To the Shareholders of SatixFy Communications Ltd.:

You are cordially invited to attend the Special General Meeting of Shareholders of SatixFy Communications Ltd. (the “Company”) to be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Israel time at the offices of Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co., One Azrieli Center, 40th floor, Tel Aviv, Israel, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Special Meeting”).

On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, MDA Space Ltd., an Ontario corporation (“MDA Space”), MANTISRAEL OPERATIONS 1 LTD. (“Merger Sub 1”), an Israeli company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space, and MANTISRAEL OPERATIONS 2 LTD. (“Merger Sub 2”, and collectively with Merger Sub 1, the “Merger Subs”), an Israeli company wholly owned by Merger Sub 1 and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into the Company, with the Company, as the surviving entity, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub 1 (the “First Merger”). Merger Sub 1 will then immediately merge with and into the Company, with the Company, again as the surviving entity, becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space (the “Second Merger”, and collectively with the First Merger, the “Merger”).

At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to approve: (i) the Merger; (ii) the Merger Agreement; (iii) the consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Merger, consisting of cash in the amount of $2.10 (without interest) for each ordinary share, no par value per share, of the Company (each, an “Ordinary Share”) held immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”), subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (iv) the acceleration of any outstanding options to acquire Ordinary Shares that are “in-the-money” and any outstanding restricted share units, whether or not then vested or exercisable, and the conversion of such equity awards into the right to receive a lump-sum cash payment, subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (v) the purchase of a liability insurance policy providing coverage to the Company’s directors and officers for a period of seven years commencing at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; and (vi) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement  (items (i) through (vi), collectively referred to as the “Merger Proposal”). At the Special Meeting, you will also be asked to approve any proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, including if necessary or appropriate in order to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the Merger Proposal at the time of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

A special committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) comprised of three independent directors, the Company’s audit committee and the Board, after considering the factors more fully described in the enclosed proxy statement, have each: (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders; (ii) adopted and approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) determined that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, and assuming, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of MDA Space and the Merger Subs in the Merger Agreement, no reasonable concern exists that, as a result of the Merger, the Company, as the surviving company, will be unable to fulfill its obligations to its creditors as a result of the Merger; and (iv) determined to recommend to the shareholders the approval of the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Merger and approval of all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Board (excluding directors who may be deemed to have a personal interest (as defined under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Companies Law”)) in the Merger Proposal) unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, as described in the accompanying proxy statement.


Under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association and the Companies Law, the approval of each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (not taking into consideration abstentions or broker non-votes), excluding, in the case of the Merger Proposal, any Ordinary Shares that are held by (i) MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; (ii) a person holding, directly or indirectly, either (a) 25% or more of the voting rights of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, or (b) the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; or (iii) one of such person’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants, siblings, or parents, or the spouse of any such person, or a corporation controlled by any one or more of such persons or by MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 (the “Ordinary Majority”). In addition to the foregoing Ordinary Majority requirement, approval of the Merger Proposal is also subject to the requirement that either (A) the Ordinary Shares voting in favor of the Merger Proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted by shareholders who are neither the Company’s controlling shareholders nor shareholders who have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal, or (B) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by non-controlling shareholders or anyone acting on their behalf and by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal that voted against the Merger Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Your vote is very important regardless of the number of Ordinary Shares that you own. To ensure your representation at the Special Meeting, if you are a holder of record of Ordinary Shares please complete and return the enclosed proxy card or vote online using the instructions on the proxy card, or, if you hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker or other nominee, by completing and returning the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker or other nominee. Please vote promptly whether or not you expect to attend the Special Meeting. Submitting a proxy or voting instruction form will not prevent you from being able to vote at the Special Meeting.

The accompanying proxy statement provides you with detailed information about the Merger, the Merger Agreement and other matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. You are encouraged to read the proxy statement carefully. In particular, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of the proxy statement.

The Board (excluding directors who may be deemed to have a personal interest (as defined under the Companies Law) in the Merger Proposal) unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Board Recommendation 

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS (THE “BOARD”) (EXCLUDING THOSE DIRECTORS WHO MAY BE DEEMED TO HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST (AS DEFINED UNDER THE COMPANIES LAW) IN THE MERGER PROPOSAL), UPON THE RECOMMENDATION OF A SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD COMPRISED SOLELY OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL AND THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

Record Date

Shareholders of record at the close of business on April 14, 2025 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to be provided with notice of and vote at the Special Meeting either in person or by appointing a proxy to vote in their stead at the Special Meeting.

Vote Required for Approval of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal

Under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association and the Companies Law, the approval of each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (not taking into consideration abstentions or broker non-votes), excluding, in the case of the Merger Proposal, any Ordinary Shares that are held by (i) MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; (ii) a person holding, directly or indirectly, either (a) 25% or more of the voting rights of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, or (b) the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; or (iii) one of such person’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants, siblings, or parents, or the spouse of any such person, or a corporation controlled by any one or more of such persons or by MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 (the “Ordinary Majority”). In addition to the foregoing Ordinary Majority requirement, approval of the Merger Proposal is also subject to the requirement that either (A) the Ordinary Shares voting in favor of the Merger Proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted by shareholders who are neither the Company’s controlling shareholders nor shareholders who have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal, or (B) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by non-controlling shareholders or anyone acting on their behalf and by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal that voted against the Merger Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company (the “Special Majority”).

Any controlling shareholder and any shareholder that has a personal interest is qualified to participate in the vote on the Merger Proposal and such vote will be counted towards the Ordinary Majority; however, the vote of such shareholders will not be counted towards the Special Majority.
 
Every shareholder voting on the Merger Proposal is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest in approval of the Merger Proposal. Accordingly, every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card, voting instruction form or online using the instructions on the enclosed proxy card will be deemed to confirm to the Company that such shareholder is NOT a controlling shareholder and does NOT have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal. If you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, please notify the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, Reut Tevet, at +972-8-939-3200 or via email at reut.tevet@satixfy.com. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in approval of the proposal, you should notify your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
 
In light of personal interests of certain members of the Board, certain officers of the Company and certain shareholders of the Company described in the accompanying proxy statement, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, the Merger Proposal was approved by the audit committee of the Board prior to being approved by the Board, which acted in accordance with the recommendation of a special independent committee appointed by the Board comprised of three independent directors: Mary P. Cotton, Moshe Eisenberg and Yair Shamir. Certain compensation arrangements relating to the Merger Proposal, as described in the accompanying proxy statement and the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A, were also approved by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and will be voted upon as part of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, it is important that your Ordinary Shares be represented at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, you are kindly requested to complete and sign the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form or vote online using the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect your right to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, and any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised.
- ii -


If your Ordinary Shares are registered directly in your name (or in the name of a trustee on your behalf) with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, of New York, N.Y., you are considered, with respect to those Ordinary Shares, to be the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you (or to such trustee). As the shareholder of record, you have the right to use the proxy card included with the attached proxy statement to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company, or to vote in person at the Special Meeting. Except as otherwise indicated on the form of proxy card, we will not be able to count a proxy card unless we receive it at our principal executive offices at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315, Israel, or our transfer agent receives it in the envelope that will be provided, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting, or such shorter period prior to the Special Meeting as the Chairman of the Special Meeting may determine.
 
If your Ordinary Shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee that is a shareholder of record of the Company or which appears in the participant list of a securities depository, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner with respect to those Ordinary Shares. A beneficial owner as of the Record Date has the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote Ordinary Shares held by such beneficial owner at the Special Meeting and must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certification of incorporation, as the case may be. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those Ordinary Shares, as the shareholder of record, together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your Ordinary Shares. Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those Ordinary Shares directly at the Special Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your Ordinary Shares directly, giving you the right to vote the Ordinary Shares at the Special Meeting and an account statement showing that they held the Ordinary Shares in their account as of the Record Date. Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in street name may be able to utilize the control number appearing on their voting instruction form to submit their voting instruction to their brokers, trustees or nominees by other means, if so indicated on their voting instruction form. All votes should be submitted by 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting (or such earlier deadline as may be indicated on the voting instruction form) in order to be counted towards the tally of Ordinary Shares voted at the Special Meeting (unless the Chairman of the Special Meeting extends that deadline).

If you provide specific instructions (by marking a box) with respect to the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, your Ordinary Shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions with respect to the Merger Proposal and/or the Adjournment Proposal, your Ordinary Shares will be voted in favor of such proposal(s), in accordance with the recommendation of the Board. However, if you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares and do not specify how you want to vote on your voting instruction form, your broker may not exercise their voting discretion, with respect to the matter that is on the agenda for the Special Meeting, and a “broker non-vote” occurs with respect to such uninstructed Ordinary Shares. In that circumstance, the Ordinary Shares held by you will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Special Meeting but are not considered “present” for the purpose of voting on the relevant proposal. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds Ordinary Shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its Ordinary Shares, if the shareholder wants its Ordinary Shares to count for the proposal. In all cases, you must remember to contact the Company (or your broker, bank or other nominee if you hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name”) if you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form, the persons named as proxies will vote in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the Special Meeting.

SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CAREFULLY READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AS WELL AS ANY RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FURNISHED TO OR FILED BY THE COMPANY WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGER. Shareholders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and any other documents filed or furnished by the Company to the SEC (when available), at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Copies of documents furnished or filed by the Company may also be obtained for free at the Company’s investor relations website, ir.satixfy.com/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx. The contents of the Company’s website are not deemed to be incorporated by reference into this notice or the proxy statement.

Under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the “Articles”) and the provisions of the Companies Law, the quorum required for the Special Meeting for approval of the Merger Proposal is at least two or more shareholders who are present, in person or by proxy or represented by their authorized persons, and who hold or represent in the aggregate 33-1/3% or more of the voting rights of the Company. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” any matter, although they will be counted as present in determining whether a quorum is present. Should no legal quorum be present within half an hour from the time appointed for the holding of the Special Meeting, the Special Meeting shall stand adjourned to Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Israel time at the same place, or to such other day, time and place as the Board may indicate in a notice to our shareholders. At such adjourned meeting any number of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the business for which the original Special Meeting was called.

 Vote Required for Approval of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal
 
Under the Articles and the Companies Law, the approval of each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (not taking into consideration abstentions or broker non-votes), excluding, in the case of Merger Proposal, any Ordinary Shares that are held by (i) MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; (ii) a person holding, directly or indirectly, either (a) 25% or more of the voting rights of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, or (b) the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; or (iii) one of such person’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants, siblings, or parents, or the spouse of any such person, or a corporation controlled by any one or more of such persons or by MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 (the “Ordinary Majority”). In addition to the foregoing Ordinary Majority requirement, approval of the Merger Proposal is also subject to the requirement that either (A) the Ordinary Shares voting in favor of the Merger Proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted by shareholders who are neither the Company’s controlling shareholders nor shareholders who have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal, or (B) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by non-controlling shareholders or anyone acting on their behalf and by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal that voted against the Merger Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company (the “Special Majority”), and together with the Ordinary Majority, the “Requisite Shareholder Approval”).

ii

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 other office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by itself or together with others, one-half (i.e., 50%) or more of any one of the “means of control” of the Company or, if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights of the Company, any shareholder that holds 25% or more of the voting rights of the Company. For purposes of holdings, two or more shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the same transaction are deemed to be joint holders. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the Company or its chief executive officer. A “personal interest” of a shareholder is: (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 serves 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 Ordinary Shares in the Company. See also the section entitled “The Special Meeting – Vote Required for Approval of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal” beginning on page 27.

A controlling shareholder and a shareholder that has a personal interest are qualified to participate in the vote on the Merger Proposal and such vote will be counted towards the Ordinary Majority; however, the vote of such shareholders will not be counted towards the Special Majority.
 
Every shareholder voting on the Merger Proposal is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest in approval of the Merger Proposal. Accordingly, every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card, voting instruction form or online using the instructions on the enclosed proxy card will be deemed to confirm to the Company that such shareholder is NOT a controlling shareholder and does NOT have a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal. If you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, please notify the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, Reut Tevet, at +972-8-939-3200 or via email at reut.tevet@satixfy.com. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, you should notify your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
 
In light of personal interests of certain members of the Board, certain officers of the Company and certain shareholders of the Company described in this Proxy Statement (as described in the section entitled “The Merger - Interests Of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal” beginning on page 53), in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, the Merger Proposal was approved by the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) prior to being approved by the Board, which acted in accordance with the recommendation of a special independent committee appointed by the Board (the “Special Committee”) comprised of three independent directors: Mary Cotton, Moshe Eisenberg and Yair Shamir. Certain compensation arrangements relating to the Merger Proposal, as described in this Proxy Statement and the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A, were also approved by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and will be voted upon as part of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting.

Accordingly, you are kindly requested to complete and sign the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form or vote online using the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect your right to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, and any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised.

If your Ordinary Shares are registered directly in your name (or in the name of a trustee on your behalf) with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, of New York, N.Y., you are considered, with respect to those Ordinary Shares, to be the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you (or to such trustee). As the shareholder of record, you have the right to use the proxy card included with this Proxy Statement to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company, or to vote in person at the Special Meeting. Except as otherwise indicated on the form of proxy card, we will not be able to count a proxy card unless we receive it at our principal executive offices at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315, Israel, or our transfer agent receives it in the envelope that will be provided, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting, or such shorter period prior to the Special Meeting as the Chairman of the Special Meeting may determine.
 
If your Ordinary Shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee that is a shareholder of record of the Company or which appears in the participant list of a securities depository, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner with respect to those Ordinary Shares. A beneficial owner as of the Record Date has the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote Ordinary Shares held by such beneficial owner at the Special Meeting and must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certification of incorporation, as the case may be. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those Ordinary Shares, as the shareholder of record, together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your Ordinary Shares. Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those Ordinary Shares directly at the Special Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your Ordinary Shares directly, giving you the right to vote the Ordinary Shares at the Special Meeting and an account statement showing that they held the Ordinary Shares in their account as of the Record Date. Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in street name may be able to utilize the control number appearing on their voting instruction form to submit their voting instruction to their brokers, trustees or nominees by other means, if so indicated on their voting instruction form. All votes should be submitted by 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting (or such earlier deadline as may be indicated on the voting instruction form) in order to be counted towards the tally of Ordinary Shares voted at the Special Meeting (unless the Chairman of the Special Meeting extends that deadline).

If you provide specific instructions (by marking a box) with respect to the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, your Ordinary Shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions with respect to the Merger Proposal and/or the Adjournment Proposal, your Ordinary Shares will be voted in favor of such proposal(s) in accordance with the recommendation of the Board. However, if you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares and do not specify how you want to vote on your voting instruction form, your broker may not exercise their voting discretion with respect to the matter that is on the agenda for the Special Meeting, and a “broker non-vote” occurs with respect to such uninstructed Ordinary Shares. In that circumstance, the Ordinary Shares held by you will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Special Meeting but are not considered “present” for the purpose of voting on the relevant proposal. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds Ordinary Shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its Ordinary Shares, if the shareholder wants its Ordinary Shares to count for the proposal. In all cases, you must remember to contact the Company (or your broker, bank or other nominee if you hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name”) if you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form, the persons named as proxies will vote in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the Special Meeting. 
iv

Who Can Vote
 
You are entitled to receive notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting if you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date. You are also entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and, in accordance with the instructions described above in the section entitled “How You Can Vote”, to vote at the Special 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 the Record Date (being April 14, 2025), or which appear in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date.
  
Position Statements

Shareholders wishing to express their position on an agenda item for the Special Meeting may do so by submitting a written statement (a “Position Statement”) to the Company’s offices, c/o Ms. Reut Tevet, the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315 Israel, or via email at reut.tevet@satixfy.com, by no later than Sunday, May 11, 2025. Any Position Statement received that is in accordance with the guidelines set by the Companies Law will be furnished to the SEC on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Revocation of a Proxy
 
If you are a shareholder of record of the Company, any proxy that you give pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by you at any time before it is voted. Proxies may be revoked in one of three ways:

 
you can send a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy, which notice must be received in our offices at any time prior to the deadline for submitting a proxy card;
 
you can complete and submit a new proxy card dated later than the first proxy card, which must be received no later than the deadline applicable to a notice of revocation, as described above; or
 
you can attend the Special Meeting and file a written notice of revocation or make an oral notice of revocation of your proxy with the chairperson of the Special Meeting and then vote in person. Your attendance at the Special Meeting will not revoke your proxy in and of itself.

Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy submitted to the Company in advance of the Special Meeting should be delivered to the Company’s principal executive offices c/o Ms. Reut Tevet, the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315 Israel, or hand delivered to the Chairman of the Special Meeting at or before the taking of the vote at the Special Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner and hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions regarding how to change your vote.

Solicitation of Proxies
 
Proxies are being distributed by the Company to shareholders on or about April 15, 2025. We will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing, and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares.

In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies for the Special Meeting from our shareholders personally or by telephone, facsimile and other electronic means without compensation other than reimbursement for their actual expenses. Arrangements also will be made with bankers, brokers and other nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares held of record by those persons, and we will, if requested, reimburse the record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing.

We have engaged Kingsdale Shareholder Services US LLC (“Kingsdale Advisors”) to assist in soliciting proxies on our behalf. Kingsdale Advisors may solicit proxies personally, electronically or by telephone. We have agreed to pay Kingsdale Advisors a fee of $20,000 and reimburse them for certain out-of-pocket disbursements and expenses. We have also agreed to indemnify Kingsdale Advisors and its employees against certain liabilities arising from or in connection with the engagement. 
 
Voting Results
 
The overall results of the Special Meeting will be published following the Special Meeting in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that will be furnished to the SEC.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE SPECIAL MEETING

The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address certain commonly asked questions regarding the Merger and the Special Meeting.  These questions and answers may not address all the questions that may be important to you as a shareholder of the Company. Please refer to the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Summary” and more detailed information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, the annexes attached to this Proxy Statement and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement, which you are urged to read carefully and in their entirety. See the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 85.
 
Q:
Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?
 
A:
The Company entered into the Merger Agreement with MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 pursuant to which MDA Space will acquire the Company through the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub 1, and Merger Sub 1 then immediately merging with and into the Company. As a result, the Company again will be the surviving entity and it will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space. To consummate the proposed Merger, the Company’s shareholders must approve the Merger Proposal, and we are holding the Special Meeting to obtain such shareholder approval. We have included in this Proxy Statement important information about the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Special Meeting. You should read this information carefully and in its entirety. We have attached a copy of the Merger Agreement as Annex A to this Proxy Statement. Your vote is very important regardless of the number of Ordinary Shares that you own. To ensure your representation at the Special Meeting, if you are a record holder of Ordinary Shares please complete and return the enclosed proxy card or vote online using the instructions on the proxy card, or, if you hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker or other nominee, by completing and returning the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker or other nominee.
 
Q:
What is the recommendation of the Board?
     
A:
The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee (comprised of independent directors) and following approval of the Audit Committee: (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders; (ii) adopted and approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) determined that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, and assuming, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of MDA Space and the Merger Subs in the Merger Agreement, no reasonable concern exists that, as a result of the Merger, the Company, as the surviving company, will be unable to fulfill its obligations to its creditors as a result of the Merger; and (iv) determined to recommend to the shareholders the approval of the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Merger and approval of all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The directors who may be deemed to have a personal interest (as defined under the Companies Law) in the Merger Proposal did not participate in the vote for adopting the foregoing resolutions.

The Audit Committee and the Board (excluding directors who may be deemed to have a personal interest (as defined in the Companies Law) in the Merger Proposal), upon the recommendation of the Special Committee comprised solely of independent directors, unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:
When and where will the Special Meeting be held?
 
A:
The Special Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Israel time at the offices of Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co., One Azrieli Center, 40th floor, Tel Aviv, Israel, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof.
       
Q:
Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?
 
A:
You are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting if you owned Ordinary Shares at the close of business on April 14, 2025, the Record Date for the Special Meeting. As of March 31, 2025, there were 86,849,556 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote on each of the matters to be presented at the Special Meeting.
 
Q:
What is the quorum requirement for the Special Meeting?
 
A:
The quorum required for the Special Meeting for approval of each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is at least two or more shareholders who are present, in person or by proxy or represented by their authorized persons, and who hold or represent in the aggregate 33-1/3% or more of the voting rights of the Company. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” any matter, although they will be counted as present in determining whether a quorum is present. Should no legal quorum be present within half an hour from the time appointed for the holding of the Special Meeting, the Special Meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place, or to such other day, time and place as the Board may indicate in a notice to our shareholders. At such adjourned meeting any number of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the business for which the original Special Meeting was called.
 
Q:
What matters will be voted on at the Special Meeting?
 
A:
The Special Meeting is being held for the purpose of considering and voting on the proposal to approve the “Merger Proposal”, which includes approval of: (i) the Merger; (ii) the Merger Agreement; (iii) the Merger Consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Merger; (iv) the acceleration of any outstanding options to acquire Ordinary Shares that are “in-the-money” and any outstanding RSUs, whether or not then vested or exercisable, and the conversion of such equity awards into the right to receive a lump-sum cash payment, subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (v) the purchase of a liability insurance policy providing coverage to the Company’s directors and officers for a period of seven years commencing at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; and (vi) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by or ancillary to the Merger Agreement. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal. The Special Meeting is also being held for the purpose of considering and voting on the proposal to approve the Adjournment Proposal. Shareholders will also be asked to consider and, as applicable, vote upon, any other business that may properly come before the Special Meeting. The Company currently does not contemplate that any other matters will be considered at the Special Meeting.
 
Q:
What vote is required for approval of each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal?
 
A:
Under the Articles and the Companies Law, the approval of each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (not taking into consideration abstentions or broker non-votes), excluding, in the case of the Merger Proposal, any Ordinary Shares that are held by (i) MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; (ii) a person holding, directly or indirectly, either (a) 25% or more of the voting rights of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, or (b) the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; or (iii) one of such person’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants, siblings, or parents, or the spouse of any such person, or a corporation controlled by any one or more of such persons or by MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2. In addition to the foregoing Ordinary Majority requirement, approval of the Merger Proposal is also subject to the requirement that either (A) the Ordinary Shares voting in favor of the Merger Proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted by shareholders who are neither the Company’s controlling shareholders nor shareholders who have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal, or (B) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by non-controlling shareholders or anyone acting on their behalf and by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal that voted against the Merger Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Every shareholder voting on the Merger Proposal is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest in approval of the Merger Proposal. Accordingly, every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card, voting instruction form or online using the instructions on the enclosed proxy card will be deemed to confirm to the Company that such shareholder is NOT a controlling shareholder and does NOT have a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal. If you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, please notify the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, Reut Tevet, at +972-8-939-3200 or via email at reut.tevet@satixfy.com. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, you should notify your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.

Q:
What will I receive in the Merger if it is completed?
 
A:
As a result of the Merger, our shareholders will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in the First Merger consisting of cash in the amount of $2.10 (without interest) for each Ordinary Share held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
 
Q:
When do you expect the Merger to be completed?
 
A:
We are working towards completing the Merger as quickly as reasonably possible and expect to complete it during the third quarter of 2025. However, several conditions must be satisfied or waived before the Merger is completed. See the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 79 for a summary description of these conditions. Because the Merger is subject to receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals and other conditions, some of which are beyond the parties’ control, the exact timing for the completion of the Merger cannot be predicted with certainty.
 
Q:
Am I entitled to appraisal rights?
 
A:
No. Under Israeli law, holders of Ordinary Shares are not entitled to appraisal rights or similar rights of dissenters in connection with the Merger.
 
Q:
How do I vote?
 
A:
Any shareholder of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting may vote in person by attending the Special Meeting or by submitting the enclosed proxy card. If your Ordinary Shares are registered directly in your name (or in the name of a trustee on your behalf) with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, of New York, N.Y., you are considered, with respect to those Ordinary Shares, to be the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you (or to such trustee). As the shareholder of record, you have the right to use the proxy card included with this Proxy Statement to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company, or to vote in person at the Special Meeting. Except as otherwise indicated on the form of proxy card, we will not be able to count a proxy card unless we receive it at our principal executive offices at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315, Israel, or our transfer agent receives it in the envelope that will be provided, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting, or such shorter period prior to the Special Meeting as the Chairman of the Special Meeting may determine.

If your Ordinary Shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee that is a shareholder of record of the Company or which appears in the participant list of a securities depository, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner with respect to those Ordinary Shares. A beneficial owner as of the Record Date has the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote Ordinary Shares held by such beneficial owner at the Special Meeting and must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certification of incorporation, as the case may be. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those Ordinary Shares, as the shareholder of record, together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your Ordinary Shares. Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those Ordinary Shares directly at the Special Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your Ordinary Shares directly, giving you the right to vote the Ordinary Shares at the Special Meeting and an account statement showing that they held the Ordinary Shares in their account as of the Record Date. Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in street name may be able to utilize the control number appearing on their voting instruction form to submit their voting instruction to their brokers, trustees or nominees by other means, if so indicated on their voting instruction form. All votes should be submitted by 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting (or such earlier deadline as may be indicated on the voting instruction form) in order to be counted towards the tally of Ordinary Shares voted at the Special Meeting (unless the Chairman of the Special Meeting extends that deadline).

Q:
Can I change my vote after I have signed and returned my proxy card or voting instruction form?

A:
Yes. If you are a shareholder of record of the Company, any proxy that you give pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by you at any time before it is voted. Proxies may be revoked in one of three ways:
 

you can send a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy, which notice must be received in our offices at any time prior to the deadline for submitting a proxy card;

you can complete and submit a new proxy card dated later than the first proxy card, which must be received no later than the deadline applicable to a notice of revocation, as described above; or

you can attend the Special Meeting and file a written notice of revocation or make an oral notice of revocation of your proxy with the chairperson of the Special Meeting and then vote in person. Your attendance at the Special Meeting will not revoke your proxy in and of itself.


Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy submitted to the Company in advance of the Special Meeting should be delivered to the Company’s principal executive offices c/o Ms. Reut Tevet, the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315 Israel, or hand delivered to the Chairman of the Special Meeting at or before the taking of the vote at the Special Meeting.
 
If you are a beneficial owner and hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions regarding how to change your vote.

Q:
What happens if I do not indicate how to vote on the proxy card or voting instruction form?
 
A:
If you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions with respect to any proposal, your Ordinary Shares will be voted in favor of each proposal, in accordance with the recommendation of the Board. However, if you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares and do not specify how you want to vote on your voting instruction form, your broker may not exercise its voting discretion with respect to either the Merger Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, and a “broker non-vote” occurs with respect to such uninstructed Ordinary Shares. In that circumstance, the Ordinary Shares held by you will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Special Meeting but are not considered “present” for the purpose of voting on the relevant proposal. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds Ordinary Shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its Ordinary Shares, if the shareholder wants its Ordinary Shares to count for the proposal. In all cases, you must remember to contact the Company (or your broker, bank or other nominee if you hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name”) if you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form, the persons named as proxies will vote in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the Special Meeting.
 
Q:
If I purchased my Ordinary Shares after the Record Date, may I vote these Ordinary Shares at the Special Meeting?
 
A:
No. A shareholder is not entitled to vote Ordinary Shares purchased after the Record Date because the shareholder was not the record holder of those Ordinary Shares on the Record Date. Only the holder as of the Record Date may vote Ordinary Shares. However, such shareholder’s Ordinary Shares will be automatically converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.
 
Q:
What happens if I sell my Ordinary Shares before the Special Meeting?
 
A:
The Record Date for the Special Meeting is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting and the date that the Merger is expected to be completed. If you transfer your Ordinary Shares after the Record Date but before the Special Meeting, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting but will have transferred the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to such Ordinary Shares. In order to receive the Merger Consideration, you must hold your Ordinary Shares through the Effective Time.
 
Q:
What will happen to outstanding Company equity awards and warrants?
 
