Microbot Medical Inc.: Form 10-K for the period ended Dec 31, 2025

Overview

Microbot is a medical device company specializing in the research, design and development of next generation robotic endoluminal surgery devices targeting the minimally invasive surgery space. We are primarily focused on leveraging our robotic technologies with the goal of redefining surgical robotics while improving surgical outcomes for patients.

Using our LIBERTY® technological platform, we have developed the first-ever fully disposable robot for various endovascular interventional procedures. The LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System is designed to maneuver guidewires and over-the-wire devices (such as microcatheters) within the body’s vasculature. It is intended for the remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires and catheters, and remote manipulation of guide catheters to facilitate navigation to anatomical targets, with the current intention to focus in the peripheral vasculature market. It is designed to eliminate the need for extensive capital equipment requiring dedicated Cath-lab rooms as well as dedicated staff.

Technological Platforms

LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System

The FDA-cleared LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System features a unique compact, single-use design with the capability to be operated remotely, reduce radiation exposure and physical strain to the physician, as well as the potential to eliminate the use of consumables.

The LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System is designed to maneuver guidewires and over-the-wire devices (such as microcatheters) within the body’s vasculature. It eliminates the need for extensive capital equipment requiring dedicated Cath-lab rooms as well as dedicated staff, when compared to other robotic systems.

We believe the addressable markets for the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System in its current version includes the peripheral interventional radiology market, with future versions expected to include the Interventional Cardiology and Interventional Neuroradiology markets.

The unique characteristics of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System - compact, mobile, disposable and remotely controlled – also may open the opportunity of expanding telerobotic interventions to patients with limited access to life-saving procedures.

The LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System is being designed to have the following attributes:

• Compact size - Eliminates the need for large capital equipment in dedicated cath-lab rooms with dedicated staff.
• Fully disposable - To our knowledge, the first fully disposable robotic system for endovascular procedures.
• One & Done® - Has the potential to be compatible with our NovaCross® products or possibly other instruments that combines guidewire and microcatheter into a single device. We are currently evaluating this combination in different applications.
• State of the art maneuverability - Provides linear and rotational control of its guidewire, as well as linear and rotational control of a guide catheter, and the linear motion for an additional microcatheter (“over the wire”) device.
• Compatibility with a wide range of commercially-available guidewires, microcatheters and guide-catheters.
• Enhanced operator safety and comfort - Aims to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation and reduce physical strain due to the need for heavy lead vests otherwise to be worn during procedures.
• Ease of use - A remote control designed to be intuitive aims to simplify advanced procedures while shortening the physician’s learning curve.
• Telemedicine capability – May serve as a platform for supporting tele-catheterization, carried out remotely by highly trained specialists. The Company’s research collaboration with Corewell Health™ has demonstrated the feasibility of using the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System between separate and remote facilities in a coronary simulation model. The project assesses the feasibility of using LIBERTY® to perform simulated cardiovascular interventional procedures across two sites within the Corewell Health™ system located 5 miles apart. The telesurgery feature of LIBERTY® is still being evaluated and is not covered under the Company’s 510(k) clearance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).

On August 13, 2024, we announced that we received ISO 13485:2016 certification for our quality management system. Receiving ISO 13485 certification indicates that a company has developed and implemented robust policies and procedures for the development and manufacture of regulated medical products. This is a certification ensuring compliance with the Quality Management System (QMS) requirements of the EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR 2017/745) and supporting our future CE Mark approval, and ultimately allowing us to market the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System in Europe as well as other regions who accept the CE Mark. We anticipate CE Mark approval in the second half of 2026. However, we can give no assurance that we will meet this or any other projected milestones, if ever. In addition, in view of recent FDA quality system management regulations and its incorporation by reference of the ISO 13485 standard, we believe it will help streamline our transition into this revised FDA regulation.

On September 8, 2025, we announced that the FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System, and in November 2025, we announced the limited market release of LIBERTY® to selected high procedure volume regions where we already experienced preliminary demand for the product. The Company is planning for its full market release at the Society of Interventional Radiology conference in April 2026.

The Company entered into an agreement with Emory University, which will allow the parties to evaluate and explore the potential for a future collaboration in connection with autonomous robotics in endovascular procedures. Under the terms of the agreement, Emory University will assume the responsibility of exploring the feasibility of integrating the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System with an imaging system to create an autonomous robotic system for endovascular procedures. In November 2025, we announced that Emory University Hospital adopted LIBERTY® for patient care, and that we are collaborating with it to establish an Endovascular Robotics Program in interventional radiology.

NovaCross®

On October 6, 2022, we purchased substantially all of the assets, including intellectual property, devices, components and product related materials of Nitiloop Ltd., an Israeli limited liability company. The assets include intellectual property and technology in the field of intraluminal revascularization devices with anchoring mechanism and integrated microcatheter, and the products or potential products incorporating the technology owned by Nitiloop and designated by Nitiloop as “NovaCross”, “NovaCross Xtreme” and “NovaCross BTK” and any enhancements, modifications and improvements.

Industry Overview

Minimally Invasive Robot-Assisted Endovascular Interventions

Minimally Invasive Surgery, or MIS, refers to surgical procedures performed through tiny incisions instead of a single large opening. Because the incisions are small, patients tend to have quicker recovery times and experience less trauma than with conventional surgery. The global MIS surgery is expected to grow from $24 billion in 2020 to $42 billion in 2026, representing a CAGR of 9.85%. MIS involves three major categories of devices: surgical, monitoring and visualization, and endoscopy. The market for surgical devices, including ablation, electrosurgery and medical robotic systems, accounts for the largest share of revenue and is also expected to show the highest rate of growth. According to Precedence Research, the global market for robotic surgery is projected to continue its growth with a CAGR of 15.6% from 2025 to 2034.

Vascular disease is the most common precursor to ischemic heart disease and stroke, which are two of the leading causes of death worldwide. Advances in endovascular intervention in recent years have transformed patient survival rates and post-surgical quality of life. It is estimated that more than three million percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and over two million of peripheral vascular interventions are performed annually worldwide. The incidence of stroke in the U.S. alone is estimated at 900,000 cases annually. Compared to open surgery, it has the advantages of faster recovery, reduced need for general anesthesia, reduced blood loss and significantly lower mortality. However, the current practice of endovascular procedures, which virtually has remained unchanged since the introduction of Intervention four decades ago, is limited by a number of factors, including physical strain and exposure to X-Ray radiation of the operator, and involves complex maneuvering of intervention tools, such as guidewires and catheters, to reach target areas in the vasculature. Despite recent advancements in technology and devices, manual procedures are still highly dependent on the technical skills and training of the operator, which makes the access to expert medical centers and advanced emergent treatments, such as endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke, geographically limited. In addition, we believe that demand for physicians continues to grow faster than supply.

Endovascular robotic systems are aimed to increase the stability and precision of guidewires and catheters, protecting the physicians from ionizing radiation and physical strain by removing them from the radiation source, helping in closing shortages of skilled physicians and skill gaps and enable tele-interventions (e.g. the Hub & Spoke hospital model).

Today, there are only a few commercially available robotic systems for endovascular interventions. We believe these systems have major drawbacks, such as limited maneuverability, the requirement to exchange and use multiple expensive surgical tools, being cumbersome to set-up and operate, and requiring significant up-front capital expenditures.

Microbot believes that with the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System, it is well-positioned to deliver a value-added endovascular robotic system, with a focus on improving the ease and access and enhancing the safety of endovascular interventions.

Strategy

Microbot’s goal is to establish the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System as the standard-of-care in the eyes of medical practitioners, patients and medical facilities, as well as getting the support of payors and insurance companies. Microbot believes that it can achieve this objective by working with health care providers and systems to demonstrate the key benefits of its products. Microbot’s strategy includes the following key elements:

• Expand our global commercial footprint to establish LIBERTY® as the standard of care for robotic endovascular procedures in targeted accounts. We seek to partner with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to conduct post-market clinical research and develop centers of excellence that are capable of educating and training future users.
• Continue to refine LIBERTY® and develop additional surgical robotic solutions. Microbot also expects to continue to innovate in the surgical robotics field by continuing to find ways of using its core technology to solve unmet needs, with the overarching goal of providing a safer, more effective and more efficient surgical environment for patients and physicians.
• Continuously invest in research and development. Microbot’s most significant expense has historically been research and development, and Microbot expects to continue investing in research and development activities, including expenses it expects to incur to improve LIBERTY® and any other prototype products it may have from time to time in order to respond to clinical data, to develop additional applications using its technologies and to develop future product candidates.
• Explore partnerships for the introduction of Microbot’s products. In parallel to its efforts to establish direct sales and marketing capabilities, Microbot intends to continue its efforts on pursuing collaborations with global medical device companies that have established sales and distribution networks. Microbot will seek to enter collaborations and partnerships with strategic players that offer synergies with Microbot’s product candidates and expertise.
• Seek additional IP and technologies to complement and strengthen Microbot’s current IP portfolio. Microbot intends to continue exploring new technologies, IP and know-how to add to its current portfolio through licensing, mergers and/or acquisitions and to allow Microbot to enter new spaces and strengthen its overall product portfolio.

Competition

LIBERTY® Competitive Landscape

We believe the main competitor to the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System is the CorPath GRX vascular robotics system by Corindus Vascular Robotics, a Siemens Healthineers company. To our knowledge, CorPath GRX system is FDA-approved and CE-marked for percutaneous coronary and vascular procedures, and is CE-marked for neurovascular interventions. Another competitor is R-One+ by Robocath (CE Marked, NMPA, South Africa for PCI only), and we believe there are many other competitors in the endovascular robotics space that are current in development. We believe these systems of our competitors that we have identified have drawbacks, such as limited maneuverability, the requirement to exchange and use multiple expensive surgical tools, requiring a larger space to operate, being cumbersome to set-up and operate, and/or requiring significant upfront capital expenditures. We also expect that we could be competing with other technologies that are in different stages of development, including preclinical, clinical and without CE/FDA approvals, such as LN Robotics (approved in Korea for coronary interventions) Nanoflex Robotics, UAB Inovatyvi medicina and Endoways, of which additional competitive data will be required to better determine their respective positioning in the competitive landscape.

Microbot’s existing and planned products could also be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by technological advances developed in the future by existing or new competitors. Some of Microbot’s competitors currently have significantly greater resources than Microbot does; have established relationships with healthcare professionals, customers and third-party payors; and have long-term contracts with group purchasing organizations in the United States. In addition, some of Microbot’s competitors have established distributor networks, greater resources for product development, sales and marketing, additional lines of products and the ability to offer financial incentives such as rebates, bundled products or discounts on other product lines that Microbot cannot provide.

Intellectual Property

General

The LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System’s core technology is co-owned by Microbot Medical® and The Technion Research and Development Foundation Ltd., or TRDF. The NovaCross® device is based on technologies acquired by Microbot from Nitiloop Ltd. Microbot may develop other medical-robotic solutions through internal research and development, to strengthen its intellectual property position, and to continue exploring strategic collaborations and accretive acquisition opportunities. Microbot currently holds an intellectual property portfolio of 29 patents issued/allowed and 52 patent applications pending worldwide. Microbot also holds 14 design patents issued/allowed worldwide. It also has registered trademarks in Israel, Europe, UK and the U.S. relating to the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System, and also has trademarks relating to its proprietary Microbot Medical® wordmark registered in the U.S., Israel, Europe, and UK, and Microbot Medical logo registered in Israel, Europe, and UK. Microbot also has a trademark relating to the Liberty Endovascular Robotic Surgical System logo registered in Israel and pending in the U.S., Europe, UK, and Japan. In addition to having registered trademarks for the “One & Done” wordmark in Israel, Europe, the U.S., UK, and Japan. Microbot also has a registered trademark in the U.S. for the NovaCross trademark.

Microbot relies or intends to rely on intellectual property licensed or developed, including patents, trade secrets, trademarks, technical innovations, laws of unfair competition and various licensing agreements, to provide its future growth, to build its competitive position and to protect its technology. As Microbot continues to expand its intellectual property portfolio, it is critical for Microbot to continue to invest in filing patent applications to protect its technology, inventions, and improvements.

Microbot requires its employees and consultants to execute confidentiality agreements in connection with their employment or consulting relationships with Microbot. Microbot also requires its employees and consultants who work on its product candidates to agree to disclose and assign to Microbot all inventions conceived during the term of their service, while using Microbot property, or which relate to Microbot’s business.

Patent applications in the United States and in foreign countries are maintained in secrecy for a period of time after filing, which results in a delay between the filing date of the patent applications and the time when they are published. Patents issued and patent applications filed relating to medical devices are numerous, and there can be no assurance that current and potential competitors and other third parties have not filed or in the future will not file applications for, or have not received or in the future will not receive, patents or obtain additional proprietary rights relating to product candidates, products, devices or processes used or proposed to be used by Microbot. Microbot believes that the technologies it employs in its products and systems do not infringe the valid claims of any third-party patents. There can be no assurance, however, that third parties will not seek to assert that Microbot devices and systems infringe their patents or seek to expand their patent claims to cover aspects of Microbot’s products and systems.

