Currently,
we are not aware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting.
At
least two holders of Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy, holding or representing in the aggregate at least one-third
of our voting power, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If no quorum is present within an hour after the time appointed
for the holding of the Meeting, then the Meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the next day, at the same time and place,
or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairman of the Meeting may determine with the consent of the holders of a majority
of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the question of adjournment. If a quorum is
not present within a half hour after the appointed time at the adjourned meeting, the presence of two shareholders in person or
by proxy will constitute a quorum.
The
affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present, in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, and voting on each matter is
required to constitute approval of Items Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten and Eleven.
Pursuant
to the Israeli Companies Law, 5759 – 1999 (the “
Companies Law
”) the approval of Items One, Two, Three,
Four and Five requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present, in person, by proxy or by electronic voting,
and voting on each matter, provided that either: (i) at least a majority of the Shares of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders
who do not have a personal interest in the resolution vote in favor of the resolution; or (ii) the total number of Shares of non-controlling
shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution, who vote against the resolution do not
exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company. The Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on
these proposals indicate whether he has such a personal interest. Otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote
on this proposal.
Under
the Companies Law, a “
personal interest
” means: a personal interest of a person in the respective action or transaction
of a company, including: (i) a personal interest of that person’s spouse, brother or sister, parent, grandparent, child,
such persons spouse’s child, brother, sister or parent or the spouse of any of the above (“
Relatives
”); and (ii)
a personal interest of another entity in which that person or any of his or her Relatives either: (a) holds five percent (5%)
or more of such entity’s issued share capital or voting rights; (b) has the right to appoint: (1) one or more directors
to such entity’s board of directors; or (2) the chief executive officer thereof; or (c) is a member of such entity’s board
of directors or serves as the chief executive officer thereof; but excluding a personal interest resulting merely from holding
such company’s shares.
In addition, under the Companies Law, in case of a person voting by proxy for another person, a “personal
interest” includes the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether the proxy
holder has discretion to vote or not.
According
to the Companies Law, even if the shareholders do not approve the proposals on Items two, three and four, the Compensation Committee
and the Board of Directors may thereafter approve the proposals, provided that their resolutions based on detailed reasoning and
a reconsidering of the proposals and the opposition of the shareholders.
This
Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are also available to the public on the website of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“
SEC
”) at http://www.sec.gov.

Note
for Shareholders Voting via Proxy Card
Shareholders
who vote their shares via proxy card may use the form of proxy and the return envelope enclosed. Shares represented by executed
and unrevoked proxies will be voted at the Meeting. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange requirements,
if a written proxy card is signed by a shareholder and returned without instructions, the shares represented by the proxy will
be voted “FOR” all of the proposals set forth above. If a shareholder instructs in a proxy to abstain from voting
on a specific proposal, the shares represented by such proxy will be deemed not to have been cast for the purpose of that particular
proposal and, accordingly, such shares shall not be counted in calculating the percentage of affirmative votes required for approval
of such proposal, but they will be counted for the purpose of determining a quorum.
Shareholders
may revoke their proxies at any time before the effective exercise thereof by returning a later-dated proxy card or by voting
their Shares in person at the Meeting if the Shareholders are the record holder of the Shares and can provide evidence of such
(i.e., a copy of certificate(s) evidencing their Shares). If a shareholder’s proxy is not received by the Company no later
than December 14, 2017 at 7:00 a.m. Israel time, it shall not be valid at the Meeting. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the chairman
of the Meeting may, at his or her discretion, accept proxies after such time if he or she so deems fit.
Proxies
for use at the Meeting that are being solicited by our management and Board of Directors will be mailed to shareholders and will
be solicited primarily by mail. However, additional solicitations may be made by telephone, facsimile or other means of contact
by certain officers, employees or our agents, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor. We will bear the entire
expense of solicitation, including the cost of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing the proxy materials. We will also reimburse
the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding materials to record holders and beneficial owners of Shares.

