Additional risks not presently known to\nus or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition or results of\noperations could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price and value of our ordinary shares could decline\ndue to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements\nthat involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements\nas a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. See “Cautionary\nStatement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page v of this Annual Report. Such risks include, but are not limited to:*\n\n* *\n\n**Summary\nRisk Factors**\n\n** **\n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, Our Internal Controls, Nasdaq Compliance, Financing and Related Matters**\n\n** **\n\n●Our\nliquidity issues and our defaults under outstanding debt may force us to seek bankruptcy\nor insolvency court protection, which could materially adversely affect our business and\noperations.\n\n \n\n●We\nfinanced our operations and certain capital needs through various debt, convertible debt\nand equity issuances. Our existing and future debt obligations could impair our liquidity\nand financial condition. We are currently in default under certain of our debt obligations.\nIf we are unable to negotiate a solution for the payment of our outstanding debt or otherwise\nmeet our debt obligations, the lenders could foreclose on our assets which could cause us\nto curtail or cease operations or have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations\nand financial condition and the price of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\n1\n\n \n\n●All\nof our debt obligations have priority over our ordinary shares with respect to payment in\nthe event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and there can be no assurance that any\nvalue would remain for the holders of our ordinary shares in such an event.\n\n \n\n●We\nare a company with a history of net losses and anticipate that we may incur net losses for\nthe foreseeable future and may never be profitable. Moreover, our independent registered\npublic accounting firm’s report, contained herein, includes an explanatory paragraph\nthat expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern,\nindicating the possibility that we may not be able to continue to operate in the future.\n\n \n\n●Conversions\nof our outstanding convertible debt at substantially discounted prices have caused, and may\ncontinue to cause, severe dilution to our existing shareholders and downward pressure on\nthe market price of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\n●We\nhave not been able to consistently remain in compliance with the continued listing standards\nof the Nasdaq. The persistence of such failure could result in a delisting of our securities,\nwhich could significantly impair the liquidity and market price of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\n●Our\nprevious reverse share splits, and any future reverse share splits, may decrease the liquidity\nof our ordinary shares and have a dilutive effect on the ownership of our existing shareholders,\nand we cannot assure you that any future reverse share split will result in a sustained increase\nin the market price of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\n●Our\nordinary shares could be subject to the “penny stock” rules in the future, which\nwould impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers and could severely\nlimit the market price and liquidity of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\n●We\nwill need to raise additional funds in the near future in order to execute our business plan\nand these funds may not be available to us when we need them. If we cannot raise additional\nfunds when we need them, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results\ncould be negatively affected. \n\n \n\n●We\nhave identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If\nour remediation of the material weaknesses is not effective, or we fail to develop and maintain\neffective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate\nfinancial statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations could be impaired.\n\n \n\n●Our\npreviously disclosed internal investigation was initiated to review allegations of misappropriation\nof Company funds and other potential fraudulent actions regarding the use of Company funds\nby a former senior officer of the Company. In January 2026, the Israel Securities Authority\nconcluded its related investigation and transferred the investigation file to the Tel Aviv\nDistrict Attorney’s Office (Taxation and Economic Crimes) for a resolution, the status\nof which remains uncertain. We are unable to predict the effectiveness of any remediation\nmeasures recommended by the Special Committee.  In addition, we have incurred and may\ncontinue to incur substantial costs in connection with the internal investigation, which\ncould have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of\noperations. \n\n \n\n2\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Business and Industry** \n\n** **\n\n●An\ninability to attract new customers, retain existing customers and sell additional services\nto customers could adversely impact our revenue and results of operations.\n\n \n\n●Actions\nthat we have taken or may take to reduce costs and rebalance investments may not result in\nanticipated savings or operational efficiencies, could result in total costs and expenses\nthat are greater than expected, and could disrupt our business.\n\n \n\n●Our\nlimited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects and increases\nthe risk of your investment.\n\n \n\n●Competition\nin the market for technology solutions, in general, is intense. If we are unable to compete\neffectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. \n\n \n\n●Our\nability to introduce new products, features, integrations and enhancements is dependent on\nadequate research and development resources. \n\n \n\n●If\nwe are unable to acquire large enterprise customers or sell additional products and services\nto our existing customers, our future revenues and operating results will be harmed. \n\n \n\n●We\ncurrently have and target many customers that are large corporations and government entities,\nwhich are subject to a number of challenges and risks, such as increased competitive pressures,\nadministrative delays and additional approval requirements. \n\n \n\n●We\nhave not fully succeeded to execute, integrate or realize the benefits expected from acquisitions,\nwhich may require significant management attention, disrupt our business and adversely affect\nour results of operations. \n\n \n\n●The\nmarket for our solutions may not continue to grow. \n\n \n\n●Our\noperating results may fluctuate significantly and could fall below the expectations of securities\nanalysts and investors due to seasonality and other factors, some of which are beyond our\ncontrol, resulting in a decline in our stock price. \n\n \n\n●Certain\nmembers of our management team have limited experience managing a U.S. listed publicly traded\ncompany. \n\n \n\n●Due\nto our limited resources, we may be forced to focus on a limited number of commercial opportunities\nwhich may force us to pass on opportunities that could have a greater chance of success.\n\n \n\n3\n\n \n\n●Uncertainties\nrelated to our recent management changes may adversely affect our business, strategy and\nfinancial results.\n\n \n\n●Our\nbusiness relies on the performance of, and we face stark competition for, highly skilled\npersonnel, including our management and other key employees, and the loss of one or more\nof such personnel or of a significant number of our team members or the inability to attract\nand retain executives and qualified employees we need to support our operations and growth,\ncould harm our business. \n\n \n\n●Prolonged\neconomic uncertainties or downturns in certain regions or industries could materially adversely\naffect our business. \n\n \n\n●Our\nsales and operations in international markets expose us to operational, financial and regulatory\nrisks. \n\n \n\n●Changes\nin tax laws or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our future profitability. \n\n \n\n●Forecasting\nour estimated annual effective tax rate is complex and subject to uncertainty, and there\nmay be material differences between forecasted and actual tax rates. \n\n \n\n●Fluctuations\nin currency exchange rates could harm our operating results and financial condition. \n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Systems and Technology**\n\n** **\n\n●Our\nreputation and business could be harmed based on real or perceived shortcomings, defects\nor vulnerabilities in our solutions or if our internal systems or customers experience security\nbreaches, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation and operating\nresults. \n\n \n\n●We\nincorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into some of our services.\nThis technology is new and developing and may present both compliance and reputational risks.\n\n \n\n●Undetected\ndefects and errors may increase our costs and impair market acceptance of our products and\nsolutions. \n\n \n\n●Interruption\nor failure of our information technology and communications systems could impact our ability\nto effectively provide our products and services. \n\n \n\n●We\nmay incorporate third-party technologies in our products, which would make us dependent on\nthe providers of these technologies and exposes us to potential intellectual property claims. \n\n \n\n●If\nour products do not effectively interoperate with our customers’ existing or future\nIT infrastructures, implementations of our products could be delayed or canceled, which could\nharm our business. \n\n \n\n4\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Intellectual Property** \n\n** **\n\n●Our\nproprietary rights may be difficult to enforce, which could enable others to copy or use\naspects of our products without compensating us. \n\n \n\n●We\nmay not be able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights or prevent\nunauthorized parties from copying or reverse engineering our products or technology. Our\nefforts to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights and prevent third parties\nfrom violating our rights may be costly. \n\n \n\n●Third-party\nclaims that we are infringing intellectual property, whether successful or not, could subject\nus to costly and time-consuming litigation or expensive licenses, and our business could\nbe adversely affected. \n\n \n\n●Certain\nof our products contain third-party open-source software components, and failure to comply\nwith the terms of the underlying open-source software licenses could restrict our ability\nto sell our products or expose us to other risks. \n\n \n\n●We\nrely on unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, designs, experiences, workflows,\ndata, processes, software, and know-how. \n\n** **\n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Legal and Regulatory Environment** \n\n** **\n\n●We\nare subject to a securities class action and other litigations and could be subject to additional\nlitigation in the United States, Israel or elsewhere that could negatively impact our business,\nincluding resulting in substantial costs and liabilities. Specifically, we are subject to\na pending lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York relating to our 2023 de-SPAC\nmerger seeking damages of not less than $5.08 million, plus interest, attorneys’ fees\nand costs, and the plaintiff has filed a motion for entry of a default judgment, the entry\nof which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results\nof operations and liquidity.\n\n \n\n●The\ndynamic regulatory environment around privacy and data protection may limit our offering\nor require modification of our products and services, which could limit our ability to attract\nnew customers and support our existing customers and increase our operational expenses. We\ncould also be subject to investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions alleging that\nwe fail to comply with the regulatory requirements, which could harm our operating results\nand adversely affect our business. \n\n \n\n●Failure\nto comply with applicable economic sanctions laws and regulations could harm our business. \n\n \n\n●Our\nbusiness may be affected by sanctions, export controls and similar measures targeting Russia\nand other countries and territories as well as other responses to Russia’s military\nconflict in Ukraine, including indefinite suspension of operations in Russia and dealings\nwith Russian entities by many multi-national businesses across a variety of industries. \n\n \n\n5\n\n \n\n●We\nare subject to complex, evolving regulatory requirements that may be difficult and expensive\nto comply with and that could negatively impact our business. \n\n \n\n●We\nare subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and similar laws, and\nnon-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal penalties or significant fines and\nharm our business and reputation. \n\n \n\n●If\nwe fail to comply with environmental requirements, our business, financial condition, operating\nresults and reputation could be adversely affected. \n\n \n\n●Scrutiny\nof sustainability and environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, initiatives could increase\nour costs or otherwise adversely impact our business.\n\n \n\n●Our\nbusiness could be negatively affected as a result of the actions of activist shareholders,\nand such activism could impact the trading value of our securities. \n\n \n\n●We\nmay be required to indemnify our directors and officers in certain circumstances. \n\n \n\n●Our\ncurrent and future cash balances and any investment portfolio we may have may be adversely\naffected by market conditions and interest rates. \n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Being a U.S. Listed Public Company**\n\n** **\n\n●We\ncontinue to incur significant costs as a result of operating as a U.S. listed public company,\nand our management needs to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives. \n\n \n\n●A\nmarket for our securities may not be sustained, which would adversely affect the liquidity\nand price of our securities. \n\n \n\n●If\nwe fail to remediate our material weaknesses or if we fail to maintain an effective system\nof disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce\ntimely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares and Warrants** \n\n** **\n\n●The\nmarket price and trading volume of our ordinary shares and warrants on Nasdaq has been extremely\nvolatile and could decline significantly. \n\n \n\n●If\nour estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions\nthat change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results could fall below expectations\nof securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our share price. \n\n \n\n6\n\n \n\n●We\ndo not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, you may not receive\nany return on investment unless you sell your HUB ordinary shares for a price greater than\nthe price you paid for them. \n\n \n\n●Our\nactual financial results may differ materially from any guidance we may publish from time\nto time.\n\n \n\n●If\nsecurities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about\nus, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our ordinary\nshares or warrants adversely, then the price and trading volume of our ordinary shares could\ndecline.\n\n \n\n●We\nare eligible to be treated as an emerging growth company, as defined in the Securities Act,\nand we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth\ncompanies will make our ordinary shares less attractive to investors because we may rely\non these reduced disclosure requirements.\n\n \n\n●We\nare a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules and\nare subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient\nand less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.\n\n \n\n●We\nmay lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant\nadditional costs and expenses.\n\n \n\n●As\nwe are a “foreign private issuer” and follow certain home country corporate governance\npractices, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of\ncompanies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.\n\n \n\n \n●\nWe are subject to ongoing reporting obligations and potential penalties under the Israeli Securities Law.\n\n \n\n●Our\nArticles provide that unless we consent to an alternate forum, the federal district courts\nof the United States shall be the exclusive forum of resolution of any claims arising under\nthe Securities Act. \n\n \n\n●We\nmay issue additional ordinary shares or other equity securities without seeking approval\nof our shareholders, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market\nprice of our ordinary shares and warrants. \n\n \n\n●Issuances\nof our ordinary shares have, and in the future may continue to significantly dilute the holdings\nof existing shareholders, and future resales of our ordinary shares may cause the market\nprice of our ordinary shares and warrants to drop significantly, even if our business is\ndoing well. \n\n \n\n●If\nwe or any of our subsidiaries are characterized as a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”)\nfor U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders may suffer adverse tax consequences.\n\n \n\n●If\na U.S. Holder is treated as owning at least 10% of our stock, such U.S. Holder may be\nsubject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.\n\n \n\n●As\na result of the Business Combination, the IRS may not agree that we should be treated as\na non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.\n\n \n\n7\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Incorporation and Operations in Israel**\n\n** **\n\n●Conditions\nin Israel could materially and adversely affect our business.\n\n \n\n●As\na public company incorporated in Israel, we may become subject to further compliance obligations\nand market trends or restrictions, which may strain our resources and divert management’s\nattention. \n\n \n\n●Our\nArticles and Israeli law could prevent a takeover that shareholders consider favorable and\ncould also reduce the market price of our ordinary shares. \n\n \n\n●Provisions\nof Israeli law and the Articles may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of HUB,\nprevent a change of control, and negatively impact our share price. \n\n \n\n●We\nmay become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention\nrights by our employees, which could result in litigation and adversely affect our business.\n\n \n\n●Certain\ntax benefits that may be available to us, if obtained, would require us to continue to meet\nvarious conditions and such benefits may be terminated or reduced in the future, which could\nincrease our costs and taxes.\n\n \n\n●It\nmay be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us, our officers and directors and the\nIsraeli experts named in this Annual Report in Israel or the United States, or to assert\nU.S. securities laws claims in Israel or serve process on our officers and directors and\nthese experts.\n\n \n\n●Your\nrights and responsibilities as a shareholder will be governed by Israeli law, which may differ\nin some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. corporations.\n\n \n\n●The\nArticles provide that unless we consent otherwise, the competent courts of Tel Aviv, Israel\nshall be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our shareholders\nunder the Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law.\n\n \n\n●We\nmay be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other\ncharges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results\nof operations and the combined company’s ordinary share price, which could cause the\nprice of our shares to fall and shareholders to lose some or all of their investment. \n\n \n\n**Risk\nFactors Relating to the Evofem Transaction**\n\n** **\n\n●We\nmay not realize any value from the Evofem Notes and Purchase Rights, and the securities we\nissued as consideration for the Evofem Notes and Purchase Rights may prove to have been issued\nfor assets that are ultimately worthless.\n\n \n\n8\n\n \n\n●The\nEvofem Notes are unsecured, deeply subordinated junior obligations, and any cash recovery\nis remote.\n\n \n\n●Our\nability to convert the Evofem Notes and exercise the Purchase Rights is subject to significant\nlimitations although conversion or exercise (and subsequent sale of the resulting shares\nof Evofem common stock) is effectively our principal potential path to receiving value.\n\n \n\n●Even\nif we obtain shares of Evofem common stock, we may be unable to sell them at attractive prices\nor at all.\n\n \n\n●We\nissued a very large number of ordinary shares and Pre-Funded Warrants as consideration in\nthe Evofem Transaction, resulting in substantial dilution to our shareholders, potentially\nin exchange for assets that may yield no return.\n\n \n\n●The\npre-funded warrants issued in the Evofem Transaction cannot be exercised in full unless our\nshareholders approve the exercise and an increase in our authorized share capital, and such\napproval may not be obtained.\n\n \n\n●Future\nsales, or the perception of future sales, of the Consideration Shares could depress the market\nprice of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\n●We\ndo not control Evofem, we have limited rights and limited information as a noteholder, and\nEvofem’s own disclosure and control environment present risks.\n\n \n\n●If\nour investment securities become a significant portion of our total assets, we could be deemed\nan investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which could materially restrict\nour business.\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, Our Internal\nControls, Nasdaq Compliance, Financing and Related Matters**\n\n** **\n\n**Our\nliquidity issues and our defaults under outstanding debt may force us to seek bankruptcy or insolvency court protection, which could\nmaterially adversely affect our business and operations.**\n\n \n\nDue\nto the uncertainty about our ability to obtain sufficient cash to service current and future liabilities, there is a risk that, among\nother things: (i) third parties’ confidence in our ability to develop, market and deliver our solutions could be adversely impacted,\nwhich could impair our ability to execute on our business strategy; (ii) it may become more difficult to retain, attract or replace key\nemployees; (iii) employees could be distracted from performance of their duties or more easily attracted to other career opportunities;\nand (iv) our suppliers, vendors and service providers could renegotiate the terms of our arrangements, terminate their relationship with\nus or require financial assurances from us. As of the date of this Annual Report, two motions to declare us and our subsidiary, Comsec\nLtd., insolvent have been submitted to court, and we are currently in breach of a court-approved settlement with the unsecured creditors\nof Comsec. While we are in the process of seeking to remove these motions and to resolve the breach, there can be no assurance that we\nwill be successful in doing so.\n\n \n\n9\n\n \n\nSeeking\nbankruptcy or insolvency court protection could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations\nand liquidity. For as long as a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding continued, our senior management would be required to spend a significant\namount of time and effort dealing with the reorganization instead of focusing on our business operations. Bankruptcy or insolvency court\nprotection also could make it more difficult to retain management and other key personnel necessary to the success and growth of our\nbusiness. In addition, during the period of time we are involved in such a proceeding, our customers and suppliers might lose confidence\nin our ability to reorganize our business successfully and could seek to establish alternative commercial relationships. We are currently\nevaluating strategic alternatives to address our liquidity issues, but we cannot assure you that any of our strategies will yield sufficient\nfunds to meet our working capital or other liquidity needs, and any such alternative measures may be unsuccessful or may not permit us\nto meet scheduled obligations, which could cause us to default on our obligations. As a result, we may seek bankruptcy or insolvency\ncourt protection to continue our efforts to restructure our business and capital structure and may have to liquidate our assets and may\nreceive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our consolidated financial statements.\n\n \n\n**We\nfinanced our operations and certain capital needs through various debt, convertible debt and equity issuances. Our existing and future\ndebt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition. We are currently in default under certain of our debt obligations.\nIf we are unable to negotiate a solution for the payment of our outstanding debt or otherwise meet our debt obligations, the lenders\ncould foreclose on our assets which could cause us to curtail or cease operations or have an adverse impact on our business, results\nof operations and financial condition and the price of our ordinary shares.**\n\n** **\n\nWe are currently in default\nunder certain of our convertible loans totaling approximately $43 million and under certain of our debt obligations totaling approximately\n$7 million. Upon an event of default under our outstanding debt, the holders of such debt may exercise all rights and remedies available\nunder the terms of the notes or applicable laws.\n\n \n\nWe\nare currently in discussions with certain holders of the outstanding debt regarding possible solutions for the payment of the overdue\namortization payments, including the possible extension of the outstanding obligations and, in some cases, extinguishing the entire loan.\nHowever, there can be no assurance that our discussions will be successful and, if we are not successful in finding an acceptable resolution\nto the existing default or the impending event of default, the holders of the outstanding debt will be able to seek judgement for the\nfull amount due and may seek to foreclose on our assets, which would adversely affect our business or possibly force us to cease operations\nand commence liquidation proceedings. Our debt and financial obligations:\n\n \n\n \n●\nimpair\nour liquidity;\n\n \n\n \n●\nmake\nit more difficult for us to satisfy our other obligations;\n\n \n\n \n●\nrequire\nus to dedicate cash flow to payments on our debt and financial obligations, which reduces the availability of our cash flow to fund\nworking capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements;\n\n \n\n \n●\nimposes\nrestrictions on our ability to incur other indebtedness, grant liens on our assets, and impedes us from obtaining additional financing\nin the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes;\n\n \n\n10\n\n \n\n \n●\nadversely\naffects our ability to enter into strategic transactions, public or private equity offerings, and similar agreements, or requires\nus to obtain the consent to enter into such transactions;\n\n \n\n \n●\nmakes\nus more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business prospects and limits our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes\nin our industry and markets; and\n\n \n\n \n●\nplaces\nus at a competitive disadvantage when compared to our competitors.\n\n \n\nIn\naddition, since January 1, 2026, outstanding debt was converted into approximately 4,591,633 of our ordinary shares (post-reverse splits).\nThe conversion of such substantial amounts of the outstanding debt into ordinary shares has caused significant dilution to the ownership\ninterests of our existing shareholders and may continue to do so in the future. Sales in the public market of our ordinary shares issuable\nupon such conversion has adversely affected prevailing market prices of our ordinary shares and required us to effect multiple reverse\nsplits in order to maintain the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the existence of the outstanding debt may encourage\nshort selling by market participants because the conversion of the outstanding debt would likely depress the price of our ordinary shares.\n\n** **\n\n**All\nof our debt obligations have priority over our ordinary shares with respect to payment in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding\nup, and there can be no assurance that any value would remain for the holders of our ordinary shares in such an event.**\n\n \n\nIf\nwe were to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, our ordinary shares would rank below all debt claims against us. As a result, holders of our\nordinary shares will not be entitled to receive any payment or other distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding\nup until after all of our obligations to our debt holders have been satisfied. Our outstanding convertible debt is secured by, among\nother things, charges on our assets, and if we are unable to repay outstanding borrowings when due, the holders of such debt may have\nthe right to proceed against the collateral securing such indebtedness. As of the date of this Annual Report, two motions have been submitted\nto court to declare us and our subsidiary, Comsec Ltd., insolvent, and we are in default under certain of our outstanding debt. If we\nare forced to seek bankruptcy or insolvency court protection, or if any of our significant obligations are accelerated, holders of our\nordinary shares could lose all or substantially all of their investment in us.\n\n \n\n**We\nare a company with a history of net losses and anticipate that we may incur net losses for the foreseeable future and may never be profitable.\nMoreover, our independent registered public accounting firm’s report, contained herein, includes an explanatory paragraph that\nexpresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, indicating the possibility that we may not be\nable to continue to operate in the future.**\n\n** **\n\nWe\nhave incurred net losses each year since our inception, including net losses (including discontinued operations) of approximately $119.8\nmillion, $39.0 million and $86.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, we\nmay continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. Because\nthe market for our network security solutions and products is rapidly evolving and has not yet reached widespread adoption, it is difficult\nfor us to predict our future results of operations or the limits of our market opportunity. We cannot be certain when, if ever, we will\nbecome profitable. Even if we were to become profitable, we might not be able to sustain such profitability on a quarterly or annual\nbasis.