Whether or not you plan

proxy” from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting.
Our Board of Directors
recommends that you vote FOR each of the above proposals, which are described in the Proxy Statement.

Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the following week, at the same time and place. At
least two shareholders present, in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the adjourned meeting. This notice will serve as notice
of such reconvened meeting if no quorum is present at the original date and time and no further notice of the reconvened meeting will
be given to shareholders.
The last date for submitting
a request to include a proposal in accordance with Section 66(b) of the Companies Law, is November 20, 2023. To the extent any shareholder

Board Recommendation
Our board of directors
recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of Dov Farkash as a Class I director and each of the external director nominees
set forth in Proposal 2 and the approval of each of the other proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement.
Who Can Vote
Only shareholders of record
at the close of business on November 14, 2023 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting
and any adjournment or postponement thereof. You are also entitled to notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting if you held ordinary
shares through a bank, broker or other nominee that is one of our shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date,
or which appeared in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date. See below “How You Can Vote.”
How You Can Vote
You can vote your ordinary
shares by attending the Meeting, as described below. If you do not plan to attend the Meeting, the method of voting will differ for shares
held as a record holder and shares held as a beneficial owner through a broker, bank or nominee (i.e., shares held in “street name”).
Shareholders of Record.
If you are a shareholder of
record (i.e., your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent or in the Company’s share register), you
may vote by (i) attending and voting in person at the Meeting; (ii) by submitting your vote by proxy over the Internet, by logging on
to the website listed on the enclosed proxy, entering your control number located on the enclosed proxy card and submitting a proxy by
following the on-screen prompts, no later than later than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the designated time for the Meeting; or (iii)
by completing, signing and submitting the proxy card either by mail in the postage-paid envelope provided or via email in accordance with
the instructions set forth on the enclosed proxy card. Proxies must be received by our transfer agent or at our registered office in Israel
no later than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the designated time for the Meeting.
Beneficial Holders
If you are a beneficial owner
of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, trustee or nominee (i.e., your shares are held in “street name”) and
you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you must first obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee
that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting. If your ordinary shares are held in “street name”
and you wish to vote via proxy, please follow the voting instructions provided to you by your broker, bank, trustee or nominee.
Change or Revocation of Proxy
If you are a shareholder of
record, you may change your vote at any time prior to the exercise of authority granted in the proxy by delivering to us a written notice
of revocation, by granting a new proxy bearing a later date or by voting again via the Internet, or by attending the Meeting and voting
in person. Attendance at the Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.
If your shares are held in
“street name,” you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee or nominee or,
if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the
Meeting and voting in person.
Solicitation of Proxies
Certain officers, directors,
employees, and agents of ours, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, emails, or
other personal contact. We 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.
Quorum
The presence, in person or
by proxy, of two or more shareholders holding or representing, in the aggregate, at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s
voting rights will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. No business will be considered or determined at the Meeting unless the requisite
quorum is present within half an hour of the time designated for the Meeting. If within half an hour from the time designated for the
Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the following week, at the same time and place. At
least two shareholders present, in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the adjourned meeting. This notice will serve as notice
of such reconvened meeting if no quorum is present at the original date and time and no further notice of the reconvened meeting will
be given to shareholders.
Abstentions and broker non-votes
will be counted towards the quorum. Broker non-votes occur when brokers that hold their customers’ shares in street name sign and
submit proxies for such shares and vote such shares on some matters but not on others. This occurs when brokers have not received any
instructions from their customers, in which case the brokers, as the holders of record, are permitted to vote on “routine”
matters, but not on non-routine matters.
Unsigned or unreturned proxies,
including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for quorum or voting purposes.
Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals
Each ordinary share entitles
the holder to one vote. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person
or by proxy, and voting on the matter, is required to approve each of the proposals.
In addition, the
election of each of the external directors under Proposal 2 is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional
voting requirements (i) the shares voting in favor of the election of each external director nominee (excluding abstentions) include
at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a
personal interest in such election (excluding a personal interest that is not related to a relationship with a controlling
shareholder), or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the election of each external director nominee by shareholders
referred to in clause (i) does not exceed two-percent (2%) of our outstanding voting rights.
In addition, the approval
of each of Proposal 4 and 5 is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements: (i) the shares
voting in favor of the proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who do not have
a personal interest in the proposal, or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the proposal by shareholders referred to in clause
(i) does not exceed two-percent (2%) of our outstanding voting rights.
In addition, the approval
of each of Proposals 3B, 6 and 7A is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements: (i) the shares
voting in favor of the proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling
shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the proposal, or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the
proposal by shareholders referred to in clause (i) does not exceed two-percent (2%) of our outstanding voting rights.
GTRIMG beneficially owns 39.11%
of our outstanding ordinary shares as of the date of this Proxy Statement and is deemed our controlling shareholder (as defined in the
Companies Law) for purposes of Proposals 3B, 6 and 7A.
Each shareholder voting
on the election of the external directors under Proposal 2 and voting on Proposals 3B, 4, 5, 6 and 7A is required to indicate on the proxy
card or voting instruction form, or, if voting in person at the Meeting, inform us prior to voting on the matter at the Meeting, whether
or not the shareholder has a personal interest in the proposals (for purposes of Proposal 2, excluding a personal interest that is not
related to a relationship with a controlling shareholder). Otherwise, the shareholder’s vote will not be counted for the purposes
of the proposals. Under the Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder in an act or transaction of a company
(i) includes a personal interest of (a) any spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or descendant of the shareholder, any descendant, sibling
or parent of a spouse of the shareholder and the spouse of any of the foregoing; and (b) a company, with respect to which, the shareholder
(or any of the foregoing relatives of the shareholder) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the outstanding
shares or voting rights or has the right to appoint one or more directors or the chief executive officer; and (ii) excludes a personal
interest arising solely from the ownership of shares. Under the Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy, “personal
interest” includes the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy
holder has discretion how to vote.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth
certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of November 13, 2023, by (i) each person (or group of
affiliated persons) known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding ordinary shares; (ii) each of our current
directors, director nominees and executive officers; and (iii) all of our directors, director nominees and executive officers as a group.
The beneficial ownership
of our ordinary shares is determined in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”). Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or
shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes
the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security. For purposes of the table below, we deem ordinary
shares issuable pursuant to options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 13, 2023
to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options or warrants for the purposes of computing the
percentage ownership of that person, but we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership
of any other person. The percentage of ordinary shares beneficially owned is based on 178,299,561 ordinary shares outstanding as of
November 13, 2023.
Except where otherwise indicated,
we believe, based on information furnished to us by such owners and based on public information, that the beneficial owners of the ordinary shares
listed below have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares. In addition, none of our shareholders have different voting
rights from other shareholders.

of our shareholders thereafter, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the
directors of that class of directors will be for a term of office that expires on the third annual general meeting following such
election or re-election. Each director so elected will hold office until the annual general meeting of our shareholders for the year
in which his or her term expires, unless the tenure of such director expires earlier pursuant to the Companies Law or our Articles
of Association
Our Board of Directors is
divided among the three classes of directors (except for our Chief Executive Officer and the external directors, within the meaning of
the Companies Law) as follows:

our Class I director, Dov Farkash, will expire. Our Board of Directors has nominated Dov
Farkash for re-election at the Meeting as a Class I director for an additional three-year term to expire at the 2026 annual general meeting
of our shareholders, and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his office is vacated in accordance with our
Articles of Association and the Companies Law.
