CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “Siyata,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms refer to Siyata Mobile Inc. and its subsidiaries.
NOTE ON PRESENTATION
Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F, or the Annual Report, are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, and none of the financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
On September 24, 2020, we effected a reverse share split of our issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one (1) Common Share for one hundred and forty-five (145) Common Shares, or the Reverse Split. Unless otherwise indicated, the share and per share information in this Annual Report, reflects the Reverse Split.
On August 9, 2023, we effected a reverse share split of our issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one (1) Common Share for one hundred (100) Common Shares, or the Reverse Split. Unless otherwise indicated, the share and per share information in this Annual Report, reflects the Reverse Split.
On December 4, 2023, we effected a reverse share split of our issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one (1) Common Share for seven (7) Common Shares, or the Reverse Split. Unless otherwise indicated, the share and per share information in this Annual Report, reflects the Reverse Split.
On August 2, 2024, we effected a reverse share split of our issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one (1) Common Share for eighteen (18) Common Shares, or the Reverse Split. Unless otherwise indicated, the share and per share information in this Annual Report, reflects the Reverse Split.
On December 27, 2024, we effected a reverse share split of our issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one (1) Common Share for ten (10) Common Shares, or the Reverse Split. Unless otherwise indicated, the share and per share information in this Annual Report, reflects the Reverse Split
References to “U.S. dollars” and “US$” are to currency of the United States of America, references to “CAD$” are to the currency of Canada, also known as the Canadian dollar and references to “NIS” are to the New Israeli Shekel, the currency of Israel. All financial information presented in this Annual Report is in U.S. dollars unless otherwise expressly stated.
Certain monetary amounts, percentages, and other figures included in this Annual Report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them, and figures expressed as percentages in the text may not total 100% or, as applicable, when aggregated may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the percentages that precede them. In addition, the section of this annual report on Form 20-F entitled “Item 4. Information on the Company” contains information obtained from independent industry sources and other sources that we have not independently verified.
EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS
We qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the U.S. Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions, including exemptions from various reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public traded entities that do not qualify as emerging growth companies. These exemptions include:
| ● | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and |
| ● | not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis). |
Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This means that an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Given that we currently report and expect to continue to report our financial results under IFRS as issued by the IASB, we will not be able to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required by the IASB.
ii
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of our initial public offering; (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the aggregate worldwide market value of our common shares, including common shares represented by warrants, held by non-affiliates is at least $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during any three-year period.