APPROVAL
OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COMPANY’S CHAIRMAN TO SERVE
AS
BOTH THE COMPANY’S CHIRMAN AND CEO
Background
On
July 31, 2017 the Company announced that Mr. Doron Moshe, its CEO, will cease to serve as the CEO effective as of January 1, 2018.
Therefore
the Company is required to appoint a new CEO who would commence his term of office on January 1, 2018.
The
Company’s Board of Directors has approved the appointment of our Company’s chairman, Mr. Ron Hadassi, to serve as both the
chairman and CEO of the Company for the reasons listed below.
Under
the Companies Law, a company may appoint its chairman to serve as both the company’s chairman and CEO, provided that such a resolution
is approved by the general meeting of shareholders in a special majority vote and that the decision will remain in effect for
a period of three (3) years as of January 1, 2018.

Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and generally includes
any Shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power. All
shares subject to options, are currently exercisable and are deemed to be outstanding
and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing
the percentage ownership of such person, but are not deemed to be outstanding and to
be beneficially owned for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person. All information with respect to the beneficial ownership of any shareholder has
been furnished by such shareholder or is based on the most recent Schedule 13D or 13G
filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise indicated below, we believe that persons named in
the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all the Shares shown
as beneficially owned, subject to community property laws, where applicable. The Shares
beneficially owned by our directors and officers may include Shares owned by their respective
family members, as to which such directors and officers disclaim beneficial ownership.

The
percentages of ownership are based on 9,190,808 Shares outstanding as of November 7,

Based
on information received from the shareholders on the last general meeting held on July
25, 2017. This group consists of M.H. Davidson & Co., Davidson Kempner Partners,
Davidson Kempner Institutional Partners, L.P., Davidson Kempner International Ltd., Davidson
Kempner Distressed Opportunities Fund LP and Davidson Kempner Distressed Opportunities

by Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, and Messrs. Thomas L. Kempner, Jr., Anthony
A. Yoseloff, Conor Bastable and Avram Z. Friedman are responsible for the voting and
investment decisions relating to such Shares.
|
Reasons
for the Proposal
|
●
|
The
Company operate in a complex environment of multidisciplinary activity that spreads over
various countries, with the Company’s principal activity being the realization of its
assets in accordance with the debt restructuring plan between the Company and its creditors
and shareholders (dated 2014) (the “
Restructuring Plan
”).
|
|
●
|
It
will take a long time for a new CEO to learn the Company’s business and would be less
helpful to the Company in the short term.
|
|
●
|
Furthermore,
the consolidation of the roles is in the best interests of the Company, since it will
lead to a significant reduction in the Company’s expenses.
|
|
●
|
On
the other hand, the Chairman is part of the small team that currently manages the Company’s
business. He knows the Company in depth and is involved in all the negotiations for the
realization of its assets.
|
|
●
|
The
Chairman has accompanied the Company from the period of the Restructuring Plan and has
an acquaintance and connections with its creditors and shareholders, which is a significant
factor in conducting the business of the Company.
|
|
●
|
The
Chairman has proper education and experience and is suited to serve as both Chairman
and CEO, and has proved himself during the period he has served as Chairman.
|
|
●
|
Moreover,
the Chairman successfully served as both Chairman and CEO during 2014.
|
|
●
|
In
light of all the above, the first priority is that the Chairman will also assume the
position of CEO of the Company and increase the scope of his position accordingly.
|
|
●
|
The
Board of Directors believes that the unification of the positions will not harm the Company
and is certainly preferable to the absorption of a new CEO that will take a long time
to study the Company and be of any assistance.
|
Required
Approval
Pursuant
to the Companies Law, the approval of the appointment of our Chairman, Mr. Hadassi, to serve as both Chairman and CEO of the Company,
requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that
either (i) at least a majority of the Shares of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest
(as defined above) in the resolution vote in favor of the proposal; or (ii) the total number of Shares of non-controlling shareholders
and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the proposal who vote against the proposal does not exceed two percent
of the outstanding voting power in the Company.
The
Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on this proposal indicate whether or not he has such a personal interest in
the proposal. Otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote on this proposal.
Proposed
Resolution
It
is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
“RESOLVED,
to approve, subject for the approval by the Meeting of Item No. 2, the appointment of the Company’s Chairman, Mr. Ron Hadassi,
to serve as both the Company’s Chairman and CEO for a period of three (3) years commencing from January 1, 2018.”
The
Audit Committee and Board of Directors recommend a vote FOR approval of the proposed resolution. If the resolution in Item 2 below
is not approved, than it will be considered as if the Meeting voted against the resolution in this Item 1.
Item
No. 2
APPROVAL
OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE FOR OUR CHAIRMAN, MR. RON HADASSI FOR HIS SERVICES AS BOTH THE CHAIRMAN AND THE
CEO OF THE COMPANY
At
the Meeting, and subject for the approval by the Meeting of Item No. 1, you will be asked to approve the amendments to the compensation
package for Mr. Ron Hadassi for his services as both the Chairman and the CEO of the Company, as detailed in Exhibit A, as of
January 1, 2018.
Pursuant
to the Companies Law, approval of compensation terms to CEO requires the approval of the Compensation Committee, Board of Directors
and the approval of the shareholders (with a special majority vote), in that order.
Background
Our
Chairman’s current compensation terms (which were approved by the shareholders meeting held on October 13, 2016) are in consideration
for Mr. Hadassi’s services as (i) Chairman of our Board of Directors, (ii) Chairman of the Board of Directors of our subsidiary
Elbit Medical Technologies Ltd., and (iii) any services performed for other subsidiaries of the Company.
Subject
to the approval of Item No. 1 and appointment of Mr. Hadassi to serve as both the Chairman and CEO of the Company, as of January
1, 2018, it is proposed to amend Mr. Hadassi’s compensation package to match his new position as both the Chairman and CEO.
Reasons
for the Proposal
|
●
|
The
proposed compensation constitutes an appropriate consideration for Mr. Hadassi’s for
the roles he assumes and the responsibility he is given, taking into account, among other
things, that the company is currently managed based on a limited number of officers and
that Mr. Hadassi is one of those officers and as such he has a decisive contribution
to the Company.
|
|
●
|
The
proposed compensation does not exceed the compensation paid to the Company’s current
CEO (without taking into account the compensation paid to Mr. Hadassi by Plaza centers