In addition, our Board of
Directors believes it is in the best interest of Company and its shareholders to elect an additional director to the Board of Directors
and subject to the approval of Proposal 8 at the Meeting, has nominated Gil Kerbs for election at the Meeting as a Class I director for
an initial three-year term to expire at the 2026 annual general meeting of our shareholders, and until his successor has been duly elected
and qualified or until his office is vacated in accordance with our Articles of Association and the Companies Law. If the shareholders
vote in favor of the election of Gil Kerbs at the Meeting but Proposal 8 is not approved at the Meeting, Gil Kerbs shall not be elected
as a Class I director of the Company.
In accordance with the Companies
Law, each of the director nominees has certified to us that he meets all the requirements of the Companies Law for election as a director
of a public company and that he possesses the necessary qualifications and is able to dedicate sufficient time to fulfill his duties as
a director of our Company, taking into consideration our Company’s size and special needs.
We are not aware of any reason
why Dov Farkash or Gil Kerbs, if elected, would be unable or unwilling to serve as a director. Should Dov Farkash or Gil Kerbs be unavailable
for election, the proxies will be voted for substitute nominee(s) designated by our Board of Directors.

PROPOSAL 2
ELECTION OF EXTERNAL DIRECTORS
(Item 2A and 2B on the Proxy Card)
Background
The
Israeli Companies Law requires companies incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel that are public companies to appoint at least
two external directors who meet the qualification requirements in the Israeli Companies Law. At our general meeting of shareholders held
in 2017, Mr. Ido Lapidot and Ms. Orly Solomon were elected to serve as external directors, each for an initial term of three years, and
they were each re-elected for an additional three-year term at our general meeting of shareholders held on December 28, 2020 (the “2020
AGM”). Ms. Solomon resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors and its committees effective as of September 12, 2023.
At the Meeting, shareholders
will be asked to re-elect Mr. Ido Lapidot as an external director for an additional three-year term, effective as of the expiration of
his current three-year term in December 2023. In addition, our Board of Directors approved, and recommended to our shareholders to approve,
the appointment of Ms. Limor Magen-Telem, to serve as an external director, within the meaning of the Companies Law, for an initial three-year
term, effective as of the Meeting.
The Companies Law
provides that a person may not serve as an external director if the person is a relative (as such term is defined in the Companies
Law) of a controlling shareholder or if, on the date of the person’s appointment or within the preceding two years, the person
or his or her relatives (as such term is defined in the Companies Law), partners, employers or anyone to whom that person is
subordinate (directly or indirectly), or entities under the person’s control have or had any affiliation with the company, the
controlling shareholder of the company or relative of a controlling shareholder, at the time of the appointment, or any entity that,
as of the appointment date is, or at any time during the two years preceding that date was, controlled by the company or by the
company’s controlling shareholder (each an “Affiliated Party”). If a company does not have a controlling
shareholder or any shareholder holding 25% or more of the company’s voting rights, a person may not serve as an external
director if the person has any affiliation to the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, any shareholder
holding 5% or more of the company’s shares or voting rights or the most senior financial officer as of the date of the
person’s appointment. The term “affiliation” generally includes: an employment relationship; a business or
professional relationship maintained on a regular basis (excluding insignificant relationships); control; and service as an office
holder (excluding service as a director in a private company prior to the first offering of its shares to the public if such
director was appointed as a director of the private company in order to serve as an external director following the initial public
offering). The Companies Law defines “office holder” as a general manager, chief business manager, deputy general
manager, vice general manager, any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of the foregoing positions, without regard to
such person’s title, a director and any other manager directly subordinate to the general manager. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a person may not serve as an external director if that person or that person’s relative, partner, employer, a
person to whom such person is subordinate (directly or indirectly) or any entity under the person’s control has a business or
professional relationship with any entity or person that has an affiliation with any Affiliated Party, even if such relationship is
intermittent (excluding insignificant relationships). Additionally, any person who has received, during his or her tenure as an
external director, direct or indirect compensation from the company for his or her role as a director, other than compensation
permitted under the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder (including indemnification or exculpation, the
company’s commitment to indemnify or exculpate such person and insurance coverage), may not continue to serve as an external
director.
In addition, no person may
serve as an external director if the person’s positions or other affairs create, or may create, a conflict of interest with that
person’s responsibilities as a director, or may otherwise interfere with such person’s ability to serve as a director, or
if the person is an employee of the Israel Securities Authority or of an Israeli stock exchange. If at the time an external director is
appointed all current members of the board of directors, who are not the controlling shareholder or relatives of the controlling shareholder,
are of the same gender, then the external director to be appointed must be of the other gender. In addition, a person who is a director
of a company may not be elected as an external director of another company if, at that time, a director of the other company is acting
as an external director of the first company. An external director must meet certain professional qualifications or have financial and
accounting expertise, as such terms are defined under regulations promulgated pursuant to the Companies Law. At least one external director
must have financial and accounting expertise. The board of directors determines whether a director possesses financial and accounting
expertise or professional qualifications. Each committee authorized to exercise any of the powers of the board of directors is required
to include at least one external director, and both the audit committee and compensation committee are required to include all of the
external directors. Our board of directors has determined that the minimum number of directors with financial and accounting expertise
is one and that Ms. Limor Magen-Telem qualifies as such.
External directors are elected
by the shareholders by a special majority. For details regarding the special majority requirements see “Vote Required for Approval
of the Proposals” above.
Under Israeli law, the initial
term of an external director of an Israeli public company is three years, and an external director may be reelected, subject to certain
circumstances and conditions, to two additional terms of three years.
External Director Nominees
Following a review process
of potential candidates, our Board of Directors recommends the election of Ido Lapidot and Limor Magen-Telem (together, the “External
Director Nominees”) as external directors, within the meaning of the Companies Law, each for a three-year term. In accordance
with the Companies Law, each of the External Director Nominees has certified to us that he/she meets all the requirements of the Companies
Law for election as a director of a public company and that he/she possesses the necessary qualifications and is able to dedicate sufficient
time to fulfill his/her duties as a director of our Company, taking into consideration our Company’s size and special needs.
Biographical information concerning
the External Director Nominees is set forth below.
Ido Lapidot has
served as an external director of the Company (within the meaning of the Companies Law) since December 2017. Mr. Lapidot is a
systematic innovation consultant and strategic planner, with over two decades of experience in driving innovation and sustainable
growth across diverse industries. Ido is a partner at Next Leap Ventures, an investment club comprising former Intel employees,
where he is in charge of identifying and nurturing groundbreaking technologies and startups and serving as NextLeap Ventures
representative on the boards of directors at Sanolla, Wadis, and Marine Edge. Previously, Mr. Lapidot held several key positions at
Intel R&D, Intel Labs, and Intel Corporate Services-EMEA, where he led LEAN manufacturing and TRIZ programs, and served as a
strategic technologies’ planner and TRIZ program leader. Mr. Lapidot also served as an external teacher for TRIZ and
systematic innovation at Afeka College of Engineering, at Azrieli College of Engineering, and Hadassah Academic College. Mr. Lapidot
holds an MA degree in Environmental Science, a BA degree in Chemistry, and a B.A. degree in Atmospheric Science from the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem. Mr. Lapidot also holds a TRIZ L3 certification from MA-TRIZ, a testament to his deep understanding of
innovation theory and practice.
