EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Rail Vision Ltd. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-265968) to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) an aggregate of 288,745 ordinary shares of the Registrant (the “Ordinary Shares”) issuable under the Rail Vision Ltd. Amended Share Option Plan (the “Plan”). In August 2024, the Company filed another registration statement on Form S-8 (SEC File No. 333-281329) in connection with the registration of an additional 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Plan. The previously-filed registration statements are referred to herein as the “Prior Registration Statements.”

 

On November 15, 2023, the Company effected a one-for-eight (1-for-8) reverse stock split of its ordinary share (the “Reverse Split”) which reduced the number of shares reserved under the Plan to 288,745. On August 6, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the Plan in order to increase the number of shares reserved under the Plan to 4,288,745, and on April 20, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the Plan in order to further increase the number of shares reserved under the Plan to 9,288,745.

 

In accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8, the Company is filing this registration statement on Form S-8 solely to register an additional 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which may be issued under the Plan over and above the number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan that were registered under the Prior Registration Statements. Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety, with the exception of Items 3 and 8 of Part II of such Prior Registration Statements, each of which is amended and restated in its entirety herein.
