(the “Company”) for use at the Company’s annual and extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on August 7, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Israel time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

 

Upon the receipt of a properly executed proxy in the form enclosed, the persons named as proxies therein will vote the American Depositary Shares representing the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value, and ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company (the “ADSs” and “Ordinary Shares”, respectively) covered thereby in accordance with the directions of the shareholders executing the proxy. In the absence of such directions, and except as otherwise mentioned in this proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), the Ordinary Shares represented thereby will be voted in favor of each of the proposals described in the Proxy Statement.

 

Two or more shareholders present, personally or by proxy, holding not less than 15% (fifteen percent) of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, shall constitute a quorum for the Meeting. If within half an hour from the time the Meeting is convened a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned until August 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Israel time (the “Adjourned Meeting”). If a quorum is not present at the Adjourned Meeting within half an hour from the time appointed for such meeting, any number of shareholders present personally or by proxy shall be deemed a quorum and shall be entitled to deliberate and to resolve in respect of the matters for which the Meeting was convened. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as Ordinary Shares present for the purpose of determining a quorum.

  

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), each of Proposals No. 1 and 2 described hereinafter requires the affirmative vote of shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and holding Ordinary Shares of the Company amounting in the aggregate to at least a majority of the votes actually cast by shareholders with respect to such proposals (a “Simple Majority”).

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the approval of Proposal No. 3, as described below, requires the affirmative vote of the Company’s shareholders holding at least a majority of Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either (i) such a majority includes at least the majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders or do not have personal interest in the approval of the transaction (abstentions will not be taken into account); or (ii) the total number of votes against such proposal among the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company (a “Special Majority”).

 

As defined under the Companies Law, “personal interest” means: (1) a shareholder’s personal interest in the approval of an act or a transaction of the Company, including (i) the personal interest of any of his or her relatives (which includes for these purposes foregoing shareholder’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, and spouse’s descendants, siblings, and parents, and the spouse of any of the foregoing); (ii) a personal interest of a corporation in which a shareholder or any of his/her aforementioned relatives serve as a director or the chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of its issued share capital or its voting rights or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer; and (iii) a personal interest of an individual voting via a power of attorney given by a third party (even if the empowering shareholder has no personal interest), and the vote of an attorney-in-fact shall be considered a personal interest vote if the empowering shareholder has a personal interest, and all with no regard as to whether the attorney-in-fact has voting discretion or not, but (2) excludes a personal interest arising solely from the fact of holding shares in the Company.

 

As defined under the Companies Law, a “controlling shareholder” is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if he or she holds or controls, by himself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of a company; in the context of a transaction with an interested party, a shareholder who holds 25% or more of the voting rights in the company if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights in the company, is also presumed to be a controlling shareholder. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of a company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of a company or its chief executive officer. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company is not aware of any controlling shareholders as defined above, and therefore believe that, other than the Company’s directors, officers and their relatives, none of the Company’s shareholders should have a personal interest in the proposed resolutions herein.

 

 

 

According to the Companies Law Regulations (exemptions for companies whose securities are listed for trading on a stock exchange outside of Israel) 5760-2000, by signing and submitting the attached proxy card, a shareholder declares and approves that he or she has no personal interest in the approval of any of the items on the Meeting agenda that requires such declaration under the Companies Law, with the exception of a personal interest that the shareholder positively informed the Company about via email (as detailed in the attached proxy card).

 

Proposal 4 will not involve a vote by the shareholders and accordingly there is no proposed resolution.

 

In accordance with the Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder, any shareholder of the Company holding at least one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting rights of the Company for the Meeting may submit to the Company a proposed additional agenda item for the Meeting (and in case of a proposed additional agenda item for nominating or removal of a director, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding voting rights of the Company), to the Company’s offices, or via email (contact details below), no later than July 9, 2025.

Background

 

Under the Companies Law and the Company’s amended and restated articles of association (the “Articles”), the policy and supervision of the Company’s business is vested in the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may exercise all powers and may take all actions that are not specifically granted to the Company’s shareholders.

 

The Articles provide that the Company may have at least three (3) and not more than twelve (12) directors.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors currently consists of six directors. In accordance with the Articles, the Company’s directors are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Each class of directors consists, as practically as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. At each annual general meeting of shareholders, the appointment or re-appointment of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors is for a term of office that expires as of the date of the third annual general meeting following such appointment or re-appointment. Therefore, at each annual general meeting, the term of office of only one class of directors expires. Each director holds office until the annual general meeting in which his or her term expires, unless he or she is removed by a vote of 65% of the total voting power of the Company’s shareholders at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, provided that such majority constitutes more than 50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital, or upon the occurrence of certain events, in accordance with the Companies Law and the Articles.

 

The Company’s directors are divided among three classes as follows:

  (ii) The Company’s Class II directors are Mr. Shachar Daniel and Mr. Moshe Tal, whose current terms expire at the Company’s 2027 annual general meeting and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors; and
     
  (iii) The Company’s Class III directors are Mr. Chen Katz and Mr. Avi Rubinstein, whose current terms expire at the Meeting.

 

The Board of Directors has approved the nomination of Mr. Katz and Mr. Rubinstein for re-appointment to the Board of Directors, each as a Class III director for a three-year term and recommends that the Company’s shareholders re-appoint Mr. Katz and Mr. Rubinstein, each as a Class III director for a three-year term.

If reappointed at the Meeting, both Mr. Katz and Mr. Rubinstein will continue to benefit from the indemnification and exemption letter agreements that the Company previously entered into with each of them, as well as from the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, as in effect from time to time.

 

In his capacity as the Chairman of the Board of Directors, subject to his re-appointment, Mr. Katz shall continue to be entitled to the compensation terms set forth in his service agreement with the Company, as approved by the Company’s shareholders on August 28, 2023.

 

In his capacity as member of the Board of Directors, subject to his re-appointment, Mr. Rubinstein will continue to be entitled to following fees: (i) an annual fee of NIS 60,000 (approximately $17,6891) and (ii) an attendance fee of NIS 2,500 (approximately $737) per meeting, which amounts are less than the maximum amounts set forth in the second and third appendices of the Companies Regulations (Rules concerning Compensation and Expenses of an External Director), 5760-2000.
