non-Israeli resident shareholder would generally be subject to tax on capital gain at the ordinary corporate tax rate (23% in 2025), if generated by a company, or at the rate of
25%, if generated by an individual, or 30%, if generated by an individual who is a “substantial shareholder” (as defined under the Tax Ordinance), at the time of sale or at any time during the preceding 12-month period (or if the shareholder claims a
deduction for interest and linkage differences expenses in connection with the purchase and holding of such shares). A “substantial shareholder” is generally a person who alone or together with such person’s relative or another person who
collaborates with such person on a permanent basis, holds, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of any of the “means of control” of the corporation. “Means of control” generally include, among others, the right to vote, receive profits, nominate a
director or an executive officer, receive assets upon liquidation, or order someone who holds any of the aforesaid rights how to act, regardless of the source of such right. Individual and corporate shareholders dealing in securities in Israel are
taxed at the tax rates applicable to business income (a corporate tax rate for a corporation (23% in 2025) and a marginal tax rate of up to 47% for an individual in 2025 (excluding excess tax as discussed below)) unless contrary provisions in a
relevant tax treaty apply. If the individual claims a deduction of interest and linkage fluctuation expenses in connection with the purchase or holding of the shares, the gain will generally be taxed at a fixed rate of 30% until the promulgation of
regulations setting forth the rules and conditions for deduction of real interest and linkage differentials pursuant to section 101A(a)(9) and 101A(b) of the Tax Ordinance.
Additionally, a sale of shares by a non-Israeli resident may be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of
residence. For example, under the Convention Between the Government of the United States and the Government of the State of Israel with respect to Taxes of Income, as amended (the “the United States-Israel Tax Treaty”), the disposition of shares by a
shareholder who (i) is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the United States-Israel Tax Treaty), (ii) holds the shares as a capital asset, and (iii) is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such person by the United States-Israel Tax Treaty, is
generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax. Such exemption will not apply, inter alia, if (a) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to a permanent establishment that the shareholder maintains in Israel,
(b) the shareholder holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of the voting capital of the company at any time in the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to certain conditions, (c) such U.S.
resident is an individual and was present in Israel for a period or periods aggregating to 183 days or more during the relevant taxable year, (d) the capital gains arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to real estate located
in Israel, or (e) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to royalties. In each case, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however,
under the United States-Israel Tax Treaty, the taxpayer may be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations under U.S. law
applicable to foreign tax credits. The United States-Israel Tax Treaty does not provide such credit against any U.S. state or local taxes. Application for this exemption requires appropriate documentation presented to and specific instruction
received from the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”).
Regardless of whether non-Israeli shareholders may be liable for Israeli capital gains tax on the sale of our ordinary shares, the payment of the consideration may be subject to withholding of
Israeli tax at source. Shareholders may be required to demonstrate that they are exempt from tax on their capital gains in order to avoid withholding at source at the time of sale. Specifically, in transactions involving a sale of all of the shares
of an Israeli resident company, in the form of a merger or otherwise, the ITA may require from shareholders who are not liable for Israeli tax to sign declarations in forms specified by this authority or obtain a specific exemption from the ITA to
confirm their status as non-Israeli tax residents, and, in the absence of such declarations or exemptions, may require the purchaser of the shares to withhold Israeli taxes at source.
S - 11
In addition, with respect to mergers involving an exchange of shares, Israeli tax law allows for tax deferral in certain circumstances but makes the deferral contingent on the fulfillment of a
number of conditions, including, in some cases, a holding period of up to two years from the date of the transaction during which sales and dispositions of shares of the participating companies are subject to certain restrictions. Moreover, with
respect to certain share swap transactions in which the sellers receive shares in the acquiring entity that are publicly traded on a stock exchange, the tax deferral is limited in time, and when such time expires, the tax becomes payable even if no
disposition of such shares has occurred. In order to benefit from the tax deferral, a pre-ruling from the ITA might be required.