The
proposed compensation does not deviate from the limits set in the Company’s Compensation
Policy (without taking into account the compensation paid to Mr. Hadassi by Plaza centers
N.V. for his services as chairman of the board of directors of Plaza centers N.V.).
|
|
●
|
The
Company’s Board of Directors believes that the proposed compensation also matches the
qualifications, education and experience of Mr. Hadassi, as well as his achievements
in the years in which he serves as Chairman.
|
|
●
|
The
consolidation of the roles of Chairman and CEO is expected to save the Company [solo]

for his services as both the Chairman and the CEO of the Company, as detailed in Exhibit A, as of January 1, 2018.”

Item
No. 3
APPROVAL
OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE FOR OUR CEO, MR. DORON MOSHE
At
the Meeting, you will be asked to approve amendments to the compensation package of our current CEO, Mr. Doron Moshe.
Pursuant
to the Companies Law, approval of compensation terms to the CEO is subject to the approval of the compensation committee, the
board of directors and the general meeting of the shareholders (with a special majority vote), in that order.
Background
The
CEO’s compensation package was approved by previous general meeting of shareholders held on March 31, 2016. For additional information
regarding the current compensation package of Mr. Doron Moshe see Item 2 to the form 6-K that the Company filed on February 24,
2016.
As
part of the CEO’s compensation package he is entitled to
, inter alia
, a cash bonus of up to five (5) monthly salaries for
meeting Company goals determined by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s Compensation
Policy (“
Ordinary Bonus
”) and provided, however, that the financial statement of the Company do not include a
note regarding Going concern (“
Going Concern Note
”).
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Company’s Compensation
Policy, it is proposed to approve that in case there is a Going Concern Note, that the entitlement to the Ordinary Bonus for the
year 2016 and/or 2017 (as applicable) will be brought for further discussion and approval before the Compensation Committee, which
will decide whether to grant the Ordinary Bonus as follows:
|
1.
|
If
and to the extent that the Committee believes that the Going Concern Note is due to the
Company’s cash flow difficulties, then the Ordinary Bonus for the year 2016 and/or 2017
(as applicable) will not be paid.
|
|
2.
|
If
and to the extent that the Committee believes that the Going Concern Note is not due
to a difficulty in the cash flow of the Company, then it may approve the Ordinary Bonus
for the year 2016 and/or 2017 (as applicable) in whole or in part according to the circumstances
of the case.
|
Reasons
for the Proposal
The
cancellation of the limitation with respect to the entitlement of the Ordinary Bonus of 2016 and/or 2017 in case there is an Going
Concern Note, is fair and reasonable since if the CEO’s hard work and efforts indeed bear fruit and the bonus objectives set for
the CEO has been achieved in full, then there is no reason to automatically deprive him of the Ordinary Bonus.
Required
Approval
Pursuant
to the Companies Law, the approval of compensation to CEO (including, under certain circumstances, its amendment) requires the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either (i)
at least a majority of the shares of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest (as defined
above) in the resolution vote in favor of the proposal; or (ii) the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders and
of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution who vote against the proposal does not exceed two percent
of the outstanding voting power in the Company. The Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on this proposal
indicate whether the shareholder has such a personal interest. Otherwise, the shareholder is not eligible to vote on
this proposal.
Proposed
Resolutions
It
is proposed that the following resolutions be adopted at the Meeting:
“RESOLVED,
to approve the amendments to the compensation package for our current CEO, Mr. Doron Moshe.”

No. 4
TO
APPROVE THE CONSULTING FEES FOR MR. DORON MOSHE (OUR CURRENT CEO) IN RESPECT OF CONSULTING SERVICES HE WILL PROVIDE TO THE COMPANY
AS OF JANUARY 1, 2018 (i.e., AFTER TERMINATION OF HIS SERVICES AS CEO)
At
the Meeting, you will be asked to approve the consulting fees for Mr. Doron Moshe (our current CEO) in respect of consulting services
he will provide to the Company as of January 1, 2018 (i.e., after termination of his service as CEO).
Background
|
●
|
On
July 31, 2017 the Company announced that Mr. Doron Moshe, its CEO, will cease to serve