Limor Magen Telem
is a lawyer and legal advisor with over twenty-five years of experience as a director in Israeli public companies. Ms. Magen Telem served
as a member of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) between June 2021 and November 2022 and was a member of the Knesset’s economic affairs
committee and a member of the Knesset’s internal committee for environmental quality and the constitutional and legal committee.
Prior to that, Ms. Magen Telem served as legal advisor to the Migdal Ha’Emek Municipality from 2001 until 2021. Ms. Magen Telem
has also served as an external director (within the meaning of the Companies Law) in several public companies, including Synel Mll Payway
Ltd.; Summit Ltd., where she also served as chairperson of the audit committee; and Poalim Continental Mutual Funds Ltd., where she also
served as chairperson of the investment committee. Ms. Magen Telem holds an LLB degree from the College of Management Academic Studies
and an LLM degree from the University of Haifa.
We are not aware of any reason
why either of the External Director Nominees, if elected, would be unable or unwilling to serve as an external director.
If elected at the Meeting,
the External Director Nominees will be entitled to an annual fee and per-meeting fees between the minimum and the maximum amounts payable
from time to time for such fees by the Company under the Compensation Regulations. In addition, at the Meeting, shareholders are being
asked to approve the grant of options to each of the External Director Nominees, subject to their respective election as external directors
at the Meeting and effective as of their respective commencement of service as external directors, under and in accordance with this Proposal
2 (see Proposal 3). If elected at the Meeting, the External Director Nominees will benefit from our directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policy, as in effect from time to time, and Mr. Lapidot will continue to benefit from the indemnification and exemption
agreement that we previously entered into with him. At the Meeting, shareholders are also being asked to approve our entering into an
indemnification and exculpation agreement with Ms. Magen Telem, subject to her election to serve as an external director at the Meeting
(see Proposal 7).
Proposed Resolution
The shareholders are being
asked to approve the re-election of Mr. Ido Lapidot and the election of Ms. Limor Magen-Telem, each to serve as an external director,
within the meaning of the Companies Law, for a three-year term. Each External Director Nominee will be voted on separately.
Approval Required
See “Vote Required for Approval
of the Proposals” above.
Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors
recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the External Director Nominees.
PROPOSAL 3
APPROVAL OF THE GRANT OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS,
INCLUDING THE EXTERNAL DIRECTOR NOMINEES
(Item 3A and 3B on the Proxy Card)
Background
Under the Companies Law, the
payment of compensation, including the grant of options, to a director (including an external director, within the meaning of the Companies
Law) that is consistent with a company’s compensation policy must be approved by the compensation committee, board of directors
and shareholders of that company, in that order.
The remuneration of external
directors of an Israeli company is regulated by the Companies Law and the Compensation Regulations. Under the Compensation Regulations,
provided that the requirements for payment to external directors of the annual and per meeting attendance fees are met, a company may
elect to further compensate its external directors in the form of a grant of securities. Such grant of securities must be made under a
compensation plan that includes all of the company’s officers and directors and must be in proportion to the securities granted
to the company’s “other directors,” within the meaning of the Compensation Regulations, provided that the company has
at least two “other directors.” The term “other director” generally refers to a director who is not: an external
director; a controlling shareholder; an employee or service provider of the company, an entity that is a controlling shareholder of the
company or an entity controlled by a controlling shareholder of the company; or a director who is not compensated by the company (compensation
in the form of securities does not constitute compensation for these purposes). The securities awarded to the external directors may not
be less than the securities awarded to any “other director,” nor may the award exceed the average securities awarded to all
of the “other directors.” A nominee for external director must be informed of the compensation to be paid by the company (and
in the case of a grant of securities, also the terms of grant) prior to the nominee’s consent to serve in such capacity, and such
compensation generally may not be modified during any three-year term of service. The compensation paid to each of a company’s external
directors must be the same, regardless of the form of compensation, except that expert external directors may receive higher compensation
than non-experts (provided that the compensation paid to each expert director must be the same).
In connection with the recommendation
to approve the terms of a new financing round (see Proposal 4), in view of the significant potential dilutive effect of the private placement,
if consummated, on the ownership percentage of our current executive officers and directors, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors
determined that it would be appropriate and in the Company’s best interest to award our executive officers and current directors
options in order to compensate them for such dilutive effect.
Accordingly,
our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, the grant to (i) each of our current
non-executive directors (i.e., Dov Farkash, Ofer Greenberger Keinan Maman and Ido Lapidot) and to Limor Magen-Telem (who is standing
for election for the first time at the Meeting as an External Director Nominee), of options to purchase 184,654 ordinary shares. The
option grants to Dov Farkash, Ido Lapidot and Limor Magen-Telem shall be subject to their respective election at the Meeting and
effective as of their respective commencement of new term of service in accordance with Proposals 1 and 2; (ii) Mr. Avi Magid, a
director and our Chief Executive Officer, of options to purchase 645,854 ordinary shares; and (iii) Fernando
de la Vega, a director and our Chief Technology Officer, of options to purchase 549,358 ordinary shares. The options shall have an
exercise price of US$0.07 per share and shall vest over a period of three years on a quarterly basis, in 12 equal installments,
subject to such individual’s continued engagement by the Company on each applicable vesting date. Any outstanding and
unvested Options shall fully accelerate upon a Transaction, as such term is defined in the Company’s 2010 Option Plan (the
“2010 Plan”), and a change of control of the Company. The options shall be
exercisable for seven years following the date of grant and all unexercised options will expire immediately thereafter. If approved
at the Meeting, the options shall be granted under, and shall be subject to, the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2010
Option Plan and the award agreement to be entered into with each of the optionees. The options shall be granted in accordance with
Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, under
the capital gains track though a trustee. The proposed award of the options to the directors and the External Director Nominees and
their terms are in accordance with the Company’s Compensation Policy for Executive Officer and Directors (the
“Compensation Policy”).
Proposed Resolutions
It is proposed that the following resolutions
be adopted at the Meeting:
3A: RESOLVED, to approve the grant of
options to each of the directors of the Company who shall serve in such capacity immediately following the Meeting (other than Avi Magid,
who also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Gil Kerbs), in such amounts and with such terms and conditions as described
in Proposal 3 of the Proxy Statement for the Meeting.
3B: RESOLVED, to approve the grant of
options to Avi Magid, a director and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in such amount and with such terms and conditions as
described in Proposal 3 of the Proxy Statement for the Meeting.
Approval Required
See “Vote Required for Approval
of the Proposals” above.
Board Recommendation
Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote
“FOR” the foregoing resolutions.
PROPOSAL 4
APPROVAL OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT WITH CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER
(Item 4 on the Proxy Card)
Background
The Company’s principal
existing shareholders, including GTRIMG, the Company’s controlling shareholder (collectively, the “Existing Shareholders”),
have expressed their agreement to continue to financially support the Company and invest additional funds in the Company by way of a private
placement of securities of the Company.
Accordingly, our Audit Committee
and Board of Directors have approved, subject to shareholder approval, to offer and sell to the Existing Shareholders, in a private placement,
units of its securities, each unit comprised of (each, a “Unit” and, collectively, the “Units”)
(i) one ordinary share, and (ii) a warrant to purchase an additional one ordinary share, exercisable until the second anniversary of the
issuance of such warrant at a per share exercise price of $0.07, subject to adjustment (the “Warrant”), at a per Unit
purchase price of $0.07 (the “Purchase Price”). The Warrants will have an exercise price per share equal to the Purchase
Price, will be exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire two years from issuance. The proceeds from the private placement
are intended to be invested in two closings:
| ● | In an initial offering, to be consummated in one or more closings no later than the close of business
on February 29, 2024, the Company offered to issue and sell to the Existing Shareholders units
of its securities for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $1.4 million. |
| ● | In a subsequent offering, to be consummated in one or more
closings no later than the close of business on May 31, 2024, the Company undertook to offer, issue and sell to the Existing Shareholders
additional Units for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to an additional $1.4 million (the “Follow-on Offering”).
