Item 8.01 Other Events.
Domestic Issuer Status
As of June 30, 2018, the last business day of the second quarter of Intec Pharma Ltd. (the “Company”), the Company determined that it no longer qualified as a foreign private issuer. As a result, effective January 1, 2019, the Company is required to file periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive in certain respects, and which must be filed more promptly, than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. In addition, the Company is required to comply with U.S. proxy requirements and Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) and the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders are subject to the beneficial ownership reporting and short-swing profit recovery requirements in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company is also no longer eligible to rely upon exemptions from corporate governance requirements that are available to foreign private issuers or to benefit from other accommodations for foreign private issuers under the rules of the SEC or the Nasdaq, which would involve additional costs. The Company’s next Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018 will be filed as a domestic issuer, on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements included on Form 10-K will be presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) with such change being applied retrospectively.
