CEO Khalid Assari (appointed 2025) has relevant sector background, but executive share ownership is limited. The company is a Nasdaq “controlled company”: approximately 71 percent of voting power is held via Lighthouse Capital/Lighthouse Settlement, a discretionary trust for the benefit of Yariv Elbaz and family.

This structure enables exemptions from certain governance requirements and raises minority‑holder alignment questions. Execution track record since listing shows heavy financing needs, related‑party dealings, and a going‑concern emphasis in 2025.
