Dear Shareholder:
 
On September 19, 2019, Kamada Ltd. (the “Company”) announced the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on November 4, 2019 (the “Meeting”), and furnished the Notice and Proxy Statement for the Meeting and the accompanying proxy card, on Form 6-K, to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Israel Securities Authority.
 
On September 26, 2019, Brosh Capital Partners, L.P. and Exodus Management Israel Ltd. (together with their affiliates, the “Brosh Group”), which beneficially owned approximately 6.7% of the Company’s ordinary shares as of such date, submitted to the Company a request in accordance with Section 66(b) of the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the “Israel Companies Law”) to include on the agenda for the Meeting two proposals: (i) a proposal to determine that the number of directors to serve as members of the Company’s Board of Directors shall be seven (“Brosh Proposal #1”); and (ii) a proposal to elect seven directors out of the nine director nominees proposed by the Company’s Board of Directors for re-election at the Meeting (“Brosh Proposal #2” and together with Brosh Proposal #1, the “Brosh Capital Proposals”).  In addition, the Brosh Group requested that seven out of the nine director nominees be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, by way of a plurality of votes cast (i.e., that the seven nominees who receive a majority vote and who also receive the largest number of ”FOR” votes will be elected) (the “Plurality Voting Standard”).
 
On October 2, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has elected to delay the Meeting to allow additional time to communicate with the Brosh Group about the proposals it submitted for the Meeting.
 
The Company subsequently held discussions with the Brosh Group with respect to the Brosh Capital Proposals; however, the Brosh Capital Proposals have not been withdrawn by the Brosh Group to date.
 
Accordingly, the Board of Directors shall convene the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company on Tuesday, December 24, 2019, at such time and place, and for such purposes detailed in the enclosed Notice and Proxy Statement for the Meeting and the proxy card for use in connection with the Meeting.
 
Under Section 66(b) of the Israeli Companies Law, one or more shareholders who severally or jointly hold at least 1% of the outstanding voting rights are entitled to request that the Board of Directors include a proposal at a shareholder meeting, provided that such proposal is appropriate for consideration by shareholders at the general meeting.
 
Given that the Brosh Group holds more than 1% of the Company’s voting rights, the Board of Directors discussed and considered the Brosh Proposals to determine, in accordance with Israeli law, if they are appropriate for inclusion on the agenda for the Meeting.
 
With respect to Brosh Proposal #1 to reduce the number of directors who serve on the Board from nine to seven, our Board of Directors determined that the proposal is appropriate for inclusion on the agenda for the Meeting.  Under the Company’s Articles of Association, as currently in effect (the “Articles”), the number of directors of the Company shall be determined from time to time by the annual general meeting, provided that it is not less than five and no more than 11.  Accordingly, the agenda for the Meeting has been updated to include Brosh Proposal #1.


 
While discussing such proposal, members of the Board of Directors expressed their belief that the current Board of Directors effectively and efficiently provide oversight of management’s operation of the Company, in view of the size and complexity of its operations, its current strategic considerations and the transition the Company’s business is currently undergoing. Under the leadership of the current Board of Directors and management team, the Company is focusing on its strategy to create value for the Company and its shareholders.  Accordingly, six out of the eight directors who were present at the Board meeting regarding the Brosh Proposals voted in favor of the resolution to reaffirm the Board’s recommendation to re-elect the nine currently-serving directors. The two remaining directors, Mr. Asaf Frumerman and Ms. Efrat Makov, both of whom had originally voted in favor of the re-election of such nine directors in conjunction with the original Meeting scheduled for November 4, 2019, abstained from voting on the reaffirmation of such resolution.  Accordingly, our Board of Directors recommends that the nine currently-serving directors be re-elected to serve as directors of the Company at the Meeting.
 
