ABOUT
THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
General
This
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement that we filed on Form F-3 (File No. 333-271226)
with the SEC utilizing a “shelf” registration process (the “Registration Statement”).
Each
time we conduct an offering to sell securities under the accompanying prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain
specific information about the terms of that offering, including the price, the number of securities being offered, and the plan of distribution
or underwriting details, as applicable. The Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2023, and was declared effective
by the SEC on April 21, 2023. The Registration Statement is effective as of the date of this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement
describes the specific details regarding this offering and may add, update, or change information contained in the accompanying prospectus.
The accompanying prospectus provides general information about us and our securities, some of which, such as portions of the section
entitled “Plan of Distribution,” may not apply to this offering.
We
have not and the underwriters have not authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than
those included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any relevant free writing
prospectus. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby, but only
under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. We are not making offers to sell or solicitations to buy our securities
in Canada or to any resident of Canada or any jurisdiction in which 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. This
document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering of securities
and adds to, and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. The
second part, the accompanying prospectus, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring
to both parts of this document combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement
and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein filed prior to the date
of this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement; provided that 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 the accompanying prospectus-the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.
If
information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus or the information incorporated by reference
with an earlier date, you should rely on this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement, together with the accompanying prospectus,
the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus
we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, include all material information relating to this offering. We have not,
and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information and you must not rely on any
unauthorized information or representations.
You
should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus we have authorized for use in
connection with this offering is accurate only as of the respective dates of those documents. Our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. You should carefully read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying
prospectus and the information and documents incorporated herein by reference herein and therein, as well as any free writing prospectus
we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, before making an investment decision. See “Incorporation of Information
by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying
prospectus.
This
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described
herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety
by the full text of the actual documents, some of which have been filed or will be filed and incorporated by reference herein. See “Where
You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus supplement. We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants
made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement
or the accompanying prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose
of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you.
Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations,
warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.
This
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain and incorporate by reference certain market data and industry statistics
and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe these
sources are reliable, estimates as they relate to projections involve numerous assumptions, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and
are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus and under similar headings in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein.
Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information.
Interpretation
Unless
the context otherwise indicates, the terms “us,” “we,” “our,” “A2Z” and the “Company”
refer to A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (formerly A2Z Smart Technologies Corp.) and our subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or as the
context otherwise requires, all references to dollar amounts in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are references
to United States dollars. References to “$”, “US$” or “USD” are to United States dollars and references
to “CAD$” are to Canadian dollars.
Presentation
of Financial Information
Our
financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which we refer
to as IFRS. Certain calculations included in tables and other figures in this prospectus supplement have been rounded for clarity of
presentation.
The
financial statements incorporated by reference were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have incurred
recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, such that as of September 30, 2024, we had accumulated
losses of $89 million and a net loss in the amount of $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of the date of the
issuance of this prospectus supplement, we have not yet commenced generating sufficient revenues to fund our operations, and therefore
depend on fundraising from new and existing investors to finance our activities.
Considering
the above, our dependency on external funding for its operations raises a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. The condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some
of the statements in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus constitute “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (“Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (“Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events concerning our business and
to our potential revenues, operating results, and financial condition. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “expect”,
“plan”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “believe”, “estimate”, “forecast”,
“predict”, “propose”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other
comparable terminology.
Any
forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus are only estimates or predictions of
future events based on information currently available to our management and management’s current beliefs about the potential outcome
of future events. Whether these future events will occur as management anticipates, whether we will achieve our business objectives,
and whether our potential revenues, operating results, or financial condition will improve in future periods are subject to numerous
risks. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these
forward-looking statements. These important factors include those that we discuss under the heading “Risk Factors” and in
other sections of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as well as in our other reports filed from
time to time with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. You should read these factors and the other
cautionary statements made in this prospectus supplement and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement
as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus supplement or the documents we
incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement. Our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly
update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Company
Overview
We
are an innovative technology company operating the following four complementary business lines through our subsidiaries: (i) development
and commercialization of retail “smart cart” solutions designed primarily for use in large grocery stores and supermarkets
(“Cust2Mate Carts” or “Cust2Mate Products”); (ii) manufacture of precision metal parts; (iii) provision of maintenance
services in Israel (“Maintenance Services”); and (iv) development of our Fuel Tank Inertia Capsule System (“FTICS”)
technology and a vehicle device cover for the military and civilian automotive industry (collectively, “Automotive Products”).
In
2020, we began to rapidly develop smart carts for the retail industry, with the aim of becoming the leading mobile checkout system in
the international market by providing the optimal solution for shoppers and supermarket retailers. We have since focused the majority
of our strategic planning, investment, research, development and marketing efforts on our Cust2Mate Products, as management currently
believes our operational capabilities are most effectively leveraged by growing market share in the smart cart industry.
During
the first quarter of 2022, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Isramat, a privately held Israeli company. This acquisition
vertically integrates certain manufacturing capabilities for the production of the Cust2Mate Products, such as precision metal fabrication
of parts, while complementing existing contract manufacturing partnerships to support our growth.
The
raw materials required by our subsidiaries are readily available from multiple suppliers worldwide and their purchase costs do not fluctuate
more than standard raw materials.
Smart
Cart Products and Services
Cust2Mate
is a mobile self-checkout shopping cart solution that streamlines the retail shopping experience. With a user-friendly smart algorithm,
touch screen and computer vision technology, our Cust2Mate smart cart scans, recognizes and adds to a displayed shopping list, each item
placed in the cart, providing the shopper with real-time information regarding items in the cart and tabulating the total cost of purchase.
Our in-cart solution also enables shoppers to use the cart as the point of sale by use of mobile payment applications, e-wallets and
other financial services. Cust2Mate’s point of sale feature effectively increases overall efficiency of the shopping experience,
by expanding payment options for shoppers and retailers alike, reducing the need for cashiers, and reducing checkout wait times, which
ultimately leads to improved customer engagement and satisfaction.
We
combine scanning, computer vision, security scales and other anti-fraud/theft technologies, with a large screen tablet capable of relaying
real-time shopping information and value-added digital services. Our solution is stackable and lightweight, with a robust recognition
platform that provides a higher level of accuracy in product identification, leveraging in-store Wi-Fi and cutting-edge software.
For
retailers, Cust2Mate enables improved inventory management, increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, increased anti-fraud protection,
reduced theft and real-time data analytics and insights regarding consumer behavior. Our solutions are designed to easily integrate with
existing store systems.
The
Cust2Mate touch screen allows for the display of advertisements, promotions and other digital services which can bring added value to
shoppers and additional revenue sources to retailers.
We
have launched a modular version of the Cust2Mate smart cart, allowing local set-up with modular parts, making mass production and deployment
of our smart carts faster and more efficient. With a detachable control unit, our new generation cart will employ the same technologies
as our previous offerings, presently deployed in the Yochananof retail chain in Israel and in pilot programs throughout the world.
Our
largest smart carts are available in 212 liter and 275 liter sizes, as customized at the discretion of retailers.
We
also offer smaller, lighter smart carts, available in 180 liter and 75 liter sizes, with the same touch screen, detachable control panel
and security features of our larger carts. Our smaller carts are ideal for urban groceries and supermarkets, drugstores and duty-free
shops, where aisles space tends to be limited.
We
leverage third-party partners for the manufacture of our Cust2Mate Products in the locations we serve.
Our
Customers
M.
Yochananof and Sons (1988) Ltd. (“Yochananof”), a large Israeli retailer, has been our largest Cust2Mate customer to date. Yochananof
placed an initial order for an aggregate of 1,300 Cust2Mate smart carts which we are in the process of fulfilling. As of September 30,
2023, we have delivered all the smart carts in connection with Yochananof’s initial purchase order. On April 27, 2023, Yochananof
delivered a non-binding letter of intent to purchase up to an additional 1,700 smart carts on terms and conditions to be agreed by definitive
agreement. In addition, we have entered into a maintenance and support agreement with Yochananof. Our Maintenance Services division handles
the maintenance and support services required for Cust2Mate Products deployed in Israel.
HaStok
Concept Ltd., one of Israel’s leading home design and household essentials retail chain with approximately 40 stores across Israel,
delivered a purchase order on April 20, 2023. The agreement marked a significant expansion for our smart cart solution into a new vertical
outside of grocery retail. The Hastok purchase order was for up to 1,000 smart carts and is comprised of an upfront payment, a guaranteed
monthly payment, and a revenue share agreement on added value solutions, such as advertising. On October 31, 2023, Hastok increased its
order by an additional 1,000 smart carts, to a total of 2,000 smart carts.
On
May 29, 2023, we signed an agreement with Morton Williams Supermarkets, a U.S. supermarket with locations throughout the New York City
metropolitan area, for the order for up to 100 Cust2Mate smart carts. The Morton Williams order follows our successful pilot of Cust2Mate
smart carts at the grocer’s West End Avenue store in Manhattan. The first batch of the smart carts were deployed in in the fourth
quarter of 2024.
On
June 13, 2023, we entered into a significant partnership with IR2S, which is intended to deploy 30,000 smart carts between 2023 and 2025
across renowned retail chains in France. With IR2S providing integration and other services, including Monoprix and the Casino Group
(who operate over 700 and over 10,500 stores respectively), the logistics and service support for the smart carts will be efficiently
carried out. IR2S, a leading integrator of advanced retail technologies (including integration and other services) to many prestigious
clients in France, will play a pivotal role in managing the installation, support, and maintenance of the smart carts. IR2S is well-positioned
to manage and integrate Cust2Mate’s smart cart solution, providing local hardware and software support to ensure a seamless customer
experience. The definitive agreement with IR2S was signed in September 2023. The first purchase order to deliver 250 smart carts to Monoprix
stores was received in October 2023, with anticipation for deployment at 20 select Monoprix locations. The first batch of smart carts
was delivered to the Monoprix Monop Malakoff store near the Champs Elysées, Paris in August 2024. In addition, on August 6, 2024,
and as part of the IR2S agreement, we started deploying our smart carts at a Paris (17th quarter) Franprix store, allowing customers
to shop and pay using the smart carts. On September 27, 2024, we announced that we had received a follow-on order from Franprix franchise
stores for its Cust2Mate Smart Carts at 10 additional Franprix stores, which smart carts are expected to be deployed by the end
