The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on September 16, 2019 as the date for determining the holders of record of Ordinary Shares entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournments thereof.

Proposal 1 is a special resolution, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of the Ordinary Shares present, or represented, and voting thereon at the Meeting. The votes of all shareholders voting on the matter will be counted.

Proposal 2 is a special resolution, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the Ordinary Shares present, or represented, and voting thereon at the Meeting. The votes of all shareholders voting on the matter will be counted.

Proposals 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are ordinary resolutions, which require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Ordinary Shares of the Company voted in person or by proxy at the Meeting on the matter presented for passage. The votes of all shareholders voting on the matter will be counted.

Proposals 4 and 5 are special resolutions, which require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either: (i) at least a majority of the voted shares of shareholders who are not Controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal interest in the resolution are voted in favor of the resolution, disregarding abstentions; or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders, who are not Controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal interest in the resolution, voted against the resolution does not exceed two percent (2%) of the outstanding voting power in the Company.

“Controlling” for the purpose of the preceding paragraph, means the ability to direct the acts of the Company. Any person holding twenty five percent (25%) or more of the voting power of the Company or the right to appoint directors or the Chief Executive Officer is presumed to have control of the Company.

A “personal interest” is defined as a shareholder’s personal interest in the approval of an act or a transaction of the Company, including (i) the personal interest of his or her relative (which includes any members of his/her (or his/her spouse’s) immediate family or the spouses of any such members of his or her (or his/her spouse’s) immediate family); and (ii) a personal interest of a body corporate 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, but excluding a personal interest arising solely from holding of shares in the Company.

Each shareholder voting at the Meeting or prior thereto by means of the accompanying Proxy Card is requested to indicate if he, she or it has a personal interest in connection with a certain proposal. If any shareholder casting a vote does not explicitly indicate on the proxy card that he, she or it has a personal interest with respect to a certain proposal where such indication is required, then the vote on the applicable proposal shall not be counted.

The review of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 described in proposal 10 does not involve a vote of our shareholders.

Further details of these matters to be considered at the Meeting are contained in the attached Proxy Statement. Copies of the resolutions to be adopted at the Meeting will be available to any shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting for review at the Company’s offices during regular business hours.

II.     RESOLUTIONS

1.     AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Company’s Board of Directors has resolved to adopt an amendment to the Articles of Association of the Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The amendment to the Articles of Association of the Company is to give effect to the following:

•        A change in the Board members nomination mechanism such that directors shall be elected only at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting, and not at a special meeting

•        Introducing a classified board nomination mechanism, according to which, every year only a 1/3 of the Board members will be nominated and elected

•        A change in the size of the Board, to consist of between 4 and 7 directors

•        The annual shareholders meeting may remove a director by a vote 65% of the shareholders actually voting at the shareholders meeting

•        Amendments to the Articles of Association with respect to the Board composition shall require the approval of 65% of the shareholders actually voting at the shareholders meeting

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board consists of a single class of directors. All of the Company’s directors are elected at each annual meeting of Shareholders unless a vacancy occurs during the year and the Board appoints a candidate to fill the vacancy. All of the directors may be removed, with or without cause, by a majority of the voting power of the Company. The proposed amendment to the Articles of Association would classify the Board

7

into three separate classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with one class being elected each year to serve a staggered three-year term and would provide that directors could only be removed at an annual shareholders meeting by a vote 65% of the shareholders actually voting at the shareholders meeting.

The members in each class would be elected at the annual meeting. The directors initially elected in Class I (Ralph Sassun and Michael Osborne) would serve until the next annual meeting of Shareholders in 2020 or until their respective successors have been elected and have qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. The directors initially elected in Class II (Odelia Levanon and Revital Cohen) would serve until the annual meeting of Shareholders in 2021 or until their successors have been elected and have qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. The directors initially elected in Class III (Yossi Lahad and Ziv Dekel) would serve until the annual meeting of Shareholders in 2022 or until their successors have been elected and have qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. Beginning with the election of directors to be held at the year 2020 annual meeting of Shareholders, the class of directors to be elected in such year would be elected for a three-year term, and at each successive annual meeting, the class of directors to be elected in such year would be elected for a three-year term so that the term of office of one class of directors shall expire in each year.