In addition, the Board of Directors, together with the Company’s advisors, considered Brosh Proposal #2 to elect seven directors from the nine director nominees proposed by the Board of Directors for re-election at the Meeting,  by way of the Plurality Voting Standard.  Under the Articles, directors are elected by majority vote regardless of whether the election is contested.  Under the majority voting standard, a director nominee is elected if he/she receives greater than 50% of the votes cast.  The Articles do not determine the voting mechanics that would apply in the context of a contested election (i.e., an election in which the total number of nominees for election to the Board of Directors at a general meeting of shareholders, including any director nominees proposed by shareholders in compliance with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law, exceeds the total number of directors to be elected at such meeting).  As a result, under the Articles, in the event of a contested election of directors, it is possible that more than the maximum number of directors to be elected would be elected to the Board of Directors.  Accordingly, our Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Brosh Group’s request that seven out of the nine director nominees be elected by way of a Plurality Voting Standard is not consistent with the majority voting standard set forth in the Articles.  Furthermore, the Brosh Group request that the directors be elected by way of the Plurality Voting Standard does not address other requirements of Israeli law regarding the composition of our Board of Directors.  As a result of such review and consideration, six out of the eight directors who were present at the Board meeting regarding the Brosh Proposals determined that Brosh Proposal #2 in its current form is not appropriate for inclusion on the agenda for the Meeting.  The two remaining directors, Mr. Frumerman and Ms. Makov, abstained from voting on the resolution of the Board of Directors to determine whether Brosh Proposal #2 is appropriate for inclusion on the agenda for the Meeting and the process that would apply with respect to the election of seven directors if Brosh Proposal #1 shall be approved by the shareholders at the Meeting, as described below.
 
If Brosh Proposal #1 is approved by the shareholders at the Meeting and the number of directors to serve on the Board shall be reduced to seven, the Board of Director’s proposal that the nine currently-serving directors be re-elected to serve as directors of the Company at the Meeting and all votes voted on such proposal will be deemed cancelled.  In such case, no directors will be elected at the Meeting and in accordance with the Articles and applicable law, the nine currently-serving directors shall continue to serve as directors until their successors are duly elected by the shareholders of the Company.  In such event, the Board of Directors will promptly reconvene following the Meeting to consider and determine the appropriate mechanism for the nomination and appointment of the seven directors and thereafter, the Board of Directors will promptly convene a general meeting of shareholders of the Company for the election of the seven directors. If Brosh Proposal #1 is not approved by the shareholders at the Meeting, the Board of Director’s proposal that the nine currently-serving directors be re-elected to serve as directors of the Company at the Meeting will be in effect and votes voted on such proposal will be counted for purposes of such proposal.
 
Shareholders of record at the close of business on November 18, 2019 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting.
 
Accordingly, enclosed please find the Notice and Proxy Statement for the Meeting and accompanying proxy card for the Meeting.  The proxy card previously distributed by the Company 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 proxy card in the envelope provided, in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Leon Recanati
Chairman of the Board of Directors

In addition, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 will be reviewed and discussed at the Meeting.
 
Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the re-election of each of the director nominees set forth in Proposal 1 and each of Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5, which are described in the attached Proxy Statement.
 
Shareholders of record at the close of business on November 18, 2019 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 Proxy Statement and on the enclosed proxy card.


 
Shareholders may review the full version of the proposed resolutions in the Proxy Statement as well as the accompanying 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 Ms. Orna Naveh, our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary (2 Holzman Street, Weizmann Science Park, Rehovot, Israel; Tel: +972-73-3988444).
 
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.
 
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 each of the director nominees set forth in Proposal 1 and to approve each of Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
 
In addition to the foregoing majority requirement, the approval of each of Proposals 2 (if Proposal 4 is not approved by the shareholders at the Meeting), 3 and 4, is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements: (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 2, 3 and 4.  A shareholder who signs and returns a 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 2, 3 and 4.  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 2, 3 and 4, you should contact our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Orna Naveh, at ornan@kamada.com or +972-73-3988444.
 
The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on Proposals 2, 3 and 4 indicate on the 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
Chairman of the Board of Directors

Purpose of the Annual General Meeting
 
At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following: (1) election of nine directors to serve as members of our Board of Directors until our next annual general meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected by the shareholders of the Company; (2) approval of the grant of options to each of the director nominees (other than Mr. Asaf Frumerman), subject to their election at the Meeting; (3) approval of amended compensation terms and a one-time award of equity-based compensation, consisting of options and restricted shares, to Mr. Amir London, our Chief Executive Officer; (4) approval of an amended Compensation Policy for Executive Officers and Compensation Policy for Directors; (5) ratification and approval of the reappointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2019 and for such additional period until our next annual general meeting of shareholders; and (6) Proposal of Brosh Capital Partners L.P. (“Brosh Capital”): to determine that the number of directors to serve as members of the Company’s Board of Directors shall be seven.
 
