Quorum and Adjournment
At least two holders of Ordinary Shares (or ADSs representing Ordinary Shares) who are present at the Meeting, in person, by proxy, voting
instruction form or voting via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority (the “ISA” and the “ISA Electronic Voting System”), who hold Ordinary
Shares (or ADSs representing Ordinary Shares) that represent in the aggregate at least 25% of the Company’s voting rights will constitute a quorum for the Meeting. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time scheduled for the
Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to the following week, at the same time and place, without it being necessary to notify our shareholders. A quorum at such adjourned meeting shall be any number of participants. Abstentions and “broker
non-votes,” as well as any abstentions by holders of ADSs representing our Ordinary Shares held by BNY Mellon, are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a legal quorum.
How You Can Vote
| • |
Holders of Record of Ordinary Shares. Shareholders registered in the Company’s shareholders’ register in Israel as of the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Meeting (i) by
attending and voting in person at the Meeting. In order to attend and vote in person at the Meeting, all such shareholders must have a form of government-issued photograph identification (e.g., passport or certificate of incorporation (as
the case may be)); or (ii) by proxy. A proxy from the holder of Ordinary Shares must be received by the Company no later than 3:00 p.m. Israel (8:00 a.m. ET), on September 21, 2026, to be validly included in the tally of Ordinary Shares
voted at the Meeting.
|
| • |
Holders of Ordinary Shares Traded on TASE. A shareholder whose Ordinary Shares are registered with a TASE member as of the Record Date may vote at the Meeting (i) by attending
the Meeting and voting in person, upon presenting an ownership certificate, as of the Record Date, from the applicable TASE member through which the Ordinary Shares are held, in accordance with the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of
Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting) of 5760-2000, as amended (an “Ownership Certificate”); (ii) by proxy, by sending the duly executed proxy together with the Ownership Certificate to the
Company at its registered offices at the address provided above, to be received by the Company no later than 3:00 p.m. Israel time (8:00 a.m. ET) on September 21, 2026. An Ownership Certificate may be obtained, upon request, at the TASE
member’s offices or may be sent to the shareholder by mail (subject to payment of the cost of mailing), at the election of the shareholder, provided that the shareholder’s request is submitted with respect to a specific securities account;
and (iii) by voting electronically via the ISA Electronic Voting System, after receiving a personal identifying number, an access code, and additional information regarding the Meeting from the relevant member of the TASE and after carrying
out a secure identification process, up to six hours before the time set for the Meeting.
|
| • |
Holders of ADSs. Holders of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in “street name”) will receive from BNY Mellon (which acts as the Depositary for the ADSs) a voting
instruction form in order to instruct their banks, brokers or other nominees on how to vote. For ADSs that are held in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, the voting process will be based on the underlying beneficial
holder of the ADSs directing the bank, broker or other nominee to arrange for BNY Mellon to vote the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the beneficial holder’s voting instructions. ADS holders should return their BNY
Mellon voting instruction form by no later than the date and time set forth on such voting instruction form. Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement among the Company, BNY Mellon, as Depositary, and the holders of the Company’s ADSs, the
Depositary shall endeavor (insofar as is practicable and in accordance with the applicable law and the articles of association of the Company) to vote or cause to be voted the number of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs in accordance with
the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to the Depositary. If no instructions are received by the Depositary from any holder of ADSs with respect to any of the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs evidenced by such holder’s
receipts on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, then the Depositary will deem the holder of the Ordinary Shares to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the
Company with respect to the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, and the Depositary will give such instruction.
|
2
Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals
Each outstanding Ordinary Share (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) held by a shareholder is entitled to one vote.
Pursuant to the Companies Law, the approval of each of the proposals requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
Ordinary Shares (including those represented by ADSs) represented at the Meeting, in person, by proxy or voting instruction form, or via the ISA Electronic Voting System, and voting thereon.
In addition, the approval of Proposal 3 is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements (the “Special
Majority”): (i) at least a majority of the shares (including those represented by ADSs) held by shareholders (including ADS holders) who are non-controlling shareholders and shareholders (including ADS holders) who do not have a personal
interest (within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law) in the proposal, present person, by proxy or voting instruction form, or via the ISA Electronic Voting System and voting on the matter at the Meeting (excluding abstentions), voted in favor
of the proposal; or (ii) the total number of shares (including those represented by ADSs) voted against the proposal by shareholders and ADS holders (as applicable) referred to in clause (i), does not exceed two-percent (2%) of the outstanding voting
power in the Company.
