We are furnishing this proxy statement to the holders of ordinary shares, no par value, of magicJack VocalTec Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (referred to as "we," "us" or the "Company"), in connection with the solicitation by the Company's board of directors (the "Board") of proxies for use at a special meeting of shareholders and any adjournment thereof (the "Meeting").  The Meeting will be held on July 31, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. local time at the offices of Bryan Cave LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 35 th Floor, New York, NY 10104.

1.
To approve the Employment Agreement, Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement with the Company's president and chief executive officer, Don Carlos Bell III;
 
2.
To approve the amendment and restatement of the Company's 2013 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares that may be issued under the plan and to make certain other changes;

5.
To approve changes to the compensation paid to non-employee members of the Company's Board.
 
YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
 
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on each Proposal is necessary for the approval of each Proposal.  In addition, the approval of Proposals 1 and 4 is also subject to the fulfillment of one of the following additional voting requirements:  (i) the majority of the shares that are voted at the Meeting in favor of the relevant Proposal, excluding abstentions, include at least a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the Proposal or (ii) the total number of shares held by the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against the proposal does not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.
 

Under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999, as currently amended (the "Companies Law"), a personal interest means a personal interest of a person in an act or transaction of a company, including:  (i) a personal interest of that person's relative (which includes for these purposes any members of his/her (or his/her spouse's) immediate family or the spouses of any such members of his or her (or his/her spouse's) immediate family); or (ii) a personal interest of another entity in which that person or his or her relative holds 5% or more of such entity's issued shares or voting rights, has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer of such entity, or serves as director or chief executive officer of such entity, including the personal interest of a person voting pursuant to a proxy whether or not the proxy grantor has a personal interest.  A personal interest resulting merely from holding the Company's shares will not be deemed a personal interest.  If you do not state whether you have personal interest in a Proposal requiring the special approval, you will be deemed to have a personal interest for the purpose of the required majority detailed above.
 
Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed "non-routine."  Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares.  If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be "routine," but not with respect to "non-routine" matters.  In the event that a broker, bank, or other agent indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a non-routine proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes and will not be treated as either a vote "for" or "against" a proposal.  Under Israeli law, broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business.  All of the Proposals are considered non-routine and brokers or other nominees may vote only those shares for which the beneficial owner has given instructions on how to vote.
 
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE " FOR " EACH OF THE PROPOSALS.
 
The Board is soliciting proxies for use at the Meeting.  A form of proxy card for use at the Meeting is attached.  The completed proxy card should be mailed to the Company in the pre-addressed envelope provided and should be received by the Company not less than 24 hours before the time fixed for the Meeting.  Upon the receipt of a properly executed proxy card in the form enclosed, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card will vote the ordinary shares covered by the proxy in accordance with the directions of the shareholder executing the proxy.  In the absence of instructions, the persons named as proxies intend to vote the ordinary shares covered by the proxy cards IN FAVOR of each proposal.
 
You may revoke the authority granted by your execution of a proxy at any time until two hours before the Meeting by presenting to the Company at its registered office proof of your identity as it appears on the proxy and withdrawing the proxy, at the Meeting itself, in which case you may only vote your shares by attending the Meeting in person and voting at the Meeting.  Any shareholder that holds, as of the record date set for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting, either (i) 5% or more of the total voting rights in the Company, or (ii) 5% or more of the total voting rights in the Company held by all shareholders that are not control persons, may, directly or through a representative after the Meeting is held, review, at the Company's registered office, all proxies received by the Company with respect to the Meeting.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on June 20, 2017 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Proxies are being mailed to shareholders on or about June 26 , 2017 and will be solicited by the Company mainly by mail. Certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation, may solicit proxies by telephone, fax or other personal contact. Additionally, we have engaged a proxy solicitor to assist with the solicitation of proxies and expect that the cost of such proxy solicitor to be approximately $10,000. We will furnish copies of solicitation materials to brokerage firms, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians for forwarding to their respective principals. We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of ordinary shares. You may vote shares directly held in your name in person at the Meeting. If you want to vote in person at the Meeting shares held in street name, you must request a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds the shares, and must present such legal proxy at the Meeting.
 
On June 20, 2017, the Company had outstanding 16,096,384 ordinary shares, each of which is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting. Two or more shareholders, present in person or by proxy and holding shares conferring in the aggregate more than 33.33% of the voting power of the Company, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Abstentions may be specified on all proposals. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum and will not be counted as voting on the proposal in question. Submitted proxies which are left blank will also be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes from the time appointed for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the following week, at the same time and place, or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairman of the Meeting may determine. At such adjourned Meeting, two or more members, present in person or by proxy and holding shares conferring in the aggregate more than 33.33% of the voting power of the Company, will constitute a quorum.

PROPOSAL 1:

APPROVAL OF THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT,
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT AND RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
WITH DON CARLOS BELL III, THE COMPANY'S PRESIDENT
AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
 
Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law ("Amendment No. 20"), which came into effect in December 2012, requires that the terms of service and employment of a company's chief executive officer ("CEO") be approved by the company's compensation committee, board of directors, and the shareholders of the company, by a special majority vote as detailed below.  The approval of the compensation committee and board of directors must be in accordance with an approved compensation policy.
 
The Company's Compensation Committee and Board of Directors (the "Board") have approved the terms of service and employment of Mr. Bell in accordance with the terms of the Company's Amended Compensation Policy as approved by the shareholders at the 2016 annual meeting on April 19, 2017 and with the Companies Law, including engaging and consulting with a third party compensation consultant, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, which produced a senior executive compensation benchmarking study for the Company.  The Compensation Committee and the Board considered Mr. Bell's education, qualifications, expertise, professional experience and achievements, as well as the scope of his responsibility of the position, his expected contributions to the Company and the Company's need to hire and retain office holders who have Mr. Bell's skills, know-how and unique expertise.
 
Based on the Compensation Committee's recommendation and the Board's findings, on May 8, 2017, the Board approved, and the parties entered into, an Employment Agreement, Restricted Stock Agreement and Option Agreement which set forth the terms of service of employment and compensation to be paid to Mr. Bell as the Company's CEO, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company.  Each of these Agreements was filed as exhibits to a Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 7, 2017.  Compensation in connection with Mr. Bell's Employment Agreement will not be paid until shareholder approval is received, at which time all accrued compensation will be paid.
 
Below is a description of the material provisions of the proposed Employment Agreement, Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Share Agreement, all of which is part of the Bell compensation package and subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting.
 
General Terms
 
Mr. Bell is employed as President and CEO of the Company and has all authority and responsibility commensurate with the President and CEO titles, including ultimate responsibility for and authority over all day-to-day matters and personnel of the Company.  The term of employment will be for three years, beginning on March 9, 2017.
 
5

Annual Base Salary; Signing Bonus
 
Mr. Bell will be paid an annual base salary of $500,000, subject to review each calendar year and possible increases in the sole discretion of the Board, subject to the compensation policy of the Company then in effect.  Mr. Bell will also receive a signing bonus of $500,000.
 
Bonus on Change of Control
 
The Employment Agreement provides for a special transaction bonus if the closing of a transaction resulting in a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) occurs before the one-year anniversary of the execution date of the Employment Agreement and Mr. Bell is still employed by the Company on the closing date. A bonus is based on the sales price or Company valuation in the Change of Control transaction.  If the price/value is less than the lowest target, Mr. Bell will receive no bonus.  If the price/value is at least the lowest bonus target, Mr. Bell will receive $2,000,000.  If the price/value equals or exceeds the second bonus target, Mr. Bell will receive $2,500,000.  The Board provided for this special transaction bonus in recognition that none of Mr. Bell’s long-term equity incentives will vest as a result of a Change of Control occurring before the one-year anniversary of the grant on May 8, 2018.
 
Annual Bonus
 
For each fiscal year of employment during which the Company employs Mr. Bell, he shall be eligible to receive a bonus based on the Company meeting certain performance criteria.  Mr. Bell's target annual bonus will equal his annual base salary (the "Target Annual Bonus").  The annual bonus will range from 35% to 200% of the Target Annual Bonus.  The bonus formula and performance criteria for fiscal year 2017 will be based: (i) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the fiscal year; and (ii) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the fiscal year.  The Company's target revenue and target EBITDA was set by the Compensation Committee and communicated to Mr. Bell in May 2017.  The annual bonus formula and performance criteria for calendar years 2018 and 2019 will be based: (i) one-third on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the applicable fiscal year; (ii) one-third on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the applicable fiscal year, and (iii) one-third on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of another objective Key Performance Indicator (the "KPI Target") for the applicable fiscal year to be determined by the Board, or the Compensation Committee of the Board, after consultation with Mr. Bell.  For purposes of the Employment Agreement, "EBITDA" shall mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistent with the application of such concepts in developing the Company's annual budget, subject to adjustments for one-time occurrences outside the ordinary course of business as deemed appropriate by the Company's Compensation Committee.
 
If the Company's financial statements are restated for a period for which an Annual Bonus has been paid under the terms of the Agreement, the Annual Bonus amount for such period will be re-calculated by the Company (the "Recalculated Bonus Amount").  In any such event, the difference between the Annual Bonus in question and the Recalculated Bonus Amount will be paid to or refunded by Mr. Bell, as applicable, not later than 60 days after the restatement, provided that no such adjustments will be made at any time after the second anniversary of the Annual Bonus payment in question.
 
Except as described below under "Termination", Mr. Bell will be entitled to receive an Annual Bonus only if he is employed by the Company pursuant to the Employment Agreement at the close of business on the last day of the applicable fiscal year with respect to the Annual Bonus.
 
6

Executive Benefits and Reimbursements
 
Mr. Bell will be entitled to 20 paid-time-off days per fiscal year.  Mr. Bell will be eligible to participate in, without action by the Board or any committee thereof, any benefits and perquisites available to the executive officers of the Company, including any group health, dental, life insurance, disability, or other form of executive benefit plan or program of the Company now existing or that may be later adopted by the Company. The Company will reimburse Mr. Bell for all ordinary and necessary business expenditures made by him in connection with, or in furtherance of, his employment upon presentation by him of supporting information as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Board.
 
Equity Grant
 
Mr. Bell was granted an option to purchase 1,883,165 of the Company's ordinary shares at an exercise price of $9.51, representing approximately 118% of the fair market value of the Company's shares on the date of grant (the "Options"), pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated May 8, 2017.  In addition, on May 8, 2017, Mr. Bell was granted 149,068 restricted shares (the "Restricted Stock") pursuant to a Restricted Stock Agreement dated May 8, 2017.  The Restricted Stock was granted under the terms of the Company's 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.  The Option was granted under the terms of the Company's Amended 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Amended Plan"), and is subject to the approval of the Amended Plan by the Company's shareholders.  Both grants are subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting, and if shareholder approval is not obtained, the grants will be cancelled.  See Proposal 2, below for details concerning approval of the Amended Plan.
 
The Options and Restricted Stock are to vest as follows: 1/3 of the Options and Restricted Stock will vest on each of May 8, 2018, March 9, 2019 and March 9, 2020, subject to Mr. Bell’s continued employment by the Company. After the one year anniversary of their respective grant dates, both equity grants are subject to partial accelerated vesting in the event of Mr. Bell’s termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason” (as each is defined in the Employment Agreement) or in the event of his termination as a result of his death or disability, and full accelerated vesting under certain circumstances related to a “Change of Control” of the Company. If a Change of Control of the Company occurs before the one-year anniversary of the grant (i.e., before May 8, 2018), there will be no accelerated vesting of these grants.
 
Termination
 
Either Mr. Bell or the Company may terminate Mr. Bell's employment under the Employment Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice.
 
(i)
Upon termination of Mr. Bell's employment prior to a Change in Control by Mr. Bell for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Bell will be entitled to a termination payment equal to one times the sum of (a) Mr. Bell's annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Bell's Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether that is the case).
 
7

(ii)
Upon termination of Mr. Bell's employment by the resignation of Mr. Bell or by the Company, by reason of death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above or the immediately following paragraph below, Mr. Bell will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of Mr. Bell's resignation or termination (including any Annual Bonus that may be due and payable to Mr. Bell).
 
(iii)
If upon or within six months subsequent to a Change of Control, Mr. Bell’s employment is terminated by Mr. Bell for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, Mr. Bell will be entitled to and be paid a termination payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to two times the sum of (a) Mr. Bell’s annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b)   Mr.   Bell’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case); provided, however, that any Change of Control closes after the six month anniversary of the execution date of the Employment Agreement and the Change of Control transaction meets a per share threshold price as provided in the Agreement.   In the event a Change of Control transaction closes in the first six months of Mr. Bell’s employment (i.e., before November 18, 2017), or closes pursuant to an agreement entered into in the first six months of Mr. Bell’s employment, he will not be entitled to the Change of Control Payment upon his termination.
 
Mr. Bell will not be entitled to any Severance Payment (as defined in the Employment Agreement) unless Mr. Bell executes and delivers to the Company a general release of claims on terms described in the Employment Agreement.
 
Restrictive Covenants
 
Mr. Bell agrees during the term of his employment and until two years after termination of employment, (A) he will not engage in any business or activity which is the same as or competitive with any business or activity conducted by the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries or (B) become an officer, employee or consultant of or otherwise assume a substantial role or relationship with, any governmental entity, agency or political subdivision that is a client or customer of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided that Mr. Bell may invest in securities of any public company so long as he does not beneficially own more than 5% of the class of publicly traded securities.  During the period of Mr. Bell's employment and until three years after the termination of employment, Mr. Bell will not, without the Company's prior written consent, seek to employ or otherwise seek the services of any employee or consultant of the Company or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries.  Mr. Bell also agrees to restrictive covenants with respect to confidentiality and work product.
 
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:

2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
 
General
 
The Company previously established the magicJack VocalTec, Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") pursuant to Board action and shareholder approval.  On May 8, 2017, the Board approved an increase in the number of our ordinary shares available under the plan and certain other changes to the plan designed to align equity incentives with the creation of long-term value, subject to the approval of the shareholders.  A copy of the Amended and Restated magicJack VocalTec, Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Amended 2013 Plan") is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.
 
Management and the Board believe that the use of stock based compensation is important to the Company to recruit and retain qualified persons.  The 2013 Plan was intended to assist the Company in attracting and retaining executives of outstanding ability and to promote the alignment of their interests with those of the shareholders of the Company.  The Board believes the purposes of the plan are being served and that the increase in the number of shares available for grants will further the Company's objectives.  The Board believes the other changes to the plan serve to better align equity incentives with the creation of long-term value.
 
Description of the Amended 2013 Plan
 
The following summary of the material features of the Amended 2013 Plan, as proposed, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the attached Amended 2013 Plan.  Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Amended 2013 Plan.
 
Material Changes to the 2013 Plan
 
The material changes in the Amended 2013 Plan from the 2013 Plan are as follows:
 
·
An increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan from an aggregate of 3,600,000 ordinary shares (including shares underlying Awards pursuant to the Company's 2013 Israeli Stock Incentive Plan for those plan participants resident in, or subject to the tax laws of, Israel) to an aggregate of 5,600,000 ordinary shares (including shares issued pursuant to Awards under the Amended 2013 Israeli Stock Incentive Plan described below).
 
·
Adding limitations on the Company's ability to re-use Shares underlying Awards that are forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminated.
 
·
Including a share counting provision to deduct from the maximum share limit 2.24 Shares for every Share underlying a "Full-Value Award" (Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Awards) to properly reflect the value difference between Full Value Awards and ordinary share options ("Options").
 
·
Adding a minimum vesting period of at least one year for Awards.

Adding a prohibition of the payment of dividends on unvested Awards.
 
10

·

Limiting the circumstances under which a change in control transaction results in acceleration of vesting.
 
Other than the above and certain technical changes to the language of the 2013 Plan, the Amended 2013 Plan and the 2013 Plan are identical.  The following summary tracks the summary of the 2013 Plan and notes where the Amended 2013 Plan has changed from the 2013 Plan.
 
