Dear Shareholder:
 
On October 26, 2017, Kamada Ltd. (the “Company”) announced the 2017 Annual General Meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held on November 30, 2017 (the “Meeting”), and furnished the Notice of the Meeting and Proxy Statement for the Meeting and the accompanying proxy card, on Form 6-K, to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Israel Securities Authority (the “ISA”).  On October 26, 2017, the Company also commenced mailing of the proxy materials for the Meeting to its shareholders.
 
As announced by the Company on November 6, 2017, in accordance with the Notice and Proxy Statement for the Meeting and Israeli law, Brosh Capital Partners, L.P.  and Exodus Management Israel Ltd. (together with their affiliates, the “Brosh Group”), who beneficially owned 2,888,999, or approximately 7.2% of the Company’s ordinary shares as of the date of the notice, proposed a list of potential director nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors, in addition to the director nominees initially proposed by the Company’s Board of Directors.  Following the receipt of the Brosh Group’s proposal, the Company and the Brosh Group held discussions relating to the Brosh Group’s proposal, as a result of which the Company and the Brosh Group entered into an agreement, under which (among other things) the Company agreed to amend the agenda for the Meeting to (i) include Mr. Asaf Frumerman, as a director nominee designated by the Brosh Group, for election by the shareholders at the Meeting and (ii) at Mr. Saadia Ozeri’s proposal, to remove Mr. Ozeri, a serving director, as a director nominee for re-election at the Meeting.
 
Accordingly, the Company has amended the Notice of the Meeting and Proxy Statement for the Meeting and the proxy card for use in connection with the Meeting, to reflect (i) the addition to the agenda for the Meeting of Mr. Asaf Frumerman (the “Brosh Nominee”), a director nominee designated by the Brosh Group, for election by the shareholders of the Company at the Meeting; and (ii) the removal from the agenda for the Meeting of Saadia Ozeri, a serving director, as a director nominee for re-election at the Meeting.
 
In addition, following discussions with the Brosh Group, the Company is proposing two additional director nominees, who are industry experts, for election at the Meeting, Messrs, Itzhak Krinsky and Shmuel (Milky) Rubinstein (together, the “Expert Director Nominees”).  Accordingly, the amended agenda for the Meeting includes a proposal for the election of nine director nominees, one of whom shall be the Brosh Nominee and two of whom shall be the Expert Director Nominees, in addition to Mr. Avraham Berger who shall continue to serve as a director of the Company until the 2018 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company in accordance with applicable law.  Under the amended agenda for the Meeting, shareholders will also be asked to approve the Company’s entering into an indemnification and exculpation agreement with each of the Brosh Nominee and the Expert Director Nominees, subject to their election at the Meeting.
 
Shareholders of record at the close of business on October 31, 2017 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting.
 
Accordingly, enclosed please find an Amended Notice of the Meeting and Amended Proxy for the Meeting and amended proxy card for the Meeting.  The proxy card previously distributed by the Company on or about October 26, 2017 is no longer valid, and any previously distributed proxy card that is delivered to the Company shall not be deemed valid.
 

Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, it is important that your ordinary shares be represented and voted at the Meeting. Accordingly, please sign, date and mail the enclosed amended proxy card in the envelope provided, in accordance with the instructions on your amended proxy card.
 
 
Sincerely,
   
 
Leon Recanati

To review and discuss our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote in favor of each of the proposals, which are described in the attached Amended Proxy Statement.
 
Shareholders of record at the close of business on October 31, 2017 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting.  You can vote either by mailing in your proxy or in person by attending the Meeting.  If voting by proxy, we will generally not be able to include your vote in the tally of ordinary shares voted at the Meeting unless your proxy is received by our transfer agent or at our registered office in Israel at least 48 hours prior to the appointed time of the Meeting.  If you attend the Meeting, you may vote in person and your proxy will not be used.  If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, trustee or nominee and you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you must first obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting.  If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of a member of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and wish to vote, either by proxy or in person by attending the Meeting, you must deliver to us a proof of ownership in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the “Israeli Companies Law”) and the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meetings), 2000.  Detailed proxy voting instructions are provided both in the Amended Proxy Statement and on the enclosed amended proxy card.
 