Taxation of Non-Israeli Resident Shareholders on Receipt of Dividends. Non-Israeli residents (whether individuals or corporations) are generally subject to
Israeli income tax on the receipt of dividends paid on our ordinary shares at the rate of 25%, unless relief is provided under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence (provided that a
certificate from the ITA allowing for a reduced withholding tax rate or a tax exemption is obtained in advance). With respect to a person who is a “substantial shareholder” (described above) at the time of receiving the dividend or on any time during
the preceding 12 months, the applicable tax rate is 30%. Dividends paid on publicly traded shares, like our ordinary shares, to non-Israeli residents, are generally subject to Israeli withholding tax at a rate of 25%, so long as the shares are
registered with a nominee company (whether or not the recipient is a substantial shareholder), unless a lower rate is provided under an applicable tax treaty (provided that a certificate from the ITA allowing for a reduced withholding tax rate is
obtained in advance). However, a distribution of dividends to non-Israeli residents is generally subject to withholding tax at source at a rate of 15% or 20% if the dividend is distributed from income attributed to a "Benefited Enterprise," as such
term is defined in the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 5719-1959.
For example, under the United States-Israel Tax Treaty and subject to the eligibility to the benefits under such treaty, the maximum rate of tax withheld at source in Israel on dividends paid to a
holder of our ordinary shares who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the United States-Israel Tax Treaty) is 25%. However, for dividends not generated by an Approved Enterprise, Benefited Enterprise or Preferred Enterprises and paid to a U.S.
corporation holding 10% or more of the outstanding voting capital throughout the tax year in which the dividend is distributed as well as during the previous tax year, the maximum rate of withholding tax is generally 12.5%, provided that not more
than 25% of the gross income of the Israeli resident paying corporation for such preceding year consists of certain types of dividends and interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends distributed from income attributed to a Benefited Enterprise
are subject to withholding tax at the rate of 15% for such U.S. corporate shareholder, provided that the conditions related to the holding of 10% of our voting capital and to our gross income for the previous year (as set forth in the previous
sentence) are met. The aforementioned rates under the United States-Israel Tax Treaty would not apply if the dividend income is derived through a permanent establishment of the U.S. resident in Israel.
If the dividend is attributable partly to income derived from a Benefited Enterprise and partly to other sources of income, the withholding rate will be a blended rate reflecting the relative
portions of the two types of income. U.S. residents (for purposes of the United States-Israel Tax Treaty) who are subject to Israeli withholding tax on a dividend may be entitled to a credit or deduction for United States federal income tax purposes
up to the amount of the taxes withheld, subject to detailed rules contained in U.S. tax law.
We cannot assure you that we will designate the profits that we may distribute in a way that will reduce shareholders’ tax liability.
A non-Israeli resident who receives dividends from which tax was withheld is generally exempt from the obligation to file tax returns in Israel in respect of such income, provided, inter alia, that
(i) such income was not derived from a business conducted in Israel by the taxpayer, (ii) the taxpayer has no other taxable sources of income in Israel with respect to which a tax return is required to be filed and (iii) the taxpayer is not obliged
to pay Excess Tax (as further explained below).
S - 12
Excess Tax
Individuals who are subject to tax in Israel (whether any such individual is an Israeli resident or non-Israeli resident) are also subject to an additional tax at a rate of 3% on annual income
exceeding NIS 721,560 for 2025,which amount is generally linked to the annual change in the Israeli consumer price index (with the exception that based on Israeli new legislation such amount, and certain other statutory amounts will not be linked to
the Israeli consumer price index for the years 2025-2027), including, but not limited to, dividends, interest and capital gain. According to new legislation, in effect as of January 1, 2025, an additional 2% excess tax is imposed on Capital-Sourced
Income (defined as income from any source other than employment income, business income or income from “personal effort”), to the extent that the Individual’s Capital Sourced Income exceeds the specified threshold of NIS 721,560 (and regardless of
the employment/business income amount of such individual). This new excess tax applies, among other things, to income from capital gains, dividends, interest, rental income, or the sale of real property.
Estate and Gift Tax
Israeli tax law presently does not impose estate or gift taxes.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares to a U.S. Holder (as defined below). This
description addresses only the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares held as capital assets. This description does not address tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that may be subject to
special tax rules, including, without limitation:
|
|
•
|
banks, financial institutions or insurance companies;
|
|
|
•
|
real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies or grantor trusts;
|
|

•
|
dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;
|
|
|
•
|
tax-exempt entities or organizations, including an “individual retirement account” or “Roth IRA” as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), respectively;
|
|
|
•
|
certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
|
|
|
•
|
persons that received our ordinary shares as compensation for the performance of services;
|
|
|
•
|
persons that will hold our ordinary shares as part of a “hedging,” “integrated” or “conversion” transaction or as a position in a “straddle” for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
|
|
|
•
|
persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the ordinary shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;
|
|
|
•

|
|
|
•
|
holders that acquire ordinary shares as a result of holding or owning our preferred shares;
|
|
|
•
|
U.S. Holders whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. Dollar;
|

|
•
|
persons that are residents or ordinarily resident in or have a permanent establishment in a jurisdiction outside the United States; and

S - 13
Moreover, this description does not address any U.S. federal tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences. It does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift or any alternative
minimum tax consequences, Medicare consequences, or any state, local or foreign tax consequences, of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.