as the CEO effective as of January 1, 2018.
|
|
●
|
Mr.
Moshe is involved in the process of selling two significant assets of the Company, and
the Company is interested that Mr. Moshe will continue to assist with the consummation
of the transactions for realization of those assets after January 1, 2018 (if and to
the extent that those assets will not be sold by then) by providing consulting services
to the Company. The consulting services will be provided in accordance with the Company’s
requirements, which will show due consideration, to the extent possible, to Mr. Moshe’s
time constraints in assuming another position in another corporation
.
|
|
●
|
In
respect of the consulting services, Mr. Moshe will be entitled to consulting fees in
connection with each of those transactions as follows:
|
|
✓
|
Insofar
as the property in Bangalore and/or the property in Chennai are not sold until the end
of the term of office of Mr. Moshe (as CEO of the Company), Mr. Moshe will assist with
the consummation of a sale of those assets. If either said transaction is completed and
the consideration is received by the Company no later than December 31, 2018, then Mr.
Moshe will be entitled to a payment of NIS 94,640, which will be paid to him immediately
after receipt of the proceeds of the sale by the Company, regardless of the amount of
the sale.
|
|
●
|
Insofar
as an agreement and/or MOU for the sale of the Radisson Hotel is not signed and consummated
until the end of the term of office of Mr. Moshe (as CEO of the Company)
[5]
,
Mr. Moshe will assist in the consummation of such a transaction. If the said transaction
is completed and the consideration is received by the Company no later than June 30,
2018, then Mr. Moshe will be entitled to a payment Depending on the selling price of
the property, which will be paid to him immediately after receipt of the sale proceeds
by the Company. The consulting fees for Mr. Moshe for his consulting services will be
paid in full (100%) immediately upon the completion of the relevant transaction and receipt
of the consideration by the Company and without any delay or deployment of the consulting
fee and without any other restriction by virtue of the Company’s Compensation Policy.
|
Reasons
for the Proposal
|
●
|
Mr.
Moshe has held various positions in the company for more than 15 years and therefore
knows the company well.
|
|
●
|
Following
the Restructuring Plan, the Company realizes its various assets and uses the proceeds
to repay debts to its creditors. The realization procedures are complex, inter alia,
since these are assets located in different countries and have a long and complex history.
The Company is managed by only three office holders and Mr. Moshe is the most senior
officer. Therefore, the Company needs the knowledge and assistance of Mr. Moshe in order
to execute the sale transactions of those assets.
|
|
●
|
The
proposed consulting fees do not exceed the compensation offered to Mr. Moshe for consummation
of transactions for the sale of the said assets until December 31, 2017 while still serving
as CEO.
|
Required
Approval
The
consulting services will be provided as of January 1, 2018 after Mr. Moshe ceases to serve as the Company’s CEO and therefore
it is no longer subject to the Company’s Compensation Policy and to the series of approvals under the Companies Law. However,
the Company decided to have the consulting fees brought for approval by the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors and
the General Meeting of Shareholders for the sake of caution only, and notwithstanding the fact that it is not obligated to do
so.
Therefor
the approval of consulting fees to CEO will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present, in person or by
proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that either (i) at least a majority of the Shares of non-controlling shareholders and
shareholders who do not have a personal interest (as defined above) in the resolution vote in favor of the proposal; or (ii) the
total number of Shares of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution
who vote against the proposal does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company. The Companies
Law requires that each shareholder voting on this proposal indicate whether the shareholder has such a personal interest. Otherwise,
the shareholder is not eligible to vote on this proposal.
Proposed
Resolutions
It
is proposed that the following resolutions be adopted at the Meeting:
“RESOLVED,
to approve the consulting fees for consulting services that Mr. Moshe (the current CEO) will provide to the Company as of January
1, 2018, following termination of his services as CEO.”
The
Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the proposed resolution.