The medical device industry in general has been characterized by substantial litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Any such claims, regardless of their merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to respond to and could divert Microbot’s technical and management personnel. Microbot may be involved in litigation to defend against claims of infringement by other patent holders, to enforce patents issued to Microbot, or to protect Microbot’s trade secrets. If any relevant claims of third-party patents are upheld as valid and enforceable in any litigation or administrative proceeding, Microbot could be prevented from practicing the subject matter claimed in such patents, or would be required to obtain licenses from the patent owners of each such patent, or to redesign Microbot’s products, devices or processes to avoid infringement. There can be no assurance that such licenses would be available or, if available, would be available on terms acceptable to Microbot or that Microbot would be successful in any attempt to redesign products or processes to avoid infringement. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses, could potentially prevent Microbot from manufacturing and selling its products.

Microbot’s issued U.S. patents, which cover Microbot’s product candidates, will expire between 2032 and 2040, not including any patent term adjustments that may be available. Issued patents outside of the United States directed to Microbot’s product candidates will expire between 2032 and 2040.

License Agreement with the Technion

In June 2012, Microbot entered into a license agreement with TRDF, the technology transfer subsidiary of The Technion Institute of Technology, pursuant to which it obtained an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, sub-licensable license to certain patents and inventions relating to the SCS and TipCAT technology platforms invented by Professor Moshe Shoham, a former director of and an advisor to the Company, and in certain circumstances other TRDF-related persons. During the second and third quarters of 2023, as a result of our core-business focus program and related cost reductions, we ceased research and development activities relating to the SCS and TipCat platforms. As a result, we returned intellectual property relating to the SCS (ViRob) and TipCat to TRDF.

The LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System, which was invented by employees of Microbot together with Professor Moshe Shoham of the Technion, in his capacity as a consultant to Microbot, is co-owned by Microbot and TRDF, and the parties established the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System as a “Joint Invention” in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement. Once the Joint Invention is established pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Microbot will have to pay TRDF royalties of between 1.5% and 3.0% of net sales of products covered by this Joint Invention.

Research and Development

Microbot’s research and development programs are generally pursued by engineers and scientists employed by Microbot in its offices in Israel on a full-time or hourly basis or as consultants, or through partnerships with industry leaders in manufacturing and design and researchers in academia. Microbot also works with subcontractors in developing specific components of its technologies.

The primary objectives of Microbot’s research and development efforts are to continue to introduce incremental enhancements to the capabilities of its candidate products and to advance the development of proposed products.

Microbot Israel has received grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”) for participation in research and development since 2013 through December 31, 2025 totaling approximately $2.5 million. This includes amounts received of approximately $518,000, which is a portion of an additional grant from the IIA in the amount of approximately NIS 2,153,000 (approximately $673,000) approved by the IIA on July 15, 2025, to further finance the development of the manufacturing process of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System.

As a result of the agreement with Nitiloop, on October 6, 2022, Microbot Israel took over the liability to repay Nitiloop’s IIA grants in the aggregate amount of approximately $925,000.

In relation to the IIA grants described above, the Company is obligated to pay royalties amounting to 3%-5% of its future sales of the products relating to such grants.

The grants are linked to the exchange rate of the dollar to the New Israeli Shekel and bears interest of SOFR per year (SOFR is a benchmark interest rate which replaced LIBOR).

The repayment of the grants is contingent upon the successful completion of the Company’s research and development programs and generating sales. The Company has no obligation to repay these grants, if the project fails, is unsuccessful or aborted or if no sales are generated. The financial risk is assumed completely by the Government of Israel. The grants are received from the Government on a project-by-project basis.

As of December 31, 2025 the Company received grants from the Ministry of Economy of the State of Israel in the amount of approximately $50,000, to further finance the marketing activities of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System in the U.S. market.

In relation with the Ministry of Economy grant, the Company is obligated to pay royalties amounting to 3% of future sales of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System up to the grant amount plus interest.

Microbot expects to continue to access government funding in the future to the extent available.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, Microbot incurred research and development expenses, net of approximately $6,283,000 and 6,630,000.

Manufacturing

Microbot does not have any manufacturing facilities. Microbot currently relies, and expects to continue to rely, on third parties for the manufacturing of its product candidates for preclinical and clinical testing, as well as for commercial manufacturing if its product candidates receive marketing approval.

During 2022 Microbot initiated the transfer to production by means of designing and building molds for plastic injection of parts which is a more cost-effective method for producing high quantities compared to conventional machined production of these parts. Some molds are already operative while others are being designed and built. We expect completion of all molds during 2026.

On August 4, 2023, we signed a Turn-Key Manufacturing Agreement with a subcontractor that is suited to assemble and test our products under applicable regulatory requirements and regulations. As of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are working with the subcontractor to increase its production capacity, as we plan for the full market release of LIBERTY® expected in April 2026.

Commercialization

In 2025, Microbot established a sales, marketing and product distribution infrastructure for the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System in the U.S.

In November 2025, we announced the limited market release of LIBERTY® to selected high procedure volume regions where we already experienced preliminary demand for the product. Since then, we have announced that Emory University Hospital and Tampa General Hospital have adopted LIBERTY for patient care. The Company is planning for its full market release at the Society of Interventional Radiology conference in April 2026.

Microbot has not yet developed a commercial strategy outside of the United States, but it most likely would utilize distributors and strategic partnerships.

Middle East Conflict

Subsequent to the reporting period, on February 28, 2026, an Israeli military operation referred to as “Epic-Fury” commenced with a large-scale attack on Iran carried out in coordination with the United States. In response, Iran launched a counterattack that included the firing of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles toward military and civilian targets in Israel. Additionally, Hezbollah, a terrorist organization in Lebanon, joined the attacks against Israel and Israel has started military operations in Lebanon.

As a result, a special state of emergency was declared in Israel, which included, among other things, the closure of Israel’s airspace, restrictions on public gatherings, temporary closures and/or reduced operating hours of businesses, and the mobilization of military reservists, which have resulted in reduced economic activity.

We have considered various ongoing risks relating to these and other Israeli military operations and related matters, including:

• That some of our Israeli subcontractors, vendors, suppliers and other companies in which the Company relies, may not be fully active and operational, as instructed by the relevant authorities;
• A slowdown in the number of international flights in and out of Israel;
• The decreasing international regard for Israeli-based companies in certain quarters, including as a result of the Israeli government’s policies in Gaza and the West Bank in particular, and the Middle East in general; and
• Possible and actual boycotts of Israel and Israeli-based companies, which may adversely affect our ability to do business in certain jurisdictions or with certain industry groups or potential customers, among others.

We closely monitor how these and other Israeli military operations and related activities could adversely affect our anticipated milestones and our Israel-based activities to support future commercial, clinical and regulatory milestones, including our ability to import materials that are required to construct our LIBERTY® devices and to ship them outside of Israel. In addition, we are also monitoring how negative international reaction to the events in Gaza, the West Bank, Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East could create a corresponding negative perception of companies with Israeli operations, which if broad enough, could negatively impact our business. As of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have determined that there have not been any materially adverse effects on our business or operations, but we continue to monitor the situation, as in the event that the situation escalates into an even greater regional conflict or our Israeli facilities are damaged as a result of hostile actions, or hostilities otherwise disrupt our Israeli office’s support of our commercial, clinical and regulatory activities, our Israeli operations could be materially and adversely affected. We do not have any specific contingency plans in the event of any such escalation or change.

Government Regulation

General

Microbot’s medical technology products and operations are subject to extensive regulation in the United States and other countries. Most notably, Microbot’s products sold in the United States will be subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) as implemented and enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA regulates the development, bench and clinical testing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, record-keeping, promotion, marketing, sales, distribution and post-market support and reporting of medical devices in the United States to ensure that medical products distributed domestically are safe and effective for their intended uses. Regulatory policy affecting its products can change at any time.

Advertising and promotion of medical devices in the United States, in addition to being regulated by the FDA, are also regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and by state regulatory and enforcement authorities. Recently, promotional activities for FDA-regulated products of other companies have been the subject of enforcement action brought under healthcare reimbursement laws and consumer protection statutes. In addition, under the federal Lanham Act and similar state laws, competitors and others can initiate litigation relating to advertising claims.

Foreign countries where Microbot wishes to sell its products may require similar or more onerous approvals to manufacture or market its products. Government agencies in those countries also enforce laws and regulations that govern the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, advertising, marketing and distribution, and market surveillance of medical device products. These regulatory requirements can change rapidly with relatively short notice.

Other regulations Microbot encounters in the United States and in other jurisdictions are the regulations that are common to all businesses, such as employment legislation, implied warranty laws, and environmental, health and safety standards, to the extent applicable. In the future, Microbot will also encounter industry-specific government regulations that would govern its products, if and when they are developed for commercial use.

U.S. Regulation

The FDA governs the following activities that Microbot performs, or that are performed on its behalf, to ensure that medical products distributed domestically or exported internationally are safe and effective for their intended uses:

• product design, and development;
• product safety, testing, labeling and storage;
• record keeping procedures; and
• product marketing.

7

There are numerous FDA regulatory requirements governing the approval or clearance and subsequent commercial marketing of Microbot’s products. These include:

• the timely submission of product listing and establishment registration information, along with associated establishment user fees;
• continued compliance with the Quality Management System Regulation, or QMSR, which require specification developers and manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the manufacturing process, and incorporates as a reference the ISO 13485 standard for medical device;
• labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved or off-label use or indication;
• clearance or approval of product modifications that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device or that would constitute a major change in intended use;
• Medical Device Reporting regulations (MDR), which require that manufacturers keep detailed records of investigations or complaints against their devices and to report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur;
• adequate use of the Corrective and Preventive Actions process to identify and correct or prevent significant systemic failures of products or processes or in trends which suggest same;
• post-approval restrictions or conditions, including post-approval study commitments;
• post-market surveillance regulations, which apply when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device; and
• notices of correction or removal and recall regulations.

Unless an exemption applies, before Microbot can commercially distribute medical devices in the United States, Microbot must obtain, depending on the classification of the device, either prior 510(k) clearance, 510(k) de-novo clearance or premarket approval (PMA), from the FDA. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes based on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of regulatory controls needed to ensure the device’s safety and effectiveness:

• Class I devices, which are low risk and subject to only general controls (e.g., registration and listing, medical device labeling compliance, MDRs, Quality System Regulations, and prohibitions against adulteration and misbranding) and, in some cases, to the 510(k) premarket clearance requirements;
• Class II devices, which are moderate risk and generally require 510(k) or 510(k) de-novo premarket clearance before they may be commercially marketed in the United States as well as general controls and potentially special controls like performance standards or specific labeling requirements; and
• Class III devices, which are devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a predicate device. Class III devices generally require the submission and approval of a PMA supported by clinical trial data.

The LIBERTY device is a classified as Class II, and received 510(k) premarket clearance in 2025. Microbot expects future medical products in its pipeline currently to be classified as Class II or possibly Class III. Class II devices are those for which general controls alone are insufficient to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness and there is sufficient information to establish special controls. Special controls can include performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient histories and FDA guidance documents. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for these devices is generally accomplished through the 510(k) or 510(k) de-novo premarket notification process. As part of the 510(k) or 510(k) de-novo notification process, FDA may require the following:

• Development of comprehensive product description and indications for use;
• Comprehensive review of predicate devices and development of data supporting the new product’s substantial equivalence to one or more predicate devices; and
• If appropriate and required, certain types of clinical trials (IDE submission and approval may be required for conducting a clinical trial in the U.S.).

8

Clinical trials involve use of the medical device on human subjects under the supervision of qualified investigators in accordance with current Good Clinical Practices (GCPs), including the requirement that all research subjects provide informed consent for their participation in the clinical study. A written protocol with predefined end points, an appropriate sample size and pre-determined patient inclusion and exclusion criteria, is required before initiating and conducting a clinical trial. All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s Investigational device Exemption, or IDE, regulations that among other things, govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the investigational device, and specify recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. If the device presents a “significant risk,” as defined by the FDA, the agency requires the device sponsor to submit an IDE application, which must become effective prior to commencing human clinical trials.

Description of the IDE process. The IDE will become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA otherwise informs the sponsor prior to the 30-day period that the IDE is approved, approved with conditions, or disapproved. If the FDA determines that additional information is required, the FDA may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a conditional approval. In case of disapproval, the Company can continue its existing IDE process interaction with the FDA, and supply FDA with additional information to obtain approval or conditional approval. In addition, the study must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an Institutional Review Board (IRB) for each clinical site. If the device presents a non-significant risk to the patient, a sponsor may begin the clinical trial after obtaining approval for the trial by one or more IRBs without separate approval from the FDA, but it must still follow abbreviated IDE requirements, such as monitoring the investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent, and labeling and record-keeping requirements. See “-Recent Developments-FDA Approval to Proceed with Pivotal Human Clinical Trial” above.