This description is based on the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, in each case as in effect and available on the date hereof, each
of which is subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). Any such change could affect the tax consequences described below. There can be no assurances that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), will not take a different position
concerning the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares or that such a position would not be sustained. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax
consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares issued pursuant to this offering in their particular circumstances.
For purposes of this description, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:
|
|
•
|
an individual that is a citizen or resident of the United States;
|
|
|
•
|
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including the District of
Columbia;
|
|
|
•
|
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
|
|
|
•
|
a trust if such trust has validly elected to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its
administration and (2) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions.
|
If any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the
status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner or partnership should consult its tax advisor as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares issued
pursuant to this offering in its particular circumstance.
Unless otherwise indicated, this discussion assumes that the Company is not, and will not become, a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “-Passive
Foreign Investment Company Considerations” below.
You should consult your tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary
shares issued pursuant to this offering.
S - 14
Distributions on our Ordinary Shares
We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. However, if any distribution of property is made on our ordinary shares, then, subject to the discussion below under “-Passive
Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” the gross amount of any distribution made to you with respect to our ordinary shares (before reduction for any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom) will generally be includible in your income as dividend
income to the extent such distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent such distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of your adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares (but not below zero) and thereafter as either long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon
whether your holding period for our ordinary shares exceeds one year as of the time such distribution is received. However, we do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, if
you are a U.S. Holder, you should expect that the entire amount of any distribution generally will be taxable as dividend income to you. Non-corporate U.S. Holders may qualify for the lower rates of taxation with respect to dividends on ordinary
shares applicable to long-term capital gains (i.e., gains from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year) if certain conditions are met, including certain holding period requirements and the absence of certain risk reduction
transactions. Such lower rate of taxation shall not apply if the Company is a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder for the taxable year in which it pays a dividend, or was a PFIC for the preceding taxable year. Finally, the dividends will not be
eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporate U.S. Holders.
Dividends paid to you with respect to our ordinary shares will generally be treated as foreign source income, which may be relevant in calculating your foreign tax credit limitation. Subject to
certain conditions and limitations, Israeli tax withheld on dividends may be deducted from your taxable income or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately
with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends generally should constitute “passive category income.” A foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on distributions may be denied if you do not satisfy certain minimum holding
period requirements. The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and U.S. Treasury regulations (“Foreign Tax Credit Regulations”) that apply to foreign income taxes paid or accrued in taxable years beginning on or
after December 28, 2021 further restrict the availability of any such credit based on the nature of the tax imposed by the non-U.S. jurisdiction, although the IRS has provided temporary relief from the application of certain aspects of these
regulations until new guidance or regulations are issued. You should consult your tax advisor to determine whether and to what extent you will be entitled to this credit.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares
Subject to the discussion below under “-Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” you generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our
ordinary shares equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and your adjusted tax basis in such ordinary shares, and such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss. If any Israeli
tax is imposed on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder’s amount realized will include the gross amount of the proceeds of such disposition before deduction of the Israeli tax. The adjusted tax basis in
an ordinary share generally will be equal to the cost of such ordinary share. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, capital gain from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares will generally be eligible for a
preferential rate of taxation applicable to capital gains if your holding period for such ordinary shares exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes is subject to limitations under the Code.
Any gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax
credit limitation purposes. Because you may use foreign tax credits to offset only the portion of U.S. federal income tax liability that is attributed to foreign source income in the same category, you may be unable to claim a foreign tax credit with
respect to Israeli tax, if any, imposed on any such U.S.-source gain. Additionally, as discussed above, the Foreign Tax Credit Regulations may further limit your ability to claim such a foreign tax credit, depending on the nature of such Israeli tax,
although the IRS has provided temporary relief from the application of certain aspects of these regulations until new guidance or regulations are issued. In addition, if you are eligible for the benefit of the income tax convention between the United
States and the State of Israel and pay Israeli tax in excess of the amount applicable to you under such convention or if the Israeli tax paid is refundable, you will not be able to claim any foreign tax credit with respect to such Israeli tax. You
should consult your tax advisor as to whether the Israeli tax on gains may be creditable against your U.S. federal income tax on foreign-source income from other sources.