If Proposal 6 is approved by the shareholders at the Meeting and the number of directors to serve on the Board shall be reduced to seven, votes voted on Proposal 1 and Proposal 1 in its entirety will be deemed cancelled.  In such case, no directors will be elected at the Meeting and in accordance with our Articles of Association and applicable law, the nine currently-serving directors shall continue to serve as directors until their successors are duly elected by the shareholders of the Company.  In such event, the Board of Directors will promptly reconvene following the Meeting to consider and determine the appropriate mechanism for the nomination and appointment of the seven directors and thereafter, the Board of Directors will promptly convene a general meeting of shareholders for the election of the seven directors.  If Proposal 6 is not approved by the shareholders at the Meeting, Proposal 1 will be in effect and votes voted on Proposal 1 will be counted for purposes of Proposal 1.
 
In addition, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 will be reviewed and discussed at the Meeting.
 
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 the re-election of each of the director nominees set forth in Proposal 1 and each of Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5 set forth in this Proxy Statement.
 
Six out of the eight directors who were present at the Board meeting regarding the proposals submitted by Brosh Capital voted in favor of the resolution to reaffirm the Board’s recommendation to re-elect the nine director nominees set forth in Proposal 1.  The two remaining directors, Mr. Asaf Frumerman and Ms. Efrat Makov, both of whom had originally voted in favor of the re-election of such nine directors in conjunction with the original Meeting scheduled for November 4, 2019, abstained from voting on the reaffirmation of such resolution.  Mr. Frumerman and Ms. Makov also abstained from voting on the resolution of the Board of Directors to determine the process that would apply with respect to the election of seven directors if the Brosh Capital proposal to reduce the Board of Directors to seven members (Proposal 6) shall be approved by the shareholders at the Meeting.


 
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 November 18, 2019.  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 November 18, 2019, 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 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 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 a proxy card, such shares will be voted FOR each proposal for which the Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR.
 
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 General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, 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 the 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.
 
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.
 
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 each of the director nominees set forth in Proposal 1 and to approve each of Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
 
In addition to the foregoing majority requirement, the approval of each of Proposals 2 (if Proposal 4 is not approved by the shareholders at the Meeting), 3 and 4 is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements (the “Special Majority”): (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 the Company as of the current time for purposes of Proposals 2, 3 and 4.  A shareholder who signs and returns a 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 2, 3 and 4.  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 2, 3 and 4, you should contact our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Orna Naveh, at ornan@kamada.com or +972-73-3988444.
 
The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on Proposals 2, 3 and 4 indicate on the 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.

3

 
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.
 
Position Statements
 
In accordance with the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder, any shareholder may submit to us a position statement on its behalf, expressing its position on an agenda item for the Meeting to our offices, 2 Holzman Street, Weizmann Science Park, Rehovot, Israel, Attention: Ms. Orna Naveh, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, or by facsimile to +972-8-9406473, no later than Friday, December, 13 2019 at 2:00 pm Israel time.
 
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 November 1, 2019 (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 current directors and director nominees; and (iii) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.
 
The percentage of beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares is based on 40,511,938 ordinary shares outstanding as of November 1, 2019.  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.

PROPOSAL 1
 
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Item 1 on the Proxy Card)
 
Under our articles of association, the number of directors on our Board of Directors shall be no less than five and no more than 11.  Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of nine directors: Leon Recanati, Dr. Michael Berelowitz, Avraham Berger, Asaf Frumerman, Jonathan Hahn, Itzhak Krinsky, Efrat Makov, Shmuel (Milky) Rubinstein and David Tsur, all of whom were elected to serve in such capacity at our 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders.  Each of our directors generally holds office until the first annual general meeting of shareholders following his or her appointment (unless the tenure of such director expires earlier or a director is removed from office pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law).
 
Each of our currently serving directors is standing for re-election at the Meeting, to hold office until our next annual general meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected by the shareholders of the Company, subject to our articles of association and applicable law.
 
It is the opinion of the Board of Directors that the current Board of Directors effectively and efficiently provide oversight of management’s operation of the Company, in view of the size and complexity of its operations, its current strategic considerations and the transition the Company’s business is currently undergoing. Under the leadership of the current Board of Directors and management team, the Company is focusing on its strategy to create value for the Company and its shareholders.
 