Shareholders may review the full version of the proposed resolutions in the Amended Proxy Statement as well as the accompanying amended proxy card, via the website of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov or via the Israel Securities Authority’s electronic filing system at http://www.magna.isa.gov.il or the website of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. at http://maya.tase.co.il, and also at our offices during regular business hours (2 Holzman Street, Weizmann Science Park, Rehovot, Israel; Tel: +972-8-9406472 (phone)).  Our company’s representative is Mr. Nir Livneh, our Director of Legal Affairs (2 Holzman Street, Weizmann Science Park, Rehovot, Israel; Tel: +972-72-2748242).
 
The proxy card previously distributed by the Company on or about October 26, 2017 is no longer valid, and any previously distributed proxy card that is delivered to the Company shall not be deemed valid.
 
Quorum
 
The presence, in person or by proxy, of two or more shareholders holding or representing, in the aggregate, at least twenty-five percent of our company’s voting rights will constitute a quorum at the Meeting.  No business will be considered or determined at the Meeting unless the requisite quorum is present within half an hour from the time designated for the Meeting.  If within half an hour from the time designated for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the following week, at the same time and place.  Any number of shareholders present, in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the adjourned meeting.  This notice will serve as notice of such reconvened meeting if no quorum is present at the original date and time and no further notice of the reconvened meeting will be given to shareholders.
 
Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals
 
Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote.
 
With respect to Proposals 1-3 and 6:  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve each such proposal.
 
With respect to Proposals 4 and 5:  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve each such proposal, provided that either: (i) the shares voting in favor of the proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the proposal, or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the proposal by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the proposal does not exceed two-percent (2%) of our outstanding voting rights.
 
We are unaware of any shareholder that would be deemed to be a controlling shareholder of our company as of the current time for purposes of Proposals 4 and 5.  A shareholder who signs and returns an amended proxy card will be deemed to be confirming that such shareholder, and any related party of such shareholder, is not a controlling shareholder for purposes of Proposals 4 and 5.  If you believe that you, or a related party of yours, may be deemed to be a controlling shareholder and you wish to participate in the vote on any of Proposals 4 and 5, you should contact our Director of Legal Affairs, Nir Livneh, at nirl@kamada.com or +972-72-2748242.
 
- ii -
The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on Proposals 4 and 5 indicate on the amended proxy card, or, if voting in person at the Meeting, inform us prior to voting on the matter at the Meeting, whether or not the shareholder has a personal interest in each such proposal.  Otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote on the proposals and his or her vote will not be counted for the purposes of the proposals.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder in an act or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of (a) any spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or descendant of the shareholder, any descendant, sibling or parent of a spouse of the shareholder and the spouse of any of the foregoing; and (b) a company with respect to which the shareholder (or any of the foregoing relatives of the shareholder) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares or voting rights or has the right to appoint one or more directors or the chief executive officer; and (ii) excludes a personal interest arising solely from the ownership of shares.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy, “personal interest” includes the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote.
 
 
Sincerely,
   
 
Leon Recanati

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 the judgment and recommendation of the Board of Directors.
 
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
 
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the proposals set forth in this Amended Proxy Statement.
 
Who Can Vote
 
You are entitled to notice of, and to vote in person or by proxy at, the Meeting, if you are a holder of record of our ordinary shares as of the close of business on October 31, 2017.  You are also entitled to notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting if you held ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee that is one of our shareholders of record at the close of business on October 31, 2017, or which appeared in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date.  See below “How You Can Vote.”
 
How You Can Vote
 
·
Voting in Person.  If you are a shareholder of record, i.e., your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, or in our register of shareholders, 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 that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting or, if you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of a member of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”), you must deliver to us a proof of ownership in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the “Israeli Companies Law”) and the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meetings), 2000.
 