The proposed amendment further provides that the appointment by the Board of a candidate to fill a vacancy and/or of one additional director requires a unanimous vote of the Board.

Approval of a Classified Board of Directors

To preserve the classified board structure, the proposed amendment to the Articles of Association also provides (i) a change in the Board members nomination mechanism such that directors shall be elected only at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting, and not at a special meeting, (ii) the annual shareholders meeting may remove a director by a vote 65% of the shareholders actually voting at the shareholders meeting, and (iii) amendments to the Articles of Association with respect to the Board composition shall require the approval of 65% of the shareholders actually voting at the shareholders meeting.

Unless a director is removed or resigns, three annual elections are needed to replace all of the directors on the classified Board. The classified board amendment may, therefore, discourage an individual or entity from acquiring a significant position in the Company’s stock with the intention of obtaining immediate control of the Board. If this Proposal 1 is adopted, these provisions will be applicable to each annual election of directors, including the elections following any change of control of the Company.

The Company is not aware of any present third-party plans to gain control of the Company, and the classified board amendment is not being recommended in response to any such plan. Rather, the Board is recommending the classified board amendment as part of its periodic review of the Company’s corporate governance mechanism and to assist in assuring fair and equitable treatment for all of the Company’s shareholders in hostile takeover situations.

Advantages of the Proposed Amendment to the Articles of Association

The proposed amendment to the Articles of Association is designed to assure continuity and stability in the Board’s leadership and policies by ensuring that at any given time a majority of the directors will have prior experience with the Company and, therefore, will be familiar with its business and operations. The Company has not experienced continuity problems in the past, and the Board wishes to ensure that this experience will continue. In April 2019, the Company was required by an activist shareholder representing voting power of about 6% to convene a special shareholders meeting for the purpose of replacing the entire board of the Company. The Company’s shareholders voted against the activist shareholder’s proposal, but the process adversely interfered with the ongoing management of the Company and subjected the Company to significant costs. The Board believes that the stability in the Board of Directors’ leadership and policies in the past has helped to promote the creation of long-term shareholder value. The Board also believes that the proposed amendment to the Articles of Association will assist the Board in protecting the interests of the Company’s shareholders in the event of an unsolicited offer for the Company by encouraging any potential acquirer to negotiate directly with the Board.

Disadvantages of the Proposed Amendment to the Articles of Association

The proposed amendment to the Articles of Association may increase the amount of time required for a takeover bidder to obtain control of the Company without the cooperation of the Board, even if the takeover bidder were to

8

acquire a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares. Without the ability to obtain immediate control of the Board, a takeover bidder will not be able to take action to remove other impediments to its acquisition of the Company. Thus, the proposed amendment to the Articles of Association could discourage certain takeover attempts, perhaps including some takeovers that shareholders may feel would be in their best interests.

The amendment to the Articles of Association shall come into full force and effect once duly approved and adopted at the Meeting.

At the Meeting, the Board of Directors will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

RESOLVED, to approve and adopt the amendment to the Articles of Association of the Company’s, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.”

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy is necessary for the approval of the foregoing resolution.

2.     CHANGE OF NAME TO BOS LTD

In order to better reflect the Company’s current business activities, the Company’s Board of Directors has resolved to change the name of the Company from B.O.S Better Online Solutions Ltd. to BOS Ltd. A change of name requires an amendment to the Company’s Memorandum of Association of the Company and Article of Association. The form of amended Memorandum of Association is attached as Exhibit B hereto.

Subject to the approval by the shareholders meeting, the change in the Company’s name shall come into full force and effect upon approval by the Israeli Registrar of Companies.

