Exhibit 2.2


AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION
 
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of January 12, 2017, by and between AIT THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and ADVANCED INHALATION THERAPIES (AIT) Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the “Company”).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
 
Recitals
 
WHEREAS, Parent, Red Maple Ltd.., an Israeli corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and Company are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated December 29, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), relating to a merger transaction between the parties as set forth in the Merger Agreement; and
 
WHEREAS, on December 29, 2016 Merger Sub and the Company merged, said merger being completed in Israel on December 29, 2016; and
 
WHEREAS, it was contemplated that the Closing of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement would occur in connection with the closing of approximately $10 Million in financing from a number of investors (the “Financing”) investing pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement dated December 29, 2016 (the “SPA”), as amended to extend the termination date to January 13, 2017, by and among the Company and such investors; and
 
WHEREAS, the parties to the Merger Agreement agreed to close the Merger on January 9, 2017, on the mistaken belief that at least $10 Million of the Financing had or would arrive into the escrow account contemplated SPAs on or before, and the closing of the Financing under the SPA (the “Financing Closing”), would occur on January 9, 2017; and
 
WHEREAS, the parties have discovered that due to certain conditions, the entire amount of the Financing was not in escrow by, and the Financing Closing did not occur on, January 9, 2017; and
 
WHEREAS, under Section 1.3 of the Merger Agreement, the Closing Date was to occur only upon the “consummation of the Contemplated Transactions” and the Effective Time was once all parties have transferred all deliverables required in the Merger Agreement; and
 
WHEREAS, under the Merger Agreement the Contemplated Transactions are “the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement”; and
 
WHEREAS, under Section 1.11 of the Merger Agreement, if, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent or Company “to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement … the officers and directors of the [Company] and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action”; and
 
WHEREAS, due to the mistake in when a minimum of $10 Million of the Financing would be in the escrow account under the SPA and the Financing Closing would occur and in order to consummate the Contemplated Transactions of the parties to the Merger Agreement, namely the receipt of the full amount of the Financing prior to Closing, the parties to the Merger Agreement desire to amend the Merger Agreement to extend the Closing Date and the Effective Time until the time that is one hour after Financing totaling at least $10 Million has arrived in the escrow account contemplated by the SPAs, but in no event later than 5pm Eastern Time on Friday, January 13, 2017.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to the Merger Agreement hereby agree as follows:

5.          Applicable Law; Jurisdiction.  This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Israel, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.  In any action between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Amendment each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Tel-Aviv, Israel.