510(k) clearance typically involves the following:

• Assuming successful completion of all required testing, a detailed 510(k) premarket notification or 510(k) de-novo is submitted to the FDA requesting clearance to market the product. The notification includes all relevant data from pertinent preclinical and clinical trials, together with detailed information relating to the product’s manufacturing controls and proposed labeling, and other relevant documentation.
• A 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA will authorize commercial marketing of the device for one or more specific indications for use.
• After 510(k) clearance, Microbot will be required to comply with a number of post-clearance requirements, including, but not limited to, Medical Device Reporting and complaint handling, and, if applicable, reporting of corrective actions. Also, quality control and manufacturing procedures must continue to conform to QMSRs. The FDA periodically inspects manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with QMSRs, which impose extensive procedural, substantive, and record keeping requirements on medical device manufacturers. In addition, changes to the manufacturing process are strictly regulated, and, depending on the change, validation activities may need to be performed. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with QMSRs and other types of regulatory controls.
• After a device receives 510(k) clearance from the FDA, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use or technological characteristics, requires a new 510(k) clearance or could require a PMA. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make the determination of whether a modification requires a new 510(k) notification or PMA in the first instance, but the FDA can review any such decision. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s decision not to seek a new 510(k) clearance or PMA for a particular change, the FDA may retroactively require the manufacturer to seek 510(k) clearance or PMA. The FDA can also require the manufacturer to cease U.S. marketing and/or recall the modified device until additional 510(k) clearance or PMA approval is obtained.
• The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, will also regulate the advertising claims of Microbot’s products to ensure that the claims Microbot makes are consistent with its regulatory clearances, that there is scientific data to substantiate the claims and that product advertising is neither false nor misleading.

To obtain 510(k) clearance, Microbot must submit a notification to the FDA demonstrating that its proposed device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device (i.e., a device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class I or Class II, or a 510(k)-cleared device). The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process generally takes from three to 12 months from the date the application is submitted but also can take significantly longer. If the FDA determines that the device or its intended use is not substantially equivalent to a predicate device, the device is automatically placed into Class III, requiring the submission of a PMA.

There is no guarantee that the FDA will grant Microbot 510(k) clearance for its pipeline medical device products, and failure to obtain the necessary clearances for its products would adversely affect Microbot’s ability to grow its business. Delays in receipt or failure to receive the necessary clearances, or the failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements, could reduce its business prospects.

Devices that cannot be cleared through the 510(k) process due to lack of a predicate device but would be considered low or moderate risk may be eligible for the 510(k) de-novo process. In 1997, the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act, or FDAMA added the de novo classification pathway now codified in section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act. This law established an alternate pathway to classify new devices into Class I or II that had automatically been placed in Class III after receiving a Not Substantially Equivalent, or NSE, determination in response to a 510(k) submission. Through this regulatory process, a sponsor who receives an NSE determination may, within 30 days of receipt, request FDA to make a risk-based classification of the device through what is called a “de novo request.” In 2012, section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act was amended by section 607 of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), in order to provide a second option for de novo classification. Under this second pathway, a sponsor who determines that there is no legally marketed device upon which to base a determination of substantial equivalence can submit a de novo request to FDA without first submitting a 510(k).

In the event that Microbot receives a Not Substantially Equivalent determination for any future device candidates in response to a 510(k) submission, the Microbot device may still be eligible for the 510(k) de-novo classification process.

Devices that cannot be cleared through the 510(k) or 510(k) de-novo classification process require the submission of a PMA. The PMA process is much more time consuming and demanding than the 510(k) notification process. A PMA must be supported by extensive data, including but not limited to data obtained from preclinical and/or clinical studies and data relating to manufacturing and labeling, to demonstrate to the FDA’s satisfaction the safety and effectiveness of the device. After a PMA application is submitted, the FDA’s in-depth review of the information generally takes between one and three years and may take significantly longer. If the FDA does not grant 510(k) clearance to its products, there is no guarantee that Microbot will submit a PMA or that if Microbot does, that the FDA would grant a PMA approval of Microbot’s products, either of which would adversely affect Microbot’s business.

Foreign Regulation

In addition to regulations in the United States, Microbot will be subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials, marketing authorization and commercial sales and distribution of its products in foreign countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval or clearance. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary greatly from country to country.

International sales of medical devices are subject to foreign governmental regulations which vary substantially from country to country. Whether or not Microbot obtains FDA approval or clearance for its products, Microbot will be required to make new regulatory submissions to the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before Microbot can commence clinical trials or marketing of the product in such countries. The time required to obtain certification or approval by a foreign country may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA clearance or approval, and the requirements may differ. Below are summaries of the regulatory systems for medical devices in Europe and Israel, where Microbot currently anticipates marketing its products. However, its products may also be marketed in other countries that have different systems or minimal requirements for medical devices.

Europe. The primary regulatory body in Europe is the European Union, or E.U., which consists of 27 member states and has a coordinated system for the authorization of medical devices.

The E.U. has adopted regulations concerning the regulation of medical devices within the European Union. The regulations include, among others, the Medical Device Regulation, or MDR, that establishes certain requirements with which medical devices must comply before they can be commercialized in the European Economic Area, or EEA (which comprises the member states of the E.U. plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland). Under the MDR, medical devices are classified into four Classes, I, IIa, IIb, and III, with Class I being the lowest risk and Class III being the highest risk.

In order to commercialize medical devices in the European Union, a CE Mark certificate is needed. This certification verifies that a device meets all regulatory requirements for medical devices under the new Medical Devices Regulation (MDR 2017/745). The CE approval process in Europe is summarized below:

1. To obtain CE Marking certification, comply with European Commission Regulation (EU) No. 2017/745, commonly known as the Medical Device Regulation (MDR).

2. Appoint a Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC). Determine classification of device - Class I (self-certified); Class I (sterile, measuring or reusable surgical instrument); Class IIa (which LIBERTY is considered), Class IIb, or Class III.

3. For all devices, implement a Quality Management System (QMS) in accordance with the MDR. Companies usually apply the EN ISO 13485 standard to achieve initial compliance. The QMS must include Clinical Evaluation, Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) and Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) plans. Make arrangements with suppliers about unannounced Notified Body audits. For Class I (self-certified), implement a QMS though Notified Body intervention is not required.

4. Prepare a CE Technical Documentation or Design Dossier (Class III) providing information about the device and its intended use plus testing reports, Clinical Evaluation Report (CER), risk management file, Instruction For Use (IFU), labeling and more. Obtain a Unique Device Identifier (UDI) for the device. All devices, even legacy products in use for decades, will require clinical data. Most of these data should refer to the subject device. Clinical studies are generally required for implantable and Class III devices. Existing clinical data may be acceptable. Clinical trials in Europe must be pre-approved by a European Competent Authority.

5. If the company does not have a location in Europe, appoint an Authorized Representative (EC REP) located in the EU who is qualified to handle regulatory issues. Place the EC REP name and address on device label. Obtain a Single Registration Number from the regulators.

6. For all devices except Class I (self-certified), the QMS and Technical Documentation or Design Dossier must be audited by a Notified Body, a third-party accredited by European authorities to audit medical device companies and products.

7. For all devices except Class I (self-certified), the company will be issued a European CE Marking Certificate for the device and an ISO 13485 certificate for the company’s facility following successful completion of the Notified Body audit. ISO 13485 certification must be renewed every year. CE Marking certificates are typically valid for a maximum of 5 years, but are typically reviewed during the annual surveillance audit.

8. Prepare a Declaration of Conformity, a legally binding document prepared by the manufacturer stating that the device is in compliance with the applicable European requirements. At this time, the CE Marking may be affixed.

9. Register the device and its Unique Device Identifier (UDI) in the EUDAMED database. UDI must be on label and associated with the regulatory documents.

10. For Class I (self-certified), annual NB audits are not required. However, CER, Technical File, and PMS activities must be kept updated. For all other classes, the company will be audited each year by a Notified Body to ensure ongoing compliance with the MDR. Failure to pass the audit will invalidate the CE Marking certificate. The company must perform Clinical Evaluation, PMS, and PMCF.

Microbot applied for the CE Mark for LIBERTY. There is no guarantee that Microbot will be granted a CE Mark for LIBERTY or all or any of its future potential pipeline products. Failure to obtain the CE Mark would likely adversely affect Microbot’s ability to grow its business.

On October 24, 2023, we announced that we received confirmation for the commencement of the process to support our future CE Mark approval, and to ultimately allow us to market the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System in Europe as well as other regions who accept the CE Mark. In 2025, we engaged with a leading Notified Body and commenced audits for ISO 13485 certification to ensure basic compliance with the Quality Management System (QMS) requirements of the EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR 2017/745).

Israel. Israel’s Medical Devices Law generally requires the registration of all medical products with the Ministry of Health, or MOH, Registrar as a precondition for production and distribution in Israel. Special exemptions may apply under limited circumstances and for purposes such as the provision of essential medical treatment, research and development of the medical device, and personal use, among others.

Registration of medical devices requires the submission of an application to the Ministry of Health Medical Institutions and Devices Licensing Department, or AMAR. An application for the registration of a medical device includes the following:

• Name and address of the manufacturer, and of the importer as applicable;
• Description of the intended use of the medical device and of its medical indications;
• Technical details of the medical device and of its components, and in the event that the device or the components are not new, information should be provided on the date or renovation;
• Certificate attesting to the safety of the device, issued by a competent authority of one of the following countries: Australia, Canada, European Community (EC), Member States (MSs), Israel, Japan, or the United States;
• Information on any risk which may be associated with the use of the device (including precautionary measures to be taken);
• Instructions for use of the device in Hebrew; the MOH may allow the instructions to be in English for certain devices;
• Details of the standards to which the device complies;
• Description of the technical and maintenance services, including periodic checks and inspections; and
• Declaration, as appropriate: of the local manufacturer/importer, and of the foreign manufacturer.

If the application includes a certificate issued by a competent authority of one of the following “recognized” countries: Australia, Canada, European Community (CE) Member States (MSs), Japan, or the United States, the registration process is generally expedited, but could still take 6-9 months for approval. If such certificate is not available, the registration process will take significantly longer and a license is rarely issued. Furthermore, the MOH will determine what type of testing is needed. In general, in the case of Israeli manufactured devices that are not registered or authorized in any “recognized” country, the application requires presentation of a risk analysis, a clinical evaluation, a summary of the clinical trials, and expert opinions regarding the device’s safety and effectiveness. Additional requirements may apply during the registration period, including follow-up reviews, to improve the quality and safety of the devices.

According to regulations issued by Israel’s Minister of Health in June 2013, a decision on a request to register a medical device must be delivered by AMAR within 120 days from the date of the request, although this rarely occurs. The current rules for the registration of medical devices do not provide for an expedited approval process.

Once granted by the MOH, a license (marketing authorization) for a medical device is valid for five years from the date of registration of the device, except for implants with a life-supporting function, for which the validity is for only two years from the date of registration. Furthermore, the holder of the license, the Israeli Registration Holder, or IRH, must do the following to maintain its license:

• Reside and maintain a place of business in Israel and serve as the regulatory representative.
• Respond to questions from AMAR concerning the registered products.
• Report adverse events to AMAR.
• Renew the registration on time to keep the market approval active.

Comply with post-marketing requirements, including reporting of adverse and unexpected events occurring in Israel or in other countries where the device is in use.

Getting a device listed on Israel’s four major Sick Funds (health insurance entities) is also necessary in order for Israeli hospitals and health care providers to order such products.

Microbot has applied for a license from the MOH for the LIBERTY device, and it is awaiting the outcome of the registration process. There is no guarantee that Microbot will be granted licenses for the LIBERTY device or any future pipeline products and failure to obtain such licenses would adversely affect its ability to grow its business.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our business, operating results, financial performance, and share price may be materially adversely affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to the following risk factors, any one of which could cause actual results to vary materially from anticipated results or from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in other reports, press releases or other statements issued from time to time. Additional factors that may cause such a difference are set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements.

Risks Relating to Microbot’s Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital

Through December 31, 2025, Microbot has not recognized any revenues, and cannot make any assurances of generating significant revenues in the future. It is expected to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company may never become profitable or, if achieved, be able to sustain profitability.

Microbot has incurred significant operating losses since its inception and expects to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future as Microbot conducts sales and marketing operations for the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System and continues its research and development of any other future product candidates; and all other work necessary to obtain regulatory clearances or approvals for its products or product candidates in the United States and other markets. In the future, Microbot intends to continue conducting micro-robotics research and development; performing necessary animal and clinical testing; working towards medical device regulatory compliance; and engaging in appropriate sales and marketing activities that, together with anticipated sales, general and administrative expenses, will likely result in Microbot incurring further significant losses for the foreseeable future.

Microbot has not recognized any revenues from product sales through December 31, 2025, and does not anticipate generating significant revenues until it can successfully commercialize and sell the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or other future product candidates, of which Microbot can give no assurance. Even if Microbot or any of its future development partners, if any, succeed in commercializing the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System, Microbot may never generate revenues significant enough to achieve profitability.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or its product development pipeline and strategy, Microbot cannot accurately predict when it will achieve profitability, if ever. Failure to become and remain profitable would depress the value of the Company and could impair its ability to raise capital, which may force the Company to curtail or discontinue its ongoing research and development programs and/or day-to-day operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that profitability, if achieved, can be sustained on an ongoing basis.

Microbot has a limited operating history as a commercial-stage company since it ceased primarily being a research and development-stage company, which may make it difficult to evaluate the prospects for the Company’s future viability.