\n\n \n\n11\n\n \n\nWe\ncontinue to generate negative cash flow, requiring constant and immediate cash injections to continue to operate, failing to meet obligations\nas they become due, including financial, suppliers debts and other ordinary course of operations costs. In addition, and as a result\nof our ongoing operating losses, we had outstanding liabilities that could not be met by our revenues, including payments due to our\ndebt holders, vendors and service providers and government duties, which has led to legal action against us and attachments being placed\non certain of our bank accounts. During certain periods in 2024 and 2025, we were unable to make required deposits in employee pension\nand severance funds, which were later paid and settled and payments due for certain periods in 2025 and 2026 were paid in June 2026.\nFurthermore, we have been unable to fully pay required withholding taxes on employee compensation payments and government fees. Certain\nof our subsidiaries also did not make timely tax filings with the ITA for several years. We have reached a settlement agreement with\nthe unsecured creditors of Comsec (although we are currently in breach of the settlement arrangement) and are in the process of removing\ntwo motions that were submitted to court to declare the Company and Comsec as insolvent. We apply the law with respect to all aspects\nof the employment of our employees including with respect to hiring and termination procedures, equal opportunity and anti-discrimination\nlaws and other conditions of employment. In many cases, the terms of employment of our employees exceed the minimum required under Israeli\nlabor laws including, but not limited to, with respect to the minimum wage, vacation days, retirement savings and sick days. We have\nrecently transferred amounts to cover outstanding liabilities and are working to make payments for outstanding liabilities to governmental\ninstitutions such as social security and the Israeli National Insurance Institute. For more information about these motions, see “*Item\n8.A – Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information*” and Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements\nfor the year ended December 31, 2025 included in this Annual Report.\n\n \n\nPrimarily\nbecause of our losses incurred to date and our expected continued future losses, our independent registered public accounting firm has\nincluded in its report an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability\nto continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other factors, the sale of ordinary shares to obtain additional funding to support\nour operations and/or obtaining alternate financing and the ability to cure our outstanding defaults or that these obligations may be\nnegotiated on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Management currently believes that it will be necessary for us to secure additional\nfunds to continue our existing business operations and to fund our obligations. We have raised and will continue to seek to raise additional\nfunds during 2026 through a variety of equity and/or debt financing arrangements; however, there can be no assurance that we will be\nable to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues, reduce cost and/or secure\nadditional financing on acceptable terms, we may be required to, among other things, alter our business strategy, significantly curtail\nor discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms. See “—*We will need\nto raise additional funds in the near future in order to execute our business plan and these funds may not be available to us when we\nneed them. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results\ncould be negatively affected*” below for additional information.\n\n \n\nIf\nwe are unable to obtain funding, refinance or restructure our existing obligations, or otherwise improve our liquidity, we may not be\nable to service our liabilities when they become due. As of the date of this Annual Report, two motions have been submitted to court\nto declare us and our subsidiary, Comsec Ltd., insolvent, and we are currently in breach of a court-approved settlement with the unsecured\ncreditors of Comsec. While we are pursuing the removal of these motions and a resolution of the breach, there can be no assurance of\na successful outcome. If any of our significant obligations are accelerated, we may not be able to repay the obligations that become\nimmediately due and would face severe liquidity constraints. We are currently evaluating strategic alternatives to address our liquidity\nissues, but we cannot assure you that any of our strategies will yield sufficient funds to meet our working capital or other liquidity\nneeds, and any such alternative measures may be unsuccessful or may not permit us to meet scheduled obligations, which could cause us\nto default on our obligations. As a result, we may be forced to seek bankruptcy or insolvency court protection to continue our efforts\nto restructure our business and capital structure and may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which\nthose assets are carried on our consolidated financial statements.\n\n \n\n12\n\n \n\n**Conversions\nof our outstanding convertible debt at substantially discounted prices have caused, and may continue to cause, severe dilution to our\nexisting shareholders and downward pressure on the market price of our ordinary shares.**\n\n \n\nThe\noutstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under our convertible debt may be converted by the holders into ordinary shares\nat conversion prices that are subject to substantial discounts to the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares. As a result, conversions\nhave occurred, and may continue to occur, at conversion prices that bear little or no relationship to the historical or expected fundamental\nvalue of our ordinary shares. In the last 12 months, outstanding debt was converted into a substantial number of our ordinary shares.\nThe conversion of such substantial amounts of debt into ordinary shares has caused significant dilution to the ownership interests of\nour existing shareholders and has caused, and we expect will continue to cause, significant downward pressure on the market price of\nour ordinary shares. For example, between April 20, 2026, the effective date of our 1-for-50 reverse share split, and May 20, 2026, our\noutstanding ordinary shares increased from 1,282,052 to 44,052,835, more than 3,000% in only ten days, as a result of conversions of\noutstanding convertible debt at substantially discounted prices.\n\n \n\nSeparately,\nin order to regain or maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement, we have effected four reverse share splits between\nMarch 2025 and June 2026: a 1-for-10 reverse share split on March 28, 2025, a 1-for-15 reverse share split on January 15, 2026, a 1-for-50\nreverse share split on April 20, 2026 and a 1-for-20 reverse share split on June 5, 2026. While Nasdaq rules do not impose a specific\nlimit on the number of times a listed company may effect a reverse share split to maintain or regain compliance with the Minimum Bid\nPrice Requirement, Nasdaq has stated that a series of reverse share splits may undermine investor confidence in securities listed on\nNasdaq. Accordingly, Nasdaq may determine that it is not in the public interest to maintain our listing, even if we regain compliance\nwith the Minimum Bid Price Requirement as a result of a further reverse share split.\n\n \n\nThe\nexistence of our outstanding convertible debt may also encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of such\ndebt at substantially discounted prices would likely depress the price of our ordinary shares. If there are significant short sales of\nour ordinary shares, the share price of our ordinary shares may decline more than it would in an environment without such activity, which\nmay, in turn, cause other holders of our ordinary shares to sell their shares. Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the\npublic market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our ordinary shares and could impair\nour ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our\nliquidity and financial condition.\n\n \n\n**We\nhave not been able to consistently remain in compliance with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq. The persistence of such failure\ncould result in a delisting of our securities, which could significantly impair the liquidity and market price of our ordinary shares.**\n\n** **\n\nWe\nhave not been able to consistently comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, including requirements related to timely financial\nreporting, minimum bid price, and market value. While we have taken aggressive measures to regain compliance in the past, including multiple\nreverse share splits and appeals to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, there is no guarantee that these or future actions will be successful.\nIf we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum closing\nbid price requirement, or certain value-based requirements, Nasdaq will take steps to delist our securities. Such a delisting would likely\nhave a negative effect on the price of the securities and would impair shareholders’ ability to sell or purchase the securities\nwhen they wish to do so as well as adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the\nfuture.\n\n \n\nOn\nMay 20, 2024, we received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that we were not in compliance\nwith the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Reporting Rule”) as a result of not having timely filed our\nannual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”) with the SEC. Under the Nasdaq rules,\nthe Company had 60 calendar days, or until July 19, 2024, to file the 2023 Annual Report or to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance\nwith the Nasdaq Listing Rules. On July 19, 2024, we submitted a plan of compliance to achieve and sustain compliance with the Reporting\nRule. Following submission of this plan of compliance, Nasdaq determined to grant an exception to enable us to regain compliance with\nthe aforesaid rule, subject to our filing of the 2023 Annual Report with the SEC on or before August 19, 2024. We initially filed the\n2023 Annual Report on August 16, 2024.\n\n \n\n13\n\n \n\nOn\nJuly 16, 2024, we received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq informing us that our ordinary shares have failed to comply with the $1.00\nminimum bid price required for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”)\nbased upon the closing bid price of our ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the deficiency notice.\nThe deficiency notice did not result in the immediate delisting of our ordinary shares from Nasdaq. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing\nRule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were given 180 calendar days from, or until January 13, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price\nRequirement.\n\n \n\nIn\naddition, on August 23, 2024 we received a deficiency notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications department of Nasdaq (the “Staff”)\ninforming us that we are no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3) (the “Total Assets and Total Revenue Requirement”)\nbecause our total assets and total revenue for the most recently completed fiscal year and two of the last three most recently completed\nfiscal years were each below the minimum $50 million threshold for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. In accordance with\nNasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(A), we had 45 calendar days, or until October 7, 2024, to submit a plan to Nasdaq to evidence compliance\nwith Nasdaq’s continued listing criteria (the “Compliance Plan”). On October 9, 2024, we submitted the Compliance Plan\nto Nasdaq. On December 11, 2024, we received another notice from Nasdaq stating that the Compliance Plan did not evidence our ability\nto achieve near term compliance with continued listing requirements or sustain such compliance over an extended period of time. Accordingly,\nwe were notified that our securities would be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market, unless we request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings\nPanel (the “Panel”), which request would stay any further action by the Staff at least until the hearing process concludes.\nOn December 18, 2024, we requested a hearing before the Panel. Our hearing before the Panel was held on February 6, 2025, and on February\n28, 2025 we announced that the Panel has granted the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq. In making its decision,\nfollowing the hearing, the Panel considered the Company’s entire record, including background information about the Company, its\nbusiness description, financial information, market data and compliance history. Based on the information presented to the Panel, including\nthe Company’s success, as of February 7, 2025, in bringing its market value of listed securities above the $35 million minimum,\nthe Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company filing an application to transfer\nto The Nasdaq Capital Market by March 5, 2025, and demonstrating compliance with the minimum bid price and the market value of listed\nsecurities (“MVLS”) requirements by March 31, 2025.\n\n \n\nOn\nFebruary 26, 2025, Nasdaq confirmed to us via email that we had regained compliance with the MVLS Rules. On February 27, 2025, we received\na notice from Nasdaq informing us that Nasdaq granted our request to continue our listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to (i)\non or before March 5, 2025, our filing of an application to transfer our securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market and (ii) on or before\nMarch 31, 2025, our demonstrating compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the continued listing requirement that we maintain\neither a minimum of $2,500,000 in shareholders’ equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income\nfrom continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years, as set\nforth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (“MVLS Rules”). In addition, on March 4, 2025, we filed an application to transfer\nour securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market. On March 28, 2025, we effected a 1-for-10 reverse share split of our ordinary shares in\nan effort to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On June 12, 2025, Nasdaq formally confirmed that we satisfy both\nthe Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the MVLS thresholds. \n\n \n\nOn\nJanuary 15, 2026, we effected a 1-for-15 reverse share split of our ordinary shares in an effort to maintain compliance with the Minimum\nBid Price Requirement, which we subsequently achieved. On April 20, 2026, we effected a 1-for-50 reverse share split of our ordinary\nshares and on June 5, 2026, we effected a 1-for-20 reverse share split of our ordinary shares, both in an effort to maintain compliance\nwith the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Our reliance on multiple reverse share splits (including four such splits between March 2025\nand June 2026) may be perceived negatively by the market and indicates a persistent difficulty in maintaining the minimum requirements\nfor listing. While Nasdaq rules do not impose a specific limit on the number of times a listed company may effect a reverse share split\nto maintain or regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq has stated that a series of reverse share splits may\nundermine investor confidence in securities listed on Nasdaq. Accordingly, Nasdaq may determine that it is not in the public interest\nto maintain our listing, even if we regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement as a result of the reverse share splits\ndescribed above. Future issuances of our ordinary shares, including upon conversions of our outstanding convertible debt at substantially\ndiscounted prices, may put further downward pressure on the market price of our ordinary shares, which could increase the risk of further\nnon-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the risk that Nasdaq may determine that our continued listing is not in the\npublic interest. In addition, the resulting market price of our ordinary shares following any reverse share split may not attract new\ninvestors, including institutional investors, may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors, and may result in our ordinary\nshares being subject to the “penny stock” rules in the future, which would impose additional sales practice requirements\non broker-dealers and could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\n14\n\n \n\nOn\nJanuary 21, 2026, we received a letter from Nasdaq notifying us that, for the period from December 5, 2025 to January 20, 2026, our MVLS\nwas below the MVLS Rule threshold. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or\nuntil July 20, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. If at any time during the Compliance\nPeriod, our MVLS is at least $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide us a written confirmation\nof compliance and this matter will be closed. In the event that we do not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule during the Compliance\nPeriod, Nasdaq will provide written notification that our securities will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification,\nthe Nasdaq rules permit us an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination. We are currently evaluating options to regain compliance\nwith the MVLS Rule.\n\n \n\nAs\ndescribed above, we have used all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and MVLS Rule. However,\nno assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain compliance with the Total Assets and Total Revenue Requirement, the Minimum\nBid Price Requirement, the MVLS Rules, or comply with the other standards that we are required to meet in order to maintain a listing\non such exchange or that Nasdaq will transfer our securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our failure to meet these requirements or\ntransfer our securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.\n\n \n\nOn\nMay 18, 2026, we received a deficiency notice from the Nasdaq stating that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)\nbecause we had not yet filed our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the period ended December 31, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission\n(the “SEC”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, we had 60 calendar days (until July 17, 2026) to submit a plan to regain\ncompliance. If Nasdaq accepted our plan, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 20-F,\nor until November 11, 2026, to regain compliance. With the filing of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, we will have regained compliance\nwith this requirement within the applicable cure period.\n\n \n\nIn\nthe event of a delisting, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us to restore compliance with listing requirements would\nallow our securities to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our securities, prevent our securities\nfrom dropping below the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. Additionally,\nif our securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on OTC Markets, an inter-dealer automated\nquotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of HUB’s securities\nmay be more limited than if it were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange as the liquidity that Nasdaq provides\nwould no longer be available to investors. Shareholders may be unable to sell their securities unless a market can be established or\nsustained, and we could face a lengthy process to re-list the ordinary shares, if at all.\n\n \n\n**Our\nprevious reverse share splits, and any future reverse share splits, may decrease the liquidity of our ordinary shares and have a dilutive\neffect on the ownership of our existing shareholders, and we cannot assure you that any future reverse share split will result in a sustained\nincrease in the market price of our ordinary shares.**\n\n \n\nThe\nliquidity of our ordinary shares may be adversely affected by a reverse share split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding\nfollowing any such reverse share split, especially if the market price of our ordinary shares does not increase as a result of the reverse\nshare split. In addition, a reverse share split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our\nordinary shares, creating the potential for such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater\ndifficulty effecting such sales. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding ordinary shares will proportionally\nincrease the market price of our ordinary shares, we cannot assure you that any reverse share split will increase the market price of\nour ordinary shares by a multiple of the reverse share split ratio, or result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price\nof our ordinary shares. The market price of our ordinary shares will continue to be based, in part, on our performance and other factors\nunrelated to the number of shares outstanding.\n\n \n\n15\n\n \n\nA\nreverse share split also reduces the number of outstanding ordinary shares without reducing the number of authorized but unissued ordinary\nshares, which has the effect of increasing the number of ordinary shares available for issuance. The issuance of additional ordinary\nshares may have a dilutive effect on the ownership of our existing shareholders. The current economic environment in which we operate,\nthe debt we carry, and otherwise volatile equity market conditions could limit our ability to raise new equity capital in the future\non favorable terms or at all. In addition, following any reverse share split, the resulting market price of our ordinary shares may not\nattract new investors, including institutional investors, may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors, and the trading\nliquidity of our ordinary shares may not improve.\n\n \n\n**Our\nordinary shares could be subject to the “penny stock” rules in the future, which would impose additional sales practice requirements\non broker-dealers and could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our ordinary shares.**\n\n \n\nThe\nU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny\nstocks,” generally defined as non-exchange-traded equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain\nexceptions. While our ordinary shares are not currently considered “penny stock” because they are listed on the Nasdaq Capital\nMarket, if our ordinary shares were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and we are unable to maintain a per-share price above\n$5.00 (or otherwise satisfy an applicable exception), our ordinary shares would become “penny stock.”\n\n \n\nThe\npenny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks\nto persons other than those who qualify as “established customers” or “accredited investors.” Among other things,\nbroker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investments in penny stocks, provide a standardized risk\ndisclosure document, current bid and offer quotations, the broker-dealer’s and salesperson’s compensation in the transaction,\nmonthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, a special written determination\nthat the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.\nThese requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for any security that becomes\nsubject to the penny stock rules and may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our ordinary shares, which could severely\nlimit the market price and liquidity of our ordinary shares and may affect the ability of holders to resell our ordinary shares. In addition,\nmany brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks, and most institutional investors will\nnot invest in penny stocks. As a result, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity.\n\n** **\n\n**We\nwill need to raise additional funds in the near future in order to execute our business plan and these funds may not be available to\nus when we need them. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating\nresults could be negatively affected.** \n\n \n\nWe\nrequire additional capital in the future in order to fund our growth strategy or to respond to technological advancements, competitive\ndynamics or technologies, customer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances. We may also\ndetermine to raise equity or debt financing for other reasons. For example, in order to further enhance business relationships with current\nor potential customers or partners, we may issue equity or equity-linked securities to such current or potential customers or partners.\n\n \n\nWe\nmay not be able to timely secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through\nthe issuance of equity or convertible debt or other equity-linked securities, our existing shareholders could experience significant\ndilution. In addition, any debt financing obtained by us in the future, whether in the form of a credit facility or otherwise, could\ninvolve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make\nit more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we are\nunable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support\nour business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In addition, because our decision to issue debt or\nequity in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount,\ntiming, nature or success of our future capital raising efforts.\n\n \n\n16\n\n \n\n**We\nhave identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If our remediation of the material weaknesses is\nnot effective, or we fail to develop and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely\nand accurate financial statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations could be impaired.**\n\n** **\n\nAs\ndescribed below, we appointed a special committee of Independent Directors in 2023 to oversee an internal investigation related to alleged\nmisappropriation of Company funds and other potentially fraudulent actions regarding the use of Company funds by a former senior officer\nof the Company. As such, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December\n31, 2021 relating to deficiencies in the design and operation of the procedures relating to the closing of our financial statements.\nWe continued to identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting through December 31, 2025, which have not\nbeen fully remedied to date. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial\nreporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements\nwill not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.\n\n \n\nThe\nmaterial weaknesses included, but are not limited to:\n\n \n\n \n●\nLack\nof sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience in accounting for complex or non-routine\ntransactions;\n\n \n\n \n●\nThe\nfact that our policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of our accounting and reporting functions\nwere either not designed, not properly put in place or not operating effectively;\n\n \n\n \n●\nDeficiencies\nin the design and operations of the procedures relating to the timely closing of financial books at the quarter and fiscal year end;\n\n \n\n \n●\nInsufficient\noversight of certain signatory rights relating to our financial accounts;\n\n \n\n \n●\nIneffective\ndesign and implementation of Information Technology General Controls including improperly designed controls pertaining to change\nmanagement and user access rights over systems that are critical to our system of financial reporting; and\n\n \n\n \n●\nIncomplete\nsegregation of duties in certain types of transactions and processes (excluding monetary transactions, where there is a clear distinction\nbetween the preparer and the signer vis-a-vis financial institutions).\n\n \n\nDuring\nthe fourth quarter of 2024 and through 2025, we undertook certain corrective actions in order to address and remediate these material\nweaknesses including (i) the recruitment of additional financial personnel in our finance department with an appropriate level of knowledge\nand experience; (ii) the establishment of risk and control matrices and implemented controls over material business processes; (iii)\nthe design of operation of procedures related to timely closing of financial books, including the assignment of clear responsibilities,\ndeadlines and appropriate segregation of duties; (iv) the formalization of signatory rights; and (v) establishment of controls over the\nchange management process and permissions to the financial system. However, since the implementation of these controls only commenced\nin the fourth quarter of 2024, these controls were not in place for a sufficient period of time to allow management to conclude they\nwere operating effectively throughout a significant portion of the year. Accordingly, management concluded that internal control over\nfinancial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to these material weaknesses.\n\n \n\nUnder\nthe Companies Law, the board of directors is required to appoint an internal auditor recommended by the audit committee. Our current\ninternal auditor is Joseph Ginossar of Fahn Kanne, an affiliate of Grant Thornton International. The role of the internal auditor is\nto examine, among other things, whether the Company’s actions comply with applicable law and proper business procedures. The internal\nauditor may not be an interested party, a director or an officer of the Company, or a relative of any of the foregoing, nor may the internal\nauditor be our independent accountant or a representative thereof.\n\n \n\n17\n\n \n\nFurther,\nthere can be no guarantee that the Internal Investigation (as defined below) and subsequent inquiries revealed all instances of inaccurate\ndisclosure or other deficiencies, or that other existing or past inaccuracies or deficiencies will not be revealed in the future. Our\nfailure to correct these deficiencies or our failure to discover and address any other deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our\nfinancial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory\nfilings on a timely basis. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading\nprice of our ordinary shares and warrants, may be materially adversely affected.\n\n \n\nWe\ncannot assure you the measures we have been taking or that we take in the future will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses\nor that they will prevent future material weaknesses. Additional material weaknesses or failure to maintain effective internal control\nover financial reporting could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations as a public company and may result in a restatement\nof our financial statements for prior periods. In addition, these deficiencies could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported\nfinancial information, limiting our access to capital markets, adversely affecting our operating results and leading to declines in the\ntrading price of our ordinary shares and warrants.\n\n \n\nOur\nindependent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting\nuntil after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered\npublic accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event our internal controls over financial reporting do not operate\neffectively. If we are not able to complete our initial assessment of our internal controls and otherwise implement the requirements\nof Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) in a timely manner or with adequate compliance,\nour independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial\nreporting. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the\nresults of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the\neffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in its periodic reports\nthat are filed with the SEC. If we are unable to remediate our existing material weaknesses or identify additional material weaknesses\nand are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting\nis effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our\ninternal control over financial reporting once we are no longer an emerging growth company, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy\nand completeness of the financial reports and the market price of our ordinary shares and warrants could be negatively affected, and\nwe could become subject to investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial\nand management resources. For more information regarding these remedial actions and enhancement measures, see “Item 15. Controls\nand Procedures—Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.”\n\n \n\n**Our\npreviously disclosed internal investigation was initiated to review allegations of misappropriation of Company funds and other potential\nfraudulent actions regarding the use of Company funds by a former senior officer of the Company. In January 2026, the Israel Securities\nAuthority concluded its related investigation and transferred the investigation file to the Tel Aviv District Attorney’s Office\n(Taxation and Economic Crimes) for a resolution, the status of which remains uncertain. We are unable to predict the effectiveness of\nany remediation measures recommended by the Special Committee. In addition, we have incurred and may continue to incur substantial\ncosts in connection with the internal investigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition\nand results of operations.**\n\n* *\n\nIn\n2023, our board of directors appointed a Special Committee of Independent Directors (the “Special Committee”) to oversee\nan internal investigation (the “Internal Investigation”) in order to review certain allegations of misappropriation of Company\nfunds and other potential fraudulent actions regarding the use of Company funds by a former senior officer of ours. During the course\nof the Internal Investigation, the Special Committee, together with its outside advisers, believed that it found sufficient evidence\nto support a determination that Mr. Eyal Moshe, our former Chief Executive Officer and President of U.S. operations and former member\nof the board of directors, and Ms. Ayelet Bitan, our former Chief of Staff and wife of Mr. Moshe, misappropriated (from a Company bank\naccount over which Mr. Moshe had sole signatory rights) a total of approximately NIS 2 million (approximately $582,000) for personal\nuse. Further, in certain instances, evidence reviewed by the Special Committee demonstrated that Mr. Moshe authorized payments to contractors\nwithout either (i) proper documentation and signatory approval; or (ii) required budget and expense reports. The employment of Mr. Moshe\nwas terminated for cause, effective July 24, 2023, and Mr. Moshe resigned from our board on August 15, 2023. Additionally, we commenced\ntwo legal actions in Israel against Ms. Bitan and against Mr. Moshe to dispute their requests for severance payments in accordance with\nIsraeli law in connection with these determinations by the Special Committee.\n\n \n\n18\n\n \n\nAdditionally,\nthe Special Committee believed that it found sufficient evidence to determine that, one of our controllers, with the permission of Mr.\nMoshe, used Company credit cards for personal use in the amount of approximately NIS 400,000 (approximately $110,000). These personal\nexpenses were neither factored into the controller’s payroll nor properly documented in our financial books and records. Additionally,\nMr. Moshe approved a bonus of NIS 250,000 to the controller. However, this bonus was not paid to the controller but instead was paid\nto a third party at the controller’s direction. Prior to the commencement of legal proceedings, we reached a settlement with the\ncontroller whereby the amount of the bonus in the amount of NIS 250,000 plus VAT was repaid to us and all his options and RSUs were cancelled.\n\n \n\nSince\nthe completion of the Internal Investigation, we performed a restructuring of our top management and executive officers, in addition\nto enacting and enforcing tougher anti-fraud and anti-corruption policies, oversight, reviews and checks. All of the management and executive\nofficers that served in the Company during the time when the misappropriation occurred have since left the Company and been replaced.\nTo the best of the Company’s knowledge, the past misappropriation of funds has no current or further impact on the Company, its\nfinances and its business, and is not expected to affect the Company or its expected growth in the future.\n\n \n\nThese\nevents regarding the Special Committee and Internal Investigation are the subject of regulatory review and expose us and our directors\nand officers to possible investigations and possible enforcement actions by regulators both in Israel and the United States, including\nthe Israel Securities Authority (“ISA”), Israel Tax Authority, SEC, Nasdaq and/or the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”).\nIn September 2024, the ISA and the Israel Tax Authority conducted a search of HUB’s office in the context of investigating former\nand current officers in connection with suspicions regarding violations of securities, penal and tax laws. To HUB’s best knowledge,\nthe suspicions are related, among other things, to the subject matter of the Internal Investigation. In addition, in April 2025,\ninvestigators from the Israeli Tax Authority visited the offices of the Company. To HUB’s best knowledge, this visit concerned\ndevelopments in the investigation related to the actions of a former Financial Controller of the Company, which were also addressed in\nthe Internal Investigation. According to a letter provided to the Company in January 2026 by the ISA, the ISA’s investigation has\nbeen concluded, and the investigation file concerning the Company has been transferred to the Tel Aviv District Attorney’s Office\n(Taxation and Economic Crimes) for a resolution, the status of which remains uncertain. These events may also expose the Company and\nits directors and officers to possible investigations or enforcement actions by other regulators, including the SEC, Nasdaq and/or the\nDOJ. We have provided certain information and documentation to certain regulatory authorities and are prepared to respond to any regulatory\ninquiry it may receive. Our management and our board of directors do not currently believe there are any impacts on our financial statements.\nIf we were to be subject to an investigation or enforcement action from a regulatory agency it could have a material adverse effect on\nour business, financial position and results of operations.\n\n \n\nIf\nany federal authorities were to ultimately determine that we violated any laws or regulations, we may be exposed to a broad range of\ncivil and criminal sanctions including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, disgorgement, fines, penalties, modifications to business\npractices including the termination or modification of existing business relationships, the imposition of compliance programs and the\nretention of a monitor to oversee future compliance by us, which could be costly and burdensome to our management, and could adversely\nimpact our business, prospects, reputation, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows. Even if an inquiry or\ninvestigation does not result in any adverse determinations, it potentially could create negative publicity and give rise to third-party\nlitigation or other actions, which could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations\nand cash flows.\n\n \n\nThe\nSpecial Committee is neither a civil nor a criminal court of law and no court has yet substantiated the findings of the Special Committee.\nIt is possible that a court of law may find differently than the Special Committee has, which could expose us to counterclaims from Mr.\nMoshe, Ms. Bitan or others. Additionally, while we have informed Mr. Moshe that he has been summarily dismissed as an employee, Mr. Moshe\nresigned from our board of directors.\n\n \n\n19\n\n \n\nWe\nhave commenced legal actions in Israel against Ms. Bitan and against Mr. Moshe to dispute their requests for severance payments in accordance\nwith Israeli law. Two actions were undertaken against Ms. Bitan. In the initial action, the court granted an injunction preventing her\nfrom accessing her accumulated severance package. In the second action, it was requested that the court order that these sums be returned\nto the Company. In the action against Mr. Moshe, the court was requested to grant an injunction against accessing the accumulated severance\npackage and to order the return of the sums to us. These actions are time limited, so the initial action against Ms. Bitan was initiated\nprior to the completion of the Special Committee Report and as such was based upon the limited information known at that time. On September\n7, 2025, the parties entered into a court approved settlement agreement, pursuant to which the parties provided a mutual release of claims\nand we released all severance payment contributions to Mr. Moshe and Ms. Bitan and paid Ms. Bitan a retirement grant of NIS 250,000.\nFor further details, see Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in this\nAnnual Report.\n\n \n\nThere\ncan be no assurance that others will not bring forth any claims or commence any litigation against us in connection with Mr. Moshe’s\ndismissal, his resignation from the board, our challenging Ms. Bitan’s severance payments or the publication of the Special Committee’s\nfindings from the Internal Investigation.\n\n \n\nFurther,\nwe incurred substantial costs and diverted management resources in connection with the Internal Investigation, and the Internal Investigation\nitself caused us to fail to timely file our Annual Reports on Form 20-F for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 with the\nSEC. We may also incur material costs associated with our indemnification arrangements with our current and former directors and certain\nof our officers, as well as other indemnitees related to lawsuits or regulatory proceedings that have arisen and may arise in the future\nfrom the Internal Investigation.\n\n \n\nOur\nreported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting subjects us to additional litigation and regulatory examinations,\ninvestigations, proceedings or court orders, including additional cease and desist orders, the suspension of trading of our securities,\ndelisting of our securities, the assessment of civil monetary penalties and other equitable remedies. In addition, the remediation of\nthe material weaknesses (set forth below in Item 15. “Controls and Procedures”) will require us to incur additional costs\nand to divert management resources in the upcoming periods, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of\noperations, and growth prospects.\n\n**  **\n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Business and Industry**\n\n** **\n\n**An\ninability to attract new customers, retain existing customers and sell additional services to customers could adversely impact our revenue\nand results of operations.**\n\n** **\n\nCurrently,\nwe generate the majority of our revenues from our Professional Services division, which, among other services, enables enterprise clients\nto identify, manage and respond to cybersecurity threats with comprehensive, bundled solutions that provide a crucial layer of protection\nfor organizations as well as a means to manage associated risk and compliance. More recently, we have focused on providing secured data\nfabric based solutions to the financial services sector.\n\n \n\nWe\nwere not successful in penetrating the secured data fabric market and our ability to maintain or increase our revenues and achieve profitability\nmay be impacted by a number of factors, including our ability to attract new customers, retain existing customers and sell our solutions\nand professional services to additional customers. We may incur higher customer acquisition or retention costs as we seek to grow our\ncustomer base and expand our markets. Moreover, to the extent we are unable to retain and sell additional services to existing customers,\nincluding as part of our initiative to address existing accounts that have substandard margins, our revenue and results of operations\nmay decrease. The loss of business from any of our major customers, whether by the cancellation of existing contracts, the failure to\nobtain renewal of these contracts or win new business or lower overall demand for our services, could materially and adversely impact\nour revenue and results of operations.\n\n \n\n20\n\n \n\n**Actions\nthat we have taken or may take to reduce costs and rebalance investments may not result in anticipated savings or operational efficiencies,\ncould result in total costs and expenses that are greater than expected, and could disrupt our business.**\n\n \n\nWe\nhave in the past and may again implement a plan to reduce our workforce in order to become more efficient in our costs and to optimize\nfacilities-related costs. Such plans are meant to improve operational efficiencies and align our investments more closely with our strategic\npriorities. We may incur additional expenses associated with the reduction in our workforce not contemplated by such plans, such as employment\nlitigation costs, which may have an impact on other areas of our liabilities and obligations and contribute to losses in future periods.\nWe may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits and savings from such plans due to unforeseen difficulties, delays or\nunexpected costs. If we are unable to realize the expected operational efficiencies and cost savings, our operating results and financial\ncondition would be adversely affected.\n\n \n\nFurthermore,\nongoing implementation of such plans and reductions in force may be disruptive to our operations. For example, a workforce reduction\ncould result in attrition beyond planned staff reductions, increased difficulties in our day-to-day operations and reduced employee morale.\nIf employees who were not affected by the few rounds of reduction in force seek alternative employment, we could incur unplanned additional\nexpense to ensure adequate resourcing and fail to attract and retain qualified management, sales and marketing personnel who are critical\nto our business. Our failure to do so could harm our business and our future performance.\n\n \n\n**Our\nlimited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects and increases the risk of your investment.**\n\n \n\nSignificant\nportions of our growth have been through mergers and acquisitions. As a result, there is limited information that investors can use in\nevaluating our business, strategy, operating plan, results, and prospects. We currently derive most of our revenues from our Professional\nServices division. We intended to derive most of our revenues from our Products and Technology division, including our secured data fabric\nand confidential computing protection solutions, however, we only succeeded in deriving a small portion of our revenues from technology\nand product-oriented solutions, including our secured data fabric and confidential computing solution and have since impaired and shut\ndown that business. In addition, we have encountered and expect to continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced\nby growing companies in rapidly evolving industries. If we do not address these risks successfully, or if the assumptions we use to plan\nand operate our business are incorrect or change, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations, and our business,\nfinancial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.\n\n** **\n\n**Competition\nin the market for technology solutions, in general, is intense. If we are unable to compete effectively, our business, financial condition\nand results of operations could be harmed.** \n\n \n\nThe\nmarkets in which we operate are characterized by intense competition, constant innovation, rapid adoption of different technological\nsolutions and services, and evolving security threats. We compete with a multitude of companies that offer a broad array of network security\nproducts and that employ different approaches and delivery models to address these evolving threats.\n\n \n\nThe\ncybersecurity professional services markets are experiencing heightened competition driven by rapid technological advancements, evolving\nregulatory landscapes, and increasing client demands. Major players like IBM, Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, and SAS Institute are expanding\ntheir offerings through strategic acquisitions and the integration of AI and machine learning to provide comprehensive, cloud-based GRC\nsolutions. This technological innovation enables more efficient risk management and compliance processes, allowing organizations to automate\nregulatory adherence reports and detect threats more effectively. Simultaneously, the cybersecurity consulting sector is witnessing a\nshift as clients may favor technology firms over traditional consultancies. This trend underscores the importance for traditional firms\nto demonstrate their unique value propositions.\n\n \n\n21\n\n \n\nIn\naddition, IT security spending is spread across a wide variety of solutions and strategies, including, for example, endpoint, network\nand cloud security, vulnerability management and identity and access management. Organizations continually evaluate their security priorities\nand investments and may allocate their IT security budgets to other solutions and strategies and may not adopt or expand use of our solutions.\nAccordingly, we may also compete for budgetary reasons with additional vendors that offer threat protection solutions in adjacent or\ncomplementary markets to ours.\n\n \n\nMost\nof our competitors have greater financial, personnel and other resources than we have, which may limit our ability to effectively compete\nwith them. We also expect to continue to face additional competition as new participants enter the market or extend their portfolios\ninto related technologies. Current and future participants may also be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and\nchanges in customer demands and to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. Larger\ncompanies with substantial resources, brand recognition and sales channels may form alliances with or acquire competing security solutions\nand emerge as significant competitors.\n\n \n\nCompetition\nmay result in lower prices or reduced demand for our solutions and a corresponding reduction in our ability to recover costs, which may\nimpair our ability to achieve, maintain and increase profitability. Furthermore, the dynamic market environment poses a challenge in\npredicting market trends and expected growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to implement our business strategy in a manner\nthat will allow us to be competitive. If any of our competitors offer products or services that are more competitive than ours, we could\nlose market share and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected as a result.\n\n \n\n**Our\nability to introduce new products, features, integrations and enhancements is dependent on adequate research and development resources.** \n\n \n\nTo\nremain competitive, we must maintain adequate research and development resources, such as the appropriate personnel and development technology,\nto meet the demands of the market. If we are unable to offer high level and new services in our Professional Services division, develop\nnew products, features, integrations and enhancements internally due to certain constraints, such as employee turnover, a lack of management\nability or a lack of other research and development resources, our business may be harmed. Moreover, research and development projects\ncan be technically challenging and expensive. The nature of these research and development cycles may cause us to experience delays between\nthe time we incur expenses associated with research and development and the time we are able to offer compelling features, integrations\nand enhancements and generate revenue, if any, from such investment. If we expend a significant amount of resources on research and development\nand our efforts do not lead to the successful introduction or competitive improvement of products, features, integrations and enhancements,\nit could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, we are in the process of developing our “single\nchip” solution, which is a complicated process and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully release this solution\nas planned. In addition, our failure to maintain adequate research and development resources or to compete effectively with the research\nand development programs of our competitors may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.\n\n \n\n**If\nwe are unable to acquire large enterprise customers or sell additional products and services to our existing customers, our future revenues\nand operating results will be harmed.** \n\n \n\nOur\nsuccess and continued growth will depend in part on our ability to sell our solutions to existing customers. If we are unable to succeed\nin such efforts, we will likely be unable to generate revenue growth at desired or projected rates.\n\n \n\nIn\naddition, competition in the industry may lead us to acquire fewer new customers or result in our providing more favorable commercial\nterms to new or existing customers. Macro-economic effects may also affect our ability to maintain our customer base and expand it.\n\n \n\n22\n\n \n\nAdditional\nfactors that impact our ability to acquire new customers or sell additional products and services to our existing customers include the\nconsumption of their past purchases, a reduction in the perceived need for network security, the size of our prospective and existing\ncustomers’ IT budgets, the utility and efficacy of our solution offerings, whether proven or perceived, changes in our pricing\nmodels, and general economic conditions. These factors may have a material negative impact on future revenues and operating results.\n\n \n\n**We\ncurrently have and target many customers that are large corporations and government entities, which are subject to a number of challenges\nand risks, such as increased competitive pressures, administrative delays and additional approval requirements.** \n\n \n\nMany\nof our existing and potential customers are large corporations and government agencies who store sensitive data. Selling to large corporations\nand government entities can be highly competitive, expensive and time consuming, often requiring significant upfront time and expense\nwithout any assurance that HUB will complete a sale. Large enterprise customers frequently demand terms of sale which are less favorable\nthan the prevailing market terms. In addition, government demand and payment for our products and services may be impacted by public\nsector budgetary cycles and funding authorizations, funding reductions, government shutdowns or delays, such that any of these occurrences\nmay adversely affect public sector demand for our products. Finally, some large corporations and government entities require products\nsuch as ours to be certified by industry-approved security agencies or regulatory bodies that govern them as a pre-condition of purchasing\nthem. We cannot be certain that any certificate or regulatory approval will be granted or that we would be able to satisfy the technological\nand other requirements to maintain certifications or regulatory approvals. The loss of any of our existing certificates or regulatory\napprovals, or the failure to obtain new ones, could result in the imposition of various penalties, reputational harm, loss of existing\ncustomers or could deter new and existing customers from purchasing our solutions, any of which could adversely affect our business,\noperating results or financial condition.\n\n** **\n\n**We\nhave not fully succeeded to execute, integrate or realize the benefits expected from acquisitions, which may require significant management\nattention, disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations.** \n\n \n\nAs\npart of our business strategy and in order to remain competitive, we continually evaluate acquiring or making investments in complementary\ncompanies, products or technologies. We may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates or complete such acquisitions on favorable\nterms. We may incur significant expenses, divert employee and management time and attention from other business-related tasks and our\norganic strategy and incur other unanticipated complications while engaging with potential target companies where no transaction is eventually\ncompleted.\n\n \n\nIf\nwe do complete acquisitions, it may not ultimately strengthen our competitive position or achieve our goals or expected growth, and any\nacquisitions we complete could be viewed negatively by our customers or experience unexpected competition from market participants. Any\nintegration process may require significant time and resources. We may not be able to manage the process successfully and may experience\na decline in our profitability as we incur expenses prior to fully realizing the benefits of the acquisition. We acquired a number of\ncompanies and certain assets within the past three years and greatly increased our number of employees and fields of operation. The smooth\nintegration into our company of the operations of these companies and of their employees is an important part of our sales and growth\nplan. The staff of the first company that was acquired, A.L.D. Advanced Logistics Development Ltd., is the foundation upon which we built\nour Professional Services division, and the strengths of the second acquired company, Comsec Ltd. and the third one Qpoint Technologies\nLtd. (“QPoint”), in marketing, support, sales and cybersecurity consulting are the foundation of our sales efforts. Finally,\nwe believed that our January 2025 acquisition of BST, the fourth company, had the potential to solidify our position as a leading provider\nof secured data fabric solutions in the future, offering a critical safeguard for banks, financial institutions and other industries\nnavigating an increasingly complex regulatory and cybersecurity environment, however this did not ultimately succeed. We believed that\nthe above mentioned acquisitions would give us direct access to a large number of blue-chip customers around the world, which would have\nsaved us a significant amount of time that would be needed to penetrate these markets organically. Our failure to smoothly integrate\nthe operations and employees of these companies into our goals and plans will and has reduced our prospects for growth. There is no assurance\nthat the acquired companies, including their personnel and operations, can be successfully integrated with our existing employees and\noperations.\n\n \n\n23\n\n \n\nWe\ncould also expend significant cash and incur acquisition-related costs and other unanticipated liabilities associated with the acquisition,\nthe product or the technology, such as contractual obligations, potential security vulnerabilities of the acquired company and our products\nand services and potential intellectual property infringement. For example, during 2023, one of Comsec’s subsidiaries, Comsec Distribution,\nhad financial, operational and commercial difficulties, cessation of sales starting July 2023, layoffs and departures of employees so\nthat as of December 31, 2023, there were no business activities in Comsec Distribution. In addition, we acquired assets of Legacy Technologies\nGmbH (“Legacy”), a European cyber firm, however we have yet to recognize any revenues or acquire new customers from the Legacy\nassets and it remains extremely uncertain as to when, if at all, we may be able to do so. In fiscal year 2022 we recorded an impairment\nloss of $8.7 million for the assets acquired from Legacy. Certain subsidiaries of BST were classified as “held for sale”\nand subsequently sold to third parties during 2025. We have not been successful in achieving the strategic plans we had for the secured\ndata fabric business due to financial, development and other challenges, and as a result, as of December 31, 2025, we recorded a full\nimpairment on the technology asset acquired in the BST acquisition. During June 2026 we ceased BST’s operations, terminated BST’s\nmain commercial contract and terminated the employees of this business. In addition, any acquired technology or product may not comply\nwith legal or regulatory requirements and may expose us to regulatory risk and require us to make additional investments to make them\ncompliant.