Under the Companies Law, companies incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel whose shares are listed for trade on a stock exchange or have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel are required to adopt a policy governing the compensation of "office holders", as defined in the Companies Law. In general, all office holders’ terms of compensation – including fixed remuneration, bonuses, equity compensation, retirement or termination payments, indemnification and the grant of an exemption from liability – must comply with the Company's compensation policy, once adopted.

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the compensation policy must comply with specified criteria and guidelines and, in general, must take into consideration, among others, the following factors: (i) promoting the Company’s goals, its working plan and its long term policies; (ii) creating proper incentives for the Company’s office holders taking into account, inter alia, the risk management policies of the Company; (iii) the Company's size and nature of its operations; and (iv) with respect to variable elements of compensation taking into consideration, with a long term perspective and in light of the position of the office holder, the contribution of the office holder in achieving the Company's goals and profits.

Our Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of our Audit Committee, has resolved to approve certain amendments to our Compensation Policy in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement (the "Amended Compensation Policy").

Under the Companies Law, arrangements regarding the compensation of a company’s Chief Executive Officer require the approval of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors and the Shareholders, in that order (except in certain specific cases referred to in the Companies Law).

 

Mr. David Mahlab has served as our Chief Executive Officer since February 1, 2011.

 

On March June 2711, 2018 our Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved the grant to the Chief Executive Officer of 120,000 Restricted Stock Units, in consideration for a price per share equal to the par value of the Company's Shares (the "RSUs"). The RSUs shall vest as follows:

 

(i)84,000 RSUs shall vest over a period of four (4) years, subject to meeting certain revenues and non GAAP profit targets (together, the "Variable RSUs Compensation") as follows:

 

·42,000 RSUs shall vest over a period of four (4) years, subject to meeting sales growth targets (in local currency in each applicable territory) of 10% a year, and up to 40% in the fourth year based on the audited and reviewed financial statements of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2017 (the "Sales Growth Target", and "2017 Financials" respectively). The Sales Growth Target shall take into consideration both organic growth (namely sales growth increase resulting from Company activities) and inorganic growth (namely sales growth increase resulting from mergers and acquisitions), and shall be calculated on a linear basis, over a period of four years.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the vesting of such RSUs shall be subject to the following (the "Accumulated Annual Cap"): (a) in respect of the first year - not more than 10,500 RSUs shall vest; (b) in respect of the first year and the second year - not more than 21,000 RSUs shall vest; (c) in respect of the first year, the second year and the third year - not more than 31,500 RSUs shall vest; and (d) in respect of the first year, the second year, the third year and the fourth year - not more than 42,000 RSUs shall vest.

 

 

 13 

 

·an additional 42,000 RSUs shall vest over a period of four (4) years, subject to meeting Non-GAAP profit targets (in local currency in each applicable territory), calculated based on the 2017 Financials (the "Non-GAAP Profit Target" and together with the Sales Growth Target, the "Targets"), as follows: (a) a minimum Non-GAAP profit of 90% per year and 360% in the aggregate over four (4) years, compared to the Non-GAAP profit as set forth in the 2017 Financials; and (b) a maximum Non-GAAP profit of 110% per year and 440% in the aggregate over a period of four (4) years compared to the Non-GAAP profit as set forth in the 2017 Financials. The Non-GAAP Profit Target shall take into consideration both organic growth (namely Non-GAAP profit growth increase resulting from Company activities) and inorganic growth (namely Non-GAAP profit growth increase resulting from mergers and acquisitions), and shall be calculated on a linear basis, over a period of four (4) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting of such RSUs shall be subject to the Accumulated Annual Cap.

 

Variable RSUs Compensation Calculation:

 

·The meeting of the Targets shall be examined on an annual basis after approval by the Board of Directors of the audited and reviewed annual financial statements.

 

·The calculation of the entitlement to receive the RSUs shall be made on accumulated basis, year to year. The issuance of the RSUs shall be subject to the Chief Executive Officer being an employee of the Company on March 31 of each applicable year and actual issuance shall be made within 30 days from the date of approval of the audited and reviewed annual financial statements by the Board of Directors of the Company, in respect of each applicable year.