Microbot has a limited operating history as a commercial-stage company upon which an evaluation of its business plan or performance and prospects can be made. The business and prospects of Microbot must be considered in the light of the potential problems, delays, uncertainties and complications that may be encountered in connection with a newly established business. The risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that Microbot will not be able to develop functional and scalable products, or that although functional and scalable, its products will not be economical to market; that its competitors hold proprietary rights that may preclude Microbot from marketing such products; that its competitors market a superior or equivalent product; that Microbot is not able to upgrade and enhance its technologies and products to accommodate new features and expanded service offerings; or the failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances or approvals for its products. To successfully introduce and market its products at a profit, Microbot must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for its products. There are no assurances that Microbot can successfully address these challenges. If it is unsuccessful, Microbot and its business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

Microbot has not yet demonstrated its ability to successfully manufacture a commercial-scale product or arrange for a third-party to do so on its behalf, or conduct sales and marketing activities necessary for successful product commercialization. Consequently, any predictions made about Microbot’s future success or viability may not be as accurate as they could be if Microbot had a longer operating history.

Microbot expects to need additional funding to continue to transition to a profitable commercial enterprise and build a sustainable business model. If Microbot is unable to raise capital, it could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its product development programs or commercialization efforts or future product development programs.

To date, Microbot has funded its operations primarily through offerings of equity securities and grants. Microbot does not know when, or if, it will be profitable. It is anticipated that the Company will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and that losses will increase as it continues the development of the manufacturing, sales and marketing infrastructure necessary to commercialize LIBERTY®.

Microbot also expects the research and development expenses of the Company to continue in future periods as it potentially conducts clinical trials for additional research programs for the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System, and if it initiates additional research programs for future product candidates. Furthermore, Microbot incurs substantial costs associated with operating as a public company in the United States. Accordingly, the Company will likely need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with its continuing operations through its projected profitability, of which it can give no assurance of success. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, it could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts, in which case it may be unable to meet its obligations or fully implement its business plan, if at all.

The Company intends to continue to opportunistically strengthen its balance sheet by raising additional funds through equity offerings or otherwise in order to meet expected future liquidity needs. The Company’s future capital requirements, generally, will depend on many factors, including:

• the costs to secure or establish sales, marketing and commercial manufacturing capabilities or arrangements with third parties regarding same;
• the Company’s need and ability to hire additional management, sales, marketing, scientific and medical personnel;
• the timing and outcomes of any applicable regulatory reviews, subsequent approvals or clearances, or other regulatory actions;
• the costs, design, duration and any potential delays of the clinical trials that could be conducted at the FDA’s request using Microbot’s product candidates;
• the costs of acquiring, licensing or investing in new and existing businesses, product candidates and technologies;
• the costs to maintain, expand and defend the scope of Microbot’s intellectual property portfolio; and
• the costs to operate as a public company in the United States.

Risks Relating to the Development and Commercialization of Microbot’s Products

Microbot’s business depends heavily on the success of its sole product, the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System. If Microbot is unable to commercialize the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System, or experiences significant delays in doing so, Microbot’s business will be materially harmed.

Through December 31, 2025, Microbot has not recognized any revenues from its operations, and might not generate significant revenues in the foreseeable future, if at all, and depends heavily on the successful commercialization of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System. The success of commercializing the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System, will depend on a number of factors, including the following:

• establishing commercial manufacturing arrangements with one or more third parties;
• establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;
• protecting Microbot’s rights in its intellectual property portfolio;
• generating commercial sales, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with other entities;
• our ability to obtain additional capital;
• market acceptance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use;
• acceptance by the medical community, patients and third-party payors;
• effectively competing with existing and competitive products on the market and any new competing products that may enter the market; and
• maintaining quality and an acceptable safety profile.

If Microbot does not achieve one or more of these factors in a timely manner or at all, it could experience significant delays or an inability to successfully commercialize the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or any other product candidate, which would materially harm its business.

If the commercial opportunity for the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System and any other commercial products that may be developed by Microbot is smaller than Microbot anticipates, Microbot’s future revenue from the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System and such other products will be adversely affected and Microbot’s business will suffer.

If the size of the commercial opportunities in any of Microbot’s target markets is smaller than it anticipates, Microbot may not be able to achieve profitability and growth. It is difficult to predict the penetration, future growth rate or size of the market for the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or any other of Microbot’s future product candidate.

The commercial success of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or any other product candidates will require broad acceptance of the devices by the doctors and other medical professionals who specialize in the procedures targeted by each device, a limited number of whom may be able to influence device selection and purchasing decisions. If Microbot’s technologies are not broadly accepted and perceived as having significant advantages over existing medical devices, then it will not meet its business objectives. Such perceptions are likely to be based on a determination by medical facilities and physicians that Microbot’s products are safe and effective, are cost-effective in comparison to existing devices, and represent acceptable methods of treatment. Microbot cannot assure that it will be able to establish the relationships and arrangements with medical facilities and physicians necessary to support the market uptake of its products. In addition, its competitors may develop new technologies for the same markets Microbot is targeting that are more attractive to medical facilities and physicians. If doctors and other medical professionals do not consider Microbot’s products to be suitable for application in the procedures we are targeting and an improvement over the use of existing or competing products, Microbot’s business goals will not be realized.

Customers will be unlikely to buy the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or any other product candidates unless Microbot can demonstrate that they can be produced for sale to consumers at attractive prices.

Microbot only recently, in 2025, shifted its focus primarily from research and development of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System to its commercialization. Consequently, Microbot has limited experience in manufacturing, and intends to manufacture its products through third-party manufacturers. Microbot can offer no assurance that either it or its manufacturing partners will develop efficient, automated, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and processes to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards or production volumes required to successfully mass produce its commercial products. Even if its manufacturing partners are successful in developing such manufacturing capability and quality processes, including the assurance of good manufacturing practice (GMP) compliant device manufacturing, there can be no assurance that Microbot can timely meet its product commercialization schedule or the production and delivery requirements of potential customers. A failure to develop such manufacturing processes and capabilities could have a material adverse effect on Microbot’s business and financial results.

The proposed price of Microbot’s products will be dependent on material and other manufacturing costs. Microbot cannot offer any assurances that its manufacturing partner will be able manufacture its products at a competitive price or that achieving cost reductions will not cause a reduction in the performance, reliability and longevity of its products.

If Microbot is not able to both obtain and maintain adequate levels of third-party reimbursement for procedures involving the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or any other of its product candidates after they are approved for marketing and launched commercially, it would have a material adverse effect on Microbot’s business.

Healthcare providers and related facilities are generally reimbursed for their services through payment systems managed by various governmental agencies worldwide, private insurance companies, and managed care organizations. The manner and level of reimbursement in any given case may depend on the site of care, the procedure(s) performed, the final patient diagnosis, the device(s) utilized, available budget, or a combination of these factors, and coverage and payment levels are determined at each payor’s discretion. The coverage policies and reimbursement levels of these third-party payors may impact the decisions of healthcare providers and facilities regarding which medical products they purchase and the prices they are willing to pay for those products. Microbot cannot assure you that its sales will not be impeded and its business harmed if third-party payors fail to provide reimbursement for Microbot products that healthcare providers view as adequate.

In the United States, Microbot expects that its product candidates, once approved, will be purchased primarily by medical institutions, which then bill various third-party payors, such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, which administers the Medicare program through Medicare Administrative Contractors, and other government health care programs and private insurance plans, for the healthcare products and services provided to their patients. The process involved in applying for coverage and incremental reimbursement from CMS is lengthy and expensive. Moreover, many private payors look to CMS in setting their reimbursement policies and amounts. If CMS or other agencies limit coverage for procedures utilizing Microbot’s products or decrease or limit reimbursement payments for doctors and hospitals utilizing Microbot’s products, this may affect coverage and reimbursement determinations by many private payors.

If a procedure involving a medical device is not reimbursed separately by a government or private insurer, then a medical institution would have to absorb the cost of Microbot’s products as part of the cost of the procedure in which the products are used. At this time, Microbot does not know the extent to which medical institutions would consider insurers’ payment levels adequate to cover the cost of its products. Failure by hospitals and surgeons to receive an amount that they consider to be adequate reimbursement for procedures in which Microbot products are used could deter them from purchasing Microbot products and limit sales growth for those products.

Microbot has no control over payor decision-making with respect to coverage and payment levels for its medical device product candidates, once they are approved. Additionally, Microbot expects many payors to continue to explore cost-containment strategies (e.g., comparative and cost-effectiveness analyses, so-called “pay-for-performance” programs implemented by various public government health care programs and private third-party payors, and expansion of payment bundling initiatives, and other such methods that shift medical cost risk to providers) that may potentially impact coverage and/or payment levels for Microbot’s products or products Microbot develops in the future.

As Microbot’s product offerings are used across diverse healthcare settings, they will be affected to varying degrees by the different payment systems.

Unsuccessful studies, trials or procedures relating to product candidates under development or that we may develop, or applications for such candidates, could have a material adverse effect on our prospects.

The regulatory approval process for new products and new indications for existing products requires extensive data and procedures, including the development of regulatory and quality standards and, potentially, certain clinical studies. Unfavorable or inconsistent data from current or future clinical trials or other studies conducted by Microbot or third parties, or perceptions regarding such data, could adversely affect Microbot’s ability to obtain necessary device clearance or approval and the market’s view of Microbot’s future prospects.

Failure to successfully complete the studies or trials in a timely and cost-effective manner could have a material adverse effect on Microbot’s prospects with respect to potential future uses of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or prospects with respect to other uses or other product candidates we may pursue or identify from time to time. Because animal trials, clinical trials and other types of scientific studies are inherently uncertain, there can be no assurance that these trials or studies will be completed in a timely or cost-effective manner or result in a commercially viable product. Clinical trials or studies may experience significant setbacks even if earlier preclinical or animal studies have shown promising results. Furthermore, preliminary results from clinical trials may be contradicted by subsequent clinical analysis. Results from clinical trials may also not be supported by actual long-term studies or clinical experience. If preliminary clinical results are later contradicted, or if initial results cannot be supported by actual long-term studies or clinical experience, Microbot’s business could be adversely affected. Clinical trials also may be suspended or terminated by us, the FDA or other regulatory authorities at any time if it is believed that the trial participants face unacceptable health risks. The FDA may disagree with our interpretation of the data from our clinical trials, or may find the clinical trial design, conduct or results inadequate to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the product candidate. The FDA may also require additional preclinical studies or clinical trials which could further delay approval of our product candidates.

The results of Microbot’s research and development efforts are uncertain and there can be no assurance of the commercial success of Microbot’s future product applications or candidates.

Microbot believes that its success will depend in part on its ability to expand its product offerings and continue to improve its existing products in response to changing technologies, customer demands and competitive pressures. As such, Microbot expects to continue dedicating significant resources in research and development. The product candidates and services being developed by Microbot may not be technologically successful. In addition, the length of Microbot’s product candidates and service development cycle may be greater than Microbot originally expected.

Microbot may not meet its development and commercialization objectives in a timely manner or at all.

Microbot has established internal goals, based upon expectations with respect to its technologies, which Microbot has used to assess its progress towards, most recently, commercializing the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System. These goals relate to technology and design improvements as well as to dates for achieving specific development, commercialization and results. If the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System exhibits technical defects or are unable to meet cost or performance goals, among other things, Microbot’s commercialization schedule could be delayed and potential purchasers may decline to purchase such products or may opt to pursue alternative products, which would materially harm its business.

Microbot’s ability to expand its technology platforms for other uses may be limited.

Microbot has decided to focus on expanding all of its technology platforms for use in segments of the endovascular, cardiovascular and neurosurgery markets. Microbot’s ability to expand its technology platforms for use in such markets will be limited by its ability to develop and/or refine the necessary technology, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for their use on humans, and the marketing of its products and otherwise obtaining market acceptance of its product in the United States and in other countries.

Microbot does not know whether any data submitted with any future 510(k) application will satisfy all FDA requirements to support clearance of any future product candidate of Microbot, which would create uncertainty for Microbot as well as the possibility of increased product development costs and time to market for any such product candidate.

In the event Microbot pursues a future product candidate that requires FDA approval or clearance, it would have to identify a predicate device for that product candidate which it would then use in its 510(k) application. However, there is no guarantee that the FDA will agree with the Company’s determination or that the FDA would accept the predicate device that Microbot submitted in any such 510(k). Furthermore, the FDA also may request additional data in response to a 510(k) or require Microbot to conduct further testing or compile more data in support of its 510(k).

The FDA will require clinical data to be submitted as part of any future product candidate’s marketing submission, and any type of clinical study performed in humans will require the investment of substantial expense, professional resources and time. In order to conduct a clinical investigation involving human subjects for the purpose of demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of a medical device, a company must, among other things, apply for and obtain Institutional Review Board, or IRB, approval of the proposed investigation. In addition, the sponsor of the investigation must also submit and obtain FDA approval of an Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE, application, which we have submitted and are continuing the submission process with the FDA while we commence the approved human trials. Microbot may not be able to obtain FDA and/or IRB approval to undertake clinical trials in the United States for any new devices Microbot intends to market in the United States in the future. Moreover, the timing of the commencement, continuation and completion of any future clinical trial may be subject to significant delays attributable to various causes, including scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions, difficulties in identifying and enrolling patients who meet trial eligibility criteria, failure of patients to complete the clinical trial, delay in or failure to obtain IRB approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective site, and shortages of supply in the investigational device.