The Follow-on Offering shall be closed by no later than the close of business on May 31, 2024, at which time the Follow-on Offering will
terminate. In the event that the Company shall raise funds from other sources (including grants) prior to May 31, 2024, the Follow-on
Offering (all or partially depending on the amount of funds raised) may be postponed to a later date to be determined with the consent
of the Existing Shareholders. |
Under the definitive agreements
entered into to date with the Existing Shareholders, which include GTRIMG (the “Investors”), such Investors undertook
to invest an aggregate $1,535,000 in the Private Placement, of which $775,000 in the Initial Offering and $760,000 in the Follow-on Offering,
for aggregate Units comprised of an aggregate 21,928,569 ordinary shares and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 21,928,569 Ordinary
Shares in respect of both offerings.
Of such aggregate proceeds
undertaken to be invested in the Private Placement to date, GTRIMG, the controlling shareholder of the Company, undertook to invest $600,000
in the Private Placement, in two equal tranches of $300,000 each in each offering. Under the Companies Law, a private placement in which
a controlling shareholder has a personal interest (within the meaning of the Companies Law) requires the approval of the audit committee,
the board of directors and the shareholders by a special majority (of disinterested shareholders). For details regarding the special majority
requirements see “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above. Accordingly, GTRIMG’s participation in the Private
Placement is subject to shareholder approval. If the shareholders do not approve this Proposal 4 at the Meeting, the Private Placement
will be consummated without the participation of GTRIMG.
The Audit Committee and Board
of Directors determined that the Private Placement is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and determined
to recommend that our shareholders approve the Private Placement. In evaluating the Private Placement, the Audit Committee and Board of
Directors considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s immediate need for funds in view of its current
cash position and longer-term liquidity needs and the consequences to the Company and its shareholders if it does not raise immediate
funds; and the Company management’s analysis that it would not likely be able to secure alternative sources of capital within the
time frame required by the Company to address its immediate cash requirements.
Approval Required
See “Vote Required for
Approval of the Proposals” above.
Proposed Resolution
It is proposed that the following resolution
be adopted at the Meeting:
RESOLVED, to approve a private placement
of the Company’s units, each comprised of an ordinary share and warrant to purchase an ordinary share, to GTRIMG Investments Ltd.,
the controlling shareholder of the Company, on such terms and conditions as set forth in Proposal 4 to the Proxy Statement for the Meeting.
Board Recommendation
Our Board of Directors
recommends that you vote “FOR” the foregoing resolution.
PROPOSAL 5
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT OF TERMS OF INVESTMENT
ROUND OF THE COMPANY IN WHICH OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER PARTICIPATED
(Item 5 on the Proxy Card)
Background
At the annual general meeting
of shareholders held on September 19, 2021 (the “2021 AGM”), our shareholders approved an investment in the Company
of up to an aggregate of $5,000,000, at a price per share of $0.07 (the “Price Per Share”), to be consummated no later
than 180 days from the 2021 AGM (i.e., no later than March 20, 2022) (the “Approved Financing”), and the participation
of GTRIMG, our controlling shareholder, in the Approved Financing.
During the period of July
2021 and through July 2022, the Company and the Existing Shareholders entered into definitive agreements relating to a private placement
of the Company’s ordinary shares for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $3.0 million (including approximately $230,000 plus
interest thereon upon conversion of certain convertible loan agreements), at the Price Per Share. The Company issued to the Existing Shareholders
an aggregate of 42,926,031 ordinary shares in the private placement. GTRIMG invested an aggregate $900,000 in the private placement.
In
October 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements with the Existing Shareholders pursuant to which the Company raised aggregate
gross proceeds of $2,681,534 by way of a private placement, under the following terms:
| ● | The Company offered, issued and sold to the Existing Shareholders units of its securities for aggregate
gross proceeds to the Company of $1.0 million (the “Initial Offering”),
each unit comprised of (each, a “Unit”) (i) one ordinary share, and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”)
to purchase an additional two ordinary shares, exercisable through the earlier of (a) the closing of a subsequent offering of Company
securities by the Company to qualified investors with an effective price per ordinary share of at least $0.20 and (b) the second anniversary
of the issuance of the Warrant, in each case at a per share exercise price equal to the Price Per Share, subject to adjustment, at a per
Unit purchase price equal to the Price Per Share. The Company issued an aggregate of 14,285,712
ordinary shares and Warrants to purchase an aggregate 28,571,425 ordinary shares to the Existing Shareholders that
participated in the Initial Offering in respect of the $1.0 million raised. |
| ● | The Company undertook to offer, issue and sell to the Existing Shareholders, following the closing of
the Initial Offering, additional ordinary shares for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to an additional $1.0 million (the
“Follow on Offering”), at the Price Per Share, which offering was subject to the achievement by the Company of certain
pre-defined milestones on or before December 31, 2022, subject to a further extension at the discretion of the Company, to a date on or
before February 28, 2023. Following the partial fulfillment of the milestones, the Company initially raised from certain of the Existing
Shareholders $705,000 in the Follow on Offering. In April 2023, pursuant to the terms of
the subscription agreement, Teuza – A Fairchild Technology Venture Ltd. (“Teuza”) joined the Follow on Offering,
as extended, in the amount of $295,000, resulting in aggregate proceeds to the Company of $1.0 million in the Follow-on Offering, which
completed the Follow-on Offering. The Company issued an aggregate of 14,285,713
ordinary shares to the Existing Shareholders that participated in the Follow on Offering in respect
of the $1.0 million raised. |
| ● | The Company undertook to offer, issue and sell to the Existing
Shareholders, following the initial closing of the Follow on Offering, additional ordinary shares for aggregate gross proceeds to the
Company of up to an additional $800,000 (the “Final Offering”), at the Price Per Share, which offering was subject
to the achievement by the Company of a certain additional milestone set forth in the subscription agreements and any additional milestones
to be agreed upon in good faith negotiations (the “Second Level Milestones”). According to the terms of the subscription
agreements, the Final Offering was to be closed by no later than the close of business on the 30th business day after the delivery
of notice by the Company to the Existing Shareholders that the Second Level Milestones have been achieved. Insight Capital Ltd. (“Insight”),
a company controlled by Leon Recanati, and GTRIMG, undertook to invest $300,000 each in the Final Offering ($600,000 in total), if the
Second Level Milestones are achieved. Notwithstanding that the Second Level Milestones had not yet been fulfilled, in April 2023, Teuza
waived such condition and pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreement, invested in this round in the amount of $105,000. In April
2023, following the Company’s notice of the fulfillment of the Second Level Milestones, Insight invested in May 2023 $300,000 in
this round, and in August 2023, GTRIMG invested $276,534 in this round, resulting in aggregate proceeds to the Company of $681,534 in
the Final Offering, which completed the financing round under the October 2022 private placement. The Company issued an aggregate 1,500,000
ordinary shares to Teuza in respect of the $105,000 it invested in the Final Offering and 4,285,714 ordinary shares to Insight in respect
of the $300,000 it invested in the Final Offering. The Company expects to issue 3,950,487 ordinary shares to GTRIMG in respect of the
$276,534 it invested in the Final Offering. |
Accordingly, the Company received
aggregate gross proceeds of $5,681,534 in the two private placements described above, of which $1,876,534 was invested by GTRIMG.
