PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To be held on November 10, 2025

This proxy statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) to be voted at an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, pursuant to the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The Meeting will be held on Monday, November 10, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. (Israel time) at the offices of the Company at 14 Einstein Street, Ness Ziona, Israel 7403618.

You are entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, the Meeting if you were a shareholder of record at the close of business on October 3, 2025 (the “Record Date”). Subject to the terms described herein, you are also entitled to vote at the Meeting if you held ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee that was a shareholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date or which appeared in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date, and if you held your shares through the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) on that date. See below “How You Can Vote.”

Purpose of the Annual General Meeting

At the Meeting, shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider and vote upon the following: (1) the election of the following persons to the Company’s Board of Directors, each to serve until the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified: Shai Novik, Dr. Roger Pomerantz, Dr. Abraham Havron, Dr. Gili Hart and Andrew Singer; (2) the approval of an increase in the Company’s authorized share capital and to amend the Company’s Articles of Association accordingly; and (3) the approval of the re-appointment of Yarel & Partners, Certified Public Accountants, a member of BKR International, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025 and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors (with power of delegation to its audit committee) to set the fees to be paid to such auditors in accordance with the volume and nature of their services. In addition, the Company’s shareholders will have the opportunity to hear from representatives of the Company’s management, who will be available at the Meeting to review and discuss with shareholders the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Board Recommendation

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the above proposals, which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

We are not aware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote on such matters in accordance with their judgment and recommendation of the Board of Directors.

Quorum and Adjournment

The presence (in person, by proxy or via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority (“ISA”)) of any two or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, at least at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting rights of the Company constitutes a quorum for purposes of the Meeting. If such quorum is not present within an hour following the time scheduled for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to the following week, to the same day, time and place, without it being necessary to notify our shareholders. At such an adjourned meeting, the presence of any two shareholders (in person, by proxy or via the ISA’s electronic voting system) (regardless of the voting power represented by their ordinary shares) will constitute a quorum.

1

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but they will not have an effect on the outcome of any proposal. Broker non-votes occur for a particular proposal when brokers that hold their customers’ shares in street name sign and submit proxies for such shares (in which case they are considered present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting) but do not have the discretionary authority to vote on such particular proposal. Brokers that have not received voting instructions from their customers may vote such shares, as the holders of record, on “routine” matters but not on “non-routine” matters. Proposal 2 and Proposal 3 are “routine” matters, but Proposal 1 is a “non-routine” matter; therefore, it is important that you vote your shares, either by proxy or in person at the Meeting.

Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for quorum or voting purposes.

How You Can Vote

        Shareholders of Record and Beneficial Owners of Shares Traded on Nasdaq

        Voting in person.    If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent (i.e., you are a “registered shareholder”), you may attend and vote in person at the Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, trustee or nominee (i.e., your shares are held in “street name”), you are also invited to attend the Meeting; however, to vote in person at the Meeting as a beneficial owner, you must first obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee, as the case may be, authorizing you to do so. If you vote by telephone or Internet, there is no need to vote again at the Meeting unless you wish to revoke and change your vote.

        Voting by mailing your proxy.    If you have received printed copies of the proxy materials, you may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope, or, for shares held in street name, by following the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank, trustee or nominee. The proxy must be received by our transfer agent or at our registered office in Israel by no later than 7:00 p.m. Israel time, on November 7, 2025, to be validly included in the tally of ordinary shares voted at the Meeting. Upon the receipt of a properly signed and dated proxy in the form enclosed, the persons named as proxies therein will vote the ordinary shares represented thereby in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder indicated thereon, or, if no direction is indicated, in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors.

        Voting by telephone or Internet.    If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank or registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you may vote those shares by accessing the Internet website address specified in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the instructions provided by your broker, bank, trustee or nominee or on your proxy (as applicable), instead of completing and signing the proxy itself. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you may also call the telephone number specified in the instructions provided by your broker, bank, trustee or nominee. Submitting a telephonic or Internet proxy will not affect your right to vote at the Meeting should you decide to attend the Meeting. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to give their voting instructions, and to confirm that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded properly. The accompanying proxy card provides instructions on how to vote via telephone and the Internet.