Accordingly, our Board of Directors recommends that the nine currently-serving directors be re-elected to serve as directors of the Company at the Meeting.  Six out of the eight directors who were present at the Board meeting regarding the proposals submitted by Brosh Capital voted in favor of the resolution to reaffirm the Board’s recommendation to re-elect the nine currently-serving directors. The two remaining directors, Mr. Asaf Frumerman and Ms. Efrat Makov, both of whom had originally voted in favor of the re-election of such nine directors in conjunction with the original Meeting scheduled for November 4, 2019, abstained from voting on the reaffirmation of such resolution.  Mr. Frumerman and Ms. Makov also abstained from voting on the resolution regarding the process that would apply with respect to the election of seven directors if the proposal of Brosh Capital to reduce the number of directors who serve on the Board of Director to seven (Proposal 6) shall be approved by the shareholders at the Meeting.

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 the Company.
 
We are not aware of any reason why the nominees, if re-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 re-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 to the Companies Regulations (Rules Regarding Compensation and Expense Reimbursement of External Directors), 2000.  Mr. Tsur shall, in addition, be entitled to compensation for his service as Active Deputy Chairman, to the extent he continues to serve in such capacity, in accordance with the agreement we entered into with him in July 2015, as described under “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Compensation of Executive Officers” of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2019. 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.
 
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 re-elect each director nominee named above to our Board of Directors.
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the re-election of each nominee for director named above.
 
PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF THE GRANT OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
(Item 2 on the Proxy Card)
 
As an incentive for the 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 to each of the director nominees (other than Mr. Asaf Frumerman), subject to their re-election at the Meeting, of options to purchase 26,500 ordinary shares, exercisable on a cashless basis based on an exercise price of NIS 21.34 (approximately $6.06) per share (which exercise price is equal to the higher of (a) 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 (b) 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).  All of the foregoing options will be granted under our 2011 Israeli Award Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and 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 award of the options and their terms are in accordance with our current Compensation Policy and the proposed amended Compensation Policy for Directors being presented for approval at the Meeting (see Proposal 5 below), except that the value of the directors’ options is consistent only with the proposed amended Compensation Policy for Directors (subject to its approval at the Meeting) (see Proposal 5).

10

 
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), and if the compensation policy is not consistent with a company’s compensation policy, the shareholder approval must be by the Special Majority.  Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved, subject to shareholder approval, the grant of the options described above to our director nominees, subject to their re-election at the Meeting.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, to grant to each of the director nominees (other than Mr. Asaf Frumerman), subject to their re-election as directors at the Meeting, options to purchase 26,500 ordinary shares of the Company, under the 2011 Plan and with such terms (including exercise price and vesting terms) as set forth in the Proxy Statement for the 2019 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.
 
If Proposal 4 is not approved by the shareholders at the Meeting, the approval of Proposal 2 is also subject to the fulfillment of the Special Majority.  Accordingly, if Proposal 4 is not approved by the shareholders at the Meeting, the Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on Proposal 2 indicate on the 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.

In addition, our company’s policy is to grant equity-based compensation to our employees and executive officers on an annual basis.  According to such policy, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved, subject to shareholder approval, the grant to Mr. London of equity-based compensation, consisting of options to purchase 90,000 ordinary shares and 30,000 restricted ordinary shares. The options shall be exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price equal to NIS 21.34 (approximately $6.06 per share) which, in accordance with our current Compensation Policy and the proposed amended Compensation Policy for Executive Officers being presented for approval at the Meeting (see Proposal 5 below), 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 and restricted shares will vest over a period of four years in 13 installments: 25% of the options and restricted shares will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and 6.25% of the remaining options and restricted shares will vest at the end of each quarter thereafter.  Any unvested portion of the options and restricted shares shall be accelerated and become immediately vested if the employment of Mr. London is terminated by us without “Cause” (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan) or as of the date which is ten days prior to the effective date of a “Transaction” (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan).  The options will be exercisable for 6.5 years following the date of grant and all unexercised options will expire immediately thereafter.  The options and restricted shares will be granted under our 2011 Plan.
 
Other than as described above, Mr. London’s terms of engagement as Chief Executive Officer shall remain as currently in effect.
 
