Re:

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
Filed March 12, 2025
File No. 333-285755
Ladies and Gentlemen:
By letter dated March 26, 2025, the staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Staff") issued comments on the Company's Registration Statement on Form F-1 that was filed
on March 12, 2025 (as amended on the date hereof, the "Registration Statement").
On the date hereof, the Company is filing Amendment
No. 1 to the Registration Statement simultaneously with this letter.
Below are the Company's responses to the Staff's
comment. For ease of reference, each response is preceded by the Staff's comment.
Registration Statement on Form F-1
Cover Page
1. We note that in its recent private placement, the company issued 4,076,736 Units, each consisting of
one common share, one Series A Warrant to purchase one common share and one Series B Warrants to purchase one common share. Please tell
us why you are registering 27,960,512 common shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants and 201,315,663 common shares issuable
upon exercise of the Series B Warrants.
The Company advises the Staff that the 4,076,736 Units
sold in the Company's private placement consisted of:
· 4,076,736
common shares (the “Common Shares”) (including 2,011,616 shares issuable upon
exercise of pre-funded warrants that may be exercised at any time for nominal consideration);
· 4,076,736 Series A Warrants each to purchase one Common Share (the “Series A Warrants”); and
· 4,076,736 Series B Warrants each to purchase one Common Share (the “Series B Warrants,” together
with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”).
The initial exercise prices of the Series
A Warrants and the Series B Warrants are $5.21 and $12.51, respectively. Under the terms of the Warrants, if there is no effective
registration statement registering the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, they may be exercised on a cashless basis
in accordance with the formula set forth in the Warrants. In addition, whether or not an effective registration statement is available,
the holders of the Series B Warrants may effectuate an "alternative cashless exercise." In such event, the Series B Warrants
may be exercised to receive three Common Shares for each one Common Shares then underlying the Series B Warrant without additional
consideration. On the expiration date of the Series B Warrant, it will be automatically exercised in accordance with the alternative
exercise option.
On the close of trading on the trading day immediately
after the tenth trading day following each date that (i) a resale registration statement registering for resale the Common Shares issuable
upon the exercise of the Series A and Series B Warrants (the "Warrant Shares") has been declared effective and (ii) if all
of the Warrant Shares have not been registered, the date that all of the Warrant Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred without
restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the exercise price of the unexercised
Warrants then outstanding will be reduced to equal the lowest of (A) the exercise price then in effect and (B) the greater of (I) $0.76
and (II) the lowest Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") during the immediately preceding ten trading days. Upon any such
adjustment of the exercise price, the number of issuable Warrant Shares shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price of
the unexercised Warrants on the date of issuance shall remain unchanged following such adjustment. Put another way, the aggregate price
paid upon exercise of the Warrants ($5.21 per Common Share in the case of A Warrants and $12.51 per Common Share in the case of B Warrants)
is to be divided by the floor price of $0.76 (assuming the floor price of $0.76 is greater than the lowest VWAP) to arrive at
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued following a reset of the exercise price. Attachment A illustrates the effect of the reset of
the exercise price to $0.76 on the number of Common Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants using the example of an investor
who invested approximately $2 million by purchasing 479,616 Units.
The Company registered 27,960,512 Common Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Series A Warrants and 201,315,663 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants. These numbers represent
the maximum number of Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants after giving effect to the reset of the exercise price
to the floor price of $0.76. To the extent the Warrants are exercised based on an exercise price higher than $0.76 per share, the
Company will deregister any excess shares.
2. We note your disclosure indicates that you have an "alternative cashless
exercise option." Based on your disclosures on page 72, it appears that each Series B warrant could be exercised for 3 common stock
shares on a cashless basis rather than for one share on a cash basis. Please revise your cover page disclosure to highlight that the "alternative
cashless exercise" provision would allow a Series B warrant holder to receive 3 shares of common stock without having to make any
exercise payment, and provide a materially complete discussion of the impact of such exercise on existing shareholders. Explain that as
a result you do not expect to receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of the Series B warrants because, if true, it is highly unlikely
that a warrant holder would wish to pay an exercise price to receive one share when they could choose the alternative cashless exercise
option and pay no money to receive 3 shares.
The Company has made revisions in accordance with
the Staff's comment. See the cover page of the prospectus.
Please contact the undersigned at 212-537-5852 with
any questions or comments regarding the foregoing.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Louis A. Brilleman