of the first quarter of 2025.
On
September 14, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement with HEX 1011, a leading integrator of technological solutions for retail
chains, intending to deploy 20,000 smart carts across Asia Pacific (APAC) from 2023 through 2025. HEX 1011 will ensure the efficient
rollout and maintenance of the carts for elite retail chains in Thailand and Malaysia.
On
September 19, 2024, we announced that we had entered into a framework agreement with Level 10, LLC, a leading retail IT service provider,
for in-field installation, deployment, in-store and laboratory support, maintenance, help desk services and warranty fulfillment related
to the company’s Cust2Mate smart cart solutions to be rolled out in the United States.
On
September 10, 2024, we announced our strategic partnership with Nayax Ltd., a global commerce enablement payments and loyalty platform
designed to help merchants scale their business, to pair Nayax’s convenient automated self-service retail mobile payment system
with our innovative smart cart platform for smart retail stores. The smart carts with Nayax’s payment solution will initially be
deployed in France. Further, on September 25, 2024, we announced that we had entered into a framework agreement with Nayax Capital, whereby
Nayax Capital will enable financing for the sale or lease of Cust2Mate smart carts enabled with Nayax’s complete solution.
On
September 27, 2024, we announced that we had received a follow-on order from the Franprix franchise stores in France for our Cust2mate
Smart Carts at ten additional Franprix stores, to be deployed by end of the first quarter of 2025.
On
October 10, 2024, we announced that we signed a framework agreement with Trixo (“Trixo”), a leading retail technology integrator
providing technology and IT and other services in Mexico and Central America, for in-field installation, deployment, in-store and laboratory
support, maintenance, help desk services and warranty fulfillment related to our Cust2Mate smart cart solutions to be rolled out in Mexico
and Central America.
Our
objective is to generate orders of several thousand Cust2Mate smart carts in 2025.
Our
Markets
We
aspire to be the global leading provider of smart carts and associated technology solutions, providing a superior customer experience
and cutting-edge platform for digital value-added services, easing the pain points for all stakeholders in the retail industry.
The
market for smart carts is large and diverse, and includes grocery stores, hardware stores, household essentials, “do it yourself
(DIY)” retailers, discount stores, warehouse stores, convenience stores, drug stores, duty free shops and similar outlets.
We
have designed the range of our Cust2Mate smart carts to accommodate the needs of a varied customer base: large carts for hypermarkets
or large stores, medium carts for supermarkets or medium sized stores, and small carts for city stores, drug stores, duty free shops,
etc. We are also able to customize our carts with a “look and feel” unique to each retailer as requested.
Business
Model
We
envision deriving several distinct revenue stream opportunities from big data, retail media, and third party applications:
| ● | Outright
Purchase Model. The outright purchase of the smart carts by customers and payment
of a monthly maintenance fee has been the business model to date. For example, the first
1,300 carts ordered by Yochananof were sold to it outright with revenue recognized upon delivery.
We intend to move away from this model; however, it will remain available as some retailers
prefer this option. |
| ● | Subscription
Based Model. We intend to retain title to our smart carts and make them available
to customers on a multiyear subscription basis, against payment of a one-time up-front payment
and monthly fees to cover hardware and software maintenance, service and version updates.
The length of the subscription period depends on many variables unique to each customer,
including the design and customization required by the customer, and the size of the up-front
payment. We intend to fund the manufacture of our smart carts at scale, against orders, through
loans against receivables from such orders, whilst looking to lower per unit manufacturing
costs and increase margin as unit sales increase. The subscription model would also enable
us to charge additional fees for add-on features such as store navigation maps, shopping
lists, etc. The subscription model should also facilitate the provision of the smart carts
to customers and, as revenue would be recognized monthly, would allow for a sustained increase
of revenue in conjunction with the increase in the installed base of the smart carts. |
| ● | Digital
Services. As our smart carts are fully integrated into the retailers’ systems,
we envision them serving as a de-facto marketplace, which we refer to as a Smart Cart Marketplace,
for all retail directed apps and digital services. Our Cust2Mate smart carts incorporate
a large touch screen, and can present to the shopper additional information at the discretion
of the retailer, such as details of the shopper’s purchases, ingredients of goods purchased,
allergy information, shopping lists, in-store navigation for goods, and many more applications,
while simultaneously facilitating the provision of real-time personalized and directed promotions,
advertisements, e-coupons and other digital services by all stakeholders in the retail industry
(such as the retailer, consumer product and other manufacturers and advertisers and any third
party service provider that joins the Smart Cart Marketplace). As these promotions, advertisements,
coupons, etc., are displayed to the shopper when the shopper is deciding what to buy (and
not, for example, when the shopper is paying for products already purchased), we believe
that digital services will be of considerable value to shoppers, retailers, manufacturers
and other third parties. We intend to enter into revenue sharing agreements with stakeholders,
allowing us, our customers and relevant third parties to all enjoy increased revenue streams,
whilst simultaneously providing shoppers with significant added value. We believe that digital
revenues from the Smart Cart Marketplace can become considerable. As the revenue to retailers
from digital services increases, the net cost of our smart carts to retailers is expected
to decrease. |
| ● | AI
Empowered
Big Data Analytics. At present, in many instances the retailer has limited information
regarding the actions and decisions of the shopper until the actual time of payment. The
retailer may often not know when a shopper has entered the store, how much time a shopper
has spent in the store, the route the shopper takes, or where a shopper spends most or as
little time in the store, how decisions are actually made by the shopper, and similar customer
behavioral information. We are developing software for our smart carts to generate a wealth
of data on such shopping behavior which will be made accessible to the Company’s
advanced AI service (under development) for insight generation, as well as raw data access
to clients for use by with their own advanced data departments. The combination of the insights
based on the domain knowledge the Company has accumulated from its product together with
GenAI Large Language Models (LLMs) will serve stakeholders in the retail industry. |
Competition
and Competitive Strengths
There
are a number of companies currently offering smart carts to the retail industry in one form or another. Our Cust2Mate Products, and some
of other industry players, offer mobile self-checkout smart carts in which goods are scanned when placed in the smart cart. Other industry
participants offer solutions based on “Scan and Go” or image recognition technologies. We believe we are one of the only
smart carts providing a full end-to-end turnkey solution for all customers. Below is a brief summary of the various technologies:
| ● | “Scan
and Go” comprises a scanner and screen, either on cart or connected to an app
on the mobile phone. These solutions generally come without large screens and thus cannot
efficiently provide information and digital services, without on cart anti-fraud protection
and without on cart payment capabilities. Though inexpensive, the scan and go carts do not
provide the full user experience and retailer added value offered by our Cust2Mate Products. |
| ● | Image
Recognition. Many companies are trying to offer smart carts which do not require
the scanning of products but instead claim to utilize software which recognizes the products
as they are being placed in the smart cart (“one to many”). We believe that there
remain technological hurdles to adopting image recognition software both on a practical and
conceptual level. On a practical level, every store contains at least several tens of thousands
of SKUs which have to be accurately recognized every time in all configurations, from all
angles and in different lighting backgrounds, within a very short time without charging the
shopper for products not purchased, while charging the shopper for all products purchased.
This is a significant technological challenge. On a conceptual level, we believe many types
of products are not easily adapted to image recognition, such as clothing size, and meats
and cheeses purchased over the counter. |
In
addition, in an attempt to mitigate the increasing frustration of shoppers at the lengthening queues in the stores, many retailers have
installed self-checkout (SCO) stations with the aim that these would lead to a quicker checkout and reduced labor cost. However, these
SCO stations have not adequately solved such problems, as check-out queues have not disappeared, and the SCO stations have been accompanied
by equipment issues, high up-front costs, consumer confusion, sub-optimal use of space and increased risk of theft.
We
believe that our Cust2Mate Products have, and can further develop, the following competitive strengths:
|
● |
our
smart carts utilize existing technologies proven to work—there is no technological risk to overcome; barcode scanning is a
tried and tested, easy to use technology which can easily be adapted for use in a smart cart; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
software, hardware and customer success teams have, among them, decades of experience in retail technology, supporting our efforts
to design one stop shop smart cart solutions which answer the needs of the shopper, retailer and other stakeholders in the retail
industry; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
smart carts have a proven track record with hundreds of smart carts deployed in multiple sites and markets, enabling us to provide
the most comprehensive working solution, customer experience and digital platform; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
smart carts have multiple anti-fraud/theft capabilities which significantly reduce shrinkage from the carts without harming the shopping
experience; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
have successfully completed an initial trial of a computer vision product recognition solution, capable of matching the product put
into our smart cart with the product scanned (“one to one” as opposed to “one to many”); |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
have a filed a patent application of an AI-driven anomaly detection module which employs deep learning algorithms to monitor and
analyze shopper behavior in real-time (“the AI-Powered Shopping Cart Inventory Change Indicator System”), identifying
patterns that may indicate theft or other irregular activities, which utilizes high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images
of items placed into or removed from the shopping cart. The computer vision system processes these images to detect any changes,
enabling the system to identify discrepancies and potential theft attempts, thereby significantly improving inventory accuracy and
security. |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
intend to continue the development of “one to one” computer vision software and the AI-Powered Shopping Cart Inventory
Change Indicator System and incorporate the solutions in future Cust2Mate smart cart offerings. The solution will supplement the
smart car’s other anti-theft and fraud protection components; |
|
|
|
|
● |
a
barcode can provide additional information, over and above product identification; for example, by providing details of the expiry
or best before date which could allow dynamic pricing based on proximity of such date; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
smart carts can provide the retail industry with new revenue streams and insights; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
contemplated installed base subscription model allows for consistent revenue growth in a very large addressable market. |
We
continue to improve our smart carts. We have launched a lighter and easier to maneuver modular smart cart with a detachable control unit,
allowing the cart, without its expensive components, to leave the store premises and to be retrofitted onto existing carts.
Marketing
and Sales
We
are currently marketing directly to targeted customers and indirectly through local partners. In Israel, we sell our Cust2Mate Products
directly to our retailer customers. Outside of Israel, our local partners are responsible for support, training, implementation and sales
of our Cust2Mate Products, while we focus on product development and direct marketing with strategic customers.
We
currently have local distribution and service partners in the United States, Thailand, Mexico, Central America, Australia, France and
Romania. In the United States, we have a non-exclusive relationship with our distributor, who provides products and services to several
thousands of stores nationally. On July 12, 2023, Cust2mate established a wholly owned subsidiary Cust2mate USA Inc. (“Cust2Mate
USA”) as a strategic move to serve the thriving U.S. retail market more effectively. On September 19, 2024, we announced that we
had entered into a framework agreement with Level 10, LLC, a leading retail IT service provider, for in-field installation, deployment,
in-store and laboratory support, maintenance, help desk services and warranty fulfillment related to our Cust2Mate smart cart solutions
to be rolled out in the United States.
Our
distributors in France, Mexico, Central America, and Australia (each exclusive for certain chains) are leading suppliers and integrators
of retail technologies throughout the country. In Romania, we have an exclusive distributor relationship with a leading recognized information
technology provider to the retail industry in Romania. In Thailand, we have an exclusive distributor relationship with a leading supplier
of software to the retail industry.
Our
go-to-market strategy is built on the retail, grocery, and DIY markets, with a focus on supermarkets and hypermarket food chains within
Tier 1 (thousands of stores) and Tier 2 (hundreds of stores). We will manage targeted customers for Cust2Mate Products in selected regions
directly, leveraging select local partners for sales and distribution. Our local partners will take full responsibility for support,
training, implementation and sales, while we will focus on product development and direct contact with strategic customers.
On
September 10, 2024 we announced a strategic partnership with Nayax Ltd., to pair Nayax’s convenient automated self-service retail
mobile payment system with A2Z Cust2Mate’s innovative smart cart platform for smart retail stores. Nayax and A2Z Cust2Mate will
collaborate to sell the Cust2Mate 3.0 smart cart system with integrated Nayax payment technology as a unified, end-to-end solution for
retailers around the world. The first smart carts with Nayax’s payment solution have been deployed in France.
We
presently contemplate that Cust2Mate would (directly or through subsidiaries which it would establish for each country), be the provider
of the smart carts to the retailers and that Cust2Mate would enter into a revenue share or other commercial arrangement with its local
distribution and service partners.