 

·Should the Chief Executive Officer not meet a Target of one year but shall exceed a Target in the following year, the Chief Executive Officer shall be entitled in such following year to the portion of the RSUs not vested in the previous year, in accordance with the following formula:

 

 

Annual Vesting = CTD Base

 

CTD Actual – CTD Minimum

CTD Vested

   

CTD Target – CTD Minimum

 

Where –

 

·Annual Vesting – The quantity of RSUs to vest in a specific year;

 

·CTD Base – Contract to Date RSUs base (i.e. for each Target: first year – 10,500 RSUs, second year - 21,000, third year - 31,500, fourth year – 42,000).

 

·CTD Target – The accumulated Target since December 31, 2017.

 

·CTD Actual – The accumulated actual achievement (i.e. sales growth or Non GAAP profit) since December 31, 2017.

 

 

 14 

 

·CTD Minimum – The accumulated minimum target (i.e. sales growth or Non GAAP profit) since December 31, 2017.

 

·CTD Vested – The RSUs quantity vested in previous years.

 

* The Annual Vesting - CTD Vested shall not exceed the Accumulated Annual Cap.

* The vesting of RSUs per the calculation above shall be final and in no event shall the Chief Executive Officer be required to return any vested RSUs.

 

(ii)36,000 RSUs shall vest in four (4) equal installments over a period of four (4) years, such that at the end of each twelve (12) month period commencing on March 27, 2018 (namely, first vesting date March 27, 2019), the Chief Executive Officer shall be entitled to 25% of the RSUs; provided that the Chief Executive Officer shall continue to be employed by the Company at each of the applicable vesting dates.

 

Notwithstanding the vesting schedule of the RSUs, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the vesting of the RSUs shall accelerate and the RSUs shall become fully vested: (a) sale of all outstanding share capital of the Company; (b) merger of the Company into another corporation under which the Company ceases to exist or becomes wholly-owned by the other corporation; or (c) sale of the entire holdings in the Company held by DBSI, the controlling Shareholder of the Company, as a result of which the Chief Executive Officer’s employment in the Company is terminated, either by the Company, or by the Chief Executive Officer in circumstance(s) which shall be considered as dismissal under applicable law, during the twelve (12) month period following the date of the sale or in the event that the Company terminates the employment of the Chief Executive Officer up to three (3) months prior to such sale.

 

In addition, in the event of the Chief Executive Officer’s death during his employment with the Company, the vesting of the RSUs shall be accelerated on a linear basis as of the prior vesting date until the date of death.

 

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors also determined that the grant of RSU's to the Chief Executive Officer is in compliance with the Company's Compensation Policy. The terms of the proposed grants of RSUs shall be in accordance with the Company's Global Share Incentive Plan (2013) (the "Plan").

 

The RSUs to be granted to the Chief Executive Officer constitute, as of March 27, 2018, 1.488% of the Company's issued share capital. The value of the RSUs is estimated, as of March 27, 2018, to be US$ 1,713,541 based on the Black & Scholes formula.

COMPENSATION POLICY

 

General

 

This compensation policy for Office Holders of the Company, which has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be known as the Pointer Telocation Ltd. Compensation Policy, as may be amended from time to time (the "Compensation Policy").

 

The purpose of the Compensation Policy is to set the guidelines relating to the compensation of Office Holders of the Company, in accordance with Amendment 20 to the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the "Companies Law") and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company is an Israeli public company, whose shares are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company, following the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, shall be the corporate body tasked with reviewing and approving the Compensation Policy from time to time, and ensure that the Compensation Policy: (i) advances the goals of the Company, its working plan and its long term policies; (ii) creates proper incentives for its Office Holders taking into account, inter alia, the risk management policies of the Company; (iii) reflects the Company's size and the nature of its operations; and (iv) with respect to Variable Compensation takes into consideration, with a long term perspective and in light of the position of the Office Holder, the contribution of the Office Holder in achieving the Company’s goals and profits.