Thus, the addition of one or more mandatory clinical trials to the development timeline for any future product candidate would significantly increase the costs associated with developing and commercializing the product and delay the timing of U.S. regulatory authorization. Additionally, any medical device regulatory changes by the FDA could further affect our development plans for any other product candidate, depending on their nature, scope and applicability. Microbot and its business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected as a result of any such costs, delays or uncertainty.

Microbot will depend upon the ability of third parties, including contract research organizations, collaborative academic groups, future clinical trial sites and investigators, to conduct or to assist the Company in conducting clinical trials for any future product applications and candidates, if such trials become necessary.

Although Microbot has prior experience in designing, initiating, conducting and monitoring human clinical trials, it expects to continue to depend in part upon the ability of future collaborators, contract research organizations, clinical trial sites and investigators to successfully design, initiate, conduct and monitor such clinical trials.

Failure by Microbot or by any of these future collaborating parties to timely and effectively initiate, conduct and monitor a future clinical trial could significantly delay or materially impair Microbot’s ability to complete those clinical trials and/or obtain regulatory clearance or approval of any future product candidates and, consequently, could delay or materially impair its ability to generate revenues from the commercialization of any of those future products.

Our research and development program is dependent on the availability of certain components from suppliers, the delay in delivery of which could materially adversely affect our ongoing development and ability to manufacture and package devices in the timeframes currently expected.

Our research and development program is dependent on the availability of the component parts that we use to manufacture our LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System and packaging. Our business, therefore, could be adversely impacted by factors affecting our suppliers (such as the lack of employees due to military actions, a work stoppage or strike by our suppliers’ employees or the failure of our suppliers to provide materials of the requisite quality).

As a result of the Israel-Hamas war and related conflicts, we have experienced from time to time delays in the supply for certain components from Israeli-based vendors. We cannot determine with any certainty as to whether there will be future shortages, especially if the recently commenced U.S.-Israeli war against Iran escalates and spreads, and if so, for how long. Consequently, our operational and development timeline could be adversely affected if we were unable to obtain these components from our suppliers in the quantities or based on the timeline we require. Although we believe in most cases that we could identify alternative suppliers, we can give no assurance that our timelines will not be delayed while we identify and retain replacement suppliers. Accordingly, any material delay in delivery of any component parts or packaging could materially adversely affect our ability to meet our expected timeframes.

Microbot has relied on, and intends to continue to rely on, third-party manufacturers to produce its products and product candidates.

Microbot currently relies, and expects to rely for the foreseeable future, on third-party manufacturers to produce and supply its products, and it expects to rely on third parties to manufacture the commercialized products as well. Reliance on third-party manufacturers entails risks to which Microbot would not be subject if Microbot manufactured its product candidates or future commercial products itself, including:

• limitations on supply availability resulting from capacity, internal operational problems or scheduling constraints of third parties;
• potential regulatory non-compliance or other violations by the third-party manufacturer that could result in quality assurance;
• the possible breach of manufacturing agreements by third parties because of various factors beyond Microbot’s control; and
• the possible termination or non-renewal of manufacturing agreements by third parties for various reasons beyond Microbot’s control, at a time that is costly or inconvenient to Microbot.

If Microbot is not able to maintain its key manufacturing relationships, Microbot may fail to find replacement manufacturers or develop its own manufacturing capabilities, which could delay or impair Microbot’s ability to supply products for its customers and could substantially increase its costs or deplete profit margins, if any. If Microbot does find replacement manufacturers, Microbot may not be able to enter into agreements with them on terms and conditions favorable to it and there could be a substantial delay before new facilities could be qualified and registered with the FDA and other foreign regulatory authorities.

If Microbot’s products and product candidates are not considered to be a safe and effective alternative to existing technologies, Microbot will not be commercially successful.

The LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System and any other of our product candidates from time to time rely or are expected to rely on new technologies, and Microbot’s success will depend on acceptance of these technologies by the medical community as safe, clinically effective, cost effective and a preferred device as compared to products of its competitors. Microbot does not have long-term data regarding efficacy, safety and clinical outcomes associated with the use of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or any other product candidates. Any data that is generated in the future may not be positive or may not support the product candidates’ regulatory dossiers, which would negatively affect market acceptance and the rate at which its product candidates are adopted. Equally important will be physicians’ perceptions of the safety of Microbot’s product candidates because Microbot’s technologies are relatively new. If, over the long term, Microbot’s product candidates do not meet surgeons’ expectations as to safety, efficacy and ease of use, they may not become widely adopted.

Market acceptance of Microbot’s product candidates will also be affected by other factors, including Microbot’s ability to convince key opinion leaders to provide recommendations regarding its product candidates; convince distributors that its technologies are attractive alternatives to existing and competing technologies; supply and service sufficient quantities of products directly or through marketing alliances; and price products competitively in light of the current macroeconomic environment, which is increasingly price sensitive.

Microbot may be subject to penalties and may be precluded from marketing its products and product candidates if Microbot fails to comply with extensive governmental regulations.

Microbot’s medical device products are categorized as Class II devices, which required a 510(k) or 510(k) de-novo premarket submission to the FDA. In addition, Microbot believes that any future medical device products it may develop would also likely be categorized as Class II devices. However, the FDA has not made any determination about whether Microbot’s contemplated future medical product candidates are Class II medical devices and may disagree with that classification. If the FDA determines that Microbot’s future product candidates should be reclassified as Class III medical devices, Microbot could be precluded from marketing the devices for clinical use within the United States for months, years or longer, depending on the specifics of the change in classification. Reclassification of any of Microbot’s product candidates as Class III medical devices could significantly increase Microbot’s regulatory costs, including the timing and expense associated with required clinical trials and other costs.

The FDA and non-U.S. regulatory authorities require that Microbot product candidates be manufactured according to rigorous standards. These regulatory requirements significantly increase Microbot’s production costs, which may prevent Microbot from offering products within the price range and in quantities necessary to meet market demands. If Microbot or one of its third-party manufacturers changes an approved manufacturing process, the FDA may need to review the process before it may be used. Failure to comply with applicable pre-market and post-market regulatory requirements could subject Microbot to enforcement actions, including warning letters, fines, injunctions and civil penalties, recall or seizure of its products, operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of its production, and criminal prosecution.

Microbot products may in the future be subject to mandatory product recalls that could harm its reputation, business and financial results.

The FDA and similar foreign governmental authorities have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture that could pose a risk of injury to patients. In the case of the FDA, the authority to require a recall must be based on an FDA finding that there is a reasonable probability that the device would cause serious injury or death, although in most cases this mandatory recall authority is not used because manufacturers typically initiate a voluntary recall when a device violation is discovered. In addition, foreign governmental bodies have the authority to require the recall of Microbot products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture. Manufacturers may, under their own initiative, recall a product if any material deficiency in a device is found. A government-mandated or voluntary recall by Microbot or one of its distributors could occur as a result of component failures, manufacturing errors, design or labeling defects or other deficiencies and issues. Recalls of any Microbot products would divert managerial and financial resources and have an adverse effect on Microbot’s financial condition and results of operations, and any future recall announcements could harm Microbot’s reputation with customers and negatively affect its sales. In addition, the FDA could take enforcement action, including any of the following sanctions for failing to timely report a recall to the FDA:

• untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;
• detention or seizure of Microbot products;
• operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
• refusing or delaying requests for 510(k) clearance or premarket approval of new products or modified products;
• withdrawing 510(k) clearances or other types of regulatory authorizations -that have already been granted;
• refusing to grant export approval for Microbot products; or
• criminal prosecution.

If LIBERTY® or other of Microbot’s future commercialized products cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury, Microbot will be subject to Medical Device Reporting regulations, which can result in voluntary corrective actions or agency enforcement actions.

Under FDA regulations, Microbot will be required to report to the FDA any incident in which a marketed medical device product may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or in which a medical device malfunctioned and, if the malfunction were to recur, would likely cause or contribute to death or serious injury. In addition, all manufacturers placing medical devices in European Union markets are legally bound to report any serious or potentially serious incidents involving devices they produce or sell to the relevant authority in whose jurisdiction the incident occurred.

Microbot anticipates that in the future it is likely that it may experience events that would require reporting to the FDA pursuant to the Medical Device Reporting (MDR) regulations. Any adverse event involving a Microbot product could result in future voluntary corrective actions, such as product actions or customer notifications, or agency actions, such as inspection, mandatory recall or other enforcement action. Any corrective action, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as defending Microbot in a lawsuit, will require the dedication of our time and capital, distract management from operating our business, and may harm our reputation and financial results.

Microbot could be exposed to significant liability claims if Microbot is unable to obtain insurance at acceptable costs and adequate levels or otherwise protect itself against potential product liability claims.

The testing, manufacture, marketing and sale of medical devices entail the inherent risk of liability claims or product recalls. Product liability insurance is expensive and may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. A successful product liability claim or product recall could inhibit or prevent the successful commercialization of Microbot’s products, cause a significant financial burden on Microbot, or both, which in any case could have a material adverse effect on Microbot’s business and financial condition.

If Microbot fails to retain certain of its key personnel and attract and retain additional qualified personnel, Microbot might not be able to pursue its growth strategy effectively.

Microbot is dependent on its senior management, in particular Harel Gadot, Microbot’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and the other senior executive. Although Microbot believes that its relationship with members of its senior management is positive, there can be no assurance that the services of any of these individuals will continue to be available to Microbot in the future. Microbot’s future success will depend in part on its ability to retain its management and scientific teams, to identify, hire and retain additional qualified personnel with expertise in research and development and sales and marketing, and to effectively provide for the succession of senior management, when necessary. Competition for qualified personnel in the medical device industry is intense and finding and retaining qualified personnel with experience in the industry is very difficult. Microbot believes that there are only a limited number of individuals with the requisite skills to serve in key positions at Microbot, particularly in Israel, and it competes for key personnel with other medical equipment and technology companies, as well as research institutions.

Microbot does not carry, and does not intend to carry, any key person life insurance policies on any of its existing executive officers.

Our profitability may be negatively impacted by inflation in the cost of labor, materials, and services.

Although inflation in the United States has declined since 2023, prices have continued to be significantly impacted by inflation relative to historical levels. This continued inflation has raised our costs for plastic products and other components of our LIBERTY device, thereby increasing our operating costs and capital expenditures. Additionally, the Trump administration has increased tariffs on many imports. The Trump administration has also imposed and expanded so called ‘reciprocal’ tariffs on a wide range of United States trading partners with which the United States has sizable trade imbalances and has announced or threatened additional increases on imports from Canada, Mexico, and other key partners. These and other import tariffs could substantially increase our operating and capital costs as we ramp up production and manufacturing of the LIBERTY device. Although we cannot predict any future inflation trends or the impact of current or future import tariffs, higher operating and capital costs would negatively impact our future profitability to the extent we are unable to recover such higher costs through passing them along to our customers.

Risks Relating to International Business

If Microbot fails to obtain regulatory clearances in other countries for LIBERTY® or any other future product candidates, Microbot will not be able to commercialize these products or product candidates in those countries.

In order for Microbot to market its product candidates in countries other than the United States, it must comply with the safety and quality regulations in such countries.

In Europe, these regulations, including the requirements for approvals, clearance or grant of Conformité Européenne, or CE, Certificates of Conformity and the time required for regulatory review, vary from country to country. Failure to obtain regulatory approval, clearance or CE Certificates of Conformity (or equivalent) in any foreign country in which Microbot plans to market its product candidates may harm its ability to generate revenue and harm its business. Approval and CE marking procedures vary among countries and can involve additional product testing and additional administrative review periods. The time required to obtain approval or CE Certificate of Conformity in other countries might differ from that required to obtain FDA clearance. The regulatory approval or CE marking process in other countries may include all of the risks detailed above regarding FDA clearance in the United States. Regulatory approval or the CE marking of a product candidate in one country does not ensure regulatory approval in another, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval or a CE Certificate of Conformity in one country may negatively impact the regulatory process in others. Failure to obtain regulatory approval or a CE Certificate of Conformity in other countries or any delay or setback in obtaining such approval could have the same adverse effects described above regarding FDA clearance in the United States.

Although we engaged with a leading notified body to secure a CE Mark for sales of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System in Europe, it is not yet certain as to when we will secure the CE Mark, and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in complying with the requirements of the CE Certificate of Conformity and receiving a CE Mark for the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or other product candidates or in continuing to meet the requirements of the Medical Devices Directive in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Israel’s Medical Devices Law generally requires the registration of all medical products with the Ministry of Health, or MOH, Registrar through the submission of an application to the Ministry of Health Medical Institutions and Devices Licensing Department, or AMAR. Microbot has submitted an application to AMAR based on its 510(k) clearance in the United States Once granted, a license (marketing authorization) for a medical device is valid for five years from the date of registration of the device, except for implants with a life-supporting function, for which the validity is for only two years from the date of registration. Furthermore, the holder of the license must meet several additional requirements to maintain the license. Microbot cannot be certain that it will be successful in applying for a license from the MOH for its product candidates.