Eligibility
 
The Amended 2013 Plan authorizes the grant of Options (including Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options), Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards, Dividends and Dividend Equivalents, or any combination of the foregoing to all persons who are at the time of the grant of an award Employees (including persons who may become Employees), members of the Board or the board of directors of an Affiliate, or consultants or independent contractors to the Company or of any Affiliate, as may be selected from time to time.  As of the date hereof, 129 Employees (including officers) and five members of the Board are eligible to receive grants under the Amended 2013 Plan. The number of consultants or independent contractors to the Company eligible to receive grants under the 2013 Plan is not determinable.
 
Administration
 
The Amended 2013 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee or by such other committee or subcommittee appointed by the Board or an authorized Committee of the Board (all of which will hereinafter be referred to as the "Administrator").  The Administrator has all the powers vested in it by the terms of the Amended 2013 Plan, including the authority to determine eligibility and the terms of Awards, and otherwise administer the Amended 2013 Plan, provided that the grant of awards under the Amended 2013 Plan by the said committee is in accordance with detailed criteria determined by the Board.  In making these determinations, the Administrator may take into account the nature of the services rendered or to be rendered by the Award recipients, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company and its Affiliates, and such other factors as the Administrator in its discretion shall deem relevant.  The Administrator may delegate its authority to the extent it deems desirable and is consistent with the requirements of applicable law.
 
Shares Available For The Amended 2013 Plan
 
Total Share Limit .  If the shareholders approve the Amended 2013 Plan, a maximum of 5,600,000 Shares will be available for Awards (including Incentive Stock Options), less any Shares issued pursuant to the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan (discussed below).  This represents a change from the limit of 3,600,000 shares issuable under the 2013 Plan, provided that a maximum of 1,154,893 of such shares could be granted as Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (which limit also included Awards issued pursuant to the 2013 Israeli Plan).
 
11

Share Counting and Re-Use .  Under the 2013 Plan, if an Option expires or terminates unexercised, if shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, or if Shares covered by an Award are not issued or are forfeited, the unissued or forfeited Shares that had been subject to the Award shall be available for the grant of additional Awards (except for Shares withheld to pay the Exercise Price of an Option or withholding taxes) under the 2013 Plan.  Under the Amended 2013 Plan, effective for all Awards granted after the Effective Date (meaning after shareholder approval of the Amended 2013 Plan), the aggregate number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan will be reduced by 2.24 Shares for each Share delivered in settlement of any "Full-Value Award" and one Share for each Share delivered in settlement of an Option.  If any Award is forfeited, cancelled, settled in cash, returned to the Company for failure to satisfy vesting requirements or other conditions of the Award, or otherwise terminates without an issuance of Shares, the maximum share limit will be credited in accordance with the share counting provision described above and those Shares will again be available for Awards under the plan.  A "Full-Value Award" is defined in the Amended 2013 Plan as an Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Awards (see descriptions below).   Any Shares tendered by a Participant or withheld as full or partial payment of withholding or other taxes on an Award or as payment for the exercise of an Award or repurchased by the Company with Stock Option proceeds shall no longer be added back to the number of Shares available for issuance under the Amended 2013 Plan.
 
Adjustments .  The number of Shares subject to the Amended 2013 Plan (and the number of Shares and terms of any Award) shall be adjusted by the Administrator in the event of any change in the outstanding Ordinary Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, and the like.
 
Individual Maximum .  A maximum of 2,035,000 Shares may be awarded to an individual during any calendar year period (whether settled in Shares or the cash equivalent thereof).
 
Options
 
The Amended 2013 Plan authorizes the grant of Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options.  Incentive Stock Options are stock options that satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  Nonqualified Stock Options are stock options that do not satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.  Options granted under the Amended 2013 Plan would entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of Ordinary Shares from the Company at a specified exercise price per share.  The period of time during which an option may be exercised, as well as any vesting schedule, is determined by the Administrator, except that no option may be exercised more than five years after the date of grant.  All options granted under the Amended 2013 Plan must have an exercise price at least equal to the Fair Market Value of stock underlying the option on the date of grant. Additionally, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Amended 2013 Plan to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns (or is deemed to own) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation, as defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively, of the Company, unless the option's exercise price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the option on the Date of Grant, and the term of the option does not exceed five years from the Date of Grant.  At the discretion of the Administrator, Options may include provisions for exercise upon the payment of the exercise price in cash, Shares with a fair market value equal to the exercise price or by directing the Company to withhold Shares valued at the fair market value of the exercise price.
 
12

Other Awards
 
In addition to Options, the Amended 2013 Plan authorizes the grant of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.
 
The Amended 2013 Plan authorizes the grant of Restricted Stock Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards on terms and conditions, which may condition the vesting or payment of such Awards on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals (as described below) established by the Administrator, subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable).
 
In addition, the Amended 2013 Plan authorizes the grant of Restricted Stock Units in the form of Awards denominated in stock-equivalent units on terms and conditions, which may condition the vesting or payment of such Awards on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals (as described below), established by the Administrator, subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable). An Award of Restricted Stock Units may be settled in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof, as specified in the agreement.
 
The Amended 2013 Plan also authorizes the grant of Performance Awards, which become payable upon attainment of one or more Performance Goals established by the Administrator, subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable).  Performance Awards may be paid in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof, as specified in the agreement.  The maximum cash amount payable to any Employee pursuant to all Performance Awards granted to an Employee during a calendar year under the Amended 2013 Plan shall not exceed $2,000,000.  The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Performance Awards pursuant to which the amount and payment of the Award is determined by reference to a percentage of a bonus or incentive pool that applies to more than one Participant, and the amount of the bonus or incentive pool may, in the discretion of the Committee, be either fixed in amount or determined based upon the achievement of one or more Performance Goals.
 
The terms of an Award may provide a Participant with the right, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify (including without limitation, terms that condition the issuance of grant, vesting or payment of dividends or dividend equivalents upon the achievement of one or more specified Performance Goals), to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments with respect to Shares covered by an Award, which payments may be either made currently or credited to an account established for the Participant, and may be settled in cash or Shares, as determined by the Committee.
 
13

Performance Goals
 
In its discretion, and subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable), the Administrator may condition the grant, vesting or payment of Awards on the attainment of Performance Goals. The term "Performance Goals" means performance goals established by the Administrator which may be based on earnings, earnings growth, sales, revenues, expenses (including plant costs and sales and general administrative expenses), return on assets, cash flow, EBITDA, total shareholder return, equity or investment, regulatory compliance, satisfactory internal or external audits, improvement of financial ratings, achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives, implementation or completion of one or more projects or transactions (including mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, and restructurings), working capital, or any other objective goals the Committee establishes, and which may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated.  Such performance goals may be particular to a Participant, or may be based on the performance of the Company, one or more Affiliates, or the Company and one or more Affiliates, and may cover such period as may be specified by the Administrator.
 
Dividends and Dividend Equivalents
 
In its discretion, the Administrator may provide a Participant with the right, subject to any limitations imposed by the Administrator, to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments with respect to Shares covered by an Award, provided that no dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid with respect to unvested Awards.
 
Minimum Vest Period
 
Any Award under the Amended 2013 Plan will have a minimum vesting period of one year from the date of grant, provided that up to 5% of the total Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan may be issued without regard to this minimum vesting condition.
 
Change of Control
 
The Amended 2013 Plan adds a definition of “Change of Control” and provides that, upon a Change of Control, subject to the terms of each Award Agreement, the Acquirer may assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under each Award or portion thereof or substitute for each outstanding Award or portion thereof a substantially equivalent award with respect to the Acquirer’s stock and that, if such assumption, continuation or substitution does not occur, vesting of outstanding Awards shall accelerate such that each Award becomes fully vested immediately prior to, and conditioned up, consummation of the Change in Control.
 
Transferability
 
Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, Awards granted under the Amended 2013 Plan are not transferable except to the extent provided in an agreement.
 
Amendment and Termination
 
The Board of Directors may amend, alter or terminate the Amended 2013 Plan, or any portion thereof, at any time.  However, after the shareholders of the Company have approved the plan, the Board may not amend or terminate the plan without approval of (a) the Company's shareholders to the extent applicable law or regulations or the requirements of the principal exchange or interdealer quotation system on which the Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted, if any, requires shareholder approval of the amendment or termination, and (b) each affected Participant if the amendment or termination would adversely affect the Participant's rights or obligations under any Award granted prior to the date of the amendment or termination.
 
No award may be granted under the Amended 2013 Plan after the close of business on April 2, 2023.   Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, all awards made under the Amended 2013 Plan prior to the termination of the Amended 2013 Plan will remain in effect until those Awards have been satisfied or terminated.
 
Summary of Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations
 
General
 
The following discussion briefly summarizes certain federal income tax aspects of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, and Performance Awards granted under the Amended 2013 Plan.  The rules governing the tax treatment of Awards and the receipt of ordinary shares and/or cash in connection with such Awards are quite technical, so the following description of tax consequences is necessarily general in nature and does not purport to be complete. Moreover, statutory provisions are subject to change, as are their interpretations, and their application may vary in individual circumstances. Finally, the tax consequences under applicable state and local law may not be the same as under the federal income tax laws.
 
14

Incentive Stock Options
 
In general, a grantee will not recognize income on the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. However, the difference between the exercise price and the Fair Market Value of the stock on the exercise date is an adjustment item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax.  Further, if a grantee does not exercise an incentive stock within certain specified periods after termination of employment, the grantee will recognize ordinary income on the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option in the same manner as on the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, as described below.
 
Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards
 
A grantee generally is not required to recognize income on the grant of a Nonqualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock Units, a Performance Award or an Other Stock-Based Award.  Generally, ordinary income is instead, required to be recognized on the date the Nonqualified Stock Option is exercised, or in the case of an award of Restricted Stock Units, a Performance Award or an Other Stock-Based Award, on the date of payment of such Award in cash or Ordinary Shares.  In general, the amount of ordinary income required to be recognized, (a) in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, is an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on the exercise date over the exercise price, and (b) in the case of an Award of Restricted Stock Units, a Performance Award or an Other Stock-Based Award, the amount of any cash and the Fair Market Value of any Ordinary Shares received.
 
Restricted Stock Awards
 
Unless a grantee of Ordinary Shares of restricted stock makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code as described below, the grantee generally is not required to recognize ordinary income on the award of restricted stock.  Instead, on the date the Ordinary Shares vest (i.e. become transferable or are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture), the grantee will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on such date over the amount, if any, paid for such Ordinary Shares.  If a grantee makes a Section 83(b) election to recognize ordinary income on the date the Ordinary Shares are awarded, the amount of ordinary income required to be recognized is an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on the date of award over the amount, if any, paid for such Ordinary Shares.  In such case, the grantee will not be required to recognize additional ordinary income when the Ordinary Shares vest.
 
Gain or Loss on Sale or Exchange of 2013 Plan Shares
 
In general, gain or loss from the sale or exchange of Ordinary Shares granted or awarded under the Amended 2013 Plan will be treated as capital gain or loss, if the Ordinary Shares are held as capital assets at the time of the sale or exchange.  However, if certain holding period requirements are not satisfied at the time of a sale or exchange of Ordinary Shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option (a "disqualifying disposition"), a grantee generally will be required to recognize ordinary income upon such disposition.
 
15

Deductibility by Company
 
The Company generally is not allowed a deduction in connection with the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.  However, if a grantee is required to recognize income as a result of a disqualifying disposition, the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income so recognized.  In general, in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option (including an Incentive Stock Option that is treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option, as described above), a Stock Award, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, a Performance Award, or an Other Stock-Based Award, the Company generally will be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the grantee, provided that certain income tax reporting requirements are satisfied.
 
Parachute Payments
 
Where payments to certain persons that are contingent on a change in control exceed limits specified in the Code, the person generally is liable for a 20% excise tax on, and the corporation or other entity making the payment generally is not entitled to any deduction for, a specified portion of such payments.  If the Administrator, in its discretion, grants Awards, the exercise date, vesting or payment of which is accelerated by a change in control of the Company, such acceleration of the exercise date, vesting or payment would be relevant in determining whether the excise tax and deduction disallowance rules would be triggered.
 
Performance-Based Compensation
 
Subject to certain exceptions, Section 162(m) of the Code disallows federal income tax deductions for compensation paid by a publicly held corporation to certain executives to the extent the amount paid to the executive exceeds $1 million for the taxable year.  The Amended 2013 Plan has been designed to allow the Administrator to make Awards under the 2013 Plan that qualify under an exception to the deduction limit of Section 162(m) for "performance-based compensation."
 
Tax Rules Affecting Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans
 
Section 409A of the Code imposes tax rules that apply to "nonqualified deferred compensation plans."  Failure to comply with, or qualify for an exemption from, the rules with respect to an Award could result in significant adverse tax results to the grantee of such Award, including immediate taxation upon vesting and an additional income tax of 20% of the amount of income so recognized.  The Amended 2013 Plan is intended to allow the granting of Awards which are intended to comply with or qualify for an exemption from Section 409A of the Code.

New Plan Benefits Table
 
On May 8, 2017, we approved Awards of Options to certain executive officers in connection with the execution of their employment agreements. (See above under “Proposal 1” for a discussion of the grant to Mr. Bell in connection with the execution of his Employment Agreement.) The grants to Messrs. Bell and Fuller and Ms.   Beischel (as set forth below) were made in accordance with the senior executive compensation benchmarking study performed by Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, referenced in Proposal 1, above, and consistent with the Company’s Amended Compensation Policy. These grants were made contingent on shareholder approval of the Amended 2013 Plan and, in the case of Mr. Bell, shareholder approval of his Option Agreement. The exercise price of each of the below grants is $9.51 per share, representing approximately 118% of the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary share on the date of grant. The grants will vest in three annual installments beginning May 8, 2018. In addition, the Awards are subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, as described in the Amended 2013 Plan and in the Award agreements. The Awards are not subject to accelerated vesting in the event of a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Amended 2013 Plan) before the first anniversary of the date of grant of such Award.  The following table sets forth the grants that were made subject to shareholder approval of the Amended 2013 Plan:

PROPOSAL 3:

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
MAGICJACK VOCALTEC LTD.
ISRAELI 2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
 
General
 
The Company previously established the magicJack VocalTec, Ltd. Israeli 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Israeli Plan") pursuant to Board action and shareholder approval.  On May 8, 2017, consistent with the changes approved by the Board to the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, the Board approved an increase in the number of our ordinary shares available under the Israeli plan and certain other changes to that plan designed to align equity incentives with the creation of long-term value, subject to the approval of the shareholders.  A copy of the Amended and Restated magicJack VocalTec, Ltd. Israeli 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Amended 2013 Israeli Plan") is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix B for your review.
 
Management and the Board believe that the use of stock based compensation is important to the Company to recruit and retain qualified persons.  The 2013 Israeli Plan was adopted as a supplement to the 2013 Plan so that employees and other plan participants resident in Israel or subject to Israeli tax could participate in our use of stock based compensation.  The plans are intended to complement one another.  The Board believes the purposes of the 2013 Israeli Plan are being served and that the increase in the number of shares available for grants under this plan will further the Company's objectives.  The Board believes the other changes to the plan, as with the Amended 2013 Plan, serve to better align equity incentives with the creation of long-term value.
 
Description of the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan
 
The following summary of the material features of the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan, as proposed, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B .  Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the 2013 Israeli Plan.
 
Material Changes to the 2013 Israeli Plan
 
The material changes in the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan to the 2013 Israeli Plan are as follows:
 
·
An increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan from an aggregate of 3,600,000 ordinary shares (including shares underlying Awards pursuant to the Company's 2013 Stock Incentive Plan) to an aggregate of 5,600,000 ordinary shares (including shares issued pursuant to Awards under the Amended 2013 Stock Incentive Plan described above).
 