        Beneficial Owners of Shares Traded on TASE.    Shareholders who hold shares through members of the TASE may vote in person or vote through the published form of proxy by completing, signing, dating and mailing the proxy with a copy of their identity card, passport or certificate of incorporation, as the case may be, to the Company’s offices. Shareholders who hold shares through members of the TASE, whether voting in person or by proxy, must deliver to the Company an ownership certificate confirming their ownership of the Company’s shares on the Record Date (“Ownership Certificate”), which must be certified by a recognized financial institution, as required by the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting) of 2000, as amended. An Ownership Certificate may be obtained at the TASE member’s offices or may be sent to the shareholder by mail (subject to payment of the cost of mailing), at the election of the shareholder, provided that the shareholder’s request is submitted

2

with respect to a specific securities account. Alternatively, shareholders who hold shares through members of the TASE may vote electronically via the electronic voting system of the ISA up to six hours before the time fixed for the Meeting (i.e., by no later than 1:00 p.m. Israel time, on November 10, 2025). You should receive instructions about electronic voting from the TASE member through which you hold your shares.

Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals

Each outstanding ordinary share held by a shareholder is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders.

The approval of each of the proposals requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares present, in person, by proxy or via the ISA’s electronic voting system, and voting on such proposal (excluding abstentions).

In tabulating the voting results for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered votes cast on that proposal and will have no effect on the vote, but such shares will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting. Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for voting purposes. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds ordinary shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its shares if the shareholder wants its shares to count towards the vote tally for a given proposal.

Change or Revocation of Proxy

If you are a shareholder of record, you may change your vote at any time prior to the exercise of authority granted in the proxy by delivering a written notice of revocation to us, by granting a new proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. You may also revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Meeting by voting again via the Internet or by telephone, as applicable.

If your shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee or nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

If your shares are held via a member of the TASE, you may change your vote (i) by attending the Meeting and voting in person, by presenting a valid Ownership Certificate as of the Record Date; (ii) by delivering a later-dated duly executed proxy card, together with a valid Ownership Certificate as of the Record Date, to the Company’s registered office not later than 7:00 p.m. Israel time, on November 7, 2025, or (iii) by following the relevant instructions for changing your vote via the ISA’s electronic voting system by no later than six hours before the time set for the Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

All expenses of this solicitation will be borne by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, directors, officers and employees of the Company, without receiving additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, email, facsimile, in person or by other means. Brokerage firms, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians have been requested to forward proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares of the Company held of record by such persons, and the Company will reimburse such brokerage firms, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

As of September 15, 2025, other than Shai Novik, the Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors, no person known to us to beneficially owns more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares, based on public filings or information available to us.

The following table sets forth certain information as of September 15, 2025 (unless otherwise indicated below) regarding the beneficial ownership by: (i) each of our current directors and director nominees; and (ii) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group. The percentage of ordinary shares beneficially owned is based on 24,292,833 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of September 15, 2025.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is generally based on whether a person has voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Ordinary shares of the Company that may be acquired by an individual or group pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s outstanding options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), warrants or other rights held by such individual or group that are exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of September 15, 2025 are deemed beneficially owned by such individual or group, and such shares are additionally deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage of ordinary shares beneficially owned by such individual or group, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of ordinary shares beneficially owned by any other individual or group shown in the table.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Background

Under our Articles of Association, the number of directors on our Board of Directors shall be at least five but not more than 11. Our Board of Directors is currently composed of five directors and includes Mr. Shai Novik (Executive Chairman), Dr. Roger Pomerantz (Vice Chairman), Dr. Abraham (Avri) Havron, Dr. Gili Hart and Mr. Andrew Singer. All of our currently serving directors were elected to serve in such capacity at our 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders. Each of our directors holds office until the first annual general meeting of shareholders following his or her appointment or election (unless the tenure of such director expires earlier, or a director resigns or is removed from office pursuant to the Companies Law).

