Camtek develops and manufactures state of the art equipment for Inspection and Metrology of wafers, our equipment is used by all the leading semiconductor manufacturers. Camtek provides Automatic Inspection and Metrology systems to find defects on individual dice on wafer before they are packaged, sorting defective dice before packaging is crucial in the semiconductor industry because a single defective device can cause a failure of the entire product. Camtek is a leading provider of Inspection and Metrology systems in its market and enabling and supporting customers’ latest technologies.

Semiconductor wafers are scanned under the advanced optic heads (2D Inspection and Metrology and 3D Metrology) in our systems, advanced software and algorithms are implemented on the scanned wafers data, as a result our systems automatically sort good dies and defective dies, the defective dies will be sort out of the production lots and will not be inserted into a package. Hence the total end product yield is enhanced by ensuring that only known good dies will be shipped to end-users. The systems are easy to operate and offer high accuracy and productivity in high volume manufacturing environments. These systems incorporate proprietary advanced image processing software and algorithms, as well as advanced electro optics and precision mechanics and are designed for easy operation and maintenance.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus contains, and any accompanying prospectus supplement will contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Also, documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus, including documents that we subsequently file with the Commission, will contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words "may," "will," "could," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "believe," "project," "plan," "assume" or other similar expressions, or negatives of those expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on the cover of this prospectus, the date of any prospectus supplement, or, in the case of forward-looking statements incorporated by reference, the date of the filing that includes the statement. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements may differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and materially adverse to our security holders. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
We have identified some of the important factors that could cause future events to differ from our current expectations and they are described in this prospectus and supplements to this prospectus under the caption "Risk Factors," as well as in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, including without limitation under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects," and in other documents that we may file with the Commission, all of which you should review carefully.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS
 
General
 
We may issue rights to purchase any of our securities or any combination thereof. Rights may be issued independently or together with any other offered security and may or may not be transferable by the person purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering to our shareholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting arrangement with one or more underwriters pursuant to which such underwriters will purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. We may also appoint a rights agent that may act solely as our agent in connection with the rights that are sold. No such agent will assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any of the holders of the rights. In connection with a rights offering to our shareholders, we will distribute certificates evidencing the rights and a prospectus supplement to our shareholders on the record date that we set for receiving rights in such rights offering.
 
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of rights in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:
 

the title of such rights;
 

the securities for which such rights are exercisable;
 

the exercise price for such rights;
 

the number of such rights issued with respect to each ordinary share;
 

the extent to which such rights are transferable;
 

if applicable, a discussion of the material income tax considerations applicable to the issuance or exercise of such rights;
 

the date on which the right to exercise such rights shall commence, and the date on which such rights shall expire (subject to any extension);
 

the extent to which such rights include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities;
 

if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or other purchase arrangement, or any agency agreement, that we may enter into in connection with the rights offering; and
 

any other terms of such rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of such rights.

Exercise of Rights
 
Each right will entitle the holder of the right to purchase for cash such securities or any combination thereof at such exercise price as shall in each case be set forth in, or be determinable as set forth in, the prospectus supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for such rights set forth in the prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.
 
Rights may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate being properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will forward, as soon as practicable, the securities purchasable upon such exercise. We may determine to offer any unsubscribed offered securities directly to persons other than shareholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting arrangements, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS  

We may issue warrants to purchase any of our securities. We may issue warrants independently or together with any other securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the warrants may be attached to or separate from those securities. Any series of warrants may be issued under a separate warrant agreement, which may be entered into between us and a warrant agent specified in a prospectus supplement. Any such warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any of the holders of the warrants. We will set forth further terms of the warrants and any applicable warrant agreements in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the issuance of any warrants, including, where applicable, the following:
 

the title of the warrants;
 
4


the aggregate number of the warrants;
 

the number and type of securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants;
 

the designation and terms of the securities, if any, with which the warrants are issued and the number of the warrants issued with each such offered security;
 

the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;
 

the price at which, and form of consideration for which, each security purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;
 

the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire;
 

the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants which may be exercised at any one time;
 

any circumstances that will cause the warrants to be deemed to be automatically exercised; and
 

any other material terms of the warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
 
As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of our ordinary shares, rights, warrants or any combination of such securities. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe:
 

the terms of the units and of the ordinary shares, rights, or warrants comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be traded separately;
 

a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units or any arrangement with an agent that may act on our behalf in connection with the unit offering; and
 

a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We may sell the offered securities on a negotiated or competitive bid basis to or through underwriters or dealers. We may also sell the securities directly to institutional investors or other purchasers or through agents. We will identify any underwriter, dealer, or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities, and any applicable commissions, discounts and other terms constituting compensation to such underwriters, dealers or agents, in a prospectus supplement.
 
We may distribute our securities from time to time in one or more transactions:
 

at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

at negotiated prices.
 