·
Adding limitations on the Company's ability to re-use Shares underlying Awards that are forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminated.
 
19

·
Including a share counting provision to deduct from the maximum share limit 2.24 Shares for every Share underlying a "Full Value Award" to properly reflect the value difference between Full Value Awards and Options.
 
·
Imposing a shareholder approval requirement for any Option repricing transactions.
 
·
Certain clarifications regarding the tracks under which Awards may be granted and the conditions required in order to apply the "capital gains track" under the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961.
 
·
Adding a prohibition of the payment of dividends on unvested Awards.
 
·
Adding a minimum vesting period of at least one year for Awards.
 
·
Effect of termination of relationship between grantee and the Company for Cause, in which case the unvested awards shall terminate, and for any reason other than Cause, death of Disability of the grantee, in which case the grantee shall have the right to exercise any vested Options within up to three months from the Date of Termination
 
·
Limiting the circumstances under which a change in control transaction results in acceleration of vesting.
 
Other than the above and certain technical changes to the language of the 2013 Israeli Plan, the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan and the 2013 Israeli Plan are identical.  The following summary tracks the summary of the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan and notes where the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan has changed from the 2013 Israeli Plan.
 
Eligibility
 
The Amended 2013 Israeli  Plan authorizes the grant of Options,  Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards, Dividends and Dividend Equivalents, or any combination of the foregoing to all persons who are at the time of the grant of an award Employees (including persons who may become Employees) and members of the Board of the Company or an Affiliate, or non-employee agents, consultants or independent contractors of the Company or of any Affiliate, as may be selected from time to time.  As of the date hereof, nine Employees (including officers) and two members of the Board are eligible to receive grants under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan. The number of consultants or independent contractors to the Company eligible to receive grants under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan is not determinable.
 
Administration
 
The Amended 2013 Israeli Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee or by such other committee appointed by the Board, provided that the grant of awards under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan by the said committee is in accordance with detailed criteria determined by the Board (all of which will hereinafter be referred to as the "Administrator").  The Administrator has all the powers vested in it by the terms of the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan, including the authority to determine eligibility and the terms of Awards, and otherwise administer the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan, subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable).  In making these determinations, the Administrator may take into account the nature of the services rendered or to be rendered by the Award recipients, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company and its Affiliates, and such other factors as the Administrator in its discretion shall deem relevant.  The Administrator may delegate its authority to the extent it deems desirable and is consistent with the requirements of applicable law.
 
20

Shares Available For The Plan
 
Total Share Limit .  If the shareholders approve the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan, a maximum of 5,600,000 Shares will be available for Awards (including Incentive Stock Options), less any Shares issued pursuant to the Amended 2013 Plan (discussed above).  This represents a change from the limit of 3,600,000 shares issuable under the 2013 Israeli Plan, provided that a maximum of 1,154,893 of such shares could be granted as Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (which limit also included Awards issued pursuant to the 2013 Plan).
 
Share Counting and Re-Use .  Under the 2013 Israeli Plan, if an Option expires or terminates unexercised, if shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, or if Shares covered by an Award are not issued or are forfeited, the unissued or forfeited Shares that had been subject to the Award shall be available for the grant of additional Awards (except for Shares withheld to pay the Exercise Price of an Option or withholding taxes) under the 2013 Israeli Plan.  Under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan, effective for all Awards granted after the Effective Date (meaning after shareholder approval of the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan), the aggregate number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan will be reduced by 2.24 Shares for each Share delivered in settlement of any "Full-Value Award" and one Share for each Share delivered in settlement of an Option.  If any Award is forfeited, cancelled, settled in cash, returned to the Company for failure to satisfy vesting requirements or other conditions of the Award, or otherwise terminates without an issuance of Shares, the maximum share limit will be credited in accordance with the share counting provision described above and those Shares will again be available for Awards under the plan.  A "Full-Value Award" is defined in the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan as an Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Awards (see descriptions below).   Any Shares tendered by a Participant or withheld as full or partial payment of withholding or other taxes on an Award or as payment for the exercise of an Award or repurchased by the Company with Stock Option proceeds shall no longer be added back to the number of Shares available for issuance under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan.
 
Adjustments .  The number of Shares subject to the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan (and the number of Shares and terms of any Award) shall be adjusted by the Administrator in the event of any change in the outstanding Ordinary Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, and the like.
 
Options
 
Options granted under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan would entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of Ordinary Shares from the Company at a specified exercise price per share.  The period of time during which an option may be exercised, the method of payment upon exercise (which may include "cashless" exercises), as well as any vesting schedule, is determined by the Administrator.
 
21

Other Awards
 
In addition to Options, the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan authorizes the grant of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards.
 
The Amended 2013 Israeli Plan authorizes the grant of Restricted Stock Awards on terms and conditions, which terms and conditions may condition the vesting or payment of such Awards on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals (as described below) established by the Administrator, subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable).
 
In addition, the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan authorizes the grant of Restricted Stock Units in the form of Awards denominated in stock-equivalent units on terms and conditions, which terms and conditions may condition the vesting or payment of such Awards on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals (as described below), established by the Administrator, subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable).  An Award of Restricted Stock Units may be settled in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof, as specified in the agreement.
 
The Amended 2013 Israeli Plan also authorizes the grant of Performance Awards, which become payable upon attainment of one or more Performance Goals established by the Administrator, subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable).  Performance Awards may be paid in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof, as specified in the agreement.  The Committee may, in its discretion, subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable), grant Performance Awards pursuant to which the amount and payment of the Award is determined by reference to a percentage of a bonus or incentive pool that applies to more than one Participant, and the amount of the bonus or incentive pool may, in the discretion of the Committee, be either fixed in amount or determined based upon the achievement of one or more Performance Goals.
 
The terms of an Award may provide a Participant with the right, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify (including without limitation, terms that condition the issuance of grant, vesting or payment of dividends or dividend equivalents upon the achievement of one or more specified Performance Goals), to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments with respect to Shares covered by an Award, which payments may be either made currently or credited to an account established for the Participant, and may be settled in cash or Shares, as determined by the Committee and subject to the terms of the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan.
 
Performance Goals
 
In its discretion, the Administrator may condition the grant, vesting or payment of Awards on the attainment of Performance Goals. The term "Performance Goals" means performance goals established by the Administrator, subject to applicable law and to the Company's compensation policy as in effect from time to time (where applicable), which may be based on earnings, earnings growth, sales, revenues, expenses (including plant costs and sales and general administrative expenses), return on assets, cash flow, total shareholder return, equity or investment, regulatory compliance, satisfactory internal or external audits, improvement of financial ratings, achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives, implementation or completion of one or more projects or transactions (including mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, and restructurings), working capital, or any other objective goals the Committee establishes, and which may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated.  Such performance goals may be particular to a Participant, or may be based on the performance of the Company, one or more Affiliates, or the Company and one or more Affiliates, and may cover such period as may be specified by the Administrator.
 
Dividends and Dividend Equivalents
 
In its discretion, the Administrator may provide a Participant with the right, subject to any limitations imposed by the Administrator, to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments with respect to Shares covered by an Award, provided that no dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid with respect to unvested Awards.
 
Minimum Vest Period
 
Any Award under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan will have a minimum vesting period of one year from the date of grant, provided that up to 5% of the total Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan may be issued without regard to this minimum vesting condition.
22

Transferability
 
Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, Awards granted under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan are not transferable except to the extent provided in an agreement.
 
Amendment and Termination
 
The Board of Directors may amend, alter or terminate the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan, or any portion thereof, at any time.  However, after the shareholders of the Company have approved the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan, the Board may not amend or terminate the plan without approval of (a) the Company's shareholders to the extent applicable law or regulations or the requirements of the principal exchange or interdealer quotation system on which the Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted, if any, requires shareholder approval of the amendment or termination, and (b) each affected Participant if the amendment or termination would adversely affect the Participant's rights or obligations under any Award granted prior to the date of the amendment or termination.
 
No award may be granted under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan after the close of business on April 2, 2023.  Subject to other applicable provisions of the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan, all awards made under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan prior to the termination of the 2013 Israeli Plan will remain in effect until those Awards have been satisfied or terminated.
 
Summary of Certain Israeli Income Tax Considerations
 
General
 
The following discussion briefly summarizes certain Israeli income tax aspects of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, and Performance Awards granted under the Amended 2013 Israeli Plan to persons residing in the State of Israel and/or on account of services performed in Israel. The rules governing the tax treatment of Awards and the receipt of ordinary shares and/or cash in connection with such Awards are quite technical, so the following description of tax consequences is necessarily general in nature and does not purport to be complete. Moreover, statutory provisions are subject to change, as are their interpretations, and their application may vary in individual circumstances.
23

Stock Options/Restricted Stock Units and Stock Based Performance Awards under Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance
 
In general, employees and directors (who are not controlling shareholders) can be granted awards (Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and certain Stock Based Performance Awards) (the "Awards") under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance ("Section 102" and the "Ordinance"). "Control" and "controlling shareholder" under  Section 102 is a person that (i) holds 10% or more of the capital shares of a company or voting rights (or the right to acquire any of the above), or (ii) holds the right to receive 10% or more of the company's profits, or (iii) has the right to appoint a director.
 
The common track for granting Awards to employees in the high-tech industry under Section 102 is a capital gains track with a trustee (the "Capital Gains Track") under which the Awards are issued to a trustee nominated solely for this purpose (the "Section 102 Trustee") to be held in trust (or, in certain cases, only under his supervision, if a ruling is obtained) on behalf of the holder of the Awards for a minimum period of 24 months commencing on the date on which the Awards were deposited with the Section 102 Trustee (the "Holding Period").
 
The Award holder will not be required to pay any tax at the time of the grant or exercise of the Awards. Only the sale or disposition of the Awards or the underlying shares from the Section 102 Trustee triggers a taxable event. Upon sale or disposition of the Awards or underlying shares from the Section 102 Trustee, the proceeds received by the Award holder (less exercise price (if any) and other expenses incurred by the employee for such sale) will be subject to tax.
 
If the Awards were held in trust by the Section 102 Trustee until the end of the Holding Period, the income upon sale or disposition of the Awards from the Section 102 Trustee will be considered as capital gains and the Award holder will be subject to tax on such capital gains at a rate of 25% in 2017. No social payments such as national insurance (the Israeli equivalent of social security) or health tax will be due on the amount of capital gains.
 
However, if the company is a public company or is listed for trading on any stock exchange within a period of 90 days from the date of grant, any difference between the exercise price of the Awards (if any) and the average closing price of the company's shares at the 30 trading days preceding the grant date (when the company is listed on a stock exchange) or 30 trading days following the listing of the company, as applicable (the "Immediate Benefit"), will be taxed as "earned income" at the Awards holder's marginal tax rate (the top marginal rate in the tax year 2017 is 50%).  An additional tax at a rate of 3% may apply for annual gains exceeding New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") 600,000.  In addition, national insurance tax and health tax will be imposed on such Immediate Benefit.
 
If the Awards or the underlying shares are sold or removed from the Section 102 Trustee before the lapse of the Holding Period, the income generated or deemed as generated by the Awards holder will be taxed upon the date of such breach as "earned income" at the Awards holder's marginal tax rate (instead of the capital gains tax rate of 25%).  An additional tax at a rate of 3% may apply for annual gains exceeding NIS 600,000.  In addition, national insurance tax and health tax shall be imposed on such income.
 
24

Restricted Stock Units and certain Performance Awards may be entitled to the benefits of the Capital Gains Track under certain circumstances to the extent that a tax ruling will be obtained from the Israeli Tax Authority.
 
A Non-Trustee Track
 
Employees and directors (who are not controlling shareholders) may be granted Awards under a track without a trustee (the "Non-Trustee Track"). This tax track does not require that a Section 102 Trustee hold the Awards and accordingly there is no Holding Period.
 
The tax event is triggered upon the sale of granted Awards by the employee (unless the Awards are registered for trade). Resulting income is classified as "earned income" and is taxed at the employee's marginal tax rate (up to 50% in 2017).  An additional tax at a rate of 3% may apply for annual gains exceeding NIS 600,000.  In addition, national insurance tax and health tax will be imposed on such income.
 
To the extent that an employee is issued shares (whether registered for trade or not), the employee will be required to recognize ordinary income on the date of issuance of the shares equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such shares on such date over the amount, if any, paid for such shares. Israeli national insurance tax and health tax will be imposed on such income (see above).
 
The gain derived by the employee upon the sale of the underlying shares is taxed as capital gains (generally at the rate of 25%).
 
Non Statutory Options
 
Section 3(i) of the Ordinance ("Section 3(i)") applies to options granted by a company to its employees and directors who are controlling shareholders or to non-employee persons who render services to the Company (i.e. consultants, advisors, independent contractors, among others). This section applies only to options and not to the issuance of shares to such persons.
 
Section 3(i) imposes tax on the income deemed attributed to the optionee in respect of the granted options. The tax event is triggered upon the exercise of the option into shares (whether or not such shares are sold) and the taxable income is calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the shares upon exercise and the exercise price of the options. The difference is taxed as "earned income" in accordance with the optionee's marginal tax rate (up to 50% in 2017).  An additional tax at a rate of 3% may apply for annual gains exceeding NIS 600,000.  In addition, Israeli national insurance and health tax will be imposed on such income. The gain derived by the grantee upon the sale of the underlying shares will be subject to tax as capital gains (generally 25%). "Material shareholders" will be subject to tax at a rate of 30%).  A "material shareholder" is a person who holds, directly or indirectly, alone or together with another, 10% or more of any of the company's "means of control" (including, among other things, the right to receive profits of the company, voting rights, the right to receive the company's liquidation proceeds and the right to appoint a director)) at the time of sale or at any time during the preceding 12-month period. 
 
25

Deductibility by Company
 
The Company generally is not allowed a deduction in connection with the grant, vesting or exercise, as the case may be, of Awards under the Capital Gains Track, except for the amount of the Immediate Benefit, provided that certain terms and conditions are met.  The Company will not be allowed a deduction in connection with the grant or exercise of stock options under the Non-Trustee Track and/or Section 3(i).
 
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
"RESOLVED, that the Amended and Restated magicJack VocalTec Ltd. Israeli 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as presented to the Company's shareholders, is hereby approved and authorized."
 
The affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on this matter is necessary for the approval of the foregoing resolution.
 
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE " FOR " PROPOSAL 3.
 
26

PROPOSAL 4:

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO
THE COMPANY'S AMENDED COMPENSATION POLICY
 
Under Amendment No. 20, Israeli public companies, such as the Company must adopt a compensation policy with respect to the terms of service and employment of their directors and officers. The compensation policy must be approved by (i) the Board upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and (ii) the shareholders of the Company, however, under the circumstances described below, the Compensation Committee and the Board can nonetheless approve the compensation policy despite shareholder objection. The provisions of Amendment No. 20 require that the compensation policy be reviewed and approved every three years.  The Company's Compensation Policy was first approved by the Board and shareholders in 2013 for a three-year term.  At the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company held on April 19, 2017, the shareholders approved the Amended Compensation Policy which had been recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Company's Board.
 