A:
Each unexercised “in-the-money” option to acquire Ordinary Shares that is outstanding under any of the Company’s stock equity plans, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will, by virtue of the First Merger, be converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (without interest) equal to the product of  (a) the excess of  $2.10 over the exercise price per Ordinary Share for such option, and (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares underlying such option, less applicable withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

Each unexercised “out of the money” option to acquire Ordinary Shares, whether or not vested or exercisable, shall, by virtue of the First Merger, be cancelled for no consideration.
 
Additionally, each Ordinary Share that is outstanding under any of the Company’s stock equity plans subject to vesting, repurchase, or other lapse of restrictions (including any RSUs) will, by virtue of the First Merger, vest in full and become free of restrictions and will be treated as an Ordinary Share that will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $2.10, less applicable withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

Finally, each warrant to acquire Ordinary Shares (each, a “Warrant”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain outstanding such that following the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of such Warrant and automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an entitlement to receive Ordinary Shares on the exercise thereof and will become a Warrant exercisable for Merger Consideration such that each holder of the Warrants will have the right, upon exercise thereof, to receive from the Company, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the applicable Warrant and in lieu of the Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the amount of cash receivable upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the First Merger, that such holder of the Warrant would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Q:
What happens if the Merger is not completed?
 
A:
If the Merger Proposal is not approved by our shareholders or if the Merger is not completed for any other reason, our shareholders will not receive any Merger Consideration for their Ordinary Shares. Instead, we will remain a public company, and the Ordinary Shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE American LLC and our Warrants will continue to be traded on the over-the-counter market. Under certain circumstances related to the termination of the Merger Agreement, as specified therein, each of MDA Space or we may be required to pay the other party a termination fee. See the section entitled “The Merger— Effect on the Company if the Merger is Not Completed” beginning on page 32 below for a summary description of these circumstances.
 
Q:
Do the Company’s directors and executive officers and directors have any interests in the Merger Proposal?
 
A:
Yes. In considering the recommendation of the Board with respect to the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that our directors and executive officers have interests in the Merger Proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders in general. For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger – Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal” beginning on page 53 below.
 
Q:
Should I send in my share certificates now?
 
A:
No, please do not send the share certificates representing your Ordinary Shares with your proxy card or voting instruction form. After the Merger is completed, the paying agent selected by the parties will send you a letter of transmittal with detailed instructions regarding the surrender of the share certificates representing your Ordinary Shares for the Merger Consideration.
 
Q:
Will the Merger Consideration payable to me be subject to Israeli capital gains tax?
   
A:
Yes, the Merger Consideration will be subject to Israeli capital gains tax. For more information, see the section entitled “Material Israeli Tax Consequences of the Merger - Israeli Capital Gains Tax” beginning on page 63 below.
 
Q:
Will the Merger Consideration payable to me be subject to Israeli tax withholding?
 
A:
Yes, the Merger Consideration will be subject to Israeli tax withholding. For more information, see the section entitled “Material Israeli Tax Consequences of the Merger - Israel Tax Withholding” beginning on page 64 below.
 
Q:

The Merger (Page 32)

On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement, by and among the Company, MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the First Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into the Company, with the Company, as the surviving entity, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub 1. In the Second Merger, Merger Sub 1 will then immediately merge with and into the Company, with the Company, again as the surviving entity, becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space.

As a result of the Merger, our shareholders will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in the First Merger consisting of cash in the amount of $2.10 (without interest) for each Ordinary Share held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Treatment of Company Equity Awards and Warrants (Page 69)

Each unexercised “in-the-money” option to acquire Ordinary Shares that is outstanding under any of the Company’s stock equity plans, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will, by virtue of the First Merger, be converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (without interest) equal to the product of  (a) the excess of  $2.10 over the exercise price per Ordinary Share for such option, and (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares underlying such option, less applicable withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

Each unexercised “out -of -the -money” option to acquire Ordinary Shares, whether or not vested or exercisable, will, by virtue of the First Merger, be cancelled for no consideration.

Additionally, each Ordinary Share that is outstanding under any of the Company’s stock equity plans subject to vesting, repurchase, or other lapse of restrictions (including any RSUs)  will, by virtue of the First Merger, vest in full and become free of restrictions and will be treated as an Ordinary Share that will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $2.10 less applicable withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

Finally, each Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain outstanding such that following the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of such Warrant and automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an entitlement to receive Ordinary Shares on the exercise thereof and will become a Warrant exercisable for Merger Consideration such that each holder of the Warrants will have the right, upon exercise thereof, to purchase and receive from the Company, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the applicable Warrant and in lieu of the Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the amount of cash receivable upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the First Merger, that such holder of the Warrant would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

For additional details, see “The Merger Agreement - Treatment of Company Equity Awards and Warrants” beginning on page 69.

Purpose (Page 25)
 
The Special Meeting is being held for the purpose of considering and voting on the proposal to approve the “Merger Proposal”, which includes approval of: (i) the Merger; (ii) the Merger Agreement; (iii) the Merger Consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Merger; (iv) the acceleration of any outstanding options to acquire Ordinary Shares that are “in-the-money” and any outstanding RSUs, whether or not then vested or exercisable, and the conversion of such equity awards into the right to receive a lump-sum cash payment, subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (v) the purchase of a liability insurance policy providing coverage to the Company’s directors and officers for a period of seven years commencing at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; and (vi) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by or ancillary to the Merger Agreement. The Special Meeting is also being held for the purpose of considering and voting on the proposal to approve the Adjournment Proposal.

Shareholders will also be asked to consider and, as applicable, vote upon, any other business that may properly come before the Special Meeting. The Company currently does not contemplate that any other matters will be considered at the Special Meeting.

Record Date (Page 25) and Quorum Requirements (Page 26)
 
You are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting if you owned Ordinary Shares at the close of business on April 14, 2025, the Record Date for the Special Meeting. As of March 31, 2025, there were 86, 849,556 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote on each of the matters to be presented at the Special Meeting.

The quorum required for the Special Meeting for approval of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is at least two or more shareholders who are present, in person or by proxy or represented by their authorized persons, and who hold or represent in the aggregate 33-1/3% or more of the voting rights of the Company. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” any matter, although they will be counted as present in determining whether a quorum is present. Should no legal quorum be present within half an hour from the time appointed for the holding of the Special Meeting, the Special Meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place, or to such other day, time and place as the Board may indicate in a notice to our shareholders. At such adjourned meeting any number of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the business for which the original Special Meeting was called.
 
Vote Required for Approval of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (Page 27)

Under the Articles and the Companies Law, the approval of each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (not taking into consideration abstentions or broker non-votes), excluding, in the case of the Merger Proposal, any Ordinary Shares that are held by (i) MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; (ii) a person holding, directly or indirectly, either (a) 25% or more of the voting rights of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, or (b) the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; or (iii) one of such person’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants, siblings, or parents, or the spouse of any such person, or a corporation controlled by any one or more of such persons or by MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, which constitutes the Ordinary Majority. In addition to the Ordinary Majority requirement, approval the Merger Proposal is also subject to the requirement for a Special Majority, namely that either (A) the Ordinary Shares voting in favor of the Merger Proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted by shareholders who are neither the Company’s controlling shareholders nor shareholders who have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal, or (B) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by non-controlling shareholders or anyone acting on their behalf and by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal that voted against the Merger Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

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 other office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by itself or together with others, one-half (i.e., 50%) or more of any one of the “means of control” of the Company or, if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights of the Company, any shareholder that holds 25% or more of the voting rights of the Company. For purposes of holdings, two or more shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the same transaction are deemed to be joint holders. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the Company or its chief executive officer. A “personal interest” of a shareholder is: (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 serves 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 Ordinary Shares in the Company.

A controlling shareholder and any shareholder that has a personal interest are qualified to participate in the vote on the Merger Proposal and such vote will be counted towards the Ordinary Majority, however the vote of such shareholders will not be counted towards the Special Majority.

Every shareholder voting on the Merger Proposal is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal. Accordingly, every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card, voting instruction form or online using the instructions on the enclosed proxy card will be deemed to confirm to the Company that such shareholder is NOT a controlling shareholder and does NOT have a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal. If you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in approval of the proposal, please notify the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, Reut Tevet, at +972-8-939-3200 or via email at reut.tevet@satixfy.com. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, you should notify your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.

Voting and Proxies (Page 26)
 
You are entitled to receive notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting if you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date.

Any shareholder of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting may vote in person by attending the Special Meeting or by submitting the enclosed proxy card. If your Ordinary Shares are registered directly in your name (or in the name of a trustee on your behalf) with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, of New York, N.Y., you are considered, with respect to those Ordinary Shares, to be the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you (or to such trustee). As the shareholder of record, you have the right to use the proxy card included with this Proxy Statement to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company, or to vote in person at the Special Meeting. Except as otherwise indicated on the form of proxy card, we will not be able to count a proxy card unless we receive it at our principal executive offices at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315, Israel, or our transfer agent receives it in the envelope that will be provided, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting, or such shorter period prior to the Special Meeting as the Chairman of the Special Meeting may determine.

If your Ordinary Shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee that is a shareholder of record of the Company or which appears in the participant list of a securities depository, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner with respect to those Ordinary Shares. A beneficial owner as of the Record Date has the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote Ordinary Shares held by such beneficial owner at the Special Meeting and must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certification of incorporation, as the case may be. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those Ordinary Shares, as the shareholder of record, together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your Ordinary Shares. Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those Ordinary Shares directly at the Special Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your Ordinary Shares directly, giving you the right to vote the Ordinary Shares at the Special Meeting and an account statement showing that they held the Ordinary Shares in their account as of the Record Date. Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in street name may be able to utilize the control number appearing on their voting instruction form to submit their voting instruction to their brokers, trustees or nominees by other means, if so indicated on their voting instruction form. All votes should be submitted by 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting (or such earlier deadline as may be indicated on the voting instruction form) in order to be counted towards the tally of Ordinary Shares voted at the Special Meeting (unless the Chairman of the Special Meeting extends that deadline).

If you are a shareholder of record of the Company, any proxy that you give pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by you at any time before it is voted. Proxies may be revoked in one of three ways:

 
you can send a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy, which notice must be received in our offices at any time prior to the deadline for submitting a proxy card;
     
 
you can complete and submit a new proxy card dated later than the first proxy card, which must be received no later than the deadline applicable to a notice of revocation, as described above; or
     
 
you can attend the Special Meeting and file a written notice of revocation or make an oral notice of revocation of your proxy with the chairperson of the Special Meeting and then vote in person. Your attendance at the Special Meeting will not revoke your proxy in and of itself.

Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy submitted to the Company in advance of the Special Meeting should be delivered to the Company’s principal executive offices c/o Ms. Reut Tevet, the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315 Israel, or hand delivered to the Chairman of the Special Meeting at or before the taking of the vote at the Special Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner and hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions regarding how to change your vote.

Recommendation of the Board and Reasons for the Merger (Page 41)

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee and following approval of the Audit Committee: (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders; (ii) adopted and approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) determined that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, and assuming, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of MDA Space and the Merger Subs in the Merger Agreement, no reasonable concern exists that, as a result of the Merger, the Company, as the surviving company, will be unable to fulfill its obligations to its creditors as a result of the Merger; and (iv) determined to recommend to the shareholders the approval of the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Merger and approval of all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The directors who may be deemed to have a personal interest (as defined under the Companies Law) in the Merger Proposal did not participate in the vote for adopting the foregoing resolutions.

The Board (excluding directors who may be deemed to have a personal interest (as defined under the Companies Law) in the Merger Proposal) unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal.

   The Board considered many factors in making its determination that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommending that shareholders approve the Merger Agreement, Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  In evaluating the Merger, the Board consulted with management and the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors and, in arriving at its determination the Board considered a variety of factors weighing positively in favor of the Merger, as described under “The Merger - Recommendation of the Board and Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 41.

Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor (Page 47)
 
  The Company has engaged TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Cowen”) as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the Merger.  As part of this engagement, TD Cowen delivered an opinion to the Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Ordinary Shares (other than, as applicable, MDA Space, Merger Subs, and their respective affiliates) pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The full text of TD Cowen’s written opinion, dated April 1, 2025, which describes various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by TD Cowen, is attached as Annex B to this Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.  The summary of TD Cowen’s written opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.  TD Cowen’s analyses and opinion were prepared for and addressed to the Board and were directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration.  TD Cowen’s opinion did not in any manner address the Company’s underlying business decision to effect the Merger or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company. The Merger Consideration was determined through negotiations between the Company and MDA Space and TD Cowen’s opinion did not constitute a recommendation to the Board on whether or not to approve the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any securityholder or any other person as to how to vote or act with respect to the Merger or otherwise. For more information, see the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger –Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 47.

No Appraisal Rights (Page 55)
 
Under Israeli law, holders of Ordinary Shares are not entitled to appraisal rights or similar rights of dissenters in connection with the Merger. See the section entitled “The Merger - No Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 55.
 
Material Tax Consequences of the Merger (Page 60)
 
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger
 
The Merger Consideration to be received by the Company’s U.S. Holders (as defined below) in the First Merger, consisting of cash in the amount of $2.10 (without interest) for each Ordinary Share held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You should consult your tax advisor about the particular tax consequences of the Merger to you.  See the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger - Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 60.
 
Material Israeli Tax Consequences of the Merger
 
The receipt of cash in exchange for your Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be a taxable transaction for Israeli tax purposes, unless a specific exemption is available under Israeli tax law or unless a double taxation prevention treaty between Israel and your country of residence provides otherwise. If you are a non-Israeli resident, you may be eligible for an exemption from such Israeli tax. You should consult your tax advisor about the particular tax consequences of the Merger to you. See the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger - Material Israeli Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 63.
 
Regulatory Matters (Page 55)
 
The consummation of the Merger is conditioned on the receipt of regulatory approvals from each of the UK Investment Securities Unit for approval under the National Security and Investment Act 2021 of the United Kingdom and, if applicable at the time of the closing of the First Merger (the “Closing”), approval of a foreign direct investment under the Bulgarian Investment Promotion Act, as amended from time to time, by the Bulgarian Interdepartmental Council for the Screening of Foreign Direct Investments, on terms acceptable to MDA Space, acting reasonably and in good faith.

Under the Companies Law, the Company and the Merger Subs may not complete the Merger without first making the following filings and notifications to the Registrar of Companies of the State of Israel (the “Companies Registrar”): (i) the filing of a merger proposal by each of the Merger Subs and the Company with the Companies Registrar; (ii) notice of the filing of the merger proposals to secured creditors (which is inapplicable to the Merger Subs) and substantial creditors (which is inapplicable to the Merger Subs or the Company); (iii) notice to creditors through publication in newspapers; (iv) notice to workers; (v) notices to the Companies Registrar of notices to creditors by each of the Merger Subs and the Company; and (vi) notices to the Companies Registrar of the approval of the Merger by each of the merging companies’ shareholders. Under the Companies Law, the Merger cannot become effective until the later of the 50th day following the date of the filing of the merger proposals by both merging companies with the Companies Registrar and the 30th day following the date of receipt of shareholder approval of the Merger Proposal (the shareholders of the Merger Subs have approved the Merger Agreement).
 
Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal (Page 53)
 
In considering the recommendation of the Board with respect to the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that our directors and executive officers have interests in the Merger Proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders in general, including, among other things:
 

the vesting of Price Adjustment Shares issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement (each as defined, and described more fully, below) held, directly or indirectly, by the controlling shareholder, certain shareholders and certain members of the Board;


13

 
 

the acceleration of any outstanding options to acquire Ordinary Shares that are “in-the-money” and any outstanding RSUs, whether or not then vested or exercisable, and the conversion of such equity awards into the right to receive a lump-sum cash payment, subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, our directors and executive officers held RSUs that will be accelerated as described above and converted into the right to receive an aggregate amount equal to $3,405,156, subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes (all outstanding options to acquire Ordinary Shares that are “in-the-money” and are held by our directors and executive officers were fully vested as of March 31, 2025, and will not need to be accelerated); and
 

certain indemnification and insurance provisions provided in the Merger Agreement.
 
The Board was aware of these different or additional interests in determining to approve the Merger Proposal. Further, in determining to approve the Merger Proposal, the Board considered the approval of the Audit Committee and the recommendation of the Special Committee. Certain compensation arrangements relating to the Merger Proposal, as described in this Proxy Statement and the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A, were also approved by the Compensation Committee and will be voted upon as part of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting.
 
For additional details, see the section entitled “The Merger - Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal” beginning on page 53.
 
Voting Support Agreements (Page 56)
 
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain of our shareholders, directors and executive officers holding approximately 57%of our outstanding Ordinary Shares in the aggregate, have entered into Voting Support Agreements (as defined below) with MDA Space, pursuant to which they have, subject to the terms of each Voting Support Agreement, irrevocably agreed to vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal and against any competing proposal.

For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger - Voting Support Agreements” beginning on page 56.

We have agreed that, following the end of the Go-Shop Period, we will, and will direct our officers, directors, employees, representatives (including any financial or other advisors) and agents (referred to in this section of the Proxy Statement as “Representatives”) to immediately cease any and all existing discussions, communications or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal conducted prior to the end of the Go-Shop Period with any persons. In addition, subject to other terms of the Merger Agreement’s non-solicitation provisions and “Change in Recommendation” provisions, we have agreed that, following the end of the Go-Shop Period and until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement, we will not and will not permit our Representatives to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, assist, initiate, facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by furnishing information) any inquiry, proposal or offer that relates to or that constitutes, or which may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; or (ii) engage, entertain, encourage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person (other than MDA Space and the Merger Subs) regarding any inquiry, proposal or offer that relates to or that constitutes, or which may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal​.


15


 
In addition, we have agreed to promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify MDA Space if we receive or become aware of the receipt of  (x) any Acquisition Proposal, or (y) any inquiry, proposal or offer that relates to an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer, and the identity of the person making any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer. Furthermore, we have agreed to keep MDA Space reasonably informed of the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal or offer and to provide to MDA Space copies of all material or substantive correspondences and documents related thereto.

In addition, we have agreed not to terminate, waive, amend or modify, or grant permission under, any standstill provision to which we are a party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, without MDA Space’s prior written consent.

Board Recommendation Change (Page 76)

Unless the Merger Agreement explicitly states otherwise, the Merger Agreement prohibits us from:


withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying in a manner adverse to MDA Space, or failing to make, the recommendation of the Board that the holders of our Ordinary Shares approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger (the “Board Recommendation”);

failing to include the Board Recommendation in this Proxy Statement;

approving or recommending an Acquisition Proposal;

failing to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for our Ordinary Shares within five Business Days (as defined in the Merger Agreement) after the commencement of such offer;

failing to reaffirm (publicly, if MDA Space requests) the Board Recommendation within five Business Days after being requested by MDA Space or within five Business Days after a public announcement of an Acquisition Proposal, or making any public statement substantively inconsistent with the Board Recommendation;

entering into a written agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal;

resolving, agreeing or publicly announcing any intention to take any such actions described in the six bullet points immediately above (any action described in bullets one through six as further described in the Merger Agreement, a “Change in Recommendation”);

accepting, approving, endorsing, entering into or recommending, or proposing publicly to accept, approve, endorse or recommend, any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or which may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; or

entering into any agreement in furtherance of any Acquisition Proposal or which may reasonable be expected to constitute or lead to, any Acquisition Proposal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary under the Merger Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the approval of our shareholders, we may effect a Change in Recommendation, enter into a written definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and terminate the Merger Agreement, in each case if:


we receive an Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of our non-solicitation and matching right obligations under the Merger Agreement;
 

16

 

the Board concludes, in good faith after receipt of a recommendation by both the Special Committee and Audit Committee and after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below) and, after, among other things, consultation with the Company’s outside legal advisors, that the failure to effect a Change in Recommendation is or would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of our directors under applicable law;

we provide MDA Space with: (i) a copy of the definitive agreement proposed to be entered into in respect of the Superior Proposal, together with any material financing documents relating to such Superior Proposal, if supplied to us; and (ii) our written confirmation that (a) the Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (b) we intend to enter into the definitive agreement in respect of the Superior Proposal;

at least five Business Days have elapsed from the date that is the later of: (i) the date on which MDA Space received written notice advising MDA Space that the Board has resolved to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; and (ii) the date MDA Space has received all of the materials expressly specified in the bullet point immediately above (such period, as it may extended pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the “Matching Period”);

the person making the Superior Proposal acknowledges the terms of the agreements between us and MDA Space; and

if MDA Space offered to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the matching rights summarized below, the Board, after consultation with the Company’s financial and legal advisors, in good faith determined that the Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal.

During the Matching Period, MDA Space has the right to offer to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Board will review any offer to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement in good faith in order to determine, in its discretion in the exercise of its fiduciary duties and in consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, whether MDA Space’s amended offer would cause the Superior Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal, and, if not, what further changes are required in order to cause the Superior Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal, and advise MDA Space of same and allow it, within an additional three Business Days, to further amend its Acquisition Proposal. If the Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal does not continue to be a Superior Proposal compared to the Merger Agreement as it is proposed to be amended by MDA Space, the parties will amend the Merger Agreement to give effect to such amendment.

The term “Superior Proposal” means a written Acquisition Proposal from person(s) who are an arm’s length third party or parties, made after the date of the Merger Agreement, that: (a) did not result from the Company’s breach of its non-solicitation and matching right covenants described above; (b) is not subject to any financing contingency or any due diligence condition following the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; and (c) the Board determines in good faith (after receipt of a recommendation by both the Special Committee and the Audit Committee and after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal advisors) is more favorable from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Company (taken as a whole) than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, after taking into account: (i) all relevant financial considerations; (ii) the identity of the third party making such Acquisition Proposal; (iii) the reasonable likelihood and timing of consummating such Acquisition Proposal; (iv) the other terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal; and (v) if proposed in accordance with the matching rights under the Merger Agreement, any revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that, for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the term “Acquisition Proposal” will have the meaning assigned to such term in the Merger Agreement, except that each reference to “15%” in such definition will be deemed to be a reference to “80%”.
 
Termination of the Merger Agreement (Page 80)

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing by the mutual written agreement of MDA Space and the Company.
 

17


 
The Merger Agreement may also be terminated prior to the Closing by either us or MDA Space if:


the First Merger will not have been consummated on or before December 31, 2025 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that such right of termination will not be available to any party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement has been the cause of, or a primary contributing factor that resulted in, the failure of the First Merger to be consummated on or before the End Date;

any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction will have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced, or entered any law or order making illegal, permanently enjoining, or otherwise permanently prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and such law or order will have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that such right of termination will not be available to any party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement has been a contributing cause of the issuance, promulgation, enforcement, or entry of any such order; or

the Merger Agreement has been submitted to our shareholders for adoption at a duly convened meeting and the requisite approval will not have been obtained at such meeting; provided that such right of termination will not be available to any party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement has been a contributing cause, or resulted in, the failure to receive the Requisite Shareholder Approval.
​​
The Merger Agreement may also be terminated by MDA Space prior to the Closing under any of the following circumstances:


if a Change in Recommendation has occurred;

if we have breached or failed to perform in any material respect our non-solicitation and matching right obligations under the Merger Agreement;

if we have breached any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement such that any joint or MDA Space condition to the Closing would not be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured by the End Date; or, if capable of being cured by the End Date, has not been cured prior to the time described in the Merger Agreement; provided that MDA Space will not have the right to terminate if MDA Space or any Merger Sub is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation under the Merger Agreement that would cause any joint or Company condition to the Closing not to be satisfied; or

a Company Material Adverse Effect will have occurred.

The Merger Agreement may also be terminated by us prior to the Closing under any of the following circumstances:


following our compliance with our non-solicitation and matching right obligations under the Merger Agreement, we enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal; or

if MDA Space or any of the Merger Subs has breached any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement such that any joint or Company condition to the Closing would not be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured by the End Date; or, if capable of being cured by the End Date, has not been cured prior to the time described in the Merger Agreement; provided that we will not have the right to terminate if we are then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation under the Merger Agreement that would cause any joint or MDA Space condition to the Closing not to be satisfied.

Termination and Breakup Fees (Page 81)

We will be required to pay the following fees in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement:


a termination fee of $5,000,000, if the Merger Agreement is terminated due to a Change in Recommendation if a Superior Proposal was received on or prior to May 16, 2025 and the definitive agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal received on or prior to May 16, 2025 is entered into immediately following the Matching Period under the Merger Agreement;

a termination fee of $10,000,000, in all other circumstances described in the Merger Agreement, including: (a) in connection with our breach of the non-solicitation and matching right obligations under the Merger Agreement; (b) if the Merger Agreement is terminated by us for any other reason and at such time MDA Space is entitled to terminate the Merger Agreement due to a Change in Recommendation; and (c) in connection with our consummation of an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the previously announced Acquisition Proposal) within twelve (12) months following the termination of the Merger Agreement, or our entry into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the previously announced Acquisition Proposal) within such twelve (12) month period where such Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated (for the purposes of the last sentence, all references to “15%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” will be deemed to be references to “50%”); or

a breakup fee of $10,000,000 if the Merger Agreement is terminated by MDA Space due to our breach (other than any willful or intentional breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement such that any joint or MDA Space condition to the Closing would not be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured by the End Date; or, if capable of being cured by the End Date, has not been cured prior to the time described in the Merger Agreement.

MDA Space will be required to pay us a breakup fee of $10,000,000 if the Merger Agreement is terminated by us due to MDA Space’s breach (other than any willful or intentional breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement such that any joint or Company condition to the Closing would not be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured by the End Date; or, if capable of being cured by the End Date, has not been cured prior to the time described in the Merger Agreement.
 
Specific Performance (Page 82)
 
Each of the parties to the Merger Agreement will be entitled to injunction or any other form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the Merger Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement.

Forward-looking statements may be, but are not necessarily, identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” and words and terms of similar substance.  Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual events, results, performance, circumstances or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual events, results, performance, circumstances or achievements to differ from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:


we may be unable to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval;

we may be unable to obtain required regulatory approvals or satisfy other conditions to the closing of the Merger;

the Merger may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays;

the potential for regulatory authorities to require divestitures, behavioral remedies or other concessions in order to obtain their approval of the Merger;

our business may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the proposed Merger, diversion of management attention on Merger-related matters, disruption of current plans and operations, the potential difficulties in employee retention, and impact of the Merger on relationships with customers, distributors and suppliers;

the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Merger on the Company’s business relationships, operating results and business generally;

potential loss of customers or business or reduction in business with current customers due to the contemplated Merger;

the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the Merger;

the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement;

other risks to consummation of the proposed Merger as discussed in this Proxy Statement, including the risk that the proposed Merger will not be consummated within the expected time period or at all, which may adversely affect our business and the price of the Ordinary Shares; and

other risks and factors disclosed in our filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, risks and factors identified under such headings as “Risk Factors”, “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2025 (the “Form 20-F”). 

20

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information included in this Proxy Statement, including the matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 20, you should consider carefully the following risk factors in determining how to vote at the Special Meeting. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risks related to the Merger Proposal and you should read and consider the risk factors described under Part I, Item 3.D, “Key Information - Risk Factors” of the Form 20-F and incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.

The Merger may not be completed, due to the failure of the parties to achieve the Closing conditions or otherwise; such a failure could negatively impact our Ordinary Share price, business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

The Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions to Closing described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 79 including, among others, that:


the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the Requisite Shareholder Approval;

no governmental authority in any jurisdiction has by any law or order, restrained, enjoined or otherwise prohibited the consummation of the Merger;

expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, or, where applicable, approvals have been obtained, and all notices to, filings with and consents of the applicable governmental authority have been made or obtained under all required governmental approvals;

at least 50 days will have elapsed after the filing of the merger proposals with the Companies Registrar and at least 30 days will have elapsed after the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders has been received; and

no Company Material Adverse Effect (excepting any effects that, individually or in the aggregate, would not prevent or materially impair the Company from consummating the Merger or performing any of its material obligations under the Merger Agreement) will have occurred since April 1, 2025, and be continuing.
 
No assurance can be given that each of the conditions will be satisfied. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated under the circumstances described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page 80. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived in a timely manner and the Merger is delayed, payment of the Merger Consideration will also be delayed.