proceeds of approximately $4 million. We paid $325,000 in cash and issued warrants to purchase 21,333 common shares as finders’
fees.
On
October 8, 2024, we effected a 1-for-2.5 reverse share split (“Reverse Share Split”) of our common shares. The common shares
continue to trade on Nasdaq under our existing trading symbol, “AZ,” and a new CUSIP number 002205102 has been assigned as
a result of the Reverse Share Split.
October

of $1.8 million. We paid $144,000 in cash and issued warrants to purchase 51,428 common shares as finders’ fees.
On
October 24, we announced that it received formal notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Nasdaq Stock Market”) stating
that we have regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). As previously disclosed,
we received a written notice on April 24, 2024, notifying us that we had failed to meet the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement
for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Stock Market. To regain compliance with the Listing Rule, our common shares were required to maintain
a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive business days, which was achieved on October 21, 2024. The Nasdaq
Stock Market has stated that this matter is now closed.
Effective
October 22, 2024, we extended the expiration dates of 653,746 warrants by twelve months to Nov 6, 2025 (the “Warrant Extension”).
These warrants were issued pursuant to private placements which closed on November 8, 2022. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof
to acquire one common share at a price of $3.75 per common share, and all other terms of the warrants, including exercise price, remain
the same.
On
December 11, 2024, our subsidiaries A2Z Advanced Solutions Ltd. (the “Buyer”) and Cust2mate Ltd. (“CL”) entered
into a Loan Repayment and Option Grant Agreement (“Loan and Option Agreement”) with Smart Cart Ltd. (“Smart Cart”)
and Oren Orlitsky (“Orlitsky” and, together with Smart Cart, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which CL agreed to pay
back to the Sellers their loan to CL in the amount of $363,714. The Sellers also granted the Buyer an option to purchase their combined
19.33% interest (on an as issued but not fully diluted basis) in CL (the “Transaction Shares”) for $2,000,000 (the “CL
Option”). The Buyer can exercise the option in full until December 31, 2025. If such option is exercised, and CL enters into a
fundamental transaction in the amount exceeding $10,500,000 by and including December 31, 2025, the Sellers shall receive that excess
amount which they would have received had they held the Transaction Shares on December 31, 2024.
On
December 16, 2024, we issued in a registered direct offering 1,947,000 common shares at a purchase price of $6.40 per share, for gross
proceeds of $12.46 million. We paid $997,000 in cash and issued 146,940 common shares as finders’ fees.
We are currently
in negotiations with potential strategic private equity investors for a proposed investment of up to approximately $15,000,000, at an
expected price per share equal to or greater than the public offering price per share in this offering. We hope to consummate this
investment within 30 days of the closing of this offering. No binding agreements relating to this proposed investment have been
executed and there is no guarantee that we will be able to consummate this proposed investment within the time period or on the terms
described, or at all.

