Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The share price of our Class A ordinary shares has been, and may in the future be, volatile, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The market price of our Class A ordinary shares has been, and may in the future be, volatile, and may fluctuate substantially as a result of many factors, including the following: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue, financial condition, and results of operations;- variance in our financial performance from the expectations of securities analysts;- announcements by us or our direct or indirect competitors of significant business developments, changes in service provider relationships, acquisitions, or expansion plans;- changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations or differing interpretations or enforcement of laws or regulations affecting our business;- changes in our pricing model;- our involvement in litigation or regulatory actions;- sales of our Class A ordinary shares by us or our shareholders, including any sales of Class B ordinary shares, which will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon transfer thereof;- dilution of our Class A ordinary shares due to exchanges of our Exchangeable Notes being settled in Class A ordinary shares, or from derivative transactions entered into by the counterparties to the Capped Call Transactions (as defined in this Annual Report);- market conditions in our industry;- changes in key personnel;- the trading volume of our ordinary shares;- publication of research reports or news stories about us, our competition, or our industry, or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts;- changes in the estimation of the future size and growth rate of our markets; and - general economic and market conditions. As a result, volatility in the market price of our Class A ordinary shares may prevent investors from being able to sell their Class A ordinary shares. These broad market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our Class A ordinary shares, regardless of our operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of our Class A ordinary shares is low. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment. In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our Class A ordinary shares, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company, which can result in substantial costs and cause management's attention and resources to be diverted. We are involved in securities class action proceedings; see "Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory, and Tax Matters-Disputes and other legal or regulatory proceedings could adversely affect our financial results" and the section titled "Item 8.A. Financial Information-Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information-Legal Proceedings."
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2Our expectations for revenue and other results of operations have recently fallen below the expectations of public market analysts and investors and, as a result, the price of our Class A ordinary shares has declined significantly. If in the future we do not meet the expectations of securities analysts, if they cease to publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our ordinary shares, the price of our Class A ordinary shares could decline.
The trading market for our Class A ordinary shares relies in part on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about us and our business. These analysts' estimates are based upon their own opinions and are often different from our estimates or expectations. We do not have any control over these analysts. Our expectations for revenue and other results of operations have recently fallen below the estimates or expectations of public market analysts and investors. See "The success of our business depends on our ability to attract new customers, retain existing customers, and maintain or increase sales to those customers. We have recently experienced difficulty acquiring new customers cost-efficiently and, if this difficulty continues, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be adversely affected." As a result, the price of our Class A ordinary shares has declined significantly, and may decline in the future. Moreover, the price of our Class A ordinary shares could decline if one or more securities analysts downgrade our ordinary shares or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 3Our historical rapid growth may not be sustainable or indicative of future results, and we expect to encounter challenges to our business in 2026.
We have historically experienced significant and rapid growth. Our historical rate of growth may not be sustainable or indicative of our future rate of growth, and in future periods, we expect that our revenue will grow more slowly or decline. We believe that continued growth in revenue, as well as our ability to improve or maintain margins and profitability, will depend upon, among other factors, our ability to address the challenges, risks, and difficulties described elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" section. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to successfully manage any such challenges or risks to our future growth. Any of these factors could cause our revenue growth to slow or decline and may adversely affect our margins and profitability. For example, we expect to encounter challenges to our business in 2026 due to difficulty acquiring new customers cost-efficiently and, although we are actively working to respond, we can provide no assurance that our remedial actions will help restore our growth to historical rates in the longer term. See "The success of our business depends on our ability to attract new customers, retain existing customers, and maintain or increase sales to those customers. We have recently experienced difficulty acquiring new customers cost-efficiently and, if this difficulty continues, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be adversely affected." Even if we address our challenges in customer acquisition, we expect that our growth rate may slow for a number of other reasons, including if there is a slow-down in the growth of demand for our products, increased competition, a decrease in the growth or reduction in the size of our overall market, or if we cannot capitalize on growth opportunities. Failure to grow our revenue or improve or maintain margins would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. You should not rely on our historical rate of growth as an indication of our future performance.

- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1ChangedThe share price of our Class A ordinary shares has been, and may in the future be, volatile, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Financial Information-Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information-Legal Proceedings."
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2If a United States person is treated as owning 10% or more of our shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.