If the Merger is not completed (including in the case the Merger Agreement is terminated), our ongoing business and our financial position will likely be adversely affected. Under such a scenario, our directors, senior management and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort and will have experienced significant distractions from their work, and we will have incurred significant transaction costs, during the pendency of a failed transaction. In addition, our continuing business relationships with business partners and employees, and the market’s perceptions of our prospects, could be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse impact on the trading price of the Ordinary Shares.

We also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Merger. If these risks materialize, our financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially adversely affected.

21

Some of our directors and executive officers have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders.

Certain of our directors and executive officers may have interests in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that may be different from, or in addition to, those of our other shareholders, which interests are described in the section entitled “The Merger - Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal” beginning on page 53. These interests include, among other things, the vesting of the price adjustment shares (the “Price Adjustment Shares”) issued pursuant to that certain business combination agreement, dated as of March 8, 2022, by and among Endurance Acquisition Corp., the Company and SatixFy MS, as amended (the “Business Combination Agreement”) and pursuant to the Consent and Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2023 (the “Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement”), to the Credit Agreement, dated February 1, 2022, among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), the making of certain payments upon the termination of certain of our directors, the rights to accelerated vesting of equity awards, the honoring of the Company’s indemnification obligations under our charter documents or any existing indemnification agreement and coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period of seven years commencing at the Effective Time.

The fact that there is a Merger pending could materially harm our business and results of operations.

While the Merger is pending, we are subject to a number of risks that may harm our business and results of operations, including:


the diversion of management and employee attention from implementing our growth strategy in our existing markets or in new markets that we are targeting;

the potential negative effect of the pendency of the Merger on our business, including uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, which may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel, and could cause customers, suppliers and others to seek to change existing business relationships with the Company;

the fact that we have and will continue to incur expenses related to the Merger prior to its closing;

our potential inability to respond effectively to competitive pressures, industry developments and future opportunities, in particular, given the restrictions on the conduct of the Company’s business during the interim period between signing and closing due to the pre-closing covenants in the Merger Agreement;

we could be subject to costly litigation associated with the Merger; and

our current and prospective employees may be uncertain about their future roles and relationships with the Company following completion of the Merger, which may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel.
Our obligation to pay a termination fee or a breakup fee under certain circumstances and the restrictions on our ability to solicit or engage in negotiations with respect to other potential acquisition proposals may discourage other potential transactions that may be favorable to our shareholders.

The Merger Agreement provides for a 45 calendar day Go-Shop Period beginning on the date of the Merger Agreement, during which we may, subject to compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, solicit, encourage, entertain, discuss and negotiate inquiries, proposals or offers in respect of potential alternative transactions. Thereafter and, until the Merger is consummated or the Merger Agreement is terminated, with limited exceptions, the Merger Agreement prohibits us from soliciting, assisting, initiating, facilitating or knowingly encouraging or engaging in negotiations with respect to Acquisition Proposals or other business combinations. The Merger Agreement also provides MDA Space with certain matching rights in respect of certain alternative potential Acquisition Proposals. If the Company receives a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal during the Go-Shop Period and immediately after the respective Matching Period enters into such definitive agreement, we will be required to pay to MDA Space a termination fee of $5 million. In all other circumstances described in the Merger Agreement, including if MDA Space terminates the Merger Agreement due to our breach of our non-solicit obligations or, in certain cases, if we enter into an alternative transaction after termination of the Merger Agreement, we will be required to pay to MDA Space a termination fee of $10 million. Each of MDA Space and the Company are also subject to a mutual breakup fee of $10 million under other circumstances described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Termination and Breakup Fees” beginning on page 81 and set forth in the Merger Agreement.
22


If the Merger is not consummated by the End Date under certain circumstances that may be beyond our control, either we or MDA Space will be entitled to choose not to proceed with the Merger.

The Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain Closing conditions described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Conditions to the Merger” and set forth in the Merger Agreement. The fulfillment of certain of these conditions is beyond our control, such as: (1) the receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval; (2) no governmental entity having jurisdiction over any party will have enacted any injunctions that prohibit consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (3) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, or, where applicable, approvals have been obtained, and all notices to, filings with and consents of the applicable governmental authority have been made or obtained under all required governmental approvals. If the Merger has not been completed by the End Date, either we or MDA Space may generally terminate the Merger Agreement, notwithstanding the prior receipt of the approval of the Merger by our shareholders, except that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement would not be available to a party that is in material breach of the Merger Agreement or whose actions or omissions, which constitute a breach of the Merger Agreement, are a principal cause of, or primarily result in, the failure of the Merger to be completed on or before that date. For more information on the End Date, please see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Termination of the Merger Agreement”.

There can be no certainty, nor can the Company provide any assurance, that the Requisite Shareholder Approval will be obtained. If such approval is not obtained and the Merger is not completed, the market price of the Ordinary Shares may decline.

Our shareholders could file lawsuits in the future challenging the Merger, which may delay or prevent the Closing, cause the Company to incur substantial defense or settlement costs, or otherwise adversely affect the Company.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, there are no pending lawsuits challenging the Merger. However, potential plaintiffs may file lawsuits challenging the Merger. The outcome of any future litigation is uncertain. Such litigation, if not resolved, could prevent or delay completion of the Merger and result in substantial costs to us, including any costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers. One of the conditions to the closing of the Merger is the absence of any provision of applicable law or order by any governmental entity that has the effect of restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger. Therefore, if a plaintiff were successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger on the agreed-upon terms, then such injunction may prevent the Merger from being completed, or from being completed within the expected timeframe. The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the Merger is completed may adversely affect our business, financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company is subject to covenants in respect of the operation of its business which may prevent the Company from pursuing certain opportunities that may arise.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to certain interim operating covenants intended to ensure that the Company carries on business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, except as required or expressly authorized by the Merger Agreement. These operating covenants cover a broad range of activities and business practices. Consequently, it is possible that a business opportunity will arise that is out of the ordinary course or is not consistent with past practices, and that the Company, subject to the consent of MDA Space, will not be able to pursue or undertake the opportunity due to its covenants in the Merger Agreement.

The Company is responsible for its costs related to the Merger, whether or not the Merger is completed.

Certain costs related to the Merger, such as legal, accounting and certain financial advisor fees, must be paid by the Company even if the Merger is not completed. The Company and MDA Space are each liable for their own costs incurred in connection with the Merger in accordance with the Merger Agreement. See also the risk factor above entitled “Our obligation to pay a termination fee or a breakup fee under certain circumstances and the restrictions on our ability to solicit or engage in negotiations with respect to other potential acquisition proposals may discourage other potential transactions that may be favorable to our shareholders”.

Upon consummation of the Merger, our shareholders will no longer be shareholders of the Company.

Upon consummation of the Merger, each shareholder will cease to hold such shareholder’s Ordinary Shares and to have any rights as a holder of such Ordinary Shares other than the right to be paid the Merger Consideration in accordance with the Merger. If the Merger is successfully completed, the Company will no longer exist as an independent public company, and, as a result of the consummation of the Merger, shareholders will no longer have the opportunity to participate in the potential long-term benefits of the Company’s business, if any, notwithstanding the risks that the Company faces, to the extent that those potential benefits exceed the benefits reflected in the Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to the Merger.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

General; Date; Time and Place
 
The Special Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., Israel time, at the offices of Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co., One Azrieli Center, 40th floor, Tel Aviv, Israel, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Purpose of the Special Meeting
 
The Special Meeting is being held for the purpose of considering and voting on the proposal to approve the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
 
Shareholders will also be asked to consider and, as applicable, vote upon, any other business that may properly come before the Special Meeting. The Company currently does not contemplate that any other matters will be considered at the Special Meeting.

Shareholders Entitled to Vote; Record Date
 
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting (including any continuation, adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting). Shareholders who, as of the Record Date, held Ordinary Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee which is a shareholder of record of the Company or which appears in the participant list of a securities depository, are considered to be beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares held in street name. These proxy materials, together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your Ordinary Shares, are being forwarded to beneficial owners by their bank, broker or other nominee that are considered the holder of record. Beneficial owners have the right to direct how their Ordinary Shares should be voted and are also invited to attend the Special Meeting but may not vote their Ordinary Shares in person at the Special Meeting without obtaining, prior to the Special Meeting, a legal proxy from such bank, broker or other nominee that authorizes them to vote their Ordinary Shares, and an account statement showing that they held the Ordinary Shares in their account as of the Record Date. Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in street name may be able to utilize the control number appearing on their voting instruction form to submit their voting instruction to their brokers, trustees or nominees by other means, if so indicated on their voting instruction form. All votes should be submitted by 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting (or such earlier deadline as may be indicated on the voting instruction form) in order to be counted towards the tally of Ordinary Shares voted at the Special Meeting (unless the Chairman of the Special Meeting extends that deadline).
 
Proxy materials for shareholders who, as of the Record Date, held Ordinary Shares registered directly in their name (or in the name of a trustee on their behalf) with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, are being sent directly to the shareholders (or to such trustee) by the transfer agent. As the shareholder of record, such shareholders can vote their Ordinary Shares by attending the Special Meeting or by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card. Except as otherwise indicated on the form of proxy card, we will not be able to count a proxy card unless we receive it at our principal executive offices at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315, Israel, or our transfer agent receives it in the envelope that will be provided, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) on May 18, 2025, which is forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for the Special Meeting (or such earlier deadline as may be indicated on the voting instruction form), or such shorter period prior to the Special Meeting as the Chairman of the Special Meeting may determine.

As of March 31, 2025, there were 86,849,556 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote on each of the matters to be presented at the Special Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board

After careful consideration, the Audit Committee and the Board (excluding directors who may be deemed to have a personal interest (as defined under the Companies Law) in the Merger Proposal) upon recommendation of the Special Committee (comprised solely of independent directors) has:

 
determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders;
 
adopted and approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;
 
determined that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, and assuming, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of MDA Space and Merger Subs in the Merger Agreement, no reasonable concern exists that, as a result of the Merger, the Company, as the surviving company, will be unable to fulfill its obligations to its creditors as a result of the Merger; and
 
determined to recommend to the shareholders the approval of the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Merger and approval of all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The directors who may be deemed to have a personal interest (as defined under the Companies Law) in the Merger Proposal did not participate in the discussion and the vote for adopting the foregoing resolutions. 

THE BOARD (EXCLUDING DIRECTORS WHO MAY BE DEEMED TO HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST (AS DEFINED UNDER THE COMPANIES LAW) IN THE MERGER PROPOSAL) UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL AND THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.
 
Quorum and Voting

Under the Articles and the provisions of the Companies Law, the quorum required for the Special Meeting for approval of each the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is at least two or more shareholders who are present, in person or by proxy or represented by their authorized persons, and who hold or represent in the aggregate 33-1/3% or more of the voting rights of the Company. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” any matter, although they will be counted as present in determining whether a quorum is present. Should no legal quorum be present within half an hour from the time appointed for the holding of the Special Meeting, the Special Meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place, or to such other day, time and place as the Board may indicate in a notice to our shareholders. At such adjourned meeting any number of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the business for which the original Special Meeting was called.

Voting Results

The overall results of the Special Meeting will be published following the Special Meeting in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that will be furnished to the SEC.

Voting of Proxies and Voting Instructions Forms

Ordinary Shares held by Shareholders of Record

Shareholders of record can vote by using the enclosed proxy card, and that can be completed, signed, and returned in the enclosed envelope, or vote online using the instructions on the proxy card.
 
In the alternative to the foregoing voting methods, a proxy card may be presented by a registered shareholder in person to the chairperson of the Special Meeting in order to be counted towards the tally of votes at the Special Meeting. If you are a registered shareholder and attend the Special Meeting, you may vote in person, and if you so vote, your proxy will not be used.

Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, if you hold your Ordinary Shares in your own name as the shareholder of record, please vote your Ordinary Shares using a proxy. Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions will not be voted in respect of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Ordinary Shares Held in “Street Name”
 
If your Ordinary Shares are held either in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of the Ordinary Shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, you may instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote by completing and returning the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker or other nominee. Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in street name may be able to utilize the control number appearing on their voting instruction form to submit their voting instruction to their brokers, trustees or nominees by other means, if so indicated on their voting instruction form. If you plan to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, you will be required to present a “legal proxy” from your bank, broker or other nominee, along with an account statement showing ownership of your Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date, in order to be given a ballot to vote the Ordinary Shares in person at the Special Meeting.

Revoking or Changing Your Vote

If you are a shareholder of record, any proxy that you give pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by you at any time before it is voted. Proxies may be revoked in one of three ways: 

 
you can send a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy, which notice must be received in our offices at any time prior to the deadline for submitting a proxy card;
 
you can complete and submit a new proxy card dated later than the first proxy card, which must be received no later than the deadline applicable to a notice of revocation, as described above; or
 
you can attend the Special Meeting and file a written notice of revocation or make an oral notice of revocation of your proxy with the chairperson of the Special Meeting and then vote in person. Your attendance at the Special Meeting will not revoke your proxy in and of itself.

Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy submitted to the Company in advance of the Special Meeting should be delivered to the Company care of Ms. Reut Tevet, the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, at the Company’s registered office at 12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 670315 Israel, or hand delivered to the Chairman of the Special Meeting at or before the taking of the vote at the Special Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner and hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions regarding how to change your vote.

The Proxies

Nir Barkan, our Chief Executive Officer, and Oren Harari, our Chief Financial Officer, will serve as proxies for shareholders under the form of proxy to be provided with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Special Meeting.

Vote Required for Approval of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal

Under the Articles and the Companies Law, the approval of each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (not taking into consideration abstentions or broker non-votes), excluding, in the case of the Merger Proposal, any Ordinary Shares that are held by (i) MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; (ii) a person holding, directly or indirectly, either (a) 25% or more of the voting rights of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, or (b) the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; or (iii) one of such person’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants, siblings, or parents, or the spouse of any such person, or a corporation controlled by any one or more of such persons or by MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, which constitutes the Ordinary Majority. In addition to the foregoing Ordinary Majority requirement, approval of the Merger Proposal is also subject to the requirement for a Special Majority, namely that either (A) the Ordinary Shares voting in favor of the Merger Proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted by shareholders who are neither the Company’s controlling shareholders nor shareholders who have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal, or (B) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by non-controlling shareholders or anyone acting on their behalf and by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal that voted against the Merger Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.
 
27

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 other office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or controls, by itself or together with others, one-half (i.e., 50%) or more of any one of the “means of control” of the Company or, if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights of the Company, any shareholder that holds 25% or more of the voting rights of the Company. For purposes of holdings, two or more shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the same transaction are deemed to be joint holders. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the right to appoint directors of Company or its chief executive officer. A “personal interest” of a shareholder is: (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 serves 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 Ordinary Shares in the Company.
 
A controlling shareholder and a shareholder that has a personal interest are qualified to participate in the vote on the Merger Proposal and such vote will be counted towards the Ordinary Majority; however, the vote of such shareholders will not be counted towards the Special Majority.
 
Every shareholder voting on the Merger Proposal is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal. Accordingly, every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card, voting instruction form or online using the instructions on the enclosed proxy card will be deemed to confirm to the Company that such shareholder is NOT a controlling shareholder and does NOT have a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal. If you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal, please notify the Company’s VP Finance & Legal, Reut Tevet, at +972-8-939-3200 or via email at reut.tevet@satixfy.com. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal, you should notify your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.

In connection with the Merger, certain members of the Board (namely, Mr. Yoav Leibovitch and Mr. Richard Davis) and certain shareholders of the Company (namely, Ms. Simona Gat, Endurance Antarctica Partners, LLC and certain affiliates of Francisco Partners L.P.), who, in the aggregate, together with Mr. Leibovitch and Mr. Davis, hold approximately 57% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares) have informed the Board of their personal interest in approval of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal due to their respective holdings of the Price Adjustment Shares. The Price Adjustment Shares are subject to vesting and forfeiture based upon the trading price of the Ordinary Shares meeting certain price targets or upon a change of control in the Company.  The closing of the Merger would constitute such a change of control.  See the section entitled “The Merger – Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal” beginning on page 53. In addition, any shareholder of the Company as of the Record Date who is employed full time by the Company will be considered as having a personal interest in the approval of the Merger Proposal.
 
28

In light of those personal interests, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal were approved by the Audit Committee prior to being approved by the Board, which acted in accordance with the recommendation of the Special Committee appointed by the Board and comprised of three independent directors: Mary P. Cotton, Moshe Eisenberg and Yair Shamir. Certain compensation arrangements relating to the Merger Proposal, as described in this Proxy Statement and the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A, were also approved by the Compensation Committee and will be voted upon as part of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting.
 
Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as having been voted in respect of the Merger Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Consequently, assuming a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the voting with respect to each of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
 
Share Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers
 
As of March 31, 2025, directors and executive officers of the Company beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 29.1% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. See the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” beginning on page 83 for more details concerning the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares by our directors and executive officers. Certain directors and executive officers, who are also shareholders of the Company and owned an aggregate of 49,669,901 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 57% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of March 31, 2025, and each of Yoav Leibovitch, Simona Gat, Endurance Antarctica Partners, LLC, FP Credit Partners, L.P., FP Credit Partners Phoenix, L.P., FP Credit Partners II, L.P. and FP Credit Partners Phoenix II, L.P., shareholders of the Company who owned 21,903,349, 16,186,297, 5,673,849, 862,914, 216,430, 4,632,223 and 224,842 Ordinary Shares, respectively, representing 25.2%, 18.6%, 6.5%, 1.0%, 0.3%, 5.3%, and 0.3%, , respectively, of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of March 31, 2025, entered into Voting Support Agreements with MDA Space. For more information regarding the Voting Support Agreements, see “The Merger – Voting Support Agreements”.

Solicitation of Proxies
 
Proxies are being distributed by the Company to shareholders on or about April 15, 2025. We will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing, and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares.
 
In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies for the Special Meeting from our shareholders personally or by telephone, facsimile and other electronic means without compensation other than reimbursement for their actual expenses. Arrangements also will be made with bankers, brokers and other nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares held of record by those persons, and we will, if requested, reimburse the holders of record for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing.
 
We have engaged Kingsdale Advisors to assist in soliciting proxies on our behalf. Kingsdale Advisors may solicit proxies personally, electronically or by telephone. We have agreed to pay Kingsdale Advisors a fee of $20,000 and reimburse them for certain out-of-pocket disbursements and expenses. We have also agreed to indemnify Kingsdale Advisors and its employees against certain liabilities arising from or in connection with the engagement.

29

Attending the Special Meeting

All shareholders, including joint holders, who held Ordinary Shares of record as of the close of business on April 14, 2025, the Record Date, and other persons holding valid proxies for the Special Meeting are entitled to attend the Special Meeting. All shareholders and their proxies should be prepared to present a valid photo identification. In addition, if you are a registered holder of Ordinary Shares, your name is subject to verification against the list of registered holders on the Record Date prior to being admitted to the Special Meeting. Shareholders who are not registered holders but hold Ordinary Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee in “street name” and wish to attend the Special Meeting should be prepared to provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as a recent account statement as of the Record Date or similar evidence of ownership. A “street name” holder who wishes to vote his, her or its Ordinary Shares at the Special Meeting will be required to present a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee through which the Ordinary Shares are held. If you do not provide photo identification or the foregoing documentation or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, you will not be admitted to the Special Meeting.
 
Delisting and Deregistration of the Ordinary Shares
 
Following the Closing, the Ordinary Shares will be delisted from the NYSE American LLC and deregistered under the Exchange Act, and will no longer be publicly traded.
 
Adjournments

Should no legal quorum be present within half an hour from the time appointed for the holding of the Special Meeting, the Special Meeting shall stand adjourned to Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Israel time at the same place, or to such other day, time and place as the Board may indicate in a notice to our shareholders. At such adjourned meeting any number of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the business for which the original Special Meeting was called.

APPROVAL OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL

Proposed Resolution

At the Special Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposal, which is more fully described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement:

RESOLVED, to approve the Merger Proposal, which includes (i) the Merger; (ii) the Merger Agreement; (iii) the Merger Consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Merger; (iv) the acceleration of any outstanding options to acquire Ordinary Shares that are “in-the-money” and any outstanding RSUs, whether or not then vested or exercisable, and the conversion of such equity awards into the right to receive a lump-sum cash payment, subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (v) the purchase of a liability insurance policy providing coverage to the Company’s directors and officers for a period of seven years commencing at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; and (vi) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by or ancillary to the Merger Agreement (as all such terms are defined in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated April 7, 2025).”

Required Vote

See the section entitled “The Special Meeting - Vote Required for Approval of the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal” beginning on page 27 above.

Board Recommendation

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD (EXCLUDING DIRECTORS WHO MAY BE DEEMED TO HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST (AS DEFINED IN THE COMPANIES LAW) IN THE MERGER PROPOSAL), UPON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD COMPRISED SOLELY OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE MERGER PROPOSAL.
31

THE MERGER
 
The description in this Proxy Statement of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A. We urge that you read the Merger Agreement carefully in its entirety.

Effect of the Merger

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the Companies Law, if the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement are consummated, MDA Space will acquire the Company through the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub 1, and Merger Sub 1 then immediately merging with and into the Company. As a result, the Company again will be the surviving entity, and it will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space.

As a result of the Merger, following the Closing, the Ordinary Shares will be delisted from the NYSE American LLC and deregistered under the Exchange Act and will no longer be publicly traded. If the Merger is completed, you will not own any share capital of the surviving company.

Effect on the Company if the Merger is Not Completed
 
If the Merger Agreement is not approved by the Company’s shareholders or if the Merger is not completed for any other reason, the Company’s shareholders will not receive any payment for their Ordinary Shares. Instead, the Company will remain an independent public company, the Ordinary Shares will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American LLC and registered under the Exchange Act, and the Company will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC. In addition, if the Merger is not completed, the Company expects that management will operate the business in a manner similar to that in which it is being operated today under liquidity constraints and that the shareholders will continue to be subject to the same risks and opportunities to which they are currently subject, including risks related to the highly competitive industry in which the Company operates and risks related to adverse economic or industry conditions.
 
Furthermore, if the Merger is not completed, and depending on the circumstances that caused the Merger not to be completed, the price of the Ordinary Shares may decline significantly. If that were to occur, it is uncertain when, if ever, the price of the Ordinary Shares would return to the price at which the Ordinary Shares trade as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
 
Accordingly, if the Merger is not completed, there can be no assurance as to the effect of these risks and opportunities on the future value of your Ordinary Shares. If the Merger is not completed, the Board will continue to evaluate and review the Company’s business operations, strategic direction and capitalization, among other things, and will make such changes as are deemed appropriate. If the Merger Agreement is not approved by the Company’s shareholders or if the Merger is not completed for any other reason, there can be no assurance that any other transaction acceptable to the Board will be offered or that the Company’s business, prospects or results of operations will not be adversely impacted.
 
Further, our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, contained an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Unless the Merger will take effect, our management expects us to continue to generate substantial operating losses and to continue to fund our operations primarily through the utilization of our current financial resources, sales of our products, and through additional raises of capital. As of December 31, 2024, we incurred accumulated losses of approximately $557 million. If the Merger is consummated, we expect that the proceeds and financial support provided through the transaction will alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A going concern opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise in the future. Further financial statements may also include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern if the Merger is not completed or if alternative funding sources are not secured.
32


In addition, we will be required to pay to MDA Space a termination or breakup fee, and MDA Space may be required to pay us a breakup fee, in certain circumstances. For more information, please see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Termination and Breakup Fees.”

Background of the Merger

The provisions of the Merger Agreement are the result of extensive negotiations among representatives of the Company and MDA Space, with the assistance of their respective legal and financial advisors. The following chronology summarizes the material meetings and events that led to the signing of the Merger Agreement, but it does not purport to catalogue every conversation and correspondence among representatives of the Company, MDA Space, and such parties’ respective affiliates and advisors.

The Board and management regularly review and discuss the performance, strategy, competitive position, opportunities, financial condition and prospects of the Company in light of the then-current business and economic environment, as well as developments in the industry in which the Company operates, and the opportunities and challenges facing participants in the Company’s industry. In addition, the Board and management from time to time review the possibility of pursuing various strategic alternatives and relationships as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its overall business and enhance value for shareholders.

In 2021, the Company and MDA Space first came into commercial contact in connection with various requests for proposals relating to the space industry. Following these interactions, MDA Space approached the Company to secure pricing for space grade chips in order to expand the product offering in MDA Space’s satellite systems business. Affiliates of each company ultimately entered into a Pricing and Pre-Purchase Agreement on January 27, 2022 (the “Pre-Purchase Agreement”) relating to the development, production and supply of space grade chips (including the Sx4000) developed by the Company. The Pre-Purchase Agreement initially provided the Company with a fully refundable $10 million pre-payment to be applied against MDA Space’s future purchases. Since then, the Company and MDA Space have entered into a number of additional commercial agreements (or otherwise amended their terms) which resulted in MDA Space becoming a major customer of the Company from 2023 onwards, representing approximately 14% and 20% of the Company’s revenue in 2023 and 2024, respectively. At the same time, the Board and management determined in early 2023 that, absent an immediate and large cash injection, the Company would be unable to meet its cash needs beginning in early 2024 and, over time, may be unable to continue as a going concern. This determination, combined with the Company’s plans to focus most development efforts on its space grade chips while seeking to cut unrelated costs, led the Board and management to consider divesting certain businesses, among other alternatives to raise proceeds to continue funding cash needs.

In 2023, the Company elected to streamline its business operations by divesting a non-core subsidiary, SatixFy Space Systems UK Ltd. (“SatixFy Space UK”). MDA Space was interested in acquiring SatixFy Space UK on terms attractive to the Company and, on June 2, 2023, the Company and MDA Space executed a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of all of the outstanding ordinary shares in SatixFy Space UK to an affiliate of MDA Space. In connection with the letter of intent, affiliates of the Company and MDA Space entered into an amendment to the Pre-Purchase Agreement and a security and guarantee agreement increasing the refundable pre-payment to be applied against MDA Space’s future purchases of space grade chips to $20 million. The refundable pre-payment was subsequently further increased to $25 million.

On August 30, 2023, the Company and an affiliate of MDA Space entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of all of the ordinary shares in SatixFy Space UK to such affiliate of MDA Space. The Purchase Agreement included a no-shop provision prohibiting the Company from soliciting offers for a sale transaction involving the Company or certain of its affiliates or their respective assets through December 31, 2024.
33

In addition to finalizing the sale of SatixFy Space UK, in order to improve the Company’s liquidity situation, the Company concurrently negotiated four amendments and waivers to the Credit Agreement during the period from April 23, 2023 to October 31, 2023. The amendments and waivers provided for, among other things, the deferral of interest payments, the inclusion of interest payments otherwise payable to the principal amount of the Credit Agreement on a “payment in kind” basis and the waiver of certain financial and liquidity covenants.

The closing of the sale of SatixFy Space UK occurred on October 31, 2023. In connection with the closing, the Company and certain of its affiliates entered into certain agreements with MDA Space and certain of its affiliates, including a non-compete agreement, an investor rights agreement, a transition services agreement and license and escrow service agreements. In addition, MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Corporation, an affiliate of MDA Space (the “MDA Space Affiliate”) and the Company entered into a Master Purchase Agreement, dated October 31, 2023 (the “Master Purchase Agreement”), that replaced the Pre-Purchase Agreement and contemplated that the refundable pre-payment to be applied to MDA Space’s future purchases could, subject to certain conditions, be increased by a further $5 million to an aggregate total of $30 million. In connection with the refundable pre-payment and other obligations of the Company pursuant to the various commercial transactions, the Company granted a general security interest in favor of MDA Space for a period of three years, consistent with and subordinate to the security interest granted to the lenders under the Credit Agreement. The security interest was subsequently amended in January 2025, extending the term to the earlier of (i) March 31, 2027 or (ii) the satisfaction of all obligations under the relevant commercial agreements.