Pursuant
to the Companies Law, approval of compensation to an officer of the Company that is inconsistent with its Compensation Policy
is subject to the approval of the compensation committee, the board of directors and the general meeting of the shareholders (with
a special majority vote), in that order.
Background
|
●
|
In
accordance with the provisions of the management agreement between the Company and Elbit
Medical Technologies Ltd. (a subsidiary of the Company) (“

and the “
Management Agreement
”, accordingly), the Company gives Elbit

|
●
|
On
July 31, 2017, the Company announced that Mr. Doron Moshe, its CEO will cease to serve
as the CEO of the Company (and of Elbit Medical) effective as of January 1, 2018.
|
|
●
|
In
accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement, the Company intends to propose
to Elbit Medical’s board of Directors to approve that Mrs. Naftali will serve as the
CEO of Elbit Medical as of January 1, 2018, following Mr. Doron Moshe’s resignation.
|
|
●
|
Mrs.
Naftali was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer on May 1, 2016. In addition, Ms.
Naftali served as our Chief Controller from 2010 until 2016. Mrs. Naftali also serves

In addition, and notwithstanding the provisions of the Company’s Compensation Policy, in case there is a Going Concern Note, then the entitlement to a bonus for that year (beginning from the year 2016) will be brought for further discussion and approval before the Compensation Committee, which will decide whether to grant the bonus as follows:
1.
If and to the extent that the Committee believes that the Going Concern Note is due to the Company’s cash flow difficulties, then
the bonus will not be paid.
2. If and to the extent that the
Committee believes that the Going Concern Note is not due to a difficulty in the cash flow of the Company, then it may approve
the bonus in whole or in part according to the circumstances of the case.