Under the Companies Law, an
extraordinary transaction with a controlling shareholder, including a private placement in which a controlling shareholder has a personal
interest (within the meaning of the Companies Law) requires the approval of the audit committee, the board of directors and the shareholders
by a special majority. For details regarding the special majority requirements see “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals”
above.
Accordingly, we are seeking
shareholder approval of an amendment to the terms of the Approved Financing, in which our controlling shareholder participated, such that
the maximum aggregate gross proceeds to the Company in the Approved Financing shall be up to $5,800,000 and the term for the completion
of the Approved Financing shall be extended accordingly.
Approval Required
See “Vote Required for
Approval of the Proposals” above.
Proposed Resolution
It is proposed that the following resolution

PROPOSAL 6
RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF EXTENSION OF ACTIVE
CHAIRMAN AGREEMENT WITH EXORO LTD.
(Item 6 on the Proxy Card)
Dov Farkash has served as
the Active Chairman of our Board of Directors since April 19, 2020. In April 2020, we entered into an Active Chairman Agreement (the “Chairman
Agreement”) with Exoro Ltd. (“Exoro”), a company wholly owned by Mr. Dov Farkash, which was ratified and
approved by our shareholders at the 2020 AGM, which provided that Exoro, through Mr. Farkash, is to provide certain services to us as
active chairman, focusing on go-to-market strategy. We agreed to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Farkash and to include
him in our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Mr. Farkash agreed not to provide any services that would conflict
with or compete with ours. We agreed to pay to Exoro a monthly service fee of NIS 40,000 (approximately $10,395 based on the NIS/US dollar
exchange rate as published by the Bank of Israel on November 8, 2023 of $1.00 = NIS 3.848) plus value-added tax. In addition, we granted
to Mr. Farkash options to purchase 939,164 ordinary shares under our 2010 Option Plan, at an exercise price of $0.068 per share, vesting
over three years from April 19, 2020, with one-third vesting after one year and the remainder vesting monthly over a 24-month period.
Exoro was entitled to reimbursement of expenses in connection with the provision of the services and was provided with a budget of $10,000
per month for travel. According to the approval of the shareholders at the 2020 AGM, the initial term of the Chairman Agreement was for
four months, and we had the right to renew the agreement for an additional nine months, which we exercised. Either party could terminate
the Chairman Agreement upon 45 days prior written notice. The Chairman Agreement could also be terminated by us for Cause (as defined
in the Chairman Agreement).
Notwithstanding the expiration
of the Chairman Agreement in accordance with the approved terms on May 19, 2021, Mr. Farkash has continued to serve as Active Chairman
in accordance with the terms thereof. We paid Exoro most (but not all) of the compensation due for Mr. Farkash’s foregoing service
as Active Chairman and have recorded a monthly expense for the unpaid balance of the service fee to Exoro as a liability in our balance
sheet.
Accordingly, our Compensation
Committee and Board of Directors determined to ratify and approve, subject to shareholder approval, the extension of the Chairman Agreement,
effective as of its expiration on May 19, 2021 and so long as Mr. Farkash shall serve as Active Chairman of our Board of Directors, including
the approval of the payment to Mr. Farkash of any amounts that would otherwise have been payable to Mr. Farkash since the expiration of
the Chairman Agreement in accordance with its terms. As the compensation payable to Exoro under the Chairman Agreement exceeds the maximum
amounts payable to a director of the Company under the Compensation Policy, when ratifying and approving the extension of the Chairman
Agreement, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered the applicable factors required to be considered under the Companies
Law when approving compensation that is not consistent with a company’s compensation policy. Our Compensation Committee and Board
of Directors believe that the Chairman Agreement appropriately compensates Mr. Farkash for his significant contribution and dedication
to the Company in his capacity as Active Chairman.
Under the Companies Law,
the compensation of a director that is not consistent with a compensation policy requires the approval of the compensation
committee, board of directors and the shareholders by a special majority. For details regarding the
special majority requirements see “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above.

Approval of the Proposals” above.
Proposed Resolution
It is proposed that the following
resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
RESOLVED, to ratify and approve the
extension of the Chairman Agreement between the Company and Exoro Ltd., effective as of the expiration of the Chairman Agreement and so
long as Mr. Farkash shall serve as Active Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, as set forth in Proposal 6 of the Proxy Statement
for the Meeting.
Board Recommendation
Our Board of Directors
recommends that you vote “FOR” the foregoing resolution.
PROPOSAL 7
APPROVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION
AGREEMENTS WITH CERTAIN DIRECTORS
(Item 7A and 7B on the Proxy Card)
Under the Companies Law and
the Israeli Securities Law, 5738—1968 (the “Securities Law”), a company may indemnify an office holder for the
following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred for acts performed by him/her as an office holder (within the meaning of the Companies
Law), either pursuant to an undertaking given by the company in advance of the act or following the act, provided its articles of association
authorize such indemnification:
| ● | a monetary liability imposed on him/her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a
settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such
liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors,
can be foreseen based on the company’s activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount, or according to
criteria, determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances. Such undertaking shall detail the foreseen events
and amount or criteria mentioned above; |
| ● | reasonable litigation expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder
(1) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him/her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation
or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and
(ii) no financial liability was imposed upon him/her as a substitute for a criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding
or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent
(mens rea); and (2) in connection with a monetary sanction; |
| ● | expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by an office holder in relation
to an administrative proceeding instituted against such office holder, or certain compensation payments made to an injured
party imposed on an office holder in connection with an administrative procedure under the Securities Law; and |
| ● | reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed
by a court in proceedings instituted against him/her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or in connection with criminal
proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for an offense that does not require proof of criminal
intent (mens rea). |
Under the Companies Law, a
company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty, but may exculpate an office holder in advance
from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care, but provided
that a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in the company’s articles of association. Our articles of association
include such a provision. Under Israeli law, we also may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising out of a prohibited
dividend or distribution to shareholders.
Under the Companies Law, a
company may not indemnify or exculpate an office holder against any of the following:
| ● | a breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the
company to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the
company; |
| ● | a breach of the duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of
the negligent conduct of the office holder; |
| ● | an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or |
| ● | a fine or penalty levied against the office holder. |
Our
Articles of Association permit us to indemnify, exculpate and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted under the Companies
Law and the Israeli Securities Law. We have entered into agreements with our current directors and executive officers (other than
Mr. Avi Magid and Mr. Keinan Maman) in the form of indemnification agreement approved by our shareholders at the annual general meeting
of shareholders held on September 12, 2019, attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Indemnification Agreement”),
exculpating them from liability to us for damages caused to us as a result of a breach of duty of care and undertaking to indemnify them,
in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law and our Articles of Association, to the extent that these liabilities are not covered
by insurance, all subject to limited exceptions. Indemnification for any monetary liability incurred by or imposed on a director or officer
in favor of a third party is limited to certain events that were determined as foreseeable by our Board of Directors based on our operations,
as set forth in the indemnification agreements. Under such indemnification agreements, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification
that we may pay to all of our directors and offices together based on such indemnification agreements is $5,000,000.
