Summary
The Business Combination Agreement
Merger Consideration, page 28
5.Your disclosure here and on page 119 indicates that ZOOZ intends to effect a stock split
to cause the implied value of the outstanding ZOOZ ordinary shares to equal $10 per share
prior to the Effective Time. Please explain how the reverse share split based on the
conversion ratio of approximately 11.4168 disclosed throughout the filing will result in an
implied value of ZOOZ ordinary shares of $10 per share prior to the Effective Time,
considering the trading price of ZOOZ ordinary shares on the TASE.
Summary
Redemption Rights, page 33
6.Your disclosure here that the minimum cash condition is 5,000,001 is inconsistent with
your disclosure elsewhere in the filing which states that the minimum cash condition is
$10 million. Please revise or advise.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment, page 35
7.You indicate here and on page 43 that ZOOZ’s existing shareholders may have the
greatest voting interest in the Combined Company under either redemption scenarios.
Please explain the basis for this assertion, considering that, under the No Redemption
Scenario, Keyarch’s existing shareholders, including the EBC Shares, are expected to own
50.3% of the Combined Company and ZOOZ’s existing shareholders are expected to only
have 49.7% ownership in the Combined Company based on the charts on pages 17 and 45.

8.We note that you have designated the federal district courts of the United States as the
sole and exclusive forum for claims arising under both the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act. Please revise your risk factor to highlight that Section 22 of the Securities
act grants concurrent jurisdiction to both state and federal courts. Additionally, revise to
highlight that the exclusive forum provision may have the impact of discouraging claims

9.Your charter waived the corporate opportunities doctrine. Please address this potential
conflict of interest and whether it impacted your search for an acquisition target.

significant decline in their market price. Please expand this risk factor to highlight the
impact that additional redemptions may have on your ability to fund the surviving

favorable terms, if at all. Discuss the downward pressure potential sales of securities
following additional capital raising transactions may have on the trading price of the
combined entity.