S - 15
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
If we were to be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares would be subject to special rules generally intended to reduce or eliminate any benefits from the
deferral of U.S. federal income tax that a U.S. Holder could derive from investing in a non-U.S. company that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis.
A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of
subsidiaries, either:
|
•
|
at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income”; or
|
|
|
•
|
at least 50% of the average quarterly value of its total gross assets (which may be determined in part by the market value of our ordinary shares, which is subject to change) is attributable to assets that
produce “passive income” or are held for the production of passive income.
|
Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, gains from commodities and securities transactions, the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of
assets which produce passive income, and includes amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment of funds raised in offerings of our ordinary shares. If a non-U.S. corporation owns at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, the
non-U.S. corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income. If we are classified as a
PFIC in any year with respect to which a U.S. Holder owns our ordinary shares, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder in all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder owns our ordinary shares unless we cease to
be a PFIC and the U.S. Holder has made a “deemed sale election” under the PFIC rules.
Based on our current estimates of our gross income and the estimated fair market value of our gross assets, our intended use of the proceeds of this offering and the nature of our business, we do
not believe we were classified as a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2024. However, we must determine our PFIC status annually based on tests which are factual in nature, and our status in future years will depend on our income, assets
and activities in those years. Further, because the value of our gross assets is likely to be determined in large part by reference to our market capitalization, a decline in the value of our ordinary shares or an increase in the value of our passive
assets (including cash and short term investments) may result in our becoming a PFIC. In addition, our status as a PFIC may depend on how quickly we utilize the cash proceeds from this offering (and any future offerings) in our business. There can be
no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current or any future taxable year.
If we were a PFIC, and you are a U.S. Holder, then unless you make one of the elections described below, a special tax regime will apply to both (a) any “excess distribution” by us to you
(generally, your ratable portion of distributions in any year which are greater than 125% of the average annual distribution received by you in the shorter of the three preceding years or your holding period for our ordinary shares) and (b) any gain
realized on the sale or other disposition of the ordinary shares. Under this regime, any excess distribution and realized gain will be treated as ordinary income and will be subject to tax as if (i) the excess distribution or gain had been realized
ratably over your holding period, (ii) the amount deemed realized in each year had been subject to tax in each year of that holding period at the highest marginal rate for such year (other than income allocated to the current period or any taxable
period before we became a PFIC, which would be subject to tax, at the U.S. Holder’s regular ordinary income rate for the current year and would not be subject to the interest charge discussed below), and (iii) the interest charge generally applicable
to underpayments of tax had been imposed on the taxes deemed to have been payable in those years. In addition, dividend distributions made to you will not qualify for the lower rates of taxation applicable to long-term capital gains discussed above
under “Distributions.” Certain elections may be available that would result in an alternative treatment (such as mark-to-market treatment) of our ordinary shares.
S - 16
If a U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election, for the first tax year in which such U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) ordinary shares in a corporation and for which such corporation
is determined to be a PFIC, the U.S. Holder generally will recognize as ordinary income any excess of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at the end of each taxable year over their adjusted tax basis, and will recognize an ordinary loss in
respect of any excess of the adjusted tax basis of the ordinary shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark- to-market election).
If a U.S. Holder makes the election, the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect these income or loss amounts. Any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares in a year when we are a PFIC
will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as an ordinary loss (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election).
The mark-to-market election is available only if we are a PFIC and our ordinary shares are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange.” Our ordinary shares will be treated as “regularly traded” in
any calendar year in which more than a de minimis quantity of the ordinary shares, are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. Nasdaq is a qualified exchange for this purpose. If we are a PFIC, the general tax
treatment for U.S. Holders described in this section would apply to indirect distributions and gains deemed to be realized by U.S. Holders in respect of any entity in which we hold equity that is also a PFIC (a “lower tier PFIC”). Because a
mark-to-market election generally would not be available with respect to any lower-tier PFICs, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated
as an equity interest in such lower tier PFICs.