If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly, or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of our shares, such person may be treated as a "United States shareholder" with respect to each controlled foreign corporation (a "CFC") in our group (if any). A United States shareholder of a CFC may be required to report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of "Subpart F income," "global intangible low-taxed income," and investments in U.S. property by CFCs, regardless of whether we make any distributions. An individual that is a United States shareholder with respect to a CFC generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject a United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties, and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to such shareholder's U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. We cannot provide any assurances that we will assist investors in determining whether we are or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated as CFC or whether any investor is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any such CFC or furnish to any United States shareholder information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. The United States Internal Revenue Service has provided limited guidance on situations in which investors may rely on publicly available information to comply with their reporting and tax paying obligations with respect to foreign-controlled CFCs. A United States investor should consult its advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment in our Class A ordinary shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3As we are a "foreign private issuer" and intend to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all corporate governance rules of Nasdaq.
As a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain home country corporate governance practices rather than those of Nasdaq, provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the home country practices we are following. We rely on this "foreign private issuer exemption" with respect to Nasdaq rules for shareholder meeting quorums and the number of independent directors on our board of directors and committees thereof. See the section titled "Item 6.C. Directors, Senior Management and Employees-Board Practices-Corporate Governance Practices." We may in the future elect to follow home country practices with regard to other matters, including, for example, exemption from Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), which in certain circumstances requires an issuer to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issuance (or potential issuance) of securities equaling 20% or more of the issuer's outstanding ordinary shares or 20% or more of the outstanding voting power. If, in the future, we choose to follow this or other home country practices, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all corporate governance rules of Nasdaq.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4The market price of our Class A ordinary shares could be negatively affected by future issuances and sales of our Class A ordinary shares.
Sales by us or our shareholders of a substantial number of Class A ordinary shares, including Class B ordinary shares, which will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon transfer, in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could cause the market price of our Class A ordinary shares to decline or could impair our ability to raise capital through a future sale of, or pay for acquisitions using, our equity securities.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5An active trading market for our Class A ordinary shares may not be sustained.
An active trading market for our Class A ordinary shares may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling Class A ordinary shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies by using our shares as consideration.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6We are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, qualify for, and may rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
Our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Holtzman beneficially owns a majority of the voting power of our outstanding ordinary shares. As a result, we are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq. Under these rules, a listed company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a "controlled company" and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including: - the requirement that a majority of the board of directors be comprised of independent directors;- the requirement that our compensation committee be comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities; and - the requirement that director nominees be selected, or recommended for the board of directors' selection, either by a majority vote of the board of directors' independent directors or a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors. We currently rely on these exemptions, which overlap with exemptions available to foreign private issuers. See the section titled "Item 3.D. Key Information-Risk Factors-Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Ordinary Shares-As we are a "foreign private issuer" and intend to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all corporate governance rules of Nasdaq." For an overview of our corporate governance principles, see the section titled "Item 6.C. Directors, Senior Management and Employees-Board Practices-Corporate Governance Practices." As a result of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq and our status as a controlled company could make our ordinary shares less attractive to some investors or otherwise harm our share price.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7The dual class structure of our ordinary shares has the effect of concentrating voting power with our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.
Our Class B ordinary shares have ten votes per share, and our Class A ordinary shares have one vote per share. As a result, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Holtzman, who, based on our shares outstanding as of March 4, 2026, beneficially owns all of our issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, beneficially owns approximately 73.3% of the voting power of our outstanding shares and, as such, will be able to significantly influence matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents and any merger or other major corporate transactions that require shareholder approval. Mr. Holtzman may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated voting power may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our Company, could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately materially and adversely affect the market price of our Class A ordinary shares. Future transfers by the holders of Class B ordinary shares will result in those shares converting into Class A ordinary shares, subject to limited exceptions. For information about our dual class structure, see the section titled "Item 10.B. Additional Information-Articles of Association-Voting Rights" and Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Our amended and restated articles of association provide for exclusive forums for resolution of any claims arising under the Securities Act and certain claims under Israeli law, which may impose additional litigation costs on our shareholders.
Our amended and restated articles of association provide that, unless we consent otherwise, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any claims arising under the Securities Act (for the sake of clarification, this provision does not apply to causes of action arising under the Exchange Act). While this provision of our amended and restated articles of association does not restrict the ability of our shareholders to bring claims under the Securities Act, nor does it affect the remedies available thereunder if such claims are successful, we recognize that it may limit shareholders' ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable and may increase certain litigation costs, which may discourage the filing of claims under the Securities Act against us, our directors, and officers. However, similar forum provisions in other companies' organizational documents have been challenged in legal proceedings and there is uncertainty as to whether courts would enforce the exclusive forum provisions in our amended and restated articles of association. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated articles of association to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, our amended and restated articles of association also provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the competent courts in Tel Aviv, Israel shall be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, or other employees to us or our shareholders, or any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Law or the Israeli Securities Law.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9Provisions of Israeli law and our amended and restated articles of association may delay, prevent, or make undesirable an acquisition of all or a significant portion of our shares or assets.