 

The guidelines in this Compensation Policy, as detailed below have been proposed by the Compensation Committee and adopted by the Board of Directors as part of an organized internal procedure conducted by the Company. They are based on principals that will allow for an adequate balance between the wish to incentivize Office Holders for their successes on the one hand, and the need to ensure that the compensation structure is in line with the best interests of the Company's shareholders and the Company's strategy in the long term on the other hand. The Compensation Policy is aimed to provide for fair and adequate compensation to all Office Holders based on their industry benchmarks, skill level, seniority, location characteristics and such other considerations.

 

Nothing in this Compensation Policy shall grant any specific rights to any of the Office Holders to whom this Compensation Policy applies and/or other employees of the Company, and/or to any third party, and no Officer Holder or employee may make any claim and/or demand against the Company, based on the guidelines set forth herein. Office Holders of the Company may waive their entitlement to their compensation, subject to applicable law (including applicable labor laws).

 

It is clarified that compensation paid to current or former Office Holders of the Company is subject to a clawback policy that allows the Company to recover compensation in certain circumstances where there has been a material misrepresentation or material error resulting in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the clawback policy will not be triggered in the event of a financial restatement due to changes in the applicable reporting or accounting standards. The above noted clawback policy does not derogate from any relevant clawback provisions under applicable law or regulatory rules which apply to the Company.

It should be clarified, that nothing in this Compensation Policy shall prevent the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors or the shareholders, as applicable, from adopting a resolution regarding compensation of Office Holders and/or any other employees that is not in accordance with this Compensation Policy provided such resolution is approved by the required corporate bodies as set forth in the Companies Law.

 

This Compensation Policy shall be in force until such time as revised by the Board of Directors acting on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, from time to time, provided however that the Compensation Policy shall be re-approved by the relevant corporate bodies as may required under the Companies Law (currently once every period of three years).

The composition of the Compensation Committee shall be as set forth in the Companies Law, which currently states that it be comprised of at least three directors, including all of a Company’s external directors, which must constitute a majority of the committee. One of the external directors serving on the Compensation Committee shall act as its Chairperson. All other members of the Compensation Committee must be directors who are (a) otherwise eligible under the Companies Law to serve on a publicly traded company’s Audit Committee; and (b) whose Terms of Office and Employment are otherwise consistent with that of external directors at Israeli publicly traded companies.

These rights may be applied by the Board of Directors also in respect of yearly objectives of which the Office Holders have already been advised of so long as the payment has not actually been made, and all subject to the requirements of the law and to the contractual undertakings entered into between the Company and the Office Holders.

 

Principals in Adopting the Compensation Policy for Office Holders

 

In establishing compensation for Officer Holders the Company is required to take into consideration the following parameters, as they may be relevant to the Office Holder:

 

a.The education, skills, expertise and achievements of the Office Holder;

 

b.The role of the Office Holder, areas of his/her responsibility and previous agreements with the Office Holder;

 

c.The correlation of the proposed terms with the compensation of other employees of the Company, including the average and median salary of the other employees of the Company, and of employees employed through third party contractors and the possible ramifications such differences in compensation may have on the employment relations in the Company;

 

d.The ability of the Board of Directors to reduce the value of the Variable Compensation or determine a cap on the exercise value of equity based components of compensation that are not paid out in cash;

 

e.As to Severance Grants - to consider the length of the term of office or period of employment, the terms of employment during such period, the Company’s success during said period and the Office Holder’s contribution to obtaining the Company’s goals and maximizing its profits as well as the circumstances and context of the termination.

 

This Compensation Policy is based on the Company's objectives, its work plan, its financial status and its long term goals as well as the industry sector in which the Company is active.

 

This Compensation Policy takes into consideration the contribution of each department to the success of the Company and provides for a balance between the achievements of each department and the Company as a whole. It also takes into consideration the appropriate ratio between variable components and fixed components, to ensure that the Variable Compensation does not cause conflicts with the overall interest of the Company.

To further this objective, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors oversee our compensation program to support and reward the achievement of our financial goals and to promote the attainment of other key business objectives. In order to conduct our business effectively, we must attract, motivate and retain highly qualified Office Holders and employees. Our compensation program is designed to reward high performance and innovation, to promote accountability and to ensure that interests of Officer Holders, as well as other managers and employees are aligned with the interests of our shareholders.