·
Voting by Proxy.  You may submit your proxy by completing, signing and mailing the enclosed amended proxy card in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope, or, if your shares are held in “street name,” by following the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank trustee or nominee.  If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of a member of the TASE, you must attach to the amended proxy card a proof of ownership in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law and the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meetings), 2000.  We will generally not be able to include your vote in the tally of ordinary shares voted at the Meeting unless your proxy is received by our transfer agent or at our registered office in Israel at least 48 hours prior to the designated time for the Meeting.  If directions are not given or directions are not in accordance with the options listed on an amended proxy card, such shares will be voted FOR each proposal for which the Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR.  The proxy card previously distributed by the Company on or about October 26, 2017 is no longer valid, and any previously distributed proxy card that is delivered to the Company shall not be deemed valid.
 
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 our Director of Legal Affairs, 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.
 
If your shares are held in “street name,” 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 you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of a member of the TASE and wish to change your voting instructions, you must contact the TASE member through which you hold your shares.
 
Quorum
 
The presence, in person or by proxy, of two or more shareholders holding or representing, in the aggregate, at least twenty-five percent of our company’s voting rights will constitute a quorum at the Meeting.  No business will be considered or determined at the Meeting unless the requisite quorum is present within half an hour from the time designated for the Meeting.  If within half an hour from the time designated for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the following week, at the same time and place.  Any number of shareholders present, in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the adjourned meeting.  This notice will serve as notice of such reconvened meeting if no quorum is present at the original date and time and no further notice of the reconvened meeting will be given to shareholders.
 
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum.  Broker non-votes occur when brokers that hold their customers’ shares in street name sign and submit proxies for such shares, and vote such shares on some matters but not on others.  This occurs when brokers have not received any instructions from their customers, in which case the brokers, as the holders of record, are permitted to vote on “routine” matters, but not on non-routine matters.
 
2

Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for quorum or voting purposes.
 
Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals
 
Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote.
 
With respect to Proposals 1-3 and 6:  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve each such proposal.
 
With respect to Proposals 4 and 5:  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve each such proposal, provided that either: (i) the shares voting in favor of the proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the proposal, or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the proposal by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the proposal does not exceed two-percent (2%) of our outstanding voting rights.
 
We are unaware of any shareholder that would be deemed to be a controlling shareholder of our company as of the current time for purposes of Proposals 4 and 5.  A shareholder who signs and returns an amended proxy card will be deemed to be confirming that such shareholder, and any related party of such shareholder, is not a controlling shareholder for purposes of Proposals 4 and 5.  If you believe that you, or a related party of yours, may be deemed to be a controlling shareholder and you wish to participate in the vote on any of Proposals 4 and 5, you should contact our Director of Legal Affairs, Nir Livneh, at nirl@kamada.com or +972-72-2748242.
 
The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on Proposals 4 and 5 indicate on the amended proxy card, or, if voting in person at the Meeting, inform us prior to voting on the matter at the Meeting, whether or not the shareholder has a personal interest in each such proposal.  Otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote on the proposals and his or her vote will not be counted for the purposes of the proposals.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder in an act or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of (a) any spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or descendant of the shareholder, any descendant, sibling or parent of a spouse of the shareholder and the spouse of any of the foregoing; and (b) a company with respect to which the shareholder (or any of the foregoing relatives of the shareholder) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares or voting rights or has the right to appoint one or more directors or the chief executive officer; and (ii) excludes a personal interest arising solely from the ownership of shares.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy, “personal interest” includes the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote.
 
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.  Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for voting purposes.
 
Cost of Soliciting Votes for the Meeting
 
We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from our shareholders.  Proxies will be solicited by mail and may also be solicited in person, by telephone or electronic communication, by our directors, officers and employees.  We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses in accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) concerning the sending of proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of our shares.
 
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
 
The following table sets forth certain information as of October 20, 2017 (unless otherwise indicated below) regarding the beneficial ownership by (i) each person known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares; (ii) each of our directors and director nominees; and (iii) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.
 
3

The percentage of beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares is based on 40,328,742 ordinary shares outstanding as of October 20, 2017.  Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting power or investment power with respect to securities.  All options exercisable into ordinary shares within 60 days of the date of the table are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the shareholder holding such options for the purpose of computing the number of shares beneficially owned by such shareholder.  Such shares are also deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options.  They are not, however, deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other shareholder.
 
Except as described in the footnotes below, we believe each shareholder has voting and investment power with respect to the ordinary shares indicated in the table as beneficially owned.