We are not aware of any shareholder or holder of ADSs that would be deemed to be a controlling shareholder of our Company as of the current time for purposes of Proposal 3. The
Companies Law requires that each shareholder and ADS holder voting on Proposal 3 inform the Company, prior to voting on the proposal at the Meeting, if the shareholder or ADS holder has a personal interest in the proposal; otherwise, a shareholder of
ADS holder’s vote will not be counted for the purposes of the proposal. In accordance with regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, a shareholder who votes via proxy, and an ADS holder who signs and returns
a voting instruction form, will be deemed to have confirmed that such shareholder or ADS holder (as applicable), and any related party thereof, does not have a personal interest in Proposal 3, unless such shareholder or ADS holder has delivered a
written notice to the Company notifying of the existence of a personal interest no later than 10:00 a.m. (Israel time) on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Any such written notice must be sent to the Company via registered mail at the Company’s
Offices; Attention: Chief Financial Officer. All other shareholders voting on Proposal 3 are required to indicate via the ISA Electronic Voting System, or, if voting in person at the Meeting, inform us prior to voting on the matter at the
Meeting, whether or not the shareholder has a personal interest in the proposal; otherwise, any such shareholder’s vote will not be counted for the purposes of such proposal.
Under the Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder (including ADS holder) in an act or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of (a) any relative
(i.e., spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or descendant of the shareholder (including ADS holder), any descendant, sibling or parent of a spouse of the shareholder (including ADS holder) and the spouse of any of the foregoing); and (b) a company
with respect to which the shareholder (including ADS holder) or any of the foregoing relatives of the shareholder or ADS holder, owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares or voting rights, serves as a director or chief executive officer or has the
right to appoint one or more directors or the chief executive officer; and (ii) excludes a personal interest arising solely from the ownership of shares. Under the Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy, “personal interest” includes
the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote.
3
Change or Revocation of Vote
| • |
Holders of Record of Ordinary Shares. If you are a holder of record of Ordinary Shares who has executed and delivered a proxy, you may change your mind and cancel your proxy vote
(i) by filing a written notice of revocation with the Company before the applicable deadline, (ii) by completing and returning a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date before the applicable deadline, or (iii) by voting in person at the
Meeting. Attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of proxy.
|
| • |
Holders of Ordinary Shares Traded on TASE. If you hold Ordinary Shares through a member of the TASE, you may change your vote (i) by attending the Meeting and voting in person,
by presenting a valid Ownership Certificate as of the Record Date, (ii) by delivering a later-dated duly executed proxy, together with a valid Ownership Certificate as of the Record Date, to the Company’s registered offices to the address
provided above at least 48 hours prior to the designated time for the Meeting, or (iii) by following the relevant instructions for changing your vote via the ISA Electronic Voting System by no later than six hours before the time set for the
Meeting.
|
| • |
Holders of ADSs. A holder of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in “street name”) who has executed and returned a voting instruction form may revoke its voting
instructions at any time before the applicable deadline by filing with BNY Mellon a written notice of revocation or a duly executed voting instruction form bearing a later date. If your ADSs are held in “street name,” you may change your
vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Meeting and
voting in person.
|
Solicitation of Proxies
We may bear the reasonable and actual cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of the BNY Mellon voting instruction form and any
additional information furnished to holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs. The Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders, the Proxy Statement, and the proxy card will not be mailed to holders of Ordinary Shares traded on TASE. We may
reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares or ADSs only for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding proxy soliciting materials to such beneficial owners. In addition to solicitation by
mail, certain of our directors, officers and employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, email or personal contact.
4
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
As of August 10, 2026, (i) no person was known by us to be the owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, based on public filings or information provided to us; (ii)
no officer or director individually beneficially owned 1% or more of our outstanding Ordinary Shares; and (iii) all of our officers and directors as a group (11 persons) beneficially owned 54,589,800, or 2.01%, of our outstanding Ordinary Shares.
Such number of Ordinary Shares includes 50,884,400 Ordinary Shares issuable under outstanding options and PSUs held by our officers and directors that are currently exercisable or exercisable or expected to satisfy their vesting conditions within 60
days of August 10, 2026.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a ‘beneficial’ owner of a
security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has
a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Accordingly, Ordinary Shares underlying options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days as of August 10, 2026, and Ordinary Shares underlying PSUs that are subject to vesting
conditions expected to occur within 60 days as of August 10, 2026, are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. The
percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned is based on 2,620,977,190 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of August 10, 2026.