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in the securities offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you
should consider carefully the risks described below and discussed under the sections captioned “Risk Factors” contained in
our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus, together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the
information and documents incorporated by reference herein. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation
of Information by Reference.” Our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially
and adversely impacted as a result of these risks. In that case, the trading price of the common shares could decline and investors could
lose all or part of their investment in the securities. There is no assurance that any risk management steps taken will avoid future
loss due to the occurrence of the below described risks or other unforeseen risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known
to us, or that are currently deemed immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect our business prospects, financial condition,
results of operations and/or cash flows.
Risks
Related to the Company
Our
current dependency on external funding for its operations raises a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
If we do not continue as a going concern, investors could lose their entire investment.
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have incurred recurring
losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, such that as of September 30, 2024, we had accumulated losses
of $89 million and a net loss in the amount of $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of the date of this prospectus
supplement, hawse have not yet commenced generating sufficient revenues to fund its operations, and therefore depends on fundraising
from new and existing investors to finance our activities. There can be no assurance that we will ever become profitable or continue
as a going concern.
We
have incurred significant losses and there can be no assurance when, or if, we will achieve or maintain profitability.
We
realized a net loss of approximately $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, approximately $17.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2023, $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and $39.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
We have an accumulated deficit of $89 million as of September 30, 2024, and $83.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Because of the numerous
risks and uncertainties associated with the provision of our maintenance services and sale and development of our products, we are unable
to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if at all. Expected future operating losses will have an
adverse effect on our cash resources, shareholders’ equity and working capital. Our failure to become and remain profitable could
depress the value of the common shares and impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain our development efforts,
or continue our operations. A decline in our value could also cause a holder of common shares to lose all or part of such holder’s
investment in the Company.
The
loss of major customers may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Historically,
one customer has been responsible for a significant portion of our smart-cart revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
and the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, this customer constituted 5%, 54%, 40% and 0% of the total revenues, respectively.
The percentage of our sales to our major customers may fluctuate from period to period, and our principal customers may also vary from
year to year. A significant reduction in sales to any of the major customers, or the loss of a major customer, could have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition.
Our
principal offices and a significant number of customers are located in Israel and, therefore, the business, financial condition and results
of operation may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel and in the Middle East.
Our
operational offices and a significant number of customers are located in Israel. In addition, a majority of our employees, officers and
directors are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in the Middle East may directly affect our
business. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its
neighboring countries. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners
could adversely affect our operations and results of operations.
In
October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian
and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s
border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries,
and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and commenced
a military campaign against Hamas and these terrorist organizations in parallel continued rocket and terror attacks. As a result of the
events of October 7, 2023 whereby Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israel and launched thousands of rockets in a widespread terrorist
attack on Israel, the Israeli government declared that the country was at war and the Israeli military began to call-up reservists for
active duty. To date, none of our management nor a significant number of employees have been called up for active duty; however military
service call ups that result in absences of personnel from us for an extended period of time may materially and adversely affect our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Since
the war broke out on October 7, 2023, we are continuing with our operations in Israel and globally. However, even though a ceasefire
was brokered with Hamas in January 2025, the intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict,
as are such war’s economic implications on our business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general. If the war extends
for a long period of time or expands to other fronts, such as Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank, our operations may be adversely affected.
In
addition, since the commencement of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon
(with the Hezbollah terror organization) and southern border (with the Houthi movement in Yemen). In October 2024, Israel began limited
ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and in November 2024, a ceasefire was brokered between Israel and Hezbollah. In addition,
Iran recently launched direct attacks on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles, has threatened to continue to attack Israel
and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the
region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq.
These situations may potentially escalate in the future to more violent events which may affect Israel and us. Any armed conflicts, terrorist
activities or political instability in the region could adversely affect business conditions, could harm our results of operations and
could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Parties with whom we do business may decline to travel to Israel during periods
of heightened unrest or tension, forcing us to make alternative arrangements when necessary in order to meet our business partners face
to face. Further, in the past, the State of Israel and Israeli companies have been subjected to economic boycotts. Several countries
still restrict business with the State of Israel and with Israeli companies. These restrictive laws and policies may have an adverse
impact on our operating results, financial condition or the expansion of our business. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption
or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations.
Our
commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with the security situation in the Middle
East. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks
or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or, if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate
us fully for damages incurred. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions
and could harm our results of operations.
Finally,
political conditions within Israel may affect our operations. Israel has held five general elections between 2019 and 2022, and prior
to October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system, which sparked extensive political
debate and unrest. To date, these initiatives have been substantially put on hold. Actual or perceived political instability in Israel
or any negative changes in the political environment, may individually or in the aggregate adversely affect the Israeli economy and,
in turn, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
There
can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.
Although
our common shares are currently listed on Nasdaq, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s minimum listing requirements
or those of any other national exchange. If we are unable to maintain listing on Nasdaq or if a liquid market for our common shares does
not develop or is sustained, our common shares may remain thinly traded.
On
April 24, 2024, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that, based upon our market value of listed securities (“MVLS”)
for the 30 consecutive business days from March 12, 2024, to April 23, 2024, we did not meet the minimum MVLS of $35,000,000 required
for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). On August 1, 2024, we received a formal
notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market informing us that we have regained compliance with the MVLS requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(b)(2) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
In
addition, also on April 24, 2024, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business
days, the closing bid price for our common shares have been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq
Stock Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
In
accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were given 180 calendar days, or until October 21, 2024, to regain compliance with
the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Even though we implemented the Reverse Share Split and have regained compliance with this rule prior
to October 21, 2024, there is no guarantee that we will be able to remain in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
If
the Nasdaq Stock Market determines to delist our common shares from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another
national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect
on our shareholders:
|
● |
the
liquidity of our common shares; |
|
● |
the
market price of our common shares; |
|
● |
our
ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations; |
|
● |
the
number of investors that will consider investing in our common shares; |
|
● |
the
number of market makers in our common shares; |
|
● |
the
availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common shares; and |
|
● |
the
number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in our common shares. |
Further,
if we were to be delisted from Nasdaq and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, our common shares
would cease to be recognized as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.
Moreover, there is no assurance that any actions that we take to maintain our compliance with the minimum bid price requirement would
stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common shares, prevent our common shares from falling below the minimum bid
price required for continued listing again, or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.
Risks
Related to This Offering
New
investors in our common shares will experience immediate and substantial dilution after this offering and the concurrent registered direct offering.
Since
the offering price for our common shares in this offering and the concurrent registered direct offering is substantially higher than
the net tangible book value per share of common shares outstanding prior to this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial
dilution in the net tangible book value of the common shares you purchase in this offering. Based on the public offering price of $6.40
per common share and our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024, if you purchase common shares in this offering,
you will suffer immediate dilution of $5.11 per common share with respect to the net tangible book value of the common shares.
See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you participate
in this offering.
An
investment in the common shares offered hereby is extremely speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.
An
investment in the common shares offered hereby is extremely speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return
on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in us, including the risk of losing their
entire investment.
We
have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds we receive from this offering and the concurrent registered direct offering and may not use them effectively.
Our
management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds we receive in this offering and the concurrent registered
direct offering, including for the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have
the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether our management is using the net proceeds appropriately. Because
of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of our net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent registered
direct offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply
these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price
of our common shares to decline. Pending their use, we may invest our net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent registered direct offering in short-term, investment-grade,
interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our shareholders.
Potential
volatility of the price of our common shares.
The
market price for our common shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including the following: (i) actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations; (ii) recommendations
by securities research analysts; (iii) changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other issuers that investors deem
comparable to us; (iv) addition or departure of our executive officers and other key personnel; (v) expiration of transfer restrictions
on outstanding common shares; (vi) sales or perceived sales of additional common shares; (vii) significant acquisitions or business combinations,
strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors; (viii) the announcement of new customers,
partners or suppliers; (ix) terrorist attacks, natural disasters, regional and global conflicts, sanctions, laws and regulations that
prohibit or limit operations in certain jurisdictions, public health crises or other such events impacting countries where we have operations
and (x) news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues
in our industries or target markets.
Financial
markets have recently experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity
securities of public entities and that have, in many cases, been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects
of such entities. Accordingly, the market price of the common shares may decline even if our operating results, underlying asset values
or prospects have not changed. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased
levels of volatility and market turmoil continue for a protracted period of time, our operations and the trading price of the common
shares may be materially adversely affected.
Additional
offerings in the future may dilute then existing shareholders’ percentage ownership of our company.
In
order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional common shares or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for our common shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering and the concurrent
registered direct offering. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share
that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by the investors in this offering and the concurrent registered direct
offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders.
The price per share at which we sell additional common shares or securities convertible into common shares in future transactions
may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering and the concurrent registered direct offering. You will
incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of common shares under our stock
incentive programs. In addition, the sale of shares in this offering , the concurrent registered direct offering and any
future sales of a substantial number of common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could
adversely affect the price of our common shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those common shares or
the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our common shares.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of our common shares in this offering will be approximately $19.1 million, after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We
intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for continued development and expansion of existing business, including fulfilment
of contracted smart cart backlog orders and acceleration of the onboarding process for new clients, and for working capital purposes.
We may also use $2.0 million of the net proceeds from this offering to exercise the CL Option.
As
of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering
and the concurrent registered direct offering. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of such proceeds. There
may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a re-allocation of funds may be necessary or advisable. The actual amount that
we spend in connection with each of the intended uses of proceeds may vary significantly from the amounts specified above, and will depend
on a number of factors, including those listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement, the prospectus
and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. If we do not invest or apply the proceeds of this offering and the concurrent registered direct offering in
ways that improve our operating results, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.
CAPITALIZATION
The
following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and consolidated capitalization as of September 30, 2024:

an actual basis; and
|
|
|
|

The
above discussion is based on 22,732,495 common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2024, the issuance of 6,857,802 shares issued
subsequent to September 30, 2024, and excludes, as of that date, the following:
|
● |
1,841,337
common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options under our Stock Option Plan, at a weighted-average exercise
price of $3.80 per share; |
|
|
|
|
● |
116,667
common shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted
stock units under our 2023 Restricted Share Unit Plan; |
|
|
|
|
● |
an
aggregate of 1,231,225 common shares reserved for future issuance under our Stock Option Plan and RSU Plan; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
4,906,996
common shares issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding warrants, at a weighted-average exercise price of $6.17 per share. |
Unless
otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement reflects and assumes no exercise of our outstanding warrants or stock
options, including no exercise of the Underwriter Warrants, and assumes no issuance of Finder’s Shares.
The
financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going
concern. We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, such that as of September
30, 2024, we had accumulated losses of $89 million and a net loss in the amount of $ 7.1 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2024. As of the date of the issuance of this prospectus supplement, we have not yet commenced generating sufficient revenues to fund
its operations, and therefore depend on fundraising from new and existing investors to finance our activities.
Considering
the above, our dependency on external funding for its operations raises a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. The condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
DILUTION
If
you invest in our common shares in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference
between the public offering price per common share and pro forma as adjusted, net tangible book value per common share immediately after
this offering and the concurrent registered direct offering.
Our
net tangible book value is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the number of shares of our common
shares outstanding as of September 30, 2024. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024, was negative $2.2 million, or negative
$0.10 per common share. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by
purchasers of common shares in this offering and the concurrent registered direct offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common shares immediately after
this offering.
After giving effect
to (i) the sale of the common shares in this offering at a public offering price of $6.40 per common share (which assumes no exercise
of the Underwriter Warrants), after deducting estimated offering expenses, (ii) the sale by us of 4,755,058 common shares in registered
direct offerings for net proceeds of approximately $16.7 million subsequent to September 30, 2024, and (iii) the receipt of the estimated
net proceeds of approximately $8.28 million from the sale of our common shares in the concurrent registered direct offering, after
deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us for the concurrent registered direct offering. Our pro forma as adjusted net tangible
book value as of September 30, 2024, would have been approximately $41.8 million, or approximately $1.29 per common share.
This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.77 per common share to our existing security
holders and an immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $5.11 per share to purchasers of our
common shares in this offering, as illustrated by the following table:

The
above discussion is based on 22,732,495 common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2024, the issuance of 6,857,802 shares
issued subsequent to September 30, 2024, and excludes, as of that date, the following:
|
● |
1,841,337 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options under our Stock Option Plan, at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.80 per share; |
|
|
|
|
● |
116,667 common shares issuable
upon the vesting of restricted stock units under our 2023 Restricted Share Unit Plan; |
|
|
|
|

an aggregate of 1,231,225 common shares reserved for future
issuance under our Stock Option Plan and RSU Plan; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
4,906,996 common shares
issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, at a weighted-average exercise price of $6.17 per share. |
Unless
otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement reflects and assumes no exercise of our outstanding warrants or stock
options, including no exercise of the Underwriter Warrants, and assumes no issuance of Finder’s Shares.
To
the extent that options and warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2024, have been or may be exercised or converted or we issue other
securities, investors may experience further dilution. In addition, we may seek to raise additional capital in the future through the
sale of equity or convertible debt securities. To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt
securities, the issuance of such securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.
UNDERWRITING
We
have entered into an underwriting agreement with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, or the underwriter,
with respect to the common shares subject to this offering.
Subject
to certain conditions, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter such common shares listed next to its name in the below table at the
public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.

The
underwriting agreement provides that the obligation of the underwriter to purchase the common shares offered by this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus is subject to certain conditions. The underwriter is obligated to purchase all of the common shares offered
hereby. The underwriter is offering the common shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject
to approval of legal matters by their counsel, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement. The underwriter reserves
the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.
The closing of the concurrent registered direct offering is expected to occur concurrently with the closing of this
offering. This offering is not contingent on the closing of the concurrent registered direct offering. The
underwriter will not receive any compensation for common shares sold in the concurrent registered direct offering.
Discounts,
Commissions and Expenses
The
underwriter proposes to offer the common shares purchased pursuant to the underwriting agreement to the public at the public
offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not
in excess of $0.224 per common share. After this offering, the public offering price and concession may be changed by the
underwriter. No such change shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus supplement.
In
connection with the sale of the common shares to be purchased by the underwriter, the underwriter will be deemed to have received compensation
in the form of underwriting commissions and discounts. The underwriting commissions and discounts will be 7.0% of the gross proceeds
of this offering, or $0.448 per common share, based on the public offering price per share set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus supplement.
We
have also agreed to reimburse the underwriter at closing for all reasonable and accountable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with this offering, up to a maximum amount of $100,000. Additionally, we have agreed to pay a non-accountable expense allowance equal
to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the common shares in this offering before deducting the underwriting discount and commissions.
We estimate that our total offering expenses for this offering, net of the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately
$0.9 million.
The
underwriter will not be receiving any compensation from the sale of our securities in the concurrent registered direct offering.
Underwriter
Warrants
Upon
the closing of this offering, we have agreed to issue to the underwriter, or its respective designees, warrants to purchase a number
of common shares equal to an aggregate of 7.0% of the total number of common shares sold in this offering. The underwriter warrants will
be exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price of the common shares sold in this offering, or $8.00
per share. The underwriter warrants are exercisable commencing six (6) months after the date of this prospectus supplement, and will
be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance.
The
underwriter warrants and the common shares underlying the underwriter warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore
subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. Neither the underwriter nor its permitted assignees under such rule,
may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the underwriter warrants or the securities underlying the underwriter warrants, nor
will the underwriters engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic
disposition of the underwriter warrants or the underlying shares for a period of 180 days from the date of commencement of sales in this
offering.

period covered by the lock-up agreement, except as required by applicable securities laws, and (ii) no sale of our common shares are
made pursuant to such plan during the period covered by the lock-up agreement.