Reasons for the Proposed Amendments
 
The compensation package offered to non-employees directors as reflected in the Compensation Policy and the Amended Compensation Policy, was approved by the Company's shareholders at the 2012 annual meeting held on August 16, 2012, and has remained unchanged since that approval.  Earlier in 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board undertook a review of non-employee director compensation.  The Compensation Committee engaged the services of Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian").  Meridian provided the Committee with a peer group analysis and carried out a compensation benchmarking exercise based on the peer group (the "Director Compensation Study").  Based on the Director Compensation Study, the Committee and Meridian worked to update the compensation package to be offered to the Company's current and future non-employee directors in order to better align it with the compensation offered by comparable companies and to take into account compensation best practices to ensure an appropriate and balanced director compensation package is in place at the Company.  Implementation of changes in that compensation requires amendments to the Company's Amended Compensation Policy.  In addition, the proposed amendments to the Amended Compensation Policy include changes to reflect the fact that the Company is no longer required to appoint external directors and provide them the compensation set forth in the Israeli Companies Regulations (Rules on Remuneration and Expenses of Outside Directors), 2000 (the "Remunerations Regulations"), following the Company's determination to follow the exemption provided under a recently enacted amendment to the Companies Regulations (Relief for Companies Whose Shares are Registered for Trading Outside of Israel), 2000 (the "Opt-Out" and the "Amendment to the Relief Regulations", respectively). According to the Amendment to the Relief Regulations, a company which meets certain conditions detailed therein may opt to comply with the applicable foreign exchange rules governing the appointment of independent directors and composition of audit and compensation committees applicable to U.S. domestic issuers (which with respect to the Company are the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the rules set forth in the Exchange Act of 1934) instead of complying with the Companies Law provisions relating to the appointment of external directors and the requirements relating to the composition of the audit committee and compensation committees. Accordingly the shareholders are being asked to approve these amendments in the form of an Amended and Restated Compensation Policy, a copy of which is provided with this proxy statement as Appendix C.
 
27

Summary of the Proposed Amendments
 
The proposed changes reflect the proposed changes to director compensation described below under "Proposal 5".  In brief, the Amended Compensation Policy is proposed to be amended to include the following provisions:
 
·
Annual cash compensation for each non-employee director in the amount of $50,000 or, in the case of the non-employee Chairman of the Board, $100,000, which shall be paid quarterly;
 
·
Annual equity based compensation valued at $60,000 per year for each non-employee director, which shall fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant;
 
·
Annual cash compensation of $10,000 for service on each of the Company's Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and
 
·
Annual cash compensation of $10,000 for service on a "special committee" of the Board intended to cover up to four meetings per year, with additional cash compensation of $1,000 for each additional meeting thereafter.
 
Compensation for the Company's non-employee directors from 2012 was as follows:
 
·
A fixed annual payment of $50,000, or in the case of the non-employee Chairman of the Board, an annual cash payment of $100,000, which is paid quarterly;
 
·
Annual cash compensation of $20,000 for service as a member of either the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee of the Board on which the director serves (with the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee considered one committee for compensation purposes); and
 
· Equity based grants of restricted stock which vested over three years (the last such grant made in 2014 valued at $135,240).
 
Summary of the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy
 
The following summary of the material features of the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy, attached as Appendix C .  Except with respect to director compensation, the terms of the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy are identical to the Amended Compensation Policy approved by the shareholders at the 2016 annual meeting.
 
28

In general, amendments to the Amended Compensation Policy were examined by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors while taking into consideration, among other factors, the Company's risk management policy, the Company's size and nature of operations, the contribution of the officers and directors subject thereto to achieving corporate objectives and increasing profits, all with a long-term view and in accordance with the duties and responsibilities of the officers and directors, the education, expertise, experience and accomplishments of the officers and directors subject thereto and their duties and responsibilities as the Company's officers and directors, the ratio between the compensation of the officers and directors and the compensation of the Company's employees, and the ratio between the compensation of the officers and directors the average and median salaries of the Company's employees, the possibility to reduce equity-based compensation in accordance with the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company's performance with a long-term view, the ratio between the fixed and variable compensation of officers and directors subject thereto and the terms of equity-based grants.  In addition, the compensation package for officers and directors will be examined while taking into consideration, among other factors, the following parameters: (i) the education, qualifications, expertise, seniority (in the Company in particular, and in the officer's or director's profession in general), professional experience and achievements of the officer or director; (ii) the officer's or director's' position, the scope of his responsibility and previous wage agreements that were signed with such officer or director; (iii) the officer's or director's contribution to the Company's business, profits and stability; (iv) the degree of responsibility imposed on the officer or director; and (v) the Company's need to retain officers and directors who have skills, know-how or unique expertise.  Additionally, prior to the approval of a compensation package for an officer or director, the Company will conduct a wage survey that compares and analyzes the level and cost of the compensation package offered to an officer or director of the Company with the compensation packages offered to officers or directors in similar positions in other companies of the same type and/or financial structure. The surveys are to be conducted internally or through an external consultant recommended by the Compensation Committee.
 
The Company will be entitled to grant to officers (to all or part of them) a compensation package which may include a base salary, commissions, annual cash bonus and share-based compensation, or any combination thereof, and additional standard benefits as described in the compensation plan ("Compensation Package").  The terms detailed below of the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy are identical to those approved by the shareholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting except with respect to the compensation for non-employee directors.
 
Base Salary
 
The annual base salary of a new officer in the Company will be determined based on the parameters specified above (the " Base Salary "). The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors shall be entitled to update the annual Base Salary of the officers of the Company (other than (i) officers who are controlling shareholders or their relatives or other officers' compensation in which the controlling shareholder has a personal interest and (ii) officers who serve as directors) consistent with the terms of the Compensation Policy including the parameters specified above, provided that the Compensation Committee alone may approve an amendment to an officer's annual Base Salary that does not increase such annual Base Salary by more than 15% on an aggregate basis during the term of the officer's Employment Agreement and, with respect to the annual Base Salary of the CEO, such change does not materially change the structure of the incentives provided thereto, even if the total value of the Compensation Package remains unchanged.
 
29

Sales Commissions
 
In addition to the annual Base Salary and any other compensation element, the Company shall be entitled to pay to its officers, sale and other commissions based on a pre-determined commission plan, which commissions will be considered part of the officer's aggregate Compensation Package. For each fiscal year, the aggregate amount of commissions and any Bonus paid to any officer shall not exceed 200% of annual Base Salary. To the extent officers are paid sales commissions, the measurable criteria upon which they are based will be communicated to and, to the extent required under the Companies Law, approved by, the Company's shareholders in the same manner as Bonus Targets.
 
Additional Terms of Compensation Package
 
The compensation package may include additional standard benefits such as social benefits, car allowance, mobile allowance, reimbursement of expenses, perquisites, advanced notice for termination of employment, medical insurance etc.  
 
Sign-on Bonus
 
The Company may grant a sign-on bonus (the " Sign-on Bonus ") to an officer, which Sign-on Bonus may not exceed the officer's initial annual Base Salary. A Sign-on Bonus will not be considered in calculating the maximum amount of the Bonus (described below) payable to an officer following his initial year of employment. The Sign-on Bonus will be deemed part of the overall Compensation Package for that officer and it will be subject to the existing limitations in the Amended Compensation Policy.
 
When considering a Sign-on Bonus award, the Compensation Committee will consider the necessity of the Sign-on Bonus to attract appropriate candidates to serve as officers of the Company including, without limitation, the amount of variable compensation foregone by an officer from his or her previous employer and will determine the value of the Sign-on Bonus accordingly.
 
Insurance, Exculpation and Indemnification
 
The officers of the Company will be entitled to benefit from the insurance, exculpation and indemnification arrangements, to be approved from time to time by the Board of Directors, pursuant to the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Company and applicable law.
 
Advance Notice
 
The advance notice period for termination of employment will be determined individually with respect to each officer, taking into consideration the parameters set forth above, but will not be more than 90 days.
 
Severance Terms
 
In the event that the terms of service of the officer include severance payments, the payments will be examined in light of the period of service or employment of the officer in the Company, the terms of service, the Company's performance during said period, the anticipated contribution of the officer to achieving the Company's goals and its profitability, and the circumstances of termination of employment. In any event, the amount or value of a severance payment shall not exceed two times such officer's annual Base Salary as of termination of employment, other than termination of employment in connection with a change of control of the Company, in which case such maximum severance payment shall not exceed four times such officer's annual Base Salary (decreased from six times). Acceleration of vesting of equity based compensation issued prior to termination of employment shall not be considered in calculating the value of a severance payment. No severance payment will be paid to an officer whose employment is terminated for cause.
 
30

Annual Cash Bonus
 
The annual cash bonus (" Bonus ") will be based mainly (at least 80%) on measurable criteria, and, with respect to its less significant part (up to 20%), at the Board of Directors' and management's discretion based on non-measurable criteria, all as set forth hereunder.
 
The measurable criteria upon which the Bonus will be based (the " Targets ") will be communicated to, and to the extent required under the Companies Law, approved by, the Company's shareholders when guidance for the year in question is conveyed. Payment of the Bonus may be based on several Targets measured independently such as one-third of the Bonus based upon a revenue Target, one-third based upon an EBITDA Target and one-third based upon some other key performance indicator Target. Payment of the Bonus for each Target will be made according to the following scale on an incremental basis:
 
% of Target Achieved
 
% of Bonus for Target Paid
< 80%
 
0%
80% - 100%
 
35% - 100%
100% - 120%
 
101% - 200%

For example, if 90% of a Target is achieved, 67.5% of the Bonus payable for that Target will be paid. If 110% of the Target is achieved, 150% of the Bonus payable for that Target will be paid.
 
Measurable criteria for the Bonus may include financial targets ( e.g.,  revenue and EBITDA relative to budget), meeting sales and marketing objectives, productivity indices and growth in the volume of activity, cost savings, implementation and promotion of planned projects, promoting strategic targets, promoting innovation in the Company and/or success in raising capital. The measurable bonus criteria will be documented such that they can be calculated objectively and later verified based upon the Company's audited or reviewed financial statements and related metrics.
 
The remaining portion of the annual cash bonus (not exceeding 20% of the annual cash bonus) will be determined according to non-measurable criteria, such as the contribution of the officer to the Company's business, its profitability and stability, the need for the Company to retain an officer with skills, know-how, or unique expertise, the responsibility imposed on the officer, changes that occurred in the responsibility imposed on the officer during the year, satisfaction with the officer's performance (including assessing the degree of involvement of the officer and devotion of efforts in the performance of his duties), assessing the officer's ability to work in coordination and cooperation with other employees of the Company, the officer's contribution to appropriate control environment and ethical environment and such other elements as recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 20% limitation above will not apply to Bonuses for officers who qualify as officers because they are directly subordinate to the CEO as long as any Bonus paid to any such officer is otherwise compliant with this Amended Compensation Policy and does not exceed 100% of such officer's annual Base Salary.
 
31

Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company may grant to officers options, restricted stock units or any other share-based compensation pursuant to equity plan(s) as adopted or as shall be adopted by the Company, from time to time and subject to any applicable law. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will consider whether the aforesaid grant is a suitable incentive for increasing the Company's value in the long term, the economic value of the grant, the exercise price and the other terms. Share-Based Compensation, if granted, will mature in installments or vesting periods (or depend on meeting milestones) which shall take into account the appropriate incentive, in light of the Company's objectives in the years following the approval of the grant.
 
Vesting of officer's Share-Based Compensation shall occur over a minimum period of three years and no Share-Based Compensation will vest prior to the first anniversary of the grant date for such Share-Based Compensation, provided that vesting of Share-Based Compensation may be accelerated upon a change of control consistent with the Company's employee equity plan and as recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. On or after the first anniversary of the grant date of an officer's Share-Based Compensation, upon termination of such officer's employment by the Company without "cause" or by the officer for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the officer's Employment Agreement or other applicable contract), vesting of Share-Based Compensation may be accelerated on a pro-rata basis based on the time-period between the grant date and the termination date, plus 90 days, provided that any performance based vesting requirements have also been achieved. In its discretion, in advance of granting Share-Based Compensation to an officer, the Board of Directors may establish a maximum value accruing to such officer upon exercise of such Share-Based Compensation that is not settled in cash.
 
Limits on Non-fixed Compensation
 
The Amended Compensation Policy establishes that the ratio between the non-fixed compensation (including bonuses, sales commissions and equity-based compensation) and the annual Base Salary of each officer (including the CEO), shall not exceed 6:1 (2:1 maximum for Bonus and 4:1 maximum for Share-based Compensation), not taking into account any Sign-on Bonus or acceleration of vesting of Share-Based Compensation upon a change of control (decreased from 7:1). In any event, the average annual amount of all Non-Fixed Compensation payable to an officer (with the value of Share-based Compensation calculated at the time of grant in accordance with the cost recorded in its respect in the Company's books) over the term of such officer's employment or service agreement with the Company shall not exceed $3,000,000 (decreased from $3,500,000), not taking into account any Sign-on Bonus or acceleration of vesting of Share-Based Compensation upon a change of control.
 
32

Term of Employment Agreements
 
Officer employment agreements will be for a fixed term that does not exceed three years.
 
Claw Back
 
Officers are required to repay to the Company any excess payments made to them which were based on the Company's performance if such payments were paid based on false and restated Company financial statements, provided that such obligation of re-payment will cease two years after payment of the bonus in question unless the officer knowingly contributed to the mistakes in the financial statements leading to restatement, in which case there shall be no time limit applicable to such obligation.
 
Director Compensation
 
In addition to compliance with the other provisions of the Amended Compensation Policy, the Company may pay its non-employee directors share-based compensation, provided that vesting of such share-based compensation may not be performance based, and reimburse them for out-of-pocket expenses, all in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.  In addition, non-employee directors of the Company shall be compensated in accordance with the following:
 
·
Annual cash compensation for each non-employee director in the amount of up to $50,000 or, in the case of the non-employee Chairman of the Board, up to $100,000, which shall be paid quarterly;
 
·
Annual equity based compensation valued at up to $60,000 per year for each non-employee director, which shall fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant;
 
·
Annual cash compensation of up to $10,000 for service on each of the Company's Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and
 
·
Annual cash compensation of $10,000 for service on a "special committee" of the Board of Directors intended to cover up to four meetings per year, with additional cash compensation of $1,000 for each additional meeting thereafter.

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
33

Vote Required for Approval
 
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on Proposal 4 is necessary for the approval of Proposal 4.
 
The approval of Proposal 4 is also subject to the approval of a "Special Majority" which requires that either: (i) the Proposal must be approved by a majority of the shares voted on such Proposal by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and who do not have a Personal Interest in the Proposal, or (ii) the total number of shares held by such shareholders described above and voted against the Proposal does not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Recommendation of the Board
 
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS
VOTE " FOR " PROPOSAL 4.
 
34

PROPOSAL 5:

APPROVAL OF COMPENSATION FOR
THE COMPANY'S NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
 
As indicated above under Proposal 4, the Company's compensation for non-employee directors has not changed since 2012, and, following the Company's Opt-Out, is no longer subject to the limitations on director compensation set forth in the Remunerations Regulations.  In 2017, the Company undertook a review of non-employee director compensation to better understand if the director compensation of the Company was consistent with comparably situated public companies and if the compensation structure still suited the needs of the Board of Directors and the Company.
 
The Compensation Committee engaged the services of Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian").  Meridian provided the Committee with a peer group analysis and carried out a compensation benchmarking exercise based on the peer group (the "Director Compensation Study").  Based on the Director Compensation Study, the Committee and Meridian worked to update the compensation package to be offered to the Company's current and future non-employee directors in order to better align it with the compensation offered by comparable companies and to take into account compensation best practices to ensure an appropriate and balanced director compensation package is in place at the Company.
 
The annual cash retainer of $50,000 ($100,000 for the Chairman) remains unchanged.  The cash compensation payable to a director for service on the Company’s standing committees (Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance) was reduced from $20,000 annually to $10,000 annually. Finally, an annual vesting equity grant is intended to replace the previous three-year vesting grants to better align the compensation with the service period (one-year terms). Previously, each non-employee director received a grant of shares equal in annual value to approximately $43,750, the equity compensation recommended by Pay Governance in 2013.  The current proposal, consistent with the Meridian analysis, is a one-year vesting equity grant valued at $60,000.
 
The Compensation Committee reviewed the proposed compensation and considered numerous factors they deemed relevant in establishing the new compensation.  The Committee determined that the proposed compensation was compliant with the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy (see Proposal 4 above) and with the requirements of Amendment No. 20 and that it was in the best interest of the Company.  Accordingly, the Compensation Committee recommended that the Board approve the updated director compensation.  Subsequently the full Board considered the proposed compensation changes for non-employee directors and, after its consideration, approved it subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders.
 
