Other Events.

 

On March 1, 2019, Microbot Medical Inc.

The rescission would require the investors to transfer back to the Company the shares they purchased in that offering, and the Company to return to those investors their purchase price of $3.375 million. The litigation, captioned Sabby Healthcare Master Fund Ltd. and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund Ltd., Plaintiffs, against Microbot Medical Inc., has been previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