\n\n \n\nWe\nmay not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition\ntransaction, including accounting charges and tax liabilities. We could become subject to legal claims following an acquisition or fail\nto accurately forecast the potential impact of any claims. Any of these issues could have a material adverse impact on our business and\nresults of operations.\n\n \n\n**The\nmarket for our solutions may not continue to grow.** \n\n \n\nContinued\ngrowth of the industries in which we compete will depend, to a great extent, upon:\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\nadoption of data security measures for data encryption and data loss-prevention technologies;\n\n \n\n \n●\ncontinued\naccess to mobile application program interface, applications and application stores;\n\n \n\n \n●\nexpansion\nof government regulation of the internet and governmental and non-governmental requirements and standards with respect to data security\nand privacy;\n\n \n\n \n●\ngeneral\neconomic conditions in the markets in which we and our customers operate;\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\ncontinued expansion of internet usage and the number of organizations that allow for remote working;\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\ncontinued adoption of “cloud” infrastructure by organizations;\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\nability of the infrastructures implemented by organizations to support an increasing number of users and services;\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\ncontinued development of new and improved services for implementation across the internet and between the internet and intranets;\nand\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\ncontinued media attention on penetration of supposedly secure networks by cyber attackers and other malicious intruders.\n\n \n\nA\nfailure or slowdown in one or more of the trends listed above may delay the purchase by large organizations of network security equipment\nand may reduce demand for our products.\n\n \n\n24\n\n \n\n**Our\noperating results may fluctuate significantly and could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors due to seasonality\nand other factors, some of which are beyond our control, resulting in a decline in our stock price.** \n\n** **\n\nOur\nresults of operations have fluctuated in the past and may vary significantly in the future. As such, historical comparisons of our operating\nresults may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results of any fiscal year should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.\nOur financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control and may not fully reflect\nthe underlying performance of our business. These fluctuations could adversely affect our ability to meet expectations or those of securities\nanalysts or investors. If we do not meet these expectations for any period, the value of our business and our securities, or those of\nthe combined company, could decline significantly. Factors that may cause these quarterly fluctuations include, without limitation, those\nlisted below:\n\n \n\n \n●\nThe\ntiming of revenues generated and/or recognizable in any period;\n\n \n\n \n●\nPricing\nchanges we may adopt to drive market adoption or in response to competitive pressure;\n\n \n\n \n●\nLoss\nof customers, our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers;\n\n \n\n \n●\nOur\nability to develop, introduce and sell services and products in a timely manner that meet customer requirements;\n\n \n\n \n●\nDisruptions\nin our sales efforts or termination of our relationship with suppliers or subcontractors;\n\n \n\n \n●\nDelays\nin customers’ purchasing cycles or deferments of customers’ purchases in anticipation of new services or updates from\nus or our competitors;\n\n  \n\n \n●\nFluctuations\nin demand pressures for our products;\n\n \n\n \n●\nThe\ntiming and rate of broader market adoption of our solutions;\n\n \n\n \n●\nAny\nchange in the competitive dynamics of our markets, including consolidation of competitors, regulatory developments and new market\nentrants;\n\n \n\n \n●\nAdverse\nlitigation, judgments, settlements or other litigation-related costs, or claims that may give rise to such costs; and\n\n \n\n \n●\nGeneral\neconomic, industry and market conditions, including trade disputes.\n\n \n\n**Certain\nmembers of our management team have limited experience managing a U.S. listed publicly traded company.** \n\n \n\nSome\nof our management team has limited experience managing a U.S. listed publicly traded company, interacting with U.S. public company investors\nand complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to U.S. listed public companies. Our management team may not successfully\nor efficiently manage these roles and responsibilities. As a U.S. listed public company, we are subject to significant regulatory oversight\nand reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These obligations\nand constituents require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management\nof our business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.\n\n \n\n25\n\n \n\n**Due\nto our limited resources, we may be forced to focus on a limited number of commercial opportunities which may force us to pass on opportunities\nthat could have a greater chance of success.**\n\n \n\nDue\nto our current cash situation and our overall limited resources and capabilities, we will have to decide to focus on pursuing a limited\nnumber of commercial opportunities. As a result, we may forego or delay pursuit of certain business opportunities that later prove to\nhave greater commercial potential. Our resource allocation decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on profitable market opportunities.\nAdditionally, our spending on research and development programs may not yield any commercially viable products. If we make incorrect\ndeterminations regarding the viability or market potential of any or all of our products and offerings or misread trends in the cybersecurity\nindustry, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.\n\n \n\n**Uncertainties\nrelated to our recent management changes may adversely affect our business, strategy and financial results.**\n\n** **\n\nOn\nMarch 31, 2026, Noah Hershcoviz resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors, effective\nimmediately. Renah Persofsky, our Chairperson of the Board, has taken on a greater role in HUB’s management while we seek a replacement\nfor Mr. Hershcoviz. During May and June of 2026, four more of our executive management departed: Shai Schiller (Head of Strategy), Nachman\nGeva (Chief Technology Officer), Paul Parisi (Chief Revenue Officer) and John Rogers (President of the Americas Region).\n\n \n\nAs\na result of these frequent management transitions, combined with the current challenges facing our businesses, we are subject to significant\nuncertainties regarding our future business strategy and direction. These uncertainties may cause or result in disruptions to our business\nand distractions to our employees and management; difficulty in recruiting, hiring, motivating, and retaining talented and skilled personnel,\nincluding current members of management; and difficulty in negotiating, maintaining, or consummating business or strategic relationships\nor transactions.\n\n \n\nFurthermore,\nthe search for a permanent CEO may be prolonged, and we cannot assure you that the selected person will effectively transition into the\nrole or ultimately be successful. During this search and transition period, there may continue to be uncertainties and concerns for employees\nand management, as well as for current and potential customers, other business partners and shareholders. Any of these factors could\nhave a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations or reputation, and could cause\nthe market value of our shares and/or debt securities to decline.\n\n** **\n\n**Our\nbusiness relies on the performance of, and we face stark competition for, highly skilled personnel, including our management and other\nkey employees, and the loss of one or more of such personnel or of a significant number of our team members or the inability to attract\nand retain executives and qualified employees we need to support our operations and growth, could harm our business.** \n\n \n\nOur\nsuccess and future growth depend upon the continued services of our management team and other key employees, including in companies we\nacquired. Our leadership team are critical to our overall management, as well as the continued development of our solutions, culture\nand strategic direction. From time to time, there may be changes in our management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives\nand key employees, which could disrupt our business. Though sometimes new management can contribute and provide a new beneficial approach,\nwe are currently conducting a global search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer and we have recently made significant changes to\nour executive management team in an effort to reduce costs and increase efficiency. We are also dependent on the continued service of\nour existing engineering team because of the complexity of our product and solutions. We may terminate any employee’s employment\nat any time, with or without cause, and any employee may resign at any time, with or without cause, subject only to the notice periods\nprescribed by their respective agreements if done without cause. The loss of one or more members of our senior management or key employees\ncould harm our business, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements. There is no assurance that we will be able to retain the\nservices of any members of our senior management or key employees.\n\n \n\n26\n\n \n\nIn\naddition, we must attract and retain new highly qualified personnel in order to execute our growth plan. We have had difficulty quickly\nfilling certain open positions in the past and expect to have significant future hiring needs. Competition is intense, particularly in\nIsrael and other areas in which we have offices, for engineers experienced in designing and developing IT products, research and development\nspecialists, providers of professional services in the cyber field and experienced sales professionals. In order to continue to access\ntop talent, we may continue to grow our footprint of office locations, which may add to the complexity and costs of our business operations.\nFrom time to time, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate\nqualifications. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have and we may\nnot succeed in recruiting additional experienced or professional personnel, retaining personnel or effectively replacing current personnel\nwho may depart with qualified or effective successors. If we hire employees from competitors or other companies, their former employers\nmay attempt to assert that these employees, or we, have breached their legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources.\nIn addition, prospective and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment.\nIf the perceived value of our equity awards declines, experiences significant volatility, such that prospective employees believe there\nis limited upside to the value of our equity awards, it may adversely affect our ability to offer competitive compensation packages and\nthereby adversely impact our ability to recruit and retain key employees. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate\nour current personnel, our business and future growth prospects would be harmed. In addition, as a result of the intense competition\nfor highly qualified personnel, the high-tech industry has also experienced and may continue to experience significant wage inflation.\nAccordingly, our efforts to attract, retain and develop personnel may also result in significant additional expenses, which could adversely\naffect our profitability.\n\n \n\nWe\nenter into non-competition agreements with our employees in certain jurisdictions. These agreements prohibit our employees from competing\nwith us or working for our competitors for a limited period. We may be unable to enforce these agreements under the laws of the jurisdictions\nin which those employees work, and it may be difficult for us to restrict our competitors from benefiting from the expertise our former\nemployees developed while working for us. For example, Israeli labor courts have required employers seeking to enforce non-compete undertakings\nof a former employee to demonstrate that the competitive activities of the former employee will harm one of a limited number of material\ninterests of the employer that have been recognized by the courts, such as the protection of a company’s trade secrets or other\nintellectual property.\n\n \n\n**Prolonged\neconomic uncertainties or downturns in certain regions or industries could materially adversely affect our business.** \n\n \n\nOur\nbusiness depends on our current and prospective customers’ ability and willingness to invest money in network security, which in\nturn is dependent upon their overall economic health. Negative economic conditions in the global economy or certain regions, including\nconditions resulting from financial and credit market fluctuations, exchange rate fluctuations, or inflation, could cause a decrease\nin corporate spending on network security solutions and services. Other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending, including\npolitical unrest, public health crises, terrorist attacks, armed conflicts (such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine) and natural\ndisasters could also negatively affect our customers’ spending on our solutions and services. A significant portion of our business\noperations are concentrated in core geographic areas such as the Middle East and Europe, and if they were to experience economic downturns,\nthis could severely affect our business operations. In addition, some of our business operations depend on emerging markets that are\nless resilient to fluctuations in the global economy. In 2025, we generated $28.1 million of our revenues from Israel, $2.9 million of\nour revenues from Europe and less than $1 million from the rest of the world.\n\n \n\nIn\naddition, a significant portion of our revenue is generated from customers in the financial services industry, including banking and\ninsurance. Negative economic conditions may cause customers generally, and in that industry in particular, to reduce their IT spending.\nCustomers may delay or cancel IT projects perceived to be discretionary, choose to focus on in-house development efforts or seek to lower\ntheir costs by renegotiating contracts. Further, customers may be more likely to make late payments in worsening economic conditions,\nwhich could lead to increased collection efforts and require us to incur additional associated costs to collect expected revenues. If\nthe economic conditions of the general economy or industries in which we operate worsen from present levels, our results of operations\ncould be adversely affected.\n\n \n\n27\n\n \n\n**Our\nsales and operations in international markets expose us to operational, financial and regulatory risks.** \n\n \n\nWe\ncurrently offer our solutions in several countries and intend to continue to expand our international operations. While we have committed\nresources to expanding our international operations and sales channels, these efforts may not be successful. International operations\nare subject to a number of other risks, including:\n\n \n\n \n●\nExchange\nrate fluctuations;\n\n \n\n \n●\nPolitical\nand economic instability, particularly in emerging markets;\n\n \n\n \n●\nGlobal\nor regional health crises;\n\n \n\n \n●\nPotential\nfor violations of anti-corruption laws and regulations, such as those related to bribery and fraud;\n\n \n\n \n●\nLess\neffective protection of intellectual property;\n\n \n\n \n●\nDifficulties\nand costs of staffing and managing foreign operations, including recruiting and retaining talented and capable employees;\n\n \n\n \n●\nImport\nand export laws, including technology import and export license requirements, and the impact of tariffs;\n\n \n\n \n●\nTrade\nrestrictions, including as a result of boycotts, trade disputes or other disputes between countries or regions in which we sell and\noperate;\n\n \n\n \n●\nDifficulties\nin complying with a variety of foreign laws and legal standards and changes in regulatory requirements;\n\n \n\n \n●\nDifficulties\nin collecting receivables from foreign entities or delayed revenue recognition;\n\n \n\n \n●\nThe\nintroduction of exchange controls and other restrictions by foreign governments; and\n\n \n\n \n●\nChanges\nin local tax and customs duty laws or changes in the enforcement, application or interpretation of such laws.\n\n \n\nThere\nis no assurance that the foregoing factors will not have a material adverse effect on our future revenues and, as a result, on our business,\noperating results and financial condition.\n\n \n\n**Changes\nin tax laws or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our future profitability.** \n\n \n\nFactors\nthat could materially affect our future, effective tax rates, include but are not limited to:\n\n \n\n \n●\nChanges\nin tax laws or the regulatory environment;\n\n \n\n \n●\nChanges\nin accounting and tax standards or practices;\n\n \n\n \n●\nChanges\nin the composition of operating income by tax jurisdiction; and\n\n \n\n \n●\nour\noperating results before taxes.\n\n \n\n28\n\n \n\nBecause\nwe do not have a long operating history and have significant expansion plans, our effective tax rate may fluctuate in the future. Future\neffective tax rates could be affected by operating losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recorded, changes in the composition\nof earnings in countries with differing tax rates, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws.\n\n** **\n\n**Forecasting\nour estimated annual effective tax rate is complex and subject to uncertainty, and there may be material differences between forecasted\nand actual tax rates.** \n\n \n\nWe\nconduct business in several countries and is subject to taxation in many of such jurisdictions. The taxation of HUB’s business\nis subject to the application of multiple and sometimes conflicting tax laws and regulations, as well as multinational tax conventions.\nHUB’s effective tax rate will depend upon the geographic distribution of its worldwide earnings or losses, the tax regulations\nand tax holidays in each geographic region, the availability of tax credits and the effectiveness of its tax planning strategies. The\napplication of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves\nare subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation and the evolution of regulations and court rulings.\nConsequently, tax authorities may impose tax assessments or judgments against HUB that could materially impact its tax liability and\neffective income tax rate.\n\n \n\nThe\nOrganization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), an international association comprised of 37 countries,\nincluding the United States, has issued and continues to issue guidelines and proposals that change various aspects of the existing framework\nunder which HUB’s tax obligations are determined in many of the countries in which it does business. Due to HUB’s international\nbusiness activities, any changes in the taxation of such activities could increase its tax obligations in many countries and may increase\nits worldwide effective tax rate.\n\n \n\n**Fluctuations\nin currency exchange rates could harm our operating results and financial condition.** \n\n \n\nWe\noffer our solutions to customers globally and have sales in several countries. Although a portion of our cash generated from revenue\nis denominated in U.S. dollars, most of our revenues and operating expenses are incurred in Israel and denominated in Israeli New Shekels.\nAs a result, our consolidated U.S. dollar financial statements are subject to fluctuations due to changes in exchange rates as our revenues\nand operating expenses are translated from NIS into U.S. dollars. If the significant fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative\nto the NIS will continue, it will have an impact on the U.S. dollar amount of our future operating expenses. Our financial results are\nalso subject to changes in exchange rates that impact the settlement of transactions in non-local currencies. Because we conduct business\nin currencies other than U.S. dollars but report our results of operations in U.S. dollars, it also faces re-measurement exposure to\nfluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could hinder our ability to predict future results and earnings and could materially and\nadversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. We evaluate periodically the various currencies to which we are exposed\nand take selective hedging measures to reduce the potential adverse impact from the appreciation or the devaluation of our non-U.S. dollar-denominated\nexpenses, as appropriate and as reasonably available to us. There can be no assurances that our hedging activities will be successful\nin protecting us from adverse impacts from currency exchange rate fluctuations.\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Systems and Technology**\n\n** **\n\n**Our\nreputation and business could be harmed based on real or perceived shortcomings, defects or vulnerabilities in our solutions or if our\ninternal systems or customers experience security breaches, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation and\noperating results.**\n\n** **\n\nIf\nany of our systems, our customers’ cloud or on-premises environments, or our internal systems are breached or if unauthorized access\nto customer or third-party data is otherwise obtained, public perception of our business may be harmed, and we may lose business and\nincur losses or liabilities. Network security products, solutions and services such as ours are complex in development, design and\ndeployment and may contain errors, bugs, misconfigurations or vulnerabilities that are potentially incapable of being remediated or detected\nuntil after their deployment, if at all. Any real or perceived errors, bugs, design failures, defects, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations\nin our solutions or untimely or insufficient remediation thereof, could cause our solutions to not meet specifications, be vulnerable\nto security attacks or fail to secure networks or applications which could negatively impact customer operations and consequently harm\nour business and reputation.\n\n \n\n29\n\n \n\nBecause\nour solutions and services are used by our customers to protect and manage large data sets that often contain proprietary, confidential,\nand sensitive information (it may include in some instances personal or identifying information and personal health information), components\nprotected by our products will be perceived by computer hackers as an attractive target for attacks, and our software could face threats\nof unintended exposure, exfiltration, alteration, deletion or loss of data. Additionally, because some of our customers use our solutions\nto store, transmit and otherwise process proprietary, confidential, or sensitive information and complete mission-critical tasks, they\nhave a lower risk tolerance for security vulnerabilities in our solutions and services than for vulnerabilities in other, less critical,\nsoftware products and services.\n\n \n\nIn\naddition, we may suffer significant adverse publicity and reputational harm if our solutions are associated, or are believed to be associated\nwith, or fail to reasonably protect against, a security attack or a breach at a high-profile customer. Moreover, any actual or perceived\ncyber-attack, other security breach, exposure or theft of ours or our customers’ data, regardless of whether the breach or theft\nis attributable to the failure of our solutions, could:\n\n \n\n●adversely\naffect the market’s perception of our solutions,\n\n \n\n●cause\ncurrent or potential customers to look to our competitors for alternatives,\n\n \n\n●require\nus to expend significant financial resources to analyze, correct or eliminate any vulnerabilities,\nand\n\n \n\n●lead\nto investigations, litigation, fines and penalties, any of which could have a material adverse\neffect on our operations, financial condition and reputation.\n\n \n\nWe,\nand the third-party vendors upon which we rely, have experienced, and may in the future experience, cybersecurity threats, including\nthreats or attempts to disrupt our information technology infrastructure and unauthorized attempts to gain access to sensitive or confidential\ninformation. We and our third-party vendors’ technology systems may be damaged or compromised by malicious events, such as cyber-attacks\n(including computer viruses, malicious and destructive code, phishing attacks, and denial of service attacks), physical or electronic\nsecurity breaches, natural disasters, fire, power loss, telecommunications failures, personnel misconduct, and human error. Such attacks\nor security breaches may be perpetrated by internal bad actors, such as employees or contractors, or by third parties (including traditional\ncomputer hackers, persons involved with organized crime, or foreign state or foreign state-supported actors). Cybersecurity threats can\nemploy a wide variety of methods and techniques, which may include the use of social engineering techniques, are constantly evolving,\nand have become increasingly complex and sophisticated; all of which increase the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending\nagainst them.\n\n \n\nFurthermore,\nbecause the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until\nafter they are launched against a target, we and our third-party vendors may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate\npreventative measures. Although prior cyber-attacks directed at us have not had a material impact on our financial results, and we are\ncontinuing to bolster our threat detection and mitigation processes and procedures, we cannot guarantee that future cyber-attacks against\nour own computer components or components owned by third parties that are protected by our solutions, will not have a material impact\non our business or financial results.\n\n \n\nSecurity\nbreaches or defects in our solutions could result in loss or alteration of, or unauthorized access to, customers’ data and compromise\nour customers’ networks and applications that are secured by our solutions. If such a security breach results in the disruption\nor loss of availability, integrity or confidentiality of customers’ data, we could incur significant liability to our customers\nand to businesses or individuals whose information was being handled by our customers, in addition to regulatory agencies. Many governments\nhave enacted laws requiring companies to provide notice of data security incidents involving certain types of data, including personal\ndata. In addition, most of our customers contractually require us to notify them of data security breaches. If an actual or perceived\nbreach of security measures, unauthorized access to our system or the systems of the third-party customers that are protected by our\nsolutions occurs, we may face direct or indirect liability, costs, or damages, contract termination, our reputation in the industry and\nwith current and potential customers may be compromised, our ability to attract new customers could be negatively affected and our business,\nfinancial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.\n\n \n\n30\n\n \n\nFurther,\na successful hacking of systems that are protected by our solutions could result in the loss of information; significant remediation\ncosts; litigation, disputes, regulatory action, or investigations that could result in damages, material fines, and penalties; indemnity\nobligations; interruptions in the operation of our business, including our ability to provide new product features, new solutions, or\nservices to our customers; and other liabilities. Moreover, our remediation efforts may not be successful. Any or all of these issues,\nor the perception that any of them have occurred, could negatively affect our ability to attract new customers, cause existing customers\nto terminate or not renew their agreements, hinder our ability to obtain and maintain required or desirable cybersecurity certifications\nand result in reputational damage, any of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and\nprospects. As our focus and business continue to shift towards cybersecurity and managing sensitive and large amounts of data, the risk\nwill intensify as more of a premium is placed on our cybersecurity efforts.\n\n \n\nThere\nis no guarantee that our solutions will be free of flaws or vulnerabilities. Our customers may also misuse or improperly install our\nsolutions, which could result in vulnerabilities to a breach or theft of business data. There can be no assurance that limitation of\nliability, indemnification or other protective provisions that we attempt to include in our contracts with customers, vendors, partners,\nor others would be applicable, enforceable or adequate in connection with a security breach, or would otherwise protect us from any such\nliabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim.\n\n \n\nWe\nmaintain different types of insurance, subject to applicable deductibles and policy limits, but our insurance may not be sufficient to\ncover the financial, legal, business, or reputational losses that may result from an interruption or breach of our systems. We also cannot\nbe sure that our existing general liability insurance coverage and coverage for cyber liability or errors or omissions will continue\nto be available on acceptable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims or that the insurer\nwill not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available\ninsurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible\nor co-insurance requirements, could result in our business, financial condition and results of operations being materially adversely\naffected. In addition, our cybersecurity risk could be increased because of the ongoing military conflicts between Israel and Hamas and\nother terrorist organizations and Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions imposed against Russia. We implement continuous multi-layered\ncybersecurity protection for our operations and resources and have an internal professional group of cybersecurity services to ensure\nprotection against attacks by state actors, including any new cybersecurity threats that may be presented by the unfolding conflicts\nbetween Israel and Hamas and other terrorist organizations and Russia and Ukraine.