Following the sale of SatixFy Space UK, the Company continued to provide services to MDA Space, and representatives of the parties met on a regular basis to review hardware and software development progress in connection with ongoing and normal-course commercial arrangements. In addition, in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement entered into with MDA Space in connection with the sale of SatixFy Space UK, MDA Space’s representative attended certain meetings of the Board as an observer. MDA Space’s representative did not attend any meetings of the Board at which the Merger or any related matter was discussed.

Over the course of 2024, the Board and the Company’s management continued to consider the Company’s prospects and how best to execute on its business plan. In addition to the significant capital needed to finance the development of the Company’s complex chips, the Board and management also noted the Company’s high debt service costs under the Credit Agreement (with a total principal amount including accrued interest of approximately $71 million outstanding as of December 31, 2024), including the Company’s anticipated difficulty in making principal payments under the Credit Agreement when it would mature in February 2026 (or earlier, if the Company were to default under the terms of the Credit Agreement without further amendments or waivers being negotiated).

Also over the course of 2024, MDA Space continued to discuss with the Company various commercial concerns. During one such conversation, MDA Space inquired if the Company would be willing to engage in discussions regarding an acquisition of the Company by MDA Space. Representatives of the Company advised that, should MDA Space be interested in acquiring the Company, MDA Space should provide the Board with a formal written offer.

On August 22, 2024, the Company received an unsolicited non-binding proposal from MDA Space to acquire all of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares for $0.90 per Ordinary Share in cash, which implied an aggregate equity value for the Company of approximately $81 million, and the assumption or repayment of the Company’s debt under the Credit Agreement (the “MDA Space Proposal”).  The MDA Space Proposal represented an approximately 36% premium to the trading value of Ordinary Shares on the date on which the MDA Space Proposal was received. The MDA Space Proposal was signed by Mr. Michael Greenley, the Chief Executive Officer of MDA Space. Representatives of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”), MDA Space’s financial advisor, and representatives of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP (“NRF”), MDA Space’s transaction counsel, were copied on the distribution.

On August 27, 2024, Mr. Yoav Leibovitch, the Chairman of the Board, responded to MDA Space by email to advise that, while he believed the MDA Space Proposal did not reflect an appropriate value for the Company, the Board and management would nonetheless consider the MDA Space Proposal.
34

Following receipt of the MDA Space Proposal, the Company asked MDA Space to provide certain clarifications with respect to the MDA Space Proposal, and Mr. Greenley replied to the Board on August 27, 2024 and September 4, 2024.

On August 28, 2024, as a result of receipt of the MDA Space Proposal, the Company initiated discussions with TD Cowen and other financial advisors with respect to the potential engagement of a financial advisor to the Company in connection with a possible sale, financing or other strategic transaction involving the Company.

 On September 5, 2024, the Board met to discuss, among other things, its response to the MDA Space Proposal and the potential engagement of a financial advisor to the Company in connection therewith. During the meeting, the Board, advised by its corporate counsel Sullivan & Worcester LLP (“Sullivan”), decided to form the Special Committee (provided that it was agreed that the Special Committee process, scope and responsibilities would also be based on an external legal opinion provided to the Special Committee members) comprised of Ms. Mary P. Cotton, Mr. Moshe Eisenberg and Mr. Yair Shamir, three independent directors, and the Special Committee then appointed Ms. Cotton to serve as chairperson. The Special Committee was tasked with the independent evaluation and recommendation and approval of the MDA Space Proposal in light of the personal interest of the Executive Chairman of the Board and controlling shareholder, Mr. Leibovitch, in the MDA Space Proposal, as described below in the section entitled “The Merger - Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal” beginning on page 53. In light of Mr. Leibovitch’s personal interest, the Board also instructed management to engage an independent and reputable corporate law expert to opine on the duties and scope of the Special Committee as well as Mr. Leibovitch’s ability to participate in the negotiations with MDA Space. The Board, with the advice of legal counsel, considered the alignment of Mr. Leibovitch’s interest with the interests of the Company’s public shareholders and his strong incentive, as the Company’s largest shareholder, to conduct negotiations in a manner that would maximize the consideration for all of the Company’s shareholders. The Board also considered Mr. Leibovitch’s role in orchestrating the relationship with MDA Space and negotiating the sale of SatixFy Space UK, as well as his active role in other strategic initiatives as Executive Chairman of the Board. The Board authorized, in accordance with the aforementioned legal opinion, Mr. Leibovitch, Mr. Davis and certain members of the Company’s senior management to lead the negotiations with MDA Space (collectively, the “Company Negotiation Team”), and that the Company Negotiation Team work will be supervised by the Special Committee, to ensure that Mr. Leibovich’s interest does not affect the Board’s decision whether to approve and move forward with the MDA Space Proposal or not.

Also on September 5, 2024, Mr. Leibovitch requested that MDA Space waive the no-shop provisions granted to MDA Space as part of the commercial arrangements in connection with the sale of SatixFy Space UK.

On September 11, 2024, the Special Committee met again to discuss the engagement of a financial advisor to the Company. Following its review of proposals from several potential financial advisors, the Special Committee decided to recommend that the Company engage TD Cowen as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor.

In the ensuing weeks, representatives of both the Company and MDA Space had frequent formal and informal discussions regarding the MDA Space Proposal, including MDA Space’s ability to enhance value. These discussions occurred by phone call and in-person meetings and at a trade conference in Paris.

On September 18, 2024, the Special Committee met, with representatives of Sullivan present, to further discuss the MDA Space Proposal and receive updates from management regarding, among other things, ongoing discussions with MDA Space regarding the MDA Space Proposal.

On September 20, 2024, the Board approved the engagement of TD Cowen as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor in connection with a potential sale, financing or other strategic transaction involving the Company, and TD Cowen was formally engaged thereafter. On such date, the Board also approved the engagement of Prof. Assaf Hamdani, a professor of law at Tel Aviv University and a member of the European Corporate Governance Institute, to opine on the duties and scope of the Special Committee and Mr. Leibovitch’s ability to participate in the negotiations with MDA Space, as described above.

On September 22, 2024, MDA Space advised the Company that it would not waive the existing no-shop obligation to MDA Space under the Purchase Agreement, but would agree to an appropriate go-shop period after a definitive agreement in respect of the proposed business combination with MDA Space had been signed. MDA Space also offered to meet with the Company in London, England in early October 2024 to hold formal negotiations.

On September 23, 2024, the Special Committee held a meeting with management and representatives of GK Advisory (“Kleinhendler”), outside legal counsel to the Company, and TD Cowen.  Management updated the Special Committee on the status of the negotiations and discussed the Company’s relationship with MDA Space and the Company’s current contractual arrangements with MDA Space. The discussion also addressed the items outlined in the MDA Space Proposal, including considerations regarding process, timeline and valuation. The participants also discussed the Company’s existing no-shop obligation to MDA Space under the Purchase Agreement and the scope of a potential go-shop clause to be negotiated with MDA Space.

Following the September 23, 2024 meeting of the Special Committee and during the period of the Company’s discussions and negotiations with MDA Space, management discussed with representatives of TD Cowen the Company’s historical financial performance and potential future prospects.

On October 2, 2024, at the Company’s direction, representatives of TD Cowen held an introductory call with representatives of Citi to review and discuss the MDA Space Proposal.

Throughout this period, representatives of the Company and MDA Space continued to discuss their ongoing commercial relationship, which discussions often led to discussions concerning the terms of the MDA Space Proposal and a range of terms that each party might be willing to accept.

On October 17, 2024, at the Company’s direction, representatives of TD Cowen held a call with representatives of Citi to further discuss the MDA Space Proposal. This discussion focused on, among other things, the Company’s business prospects, the strategic rationale of the transaction and why the Company believed the MDA Space Proposal undervalued the Company.

On October 22, 2024, representatives of the Company and MDA Space met in the London offices of NRF to further discuss the MDA Space Proposal. MDA Space explained the rationale for its proposed purchase price per share, and the Company responded that the proposal did not appropriately value the Company. MDA Space offered to increase its proposed purchase price to $1.50 per share, all in the form of newly issued MDA Space Shares at a to-be-agreed-upon fixed exchange ratio. Representatives of the Company then advised the representatives of MDA Space that the Special Committee likely would consider the revised proposal to be insufficient. The representatives of MDA Space stated that MDA Space would further consider the matter.

On November 5, 2024, the Special Committee met, with representatives of Sullivan present, and the Company’s management provided an update to the Special Committee on the negotiations with MDA Space and MDA Space’s latest proposal of $1.50 per share, all in the form of MDA Space Shares. The members of the Special Committee agreed that the proposal was insufficient and discussed various aspects of the perceived value gap between the parties.  The Special Committee instructed management to continue negotiations with MDA Space.

During the following three weeks, representatives of the Company and MDA Space held frequent telephone calls discussing the value gap between the parties, including potential risks associated with a fixed exchange ratio transaction and ways to address the Company’s desire to solicit third-party alternative acquisition proposals for the Company when appropriate. During this period, management also held similar discussions with representatives of TD Cowen.

On November 24, 2024, MDA Space submitted a revised proposal (the “MDA Space Revised Proposal”) that assumed acceleration of nearly all in-the-money options and RSUs, and, based on MDA Space’s calculation of the Company’s fully-diluted share capital, implied a price of $2.10 per share, comprised of $0.60 in cash and $1.50 in MDA Space Shares, which ratio would be determined based on volume-weighted average trading levels prior to signing a definitive agreement and a collar to limit the parties’ exposure to potential movements in MDA Space’s stock price. The MDA Space Revised Proposal included the assumption or repayment by MDA Space of the Company’s outstanding debt. The MDA Space Revised Proposal represented a 153% premium to the price of the Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the date of the MDA Space Revised Proposal, a 218% premium to the price of the Ordinary Shares on the date of the initial MDA Space Proposal, and a 133% increase compared to the initial MDA Space Proposal.
 
On November 26, 2024, the Special Committee met (without Mr. Shamir, who was not able to attend). The Company’s management updated the Special Committee on the MDA Space Revised Proposal. Management and the Special Committee noted that the MDA Space Revised Proposal included a go-shop provision allowing the Company to explore alternative transactions until December 31, 2024, followed by a no-shop period from January 1, 2025 and until the signing of a definitive agreement while the parties continued to negotiate a transaction.

The members of the Special Committee discussed the terms of the MDA Space Revised Proposal, and requested the Company’s management to provide its views on the MDA Space Revised Proposal. Management recommended increasing the amount of cash to be received in the transaction given potential tax implications for Israeli shareholders and, to ensure an effective go-shop process, recommended a 45-day go-shop period following the execution of a definitive merger agreement.  The members of the Special Committee, management and representatives of TD Cowen discussed the desired cash-versus-equity ratio and go-shop process to be included in the Company’s counterproposal.  Following further discussions, the Special Committee decided to recommend that the Board reject the MDA Space Revised Proposal and that the Company prepare a counterproposal to MDA Space.  The counterproposal maintained the aggregate equity value implied by the MDA Space Revised Proposal, but included a consideration mix of 50% cash and 50% MDA Space Shares and a go-shop provision for the Company to explore alternative transactions for a period of 45 days after signing definitive documentation.

Also on November 26, 2024, Mr. Davis spoke with Mr. Greenley and other members of MDA Space management by phone, and they discussed the methodology used to calculate the $2.10 per share proposed purchase price, the Company’s desire to utilize a conventional go-shop provision after signing the definitive agreement, the ability to increase the cash component of the purchase price and the potential to convert the calculation of MDA Space Shares from an exchange ratio calculation to a fixed value calculation.

Through the end of November 2024 and the beginning of December 2024, representatives of the Company and MDA Space further discussed the MDA Space Revised Proposal, including MDA Space’s willingness to accept a fixed value calculation rather than an exchange ratio calculation, subject to a mutually agreeable collar. During this period, both parties, together with their respective legal and financial advisors, also engaged in multiple conversations and discussions regarding the liquidity of the MDA Space Shares.

On December 3, 2024, MDA Space delivered a further revised proposal (the “December 2024 Proposal”) to the Board, which implied an aggregate equity value for the Company of approximately $192 million, provided a 45-day go-shop following execution of a definitive agreement, and included a consideration mix of 40% cash and 60% MDA Space Shares. The December 2024 Proposal also contemplated exclusivity until February 3, 2025. The December 2024 Proposal continued to provide for the assumption or repayment by MDA Space of the Company’s debt.

Also on December 3, 2024, on behalf of MDA Space, representatives of Citi delivered an information request list to representatives of TD Cowen.  Later that day, the Special Committee held another meeting at which management presented the December 2024 Proposal received from MDA Space. The members of the Special Committee discussed the December 2024 Proposal with management and the Company’s advisors and decided to approve and recommend to the Audit Committee and the Board the approval of the December 2024 Proposal and the negotiation of a definitive transaction agreement based on the December 2024 Proposal.
37

Also on December 3, 2024, the Company retained Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co. (“GGS”) as transaction counsel to the Company.

On December 4, 2024, the Audit Committee convened and discussed the December 2024 Proposal with management. Mr. Leibovitch then recused himself from the meeting and the members of the Audit Committee further discussed the December 2024 Proposal. The Audit Committee approved and recommended that the Board approve the December 2024 Proposal and the negotiation of a definitive transaction agreement based on the December 2024 Proposal.

On December 5, 2024, the Board convened and discussed the December 2024 Proposal with management. Mr. Leibovitch and the MDA Space board observer then recused themselves from the meeting, and the Board further discussed the December 2024 Proposal. The Board determined to approve the December 2024 Proposal and the negotiation of a definitive transaction agreement based on the December 2024 Proposal.

Also on December 5, 2024, the Company returned to MDA Space a signed copy of the December 2024 Proposal and a non-disclosure agreement to facilitate the exchange of preliminary confidential information and enable MDA Space to commence its due diligence investigations.

During the week of December 9, 2024, the Company provided MDA Space and its advisors with access to a virtual data room and continued to collect information from various functions and respond to additional due diligence requests from MDA Space and its advisors.

Between December 10, 2024 and the time of the signing of the Merger Agreement, representatives of MDA Space and its advisors conducted business, financial, accounting and legal due diligence of the Company and held meetings with members of management. Additionally, in parallel with MDA Space’s due diligence review and negotiation of a definitive agreement in respect of the December 2024 Proposal, the Company continued discussing its ongoing commercial relationship with MDA Space and the various existing commercial agreements between the parties.

On December 14, 2024, NRF distributed to the Company and GGS an initial draft of the Merger Agreement.

Between December 15, 2024, and December 20, 2024, GGS prepared, with assistance and input from management and the Special Committee, a high-level issues list summarizing the material issues, from the Company’s perspective, raised by MDA Space’s initial draft of the Merger Agreement. On December 20, 2024, GGS sent the issues list to NRF. On December 22, 2024, representatives of GGS and NRF and Kleinhendler met via teleconference to discuss the high-level issues list.

At around this time, the Company informed MDA Space that it would not be permitted to enter into a definitive agreement with MDA Space without providing a core customer of the Company (the “Subject Customer”) with 20 days’ advance notice of the Company’s intent to enter into a definitive transaction agreement. The Company requested that MDA Space waive the confidentiality provisions contained in the December 2024 Proposal to permit the Company to so inform the Subject Customer. MDA Space advised that it believed that it was premature to provide such a waiver given the numerous commercial issues that remained outstanding in respect of the Merger Agreement and that MDA Space would be willing to provide such a waiver when the Merger Agreement was further advanced.
 
During this period, representatives of MDA Space continued their due diligence review of the Company and held various video conference information sessions for the benefit of MDA Space.

Between December 22, 2024 and the time of the signing of the Merger Agreement, the parties’ advisors, either alone or with representatives of MDA Space and the Company, met by video conference multiple times and exchanged drafts of the Merger Agreement and issues lists. Core topics of discussion included the representations and warranties being requested by MDA Space; the purchase price calculation formula; terms and conditions for a reduced termination during the go-shop period; non-solicitation provisions; breakup fees; interim covenants; certain closing conditions; treatment of equity awards; and certain tax matters.
38

On December 27, 2024, the Special Committee held a meeting to discuss the proposed response to MDA Space’s initial draft of the Merger Agreement. In addition to the members of the Special Committee, the meeting was attended by the Company’s management, representatives from Sullivan, GGS and Kleinhendler. The members of the Special Committee discussed the material issues raised by the revised draft of the Merger Agreement. Following discussions with our management, the Special Committee approved distributing the revised draft to MDA Space. GGS returned the revised draft of the Merger Agreement to NRF on December 27, 2024.

On January 5, 2025, and January 6, 2025, the Company’s senior management and representatives of GGS and Kleinhendler discussed the latest issues list, and GGS shared the issues list, together with the Company’s proposed responses, with the Special Committee.

The parties then agreed to meet starting January 14, 2025, in London, England at NRF’s offices to discuss and attempt to resolve the various outstanding issues under discussion between the parties. Prior to the meeting and after an exchange of further issues lists, on January 13, 2025, GGS sent to NRF a revised draft of the Merger Agreement, and NRF sent to GGS a revised draft of the representations and warranties schedules.

Representatives and advisors from the Company and MDA Space met in London on January 14, 2025, to discuss their respective approaches and key issues, including, among other matters, approaches to value, deal certainty, responding to potential competing offers, regulatory and other approvals and closing conditions. In particular, the Company advised that it continued to believe that certain concessions sought by MDA Space eroded the value offered for the Company. In addition, MDA Space advised the Company of certain commercial issues identified during its due diligence review that it wished to investigate further. The parties ended their January 14, 2025 negotiations agreeing to consider each other’s positions and reconvene in the morning.

On January 15, 2025 and January 16, 2025, the parties held a discussion on the proposed representation and warranties schedules to the Merger Agreement, after which the parties continued their commercial discussions. After further consideration, MDA Space advised that it was willing to revise its proposal to provide for all-cash consideration (the “January 2025 Proposal”) instead of the mixed cash and stock consideration previously offered. Representatives from the Company believed that this significantly enhanced the value of the December 2024 Proposal and provided certainty of value. The January 2025 Proposal assumed full acceleration of all in-the-money options and RSUs and, based on the Company’s calculation of its fully-diluted share capital, implied a purchase price of $2.09 per share. The parties agreed to proceed on the basis of the January 2025 Proposal.

On January 21, 2025, the Special Committee held a meeting, with members of management present, to discuss the key issues raised during the negotiations in London, and management updated the Special Committee on the status of the negotiations. The Special Committee provided management with guidance on certain of the remaining open points and requested that another meeting of the Special Committee be held after the Company’s representatives held further discussions with MDA Space regarding open negotiation items.

On February 11, 2025, the Board convened with members of the Company’s management, representatives of the Company’s legal advisors and representatives of TD Cowen. At the meeting, the Company’s management updated the members of the Board on the status of the negotiations with MDA Space. TD Cowen reviewed with the Board certain preliminary financial information in connection with MDA Space’s potential proposal.

On February 12, 2025, the Company and MDA Space agreed that, while there remained a number of important commercial terms to be settled between the parties, that, in order to avoid unnecessary delay, should such remaining commercial matters be resolved, it was appropriate for the Company to engage the Subject Customer that required 20 days’ advance notice before the Company could enter into a definitive agreement with MDA Space. Accordingly, MDA Space agreed to provide a limited waiver to the confidentiality provisions contained in its January 2025 Proposal so that the Company could provide such notice to the Subject Customer.  This side letter agreement, which was approved by the Special Committee and the Board in their respective meetings held on February 11,  2025, also (i) brought forward certain go-shop/no-shop provisions in the draft Merger Agreement and (ii) included a breakup fee in the event that the Company entered into a definitive agreement with the Subject Customer within the twelve (12)-month period following the date of the side letter agreement.
39


On February 12, 2025, the Company informed the Subject Customer of the MDA Space proposal and requested the Subject Customer’s waiver of certain of the Company’s confidentiality obligations in order to facilitate MDA Space’s due diligence review of certain Subject Customer documentation. On February 25, 2025, the Subject Customer agreed to such documentation being provided to MDA Space.

During the following weeks, MDA Space continued its due diligence review, and the Company and MDA Space continued to negotiate the Merger Agreement and ancillary documents and discuss open due diligence matters.

On March 20, 2025, the Company Negotiation Team, together with GGS and Kleinhendler, met with representatives of TD Cowen and discussed potential Go-Shop third parties that could potentially make an Acquisition Proposal, as well as the plan of engaging with any such Go-Shop third parties and the materials to be provided.

The parties continued to discuss the January 2025 Proposal and, at around this time, MDA Space agreed to further enhance its offer by increasing the purchase price to $2.10 per share.

On March 27, 2025, the Special Committee and the Audit Committee held their respective meetings, with members of management present, and with participation of the Company’s legal and financial advisors. During the meetings, the participants discussed the status of the negotiations, key transaction terms and remaining open issues. On the same day, the Compensation Committee also held a meeting to discuss the compensation-related aspects of the Merger Agreement.

On March 30, 2025, the Special Committee met again with management and the Company’s legal advisors to consider the terms of the Merger Agreement, and the Special Committee determined to recommend the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby to the Audit Committee and the Board, subject to finalization of the Merger Agreement and the receipt of certain deliverables by the Board. The Special Committee unanimously concluded that the proposed Merger would be fair to our shareholders and that entering into the Merger Agreement would be in the best interests of the Company, and recommended that the Audit Committee and the Board approve entering into the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, subject to finalization of the Merger Agreement and the receipt of certain deliverables by the Board.

Also on March 30, 2025, after the meeting of the Special Committee, the Audit Committee met again with management and the Company’s legal and financial advisors to consider the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Audit Committee determined to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, subject to finalization of the Merger Agreement and the receipt of certain deliverables by the Board.

The Audit Committee unanimously concluded that the proposed Merger would be fair to our shareholders and that entering into the Merger Agreement would be in the best interests of the Company, and recommended that the Board approve entering into the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, subject to finalization of the Merger Agreement and the receipt of certain deliverables by the Board. Thereafter, the Compensation Committee met again with management and the Company’s legal and financial advisors, and, after considering certain compensation-related aspects of the Merger Agreement, unanimously approved such matters.
40

On March 31, 2025, the Board met with management and the Company’s legal and financial advisors to consider the Merger Agreement and the Special Committee’s and Audit Committee’s recommendation.  In particular, the Board considered the terms of the Merger Agreement, the negotiations that had transpired since September 2024 and the various concessions received from MDA Space, the go-shop process permitted to be undertaken under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company’s trading price , management’s financial projections for the Company, the Company’s future prospects, including its ability to continue as a going concern and execute on its strategies absent the proposed Merger, potential alternatives available to the Company, and the other matters set forth under the section entitled “The Merger - Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Our Reasons for the Merger” below, beginning on page 41.  At this meeting, TD Cowen reviewed its preliminary financial analysis of the Merger Consideration with the Board.  In advance of this meeting, TD Cowen also provided for the Board a material relationships disclosure, which indicated no investment banking services to the Company unrelated to the Merger or to MDA Space during the approximately prior two-year period. After further discussion, the Board resolved to adjourn the meeting and reconvene the morning of the following day.

On April 1, 2025, the Board reconvened, with management and the Company’s legal and financial advisors in attendance. At this meeting, management and the Company’s legal counsel confirmed that there were no remaining outstanding points under the Merger Agreement, an execution version of which was provided to the Board.  Also at this meeting, TD Cowen reviewed its financial analysis of the Merger Consideration with the Board and delivered an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated April 1, 2025, to the Board to the effect that, as of such date and based on and subject to the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by TD Cowen as set forth in such opinion, the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Ordinary Shares (other than, as applicable, MDA Space, the Merger Subs, and their respective affiliates) pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.  After further discussion, the Board unanimously resolved: (a) that the Merger is fair to the shareholders; (b) the Merger and the entering into of the Merger Agreement is in the best interests of the Company; and (c) to recommend that our shareholders vote in favor of the Merger Proposal.

Before the open of markets on April 1, 2025, the Company and MDA Space announced the execution of the Merger Agreement.

On April 1, 2025, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and the MDA Space Affiliate entered into Amendment #3 to the Master Purchase Agreement (“Amendment #3”) to, among other things, increase the pre-purchase amount set forth in the Master Purchase Agreement by an additional amount of $5,500,000 (such amount as amended under Amendment #3, the “Pre-Purchase Amount”) which will be payable by the MDA Space Affiliate to the Company in three installments, in accordance with the following milestones: $2,000,000 upon signing of Merger Agreement; $2,500,000 following the later of the end of the Go-Shop Period or the end of the Matching Period if no definitive agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal is to be entered into and the Merger Agreement has not been terminated; and $1,000,000 within five days of MDA Space’s receipt of shareholder approval of the Merger and the Merger Agreement.

Additionally, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and the lenders party to the Credit Agreement entered into that certain Consent and Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement to record the lenders’ consent to the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement and to amend the Credit Agreement to provide, among other things, for the payment-in-kind of certain specified interest payments.