Distribution
This
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made available in electronic format on websites or through other online
services maintained by the underwriter or by its affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and
prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. Other than this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in

in its capacity as the underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.
Passive
Market Making
In
connection with this offering, the underwriter and selling group members may also engage in passive market making transactions in our
common shares. Passive market making consists of displaying bids limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases
limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC limits the amount of net purchases
that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the
common shares at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Nasdaq
Capital Market Listing
Our
common shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AZ.” The last reported sale price of our common shares
on January 24, 2025 was $6.52 per share.
Price
Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids
In
connection with the offering, the underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids
in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act:
●
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
●
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in
order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider,
among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market.
●
Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common shares originally sold by
the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
These
stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price
of our common shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common shares. As a result, the price of our common
shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
Neither
we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described
above may have on the price of our common shares. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter
will engage in these transactions or that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

underwriter is a full-service financial institution engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and
investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The

Incorporation
of Certain Information by Reference
The
SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” information we have filed with the SEC into this prospectus. This means
that we can disclose important information to you by referring to another document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated

and supersede the information in this prospectus. The information that we incorporate by reference in this prospectus is deemed to be
a part of this prospectus. This prospectus incorporates by reference the documents listed below that we have previously filed with the

Forward-Looking
Statements
This
prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, contains forward-looking statements. These statements
are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions
regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified
by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,”
“intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,”
“will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” and other similar expressions,
although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that
are not historical facts. They appear in many places throughout this prospectus and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs
or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, business prospects,
growth, strategies, expectations regarding industry trends and the size and growth rates of addressable markets, our business plan and
growth strategies, including plans for expansion to new markets and new products, and the industry in which we operate.
Risks
which could affect future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements
contained in this prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, include:
|
● |
The
Company has incurred significant losses and there can be no assurance when, or if, the Company will achieve or maintain profitability. |
|
● |
The
Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital to meet the Company’s business requirements in the future, which is likely
to be challenging, could be highly dilutive and may cause the market price of the common shares to decline. |
|
● |
The
Company’s business is subject to risks
arising from a widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, such as the
COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted and could continue to impact the business. |
|
● |
Failure
to effectively develop and expand the Company’s sales and marketing capabilities could harm the ability to grow the
business and achieve broader market acceptance of the Company’s products. |
|
● |
The
Company expects the sales cycle to be long and unpredictable and require considerable time and expense before executing a customer
agreement, which may make it difficult to project when, if at all, the Company will obtain new customers and when the Company will
generate revenue from those customers. |
|
● |
If
the Company is not able to enhance the brand and increase market awareness of the Company and products, then the business, results
of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. |
|
● |
If
the Company does not develop enhancements to the technology and introduce new products that achieve market acceptance, the business,
results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. |
|
● |
The
technology markets in which the Company competes are both subject to rapid technological change and, to compete, the Company must
continually enhance its products and services. |
|
● |
The
Company’s growth depends, in part, on the
success of the strategic relationships with third parties. |
|
● |
The
Company’s future profitability depends,
in part, on subcontractor and supplier performance and financial viability as well as component availability and
pricing. |
|
● |
Information
technology system failures or breaches of the Company’s network security could interrupt the operations and adversely affect the business. |
|
● |
Real
or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in the technology could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and growth prospects. |
|
● |
The
Company could be harmed by improper disclosure or loss of sensitive or confidential Company, employee, or customer data, including
personal data. |
|
● |
A
material breach in security relating to the Company’s information systems and regulation related to such breaches could adversely affect
the Company. |
|
● |
The
Company’s contracts may contain performance
obligations that require innovative design capabilities, are technologically complex, require state-of-the-art manufacturing expertise
or are dependent upon factors not wholly within the Company’s control. Failure to meet the contractual obligations could
adversely affect the Company’s profitability, reputation and future prospects. |
|
● |
The
Company’s insurance coverage, customer
indemnifications or other liability protections may be unavailable or inadequate to cover all of the significant risks or the insurers
may deny coverage of or be unable to pay for material losses the Company incurs, which could adversely affect the Company’s profitability
and overall financial position. |
|
● |
The
Company may not be able to adequately protect its intellectual property, which, in turn, could harm the value of the brands and adversely
affect the business. |
|
● |
The
Company’s business operations and future
development could be significantly disrupted if the Company loses key members of its management team. |
|
● |
The
Company’s ability to meet the needs of
its customers depends, in part, on the Company’s ability to maintain a qualified workforce. |
|
● |
If
the Company is able to expand the operations, the Company may be unable to successfully manage its future growth. |
|
● |
The
Company may become subject to various investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions, litigation, arbitration and other legal
proceedings that could ultimately be resolved against the Company. |
|
● |
The
Company’s reputation, the ability to do
business and the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows may be impacted by the improper conduct of employees,
agents, subcontractors, suppliers, business partners or joint ventures in which the Company participates. |
|
● |
The
Company’s principal offices and customers
are located in Israel and, therefore, the business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected by
political, economic and military instability in Israel. |
|
● |
The
Company’s operations may be disrupted as
a result of the obligation of management or key personnel to perform military service. |
|
● |
It
may be difficult to enforce a judgment of a Canadian court against the Company, certain of the Company’s officers and directors or the
Israeli experts named in the prospectus are in Israel, to assert Canadian securities laws claims in Israel or to serve process on
certain of the officers and directors and these experts. |
|
● |
The
Company may become subject to claims for payment of compensation for assigned service inventions by the Company’s current or former
employees, which could result in litigation and adversely affect the business. |
|
● |
A
more active, liquid trading market for the common shares may not develop, and the price of the common shares may fluctuate significantly. |
|
● |
Concentration
of ownership of the common shares may enable one shareholder or a small number of shareholders to significantly influence matters
requiring shareholder approval. |
|
● |
Sales
by the Company’s shareholders of a substantial number of the common shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price
of the common shares. |

The
exercise of outstanding warrants and options will have a dilutive effect on the percentage ownership of the common shares by existing
shareholders. |

PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
This

the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before deciding to invest in our securities, you should
read this entire prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement carefully, including the sections of this prospectus entitled “Risk
Factors”, “Forward-Looking Statements”, the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form
20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein (together with any material changes thereto contained in subsequent filed
reports on Form 6-K), our consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus and all
other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Our
Company
The
Company was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”),
on January 15, 2018 under the name ECC Ventures 1 Corp. (“ECC1”). On July 20, 2020, the Company changed its name to “A2Z
Smart Technologies Corp.” to better reflect the Company’s business plan.
The
Company’s principal place of business and
its registered and records office of the Company is located at 1600 - 609 Granville Street Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V7Y 1C3;
telephone +16475585564. The Company has appointed Cogency Global Inc., with an address at 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York,
NY 10168; telephone 1-800-221-0102, as its agent for service of process in the United States. The Company’s operational offices are located
at Alon 2 Tower, 94 Yigal Alon St., Tel Aviv, Israel.
The
Company is an innovative technology company specializing in the application of the Company’s existing military and civilisation
technology for supermarket “smart carts” (the “Cust2Mate Carts”). The Company, through its subsidiaries, has
four main business lines: (i) the development and commercialization of retail automation solutions, in particular for large grocery stores
and supermarkets, including the Cust2Mate Carts (the “Cust2Mate Products”); (ii) manufacturing of precision metal parts (following
the acquisition of a new subsidiary, Isramat, as outlined in further detail below); (iii) the provision of maintenance services utilizing
the application of advanced engineering capabilities (the “Maintenance Services”); and (iv) the development of the Company’s
FTICS technology and a vehicle device cover for the military and civilian automotive industry (collectively, the “Automotive Products”).
Historically,
the Company’s revenues were principally generated from the maintenance services that are provided to the Israeli military/security
market. The Company’s products, which have historically been sold to the Israeli military/security markets, include unmanned remote-controlled
vehicles of various sizes and capabilities designed for intricate bomb disposal, counter terrorism, and firefighting, as well as energy
storage power packs, all of which are fully commercialized for military use.
During
2020, the Company began to rapidly adapt its existing technology and know-how for the civilian markets, including the development of
its Cust2Mate Products. This was in addition to the continuation of the Company’s existing sales to the Israeli military/security markets.
The expansion into the civilian markets led to significantly increased expenditures which the Company was able to finance through a series
of equity raises in 2021 and 2022. The Company has not, and does not intend to, export any military or defense related technology and
accordingly, no approvals are required.
In
2022, and through 2023, the Company continues to focus its attention on its Cust2Mate Products division and aims to become the leading
mobile self-checkout system in the international market, providing the optimum solution which simultaneously meets the needs of both
shoppers and supermarket retailers. The Company will continue to sell its Maintenance Services in Israel only and has suspended the further
development of its military products. The Maintenance Services division of the Company is self-sustaining financially. It provides a
steady base for the Company’s operations and the Company intends to maintain this operation and expand it to cover the maintenance
and support services required by the Cust2mate Products. To the extent that future research, development and marketing expenditures are
concerned, the Company currently intends on investing the majority of its resources in the smart cart industry and towards the development
of the Cust2Mate Products. The Company believes its current technological and operational capabilities are most effectively focused on
growing the Company’s position in the smart cart industry.
During
the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Isramat, a privately held Israeli company.
This acquisition vertically integrates certain manufacturing capabilities for the production of the Cust2Mate Products, such as precision
metal fabrication of parts, while complementing existing contract manufacturing partnerships to support the Company’s growth.
The
raw materials required by the Company’s subsidiaries are readily available from multiple suppliers worldwide and their purchase costs do
not fluctuate more than standard raw materials.
The
following chart sets out all of the Company’s material subsidiaries as at the date hereof, their jurisdictions of incorporation
and the Company’s direct and indirect voting interest in each of these subsidiaries:
Implications
of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer
Emerging
Growth Company
We
are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company
until the earliest to occur of: the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues; the date
we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; the issuance,
in any three-year period, by us of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and the last day of the fiscal year ending
after the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to a U.S. registration.
As
an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other
publicly traded entities that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include: (i) the option to present only two years of
audited financial statements and related discussion in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” in our filings with the SEC; (ii) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; (iii) not being required to comply with any requirement that may be
adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s
report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); (iv)
not being required to submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay,”
“say-on-frequency,” and “say-on-golden parachutes”; and (v) not being required to disclose certain executive
compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive
officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.
Foreign
Private Issuer
We
report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging
growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of
the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including: (i) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the
solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (ii) the sections of
the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders
who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and (iii) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specific information, and current reports on Form 8-K upon the
occurrence of specified significant events.
Risk
Factors
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading
“Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and under similar headings in our Annual Report on Form
20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, as updated by our subsequent filings, some of which are incorporated by reference into this
prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might
cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
Offer
Statistics and Expected Timetable
We
may sell from time to time pursuant to this prospectus (as may be detailed in prospectus supplements) an indeterminate number of securities
as shall have a maximum aggregate offering price of $200,000,000. The actual per share price of the securities that we will offer pursuant
hereto will depend on a number of factors that may be relevant as of the time of offer (see “Plan of Distribution” below).
Enforceability
of Civil Liabilities
We
are a company organized and existing under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Substantially all of our assets are
located outside the United States. In addition, several of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other
than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets may be located outside the United States. As a
result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce
against them or against us, 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 thereof. In addition, investors should not assume that the courts of Canada
(i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us, our officers or directors, or other said persons, predicated
upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in
original actions, liabilities against us or such directors, officers or experts predicated upon the United States federal securities
laws or any securities or other laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States.
In
addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law to original actions
instituted in Canada. It may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original
actions instituted in Canada.
Use
of Proceeds
Unless
we indicate a different use in an accompanying prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from our sale of the offered securities may be
used for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, sales and marketing, research and development
expenditures and acquisitions of new technologies and investments.
Until
the net proceeds have been used, we may invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments.
The
applicable prospectus supplement will provide more details on the use of proceeds of any specific offering.
Capitalization
and Indebtedness
The
applicable prospectus supplement will describe any material change, and the effect of such material change, on our share and loan capitalization
that will result from the issuance of securities pursuant to such prospectus supplement.
Since
December 31, 2022, there have been no changes in our consolidated share or debt capital, other than as follows:
|

On
January 4, 2023, the Company granted 1,027,000 Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) to directors, officers and advisers, of
which 250,000 RSU’s are to executives and directors, pursuant to the Company’s RSU Plan and in acknowledgment
of the Company’s management recent success and increased future workload. The RSUs vest at each recipient’s discretion and taking
into account personal tax implications and convert into 1,027,000 shares. The Company also granted 816,500 stock options to s directors,
officers and advisers at an exercise price of CAD$1.65. 800,000 options vest immediately, and the remainder in eight equal installments

(CAD$1.95), for gross proceeds of US$2,604,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one common share purchase
warrant. Escrow was released in late March 2023. An aggregate of 891,778 warrants were issued and when exercised in accordance with
the terms of the warrant certificates, and upon payment of an exercise price of CAD$2.35 (US$1.75), will result in the issuance of
an additional 891,778 common shares. A finder’s fee of $208 (CAD$290,000) was paid in respect of the closing, and 142,685 warrants
were issued to the finder. |

receive dividends when declared by the directors out of funds or assets properly available for the payment of dividends, in such amount
and in such form as the directors may from time to time determine, provided however that such dividends shall not be paid if doing so
would reduce the value of our net assets to less than the total redemption amount of all issued preferred shares (if any).
In
the event of our dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and subject to the prior rights of the holders of the preferred shares, holders
of common shares will be entitled to share equally in our remaining property and assets, if any, subject to the right of the holders

The

series are issued, our board of directors shall, by resolution, fix the number of preferred shares that will form such series and shall,
by resolution, fix the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the preferred shares of such series.
The preferred shares of each series shall rank on a parity with the preferred shares of every other series with respect to priority in

Each
series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement which we will enter into with a bank or trust company, as rights agent,