As permitted by the NASDAQ Listing Rules, we follow Israeli law and practice rather than the NASDAQ requirement for independent direct oversight over our director nominations process.  In accordance with Israeli law and practice, directors are recommended by our Board of Directors for election by our shareholders.  Under a voting agreement entered into on March 6, 2013, the Recanati Group, on the one hand, and the Damar Group, on the other hand, each agreed to vote the ordinary shares beneficially owned by them in favor of the election of director nominees designated by the other group as follows: (i) three director nominees, so long as the other group beneficially owns at least 7.5% of our outstanding share capital, (ii) two director nominees, so long as the other group beneficially owns at least 5.0% (but less than 7.5%) of our outstanding share capital, and (iii) one director nominee, so long as the other group beneficially owns at least 2.5% (but less than 5.0%) of our outstanding share capital.  In addition, to the extent that after the designation of the foregoing director nominees there are additional director vacancies, each of the Recanati Group and Damar Group have agreed to vote the ordinary shares beneficially owned by them in favor of such additional director nominees designated by the party who beneficially owns the larger voting rights in our company.
 
We are not aware of any reason why the nominees, if elected, would be unable or unwilling to serve as directors.  Should the nominees be unavailable for election, the proxies will be voted for substitute nominees designated by our Board of Directors.
 
If elected at the Meeting, the director nominees (other than Asaf Frumerman) will be paid an annual fee and per-meeting fees in the maximum amounts payable from time to time for such fees by us under the Second and Third Addendums (or, to the extent any director is determined to have financial and accounting expertise and is deemed an expert director (in each case, within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law and the regulations thereunder), under the Fourth Addendum) to the Companies Regulations (Rules Regarding Compensation and Expense Reimbursement of External Directors), 2000.  In addition, our current directors standing for re-election at the Meeting, if re-elected, shall continue to benefit from directors’ and officers’ indemnification and exculpation agreements previously entered into with each of them, as well as from directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as we shall procure from time to time.  In addition, the Compensation Committee recommended, and our Board subsequently approved, subject to shareholder approval, our entering into a directors’ and officers’ indemnification and exculpation agreement, in the same form as previously approved by the shareholders, with each of Ms. Gwen A. Melincoff and the New Director Nominees, if elected at the Meeting (see Proposal 2), and they will also benefit from directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as we shall procure from time.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to elect as directors the nominees named above.
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each nominee for director named above.
 
PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION AGREEMENT WITH NEW DIRECTORS
(Item 2 on the Amended Proxy Card)
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, a company may indemnify a director for the following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her, as an office holder (within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law), either pursuant to an undertaking given by the company in advance of the act or following the act, provided its articles of association authorize such indemnification:
 
·
a monetary liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court.  However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the company’s activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount, or according to criteria, determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances.  Such undertaking shall detail the foreseen events and amount or criteria mentioned above;
 
·
reasonable litigation expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder (1) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial liability was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea); and (2) in connection with a monetary sanction; and
 
9

·
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea).
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty, but may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care, but provided that a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in the company’s articles of association.  Our articles of association include such a provision.  However, pursuant to our Articles of Association, we may not exculpate an office holder for an action or transaction in which a controlling shareholder or any other office holder (including an office holder who is not the office holder we have undertaken to exculpate) has a personal interest (within the meaning of the Companies Law).  We also may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, a company may not indemnify or exculpate an office holder against any of the following:
 
·
a breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company;
 
·
a breach of the duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
 
·
an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or
 
·
a fine or penalty levied against the office holder.
 
Our articles of association permit us to indemnify and exculpate our office holders to the fullest extent permitted under the Israeli Companies Law (other than indemnification for litigation expenses in connection with a monetary sanction); provided that we may not exculpate an office holder for an action or transaction in which a controlling shareholder or any other office holder (including an office holder who is not the office holder we have undertaken to exculpate) has a personal interest (within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law).
 
