Shareholders of record at the close of business on April 14, 2025 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting, either in person or by appointing a proxy to vote in their stead at the Meeting (as detailed below).

 

Required Vote and Voting Procedures

 

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), each of Proposals 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 to be presented at the Meeting, described hereinafter, require a Simple Majority (as defined in the Proxy Statement herein) of votes in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

 

Each of Proposals 1 and 5 to be presented at the Meeting requires a Special Majority (as defined in the Proxy Statement herein), of votes in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

 

 

 

How You Can Vote

 

A form of proxy for use at the Meeting is attached to the Proxy Statement, together with a return envelope, will be sent to holders of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value each (the “Ordinary Shares”). By appointing “proxies,” shareholders may vote at the Meeting regardless of whether they attend in person. If a properly executed proxy in the attached form is received by the Company at least four (4) hours prior to the Meeting, all of the Ordinary Shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the form. Subject to applicable law and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, in the absence of instructions, the Ordinary Shares represented by properly executed and received proxies will be voted “FOR” all of the proposed resolutions to be presented at the Meeting for which the Board recommends a vote “FOR”.

 

Shareholders may revoke their proxies or voting instruction form (as applicable) in accordance with Section 9 of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Voting in Writing and Position Statements), 5766-2005 by filing with the Company a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) bearing a later date and time.

  

Shareholders of Record

 

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to use the proxy card included with this Proxy Statement to grant your voting proxy directly to Yafit Tehila, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (yafit@inspirao2.com), and Joe Hayon, the President and a director of the Company (joe@inspirao2.com), or to vote in person at the Meeting.

 

Beneficial Owners

 

If your shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner with respect to those shares. A holder of shares in “street name” as of the Record Date has the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote shares held by such beneficial owner at the Meeting and must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certification of incorporation, as the case may be. If your shares are held in “street name,” as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are to be forwarded to you by your bank, broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, as the shareholder of record, together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your shares. You may also attend the Meeting. Since a holder of shares in “street name” is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those shares directly at the Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares directly, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting. Absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion, among other things, with respect to the election of directors or any matter that relates to executive compensation (proposals 1 to 7), which we believe are considered as non-routine under applicable rules; and therefore, a “broker non-vote” occurs with respect to such uninstructed shares. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds ordinary shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its shares if the shareholder wants its shares count for all proposals.

 

  Sincerely,
   
  /s/ Tal Parnes
  Chairman of the Board of Directors

Since then, there have been considerable additional demands placed on directors due to increased corporate and regulatory requirements and considering our directors’ average time commitment, the market rate needed to attract and qualified members, the nature of the role and growth in the Company’s business, we believe that an increase in remuneration is fair and reasonable in all the relevant circumstances relating to the Company’s affairs, the nature, extent and liabilities associated with service as a non-executive director or otherwise by reference to prevailing corporate governance standards and practices; and (ii) that the New Annual Fee to Non-Executive Directors is in accordance with our Policy.

The Grant of RSUs to Mr. Hayon is granted in accordance with the capital gain track of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, 1961, as applicable.

 

In making its recommendation with regard to the approval of the Grant of RSUs to Mr. Hayon, the Compensation Committee and the Board each have considered all relevant considerations and discussed all matters required under the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and also considered, inter alia: (i) the responsibilities, of Mr. Hayon and his contribution to the Company’s achievements and execution of the Company’s strategy; (ii) that the Grant of RSUs to Mr. Hayon reflects a fair and reasonable value for Mr. Hayon’s services, commitment and contribution to the Company’s achievements; (iii) that the Grant of RSUs to Mr. Hayon is in accordance with the Policy; (iv) that the Grant of RSUs to Mr. Hayon is meant to establish and maintain an alignment of interests between Mr. Hayon and the Company’s shareholders; and (v) that the value of the Mr. Hayon’s compensation, including the Grant of RSUs to Mr. Hayon, is on par with similar companies, in accordance with comparative data reviewed by the Compensation Committee and the Board.

 

The shareholders of the Company are requested to adopt the following resolution:

 

RESOLVED, to approve the Grant of RSUs to Mr. Hayon, as set forth in the Proxy Statement.”