Under the Companies Law, the
compensation of the chief executive officer and a director of a public company, including an undertaking to indemnify and exculpate a
director, that is consistent with the Compensation Policy, requires the approval of the compensation committee, board of directors and
shareholders, by an ordinary majority in the case of a director and by a special majority in the case of the chief executive officer (for
details regarding the special majority, see “Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals” above). The entering into the Indemnification
Agreement with our directors and officers is consistent with our Compensation Policy.
Accordingly, we are seeking
shareholder approval of our entering into an Indemnification Agreement with each of Mr. Avi Magid, who has served as our Chief Executive
Officer since July 17, 2022 and as a director since March 2, 2023, and Mr. Keinan Maman, who was appointed to serve as a Class II director
on March 6, 2023. In addition, we are seeking shareholder approval of our entering into an Indemnification Agreement with Gil Kerbs, subject
to his election to serve as a Class I director at the Meeting (see Proposal 1) and Limor Magen-Telem, subject to her election to serve
as an external director at the Meeting (see Proposal 2).
Approval Required
See “Vote Required for
Approval of the Proposals” above.
Proposed Resolutions
It is proposed that the following resolutions
be adopted at the Meeting:
7A: RESOLVED, to approve our entering
into an indemnification and exculpation agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Proxy Statement, with Mr. Avi Magid,
the chief executive officer of the Company and a director.
7B: RESOLVED, to approve our entering
into an indemnification and exculpation agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Proxy Statement, with Mr. Keinan Maman,
a Class II director, and Gil Kerbs and Limor Magen-Telem, subject to their election to serve as directors at the Meeting.
Board Recommendation
Our Board of Directors
recommends that you vote “FOR” the foregoing resolutions.
Proposal
8
Amendment
of the Company’s Articles of Association
(Item 8 on the Proxy Card)
Background
Under our Articles of Association,
the number of directors on our Board of Directors will be no less than three and no more than seven directors, with all directors (other
than the external directors, within the meaning of the Companies Law) divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms, designated
as Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class of directors to consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of
directors other than the external directors. For additional information regarding the composition of our Board of Directors, see Proposal
1.
Our Board of Directors recommends
that our shareholders approve an amendment to our Articles of Association to increase the maximum number of directors serving on the Company’s
Board of Directors to eight directors. The adoption of this proposed amendment to our Articles of Association will allow the election
of Gil Kerbs as an additional director to the Board, who is nominated for election by shareholders at this Meeting as a Class I director
for an initial three-year term to expire at the 2026 annual general meeting of our shareholders, and until his successor has been duly
elected and qualified or until his office is vacated in accordance with our Articles of Association and the Companies Law, which the Board
believes is in the best interest of Company and its shareholders.
If this Proposal 8 is approved
at the Meeting, Article 48 of the Company’s Articles of Association will be amended and restated as follows:
| |
“48. |
Number
of Directors. The number of directors serving on the Board of Directors may be determined from time to time by the Board of
Directors provided however that the overall number of directors at a given time be not less than three (3) and not more than eight
(8).” |
Proposed Resolution
It is proposed that the following
resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
RESOLVED, to approve an amendment to
the Company’s Articles of Association to increase the size of the Company’s Board of Directors to a maximum of eight directors,
as set forth in Proposal 8 to the Proxy Statement for the Meeting.

Proposal
9
APPROVAL
OF APPOINTMENT OF ZIV HAFT (BDO FIRM), C.P.A., AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
(Item 9 on the Proxy Card)
Background
In accordance with the rules
of the Commission, Israeli law and our Articles of Association, the appointment of our independent auditors requires the approval of the
shareholders of the Company following the approvals of the Audit Committee and Board of Directors.
At a special general meeting
of our shareholders held on April 14, 2023, our shareholders appointed Ziv Haft (BDO Member Firm), CPA (“BDO”), as
the Company’s independent auditors to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31,
2022, and for such additional period until the Company’s next annual general meeting. At the Meeting, following the recommendation
of our Audit Committee and Board of Directors, shareholders will be asked to approve the re-appointment of BDO as the Company’s
independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2023, and for an additional period until the Company’s
next annual general meeting of shareholders.
BDO has no relationship with
us or our subsidiaries except as our independent auditors, and from time to time and to a limited extent, provides us with tax related
services. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors believe that the re-appointment of BDO as the Company’s independent auditors
to perform the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the period of its appointment is appropriate and
in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
In
accordance with the rules of the Commission, Israeli law and our Articles of Association, subject to the approval of this proposal,
our Audit Committee and Board of Directors will determine the compensation of BDO during the period of its appointment as the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, for audit and other services, in accordance with the scope and nature
of their services. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we accrued on account of services of BDO, $135,000
for audit services and $20,000 for tax services.
Proposed Resolution
It is proposed that the following
resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
RESOLVED, to ratify and approve the
re-appointment of Ziv Haft (BDO Member Firm), CPA, as the independent registered public accountants of the Company for the year ending
December 31, 2023, and for such additional period under the next annual general meeting of shareholders.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

indemnification
agreement
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”),
dated as of [___] [_], 20xx, is entered into by and between P.V. Nano Cell Ltd., an Israeli company whose address is 8 Hamasger
Street Migdal Ha’Emek, Israel (the “Company”), and the undersigned Director or Officer of the Company whose
name appears on the signature page attached hereto (the “Indemnitee”).
| WHEREAS, | Indemnitee is an Office Holder (“Nosse Misra”), as
such term is defined in the Companies Law, 5759–1999, as amended (the “Companies Law”
and “Office Holder” respectively), of the Company; |
| WHEREAS, | both the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of litigation
and other claims being asserted against Office Holders of companies and that highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve
corporations as directors and officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate
indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to, and activities on behalf
of, companies; |
| WHEREAS, | the Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company (the
“Articles”) authorize the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to its Office
Holders and provide for insurance and exculpation to its Office Holders, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
and this Agreement is provided to Indemnitee in accordance with applicable law, the Articles and all requisite corporate approvals;
|
| WHEREAS, | the Company has determined that (i) the increased difficulty in attracting
and retaining competent persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and that the Company should act
to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future, and (ii) it is reasonable, prudent and
necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not
be so indemnified; |
| WHEREAS, | the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying on the obligations
of the Company set forth in this Agreement in agreeing to serve the Company, which obligations are therefore irrevocable; and |
| WHEREAS, | in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for substantial protection
against loss arising from the Indemnitee’s liability, including costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee due to his or her
position as an Office Holder. in order to assure Indemnitee’s continued service to the Company in an effective manner and, in part,
in order to provide Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance that the indemnification, insurance and exculpation afforded by the
Articles will be available to Indemnitee, the Company wishes to undertake in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing
of expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and as set forth in this Agreement and provide for insurance
and exculpation of Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement. |
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree
as follows:
| 1. | INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. |
| 1.1. | The Company hereby undertakes to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
and the Articles, as each may be amended from time to time, for any liability and expense specified in Sections 1.1.1 through 1.1.4.