We have entered into indemnification and exculpation agreements with all of our current office holders (other than Ms. Melincoff) exculpating them from a breach of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by the Israeli Companies Law (provided that we may not exculpate an office holder for an action or transaction in which a controlling shareholder or any other office holder (including an office holder who is not the office holder we have undertaken to exculpate) has a personal interest (within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law)) and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by the Israeli Companies Law (other than indemnification for litigation expenses in connection with a monetary sanction), to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by insurance.  This indemnification is limited to events determined as foreseeable by our board of directors based on our activities, as set forth in the indemnification agreements.  Under such agreements, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that we may pay to all of our office holders together is (i) for office holders who joined our company before May 31, 2013, the greater of 30% of the shareholders’ equity according to our most recent financial statements (audited or reviewed) at the time of payment and NIS 20 million, and (ii) for office holders who joined our company after May 31, 2013, 25% of the shareholders equity according to our most recent financial statements (audited or reviewed) at the time of payment.
 
On February 23, 2017 and September 17, 2017, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, respectively, approved, subject to shareholder approval, our entering into an indemnification and exculpation agreement with Ms. Melincoff, subject to her election as a director at the Meeting, effective as of the date of her appointment as a director by our Board of Directors.  On November 9, 2017, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, our entering into an indemnification and exculpation agreement with each of the New Director Nominees, subject to their election as a director at the Meeting.  The form of the indemnification and exculpation agreement to be entered into with Ms. Melincoff and each of the New Director Nominees is the form of indemnification and exculpation agreement approved by our shareholders at our 2015 annual general meeting, which form is consistent with our current Compensation Policy and as proposed to be amended at the Meeting (see Proposal 5 below).
 
10

Accordingly, we propose that, subject to the election of each of Ms. Melincoff and the New Director Nominees as a director at the Meeting, our shareholders approve our entering into an indemnification and exculpation agreement with each of them, in the form described above, with respect to Ms. Melincoff, effective as of the date of her appointment as a director by our Board of Directors.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, an undertaking to indemnify and exculpate a director, in a manner that is consistent with a company’s compensation policy, must be approved by the compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders of that company, in that order.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting, the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, subject to the election of each of Gwen A. Meloncoff and the New Director Nominees as a director, to approve the Company’s entering into an indemnification and exculpation agreement with each of them, in the form described in the Amended Proxy Statement for the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, with respect to Ms. Melincoff, effective as of the date of her appointment as a director by our Board of Directors.”

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve the foregoing resolution.
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution.
 
PROPOSAL 3
APPROVAL OF THE GRANT OF OPTIONS TO CURRENTLY SERVING DIRECTORS
(Item 3 on the Amended Proxy Card)
 
As an incentive for the continued activities and efforts of the members of our Board of Directors, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved, subject to shareholder approval, the grant of options to purchase 5,000 ordinary shares to each of our currently serving directors (other than Mr. Saadia Ozeri), subject to their reelection at the Meeting.  The options shall be exercisable on a cashless basis based on an exercise price of NIS 21.99 (approximately $6.30) per share (which, in accordance with our Compensation Policy, is equal to the higher of (i) the average closing price of our ordinary shares on the TASE during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the approval of the option grant by our Board of Directors plus 5% and (ii) the closing price of our ordinary shares on the TASE on the date of the approval of the option grant by our Board of Directors).  The options will vest over a period of four years in 13 installments: 25% of the options will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and 6.25% of the remaining options will vest at the end of each quarter thereafter.  The options will be exercisable for 6.5 years following the date of grant and all unexercised options will expire immediately thereafter.  The options will be granted under our 2011 Israeli Award Option Plan.  The award of the options and their terms are in accordance with our current Compensation Policy and as proposed to be amended at the Meeting (see Proposal 5 below).
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the payment of compensation, including the grant of options, to a director, which is consistent with a company’s compensation policy must be approved by the compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders, in that order.  On July 31, 2017, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, the grant of the options described above to our directors.
 
11

It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, to grant to each of the Company’s currently serving directors (other than Mr. Saadia Ozeri), subject to their reelection at the Meeting, options to purchase 5,000 ordinary shares of the Company.  The options shall be granted under the Company’s 2011 Israeli Award Option Plan and the terms of such option grants, including the exercise price and vesting terms, shall be as described in the Amended Proxy Statement for the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.”
 
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve the foregoing resolution.
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution.