|
The CFO was granted 6,371,100 options exercisable into 3,185,550 shares of Elbit Medical Technologies Ltd.
The options are exercisable until December 31, 2018 (“

|
|
Unchanged
|
General
|
1.
|
Except
for the changes described above, there will be no other change in the compensation package
of the CFO.
|
|
2.
|
These
compensation terms shall be in effect from January 1, 2018. Any modification or extension
of such terms shall be made pursuant to the requisite corporate approvals. For the avoidance
of doubt, this amendment shall be subject to continued appointment of the CFO as the
CFO of the Company and as the CEO of Elbit Medical.
|
Reasons
for the Proposal
|
●
|
The
Company is managed by only three office holders, and Mrs. Naftali is one of them.
|
|
●
|
Upon
the Company’s announcement that Mr. Doron Moshe, its CEO, will cease to serve as the
CEO effective as of January 1, 2018, the Company considered the possibility of finding
a new CEO for Elbit Medical.
|
|
●
|
After
giving serious consideration, the Board of Directors decided that there was no reason
to hire a new CEO for Elbit Medical, and that it was preferable to appoint Mrs. Naftali
as CEO of Elbit Medical.
|
|
●
|
The
proposed compensation does not exceed the limits set in the Compensation Policy, except
for the retirement bonus and the special bonus.
|
Regarding
the special bonus, currently the main goal of the Company is to repay the debt to its (series I) noteholders, and therefore it
is appropriate to create an additional incentive for the CFO which is related directly to this goal.
Regarding
the retirement bonus, the requirement to increase it by an additional month in terms of employer’s cost is reasonable, and even
though it deviates from the Compensation Policy, it is a relatively minor deviation that constitutes an important improvement
for the office holder,
inter alia
, given that the company actually realizes most of its assets So that in the end the company
will cease operating and therefore it is important to create an incentive for the CFO to stay in the Company (by approving suitable
retirement conditions).
Moreover,
the retirement bonus is reasonable in view of the fact that the CFO has been employed by the Company for more than seven years
in which she has capably performed her role.
|
●
|
The
proposed amendments constitute an appropriate compensation for the CFO for the positions
she takes upon herself and the responsibility imposed on her, taking into account, inter
alia, that the company is currently managed by only three office holders and the CFO
is one of them.
|
|
●
|
The
proposed amendments matches the qualifications, education and experience of the CFO as
well as her achievements in the years in which she serves as the Company’s CFO and Elbit
Medical CFO .
|
|
●
|
The
cancellation of the limitation with respect to the entitlement of the Ordinary Bonus
(as of the year 2016) in case there is a Going Concern Note is fair and reasonable, since
if the CFO’s hard work and efforts indeed bear fruit and the objectives set for her have
been achieved in full, then there is no reason to automatically deprive her of the Ordinary
Bonus.
|
Required
Approval
Pursuant
to the Companies Law, the approval of compensation to an officer of the Company that is inconsistent with its Compensation Policy
requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that

(as defined above) in the resolution vote in favor of the proposal; or (ii) the total number of Shares of non-controlling shareholders

Background

agreement for additional year (i.e., from October 14, 2017 until October 14, 2018) (the
“
Period
”).
|
|
●
|
In
consideration for the Services during the Period, Mr. Lifschitz will be entitled to consulting
fees calculated as follows:
|

|
Our
Compensation Policy enables us to enter service agreements with our directors.

●
|
Mr.
Lifschitz possesses considerable experience in the financial field, with emphasis on
the bio-medical sector, as a result of his experiences as an entrepreneur in the field

bio-medical activity is of substantial importance in our business strategy. Mr. Lifschitz
is well positioned to assist our management in overseeing our bio-medical activity and
supporting its unique requirements.
|
|
●
|
The

providing the services required hereof in an efficient and dedicated manner.

