Please disclose the specific nature of the IPR&D acquired and address the accounting for this asset subsequent to the acquisition. Please also clarify if and how the obligation to pay cash and issue shares
under the Earnout are reflected in the pro forma financial statements.
Response to Comment 3: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that Peace of Meat has a proprietary stem-cell-based technology. This technology is
comprised of two components: (i) choosing cells from cattle, chicken or geese, and (ii) growing the cells in a proper way with the right concentration, in order to produce animal fats without harming the animals. The technology is currently in the
development stage and is operating in a lab in small quantities. The Company anticipates approximately two years of development to reach the commercial stage.
Under IFRS Guidelines, a single identifiable asset shall include any asset or group of assets that would be recognized and measured as a single identifiable asset in a business combination. As the two
components of the technology described above have the same commercial purpose and are both used to produce cultured fat, the Company considers them to be one technology asset.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Division of Corporation Finance
Office of Manufacturing
January 27, 2021
Page 3
The Company has identified and estimated the value of the assets acquired from Peace of Meat under the concentration test method in accordance with IFRS 3, which indicates that more than 90% of the
value is concentrated in the IPR&D. Therefore, the Company has determined that the acquisition should be recognized as an asset acquisition and not a business combination.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the IPR&D asset will not be depreciated until the development has reached the commercial stage. The Company will annually test the need for impairment in accordance
with IAS 36.
The earnout amount is tied to the completion of four future technological milestones. The four milestones include specific performance conditions, including, among others, bioreactor size and cell
density per milliliter. The earnout consideration amounts to a maximum amount of EUR 7.5 million comprised of approximately EUR 3.9 million in cash and approximately EUR 3.6 million in Meat-Tech shares.
With respect to variable payments in the case of an asset acquisition, per the IFRIC update from March 2016, the Interpretations Committee discussed the accounting for variable payments that are made
if the asset acquired complies with agreed-upon specifications at specific dates in the future (such as a standard production capacity or a standard performance). These are payments that the purchaser will have to make if the asset acquired is
capable of providing at specific dates in the future a specific performance agreed upon with the seller. These payments are not dependent on the purchaser's future activity. As the variable consideration depends on performance conditions, the
acquirer can elect an accounting policy whereby the obligation will be recognized when the future activity occurs.
As the earnout payments are dependent on performance conditions, and there is uncertainty related to Peace of Meat achieving the performance milestones, management has elected to recognize and
capitalize the earnout payments to the IPR&D asset once the milestones are met.

We note your Form F-1/A includes audited financial statements that are older than 12 months. Since it appears this represents an IPO for your ADSs, please explain your consideration of Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F,
and the corresponding instructions, which indicates that audited financial statements should generally not be older than 12 months at the time of filing but also indicates audited financial statements not older than 15 months may be permitted
if a company is able to represent the following:
•
The company is not required to comply with the 12 month requirement for the age of financial statements in any other jurisdiction outside the United States; and
•
Complying with the 12 month requirement is impracticable or involves undue hardship.
If you meet the above criteria, please provide a representation from management that says you meet the criteria and file that representation as an exhibit to your registration
statement. If you do not meet the criteria or if your registration statement is not declared effective before 3/31/21, please provide updated audited financial statements and related disclosures.
Response to Comment No. 5: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that its securities are listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and that therefore a
representation under Item 8.A.4. of Form 20-F is not required. See also Division of Corporation Finance, Financial Reporting Manual, Section 6220.3. The Company
advises the Staff that if its registration statement is not declared effective before March 31, 2021, it will provide updated audited financial statements and related disclosures.

You indicate that Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. has the ability to elect, appoint or remove the members of the governing body of the combined entity. On page F-31, you appear to indicate that four MeaTech directors
were appointed to the Company's board of directors but in your response, you indicate that you appointed new directors constituting half (three out of six) of the members of the board of directors of Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. Clarify whether you
appointed a majority of the board of directors and confirm whether you have the authority to elect, appoint or remove a majority of the board of directors;