The proposed increased gross monthly salary and the equity-based award, consisting of options and restricted shares, are in accordance with our current Compensation Policy and the proposed amended Compensation Policy for Executive Officers being presented for approval at the Meeting (see Proposal 4 below).
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the payment of compensation, including the award of equity-based compensation, to a chief executive officer that is consistent with a company’s compensation policy must be approved by the compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders by the Special Majority (in that order).
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:
 
RESOLVED, to approve the increase in the gross monthly salary of Mr. Amir London, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as described in the Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, and the award to Mr. London of options and restricted ordinary shares under the Company’s 2011 Plan, with such terms (including the exercise price of the options and the vesting terms of the awards) as set forth in the Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.”
 
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.  In addition, the approval of Proposal 3 is also subject to the fulfillment of the Special Majority.
 
The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on this proposal indicate on the 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.

PROPOSAL 4

APPROVAL OF AMENDED COMPENSATION POLICY FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND
COMPENSATION POLICY FOR DIRECTORS
(Item 4 on the 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 (within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law), 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 the Special Majority. 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 and amended by our shareholders on November 30, 2017 and December 20, 2018, 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 Committee and Board of Directors conducted a periodic review of our Compensation Policy, including in view of recent amendments to the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief from Related Party Transactions), 2000, which grant certain relief when approving certain office holder compensation, and recent guidance regarding compensation policies issued by the Israel Securities Authority.  In addition, the Company engaged independent consultants to prepare applicable benchmarks, which were reviewed and considered by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors.  Based on the foregoing review and consideration, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors concluded that it would be in the best interest of our company to replace our current Compensation Policy for Executive Officers and Directors with the proposed Compensation Policy for Executive Officers attached as Appendix A1 (the “Amended Executive Officers Compensation Policy”) and the proposed Compensation Policy for Directors attached as Appendix A2 (the “Amended Directors Compensation Policy” and together with the Amended Executive Officers Compensation Policy, the “Amended Compensation Policies”).  The primary differences between the provisions of the proposed Amended Compensation Policies as compared to those of our current Compensation Policy are as follows:
 

Variable compensation (cash and equity-based) for executive officers:
 

o
Delegation of the authority to determine measurable criteria, to the following: in the case of the Chief Executive Officer - to the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors; in the case of any other executive - to the Chief Executive Officer, provided, in each case the criteria is consistent with the compensation policy and that all bonuses to officers shall be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.
 
13



o
The list of company performance criteria has been revised to a closed list from which such criteria may be chosen for the award in any year, and ranges for the relative weight of each criteria have been included (any criteria may constitute up to 50% of each of the total company performance criteria and individual performance criteria).
 

Amendment of provisions relating to equity based compensation, including: (i) reduction of the maximum value of equity-based compensation that may be granted on an annual basis to an officer other than the Chief Executive Officer from up to 15 months gross base salaries to up to 12 months.  (The maximum value of equity-based compensation payable to the Chief Executive Officer has not been amended and remains at up to 15 months gross base salaries); (ii) amendment of the maximum value of total equity-based compensation that may be granted on an annual basis to a director from up to 15 months gross base salaries to up to $50,000; and (iii) amendment of the manner for determining the exercise price for option grants.
 

Inclusion of a provision providing that a non-material amendment to the terms of office and engagement of an office holder who is subordinate to the Chief Executive Officer (as compared to the terms approved by the Compensation Committee) shall not require the approval of the Compensation Committee, provided that such amendment was approved by the Chief Executive Officer and the amended engagement terms are consistent with the compensation policy.
 

Amendment of the terms for the procurement, renewal, extension or replacement of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, which enable the approval of the procurement of the insurance policy solely by our Compensation Committee and alleviate the need for board and shareholder approval (provided that the insurance policy is on market terms and is not likely to have a material impact on the company’s profits, assets or obligations), as follows: coverage of up to US$50 million (including Side A coverage); annual premium of up to US$750,000; and a maximum aggregate deductible of $2 million.
 

Amendment of the special bonus provision such that (i) the maximum amount payable as a special bonus shall be up to six month gross base salaries; and (ii) a signing bonus may be payable as a special bonus.
 

Amendment of the retirement and termination of employment payment provision to include an additional threshold, whereby in the event of at least 10 years of employment, a bonus in the amount of up to six months gross base salaries may be payable.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the amendment of our Compensation Policy must be approved by the Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders by the Special Majority (in that order).  Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, the proposed Amended Compensation Policies, while taking into account the considerations, principles and provisions set forth in the Israeli Companies Law.

