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

 

Two or more shareholders present, personally or by proxy, holding not less than one third of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, shall constitute a quorum for the Meeting.

If a quorum is not present at the second meeting at the time appointed for such meeting, any number of shareholders present personally or by proxy shall be deemed a quorum, and shall be entitled to deliberate and to resolve in respect of the matters for which the Meeting was convened. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as Ordinary Shares present for the purpose of determining a quorum.

 

We currently intend to hold the Meeting in person. However, depending on developments with respect to the COVID-19, we might hold the Meeting virtually on the above date and time instead of in person. If we determine that a change to a virtual meeting format is advisable or required, an announcement of such change will be made on our Investor Relations website at https://ir.foresightauto.com/ and on Form 6-K as promptly as practicable, and will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and in addition at www.magna.isa.gov.il or https://maya.tase.co.il/. 

 

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, 5799-1999 (the “Companies Law”), Proposals No. 1 through 3 described hereinafter require the affirmative vote of shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and holding Ordinary Shares amounting in the aggregate to at least a majority of the votes actually cast by shareholders with respect to such proposals (a “Simple Majority”).

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law, Proposals No.‎ 4 and 5 described hereinafter requires the affirmative vote of the Company’s shareholders holding at least a majority of the Company’s Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either: (i) the majority of the shares that are voted at the Meeting in favor of such Proposals, excluding abstentions, includes a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders or do not have a personal interest in the Proposal; or (ii) the total number of shares of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against such Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company (the “Special Majority”).

 

 

 

 

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

 

For this purpose, a “controlling shareholder” is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if he or she holds or controls, by himself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of a company; in the context of a transaction with an interested party, a shareholder who holds 25% or more of the voting rights in the company if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights in the company, is also presumed to be a controlling shareholder. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of a company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of a company or its chief executive officer.

 

For the background regarding the Company’s election to submit Proposal no. 5 to the shareholders’ approval by Special Majority, see Proposal no. ‎5 herein.

PROPOSAL ‎4

 

TO AMEND THE COMPANY’S COMPENSATION POLICY

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law, all public Israeli companies, including Dual Companies, such as the Company, are required to adopt a written compensation policy for their executives, which addresses certain items prescribed by the Companies Law and serves as a flexible framework for executive and director compensation. Our current Compensation Policy became effective on July 16, 2020, following its approval by our shareholders.

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the Compensation Policy must be reviewed from time to time by our Financial Statements Review, Audit and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) and Board of Directors, to ensure its alignment with the Company’s compensation philosophy and to consider its appropriateness for the Company.

 

Our Compensation Policy currently caps the monthly compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to NIS 100,000 (approximately $31,000) (in terms of cost to employer) (the “CEO Monthly Cap”).

 

It is proposed to increase the CEO Monthly Cap to NIS 140,000 (approximately $43,000) (the “Proposed Cap”). According to a benchmark analysis of the terms of compensation of chief executive officers performed by an independent consultant, BDO Consulting, and presented to the Committee and the Board of Directors (the “Benchmark”), the Proposed Cap is within the lower quarter of the companies included in the Benchmark.

 

The proposed amendment to the Compensation Policy was approved by our Committee and Board of Directors on their meetings held on March 25 and April 4, 2021.

        

The Company’s shareholders are requested to adopt the following resolution:

 

“RESOLVED, to amend the Company’s Compensation Policy, as detailed in Proposal No. 4 of the Proxy Statement.”

 

The approval of this proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority.

 

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the above proposal.

PROPOSAL ‎5

 

TO APPOINT MR. HAIM SIBONI INTO A COMBINED ROLE AS THE COMPANY’S CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND TO APPROVE THE TERMS OF HIS COMPENSATION

 

The office of Mr. Michael Gally, director and chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, will, at his request, terminate at the end of the Meeting. Mr. Gally has notified the Company of his intention to not stand for re-election to the Board. Mr. Haim Siboni has served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer since January 2016.