PROPOSAL 5
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO COMPENSATION POLICY FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
(Item 5 on the Amended Proxy Card)
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, a public company is required to adopt a compensation policy, which sets forth the terms of service and employment of office holders, including the grant of any benefit, payment or undertaking to provide payment, any exemption from liability, insurance or indemnification, and any severance payment or benefit.  Such compensation policy must comply with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law.  The compensation policy must be approved at least once every three years, by the board of directors, after considering the recommendations of the compensation committee, and by the shareholders by a special majority (as described below).  In addition, the board of directors is required to periodically examine the compensation policy, as well as the need to adjust the policy in the event of a material change in the circumstances prevailing at the time of the adoption of the compensation policy or for other reasons.
 
The compensation policy must be determined and later reevaluated according to certain factors, including: (i) the advancement of a company’s objectives, business plan and its long-term strategy; (ii) the creation of appropriate incentives for executives, while considering (among other things) the company’s risk management policy; (iii) the size and the nature of the company’s operations; and (iv) with respect to variable compensation, the contribution of the office holder towards the achievement of the company’s long-term goals and the maximization of its profits, all with a long-term objective and in accordance with the position of the office holder.  The compensation policy must include certain principles and provisions set forth in the Israeli Companies Law.
 
Our current Compensation Policy, which was approved by our shareholders on August 30, 2016, applies to our chief executive officer, members of our executive management, each person fulfilling such positions even if his or her title is different, and directors.  The Compensation Policy was drafted and approved in accordance with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law and determines (among other things) the amount of the compensation of our office holders, its components, the maximum values for the various components of compensation and the method for determining compensation.

Our Compensation Policy provides (among things) that office holders (within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law) shall be covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which we shall acquire, from time to time, subject to applicable law or regulation.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, the procurement of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance generally requires shareholder approval; however, under the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief from Related Party Transactions), 2000, the procurement of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance shall not require shareholder approval and may be approved only by the compensation committee, if the terms of the insurance are set forth in the compensation policy and the compensation policy was adopted by the shareholders by a special majority, as set forth in the Israeli Companies Law, provided that the insurance is on market terms and is not likely to materially impact the profitability of the company or its assets or obligations.
 
Accordingly, our current Compensation Policy provides that the acquisition, extension, renewal or replacement of any such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance may be approved solely by our compensation committee provided that (i) the liability coverage does not exceed $30,000,000 (for each claim and in the aggregate) and the aggregate annual premium does not exceed $270,000, and the side “A” directors and officers liability coverage does not exceed $5,000,000 (for each claim and in the aggregate) and its aggregate annual premium does not exceed $30,000; and (ii) the insurance is on market terms and shall not have a material impact on our profitability, assets or liabilities, which we refer to as the “D&O Insurance Framework”.
 
In view of the recent market increases in premiums for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved, subject to shareholder approval, an increase in the maximum annual premium included in the D&O Insurance Framework set forth in the Compensation Policy to an aggregate annual premium that does not exceed $400,000.  Other than the foregoing increase in the annual premium, the terms of the D&O Insurance Framework set forth in the Compensation Policy shall remain as currently in effect.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the amendment of our Compensation Policy must be approved by the compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders by a special majority, in that order.  On August 31, 2017 and September 17, 2017, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, respectively, approved, subject to shareholder approval, the proposed amendment to our Compensation Policy, while taking into account the considerations, principles and provisions set forth in the Israeli Companies Law.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, that the amendment to the Compensation Policy of the Company with respect to the maximum annual premium payable for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, as set forth in the Amended Proxy Statement for the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders be, and hereby is, approved and adopted.”
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve the foregoing resolution, provided that either: (i) the shares voting in favor of the matter (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the matter, or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the matter by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the matter does not exceed two-percent of our outstanding voting rights.
 
The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on this proposal indicate on the amended proxy card, or, if voting in person at the Meeting, inform us prior to voting on the matter at the Meeting, whether or not the shareholder has a personal interest in the proposal.  Otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote on this proposal and his or her vote will not be counted for the purposes of this proposal.  For details regarding the meaning of “personal interest,” see “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals above.
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution.