\n\n \n\n**We incorporate\nartificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into some of our services. This technology is new and developing and may present\nboth compliance and reputational risks.**\n\n \n\nWe\nrely on AI and machine learning in the operation of some of our services or solutions. The AI models that we use are trained using various\ndata sets. If our AI models are incorrectly designed or implemented, they may produce inaccurate or unreliable results, negatively impacting\nthe performance and reliability of our products or solutions. The effectiveness of our AI models depends on the quality and completeness\nof the data used for training. Any malfunction or unexpected behavior in our AI-driven systems could disrupt our operations and potential\nloss of revenue. Additionally, failures in the performance of our AI models could damage our reputation, erode customer trust, and result\nin loss of business and negative publicity.\n\n** **\n\n**Undetected\ndefects and errors may increase our costs and impair market acceptance of our products and solutions. **\n\n \n\nOur\nproducts and solutions have occasionally contained, and may in the future contain, undetected defects or errors, especially when first\nintroduced or when new versions are released, due to defects or errors that we fail to detect, including in components supplied to us\nby third parties. In addition, because our customers integrate our products into their networks with products from other vendors, it\nmay be difficult to identify the product that has caused the problem in the network. Regardless of the source of these defects or errors,\nwe will then need to divert the attention of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts to detect and correct these\nerrors and defects. In the past, we have not incurred significant warranty or repair costs, nor have we been subject to liability claims\nfor material damages related to product errors or defects, nor have we experienced any material lags or delays as a result thereof. However,\nthere can be no assurance that these costs, liabilities and delays will continue to be immaterial in the future. Any insurance coverage\nthat we maintain may also not provide sufficient protection should a claim be asserted. Moreover, the occurrence of errors and defects,\nwhether caused by our products or the components supplied by another vendor, may result in significant customer relations problems, and\ninjure our reputation, thereby impairing the market acceptance of our products.\n\n \n\n31\n\n \n\n**Interruption\nor failure of our information technology and communications systems could impact our ability to effectively provide our products and\nservices.** \n\n \n\nThe\navailability and effectiveness of our services depend on the continued operation of information technology and communications systems.\nOur systems will be vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among others, physical theft, fire, terrorist attacks, natural disasters,\npower loss, war, telecommunications failures, viruses, denial or degradation of service attacks, ransomware, social engineering schemes,\ninsider theft or misuse or other attempts to harm our systems. We utilize reputable third-party service providers or vendors for all\nof our IT and communications systems, and these providers could also be vulnerable to harms similar to those that could damage our systems,\nincluding sabotage and intentional acts of vandalism causing potential disruptions. Some of our systems will not be fully redundant,\nand our disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. Any problems with our third-party cloud hosting providers could\nresult in lengthy interruptions in our business. In addition, our services and functionality consist of highly technical and complex\ntechnology which may contain errors or vulnerabilities that could result in interruptions in our business or the failure of our systems.\n\n** **\n\n**We\nmay incorporate third-party technologies in our products, which would make us dependent on the providers of these technologies and exposes\nus to potential intellectual property claims.** \n\n \n\nOur\nproducts and services may contain certain technologies that are purchased and/or licensed from other companies. Third-party developers\nor owners of such technologies may be unwilling to sell to us or enter into, or renew, license agreements with us for the technologies\nthat we need on acceptable terms, or at all. If we cannot purchase these products or obtain licenses for these technologies, we could\nlose a competitive advantage compared to our competitors who are able to license these technologies. In addition, when we obtain licenses\nfor third-party technologies, we may have little or no ability to determine in advance whether the technology infringes the intellectual\nproperty rights of others. Our suppliers and licensors may not be required or may not be able to indemnify us if claims of infringement\nare asserted against us, or they may be required to indemnify us only up to a maximum amount, and we would be responsible for any costs\nor damages above such maximum amount. Any failure to obtain licenses for intellectual property or any exposure to liability as a result\nof incorporating third-party technologies into our products could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations,\nand financial condition.\n\n \n\n**If\nour products do not effectively interoperate with our customers’ existing or future IT infrastructures, implementations of our\nproducts could be delayed or canceled, which could harm our business.** \n\n \n\nOur\nproducts must effectively interoperate with our customers’ existing or future IT infrastructures, which often have different specifications,\nutilize multiple protocol standards, deploy products from multiple vendors and contain multiple generations of products that have been\nadded over time. If we find errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used by our customers’ infrastructure or\nproblematic network configurations or settings, we may need to modify our software or hardware so that our products will interoperate\nwith our customers’ infrastructure and business processes.\n\n \n\nWe\nmay not deliver or maintain interoperability quickly or cost-effectively, or at all. These efforts require capital investment and engineering\nresources. If we fail to maintain compatibility of our products with our customers’ internal networks and infrastructures, our\ncustomers may not be able to fully utilize our services and products, and we may, among other consequences, lose or fail to increase\nour market share and number of customers and experience reduced demand for our products, and our business, financial condition and results\nof operations could be materially adversely affected.\n\n \n\n32\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Intellectual Property**\n\n** **\n\n**Our\nproprietary rights may be difficult to enforce, which could enable others to copy or use aspects of our products without compensating\nus.** \n\n \n\nWe\nrely primarily on a combination of trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual\nprovisions, to protect our proprietary technology. We generally no longer rely on patent protection for our solutions and may, in the\nfuture, elect not to maintain our existing patents or pursue new patent applications. To the extent we do not have patent protection\nfor our inventions, we may be unable to prevent others from using our technology or from developing and marketing relevant products that\nare similar to or compete with our own. Furthermore, because we do not actively monitor the legal status of our historical patent filings\nor consistently maintain them, such assets may lapse or be challenged without our knowledge, rendering them ineffective as defensive\nassets.\n\n \n\nThe\nprocess of obtaining and maintaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to, or may choose not\nto, prosecute necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. In addition, recent changes to patent\nrules in the United States and other jurisdictions may bring into question the validity of certain software-related intellectual property\nand may make it more difficult and costly to enforce proprietary rights.\n\n \n\nDespite\nour efforts to protect our intellectual property, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use\ninformation that we regard as proprietary. We generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants,\nvendors, and customers and generally limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. However, we cannot guarantee that\nthe steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology, especially regarding trade secrets which, once disclosed, may\nlose their legal protection.\n\n \n\nPolicing\nunauthorized use of our technology or products is difficult. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary\nrights to as great an extent as the laws of the United States or Israel, and many foreign countries do not enforce these laws as diligently.\nFrom time to time, legal action by us may be necessary to protect our trade secrets, determine the validity and scope of the proprietary\nrights of others, or defend against claims of infringement. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources\nand could negatively affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights\n(including aspects of our software and products protected by trade secret or copyright), we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage\nto others who need not incur the additional expense, time, and effort required to create the innovative products that we offer.**  **\n\n \n\n**We\nmay not be able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights or prevent unauthorized parties from copying or reverse\nengineering our products or technology. Our efforts to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights and prevent third parties\nfrom violating our rights may be costly.** \n\n \n\nThe\nsuccess of our products and business depends in part on our ability to obtain patents and other intellectual property rights and maintain\nadequate legal protection for our products. We rely on a combination of service mark, and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality\nprocedures and contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our proprietary rights, all of which provide only limited protection.\n\n \n\nWe\ncannot be sure that any trademarks will be registered with respect to our currently pending applications in a manner that provides adequate\ndefensive protection or competitive advantages, if at all. We may file for trademarks in the United States and other international jurisdictions,\nbut such protections may not be available in all countries in which we operate or in which we seek to enforce our intellectual property\nrights, or may be difficult to enforce in practice. For example, the legal environment relating to intellectual property protection in\ncertain emerging market countries where we may operate in the future is relatively weaker, often making it difficult to create and enforce\nsuch rights. Our currently-registered intellectual property and any intellectual property that may be issued or registered, as applicable,\nin the future with respect to pending or future applications may not provide sufficiently broad protection or may not prove to be enforceable\nin actions against alleged infringers. We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology\nor the reverse engineering of our technology. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that are competitive to or infringe\nour intellectual property.\n\n \n\n33\n\n \n\nProtecting\nagainst the unauthorized use of our intellectual property, products and other proprietary rights is expensive and difficult, particularly\ninternationally. We believe that our intellectual property is foundational in the area of confidential computing and we intend to enforce\nthe intellectual property portfolio that we have built. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or reverse engineer our technology or\ncertain aspects of our products that we consider proprietary. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend our intellectual\nproperty rights, to prevent unauthorized parties from copying or reverse engineering our products or technology to determine the validity\nand scope of the proprietary rights of others or to block the importation of infringing products into the U.S., Israel or other jurisdictions\nin which we seek to protect our intellectual property rights.\n\n \n\nAny\nsuch litigation, whether initiated by us or a third party, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources, either\nof which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Even if we obtain favorable outcomes in litigation,\nwe may not be able to obtain adequate remedies, especially in the context of unauthorized parties copying or reverse engineering our\nproducts or technology.\n\n \n\nEffective\ntrademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our products are available\nand competitors based in other countries may sell infringing products in one or more markets. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual\nproperty rights could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our competitive\nadvantage, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.\n\n \n\n**Third-party\nclaims that we are infringing intellectual property, whether successful or not, could subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation\nor expensive licenses, and our business could be adversely affected.** \n\n \n\nParticipants\nin our industry typically protect their technology, especially embedded software, through copyrights and trade secrets. As a result,\nthere is frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights.\nWe may in the future receive inquiries from other intellectual property holders and may become subject to claims that we infringe their\nintellectual property rights, particularly as we expand our presence in the market, expand to new use cases and face increasing competition.\nIn addition, parties may claim that the names and branding of our products infringe their trademark rights in certain countries or territories.\nIf such a claim were to prevail, we may have to change the names and branding of our products in the affected territories and could incur\nother costs.\n\n  \n\nWe\nmay in the future need to initiate infringement claims or litigation in order to try to protect our intellectual property rights. In\naddition to litigation where we are a plaintiff, our defense of intellectual property rights claims brought against us or our customers\nor suppliers, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, expensive to litigate or settle, could divert management resources and\nattention and could force us to acquire intellectual property rights and licenses, which may involve substantial royalty or other payments\nand may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Further, a party making such a claim, if successful, could secure a judgment\nthat requires us to pay substantial damages or obtain an injunction and we may also lose the opportunity to license our technology to\nothers or to collect royalty payments. An adverse determination could also invalidate or narrow our intellectual property rights and\nadversely affect our ability to offer our products to our customers and may require that we procure or develop substitute products that\ndo not infringe, which could require significant effort and expense. If any of these events were to materialize, our business, financial\ncondition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.\n\n** **\n\n**Certain\nof our products contain third-party open-source software components, and failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open-source\nsoftware licenses could restrict our ability to sell our products or expose us to other risks.** \n\n** **\n\nOur\nproducts contain software modules licensed to us by third-party authors under “open source” licenses. From time to time,\nthere have been claims against companies that distribute or use open-source software in their products and services, asserting that open-source\nsoftware infringes the claimants’ intellectual property rights. We could be subject to suits by parties claiming infringement of\nintellectual property rights in what we believe to be licensed open-source software. Use and distribution of open-source software may\nentail greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as, for example, open-source licensors generally do not provide\nwarranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. Some open-source licenses contain\nrequirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open-source software\nwe use. If we combine our proprietary software with open-source software in a certain manner, HUB could, under certain open-source licenses,\nbe required to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public. This would allow our competitors to create similar\nproducts with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of product sales for HUB.\n\n \n\n34\n\n \n\nAlthough\nwe monitor our use of open-source software to avoid subjecting our products to conditions we do not intend, the terms of many open-source\nlicenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that, for example,\ncould impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products. In this event, we could be required\nto seek licenses from third parties to continue offering our products, to make our proprietary code generally available in source code\nform, to re-engineer our products, or to discontinue the sale of our products if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely\nbasis, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.\n\n**  **\n\n**We\nrely on unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, designs, experiences, workflows, data, processes, software, and know-how.** \n\n** **\n\nWe\nrely on proprietary information (such as trade secrets, designs, experiences, workflows, data, know-how, and confidential information)\nto protect intellectual property that may not be patentable or subject to copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secrets or service\nmark protection, or that we believe is best protected by means that do not require public disclosure. We generally seek to protect this\nproprietary information by entering into confidentiality agreements, or consulting, services or employment agreements that contain non-disclosure\nand non-use provisions with our employees, consultants, customers, contractors, and third parties. However, we may fail to enter into\nthe necessary agreements, and even if entered into, such agreements may be breached or may otherwise fail to prevent disclosure, third-party\ninfringement, or misappropriation of our proprietary information, may be limited as to their term and may not provide adequate remedies\nin the event of unauthorized disclosure or use of proprietary information. We have limited control over the protection of trade secrets\nused by our current or future manufacturing counterparties and suppliers and could lose future trade secret protection if any unauthorized\ndisclosure of such information occurs. In addition, our proprietary information may otherwise become known or be independently developed\nby our competitors or other third parties. To the extent that our employees, consultants, customers, contractors, advisors, and other\nthird parties use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting\nknow-how and inventions. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary\nrights, and failure to obtain or maintain protection for our proprietary information could adversely affect our competitive business\nposition. Furthermore, laws regarding trade secret rights in certain markets where we operate may afford little or no protection to our\ntrade secrets.\n\n \n\nWe\nalso rely on physical and electronic security measures to protect our proprietary information but cannot provide assurance that these\nsecurity measures will not be breached or provide adequate protection for our property. There is a risk that third parties may obtain\nand improperly utilize our proprietary information to our competitive disadvantage. We may not be able to detect or prevent the unauthorized\nuse of such information or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce our intellectual property rights, and our business, financial\ncondition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Legal and Regulatory Environment** \n\n** **\n\n**We\nare subject to a securities class action and other litigations and could be subject to additional litigation in the United States, Israel\nor elsewhere that could negatively impact our business, including resulting in substantial costs and liabilities. Specifically, we are\nsubject to a pending lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York relating to our 2023 de-SPAC merger seeking damages of not\nless than $5.08 million, plus interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and the plaintiff has filed a motion for entry of a default\njudgment, the entry of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.**\n\n \n\nFrom\ntime to time, we are subject to litigation or claims that could negatively affect our business operations and financial position. We\nand certain of our directors and officers have been named as defendants in a number of lawsuits that could cause us to incur unforeseen\nexpenses, service disruptions, and otherwise occupy a significant amount of our management’s time and attention, any of which,\nif determined adversely to us, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash\nflows, growth prospects and reputation.\n\n \n\n35\n\n \n\nFor\nadditional information on the class action and other lawsuits and for information concerning additional litigation proceedings, see Note\n22 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in this Annual Report.\n\n \n\nWe\nalso from time to time receive inquiries and subpoenas and other types of information requests from government regulators and authorities\nand we may become subject to related claims and other actions related to our business activities. While the ultimate outcome of investigations,\ninquiries, information requests and related legal proceedings is difficult to predict, such matters can be expensive, time-consuming\nand distracting, and adverse resolutions or settlements of those matters may result in, among other things, modification of our business\npractices, reputational harm or costs and significant payments, any of which could negatively affect our business operations and financial\nposition.\n\n** **\n\nOn\nFebruary 27, 2026, DC Rainier SPV LLC, the former sponsor of Mount Rainier Acquisition Corp., commenced an action against us and A-Labs\nFinance & Advisory Ltd. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (Index No. 151513/2026), alleging fraud\nand related claims in connection with the February 2023 de-SPAC merger between Mount Rainier Acquisition Corp. and our predecessor entity.\nThe plaintiff alleges, among other things, that (i) we and A-Labs misrepresented the existence of approximately $50 million of purportedly\n“irrevocable” private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing commitments (including approximately $10 million purportedly\ncommitted by A-Labs itself) prior to the closing of the de-SPAC merger, none of which was funded, and (ii) we concealed misappropriation\nof Company funds by our former Chief Executive Officer and the misuse of Company credit cards by a former controller, as well as the\nexistence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. The\nplaintiff seeks damages of not less than $5,080,027, plus interest, attorneys’ fees and costs.\n\n \n\nOn\nApril 28, 2026, the plaintiff filed a motion for entry of a default judgment against us, with a return date of May 29, 2026, on the grounds\nthat we did not respond to the complaint within the time prescribed by the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules. As of the date of this\nAnnual Report, we have not yet appeared in the action. We plan to seek to vacate any entry of default and to oppose the motion, asserting\nthat service was not properly made. If a default judgment is entered against us in the amount sought by the plaintiff (or any substantial\nportion thereof), or if we are otherwise found liable for damages, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,\nliquidity and the trading price of our ordinary shares, particularly given our existing liquidity constraints, and could increase the\nrisk that we may be forced to seek bankruptcy or insolvency court protection. Any efforts to vacate or appeal a default judgment, or\nto defend the underlying claims, would be costly, would divert management resources and would have an uncertain outcome. Further, we\nmay be subject to additional similar litigation in the future relating to disclosures made in connection with the de-SPAC merger or otherwise,\nand the costs and outcomes of any such litigation could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and\nresults of operations.\n\n** **\n\n**The\ndynamic regulatory environment around privacy and data protection may limit our offering or require modification of our products and\nservices, which could limit our ability to attract new customers and support our existing customers and increase our operational expenses.\nWe could also be subject to investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions alleging that we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements,\nwhich could harm our operating results and adversely affect our business.** \n\n** **\n\nFederal,\nstate and international bodies continue to adopt, enact, and enforce new laws and regulations, as well as industry standards and guidelines,\naddressing cybersecurity, privacy, data protection and the collection, processing, storage, cross-border transfer and use of personal\ninformation.\n\n \n\nWe\nare subject to diverse laws and regulations relating to data privacy, including but not limited to the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679\n(“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act\nas amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HIPAA”), the UK Data Protection Act\n2018, national privacy laws of EU Member States, the Israeli Privacy Protection Law, 1981 (“PPL”) and other laws relating\nto privacy, data protection, and cloud computing. These laws are evolving rapidly, as exemplified by the recent adoption by the European\nCommission of a new set of Standard Contractual Clauses; the prospect of a new European “ePrivacy Regulation” (to replace\nthe existing “ePrivacy Directive,” Directive 2002/58 on Privacy and Electronic Communications); the California Privacy Rights\nAct, which took effect on January 1, 2023 and created obligations with respect to certain data relating to consumers, significantly expanded\nthe CCPA, including by introducing additional obligations such as data minimization and storage limitations, granting additional rights\nto consumers, such as correction of personal information and additional opt-out rights, and created a new entity, the California Privacy\nProtection Agency, to implement and enforce the law; and the adoption of a significant amendment to the PPL, known as Amendment 13, which\ntook effect in August 2025 and notably enhances the investigative powers of the Privacy Protection Authority and increase the potential\nmonetary sanctions for violations. Similar laws coming into effect in U.S. states, adoption of a comprehensive U.S. federal data privacy\nlaw, and new legislation in international jurisdictions may continue to change the data protection landscape globally and could result\nin us expending considerable resources to meet these requirements. Compliance with these laws, as well as efforts required to understand\nand interpret new legal requirements, require HUB to expend significant capital and other resources. We could be found to not be in compliance\nwith obligations or suffer from adverse interpretations of such legal requirements either as directly relating to our business or in\nthe context of legal developments impacting our customers or other businesses, which could impact our ability to offer our products or\nservices, impact operating results, or reduce demand for our products or services.\n\n \n\n36\n\n \n\nCompliance\nwith privacy and data protection laws and contractual obligations may require changes in services, business practices, or internal systems\nresulting in increased costs, lower revenue, reduced efficiency, or greater difficulty in competing with companies that are not subject\nto these laws and regulations. For example, GDPR and the UK compliance regime impose several stringent requirements for controllers and\nprocessors of personal data and increase our obligations such as, requiring robust disclosures to individuals, establishing an individual\ndata rights regime, setting timelines for data breach notifications, imposing conditions for international data transfers, requiring\ndetailed internal policies and procedures and limiting retention periods. Ongoing compliance with these and other legal and contractual\nrequirements may necessitate changes in services and business practices, which may lead to the diversion of engineering resources from\nother projects. Additionally, given our overall cash position, liquidity concerns and lack of resources, we do not have sufficient capability\nto adequately maintain ongoing compliance with all relevant legal and contractual requirements or timely and properly implement new policies\nand procedures to comply with new and changing laws and regulations.\n\n \n\nAs\na company that focuses on cybersecurity, our customers may rely on our products and services as part of their own efforts to comply with\nsecurity control obligations under GDPR and other laws and contractual commitments. If our products or services are found insufficient\nto meet these standards in the context of an investigation into us or our customers, or we are unable to engineer products that meet\nthese standards, we could experience reduced demand for our products or services. There is also increased international scrutiny of cross-border\ntransfers of data, including by the EU for personal data transfers to countries such as the U.S., following recent case law and regulatory\nguidance. This increased scrutiny, as well as evolving legal and other regulatory requirements around the privacy or cross-border transfer\nof personal data could increase our costs, restrict our ability to store and process data as part of our solutions, or, in some cases,\nimpact our ability to offer our solutions or services in certain jurisdictions.