Rhea-AI Filing Summary

G. Willi-Food International Ltd. has filed a Form S-8 to register securities under its 2022 Share Option Plan, incorporating by reference its recent SEC filings so those documents form part of this registration statement. The filing confirms routine S-8 disclosures: Part I prospectus materials are being delivered to plan participants rather than filed, Item 4 and Item 5 are marked not applicable, and the exhibit list includes corporate charters, the option plan, legal opinions, auditor consent, power of attorney and a filing fee table.

The company describes its authorized exculpation, indemnification and insurance framework under the Israeli Companies Law, including contractual indemnities and insurance for office holders and a stated maximum aggregate indemnification cap of 25% of shareholders' equity (consolidated, based on the most recent financial statements). The filing also notes the SEC view that indemnification for Securities Act liabilities is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

Willi-Food International Ltd. ha presentato un Form S-8 per registrare titoli nell'ambito del suo 2022 Share Option Plan, incorporando per riferimento le recenti comunicazioni alla SEC in modo che tali documenti facciano parte della presente dichiarazione di registrazione. Il deposito conferma le divulgazioni di routine previste per un S-8: i materiali del prospetto della Parte I vengono consegnati ai partecipanti al piano anzich茅 essere depositati, Item 4 e Item 5 sono segnalati come non applicabili, e l'elenco degli allegati comprende statuti societari, il piano di opzioni, pareri legali, il consenso del revisore, procure e una tabella delle spese di deposito.

L'azienda illustra il quadro autorizzato di esonero, indennizzo e assicurazione previsto dalla legge israeliana sulle societ脿, includendo indennizzi contrattuali e coperture assicurative per gli amministratori e i dirigenti e un massimo cumulativo di indennizzo pari al 25% del patrimonio netto degli azionisti (consolidato, basato sull'ultimo bilancio). Il deposito segnala inoltre la posizione della SEC secondo cui un indennizzo relativo a responsabilit脿 ai sensi del Securities Act 猫 contrario all'ordine pubblico e quindi inesigibile.

G. Willi-Food International Ltd. hat ein Form S-8 zur Registrierung von Wertpapieren im Rahmen seines 2022 Share Option Plan eingereicht und dabei seine j眉ngsten SEC-Einreichungen durch Verweis einbezogen, sodass diese Unterlagen Teil der vorliegenden Registrierungsanmeldung werden. Die Einreichung best盲tigt die routinem盲脽igen S-8-Angaben: Die Prospektunterlagen von Teil I werden den Planteilnehmern 眉bergeben statt eingereicht, Item 4 und Item 5 sind als nicht zutreffend gekennzeichnet, und die Anlagenliste enth盲lt Unternehmenssatzungen, den Optionsplan, rechtliche Stellungnahmen, das Einverst盲ndnis des Abschlusspr眉fers, Vollmachten sowie eine Tabelle der Einreichungsgeb眉hren.

Das Unternehmen beschreibt den nach israelischem Gesellschaftsrecht genehmigten Rahmen f眉r Entlastung, Schadloshaltung und Versicherung, einschlie脽lich vertraglicher Entsch盲digungen und Versicherungen f眉r Organmitglieder, sowie eine maximale kumulative Entsch盲digungsobergrenze von 25 % des Eigenkapitals der Aktion盲re (konsolidiert, auf Basis der zuletzt vorgelegten Abschl眉sse). Zudem weist die Einreichung auf die Auffassung der SEC hin, dass Entsch盲digungen f眉r Haftungen nach dem Securities Act gegen die 枚ffentliche Ordnung versto脽en und daher nicht durchsetzbar sind.

Positive
  • Registers the 2022 Share Option Plan enabling the company to grant equity awards to employees under a formal SEC-registered plan
  • Incorporation by reference of recent Form 20-F and multiple Form 6-Ks provides investors access to underlying disclosure without duplicative prospectus text
  • Clear indemnification framework with an explicit aggregate cap (25% of consolidated shareholders' equity) increases contractual transparency
Negative
  • Form S-8 is administrative and does not disclose aggregate number or value of securities being registered within the body of the filing
  • SEC view that indemnification for Securities Act liabilities is unenforceable means certain indemnity protections described cannot be relied upon for Securities Act claims
  • Item 4 and Item 5 marked Not Applicable, offering limited in-statement description of the securities and named experts or counsel interests

Insights

TL;DR: Routine employee equity registration; limited investor impact but clarifies indemnification scope and incorporates recent SEC filings.