Response to Comment No. 6, Bullet Point No. 1: The Company respectfully confirms to the Staff that the Company has the authority to elect, appoint and remove all members of the board of
directors. The Company also confirms that it controlled the appointment of a majority of the immediate post-merger board of directors (three out of five), by (i) appointing its Chief Executive Officer as a non-external director (as defined below) and
(ii) deciding in its sole discretion that, rather than immediately electing additional non-external directors, it would allow two non-external directors of Ophectra to remain. These directors were retained based on their business experience or
financial expertise, as well as to maintain sound corporate governance. The directors that remained on the board following the merger were not involved in Ophectra’s business. Shortly after the merger, one of the remaining directors resigned and the
Company appointed two additional directors, including the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, neither of whom were associated with Ophectra. This brought the number of directors appointed or requested to remain by the post-merger Company to
four, with the remaining two being external directors, and hence not affiliated with either Ophectra or the Company. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page F-31 of the Amended Draft Registration
Statement to better reflect these details, in response to the Staff’s comment.
Companies organized under Israeli law and traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange are required to have two groups of directors, “non-external directors” and “external directors.” Israeli corporate law
currently requires at least two external directors and does not set limits on the number of non-external directors. Under Israeli corporate law and the Company’s articles of association, its non-external directors are to be elected by the vote of
holders of a simple majority of ordinary shares participating in the vote. The election of the Company’s two external directors requires the vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares as well as holders of a majority of ordinary shares not
owned by controlling shareholders. As the Company has no controlling shareholder, the threshold is the same in practice. Likewise, a simple majority of ordinary shares participating in a vote are entitled to remove non-external directors.
Immediately prior to the merger, the outstanding equity of Ophectra consisted of 19,870,337 ordinary shares. Immediately following the merger, these shares represented 39.4% of the outstanding equity
of the merged company. Since then, the Company has allocated additional ordinary shares, primarily to investors in the post-merger Meat-Tech 3D and its business, who, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, had no connection to Ophectra. As a result,
the outstanding equity of Ophectra immediately prior to the merger, together with warrants allocated by Ophectra and exercised into an aggregate 4,626,569 ordinary shares since the merger, now represent 30.7% of the 79,866,264 ordinary shares of the
Company’s outstanding equity. The shares allocated to founders of and investors in the pre-merger target/surviving Company collectively hold 69.3% of the Company’s outstanding equity. It is through this share ownership that the Company, and not
Ophectra, holds more than a majority of the outstanding shares and therefore has the authority to elect, appoint or remove a majority of the board of directors.

You indicate that the relative market value of Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. was significantly higher than that of Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. (formerly Ophectra) prior to the reverse acquisition. Help us understand how you
determined the relative market value of both entities and tell us what consideration you gave to using assets, revenues and profit in your analysis of relative size. Refer to paragraph B16 of IFRS 3;
Response to Comment No. 6, Bullet Point No. 2: In accordance with paragraph B16 of IFRS 3, “The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose relative size

The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it determined that assets, as an example of relevant size comparison, is not relevant to examine the relative size
of the two pre-merger companies. This determination was made because Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. (formerly MeaTech Ltd.) is in the research and development stage and does not capitalize expenses, and therefore the size of Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. (formerly
MeaTech Ltd.) isn’t represented by the assets on its balance sheet. It was further determined that the revenu

Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. (“Meat-Tech” or the “Company”), we are confidentially submitting this letter in response to a letter, dated November 23, 2020, from the staff (the “Staff”)
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the Company’s Confidential Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 submitted to the Commission on October 27, 2020 (the “Draft Registration Statement”). The
Company is concurrently confidentially submitting Amendment No. 1 to the Draft Registration Statement (the “Amended Draft Registration Statement”), which includes changes to reflect responses to the Staff’s comments and other updates.
The numbering of the paragraphs below corresponds to the numbering of the comments in the letter from the Staff. For the Staff’s convenience, we have incorporated the text of the Staff’s comments into
this response letter in italics. Unless otherwise indicated, page references in the responses correspond to the page numbers in the Amended Draft Registration Statement, and page references otherwise correspond to the page numbers in the Draft
Registration Statement. Capitalized terms used in this letter but otherwise not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended Draft Registration Statement.
The responses provided herein are based upon information provided to Covington & Burling LLP by the Company. In addition to confidentially submitting this letter via EDGAR, we are sending you
supplementally the Amended Draft Registration Statement (marked to show changes from the Draft Registration Statement).

Please reconcile the list of excluded shares presented in the bullets on page 9 with the related disclosures presented on pages 43 and 45.
Response to Comment No. 2: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the list of excluded shares presented in the bullets on page 10 of the Amended Draft Registration Statement reflects
the number of ordinary shares issuable as of the most recent practicable date. As a result, the share totals included in these bullets reflect developments subsequent to the most recent balance sheet date, which is the basis for the disclosures
presented on pages 47 and 49.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 12

You indicate that summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data will give effect to the planned acquisition of Peace of Meat, B.V., or POM, as described in “Business” and
“Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”. Please demonstrate to us how you determined whether additional historical financial statements will be required under Item 4 of Form F-1 for this probable acquisition. Please
provide all required historical and pro forma financial statements in your amended filing.
Response to Comment No. 3: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it considered the need to provide financial statements under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X in connection with its
acquisition of POM, by evaluating the significance of POM to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the Rule, the financial statements of a recent or probable acquisition must be included in a registration statement if
the probable acquisition is determined to be significant applying the investment, income and asset tests set forth under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X by comparing the most recent annual financial statements of the business likely to be acquired, to
the registrant’s most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements filed on or prior to the date of filing the registration statement.

The Company determined that POM is a significant subsidiary under the aforementioned tests when compared to the Company’s December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements, with significance in
excess of 20% for the investment and asset tests, and 50% for the income test. As a result, the financial statements of POM are required to be provided in the Registration Statement under Rule 3-05.
The Company further advises that it has provided audited annual and unaudited interim pre-acquisition financial statements of Peace of Meat BV, as well as unaudited pro forma combined financial
information in the Amended Draft Registration Statement.

to amend the deposit agreement without ADS holder consent and the limitation of liability provision, respectively.