At the Meeting, the Board of Directors will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

RESOLVED, to approve the change of the Company’s name to BOS Ltd and effect a corresponding amendment to the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association”.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the Ordinary Shares present, or represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon is necessary for the approval of the foregoing resolution

3.     ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Meeting, the shareholders are requested to re-elect and elect (as applicable), subject to approval of proposal 1 above, the following to serve as directors on the Company’s Board of Directors, for such terms as set forth below, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified:

a.      Yosi Lahad — for a term of 3 years

b.      Ziv Dekel — for a term of 3 year;

c.      Odelia Levanon — for a term of 2 years;

d.      Revital Cohen — for a term of 2 years;

e.      Ralph Sassun — for a term of 1 year;

f.       Michael Osborne — for a term of 1 year.

In the event proposal 1 is not adopted, the term of service of the elected or re-elected directors shall be one year and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

Regulation 5D of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Reliefs for Public Companies whose Shares are Listed on a Stock Exchange Outside of Israel), 2000 provides that a public company with securities listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and has no controlling shareholder, may elect to be exempt from the requirements under the Companies

9

Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), to appoint external directors or regarding the composition of the audit and compensation committees. The exemption is available, provided the company satisfies the requirements applicable to domestic US issuers in these matters. On October 16, 2017 our Board of Directors established that we comply with the requirements applicable to US issuers listed on Nasdaq in connection with a majority of independent directors on the Board of Directors and with the composition of each of the audit committee and compensation committee, and determined to adopt the exemption. Consequently, the Company’s Board of Directors does not include external directors as defined under the Companies Law.

The Company’s Articles of Association currently provide that the number of directors in the Company shall be determined from time to time by the annual general meeting, provided that it shall neither be less than four (4) nor more than eleven (11). Subject to approval of the proposal No 1. above, the Company’s Articles of Association will provide that the number of directors in the Company shall be determined from time to time by the annual general meeting, provided that it shall neither be less than four (4) nor more than seven (7).

The Companies Law provides that a nominee for a position of a director shall have declared to the Company that he or she complies with the qualifications prescribed by the Companies Law for appointment as a director. All of the proposed nominees have declared to the Company that they comply with such qualifications.

The six nominees named in this proposal 3, if elected, shall each hold office for such terms as set forth above, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, unless any office is vacated earlier. The Company is unaware of any reason why any nominee, if elected, should be unable to serve as a director.

4.     APPROVAL OF THE NEW COMPENSATION POLICY

Pursuant to the Companies Law, a Company’s compensation policy (the “Compensation Policy”) is subject to the approval by shareholders’ special majority, and is to be reviewed and re-approved at least once every three years. The shareholders’ special majority requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, excluding controlling shareholders. The Company’s existing Compensation Policy was adopted and approved by the shareholders on July 18, 2018.

The Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have resolved to adopt the New Compensation Policy (the “New Compensation Policy”) for the Company’s directors and officers, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

The New Compensation Policy varies from the current Compensation Policy in the following aspects:

(a)     Allowing a special bonus of up to 2 salaries for outstanding personal achievement as opposed to up to 1 salary under the current Compensation Policy;

(b)    Allowing for approval of directors fees for a three-year period.

(c)     Allowing for the Company to purchase a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, at an annual premium of $75,000, as opposed to $34,000.

The New Compensation Policy is aligned with the Company’s goals, business plan and long term objectives and creates appropriate incentives for the Company’s officers, considering the Company’s size, scope of operations and risk management policy.

The New Compensation Policy shall come into full force and effect once duly approved and adopted at the Meeting.

Following approval by the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors proposes that the following resolution be adopted:

RESOLVED, to approve and adopt the new Compensation Policy for the Company’s directors and officers, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.”

Vote Required

Under the Companies Law, the approval of this resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either: (i) at least a majority of the voted

12

shares of shareholders who are not Controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal interest in the resolution are voted in favor of the resolution, disregarding abstentions; or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders, who are not Controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal interest in the resolution, voted against the resolution does not exceed two percent (2%) of the outstanding voting power in the Company.

The 2019 compensation plans include, in addition to the Salary (as defined below), a bonus plan, comprised of payment in cash, options or Ordinary Shares, as provided below and a grant of options.