Statement on Form 20-F
CIK
No. 0001888151
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
By
letter dated April 8, 2022, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) issued one comment on the Company’s
Amendment No. 2 to its draft Registration Statement on Form 20-F that was submitted confidentially on March 2, 2022.
On
the date hereof, the Company has filed its initial Registration Statement on Form 20-F (the “Registration Statement”) simultaneously
with this letter. As a courtesy, undersigned is also sending by e-mail to the Staff a marked copy of the Registration Statement showing
changes from the most recent confidential submission.
Below
is the Company’s response to the Staff’s comment. For ease of reference, each response is preceded by the Staff’s comment.
Amendment
No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form 20-F
General
1. We
note your response to prior comment 10 regarding the primary growing license from the medical
cannabis unit of the Ministry of Health. We note that Exhibit 4.14 still does not list the
company, BYND Israel, or Cannasoft as a licensee or authorized party. While you indicate
that you provided the ministry with information of your “related parties,” you
have not indicated whether you have received approval or pre-approval of the assignment to
Cannasoft and its public ownership structure. Please clarify whether such approvals have
been granted or if there is uncertainty that they may not be received. Further, your response
letter indicates that your Israeli counsel has advised you that any transferee of the entity
that holds the license would have a reporting obligation to the MCU. Your disclosure on page
15 appears to broaden this language to apply not just to transfers of shares of Cannasoft,
but to shares acquired in BYND Cannasoft through public market purchases. Please disclose
what steps the company will take to track whether any person accumulates a five percent interest
in the company. Also disclose how the company will meet the other conditions of the license,
such as those set forth in Section 5.6 of Exhibit 4.14. Lastly, please clarify whether you
intend to identify Israeli counsel who advised you and file their consent as an exhibit
The
Company has added disclosures to clarify that the application for the transfer of the primary growing license is under review. It has
also added disclosures as to the steps it will take to track stock ownership. See pages 15 and 53 of the Registration Statement.
In addition, it has added language that it intends to work closely with its local Israeli counsel to ensure compliance with the conditions
set forth in the license. See page 53 of the Registration Statement.
The
Company further advises the Staff that it has sought and received informal legal advice as to the primary growing licensing requirements.
No legal opinion was ever received. Accordingly, the Company does not intend to identify Israeli counsel or seek its consent for including
that firm’s name.
Please
contact the undersigned at 973-722-1217 with any questions or comments regarding the foregoing.
Very
truly yours,

Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form 20-F
Submitted March 22, 2022
CIK No. 0001888151
Dear Mr. Ben Yaackov:
We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and have the following
comment. In our comment, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better
understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either submitting
an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration statement on
EDGAR. If you do not believe our comment applies to your facts and circumstances or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing the information you provide in response to the comment and your

Amendment No. 2 o Draft Registration Statement on Form 20-F
General
1.We note your response to prior comment 10 regarding the primary growing license from
the medical cannabis unit of the Ministry of Health. We note that Exhibit 4.14 still does
not list the company, BYND Israel, or Cannasoft as a licensee or authorized party. While
you indicate that you provided the ministry with information of your "related parties," you
have not indicated whether you have received approval or pre-approval of the assignment
to Cannasoft and its public ownership structure. Please clarify whether such approvals
have been granted or if there is uncertainty that they may not be received. Further, your
response letter indicates that your Israeli counsel has advised you that any transferree of

the entity that holds the license would have a reporting obligation to the MCU. Your
disclosure on page 15 appears to broaden this language to apply not just to transfers of
shares of Cannasoft, but to shares acquired in BYND Cannasoft through public market
purchases. Please disclose what steps the company will take to track whether any person
accumulates a five percent interest in the company. Also disclose how the company will
meet the other conditions of the license, such as those set forth in Section 5.6 of Exhibit
4.14. Lastly, please clarify whether you intend to identify Israeli counsel who advised you
and file their consent as an exhibit.