Microbot operations in international markets involve inherent risks that Microbot may not be able to control.

Microbot’s business plan includes the marketing and sale of its proposed product candidates internationally, and specifically in Europe and Israel. Accordingly, Microbot’s results could be materially and adversely affected by a variety of factors relating to international business operations that it may or may not be able to control, including:

• adverse macroeconomic conditions affecting geographies where Microbot intends to do business;
• closing of international borders, including as a result of biohazards or pandemics;
• foreign currency exchange rates;
• political or social unrest or economic instability in a specific country or region;
• higher costs of doing business in certain foreign countries;
• infringement claims on foreign patents, copyrights or trademark rights;
• difficulties in staffing and managing operations across disparate geographic areas;
• difficulties associated with enforcing agreements and intellectual property rights through foreign legal systems;
• trade protection measures and other regulatory requirements, which affect Microbot’s ability to import or export its product candidates from or to various countries;
• adverse tax consequences;
• unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements;
• military conflict, terrorist activities, natural disasters and medical epidemics; and
• Microbot’s ability to recruit and retain channel partners in foreign jurisdictions.

Microbot’s financial results may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates and Microbot’s current currency hedging strategy may not be sufficient to counter such fluctuations.

Microbot’s financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and the financial results of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of Microbot’s business is conducted, and a substantial portion of its operating expenses are payable, in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may have an adverse impact on Microbot’s future revenues or expenses as presented in the financial statements. Microbot may in the future use financial instruments, such as forward foreign currency contracts, in its management of foreign currency exposure. These contracts would primarily require Microbot to purchase and sell certain foreign currencies with or for U.S. dollars at contracted rates. Microbot may be exposed to a credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties of these contracts. In addition, these financial instruments may not adequately manage Microbot’s foreign currency exposure. Microbot’s results of operations could be adversely affected if Microbot is unable to successfully manage currency fluctuations in the future.

Risks Relating to Microbot’s Intellectual Property

Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims could cause Microbot to incur significant expenses or prevent Microbot from selling certain of its product candidates.

The medical device industry is characterized by extensive intellectual property litigation. From time to time, Microbot might be the subject of claims by third parties of potential infringement or misappropriation. Regardless of outcome, such claims are expensive to defend and divert the time and effort of Microbot’s management and operating personnel from other business issues. A successful claim or claims of patent or other intellectual property infringement against Microbot could result in its payment of significant monetary damages and/or royalty payments or negatively impact its ability to sell current or future products in the affected category and could have a material adverse effect on its business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

If Microbot or TRDF are unable to protect the patents or other proprietary rights relating to Microbot’s product candidates, or if Microbot infringes on the patents or other proprietary rights of others, Microbot’s competitiveness and business prospects may be materially damaged.

Microbot’s success depends on its ability to protect its intellectual property (including its licensed intellectual property) and its proprietary technologies. Microbot’s commercial success depends in part on its ability to obtain and maintain patent protection and trade secret protection for its product candidates, proprietary technologies, and their uses, as well as its ability to operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others.

Microbot currently holds, through licenses or otherwise, an intellectual property portfolio that includes U.S. and international patents and pending patents, and other patents under development. Microbot intends to continue to seek legal protection, primarily through patents, including the remaining TRDF licensed patents that relate to the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System technology, for its proprietary technology. Seeking patent protection is a lengthy and costly process, and there can be no assurance that patents will be issued from any pending applications, or that any claims allowed from existing or pending patents will be sufficiently broad or strong to protect its proprietary technology. There is also no guarantee that any patents Microbot holds, through licenses or otherwise, will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the patent rights granted will provide competitive advantages to Microbot. Microbot’s competitors have developed and may continue to develop and obtain patents for technologies that are similar or superior to Microbot’s technologies. In addition, the laws of foreign jurisdictions in which Microbot develops, manufactures or sells its product candidates may not protect Microbot’s intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.

Adverse outcomes in current or future legal disputes regarding patent and other intellectual property rights could result in the loss of Microbot’s intellectual property rights, subject Microbot to significant liabilities to third parties, require Microbot to seek licenses from third parties on terms that may not be reasonable or favorable to Microbot, prevent Microbot from manufacturing, importing or selling its product candidates, or compel Microbot to redesign its product candidates to avoid infringing third parties’ intellectual property. As a result, Microbot may be required to incur substantial costs to prosecute, enforce or defend its intellectual property rights if they are challenged. Any of these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on Microbot’s business, financial condition and resources or results of operations.

Microbot has the first right, but not the obligation, to control the prosecution, maintenance or enforcement of the remaining licensed patents from TRDF. However, there may be situations in which Microbot will not have control over the prosecution, maintenance or enforcement of the patents that Microbot licenses, or may not have sufficient ability to consult and input into the patent prosecution and maintenance process with respect to such patents. If Microbot does not control the patent prosecution and maintenance process with respect to the remaining TRDF licensed patents, TRDF may elect to do so but may fail to take the steps that are necessary or desirable in order to obtain, maintain and enforce the licensed patents.

Microbot’s ability to develop intellectual property depends in large part on hiring, retaining and motivating highly qualified design and engineering staff and consultants with the knowledge and technical competence to advance its technology and productivity goals. To protect Microbot’s trade secrets and proprietary information, Microbot has entered into confidentiality agreements with its employees, as well as with consultants and other parties. If these agreements prove inadequate or are breached, Microbot’s remedies may not be sufficient to cover its losses.

Dependence on patent and other proprietary rights and failing to protect such rights or to be successful in litigation related to such rights may result in Microbot’s payment of significant monetary damages or impact offerings in its product portfolios.

Microbot’s long-term success largely depends on its ability to market technologically competitive product candidates. If Microbot fails to obtain or maintain adequate intellectual property protection, it may not be able to prevent third parties from using its proprietary technologies or may lose access to technologies critical to our product candidates. Also, Microbot currently pending or future patent applications may not result in issued patents, and issued patents are subject to claims concerning priority, scope and other issues.

Furthermore, Microbot has not filed applications for all of our patents internationally and it may not be able to prevent third parties from using its proprietary technologies or may lose access to technologies critical to its product candidates in other countries.

Risks Relating to Operations in Israel

Existing and historical risks relating to our operations in Israel are being exacerbated by the current military actions and operations, and related activities, following the U.S.-Israel joint attach on Iran.

The ongoing risks of operating in Israel have been exacerbated as a result of the October 7, 2023 surprise attack by hostile forces from Gaza, which led to Israeli military operation at first in Gaza, then in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran. These include security and economic risks, risks relating to our ability to sell or buy internationally, risk of economic instability, risk of exchange rate fluctuation negatively affecting operating costs, and the risk of employees leaving to perform military service. These military operations and related activities are on-going as of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Subsequent to the reporting period, on February 28, 2026, a military operation referred to as “Epic-Fury” commenced with a large-scale attack on Iran carried out in coordination with the United States. In response, Iran launched a counterattack that included the firing of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles toward military and civilian targets in Israel. Additionally, Hezbollah, a terrorist organization in Lebanon, joined the attacks against Israel and Israel has started military operations in Lebanon.

As a result, a special state of emergency was declared in Israel, which included, among other things, the closure of Israel’s airspace, restrictions on public gatherings, temporary closures and/or reduced operating hours of businesses, and the mobilization of military reservists, which have resulted in reduced economic activity.

The Company has considered various ongoing risks relating to these and other military operation and related matters, including:

• That some of our Israeli subcontractors, vendors, suppliers and other companies in which the Company relies, may not be fully active and operational, as instructed by the relevant authorities;
• A slowdown in the number of international flights in and out of Israel;
• The decreasing international regard for Israeli-based companies in certain quarters, including as a result of the Israeli government’s policies in Gaza and the West Bank; and
• Possible and actual boycotts of Israel and Israeli-based companies, which may adversely affect our ability to do business in certain jurisdictions or with certain industry groups or potential customers, among others.

The Company closely monitors how these and other military operation and related activities could adversely affect its anticipated milestones and its Israel-based activities to support future commercial, clinical and regulatory milestones, including the Company’s ability to import materials that are required to construct the LIBERTY® devices and to ship them outside of Israel. In addition, we are also monitoring how negative international reaction to the events in Gaza, the West Bank, Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East could create a corresponding negative perception of companies with Israeli operations, which if broad enough, could negatively impact our business. As of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has determined that there have not been any materially adverse effects on its business or operations, but it continues to monitor the situation, as in the event that the situation escalates into an even greater regional conflict or our Israeli facilities are damaged as a result of hostile actions, or hostilities otherwise disrupt our Israeli office’s support of our commercial, clinical and regulatory activities, our Israeli operations could be materially and adversely affected. We do not have any specific contingency plans in the event of any such escalation or change.

Microbot has facilities located in Israel, and therefore, political conditions in Israel may affect Microbot’s operations and results.

Microbot has facilities located in Israel. In addition, one of its seven directors, its General Manager and Chief Technology Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as well as substantially all of its research and development team and non-management employees, are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel will directly or indirectly affect Microbot’s operations and results. Most recently, for example, the current political situation in Israel where the ruling parties are attempting to implement laws that essentially allow the parliament to enact laws that are preemptively immune to judicial review could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, since the establishment of the State of Israel, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors. An ongoing state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity has led to security and economic problems for Israel. For a number of years there have been continuing hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians. This includes hostilities with the Islamic movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which have adversely affected the peace process and at times resulted in armed conflicts, including the current armed conflict. Such hostilities have negatively influenced Israel’s economy as well as impaired Israel’s relationships with several other countries. Israel also faces threats from Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, from ISIS and rebel forces in Syria, from the government of Iran and other potential threats from additional countries in the region. Moreover, some of Israel’s neighboring countries have recently undergone or are undergoing significant political changes. These political, economic and military conditions in Israel could have a material adverse effect on Microbot’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth.

Political relations could limit Microbot’s ability to sell or buy internationally.

Microbot could be adversely affected by the interruption or reduction of trade between Israel and its trading partners. Some countries, companies and organizations continue to participate in a boycott of Israeli firms and others doing business with Israel, with Israeli companies or with Israeli-owned companies operating in other countries. Foreign government defense export policies towards Israel could also make it more difficult for us to obtain the export authorizations necessary for Microbot’s activities. Also, over the past several years there have been calls in the United States, Europe and elsewhere to reduce trade with Israel. There can be no assurance that restrictive laws, policies or practices directed towards Israel or Israeli businesses will not have an adverse impact on Microbot’s business.

Israel’s economy may become unstable.

From time to time, Israel’s economy may experience inflation or deflation, low foreign exchange reserves, fluctuations in world commodity prices, military conflicts and civil unrest. For these and other reasons, the government of Israel has intervened in the economy employing fiscal and monetary policies, import duties, foreign currency restrictions, controls of wages, prices and foreign currency exchange rates and regulations regarding the lending limits of Israeli banks to companies considered to be in an affiliated group. The Israeli government has periodically changed its policies in these areas. Reoccurrence of previous destabilizing factors could make it more difficult for Microbot to operate its business and could adversely affect its business.

Exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the NIS currencies may negatively affect Microbot’s operating costs.

A significant portion of Microbot’s expenses are paid in New Israeli Shekels, or NIS, but its financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, Microbot is exposed to the risks that the NIS may appreciate relative to the U.S. dollar, or the NIS instead devalues relative to the U.S. dollar, and the inflation rate in Israel may exceed such rate of devaluation of the NIS, or that the timing of such devaluation may lag behind inflation in Israel. In any such event, the U.S. dollar cost of Microbot’s operations in Israel would increase and Microbot’s U.S. dollar-denominated results of operations would be adversely affected. Microbot cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation in Israel or the rate of devaluation (if any) of the NIS against the U.S. dollar.

Microbot’s primary expenses paid in NIS that are not linked to the U.S. dollar are employee expenses in Israel and lease payments on its Israeli facility. As Microbot does not hedge against its position in NIS, a change in the value of the NIS compared to the U.S. dollar could increase Microbot’s research and development expenses, labor costs and general and administrative expenses, and as a result, have a negative impact on Microbot’s financial condition.

Funding and other benefits provided by Israeli government programs may be terminated or reduced in the future and the terms of such funding may have an impact on future corporate decisions.

Microbot participates in programs under the auspices of the Israeli Innovation Authority, for which it receives funding for the development of its technologies and product candidates. If Microbot fails to comply with the conditions applicable to this program, it may be required to pay additional penalties or make refunds and may be denied future benefits. From time to time, the government of Israel has discussed reducing or eliminating the benefits available under this program, and therefore these benefits may not be available in the future at their current levels or at all.

Microbot’s research and development efforts from inception until now have been financed in part through such Israeli Innovation Authority royalty bearing grants in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.5 million through December 31, 2025. During 2025 year the Israeli Innovation Authority approved additional grant in the amount of approximately NIS 2.2 million, to further finance the development of the Company’s manufacturing process of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System.

Furthermore, as of December 31, 2025, the Company received grants from the Ministry of Economy of the State of Israel in the amount of approximately $50,000, to further finance the marketing activities of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System in the U.S. market.

In addition, as a result of our 2022 agreement with Nitiloop, we took over the liability to repay Nitiloop’s IIA grants in the amount of approximately $925,000.