You indicate that at the time of completing the Merger, Meat-Tech 3D (f/k/a Ophectra) was a shell company without significant business operations, and as such the Merger is not considered a
business acquisition as defined in IFRS 3, that the Company is the acquirer of the business for accounting purposes, and therefore the transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition that does not constitute a business combination. Please
more fully address the following:
•
Explain to us how you determined Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. (formerly MeaTech Ltd.) is the accounting acquirer. Refer to Paragraphs B14-18 of IFRS 3;
Response to Comment No. 9: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that, in accordance with Paragraph B7 of IFRS 3, the Company determined that Opechtra was not a business at the time of the
merger, as Opechtra did not have processes that can be applied to inputs to create outputs as defined in Paragraph B7. Therefore, the Company applied the guidance in the IFRIC Update - 12 and 13 March 2013, whereby it applied by analogy the reverse
acquisition guidance in IFRS 3, and accounted for the transaction as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with IFRS 2.
4
Paragraphs B14-B18 of IFRS 3 provide several factors to consider, and, based on these factors, the Company determined that Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. is the accounting acquirer based on the following:
•
The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose owners as a group retain or receive the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined entity. In accordance with the merger agreement, the majority
(60%-68%) of the voting rights belong to Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. (formerly MeaTech Ltd., the private entity, or accounting acquirer).
•
The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose owners have the ability to elect, appoint or remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined entity. In accordance with the merger
agreement, Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. has the ability to elect, appoint or remove the members of the governing body of the combined entity. Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. appointed new directors constituting half (three out of six) of the members of
the board of directors of Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. (formerly Ophectra, the combined entity). The three remaining directors are independent directors who are not representatives of Ophectra.
•
The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose (former) management dominates the management of the combined entity. The management of Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. post-merger is the same management of Chicken
Meat-Tech Ltd., while none of Ophectra’s management continued with the Company.
•
The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose relative size is significantly greater than that of the other combining entity or entities. The relative market value of Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. is
significantly higher than that of Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. (formerly Ophectra) prior to the reverse acquisition. Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. was a company without active operations prior to the merger, while Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. was an operating company.
In addition, in accordance with Item B19, reverse acquisitions sometimes occur when an active private entity wishes to become a public entity but does not wish to list its shares for trading. To this
end, the private entity organizes a public entity to acquire its capital rights in exchange for the issuance of capital rights of the public entity. In our case, although the public entity (Meat-Tech 3D Ltd.) is the legal acquirer because it has
issued its capital rights, it is considered the accounting acquiree based on the guidance in paragraphs B13–B18. Therefore, the private entity (Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd.), although it is the legal acquiree (because its capital rights have been legally
acquired), is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes (i.e., the accounting acquirer).
5
In light of the factors discussed above, for accounting purposes the public entity, Meat-Tech 3D Ltd., has been identified as the accounting acquiree, and the private entity, Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd.,
has been identified as the accounting acquirer.

Demonstrate to us how you determined historical financial statements for Meat-Tech 3D (f/k/a Ophectra) are not required under Item 4 of Form F-1. Although you indicate Meat-Tech 3D (f/k/a
Ophectra) was s shell company without significant business operations, based on their investigation in Therapin, it appears to us their assets exceeded your assets as of the merger date; and
The Company respectfully advises the Staff that, in determining the financial statement requirements under Item 4 of Form F-1, we considered financial reporting requirements under IFRS, relevance of
historical financial statements of Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. (formerly Ophectra) and relevant Commission guidance.
Under IFRS 3.B21 “Consolidated financial statements prepared following a reverse acquisition are issued under the name of the legal parent (accounting acquiree) but described in the notes as a
continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (accounting acquirer).” Furthermore, “Comparative information presented in those consolidated financial statements is also retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the
legal parent (accounting acquiree).”
Section 12210 of the Commission’s Financial Reporting Manual states:
For accounting purposes, the legal acquiree is treated as the continuing reporting entity that acquired the registrant (the legal acquirer). Reports filed by the registrant after a reverse acquisition
or reverse recapitalization should parallel the financial reporting required under GAAP—as if the accounting acquirer were the legal successor to the registrant's reporting obligation as of the date of the acquisition.
The most recent financial statements included in the Amended Draft Registration Statement are interim statements of Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. as at June 30, 2020, which reflect a continuation of the financial
statements of the accounting acquirer, Chicken MeaTech Ltd. (formerly MeaTech Ltd.). The audited financial statements as at December 31, 2019, however, pre-date the reverse acquisition transaction. In order to provide consistent and relevant
information, we determined that such financial statements should be those of Chicken Meat-Tech Ltd. We also believe that since there was no continuity of the legal acquirer's operations, the acquisition does not meet the definition of an acquisition
of a business under the Commission’s rules and that disclosure of prior financial information of the legal acquirer would not be material to obtaining an understanding of future operations.

Regarding Meat-Tech 3D Ltd.’s (formerly Ophectra) investment in Therapin, the investment was passive in nature and did not represent a revenue producing activity. Furthermore, the
