II. RESOLUTIONS

 

1. INCREASE OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

The Company's authorized share capital is currently NIS 200,000,000 consisting of 2,500,000 Ordinary Shares, NIS 80.00 nominal value per share. As of November 30, 2014, 1,775,177 Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding, and 329,155 Ordinary Shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the Company's 2003 Share Option Plan and underlying outstanding warrants, leaving 395,668 Ordinary Shares available for future issuances.

 

The increase in authorized share capital would allow the Company to meet its future business needs as they arise. These purposes could include, among other things, the sale of shares in public and private offerings to raise additional capital, the purchase of property or assets, the acquisition of other companies, the use of shares for various equity compensation and other employee benefit plans and arrangements, the declaration of share splits or dividends, and other bona fide corporate purposes.

 

During fiscal 2013 and the first 11 months of fiscal 2014 (through the date of this proxy statement), the Company issued 526,183 ordinary shares in financing transactions, which generated gross proceeds of $2,100,000. The Company intends to engage in additional equity financings in the future, subject to market conditions, and to consider acquisitions and other transactions pursuant to which Ordinary Shares would be issued as such opportunities arise.

 

The additional authorized Ordinary Shares would have rights identical to the Company’s Ordinary Shares currently outstanding. Approval of the proposed increase in the number of authorized Ordinary Shares and any issuance of Ordinary Shares would not affect the rights of existing holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, except for the effects incidental to increasing the outstanding number of Ordinary Shares, such as dilution of earnings per share, if any, and voting rights of existing holders of Ordinary Shares.

 

If authorized, the additional Ordinary Shares may be issued with approval of the Board of Directors but without further approval of shareholders, unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Our ordinary shareholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to future issuances of Ordinary Shares. Thus, should the Board of Directors elect to issue additional Ordinary Shares, the Company’s existing shareholders will not have any preferential rights to purchase such shares and such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the voting power and percentage ownership of these shareholders.

 

The Board recommends that at the Meeting, the shareholders approve an increase of the authorized share capital of the Company by an additional NIS 120,000,000, comprised of 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares, NIS 80.00 nominal value per share.

 

Following the proposed increase in the authorized share capital, the total authorized share capital of the Company would be NIS 320,000,000, consisting of 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares, NIS80.00 nominal value per share.

 

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

 

RESOLVED, to approve an increase of 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company's authorized share capital, following which the Company's authorized share capital shall be NIS 320,000,000, divided into 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares, nominal value NIS 80.00 per Share. Concurrently with the share capital increase, it is hereby resolved to amend article 4.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association and section 4 of the Company’s Memorandum of Association, to reflect the share capital increase effected.”

 

Vote Required

 

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

2. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS: MR. ZELICOKVSY AND MS. LEVANON

 

At the Meeting, the shareholders are requested to reelect two directors to serve on the Board of Directors. Mr. Avidan Zelicovsky and Ms. Odelia Levanon will be nominated for reelection.

 

On November 16, 2014, Mr. Zelicovsky and Ms. Levanon were appointed as directors by the Board of Directors of the Company, in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association.

 

According to the Company's Articles of Association, a director appointed by the Board of Directors shall remain in service until the first annual general meeting of Shareholders following the date of his or her appointment or until he or she ceases to hold office pursuant to the provisions of the Company's Articles of Association. Such a director may be re-elected at the annual general meeting of shareholders.

 

Pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Association, the number of directors in the Company (including the two external directors) shall be determined from time to time by the annual general meeting, provided that it shall neither be less than four nor more than eleven. Upon approval of this resolution and if resolutions included in proposals 8 and 9 below are not approved, the board will comprise of eight directors. If this resolution and resolutions included in proposals 8 and 9 are approved, and the resolutions included in proposals 10 and 11 are not approved, the board will comprise of eleven directors.

 

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. The two proposed nominees have declared to the Company that they comply with such qualifications. Ms. Odelia Levanon also qualifies as an independent director in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rules.

 

The two nominees named in this Proposal 2, if elected, shall each hold office until the next annual general meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, unless any office is vacated earlier.

3. RE-ELECTION OF EXTERNAL DIRECTOR - MR. DAVID GOLAN

 

Companies incorporated under the laws of Israel whose shares have been offered to the public, such as the Company, are required by the Companies Law to have at least two external directors.

 

The Companies Law provides that a person may not be appointed as an external director if: (i) the person is a relative of a controlling shareholder; (ii) the person, or the person’s relative, partner, employer or an entity under that person’s control, has or had during the two years preceding the date of appointment any affiliation with the company, or the controlling shareholder or its relative or a corporation controlled or which has been controlled during the two years preceding the date of appointment by the Company or the controlling shareholder; (iii) in a company that does not have a controlling shareholder, such person has an affiliation (as such term is defined in the Companies Law), at the time of his appointment, to the chairman, chief executive officer, a shareholder holding at least 5% of the share capital of the company or the chief financial officer; and (iv) if such person’s relative, partner, employer, supervisor, or an entity he controls, has other than negligible business or professional relations with any of the persons with whom the external director himself may not be affiliated. The term “relative” means a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent and child, and child, sibling or parent of a spouse or the spouse of any of the foregoing. The term “affiliation” includes an employment relationship, a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis, control and service as an office holder (excluding service as an external director of a company that is offering its shares to the public for the first time).