Accordingly, the shareholders are being asked to approve these changes as set forth in the Updated Director Compensation Package as described herein, subject to the approval of the amendments to the Amended Compensation Policy under Proposal 4 above.  If approved, the Updated Director Compensation Package will apply commencing on the date of shareholder approval and non-employee directors will be entitled to the pro-rata portion of the compensation for 2017.
 
Summary of the Proposed Amendments
 
The Updated Director Compensation Package includes the following provisions:
 
·
Annual cash compensation for each non-employee director in the amount of $50,000 or, in the case of the non-employee Chairman of the Board, $100,000, which shall be paid quarterly;
 
35

·
Annual equity based compensation valued at $60,000 per year for each non-employee director, which shall fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant;
 
·
Annual cash compensation of $10,000 for service on each of the Company's Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and
 
·
Annual cash compensation of $10,000 for service on a "special committee" of the Board of Directors intended to cover up to four meetings per year, with additional cash compensation of $1,000 for each additional meeting thereafter.
 
Compensation for the Company's non-employee directors from 2012 was as follows:
 
·
A fixed annual payment of $50,000, or in the case of the non-employee Chairman of the Board, an annual cash payment of $100,000, which is paid quarterly;
 
·
Annual cash compensation of $20,000 for service as a member of either the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee of the Board on which the director serves (with the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee considered one committee for compensation purposes); and
 
·
Equity based grants of restricted stock which vested over three years (the last such grant made in 2014 valued at $135,240 on the date of grant, or approximately $45,000 in value per year ).
 
New Plan Benefits Table
 
If the shareholders approve the Amended and Restated Compensation Policy and the Updated Director Compensation Package, non-employee directors will receive the equity grants, which will be issued pursuant to the Company's Amended 2013 Plan and Amended 2013 Israeli Plan.  The grants will vest in one installment on the first anniversary of the grant date of the award.  The number of shares underlying the grants will be determined based on the grant date stock price and cannot presently be determined.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
The following discussion and analysis contains statements regarding individual and Company performance targets and goals used in setting compensation for our Named Executive Officers.  These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of the Company's compensation programs and should not be understood to be statements of management's future expectations or estimates of future results or other guidance.  The Company specifically cautions investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.
 
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
The goals of our executive officer compensation program are to attract, retain, and reward executive officers who contribute to our success, to align executive officer compensation with our performance, and to motivate executive officers to achieve our business objectives.  We compensate our senior management through a mix of base salary, bonus, and equity compensation designed to align management's incentives with the long-term interests of our shareholders.  In addition, we provide our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") with benefits that are generally available to all employees of the Company.  Compensation paid to our executive officers is made under the terms of an employment agreement, if applicable, and on a discretionary basis by our Board following approval by the Compensation Committee.  In addition, shareholders must approve certain executive compensation, as described in more detail below.
 
Our Named Executive Officers in 2016 were Gerald Vento, Chief Executive Officer, President and Director; Jose Gordo, Chief Financial Officer; Dr. Yuen Wah Sing, our former President of Tiger Jet Network, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and a Director; and Keith Reed, our former General Manager - Senior Vice President Enterprise.  This Compensation Discussion and Analysis relates primarily to the compensation reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for these Named Executive Officers.  It also provides additional information around decisions by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors since the beginning of this fiscal year.
 
Setting Executive Compensation
 
At the 2013 annual general meeting of shareholders held on July 3, 2013, our shareholders approved the compensation policy that we submitted to the shareholders for their approval (the "Compensation Policy").  Under Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law which came into effect in December 2012 ("Amendment No. 20"), public companies were required to adopt a compensation policy with respect to the terms of service and employment of their directors and officers no later than September 2013.  The Companies Law requires that a compensation policy be reviewed and approved every three years.  Accordingly, on March 9, 2017, following the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Company's Board approved the Amended Compensation Policy for a three-year term. The Amended Compensation Policy amended, among other things, certain caps on the amount of sales commissions and bonuses paid to any officer, specified the measurable criteria framework for the payment of bonuses, the factors the Compensation Committee will consider when awarding a sign-on bonus, and amended the maximum severance payment payable to an officer in the event of a changes of control, all as specified in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2016 Annual General Meeting, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017.  Shareholder approval for the Amended Compensation Policy was obtained at the 2016 annual general meeting of shareholders held on April 19, 2017.
 
38

Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law provides that the compensation policy shall be based, among other parameters, on promoting the company's objectives, its work plan and long term strategy,   creating appropriate incentives for the company's directors and officers, considering, among other factors, the risk management of the company, the company's size and nature of its operations and, with respect to terms of service and employment that include non-fixed compensation, the contribution of the director or officer to achievement of corporate goals and increased profits, all with a long term view and taking into account the officer's position.
 
The Amended Compensation Policy includes both long term and short term compensation elements and is to be reviewed from time to time by the Company's Compensation Committee and Board as required by the Companies Law.  In general, the compensation package for officers will be examined while taking into consideration, amongst others, the following parameters: (i) the education, qualifications, expertise, seniority (in the Company in particular, and in the officer's profession in general), professional experience and achievements of the officer; (ii) the officer's position, the scope of his responsibility and previous wage agreements that were signed with him; (iii) the officer's contribution to the Company's business, profits and stability; (iv) the degree of responsibility imposed on the officer; and (v) the Company's need to retain officers who have skills, know-how or unique expertise.  Additionally, prior to the approval of a compensation package for an officer, the Company will conduct a wage survey that compares and analyzes the level and cost of the compensation package offered to an officer of the Company with the compensation packages offered to officers in similar positions in other companies of the same type and/or financial structure.  The surveys are to be conducted internally or through an external consultant recommended by the Compensation Committee.
 
As provided in the Amended Compensation Policy, the Company is entitled to grant to officers (to all or part of them, other than to directors) a compensation package which may include a base salary, commissions, signing bonus, annual cash bonus and share-based compensation, or any combination thereof, and additional standard benefits.  As provided in the Amended Compensation Policy, directors' compensation shall be in accordance with the Companies Regulations (Rules Regarding the Compensation and Expenses of an External Director), 2000, or higher than the amount detailed therein if the director is a professional director, an expert director or a director who makes a unique contribution to the Company, and may also include share-based compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with fulfillment of their duties as directors, all subject to applicable law.
 
An engagement with an officer who is not a director, controlling shareholder (or relative thereof), or the chief executive officer regarding his or her service and terms of employment must be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, provided that the compensation is approved in accordance with the Company's compensation policy.  Other approval requirements apply if the engagement is not in accordance with the Company's compensation policy.  An engagement with the Chief Executive Officer regarding his or her service and terms of employment must be approved by our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors, and by a Special Majority of our shareholders.  In special cases, the compensation of a nominee for service as the Chief Executive Officer may be approved without shareholder approval, subject to meeting certain conditions under the Companies Law.  Arrangements between the Company and a director as to the terms of his office or regarding compensation for non-directorial duties requires the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Board and shareholders.

During 2013, the Compensation Committee selected and directly retained the services of Pay Governance, an independent compensation consulting firm, to provide a wage survey in accordance with the requirements of our Compensation Policy, prior to the approval of the compensation package of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  During 2014, the Compensation Committee did not retain the services of a compensation consultant.  During 2015, the Compensation Committee selected and directly retained the services of Meridian Compensation Consultants, LLC ("Meridian"), an independent compensation consulting firm, to provide a wage survey in accordance with the requirements of our Compensation Policy, prior to approval of the new compensation package of our Chief Financial Officer and approval of the compensation package for our General Manager and Senior Vice President of Enterprise.  During 2016, the Compensation Committee did not retain the services of a compensation consultant.  In 2017, the Compensation Committee selected and directly retained the services of Meridian to provide a peer group analysis and a compensation benchmarking exercise related to director compensation as well as related to compensation of Don Carlos Bell III, the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Thomas fuller, EVP and CFO, and Kristin Beischel, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.
 
2013 and 2015 Surveys for Chief Executive Officer; Chief Financial Officer and GM-SVP Enterprise; Chief Executive Officer Extension
 
During 2013, Pay Governance developed a peer group analysis for the purpose of comparing and analyzing the level and cost of the compensation package to be offered to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer considering companies of similar size, as measured by trailing twelve months revenue, market capitalization and enterprise value, that operated in the same or complimentary industries, specifically telecommunications services, mobile services and solutions, cloud-based services, content-delivery network services and communications services.
 
The Compensation Committee considered the data and analyses prepared by Pay Governance that included the appropriateness of: (i) the amount of base salary, (ii) the annual incentive bonus potential and the performance metrics for achieving such bonus, (iii) the existence and amount of a signing bonus, (iv) the mix and vesting schedule for equity compensation, and (v) market practice with respect to other employment terms, with respect to each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer compared to that of the peer group in 2013.  The peer group data was collected from Equilar and proxy filings reflecting the most recently disclosed compensation as of the time Pay Governance compiled the data in 2013.
 
40

Pay Governance reviewed with the Compensation Committee its analysis of the (1) base salaries, (2) bonus, (3) total cash compensation (salary plus annual bonus opportunity), (4) long-term incentive ("LTI") awards and (4) total direct compensation ("TDC") (salary plus annual bonus opportunity plus value of LTI payable to each NEO) to the 25th percentile, the 50th percentile and 75th percentile target opportunity of the peer group.  The Compensation Committee used this peer group data to obtain a general understanding of current compensation practices consistent with our Compensation Policy, to ensure that it was acting in an informed and responsible manner and to make sure our executive compensation program was competitive.  The Compensation Committee did not seek to set any elements of compensation at a specific percentile of the relevant peer group but, it did want to understand and be cognizant of the divergence of any of the compensation elements from the 25th percentile, 50th percentile and 75th percentile.
 
The Compensation Committee did not conduct a peer group survey during 2014.
 
In May of 2015, the Compensation Committee recommended that the Board approve the extension of the Chief Executive Officer's Employment Agreement with the Company.  The Employment Agreement was due to expire on December 31, 2015, and the Compensation Committee recommended extension of the term through December 31, 2016 with no increase in base salary or annual target bonus and no additional equity compensation.  The Compensation Committee determined that such an extension was consistent with the Company's Compensation Policy based on the peer group analysis performed by Pay Governance in 2013.
 
During 2015, Meridian developed a peer group analysis for the purpose of comparing and analyzing the level and cost of the compensation package to be offered to the Chief Financial Officer and the Former General Manager and Senior Vice President of Enterprise.  The peer group companies considered by Meridian and approved by the Compensation Committee in connection with 2015 compensation include companies of similar size, as measured by trailing twelve months revenue, market capitalization and enterprise value, that operated in the same or complimentary industries as the Company and are as follows:
 
·
Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc.
·
8X8 Inc.
·
LogMeln, Inc.
·
Demandware, Inc.
·
Boingo Wireless Inc.
·
Spok Holdings Inc.

The Compensation Committee considered the data and analyses prepared by Meridian that included the appropriateness of: (i) the amount of base salary, (ii) the annual incentive bonus potential and the performance metrics for achieving such bonus, (iii) the existence and amount of a signing bonus, (iv) the mix and vesting schedule for equity compensation, and (v) market practice with respect to other employment terms, with respect to each of the officers reviewed compared to that of the peer group companies listed above.  The peer group data was collected primarily from proxy filings reflecting the most recently disclosed compensation as of the time Meridian compiled the data in 2015.
 
Meridian reviewed with the Compensation Committee its analysis of the (1) base salaries, (2) bonus, (3) total cash compensation (salary plus annual bonus opportunity), (4) LTI awards and (5) TDC (salary plus annual bonus opportunity plus value of LTI payable to each NEO) to the 25th percentile, the 50th percentile and 75th percentile target opportunity of the peer group.  The Compensation Committee used this peer group data to obtain a general understanding of current compensation practices consistent with our Compensation Policy, to ensure that it was acting in an informed and responsible manner and to make sure our executive compensation program is competitive.  The Compensation Committee did not seek to set any elements of compensation at a specific percentile of the relevant peer group but, it did want to understand and be cognizant of the divergence of any of the compensation elements from the 25th percentile, 50th percentile and 75th percentile.  The Compensation Committee was aware that certain elements of the compensation package for Mr. Reed, effective as of December 1, 2015, and for Mr. Gordo, effective as of January 1, 2016, were at levels greater than the compensation paid to similar officers in the peer group companies, particularly with respect to base salaries in the case of Mr. Reed and long-term incentive awards for each of Messrs. Gordo and Reed.  The Compensation Committee determined that the compensation packages for Messrs. Gordo and Reed were appropriate due to the decline of the core business, the unique challenges faced in repositioning the Company and the need to hire and retain executive talent, particularly in the current environment of intense competition in the industry and a volatile stock price.
 
The Compensation Committee did not conduct a peer group survey during 2016.
 
In connection with consideration of compensation packages for the new Chief Executive Officer, new Chief Financial Officer and new Chief Marketing Officer, as well as for the non-employee directors of the Company, the Compensation Committee again retained Meridian in 2017.  A description of Meridian's analysis and recommendations are set forth below under Proposal 1 with respect to the proposed compensation agreements with Mr. Bell and under Proposals 4 and 5 with respect to the proposed changes to compensation for our non-employee directors.

Compensation Program
 
The primary components of the executive compensation program of our Company consist of base salary, bonuses, grants of restricted stock and options, and health benefits.
 
Base Salary
 
In accordance with our Compensation Policy, the base salary of a new officer in the Company was determined based on the parameters set forth in the Compensation Policy and discussed above.  The Compensation Committee and the Board had authority to update the base salary of the officers (other than (i) officers who are controlling shareholders or their relatives or other officers' compensation in which the controlling shareholder has a Personal Interest and (ii) officers who serve as directors) consistent with the terms of the Compensation Policy including the parameters specified above, provided that the Compensation Committee alone had authority to approve an amendment to an officer's base salary that does not increase such base salary by more than 15%.
 
Mr. Vento's base salary in 2016 for his service as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was $500,000.  Mr. Gordo's base salary for 2016 for his service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company was $350,000.  Dr. Sing's base salary for 2016 for his service as president of TigerJet Network, Inc. was $250,000 but he resigned from this position effective July 15, 2016 and as a result received $135,417 in base salary for 2016.  Mr. Reed's base salary for his service as the former General Manager - Senior Vice President Enterprise was $350,000.  The 2016 annual base salary amounts for Messrs. Vento, Dr. Sing and Mr. Reed remained at the same amount as their 2015 annual base salary levels.  Mr. Gordo's base salary in 2016 for his service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company was increased to $350,000 from $325,000.  We believe we provided the above Named Executive Officers with a level of base salary that recognized appropriately each individual officer's scope of responsibility, role in the organization, experience, contributions to the success of our Company and the results of the peer group surveys conducted by Pay Governance in 2013 in the case of Messrs. Vento and Gordo, and the peer group surveys conducted by Meridian in 2015 in the case of Messrs. Gordo and Reed.
 
Signing Bonus
 
Under our Compensation Policy, we may grant a signing bonus to an officer, which may not exceed the officer's initial annual base salary and will be subject to the limitations in the Compensation Policy.  A signing bonus will not be considered in calculating the maximum amount of the bonus (described below) payable to an officer following his initial year of employment.  No signing bonuses were awarded to our Named Executive Officers during 2016.
 
Annual Cash Incentive Bonus
 
Under the terms of our Compensation Policy, our annual cash incentive bonus will be based mainly (at least 80%) on measurable criteria, and, with respect to its less significant part (up to 20%), at the Board and management's discretion, based on non-measurable criteria.  Measurable criteria may include financial targets, meeting sales and marketing objectives, productivity indices and growth in the volume of activity, cost savings, implementation and promotion of planned projects, promoting strategic targets, promoting innovation in the Company and/or success in raising capital.
 
