The voting instruction cards will be distributed by Broadridge Financial Solutions or each holder's bank or broker on behalf of the Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary of the ADSs, and the voting instruction cards will enable them to instruct the Bank of New York Mellon on how to vote the Company's ordinary shares represented by their ADSs with regard to the proposals listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Accordingly, please sign and date the voting instruction card at your earliest convenience and either submit it electronically using the instructions enclosed or mail it in the envelope provided.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

General

A form of proxy for use at the Annual Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are enclosed. Shareholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies before the effective 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 Annual Meeting. However, if a shareholder attends the Annual Meeting and does not elect to vote in person, his or her proxy will not be revoked. Unless otherwise indicated on the form of proxy, if a proxy is properly executed and received by the Company prior to the Annual Meeting, Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in favor of all the matters to be presented to the Annual Meeting, as described above. If a shareholder makes a specification on the form of proxy, the Shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with such specification. On all matters considered at the Annual Meeting, abstentions of a holder of Shares will be treated as neither a vote "for" nor a vote "against" the matter, although they will be counted in determining if a quorum is present.

Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary, and the holders of the ADSs, the Depositary shall endeavor (to the extent practicable and in accordance with applicable law and the articles of association of the Company) to vote or cause to be voted the number of Shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to the Depositary. If no instructions are received by the Depositary from a holder of ADSs on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary will not exercise any discretion in voting the Shares.

The Company shall bear the cost of the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling and shall reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of ordinary shares or ADSs.

ITEM1

RE-ELECTION OF CLASS II DIRECTOR

Background

In accordance with our Staggered Board, at each annual general meeting of our shareholders, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class will be for a term of office that expires on the date of the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election.

We are presenting one (1) nominee for election as director at the Annual Meeting, who is a current member of our Board of Directors. If re-elected, the nominee (i) will hold office until the annual general meeting of the shareholders to be convened in 2027, unless her office is vacated earlier pursuant to the provisions of our Articles of Association or applicable law and (ii) will be entitled to receive the compensation paid to all of our directors, other than the Chair.

Subject to the election of the proposed nominee in this Item 1, the size of our Board of Directors will be four (4) directors, of whom Eli Arad, David Gerbi and Sari Singer qualify as independent directors under the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq rules and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

In accordance with the Companies Law, the nominee has certified to us that she meets all the requirements of the Companies Law for election as a director of a public company, and possesses the necessary qualifications and has sufficient time to fulfill her duties as a director of the Company, taking into account the size and special needs of the Company.

During 2023, the nominee attended 100% of our Board and Board committee meetings, as applicable.

Our Board approved the re-election of the nominee at the Annual Meeting as a Class II director for a term to expire at the 2027 annual general meeting of our shareholders, and until her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until her office has been vacated in accordance with our Articles of Association or the Companies Law.

For details about compensation paid or payable to these nominees if elected, see below under the caption "Compensation Payable to our Directors," our Compensation Policy and Item 5 of this Proxy Statement.

Name		Age		Director Since		Position
Sari Singer		44		2021		Director

Sari Singer, Director

Sari Singer has served as a director since March 2021. Ms. Singer has served as General Counsel and Executive Vice President at NewMed Energy LP (formerly Delek Drilling LP), the oil and gas arm of the Delek Group in Israel, and a partner in the Leviathan offshore gas field, as well as other petroleum assets offshore Israel and Cyprus, since 2012, where she has led significant strategic processes, including restructurings and complex financing rounds totaling some $7 billion in various transactions in the international and domestic markets. Ms. Singer holds an LL.B. (cum laude) from Tel Aviv University and has been a member of the Israel Bar since 2007. We believe Ms. Singer is qualified to serve on our Board given her business experience and legal expertise.

The Proposed Resolutions

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Annual Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that Ms. Sari Singer be reelected, effective immediately, to serve as a Class II member of the Board of the Company until the close of the Company's annual general meeting of shareholders in 2027, and until her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until her office is vacated in accordance with our Articles of Association or the Companies Law."

Required Vote

See "Vote Required for Approval of Each Proposal" above.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the director nominee.

INCREASE OF AUTHORIZED CAPITAL

Background

The Company's authorized share capital is currently 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares, with no par value each, currently equivalent to 10,000,000 American Depositary Shares (ADSs). As of April 25, 2024, there were approximately 273.1 million issued ordinary shares and a total of approximately 491.6 million additional ordinary shares underlying options, warrants, RSUs and shares held in abeyance, issued or reserved for future issuance.