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of our securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
 
If underwriters are used in the sale of our securities, such securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Unless stated otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the obligation of any underwriters to purchase our securities will be subject to certain conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the applicable securities if any are purchased. If a dealer is used in a sale, we may sell our securities to the dealer as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. In effecting sales, dealers engaged by us may arrange for other dealers to participate in the resales.
 
5

We, or our agents may solicit offers to purchase securities from time to time. Unless stated otherwise in a prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. In addition, we may enter into derivative, sale or forward sale transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with such transaction, the third parties may, pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us or others to close out any related short positions. We may also loan or pledge securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities or, in the event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. The third party in such transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or in a post-effective amendment.
 
In connection with the sale of our securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation (in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions) from us, or from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of our securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profits on the resale of the shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Compensation as to a particular underwriter, dealer or agent might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with a transaction involving our securities. We will identify any such underwriter or agent, and we will describe any such compensation paid, in the related prospectus supplement. Maximum compensation to any underwriters, dealers or agents will not exceed any applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority limitations.
 
Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward payment of certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
If stated in a prospectus supplement, we will authorize agents and underwriters to solicit offers by certain specified institutions or other persons to purchase our securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specific date in the future. Institutions with whom such contracts may be made include commercial savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions, and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Such contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts. The obligations of any purchase under any such contract will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the securities shall not be prohibited at the time of delivery under the laws of the jurisdiction to which the purchaser is subject. The underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts.
 
If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, until the distribution of our securities is completed, Commission rules may limit the ability of any such underwriters and selling group members to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, representatives of any underwriters are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. Such transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. If the underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection with the offering (in other words, if they sell more shares than are set forth on the cover page of the prospectus supplement), the representatives of the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing securities in the open market. The representatives of the underwriters also may elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of any over-allotment option we may grant to the underwriters, as described in the prospectus supplement. In addition, the representatives of the underwriters may impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters. This means that if the representatives purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters' short position or to stabilize the price of our securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the underwriters who sold those securities as part of the offering. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilizing or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have the effect of causing the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the representatives of the underwriters may discontinue any of the transactions at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange on which our securities are traded, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

Certain of the underwriters or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with and perform services for us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of their respective businesses.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION AND INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN
INFORMATION BY REFERENCE
 
We are an Israeli company and are a "foreign private issuer" as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. As a result, (1) our proxy solicitations are not subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and (2) transactions in our equity securities by our officers and directors are exempt from Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required to file reports and financial statements with the Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we file with the Commission an Annual Report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. We also furnish Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K containing unaudited financial information for the first three quarters of each fiscal year and other material information that we are required to make public in Israel, that we file with, and that is made public by, any stock exchange on which our shares are traded, or that we distribute, or that is required to be distributed by us, to our shareholders.
 
The Commission maintains a website that contains information we file electronically with the Commission, which you can access over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov. You may also access the information we file electronically with the Commission through our website at http://www.camtek.com. The information contained on, or linked from our website does not form part of this prospectus.
 
This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 filed by us with the Commission under the Securities Act. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Commission, this prospectus does not contain all the information set forth in the registration statement and the exhibits thereto filed with the Commission. For further information with respect to us and the securities offered hereby, you should refer to the complete registration statement on Form F-3, which may be obtained from the locations described above. Statements contained in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement about the contents of any contract or other document are not necessarily complete. If we have filed any contract or other document as an exhibit to the registration statement or any other document incorporated by reference in the registration statement, you should read the exhibit for a more complete understanding of the document or matter involved. Each statement regarding a contract or other document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual document.

The Commission allows us to "incorporate by reference" the information we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus, and later information filed with the Commission will update and supersede this information. The documents listed below and any future filings made with the Commission under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act until the offering is terminated comprise the incorporated documents:

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
 
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon our directors and officers, almost all of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because the majority of our assets and investments and all of our directors and almost all of our officers are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors not residing in the United States may not be collectible within the United States. It may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters.
 
Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. final judgment in a civil matter, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws, and including a judgment for the payment of compensation or damages in a non-civil matter, provided that:
 

the judgment was given by a court which was, according to the laws of the state of the court, competent to give it;


the judgment is executory in the state in which it was given;


the judgment is no longer appealable;

8

 

the judgment was not given by a court that is not competent to do so under the rules of private international law applicable in Israel;


there has been due process;


the obligation imposed by the judgment is enforceable according to the rules relating to the enforceability of judgments in Israel and the substance of the judgment is not contrary to public policy;


the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; and


an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court or tribunal at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the U.S. court.

Even if these conditions are satisfied, an Israeli court will not enforce a foreign judgment if it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases) or if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel.
 
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

PROSPECTUS
 

April 13, 2020


PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
 Our Articles of Association allow the Company to indemnify and insure its office holders to the fullest extent permitted by law.  The indemnification letters that are granted to each of the Company's present and future office holders, cover exemption from, indemnification and insurance of, certain liabilities imposed under the Israeli Companies Law, 1999, or the Companies Law, and applicable the Israeli Securities Law, 1968, or the Securities Law.
 