 

In addition, no person may serve as an external director if the person’s position or other activities create or may create a conflict of interest with the person’s responsibilities as director or may otherwise interfere with the person’s ability to serve as director. If, at the time an external director is appointed, all members of the board of directors who are not controlling shareholders or their relatives, are of the same gender, then that external director must be of the other gender. A director of one company may not be appointed as an external director of another company if a director of the other company is acting as an external director of the first company at such time. For a period of two years from termination from office, the company or its controlling shareholder may not give any direct or indirect benefit to the former external director.

 

At least one of the external directors elected must have “accounting and financial expertise” and any other external director must have “accounting and financial expertise” or “professional qualification,” as such terms are defined by regulations promulgated under the Companies Law.

 

The external directors are required to be elected by the shareholders. The term of service of an external director is three years and generally it may be extended by two additional three year terms. As a company listed on Nasdaq, we may re-elect external directors for more than three terms, subject to certain conditions prescribed by law.

 

All of the external directors of a company must be members of its audit committee and its compensation committee, and any committee of a company’s board of directors that is authorized to carry out one or more powers of the board of directors must include at least one external director.

 

Our External Directors meet the standards of independence as defined under the Israeli Companies Law, the SEC regulations and NASDAQ Listing Rules.

 

As required under Israeli law, the Company has two external directors, Mr. David Golan and Ms. Orit Nir Schwartz. Ms. Schwartz's first term as an external director will end on December 20, 2014. Mr. Golan's second term as an external director expires on February 17, 2015.

 

On November 16, 2014, the Independent Committee of the Company, as well as the Board of Directors, recommended the re-election of David Golan to the Board as an External Director for an additional term. Subject to shareholder approval, Mr. Golan’s third term as an External Director shall commence on February 18, 2015.

 

A brief biography of Mr. David Golan is set forth below:

 

Mr. David Golan has been an external director of the Company since February 2009. Mr. Golan provides private investment banking, managerial and consulting services. He currently serves as a director in several companies, both public and private. Previously, until 2002, he served as an Executive Director of a group of companies in the Rad-Bynet group. In the years 1998-2000 he served as President of the Zeevi Investments group. Between 1997-1998, Mr. Golan served as President of Clal Trading Ltd. and between 1992-1997 he served as Vice President in Clal Trading Ltd. Between the years 1988-1992 Mr. Golan served as managing director of Gal Industries Ltd. Mr. Golan holds a bachelor's degree in Economics and Statistics from the Hebrew University, an MBA from New York University and took part in a senior management course in IMD Lausaunne.

 

Mr. Golan meets the legal requirements for an external director and has accounting and financial expertise, as well as professional qualifications.

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, to re-elect Mr. David Golan as an external director to the Company's Board of Directors, for an additional period of three years commencing on February 18, 2015.”

Vote Required

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 corporate body in which the 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 the holding of shares in the Company or in the corporate body. For this proposal 3, a personal interest does not include an interest in the resolution that is not as a result of ties to a controlling shareholder.

 

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 this Proposal No. 3. If any shareholder casting a vote in connection hereto does not explicitly indicate on the proxy card whether he, she or it has a Personal Interest with respect to this Proposal No. 3 or not, then such shareholder's vote on this Proposal No. 3 will not be counted.

5. RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF COMPENSATION TO EXTERNAL DIRECTORS

 

The compensation of the Company's external directors is regulated by the Israeli Companies Regulations (Rules Regarding Compensation and Expenses to External Directors) - 2000, as amended, or the Regulations, and the Companies Regulations (Alleviation for Public Companies whose Shares are Traded on a Stock Exchange Outside of Israel) - 2000, as amended.

 

Under the Israeli Companies Law and pursuant to the Regulations, a company is generally required to pay its external directors a minimum cash compensation in the form of an annual fee and a per meeting attendance fee (including for attendance at board of directors committee meetings). A nominee for external director must be informed of the compensation to be paid by a company prior to the nominee’s consent to serve in such capacity, and such compensation generally may not be modified during the three-year term of service. Also, the compensation paid to each of the company’s external directors must be the same (except that “expert external directors” may receive higher compensation than non-experts).

 

The Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved and ratified the proposed compensation for external directors.

 

The compensation consists of an annual fee and a per meeting attendance fee equal to the “fixed” statutory amount applicable to companies of the Company’s size, as set forth from time to time, in the applicable Regulations, subject to increase in accordance with the Israeli consumer price index of December 2007. Currently annual fee amounts to NIS 25,000 and the meeting attendance fee amounts to NIS 1,590. The external directors shall be entitled to 60% of the attendance fee for a Board meeting held via teleconference and to 50% of such fee for a meeting held without convening (in accordance with section 103 of the Israeli Companies Law).