Recommendation of the Board and Reasons for the Merger
 
At its meeting on April 1, 2025, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee and following approval of the Audit Committee: (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders; (ii) adopted and approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) determined that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, and assuming, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of MDA Space and the Merger Subs in the Merger Agreement, no reasonable concern exists that, as a result of the Merger, the Company, as the surviving company, will be unable to fulfill its obligations to its creditors as a result of the Merger; and (iv) determined to recommend that shareholders approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The directors deemed to have a personal interest (as defined under the Companies Law) in the Merger Proposal did not participate in the vote adopting the foregoing resolutions. The Board (excluding directors who may be deemed to have a personal interest (as defined under the Companies Law) in the Merger Proposal) unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal.
41

 
The Board considered many factors in making its determination that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommending that shareholders approve the Merger Agreement, Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  In evaluating the Merger, the Board consulted with management and the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors and, in arriving at its determination, the Board considered a variety of factors weighing positively in favor of the Merger, including, but not limited to, the following:

 
Attractive Premium. The Board’s belief that the Merger Consideration of $2.10 in cash per Ordinary Share represents a full and fair value for the Ordinary Shares that provides our shareholders with the opportunity to receive a significant cash premium of approximately 52% over the 30-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Ordinary Shares on March 31, 2025, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Merger, and 218% over the trading price on the date of the initial MDA Space Proposal;
     
 
Immediate Liquidity. The fact that the proposed Merger Consideration is all cash, providing the Company’s shareholders with certainty of value and immediate liquidity for their Ordinary Shares relative to the uncertain prospect that the trading value for Ordinary Shares would approach the Merger Consideration in the foreseeable future, especially when considering the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business;
     
 
Company Business Risks. The Board’s familiarity with, and information provided by our management as to, our current and anticipated business condition, financial condition, results of operations, current business strategy and future prospects, as well as the risks involved in achieving those prospects and objectives under current competitive, industry, regulatory and market conditions, the nature of the markets in which we operate and our position in such markets and the potential impact of those factors on the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. The Board noted the challenges of continuing on the path of an independent public company, given ongoing business and liquidity risks, including the Company’s limited available capital and sources of capital compared to the Company’s large cash needs, our supply chain concerns and delays in bringing our products to market, ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, the high inflationary environment and that, absent a refinancing (which we may not be able to achieve on reasonable terms, if at all) there is a risk that we will be unable to pay our principal lender when our debt under the Credit Agreement becomes due in February 2026 (or earlier if we default under the Credit Agreement and are unable to negotiate further amendments or waivers). Given continued consolidation in the space industry and difficulties in accessing capital as a result of macroeconomic conditions, it is becoming increasingly challenging for smaller companies such as the Company to compete against larger industry participants with superior financial resources;

 
Trading Price. The volatility and range of trading prices seen in the Ordinary Shares, including the 90% decline since the Company’s de-SPAC transaction in 2022 and the limitations on the liquidity of the Ordinary Shares. In particular, there can be no assurance, absent completion of the Merger, that the price of our Ordinary Shares will return to the level of the Merger Consideration in the near term, if at all. As a stand-alone public company, the Company would need to resolve its liquidity and operational issues in a highly competitive and uncertain environment before its share price is likely to return to the level of the Merger Consideration. Executing on these goals is expected to take many years;
     
 
Most Favorable Offer. The Merger Agreement is the result of a rigorous negotiation process and includes terms and conditions the Board viewed as reasonable, with the oversight and participation of the Special Committee and Audit Committee and assistance of management and the Company’s legal and financial advisors. The Board believes that the Merger Consideration of $2.10 per Ordinary Share is more favorable to the Company’s shareholders than the potential value that might result from other alternatives reasonably available to the Company, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and the continued operation of Company on a stand-alone basis in light of a number of factors, including the risks and uncertainties associated with those alternatives;

42


 
Highest Consideration. The Board’s belief that the Merger Consideration represents the highest consideration that MDA Space was willing to pay as of the date of the Merger Agreement, with the Board basing this belief on the negotiations with MDA Space and a number of factors, including the implied premium described above, that the Merger Consideration represents a 133% enhancement to the initial MDA Space Proposal and, since the offer is all cash, certainty of value, and that the Board believes that any further negotiations with MDA Space could have caused delays or withdrawal of the offer;

 
Limited Closing Conditions. The fact that the Merger Agreement contains limited and customary closing conditions which the Board believes are reasonable in the circumstances, including: (i) the absence of any financing conditions or related contingencies with respect to the Merger Consideration; (ii) the expectation that regulatory approvals are likely to be obtained, based on the analysis performed in this respect; and (iii) that MDA Space is not required to obtain shareholder approval for the Merger;
     
 
Special Committee Oversight. The negotiation of the Merger Agreement was overseen and directed by the Special Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors. The Special Committee and the Board were advised by highly qualified financial and legal advisors. The Merger Agreement was unanimously recommended to the Board by the Special Committee and Audit Committee;
     
 
Audit Committee. The approval of the Merger by the Audit Committee (in light of certain personal interests of certain of our executive officers and directors in the approval of the Merger) and recommendation by the Special Committee, prior to being considered by the Board;

 
Available Alternatives. The Board considered possible alternatives to the acquisition by MDA Space that were reasonably available to us, including our continued operation as a stand-alone company, the potential benefits to our shareholders of these alternatives and the Board’s assessment that none of these alternatives were reasonably likely to create greater value for our shareholders within a reasonable period of time, taking into account risks of execution as well as market, industry, financial, business and competitive risks;
     
 
No Competing Offers. The fact that the Company had not received any written proposals from any potentially interested parties other than MDA Space as of the date of the Merger Agreement;
     
 
Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor.  The financial presentation and opinion of TD Cowen, dated April 1, 2025, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Ordinary Shares (other than, as applicable, MDA Space, Merger Subs, and their respective affiliates) pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which opinion was based on and subject to the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by TD Cowen set forth in such opinion, as more fully described in the section entitled “ - Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 47;

 
Voting Support Agreements with Significant Supporting Securityholders. Significant shareholders who collectively hold approximately 57% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares entered into Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to irrevocably vote in favor of the Merger, which significantly reduces deal uncertainty;

43


 
Go-Shop and Superior Proposal. The Board retains the ability to solicit Acquisition Proposals during the Go-Shop Period and the Merger Agreement does not prevent a third party from making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal during or after the Go-Shop Period. Subject to compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Board has the ability to seek superior offers and is not precluded from considering or responding to an Acquisition Proposal at any time prior to the approval of the Merger by the Company’s shareholders, enabling the Company, subject to compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, including MDA Space’s right to match any third-party offer, to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal;
     
 
Identity of MDA Space. The Board’s belief that MDA Space is an attractive counterparty with which to transact and in particular the comfort the Board has with MDA Space’s ability to close the Merger and its ability to obtain the required regulatory approvals in connection with the Merger, including the Company’s familiarity with MDA Space, MDA Space’s value proposition, MDA Space’s position in its market, and MDA Space’s financial position. The Board also considered that the Merger is otherwise expected to benefit the Company and its stakeholders, with MDA Space’s financial resources and subject matter expertise expected to overcome the near-term challenges faced by the Company as a result of limited liquidity and access to capital;

 
 Obligations to Creditors. As required under the Companies Law in connection with the approval of the Merger, the Board considered the financial position of the merging companies, and assuming, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of MDA Space and Merger Subs in the Merger Agreement, determined that no reasonable concern exists that the Company, as the surviving company, will be unable to fulfill its obligations to its creditors as a result of the Merger;
     
 
Shareholder Vote. The fact that the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed) and voting on the Merger Proposal (not taking into consideration abstentions or broker non-votes) is necessary for the approval of the Merger Proposal, subject to the requirement that either (A) the Ordinary Shares voting in favor of the Merger Proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted by shareholders who are neither the Company’s controlling shareholders nor shareholders who have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal, or (B) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by non-controlling shareholders or anyone acting on their behalf and by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the Merger Proposal that voted against the Merger Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company; and
     
 
Timing. The fact that the Merger will result in detailed public disclosure and a substantial period of time prior to the convening of the Special Meeting to consider the approval and adoption of the Merger Proposal during which a competing proposal could be brought forth.

The Board also considered a number of other matters, some of which are countervailing factors and risks to us and our shareholders, relating to the Merger and the Merger Agreement, including the following:

 
Completion Risk. The possibility that the Merger may not be completed and the potential adverse consequences to us if the Merger is not completed, including the potential (i) loss of customers, suppliers and employees; (ii) reduction in our value; (iii) erosion of customer and employee confidence in us; and (iv) cost to us of pursuing the Merger and the temporary diversion of management;
     
 
Business Limits. The limitations imposed in the Merger Agreement on the conduct of our business during the pre-Closing period, our ability to solicit (after the Go-Shop Period) competing proposals, and the ability of the Board to change or withdraw its recommendation of the Merger;

44


 
Breakup Fee. The Board noted the possibility that the termination or breakup fee provisions of the Merger Agreement could have the effect of discouraging competing proposals for a business combination between us and a third party, but that such provisions are customary for transactions of this size and type. The Board considered that the amounts of the (i) termination fee, which amount is equal to $10 million, or approximately 5.2% of the equity value of the Company (or a reduced amount of $5 million, or approximately 2.6% of the equity value in case of our receipt of a Superior Proposal during the Go-Shop Period and entry into a definitive agreement with respect thereto immediately following the Matching Period), and (ii) the breakup fee, which amount is equal to $10 million, or approximately 5.2% of the equity value of the Company, are each within a reasonable range;

 
No Longer a Public Company. If the Merger is consummated, holders of our Ordinary Shares will receive the Merger Consideration in cash, we will no longer exist as an independent company, and accordingly, our shareholders will no longer participate in any future earnings or growth we may experience or any potential future appreciation in the value of our Ordinary Shares, and will not participate in any potential future sale of our business to a third party;
     
 
Personal Interests. The additional interests of certain members of the Board (namely, Mr. Yoav Leibovitch and Mr. Richard Davis) and certain shareholders of the Company (namely, Ms. Simona Gat, Endurance Antarctica Partners, LLC and certain affiliates of Francisco Partners L.P.), as described in the section entitled “The Merger - Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal” beginning on page 53; and
     
 
Other Risks. The risks of the type and nature described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 21, and the matters described under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 20.

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes the material factors considered by the Board. The Board collectively: (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders; (ii) adopted and approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) determined that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, and assuming, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of MDA Space and the Merger Subs in the Merger Agreement, no reasonable concern exists that, as a result of the Merger, the Company, as the surviving company, will be unable to fulfill its obligations to its creditors as a result of the Merger; and (iv) determined to recommend that shareholders approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. In view of the many factors considered by the Board in connection with its evaluation of the Merger and the complexity of these matters, the Board did not consider it practical, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative or specific weights or values to any of the factors it considered in reaching its decision and did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to the ultimate determination of the Board. Rather, the Board considered all of these factors as a whole and made its recommendation based on the totality of the information available to the Board. In considering the factors discussed above, individual members of the Board may have given different weights to different factors and the factors are not presented in any order of priority.

This explanation of the Board’s reasons to recommend that our shareholders vote in favor of the Merger Proposal presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors described in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 20.

Certain Financial Projections

The Company’s management does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future performance or earnings and is especially wary of making projections for extended periods given the significant unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, the Company provided, among other information, certain financial projections prepared by the Company’s management to the Special Committee and the Board in connection with their evaluation of the Merger and to the Company’s financial advisor, TD Cowen, for its use and reliance in connection with its analysis and opinion as more fully described under “ - Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 47. The Financial Projections also were made available to MDA Space and its financial advisor. We refer to these financial projections as the Financial Projections.

45

The Financial Projections reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to the Company’s business, including supply and demand trends and the status of, and expected revenues from, products and services, pricing of the Company’s products, trends impacting payroll and other costs, inflation and currency fluctuations, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Financial Projections are subjective in many respects and thus are subject to periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As such, the Financial Projections constitute forward-looking information and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the various risks set forth in this Proxy Statement, in our Form 20-F and the other reports furnished by the Company to the SEC. The Financial Projections are unaudited and were developed solely in connection with the evaluation of the Merger and should be read together with the historical financial statements of the Company, which have been filed with or furnished to the SEC and incorporated in this Proxy Statement, and the other information regarding the Company contained elsewhere or incorporated in this Proxy Statement. For more information, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 85. The Financial Projections cover multiple years and such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.

The Financial Projections were prepared solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, or the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections. The Financial Projections included below were prepared by the Company’s management. None of the Company’s independent advisors has compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Financial Projections included below, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the Financial Projections. Certain of the measures included in the Financial Projections may be considered non-IFRS financial measures. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and non-IFRS financial measures as used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies.

The Financial Projections are based solely upon information available to the Company’s management as of the date on which they were prepared and estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management as of such date. In addition, in order to achieve the Financial Projections, the Company’s management assumed that the Company would undertake an equity financing in the aggregate amount of $50 million for the Company to raise necessary significant additional capital, including for the restructuring of its existing debt. The Financial Projections do not give effect to the Merger, including the impact of negotiating or executing the Merger Agreement, the expenses that have been and may be incurred in connection with consummating the Merger, the potential synergies that may be achieved as a  result of the Merger, the effect on the Company of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Merger Agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions that may have been taken had the Merger Agreement not been executed, but were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the Merger. Further, the Financial Projections do not take into account the effect on the Company of any possible failure of the Merger to occur or any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which they were prepared.

For the foregoing reasons and considering that the Special Meeting will be held several months after the Financial Projections were prepared, readers of this Proxy Statement are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Financial Projections set forth below. The inclusion of the Financial Projections in this Proxy Statement should not be regarded as an indication that any of the Company, MDA Space, the Merger Subs or their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or representatives considered or consider the Financial Projections to necessarily be predictive of actual future events, and the Financial Projections should not be relied upon as such. None of the Company, MDA Space, the Merger Subs or their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or representatives can give any assurance that actual results will not differ from the Financial Projections, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile the Financial Projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date on which they were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Financial Projections are shown not to be appropriate. The Company does not intend to make publicly available any update or other revisions to the Financial Projections, except as required by law. None of the Company, MDA Space, the Merger Subs or their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or representatives has made or makes any representation to any shareholder regarding the Financial Projections or the ultimate performance of the Company compared to the information contained in the Financial Projections or that forecasted results will necessarily be achieved.

Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor

 The Company has engaged TD Cowen as its financial advisor in connection with the Merger.  As part of this engagement, the Board requested that TD Cowen evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Ordinary Shares (other than, as applicable, MDA Space, Merger Subs, and their respective affiliates) pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  At a meeting of the Board held on April 1, 2025, TD Cowen reviewed with the Board TD Cowen’s financial analysis of the Merger Consideration and delivered an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated April 1, 2025, to the Board to the effect that, as of such date and based on and subject to the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by TD Cowen as set forth in such opinion, the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Ordinary Shares (other than, as applicable, MDA Space, Merger Subs, and their respective affiliates) pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

The full text of TD Cowen’s written opinion, dated April 1, 2025, which describes various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by TD Cowen, is annexed as Annex B to this Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.  The summary of TD Cowen’s written opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.  TD Cowen’s analyses and opinion were prepared for and addressed to the Board and were directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration.  TD Cowen’s opinion did not in any manner address the Company’s underlying business decision to effect the Merger or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company.  The Merger Consideration was determined through negotiations between the Company and MDA Space and TD Cowen’s opinion did not constitute a recommendation to the Board on whether or not to approve the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any securityholder or any other person as to how to vote or act with respect to the Merger or otherwise.

47

In connection with its opinion, TD Cowen reviewed and considered such financial and other matters as it deemed relevant, including, among other things:


an execution version, provided to TD Cowen on April 1, 2025, of the Merger Agreement;


certain publicly available financial and other information for the Company and certain other relevant financial and operating data furnished to TD Cowen by the management of the Company;


certain internal financial forecasts, estimates and other information concerning the Company provided by the management of the Company;


discussions TD Cowen had with certain members of the management of the Company concerning the historical and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company and such other matters that TD Cowen deemed relevant;


certain operating results of, and financial and stock market information for, the Company and certain other publicly traded companies that TD Cowen deemed relevant;


certain financial terms of the First Merger as compared to the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain business combinations that TD Cowen deemed relevant; and


such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and such other factors that TD Cowen deemed relevant for the purposes of its opinion.

In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, TD Cowen, at the direction of the Board, assumed and relied, without independent investigation, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information provided to TD Cowen by the Company or that was publicly available or was otherwise reviewed by TD Cowen.  TD Cowen did not undertake any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or reasonableness, or independent verification, of any such information.  TD Cowen relied upon the representations of the Company that all information provided to TD Cowen by the Company was accurate and complete in all material respects and TD Cowen expressly disclaimed any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting its opinion of which TD Cowen becomes aware after the date of TD Cowen’s opinion.

TD Cowen was advised, and assumed, that the financial forecasts, estimates and other information concerning the Company that TD Cowen was directed to utilize for purposes of its analyses and opinion were reasonably prepared by the management of the Company on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of such management as to the future performance of the Company and the other matters covered thereby, and that such financial forecasts, estimates and other information provided a reasonable basis for its analyses and opinion.  TD Cowen relied on the assessments of the management of the Company as to, among other things, (i) the Company’s development and manufacturing of chips and digital satellite communications systems, its technology and other intellectual property and proprietary rights, including the viability of and risks associated with such technology and other intellectual property, and the trends and developments in the digital satellite communications industry impacting the Company and its business and operations and (ii) the liquidity needs of, and capital resources available to, the Company and contemplated financings expected to be undertaken by the Company to obtain the capital resources necessary for its business and operations, including the aggregate amount and timing of such financings.  TD Cowen assumed that there would be no developments with respect to any such matters that would have an adverse effect on the Company or the Merger or that otherwise would be meaningful in any respect to TD Cowen’s analyses or opinion.  TD Cowen expressed no opinion as to the financial forecasts, estimates and other information utilized in TD Cowen’s analyses or the assumptions on which they were based.
48

In addition, TD Cowen assumed that there had been no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of the Company since the dates of the last financial statements made available to TD Cowen.  TD Cowen did not make or obtain any independent evaluations, valuations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities (contingent, accrued, derivative, off-balance sheet or otherwise) of the Company or any other entity, nor was TD Cowen furnished with such materials.  TD Cowen did not conduct nor did TD Cowen assume any obligation to conduct any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of the Company or any other entity.  TD Cowen also did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of the Company or any other entity under any state, federal or foreign laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.  In addition, TD Cowen did not undertake an independent evaluation of any actual or potential litigation, settlements, governmental or regulatory proceedings or investigations, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities to which the Company or any other entity may be a party or subject.  TD Cowen’s opinion did not address any legal, tax, accounting or regulatory matters related to the Merger Agreement or the Merger, as to which TD Cowen assumed that the Company and the Board received such advice from legal, tax, accounting and regulatory advisors as each determined appropriate.

TD Cowen’s opinion addressed only the fairness of the Merger Consideration (to the extent expressly specified therein) from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, without regard to individual circumstances of specific holders of the Company (whether by virtue of control, voting or consent, liquidity, contractual arrangements, vesting of shares or otherwise) that may distinguish such holders or the securities of the Company held by such holders, and TD Cowen’s opinion did not in any way address proportionate allocation or relative fairness among such holders, holders of any other securities of the Company or otherwise.  TD Cowen expressed no view as to any other aspect or implication of the Merger, including, without limitation, any voting and support agreement, vesting of price adjustment shares or other securities of the Company or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the Merger or otherwise.  TD Cowen’s opinion was necessarily based upon economic and market conditions and other circumstances as they existed and could be evaluated by TD Cowen on the date of such opinion.  It should be understood that although subsequent developments may affect TD Cowen’s opinion, TD Cowen does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion and TD Cowen expressly disclaimed any responsibility to do so.  As the Board was aware, the industry in which the Company operates and the Company’s business and securities have experienced and may continue to experience volatility and disruptions, and TD Cowen expressed no view as to any potential effects of such volatility or disruptions on the Company or the Merger.

TD Cowen did not consider any potential legislative or regulatory changes currently being considered or recently enacted by the United States or any foreign government, or any domestic or foreign regulatory body, or any changes in accounting methods or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any similar foreign regulatory body or board. In connection with its engagement, TD Cowen was not requested to, and did not, solicit third-party indications of interest in all or a part of the Company; however, as permitted by the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Board has requested that TD Cowen solicit third-party indications of interest in the Company during a specified period following announcement of the proposed Merger in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement.

For purposes of rendering its opinion, TD Cowen assumed in all respects relevant to its analyses that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Merger Agreement were true and correct, that each party would perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the Merger Agreement and that all conditions to the consummation of the Merger would be satisfied without waiver thereof.  TD Cowen also assumed that the final form of the Merger Agreement would be substantially similar to the execution version reviewed by TD Cowen.  TD Cowen further assumed that all governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals contemplated by the Merger Agreement would be obtained and that in the course of obtaining any such consents or approvals no restrictions would be imposed or waivers made that would have an adverse effect on the Company or the Merger.  In addition, TD Cowen assumed that the Merger would be consummated in a manner that complies with the provisions of applicable securities laws and all other applicable state, federal or foreign statutes, rules and regulations.
49

It was understood that TD Cowen’s opinion was intended for the benefit and use of the Board (in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Merger Consideration.  TD Cowen’s opinion did not constitute a recommendation to the Board on whether or not to approve the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any securityholder or any other person as to how to vote or act with respect to the Merger or otherwise.  TD Cowen expressed no opinion as to the actual value, price or trading range of Ordinary Shares or any other securities of the Company following announcement or consummation of the Merger.  TD Cowen was not requested to opine as to, and its opinion did not in any manner address, the Company’s underlying business decision to effect the Merger or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company.  In addition, TD Cowen was not requested to opine as to, and its opinion did not in any manner address, (i) the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to the officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, of any parties to the Merger relative to the Merger Consideration or otherwise, (ii) the fairness of the Merger Consideration (other than as expressly specified in TD Cowen’s opinion) or the Merger to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or (iii) whether MDA Space or Merger Subs have sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of funds for the payment of the Merger Consideration at the closing of the Merger.

Financial Analyses

The summary of the principal financial analyses described below under this heading “—Financial Analyses” is a summary of the material financial analyses performed by TD Cowen to arrive at its opinion.  Some of the summaries of TD Cowen’s financial analyses include information presented in tabular format.  In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary.  The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses.  Considering the data set forth in the tables without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses.  TD Cowen performed certain procedures, including each of the financial analyses described below, and reviewed with the Board certain assumptions on which such analyses were based and other factors, including the historical and projected financial results of the Company. All dollar amounts reflected in the financial analyses summarized below are in U.S. dollars.

Selected Public Companies Analysis.  TD Cowen reviewed selected financial and stock market information of the Company and the following ten publicly traded companies with operations in the space and satellite communications industry that TD Cowen considered generally relevant for purposes of analysis (collectively, the “selected companies”):


AST SpaceMobile, Inc.

BlackSky Technology Inc.

Intuitive Machines, Inc.

MDA Space Ltd.

Planet Labs PBC

Redwire Corporation

Rocket Lab USA, Inc.

SES S.A.

Spire Global, Inc.

Viasat, Inc.

TD Cowen reviewed, among other information, enterprise values, calculated as implied equity values based on closing stock prices on March 31, 2025 plus total debt and debt-like items, preferred equity and minority interests (as applicable), less cash and cash equivalents, as multiples of calendar year 2025 and calendar year 2026 estimated revenue.  Financial data of the selected companies were based on publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ estimates, public filings and other publicly available information.  Financial and other data of the Company were based on financial forecasts, estimates and other information concerning the Company provided by the Company’s management, public filings and other publicly available information.

The overall low to high calendar year 2025 and calendar year 2026 estimated revenue multiples observed for the selected companies were 1.5x to 17.9x (with a mean of 4.5x and a median of 2.4x) and 1.5x to 23.1x (with a mean of 5.3x and a median of 1.9x), respectively.  TD Cowen applied selected ranges of calendar year 2025 and calendar year 2026 estimated revenue multiples derived from the selected companies of 2.5x to 3.5x and 2.0x to 3.0x, respectively, to corresponding data of the Company.
50


This analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference ranges for the Company, as compared to the Merger Consideration:

Implied Equity Value Per Share Reference Ranges
Based On:
 
Calendar Year 2025 Estimated Revenue   Calendar Year 2026 Estimated Revenue
  Merger Consideration
$0.08 – $0.38
 
$0.77 – $1.47
 
$2.10

Although the selected companies were used for comparison purposes, none of those companies is directly comparable to the Company.  Accordingly, an analysis of the results of such a comparison is not purely mathematical, but instead involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in historical and projected financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values of the selected companies or the Company.

Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis. TD Cowen reviewed financial data relating to the following 12 selected transactions involving target companies or businesses with operations in the space and satellite communications industry that TD Cowen considered generally relevant for purposes of analysis (collectively, the “selected transactions”):

TD Cowen reviewed transaction values, based on the consideration paid or payable in the selected transactions plus total debt and debt-like items, preferred equity and minority interests (as applicable), less cash and cash equivalents, as a multiple of the latest 12 months revenue of the target companies or businesses involved in such transactions as of the announcement date of the applicable selected transaction.  Financial data of the selected transactions were based on public filings and other publicly available information.  Financial and other data of the Company were based on financial forecasts, estimates and other information concerning the Company provided by the Company’s management, public filings and other publicly available information.

The overall low to high latest 12 months revenue multiples observed for the selected transactions were 1.5x to 8.5x (with a mean of 3.4x and a median of 2.6x).  TD Cowen applied a selected range of latest 12 months revenue multiples derived from the selected transactions of 2.0x to 4.0x to the latest 12 months (as of December 31, 2024) revenue of the Company.
51

This analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Company, as compared to the Merger Consideration:

Implied Equity Value
Per Share Reference Range
 
 
Merger Consideration
$0.00 - $0.25
 
$2.10

Although the selected transactions were used for comparison purposes, none of those transactions or companies or businesses involved in those transactions is directly comparable to the Merger or the Company.  Accordingly, an analysis of the results of such a comparison is not purely mathematical, but instead involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in historical and projected financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition or other values of such transactions or the companies or businesses involved in such transactions.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.  TD Cowen performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company by calculating the estimated present value of the standalone unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that the Company was forecasted to generate during fiscal years ending December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2029 based on financial forecasts, estimates and other information concerning the Company provided by the Company’s management.  For purposes of this analysis, the Company’s estimated net operating losses and an assumed $50 million equity financing per the Company’s management were taken into account.  TD Cowen calculated implied terminal values for the Company by applying to the Company’s fiscal year 2029 estimated revenue a selected range of terminal revenue multiples of 2.5x to 3.5x.  The present values (as of December 31, 2024) of the cash flows and terminal values were then calculated using a selected range of discount rates of 17.75% to 19.75%.

This analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Company, as compared to the Merger Consideration:

Implied Equity Value
Per Share Reference Range
 
Merger Consideration
$1.29 – $2.18
 
$2.10

Certain Additional Information

TD Cowen also observed certain additional information that was not considered part of its financial analyses with respect to its opinion but was noted for informational purposes, including historical closing prices of the Ordinary Shares during the 52-week period ended March 31, 2025, which indicated low and high closing prices of the Ordinary Shares of $0.52 per share and $2.00 per share, respectively.

Miscellaneous

The summary set forth above does not purport to be a complete description of all the analyses performed by TD Cowen.  The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.  TD Cowen did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor.  Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors summarized above, TD Cowen believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion.  In performing its analyses, TD Cowen made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.  The analyses performed by TD Cowen are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses.  In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities may actually be sold.  Accordingly, such analyses and estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and are based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors.  None of the Company, TD Cowen or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those projected.  The analyses performed by TD Cowen and its opinion were only one among many factors taken into consideration by the Board in evaluating the Merger Consideration and should not be considered as determinative of the views of the Board or the Company’s management with respect to the Merger, the consideration payable in the Merger or otherwise.

52

TD Cowen was selected by the Company to act as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Merger because TD Cowen is a nationally recognized investment banking firm and because, as part of its investment banking business, TD Cowen is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes.

TD Cowen is acting as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Merger and will receive from the Company for such services an aggregate fee currently estimated to be approximately US$4 million, of which a portion was payable in connection with TD Cowen’s opinion regardless of the conclusion reached therein and approximately US$3.5 million is payable contingent upon consummation of the Merger.  In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse TD Cowen’s expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, and to indemnify TD Cowen for certain liabilities, including liabilities under federal and other securities laws, that may arise out of TD Cowen’s engagement.

As the Board was aware, although TD Cowen as of the date of its opinion was not providing, and during the two years preceding the date of its opinion had not provided, financial advisory and/or investment banking services to the Company unrelated to the Merger or to MDA Space for which TD Cowen or its affiliates have received compensation, TD Cowen in the future may provide services to the Company, MDA Space and/or their respective affiliates and would expect to receive compensation for such services, if provided.

TD Cowen and its affiliates provide investment and commercial banking, lending, asset management and other financial and non-financial services to a wide range of corporations and individuals and, as part of their investment banking business, are continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes.  In the ordinary course of business, TD Cowen and/or its affiliates or employees hold or at any time may hold long or short positions, and trade or may trade or otherwise effect transactions, in debt, equity, equity-linked and/or other securities or loans of the Company, MDA Space and/or their respective affiliates for the accounts of TD Cowen and/or its affiliates or employees and for the accounts of customers.  As of March 31, 2025, TD Cowen and/or its affiliates ​held, for their own account, ​warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (which warrants were out-of-the money at March 31, 2025) ​and less than 1% of MDA Space common shares outstanding at March 31, 2025 with an aggregate value of approximately $4.5 million based on the closing price of MDA Space common shares and applicable exchange rate on March 31, 2025. TD Cowen and its affiliates also conduct research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of business, provide research reports and investment advice to their clients on investment matters, including matters with respect to the Merger or the Company, MDA Space and/or their respective affiliates.  The issuance of TD Cowen’s opinion was approved by TD Cowen’s fairness opinion review committee.

Interests of our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal

When considering the recommendation of the Board to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that certain of our directors and executive officers have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our other shareholders generally (for purposes hereof, our directors and executive officers are those individuals listed under “Item 6. – A. Directors and Senior Management” of the Form 20-F). The Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Merger, in determining to approve the Merger Agreement and all other transactions contemplated thereby and in recommending to shareholders that they approve the Merger, the Merger Agreement and all other transactions contemplated thereby. Further, in determining to approve the Merger Proposal, the Board considered the approval of the Compensation Committee of certain of the foregoing arrangements and their recommendations for the Board to approve such arrangements. The directors with a personal interest did not participate in the consideration and approval of the Merger Proposal.

These interests include the following:

Price Adjustment Shares. In connection with the Merger, certain members of the Board (namely, Mr. Yoav Leibovitch and Mr. Richard Davis) and certain shareholders of the Company (namely, Ms. Simona Gat, Endurance Antarctica Partners, LLC and certain affiliates of Francisco Partners L.P.) have informed the Board of their personal interest in approval of the Merger Proposal due to their respective holdings of Price Adjustment Shares. Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement, which were already duly approved on February 14, 2022, and October 31, 2023, respectively, the Price Adjustment Shares vest upon the trading price of the Ordinary Shares meeting certain price targets or upon a change of control in the Company. The closing of the Merger would constitute such a change of control. In addition, any shareholder of the Company as of the Record Date who is employed full time by the Company will be considered as having personal interest in approval of the Merger Proposal.