Our Articles of Association provide that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, we may:
 
(1)          Obtain insurance for our office holders for liability for an act performed in their respective capacities as an office holder with respect to:
 

a breach of the duty care to us or to another person;

a breach of duty of loyalty to us, provided that the officer acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the act would not prejudice our interests; and

a financial liability imposed on an office holder for the benefit of another person.
 
Without derogating from the aforementioned, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the Securities Law, we may also enter into a contract to insure an office holder in respect of expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by an office holder in relation to an administrative proceeding instituted against such office holder or payment required to be made to an injured party, pursuant to certain provisions of the Securities Law.
 
(2)           Undertake to indemnify our office holders or indemnify an office holder retroactively for a liability imposed or approved by a court, and for reasonable legal fees incurred by the office holder in his or her capacity as an office holder, in proceedings instituted against the office holder by the Company, on its behalf or by a third party, in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was investigated but not indicted, or as a result of a conviction of a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent or as result of a proceeding in which a monetary liability was imposed regarding a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent. An advance undertaking to indemnify an office holder must be limited to categories of events that can be reasonably foreseen in light of our activities, and to an amount which is reasonable under the circumstances, as determined by the board of directors.
 
We may exempt, in advance, an office holder from all or part of such officer's liability for damages occurring as a result of a breach of the duty of care, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We may also approve an action taken by the office holder performed in breach of the duty of loyalty, if the office holder acted in good faith, the action does not adversely affect us, and the office holder has disclosed to our board of directors any personal interest in the action.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may not insure, indemnify or exempt an office holder for any (i) breach of the duty of loyalty, except that the company may enter into an insurance contract or indemnify an office holder if the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company; (ii) a breach of his or her duty of care if the act was committed recklessly or with intent, but unless the breach was solely negligent; (iii) act or omission committed with the intent to realize illegal personal gain; or (iv) fine, financial sanction or monetary settlement in lieu of criminal proceedings imposed on such office holder.
 
As required under Israeli law, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors and, to the extent required under Israeli law, our shareholders, have approved the indemnification and insurance of our office holders, as well as the resolutions necessary both to (i) exempt our office holders in advance, from any liability for damages arising from a breach of their duty of care to us, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and (ii) to provide them with the indemnification undertakings and insurance coverage they have received from us in accordance with our Articles of Association

Item 10. Undertakings
 
(a)          The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)          To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i)           To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)         To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii)         To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii) and(iii) of this section do not apply if the information otherwise required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
 
II - 2

(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3)          To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4)          To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to his paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Form F-3.
 
(5)          That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
(i)           If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
 
(A)         Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
(B)         Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus.  As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
 
 (ii)        If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
II - 3

(6)           That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i)           Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
(b)         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
(d)           The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that:
 
(1)       For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
(2)       For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Re: Camtek Ltd. - Registration Statement on Form F-3 for the Offer and Sale of Ordinary Shares

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as Israeli counsel to Camtek Ltd., an Israeli company (the "Company"), in connection with the registration on Form F-3 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and as shall be set forth in one or more supplements to the Registration Statement (each, a "Prospectus Supplement"), of any or all of the following securities (the "Securities"): (i) ordinary shares of the Company, par value of NIS 0.01 each ("Ordinary Shares"), (ii) rights to purchase any of the Company's securities or any combination thereof ("Rights"), (iii) warrants to purchase any of the Company's securities ("Warrants"), and (iv) units consisting of the Company's Ordinary Shares, Rights, Warrants or any combination of such securities ("Units"), for offer and sale from time to time in one or more offerings (the "Offer") by the Company of Securities having an aggregate offering price of up to US$ 150,000,000.
 
The Rights may be issued under a standby underwriting arrangement between the Company and one or more underwriters pursuant to which such underwriters will purchase any offered Securities remaining unsubscribed for after such Rights offering (the "Rights Agreement"), and a Rights agent that may act solely as the Company’s agent in connection with the Rights offering may be appointed (the "Rights Agent"). Any series of Warrants covered by the Registration Statement may be issued under a separate warrant agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") which may be entered into between the Company and a warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"). The Units may be issued under a unit agreement (the "Unit Agreement") between the Company and a unit agent (the "Unit Agent").
 
This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.
 
In our capacity as your Israeli counsel in connection with your preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, we have examined the Company’s Articles of Association and have attended the meeting of the board of directors of the Company held on April 13, 2020 with respect to the Offer, which were presented to us by the Company. In addition, we have examined and relied without investigation as to matters of fact upon the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto, and upon such certificates, statements and results of inquiries of public officials and office holders and representatives of the Company and originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other documents, corporate records, certificates and instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed herein.

3.
With respect to the Rights, assuming the: (a) taking of all necessary corporate action to authorize and approve the issuance and terms of any Rights, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters; and (b) due authorization, execution, issuance and delivery, in accordance with the terms of the applicable underwriting or other agreement, the Rights will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