The Board of Directors has structured the bonus plan on the basis of a combination of the following measurements and targets, acknowledging it as the most appropriate structure for the Company for the foreseeable future, as the Company seeks to grow both its revenues and profitability. The following table shows the proposed compensation per target for each Company’s Executive Officer:

2019 Target that Entitles to a Bonus

 

Bonus Payable Upon Achievement

Non GAAP Net Profit

 

A net profit that exceeds $1,300,000, on a non-GAAP basis (after reflecting the cost of the bonus).

 

One monthly salary* (approximately $12,500) 

____________

*        For each of Yuval Viner and Eyal Cohen the annual and, if applicable, special bonus shall be paid in shares at a price per share calculated on the basis of the weighted average closing price of the Company’s shares on NASDAQ during the 20 trading days preceding the date of the approval of the annual financial statements of the Company for 2019. The bonus of Avidan Zelicovsky shall be paid in cash (up to an amount of two monthly salaries) and the excess bonus, if any, shall be paid in shares at the price per share described above.

In addition, in special circumstances, the Board of Directors may grant the officers a bonus irrespective of the achievements of the net profit targets, provided such bonus is capped at 2 salaries (subject to the approval of the New Compensation Policy — proposal no. 4 above). The Board of Directors may reduce any bonus payable to an Executive Officer by up to 20%, at its discretion.

Under the existing employment agreement each Executive Officer is entitled to a gross monthly base salary of NIS 44,472 (approximately $12,500) linked to the CPI known at the shareholders meeting (provided, however, that the base salary shall not be reduced as a result of a CPI decrease), plus customary benefits which include, among others, managers’ insurance, education fund, car expenses and long-term disability insurance (the “Salary”).

In addition to the bonus plan, the shareholders are asked to approve a grant to each of the Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Eyal Cohen, and the Company’s President, Avidan Zelicovsky options to purchase 40,000 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares. The options shall be granted pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan and have the following terms:

•        Exercise price:    the weighted average closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ during the 20 trading days preceding the date of the approval of the proposed grant by the Meeting.

•        Vesting schedule:    the options will vest and become exercisable over a period of three years, in three equal parts, such that one third of the options shall vest on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the of the date of approval of the grant by the shareholders of the Company, provided that the applicable Executive Officer is still engaged with the Company at the applicable vesting date.

•        The options shall expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of approval by the Meeting.

•        Payment of the exercise price must be made in full upon exercise of the options, by cash or check or cash equivalent, or by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale of some or all of the Ordinary Shares being acquired upon exercise of options, or by any combination of the foregoing.

The proposed compensation for each Executive Officer complies with the Company’s current and New Compensation Policy.

•        Grant of 7,500 options to purchase Ordinary Shares corresponding to three years of service on the Board. The Options shall be granted to those directors elected for the first time or re-elected by the shareholders, provided that a director shall not receive an additional grant unless three years have lapsed since the previous grant of options to such director. The Grant Date will be the date of approval of appointment or reappointment of the director by the shareholders meeting and, if applicable, every 3-year anniversary of the previous grant (assuming continued service on the Board). For the avoidance of doubt, a grant of options may occur in the middle of the term of a director.

The Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors believe that it is in the Company’s best interests of the Company to provide our directors and officers liability insurance coverage to enable us to attract and retain highly qualified directors and officers from time to time.

Shareholders are asked to ratify and approve the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, with liability coverage of $5 million per event and per period, at an annual premium of $75,000. In addition, the shareholders are asked to ratify and approve any renewal and/or extension of the Policy, and the purchase of any other directors’ and officers’ insurance policy upon the expiration of the Policy from the same or a different insurance company, provided that such renewal, extension or substitution is on terms substantially similar to or more favorable than those of the then effective insurance policy, and that the annual premium does not exceed an amount representing an increase of either 25% in any year, as compared to the previous year, or cumulatively for the number of years since the last such increase. The approval will apply to current directors and officers and any future directors and officers who may serve from time to time.

15

The proposed insurance complies with the provisions of the Company’s New Compensation Policy.