We do not intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections if we are classified as a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors to
determine whether any of these elections would be available and if so, what the consequences of the alternative treatments would be in their particular circumstances.
If a U.S. Holder owns ordinary shares during any year in which we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder generally will be required to file an IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive
Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund) or successor form with respect to the company, generally with the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax return for that year.
U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding whether we are a PFIC and the potential application of the PFIC rules.
Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements
United States backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements may apply to certain payments to certain holders of stock. Information reporting generally will apply to distributions
(including constructive distributions) on, and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of, our ordinary shares made within the United States or by a United States payor or United States middleman, to a holder of our ordinary shares, other than
an exempt recipient (including a payee that is not a United States person that provides an appropriate certification and certain other persons). Payments made (and sales or other dispositions effected at an office) outside the U.S. will be subject to
information reporting in limited circumstances. A payor will be required to withhold backup withholding tax from any payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on, or the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, ordinary shares within
the United States, or by a United States payor or United States middleman, to a holder, other than an exempt recipient, if such holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number and a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or otherwise fails to
comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup withholding tax requirements or to report dividends required to be shown on the holder’s U.S. federal income tax returns. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under
the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the beneficial owner’s United States federal income tax liability, if any, and any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded, provided that the required
information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Foreign Financial Asset Reporting
Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and certain entities) are required to report information relating to an interest in our ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an
exception for ordinary shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions) by filing IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their federal income tax return. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax
advisors regarding their information reporting obligations, if any, with respect to their ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.
The above description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our ordinary
shares issued pursuant to this offering. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares in your particular situation.

Company Overview
We are a global leader in next-generation enzymatic therapeutics focused on non-surgical tissue repair.
Our solutions selectively remove non-viable hazardous tissue while preserving healthy tissue, offering a safer and more effective alternative to traditional methods. With robust in-house research, development, and manufacturing
capabilities, the company produces and commercializes cutting-edge biologics for wound and burn care that exceed existing standards of care, improve patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs by eliminating the need for surgical
interventions.
Our flagship product, NexoBrid, is a topically administered biological orphan drug that enzymatically
removes eschar while preserving viable tissue in patients with deep partial- and full-thickness thermal burns. It is approved for use in more than 40 countries, including the United States, in the European Union, and Japan.
Building on our proprietary enzymatic technology, we are advancing EscharEx®, a Phase III pipeline drug for the treatment of chronic wounds. EscharEx is a bioactive, multimodal debridement therapy for the treatment of chronic and other hard-to-heal wounds,
currently in the advanced stages of clinical development. It is a concentrate of proteolytic enzymes, enriched with bromelain, designed for topical and easy-to-use daily applications. In three Phase II clinical trials, EscharEx has
demonstrated a strong safety profile and efficacy in debridement, granulation tissue promotion, and the reduction of bioburden and biofilm, effectively preparing wound beds for healing. In February 2025 we announced the initiation of
VALUE, a global, pivotal Phase III trial evaluating EscharEx for the treatment of venous leg ulcers (VLUs). In addition to the VALUE study, we plan to initiate a randomized, head-to-head Phase II study in 2025, comparing EscharEx to
collagenase in VLU patients. Furthermore, we are advancing preparations for an adaptive design Phase II/III clinical trial targeting diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which is expected to begin in 2026.
Our pipeline also includes MW005, a topical therapeutic for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma that
has demonstrated positive results in a Phase I/II study.
We manufacture NexoBrid and our product candidates in our cGMP certified sterile manufacturing facility
at our headquarters in Yavne, Israel.

“Beneficial ownership” is a term broadly defined by the SEC in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act and includes more than the typical form of share ownership, that is, shares held in the
person’s name. The term also includes what is referred to as “indirect ownership,” meaning ownership of shares as to which a person has or shares investment power. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by the selling
shareholder and the percentage ownership of the selling shareholder, we have included shares (if any) that the selling shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this prospectus, including through the exercise of
any option, warrant or other right or the conversion of any other security.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates
that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable
prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.
The following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this
prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of
the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and we will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report
that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.