10

The Board believes that the small amount of remaining available share capital does not provide us with sufficient flexibility for our future financial and capital requirements, or for our pursuit of other potential business opportunities. In order to take proper advantage of favorable market conditions or to pursue such other opportunities, our Board recommends that we increase the number of ordinary shares that we are authorized to issue by 4,000,000,000 from 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares to 5,000,000,000 ordinary shares. That increase would be effected via the adoption of an amendment to Article 5(a) of our Articles of Association, which sets forth the Company's authorized share capital.

In addition to potential issuance in equity financings, acquisitions or other potential transactions, the additional ordinary shares would also be available to us for share dividends or splits should our Board decide that, in light of market conditions then prevailing, such measures would broaden the public ownership of, and enhance the market for, our ordinary shares. The additional shares would generally be available for issuance for these and other purposes at the discretion of our Board without, in most cases, the delays and expenses attendant to obtaining further shareholder approval.

Adoption of such an amendment to our Articles of Association would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights of our existing shareholders. Upon issuance, the additional authorized ordinary shares would have rights identical to the currently outstanding ordinary shares. If effected, a share split would reduce our earnings per share, but would not affect the voting or economic rights of our current shareholders, as each shareholder would continue to hold the same percentage interest in the Company.

Although our Board does not consider it to be an antitakeover proposal, if the proposed amendment to our Articles of Association is adopted, that would enable the Board to issue additional ordinary shares in a manner used to discourage hostile takeover attempts of the Company. Among other things, the additional shares could be privately placed, thereby diluting the share ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company, or the Board could (to the extent legally permitted under Israeli law) adopt a shareholders' rights plan that would provide for the issuance of additional ordinary shares in the event of certain purchases not approved by the Board.

The following is the full text of the proposed amendment to Article 5(a) of our Articles of Association increasing our authorized share capital and the number of ordinary shares that we may issue, as adopted by our Board and recommended for adoption by our shareholders at the Meeting (proposed new text is underlined and text proposed to be deleted is struck-through):

"5(a) The authorized share capital of the Company shall consist of 1,000,000,0005,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares without par value (the "Shares)".

We do not currently have any plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, to issue any of the ordinary shares that would become available if the proposed amendment to Article 5(a) of our Articles of Association is adopted.

Proposed Resolution

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Annual Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that an increase to the authorized share capital of the Company by 4,000,000,000, ordinary shares, with no par value each, such that the Company's authorized share capital shall be 5,000,000,000 ordinary shares, with no par value each, to be implemented via the adoption of an amendment to Article 5(a) of the Company's Articles of Association of the Company in the form set forth in the Company's Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, be, and hereby is, approved in all respects."

Required Vote

See "Vote Required for Approval of Each Proposal" above.

The Board recommends a vote FOR approval of the foregoing proposed resolution.

11

RE-APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Background

Somekh Chaikin, Certified Public Accountants (Israel), a member of KPMG International, or KPMG, have served as our auditors since 2019.

At the Annual Meeting, our shareholders will be asked to approve the re-appointment of KPMG as our independent auditors, pursuant to the recommendation of our Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

KPMG has no relationship with us or with any of our affiliates except as auditors and, to a limited extent, as tax consultants and providers of some other audit-related services. Our Audit Committee and Board of Directors believe that the independence of KPMG is not affected by such limited non-audit function and that, as a result of their familiarity with our operations and their reputation in the auditing field, they have the necessary personnel and professional qualifications to act as our auditors. At the Annual Meeting, our shareholders will also be asked to authorize our Board of Directors to delegate to our Audit Committee the authority to fix the compensation of our independent auditors.

The following table presents the aggregate fees for professional audit services and other services rendered by KPMG in the years indicated.

		Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in thousands)
		2023			2022
Audit fees(1)		$	329			$	295
Tax fees(2)			24				25
Total		$	353			$	320

(1)

Audit fees consist of fees billed or expected to be billed for the annual audit services engagement and other audit services, which are those services that only the external auditor can reasonably provide, and include the Company audit; statutory audits; comfort letters and consents; attest services; and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

(2)

Tax fees include fees billed for tax compliance services, including the preparation of original and amended tax returns and claims for refund; tax consultations, such as assistance and representation in connection with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to mergers and acquisitions, transfer pricing, and requests for rulings or technical advice from taxing authority; tax planning services; and expatriate tax planning and services.