PROPOSAL 1
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Item 1 on the Proxy Card)
Background
Our Articles of Association specify that the number of directors will be at least five but not more than ten. Under our Articles of Association, our directors are divided into
three classes with staggered three-year terms. The term of one class of directors expires at each annual general meeting, at which the election (or re-election) of directors of the class whose term expired at such annual general meeting shall be for
a term that expires on the date of the third annual general meeting following such election (or re-election) and until his or her respective successor has been elected and qualified, unless the tenure of such director expires earlier pursuant to the
Companies Law, or unless removed from office.
Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members and is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms, as follows:
| • |
the Class I directors, consisting of Dr. Avraham Molcho, Mr. Gal Cohen and Mr. Rami Dar, will hold office until our annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2027;
|
| • |
the Class II directors, consisting of Dr. B.J. Bormann and Dr. Raphael Hofstein, will hold office until our annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2028; and
|
| • |
the Class III directors, consisting of Dr. Sandra Panem, Dr. Aharon Schwartz and Dr. Shaoyu Yan, will hold office until the Meeting.
|
We rely on the exemption available to foreign private issuers under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and follow Israeli law and practice with regard to the process of nominating directors,
in accordance with which our Board of Directors is authorized to recommend to our shareholders director nominees for election.
At the Meeting, the term of the members of our Class III directors, Dr. Aharon Schwartz, Dr. Sandra Panem and Dr. Shaoyu Yan, expires. Our
Board of Directors has nominated each of Dr. Aharon Schwartz, Dr. Sandra Panem and Dr. Shaoyu Yan for re-election at the Meeting as Class III directors for an additional term to expire at our 2029 annual general meeting of shareholders, and until his
or her successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his or her office is vacated in accordance with our Articles of Association and the Companies Law. Subject to shareholder approval of the re-election of the above director nominees, our
Board of Directors will consist of eight members, seven of whom satisfy the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
In accordance with the Companies Law, each of the director nominees has certified to us that he or she meets all the requirements of the
Companies Law for election as a director of a public company and possesses the necessary qualifications and has sufficient time to fulfill his or her duties as a director of our Company, taking into account the Company’s size and special needs.
We are not aware of any reason why the nominees, if elected, would be unable or unwilling to serve as directors. If any of the director
nominees is unable to serve, the persons named in the proxy shall vote the Ordinary Shares for the election of such other director nominees as the Board of Directors may propose. The following nominees have advised the Company that they will serve as
directors upon election.

PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF AN INCREASE IN THE COMPANY’S AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL AND TO
AMEND THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION ACCORDINGLY
(Item 2 on the Proxy Card)
Background
The Company’s authorized share capital is currently NIS 2,000,000,000
divided into 20,000,000,000 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of NIS 0.10 each (equivalent to 33,333,333 ADSs). As of August 10, 2026, 2,620,977,190 Ordinary Shares (or 4,368,295 ADSs representing Ordinary Shares) were issued and outstanding.
In addition, as of such date, 313,240,800 Ordinary Shares (equivalent to 522,068 ADSs) were reserved for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (including shares underlying outstanding options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and PSUs) and
1,250,498,679 Ordinary Shares (equivalent to 2,084,165 ADSs) were reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants. Consequently, as of such date, 15,815,283,331 authorized Ordinary Shares (equivalent to 26,358,805 ADSs) remain unissued
and unreserved and available for future issuances.
Under the Companies Law, a company may not issue shares in excess of its authorized share capital. The Company wishes to have sufficient authorized share capital available for
corporate purposes and to meet its future business needs as they arise including (without limitation) for potential future strategic transactions (such as licensing agreements, acquisitions of other companies or assets or other transactions that may
involve issuances of shares or ADSs), public and private offerings of the Company’s shares or ADSs in the ordinary course to fund operations, and additional grants of equity-based compensation under the Plan or any other equity-based incentive plan
that may be adopted by the Company in the future.
Accordingly, we are seeking approval of the shareholders to increase the Company’s share capital from NIS 2,000,000,000 divided into
20,000,000,000 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of NIS 0.10 each (equivalent to 33,333,333 ADSs), to NIS 10,000,000,000 divided into 100,000,000,000 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of NIS 0.10 each (equivalent to 166,666,667 ADSs), and to
amend Article 4.1 of our Articles of Association accordingly.