If we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following, as applicable:
|
|
•
|
the title of the series of units;
|
|
|

We and/or the selling shareholder may sell the securities included in this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including without limitation:
|
|
•
|
through agents;
|
|
|
•
|
to or through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or agency basis;
|
|
|
•
|
through put or call option transactions relating to the securities;
|
|
|
•
|
through broker-dealers (acting as agent or principal);
|
|
|
•
|
directly to purchasers, through a specific bidding or auction process, on a negotiated basis or otherwise;
|
|
|
•
|
through any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law; or
|
|
|
•
|
through a combination of any such methods of sale.
|
At any time a particular offer of the securities covered by this prospectus is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the
aggregate amount of securities covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents, any discounts, commissions, concessions and other items
constituting compensation from us and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers. Such prospectus supplement, and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part, will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus. In order to comply with the securities laws of certain
jurisdictions, if applicable, the securities sold under this prospectus may only be sold through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified
for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
The distribution of securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including block transactions and transactions on Nasdaq or any other organized market where the
securities may be traded. The securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The
consideration may be cash or another form negotiated by the parties. Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for offering and selling the securities. That compensation may be in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions to be received from us or from the purchasers of the securities. Any dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the
securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If any such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
Agents may from time to time solicit offers to purchase the securities. If required, we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of the
securities and set forth any compensation payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. Any agent selling the securities
covered by this prospectus may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities.
12
If underwriters are used in a sale, securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments. Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting
syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If an underwriter or underwriters are used in the sale of securities, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the
underwriter or underwriters, as well as any other underwriter or underwriters, with respect to a particular underwritten offering of securities, and will set forth the terms of the transactions, including compensation of the underwriters and
dealers and the public offering price, if applicable. The prospectus and prospectus supplement will be used by the underwriters to resell the securities.
If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities, we, the selling shareholder or an underwriter will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities
to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transactions.
We and/or the selling shareholder may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities and may make sales of securities directly to institutional investors or others. These persons may be
deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. To the extent required, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any such sales, including the terms of any bidding or
auction process, if used.
Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with us and/or the selling shareholder to indemnification by us against specified liabilities,
including liabilities incurred under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us and/or the selling shareholder to payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. If required, the prospectus supplement will describe the
terms and conditions of the indemnification or contribution. Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers, or their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our subsidiaries.
Any person participating in the distribution of securities registered under the registration statement that includes this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange
Act, and the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our securities by that person. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any
person engaged in the distribution of our securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to our securities. These restrictions may affect the marketability of our securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in
market-making activities with respect to our securities.
Certain persons participating in an offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect
the price of the offered securities. These activities may maintain the price of the offered securities at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market, including by entering stabilizing bids, effecting syndicate covering
transactions or imposing penalty bids, each of which is described below.
|
|
•
|
A stabilizing bid means the placing of any bid, or the effecting of any purchase, for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of a security.
|
|
|
•
|
A syndicate covering transaction means the placing of any bid on behalf of the underwriting syndicate or the effecting of any purchase to reduce a short position created in connection with the offering.
|
|
|
•
|
A penalty bid means an arrangement that permits the managing underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member in connection with the offering when offered securities originally sold by
the syndicate member are purchased in syndicate covering transactions.
|
These transactions may be effected on an exchange, if the securities are listed on that exchange, or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
In the event that any underwriter or agent acts as principal, or broker-dealer acts as underwriter, it may engage in certain transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price
of our securities. We will describe any such activities in the prospectus supplement relating to the transaction.
13
If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase offered securities
from us at the public offering price set forth in such prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject only to those conditions
set forth in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.
In addition, ordinary shares may be issued upon conversion of or in exchange for debt securities or other securities.
Any underwriters to whom offered securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such offered securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may
discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The offered securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. No assurance can be given that there will be a market for the offered securities.
Any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 or Regulation S rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To the extent that we and/or the selling shareholder make sales to or through one or more underwriters or agents in at-the-market offerings, we and/or the selling shareholder will do so
pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement between us and/or the selling shareholder and the underwriters or agents. If we engage in at-the-market sales pursuant to a distribution agreement, we or the selling shareholder will sell our
ordinary shares to or through one or more underwriters or agents, which may act on an agency basis or on a principal basis. During the term of any such agreement, we and/or the selling shareholder may sell ordinary shares on a daily basis in
exchange transactions or otherwise as we agree with the underwriters or agents. The distribution agreement will provide that any ordinary shares sold will be sold at prices related to the then prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares.