\n\n \n\nEnactment\nof further privacy laws in the U.S., at the state or federal level, or introduction of new services or products that are subject to additional\nregulations, as well as ensuring compliance of solutions that we obtained through acquisitions, may require us to expend considerable\nresources to fulfill regulatory obligations, and could carry the potential for significant financial or reputational exposure to our\nbusiness, delay introduction to the market and affect adoption rates.\n\n \n\nClaims\nthat we have breached our contractual obligations or failed to comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws, even if we are\nnot found liable, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm our business.\nIn addition to litigation, we could face regulatory investigations, negative market perception, potential loss of business, enforcement\nnotices and/or fines (which, for example, under GDPR / UK regime can be up to 4% of global turnover for the preceding financial year\nor €20 / £17.5 million, whichever is higher).\n\n** **\n\n**Failure\nto comply with applicable economic sanctions laws and regulations could harm our business.** \n\n \n\nFailure\nto comply with trade compliance and economic sanctions laws and regulations of the U.S., the EU (including Germany), Israel and the UK\nand other applicable international jurisdictions could materially adversely affect our reputation and operations.\n\n \n\nOur\nbusiness must be conducted in compliance with applicable economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations, such as those administered\nand enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department\nof Commerce, the United Nations Security Council, the EU, His Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom and other relevant sanctions\nauthorities. Our global operations expose us to the risk of violating, or being accused of violating, economic and trade sanctions laws\nand regulations.\n\n \n\nWhile\nwe have taken certain precautions to prevent our solutions from being provided in violation of applicable trade controls laws and regulations,\nour products may have been in the past, and could in the future be, provided inadvertently, and without our knowledge, in violation of\nsuch laws. Violations of U.S. trade controls laws and regulations can result in significant fines or penalties and possible criminal\nliability for responsible employees and managers, in addition to potential reputational harm.\n\n \n\n37\n\n \n\nAny\nchange in export or import regulations, economic sanctions or related laws or regulations, or change in the countries, governments, persons\nor technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our solutions by, or in our decreased ability to export\nor sell our solutions to, existing or potential end-customers with international operations. Any decreased use of our solutions or limitation\non our ability to export or sell our solutions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth\nprospects.\n\n \n\n**Our\nbusiness may be affected by sanctions, export controls and similar measures targeting Russia and other countries and territories as well\nas other responses to Russia’s military conflict in Ukraine, including indefinite suspension of operations in Russia and dealings\nwith Russian entities by many multi-national businesses across a variety of industries.** \n\n** **\n\nAs\na result of Russia’s military conflict in Ukraine, governmental authorities in the United States, the EU and the UK, among others,\nlaunched an expansion of coordinated sanctions and export control measures, including:\n\n \n\n \n●\nblocking\nsanctions on some of the largest state-owned and private Russian financial institutions (and their subsequent removal from SWIFT);\n\n \n\n \n●\nblocking\nsanctions against Russian and Belarusian individuals, including the Russian President, other politicians and those with government\nconnections or involved in Russian military activities;\n\n \n\n \n●\nblocking\nsanctions against certain Russian businessmen and their businesses, some of which have significant financial and trade ties to the\nEU;\n\n \n\n \n●\nblocking\nof Russia’s foreign currency reserves and prohibition on secondary trading in Russian sovereign debt and certain transactions\nwith the Russian Central Bank, National Wealth Fund and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation;\n\n \n\n \n●\nexpansion\nof sectoral sanctions in various sectors of the Russian and Belarusian economies and the defense sector;\n\n \n\n \n●\nUnited\nKingdom sanctions introducing restrictions on providing loans to, and dealing in securities issued by, persons connected with Russia;\n\n \n\n \n●\nrestrictions\non access to the financial and capital markets in the EU, as well as prohibitions on aircraft leasing operations;\n\n \n\n \n●\nsanctions\nprohibiting most commercial activities of U.S. and EU persons in Crimea and Sevastopol;\n\n \n\n \n●\nenhanced\nexport controls and trade sanctions targeting Russia’s imports of technological goods as a whole, including tighter controls\non exports and reexports of dual-use items, stricter licensing policy with respect to issuing export licenses, and/or increased use\nof “end-use” controls to block or impose licensing requirements on exports, as well as higher import tariffs and a prohibition\non exporting luxury goods to Russia and Belarus;\n\n \n\n \n●\nclosure\nof airspace to Russian aircrafts; and\n\n \n\n \n●\nban\non imports of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal to the U.S.\n\n \n\nAs\nthe conflict in Ukraine continues, there can be no certainty regarding whether the governmental authorities in the United States, the\nEU, the UK or other counties will impose additional sanctions, export controls or other measures targeting Russia, Belarus or other territories.\nFurthermore, in retaliation against new international sanctions and as part of measures to stabilize and support the volatile Russian\nfinancial and currency markets, the Russian authorities also imposed significant currency control measures aimed at restricting the outflow\nof foreign currency and capital from Russia, imposed various restrictions on transacting with non-Russian parties, banned exports of\nvarious products and other economic and financial restrictions.\n\n \n\n38\n\n \n\nWe\nmust be ready to comply with the existing and any other potential additional measures imposed in connection with the conflict in Ukraine.\nThe imposition of such measures could adversely impact our business, including preventing us from performing existing contracts, recognizing\nrevenue, pursuing new business opportunities or receiving payment for products already supplied or services already performed with customers.\n\n \n\nFurthermore,\neven if an entity is not formally subject to sanctions, customers and business partners of such entity may decide to reevaluate or cancel\nprojects with such entity for reputational or other reasons. As a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, many U.S. and other multi-national\nbusinesses across a variety of industries, including consumer goods and retail, food, energy, finance, media and entertainment, tech,\ntravel and logistics, manufacturing and others, have indefinitely suspended their operations and paused all commercial activities in\nRussia and Belarus. As a result of the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, we have ceased to conduct any business operations in the region.\nWe may seek to resume operations in the area, dependent on the outcome of the hostilities. While we do not currently have any material\noperations or business in Russia or Ukraine, depending on the extent and breadth of sanctions, export controls and other measures that\nmay be imposed in connection with the conflict in Ukraine, it is possible that our business, financial condition and results of operations\ncould be materially and adversely affected.\n\n \n\n**We\nare subject to complex, evolving regulatory requirements that may be difficult and expensive to comply with and that could negatively\nimpact our business.** \n\n \n\nOur\nbusiness and operations are subject to a variety of often changing regulatory requirements in the countries in which we operate or offer\nour solutions, including, among other things, with respect to trade compliance, anti-corruption, sanction regimes, information security,\ndata privacy and protection, tax, labor and government contracts. Compliance with these regulatory requirements may be onerous, time-consuming,\nand expensive, especially where these requirements are inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, or where the jurisdictional reach\nof certain requirements is not clearly defined or seeks to reach across national borders. Regulatory requirements in one jurisdiction\nmay make it difficult or impossible to do business in another jurisdiction. We may also be unsuccessful in obtaining permits, licenses,\nor other authorizations required to operate our business, such as for the marketing or sale or import or export of our products and services.\n\n \n\nWhile\nwe endeavor to implement policies, procedures and systems designed to achieve compliance with these regulatory requirements, there is\nno assurance that these policies, procedures, or systems will be adequate, that we or our personnel will not violate these policies and\nprocedures or applicable laws and regulations or that we will have sufficient resources to meet these regulatory requirements or any\nchanges to these regulatory requirements. Violations of these laws or regulations may harm our reputation and deter government agencies\nand other existing or potential customers or partners from purchasing our solutions. Furthermore, non-compliance with applicable laws\nor regulations could result in fines, damages, criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees, restrictions on the conduct\nof our business and damage to our reputation.\n\n \n\nMoreover,\nregulatory requirements are subject to constant updates, modifications and revisions by the authorities adopting and implementing such\nrequirements which result in uncertainty as well as difficulties in planning ahead of time. Adapting our practices, policies and procedures\nto this ever-changing regulatory environment involves resources and time and requires our regulatory compliance teams to be on the watch\nfor any actual or potential changes and may have an impact on our ability to pursue business opportunities and anticipate the future\nresults.\n\n** **\n\n**We\nare subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us\nto criminal penalties or significant fines and harm our business and reputation.** \n\n \n\nWe\nare subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery and similar laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended\n(the “FCPA”), the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT\nAct, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, Chapter 9 (sub-chapter 5) of the Israeli Penal Law, 5737-1977, the Israeli Prohibition on Money Laundering\nLaw, 5760-2000, and other anti-corruption, anti-bribery laws and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which we conduct activities.\nAnti-corruption and anti-bribery laws have been enforced aggressively in recent years and are interpreted broadly and generally\nprohibit companies and their employees and agents from directly or indirectly promising, authorizing, making, offering, soliciting, or\nreceiving improper payments of anything of value to or from government officials or others in the private sector. As we increase our\ninternational sales and business, our risks under these laws may increase. Although we have internal policies and procedures, including\na code of ethics and proper business conduct, reasonably designed to promote compliance with anti-bribery laws, HUB cannot be sure that\nour employees or other agents will not engage in prohibited conduct and render HUB responsible under the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act or\nany similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions. Noncompliance with these laws could subject HUB to investigations, sanctions, settlements,\nprosecutions, other enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions,\ncollateral litigation, adverse media coverage and other consequences. Any investigations, actions or sanctions could harm our business,\nresults of operations and financial condition.\n\n \n\n39\n\n \n\n**If\nwe fail to comply with environmental requirements, our business, financial condition, operating results and reputation could be adversely\naffected.** \n\n** **\n\nWe\nare subject to various environmental laws and regulations, including laws governing the hazardous material content of our products, laws\nrelating to real property and future expansion plans and laws concerning the recycling of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“EEE”).\nThe laws and regulations to which we may be subject include the EU RoHS Directive, EU Regulation 1907/2006 — Registration,\nEvaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (the “REACH Regulation”) and the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic\nEquipment Directive (the “WEEE Directive”), as well as the implementing legislation of the EU member states. Similar laws\nand regulations have been passed or are pending in China, South Korea, Norway and Japan and may be enacted in other regions, including\nin the United States, and we may in the future be subject to these laws and regulations.\n\n \n\nThe\nEU RoHS Directive and the similar laws of other jurisdictions ban or restrict the presence of certain hazardous substances such as lead,\nmercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and certain fire-retardant plastic additives in electrical equipment, including our products. HUB\nattempts to comply with these laws, including research and development costs, costs associated with assuring the supply of compliant\ncomponents and costs associated with writing off scrapped noncompliant inventory. HUB expects to continue to incur costs related to environmental\nlaws and regulations in the future.\n\n \n\nAs\npart of the Circular Economy Action Plan, the European Commission amended the EU Waste Framework Directive (“WFD”) to include\na number of measures related to waste prevention and recycling, whereby we may be responsible for submitting product data to a database\nof hazardous substances established under the WFD and managed by the European Chemicals Agency. We may incur costs to comply with this\nnew requirement.\n\n \n\nThe\nEU has also adopted the WEEE Directive, which requires electronic goods producers to be responsible for the collection, recycling and\ntreatment of such products. Although currently our EU international channel partners may be responsible for the requirements of this\ndirective as the importer of record in most of the European countries in which we sell our products, changes in interpretation of the\nregulations may cause us to incur costs or have additional regulatory requirements in the future to meet in order to comply with this\ndirective, or with any similar laws adopted in other jurisdictions.\n\n \n\nOur\nfailure to comply with these and future environmental rules and regulations could result in reduced sales of our products, increased\ncosts, substantial product inventory write-offs, reputational damage, penalties and other sanctions.\n\n** **\n\n**Scrutiny\nof sustainability and environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, initiatives could increase our costs or otherwise adversely impact\nour business.**\n\n \n\nPublic\ncompanies have recently faced scrutiny related to ESG practices and disclosures from certain investors, capital providers,\nshareholder advocacy groups, other market participants and other stakeholder groups. Such scrutiny may result in increased costs, enhanced\ncompliance or disclosure obligations, or other adverse impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our ESG practices\nand reporting do not meet investor or other stakeholder expectations, we may be subject to investor or regulator engagement regarding\nsuch matters. Our failure to comply with any applicable ESG rules or regulations could lead to penalties and adversely impact our reputation,\naccess to capital and employee retention. Such ESG matters may also impact our third-party contract manufacturers and other\nthird parties on which we rely, which may augment or cause additional impacts on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.\n\n \n\n**Our\nbusiness could be negatively affected as a result of the actions of activist shareholders, and such activism could impact the trading\nvalue of our securities.** \n\n \n\nIn\nrecent years, U.S. and non-U.S. companies listed on securities exchanges in the U.S. have been faced with governance-related demands\nfrom activist shareholders, unsolicited tender offers and proxy contests. Although as a foreign private issuer we are not subject to\nU.S. proxy rules, responding to any action of this type by activist shareholders could be costly and time-consuming, disrupting our operations\nand diverting the attention of management and our employees. Such activities could interfere with our ability to execute our strategic\nplans. In addition, a proxy contest for the election of directors at our annual meeting would require us to incur significant legal fees\nand proxy solicitation expenses and require significant time and attention by management and our board of directors. The perceived uncertainties\ndue to such actions of activist shareholders also could affect the market price of our securities.\n\n** **\n\n40\n\n** **\n\n**We\nmay be required to indemnify our directors and officers in certain circumstances.** \n\n \n\nOur\nArticles of Association (the “Articles”) allow us to indemnify, exculpate and insure our directors and senior officers to\nthe fullest extent permitted under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”). As such, we have entered into\nagreements with each of our directors and senior officers to indemnify, exculpate and insure them against some types of claims, subject\nto dollar limits and other limitations. Subject to Israeli law, these agreements generally provide that HUB will indemnify each of these\ndirectors and senior officers for any of the following liabilities or expenses that they may incur due to an act performed or failure\nto act in their capacity as directors or senior officers:\n\n \n\n \n●\nMonetary\nliability imposed on the director or senior officer in favor of a third party in a judgment, including a settlement or an arbitral\naward confirmed by a court.\n\n \n\n \n●\nReasonable\nlegal costs, including attorneys’ fees, expended by a director or senior officer as a result of an investigation or proceeding\ninstituted against the director or senior officer by a competent authority; provided, however, that such investigation or proceeding\nconcludes without the filing of an indictment against the director or senior officer and either:\n\n \n\n \n●\nNo\nfinancial liability was imposed on the director or senior officer in lieu of criminal proceedings, or\n\n \n\n \n●\nFinancial\nliability was imposed on the director or senior officer in lieu of criminal proceedings, but the alleged criminal offense does not\nrequire proof of criminal intent.\n\n \n\n \n●\nReasonable\nlegal costs, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the director or senior officer or for which the director or senior officer\nis charged by a court:\n\n \n\n \n●\nIn\nan action brought against the director or senior officer by us, on our behalf or on behalf of a third party,\n\n \n\n \n●\nIn\na criminal action in which the director or senior officer is found innocent, or\n\n \n\n \n●\nIn\na criminal action in which the director or senior officer is convicted, but in which proof of criminal intent is not required.\n\n \n\n**Our\ncurrent and future cash balances and any investment portfolio we may have may be adversely affected by market conditions and interest\nrates.** \n\n \n\nWe\ncurrently have limited cash resources and liquidity. As such we expect to maintain balances of cash and cash equivalents for purposes\nof acquisitions and general corporate purposes. While we do not currently hold any marketable securities, there is no guarantee that\nwe will not maintain marketable securities in the future. The performance of the capital markets affects the values of funds that are\nheld in marketable securities. These assets are subject to market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and credit spreads, market\nliquidity and various other factors, including, without limitation, rating agency downgrades that may impair their value, or unexpected\nchanges in the financial markets’ healthiness worldwide. In addition, in case we hold liquid investments in the future and would\nlike to liquidate some of our investments and turn them into cash, we will be dependent on market conditions and liquidity opportunities,\nwhich may be impacted by global economic trends.\n\n \n\n41\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Being a U.S. Listed Public Company**\n\n** **\n\n**We\ncontinue to incur significant costs as a result of operating as a U.S. listed public company, and our management needs to devote substantial\ntime to compliance initiatives.** \n\n \n\nAs\na public company subject to reporting requirements in the United States, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses, and\nthese expenses may increase even more after we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities\nAct. As a public company in the United States, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,\nthe Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and Nasdaq. Our\nmanagement and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and\nregulations have caused us to incur significant legal and financial compliance costs and have made some activities to be more time-consuming\nand costly. As a result, the preparation and filing of this Annual Report was exceedingly time consuming and costly for us. We have not\nalways filed our Annual Report by the prescribed deadline and are filing this Annual Report late, and we cannot be certain that similar\nsituations would not occur in the future. Additionally continued delinquency in the timely submission of future filings could lead to\nthe SEC instituting administrative proceedings pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act to suspend or revoke the registration of\nour ordinary shares. These costs will likely increase our net loss in the short term. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing\nof additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult\nfor us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.\n\n \n\n**A\nmarket for our securities may not be sustained, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.** \n\n \n\nThe\nprice of our securities has and may continue to fluctuate significantly due to the performance of our business as well as general market\nand economic conditions. In addition, the price of our securities can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general\nbusiness conditions and the release of our financial reports. Additionally, if our securities become delisted from Nasdaq and are quoted\non OTC Markets (an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange), the liquidity\nand price of our securities may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.\nYou may be unable to sell your securities unless an active market can be sustained.\n\n \n\n**If\nwe fail to remediate our material weaknesses or if we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control\nover financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could\nbe impaired.**\n\n \n\nAs\ndiscussed above, in connection with the review of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and\n2023, included in this Annual Report, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.\nThe Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control\nover financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure\nthat information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and\nreported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the\nExchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We believe that any disclosure controls\nand procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of\nthe control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that\nbreakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons,\nby collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in\nour control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.\n\n \n\n42\n\n \n\nWe\nare also continuing to try to improve our internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness\nof our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will\ncontinue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight. If any of these new\nor improved controls and systems do not perform as expected, we may experience material weaknesses in our controls. In addition to our\nresults determined in accordance with IFRS, we believe certain non-IFRS measures and key metrics may be useful in evaluating our operating\nperformance. We present certain non-IFRS financial measures and key metrics in this Annual Report and intend to continue to present certain\nnon-IFRS financial measures and key metrics in future filings with the SEC and other public statements. Any failure to accurately report\nand present our non-IFRS financial measures and key metrics could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other\ninformation, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\nWhile\nwe are in the process of implementing remediation measures to address the material weaknesses identified by our management, our current\ncontrols and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, additional\nmaterial weaknesses or other weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in\nthe future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement\ncould harm our results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our consolidated\nfinancial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also\ncould adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations that we will be required to include in our second annual report\nthat we file with the SEC and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of\nour internal control over financial reporting that we will be required to include in our annual reports after we lose our status as an\n“emerging growth company.” Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could\nalso cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on\nthe trading price of our ordinary shares. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to\nremain listed on Nasdaq.\n\n \n\nWe\nare required to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting\npursuant to Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. See “Item 15. Controls and Procedures—Management’s Annual Report\non Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our\nmanagement in our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for our management to\nassess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation.\nTesting and maintaining internal controls may divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to our business.\nAdditionally, while we remain an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally\nattest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. At\nsuch time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with\nthe level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating.\n\n \n\nWe\ncontinue to be engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and\nchallenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants, and adopt\na detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control\nprocesses as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented, and implement a continuous reporting\nand improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. The company is working to improve its control system through the\nimplementation of an internal audit. The process of procuring insurance includes conducting a risk survey to identify where there is\nan increased level of risk. This process allows for an intelligent lowering of the risk levels that the Company is exposed to by improving\nthe control system.\n\n \n\n43\n\n \n\nDespite\nour efforts, there is a risk that we will not be able to conclude, within the prescribed time frame or at all, that our internal control\nover financial reporting is effective as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we cannot properly remediate our material\nweaknesses and develop our internal controls, or identify additional material weaknesses it could result in an adverse reaction in the\nfinancial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements. As a result, the market price of our ordinary\nshares could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which\ncould require additional financial and management resources.\n\n \n\nAny\nfailure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our business,\nfinancial condition, and results of operations and could cause a decline in the price of our ordinary shares.\n\n  \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares and Warrants** \n\n** **\n\n**The\nmarket price and trading volume of our ordinary shares and warrants on Nasdaq has been extremely volatile and could decline significantly.