How You Can Vote

 

Enclosed are a form of WHITE proxy card and a WHITE voting instruction form for the Meeting that are being solicited by the Proposing Shareholders. We are mailing copies of this notice and Proxy Statement and (i) the WHITE voting instruction form to holders of American Depositary Shares representing the Company’s Ordinary Shares of a nominal value of NIS 5.00 each (“ADS”) as of the Record Date and (ii) the WHITE proxy card to holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date, if any, and the Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary for the ADS, and we will solicit proxies primarily by mail and e-mail. The original solicitation of proxies by mail and e-mail may be further supplemented by solicitation by telephone, mail, e-mail and other means by certain of our officers, directors and employees (who will not receive additional compensation for these services) as well as by Okapi Partners LLC (“Okapi”), the external proxy solicitor we have engaged for this purpose. We will bear the cost of external solicitors and of the solicitation of the WHITE proxy card and WHITE voting instruction form, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of the ADS. However, it should be clarified that we intend to seek full reimbursement from the Company and/or the current serving members of the Board for all of our expenses in accordance with the provisions of Section 64(b) of the Companies Law.

 

The WHITE proxy card for use at the Meeting is attached to the Proxy Statement, and the WHITE voting instruction form, together with a return envelope, will be sent by us (or on our behalf) to holders of ADS. By appointing “proxies,” shareholders and ADS holders may vote at the Meeting whether or not they attend. If a properly executed WHITE proxy card in the attached form is delivered to Murchinson, in care of Okapi, at least four (4) hours prior to the Meeting, all of the Ordinary Shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the form. Direct (also known as registered) ADS holders should return their voting instruction form by the date set forth therein to Murchinson, in care of Okapi, or, in the case of indirect holders of ADS that hold ADS beneficially through a bank, broker or other financial institution, to such ADS holder’s respective bank, broker or other financial institution.

 

Subject to applicable law and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, in the absence of instructions, the Ordinary Shares or ADS represented by properly executed and received WHITE proxies or voting instruction forms (as applicable) will be voted “FOR” each Proposal to be presented at the Meeting for which we, the Proposing Shareholders, recommend a vote “FOR.”

 

Shareholders may revoke their proxies or voting instruction form (as applicable) in accordance with Section 9 of the Companies Law regulations (proxy and positions statements), by filing with Murchinson, in care of Okapi, a written notice of revocation or duly executed WHITE proxy or WHITE voting instruction form (as applicable) bearing a later date.

 

Shareholders holding Ordinary Shares may also (i) vote their shares in person at the Meeting by presenting a certificate of ownership that complies with the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting), 5760-2000, as amended, as proof of ownership of the shares on the Record Date, or (ii) send such certificate along with a duly executed WHITE proxy and including a copy of their identity card, passport or certification of incorporation, as the case may be, to Murchinson, in care of Okapi, not less than 48 hours prior to the Meeting. In addition, shareholders of record (other than the Bank of New York Mellon) can surrender their shares with the Bank of New York Mellon in order to convert such shares to ADS and vote as a holder of ADS, provided such shareholders of record complete such conversion and registration of said shares to ADS with the Bank of New York Mellon prior to the Record Date. ADS holders should return their proxies by the date set forth on their voting instruction card to the address below or to their broker, as applicable.