At the Meeting, the Board of Directors proposes that the following resolution be adopted:

RESOLVED, that the liability insurance coverage and any renewals, extensions or substitutions, in accordance with the terms described in this Proxy Statement, for the benefit of all current and future directors and officers of the Company who may serve from time to time, be and hereby is approved.”

1.     Background

Amendment No. 20 to the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”) was enacted on 12 December 1, 2012. This amendment mandates the adoption of a compensation policy for Executive Officers and Directors in publicly-traded companies, and defines a special procedure for authorizing employment terms for executives.

On November 28, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed a Compensation Committee.

Under the Companies Law, the compensation committee is responsible for: (i) making recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the Compensation Policy applicable to the Company’s office holders and any extensions thereto; (ii) providing the Board of Directors with recommendations with respect to any amendments or updates to the Compensation Policy and periodically reviewing the implementation thereof; (iii) reviewing and approving arrangements with respect to the terms of office and employment of office holders; and (iv) determining whether or not to exempt a transaction with a candidate for the position of chief executive officer from shareholder approval.

The Compensation Policy is a multi-year policy which shall be in effect for a period of three years from the date of its approval by Company’s shareholders. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors shall review the Compensation Policy from time to time, as required by the Companies Law. The Compensation Policy shall be reapproved as required by the Companies Law, every three years.

2.     The purpose of the document and its contents

The purpose of the document is to define the Compensation Policy for the Office Holders in BOS, and present the guiding principles for the compensation.

For purposes of this Policy, “Officers” shall mean “Office Holders” as such term is defined in the Companies Law, excluding, unless otherwise expressly indicated herein, BOS’ directors who are not employees or service providers of the Company, but including the Active Chairman.

This Compensation Policy shall apply to compensation agreements and arrangements which will be approved after the date on which this Compensation Policy is approved by the shareholders of BOS.

3.     Compensation Objectives

•        Attract, motivate, retain and reward highly experienced personnel in competitive labor markets.

•        Improve business results and strategy implementation, and support work-plan’s goals, through a long term perspective.

•        Drive Officers to create long term economic value for the Company.

•        Create appropriate incentives taking into account, inter alia, the Company’s interest in preventing excessive risk taking.

•        Create a clear correlation between an individual’s compensation and both the Company and the individual’s performance.

•        Align Officers’ interests with those of the Company and its shareholders and incentivize achievement of long term goals.

•        Create fair and reasonable incentives, considering the Company’s size, characteristics and type of activity.

•        Support market-driven pay decisions and ensure pay levels are set according to comparable market rates.

•        Create a desired and suitable balance between fixed and variable pay components.

C-2

4.     Compensation Policy

4.1.     Remuneration structure and components

Compensation components under this Compensation Policy may include the following:

•        Base Salary — a fixed monetary compensation paid monthly.

•        Benefits and perquisites — programs designed to supplement cash compensation, based on local market practice for comparable positions and as may be required under any applicable law.

•        Bonus — variable cash incentive paid annually, designed to reward officers based on both the Company’s results and achievement of individual predetermined goals.

•        Equity based compensation — variable equity based compensation designed to retain officers, align officers’ and shareholders’ interests and incentivize achievement of long term goals.

•        Retirement and termination of service arrangements — a fixed adaptation grant, in addition to the payment related to the advance Notice Period.

BOS’ Officers’ remuneration package is tailored to best suit with the Company’s characteristics and operations; and is designed to serve the Company’s long term goals and balance correctly between encouraging performance and limiting unwarranted risks.

A non-material change in the compensation package of an Officer who is subordinate to the Chief Executive Officer and who is not serving as a director of the Company may be approved solely by the Chief Executive Officer, provided that the terms of compensation of such Officer will continue to meet the requirements of this Compensation Policy. For these purposes, a change of up to 10% of the annual fixed compensation of such Officer shall be deemed to be non-material.

4.2.     Base salary for Officers

The base payment compensates the Officer for his/her time and effort in performing his/her tasks and reflects the Officer’s role, skills, qualifications, experience and market value (the “Base Salary”).

The Base Salary for newly hired Officers will be set based on the following considerations:

•        Role and the business responsibilities.