Description
of Units to be Issued
Subject
to receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, we may issue, separately or together with, or upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of other securities, units comprised of one or more of the securities described in this prospectus in any combination, as set forth in
the applicable prospectus supplement. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit also is the holder of each security included
in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement
under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time
or at any time before a specified date.
The
applicable prospectus supplement relating to the units we may offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including,
among others: the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, and whether and under what circumstances
those securities may be held or transferred separately; any provision for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of
the units or of the securities comprising those units; and whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form. This
summary is therefore subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of any applicable unit agreement,
including any definitions of terms used therein. Your rights will be defined by the terms of any applicable unit agreement, not the summary
provided herein. This summary is also subject to and qualified by reference to the description of the particular terms of a particular
unit described in the applicable prospectus supplement or supplements.
Plan
of Distribution
We
may sell the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time by one or more of the following methods, or any combination thereof,
or through any other method permitted by law: to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers, with or without an underwriting syndicate,
for them to offer and sell to the public; directly to one or more purchasers in negotiated purchases or in competitively bid transactions;
through designated agents; directly to holders of warrants exercisable for our securities upon the exercise of warrants; or through a
combination of any of these methods of sale. We reserve the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of
securities, whether the purchase is to be made directly or through agents.
Each
time that we use this prospectus to sell our securities, we will also provide a prospectus supplement that contains the specific terms
of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the types and amounts of securities underwritten
or purchased by each of them; the public offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us; any over-allotment options under which
underwriters may purchase additional securities from us; any agency fees or underwriting discounts or other items constituting agents’
or underwriters’ compensation; any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, agents or
dealers; any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed; and any delayed delivery arrangements.
The
offer and sale of the securities described in this prospectus by us, the underwriters, or the third parties described above may be effected
from time to time in one or more transactions: at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; at market prices prevailing at the time
of sale; in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market
maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange, or otherwise; at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or at negotiated
prices.
Any
public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
Unless
otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, each series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market,
other than our common shares, which are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We may elect to list any securities on an exchange, but
we are not obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters
will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the
liquidity of, or the trading market for, any offered securities.
If
underwriters are used in the sale of any securities, the 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. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented
by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters’ obligations to purchase the securities will
be subject to certain conditions precedent set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public
through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The underwriters will be
obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities. Only underwriters that we have named in the prospectus
supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by that prospectus supplement.
If
we use dealers in the sale of securities, we may sell securities to such dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell the securities
to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the time of resale. If we use agents in the sale of securities, unless
otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, they will use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of
their appointment. We may solicit offers to purchase the securities directly, and we may sell the securities directly to institutional
or other investors, who may be deemed underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resales of those securities.
Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, if we sell directly, no underwriters, dealers or agents will be involved. The
terms of these sales will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will not make an offer of securities in any jurisdiction
that does not permit such an offer. We may authorize underwriters, dealers, or agents to solicit offers by certain types of institutional
investors to purchase our securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery
contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions
set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions or discounts we pay for solicitation
of these contracts.
Agents
and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act,
or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters
may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.
In
connection with any offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short
sales, over-allotment, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales and penalty bids. Short sales
involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Over-allotment
involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases
of the offered securities or any underlying securities made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price
of the securities while an offering is in progress. Short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise
of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit
the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing
or covering transaction to cover short positions. These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the
market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the
open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected
on an exchange (if the securities are listed on an exchange) in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
We
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 then the third parties
may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so,
the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open
borrowings of shares, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings
of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement
(or a post-effective amendment).
In
connection with the distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus, we may enter into swap or other hedging transactions
with, or arranged by, underwriters or agents or their affiliates. These underwriters or agents or their affiliates may receive compensation,
trading gain or other benefits from these transactions.
Under
the securities laws of some states, to the extent applicable, the securities may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless such securities have been registered or qualified
for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Articles
of Association
Key
Provisions of our Articles and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)
The
following is a summary of certain key provisions of our articles and certain related sections of the Business Corporations Act (British
Columbia) (the “BCBCA”). This is only a summary and is not intended to be exhaustive. For further information please refer
to the full version of our articles attached as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed
with the SEC on March 27, 2023.
Stated
Objects or Purposes
Our
articles do not contain stated objects or purposes and do not place any limitations on the business that we may carry on.
Directors
Power
to vote on matters in which a director is materially interested. Under the BCBCA a director who has a material interest in a contract
or transaction, whether made or proposed, that is material to us, must disclose such interest to us, subject to certain exceptions such
as if the contract or transaction: (i) is an arrangement by way of security granted by us for money loaned to, or obligations undertaken
by, the director for our benefit or for one of our affiliates’ benefit; (ii) relates to an indemnity or insurance permitted under
the BCBCA; (iii) relates to the remuneration of the director in his or her capacity as director, officer, employee or agent of our company
or of one of our affiliates; (iv) relates to a loan to our company while the director is the guarantor of some or all of the loan; or
(v) is with a corporation that is affiliated with us while the director is also a director or senior officer of that corporation or an
affiliate of that corporation. Directors will also be required to comply with certain other relevant provisions of the BCBCA regarding
conflicts of interest.
Under
our articles, a director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company has entered or proposes
to enter is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution to approve that contract or transaction, unless all the directors
have a disclosable interest in that contract or transaction, in which case any or all of those directors may vote on such resolution.
Directors’
power to determine the remuneration of directors. The remuneration of our directors, if any, may be determined by our directors subject
to our articles. If the directors so decide, the remuneration of the directors, if any, will be determined by the shareholders. That
remuneration may be in addition to any salary or other remuneration paid to any officer or employee of the Company as such, who is also
a director.
Number
of shares required to be owned by a director. Neither our articles nor the BCBCA provide that a director is required to hold any
of our shares as a qualification for holding his or her office. To align the economic interests of directors with those of our shareholders,
non-executive directors receive $1,150 CAD per month for their services.
Certain
Amendments and Change of Control
In
addition to any other voting right or power to which the holders of voting shares shall be entitled by law or regulation or other provisions
of our articles from time to time in effect, but subject to the provisions of our articles, holders of voting shares shall be entitled
to vote separately as a class, in addition to any other vote of our shareholders that may be required, in respect of any alteration,
repeal or amendment of our articles which would adversely affect the rights or special rights of the holders of common shares or affect
the holders of common shares differently, on a per share basis.
Our
articles do not contain any change of control limitations with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring that involves
us.
Shareholder
Meetings
Subject
to applicable stock exchange requirements, we must hold a general meeting of our shareholders at least once every calendar year at a
time and place determined by our board of directors, provided that the meeting must not be held later than 15 months after the preceding
annual general meeting.
The
Company must send notice of the date, time and location of any meeting of shareholders (including, without limitation, any notice specifying
the intention to propose a resolution as an exceptional resolution, a special resolution or a special separate resolution, and any notice
to consider approving an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction, an arrangement or the adoption of an amalgamation agreement, and any
notice of a general meeting, class meeting or series meeting), in the manner provided in our Articles, or in such other manner, if any,
as may be prescribed by ordinary resolution (whether previous notice of the resolution has been given or not), to each shareholder entitled
to attend the meeting, to each director and to the auditor of the Company, unless our Articles otherwise provide, at least the following
number of days before the meeting: (1) if and for so long as the Company is a public company, 21 days; (2) otherwise, 10 days. Under
the BCBCA, shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting may waive or reduce the period of notice for that meeting, provided applicable
securities laws are met. The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting of shareholders to, or the non-receipt of any notice by,
any of the persons entitled to notice does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.
Subject
to the special rights and restrictions attached to the shares of any class or series of shares and to Article 11.4 of our Articles, the
quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who,
in the aggregate, hold at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. If there is only one shareholder entitled
to vote at a meeting of shareholders: (1) the quorum is one person who is, or who represents by proxy, that shareholder, and (2) that
shareholder, present in person or by proxy, may constitute the meeting.
Shareholder
Proposals
Under
the BCBCA, qualified shareholders holding shares that constitute (i) at least one percent (1%) of our issued voting shares or (ii) have
a fair market value in excess of CAD$2,000 may make proposals for matters to be considered at the annual general meeting of shareholders.
Such proposals must be sent to us in advance of any proposed meeting by delivering a timely written notice in proper form to our registered
office in accordance with the requirements of the BCBCA. The notice must include information on the business the shareholder intends
to bring before the meeting. To be a qualified shareholder, a shareholder must currently be and have been a registered or beneficial
owner of at least one share of the company for at least two years before the date of signing the proposal.
Limitation
on Rights to Own Securities
There
are no limitations on rights to own or exercise voting rights on our securities by the BCBCA or our articles.
Limitation
of Liability and Indemnification
Under
the BCBCA, a company may indemnify: (i) a current or former director or officer of that company; (ii) a current or former director or
officer of another corporation if, at the time such individual held such office, the corporation was an affiliate of the company, or
if such individual held such office at the company’s request; or (iii) an individual who, at the request of the company, held,
or holds, an equivalent position in another entity (an “indemnifiable person”) against all costs, charges and expenses, including
an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative
or other legal proceeding or investigative action (whether current, threatened, pending or completed) in which he or she is involved
because of that person’s position as an indemnifiable person, unless: (i) the individual did not act honestly and in good faith
with a view to the best interests of such company or the other entity, as the case may be; or (ii) in the case of a proceeding other
than a civil proceeding, the individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.
A company cannot indemnify an indemnifiable person if it is prohibited from doing so under its articles or by applicable law. A company
may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by an indemnifiable person in respect of that proceeding only if the indemnifiable person has provided an undertaking that, if it is
ultimately determined that the payment of expenses was prohibited, the indemnifiable person will repay any amounts advanced. Subject
to the aforementioned prohibitions on indemnification, a company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an indemnifiable person in respect of such eligible proceeding if such indemnifiable person
has not been reimbursed for such expenses, and was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of such eligible proceeding
or was substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of such eligible proceeding. On application from an indemnifiable person
or the company, a court may make any order the court considers appropriate in respect of an eligible proceeding, including the indemnification
of penalties imposed or expenses incurred in any such proceedings and the enforcement of an indemnification agreement. As permitted by
the BCBCA, our articles require us to indemnify our directors, former directors or alternate directors (and such individual’s respective
heirs and legal representatives) and permit us to indemnify any person to the extent permitted by the BCBCA.