Provisions of Israeli law and our amended and restated articles of association could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us or our shareholders to elect different individuals to our board of directors (the "Board"), even if doing so would be considered to be beneficial by some of our shareholders, and may limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for our Class A ordinary shares. Among other things: - Israeli corporate law regulates mergers and requires that a tender offer be effected when more than a specified percentage of shares in a company are purchased;- Israeli corporate law does not provide for shareholder action by written consent in public companies, thereby requiring all shareholder actions to be taken at a general meeting of shareholders;- Israeli corporate law requires special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers, or significant shareholders and regulates other matters that may be relevant to these types of transactions;- our amended and restated articles of association divide our directors into three classes, each of which is elected once every three years;- our amended and restated articles of association generally require a vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote present and voting on the matter at a general meeting of shareholders (referred to as simple majority); however, the amendment of a limited number of provisions, such as (i) the provisions that relate to the rights of our Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, (ii) the provision providing for the minimum and maximum number of directors that may serve on our board of directors and empowering our board of directors to determine the size of the board of directors, (iii) the provision setting forth the procedures and the requirements that must be met in order for a shareholder to require us to include a matter on the agenda for a general meeting of our shareholders, (iv) the provisions relating to the election and removal of members of our board of directors and empowering our board of directors to fill vacancies on the board of directors, and (v) the provision dividing our directors into three classes, requires a vote of the holders of 60% of the total voting power of our shareholders;- our amended and restated articles of association do not permit a director to be removed except by a vote of the holders of at least 60% of the total voting power of our shareholders;- our dual class ordinary share structure provides our existing shareholders holding Class B ordinary shares with the ability to significantly influence the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval, even if they own significantly less than a majority of our outstanding ordinary shares; and - our amended and restated articles of association provide that director vacancies may be filled by our board of directors. Further, Israeli tax considerations may make potential transactions undesirable to us or to some of our shareholders whose country of residence does not have a tax treaty with Israel granting tax relief to such shareholders from Israeli tax. For example, Israeli tax law does not recognize tax-free share exchanges to the same extent as U.S. tax law. With respect to mergers, Israeli tax law allows for tax deferral in certain circumstances but makes the deferral contingent on the fulfillment of numerous conditions, including a holding period of two years from the date of the transaction during which certain sales and dispositions of shares of the participating companies are restricted. Moreover, with respect to certain share swap transactions, the tax deferral is limited in time, and when such time expires the tax becomes payable even if no disposition of the shares has occurred.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10Your rights and responsibilities as our shareholder are governed by Israeli law, which may differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. corporations.
We are incorporated under Israeli law. The rights and responsibilities of holders of our Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are governed by our amended and restated articles of association and the Israeli Companies Law (the "Companies Law"). These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in typical U.S. corporations. In particular, pursuant to the Companies Law, each shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith and in a customary manner in exercising his, her, or its rights and fulfilling his, her, or its obligations toward the company and other shareholders, and to refrain from abusing his, her, or its power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters such as amendments to the company's articles of association, increases in the company's authorized share capital, mergers, and certain transactions requiring shareholders' approval under the Companies Law. In addition, a controlling shareholder of an Israeli company or a shareholder who possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote, who has the power to appoint or prevent the appointment of a director or officer in the company, or has other powers toward the company, has a duty of fairness toward the company. However, Israeli law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness. There is little case law available to assist in understanding the implications of these provisions, and they may be interpreted to impose additional obligations and liabilities on our shareholders that are not typically imposed on shareholders of U.S. corporations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us, our officers, and our directors in Israel or the United States, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or serve process on our officers and directors.
Not all of our directors or officers are residents of the United States, and most of their and our assets are located outside the United States. Service of process upon us or our non-U.S. resident directors and officers, and enforcement of judgments obtained in the United States against us or our non-U.S. resident directors and officers may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Additionally, we have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel that it may be difficult to assert claims under U.S. securities laws in original actions instituted in Israel or obtain a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws against us or our non-U.S. officers and directors because Israel may not be 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 must be proved as a fact, 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 addressing the matters described above. Israeli courts might not enforce judgments rendered outside Israel, which may make it difficult to collect on judgments rendered against us or our non-U.S. officers and directors. Moreover, an Israeli court will not enforce a non-Israeli judgment if it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases), if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel, if it was obtained by fraud or in the absence of due process, if it is at variance with another valid judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties, or if a suit in the same matter between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel at the time the foreign action was brought.