We rely on the exemption available to foreign private issuers under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and follow Israeli law and practice with regard to the directors’ nomination process; consequently, we are not required to maintain an independent nominating committee. In May 2022, our Board of Directors established a non-independent nominating committee, which identifies and recommends director nominees for election by the shareholders, while considering the appropriate size and composition of the Board of Directors, the requirements applicable to all members of the Board of Directors and the criteria for the selection of new members of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, however, retains the power and authority to exercise the authority of the nominating committee at any time. The nominating committee currently consists of two members, Mr. Shai Novik, as Chairman, and Dr. Gili Hart.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to re-elect each of our currently serving directors: Shai Novik (Executive Chairman), Dr. Roger Pomerantz (Vice Chairman), Dr. Abraham (Avri) Havron, Dr. Gili Hart and Andrew Singer. If elected at the Meeting, each of the director nominees will serve until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders, and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her office is vacated in accordance with our Articles of Association or the Companies Law. Subject to shareholder approval of the election of the director nominees, our Board of Directors will consist of five members, four of whom satisfy the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

We believe that our Board of Directors contains highly qualified and talented directors, including directors with global pharmaceutical, clinical, and financial experience. In accordance with the Companies Law, each of the director nominees has certified to us that he or she meets all the requirements of the Companies Law for election as a director of a public company and that he or she possesses the necessary qualifications and is able to dedicate sufficient time to fulfill his or her duties as a director of our Company, taking into consideration our Company’s size and special needs.

The following biographical information is provided with respect to each director nominee based upon our records and information provided to us by each nominee.

PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF AN INCREASE IN THE COMPANY’S AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL
AND TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION ACCORDINGLY

Background

The Company’s authorized share capital is currently NIS 18,000,000, divided into 45,000,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of NIS 0.40 each. As of September 17, 2025, 24,292,833 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding. In addition, as of such date, 6,092,385 ordinary shares were reserved for issuance under our Global Share Incentive Plan (2014) and Global Share Incentive Plan (2019) (including shares underlying outstanding options and RSUs), and 7,622,359 ordinary shares were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. Accordingly, as of such date, only 6,992,423 ordinary shares remained unissued, unreserved, and available for future issuances.

Under the Companies Law, a company may not issue shares in excess of its authorized share capital. The Company seeks to increase its authorized share capital to help ensure that it can support its corporate purposes and future business needs as they arise, including, without limitation, potential public and private offerings of the Company’s ordinary shares, future equity-based compensation grants under existing or any future equity-based incentive plans adopted by the Company, and other corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, potential strategic transactions, such as licensing agreements, acquisitions of other companies or assets, or other transactions that may involve the issuance of ordinary shares.

Any such future issuances will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, unless shareholder approval is required under the Companies Law or under the Nasdaq Listing Rules (to the extent the Company elects not to rely on the home country law exemption under such rules).

Accordingly, at the Meeting, and as recommended by our Board of Directors, shareholders will be asked to approve an increase in the Company’s authorized share capital from NIS 18,000,000, divided into 45,000,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of NIS 0.40 each, to NIS 200,000,000, divided into 500,000,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of NIS 0.40 each, and to amend Article 2.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association accordingly to reflect this change.

The proposed increase in our authorized share capital would not affect the rights of the holders of currently outstanding ordinary shares. However, the possible future issuance of ordinary shares, or securities convertible into, or exercisable for, ordinary shares, could affect our current shareholders in a number of ways, including: (i) diluting the voting power of current holders of ordinary shares; (ii) diluting the market price of the ordinary shares, to the extent that new ordinary shares are issued and sold at prices below the current trading price of the existing ordinary shares, or, in the case of convertible securities, to the extent that such securities are convertible into, or exercisable for, ordinary shares at prices below current trading prices; and (iii) diluting the book value per share of the outstanding ordinary shares.

Proposal

It is therefore proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:

RESOLVED, to approve the increase in the Company’s authorized share capital from NIS 18,000,000 divided into 45,000,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of NIS 0.40 each, to NIS 200,000,000 divided into 500,000,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of NIS 0.40 each, and to amend Article 2.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association accordingly.”

Approval Required

See “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above.

Board Recommendation

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the increase in the Company’s authorized share capital and the corresponding amendment to the Company’s Articles of Association.