** \n\n \n\nThe\nstock markets, including Nasdaq on which we have listed our ordinary shares and warrants under the symbols “HUBC,” “HUBCW”\nand “HUBCZ,” respectively, have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. The market price\nfor our securities, particularly our ordinary shares, has declined significant in recent months, losing approximately 99% of their value,\nlimiting the ability of our investors and business partners to resell their shares at or near the price at which they invested. In addition,\nthe trading volume in our ordinary shares and warrants has already and may continue to fluctuate and cause significant price variations\nto occur. We cannot assure you that the market price of our ordinary shares and warrants will not continue to fluctuate widely or further\ndecline significantly in the future in response to a number of factors, including, among others, the following:\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\nrealization of any of the risk factors presented in this Annual Report or any additional filing that we make with the SEC;\n\n \n\n \n●\nactual\nor anticipated differences in our estimates, or in the estimates of analysts, for our revenues, gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, results\nof operations, liquidity or financial condition;\n\n \n\n \n●\nadditions\nand departures of key personnel;\n\n \n\n \n●\nfailure\nto comply with the requirements of Nasdaq;\n\n \n\n \n●\nfailure\nto comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other laws or regulations;\n\n \n\n \n●\nregulatory\ninquiries or investigations resulting from our previously disclosed Internal Investigation;\n\n \n\n \n●\nfuture\nissuances, sales, resales or repurchases or anticipated issuances, sales, resales or repurchases, of our securities including due\nto the expiration of contractual lock-up agreements;\n\n \n\n \n●\npublication\nof research reports about us;\n\n \n\n44\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\nperformance and market valuations of other similar companies;\n\n \n\n \n●\nfailure\nof securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow\nus or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;\n\n \n\n \n●\nnew\nlaws, regulations, subsidies, or credits or new interpretations of existing laws applicable to is;\n\n \n\n \n●\ncommencement\nof, or involvement in, litigation involving HUB;\n\n \n\n \n●\nbroad\ndisruptions in the financial markets, including sudden disruptions in the credit markets;\n\n \n\n \n●\nspeculation\nin the press or investment community;\n\n \n\n \n●\nactual,\npotential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems;\n\n \n\n \n●\nchanges\nin accounting principles, policies and guidelines; and\n\n \n\n \n●\nother\nevents or factors, including those resulting from infectious diseases, health epidemics and pandemics (including the COVID-19 public\nhealth emergency or any resurgence thereof), natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.\n\n \n\nIn\nthe past, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market\nprice of their shares. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources,\nwhich could have a material adverse effect on us.\n\n \n\n**If\nour estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect,\nour operating results could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our share price.** \n\n \n\nThe\npreparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates\nand assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. HUB’s management\nbases its estimates on various assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis\nfor making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our operating\nresults may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions. These could\ncause HUB’s operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in HUB’s\nstock price. Significant assumptions and estimates used in preparing HUB’s consolidated financial statements include those related\nto revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, accounting for Business Combination, contingent liabilities and accounting for income\ntaxes.\n\n \n\n**We\ndo not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell\nyour HUB ordinary shares for a price greater than the price you paid for them.** \n\n \n\nWe\nhave never declared or paid any cash dividends on our shares. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings\nfor use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends on the HUB ordinary shares in the foreseeable future.\nConsequently, you may be unable to realize a gain on your investment except by selling such shares after price appreciation, which may\nnever occur.\n\n \n\n45\n\n \n\nOur\nboard of directors has sole discretion whether to pay dividends. If our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency,\nand amount will depend upon its future, operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual\nrestrictions and other factors that its directors may deem relevant. The Companies Law imposes restrictions on our ability to declare\nand pay dividends. See “Dividend and Liquidation Rights” in Exhibit 2.1 to this Annual Report for additional information.\nPayment of dividends may also be subject to Israeli withholding taxes. See “*Item 10.E —Additional Information—Taxation*”\nfor additional information.\n\n** **\n\n**If\nsecurities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they\nchange their recommendations regarding our ordinary shares or warrants adversely, then the price and trading volume of our ordinary shares\ncould decline.**\n\n \n\nThe\ntrading market for our ordinary shares and warrants will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts\npublish about our business. We do not control these analysts, or the content and opinions included in their reports. As a relatively\nnew public company, the analysts who publish information about our ordinary shares and warrants have had relatively little experience\nwith us, which could affect their ability to accurately forecast our results and make it more likely that we fail to meet their estimates.\nIn the event we obtain industry or financial analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us issues an inaccurate or unfavorable\nopinion regarding us, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish\nreports on us regularly, our visibility in the financial markets could decrease, which in turn could cause our share price or trading\nvolume to decline.\n\n \n\n**We\nare eligible to be treated as an emerging growth company, as defined in the Securities Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure\nrequirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our ordinary shares less attractive to investors because we may rely on\nthese reduced disclosure requirements.**\n\n \n\nWe\nqualify as an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure\nrequirements available to emerging growth companies, which could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more\ndifficult to compare our performance with other public companies.\n\n \n\nWe\nare eligible to be treated as an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by\nthe JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised financial accounting standards until such\ntime as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of this extended transition period under the JOBS Act\nfor adopting new or revised financial accounting standards.\n\n \n\nFor\nas long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may also take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements\nthat are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including presenting only limited selected financial\ndata and not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result,\nour shareholders may not have access to certain information that they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for\nup to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if our total annual gross revenue\nexceeds $1.235 billion, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during any three-year period, or if before\nthat time we are a “large accelerated filer” under U.S. securities laws.\n\n \n\nWe\ncannot predict if investors will find our ordinary shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors\nfind our ordinary shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our ordinary shares and our share\nprice may be more volatile. Further, there is no guarantee that the exemptions available to us under the JOBS Act will result in significant\nsavings. To the extent that we choose not to use exemptions from various reporting requirements under the JOBS Act, we will incur additional\ncompliance costs, which may impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, growth prospects and reputation.\n\n** **\n\n46\n\n** **\n\n**We\nare a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules and are subject to Exchange Act reporting\nobligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.**\n\n \n\nWe\nreport under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. We qualify as a foreign private issuer under\nthe Exchange Act, and consequently we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public\ncompanies, including (1) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in\nrespect of a security registered under the Exchange Act, (2) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public\nreports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time\nand (3) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing\nunaudited financial and other specified information, although we are subject to Israeli laws and regulations with regard to certain of\nthese matters and intend to furnish comparable quarterly information on Form 6-K. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required\nto file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers\nthat are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year\nand U.S. domestic issuers that are large accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 60 days\nafter the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation FD, which is intended to prevent issuers\nfrom making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of all of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded\nto shareholders of a company that is not a foreign private issuer.\n\n \n\n**We\nmay lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.**\n\n \n\nAs\ndiscussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current\nreporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business\nday of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, our next determination will be made on June 30,\n2026. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are\nowned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or we fail to\nmeet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status,\nwe will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed\nand extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We would also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy\nrequirements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery\nprovisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we would lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate\ngovernance requirements under the listing rules of Nasdaq. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer,\nwe would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private issuer.\n\n** **\n\n**As\nwe are a “foreign private issuer” and follow certain home country corporate governance practices, our shareholders may not\nhave the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.**\n\n \n\nAs\na foreign private issuer, we have the option to, and do, follow certain home country corporate governance practices rather than those\nof Nasdaq, provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the home country practices we are following.\nFor instance, we follow home country practice in Israel with regard to the (i) quorum requirement for shareholder meetings and (ii) the\nrequirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events (such as for the establishment or amendment of certain equity-based\ncompensation plans, issuances that will result in a change of control of the Company, certain transactions other than a public offering\ninvolving issuances of a 20% or more interest in the Company and certain acquisitions of the shares or assets of another company). We\nmay in the future elect to follow home country practices in Israel with regard to other matters as well. Following our home country governance\npractices as opposed to the requirements that would otherwise apply to a U.S. company listed on the Nasdaq Global Market may provide\nless protection to you than what is accorded to investors under the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules applicable to domestic U.S. issuers.\nSee Item16G. “Corporate Governance.”\n\n \n\n47\n\n \n\n**We are subject to ongoing reporting obligations\nand potential penalties under the Israeli Securities Law.**\n\n \n\nAs a company whose securities\nwere listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”), even though we delisted them from the TASE in March 2023, the Israeli\nSecurities Law, 5728-1968 (the “Israeli Securities Law”) continues to apply and we are still subject to certain reporting\nobligations in Israel unless otherwise exempt in accordance with Israeli law. We have petitioned the Israeli Securities Authority to\ncease our reporting requirements in Israel, given that we are no longer traded on the TASE, but the outcome of such petition remains\nuncertain and we may be forced to continue reporting pursuant to Israeli law requirements. We have not filed reports under the Israeli\nSecurities Law after we started reporting in the United States under the Securities Act in March 2023. This could result in the imposition\nof penalties under the Israel Securities Law. In addition, as a company incorporated in the State of Israel, regardless of the outcome\nof the petition to cease our reporting requirements in Israel, we will remain subject to the jurisdiction of the Companies Law that apply\nto all Israeli incorporated companies.\n\n \n\n**Our\nArticles provide that unless we consent to an alternate forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive\nforum of resolution of any claims arising under the Securities Act.** \n\n** **\n\nOur\nArticles provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United\nStates shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any claim asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act (for the avoidance\nof any doubt, such provision does not apply to any claim asserting a cause of action arising under the Exchange Act). Section 22\nof the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all such Securities Act actions. Accordingly,\nboth U.S. state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder’s\nability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees\nand may increase the costs associated with such lawsuits, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and\nemployees. However, the enforceability of similar forum provisions in other companies’ organizational documents has been challenged\nin legal proceedings, and there is uncertainty as to whether courts would enforce the exclusive forum provisions in the Articles. If\na court were to find these provisions of the Articles inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types\nof actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely\naffect our business, financial condition, results of operations, growth prospects. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring\nany interest in our share capital shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the choice of forum provisions of the Articles\ndescribed above. This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other\nclaim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.\n\n \n\n**We\nmay issue additional ordinary shares or other equity securities without seeking approval of our shareholders, which would dilute your\nownership interests and may depress the market price of our ordinary shares and warrants.** \n\n \n\nWe\nmay choose to seek third party financing to provide additional working capital for our business, in which event we may issue additional\nequity securities or take out loans convertible into equity securities. We may also issue additional HUB ordinary shares or other equity\nsecurities of equal or, subject to applicable law, of senior rank in the future for any reason or in connection with, among other things,\nfuture acquisitions, the redemption of outstanding warrants or repayment of outstanding indebtedness, without shareholder approval, in\na number of circumstances.\n\n \n\nThe\nissuance of additional HUB ordinary shares or other equity securities of equal or, subject to any applicable law, senior rank would have\nthe following effects:\n\n \n\n \n●\nour\nexisting shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in HUB will decrease;\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\namount of cash available per share, including for payment of any dividends in the future, may decrease;\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\nrelative voting strength of each previously outstanding ordinary share may be diminished; and\n\n \n\n \n●\nthe\nmarket price of our ordinary shares may decline.\n\n \n\n48\n\n \n\nWe\nmay also seek additional capital through debt financings. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations\nand could involve restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, to make capital expenditures, to\ncreate liens or to redeem shares or declare dividends, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.\n\n \n\n**Issuances\nof our ordinary shares have, and in the future may continue to, significantly dilute the holdings of existing shareholders, and future\nresales of our ordinary shares may cause the market price of our ordinary shares and warrants to drop significantly, even if our business\nis doing well.** \n\n \n\nAs\nof July 7, 2026, there were 32,836,053 outstanding ordinary shares (adjusted for the 1-for-15 reverse split effected on January 15, 2026,\nthe 1-for-50 reverse split effected on April 20, 2026 and the 1-for-20 reverse split effected on June 5, 2026). We have issued a substantial\nnumber of convertible notes and warrants that may be converted or exercised into our ordinary shares, which has significantly diluted\nour existing shareholders and has, and may in the future continue to, adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. Since\nJanuary 1, 2026, convertible notes were converted into approximately 4,591,633 of our ordinary shares (post-reverse splits). As of June\n30, 2026, such securities are convertible or exercisable into an aggregate of 83,459,200 ordinary shares. Many of such notes and warrants\nare subject to anti-dilution adjustments that would result in their becoming convertible or exercisable for additional shares and the\nreduction of the conversion or exercise price if we were to issue securities at a purchase price (or conversion or exercise price) of\nless than $5.00 per share.\n\n** **\n\nPursuant\nto the terms of private investments made by certain equity holders, we are required to register the securities of such equity holders.\nUpon the effectiveness of any registration statement we file to register securities issued or issuable in connection with such private\ninvestments in a registered offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise in accordance with Rule 144 under\nthe Securities Act, our shareholders may sell large amounts of ordinary shares and warrants in the open market or in privately negotiated\ntransactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the trading price of our ordinary shares or warrants or putting\nsignificant downward pressure on the price of our ordinary shares or warrants. Additionally, downward pressure on the market price of\nour ordinary shares or warrants will likely result from sales of our ordinary shares issued in connection with the exercise of warrants.\nFurther, sales of our ordinary shares or warrants upon expiration of the applicable lockup period could encourage short sales by market\nparticipants. Generally, short selling means selling a security, contract or commodity not owned by the seller. The seller is committed\nto eventually purchase the financial instrument previously sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expected decline in the security’s\nprice. Short sales of our ordinary shares or warrants could have a tendency to depress the price of our ordinary shares or warrants,\nrespectively, which could increase the potential for short sales.\n\n \n\nIn consideration for the acquisition of BST, HUB issued to BST’s\nequity holders 197 ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants to purchase 44 ordinary shares of HUB. The exercise of the pre-funded warrants\nwas limited to the extent that, upon exercise, the holder and its affiliates would hold more than 4.99% of HUB’s outstanding ordinary\nshares. The ordinary shares were subject to transfer restrictions until June 2026. The actual or perceived availability of these shares\nfor sale may further depress the trading price of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\n**If\nwe or any of our subsidiaries are characterized as a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income\ntax purposes, U.S. Holders may suffer adverse tax consequences.**\n\n** **\n\nA\nnon-U.S. corporation generally will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in any taxable year if either (1) at\nleast 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets (generally based\non an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the\nproduction of passive income. We believe we were not a PFIC in 2025. Based on the current and anticipated composition of our and our\nsubsidiaries’ income, assets and operations, there is a risk that we may be treated as a PFIC for future taxable years. Moreover,\nthe application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects, and we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue\nService (the “IRS”) will not take a contrary position or that a court will not sustain such a challenge by the IRS.\n\n \n\n49\n\n \n\nWhether\nwe or any of our subsidiaries are a PFIC for any taxable year is a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition\nof our and our subsidiaries’ income and assets, and the market value of our and our subsidiaries’ shares and assets. Changes\nin the composition of our and our subsidiaries’ income, composition or composition of assets may cause us to be or become a PFIC\nfor the current or subsequent taxable years. Whether we are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a factual determination\nthat must be made annually at the close of each taxable year and, thus, is subject to significant uncertainty.\n\n \n\nIf\nwe are a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder (as defined in “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”)\nof our ordinary shares or warrants may be subject to adverse tax consequences and may incur certain information reporting obligations.\nSuch adverse consequences of PFIC status may be alleviated if a U.S. Holder makes a “mark to market” election or an election\nto treat us as a “qualified electing fund,” or QEF. These elections would result in an alternative treatment (such as mark-to-market\ntreatment) of our ordinary shares. A U.S. Holder may make a QEF election with respect to our ordinary shares only if we provide U.S. Holders\non an annual basis with certain financial information specified under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. There can be no assurance\nthat we will have timely knowledge of our status as a PFIC in the future or that we will timely provide U.S. Holders with the required\ninformation on an annual basis to allow U.S. Holders to make a QEF election with respect to our ordinary shares in the event we are treated\nas a PFIC for any taxable year. U.S. Holders who hold or have held our securities during a period when we were or are a PFIC will generally\nbe subject to the foregoing rules unless we cease to be a PFIC and such U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect\nto our ordinary shares. For a further discussion, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign\nInvestment Company Rules.” U.S. Holders of our ordinary shares and our warrants are strongly encouraged to consult their own advisors\nregarding the potential application of these rules to us and the ownership of our ordinary shares and/or warrants.\n\n \n\n**If\na U.S. Holder is treated as owning at least 10% of our stock, such U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax\nconsequences.**\n\n** **\n\nFor\nU.S. federal income tax purposes, if a U.S. Holder is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the\nvalue or voting power of our stock, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to us, or any\nof our subsidiaries, if we or such subsidiary is a “controlled foreign corporation.” If, as expected, we have one or more\nU.S. subsidiaries, certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation regardless of whether we\nare treated as a controlled foreign corporation.\n\n \n\nCertain\nUnited States shareholders of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to report annually and include in their U.S. federal taxable\nincome their pro rata share of the controlled foreign corporation’s “Subpart F income” and, in computing their “global\nintangible low-taxed income,” “tested income” and a pro rata share of the amount of certain U.S. property (including\ncertain stock in U.S. corporations and certain tangible assets located in the United States) held by the controlled foreign corporation\nregardless of whether such controlled foreign corporation makes any distributions. The amount includable by a United States shareholder\nunder these rules is based on a number of factors, including potentially, but not limited to, the controlled foreign corporation’s\ncurrent earnings and profits (if any), tax basis in the controlled foreign corporation’s assets, and foreign taxes paid by the\ncontrolled foreign corporation on its underlying income. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations (or related tax payment obligations)\nmay subject such United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may extend the statute of limitations with respect to\nsuch United States shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting (or payment of tax) was due.\nWe cannot provide any assurances that we will assist U.S. Holders in determining whether we or any of our subsidiaries are treated as\na controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or whether any U.S. Holder is treated as a United States shareholder\nwith respect to any of such controlled foreign corporations or furnish to any holder information that may be necessary to comply with\nreporting and tax paying obligations if we, or any of our subsidiaries, is treated as a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal\nincome tax purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment\nin our ordinary shares or warrants.\n\n \n\n50\n\n \n\n**As\na result of the Business Combination, the IRS may not agree that we should be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income\ntax purposes.**\n\n \n\nUnder\ncurrent U.S. federal income tax law, a corporation generally will be considered to be a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax\npurposes if it is created or organized in the United States or under the law of the United States or of any State. Accordingly, under\ngenerally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, we, given our incorporation and tax residency in Israel, would generally be classified\nas a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),\nand the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, however, contain specific rules that may cause a non-U.S. corporation to be treated\nas a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If it were determined that we are treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S.\nfederal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, we would be liable for\nU.S. federal income tax on our income in the same manner as any other U.S. corporation and certain distributions made by us to holders\nthat are not U.S. Holders (as defined in “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of our ordinary shares\nmay be subject to U.S. withholding tax.\n\n \n\nBased\non the terms of the Business Combination and certain factual assumptions, we do not currently expect to be treated as a U.S. corporation\nfor U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code after the Business Combination. However, the application of Section\n7874 of the Code is complex, subject to detailed regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and would be\nimpacted by changes in such U.S. Treasury regulations with possible retroactive effect) and subject to certain factual uncertainties.\nAccordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge our status as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax\npurposes under Section 7874 of the Code or that such challenge would not be sustained by a court.\n\n \n\nIf\nthe IRS were to successfully challenge under Section 7874 of the Code our status as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax\npurposes, we and certain of our shareholders may be subject to significant adverse tax consequences, including a higher effective corporate\nincome tax rate and future withholding taxes on certain of our shareholders, depending on the application of any applicable income tax\ntreaty that may apply to reduce such withholding taxes.\n\n \n\nYou\nshould consult your own advisors regarding the application of Section 7874 of the Code to the Business Combination and the tax consequences\nif our classification as a non-U.S. corporation is not respected.\n\n \n\nThe\nremainder of this discussion assumes that we will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section\n7874 of the Code.\n\n \n\n**Risks\nRelated to Our Incorporation and Operations in Israel**\n\n** **\n\n**Conditions\nin Israel could materially and adversely affect our business.**\n\n \n\nMany\nof our employees, including certain management members, operate from our offices that are located in Israel. In addition, a number of\nour officers and directors are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic, and military conditions in Israel and the surrounding\nregion may directly affect our business and operations. Terrorist attacks and hostilities within Israel and the recent hostilities between\nIsrael and Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran have also heightened these risks, including the wider war with Iran that began in February\n2026. We are unable to predict the ramifications of the current military hostilities in the Middle East.