 

Pursuant to Section 121(c) of the Companies Law, the appointment of a person to the combined role of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is required to be approved by the Company’s shareholders by a Special Majority, and can be made for a period of up to three years each. Therefore, and pursuant to the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company approving same, it is proposed to appoint Mr. Siboni, for the combined role of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Combined Role”) for a period of three years, commencing on the date of the Meeting.

 

Pursuant to Mr. Siboni’s current services agreement (through a wholly owned corporation of Mr. Siboni), which was extended by the Company’s shareholders on January 28, 2019 for a period of three years (the “Services Agreement”), Mr. Siboni is entitled to a monthly consideration of NIS 65,000 (approximately $20,000), plus VAT. In addition, the Company shall bear travel and other expenses that are incurred for the purpose of the performance of Mr. Siboni duties.

 

Under the Services Agreement, Mr. Siboni shall personally provide the services of a chief executive officer to the Company, Foresight Automotive Ltd. and Eye-Net Mobile Ltd., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Services” and Subsidiaries”, respectively). The Services will include general roles of a chief executive officer, as requested by the Board of Directors from time to time. Mr. Siboni will render the Services faithfully and diligently for the benefit of the Company and the Subsidiaries, with at least 80% of his working time devoted for the performance of the Services.

 

It is proposed, following the approval of the Committee and Board of Directors of the Company, to increase Mr. Siboni’s monthly consideration to NIS 80,000 (approximately $25,000), plus VAT (against the same scope of the Services), for a period of three years commencing on the date of the Meeting (the “Increased Monthly Consideration”). In the event that the Board of Directors determines to increase the scope of the Services, the Increased Monthly Consideration will be increased proportionally. Except as described above, all other terms and conditions of the Services Agreement shall remain unchanged. Mr. Siboni will not be entitled to additional compensation for his appointment as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, if so appointed.

 

Pursuant to the Companies Law, all Israeli public companies, including Dual Companies, such as the Company, are required to approve transactions with their controlling shareholders by its audit or compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders (in that order). Although the statutory presumptions of ‘a controlling shareholder’ set forth in the Companies Law does not apply to Mr. Siboni, nevertheless, for the sake of good order, and taking into consideration that Mr. Siboni, through Magna, was a controlling shareholder on the date on which the Services Agreement was originally approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company considers this transaction as a transaction with a controlling shareholder and therefore submits the payment of the Increased Monthly Consideration also to approval of the Company’s shareholders by Special Majority.

 

In making its recommendation to the Company’s shareholders with respect to the Increased Monthly Consideration, the Committee and the Board of Directors each considered various factors, including, among others: (a) a direct linkage between Mr. Siboni compensation and the Company’s success, which compensation reflects a fair and reasonable value for his vital services and is considered customary for such positions in companies of similar scopes of activities, inter alia, based on the Benchmark 1; and (b) Mr. Siboni’s position, responsibilities and previous compensation arrangements, including Mr. Siboni’s contemplated appointment to the Combined Role.

 

The Committee and Board of Directors found the Increased Monthly Consideration reasonable under the circumstances, under market conditions, and that the approval thereof is in the best interests of the Company and is in accordance with the Company’s Compensation Policy.

 

The Company’s shareholders are requested to adopt the following resolutions:

 

1. RESOLVED, to appoint Mr. Haim Siboni for the Combined Role of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for a period of three years commencing on the date of the Meeting.

 

2. RESOLVED, to increase Mr. Haim Siboni’s monthly consideration, as set forth in Proposal no. 5 of the Proxy Statement, for a period of three years commencing on the date of the Meeting.

 

The approval of this proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority (as defined in this proxy statement).

 

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the above proposals. 

 

 
1Mr. Siboni’s current monthly (fixed) consideration (in terms of cost to the Company) constitutes approximately 2% of the average monthly (fixed) consideration of chief executive officers of the companies included in the Benchmark; Mr. Siboni’s total consideration (in terms of cost to the Company) constitutes approximately 8% of the total average consideration of the chief executive officers of the companies included in the Benchmark (in terms of costs to the company, based on a full-time position).