Therefore, exact figures regarding proceeds that will be raised or commissions to be paid cannot be determined at this time and will be described in a prospectus supplement. Pursuant to the terms of the distribution agreement, we and/or the
selling shareholder also may agree to sell, and the relevant underwriters or agents may agree to solicit offers to purchase, blocks of our ordinary shares or warrants. The terms of each such distribution agreement will be set forth in more
detail in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus.
Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of the securities may be made, by us and/or the selling shareholder directly to institutional investors
or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any re-sales of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the
offer
In connection with offerings made through underwriters or agents, we and/or the selling shareholder may enter into agreements with such underwriters or agents pursuant to which we receive our
outstanding securities in consideration for the securities being offered to the public for cash. In connection with these arrangements, the underwriters or agents may also sell securities covered by this prospectus to hedge their positions in
these outstanding securities, including in short sale transactions. If so, the underwriters or agents may use the securities received from us and/or the selling shareholder under these arrangements to close out any related open borrowings of
securities.
We and/or the selling shareholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated
transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, such third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus
supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, such third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) may use securities pledged by us and/or the selling shareholder or borrowed from us, the selling shareholder or others to settle
those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of shares, and may use securities received from us and/or the selling shareholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of shares. The third parties
(or affiliates of such third parties) in such sale transactions will be underwriters and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).
We and/or the selling shareholder may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus. Such financial
institution or third party may transfer its short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a simultaneous offering of other securities offered by this prospectus or in connection with a simultaneous offering of other
securities offered by this prospectus.

The consolidated financial statements of MediWound Ltd. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, have been incorporated by

We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-3 under the Securities Act, with respect to the securities offered by this prospectus. This prospectus and any accompanying
prospectus supplement do not contain all the information contained in the registration statement, including its exhibits and schedules. You should refer to the registration statement, including its exhibits and schedules, for further
information about us and the securities we may offer. Statements we make in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement about certain contracts or other documents are not necessarily complete. When we make such statements, we
refer you to the copies of the contracts or documents that are filed as exhibits to the registration statement, because those statements are qualified in all respects by reference to those exhibits. The registration statement, including
exhibits and schedules, is on file at the office of the SEC and may be inspected without charge.
We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Under the Exchange Act, we are required to file annual and special reports and other information with the SEC. As a
foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the filing and content of proxy statements and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit
recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose
securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements
audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, and we submit to the SEC, on Form 6-K, unaudited quarterly financial information and proxy statements for our general meetings of shareholders.
We file or furnish reports, proxy statements and other information with or to the SEC. The SEC maintains a web site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information
about issuers, such as us, who file electronically with the SEC. The address of that website is http://www.sec.gov.
We maintain a corporate website at www.MediWound.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part
of this prospectus. We have included our website address in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.
17
The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” into this prospectus the information in documents we file with it. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you
to another document filed by us with the SEC. Each document incorporated by reference is current only as of the date of such document, and the incorporation by reference of such documents shall not create any implication that there has been no
change in our affairs since the date thereof or that the information contained therein is current as of any time subsequent to its date. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of this prospectus and should be read
with the same care. When we update the information contained in documents that have been incorporated by reference by making future filings with the SEC, the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus is considered to be
automatically updated and superseded. In other words, in the case of a conflict or inconsistency between information contained in this prospectus and information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, you should rely on the information
contained in the document that was filed later.
We incorporate by reference into this prospectus documents listed below and any future filings made with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and, to the extent
specifically designated therein, reports of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K we furnish to the SEC on or after the date on which this registration statement is first filed with the SEC and until the termination or completion of that offering

such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors, officers and any Israeli experts named in this registration statement,
substantially all of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside of
the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.
We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Meitar | Law Offices, that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli
courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may
determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of
procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
We have irrevocably appointed Puglisi & Associates as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any United States federal or state court arising out of the
offerings under this prospectus or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with any such offering(s). Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a United States judgment in a civil matter
which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided
that, among other things:
|
|
•
|
the judgment is obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law prevailing
in Israel;
|
|
|
•
|
the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment is rendered allows for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;
|
|
|
•
|
adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence;
|
|
|
•
|
the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Israel, and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment is not likely to impair the security or sovereignty of Israel;
|
|
|
•
|
the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;
|
|
|
•
|
an action between the same parties in the same matter was not pending in any Israeli court at the time at which the lawsuit was instituted in the foreign court; and
|
|
|
•
|
the judgment is enforceable according to the laws of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted.
|
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The
usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the
judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at
the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.
