The meeting will be held for the following purposes:


(1)
to elect six directors – the one-year terms of our current directors who are not outside directors will expire at the meeting, and we are proposing to elect six directors;

(3)
to set the size of the Board of Directors at nine members in accordance with our Articles of Association;


(4)
to ratify the appointment and compensation of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2021 – Israeli law requires that we ask you, on an annual basis, to approve our auditors; when this proposal is raised, you will also be invited to discuss our 2020 consolidated financial statements; and


(5)
as required by Israeli law, to approve the compensation for our Chief Executive Officer.

You are entitled to vote at the meeting if you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on July 1, 2021.   You are also entitled to vote at the meeting if you hold our ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee that is one of our shareholders of record at the close of business on July 1, 2021, or that appears in the participant listing of a securities depository on such date.

You can vote your shares by attending the meeting, by completing and signing a proxy card or by voting as provided in the proxy card.  Proxy cards will be distributed to shareholders on or about July 6, 2021, together with a proxy statement which will include the full version of the proposed resolutions.

Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote upon each of the proposals to be presented at the meeting.  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on each of the proposals in person or by proxy is required to approve each of the proposals.

In addition, a special majority vote will be required for approval of the proposals in Items 2 and 5.  In order for each of these two proposals to be approved either (i) the affirmative vote of the ordinary shares must include at least a majority of the ordinary shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, or (ii) the total ordinary shares of non-controlling shareholders and non-interested shareholders voted against such proposal must not represent more than two percent of the outstanding ordinary shares.