The possible future issuance of equity securities consisting of Ordinary Shares, ADSs or securities exercisable or convertible into Ordinary Shares or ADSs could affect our current
shareholders in a number of ways, including the following: (i) diluting the voting power of the current holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs; (ii) diluting the market price of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, to the extent that the new Ordinary Shares or
ADSs are issued and sold at prices below current trading prices of the existing Ordinary Shares or ADSs, or if the issuance consists of equity securities exercisable or convertible into Ordinary Shares or ADSs, to the extent that the securities
provide for the exercise or conversion into Ordinary Shares or ADSs at prices that could be below current trading prices of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs; and (iii) diluting the book value per share of the outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs.
Proposal
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
RESOLVED, to approve an increase of the Company’s authorized share capital from NIS 2,000,000,000 divided into 20,000,000,000 ordinary
shares, with a nominal value of NIS 0.10 each, to NIS 10,000,000,000 divided into 100,000,000,000 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of NIS 0.10 each (equivalent to 166,666,667 ADSs), and to amend Article 4.1 of our Articles of Association
accordingly.
Approval Required
See “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above.
Board Recommendation
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the increase in the Company’s authorized share capital and
to amend our Articles of Association accordingly.

PROPOSAL 3
APPROVAL OF GRANT OF EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION TO PHILIP SERLIN, THE
COMPANY’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
(Item 3 on the Proxy Card)
Background
Pursuant to the Companies Law, arrangements regarding the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer require the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Board of
Directors, and the shareholders by the Special Majority, in that order.
Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors conducted an annual review of the compensation, including equity-based compensation, of our employees and executives, including
that of Mr. Serlin, who has served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer since October 2016. In considering the equity-based compensation, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors reviewed comparative market data relating to equity
compensation at a peer group of Israeli Nasdaq-listed and dual-listed companies, which had previously been prepared by an external compensation consultant, together with such consultant’s advice regarding market developments since that time. The
market data and advice reflected that the equity compensation levels of our employees and executives were significantly below prevailing market practice. In this regard, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors noted that the last grant of
equity-based awards to employees and executives (including our Chief Executive Officer) was made in 2023 and that the equity holdings of employees and management have been significantly diluted since such time. For information regarding the
beneficial ownership of our executives, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above.
In light of these findings, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors determined that it would be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company to grant equity-based
compensation, in the form of options and RSUs, to our employees and, in the form of options and PSUs, to executives, including Mr. Serlin, as an incentive for their continued activities and efforts in the Company. It is the view of our Compensation
Committee and Board of Directors that a significant portion of the equity compensation of our executive officers should be aligned with performance, and therefore the proposed grant of PSUs to our executives constitutes 44% of the total proposed
equity-based compensation granted to each of them.
Accordingly, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, the grant to Mr. Serlin of the
following equity-based awards:
| (i) |
Options to purchase 94,900 ADSs (representing 56,940,000 Ordinary Shares). The exercise price of the options is $3.33 per ADS, which is equal to the closing price of the ADSs on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date the option grant was
approved by the Board of Directors. The options will vest over a period of four years, such that 25% will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and 6.25% will vest each quarter thereafter, provided that Mr. Serlin continues to serve
as an employee of the Company on the applicable vesting date. The options will be exercisable for a period of 10 years following the date of grant, and all unexercised options will expire immediately thereafter.
|
| (ii) |
PSUs for 73,500 ADSs (representing 44,100,000 Ordinary Shares). The vesting of the PSUs shall be contingent upon the achievement of two strategic clinical milestones (each representing 50% of the award) within prescribed time periods, as
determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. If a milestone has not been achieved by its target date, there is a grace period of one year to achieve the milestone, after which the applicable PSUs shall expire.
|
The vesting of the options and PSUs will accelerate upon the occurrence of both (i) a change of control of the Company (as will be defined
in Mr. Serlin’s award agreements) and (ii) following such change of control, either the termination of Mr. Serlin’s employment by the Company or a significant demotion in his new job or position.
If approved at the Meeting, the options and PSUs will be granted under and shall be subject to the Plan and the applicable award
agreement(s) to be entered into with Mr. Serlin and will be granted pursuant to the capital gains track of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version] 5721-1961 (the “Ordinance”).
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors each determined that the proposed equity-based compensation award to Mr. Serlin, as
described above, is (i) in the best interests of the Company, (ii) in accordance with the Company’s Compensation Policy for Executive Officers and Directors (the “Compensation Policy”), and (iii) reasonable and
appropriate in light of Mr. Serlin’s role as Chief Executive Officer, his qualifications and experience, and his past and anticipated contributions to the advancement of the Company’s activities. The total fair value of Mr. Serlin’s proposed equity
compensation does not exceed the limits provided for in our Compensation Policy, and the proposed options and PSUs and their terms are consistent with our Compensation Policy.