43

The remaining portion of the annual cash bonus (not exceeding 20% of the annual cash bonus) will be determined according to non-measurable criteria, such as the contribution of the officer to the Company's business, its profitability and stability, the need for the Company to retain an officer with skills, know-how, or unique expertise, the responsibility imposed on the officer, changes that occurred in the responsibility imposed on the officer during the year, satisfaction with the officer's performance, assessing the officer's ability to work in coordination and cooperation with other employees of the Company, the officer's contribution to an appropriate control environment and ethical environment and such other elements as recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board.  Based on our Compensation Policy and the peer group surveys conducted in 2013 and 2015, the Compensation Committee established the following annual cash incentive bonus structure for Messrs. Vento, Gordo and Reed applicable for each of them during the year ended December 31, 2016 under the terms of their employment agreements.

44

The amount of annual cash incentive bonus paid to Messrs. Vento and Gordo as a result of the achievement of bonus milestones during the year ended December 31, 2016 was determined to be $406,500 and $142,275, respectively.  The amounts were determined by the Compensation Committee in March 2017.  Mr. Reed left the Company in February 2017 and as a result did not receive a bonus.
 
Dr. Yuen Wah Sing was not eligible to participate in the annual cash incentive bonus program described above but was eligible to be awarded a discretionary bonus.  Dr. Sing resigned from his officer position with the Company effective July 15, 2016 and as a result did not receive an annual discretionary cash bonus for the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Sales Commissions
 
Under our Compensation Policy, we may pay our officers sales and other commissions based on a pre-determined commission plan, which commissions will be considered part of the officer's aggregate compensation package subject to limitations in the Compensation Policy.  None of our Named Executive Officers received commissions for the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Grants of Restricted Stock and Ordinary Share Options
 
Equity compensation consists of periodic grants of restricted stock and options exercisable for ordinary shares to certain of our executives under our magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and our magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Israeli Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, (together the "2013 Plans"), to provide additional incentive to work to maximize long-term total return to shareholders.  Award levels are determined based on market data and may vary among participants based on their positions within the Company, assessment of job performance, and other factors, including the terms of their employment agreements with the Company.  A committee appointed by the Board is specified to act as the plan administrator.  In 2016, our Board of Directors administered the plan directly and not through a committee.
 
No grants of stock options or restricted stock were made to the Named Executive Officers during 2016.  On December 1, 2015, the Board awarded Mr. Gordo 192,926 shares of restricted stock and 499,307 ordinary share options in connection with Mr. Gordo's agreement to enter into a new Employment Agreement with the Company effective as of January 1, 2016.  On December 1, 2015, the Board awarded Mr. Reed 192,926 shares of restricted stock and 499,307 ordinary share options in connection with Mr. Reed's acceptance of the position of General Manager - Senior Vice President Enterprise effective as of December 1, 2015.  No grants of restricted stock or options were made to Mr. Vento or Dr. Sing during 2015.
 
Benefits
 
We provide various employee benefit programs to our executive officers, including: (i) medical and dental insurance benefits for our U.S. based employees, and (ii) a defined contribution retirement plan for our Israeli employees.  These benefits are generally available to all full-time employees of our Company based on their location.

Compensation Related Actions for 2017
 
On December 29, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company upon the Compensation Committee's recommendation approved, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting, an extension of the term of Mr. Vento's employment with the Company under the terms of his Executive Employment Agreement with the Company dated January 1, 2013, as amended by Amendment to Executive Employment Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2015 (collectively, the "Vento Employment Agreement") such that Mr. Vento would continue to serve as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer through the earlier of June 30, 2017 or the date the Company appointed a President and Chief Executive Officer to replace Mr. Vento (the "Second Amendment") upon the same compensation terms as are set forth in the Vento Employment Agreement.  The shareholders approved this extension at the annual meeting held on April 19, 2017.  Compensation in connection with Mr. Vento's extension of employment under the Second Amendment was not paid until shareholder approval was received, at which time all accrued compensation was paid to Mr. Vento.
 
The Board of Directors also proposed that the Company enter into a consulting agreement with Mr. Vento effective as of the date immediately following the separation date under the Vento Employment Agreement as extended by the Second Amendment (the "Consulting Agreement") in lieu of any severance to be provided to Mr. Vento on the separation date, as an inducement for Mr. Vento to execute the Second Amendment, for Mr. Vento to continue to serve as the Company's President and CEO through the separation date and to smoothly transition Mr. Vento's duties to the Company's new President and CEO.  The Company entered into the Consulting Agreement with Mr. Vento effective as of March 9, 2017, when Mr. Bell was appointed as President and CEO, subject to shareholder approval of the Consulting Agreement, which was obtained at the 2016 Meeting.
 
The Consulting Agreement provides that for a one-year term Mr. Vento will perform certain professional consulting services for the Company.  In consideration for Mr. Vento’s professional consulting services, the Company will pay Mr. Vento a consulting fee of $83,333.33 per month.  The term of the Consulting Agreement commenced as of March 10, 2017 .  On June 17, 2017, Mr. Vento resigned from the Board of Directors.  On June 18, 2017, Mr. Vento and the Company entered into an amendment to the Consulting Agreement to shorten the term by approximately two months and to similarly reduce the aggregate amount payable under the Consulting Agreement by $200,000.  Accordingly, the Consulting Agreement, as amended, will continue until December 26, 2017.   If the Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company without cause, Mr. Vento will be entitled to a termination payment equal to the full amount payable under the Consulting Agreement as if the agreement was not terminated.   In connection with this amendment, Mr. Vento surrendered to the Company the option originally issued to him on April 2, 2013, to purchase 722,782 shares at an exercise price of $14.95 per share.

All shares in this column consist of restricted stock awards. Of the shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Gordo, 34,904 of the shares related to pre-employment services have a restriction on vesting based on the Company’s stock price reaching certain targets, these targets were not met so Mr. Gordo’s shares under this grant had not vested as of December 31, 2016. With respect to Mr. Gordo’s restricted stock awards, one third of his restricted stock award vested on December 31, 2016 and 41,307 shares vested in May 2017, in connection with his termination. Due to Mr. Gordo’s departure from the Company, the remaining shares of restricted stock that were originally scheduled to vest in one-half increments annually at each of December 31, 2017 and 2018 will no longer vest, unless there is a Change of Control within 180 days of his termination date. With respect to Mr. Reed’s restricted stock award, one-third of his restricted stock award vested on December 31, 2016. Due to Mr. Reed’s departure from the Company, the remaining shares of restricted stock that were originally scheduled to vest in one-half increments annually at each of December 31, 2017 and 2018 will no longer vest.

In addition, 87,310 shares underlying a restricted stock award in 2015 remain unvested and will not vest, unless there is a Change of Control within 180 days of Mr. Gordo’s termination.  In connection with his termination, Mr. Gordo surrendered to the Company options originally granted on May 8, 2013 covering 296,031 shares at an exercise price of $17.63. For Mr. Reed, the remaining unvested stock options that were originally scheduled to vest in annual increments on December 31, 2017 and 2018 will no longer vest due to his departure from the Company.

The aggregate dollar amount realized by the Named Executive Officer upon the vesting of shares of our restricted stock was computed by multiplying the number of shares of our restricted stock that vested by the market value of the underlying shares on the last date the market was open prior to the vesting date of December 31, 2016. The amount was calculated using an assumed stock price of $6.85, the closing price of our ordinary shares on December 30, 2016, the last business day prior to the vesting date of December 31, 2016.

Employment Agreements and Potential Payments
Upon Termination or Change of Control
 
Vento Agreement
 
On April 2, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive employment agreement and compensation arrangement with Gerald Vento (the "Vento Agreement"), in connection with his services as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Under the terms of the Vento Agreement, Mr. Vento's compensation was retroactive to January 1, 2013 to coincide with Mr. Vento's start date as Chief Executive Officer.
 
51

The term of employment was initially for three years, beginning on January 1, 2013, but it was extended for an additional year through December 31, 2016 as recommended by the Compensation Committee and Board and approved by the Company's shareholders at its 2015 annual general meeting of shareholders. Additionally, as recommended by the Compensation Committee and the Board and approved by the Company's shareholders at its 2016 annual meeting, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Mr. Vento's term of employment through the earlier of June 30, 2017 or the date the Company hired a new President and Chief Executive Officer to replace Mr. Vento.
 
Mr. Vento was paid an annual base salary of $500,000, subject to review each calendar year and possible increases in the sole discretion of the Board. Mr. Vento also received a signing bonus of $500,000 in 2013. For each fiscal year of employment during which the Company employed Mr. Vento, he was eligible to receive a bonus based on the Company meeting certain performance criteria. Mr. Vento's target annual bonus equaled his annual base salary (the "Target Annual Bonus"). The annual bonus ranged from 35% to 200% of the Target Annual Bonus. The annual bonus formula and performance criteria for each fiscal year were based: (i) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the fiscal year; and (ii) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the fiscal year.
 
Except as described below, Mr. Vento was only entitled to receive an annual bonus if he was employed by the Company pursuant to the Vento Agreement at the close of business on the last day of the applicable fiscal year with respect to the Annual Bonus.
 
Mr. Vento was granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 722,782 shares of the Company's ordinary shares at an exercise price of $14.95, which was the fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares on the date of grant (the "Vento Options"). In addition, Mr. Vento was granted 80,267 shares of restricted stock (the "Vento Restricted Stock"). All of the Vento Options and Vento Restricted Stock were fully vested as of December 31, 2015. The Vento Options will expire immediately upon termination of Mr. Vento's employment for Cause, and six months after termination of Mr. Vento's service (including service as a Board member or consultant to the Company) for any reason other than Cause. The Vento Restricted Stock and any shares acquired through exercise of the Vento Options are subject to sale restrictions, as more particularly set forth in the agreements granting those equity interests. Mr. Vento did not receive any equity compensation when the term of the Vento Agreement was extended through December 31, 2016 nor when the term of the Vento Agreement was extended through the earlier of June 30, 2017 or the date the Company hired the new President and Chief Executive Officer to replace Mr. Vento.
 
On December 31, 2016, either Mr. Vento or the Company could have terminated Mr. Vento's employment under the Vento Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice:
 
(i)
Upon termination of Mr. Vento's employment prior to a Change of Control, by Mr. Vento for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Vento Agreement), Mr. Vento will be entitled to a termination payment equal to the sum of (a) Mr. Vento's annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Vento's Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case);
 
52

(ii)
Upon termination of Mr. Vento's employment by the resignation of Mr. Vento without Good Reason or by the Company with Cause, death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above or the immediately following paragraphs below, Mr. Vento will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of Mr. Vento's resignation or termination (including any Annual Bonus that may be due and payable to Mr. Vento);
 
(iii)
If upon or within six months subsequent to a Change of Control, Mr. Vento's employment is terminated by Mr. Vento for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, Mr. Vento will be entitled to and paid a termination payment equal to three times the sum of (a) Mr. Vento's annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Vento's Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case); or
 
(iv)
If Mr. Vento's employment is terminated by Mr. Vento for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause 180 days prior to the Company's execution of an agreement which, if consummated, would constitute a Change of Control, then upon consummation of such Change of Control, Mr. Vento will receive an additional payment equal to the difference between (a) the change of control termination payment described in clause (iii) and (b) any termination payment previously provided to Mr. Vento as described in clause (i).
 
Mr. Vento agreed during the term of his employment and until two years after termination of employment, (A) he will not engage in any business or activity which is the same as or competitive with any business or activity conducted by the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries or (B) become an officer, employee or consultant of or otherwise assume a substantial role or relationship with, any governmental entity, agency or political subdivision that is a client or customer of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided that Mr. Vento may invest in securities of any public company so long as he does not beneficially own more than 5% of the class of public securities. During the period of Mr. Vento's employment and until three years after the termination of employment, Mr. Vento will not, without the Company's prior written consent, seek to employ or otherwise seek the services of any employee or consultant of the Company or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Mr. Vento also agreed to restrictive covenants with respect to confidentiality and work product.
 
In connection with the Second Amendment, the Board of Directors also proposed that the Company enter into the Consulting Agreement with Mr. Vento effective as of March 10, 2017, the date following the separation date under the Vento Employment Agreement as extended by the Second Amendment in lieu of any severance to be provided to Mr. Vento on the separation date, as an inducement for Mr. Vento to execute the Second Amendment, for Mr. Vento to continue to serve as the Company's President and CEO through the separation date and to smoothly transition Mr. Vento's duties to the Company's new President and CEO.  The Company entered into the Consulting Agreement with Mr. Vento on March 10, 2017.
 
53

 
The Consulting Agreement provides that Mr. Vento will perform certain professional consulting services for the Company. In consideration for Mr. Vento’s professional consulting services, the Company will pay Mr. Vento a consulting fee of $83,333.33 per month. The term of the Consulting Agreement will commence on the separation date under the Second Amendment and originally contemplated a one-year term.  On June 18, 2017, Mr. Vento and the Company entered into an agreement to amend his Consulting Agreement to shorten the term by approximately two months and to similarly reduce the aggregate amount payable under the Consulting Agreement by $200,000.  Accordingly, the Consulting Agreement, as amended, will continue until December 26, 2017. The term of the Consulting Agreement may be terminated by Mr. Vento or the Company upon 30 days advance written notice or by the Company immediately for cause as defined in the Consulting Agreement. If the Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company without cause, Mr. Vento will be entitled to a termination payment equal to the full amount payable under the Consulting Agreement as if the agreement was not terminated. If the Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company for cause, by Mr. Vento for any reason, or upon his death or disability, Mr. Vento will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective time of the termination.
 
Gordo Agreement
 
On May 8, 2013, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with Jose Gordo, effective as of May 10, 2013 relating to his service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The term of employment under the executive employment agreement with Mr. Gordo was from May 10, 2013 through December 31, 2015.
 
Mr. Gordo entered into a new Employment Agreement with the Company on December 1, 2015 with an effective date of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018 under which he would continue to serve as the Company's Chief Financial Officer (the "2016 Gordo Agreement"). Pursuant to the 2016 Gordo Agreement, Mr. Gordo was to receive an annual base salary in the amount of $350,000 subject to review each calendar year and possible increases in the sole discretion of the Board. For each fiscal year of employment under the 2016 Gordo Agreement, Mr. Gordo was eligible to receive an Annual Bonus based on the Company meeting certain performance criteria. Mr. Gordo's Target Annual Bonus was $175,000, subject to review each calendar year and possible increase in the sole discretion of the Board. The Annual Bonus ranged from 35% to 200% of the Target Annual Bonus. The Annual Bonus formula and performance criteria for each fiscal year were based: (i) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target revenue for the fiscal year; and (ii) 50% on the Company meeting at least 80% and up to 120% of its target EBITDA for the fiscal year.
 
54

 
Except as described below, Mr. Gordo was only entitled to receive an Annual Bonus if he was employed by the Company pursuant to the 2016 Gordo Agreement at the close of business on the last day of the applicable fiscal year with respect to the Annual Bonus.
 
Mr. Gordo was granted stock options to purchase 499,307 shares of the Company's ordinary shares at an exercise price of $9.33, which was the fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares on December 1, 2015, the date of grant (the "2015 Options"). In addition, Mr. Gordo was granted 192,926 shares of restricted stock (the "2015 Restricted Stock") on December 1, 2015. The 2015 Options and 2015 Restricted Stock are scheduled to vest as follows: one-third of the 2015 Options and 2015 Restricted Stock vested on December 31, 2016, and one-third would vest on each of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, respectively, subject to Mr. Gordo's continued employment by the Company. In the event that Mr. Gordo's employment is terminated by the Company without "Cause" or by Mr. Gordo for "Good Reason" (as such terms are defined in the agreements granting those equity interests), Mr. Gordo would be credited with service through the date that is three months after the termination date (the "Final Vesting Date"), and the 2015 Restricted Stock and 2015 Options would vest on a pro-rata basis through the Final Vesting Date. In addition, all unvested 2015 Options and 2015 Restricted Stock in the Company would immediately become 100% vested upon a Change of Control (as defined in the 2016 Gordo Agreement). The 2015 Options will expire immediately upon termination of Mr. Gordo's employment for Cause, or six months after termination of Mr. Gordo's service (including service as a consultant to the Company) for any reason other than Cause. The 2015 Restricted Stock and any shares purchased through exercise of the 2015 Options are subject to sale restrictions as more particularly set forth in the agreements granting those equity interests.
 