below, imposed on Indemnitee due to or in connection with an act performed by such Indemnitee, either prior to or after the date hereof,
in Indemnitee’s capacity as an Office Holder, including, without limitation, as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary
of the Company, any subsidiary thereof or any another corporation, collaboration, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
in which Indemnitee serves at any time at the request of the Company (the “Corporate Capacity”). The term “act
performed in Indemnitee’s capacity as an Office Holder” shall include, without limitation, any act, omission and failure to
act and any other circumstances relating to or arising from Indemnitee’s service in a Corporate Capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that the Office Holder is the beneficiary of an indemnification undertaking provided by a subsidiary of the Company or any
other entity, with respect to his Corporate Capacity with such subsidiary or entity, then the indemnification obligations of the Company
hereunder with respect to such Corporate Capacity shall only apply to the extent that the indemnification by such subsidiary or other
entity does not actually fully cover the indemnifiable liabilities and expenses relating thereto. The following shall be hereinafter referred
to as “Indemnifiable Events: |
| 1.1.1. | Any financial liability imposed on such Office Holder or incurred by an Office Holder in favor of another
person by a court judgment, including a compromise judgment or an arbitrator’s award approved by court; |
| 1.1.2. | reasonable litigation Expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and the fees and Expenses
of investigators, accountants and other experts, expended by the Office Holder or charged to such Office Holder by court, (i) in
a proceeding instituted against the Office Holder by the Company or on its behalf or by another person; or (ii) in any criminal proceeding
in which the Office Holder is acquitted; or (iii) in any criminal proceeding for an offense which does not require proof of criminal
intent and of which the Office Holder is convicted; |
| 1.1.3. | reasonable litigation Expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and the fees and Expenses
of investigators, accountants and other experts, expended by an Office Holder as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted
against the Office Holder by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, which: (i) is Concluded Without
The Filing Of An Indictment (as defined in the Companies Law) against the Office Holder and without the imposition on the Office Holder
of any Financial Obligation In Lieu of Criminal Proceedings (as defined in the Companies Law), or (ii) which is Concluded Without
The Filing Of An Indictment against the Office Holder, but with the imposition on the Office Holder of a Financial Obligation In Lieu
of Criminal Proceedings in respect of an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent or in connection with a financial sanction; |
| 1.1.4. | A financial obligation imposed upon an Office Holder and reasonable litigation Expenses, including without
limitation reasonable attorney fees, expended by the Office Holder as a result of an Administrative Proceeding (as defined below) instituted
against the Office Holder. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, such obligation or expense will include a payment
which the Office Holder is obligated to make to an injured party as set forth in Section 52(54)(a)(1)(a) of the Securities Law,
and Expenses that the Office Holder incurred in connection with a proceeding under Chapters H’3, H’4 or I’1of the Securities
Law, including reasonable legal Expenses, which term includes attorney fees.; and |
| | For the purpose of this Agreement, “Expenses” shall include, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with investigating,
defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in
any claim, action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation relating to any
matter for which indemnification hereunder may be provided, and costs and expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee in successfully
enforcing this Agreement. Expenses shall be considered paid or incurred by Indemnitee at such time as Indemnitee is required to pay
or incur such cost or expenses, including upon receipt of an invoice or payment demand. The Company shall pay the Expenses in
accordance with the provisions of Section1.3. “Administrative Proceeding” shall mean a proceeding pursuant
to Chapter H’3 (Imposition of Financial Sanctions by the Securities Authority), H’4 (Imposition of Administrative
Enforcement Measures by the Administrative Enforcement Committee) or I’1 (Arrangement to Prevent the Initiation of Proceedings
or to Conclude Proceedings, Subject to Conditions) of the Securities Law. |
| 1.2. | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company’s undertaking to indemnify the Indemnitee
in advance under Section 1.1.1 shall only be with respect to events described in Exhibit A hereto. The Board of Directors
of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the categories of events listed in Exhibit A are likely
to occur in light of the operations of the Company. The maximum amount of indemnification payable by the Company under Section 1.1.1
of this Agreement with respect to all persons with respect to whom the Company undertook to indemnify under agreements similar to this
Agreement (the “Indemnifiable Persons”), for all events described in Exhibit A shall be as set forth
in Exhibit A hereto (the “Limit Amount”). If the Limit Amount is insufficient to cover all the indemnity
amounts payable with respect to all Indemnifiable Persons, then such amount shall be allocated to such Indemnifiable Persons pro rata
according to the percentage of their culpability, as finally determined by a court in the relevant claim, or, absent such determination
or in the event such persons are parties to different claims, based on an equal pro rata allocation among such Indemnifiable Persons.
The Limit Amount payable by the Company as described in Exhibit A is deemed by the Company to be reasonable in light of
the circumstances. The indemnification provided under Section 1.1.1 herein shall not be subject to the limitations imposed by this
Section 1.2 and Exhibit A if and to the extent such limits are no longer required by the Companies Law. |
| 1.3. | If so requested by Indemnitee, and subject to the Company’s repayment and reimbursement rights set
forth in Sections 3 and 5 below, the Company shall pay amounts to cover Indemnitee’s Expenses with respect to which Indemnitee
is entitled to be indemnified under Section 1.1 above, as and when incurred. The payments of such amounts shall be made by the Company
directly to the Indemnitee’s legal and other advisors, as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) days
after written demand by such Indemnitee therefor to the Company, and any such payment shall be deemed to constitute indemnification hereunder.
All amounts paid as indemnification hereunder shall be grossed up to cover any tax payment that Indemnitee may be required to make if
the indemnification payments are taxable, subject to the Limit Amount if required by applicable law. As part of the aforementioned undertaking,
the Company will make available to Indemnitee any security or guarantee that Indemnitee may be required to post in accordance with an
interim decision given by a court, governmental or administrative body, or an arbitrator, including for the purpose of substituting liens
imposed on Indemnitee’s assets. |
| 1.4. | The Company’s obligation to indemnify Indemnitee and advance Expenses in accordance with this Agreement
shall be for such period as Indemnitee shall be subject to any actual, possible or threatened claim, action, suit, demand or proceeding
or any inquiry or investigation, whether civil, criminal or investigative, arising out of the Indemnitee’s service in the Corporate
Capacity as described in Section 1.1 above, whether or not Indemnitee is still serving in such position (the “Indemnification
Period”). |
| 1.5. | The Company undertakes that, subject to the mandatory limitations under applicable law and the Articles,
as in effect from time to time, as long as it may be obligated to provide indemnification and advance Expenses under this Agreement, the
Company will purchase and maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which will include coverage for
the benefit of the Indemnitee, providing coverage in amounts as reasonably determined by the Board; provided that, the Company shall have
no obligation to obtain or maintain directors and officers insurance policy if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance
is not reasonably available, the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or the coverage
provided by such insurance is so limited by exclusions that it provides an insufficient benefit. The Company hereby undertakes to notify
the Indemnitee thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination of such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. |
| 1.6. | The Company undertakes to give prompt written notice of the commencement of any claim hereunder to the
insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in each of the policies. The Company shall thereafter diligently take all actions
reasonably necessary under the circumstances to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of
such action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation in accordance with the terms of such policies. The above shall not derogate from
Company’s authority to freely negotiate or reach any compromise with the insurer which is reasonable at the Company’s sole
discretion provided that the Company shall act in good faith and in a diligent manner. |
| 1.7. | In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons
or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has
requested it, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination
contrary to that presumption. |
| 2. | SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, the Company shall not indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to (i) any act, event or circumstance
with respect to which it is prohibited to do so under applicable law, or (ii) a counter claim made by the Company or in its name in connection
with a claim against the Company filed by the Indemnitee.
| 3.1. | In the event that the Company provides or is required to provide indemnification with respect to Expenses
hereunder and at any time thereafter the Company determines, based on advice from its legal counsel, that the Indemnitee was not entitled
to such payments, the amounts so indemnified by the Company will be promptly repaid by Indemnitee, unless the Indemnitee disputes the
Company’s determination, in which case the Indemnitee’s obligation to repay to the Company shall be postponed until such dispute
is resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable order. |
| 3.2. | Indemnitee’s obligation to repay to the Company for any Expenses or other sums paid hereunder shall
be deemed as a loan given to Indemnitee by the Company subject to the minimum interest rate prescribed by Section 3(9) of the Income Tax
Ordinance [New Version], 1961, or any other legislation replacing it, which is not considered a taxable benefit. |
| 4.1. | In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment
to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do everything that may be necessary
to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce
such rights. |
The Company shall not be liable under
this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Indemnifiable Event to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received
payment under any insurance policy or otherwise (without any obligation of Indemnitee to repay any such amount) of the amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder. Any amounts paid to Indemnitee under such insurance policy or otherwise after the Company has indemnified Indemnitee
for such liability or Expense shall be repaid to the Company as soon as practical upon receipt by Indemnitee, in accordance with the terms
set forth in Section 3.2.