If the Amended Compensation Policies are approved and adopted by our shareholders at the Meeting, they may remain in effect for up to three years, and shall be subject to periodic assessments by our Board of Directors in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, that the Amended Executive Officers Compensation Policy, attached as Appendix A1 to the Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, and the Amended Directors Compensation Policy Compensation, attached as Appendix A2 to the Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, be, and hereby are, 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.  In addition, the approval of Proposal 4 is also subject to the fulfillment of the Special Majority.

14

 
The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on this proposal indicate on the 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.
 
PROPOSAL 5

PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
(Item 5 on the Proxy Card)

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, Israeli law and our Articles of Association, our Audit Committee pre-approves and recommends to the Board, and our Board of Directors approves the compensation of our independent registered public accountants.  Pursuant to the pre-approval and recommendation of our Audit Committee, our Board of Directors has approved the engagement of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer for the audit of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019, for compensation of up to US$235,000.  For details regarding the fees billed to us by Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer for professional services rendered in 2018, see “Item 16C. Principal Accountant Fees and Services” of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2019.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, that the appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the independent registered public accountants of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2019 and for such additional period until the next annual general meeting of shareholders, be and hereby is ratified and approved.”

4.
General Considerations 
 

4.1.
This Policy is made, and the Terms of Office and Engagement determined pursuant hereto shall be determined, on the basis of various considerations, including those listed below.
 

4.1.1.
The Compensation Policy was designed, among other things, to ensure the Company’s ability to recruit and retain the highly talented management personnel that have the appropriate qualifications needed by the Company, which is a key element for the Company’s success.  The Company believes that in order to attract and retain competent and skilled Executives that would support the efforts to create shareholder value, the Executives’ Terms of Office and Engagement should generally be comparable to Executives in comparable companies.  In certain circumstances, in order to attract unique talents that are considered by the Company as such, the Terms of Office and Engagement may exceed the above levels.
 

4.1.2.
Promoting the Company’s objectives, its business plan and its long-term strategy.  The Company believes that attracting and retaining Executives that have appropriate qualifications is one of the key elements to the Company's success. In order to attract and retain Executives that possess skills, experience, professional capabilities and motivation that would support the Company’s efforts to increase shareholder value, the Terms of Office and Engagement under which such Executives are retained should be competitive, should reflect the anticipated contribution of such Executives to the Company and its business, should reflect the scope of authority and responsibilities of the Executive and should create adequate incentives for such Executives to dedicate their full attention, skills and efforts to the success and growth of the Company. 
 
A1 - 3


4.1.3.
Creating appropriate incentives to the Company’s Executives, considering, among other factors, the Company’s risk management policy.  In this respect, the Company will strive to create balanced compensation arrangements under which an Executive will be motivated to contribute to the achievement of the Company’s targets by creating a link between performance and compensation.  On the other hand, attention will be given to the need to allocate an appropriate portion to compensation that is not based on performance with a view to maintaining caution as to the tolerance of risk management.  In addition, the Company believes that the Terms of Office and Engagement should reflect a balance between short-term and long-term achievements, between personal performance of an Executive and performance of the Company or specific divisions or regions of the Company, between past performance and future performance and taking into account various other considerations that are appropriate in each individual case.  Moreover, the Company believes that the Terms of Office and Engagement of each Executive are both a reflection of the Company’s general policies and the individual circumstances relating to the retention of such Executive, and therefore, there may be variations between the Terms of Office and Engagement of different Executives.
 

4.1.4.
The size of the Company and the nature of its operations.  The Company operates in an advanced international environment and in markets that are dynamic and are continuously in flux, offering multiple and different challenges.  Accordingly, in connection with the determination of the Terms of Office and Engagement of each Executive, appropriate attention should be given to the particular circumstances and challenges of such Executive.
 

4.1.5.
The Terms of Office and Engagement of an Executive should generally be determined after consideration is given to the terms offered to comparable Executives in comparable companies, to the extent such information is readily available, with a view to the Company’s ability to offer competitive terms and retain competent and capable Executives.
 