Mr. Gordo was also granted stock options to purchase 256,151 shares of the Company's ordinary shares at an exercise price of $17.63, which was the fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares on July 3, 2013, the date of grant (the "2013 Options"). In addition, Mr. Gordo was granted 27,634 shares of restricted stock (the "2013 Restricted Stock") on July 3, 2013. The 2013 Options and 2013 Restricted Stock were fully vested as of December 31, 2015. Furthermore, Mr. Gordo was granted 39,880 ordinary share options at an exercise price of $17.63 (the "Prior Service Options") and 52,356 shares of restricted stock for services provided to the Company prior to his employment by the Company (the "Prior Service RSUs") on July 3, 2013. The Prior Service Options were fully vested as of December 31, 2015. The Prior Service RSUs were scheduled to vest in full on December 31, 2015, however, the shares have a vesting schedule based on the Company's stock price reaching certain targets. In the event that the targets are not met, the vesting is deferred until the targets are reached. In the event that Mr. Gordo's employment is terminated by the Company without "Cause" or by Mr. Gordo for "Good Reason," or the Company experiences a Change of Control prior to termination of Mr. Gordo's employment (as such terms are defined in Mr. Gordo's Restricted Stock Agreement), the Prior Service RSUs will fully vest. The 2013 Options and Prior Service Options will expire immediately upon termination of Mr. Gordo's employment for Cause, six months after termination of Mr. Gordo's service (including service as a consultant to the Company) for any reason other than Cause. The 2013 Restricted Stock, the Prior Services RSUs and any shares purchased through exercise of the 2013 Options or Prior Service Options are subject to sale restrictions as more particularly set forth in the agreements granting those equity interests.
 
Either Mr. Gordo or the Company could terminate Mr. Gordo's employment under the 2016 Gordo Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice:
 
(i)
Upon termination prior to a Change of Control by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Gordo for Good Reason, each as defined in the Gordo Agreement, Mr. Gordo will be entitled to a termination payment equal to the sum of (a) Mr. Gordo's annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Gordo's Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case);
 
55

(ii)
Upon termination of Mr. Gordo's employment by the resignation of Mr. Gordo without Good Reason or by the Company with Cause, death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above or the immediately following paragraphs below, Mr. Gordo will be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of Mr. Gordo's resignation or termination (including any Annual Bonus that may be due and payable to Mr. Gordo);
 
(iii)
If upon or within six months subsequent to a Change of Control, Mr. Gordo's employment is terminated by Mr. Gordo for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, Mr. Gordo will be entitled to and paid a termination payment equal to three times the sum of (a) Mr. Gordo's annual base salary at the time of such termination and (b) Mr. Gordo's Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated (as if the applicable performance criteria have been met at the level that would result in payment of the Target Annual Bonus at the 100% level irrespective of whether or not that is the case); or
 
(iv)
If Mr. Gordo's employment is terminated by Mr. Gordo for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause 180 days prior to the Company's execution of an agreement which, if consummated, would constitute a Change of Control, then upon consummation of such Change of Control, Mr. Gordo will receive an additional payment equal to the difference between (a) the change of control termination payment described in clause (iii) and (b) any termination payment previously provided to Mr. Gordo as described in clause (i).
 
Mr. Gordo agreed that during the term of his employment and until two years after termination of employment, (A) he would not engage in any business or activity which is the same as or competitive with any business or activity conducted by the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries or (B) he would not become an officer, employee or consultant of or otherwise assume a substantial role or relationship with, any governmental entity, agency or political subdivision that is a client or customer of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided that Mr. Gordo could invest in securities of any public company so long as he did not beneficially own more than 5% of the class of public securities. During the period of Mr. Gordo's employment and until three years after the termination of employment, Mr. Gordo will not, without the Company's prior written consent, seek to employ or otherwise seek the services of any employee or consultant of the Company or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Mr. Gordo also agreed to restrictive covenants with respect to confidentiality and work product.
 
On May 25, 2017, Mr. Gordo's employment with the Company terminated.  Pursuant to the terms of his Employment Agreement, he was paid a severance payment of $525,000 and executed a Separation and Release Agreement.

Reed Agreement
 
On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with Keith Reed, effective as of December 1, 2015 (the "Reed Agreement"), relating to his service as General Manager - Senior Vice President Enterprise ("GM") of the Company.
 
The term of employment was from December 1, 2015 through December 31, 2018 but Mr. Reed departed from the Company effective February 3, 2017. Pursuant to the Reed Agreement, Mr. Reed received an annual base salary in the amount of $350,000 that was subject to review each calendar year with possible increases in the sole discretion of the Board. For 2016, Mr. Reed was eligible to receive an Annual Bonus based on the Company meeting certain performance criteria. Mr. Reed's maximum annual bonus potential was $200,000, subject to review each calendar year and possible increase in the sole discretion of the Board. The Annual Bonus formula and performance criteria for each fiscal year were to be based on criteria agreed to by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Reed and approved by the Company's Compensation Committee and Board of Directors. The Annual Bonus Criteria for the Annual Bonus to be earned for calendar year 2016 was based on: (i) 40% on the Company meeting at least 80% of its target revenue for the fiscal year; (ii) 40% on the Company meeting at least 80% of its target EBITDA for the fiscal year; and (iii) 20% on subjective criteria.
 
Except as described below, Mr. Reed was only entitled to receive an Annual Bonus if he was employed by the Company pursuant to the Reed Agreement at the close of business on the last day of the applicable fiscal year with respect to the Annual Bonus.
 
Mr. Reed was granted stock options to purchase 499,307 shares of the Company's ordinary shares at an exercise price of $9.33, which was the fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares on December 1, 2015, the date of grant (the "Reed Options"). In addition, Mr. Reed was granted 192,926 shares of restricted stock (the "Reed Restricted Stock"). The Reed Options were scheduled to vest as follows: (i) 16 2/3% of the Reed Options on December 31, 2016, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 and (ii) on the date of communicating the amount of the annual bonus for calendar year 2016, 2017 and 2018, and an additional amount shall vest equal to 16 2/3% multiplied by the percentage of the maximum annual bonus target paid for the applicable calendar year. One third of the Restricted Stock vested on December 31, 2016 and the remaining Restricted Stock was scheduled to vest in one-third increments on December 31, 2017 and 2018. In the event that Mr. Reed's employment would have been terminated by the Company without "Cause" or by Mr. Reed for "Good Reason" upon or within 6 months subsequent to a "Change of Control," full acceleration of options other than those options that previously failed to vest as described in the second (ii) item above and all of the restricted stock would have vested. The Reed Restricted Stock and any shares purchased through exercise of the Reed Options would have been subject to sale restrictions as more particularly set forth in the agreements granting those equity interests.
 
Either Mr. Reed or the Company could have terminated Mr. Reed's employment under the Reed Agreement for any reason upon not less than 30 days prior written notice:
 
(i)
Upon termination by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Reed for Good Reason, each as defined in the Reed Agreement, Mr. Reed would have been entitled to a termination payment equal to the sum of Mr. Reed's annual base salary at the time of such termination; or
 
57

(ii)
Upon termination of Mr. Reed's employment by the resignation of Mr. Reed without Good Reason or by the Company with Cause, death or disability or for any other reason except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph above or the immediately following paragraphs below, Mr. Reed would be due no further compensation other than what is due and owing through the effective date of Mr. Reed's resignation or termination (including any Annual Bonus that may be due and payable to Mr. Reed).
 
Mr. Reed terminated his employment with the Company effective February 3, 2017.  Mr. Reed will not receive any severance payment or accelerated vesting of his options or restricted stock as a result of his departure from the Company.
 
Mr. Reed agreed during the term of his employment and until one year after termination of employment, he would not, directly or indirectly, either (i) on his own behalf or as a partner, officer, director, trustee, executive, agent, consultant or member of any person, firm or corporation, or otherwise, enter into the employ of, render any service to, or engage in any business or activity which is the same as or competitive with any business or activity conducted by the Company or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries, or (ii) become an officer, employee or consultant of, or otherwise assume a substantial role or relationship with, any governmental entity, agency or political subdivision that is a client or customer of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent the GM from investing in securities of any company having a class of securities which is publicly traded, so long as through such investment holdings in the aggregate, the GM is not deemed to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class of securities that is so publicly traded. During the period of Mr. Reed's employment and until two years after the termination of employment, Mr. Reed will not, without the Company's prior written consent, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or as a partner, shareholder, officer, executive, director, trustee, agent, consultant or member of any person, firm or corporation or otherwise, seek to employ or otherwise seek the services of any employee or consultant of the Company or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Mr. Reed also agrees to restrictive covenants with respect to confidentiality and work product.
 
Change of Control Provisions
 
Except as described above, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, none of our Named Executive Officers had any contract, agreement, plan, or arrangement that provides payments as a result of termination of employment, change in responsibilities of such executive, or change of control of the Company.
 
58

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
 
Under the individual employment agreements of our Named Executive Officers, upon certain termination events occurring prior to, upon or subsequent to a Change of Control or certain termination events by themselves as described above, each Named Executive Officer would have been entitled to receive the following estimated payments at December 31, 2016.  Dr. Sing did not have an employment agreement in place with the Company and as a result is not entitled to receive change of control payments.  Mr. McDonald's employment with the Company was terminated effective June 5, 2015.  Mr. McDonald received $500,000 in severance in 2015 as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table above.  The disclosed amounts below are estimates only and do not necessarily reflect the actual amounts that would be paid to our Named Executive Officers, which would only be known definitively at the time that they become eligible for payment and would only be payable if a Change of Control or termination, as applicable, would occur.  The table reflects the amount that could be payable to our Named Executive Officers, assuming that the termination of the Named Executive Officers employment, and, if applicable, the Change of Control, occurred at December 31, 2016:

The severance amounts represent the maximum amounts payable under the senior executives’ change in control provisions of their employment agreements in the case of Messrs. Vento and Gordo. These agreements provide that severance be paid at three times the total of annual base compensation and targeted cash incentive bonus amounts for Messrs. Vento and Gordo. The severance amount represents one time annual base salary for Mr. Reed in the event of Mr. Reed’s termination of employment for Good Reason or the Company’s termination of Mr. Reed’s employment without cause.   Mr. Vento’s Employment Agreement expired on March 9, 2017 and so he is no longer entitled to a termination on Change of Control payment.  Although Mr. Gordo’s employment was terminated on May 25, 2017, if the Company executes an agreement within six months of his termination which, if consummated, would constitute a Change of Control, he will be entitled to a payment.
   
(2)
Based on, if any, the excess of the closing price of the Company's stock on December 30, 2016 ($6.85) over the exercise price of the stock options. As the share price on the measurement date was lower than the exercise price for the options, the acceleration of the vesting of stock options has no intrinsic value.

Based on the per share market price on the last business day of our most recent fiscal year (December 30, 2016) of $6.85 per share.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

OTHER INFORMATION
 
Approval of Related Party Transactions
 
Under the Companies Law, an engagement by the Company with an officer who is not a director or the chief executive officer regarding his or her service and terms of employment, including an undertaking to indemnify, exculpate or insure such officer, must be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, provided that the compensation is approved in accordance with the Company's compensation policy adopted under the Companies Law. If the engagement is not in accordance with the Company's compensation policy, approval of the engagement by the general meeting of the shareholders, including one of the following: (i) the majority of shareholder votes present at a general meeting including the majority of all of the votes of those shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the approval of the compensation policy, who participate at the meeting (excluding abstentions) or (ii) the total number of votes against the proposal among the shareholders mentioned in paragraph (i) does not exceed 2% of the voting rights in the company (a "Special Majority"). In special cases, the Compensation Committee and the Board may decide to adopt the terms of such an engagement despite the objection of the shareholders, so long as such decision is based on detailed reasons and after discussing again such engagement and reexamining it in light of the shareholder objection.
 
An engagement with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company regarding his or her service and terms of employment must be approved by our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors, and by a Special Majority. In special cases, the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer may be approved without shareholder approval, subject to meeting certain conditions under the Companies Law, including that the candidate for Chief Executive Officer is independent and the Compensation Committee determines, on the basis of detailed reasons, that convening a shareholder meeting to approve the engagement will frustrate the engagement, but only if the engagement complies with the compensation policy adopted under the Companies Law.
 
For all other transactions between an officer and the Company, the Companies Law requires Audit Committee approval followed by Board approval if the transaction is deemed to be extraordinary, and only Board approval if the transaction is not deemed to be extraordinary. Under the Companies Law, an "extraordinary transaction" is a transaction:
 
·
other than in the ordinary course of business;
 
·
that is not on market terms; or
 
·
that is likely to have a material impact on a company's profitability, assets or liabilities.
 
Under the Companies Law, an engagement by the Company with a director  regarding the terms of service as a director and other positions of employment (if employed) requires the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Board and a regular majority of the shareholders, provided that such terms of employment are in accordance with the Company's compensation policy.  Such an engagement that is not in accordance with the Company's compensation policy may be obtained in special cases but only if approved by a Special Majority.
 
63

4.          Terms And Conditions of 102 Trustee Grants.
 
4.1          Each 102 Trustee Grant will be deemed granted on the date stated in a written notice by the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 and the Trust Agreement, provided that its qualification as a 102 Trustee Grant will be dependent upon the Company's compliance with any applicable Deposit Requirements.
 
4.2          Each 102 Trustee Grant granted to an Eligible 102 Participant shall be deposited with and held by the Trustee, and each certificate for Shares acquired pursuant to a 102 Trustee Grant shall be issued to and registered in the name of the Trustee and shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Eligible 102 Participant for the Required Holding Period.

The Trustee shall not release any 102 Award or Shares issued thereunder and held by it prior to the full payment of the Eligible 102 Participant 's tax liabilities.
 
4.3         Each 102 Trustee Grant (whether a 102 Capital Gains Track Grant or a 102 Earned Income Track Grant, as applicable) shall be subject to the relevant terms of Section 102 and the ITO, which shall be deemed an integral part of the 102 Trustee Grant and shall prevail over any term contained in the Plan, or any Agreement that is not consistent therewith. Any provision of the ITO and any approvals by the ITA not expressly specified in this Plan or any document evidencing a grant that are necessary to receive or maintain any tax benefit pursuant to Section 102 shall be binding on the Eligible 102 Participant. The Trustee and the Eligible 102 Participant, who is granted a 102 Trustee Grant shall comply with the ITO and the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement entered into between the Company and the Trustee. For avoidance of doubt, it is reiterated that compliance with the ITO specifically includes compliance with the Section 102 Rules. Furthermore, the Eligible 102 Participant agrees to execute any and all documents which the Company or the Trustee may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to comply with the provision of any applicable law, and, particularly, Section 102 and the Deposit Requirements. With respect to 102 Trustee Grants, the provisions of Section 102(b)(3) of the ITO shall apply with respect to the Israeli tax rate applicable to such Awards (including Options whose exercise price is lower than the Israeli Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Date of Grant).