The Form S-8 registers awards under the companys 2022 Share Option Plan and relies on incorporation by reference to provide substantive disclosures rather than repeating them within the prospectus delivered to participants. For investors, the filing is largely administrative; it enables option grants to employees but does not itself change capital structure until awards are issued and exercised. The explicit 25% shareholders equity indemnification cap for office holders is notable as a material contractual limit disclosed here, while the filing also reiterates that indemnification for Securities Act liabilities is considered unenforceable by the SEC.

TL;DR: Governance disclosures align with Israeli Companies Law and standard practice for S-8 registrations; indemnity mechanics are clearly stated.

The registration statement details exculpation, indemnification and insurance provisions permitted by Israeli law and incorporated into the amended articles of association, and confirms that indemnification arrangements must be approved by the compensation committee, board and, where required, shareholders. The filing also states that indemnification agreements with current office holders replace prior letters and cap aggregate indemnity at 25% of consolidated shareholders equity as measured by the most recent financials. These disclosures provide clarity on director/officer protections but do not signal any present litigation or claims.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law 1999 (the “Companies Law”), a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our amended articles of association include such a provision. A company may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising from a breach of his or her duty of care in connection with a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.
 
As permitted under the Companies Law, our amended articles of association provide that we may indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either in advance of an event or following an event:
 

 •
a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party under a judgment, including a judgment by way of compromise or a judgment of an arbitrator approved by a court. However, such undertaking will be limited to the kinds of events that in the Board’s opinion are foreseeable at the time of the issue of the undertaking and will be limited to the amount fixed by the Board as reasonable under the circumstances, and the kinds of events and the amount will be mentioned in such undertaking in writing.
 

 •
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the office holder due to an inquiry he or she was under or a proceeding filed against him or her by an authority, that ended without filing a charge sheet and without having incurred any monetary liability as an alternative to the criminal proceedings, or that ended without filing a charge sheet but with an imposition of a monetary liability as an alternative to the criminal proceedings in a offense not requiring proof of criminal intent.
 

 •
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the office holder or charged to him or her by the court, in a proceeding filed against him or her by or on behalf of the company or by any other person, or for a criminal charge from which he was acquitted or for a criminal charge in which he or she was found guilty of an offense not requiring proof of criminal intent.
 
As permitted under the Companies Law, our amended articles of association provide that we may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder:
 

 •
a breach of duty of care by an office holder owed to the Company or any other person.
 

 •
a breach of fiduciary duty by any office holder owed to the Company, provided that such office holder or officer acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to assume that the action would not harm the interests of the Company.
 

 •
a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party due to activities carried out in his or her capacity as an office holder.
 
Under the Companies Law, a company may not indemnify, exculpate or insure an office holder against any of the following:
 

 •
a breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification and insurance for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
 

 •
a breach of duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
 

 •
an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or
 

 •
a fine or forfeit levied against the office holder.
3

Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors and, with respect to directors or controlling shareholders, their relatives and third parties in which controlling shareholders have a personal interest, also by the shareholders.
 
Our amended articles of association permit us to exempt, indemnify and insure our office holders as permitted by law. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding involving any of our office holders, including our directors, in which indemnification is sought.
 
We have entered into agreements with each of our current office holders exculpating them from a breach of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to limited exceptions, and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by insurance. This indemnification is limited, with respect to any monetary liability imposed in favor of a third party, to events determined as foreseeable by the board of directors based on our activities. The maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that we may pay to our office holders based on such indemnification agreement is 25% of our shareholders’ equity on a consolidated basis, based on our most recent financial statements made publicly available before the date on which the indemnity payment is made. Such indemnification amounts are in addition to any insurance amounts. These indemnification agreements will supersede all previous letters of indemnification that we have provided to him or her in the past, if any. However, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification of office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
 
(a)          The Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)          To file, during any period in which offers, or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i)          To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)          To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
4
 
(iii)          To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S‑8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
 
(2)          That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post‑effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3)          To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(b)          The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c)          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
