PROXY STATEMENT
 
This Proxy Statement is furnished to the holders of ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the "Ordinary Shares"), of MIND C.T.I. Ltd. (the "Company") in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies for use at the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting"), or at any adjournment or postponements thereof, pursuant to the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The Meeting will be held on May 12, 2020, at 10:00 A.M. (Israel time), at the offices of the Company, 2 HaCarmel Street, Yoqneam 2069202, Israel.

The agenda of the Meeting shall be as follows:
 
(i)
to re-appoint Brightman Almagor Zohar (a firm in the Deloitte Global Network), as the Company’s independent auditor until the close of the following Annual General Meeting and to authorize the Board of Directors of the Company to determine its remuneration or to delegate the Audit Committee thereof to do so;
 
(ii)
to re-elect Mr. Joseph Tenne as a Class II director of the Company until the 2023 Annual General Meeting;
 
(iii)
to elect Mr. Itay Barzilay as a Class II Director of the Company until the 2023 Annual General Meeting; and
 
(iv)
to discuss the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
 
The Company currently is not aware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

A form of proxy for use at the Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are enclosed. Shareholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies at any time before the exercise thereof by filing with the Company a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Meeting. Unless otherwise indicated on the form of proxy, shares represented by any proxy in the enclosed form, if the proxy is properly executed and timely delivered, will be voted in favor of all the matters to be presented at the Meeting, as described above. All proxies must be received at least 72 hours prior to the time fixed for the Meeting.

On all matters to be considered at the Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as neither a vote "for" nor "against" the matter, although they will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present. “Broker non-votes” are shares held by brokers or other nominees which are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner. Brokers and other nominees have discretionary voting authority under the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange to vote on "routine" matters. This means that if a brokerage firm holds your shares on your behalf, those shares will not be voted with respect to non-routine matters on the agenda of the Meeting, unless you provide voting instructions by way of your proxy card.


Proxies for use at the Meeting are being solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 9, 2020 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Proxies are being mailed to shareholders on or about April 10, 2020 and will be solicited chiefly by mail. However, certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, email or other personal contact. The Company 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 shares. The deadline for the submission of position statements is May 3, 2020.

On March 1, 2020 the Company had 19,898,326 outstanding Ordinary Shares, each of which is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting. Two or more shareholders holding the Ordinary Shares conferring in the aggregate at least 25% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, present in person or by proxy or written ballot, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If within an hour from the time appointed for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place. At such adjourned meeting, any two shareholders shall constitute a quorum.