 

The primary objectives of the compensation program are to:

 

·align incentives, including bonus targets, the Board of Directors determined Performance Measures and equity grants, with Company fiscal performance as well as achievement of strategic objectives that create shareholder value;

 

 

 10 

 

·retain and encourage high potential team players to build a career at the Company;
·provide incentives that are cost-efficient, competitive with other organizations and fair to employees and shareholders; and
·design a balanced approach to compensation that properly aligns incentives with Company performance and shareholder value and does not promote inappropriate risk taking.

 

Working with management, the Compensation Committee has developed a Compensation Policy which includes a compensation, bonus and benefits strategy for Office Holders which is designed to reward performance, maintain a reasonable wage structure throughout the organization and to reinforce a culture that the Compensation Committee believes will promote the long-term success of the Company.

 

The compensation program rewards team accomplishments and promotes individual accountability. Variable Compensation depends primarily on Company results, with additional measures for individual performance against defined objectives tied to the Company’s strategic goals. The goal of the program is to maintain a strong relationship between individual efforts, Company results and financial rewards.

 

We seek to provide competitive compensation that is commensurate with performance and we seek to promote a long-term commitment to the Company by our senior executives.

 

In the process of preparing this Compensation Policy, the Company has examined the correlation between overall compensation of the Office Holders and the compensation of the other employees of the Company (including employee-contractors and agency contractors, if any). Management considered the possible ramifications of such correlation on the work environment in the Company in order to ensure that levels of Office Holder compensation, as compared to the overall workforce in the Company will not have a negative impact on work relations in the Company. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors found the correlation of executive compensation to the rest of the employees to be reasonable for a company such as ours.

 

Our compensation philosophy includes compensating our executives at levels that are competitive with our peer group companies, in order to attract and retain talented executives and to provide compensation, including equity based incentives, which align the interests of our executives with the interests of our shareholders.

 

Components of Compensation

 

Our Terms of Office and Employment for Office Holders (other than non-employee directors) have a number of components:

 

i.fixed compensation (salary or management fees);
ii.annual cash bonuses;
iii.stock option grants;equity awards;
iv.benefits and perquisites;
v.severance payments.

 

Each of these components is discussed more fully below in this Compensation Policy.

 

 

 11 

 

Our program is designed to provide incentives and rewards for both our short-term and long-term performance, and is structured to motivate the Company's Office Holders to meet our strategic objectives, thereby maximizing total return to shareholders. The Company aims to balance the mix of the fixed components of the Terms of Office and Employment (e.g. base salary and benefits) and the Variable Compensation in order to, among other things, appropriately incentivize Office Holders to meet the Company goals, and is structured to discourage the assumption of excessive short-term risk but without constraining innovation and reasonable business practices.

 

The following table lists the various compensation components for the Office Holders and the possible proportion of each component, relative to the fixed annual compensation cost:

 

 

Officer

Fixed
Compensation
Cost

Variable Cash
Compensation

(*)

Equity Based
Compensation
CEO 100% 0% - 250% 0% - 250%
Division General Manager 100% 0% - 125% 0% - 75%
CFO 100% 0% - 125% 0% - 5075%
VPs 100% 0% - 125% 0% - 5075%
VPs Sales 100% 0% - 150% 0% - 5075%

 

We believe that the cash compensation (including base salary and annual cash bonus awards component of Variable Compensation) and the equity award grants component of Variable Compensation we provide, along with the security provided the executive severance benefits agreements, as well as the additional benefits and perquisites and the security granted by directors and officer insurance coverage and indemnification create a reasonable total compensation package for our Office Holders.

 

Approach for Determining Form of and Amount of Compensation

 

Comparison to Market Practices. In making compensation decisions, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors may reference third-party surveys that provide compensation data and review feedback from an independent compensation consultant. In making its determinations with respect to Office Holder compensation, the Compensation Committee has the authority to retain the services of an independent third party compensation consultant, and may do so from time to time to evaluate and assist in the process of determining an appropriate compensation structure, to make revisions to the Compensation Policy, or to suggest revisions to the compensation of a specific Office Holder. The Company may also periodically engage an outside consultant to provide market and peer compensation data and other insights.

 

 

 12 

 

The Role of Our Chairman of the Board and CEO. Our Chairman together with our CEO provides our Compensation Committee with their assessment of the performance levels of the Company and our Office Holders (other than themselves and the non-employee directors) and their recommendations with respect to compensation of such Office Holders. Our Compensation Committee believes it is important to consider and evaluate our Chairman and CEO's input on matters concerning compensation of other Office Holders. The Compensation Committee believes that our Chairman and CEO's input regarding our other Office Holders individual performances, as well as the expected contributions and prospects of each of them, is useful because (i) of the active role our Chairman takes in directing the strategy of Company, (ii) each of our Office Holder reports directly to our CEO, and (iii) our CEO interacts with our other Office Holders on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

 

Base Salary

 

We design Office Holder base salaries to fall within a competitive range of similar companies to ours. Generally, the base salary established for an individual Office Holder reflects many inputs, including our CEO's assessment of the Office Holder’s performance, the level of responsibility each of the Office Holders bears, and competitive pay levels based on salaries paid to employees with similar roles and responsibilities at similar peer group companies.

 

When conducting a comparison to market practice of a proposed base salary of an employee to employees in a similar position in peer group companies the Company will instruct the independent compensation consultant to choose between 10 to 20 companies which meet as many as possible of the following criteria:

 

1.Companies active in the same field of business of the Company;

 

2.Israeli public companies whose market value or their level of sales is similar to that of the Company;

 

3.Companies which compete with the Company on managerial personnel;

 

4.Companies with similar number of workforce.

 

Compensation Comparison:

 

1.The compensation to be paid to the CEO shall range between 50% to 100% in comparison to salaries total compensation paid by the compared companies;

 

2.and Tthe compensation to be paid to the other Office Holders (except as detailed below) shall range between 2510% to 759075% in comparison to salaries total compensation paid by the compared companies;.

 

3.The compensation to be paid to Division General Manager or a General Manager of a subsidiary of the Company shall range between: (i) 10% to 75% in comparison to the fixed compensation and equity base compensation paid by the compared companies; and (ii) up to 90% in comparison to variable cash compensation granted by the compared companies.

The amount of the bonus shall be based on compliance with Performance Measures based on measurable criteria to be determined in advance by the Board of Directors, on an annual basis, as part of the process of approval of the Company's annual budget and work plan; provided, however, that in accordance with the Companies Law, the Board of Directors shall not be obligated to determine any Performance Measures for any Officer Holder, except for the CEO.

 

Such Performance Measures may include, but are not limited to, measurable criteria based upon:

 

·Non GAAP Net Income – means Non GAAP Net Income not including one time profits/losses (including capital gains)
·Operating Income
·EBIT or EBITDA
·GAAP Net Income
·EPS
·Sales

 

Such Performance Measures may be established for each Office Holder based on the Company performance as a whole, or with respect to a specific division or market segment, as applicable. The bonus shall include one or more of the Performance Measures.

 

In addition to the above, a non material portion of the bonus, which may not exceed three months of fixed monthly compensation of the Maximum Bonus, may be based on discretionary criteria that are non-measurable based on the personal contribution of the employee and management recommendation, subject to approval by the relevant corporate bodies as required under the Companies Law.

 

 

 16 

 

The bonus shall be determined according to the extent the Office Holder complied with the targets which were determined in accordance with the above, in a manner which shall be measured in terms of percentages of attainment with respect to each Performance Measure, according to a scale within the range between 0% and up to a maximum of 100%, whereby a minimum threshold, below which no bonus shall be paid to the Office Holder, shall be determined in advance for each Performance Measure. Of the above Performance Measures only the following may be determined to be a sole Performance Measure – Non GAAP Net Income, EBIT or EBITDA and EPS. In the event more than one Performance Measure is selected the minimum percentage of a Performance Measure shall not decrease below 20%. The target objective, with respect to which the portion of the Target Bonus which is attributed to the Performance Measure is to be paid, shall be determined, up to a maximum for excellent achievements as above detailed.

 

In addition, the Office Holders of the Company may be granted to a special bonus upon the occurrence of an extraordinary event, for example sale of activity of the Company, such special bonus shall be subject to approval as set by the Companies Law (the "Special Bonus").

 

The annual cash bonus shall not be deemed as part of the base salary for all other purposes including social benefits and severance payments.

 

Policies with Respect to Equity Compensation Awards

 

Historically we have granted stock options to our employees, including Office Holders, in order to align their interests with the interests of our shareholders by tying the value delivered to them to the value of our ordinary shares. Periodic stock option grants provide our Office Holders with long-term incentives that aid in retaining executive talent and reward executives for creating shareholder value over the long term. Management believes that equity based compensation (including other possible forms such as restricted stock units) will align the interests of our Office Holders and other employees who are not Officer Holders with the interests of our shareholders. We may also make grants of stock options or other equity based compensation (e.g. restricted stock units) at the discretion of our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee in connection with the hiring or promotion of new executive officers.

 

We grant stock options to purchase ordinary shares of the Company at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of the grant or equal to the average closing price within a specific time frame prior to the date of grant; therefore, the options only have value if our share price increases. The vesting period of all equity awards is customarily over a period of two to four years. The Company attempts to ensure that the stock option grantsequity awards are granted pursuant to a tax beneficial or qualified plan such as “Section 102” stock option plans in Israel.

 

 

 17 

 

Generally, we determine the size of each equity award to an Office Holder after considering the role of each Office Holder within the Company, the importance of his/her function within the organization and the Office Holder's previous equity awards.

 

The fair market value of the equity award for the Office Holders will be determined according to acceptable valuation practices at the time of grant. Such fair market value, as examined at the time of grant as aforesaid, shall not exceed the amount of 250% of the fixed compensation of the CEO and the percentage of the dilution which results from the allocation shall not exceed, in respect of the CEO, 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis, and shall not exceed the amount of 5075% of the fixed compensation of any Office Holders (excluding the CEO) and the percentage of the dilution which results from the allocation shall not exceed, in respect of any Office Holder (excluding the CEO), 2% of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis.

 

The Board of Directors may, following approval by the Compensation Committee, extend the period of time for which an award is to remain exercisable, re-price the options or make provisions with respect to the acceleration of the vesting period of any Office Holder's awards, including, without limitation, in connection with a corporate transaction involving a change of control.

 

The Company does not have any equity ownership guidelines that require any of our directors or other Office Holders to hold a stated number or fixed percentage of our ordinary shares, nor do they have to continue to hold for any period of time shares in the Company which they acquired as a result of the exercise of fully vested option grants.

 

Benefits

 

We provide our Office Holders with benefits that we also generally make available to all salaried employees. Some of these benefits are offered pursuant to legal requirements (such as mandatory pension fund contributions, severance pay contributions, forms of workmen’s compensation insurance, vacation and sick day accrual, etc.). Others are consistent with common practice in the general labor market (e.g. education fund contributions, employer provided automobiles, etc.) and which often enable the employee and/or the Company to benefit from various tax advantages with respect to such employee benefits. Other benefits are intended at supplementing the ongoing base wages, to reimburse the employee for expenses and/or to provide additional long term incentives to the employee.

 

The Company provides maternity leave or paternity leave to all Office Holders in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. The Company pays salary to all Office Holders for sick leave from the initial sick day.

 

Office Holders receive annual vacation leave in accordance with their employment agreement and as determined for Office Holders based on seniority and tenure of employment. Office Holders are paid annual recreation allowances as required under applicable law and government extension orders.

 

Severance Provisions

 

The Company's Office Holders, who are employees of the Company, are entitled upon termination of their employment, for any reason except for termination for "Cause" to severance pay in accordance with the law and specific terms which may be agreed upon in the employment agreement of specific Office Holders.

 

 

 18 

 

Advance Notice of Termination

 

An Office Holder, excluding the CEO, shall be entitled to an advance notice period which shall not exceed six months. The CEO shall be entitled to an advance notice period which shall not exceed twelve months. During the advance notice period, the Office Holder shall continue to serve in his/her position unless otherwise agreed by the Board of Directors. In the case of the CEO the CEO will be required to continue to serve in his/her position only during the first three months of advance notice.

 

Severance Grants

 

The Company provides for severance payments upon termination of employment as required by law. It is not the general policy of the Company to provide Severance Grants, exceeding the severance payments required by law. Should the Company elect to make a Severance Grant to a departing Office Holder, exceeding the severance payments required by law, such payment may not exceed the scope detailed below:

 

Position Worked in the Company up
To 3 Years
Worked in the Company 3  
Years orf More
CEO 6 monthly salaries 12 monthly salaries
CFO and VPS 3 monthly salaries 6 monthly salaries

 

A Severance Grant, as above detailed, shall only be approved for an Office Holder who meets the following criteria:

 

·Was employed by the Company for a minimum period of 2 years;
·During his/her employment he/she made a significant contribution to the advancement of the business of the Company;
·The termination of employment of the Office Holder is not under terms that in the discretion of the Compensation Committee justify the deprival of severance payments.

 

Inclusion of a provision of Severance Grants (exceeding the requirement of the law) in an employment agreement shall be brought to the prior approval of the Compensation Committee prior to execution of such Agreement.

 

Ratio of the Compensation to the Average and Median Salary (as defined in the Companies Law)

 

The Compensation Committee has reviewed the current ratio of the total compensation for the Office Holders of the Company to the average and median salary and cost of all of the Company's employees in Israel and are of the opinion that the ratio is fair and reasonable taking into consideration the Company's structure, size and composition its of workforce. As above stated, the Compensation Committee will consider the ramifications the approval of specific Terms of Office and Employment of an Office Holder may have on the employment relations in the Company.

 

 

 19 

 

Following is a table setting forth the ratio between the current Terms of Office and Employment of our CEO and CFO to the average and median salary of the other employees of the Company (excluding the CEO and CFO) as well as the salary cost of each of the CEO and the CFO to the salary cost of the other employees of the Company (excluding the CEO and CFO), all as of December 31, 2015April 1, 2018:

 

Terms of Office and Employment Comparison to Average and Median Salary:*:

 

Position

Average Salary Median Salary
CEO 11.917.0 16.723.1
CFO 5.6 2 7.90

 

·Including stock based compensation in the amount of the fair value of the awards to be vested during the 12 months commencing April 1st 2018.

 

Salary Cost Comparison to Average and Median Salary Cost:

 

Position

Average Cost of Salary Median Cost of Salary
CEO 7.03 9.60
CFO 4.43.5 6.04.3

 

NASDAQ Listing Rules and Home Country Practices

 

Under the NASDAQ Listing Rules, we may elect to follow certain corporate governance practices permitted under the Israeli Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, in lieu of compliance with the applicable corporate governance requirements otherwise imposed by the NASDAQ Listing Rules for U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, our corporate governance practices with respect to Office Holder compensation differ from those followed by U.S. domestic companies.

 

We follow the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to matters in connection with the composition of our Compensation Committee, Office Holder compensation, and any required shareholders approval of such compensation.    Israeli law, and our amended and restated articles of association, do not require that a compensation committee composed solely of independent members of our Board of Directors determine (or recommend to the board of directors for determination) an executive officer’s compensation, as will be required under NASDAQ’s recently adopted listing standards related to compensation committee independence and responsibilities.

 

 

 20 

 

Instead, compensation of executive officers is determined and approved by our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors, and in certain circumstances by our shareholders, either in consistency with our Office Holder compensation policy or, in special circumstances in deviation therefrom, taking into account certain considerations stated in the Israeli Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The requirements for shareholders approval of Office Holder compensation, and the relevant majority or Super Majority for such approval, are all set forth above in this Compensation Policy.  

 

We will seek shareholders approval for all corporate actions with respect to Office Holder compensation requiring such approval under the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, including seeking prior approval of the shareholders for the Compensation Policy and for certain Office Holder compensation, rather than seeking approval for such corporation actions in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rules.