4.4         During the Required Holding Period, the Eligible 102 Participant shall not require the Trustee to release or sell the Award, Shares and other securities subsequently received following any realization of rights derived from Award or Shares (including share dividends) to the Eligible 102 Participant or to a third party, unless permitted to do so by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 24.5 of the Plan, the Trustee may, pursuant to a written request and subject to applicable law, release and transfer such Award, Shares and other securities to a designated third party, provided that both of the following conditions have been satisfied prior to such transfer: (i)  all taxes required to be paid upon the release and transfer of the Award, Shares and other securities have been withheld for transfer to the ITA; and (ii) the Trustee has received written confirmation from the Company that all requirements for such release and transfer have been satisfied according to the terms of the Company's corporate documents, the Plan, any applicable agreement and any applicable law. To avoid any doubt, such sale or release during the Required Holding Period will result in different tax ramifications to the Eligible 102 Participant under Section 102 of the ITO and the Section 102 Rules and/or any other regulations or orders or procedures promulgated thereunder, which shall apply to and shall be borne solely by such Eligible 102 Participant (including tax and mandatory payments otherwise payable by the Company or its Affiliates, which would not apply absent a sale or release during the Required Holding Period).
 
4.5         In the event a share dividend is declared and/or additional rights are granted with respect to Shares which were issued upon an exercise or vesting of an Award granted as a 102 Trustee Grant, such dividend and/or rights shall also be subject to the provisions of this Section 4 and the Required Holding Period for such stock dividend and/or rights shall be measured from the commencement of the Required Holding Period for the Award with respect to which the dividend was declared and/or rights granted. In the event of a cash dividend on an Award or Shares, the Trustee shall transfer the dividend proceeds to the Eligible 102 Participant after deduction of taxes and mandatory payments in compliance with applicable withholding requirements.
 
4.6         If an Award granted as a 102 Trustee Grant is exercised or vests during the Required Holding Period, the Shares issued upon such exercise or vesting shall be issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Eligible 102 Participant. If such Shares are issued after the Required Holding Period has lapsed, the Shares issued upon such exercise or vesting shall, at the election of the Eligible 102 Participant, either (i) be issued in the name of the Trustee or (ii) be transferred to the Eligible 102 Participant directly, provided that the Eligible 102 Participant first complies with all applicable provisions of the Plan and pays all taxes which apply on the Share or to such transfer of Shares.

6.         Administration .  The Committee shall administer the Plan and shall have plenary authority, in its discretion, to grant Awards to Eligible Persons, subject to the provisions of the Plan.  The Committee shall have plenary authority and discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to determine the Eligible Persons to whom it grants Awards, the terms (which terms need not be identical) of all Awards, including without limitation, the Exercise Price of Options, the time or times at which Awards are granted, the number of Shares covered by Awards,  any exceptions to nontransferability, any Performance Goals applicable to Awards, any provisions relating to vesting, and the periods during which Options may be exercised and Restricted Stock shall be subject to restrictions.  In making these determinations, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered or to be rendered by Award recipients, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company and its Affiliates, and such other factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have plenary authority and discretion to interpret the Plan and Agreements, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to them, and make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan and Awards granted hereunder.  The determinations of the Committee on the matters referred to in this Section 6 shall be binding and final.  The Committee may delegate its authority under this Section 6 and the terms of the Plan to such extent it deems desirable and is consistent with the requirements of applicable law.

magicJack Vocaltec Ltd.

Amended Compensation Policy
 
1.              Introduction
 
a.     Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law 5759 – 1999 (the " Companies Law "), the Board of Directors of the Company (the " Board of Directors ") approved on May 22, 2017 an amended compensation policy (the " Amended Compensation Policy ") with regard to the terms of service and employment of officers 1 of magicJack Vocaltec Ltd. (the " Company "), following the recommendation of the Company's Compensation Committee who discussed and considered the Amended Compensation Policy. The Amended Compensation Policy was approved by a Special Meeting of shareholders on July 31, 2017 .
 
b.     The Amended Compensation Policy shall be subject to all mandatory provisions of any applicable law which apply to the Company and its officers, and to the Company's Articles of Association, in each case as they may exist from time to time.  Several main principles and objectives form the basis of the Compensation Policy:
 
i.     To promote the Company's goals, targets and work plan and its long term policy;
 
ii.     To create appropriate incentives for the Company's officers, taking into account, among other things, the risk management policies of the Company;
 
iii.     To adapt a compensation package combination that matches the size of the Company and the nature of its activities; and
 
iv.     To comply with the provisions of the law by compensating officers based on their contribution and their efforts to the development of the Company's business, increasing of its profits and promotion of its goals, in the short and long term.
 
c.     The Amended Compensation Policy is a multi-year policy which shall be in effect for a period of three years from the date of its approval. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors shall review the Compensation Policy from time to time, as required by the Companies Law. The Compensation Policy shall be reapproved as required by the Companies Law, every three years.
 

1   The term "officer" in this policy will be interpreted in accordance with the definition set out in the Companies Law: "a chief executive officer, a chief business manager, a deputy general manager, vice general manager, any person who holds such position in the company even if such person holds a different title and any director, or any other manager/officer who is directly subordinated to the chief executive officer".
 

2.             The Compensation Policy
 
a.      Parameters for Examining the Compensation Terms .   In general, the compensation terms for officers shall be examined while taking into consideration, inter alia , the following parameters:
 
i.     The education, qualifications, expertise, seniority (in the Company in particular, and in the officer's profession in general), professional experience and achievements of the officer;
 
ii.     The officer's position, the scope of his responsibility and previous wage agreements that were signed with him;
 
iii.     The officer's contribution to the Company's business, profits and stability;
 
iv.     The degree of responsibility imposed on the officer; and
 
v.     The Company's need to retain officers who have skills, know-how or unique expertise.
 
Following review of the average wage and median wage of employees of the Company (including contactor employees), the Company believes that in light of the limited number of persons employed by the Company relative to its revenue, there is a difficulty in taking into consideration, while determining the officer's compensation, the relationship between the terms of service and employment of the officer, the wage of the other employees of the Company (including contractor employees employed at the Company, if employed at the time of approval of the compensation), and, in particular, the relationship to the average wage and median wage of such employees. The Company believes that due to the limited number of employees, taking into consideration the abovementioned relationship may harm its ability to recruit and retain its employees in the various countries.  Given the challenges described in this paragraph, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors will focus primarily upon wage surveys and similar analysis as set forth in Section 2.b. below when approving the compensation terms for officers.
 
b.     Wage Survey .  Prior to approval of a Compensation Package (defined below) for an officer, the Company will conduct a wage survey that compares and analyzes the level and cost of the overall Compensation Package offered to an officer of the Company with Compensation Packages for officers in similar positions to that of the relevant officer in other companies of the same type and/or financial stature (in terms of revenue or other relevant financial measure(s)) as the Company.  Wage surveys will be conducted internally or through an external consultant as recommended by the Compensation Committee.
 
C - 2

c.       Compensation Terms of Officers
 
i.     The Company shall be entitled to grant to officers (to all or part of them) a compensation package which may include a base salary, commissions, sign-on bonus, annual cash bonus and share-based compensation, or any combination thereof, and additional standard benefits as described below (" Compensation Package ").
 
ii.     Base Salary - The annual base salary of a new officer in the Company shall be determined based on the parameters specified in Sections 2.a. and 2.b. above (the " Base Salary ").  The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors shall be entitled to update the annual Base Salary of the officers of the Company (other than (i) officers who are controlling shareholders or their relatives or other officers' compensation in which the controlling shareholder has a personal interest and (ii) officers who serve as directors) consistent with the terms of this Compensation Policy including the parameters specified in Section 2.a. and 2.b. above, provided that the Compensation Committee alone may approve an amendment to an officer's annual Base Salary that does not increase such annual Base Salary by more than fifteen percent (15%) on an aggregate basis during the term of the officer's Employment Agreement and, with respect to the annual Base Salary of the CEO, such change does not materially change the structure of the incentives provided thereto, even if the total value of the Compensation Package remains unchanged.
 
iii.     Sale Commissions - In addition to the annual Base Salary and any other compensation element, the Company shall be entitled to pay to its officers, sale and other commissions based on a pre-determined commission plan, which commissions will be considered part of the officer's aggregate Compensation Package.  For each fiscal year, the aggregate amount of commissions and any Bonus paid to any officer under Section 2.c.ix. below shall not exceed 200% of annual Base Salary. To the extent officers are paid sales commissions, the measurable criteria upon which they are based with be communicated to and, to the extent required under the Companies Law, approved by, the Company's shareholders in the same manner as Bonus Targets as set forth in Section 2.c.ix. below.
 
iv.     Additional Terms of Compensation Package - The compensation package may include additional standard benefits such as social benefits, car allowance, mobile allowance, reimbursement of expenses, perquisites, advanced notice for termination of employment, medical insurance etc.
 
C - 3

v.      Sign-on Bonus
 
1.     The Company shall be entitled to grant a sign-on bonus (the " Sign on Bonus ") to an officer, which Sign-on Bonus may not exceed the officer's initial annual Base Salary.  A Sign-on Bonus will not be considered in calculating the maximum amount of the Bonus (as defined in Section 2.c.ix. below) payable to an officer following his initial year of employment.
 
2.     The Sign-on Bonus will be deemed part of the overall compensation package for that officer and it will be subject to the existing limitations in this Compensation Policy.
 
3.     When considering a Sign-on Bonus award, the Compensation Committee will consider the necessity of the Sign-on Bonus to attract appropriate candidates to serve as officers of the Company including, without limitation, the amount of variable compensation foregone by an officer from his or her previous employer and will determine the value of the Sign-on Bonus accordingly.
 
vi.     Insurance, Exculpation and Indemnification - The officers of the Company shall be entitled to benefit from the insurance, exculpation and indemnification arrangements, to be approved from time to time by the Board of Directors, pursuant to the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Company and applicable law.
 
vii.     Advance Notice - The advance notice period for termination of employment shall be determined individually with respect to each officer, taking into consideration the parameters set forth in Section 2.a. above, but will not be more than ninety (90) days.
 
viii.     Severance Terms .
 
1.     The severance terms for an officer will be considered pursuant to the parameters set out in Section 2.a. above.
 
2.     In the event that the terms of service of the officer include severance payments, the payments shall be examined in light of the period of service or employment of the officer in the Company, the terms of service, the Company's performance during said period, the anticipated contribution of the officer to achieving the Company's goals and its profitability, and the circumstances of termination of employment.
 
C - 4

3.     In any event, the amount or value of a severance payment shall not exceed two (2) times such officer's annual Base Salary as of termination of employment, other than termination of employment in connection with a change of control of the Company, in which case such maximum severance payment shall not exceed four (4) times such officer's annual Base Salary.  Acceleration of vesting of equity based compensation issued prior to termination of employment shall not be considered in calculating the value of a severance payment.  No severance payment will be paid to an officer whose employment is terminated for "cause" as defined in such officer's Employment Agreement.
 
ix.      Annual Cash Bonus
 
1.     Maximum Amount of the Annual Cash Bonus - The Compensation Package of officers may include an annual cash bonus based on measurable and non-measurable criteria as set forth hereunder (the " Bonus ") and as customary in other companies of the same type and/or financial stature (in terms of revenue or other relevant financial measure(s)) as the Company.  In the event that officers are eligible for a Bonus pursuant to the terms of employment, the Bonus shall be subject to the following:
 
a.     The target Bonus amount for any fiscal year (the " Target Bonus ") may not exceed 100% of the annual Base Salary;
 
b.     For any fiscal year, the aggregate amount of any commissions paid under Section 2.c.iii. above and any Bonus payment shall not exceed 200% of the annual Base Salary; and
 
c.     The Bonus will be based mainly (at least 80%) on measurable criteria, and, with respect to its less significant part (up to 20%), at the Board of Directors' and management's discretion based on non-measurable criteria, all as set forth hereunder.
 
d.     The measurable criteria upon which the Bonus will be based (the " Targets ") will be communicated to, and to the extent required under the Companies Law, approved by, the Company's shareholders when guidance for the year in question is conveyed.  Payment of the Bonus may be based on several Targets measured independently such a one-third (1/3) of the Bonus based upon a revenue Target, one-third (1/3) based upon an EBITDA Target and one-third (1/3) based upon some other key performance indicator Target.  Payment of the Bonus for each Target will be made according to the following scale on an incremental basis:
 
% of Target Achieved
 
% of Bonus for Target Paid
< 80%
 
0%
80% - 100%
 
35% - 100%
100% - 120%
 
101% - 200%
 
C - 5

For example, if 90% of a Target is achieved, 67.5% of the Bonus payable for that Target will be paid.  If 110% of the Target is achieved, 150% of the Bonus payable for that Target will be paid.
 
2.     Measurable criteria for the Bonus may include financial targets ( e.g., revenue and EBITDA relative to budget), meeting sales and marketing objectives, productivity indices and growth in the volume of activity, cost savings, implementation and promotion of planned projects, promoting strategic targets, promoting innovation in the Company and/or success in raising capital.  The measurable bonus criteria will be documented such that they can be calculated objectively and later verified based upon the Company's audited or reviewed financial statements and related metrics.
 
3.     Non-Measurable Criteria for the Bonus - The Company is entitled to determine, in its sole discretion, that an insignificant component, which does not exceed 20% of the Bonus, will be determined according to non-measurable criteria, such as the contribution of the officer to the Company's business, its profitability and stability, the need for the Company to retain an officer with skills, know-how, or unique expertise, the responsibility imposed on the officer, changes that occurred in the responsibility imposed on the officer during the year, satisfaction with the officer's performance (including assessing the degree of involvement of the officer and devotion of efforts in the performance of his duties), assessing the officer's ability to work in coordination and cooperation with other employees of the Company, the officer's contribution to appropriate control environment and ethical environment and such other elements as recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.  The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will consider and approve this component, based, inter alia , on the recommendation and personal assessment given by the official who is in charge of the officer, specifying the relevant reasons underlying the recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 20% limitation above will not apply to Bonuses for officers who qualify as officers because they are directly subordinate to the CEO as long as any Bonus paid to any such officer is otherwise compliant with this Amended Compensation Policy and does not exceed 100% of such officer's annual Base Salary.
 
4.     Unless otherwise specifically provided in a compensation agreement with an officer, the Board of Directors will have no discretion to reduce the Annual Bonus, Sign-On Bonus and Sales Commissions (collectively, " Non-Fixed Cash Compensation ") payable to an officer under an agreement with such officer so long as  payment of such Non-Fixed Cash Compensation complies with this Compensation Policy.
 
C - 6

x.       Share-based Compensation
 
1.     The Company shall be entitled to grant to officers options, Restricted Stock Units or any other share-based compensation (" Share-based Compensation ", and together with Non-Fixed Cash Compensation, " Non-Fixed  Compensation "), pursuant to equity plan(s) as adopted or as shall be adopted by the Company, from time to time and subject to any applicable law.
 
2.     The annual value of a Share-based Compensation shall be calculated at the time of grant in accordance with the cost recorded in its respect in the Company's books. The annual value of Share-based Compensation for any year shall not exceed 400% of the annual Base Salary.
 
3.     When discussing the grant of a Share-based Compensation to an officer of the Company, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors shall consider whether the aforesaid grant is a suitable incentive for increasing the Company's value in the long term, the economic value of the grant, the exercise price and the other terms.
 
Share-Based Compensation, if granted, shall mature in installments or vesting periods (or depend on meeting milestones) which shall take into account the appropriate incentive, in light of the Company's objectives in the years following the approval of the grant.  Vesting of officer's Share-Based Compensation shall occur over a minimum period of three (3) years and no Share-Based Compensation will vest prior to the first anniversary of the grant date for such Share-Based Compensation, provided that vesting of Share-Based Compensation may be accelerated upon a change of control consistent with the Company's employee equity plan and as recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.  On or after the first anniversary of the grant date of an officer's Share-Based Compensation, upon termination of such officer's employment by the Company without "cause" or by the officer for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the officer's Employment Agreement or other applicable contract), vesting of Share-Based Compensation may be accelerated on a pro-rata basis based on the time-period between the grant date and the termination date, plus ninety (90) days, provided that any performance based vesting requirements have also been achieved.  In its discretion, in advance of granting Share-Based Compensation to an officer, the Board of Directors may establish a maximum value accruing to such officer upon exercise of such Share-Based Compensation that is not settled in cash.