53

Below is the number of Price Adjustment Shares held by the holders thereof.


Mr. Yoav Leibovitch – 18,000,000;

Ms. Simona Gat – 9,000,000;

Endurance Antarctica Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor”) – 500,000; and

Affiliates of Francisco Partners L.P. – 1,000,000.

Mr. Davis shares voting and investment control over Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor by virtue of his shared control of the Sponsor.

The Price Adjustment Shares vest upon three price adjustment achievement dates: (i) one-third of the Price Adjustment Shares will vest if at any time within 30 days after the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-268510), as amended, filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC on January 23, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”) and within the 10-year period following the closing of the Business Combination Agreement (the “BC Closing”), the VWAP of our Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any seven trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days; (ii) one-third of the Price Adjustment Shares will vest if at any time within 30 days after the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement and within the 10-year period following the BC Closing, the VWAP of our Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $14.00 for any seven trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days; and (iii) one-third of the Price Adjustment Shares will vest if at any time within 30 days after the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement and within the 10-year period following the BC Closing, the VWAP of our Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $15.50 for any seven trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days.
 
The Ordinary Share price targets will be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalization, reclassifications, combinations, exchanges of shares and other similar changes or transactions to our Ordinary Shares occurring on or after the BC Closing. In the event of a Company change in control transaction within 10 years following the BC Closing, all of the unvested Price Adjustment Shares not earlier vested will vest immediately prior to the closing of such change in control. If the Price Adjustment Shares do not vest according to the achievement dates in the Business Combination Agreement, or if a change of control has not occurred after the BC Closing and prior to the date that is 10 years following the BC Closing, then any unvested Price Adjustment Shares will automatically be forfeited back to us for no consideration.

Compensation to RaySat, Mr. Leibovitch’s Service Company. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company will be required to terminate, effective as of the Effective Time, the engagement of all members of the Board (other than members of the Board that MDA Space identifies it desires to remain in such capacity). Under a services agreement with RaySat (“RaySat”), a company through which Mr. Leibovitch provides his services as executive Chairman of the Board, RaySat will, if its agreement with the Company is terminated, be entitled to receive an amount equal to six months’ compensation plus value-added tax (VAT), which will be paid immediately following the closing of the Merger. The agreement with RaySat and various amendments thereto were duly approved by the Board and the shareholders.

Acceleration of Equity Awards. At the Effective Time, each unexercised “in-the-money” option to acquire Ordinary Shares that is outstanding under any of the Company’s stock equity plans, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will, by virtue of the First Merger, be converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (without interest) equal to the product of : (a) the excess of  $2.10 over the exercise price per Ordinary Share for such option; and (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares underlying such option, less applicable withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

54

Additionally, each Ordinary Share that is outstanding under any of the Company’s stock equity plans subject to vesting, repurchase, or other lapse of restrictions (including any RSUs)  will, by virtue of the First Merger, vest in full and become free of restrictions and will be treated as an Ordinary Share that will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $2.10 less applicable withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

As of March 31, 2025, our directors and executive officers held RSUs that will be accelerated as described above and converted into the right to receive an aggregate amount equal to $3,405,156, subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes (all outstanding options to acquire Ordinary Shares that are “in-the-money” and are held by our directors and executive officers were fully vested as of March 31, 2025, and will not need to be accelerated).

Indemnification and Insurance. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MDA Space has agreed that, after the Effective Time, (a) all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation by the Company existing in favor of each individual who is, or has been at any time prior to the date of the Merger Agreement or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of ours or of any of our subsidiaries will remain in effect in accordance with their terms for a period of seven years from the Effective Time; and (b) it will cause the Company as the surviving entity to acquire and maintain in effect, a liability insurance policy that provides coverage with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time, with a claims period of seven years from the Effective Time, and coverage and terms and conditions that are substantially equivalent to and in any event not less advantageous than our current directors’ and officers’ liability policies, subject to certain premium caps.

Anticipated Date of Completion of the Merger

We are working towards completing the Merger as quickly as reasonably possible and expect to complete it during the third quarter of 2025. However, several conditions must be satisfied or waived before the Merger is completed. See the section entitled “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 79 for a summary description of these conditions. Because the Merger is subject to receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals and other conditions, some of which are beyond the parties’ control, the exact timing for the completion of the Merger cannot be predicted with certainty.

No Appraisal Rights

Under Israeli law, holders of Ordinary Shares are not entitled to appraisal rights or similar rights of dissenters in connection with the Merger.  

Regulatory Matters

The consummation of the Merger is conditioned on the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and the parties complying with certain filing requirements in certain jurisdictions, as follows:

Approval under the NSI Act. Receipt of approval under the National Security and Investment Act 2021 of the United Kingdom from the UK Investment Securities Unit.

Bulgaria Foreign Direct Investment Approval. Receipt of approval of a foreign direct investment under the Bulgarian Investment Promotion Act, as amended from time to time, on terms acceptable to MDA Space, acting reasonably and in good faith, may be required if certain conditions described in the Merger Agreement exist prior to the closing of the Merger.
55

Israeli Registrar of Companies. The Company and the Merger Subs may not complete the Merger without first making the following filings and notifications to the Companies Registrar: (i) the filing of a merger proposal by each of the Merger Subs and the Company with the Companies Registrar; (ii) notice of the filing of the merger proposals to secured creditors (which is inapplicable to the Merger Subs) and substantial creditors (which is inapplicable to the Merger Subs); (iii) notice to creditors through publication in newspapers; (iv) notice to workers; (v) notices to the Companies Registrar of notices to creditors by each of the Merger Subs and the Company; and (vi) notices to the Companies Registrar of the approval of the Merger by each of the merging companies’ shareholders, which will be filed promptly following receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval.

After the shareholders’ vote, each of the Company and the Merger Subs must file a notice with the Companies Registrar regarding the approval of the Merger Proposal within three days of the Special Meeting and the shareholder meetings of the Merger Subs, respectively.
 
Assuming that the shareholders approve the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting (and all the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement have been satisfied) and all of the statutory procedures and requirements have been complied with, and so long as least 30 days have elapsed after the approval of the Merger Proposal and at least 50 days have passed from the date of the filing of the merger proposals with the Companies Registrar, each of the First Merger and the Second Merger will become effective upon the issuance of a certificate of merger following a request by the Company and Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 (as applicable), and upon request the Companies Registrar will be required to register each of the First Merger and the Second Merger in the companies’ registers.

Israeli Options Tax Ruling
 
The Company and MDA Space have agreed to file with the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”) an application for a tax ruling regarding (i) Company options and RSUs that are subject to tax pursuant to Section 102 and Ordinary Shares that are subject to tax pursuant to Section 102 (“Section 102”) of the Israeli Tax Ordinance 5721 – 1961 (the “Israeli Tax Ordinance”, and such ruling the “Options Tax Ruling”), as defined and discussed below in the section entitled “The Merger - Material Israel Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 60 and the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Options Tax Ruling and Interim Tax Ruling” beginning on page 78.
 
Notice to Creditors
 
Pursuant to the Companies Law, a notification of the Merger must be sent to the secured creditors of each merging company within three days after the applicable merging company’s merger proposal was filed with the Companies Registrar and, within four business days of such filing, known substantial creditors must be informed individually by registered mail of such filing and where the merger proposal can be reviewed. Non‑secured creditors must be informed of the Merger by publication in two daily newspapers in Israel on the day that the applicable merger proposal is submitted to the Companies Registrar and, with respect to the Company, in one daily newspaper in New York within three business days of the date that the Company’s merger proposal is filed with the Companies Registrar. Both merging companies will notify their respective creditors of the Merger in accordance with these requirements, to the extent applicable. Both merging companies will notify the Companies Registrar of the notices given to their respective creditors.

Voting Support Agreements
 
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Yoav Leibovitch, Simona Gat, Endurance Antarctica Partners, LLC, FP Credit Partners, L.P., FP Credit Partners Phoenix, L.P., FP Credit Partners II, L.P. and FP Credit Partners Phoenix II, L.P., who owned 21,903,349, 16,186,297, 5,673,849, 862,914, 216,430, 4,632,223, and 224,842 Ordinary Shares, respectively, representing 25.2%, 18.6%, 6.5%, 1.0%, 0.3%, 5.3%, and 0.3%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of March 31, 2025, have entered into voting support agreements with MDA Space (the “Voting Support Agreements”). Pursuant to the Voting Support Agreements, such persons have agreed, subject to the terms thereof, to vote the Ordinary Shares over which they exercise voting control in favor of the Merger Proposal. In the aggregate, shareholders holding or controlling approximately 57% of the total number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares have agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, obligations under the Voting Support Agreements automatically terminate (except as otherwise expressly contemplated therein).

56

and in connection with the foregoing, such person agrees to deposit, or cause to be deposited, proxies, or voting instruction forms, as the case may be, duly completed and executed in respect of all of the Subject Securities as far in advance as practicable of every meeting of shareholders (or adjournment or postponement thereof) voting all the Subject Securities eligible to be voted in favor of the matters contemplated by (x) and (y) above and against the matters contemplated by (z) above, as applicable.

Material Tax Consequences of the Merger

Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the Merger to you will depend on your particular situation. This discussion is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential tax consequences of the Merger Consideration and the Merger. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences of the Merger to you, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability of U.S. federal, state, local, Israeli and non‑U.S. tax laws and the effect of any proposed change in the tax laws.

  Material U.S. Federal Tax Consequences of the Merger

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the Merger Consideration received by U.S. Holders for their Ordinary Shares in the First Merger. This discussion applies to U.S. Holders that hold such Ordinary Shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as certain financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers and traders in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, persons who hold Ordinary Shares as part of a “straddle”, “hedge”, “conversion transaction”, “synthetic security” or integrated investment, persons who received their Ordinary Shares as compensatory payments, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, persons that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10% or more of our shares by vote or value, persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, partnerships and other pass-through entities, and investors in such pass-through entities). This discussion does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax consequences or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax or Medicare tax consequences.

60

As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (4) a trust (x) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (y) that has elected under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Ordinary Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in the Ordinary Shares will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity or arrangement and the particular partner. Any such entity or arrangement should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it and its partners of the ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares.

THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR GENERAL INFORMATION AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE. EACH U.S. HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND SALE OF ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF APPLICABLE STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAX LAWS AND POSSIBLE CHANGES IN THE TAX LAWS.

  Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences

In general, a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income”, the PFIC income test, or (2) on average at least 50% of its assets, determined on a quarterly basis, are assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, the PFIC asset test. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, and gains from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. Assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income generally include cash, even if held as working capital or raised in a public offering, marketable securities, and other assets that may produce passive income. Generally, in determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.

The Company’s status as a PFIC will depend on the nature and composition of our income and the nature, composition and value of our assets (which, generally may be determined based on the fair market value of each asset, with the value of goodwill and going concern value being determined in large part by reference to the market value of our Ordinary Shares, which may be volatile). Based upon the estimated value of our assets, including any goodwill, and the nature and estimated composition of our income and assets, we may be classified as a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2024 and in future taxable years. In particular, so long as we do not generate revenue from operations for any taxable year and do not receive any research and development grants, or even if we receive a research and development grant, if such grant does not constitute gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we likely will be classified as a PFIC for such taxable year. Even if we determine that we are not a PFIC for a taxable year, there can be no assurance that the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)  will agree with our conclusion and that the IRS would not successfully challenge our position. Our status as a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis after the end of each taxable year. Accordingly, our U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to our PFIC status for our taxable year ended December 31, 2024 and also expresses no opinion with regard to our expectations regarding our PFIC status in the future.

61

If we are a PFIC in any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder could be liable for additional taxes and interest charges under the “PFIC excess distribution regime” upon the receipt of the Merger Consideration if such amount that a U.S. Holder receives is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares. Under the PFIC excess distribution regime, the tax on such distribution or gain would be determined by allocating the distribution or gain ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for Ordinary Shares. The amount allocated to the current taxable year (i.e., the year in which the gain is recognized) and any year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income earned in the current taxable year. The amount allocated to other taxable years will be taxed at the highest marginal rates in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, to ordinary income for each such taxable year, and an interest charge, generally applicable to underpayments of tax, will be added to the tax.

If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds Ordinary Shares, we must generally continue to be treated as a PFIC by that holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds the Ordinary Shares, unless we cease to meet the requirements for PFIC status and the U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to the Ordinary Shares. If the election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to sell the Ordinary Shares it holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain recognized from such deemed sale would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime. After the deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder’s Ordinary Shares would not be treated as shares of a PFIC unless we subsequently become a PFIC.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds Ordinary Shares and one of our non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries is also a PFIC (i.e., a lower-tier PFIC), such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC and would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions by the lower-tier PFIC and on gain from the disposition of shares of the lower-tier PFIC even though such U.S. Holder would not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to our non-U.S. subsidiaries.

If we are a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions or gain recognized on Ordinary Shares if such U.S. Holder makes a valid “mark-to-market” election for our Ordinary Shares. A mark-to-market election is available to a U.S. Holder only for “marketable stock”. Our Ordinary Shares will be marketable stock as long as they remain listed on the NYSE American LLC and are regularly traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. If a mark-to-market election is in effect, a U.S. Holder generally would take into account, as ordinary income for each taxable year of the U.S. holder, the excess of the fair market value of Ordinary Shares held at the end of such taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such Ordinary Shares. The U.S. Holder would also take into account, as an ordinary loss each year, the excess of the adjusted tax basis of such Ordinary Shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the excess of amounts previously included in income over ordinary losses deducted as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in Ordinary Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss recognized as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any gain as a result of a U.S. Holder’s receipt of the Merger Consideration would be treated as ordinary income and any loss from such the receipt of the Merger Consideration would be treated first as ordinary loss (to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income) and thereafter as capital loss.

A mark-to-market election will not apply to Ordinary Shares for any taxable year during which we are not a PFIC, but will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year in which we become a PFIC. Such election will not apply to any non-U.S. subsidiaries that we may organize or acquire in the future. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime with respect to any lower-tier PFICs that we may organize or acquire in the future notwithstanding the U.S. Holder’s mark-to-market election for the Ordinary Shares.

The tax consequences that would apply if we are a PFIC would also be different from those described above if a U.S. Holder were able to make a valid qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election. At this time, we do not expect to provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make a QEF election. Prospective investors should assume that a QEF election will not be available.

Each U.S. person that is an investor of a PFIC is generally required to file an annual information return on IRS Form 8621 containing such information as the U.S. Treasury Department may require. The failure to file IRS Form 8621 could result in the imposition of penalties and the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to U.S. federal income tax.

The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of PFIC status on the receipt of the Merger Consideration and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares of a PFIC.

  Receipt of Merger Consideration in Exchange for Ordinary Shares in First Merger

Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon a U.S. Holder’s receipt of the Merger Consideration in the First Merger in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized (i.e., the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received) on the receipt of the Merger Consideration and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares. Such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain taxable at a reduced rate for non-corporate U.S. Holders or long-term capital loss if, on the date of the First Merger, the Ordinary Shares were held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year. Any capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized from the receipt of the Merger Consideration will generally be gain or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

  Material Israeli Tax Consequences of the Merger

The following is a summary discussion of certain material Israeli tax considerations in connection with the Merger. The following summary is included for general information purposes only and is based upon current Israeli tax law. No assurance can be given that new or future legislation, regulations or interpretations will not significantly change the tax considerations described below, and any such change may apply retroactively. This summary does not discuss all material aspects of Israeli tax consequences that may apply to particular holders of Ordinary Shares in light of their particular circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules or other investors referred to below.

Tax matters are very complicated, and the Israeli tax consequences of the Merger to securityholders will depend on their particular situation. You are encouraged to consult your tax advisors regarding the specific Israeli tax consequences of the Merger applicable to you, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability of federal, state, local and foreign tax laws and the effect of any proposed change in the tax laws. This discussion is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential tax consequences of the Merger.

Israeli Capital Gains Tax

In general, under the Israeli Tax Ordinance, the disposition of shares of an Israeli company is deemed to be a sale of capital assets. The Israeli Tax Ordinance generally imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of capital assets located in Israel, including shares in an Israeli resident company, by both residents and non-residents of Israel, unless a specific exemption is available or unless a treaty for the prevention of double taxation between Israel and the seller’s country of residence provides otherwise.
63

Under the Israeli Tax Ordinance, the current tax rate applicable to capital gains derived from the disposition of shares is generally 25% for Israeli individuals (or 30% in the case of a shareholder who claims a deduction for financing expenses in connection with such shares or is considered a “Significant Shareholder” at any time during the 12-month period preceding such disposition, i.e., such shareholder holds directly or indirectly, including together with others, at least 10% of certain “means of control” in the applicable company, which generally include the right to vote, receive profits, nominate a director or general manager or other similar office holder, receive assets upon liquidation, or order someone who holds any of the aforesaid rights how to act, regardless of the source of such right), and the current corporate tax rate for Israeli corporations is 23%. However, the foregoing tax rates may not apply to individuals who (a) are dealers in securities and/or (b) acquired their shares prior to an initial public offering (and may be subject to a different tax arrangement).

According to the Israeli Tax Ordinance, non-Israeli residents may be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the disposition of their Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger, provided that certain conditions are met (including that such gains are not derived from a permanent establishment of such shareholders in Israel). However, a non-Israeli corporate shareholder will not be entitled to such exemption if Israeli residents (a) have, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (b) are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly. The exemption may be subject to the receipt in advance of a valid certificate from the ITA allowing for such an exemption.

In addition, under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty (the “Treaty”), the sale, exchange or disposition of shares by a person who: (i) holds the ordinary shares (or the shares of common stock, as applicable) as a capital asset; (ii) qualifies as a resident of the United States within the meaning of the Treaty; and (iii) is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such resident by the Treaty (such person, a “Treaty U.S. Resident”) will generally be exempt from Israeli capital gain tax. Such exemption will not apply if: (i) such Treaty U.S. Resident is an individual and was present in Israel for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the relevant taxable year; (ii) such Treaty U.S. Resident held, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of the voting rights of a company during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to certain conditions; (iii) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition can be attributable to a permanent establishment of the shareholder maintained in Israel; (iv) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to real estate located in Israel; or (v) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to royalties. In each case, the sale, exchange or disposition of shares would be subject to such Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the Treaty, such Treaty U.S. Resident may be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits.

Surtax

Individuals who are subject to income tax in Israel are (subject to certain exceptions) also subject to an additional tax at a rate of 3% on annual income exceeding a certain threshold (NIS 721,560 for each of years 2025 through 2027 (the “Threshold Amount”), including, but not limited to, dividends, interest and capital gains. Commencing as of January 1, 2025, an additional tax at a rate of 2% applies to capital income (including dividends, interest and capital gains) exceeding the Threshold Amount.

Israeli Tax Withholding

Whether or not a particular securityholder is actually subject to Israeli income tax in connection with the Merger, each securityholder will be subject to Israeli withholding tax on the Merger Consideration unless the securityholder obtains a specific certificate of exemption or a reduced tax rate from the ITA or (if such securityholder is entitled to) submits a tax residency declaration, as further described below. The Israeli tax withholding consequences of the Merger to securityholders may vary depending upon the particular circumstances of each securityholder and the final tax rulings issued by the ITA.
64

Any holder of Ordinary Shares who believes that it is entitled to an exemption from withholding tax (or entitled to a reduced tax rate) may apply to the ITA to obtain a certificate of exemption from withholding or an individual tax ruling providing for no withholding or withholding at a reduced tax rate and submit such certificate of exemption or ruling to the Israeli Paying Agent (as defined in the Merger Agreement) prior to receiving the Merger Consideration and at least three business days prior to the date that is 180 days following the Closing. If the Israeli Paying Agent receives a valid exemption certificate or tax ruling prior to such date, then the withholding (if any) of any amounts from the Merger Consideration will be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Israeli tax certificate or tax ruling, otherwise Israeli taxes will be withheld pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contemplates that with respect to Israeli tax, the consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to each of the holders of Ordinary Shares will be retained by the Exchange Agent (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for the respective benefit of such securityholders and delivered to such securityholders in compliance with the withholding requirements under the Merger Agreement. In the event that a securityholder: (i) fails to timely provide the Israeli Paying Agent with an Israeli tax certificate or tax ruling; or (ii) instructs the Exchange Agent to withhold from the cash consideration payable to such securityholder such amount that is required to satisfy Israeli withholding requirements, then the amount to be withheld from such securityholder's portion of the Merger Consideration will be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate as reasonably determined by the Israeli Paying Agent in accordance with applicable law, provided that such rate will not exceed 30% (unless otherwise required by Israeli withholding legislation).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain holders may not be required to obtain an Israeli tax certificate or tax ruling from the ITA, but may instead provide a tax residency declaration (and other supporting documents) in order to avoid Israeli tax withholding, as follows:


Non-Israeli resident holders of options and/or RSUs who were granted such awards in consideration solely for work or services performed entirely outside of Israel for the Company’s non-Israeli subsidiaries will be entitled to provide the Israeli Paying Agent (prior to the payment of the consideration payable at the Closing) a declaration regarding their non-Israeli residence and confirmation that they were granted such awards in consideration solely for work or services performed entirely outside of Israel for the Company’s non-Israeli subsidiaries, and in such case their consideration will be transferred through the applicable subsidiary’s payroll or accounts payable system (as applicable) to the relevant holder subject to withholding of non-Israeli tax as required under any applicable law; and
 

Each holder of Ordinary Shares who: (i) acquired such Ordinary Shares on or after October 28, 2022; (ii) as of the Closing Date holds less than five percent (5%) of the share capital of the Company; and (iii) the consideration payable to such holder is less than $500,000, will be entitled to provide the Exchange Agent (prior to the payment of the consideration payable at the Closing) a declaration confirming that: (i) such holder is not an Israeli resident; (ii) such holder acquired its Ordinary Shares on or after October 28, 2022; and (iii) as of the Closing, such holder holds less than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, and in such case such holders will not be subject to Israeli tax withholding.

Please note that the above does not apply with respect to holders of: (i) options and/or RSUs that are subject to tax pursuant to Section 102 or options that are subject to tax pursuant to Section 3(i) of the Israeli Tax Ordinance (“Section 3(i)”); or (ii) shares that are subject to tax pursuant to Section 102.

65

Options Tax Ruling

The Options Tax Ruling should: (A) confirm that the cancellation of, and the consideration paid with respect to, (i) options and RSUs that are subject to tax pursuant to Section 102 and (ii) Ordinary Shares that are subject to tax pursuant to Section 102, will not be regarded as a violation of the “requisite holding period” (as such term is defined in Section 102) so long as the respective consideration is deposited with the trustee appointed in accordance with Section 102 (the “102 Trustee”) and held by the 102 Trustee until the end of the respective holding period; (B) confirm that the deposit of the respective consideration with the Israeli Paying Agent, the Exchange Agent and the 102 Trustee will not be subject to any withholding obligation; and (C) provide withholding guidelines to the 102 Trustee, including with respect to relocating employees (if any) (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling).

If the Options Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company may obtain prior to the Closing an interim tax ruling (the “Interim Tax Ruling”) confirming, among other things, that MDA Space or the Merger Subs, and the Company and any person acting on its behalf (including the Exchange Agent) will be exempt from Israeli withholding tax in relation to any consideration paid to the 102 Trustee with respect to options, RSUs and Ordinary Shares that are subject to tax pursuant to Section 102 or Section 3(i).

The Company and MDA Space will, and will cause their respective legal and accounting representatives to, coordinate all material activities and to cooperate with each other with respect to the preparation and filing of such applications and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the tax rulings. The final text of the applications for, and the final text of the tax rulings will be subject to the prior written consent of the Company and MDA Space and their counsels, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

NOTE THAT THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT SUCH TAX RULING WILL BE OBTAINED FROM THE ITA PRIOR TO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER, NOR THAT, IF IT IS OBTAINED, IT WILL PROVIDE THE FOREGOING. IF SUCH TAX RULING IS NOT OBTAINED PRIOR TO SUCH TIME, ISRAELI TAX WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE CONSIDERATION PAYABLE PURSUANT TO THE MERGER AGREEMENT AT THE APPLICABLE RATES UNDER ISRAELI TAX LAW OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE ITA; IF SUCH TAX RULING PROVIDES OTHER INSTRUCTIONS THAN THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND MDA SPACE WILL COMPLY WITH SUCH TAX RULING.

Delisting and Deregistration

Following the Closing, the Ordinary Shares will be delisted from the NYSE American LLC and deregistered under the Exchange Act and will no longer be publicly traded.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement. This section describes material provisions of the Merger Agreement but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement. You are urged to read the Merger Agreement carefully and, in its entirety, because it is the legal document that governs the Merger. This section entitled “The Merger Agreement” is not intended to provide you with any factual information about us. Such information can be found elsewhere in this Proxy Statement and in the public filings we make with the SEC, as described in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 85 of this Proxy Statement.

Explanatory Note Regarding the Merger Agreement

The below summary of the Merger Agreement has been provided solely to inform you of its terms. The rights and obligations of the Company, MDA Space and the Merger Subs are governed by the express terms of the Merger Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this Proxy Statement. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties that the Company, MDA Space and the Merger Subs made to each other as of specified dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement among the Company, MDA Space and the Merger Subs and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations not reflected in the text of the Merger Agreement agreed to by the Company, MDA Space and the Merger Subs in connection with the negotiated terms. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the Company, MDA Space and the Merger Subs rather than establishing matters as facts. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, MDA Space and the Merger Subs or any of their respective affiliates or businesses. For the foregoing reasons, you should not read the representations and warranties given by the parties in the Merger Agreement or any description of the Merger Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company, MDA Space and the Merger Subs or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

The Merger

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with Israeli law, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub 2, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space, will be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the First Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 2 will cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Israel as the surviving entity in the First Merger and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Merger Sub 1 (the “Interim Surviving Entity”). Immediately following the First Merger, in accordance with the Companies Law, Merger Sub 1, an Israeli company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space, will be merged with and into the Interim Surviving Entity in the Second Merger, with the Company surviving the Second Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space. As a result of the Second Merger: (a) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 1 will cease; (b) the Interim Surviving Entity will continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Israel as the surviving entity in the Second Merger (the “Surviving Entity”); (c) the Company will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space; (d) the Company will maintain a registered office in the State of Israel; (e) all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses, and authority of the Company and the Merger Subs will vest in the Surviving Entity; and (f) all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, and duties of each of the Company and the Merger Subs will become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, and duties of the Surviving Entity.
67

The Merger will be effected by way of a statutory merger pursuant to Sections 314-327 of the Companies Law, which requires, among other things, the approval of a simple majority of the voting power present and voting at a special general meeting of the Company’s shareholders in person or by proxy, excluding abstentions and broker non-votes and excluding the voting power of any Ordinary Shares that are held by MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, or: (i) a person holding, directly or indirectly, either (a) 25% or more of the voting rights of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, or (b) the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2; or (ii) one of such person’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants, siblings, or parents, or the spouse of any such person, or a corporation controlled by any one or more of such persons or by MDA Space, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 (which constitutes the Ordinary Majority). In addition to the foregoing Ordinary Majority requirement, approval of the Merger is also subject to the Special Majority requirement, namely that either (A) the Ordinary Shares voting in favor of the Merger (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted by shareholders who are neither the Company’s controlling shareholders nor shareholders who have a personal interest in the Merger, or (B) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by non-controlling shareholders or anyone acting on their behalf and by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the Merger that voted against the Merger does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company. The Ordinary Majority and Special Majority together constitute the Requisite Shareholder Approval.

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger

Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Company and MDA Space or unless the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its provisions, the Closing of the First Merger will take place not later than the third business day following the date on which each of the conditions precedent set forth in the Merger Agreement and described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 79 of this Proxy Statement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions by the party entitled to waive such conditions) are met. The Merger will become effective upon the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the certificate of merger with respect to the Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the Companies Law.

Articles of Association; Directors and Officers

All directors of the Company, except for specific directors that MDA Space identifies it desires to remain in such capacity, will be required to vacate their office at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the articles of association of Merger Sub 2, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be the articles of association of the Interim Surviving Entity, except that references to Merger Sub 2’s name will be replaced with references to the Interim Surviving Entity’s name. At the effective time of the Second Merger, the articles of association of Merger Sub 1, as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Second Merger, will be the articles of association of the Surviving Entity, until thereafter amended as provided in such articles of association, the Merger Agreement or by applicable law, except that references to Merger Sub 1’s name will be replaced with references to the Surviving Entity’s name.

From and after the Effective Time, the parties will take all actions necessary so that the directors of Merger Sub 2 at the Effective Time be the directors of the Interim Surviving Entity until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal in accordance with the articles of association of the Interim Surviving Entity. From and after the effective time of the Second Merger, the parties will take all actions necessary so that the directors of Merger Sub 1, in each case, immediately prior to the Second Merger will, from and after the Second Merger, be the directors of the Surviving Entity until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal in accordance with the articles of association of the Surviving Entity.

The Merger Consideration and the Conversion of Share Capital

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, MDA Space, the Merger Subs or the holders of any Ordinary Shares, each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned by MDA Space or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or MDA Space, which will be canceled and retired without any conversion or consideration paid in respect thereof and will cease to exist) will automatically be converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon, and less applicable withholding taxes.

68

Each ordinary share of Merger Sub 2 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to exist at the Effective Time and no consideration or payment will be due or delivered in respect thereof.

Each ordinary share of Merger Sub 1 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Second Merger will cease to exist upon completion of the Second Merger and no consideration or payment will be due or delivered in respect thereof.

Treatment of Company Equity Awards and Warrants

At the Effective Time, each unexercised “in-the-money” option to acquire Ordinary Shares that is outstanding under any of the Company’s stock equity plans, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will, by virtue of the First Merger, be converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (without interest) equal to the product of : (a) the excess of  $2.10 over the exercise price per Ordinary Share for such option; and (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares underlying such option, less applicable withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

Each unexercised “out -of -the money” option to acquire Ordinary Shares, whether or not vested or exercisable, will, by virtue of the First Merger, be cancelled for no consideration.

Additionally, each Ordinary Share that is outstanding under any of the Company’s stock equity plans subject to vesting, repurchase, or other lapse of restrictions (including any RSUs)  will, by virtue of the First Merger, vest in full and become free of restrictions and will be treated as an Ordinary Share that will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $2.10 less applicable withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

Finally, each Warrant (to acquire Ordinary Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain outstanding such that following the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of such Warrant and automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an entitlement to receive Ordinary Shares on the exercise thereof and will become a Warrant exercisable for Merger Consideration such that each holder of the Warrants will have the right, upon exercise thereof, to purchase and receive from the Company, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the applicable Warrant and in lieu of the Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the amount of cash receivable upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the First Merger, that such holder of the Warrant would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Payment Procedures

Prior to the Effective Time, MDA Space will select a mutually agreed-upon U.S. Exchange Agent for the Merger, which will use a local Israeli nationally recognized sub-paying agent appointed by MDA Space and the Company (i.e., the Israeli Paying Agent) and enter into an agreement with the Israeli Paying Agent in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and MDA Space.

At or promptly following the Effective Time, MDA Space must deposit, or cause to be deposited, on behalf of Merger Sub 1, with the Exchange Agent, for payment to the holders of Ordinary Shares (excluding Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of options granted under Section 102(b)(2) and 102(b)(3) of the Israeli Tax Ordinance (such options referred to as “102 Options”) or vesting of RSUs granted under Section 102(b)(2) and 102(b)(3) of the Israeli Tax Ordinance (such RSUs referred to as “102 RSUs”, and such Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of 102 Options and vesting of 102 RSUs, referred to as “102 Shares”), in respect of which payment will be transferred by the Israeli Paying Agent directly to the 102 Trustee, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration which holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
69

Promptly following the Effective Time, MDA Space will send, or will cause the Exchange Agent to send, on behalf of Merger Sub 1 to each registered holder of record of outstanding Ordinary Shares at the Effective Time whose Ordinary Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, other than 102 Shares: (a) a letter of transmittal; (b) tax declarations in which the beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares provides certain information necessary for MDA Space to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the Merger Consideration payable to such beneficial holder pursuant to the terms of the Israeli Tax Ordinance, the Code or any provision of state, local, Israeli or foreign law; and (c) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

Any Merger Consideration payable in respect of 102 Shares will be transferred by the Israeli Paying Agent to the 102 Trustee for the benefit of the beneficial owners thereof, and such Merger Consideration will be released by the 102 Trustee to the beneficial holders of such 102 Shares, in accordance with the requirements of the Israeli Tax Ordinance and the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Tax Ruling), if obtained.

On the Closing Date, MDA Space must transfer the aggregate consideration due with respect to the 102 Options, the 102 RSUs and the 102 Shares, respectively, to the 102 Trustee. Such amounts must be held in trust by the 102 Trustee pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance and the Options Tax Ruling or the Interim Tax Ruling (as defined and described in the section entitled “The Merger AgreementOptions Tax Ruling and Interim Tax Ruling” beginning on page 78 of this Proxy Statement), if obtained, and must be released by the 102 Trustee, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance and the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Tax Ruling), if obtained.

Payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of Ordinary Shares may be made to a person other than the registered holder only if the certificate representing such Ordinary Shares is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer or such book-entry Ordinary Share will be properly transferred and the person requesting such payment pays to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required to be paid by reason of the payment of the applicable Merger Consideration or establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

Subject to the terms of the agreements engaging the Exchange Agent and the Israeli Paying Agent, if any cash deposited with the Exchange Agent is not claimed within two years following the Effective Time, or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any governmental entity, such cash will be returned to the Surviving Entity. Neither MDA Space nor the Surviving Entity will be liable to any of our shareholders for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar laws.

If any certificate will have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed, and, if required by MDA Space, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as MDA Space may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Entity with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the underlying Ordinary Shares.

No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable in respect of any Ordinary Shares, options, or RSUs in connection with the Merger.

Representations and Warranties

In the Merger Agreement, we made representations and warranties to MDA Space and the Merger Subs, with respect to, among other things:

accuracy of this Proxy Statement.

Many of the representations and warranties made by us in the Merger Agreement are subject to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement and the disclosure letter we delivered to MDA Space and the Merger Subs thereunder (the “Company Disclosure Letter”). The statements set forth in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any particular date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality, knowledge or material adverse effect qualifiers different from those generally applicable to public disclosures to shareholders. The representations and warranties were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement rather than establishing matters of fact and should not be relied upon as statements of factual information. The representations and warranties made by us in the Merger Agreement and the description of them in this Proxy Statement should be read in conjunction with the other information contained in the reports, statements and filings we publicly file with the SEC. Many of the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement made by us are qualified by a “materiality,” “knowledge” or “Company Material Adverse Effect” standard.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to us, any change, event, occurrence, effect, development, state of facts or circumstance (each, an “Effect”) that, individually or in the aggregate with other such Effects is, or would reasonably be expected to become, material and adverse to our and our subsidiaries’ current or future business, operations, assets, properties, financial condition, or liabilities (contingent or otherwise), in each case, taken as a whole, except that any such Effect resulting from or arising in connection with, the following will not be taken into account when determining whether there has or may, would or could have occurred a Company Material Adverse Effect:


any Effect on the industries in which we operate;

any Effect in general economic, business, regulatory, political or market conditions or in national or global financial, currency, securities or credit markets, including currency exchange rates or trade tariffs;

any change or proposed change in laws, IFRS or other applicable accounting principles, regulatory accounting or tax requirements, other policies, guidelines, practices or standards, or in the interpretation, application or non-application of the foregoing by any governmental entity;

conditions caused by weather conditions or natural disasters and any epidemic, pandemic, disease, outbreak (including COVID-19), other health crisis or public health event, including any worsening or re-occurrence thereof and any actions or measures reasonably and in good faith taken, or required by law to be taken, in connection therewith;

any failure in and of itself by us and our subsidiaries to meet any internal or published financial budgets, financial projections, financial forecasts or financial predictions for any period (provided that the cause underlying such failure may be taken into account);

any action taken (or omitted to be taken) by us that is required by the Merger Agreement or upon the written request or with the written consent of MDA Space;

any change in the market price or trading volume of our securities, provided that the causes underlying such change in market price or trading volume may be taken into account; and

the execution, announcement, delivery, performance and implementation of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby;

provided, however, that, in the case of the first four bullet points above, any such Effect may be taken into account in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect exists or has occurred, but only to the extent that such Effect has a disproportionate effect on us relative to other comparable companies and entities operating in the industries in which we operate, and then only the incremental disproportionate adverse effect of such Effect will be taken into account.

72

In the Merger Agreement, each of MDA Space and the Merger Subs made customary representations and warranties to us with respect to, among other things:


due incorporation or organization, good standing and qualification;

corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Merger Agreement, to perform the obligations of MDA Space and the Merger Subs under the Merger Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby;

absence of certain violations, breaches, conflicts, and creation of liens under certain organizational documents, laws, orders and permits, in each case, arising out of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by MDA Space and the Merger Subs and performance of their obligations under the Merger Agreement;

required regulatory filings, consents and approvals in connection with the execution and delivery by MDA Space and the Merger Subs of the Merger Agreement, the performance by MDA Space and the Merger Subs of their obligations under the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

capitalization of the Merger Subs;

availability of sufficient funds to pay all amounts to be paid, pursuant to and in connection with the Merger Agreement; and

brokerage, finder’s or similar fees and commissions.

The representations and warranties of all parties contained in the Merger Agreement will not survive the Effective Time.

Covenants Regarding Conduct of Our Business Pending the Merger

We have agreed that until the Effective Time, we will, and will cause our subsidiaries to, carry on our business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects (subject, in each case, to the exceptions provided in the Merger Agreement or in the Company Disclosure Letter), and will use our commercially reasonable efforts to preserve substantially intact our business organization, keep available the services of our current officers and employees, and preserve our present material relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors, licensors, licensees, and other persons having material business relationships with us.

Our Shareholders’ Meeting

We have agreed to, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of the Merger Agreement, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of and, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter in conformity with the provisions of the Merger Agreement, convene a special general meeting of our shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Ordinary Majority and the Special Majority, and publish the notice of such meeting.

We have agreed to, as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of the Merger Agreement but in no event later than the fifth business day after the date of the Merger Agreement, furnish to the SEC a Proxy Statement for the Special Meeting. Unless the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its provisions, the Special Meeting will be held on a mutually agreeable date not to be later than 45 days after the submission of this Proxy Statement to the SEC.

Each of us and the Merger Subs has agreed to, as promptly as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, cause a merger proposal (in the Hebrew language) to be executed in accordance with Section 316 of the Companies Law and delivered to the Companies Registrar within three days from the calling of the Special Meeting. Each of us and the Merger Subs has further agreed to provide notices to our respective secured creditors no later than three days after the date on which the respective merger proposal is delivered to the Companies Registrar in accordance with Section 318 of the Companies Law, to publish notices to our respective creditors and to timely inform the Companies Registrar that, in accordance with Section 317(b) of the Companies Law, such notices were given to the respective creditors.

Go-Shop

During the Go-Shop Period, we will, subject to compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, have the right, to solicit, encourage, entertain, discuss and negotiate inquiries, proposals or offers in respect of, or which are reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and take any other action with respect to an Acquisition Proposal expressly permitted by the Merger Agreement.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement, the term “Acquisition Proposal” means a good faith bona fide inquiry, proposal or offer from, or indication of interest in making a proposal or offer by, any person or group acting at arm’s length to us with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions, involving any: (a) direct or indirect acquisition of our or our subsidiaries’ assets (including any voting equity interests of subsidiaries, but excluding sales of assets in the ordinary course) equal to 15% or more of the fair market value of our and our subsidiaries’ consolidated assets or to which 15% or more of our and our subsidiaries’ net revenues or net income on a consolidated basis are attributable; (b) direct or indirect acquisition of 15% or more of our voting equity interests or the voting equity interests of any of our subsidiaries whose business constitutes 15% or more of our and our subsidiaries’ consolidated net revenues, net income, or assets, taken as a whole; (c) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person or group beneficially owning 15% or more of our voting power; (d) merger, consolidation, other business combination, or similar transaction involving us or any of our subsidiaries, pursuant to which such person or group would own 15% or more of our and our subsidiaries’ consolidated net revenues, net income, or assets, taken as a whole; (e) our or any of our subsidiaries’ liquidation, dissolution (or the adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution), or recapitalization or other significant corporate reorganization which, individually or in the aggregate, generates or constitutes 15% or more of our and our subsidiaries’ consolidated net revenues, net income, or assets, taken as a whole; or (f) any combination of the foregoing.
75


No Solicitation

We have agreed that, following the end of the Go-Shop Period, we will, and will direct our officers, directors, employees, representatives (including any financial or other advisors) and agents (i.e., our Representatives) to immediately cease any and all existing discussions, communications or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal conducted prior to the end of the Go-Shop Period with any persons. In addition, subject to other terms of the Merger Agreement’s non-solicitation provisions and “Change in Recommendation” provisions, we have agreed that, following the end of the Go-Shop Period and until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement, we will not and will not permit our Representatives to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, assist, initiate, facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by furnishing information) any inquiry, proposal or offer that relates to or that constitutes, or which may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; or (ii) engage, entertain, encourage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person (other than MDA Space and the Merger Subs) regarding any inquiry, proposal or offer that relates to or that constitutes, or which may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal​.

In addition, we have agreed to promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify MDA Space if we receive or become aware of the receipt of  (x) any Acquisition Proposal, or (y) any inquiry, proposal or offer that relates to an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer, and the identity of the person making any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer. Furthermore, we agreed to keep MDA Space reasonably informed of the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal or offer and provide to MDA Space copies of all material or substantive correspondences and documents related thereto.

In addition, we agreed not to terminate, waive, amend or modify, or grant permission under, any standstill provision to which we are a party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, without MDA Space’s prior written consent.

Board Recommendation Change

Unless the Merger Agreement explicitly states otherwise, the Merger Agreement prohibits us from:


withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying in a manner adverse to MDA Space, the Board Recommendation;

failing to include the Board Recommendation in this Proxy Statement;

approving or recommending an Acquisition Proposal;

failing to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for our Ordinary Shares within five Business Days after the commencement of such offer;

failing to reaffirm (publicly, if MDA Space requests) the Board Recommendation within five Business Days after being requested by MDA Space or within five Business Days after a public announcement of an Acquisition Proposal or making any public statement substantively inconsistent with the Board Recommendation;

entering into a written agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal;

​approving or recommending or proposing to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal;

resolving, agreeing or publicly announcing any intention to take any such actions described in the bullet points immediately above (i.e., making a Change in Recommendation);
76


accepting, approving, endorsing, entering into or recommending, or proposing publicly to accept, approve, endorse or recommend, any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or which may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; or

entering into any agreement in furtherance of any Acquisition Proposal or which may reasonable be expected to constitute or lead to, any Acquisition Proposal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary under the Merger Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of Requisite Shareholder Approval, we may effect a Change in Recommendation, enter into a written definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and terminate the Merger Agreement, in each case if:


we receive an Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of our non-solicitation and matching right obligations under the Merger Agreement;

the Board concludes, in good faith after receipt of a recommendation by both the Special Committee and Audit Committee and after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal advisors, that such acquisition proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after, inter alia, consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Change in Recommendation is or would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of our directors under applicable law;

we provide MDA Space with: (i) a copy of the definitive agreement proposed to be entered into in respect of the Superior Proposal, together with any material financing documents relating to such Superior Proposal, if supplied to us; and (ii) our written confirmation that (a) the Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (including the value of any non-cash consideration), and (b) we intend to enter into the definitive agreement in respect of the Superior Proposal;

at least five business days have elapsed from the date that is the later of: (i) the date on which MDA Space received written notice advising MDA Space that the Board has resolved, to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; and (ii) the date MDA Space has received all of the materials expressly specified in the bullet point immediately above (i.e., the Matching Period);

the person making the Superior Proposal acknowledges the terms of the agreements between us and MDA Space; and

if MDA Space offered to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the matching rights summarized below, the Board, after consultation with the Company’s financial and legal advisors, in good faith determined that the Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal.

During the Matching Period, MDA Space has the right to offer to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Board will review any offer to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement in good faith in order to determine, in its discretion in the exercise of its fiduciary duties and in consultation with the Company’s financial and outside legal advisors, whether MDA Space’s amended offer, would cause the Superior Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal, and, if not, what further changes are required in order to cause the Superior Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal, and advise MDA Space of same and allow it, within additional three business days, to further amend its Acquisition Proposal. If the Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal does not continue to be a Superior Proposal compared to the Merger Agreement as it is proposed to be amended by MDA Space, the parties will amend the Merger Agreement to give effect to such amendment.

The term “Superior Proposal” means a written Acquisition Proposal from person(s) who are an arm’s length third party or parties, made after the date of the Merger Agreement, that: (a) did not result from the Company’s breach of its non-solicitation and matching right covenants described above; (b) is not subject to any financing contingency or any due diligence condition following the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; and (c) the Board determines in good faith (after receipt of a recommendation by both the Special Committee and the Audit Committee and after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal advisors) is more favorable from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Company (taken as a whole) than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, after taking into account: (i) all relevant financial considerations; (ii) the identity of the third party making such Acquisition Proposal; (iii) the reasonable likelihood and timing of consummating such Acquisition Proposal; (iv) the other terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal; and (v) if proposed in accordance with the matching rights under the Merger Agreement, any revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that, for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the term “Acquisition Proposal” will have the meaning assigned to such term in the Merger Agreement, except that each reference to “15%” in such definition will be deemed to be a reference to “80%”.
77


Efforts to Consummate the Merger; Regulatory Filings

Subject to the exceptions and conditions below and under the Merger Agreement, each of MDA Space, the Merger Subs and their respective affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company and its affiliates, on the other hand, agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties to the Merger Agreement in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law or otherwise to consummate and make effective, as promptly as reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to: (a)  obtain all necessary waivers, consents, approvals, from governmental authorities other third parties; (b) perform all covenants under the Merger Agreement; and (c) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance

The Merger Agreement provides that the Surviving Entity will (and MDA Space will cause the Surviving Entity to) honor and fulfill in all respects our obligations under any and all indemnification agreements with our respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes such a director or officer prior to the Effective Time. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the seventh anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity will (and MDA Space will cause the Surviving Entity to) cause the charter documents of the Surviving Entity to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, insurance, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, insurance, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in our charter documents as of April 1, 2025, and, during such seven year period, such provisions will not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable law.

MDA Space has also agreed to cause the Surviving Entity to obtain and maintain in effect, for seven years commencing at the Effective Time, directors’ and officers’ insurance policies covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, providing benefits and levels of coverage and with policy amounts that are no less favorable than those of our current directors’ and officers’ insurance policies. However, MDA Space or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, will not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the current aggregate annual premium for these policies.

Options Tax Ruling and Interim Tax Ruling

We intend to file with the ITA an application for the Options Tax Ruling confirming, among other things, that the cancellation and cash-out of the 102 Options and 102 RSUs in accordance with the Merger Agreement and treatment of the 102 Shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement will not be regarded as a violation of the “requisite holding period” (as such term is defined in Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance) so long as the respective option and RSU consideration and the respective portion of the Merger Consideration are deposited with the 102 Trustee until the end of the respective holding period. The Options Tax Ruling is subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling. The request for the Options Tax Ruling includes a request to exempt MDA Space, the Surviving Entity, the Israeli Paying Agent and their respective agents from any withholding obligation in relation to any payments made with respect to any 102 Options, 102 RSUs, or 102 Shares. If the Options Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, we are obligated to seek to obtain prior to the Closing an Interim Tax Ruling confirming, among other things, that MDA Space and any person acting on its behalf  (including the Israeli Paying Agent) will be exempt from Israeli withholding tax in relation to any payments made with respect to any 102 Options, 102 RSUs, or 102 Shares to the Israeli Paying Agent, the 102 Trustee or us in connection with the Merger.
78

the First Merger will not have been consummated on or before the End Date; provided, however, that such right of termination will not be available to any party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement has been the cause of, or a primary contributing factor that resulted in, the failure of the First Merger to be consummated on or before the End Date;

If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, it will become void and of no further force and effect, with the exception of certain specified sections, each of which will survive the termination of the Merger Agreement, and, subject to certain specified provisions of the Merger Agreement that will survive such termination, including among others, the provisions relating to termination fees, breakup fees, expenses, specific performance and remedies, there will be no liability, of any kind, on our part or on the part of MDA Space or the Merger Subs, provided that the termination of the Merger Agreement will not relieve any party from liability or damages for any fraud, intentional misconduct or intentional breach of any its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements under the Merger Agreement occurring prior to its termination.

Termination and Breakup Fees

We will be required to pay the following fees in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement:


a termination fee of $5,000,000, if the Merger Agreement is terminated due to a Change in Recommendation if a Superior Proposal was received on or prior to May 16, 2025 and the definitive agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal received on or prior to May 16, 2025 is entered into immediately following the Matching Period under the Merger Agreement;

a termination fee of $10,000,000, in all other circumstances described in the Merger Agreement, including: (a) in connection with our breach of the non-solicitation and matching right obligations under the Merger Agreement; (b) if the Merger Agreement is terminated by us for any other reason and at such time MDA Space is entitled to terminate the Merger Agreement due to a Change in Recommendation; and (c) in connection with our consummation of an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the previously announced Acquisition Proposal) within twelve (12) months following the termination of the Merger Agreement, or our entry into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the previously announced Acquisition Proposal) within such twelve (12) month period where such Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated (for the purposes of the last sentence, all references to “15%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” will be deemed to be references to “50%”); or

a breakup fee of $10,000,000 if the Merger Agreement is terminated by MDA Space due to our breach (other than any willful or intentional breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement such that any joint or MDA Space condition to the Closing would not be satisfied and, such breach is incapable of being cured by the End Date; or, if capable of being cured by the End Date, has not been cured prior to the time described in the Merger Agreement.

MDA Space will be required to pay us a breakup fee of $10,000,000 if the Merger Agreement is terminated by us due to MDA Space’s breach (other than any willful or intentional breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement such that any joint or Company condition to the Closing would not be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured by the End Date; or, if capable of being cured by the End Date, has not been cured prior to the time described in the Merger Agreement.

Expenses

All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated; provided, however, that we and MDA Space will share equally in all filing fees incurred in connection with any antitrust laws in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

81

Specific Performance

Each of the parties to the Merger Agreement will be entitled to injunction or any other form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the Merger Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Merger Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware, except that the provisions related to the Israeli securities law, our internal affairs, the fiduciary and other duties of our office holders, the procedures for implementing, and effects of, the Merger, and all other provisions of, or transactions contemplated by, the Merger Agreement that are required to be governed by the laws of the State of Israel will be governed by such laws.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares by:

 
each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares;
 
each of our current executive officers and directors; and
 
all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined according to the rules and regulations of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable, or restricted shares that vest, within 60 days of March 31, 2025. For the sake of clarity, options and RSUs that will accelerate as a result of the Merger and would not otherwise vest within 60 days of March 31, 2025 have not been accounted for in the table below. See the section entitled “The Merger - Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger Proposal” beginning on page 53.

Section 2.02          Exchange Procedures.
 
(a)          Exchange Agent; Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall engage a U.S. nationally-recognized financial institution to be mutually agreed upon to act as exchange agent in connection with the First Merger (the “Exchange Agent”), which will use a local Israeli nationally-recognized sub-paying agent appointed by Parent and the Company (the “Israeli Paying Agent”) to assist in reviewing any requisite residency certificate and/or other declarations and supporting documents for Israeli Tax withholding purposes and/or a Valid Tax Certificate, as applicable, and, in connection therewith, shall enter into an agreement with the Exchange Agent and the Israeli Paying Agent in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent. At or promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on behalf of Merger Sub 1 with the Exchange Agent, with no withholding of Taxes (except as provided for in Section 2.05) and in trust for the sole benefit of the Persons entitled to receive consideration pursuant to Section 2.01 and/or Section 2.07 (the “Holders”), cash sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration (such cash, the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments of the Merger Consideration. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to pay the Merger Consideration, Parent shall promptly deposit, on behalf of Merger Sub 1 with no withholding of Taxes (except as provided for in Section 2.05), additional cash with the Exchange Agent in an amount that is equal to the shortfall that is required to make such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any portion of the Merger Consideration that is deliverable in respect of any Section 102 Shares, shall be delivered by the Israeli Paying Agent to the Section 102 Trustee to be held on behalf of the holders of such Section 102 Shares, and released in accordance with the agreement with the Section 102 Trustee, applicable Law (including the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance) and the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Ruling). The Section 102 Trustee shall withhold any amounts required in accordance with applicable Law (including the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance) and the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Ruling).

(b)          Procedures for Surrender; No Interest. Promptly after the Effective Time, and in no event later than the third (3rd) Business Day thereafter, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, on behalf of Merger Sub 1 to each holder of record of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time, whose Company Common Stock was converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Surviving Entity may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon: (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate (duly endorsed or with such affidavits of loss and bonds as required by Section 2.06); or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares; in each case, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents or declaration as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent, including without limitation any IRS Forms W-8 or W-9 that may be required under applicable Law, and a Non-Israeli Holder Tax Declaration in which the holder of shares of Company Common Stock provides certain information necessary for the Parent, Surviving Entity and the Exchange Agent to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the Merger Consideration payable to such holder pursuant to the terms of the Code or any applicable provision of state, local, Israeli, U.S. or foreign Law.  No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE II, each Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Share(s) so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled.
 
(c)          Investment of Exchange Fund. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the cash in the Exchange Fund may be invested by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Parent. No such investments or losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund will affect the amounts payable to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to Parent on demand.
 
(d)          Payments to Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred; and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
 
(e)          Full Satisfaction. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares.
 
(f)          Transfer Book Closed. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company, the Interim Surviving Entity or the Surviving Entity. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement.
 
(g)          Termination of Exchange Fund. Subject to the terms of the agreements engaging the Exchange Agent or Israeli Paying Agent, any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by a Stockholder two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity), shall become, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Entity free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto and shall, at such second anniversary of the Effective Time be returned to the Surviving Entity. Neither the Parent nor the Surviving Entity shall be liable to any Stockholder for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Laws.
 
A - 8

 
(h)          Full Satisfaction. All Merger Consideration issued or paid upon conversion of the shares of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards, as applicable.
 
Section 2.03          No Appraisal Rights.
 
In accordance with Israeli Law, no statutory dissenters’ or statutory appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Mergers or the Merger Consideration.
 
Section 2.04          Adjustments.
 
Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock shall occur (other than, if permitted by this Agreement, the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split or consolidation), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
 
Section 2.05          Withholding Rights.
 
(a)          Each of the Exchange Agent, Israeli Paying Agent, Parent, the Merger Subs, the Interim Surviving Entity and the Surviving Entity (each, a “Payor”) shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration and any other amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable Law, provided that with respect to Israeli Taxes, the rate of such deduction shall not exceed 30% (unless otherwise required by Israeli withholding legislation). To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and duly remitted to the applicable taxing authority by the relevant Payor, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Payor made such deduction and withholding. To the extent amounts are so withheld, they shall be subsequently paid over to the appropriate taxing authority on or prior to the last day on which such payment is required under any applicable Law and the relevant Payor shall provide the affected Person as soon as practically possible with (i) confirmation of such withholding, and (ii) evidence regarding payment to of such withheld amounts to the appropriate taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby clarified that absent a change in applicable legal requirements prior to the Closing Date, no withholding for U.S. federal income taxes shall be required on any payment made pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the applicable payee has provided the applicable IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate version of IRS Form W-8, in each case, validly completed and executed by such payee.

(b)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(a), with respect to Israeli Taxes, the Merger Consideration shall be retained by the Exchange Agent for the benefit of each Holder for a period of up to one hundred and eighty (180) days from the Closing Date (or, with respect to amounts payable or other consideration deliverable after the Closing Date, ninety (90) days from the date on which such amount, or portion thereof, is released to the Exchange Agent for further distribution to the applicable Holder) (the “Withholding Drop Date”) during which time neither the Exchange Agent nor the Israeli Paying Agent (nor any other Payor) shall withhold any Israeli Taxes in respect of said consideration, and during which time each Holder may obtain a Valid Tax Certificate. If no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date a Holder delivers a Valid Tax Certificate to the Israeli Paying Agent, then the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate and the balance of the payment that is not withheld shall be promptly paid to such Holder. If a Holder (i) does not provide the Exchange Agent or the Israeli Paying Agent (as applicable) with a Valid Tax Certificate by no later than three (3) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, or (ii) submits a written request to the Exchange Agent or the Israeli Paying Agent (as applicable) to release its portion of the consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Tax Certificate at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld from such Holder’s portion of the consideration shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate as reasonably determined by the Israeli Paying Agent in accordance with applicable Law, provided that such rate shall not exceed 30% (unless otherwise required by Israeli withholding legislation). Israeli Taxes in respect of such Merger Consideration shall be transferred by the Exchange Agent to the Israeli Paying Agent and remitted by the Israeli Paying Agent to the ITA. The remaining portion of the Merger Consideration following such deduction of Israeli Taxes shall be paid by the Exchange Agent to the applicable Holder.

(c)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(a) above, any consideration payable or deliverable to holders of Company Equity Awards or Section 102 Shares will be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax under the Ordinance on the 16th day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing occurs, unless (i) with respect to holders of Section 102 Securities and Section 3(i) Options, the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Ruling) shall have been obtained in which case the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Ruling); (ii) with respect to non-Israeli resident holders of Company Equity Awards who were granted such Company Equity Awards in consideration solely for work or services performed entirely outside of Israel for the Company’s non-Israeli Subsidiaries (each a “Non-Israeli Public Holder”), a validly executed declaration regarding their non-Israeli residence and confirmation that they were granted such Company Equity Awards in consideration solely for work or services performed entirely outside of Israel for the Company’s non-Israeli Subsidiaries, in the form attached as Exhibit 2.05(c) (a “Non-Israeli Holder Tax Declaration”) shall have been provided to the Israeli Paying Agent prior to the payment of the consideration payable at the Closing, and in such case such consideration shall be transferred through the applicable Subsidiary’s payroll or accounts payable system (as applicable) to the relevant holder subject to withholding of non-Israeli Tax as required under any applicable Law; and (iii) any payments to be made to holders of Company Equity Awards that do not fall into clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 2.05(c) shall be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax under the Ordinance pursuant to Section 2.05(b), unless such holder provides the Israeli Paying Agent a Valid Tax Certificate, prior to such date.
 
(d)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(a) and Section 2.05(b) above, any consideration in an amount of up to $500,000, payable or deliverable to any holder of Company Common Stock who acquired such stock on or after October 28, 2022, and as of the Closing Date holds less than five percent (5%) of the share capital of the Company, shall be paid by the Exchange Agent to such Holder without deduction or withholding of any Israeli Tax; provided, however, that a validly executed declaration confirming that: (i) such holder is not an Israeli resident; (ii) such holder acquired its Company Common Stock on or after October 28, 2022; and (iii) as of the Closing Date such holder holds less than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, in the form attached as Exhibit 2.05(d) (the “Non-Israeli Public Holder Tax Declaration”) shall have been provided to the Israeli Paying Agent prior to the payment of the consideration payable at the Closing.
 
(e)          In the event that the Israeli Paying Agent (or other Payor) receives a demand from the ITA to withhold any amount out of the consideration payable to any Holder and transfer it to the ITA prior to the Withholding Drop Date, the Israeli Paying Agent (i) shall notify such Holder in writing of such matter promptly after receipt of such demand and provide such holder a reasonable time (but not less than 30 days, unless otherwise explicitly required by the ITA or under applicable Law) to attempt to delay such requirement or extend the period for complying with such requirement as evidenced by a written certificate, ruling or confirmation from the ITA; and (ii) to the extent that any such certificate, ruling or confirmation is not timely provided by such Holder to the Israeli Paying Agent, transfer to the ITA any amount so demanded, and such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such Holder, and the Israeli Paying Agent shall provide to such Person written confirmation of the amount so deducted or withheld.

Section 2.06          Lost Certificates.

If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed, and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this ARTICLE II.
 
Section 2.07          Treatment of Convertible, Exchangeable and Exercisable Securities.
 
(a)          Company Stock Options. The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding under the Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall: (i) if the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock underlying each such Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect; and (ii) if the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock underlying each such Company Stock Option is less than the Merger Consideration (each such Company Stock Option, an “In-the-Money Company Stock Option”), terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to: “N” multiplied by (“P” minus “E”) where: “N” equals the number of Company Common Stock covered by each such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, “P” equals the Merger Consideration and “E” equals the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock for each such Company Stock Option, less any Taxes required to be withheld with respect to each such Company Stock Option in accordance with Section 2.05. Following the Effective Time, no such Company Stock Option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and each former holder of any such Company Stock Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 2.07(a) in exchange for such Company Stock Options in accordance with this Section 2.07(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any portion of the Merger Consideration that is deliverable in respect of any Section 102 Options or Section 3(i) Options shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent or the Israeli Paying Agent to the Section 102 Trustee to be held on behalf of the holders of such Section 102 Options or Section 3(i) Options, as applicable, and released in accordance with the agreement with the Section 102 Trustee, applicable Law (including the provisions of Section 102 or Section 3(i) of the Ordinance, as applicable) and the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Ruling). The Section 102 Trustee shall withhold any amounts required in accordance with applicable Law (including the provisions of Section 102 or Section 3(i) of the Ordinance, as applicable) and the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Ruling).
 
(b)          Company Restricted Share Units. The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding under the Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested, shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, vest in full and become free of restrictions and shall be treated as a share of Company Common Stock that shall be cancelled and converted automatically, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(b) (treating such shares in the same manner as all other outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for such purposes) subject to the withholding of any Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Company RSU in accordance with Section 2.05.
 
(c)          Company Warrants. Each of the Company Warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding such that following the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Company Warrants and automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an entitlement to receive a Company Common Stock on the exercise thereof and shall become a Company Warrant exercisable for Merger Consideration such that each holder of the Company Warrants shall have the right to, upon exercise thereof, receive from the Company, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Company Warrants and in lieu of the Company Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the amount of cash receivable upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the First Merger, that such holder of the Company Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Company Warrant(s) immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.08          Tax Treatment.
 
(a)          As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and/or accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling in relation to the Israeli Tax treatment of Section 102 Securities and Section 3(i) Options confirming, among other things, that: (i) the treatment of Section 102 Securities and the delivery of the Merger Consideration to the Section 102 Trustee prior to the lapse of the Section 102 trust period under applicable Law, will not be treated as a breach of the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance and (ii) Parent, Merger Sub 1, and the Interim Surviving Entity and anyone acting on its behalf, including the Exchange Agent and the Israeli Paying Agent, shall be exempt from withholding Tax in relation to the payment of the Merger Consideration to the Section 102 Trustee; which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling (the “Options Tax Ruling”). If the Options Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing, the Company shall seek to obtain prior to the Closing an interim Tax ruling confirming, among other things, that Parent, the Merger Subs, the Interim Surviving Entity, the Surviving Entity and the Israeli Paying Agent shall be exempt from Israeli withholding Tax in relation to any payments and deliveries made to the Section 102 Trustee with respect to Section 102 Securities and Section 3(i) Options (the “Interim Options Ruling”). To the extent that the Interim Options Ruling is obtained, all references herein to the Options Tax Ruling shall be deemed to refer to such Interim Options Ruling, until such time that a final definitive Options Tax Ruling is obtained.
 
(b)          Without limiting the generality of Section 2.08(a), each of the Company and Parent shall cause their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and/or accountants to coordinate all material activities, and to cooperate with each other, with respect to the preparation and filing of such applications and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Options Tax Ruling (including the Interim Options Ruling). The final text of the Interim Options Ruling and the Options Tax Ruling (or any other Tax ruling relating hereto) and any application submitted to the ITA with respect to any Tax ruling shall be subject to the prior written consent of Parent or its counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of all material discussions and meetings with the ITA relating to the Interim Options Ruling and the Options Tax Ruling.
 
Section 2.09          Effect of the Second Merger on Capital Stock.
 
Upon the Second Merger becoming effective as provided in Section 1.01(b), as a result of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Merger Subs, the Company, any Stockholder or the holder of any shares or capital stock of Parent or the Merger Subs:
 
(a)          Surviving Common Stock. As a result of the Second Merger becoming effective, the Merger Sub Parent shall be deemed to solely own all of the Interim Surviving Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger becoming effective (the “Surviving Common Stock”). The Surviving Common Stock shall have the same rights, powers, and privileges as provided under the Articles of Association of the Surviving Entity and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Entity.
 
(b)          Conversion of Merger Sub 1 Capital Stock. Each ordinary share of Merger Sub 1 issued and outstanding immediately prior the Second Merger shall cease to exist upon completion of the Second Merger and no consideration or payment shall be due or delivered in respect thereof.

(a)          The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours following receipt thereof) notify Parent first orally and then in writing in the event it receives or becomes aware of an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or relates to an Acquisition Proposal (or any request for copies of, access to, or disclosure of, any non-public or confidential information relating to the Company, in each case in connection with a potential Acquisition Proposal), including any Acquisition Proposal received prior to the Go-Shop End Date whether or not resulting from the Company’s compliance with Section 5.01. Such notice shall include the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis as to the status of material developments and negotiations with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including any changes, modifications or other amendments to the material terms or conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request (and all changes to the proposed consideration to be paid) and shall provide to Parent copies of all material or substantive correspondences and documents if in writing or electronic form, and if not in writing or electronic form, a description of the material terms of such correspondences and documents sent or communicated to the Company by or on behalf of any Person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request.
 
(b)          If at any time following the date of this Agreement (including prior to the Go-Shop End Date) but prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company receives any written Acquisition Proposal, other than any Acquisition Proposal that resulted from a breach of ARTICLE V and the Company Board determines in good faith, after receipt of a recommendation by both the Company Special Committee and Audit Committee and after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal, if consummated in accordance with its terms, then the Company may, following compliance with Section 5.03(a):
 
(i)          furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal; and
 
(ii)          enter into, participate, facilitate and maintain discussions or negotiations with, and otherwise co-operate with or assist, the Person making such Acquisition Proposal,
 
provided, however, that the Company shall (A) not enter into any agreement with any Person in respect of an Acquisition Proposal other than (1) as permitted in Section 5.03(c), and (2) an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; and (B) promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company that is provided to any such Person or its Representatives that was not previously provided to Parent.
 
(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of Section 5.02 that the Company Board concludes in good faith, after receipt of a recommendation by both the Company Special Committee and Audit Committee and after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after, inter alia, consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action is or would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board may, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(a) and this Section 5.03(c), make a Change in Recommendation and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:
A - 23

 
(i)          the Company has provided Parent with: (i) a copy of the definitive agreement proposed to be entered into in respect of the Superior Proposal, together with any material financing documents relating to such Superior Proposal, if supplied to the Company; and (ii) written confirmation from the Company that (y) the Company Board has determined that such proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (including the value of any non-cash consideration), and (z) the Company intends to enter into the definitive agreement in respect of the Superior Proposal;
 
(ii)          at least five (5) Business Days (the “Matching Period”) shall have elapsed from the date that is the later of: (A) the date on which Parent received written notice advising Parent that the Company Board has resolved, subject only to compliance with this Section 5.03(c) and Section 5.04, to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; and (B) the date Parent has received all of the materials expressly specified in Section 5.03(c) (it being understood that the Company shall promptly inform Parent of any amendment to the financial or other material terms of such Superior Proposal during such period);
 
(iii)          the Person making the Superior Proposal acknowledges the terms of the MDA Agreements; and
 
(iv)          if Parent offered to amend the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.04, the Company Board, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and receiving legal advice from its outside legal advisers, in good faith determined that the Acquisition Proposal giving rise to the Matching Period continues to be a Superior Proposal.
 
(d)          In the event the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 5.03(c) on a date which is less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Company Meeting, Parent shall be entitled to require the Company to adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting to a date that is not more than seven (7) Business Days after the date of the notice.
 
Section 5.04          Match Rights.
 
(a)          During the Matching Period, the Company agrees that Parent and Merger Sub 2 shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement. The Company Board shall promptly review any offer to amend the terms of this Agreement in good faith in order to determine, in its discretion in the exercise of its fiduciary duties and in consultation with the Company’s financial and outside legal advisors, whether Parent’s and Merger Sub 2’s amended offer, upon acceptance by the Company, would cause the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Matching Period to cease to be a Superior Proposal, and, if not, what further changes are required in order to cause the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Matching Period to cease to be a Superior Proposal, and advise Parent and Merger Sub 2 of same and allow them (within additional three (3) Business Days) to further amend their Acquisition Proposal. If the Company Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal giving rise to such Matching Period does not continue to be a Superior Proposal compared to this Agreement as it is proposed to be amended by Parent and Merger Sub 2 in accordance with the above procedures, the parties shall amend this Agreement to give effect to such amendments and the Company Board shall promptly reaffirm the Board Recommendation.
 
(b)          The Company acknowledges that each successive material modification to any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the requirements under ARTICLE V, provided, however, that the Matching Period for such modified Acquisition Proposal shall be two (2) Business Days.

Section 6.01          Proxy Statement / Company Meeting.
 
(a)          Preparation of Proxy Statement. In connection with the Company Meeting, as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and submit with the SEC a letter to the shareholders, notice of meeting, proxy statement, and forms of proxy to be used for the Company Meeting, and any supplements thereto prepared in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Proxy Statement”, and the date of submission to the SEC referred to as the “Submission Date”). The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to comply with Israeli Law and all other applicable Laws. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall cooperate and consult with Parent and the Merger Subs in the Company’s preparation of the Proxy Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Merger Subs will furnish the Company with the information relating to it required to be set forth in the Proxy Statement by applicable Law. The Proxy Statement shall include: (i) a statement confirming which Stockholders have entered into a Voting and Support Agreement, the number of shares held by each such Stockholder, their percentage holdings of all outstanding Company Common Stock and a summary description of the Voting and Support Agreement; (ii) the Board Recommendation, provided there has been no Change in Recommendation and (iii) the material factors considered by the Company Board in evaluating the First Merger. Subject to applicable Law, no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without Parent’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing Parent and its advisors the opportunity to review and comment thereon, and the Company will give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by Parent or its counsel.
 
(b)          Accurate Disclosure. Each of Parent and the Company shall supply such information specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement necessary so that, at the date it is first mailed to the Company’s shareholders or at the time of the Company Meeting, the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(c)          Company Meeting. The Company shall take all action necessary to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene, and hold the Company Meeting for the sole purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval (and approving any other matter ancillary thereto or ancillary to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or required under applicable Law or as agreed by Parent) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Submission Date such that that the Company Meeting will be held on a mutually agreeable date not to be later than 45 days after the Submission Date (provided, however, if the Company shall conduct “broker searches” as reasonably requested by the Parent or solicitation agent in accordance with Section 6.01(d) and such “broker searches” actually require the date of the Company Meeting to occur more than 45 days after the Submission Date, then the Company Meeting will be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the Submission Date) provided that, in each case, the Company may fail to use such efforts if there has been a Change in Recommendation. Subject to ARTICLE V hereof, including in the case of a Change in Recommendation provided therein, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval, including: (i) solicit from the Stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Mergers and against any resolution or matter that is inconsistent with the Requisite Stockholder Approval or the transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the Stockholders required by applicable Law to obtain such approval. Except to the extent that the Company Board shall have effected a Change in Recommendation in accordance with ARTICLE V hereof, the Proxy Statement shall include the Board Recommendation. The Company shall keep Parent and the Merger Subs updated with respect to proxy solicitation results as requested by Parent or the Merger Subs (including providing copies or access to information regarding the Company Meeting generated by transfer agents, dealers and proxy advisory firms), any written opposition to the Mergers by any Stockholder and any written communications sent by or on behalf of the Company to any Stockholder opposition to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Once the Company Meeting has been called and noticed, the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Meeting without the consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), other than: (A) in order to obtain a quorum of Stockholders; (B) if, as of the time for which the Company Meeting is scheduled, the Company reasonably determines in good faith that there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval; (C) as reasonably determined by the Company, after receiving legal advice, it is necessary to comply with applicable Law or request from the SEC or the Israel Securities Authority; (D) to allow sufficient time under applicable Laws for the distribution of any required or appropriate supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement; or (E) as provided for in Section 5.03(d); provided, however, that the Company Meeting shall not be adjourned for more than 25 calendar days in the aggregate without the consent of Parent (it being understood that such limit shall not apply to, and Company Meeting shall be adjourned or postponed every time, the circumstances described in the foregoing clauses (C) and (D) exist).
 
(d)          Solicitation Agent. Provided no Change in Recommendation has occurred, the Company shall permit Parent to, on behalf of management of the Company, directly or through a soliciting dealer, actively solicit proxies in favor of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, which right shall be disclosed in the Proxy Statement and the Company shall furnish to Parent such information as it reasonably requests in connection therewith. If requested by the Parent or a solicitation agent, the Company shall conduct such “broker searches” following the record date for the Company Meeting as may be reasonably requested by the Parent or solicitation agent.
 
Section 6.02          Additional Agreements.
 
(a)          Furnishing of Information. Each party hereto will reasonably assist and cooperate with the other parties in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement. Each party hereto shall furnish to the other party all information concerning such Person and its Affiliates required by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Proxy Statement or otherwise reasonably requested by the other parties. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Proxy Statement and to cause the Proxy Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Stockholders as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company agrees to cooperate with Parent and Parent’s counsel and accountants in requesting and obtaining appropriate opinions, consents, and letters from financial advisors and the Company’s independent auditors in connection with the Proxy Statement.

(b)          SEC Comments. The Company shall promptly provide Parent and its counsel with any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement promptly after the receipt of such comments. Prior to the filing of the Proxy Statement with the SEC (including in each case any amendment or supplement thereto) or the dissemination thereof to Stockholders, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Proxy Statement, or response (including the proposed final versions thereof) and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent or its counsel.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties that the Mergers shall be declared effective and the Certificate of Merger in respect of each Merger shall be issued on the Closing Date, as a condition to the Closing taking place.

Opinion of TD Securities (USA) LLC

April 1, 2025

The Board of Directors
SatixFy Communications Ltd.
12 Hamada Street, Rehovot 7670314
Israel

The Board of Directors:

In your capacity as the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of SatixFy Communications Ltd. (“SatixFy”), you have requested our opinion (the “Opinion”), as investment bankers, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to holders of the ordinary shares, no par value per share, of SatixFy (“SatixFy Ordinary Shares”), other than as specified below, of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be received by such holders pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) proposed to be entered into among SatixFy, MDA Space Ltd. (“MDA Space”), MANTISRAEL OPERATIONS 1 Ltd., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space (“Merger Sub 1”), and MANTISRAEL OPERATIONS 2 Ltd., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space (“Merger Sub 2” and, together with Merger Sub 1, the “Merger Subs”).  As more fully described in the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) Merger Sub 2 will be merged with and into SatixFy, with SatixFy surviving such merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub 1 (the “First Merger” and, such surviving corporation, the “Interim Surviving Entity”), pursuant to which each outstanding SatixFy Ordinary Share will be converted into the right to receive US$2.10 per share in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, as part of a single integrated plan, Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into SatixFy (as the Interim Surviving Entity), with SatixFy surviving such merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MDA Space (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”).  The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement.

TD Securities (USA) LLC (“we” or “TD Cowen”) and its affiliates provide investment and commercial banking, lending, asset management and other financial and non-financial services to a wide range of corporations and individuals and, as part of our investment banking business, are continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes.  In the ordinary course of business, TD Cowen and/or its affiliates or employees hold or at any time may hold long or short positions, and trade or may trade or otherwise effect transactions, in debt, equity, equity-linked and/or other securities or loans of SatixFy, MDA Space and/or their respective affiliates for the accounts of TD Cowen and/or its affiliates or employees and for the accounts of customers.  We and our affiliates also conduct research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of business, provide research reports and investment advice to our clients on investment matters, including matters with respect to the Merger or SatixFy, MDA Space and/or their respective affiliates.

We are acting as financial advisor to SatixFy in connection with the First Merger and will receive a fee from SatixFy for our services, a significant portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the First Merger.  We also will receive a fee in connection with this Opinion.  In addition, SatixFy has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise out of our engagement.  As the Board of Directors is aware, although TD Cowen currently is not providing, and during the two years preceding the date of this Opinion has not provided, financial advisory and/or other investment banking services to SatixFy unrelated to the Merger or to MDA Space, TD Cowen in the future may provide services to SatixFy, MDA Space and/or their respective affiliates and may receive compensation for such services.


In connection with our Opinion, we have reviewed and considered such financial and other matters as we have deemed relevant, including, among other things:

an execution version, provided to us on April 1, 2025, of the Merger Agreement;

certain publicly available financial and other information for SatixFy and certain other relevant financial and operating data furnished to TD Cowen by the management of SatixFy;

certain internal financial forecasts, estimates and other information concerning SatixFy provided by the management of SatixFy;

discussions we have had with certain members of the management of SatixFy concerning the historical and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of SatixFy and such other matters that we deemed relevant;

certain operating results of, and financial and stock market information for, SatixFy and certain other publicly traded companies that we deemed relevant;

certain financial terms of the First Merger as compared to the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain business combinations that we deemed relevant; and

such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and such other factors that we deemed relevant for the purposes of this Opinion.

In conducting our review and arriving at our Opinion, we have, at your direction, assumed and relied, without independent investigation, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information provided to us by SatixFy or that is publicly available or was otherwise reviewed by us.  We have not undertaken any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or reasonableness, or independent verification, of any such information.  We have relied upon the representations of SatixFy that all information provided to us by SatixFy is accurate and complete in all material respects and we expressly disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting our Opinion of which we become aware after the date hereof.

We have been advised, and have assumed, that the financial forecasts, estimates and other information concerning SatixFy that we have been directed to utilize for purposes of our analyses and Opinion were reasonably prepared by the management of SatixFy on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of such management as to the future performance of SatixFy and the other matters covered thereby, and that such financial forecasts, estimates and other information provide a reasonable basis for our analyses and Opinion.  We have relied on the assessments of the management of SatixFy as to, among other things, (i) SatixFy’s development and manufacturing of chips and digital satellite communications systems, its technology and other intellectual property and proprietary rights, including the viability of and risks associated with such technology and other intellectual property, and the trends and developments in the digital satellite communications industry impacting SatixFy and its business and operations, and (ii) the liquidity needs of, and capital resources available to, SatixFy and contemplated financings expected to be undertaken by SatixFy to obtain the capital resources necessary for its business and operations, including the aggregate amount and timing of such financings.  We have assumed that there will be no developments with respect to any such matters that would have an adverse effect on SatixFy or the Merger or that otherwise would be meaningful in any respect to our analyses or Opinion.  We express no opinion as to the financial forecasts, estimates and other information utilized in our analyses or the assumptions on which they are based.

In addition, we have assumed that there have been no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of SatixFy since the dates of the last financial statements made available to us.  We have not made or obtained any independent evaluations, valuations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities (contingent, accrued, derivative, off-balance sheet or otherwise) of SatixFy or any other entity, nor have we been furnished with such materials.  We have not conducted nor have we assumed any obligation to conduct any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of SatixFy or any other entity.  We also have not evaluated the solvency or fair value of SatixFy or any other entity under any state, federal or foreign laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.  In addition, we have not undertaken an independent evaluation of any actual or potential litigation, settlements, governmental or regulatory proceedings or investigations, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities to which SatixFy or any other entity may be a party or subject.  Our Opinion does not address any legal, tax, accounting or regulatory matters related to the Merger Agreement or the Merger, as to which we have assumed that SatixFy and the Board of Directors have received such advice from legal, tax, accounting and regulatory advisors as each has determined appropriate.
B - 2


Our Opinion addresses only the fairness of the Merger Consideration (to the extent expressly specified herein) from a financial point of view and as of the date hereof, without regard to individual circumstances of specific holders of SatixFy Ordinary Shares (whether by virtue of control, voting or consent, liquidity, contractual arrangements, vesting of shares or otherwise) that may distinguish such holders or the securities of SatixFy held by such holders, and our Opinion does not in any way address proportionate allocation or relative fairness among such holders, holders of any other securities of SatixFy or otherwise.  We express no view as to any other aspect or implication of the Merger, including, without limitation, any voting and support agreement, vesting of price adjustment shares or other securities of SatixFy or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the Merger or otherwise.  Our Opinion is necessarily based upon economic and market conditions and other circumstances as they exist and can be evaluated by us on the date hereof.  It should be understood that although subsequent developments may affect our Opinion, we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm our Opinion and we expressly disclaim any responsibility to do so.  As the Board of Directors is aware, the industry in which SatixFy operates and SatixFy’s business and securities have experienced and may continue to experience volatility and disruptions, and we express no view as to any potential effects of such volatility or disruptions on SatixFy or the Merger.

We have not considered any potential legislative or regulatory changes currently being considered or recently enacted by the United States or any foreign government, or any domestic or foreign regulatory body, or any changes in accounting methods or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any similar foreign regulatory body or board.  In connection with our engagement, we were not requested to, and we did not, solicit third-party indications of interest in all or a part of SatixFy; however, as permitted by the terms of the Merger Agreement, we have been requested by the Board of Directors to solicit third-party indications of interest in SatixFy during a specified period following announcement of the proposed Merger in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement.

For purposes of rendering our Opinion, we have assumed in all respects relevant to our analyses that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Merger Agreement are true and correct, that each party will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the Merger Agreement and that all conditions to the consummation of the Merger will be satisfied without waiver thereof.  We also have assumed that the final form of the Merger Agreement will be substantially similar to the execution version reviewed by us.  We further have assumed that all governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be obtained and that in the course of obtaining any such consents or approvals no restrictions will be imposed or waivers made that would have an adverse effect on SatixFy or the Merger.  In addition, we have assumed that the Merger will be consummated in a manner that complies with the provisions of applicable securities laws and all other applicable state, federal or foreign statutes, rules and regulations.
B - 3


It is understood that our Opinion is intended for the benefit and use of the Board of Directors (in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Merger Consideration.  Our Opinion may not be disclosed, referred to, or communicated (in whole or in part) to any third party for any purpose whatsoever except with our prior written approval.  However, our Opinion may be reproduced in full in any proxy statement relating to the Merger that is required to be mailed to securityholders of SatixFy.  Our Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether or not to approve the Merger or to any securityholder or any other person as to how to vote or act with respect to the Merger or otherwise.  We are not expressing any opinion as to the actual value, price or trading range of SatixFy Ordinary Shares or any other securities of SatixFy following announcement or consummation of the Merger.  We have not been requested to opine as to, and our Opinion does not in any manner address, SatixFy’s underlying business decision to effect the Merger or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to SatixFy.  In addition, we have not been requested to opine as to, and our Opinion does not in any manner address, (i) the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to the officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, of any parties to the Merger relative to the Merger Consideration or otherwise, (ii) the fairness of the Merger Consideration (other than as expressly set forth herein) or the Merger to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of SatixFy or (iii) whether MDA Space or Merger Subs have sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of funds for the payment of the Merger Consideration at the closing of the Merger.

The issuance of this Opinion was reviewed and approved by TD Cowen’s Fairness Opinion Review Committee.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, including the various assumptions and limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of SatixFy Ordinary Shares (other than, as applicable, MDA Space, Merger Subs, and their respective affiliates) pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

Very truly yours,

TD SECURITIES (USA) LLC