We are filing this registration statement on a voluntary basis ..., page 25
1.We note your response to prior comment 4 regarding your ability to terminate your
voluntary registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Please clarify that your
ability to voluntarily terminate the registration of your common stock is dependent on
SEC rules regarding the location of your primary trading market, the trading volume of

maintenance of a listing on a foreign stock exchange prior to deregistration, and other
factors. Refer to Exchange Act Rule 12h-6. Further, please clarify if you deregister your

decrease in value of such securities.
Executive Compensation, page 55
2.We note your response to prior comment 19 and it is still unclear what periods are
measured in your summary compensation table. You list compensation for 2022 for your
named executive officers and your response letter indicates that it represents the most
recent fiscal year. However, we note that your most recently completed fiscal year is
December 31, 2021. If you are voluntarily provided year-to-date actual compensation
paid for 2022, please provide the specific periods measured. If you are providing the
anticipated compensation for 2022, please remove these figures from the summary
compensation table, as it should only include historical compensation earned by your
named executive officers. You may provide 2022 compensation arrangements in
disclosure outside of the summary compensation table.
3.We note your response to prior comment 20 regarding your anticipated employment
arrangements with Messrs. Maram, Ben Yaackov and Tal and the removal of the expected
amounts of compensation to be paid to them if certain funding amounts are raised. While
you indicate that these are not formal agreements, please clarify if there is an
understanding and expectation that you will pay these amounts to Messrs. Maram, Ben
Yaackov and Tal under certain circumstances. If so, please disclose these amounts and
describe under what circumstances the will be paid.

Ltd. (B.Y.B.Y.)(Cannasoft) obtained a majority (54.58%) ownership interest in and
apparent control of BYND Israel via the Cannasoft Acquisition. Explain for us in
reasonable detail how you applied the specific guidance of IFRS 10 and thereby
determined that BYND Israel was the accounting acquirer in the Cannasoft Acquisition.
7.We further note from your response to comment 25 your determination that. B.Y.B.Y.
(Cannasoft) did not, on March 29, 2021, constitute a business in accordance with IFRS 3.
Tell us in this regard how B.Y.B.Y. came to hold accounts receivable and owed trade
payables prior to the March 29, 2021 Cannasoft Acquisition. Citing applicable
authoritative accounting literature, explain for us how you applied guidance of paragraphs
3, B5 through B12 of IFRS 3 in your determination that B.Y.B.Y. was not a business.
8.We have considered your response to comment 26 and note that the fair value of
intangible assets obtained through the Cannasoft Acquisition was based on the valuation
report prepared by designated professional valuator Sequeira Partners. We further note
that management is ultimately responsible for its accounting estimates and accounting
practices. Tell us and disclose the methodologies employed and the underlying material
assumptions used to determine the valuation of each material intangible asset acquired.
Tell us how management determined how such methodologies and underlying
assumptions were appropriate. Tell us and disclose B.Y.B.Y.'s (Cannasoft's) pre-
Cannasoft Acquisition historical basis in its intangible assets.
9.We note from your risk factor disclosure on the bottom of page 14 that you have
no assurance that you will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and certifications
required to operate your cannabis business as contemplated. Neither do you have any
guarantee that those licenses and certifications will be extended or renewed when
required. Given such uncertainty and the early stage of B.Y.B.Y.'s (Cannasoft's)
operations at the time of the Cannasoft Acquisition, tell us how you determined that the
fair value of your initial licenses could be reliably estimated as required by paragraph 10
of IFRS 2.

assignment agreement from Ms. Brzezinski to Cannasoft, and Exhibit 4.9, the primary
growing license for medical cannabis. Exhibit 4.9 indicates that the primary license
expires October 12, 2021. Please clarify whether this license was renewed and disclose
the renewal procedures. If there is an updated license, please file the license as an
exhibit. Further, we note that the license was entered into or renewed with October 12,
2020 listed as the authorization grant date and Ms. Bzezinkski as the applicant name. The
license indicates that authorization is non-transferable and advanced written approval is
need for change in ownership or change in the controlling shareholders, managers or
authorized signatories. Please clarify whether you have received such advanced written
approvals given the assignment and subsequent change of control of Cannasoft. Please
also clarify if a 5% change in ownership of you, as the parent company of Cannasoft,

go public on U.S. markets may impact your primary or any other future licenses, please
clarify and address in a risk factor.