4.2.
The Terms of Office and Engagement of an Executive may include a combination of various components, such as: salary and auxiliary payments and benefits, annual bonuses, special bonuses, equity or equity-linked awards, expense reimbursement, insurance, exculpation and indemnification, and compensation and benefits mandated by Applicable Law.  In each instance, the appropriate components should be considered, and not necessarily all of the above mentioned components need be included.
 
5.
Specific Considerations in the determination of Terms of Office and Engagement
 
With a view to achieving the general purpose and intent of the considerations as set forth in Section 4, the Terms of Office and Engagement of an Executive shall be predominantly based on the following considerations:
 

5.1.
The education, qualification, skills, expertise, professional experience, accomplishments, references, reputation and achievements of the Executive; 
 
A1 - 4


5.2.
If applicable, the experience, references, reviews, achievements and sustained performance of the Executive overtime with the Company and its Affiliates;
 

5.3.
The seniority, tenure and duration of employment with or service to the Company or its Affiliates;
 

5.4.
The job function, organizational level, position and areas of and scope of responsibility and authority of the Executive;
 

5.5.
The obligations, responsibilities, roles and objectives imposed on the Executive under Applicable Law;
 

5.6.
The need to retain Executives who have relevant skills, experience, know-how or unique expertise;
 

5.7.
Prior Terms of Office and Engagement with the Company and its Affiliates or previous employers;
 

5.8.
The then current and prospective condition of the Company’s business, affairs, budget, operations, activities, liabilities, financial results, plans and strategy;
 

5.9.
Geographical location and region of activity, and the then common employment or compensation practices in the industry and/or the relevant geographical location, region of activity or jurisdiction;
 

5.10.
The terms of compensation of other groups of employees of the Company and its Affiliates that are determined to be relevant;
 

5.11.
The employment or compensation practices of comparable companies.  The extent to which reference to comparable companies shall be required, as well as the parameters for determination of the identity of the companies which are comparable, shall be examined in each instance.  Such parameters may include: the field of operation or industry, public or privately held companies, size, local or global operations, business condition, numbers of years of operations and jurisdiction of incorporation or of the executive headquarters;
 

5.12.
Intra-organizational implications, including impact on other relevant employees of the Company and its Affiliates;
 

5.13.
The ratio between the cost of the Terms of Office and Engagement of the Executive and the total cost of salary (as such term is defined in the Companies Law) of other employees of the Company, and specifically the average and median total cost of salary (as such term is defined in the Companies Law) of other employees of the Company (including, for purposes of this section, those engaged through manpower companies), and the effect of such differences on the employment environment in the Company;
 

5.14.
If the Terms of Office and Engagement include variable components, inclusion of provisions reducing variable components, and setting a limit on the exercise value of an equity variable component, all at the Board’s discretion;
 
A1 - 5


5.15.
If the Terms of Office and Engagement include termination benefits, the period of employment or service of the Executive, the Executive’s Terms of Office and Engagement during such period, the performance of the Company (or the applicable Affiliate or division) during such period, the Executive’s contribution towards the Company’s achievement of its goals and maximizing its profits, and the circumstances of termination;
 

5.16.
If the Terms of Office and Engagement include equity or equity-linked components, the value thereof and the anticipated incentive associated with such components;
 

5.17.
Any requirements prescribed by the Companies Law, U.S. securities laws and NASDAQ or other stock exchange rules, and any other Applicable Law, from time to time;
 

5.18.
General goals and objectives of the Company (or if applicable, the relevant Affiliate or division) and incentivizing the Executive to reach and achieve these goals;
 

5.19.
The specific goals or targets defined for the Executive or for which such Executive is recruited or retained and incentivizing the Executive to reach and achieve these goals; and
 

5.20.
Such other considerations as are deemed relevant or applicable in the circumstances.
 
The determination shall be made on the basis of all or part of the foregoing considerations and the weight of any particular consideration shall be as determined in the particular instance and based on the specific circumstances.
 
The Company may, but shall not be required to, obtain advice from advisors and professionals for the purpose of assessing and determining the above considerations as the Company deems necessary, including, for the purpose of gathering relevant data, market research, labor practices and economic/cost analysis.
 
6.

Committee and Board
 
The CEO shall inform the Committee of any awards to Executives (other than the CEO) determined by the CEO in accordance with the authority granted under this Section 6.2.2 at the first Committee meeting to be held after the determination by the CEO of each such award.
 