•        Professional experience, education, expertise and qualifications.

•        Previous compensation paid to the Officer, before joining the Company and/or for previous roles within the Company.

•        Internal comparison: (a) base salary of comparable BOS’ Officers; (b) the ratio between the overall compensation of the Officer and the average and median salary of other employees of the Company; and (c) the effect of the salary differences on the work level’s atmosphere and relationships.

         External comparison — the cap of Base Salary of each Officer shall not exceed the average Base Salary granted to holders of similar positions in the Company’s peer group. This creates a desired balance between the Company’s expenses and maintaining competitiveness in the relevant labor markets. The Company’s peer group includes at least 10 Companies employing with similar criteria such as: number of employees (up to twice the amount employed by BOS at a specific time), revenues (up to 3 times of revenues amount of BOS at that time), and market value (up to 4 times of BOS’ market capitalization). It is recommended to include companies with the same field of business as much as possible.

C-3

When deciding on increasing an Officer’s Base Salary, the following considerations shall be applied:

•        Changes to the Officer’s scope of responsibilities and business challenges.

•        Officer’s professional experience, education, expertise, qualifications and achievements in the Company.

•        The need to retain the Officer, including related aspects such as competing job offers or the availability of alternative talent in the relevant labor market.

•        Inflation rate since the last Base Salary update.

•        The Company’s financial state.

•        Internal comparison — (a) base salary of comparable BOS’ Officers; (b) the ratio between the overall compensation of the Officer and the average and median salary of other employees of the Company; and (c) the effect of the salary differences on the work level’s atmosphere and relationships.

         External comparison — the Base Salary of each Officer shall be targeted towards the average Base Salary granted to holders of similar positions in the Company’s peer group, and shall not exceed such average, creating a desired combination between balancing the Company’s expenses and maintaining competitiveness in the relevant labor markets.

4.3.     Benefits and perquisites — for Officers

BOS’ benefit plans are designed to supplement cash compensation, based on local market practice for comparable positions, and are subject to the Israeli labor laws.

The Company shall offer its Officers market-competitive benefit plans which may include the following:

•        Pension and savings — subject to applicable law, Officers may be offered a choice between any combination of executive insurance and pension fund.

•        Disability insurance — the Company may purchase disability insurance for its Officers; premium will not exceed 2.5% of the monthly salary.

•        Providence fund — Officers may be entitled to a providence fund provision at the expense of the Company which shall not exceed 7.5% of the monthly salary.

•        Convalescence pay — Officers are entitled to convalescence pay according to applicable law.

•        Vacation — Officers are entitled to annual vacation days pursuant to their employment agreement, up to 25 days per annum, and no less than the minimal number required under applicable law.

•        Sick days quota — Officers are entitled to up to 18 paid sick days per annum but no less than such minimal number required under applicable law.

•        Vehicle — car leasing may be offered to Officers on top of their salaries. The Company will gross up the taxation cost.

•        Meals cost reimbursements — according to Company’s practice as shall be from time to time. Tax will be paid by the Officer.

•        Medical health insurance — according to Company’s practice.

•        Out of pocket expenses — reimbursements according to Company’s practice.

•        Severance pay — the Company’s liability for severance pay to its Officers shall be calculated pursuant to the Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963, except that an Officer may be entitled to receive severance pay even in the event of voluntary resignation.

C-4

4.4.     Bonus — for Officers

BOS’ incentive scheme will be based on a variable annual incentive, designed to reward Officers based on the achievement of predetermined Company and individual goals (the “Bonus”).

For each calendar year, the Company will define individual and Company measurable goals for each Officer.

The annual Bonus will be capped at 5 monthly base salaries, and may be paid, in whole or in part, in cash, equity or a combination thereof.

The Bonus plan shall take into account the profit level of the Company as a group and may also, but is not required to, take into account the profit level of the respective applicable division.

The bonus parameters will be determined based on pre-defined measurable and quantified considerations.

Measurable criteria for the Bonus may include (but is not limited to) any one or more of the following criteria, in accordance with the following ranges:
