AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.
 
 
 

 
 
ITEM 1: APPROVAL OF THE REAPPOINTMENT OF KESSELMAN & KESSELMAN PWC ISRAEL, A MEMBER OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS INTERNATIONAL LTD., AS OUR INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE APPROVAL BY THE MEETING UNTIL OUR NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, AND DELEGATION OF THE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE THEIR REMUNERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VOLUME AND NATURE OF THEIR SERVICES TO THE COMPANY'S AUDIT COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s articles of association, the shareholders of the Company are authorized to appoint the Company’s independent certified public accountants. In addition, the approval by the Company’s Audit Committee of the certified public accountants re-appointment and remuneration is required under the corporate governance rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.
 
We first appointed Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel, a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Ltd., as our independent certified public accountants in 2009. Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel has no relationship with us or any of our affiliates except as auditors.
 
At the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to approve the re-appointment of Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel as our independent registered public accountants effective as of the approval by the Meeting and until the Company's next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, pursuant to the recommendation of our Audit Committee and Board of Directors. As a result of Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel’s familiarity with our operations and its reputation in the auditing field, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors believe that Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel has the necessary personnel, professional qualifications and independence to act as our independent registered public accountants.
 
At the Meeting, the shareholders will also be asked to authorize the delegation to our Board of Directors and our Audit Committee the authority to determine the remuneration of our independent certified public accountants according to the volume and nature of their services. With respect to fiscal year 2012, we paid Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel approximately $257,000 for audit services and $47,000 for tax-related services.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
 
RESOLVED, THAT THE APPOINTMENT OF KESSELMAN & KESSELMAN PWC ISRAEL, A MEMBER OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS INTERNATIONAL LTD., AS THE INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF THE COMPANY EFFECTIVE AS OF THE APPROVAL BY THE MEETING AND UNTIL THE COMPANY'S NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, BE AND HEREBY IS APPROVED, AND IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS BE, AND IT HEREBY IS, AUTHORIZED TO DETERMINE THE REMUNERATION OF SUCH AUDITORS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VOLUME AND NATURE OF THEIR SERVICES.”

 
 

 

ITEM 2: APPROVAL OF THE RE-ELECTION OF EACH OF MR. JAN LOEB, MR. ZEEV BIRNBOIM AND MS. IRIS SHAPIRA TO SERVE AS A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY, TO HOLD OFFICE UNTIL OUR NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS; AND
 
Our articles of association provide for a Board of Directors consisting of no less than two and no more than eleven members. Our Board of Directors is currently composed of five directors, including two external directors appointed in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law. Our directors, other than our external directors, are elected at each annual meeting of shareholders. All the members of our Board of Directors (except the external directors who may be elected for 3 terms of 3 years each) may be reelected upon completion of their term of office.
 
At the Meeting, our shareholders are being asked to reelect the following current directors, Mr. Jan Loeb, Mr. Zeev Birmboim and Ms. Iris Shapira, to hold office until our next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.
 
For information regarding the compensation of the Company's directors, see also the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year 2012.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the board of directors of a public company is required to determine the minimum number of directors with “accounting and financial expertise” who will serve on the board. Our Board of Directors determined that at least two directors must have “accounting and financial expertise”, as such term is defined by regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law. The Board of Directors determined that Messrs. Zeev Birmboim, Jan H. Loeb, Avi Shani, Yacov Shahar, and Ms. Iris Shapira, all have “accounting and financial expertise”. Furthermore, our audit committee determined that Ms. Iris Shapira qualifies as an “independent” director within the meaning of this term under the Israeli Companies Law.
 
We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. As such, we are exempt from the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules requirement that a majority of a company’s Board of Directors must qualify as independent directors within the meaning of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. We are also exempt from the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules requirement regarding the process for the nomination of directors; instead, we follow Israeli law and practice in accordance with which directors are proposed by the Board of Directors and elected by the shareholders, unless otherwise provided in a company’s articles of association. Our articles of association provide that the directors (except the external directors) may also be appointed by a vote of a majority of directors then in office. Our practice has been that our director nominees are presented in our proxy statement for election at our annual meetings of shareholders.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary Shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting thereon, is required to reelect each of the nominees named above.

ITEM 6: APPROVAL OF CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY TO REFLECT RECENT AMENDMENTS TO THE ISRAELI COMPANIES LAW, SECURITIES LAW AND CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS.

In recent years, the Israeli Companies Law has undergone several amendments, including Amendment No. 16 to the Israeli Companies Law (adopted in March 2011), which implemented some significant changes in the corporate governance of Israeli companies. In addition, recent amendments to the Securities Law which authorized the Israeli Securities Authority to impose administrative sanctions (including monetary sanctions) against public companies like TAT and its office holders for certain violations of the Securities Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The amendments to the Securities Law provide that only certain types of liabilities suffered following such sanctions may be reimbursed by indemnification and insurance, and with regard to part of such liabilities, that such indemnification and insurance is authorized by the company’s articles of association.
 
In order to conform our existing Articles of Association to the Israeli Companies Law as currently in effect, particularly following Amendment No. 16 to the Israeli Companies Law, to update them to conform to other current laws and regulatory requirements and other customary practices, and to enable us to continue to be able to indemnify and insure our office holders to the full extent permitted by law, including, among other things, indemnification and insurance in connection with administrative proceedings following the recent amendment to the Securities Law, we propose to amend our Articles of Association in the manner set forth on Appendix C (the "Modified AOA").
 
It shall be noted, that in the Modified AOA, we limited such indemnification to our Directors and Officers to no more than 25 % of the equity of the Company according the Company’s consolidated financial statements, prior to the date that the indemnity was given.
 
Also, it should be noted that in the Modified AOA, we deleted the Company's right to grant exemptions from liability to our Directors and Officers.
 
The words proposed to be added to the Articles of Association are underlined, and the words proposed to be deleted are indicated by strikethrough (It should be noted that in addition to the proposed amendments, Appendix C incorporates the amendments to our Articles of Association since their adaptation in 1986).
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
 
"RESOLVED, TO APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY IN THE MANNER SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT B HERETO, TO REFLECT RECENT AMENDMENTS TO THE ISRAELI COMPANIES LAW, SECURITIES LAW AND CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS."
 
 
 

 

ITEM 7: SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF ITEM 6 (THE MODIFIED AOA), APPROVAL TO GRANT NEW LETTERS OF INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY TO ITS CURRENT DIRECTORS AND CEO, IN ORDER TO REFLECT RECENT AMENDENTS OF THE ISRAELI COMPANIES LAW AND THE ISRAELI SECURITIES LAW (THE "NEW INDEMNIFICATION LETTER").

According to Israeli law, a publicly-traded company may indemnify its directors and officers against certain actions, if the company’s articles of association allow such indemnification, and with respect to indemnification given to such company’s Directors and CEO, if agreeing to indemnify the directors pursuant to the terms of such indemnification letter was approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders. Following the approval of our shareholders on July 29, 2004, the Company and its Directors and Officers are parties to the letter of indemnification and exemption (the "Indemnification and Exemption Letter"). The Company seeks to amend the Indemnification and Exemption Letter as follows: (1) to allow indemnification of its office holders to the full extent permitted by the law, including pursuant to the changes in law as described with respect to Item 6 above and to enter into new indemnification agreements with its Directors and Officers on the terms set forth in the amended Indemnification Letter; (2) to delete the Company's right to grant exemptions from liability in the New Indemnification Letter to our Directors and Officers.
 
According to article 273 and 272C1, to the Israeli Companies Law and subject to the shareholders meeting approval of the Modified AOA, our shareholders are requested to approve granting of the New Indemnification Letter to our current Directors (according to article 273 to the Israeli Companies Law) and to our current CEO (according to article 272C1 the Israeli Companies Law) in the Company1.  Following is the list of Directors and the CEO who will receive the New Indemnification Letters subject to shareholders approval: Zeev Birnboim (Chairman of the Board of Directors), Jan Loeb (Director), Iris Shapira (Independent Director), Avi Shani (External Director), Yacov Shahar (External Director) and Itsik Maaravi (CEO). The grant of New Indemnification Letters to the Company's Directors and to its CEO were approved by the Company's Compensation Committee and by its Board of Directors on June 17th, 2013 and they are subject to the approval of the General Meeting of the shareholders.

Attached and marked as Appendix D are the New Indemnification Letters. The words proposed to be added to the Indemnification Letter are underlined, and the words proposed to be deleted are indicated by strikethrough.
 

 
1  It shall be noted that subject to the approval of the modified AOA, as stated in article 6 above and the grant of the New Indemnification Letters to the Company's Directors and CEO, as stated in item 7 above, the Company intends to grant the New Indemnification Letters also to the following officers in the Company: Todd Schwartz (Chief Executive Officer of Piedmont), Yair Raz (Chief Executive Officer of Limco), Shmuel Mendel (Chief Executive Officer of Bental), Yaron Shalem (Chief Financial Officer), Shlomi Karako (Vice President Operations). This conditional approval was approved according to article 272C of the Israeli Companies Law by the Company's Compensation Committee and by its Board of Directors on June 17th 2013.
 
 
 

 

It should be noted that in case the Meeting does not approve the granting of The New Indemnification Letters to our Directors and to our CEO, the current Indemnification and Exemption Letter will be valid, active and binding, subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law and the Company's Article of Association.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
 
"RESOLVED, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF ITEM 6 (THE MODIFIED AOA), APPROVAL TO GRANT NEW LETTERS OF INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY TO ITS CURRENT DIRECTORS AND CEO, IN ORDER TO REFLECT RECENT AMENDENTS OF THE ISRAELI COMPANIES LAW AND THE ISRAELI SECURITIES LAW.