Item
No. 9
APPROVAL
OF COMPENSATION FOR OUR DIRECTORS
At
the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to approve compensation for our directors, other than our Chairman of the Board, Mr.
Ron Hadassi.
Pursuant
to the Companies Law, approval of compensation to a director of the Company is subject to the approval of the compensation committee,
the board of directors and the general meeting of the shareholders, in that order.
Background
We
propose to pay our directors (none of whom are executive officers of the Company) the same compensation that we used to pay to
our external directors.
The
compensation of external directors is governed by regulations promulgated under the Companies Law (the “
Compensation Regulations
”),
which allows to pay to external directors annual fee and additional fee for attending meetings of the board of directors and any
of its committees, in an amount not to exceed the maximum amount stated in the Compensation Regulations as updated from time to
time, in accordance with the Company’s equity level (to be determined in each financial year in accordance with the provisions
of the Compensation Regulations) and as detailed in Sections 4 and 5 of the Compensation Regulations. These maximum amounts, which
are based on the company’s shareholders’ equity attributable to equity holders of the Company as of the end of the previous year,
were NIS 49,410 (approximately $14,117) per year and NIS 3,300 (approximately $943) per meeting. Pursuant to the Company’s Compensation
Policy, directors will also be reimbursed for expenses as approved from time to time by the Compensation Committee.
The
currency translations set forth above are provided for the purpose of convenience, based on the representative exchange rate published
by the Bank of Israel on November 7, 2017.
Reasons
for the Proposal
|
●
|
The
proposed compensation is intended to compensate the directors for their services to the
Company and contributions to its development and is in accordance with the Company’s
Compensation Policy.
|
|
●
|
The
proposed compensation is reasonable considering, among others, the size and complexity
of the Company, the challenges that the Company faces and the amount of time and effort
required to fulfill the duties of a director.
|
|
●
|
The
proposed director compensation is in the best interests of the Company.
|
Required
Approval
The
affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter will be required for the
approval of this matter.
Proposed
Resolution
It
is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
“RESOLVED,
to approve the compensation terms of the Company’s current and future directors, other than our Chairman of the Board, Mr.
Ron Hadassi, all as described in the Proxy Statement.”
The
Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of this proposed resolution.
Item
No. 10
APPROVAL
OF AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND LETTER OF INDEMNIFICATION
At
the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to approve amendment to the company’s Articles of Association and letter of
indemnification for our officers in connection with the indemnification amount.
Pursuant to the Companies Law, approval of compensation
to a director of the Company (including letter of indemnification), is subject to the approval of the compensation committee,
the board of directors and the general meeting of the shareholders, in that order.
Background
Our
Articles of association (“
AOA
”) and our letter of indemnification determine that the aggregate indemnification
amount is as follows:
“
The
aggregate indemnification amount paid pursuant to Article 57(b)(ii) shall not exceed the lower of (i)25% of the shareholders’
equity of the Company as of the date of actual payment by the Company of the indemnification amount (as set forth in the Company’s
most recent consolidated financial statements prior to such payment); and (ii) 40 million USD, in excess of any amounts paid (if
paid) by insurance companies pursuant to insurance policies maintained by the Company, with respect to matters covered by such
indemnification
.”
To
date, shareholders’ equity of the Company is negative and therefore the actual indemnification amount to officers is zero.
Therefore, we suggest to amend the Company AOA and Letter of Indemnification (to all officers of the Company) to determine that
the indemnification amount shall not exceed 40 million USD.
Accordingly,
section 57(b)(iii) to the Company AOA shall be replaced with the following:
“
The
aggregate indemnification amount paid pursuant to Article 57(b)(ii) shall not exceed 40 million USD, in excess of any amounts
paid (if paid) by insurance companies pursuant to insurance policies maintained by the Company, with respect to matters covered
by such indemnification.
”
Reasons
for the Proposal
|
●
|
To
date the equity of the Company is negative and therefore there is no real value to the
undertaking to indemnify officers in the amount not greater than 25% of the Company’s
equity.
|
|
●
|
Indemnification
of officeholders is a common component of their terms of office that allows the officers
of the Company to fulfill their duties without the fear of being sued, and therefore
it is important for the Company to have a valuable indemnification mechanism.
|
Required
Approval
The
affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for the approval
of this matter.
Proposed
Resolutions
It
is proposed that the following resolutions be adopted at the Meeting:
RESOLVED,
to approve the amendment of Article 57(b)(iii) of the Articles of Association of the Company to read as follows:
“
The
aggregate indemnification amount paid pursuant to Article 57(b)(ii) shall not exceed 40 million USD, in excess of any amounts
paid (if paid) by insurance companies pursuant to insurance policies maintained by the Company, with respect to matters covered
by such indemnification
”
IT
IS HEREBY FURTHERE RESOLVED, to approve the amendment of the Company’s D&O letter of indemnification so that the aggregate
indemnification amount shall not exceed USD 40 million.
The
Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of this proposed resolution.
Item
No. 11