\n\n \n\n51\n\n \n\nWhile\na ceasefire has been entered into between Israel and Hamas and later between Israel and Iran, the situation remains fragile and verbal\nthreats and sporadic violations persist and may potentially escalate in the future to more active hostilities. It is possible that other\nterrorist organizations, including Palestinian militant organizations in the West Bank, as well as other hostile countries, will engage\nin hostilities against Israel or Israeli interests.\n\n \n\nThere\ncan be no assurance that attacks launched against Israel will not damage our facilities, which could result in a disruption of our business.\nFurther, these events may be intertwined with wider macroeconomic indications of a deterioration of Israel’s economic standing\nthat may involve a downgrade in Israel’s credit rating by rating agencies, which may have an adverse effect on us and our ability\nto effectively conduct our operations.\n\n \n\nThe\nIsrael Defense Force (the “IDF”), the national military of Israel, is a conscripted military service, subject to certain\nexceptions. In addition, many Israeli citizens are obligated to perform several weeks of annual military reserve duty each year until\nthey reach the age of 40 (or older, for reservists who are military officers or who have certain occupations) and, in the event of a\nmilitary conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to increases in terrorist and military activity, there have been periods\nof significant call-ups of military reservists, especially following the invasion by Gaza-based terrorists on October 7, 2023. It is\npossible that there will be military reserve duty call-ups in the future. Several of our employees and management members are subject\nto military service in the IDF and have been and may be called to serve. Since October 7, 2023, approximately 60 of our employees served\nin active duty, including our former CEO and CTO. While these call-ups have not resulted in material disruption to our operations to\ndate, extended reserve duty obligations are expected to continue in the coming years, and significant increase in the scope or duration\nof such service could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.\n\n  \n\nAny\narmed conflicts, terrorist activities or political instability in the region could adversely affect business conditions, could harm our\nresults of operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Parties with whom we do business may decline to travel\nto Israel during periods of heightened unrest or tension, forcing us to make alternative arrangements when necessary in order to meet\nour business partners face to face. In addition, the political and security situation in Israel may result in parties with whom we have\nagreements involving performance in Israel refusing to perform their commitments under those agreements. Further, in the past, the State\nof Israel and Israeli companies have been subjected to economic boycotts. Several countries still restrict business with the State of\nIsrael and with Israeli companies, and the recent hostilities and their depiction in certain news outlets and social media platforms\nhave increased anti-Israel sentiment around the world, which could lead to adverse political and economic ramifications. Any interruption\nor curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations.\n\n \n\nOur\ncommercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli\ngovernment currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot\nassure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages\nincurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would\nlikely negatively affect business conditions and could harm our results of operations.  \n\n ** **\n\n**As\na public company incorporated in Israel, we may become subject to further compliance obligations and market trends or restrictions, which\nmay strain our resources and divert management’s attention.** \n\n \n\nBeing\nan Israeli company publicly traded in the United States and being subject to both U.S. and Israeli rules and regulations may make it\nmore expensive for us to obtain directors and officers liability insurance, and we may be required to continue incurring substantially\nhigher costs for reduced coverage. In addition, as a company that had publicly offered securities in Israel via prospectus, even though\nwe were approved by the Israeli court and delisted from the TASE, the Israeli Securities Law shall continue to apply and we shall still\nbe subject to certain reporting obligations in Israel unless otherwise exempt in accordance with Israeli law. These factors could also\nmake it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on its audit committee,\nand qualified executive officers. In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, approval of our directors and officers insurance\nis limited to the terms of our duly approved compensation policy, unless otherwise approved by our shareholders.\n\n \n\n52\n\n \n\n**Our\nArticles and Israeli law could prevent a takeover that shareholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market price of our\nordinary shares.** \n\n \n\nCertain\nprovisions of Israeli law and the Articles could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and may make it more difficult\nfor a third party to acquire us or for our shareholders to elect different individuals to our board of directors, even if doing so would\nbe beneficial to our shareholders, and may limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for the HUB ordinary shares.\nAmong other things:\n\n \n\n \n●\nIsraeli\ncorporate law regulates mergers and requires that a tender offer be effected when more than a specified percentage of shares\nin a company are purchased;\n\n \n\n \n●\nIsraeli\ncorporate law requires special approvals for certain transactions involving a company with its directors, officers or significant\nshareholders and regulates other matters that may be relevant to these types of transactions;\n\n \n\n \n●\nIsraeli\ncorporate law does not provide for shareholder action by written consent for public companies, thereby requiring all shareholder\nactions to be taken at a general meeting of shareholders;\n\n \n\n \n●\nOur\nArticles divide our directors into three classes, each of which is elected once every three years;\n\n \n\n \n●\nOur\nArticles require that any amendment thereto will be approved by our board of directors, in addition to by a vote of the holders of\na majority of our outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote present and voting on the matter at a general meeting of shareholders;\n\n \n\n \n●\nOur\nArticles do not permit a director to be removed except by a vote of the holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares entitled\nto vote at a general meeting of shareholders; and\n\n \n\n \n●\nOur\nArticles provide that the board of directors may fill director vacancies.\n\n \n\nFurther,\nIsraeli tax considerations may make certain transactions undesirable to HUB or to some of our shareholders whose country of residence\ndoes not have a tax treaty with Israel granting tax relief to such shareholders from Israeli tax. For example, Israeli tax law does not\nrecognize tax-free share exchanges to the same extent as U.S. tax law. With respect to mergers, Israeli tax law allows for tax deferral\nin certain circumstances but makes the deferral contingent on the fulfillment of numerous conditions. Moreover, with respect to certain\nshare swap transactions, the tax deferral is limited in time, and when such time expires the tax becomes payable even if no disposition\nof the shares has occurred. See the section titled “*Taxation — Taxation of Our Shareholders*.”\n\n \n\n**Provisions\nof Israeli law and the Articles may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of HUB, prevent a change of control, and negatively\nimpact our share price.** \n\n \n\nIsraeli\ncorporate law regulates acquisitions of shares through tender offers and mergers, requires special approvals for transactions involving\ndirectors, officers or significant shareholders, and regulates other matters that may be relevant to these types of transactions. Furthermore,\nIsraeli tax considerations may make potential acquisition transactions unappealing to us or to some of our shareholders. For example,\nIsraeli tax law may subject a shareholder who exchanges his or her ordinary shares for shares in a foreign corporation, to taxation before\ndisposition of the investment in the foreign corporation. These provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make an acquisition of\nHUB, which could prevent a change of control and, therefore, depress the price of our shares.\n\n \n\n53\n\n \n\n**We\nmay become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result\nin litigation and adversely affect our business.**\n\n \n\nA\nsignificant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our employees in the course of their employment by us. Under the\nIsraeli Patents Law, 5727-1967 (the “Patents Law”), inventions conceived by an employee during and as a result of his or\nher employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions,” which belong to the employer, absent an agreement between\nthe employee and employer providing otherwise. The Patents Law also provides that if there is no agreement between an employer and an\nemployee determining whether the employee is entitled to receive consideration for service inventions and on what terms, this will be\ndetermined by the Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee (the “Committee”), a body constituted under the Patents Law.\nCase law clarifies that the right to receive consideration for “service inventions” can be waived by the employee and that\nin certain circumstances, such waiver does not necessarily have to be explicit. The Committee will examine, on a case-by-case basis,\nthe general contractual framework between the parties, using interpretation rules of the general Israeli contract laws. Further,\nthe Committee has not yet determined one specific formula for calculating this remuneration, but rather uses the criteria specified in\nthe Patents Law. Although we generally enter into agreements with our employees pursuant to which such individuals assign to us all rights\nto any inventions created during and as a result of their employment with us, we may face claims demanding remuneration in consideration\nfor assigned inventions. As a consequence of such claims, we could be required to pay additional remuneration or royalties to our current\nand/or former employees, or be forced to litigate such monetary claims (which will not affect our proprietary rights), which could negatively\naffect our business.\n\n \n\n**Certain\ntax benefits that may be available to us, if obtained, would require us to continue to meet various conditions and such benefits may\nbe terminated or reduced in the future, which could increase our costs and taxes***.*\n\n \n\nWe\nmay be eligible for certain tax benefits provided to “Preferred Technological Enterprises” under the Israeli Law for the\nEncouragement of Capital Investments, 5719-1959, referred to as the “Investment Law.” If we obtain tax benefits under the\n“Preferred Technological Enterprises” regime then, in order to remain eligible for such tax benefits, we will need to continue\nto meet certain conditions stipulated in the Investment Law and its regulations, as amended. If these tax benefits are reduced, canceled\nor discontinued, our Israeli taxable income may be subject to the standard Israeli corporate tax rate (currently 23%). Additionally,\nif we increase our activities outside of Israel through acquisitions, for example, our activities might not be eligible for inclusion\nin future Israeli tax benefit programs. See “*Taxation*.”\n\n** **\n\n**It\nmay be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us, our officers and directors and the Israeli experts named in this Annual Report\nin Israel or the United States, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or serve process on our officers and directors and\nthese experts.**\n\n** **\n\nMost\nof our directors or officers are not residents of the United States and most of their and our assets are located outside the United States.\nService of process upon us or our non-U.S. resident directors and officers and enforcement of judgments obtained in the United States\nagainst us or our non-U.S. directors and officers may be difficult to obtain within the United States. We have been informed by our legal\ncounsel in Israel that it may be difficult to assert claims under U.S. securities laws in original actions instituted in Israel or obtain\na judgment based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on\na violation of U.S. securities laws against us or our non-U.S. officers and directors because Israel may not be the most appropriate\nforum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not\nU.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact,\nwhich can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little\nbinding case law in Israel addressing the matters described above. Israeli courts might not enforce judgments rendered outside Israel,\nwhich may make it difficult to collect on judgments rendered against us or our non-U.S. officers and directors.\n\n** **\n\n54\n\n** **\n\nMoreover,\nan Israeli court will not enforce a non-Israeli judgment if (among other things) it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for\nthe enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases), or if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty\nor security of the State of Israel, or if it was obtained by fraud or in absence of due process, or if it is at variance with another\nvalid judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties, or if a suit in the same matter between the same parties was\npending before a court or tribunal in Israel, at the time the foreign action was brought.\n\n \n\n**Your\nrights and responsibilities as a shareholder will be governed by Israeli law, which may differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities\nof shareholders of U.S. corporations.**\n\n** **\n\nWe\nare incorporated under Israeli law. The rights and responsibilities of holders of the ordinary shares are governed by the Articles and\nthe Companies Law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in\ntypical U.S. corporations. In particular, pursuant to the Companies Law each shareholder of an Israeli company has to act in good faith\nand in a customary manner in exercising his or her rights and fulfilling his or her obligations toward the company and other shareholders\nand to refrain from abusing his or her power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders\nand class meetings, on amendments to a company’s articles of association, increases in a company’s authorized share capital,\nmergers, and transactions requiring shareholders’ approval under the Companies Law. In addition, a controlling shareholder of an\nIsraeli company or a shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote or who has the\npower under the articles of association to appoint or prevent the appointment of a director or officer in the Company, or has other powers\ntoward the Company has a duty of fairness toward the Company. However, Israeli law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness.\nThere is limited case law available to assist in understanding the implications of these provisions that govern shareholder behavior.\n\n \n\n**The\nArticles provide that unless we consent otherwise, the competent courts of Tel Aviv, Israel shall be the sole and exclusive forum for\nsubstantially all disputes between us and our shareholders under the Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law.**\n\n** **\n\nThe\ncompetent courts of Tel Aviv, Israel shall, unless we consent otherwise in writing, be the exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action\nor proceeding brought on behalf of us, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or\nother employee of ours to us or our shareholders, or (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies\nLaw or the Israeli Securities Law. This exclusive forum provision is intended to apply to claims arising under Israeli law and would\nnot apply to claims brought pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which federal courts would have\nexclusive jurisdiction. Such exclusive forum provision in the Articles will not relieve us of our duties to comply with federal securities\nlaws and the rules and regulations thereunder, and shareholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with these laws, rules\nand regulations. This exclusive forum provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of its choosing\nfor disputes with us or our directors or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us, our directors, officers and employees.\n\n** **\n\n**We\nmay be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative\neffect on our financial condition, results of operations and the combined company’s ordinary share price, which could cause the\nprice of our shares to fall and shareholders to lose some or all of their investment.** \n\n \n\nWe\nmay be forced to further write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could\nresult in us reporting losses. Unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize. Even though these charges may be\nnon-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we may report charges of this nature could contribute\nto negative market perceptions of us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other\ncovenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by our business or by virtue of the us obtaining\nadditional debt financing. Accordingly, any of our shareholders could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders\nare unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.\n\n \n\n55\n\n \n\n**Risk\nFactors Relating to the Evofem Transaction**\n\n** **\n\n**We\nmay not realize any value from the Evofem Notes and Purchase Rights, and the securities we issued as consideration for the Evofem Notes\nand Purchase Rights may prove to have been issued for assets that are ultimately worthless.**\n\n** **\n\nIn\nJune 2026, we acquired senior subordinated convertible notes of Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (“Evofem”) with an aggregate outstanding\nbalance of approximately $5.4 million (the “Evofem Notes”) and certain prepaid rights to receive shares of Evofem common\nstock in an aggregate amount of approximately $10.2 million (the “Purchase Rights”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately\n$49.3 million payable solely in our ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants (the “Evofem Transaction”). Evofem is in severe\nfinancial distress. In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on May 15, 2026, Evofem\ndisclosed total assets of approximately $7.4 million against total liabilities of approximately $80.2 million, a stockholders’\ndeficit of approximately $77.6 million, limited cash resources, and substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.\nEvofem’s senior secured lender has asserted a claim that vastly exceeds Evofem’s total assets, has declared defaults and\ncancelled a forbearance agreement, and has threatened foreclosure on substantially all of Evofem’s assets. If Evofem is liquidated,\nforecloses, restructures, or files for bankruptcy protection, we may receive no cash payment and no equity value in respect of the Evofem\nNotes or the Purchase Rights. Accordingly, the Evofem Notes and Purchase Rights may ultimately prove to have little or no realizable\nvalue, and we may be required to write down or write off the entire carrying value of these securities, even though we issued a very\nsubstantial amount of our equity securities to acquire them.\n\n \n\n**The\nEvofem Notes are unsecured, deeply subordinated junior obligations, and any cash recovery is remote.**\n\n** **\n\nThe\nEvofem Notes are junior subordinated obligations of Evofem. They are unsecured and are subordinated in right of cash payment to Evofem’s\nsenior secured notes (reported by Evofem at approximately $123.2 million of total outstanding balance as of March 31, 2026 and secured\nby substantially all of Evofem’s assets, including its intellectual property) and to Evofem’s Adjuvant notes (reported by\nEvofem as having a carrying value of approximately $33.4 million), which constitute “Permitted Senior Indebtedness” senior\nto the Evofem Notes. Contractual put rights under the Evofem Notes that could otherwise generate cash for holders, including puts tied\nto subsequent placements and asset sales, are exercisable only after all Permitted Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, and any change-of-control\nredemption claim likewise is subordinated behind senior debt. Because the senior claims far exceed Evofem’s total assets, we do\nnot expect to recover cash on the Evofem Notes at maturity or otherwise, and the notes maturing December 1, 2026 are unlikely to be repaid\nwhen due. A payment default at maturity, cross-defaults among Evofem’s debt instruments (which can be triggered at low thresholds),\nor enforcement action by the senior secured lender could further impair or eliminate any residual value.\n\n \n\n**Our\nability to convert the Evofem Notes and exercise the Purchase Rights is subject to significant limitations although conversion or exercise\n(and subsequent sale of the resulting shares of Evofem common stock) is effectively our principal potential path to receiving value.**\n\n** **\n\nBecause\nthe possibility of our cash recovery on the Evofem Notes is remote, our principal potential source of consideration is conversion of\nthe Evofem Notes, and exercise of the Purchase Rights, into shares of Evofem common stock at the current conversion or exercise price\n(as applicable) of $0.0154 per share, and our subsequent sale of those shares. That option is subject to a number of significant limitations.\nFirst, Evofem does not currently have sufficient authorized common stock to permit conversion and exercise in full of its outstanding\nconvertible securities and equity-linked instruments, as its authorized share capital is approximately 3.0 billion shares while its fully\ndiluted share count (assuming conversion of all convertible instruments) is significantly higher. Second, the Evofem Notes contain a\n9.99% beneficial-ownership limitation that by its terms may not be waived and applies to successor holders, which would prevent us from\nconverting more than a small portion of our position at any one time. Third, Evofem has disclosed a potential reverse stock split (in\na ratio of up to 1-for-1,500), and the Evofem Notes contain anti-dilution and stock-combination adjustment provisions (including full-ratchet\nand “event market price” reset mechanics) that would reset the conversion terms of the Evofem Notes upon such events and\ncould materially reduce the number of shares issuable to us or the value of conversion. As a result of the above, there can be no assurance\nthat we will be able to convert the Evofem Notes or exercise the Purchase Rights, in either case in whole or in part, or that any such\nconversion or exercise will yield any realizable value.\n\n** **\n\n56\n\n** **\n\n**Even\nif we obtain shares of Evofem common stock, we may be unable to sell them at attractive prices or at all.**\n\n \n\nEvofem’s\ncommon stock is currently quoted on the OTCID market. Trading on such market is limited, sporadic and volatile, and the common stock\ntrades at a low absolute price. This may subject transactions in the stock to the SEC’s penny stock rules and additional broker-dealer\nrequirements, which could affect our ability to sell shares of Evofem common stock and the value we could receive from any such sale.\nIn addition, the shares of Evofem common stock issuable to us upon conversion or exercise would be “restricted securities”\nand could be sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration such as Rule 144 of the Securities\nAct, subject to applicable holding periods and other conditions, which could limit our ability to resell such securities. In addition,\nif we were deemed an “affiliate” of Evofem (including by reason of the size of our as-converted position, which on an as-converted\nbasis would represent a substantial majority of Evofem’s outstanding common stock), our resales would be subject to volume, manner\nof sale and other limitations under Rule 144, and we would be subject to beneficial ownership reporting and potentially other obligations\nunder the U.S. federal securities laws. Any significant sale by us of the shares of common stock could itself cause a significant decline\nin the market price of Evofem common stock given its limited liquidity. As a result of the above, even if we acquire shares of Evofem\ncommon stock we may not be able to sell such shares or to sell them at attractive prices.\n\n** **\n\n**We\nissued a very large number of ordinary shares and Pre-Funded Warrants as consideration in the Evofem Transaction, resulting in substantial\ndilution to our shareholders, potentially in exchange for assets that may yield no return.**\n\n \n\nAs\nconsideration in the Evofem Transaction, we issued an aggregate of 31,623,000 Consideration Shares (including the ordinary shares issuable\nupon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants). This compares to 4,291,960 ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to such issuance.\nAssuming full exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Consideration Shares would represent a substantial majority of our outstanding\nshare capital, and our shareholders prior to the Evofem Transaction have experienced, and upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants will\nexperience, very significant dilution of their ownership, voting power and economic interest. If the Evofem Notes and Purchase Rights\nultimately yield little or no value, our shareholders will have borne this dilution in exchange for assets of little or no worth, which\ncould materially and adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.\n\n \n\n**The\npre-funded warrants issued in the Evofem Transaction cannot be exercised in full unless our shareholders approve the exercise and an\nincrease in our authorized share capital, and such approval may not be obtained.**\n\n \n\nThe\npre-funded warrants are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation by their current holders. We have undertaken to call a meeting\nof our shareholders as soon as reasonably practicable to approve the full exercise of the pre-funded warrants, the issuance of all ordinary\nshares issuable upon such exercise, and an increase in our authorized share capital. There can be no assurance that our shareholders\nwill approve these proposals or as to the timing of any approval. If shareholder approval is not obtained, the pre-funded warrants will\nremain subject to the beneficial ownership limitation by their current holders and may not be exercisable in full, which could give rise\nto claims or disputes with holders of the pre-funded warrants, adversely affect our relationships with these investors, and create uncertainty\nregarding our capital structure. Seeking approval will also involve the time and expense of a shareholder meeting, and the pendency of\nthese proposals may create an overhang on the market for our ordinary shares.\n\n** **\n\n**Future\nsales, or the perception of future sales, of the Consideration Shares could depress the market price of our ordinary shares.**\n\n \n\nThe\nConsideration Shares were issued in a private placement and constitute restricted securities. In the future holders of the Consideration\nShares may sell such shares pursuant to Rule 144 or, if we grant or effect registration rights, pursuant to a resale registration statement.\nThe number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the pre-Funded Warrants is very large relative to our public float and historical\ntrading volumes. Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares by holders of Consideration Shares, or the market’s perception\nthat such sales may occur (including upon or following shareholder approval), could materially depress the market price of our ordinary\nshares and impair our ability to raise capital in the future.\n\n** **\n\n57\n\n** **\n\n**We\ndo not control Evofem, we have limited rights and limited information as a noteholder, and Evofem’s own disclosure and control environment\npresent risks.**\n\n** **\n\nThe\nEvofem Notes and Purchase Rights do not entitle us to board representation, voting rights (except as required by law) or control over\nEvofem’s business, management, strategy or capital structure. Evofem may take actions that are adverse to our interests, including\nincurring or restructuring indebtedness, effecting recapitalizations or reverse stock splits, issuing additional securities that dilute\nthe shares underlying our instruments, or agreeing to transactions with its senior creditors that impair junior claims. In addition,\namendments and waivers under the note documentation generally require specified holder thresholds, and we may be bound by actions of\nother holders or unable to effect amendments we consider desirable. Our assessment of the Evofem Notes and Purchase Rights is based substantially\non Evofem’s public filings and information provided to us in connection with the transaction. In its public filings Evofem disclosed\nmaterial weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. In addition, its public disclosure may not be complete, accurate\nor timely.\n\n \n\n**If\nour investment securities become a significant portion of our total assets, we could be deemed an investment company under the Investment\nCompany Act of 1940, which could materially restrict our business.**\n\n \n\nFollowing\nthe Evofem Transaction, we hold convertible notes and equity-linked instruments of another company. If the value of these and any other\ninvestment securities were to constitute a significant portion of our total assets, we could be deemed to be an “investment company”\nwithin the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, absent an applicable exemption. Registration or regulation as an\ninvestment company would impose burdensome requirements on us, including restrictions on our capital structure, transactions with affiliates\nand ability to issue securities, and compliance could be impracticable for a company like ours. We intend to conduct our business, and\nto monitor our asset composition, so as not to be deemed an investment company, but there can be no assurance that we will not be required\nto take remedial actions, such as disposing of assets on unfavorable terms, to avoid that result."}
