EXPLANATORY NOTE
On April 9, 2024, Riskified Ltd.’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a “distribution”, as defined in the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the “Companies Law”), by way of a continuation of the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase (buyback) an aggregate amount of up to $75 million of the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Distribution”). The Distribution and the repurchases are a continuation of the Company’s existing $75 million share repurchase program which was otherwise scheduled to expire in May 2024. The existing program was previously approved by the Board in August 2023 and by the Tel Aviv District Court Economic Department in November 2023 and is partially utilized as of the date hereof.
According to Section 7C.(C) of the Companies Regulations (Relief for Companies Whose Securities Are Listed for Trading on Foreign Stock Exchanges) 2000, the Company’s creditors may apply to the Company and object to the Distribution, within 30 days following its publication.
Any share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, including through trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws. The Company may repurchase all or a portion of the authorized amount. The timing, as well as the number and value of any shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion under the Board authorized program and will depend on a variety of factors, including management’s assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company’s ordinary shares, the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, alternative investment opportunities, and applicable legal requirements. The Distribution does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of ordinary shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The share repurchases will be funded from existing cash and cash equivalents. This notice is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
The information in this Report on Form 6-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