Proposal
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
RESOLVED, to approve the grant to Mr. Philip Serlin, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, of equity-based compensation, in the form
of options and PSUs, in the amounts and with such terms as described in Proposal 3 of the Proxy Statement.
Approval Required
See “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above.
Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the proposed equity-based award to Mr. Serlin.
10
PROPOSAL 4
APPROVAL OF GRANT OF OPTIONS TO CERTAIN DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY
(Item 4 on the Proxy Card)
Background
Under the Companies Law, the payment of compensation, including equity-based compensation, to a director that is consistent with a
company’s compensation policy must be approved by the compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders, in that order.
In connection with the annual compensation review conducted by our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors (see Proposal 3), the
Compensation Committee and Board of Directors also conducted a review of the equity-based compensation of our directors. In connection with such review, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors reviewed comparative market data relating to
equity compensation of directors at a peer group of Israeli Nasdaq-listed and dual-listed companies, which had previously been prepared by the external compensation consultant, together with such consultant’s advice regarding market developments
since that time. In considering the proposed equity-based awards to directors, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors also considered the Company’s policy, as advised by its external compensation consultant, of aligning Board equity
compensation with the grant levels received by C-level executives.
Accordingly, based on such review, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, the grant
to each of our directors who shall serve in such capacity immediately following the Meeting (other than Shaoyu Yan, a nominee of Hong Seng Technology Limited, who was appointed to our board of directors in November 2023) of options to purchase 10,000
ADSs (representing 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares), at an exercise price of $3.33 per ADS, which is equal to the closing price of the ADSs on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date the grant of the options to the certain directors was approved by the Board
of Directors. The options will vest over a period of three years, such that 8.33% of the options shall vest on each three-month anniversary of the date of grant during the three-year period, subject to the respective director’s continued service in
such capacity on each applicable vesting date. The options will be exercisable for a period of 10 years following the date of grant, and all unexercised options will expire immediately thereafter. The options shall accelerate on the occurrence of
both (a) a change of control (as such term shall be defined in the option agreement to be entered into with the directors) and (b) the termination of such director’s membership on the Board of Directors following such change of control.
If approved at the Meeting, the options will be granted under and shall be subject to the Plan and the applicable award agreements to be
entered into with each such director. The options to be granted to the Israeli-resident directors (namely, Aharon Schwartz, Rami Dar, Raphael Hofstein, Avraham Molcho and Gal Cohen) are intended to be granted pursuant to the capital gains track under
Section 102 of the Ordinance, and the options to be granted to the U.S.-resident directors (namely, Dr. Sandra Panem and Dr. B.J. Bormann) are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986. With respect to each of Dr. Aharon Schwartz and Dr. Sandra Panem, the option grant is subject to their respective individual election as a Class III director at the Meeting under Proposal 1 (such that if either is not so elected at the
Meeting, he or she shall not be entitled to the options).
Each of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors determined that the fair value of the options proposed to be granted to such
directors and the terms of the proposed options are consistent with the Company’s Compensation Policy.
In considering the grant of the options, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered the need to retain its current
directors and attract additional, qualified directors, our compensation philosophies and the provisions of the Compensation Policy, as well as internal consistency and market trends. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors believe that the
amount and terms of the proposed option grant are reasonable and appropriate and in the Company’s best interest considering the directors’ roles on the Board of Directors, taking into consideration the directors’ respective qualifications and
experience and their anticipated contributions to the advancement of the Company’s activities. Our compensation philosophy encourages the grant of equity-based compensation to our officers and directors in order to further align their compensation
with the long-term interests of our shareholders. For information regarding our directors’ current beneficial ownership, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above.
Proposal
It is therefore proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
“RESOLVED, to approve the grant of options to purchase 10,000 ADSs, representing 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares, to certain directors of the
Company who shall serve in such capacity immediately following the Meeting, with such terms as described in Proposal 4 of the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Meeting.”
Approval Required
See “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above.
Board Recommendation
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the grant of options to certain of the directors of the Company.

(Item 5 on the Proxy Card)
Background
Kesselman & Kesselman, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, have audited the Company’s financial statements

The Companies Law requires shareholder approval of the appointment of the Company’s independent public accountants for the fiscal year
