Recommendation of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR re-election or election (as applicable) of each of the nominees listed in this Proxy Statement and FOR each of the other proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement.

Proxy Procedure

Only holders of record of our ordinary shares, par value of NIS 0.1 per share, or ordinary shares, as of the close of business on April 9, 2024 are entitled to notice of, and to vote in person or by proxy at the Meeting. As of March 31, 2024, there were 49,099,305 outstanding ordinary shares.

  • Voting in Person. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent (i.e., you are a "registered shareholder"), you may attend and vote in person at the Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, trustee or nominee (i.e., your shares are held in "street name"), you are also invited to attend the Meeting; however, to vote in person at the Meeting as a beneficial owner, you must first obtain a "legal proxy" from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee authorizing you to do so.
  • Voting by Mail. You may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope, or, for shares held in street name, by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank trustee or nominee in accordance with the directions provided to you. If you submit a proxy card or voting instruction form but do not provide voting instructions, or if such voting instructions are not in accordance with the directions provided on a proxy card or voting instruction form, such shares will be voted "FOR" each of the nominees for director and "FOR" each proposal for which the Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR".
  • Voting Electronically. Shareholders in "street name" whose shares are held through Members of the TASE may also vote their shares electronically via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority, which vote shall be cast no later than May 13, 2024 at 4:00 a.m. Israeli time (six hours before the Meeting time). You may receive guidance on the use of the electronic voting system from the TASE member through which you hold your shares. Shareholders holding in "street name" on Nasdaq should be able to vote online at www.proxyvote.com by using the control number and following the instructions provided to them by their brokers.

If voting by virtue of a "legal proxy" or by mail, the proxy must be received by our transfer agent or at our registered office in Israel at least six hours prior to the designated time for the Meeting (that is, by 10:00 a.m. (Israel time) on Monday, May 13, 2024) to be validly included in the tally of ordinary shares voted at the Meeting.

Change or Revocation of Proxy

If you are a registered shareholder, you may change your vote at any time prior to the exercise of authority granted in the proxy by delivering a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary, by granting a new proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

If your shares 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.

Quorum

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to transact business at the Meeting. The presence of two shareholders, holding at least 25% of our voting rights, represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting, will constitute a quorum. If there is not a legal quorum within half an hour of the scheduled time of the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or to any other time and place as the chairman of the board of directors may determine with the consent of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the question of adjournment. At the reconvened Meeting, the presence of at least two shareholders, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum. This notice shall serve as notice of such reconvened meeting if no quorum is present at the original date and time; no further notice of the reconvened meeting will be given to shareholders.

4

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum. Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (i) the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (ii) the broker lacks discretionary voting power to vote such shares.

Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for quorum or voting purposes.

Majority Vote Standard

Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote. An 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 approve each of the proposals.

In addition to the ordinary majority required for approval of each proposal, under the Companies Law, the re-election of our external director nominee under Proposal 3 requires that either of the following additional voting conditions be met as part of the approval by a majority of shares present and voting thereon:

  • The majority voted in favor of the proposal needs to include a majority of the shares held by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a conflict of interest, referred to under the Israeli Companies Law as a "personal interest" (except for a personal interest that does not arise from a relationship with a controlling shareholder) in the approval of the proposal that are voted at the Meeting, excluding abstentions; or
  • the total number of shares held by non-controlling,non-conflicted shareholders (as described in the previous bullet-point) voted against the proposal must not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting power in the Company.

In tabulating the voting results for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered votes cast on that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any of the matters being voted on at the Meeting. Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for voting purposes.

We have received indications from our principal shareholder, Formula Systems (1985) Ltd., or Formula Systems, which holds approximately 46.7% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, that it presently intends to vote for all of the nominees for director and in favor of the other proposals to be acted upon at the Meeting. The vote of Formula Systems will not, however, count towards the special majority required for the election of our external director nominee under Proposal 3 (because of Formula Systems' status as a controlling shareholder of the Company under the Israeli Companies Law).

Cost of Soliciting Votes for the Meeting

We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from our shareholders. Proxies will be solicited by mail and may also be solicited in person, by telephone or electronic communication, by our directors, officers and employees. We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, concerning the sending of proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of our shares.

Voting Results of the Annual General Meeting

We will publish the final results in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, or Form 6-K, furnished to the SEC promptly following the Meeting. You may obtain a copy of the Form 6-K by reviewing our SEC filings through the SEC's EDGAR filing system at www.sec.gov, through the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange filing system at www.tase.co.il, or through the Israeli Securities Authority filing system at http://www.magna.isa.gov.il/.