With respect to such grants Microbot is committed to pay royalties at a rate of between 3% to 3.5% on sales proceeds up to the total amount of grants received, linked to the dollar, plus interest at an annual rate of SOFR, a benchmark interest rate which replaced LIBOR. In addition, as a recipient of Israeli Innovation Authority grants, Microbot must comply with the requirements of the Israeli Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development Law, 1984, or the R&D Law, and related regulations. Under the terms of the grants and the R&D Law, Microbot is restricted from transferring any technologies, know-how, manufacturing or manufacturing rights developed using Israeli Innovation Authority grants outside of Israel without the prior approval of Israeli Innovation Authority. Therefore, if aspects of its technologies are deemed to have been developed with Israeli Innovation Authority funding, the discretionary approval of an Israeli Innovation Authority committee would be required for any transfer to third parties outside of Israel of the technologies, know-how, manufacturing or manufacturing rights related to such aspects. Furthermore, the Israeli Innovation Authority may impose certain conditions on any arrangement under which it permits Microbot to transfer technology or development outside of Israel or may not grant such approvals at all.

If approved, the transfer of Israeli Innovation Authority-supported technology or know-how outside of Israel may involve the payment of significant fees, which will depend on the value of the transferred technology or know-how, the total amount Israeli Innovation Authority funding received by Microbot, the number of years since the funding and other factors. These restrictions and requirements for payment may impair Microbot’s ability to sell its technology assets outside of Israel or to outsource or transfer development or manufacturing activities with respect to any product or technology outside of Israel. Furthermore, the amount of consideration available to Microbot’s shareholders in a transaction involving the transfer of technology or know-how developed with Israeli Innovation Authority funding outside of Israel (such as through a merger or other similar transaction) may be reduced by any amounts that Microbot is required to pay to the Israeli Innovation Authority.

Some of Microbot’s employees are obligated to perform military reserve duty in Israel.

Generally, Israeli adult male citizens and permanent residents are obligated to perform annual military reserve duty up to a specified age. They also may be called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances, which could have a disruptive impact on Microbot’s workforce.

It may be difficult to enforce a non-Israeli judgment against Microbot or its officers and directors.

The operating subsidiary of the Company is incorporated in Israel. Some of Microbot’s executive officers and directors are not residents of the United States, and a substantial portion of Microbot’s assets and the assets of its executive officers and directors are located outside the United States. Therefore, a judgment obtained against Microbot, or any of these persons, including a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be collectible in the United States and may not necessarily be enforced by an Israeli court. It also may be difficult to affect service of process on these persons in the United States or to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to initiate an action with respect to U.S. securities laws in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which 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 U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law often involves the testimony of expert witnesses, which can be a time consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel that addresses the matters described above. As a result of the difficulty associated with enforcing a judgment against Microbot in Israel, it may be impossible to collect any damages awarded by either a U.S. or foreign court.

Risks Relating to Microbot’s Securities, Governance and Other Matters

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with the applicable listing standards. In 2018, we effected a 1:15 reverse stock split to address our stock price falling below the minimum share price required by Nasdaq. Failure to again meet applicable Nasdaq continued listing standards could result in a further reverse stock split or a delisting of our common stock. A delisting of our common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, employees and fewer business opportunities. Additionally, if we are not eligible for quotation or listing on another exchange, trading of our common stock could be conducted only in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the OTC Marketplace. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, there would likely also be a reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further, and it may be more difficult to raise capital on acceptable terms or at all.

We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock.

We anticipate that we will retain our earnings, if any, for future growth and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the future. Investors seeking cash dividends should not invest in our common stock for that purpose.

Anti-takeover provisions in the Company’s charter and bylaws under Delaware law may prevent or frustrate attempts by stockholders to change the board of directors or current management and could make a third-party acquisition of the Company difficult.

Provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent an acquisition or a change in management. These provisions include a classified board of directors. In addition, because the Company is incorporated in Delaware, it is governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits stockholders owning in excess of 15% of outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with the Company unless the Company meets the requirements of such section. Although the Company believes these provisions collectively will provide for an opportunity to receive higher bids by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with the Company’s board of directors, they would apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by the Company’s stockholders to replace or remove then current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of the board of directors, which is responsible for appointing members of management.

General Risks

Political, social and geopolitical conditions can adversely affect our business.

Political, social and geopolitical conditions in the markets in which our products are expected to be sold have been and could continue to be difficult to predict, resulting in adverse effects on our business. The results of elections, referendums or other political conditions (including government shutdowns), geopolitical events and tensions, wars and other military conflicts in these markets have in the past impacted and could continue to impact how existing laws, regulations and government programs or policies are implemented or result in uncertainty as to how such laws, regulations, programs or policies may change, including with respect to the negotiation of new trade agreements, new, expanded or retaliatory tariffs against certain countries or covering certain products or ingredients, sanctions, environmental and climate change regulations, taxes, benefit programs, the movement of goods, services and people between countries, relationships between countries, customer or consumer perception of a particular country or its government and other matters. Such conditions have resulted in and could continue to result in exchange rate fluctuation, limitations on access to credit markets and other corporate banking services, including working capital facilities, volatility in global stock markets and global economic uncertainty and heightened risk to employee safety, any of which can adversely affect our business.

Political uncertainty may have an adverse impact on our operating performance and results of operations.

General political uncertainty may have an adverse impact on our operating performance and results of operations. In particular, the U.S. continues to experience significant political events that cast uncertainty on global financial and economic markets, especially following the recent presidential election. It is presently unclear as to all of the actions the second Trump administration in the U.S. will implement, and if implemented, how these actions may impact us or how we operate in the U.S., particularly any changes in personnel or processes or procedures at the FDA. Any actions taken by the Trump administration, including the many recent executive orders, may have a negative impact on the U.S. economy in general and on our business, financial condition, and results of operations in particular, especially if any such impact delays our planned 510(k) approval.

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to the Company’s investors, restrict its operations or require it to relinquish rights to its technologies or product candidates.

Until such time, if ever, as the Company is profitable, it expects to finance its cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, including possibly through an At-the-Market offering, licensing, collaboration or similar arrangements, grants and debt financings. The Company does not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of its stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of holder of the Company’s common stock. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting the Company’s ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, declaring dividends or other distributions, selling or licensing intellectual property rights, and other operating restrictions that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to conduct its business.

If the Company raises additional funds through licensing, collaboration or similar arrangements, it may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, future revenue streams, research and development programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that it would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself.

Microbot operates in a competitive industry and if its competitors have products that are marketed more effectively or develop products, treatments or procedures that are similar, more advanced, safer or more effective, its commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated, which would materially harm its business.

Our competitors may develop products, treatments or procedures that directly compete with our products and potential products and which are similar, more advanced, safer or more effective than ours. The medical device industry is very competitive and subject to significant technological and practice changes. Microbot expects to face competition from many different sources with respect to the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System and any other products that it may from time to time seek to develop or commercialize in the future.

Competing against large established competitors with significant resources may make establishing a market for any products that it develops difficult which would have a material adverse effect on Microbot’s business. Microbot’s commercial opportunities could also be reduced or eliminated if its competitors develop and commercialize products, treatments or procedures quicker, that are safer, more effective, are more convenient or are less expensive than the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System or any other product that Microbot may develop. Many of Microbot’s potential competitors have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing approved products than Microbot may have. Mergers and acquisitions in the medical device industry market may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of Microbot’s potential competitors.

Information technology failures and data security breaches could harm our business.

We use information technology, digital communications and other computer resources to carry out important operational and marketing activities and to maintain our business records. We have implemented systems and processes intended to address ongoing and evolving cyber security risks, secure our information technology, applications and computer systems, and prevent unauthorized access to or loss of sensitive, confidential and personal data. We also depend on various partners and providers, and our software partners, to secure personal identifiable and confidential information. We provide regular personnel awareness training regarding potential cyber security threats, including the use of internal tips, reminders and phishing assessments, to help ensure employees remain diligent in identifying potential risks. In addition, we have deployed monitoring capabilities to support early detection, internal and external escalation, and effective responses to potential anomalies. However, cyberattacks or other security breaches may remain undetected over an extended period of time and may not be addressed in a timely manner to minimize the impact, which could result in substantial costs. Many of our information technology and other computer resources are provided to us and/or maintained on our behalf by third-party service providers pursuant to agreements that specify to varying degrees certain security and service level standards. We also rely upon our third-party service providers to maintain effective cyber security measures to keep our information secure and to carry cyber insurance. Although we and our service providers employ what we believe are adequate security, disaster recovery and other preventative and corrective measures, our security measures, taken as a whole, may not be sufficient for all possible situations and may be vulnerable to, among other things, hacking, employee error, system error and faulty password management.

Our ability to conduct our business may be impaired if these information technology and computer resources, including our website and customer-facing applications, are compromised, degraded or damaged or if they fail, whether due to a virus or other harmful circumstance, intentional penetration or disruption of our information technology resources by a third party, natural disaster, hardware or software corruption or failure or error (including a failure of security controls incorporated into or applied to such hardware or software), telecommunications system failure, service provider error or failure or intentional or unintentional personnel actions (including the failure to follow our security protocols), or lost connectivity to our networked resources. A significant disruption in the functioning of these resources, or breach thereof, including our website, could damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers, sales and revenue.

In addition, breaches of our information technology systems or data security systems, including cyberattacks and malicious uses of artificial intelligence, could result in the unintended and/or unauthorized public disclosure or the misappropriation of proprietary, personal identifying and confidential information (including information we collect and retain in connection with our business, business partners and employees), and require us to incur significant expense (that we may not be able to recover in whole or in part from our service providers or responsible parties, or their or our insurers) to address and remediate or otherwise resolve. The unintended and/or unauthorized public disclosure or the misappropriation of proprietary, personal identifying or confidential information may also lead to litigation or other proceedings against us by affected individuals and/or business partners and/or by regulators, and the outcome of such proceedings, which could include losses, penalties, fines, injunctions, expenses and charges recorded against our earnings, could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and harm our reputation. In addition, the costs of maintaining adequate protection against such threats, based on considerations of their evolution, increasing sophistication, pervasiveness and frequency and/or increasingly demanding government-mandated standards or obligations regarding information security and privacy, could be material to our consolidated financial statements in a particular period or over various periods.

Our business strategy in part relies on identifying, acquiring and developing complementary technologies and products, which entails risks which could negatively affect our business, operations and financial condition.

We have in the past and may again in the future pursue other acquisitions of businesses and technologies. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including:

• difficulties in the integration of acquired operations, services and products;
• failure to achieve expected synergies;
• diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
• assumption of unknown material liabilities of acquired companies;
• amortization of acquired intangible assets, which could reduce future reported earnings;
• Lack of funding to properly and adequately develop and commercialize the technologies acquired;
• potential loss of clients or key employees of acquired companies; and
• dilution to existing stockholders.

29

As part of our growth strategy, we may consider, and from time to time may engage in, discussions and negotiations regarding transactions, such as acquisitions, mergers and combinations within our industry. The purchase price for possible acquisitions could be paid in cash, through the issuance of common stock or other securities, borrowings or a combination of these methods.

We cannot be certain that we will be able to identify, consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions, and no assurance can be given with respect to the timing, likelihood or business effect of any possible transaction. For example, we could begin negotiations that we subsequently decide to suspend or terminate for a variety of reasons. Similarly, we could acquire a technology or asset, and later determine that such technology or asset no longer fits in our business strategy or goals or do not have the capital to advance its development or commercialization. However, opportunities may arise from time to time that we will evaluate. Any transactions that we consummate would involve risks and uncertainties to us. These risks could cause the failure of any anticipated benefits of an acquisition to be realized, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;
• changes in financial or operational estimates or projections;
• conditions in markets generally;
• changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies similar to ours;
• announcements by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
• our intellectual property position; and
• general economic or political conditions in the United States, Israel or elsewhere.

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock.

The issuance of shares upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options could cause immediate and substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

The issuance of shares upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the holders of such securities may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion.

Since our formation, we have been primarily focused on research and development activities and pursuing FDA approval of our planned products, and only recently commenced building our commercial team and focusing on the commercialization of LIBERTY®. We have 42 full-time employees and 1 hourly employee, of which 24 are based in the United States and 19 are based in Israel, and currently use third-party vendors and service providers for certain product development and regulatory approval activities.

We use a third-party sub-contractor to manage all Information Technology (IT) issues, including protection against, detection, and response to cyberattacks.

The measures that are taken to ensure proper protection include:

• All computers are protected using a cloud-powered endpoint security solution that helps enterprises prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats on their networks. It offers endpoint protection, endpoint detection and response, mobile threat defense, and integrated vulnerability management. It also provides, among other things, malware and spyware detection and remediation, rootkit detection and remediation and network vulnerability detection.
• All Company computer hard drives are automatically encrypted.
• All Company e-mails are protected by a cloud-based email filtering service designed to protect the Company against advanced threats related to email and collaboration tools.
• Periodically, all users on the Company’s computer network are required to perform multi-factor authentication.
• The Company uses a cloud-based identity and access management service that enables access to external resources.
• Backup is performed using a secure, automatic cloud-based backup and restore service.
• From time to time, the Company considers and evaluates, and adopts if appropriate, additional cyber security procedures and tools.

