As previously disclosed, on May 23, 2024, Actelis Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), issued a press release to announce that it had entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Quality Industrial Corp, a Nevada corporation traded on the OTC under the symbol QIND (“Target”), and Ilustrato Pictures International Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Seller”), pursuant to which Actelis will acquire from Seller and additional shareholders of Target shares of Target constituting between 61% to 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target’s share capital. The companies intended to close the transaction, pending regulatory requirements and due diligence, within 60 days.

As previously disclosed, on July 19, 2024, the Company, Target and Seller agreed to extend the non-solicitation and no-shop periods provided in the Term Sheet until August 2, 2024, unless mutually terminated earlier by the parties. On August 2, 2024, the non-solicitation and no-shop periods provided in the Term Sheet were further extended until August 16, 2024.

On August 16, 2024, the Company, Target and Seller agreed to extend the non-solicitation and no-shop periods provided in the Term Sheet until August 30, 2024, unless mutually terminated earlier by the parties.

There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated.

The information in this Item 7.01 is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings. This Current Report on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information of the information in this Item 7.01.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon management’s current expectations, beliefs and projections, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain. Such expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that, while considered reasonable are inherently uncertain. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. These and other important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this Current Report. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, various factors beyond management’s control including general economic conditions; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Target, Seller or Actelis following the announcement of the term sheet; the inability to complete the term sheet; the risk that the acquisition will disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the acquisition; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain key employees; costs related to the acquisition; the possibility that Actelis may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s estimates as of the date of this Current Report. While the Company may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, unless required by law, it disclaims any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events cause its views to change. Thus, no one should assume that the Company’s silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. More detailed information about the Company and the risk factors that may affect the realization of forward-looking statements is set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Investors and security holders are urged to read these documents free of charge on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.
