CONTENTS
Shayna Loan
On June 11, 2023, HUB Cyber Security Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Shayna LP, a Cayman Islands company (“Shayna”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Shayna agreed to lend to the Company an amount equal to NIS 5 million (approximately $1.4 million) (the “Loan”).
The Loan will not bear interest other than in the event that if certain payments under the Loan as set forth in the Loan Agreement are not timely made, the Loan will bear interest at the rate of 8% annual until paid in full.
The Loan will be convertible at the option of Shayna at a conversion price equal to a 40% discount to the lower of (i) the average closing prices of the Company’s ordinary shares during the five trading days preceding the date of the conversion notice or (ii) the average closing prices of the Company’s ordinary shares during the five trading days preceding the signing of the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also served to amend the Company’s prior loan agreement entered into in February 2023 with Shayna (the “Prior Loan Agreement”) to reduce the conversion price of the shares to be issued upon conversion of the loan granted under the Prior Loan Agreement (the “Prior Loan” and, together with the Loan, the “Shayna Loans”) to be identical to the conversion price under the Loan Agreement.
Further, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) to register (i) the shares issuable upon conversion of the Shayna Loans; (ii) the warrants issuable under the Prior Loan Agreement and (iii) the shares issuable upon exercisable of the warrants to be issued under the Prior Loan Agreement, no later than 7 days following the filing by the Company of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 20-F”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company also agreed to make every effort and take all the necessary actions so that the aforementioned registration statement will be declared effective by the SEC as early as possible after its submission to the SEC and in order for it to remain effective until all shares held by Shayna are sold or freely tradable under Rule 144 without giving effect to volume or manner of sale limitations. The Company will bear all the costs associated with such registration.
In addition, Shayna will not be allowed to convert the Shayna Loans, and the Company will not issue shares in respect of a conversion notice, if the conversion would require the approval of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with section 270(5) and section 274 of the Companies Law, and this conversion and allocation will be postponed to the earliest date given in accordance with section 270(5) and Article 274 of the Companies Law.
If, at any point following the conversion of the Loans, the Lender owns 7% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, Shayna will be entitled to require the Company, to register for resale all of the Company’s shares for resale by Shayna, as well as the Company’s shares that may be allocated upon exercising warrants, which Shayna will be entitled to as a result of the conversion of the Loans on Form F-1 or Form F-3, as applicable, within 21 days after receiving a written notice from Shayna. Additionally, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Shayna will be entitled to standard “piggyback registration rights” in the event thatthe Company submits a registration statement to the SEC to register the Company’s shares for itself or any other party, and will also be entitled to participate in any sale of shares under that registration statement. The Company has agreed to enter into a standard registration rights agreements within 14 days of signing the Loan Agreement reflecting these terms.
In connection with the Loan, the Company agreed to pay a commission equal to NIS 375,000 (approximately $105,000) together with warrants to purchase ordinary shares of the Company having a value equal to NIS 375,000 upon the date of grant to A-Labs Finance and Advisory Ltd. The Company also agreed to pay a commission equal to NIS 375,000 (approximately $105,000) to an affiliate entity of Shayna. In addition, commencing on August 10, 2023, the Company agreed to pay to Shayna a consulting fee equal to $70,000 per month (plus value added tax) in 12 equal monthly payments, totaling $840,000.
In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to enter into certain transactions (without Shayna’s approval) during the period between the signing of the Loan Agreement and the date of the issuance of shares and warrants upon conversion of the Loans, including, among others, amendment of the Company’s Articles of Association, harming Shayna’s rights under the Loan Agreement, distributing dividends and profits to shareholders, entering into related-party transactions and granting further liens on the Company’s property and assets.

Share Pledges
In order to guarantee Shayna’s rights under the Loan Agreement and to receive the brokerage and consulting fees set forth above, each of Vizerion Ltd. A-Labs and Uzi Moskovich (together the “Pledgors”), agreed to pledge all shares and warrants of the Company held by them in favor of Shayna. If the Company fails to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the Loans within 90 days of the signing of the Loan Agreement, then the Shayna may, at its sole option, foreclose on the shares, in proportion the holding of each of the Pledgors, in exchange for assigning Shayna’s rights according to the Loan Agreement to the Pledgors for the allocation of shares in the same number that was exercised by Shayna, and all other rights of Shayna under this Agreement will remain in effect. If the registration of the shares is completed and Shayna is paid in full for the consultation fee noted above, the pledges on the shares will be canceled.
The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Loan Agreement and, by its nature, is incomplete. A translated copy of the Loan Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 20-F. The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Loan Agreement, when available.

Oppenheimer Suit
On June 12, 2023, Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (“Oppenheimer”) filed a claim against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging, among other things, breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing and quantum meruit, in connection with investment banking advice and services provided by Oppenheimer in connection with the Company’s business combination with Mount Rainier Acquisition Corp. The complaint alleges that the Company owes Oppenheimer in excess of $12 million (as well as its costs and legal fees associated with the claim) with regards to the business combination, pursuant to a financial advisory agreement entered into by and between Oppenheimer and the Company in December 2021.
As of the date of this report, the Company is still examining the claim and its potential defenses and counterclaims thereto and therefore, at this stage, is unable to assess the chances for success of the claim and the outcome of the suit on the Company. The Company expects to defend against these claims vigorously.