Subject to Applicable Law, the Committee and Board shall determine and approve if and to what extent the measureable criteria (determined in accordance with the authority granted under this Section 6.2.2) have been achieved with respect to the CEO and all other Executives.
 

6.2.3.
Bonuses.  Bonuses may include plan-based annual bonuses and other bonuses:
 

6.2.3.1.
Annual Bonus. Executives may be incentivized through an annual bonus program that sets performance targets based on their role and scope.
 

(a)
With respect to each year, a bonus plan (the “Bonus Plan”) may be prepared for each Executive, as provided in clause (b) below, subject to Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.1.  The Bonus Plan may, but shall not be required to, be set out in individual agreements with the applicable Executives.
 

(b)
The Bonus Plan will be comprised primarily of a measurable component and a small portion may be evaluation based, as follows:
 

(i)
Measurable Component:  A significant portion of the annual bonus, not less than 80%, shall be determined based on measureable criteria, as follows.
 

Company Performance Criteria.  Quantifiable and measurable Company performance criteria shall be determined and shall be the same for all Executives.  The extent of meeting these measures shall determine 80% of the total bonus for the CEO and 40% of the total bonus for other Executives.
 

Individual Performance Criteria.  Quantifiable and measurable key performance indicators (KPIs) shall be determined for each Executive separately, in accordance with his/her position. The extent of meeting these measures shall determine 40% of the total bonus of an Executive other than the CEO.  No personal measures shall be determined for the CEO.
 
A1 - 10

Measurable criteria may include the following: financial measures (such as net revenues; sales turnover, operating profit, percentage of operating profit, EBITDA, net profit, operating profit; earnings per share (EPS) and cash flow); obtaining regulatory approvals from the authorities in the target markets; achievement of operational, organizational and/or managerial goals, achievement of clinical and/or R&D milestones; quality objectives; success in raising capital; meeting the Company’s budget; business development goals; and mergers and acquisitions.  Each such criteria may constitute up to 50% of each of the total Company and individual performance criteria.
 

(ii)
Discretionary Component (Managerial Appraisal):  The Company may determine that a portion of an Executive’s annual cash bonus will be based on the evaluation of an Executive’s performance (by the Board in the case of the CEO and by the CEO in the case of all other Executives) in terms that are not measurable but which have a contribution to the Company’s long-term performance.  The managerial appraisal will determine 20% of an Executive’s total annual bonus.
 

(c)
The following will be considered when determining the allocation of the above criteria, which may differ from one Executive to another: (i) emphasizing the high level of accountability to overall Company performance and financial results expected of each Executive; (ii) creating a personal link between each Executive’s compensation and the achievement of the corporate goals; and (iii) driving individuals to a high-performance culture.
 

(d)
The criteria and the method of measuring the criteria underlying the bonuses may differ from period to period and from one Executive to another.
 

(e)
The payment of any annual bonus to any Executives under the Bonus Plan for a given year shall be subject to a minimum percentage of achievement of the Company performance criteria for such calendar year, less than which percentage Executives shall not be paid any annual bonus whatsoever for such calendar year; the minimum percentage is 70%.
 

(f)
The maximum bonus amount per year under the Bonus Plan that an Executive will be entitled to receive for any given calendar year may not exceed fifteen (15) (gross) monthly salaries for the CEO and twelve (12) (gross) monthly salaries for an Executive other than the CEO.
 

(g)
To the extent applicable, the Bonus Plan may be revisited during the annual period, including in order to account for significant changes in the Company’s business or operations or material changes in the market(s) in which the Company operates during such year.  Without limiting the foregoing, the authorized body shall be entitled to reduce or cancel an Executive’s annual bonus at his or its discretion.
 

(h)
An Executive whose employment shall commence during a bonus year will be entitled to a pro-rated bonus, provided that the Executive has been employed for at least four months during the bonus year; provided, however, that under special circumstances, the authorized body may determine that an Executive whose employment was for less than four months during the bonus year shall be entitled to a pro-rated bonus.  An Executive whose employment terminated during a bonus year (including upon a change of control event) may be entitled to a pro-rated bonus for that year, other than if the employment was terminated for Cause (as such term shall be defined in the Executive’s individual agreement and in the absence thereof, as defined in the Equity Plan), in which case an Executive shall not be entitled to an annual bonus.