The Company represents and warrants
that this Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms and was duly adopted and approved by the Company, and
shall be in full force and effect immediately upon its execution and shall continue to be in full force for the duration of the Indemnification
Period. This Agreement shall be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms and shall be in full force and effect immediately
upon its approval by the Company’s general meeting of shareholders.
| 7. | NOTIFICATION AND DEFENSE OF CLAIM. |
Indemnitee shall notify the Company
of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, and of the receipt of any notice or threat that any such legal proceeding has been
or shall or may be initiated against Indemnitee (including any proceedings by or against the Company and any subsidiary thereof), promptly
upon Indemnitee first becoming so aware; but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which
it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement unless and to the extent that such failure to provide notice materially and adversely impacts
the Company’s ability to defend such action. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial
Officer of the Company at the address shown in the preamble to this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in
writing to Indemnitee). With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the commencement
thereof and without derogating from Sections 1.1 and 2:
| 7.1. | The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense. |
| 7.2. | Except as otherwise provided below, the Company, alone or jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Company. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ
his or her own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company
of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee, unless: (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee
has been authorized in writing by the Company; (ii) the Company shall have, in good faith, reasonably concluded that there
may be a conflict of interest under the law and rules of attorney professional conduct applicable to such claim between the Company and
Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action; or (iii) the Company has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense
of such action within reasonable time, in which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as
to which the Company shall have reached the conclusion specified in (ii) above. |
| 7.3. | The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts or expenses
paid in connection with a settlement of any action, claim or otherwise, effected without the Company’s prior written consent. |
| 7.4. | The Company shall have the right to conduct the defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion (provided
that the Company shall conduct the defense in good faith and in a diligent manner and that the Company and its counsel shall keep the
Indemnitee reasonably notified on a regular basis of all events in the action), including the right to settle or compromise any claim
or to consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitee, provided that, the amount of such
settlement, compromise or judgment does not exceed the Limit Amount (if applicable) and is fully indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement
(subject to Section 1.2 of this Agreement) and/or applicable law, and any such settlement, compromise or judgment does not impose
any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent. The Indemnitee’s consent shall not
be required if the settlement includes a complete release of Indemnitee, does not contain any admission of wrong-doing by Indemnitee,
and includes monetary sanctions only as provided above. In the case of criminal proceedings the Company and/or its legal counsel will
not have the right to plead guilty or agree to a plea-bargain in the Indemnitee’s name without the Indemnitee’s prior written
consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any proposed settlement. |
| 7.5. | Indemnitee shall fully cooperate with the Company and shall give the Company all information and access
to documents, files and to his or her advisors and representatives as shall be within Indemnitee’s power, in every reasonable way
as may be required by the Company with respect to any claim that is the subject matter of this Agreement and in the defense of other claims
asserted against the Company (other than claims asserted by Indemnitee), provided that the Company shall cover all expenses, costs and
fees incidental thereto such that the Indemnitee will not be required to pay or bear such expenses, costs and fees. |
Subject to the provisions of the Companies
Law, the Company hereby releases, in advance, the Office Holder from liability to the Company for any damage that arises from the breach
of the Office Holder’s duty of care to the Company (within the meaning of such terms under Sections 252 and 253 of the Companies
Law), other than breach of the duty of care towards the Company in a distribution (as such term is defined in the Companies Law).
The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Articles, applicable law or otherwise, and to the extent
that during the Indemnification Period the indemnification rights of the then serving Indemnitees are more favorable to Indemnitees than
the indemnification rights provided under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to the full benefits of such more favorable indemnification
rights to the extent permitted by law.
| 10. | PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. |
If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually
or reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any proceedings, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled under
any provision of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section5 above, any amount received by Indemnitee (under any insurance
policy or otherwise) shall not reduce the Limit Amount hereunder and shall not derogate from the Company’s obligation to indemnify
the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement up to the Limit Amount, as set forth in Section 1.2.
This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company or
a transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to the
same indemnification and insurance provisions as the most favorable indemnification and insurance provisions afforded to the then-serving
Office Holders of the Company. In the event that in connection with such transaction the Company purchases a directors and officers’
“tail” or “run-off” policy for the benefit of its then serving Office Holders, then such policy shall cover Indemnitee
and such coverage shall be deemed to be in satisfaction of the insurance requirements under this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue
in effect during the Indemnification Period regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve in a Corporate Capacity.
Any amendment to the Companies Law,
the Israeli Securities Law, the RTP Law or other applicable law adversely affecting the right of the Indemnitee to be indemnified, insured
or released pursuant hereto shall be prospective in effect, and shall not affect the Company’s obligation or ability to indemnify
or insure the Indemnitee for any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, unless otherwise provided by applicable law.
The provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (i)
a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent
and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision
or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the
validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
All notices and other communications
pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed provided if delivered personally, telecopied, sent by electronic facsimile,
email, reputable overnight courier or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the parties
at the addresses shown in the preamble to this Agreement, or to such other address as the party to whom notice is to be given may have
furnished to the other party hereto in writing in accordance herewith. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been delivered
and received (i) in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such delivery, (ii) in the case of telecopier or an electronic facsimile
or email, one business day after the date of transmission if confirmation of receipt is received, (iii) in the case of a reputable overnight
courier, three business days after deposit with such reputable overnight courier service, and (iv) in the case of mailing, on the seventh
business day following that on which the mail containing such communication is posted.
| 14. | GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. |
This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions
of those laws. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of Tel
Aviv, Israel for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement.
| 15. | ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION. |
This Agreement represents the entire
agreement between the parties and supersedes any other agreements, contracts or understandings between the parties, whether written or
oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby
clarified that nothing contained herein derogates from the Company’s right in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law and
the Articles, to indemnify Indemnitee post factum for any amounts the Indemnitee may be obligated to pay.
| 16. | NO MODIFICATION AND NO WAIVER. |
No supplement, modification or amendment,
termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar)
nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Any waiver shall be in writing. The Company hereby undertakes not to amend its Articles
of Association in a manner which will adversely affect the provisions of this Agreement.
| 17. | ASSIGNMENTS; NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS |
Neither party hereto may assign any
of its rights or obligations hereunder except with the express prior written consent of the other party. Nothing herein shall be deemed
to create or imply an obligation for the benefit of a third party. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed
to create any right of any insurer that provides directors and officers’ liability insurance, to claim, on behalf of Indemnitee,
any rights hereunder.
| 18. | INTERPRETATION; DEFINITIONS. |
The obligations of the Company as

and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument; it being understood that parties need not sign the same counterpart.