 

In addition, upon commencement of any of their terms, external directors shall receive 375 Options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company on the terms as provided to the other (non-external) directors and described below. The regulations limit the amount of options that may be granted to external directors to be proportional to the amount of options granted to other directors in the Company (excluding directors who are employed by the Company or provide it with services on a regular basis).

 

The Options shall be granted pursuant to the Company's 2003 Share Options Plan. The terms of the Options are as follows:

 

  Exercise Price – Equal to the average closing price of the shares on the Nasdaq Global Market on the 20 trading days preceding the appointment of the director.
   
  Option Terms – The Options will vest and become exercisable over a period of three years, in three equal parts as follows: 33.33% after one year from the date of grant, with an additional 33.33% becoming exercisable upon the expiration of each of the two years thereafter.
   
  Maximum Option Term – Five years from grant.
   
  Payment – Payment for Ordinary Shares purchased upon exercise of Options must be made in full upon exercise of the Option, by cash or check or cash equivalent, or by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale of some or all of the shares being acquired upon exercise of an Option, or by any combination of the foregoing.

 

  Restrictions On Transfer – Options are exercisable only by such Option holder, and may not be assigned or transferred except following approval of the Company’s Audit Committee, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Options shall be exercisable during the term the Option holder holds office as a director of the Company or within 60 days after leaving this position, with certain exceptions in the case of the Option holder’s death or disability.

 

Under the Israeli Companies Law and its regulations, the adoption of the proposed resolution (in respect to the options’ component) requires the approvals of the Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and Shareholders, in that order. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved such compensation.

 

The Compensation of the external directors is in compliance with the Company's Compensation policy approved by the shareholders on November 7, 2013.

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, to approve the payment to the Company's External Directors, effective as of their respective commencement of term, of compensation in the form of the “fixed” amount of cash compensation payable to external directors pursuant to the Regulations, and to grant them 375 Options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company, at the terms specified in the Proxy Statement.”

6. RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF COMPENSATION TO DIRECTORS

In the event Mr. Edouard Cukierman's Active Chairman Agreement shall be approved by the Company’s shareholders (see proposal 7 below) he shall not be entitled to this director compensation described below.

 

The directors' compensation currently consists of an annual fee of NIS 26,140 and a meeting attendance fee of NIS 1,353. The directors shall be entitled to 60% of the attendance fee for a Board meeting held via teleconference and to 50% of such fee for a meeting held without convening (in accordance with section 103 of the Israeli Companies Law). Such compensation is linked to Israeli CPI index of October 2011.

 

On December 20, 2013, the Company's general meeting approved that the directors' described compensation shall be paid in Ordinary Shares instead of in cash (except for such directors who are members of the Company's Compensation Committee), under the following terms:

 

  Payment by issuance of Ordinary Shares once a year, at the end of each calendar year.
     
  The price per Ordinary Share used for the share consideration calculation will be equal to the weighted average closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the applicable stock market on the 20 trading days ending on December 31st of the applicable year.

 

In addition to the fees, all of the Company's first-time elected directors shall receive 375 Options to purchase the Company’s Ordinary Shares and, if applicable, an additional amount of 375 Options to purchase the Company’s Ordinary Shares on each third year anniversary of their service as directors of the Company, subject to their re-election at such time for an additional term as directors.

 

The Options shall be granted pursuant to the Company's 2003 Share Options Plan. The terms of the options are:

 

  Exercise Price – Equal to the average closing price of the shares on the Nasdaq Global Market on the 20 trading days preceding the appointment of the director.

 

  Option Terms – The Options will vest and become exercisable over a period of three years, in three equal parts as follows: 33.33% after one year from the date of grant, with an additional 33.33% becoming exercisable upon the expiration of each of the two years thereafter.
   
  Maximum Option Term – Five years from grant.
   
  Payment – Payment for Ordinary Shares purchased upon exercise of Options must be made in full upon exercise of the Option, by cash or check or cash equivalent, or by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale of some or all of the shares being acquired upon exercise of an Option, or by any combination of the foregoing.
   
  Restrictions On Transfer – Options are exercisable only by such Option holder, and may not be assigned or transferred except following approval of the Company’s Audit Committee, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Options shall be exercisable during the term the Option holder holds office as a director of the Company or within 60 days after leaving this position, with certain exceptions in the case of the Option holder’s death or disability.

 

Under the Israeli Companies Law, the adoption of the proposed resolution requires the approvals of the Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and Shareholders, in that order. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved such compensation, to apply to directors appointed to the Company's Board of Directors now and in the future.

 

The Compensation of the directors is in compliance with the Company's Compensation policy approved by the shareholders on November 7, 2013.

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, to approve a cash compensation and the grant of 375 Options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company, to all directors when newly elected to the Board of Directors and also upon their reelection for a forth consecutive term as directors (other than external directors and directors who are also employees of the Company), all as described in the Proxy Statement.”