Additionally, we believe that our third-party vendors and service providers have their own respective cybersecurity protocols which our management believes to be adequate for protecting any of the Company’s data that might be in their possession from time to time; however, having such protocols is not necessarily a condition for us using or not using the services of any such vendors or providers.

Our IT service provider assesses and manages cybersecurity risks on our behalf, who provides updates and proposals as appropriate, and who reports to our Chief Technology Officer and General Manager, who does not have specific cybersecurity expertise. The Company has an Information Technology Policy that, among other things, governs and provides for cybersecurity policies and processes, including to define safety measures to protect the Company’s confidentiality, integrity and availability of data and other intellectual property, as well as to define the manner in which information is stored, saved and routed in the Company’s network. Additionally, the Board and management believe cybersecurity represents an important component of the Company’s overall approach to risk management and oversight, especially as the Company has commenced commercialization of its first product.

Historically, cybersecurity threats have not materially affected the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, while it was focused on pursuing FDA approval and had pre-commercial operations. The Company is not aware of any material security breach to date. Accordingly, the Company has not incurred any material expenses over the last two years relating to information security breaches. The Company is considering how its evolving business operations could result in a greater risk of a cybersecurity incident, and potential responses and actions to take as a result. The occurrence of cyber-incidents, or a deficiency in our cybersecurity or in those of any of our third-party service providers could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information and systems, or damage to our business relationships or reputation, all of which could negatively impact our business and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company’s third-party vendors’ and service providers’ cybersecurity risk management processes, including their policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting the Company’s systems and information.

Microbot’s U.S.-based employees currently either work remotely or at leased premises in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts of approximately 300 square feet. Microbot also occupies facilities in premises of approximately 6,975 square feet at 6 Hayozma St., Yokneam, P.O.B. 242, Israel. These facilities are expected to provide the space and infrastructure necessary to accommodate its commercial and business development work based on its current operating plan. Microbot does not own any real property.

On June 17, 2025, the Company received a demand letter from legal counsel representing a former employee in connection with an employment-related matter. On December 3, 2025, the Company received a charge filed by the former employee with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, alleging discrimination and retaliation. On January 16, 2026, the Company filed a position statement responding to same and challenging the merits of the charge in total. Based on its initial assessment, the Company believes the allegations lack merit and intends to defend against them.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm business.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information contained in this MD&A includes “forward-looking statements.” Statements which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to us and our management and their interpretation of what is believed to be significant factors affecting our existing and proposed business, including many assumptions regarding future events. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities could differ materially and perhaps substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those risks described in detail in the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K entitled “Risk Factors” as well as elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “could,” “scheduled,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “seek,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.

In light of these risks and uncertainties, and especially given the nature of our existing and proposed business, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K will in fact occur. Potential investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

Overview

Microbot is a medical device company specializing in the research, design and development of next generation robotic endoluminal surgery devices targeting the minimally invasive surgery space. We are primarily focused on leveraging our robotic technologies with the goal of redefining surgical robotics while improving surgical outcomes for patients.

Using our LIBERTY® technological platform, we have developed the first-ever fully disposable robot for various endovascular interventional procedures. The LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System is designed to maneuver guidewires and over-the-wire devices (such as microcatheters) within the body’s vasculature. It is intended for the remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires and catheters, and remote manipulation of guide catheters to facilitate navigation to anatomical targets, with the current intention to focus on the peripheral vasculature market. It is designed to eliminate the need for extensive capital equipment requiring dedicated Cath-lab rooms as well as dedicated staff.

Financial Operations Overview

Research and Development Expenses, net

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and related expenses and overhead for Microbot’s research, development and engineering personnel, prototype materials and research studies, obtaining and maintaining Microbot’s patent portfolio, net of government grants. Microbot expenses its research and development costs as incurred.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Sales, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of the costs associated with salaries, benefits and related expenses, sales and marketing activities, business development expenses, professional fees for accounting, auditing, consulting, legal services, and insurance expenses.

Microbot expects that its sales, general and administrative expenses will increase over the long-term, as it expands its operating and commercialization activities, maintains compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements. Microbot expects these potential increases will likely include management costs, the costs of building out marketing and sales teams for the LIBERTY® product, legal fees, accounting fees, insurance premiums and expenses associated with investor relations.

Income Taxes

Microbot has incurred net losses and has not recorded any income tax benefits for the losses, it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be available for the tax losses to be fully utilized in the future.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of actual cost, determined using the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value (“NRV”).

Inventories primarily consist of raw materials ordered by us or in advance by our third-party contract manufacturer. Work in process and finished goods are produced by our third-party contract manufacturer and include direct labor and allocable overhead.

We routinely evaluate the quantity and value of our inventories in light of current market conditions, and based on expiration of sterilization dates or defective inventory, and record write-downs when NRV is below cost. As of December 31, 2025, no reserve for excess or obsolete inventory was recognized.

The Company began ramping up inventory manufacturing for units intended for sale after receiving FDA clearance on September 4, 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of Microbot’s financial condition and results of operations are based on its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires Microbot to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Microbot bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While Microbot’s significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to its consolidated financial statements, Microbot believes the following accounting policies are the most critical for fully understanding and evaluating its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Contingencies

Management records and discloses legal contingencies in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450 Contingencies. A provision is recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company monitors the stage of progress of its litigation matters to determine if any adjustments are required.

Common Stock Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants issued to investors as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments, based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and the applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480 and FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, or meet all of the requirements for equity classification under FASB ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures the fair value of certain of its financial instruments on a recurring basis.

A fair value hierarchy is used to rank the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

The following table sets forth the key components of Microbot’s results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Research and Development Expenses, net. The decrease in research and development expenses of approximately $0.3 million in 2025 as compared to 2024 was primarily due to increases in government grants recognized as contra research and development expenses in 2025 and a decrease in professional services in 2025 due to a material, non-recurring clinical study conducted in 2024. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses due to new hires, salary increases and bonuses above 2024 levels.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses. The increase in sales, general and administrative expenses of approximately $3.5 million in 2025 as compared to 2024 was primarily due to an increase in sales and marketing payroll and related expenses mainly due to new hiring, commercialization activities, as well as increases in professional services, including legal, audit and recruitment fees, and higher travel and office rent expenses. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expenses.

Financing Income, net. The increase in financing income in 2025 compared with 2024 was primarily driven by higher market gains earned on marketable securities, following the investments of capital raised during 2025.

Other Income. The Company received a judgment in the amount of approximately $316,000, net of legal fees and expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Through December 31, 2025, Microbot has not recognized any revenues, and cannot make any assurances of generating significant revenues in the future. Microbot has incurred losses since inception and negative cash flows from operating activities for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2025, Microbot had a net working capital of approximately $76.4 million, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. This compares to net working capital of approximately $3.4 million as of December 31, 2024. Microbot anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as it continues to ramp up manufacturing and commercialization of LIBERTY®, continues research and development efforts with respect to other uses for LIBERTY® and other potential technologies and products, and continues to incur costs associated with being a public company.

Microbot has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock, grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority, and convertible debt. Since inception (November 2010) through December 31, 2025, Microbot has raised cash proceeds of approximately $168.3 million. Since inception (November 2010) through December 31, 2025, Microbot incurred a total cumulative loss of approximately $104.1 million.

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we raised the following amounts:

• An aggregate of approximately $1.1 million in January 2025, before fees and expenses of $65,452, through our then-existing At-the-Market facility;
• In January 2025, an aggregate of approximately $15.6 million in gross proceeds, before fees and expenses of approximately $1.4 million, from institutional investors;
• In January 2025, approximately $916,000 in gross proceeds from the exercise of outstanding preferred investment options, before fees and expenses of $64,164;
• In February 2025, an aggregate of approximately $13.0 million in gross proceeds, before fees and expenses of approximately $1.2 million, from the sale of our securities to institutional investors;
• In April 2025, approximately $2.3 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of outstanding Series E and Series F preferred investment options, before fees and expenses of approximately $161,000;
• In May 2025, approximately $1.4 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of outstanding Series F preferred investment options, before fees and expenses of approximately $98,000;

35

• In June 2025, approximately $1.3 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of outstanding Series E, F and G preferred investment options, before fees and expenses of approximately $93,000;
• In July 2025, approximately $12.2 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of outstanding Series F and G preferred investment options, before fees and expenses of approximately $706,000;
• In August 2025, approximately $15.2 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of outstanding Series E, G, H, I preferred investment options, before fees and expenses of approximately $1.1 million;
• In September 2025, approximately $472,500 in gross proceeds from the exercise of outstanding Series H preferred investment options, before fees and expenses of $33,075;
• In September 2025, approximately $895,744 in gross proceeds from the exercise of placement agent options;
• In September 2025, an aggregate of approximately $26.5 million in gross proceeds from an inducement transaction exercise of outstanding preferred investment options, before fees and expenses of approximately $2.2 million, from institutional investors; and
• In October 2025, an aggregate of approximately $2.8 million in gross proceeds from the inducement transaction exercise of outstanding preferred investment options, before fees and expenses of approximately $223,000, from institutional investors.

Microbot Israel obtained from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”) grants for participation in research and development for the years 2013 through December 31, 2025 in the total amount of approximately $2.5 million. This amount includes amounts received of approximately $518,000, which are a portion of an additional grant from the IIA in the amount of approximately NIS 2.2 million (approximately $673,000) approved on July 15, 2025, to further finance the development of the manufacturing process of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System. On October 6, 2022, Microbot Israel entered into an agreement with Nitiloop Ltd. to acquire substantially all of its assets. Nitiloop received grants from the IIA in the aggregate amount of approximately $925,000 and Microbot Israel took over the liability to repay such grants.

Microbot Israel is obligated to pay royalties amounting to 3%-5% of its future sales up to the amount of the grants. The grants are linked to the exchange rate of the dollar to the New Israeli Shekel and bears interest at an annual rate of SOFR, a benchmark interest rate which replaced LIBOR. Under the terms of the grants and applicable law, Microbot is restricted from transferring any technologies, know-how, manufacturing or manufacturing rights developed using the grant outside of Israel without the prior approval of the Israel Innovation Authority. Microbot has no obligation to repay the grants, if the applicable project fails, is unsuccessful or aborted before any sales are generated.

As of December 31, 2025, Microbot received grants from the Ministry of Economy of the State of Israel in the amount of approximately $50,000, to further finance the marketing activities of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System in the U.S. market. In relation to the Ministry of Economy grant, the Company is obligated to pay royalties amounting to 3% of future sales of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System up to the grant amount plus interest.

To the extent available, Microbot intends to continue to raise capital through future public and private issuances of debt and/or equity securities, to fund its commercial activities and working capital and general business purposes, including to continue to build a commercial and sales team in the U.S. and elsewhere as part of its full market release of LIBERTY® expected in April 2026. The capital raises from issuances of convertible debt and equity securities could result in additional dilution to Microbot’s shareholders. In addition, to the extent Microbot is determined to incur additional indebtedness, Microbot’s incurrence of additional debt could result in debt service obligations, and operating and financing covenants that would restrict its operations. Microbot can provide no assurance that financing will be available in the amounts it needs, at the times it needs it or on terms acceptable to it, if at all, and will need additional funds to continue the commercialization process for the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System.

As of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, management believes we have sufficient funds for our operations for in excess of one year.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a summary of the net cash flow activity for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

The increase in net cash flows used in operating activities was primarily from an increase in research and development expenses, manufacturing inventory, sales and marketing, and general and administration expenses discussed above.

The increase of net cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in purchases of marketable securities in 2025 compared to 2024.

The increase in net cash flows provided by financing activities was due to increased issuances of common stock and warrants in 2025 compared to 2024, also discussed above.

Interest Rate Risk

Microbot’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 consisted of readily available checking and money market funds. Microbot’s primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. However, because of the short-term nature of the instruments in Microbot’s portfolio, a sudden change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material impact on Microbot’s financial condition and/or results of operations. Microbot does not believe that its cash or cash equivalents have significant risk of default or illiquidity. While Microbot believes its cash and cash equivalents do not contain excessive risk, Microbot cannot provide absolute assurance that in the future its investments will not be subject to adverse changes in market value. In addition, Microbot maintains significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents at one or more financial institutions that are in excess of federally insured limits.

Foreign Exchange Risks

Our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and financial results are denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of our business is conducted, and a substantial portion of our operating expenses are payable, in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

Exchange rate fluctuations may have an adverse impact on our future profitability, if any, or expenses as presented in the financial statements. We may in the future use financial instruments, such as forward foreign currency contracts, in its management of foreign currency exposure. These contracts would primarily require us to purchase and sell certain foreign currencies with or for U.S. dollars at contracted rates. We may be exposed to a credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties of these contracts. In addition, these financial instruments may not adequately manage our foreign currency exposure. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to successfully manage currency fluctuations in the future.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation generally affects Microbot by increasing its research and development expenses. Microbot does not believe that inflation and changing prices had a significant impact on its results of operations for any periods presented herein.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, management of the Company, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2025. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with the management of the Company, have determined that as of December 31, 2025, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) of the Exchange Act). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time. We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a -15(f) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2025, and have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
