Notice is hereby given that an Special General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of IceCure Medical Ltd.

https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com?d=microsoft.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly90ZWFtcy5taWNyb3NvZnQuY29tL2wvbWVldHVwLWpvaW4vMTklM2FtZWV0aW5nX1l6RmhOMkkxWVRJdFlUQmlaUzAwWlRaaExXRTFNRGd0T1RWa01XSTNOVFJoWmpRdyU0MHRocmVhZC52Mi8wP2NvbnRleHQ9JTdiJTIyVGlkJTIyJTNhJTIyNDg4N2Q4NzktOTUwZi00MjdlLWJlYzAtZDJhMTljN2M3Y2FiJTIyJTJjJTIyT2lkJTIyJTNhJTIyYTQzMTBkOGMtYjQ4Ny00YjQ1LWJlY2ItZTQ4N2VhZjA0Y2Q0JTIyJTdk&p=m&i=NjNkM2JiYjY5OTFlNjAyMDY4MTU4NzIy&t=NG93L1BTVEVxaTJodXRqSktlUy90Sm5kSGtLdmZPZ3NsNXBxUDd5WEgvTT0=&h=c20ca1b05e1f41efae47dfa1c1c4cc4b&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaHTVjDFQFHfoRfhUIAIQfDOMbLd7rgyuBVOZ2qIVWVTQ

 

The following matters are on the agenda for the Meeting:

 

  1. To Approve an Equity-Based Compensation Grant to Mr. Eyal Shamir, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Director.

 

  2. To Approve an Equity-Based Compensation Grant to Mr. Ron Mayron, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors.

 

  3. To Approve an Equity-Based Compensation Grant to Mr. Yang Huang, a Director of the Company.

 

Board Recommendation

 

Our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the above proposed resolutions, which are described in the attached proxy statement.

 

Shareholders of record at the close of business on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to be provided with notice and to vote at the Meeting either in person or by appointing a proxy to vote in their stead at the Meeting (as detailed below).

 

How You Can Vote

 

A form of proxy for use at the Meeting is attached to the proxy statement and a voting instruction form, together with a return envelope, will be sent to holders of Company’s ordinary shares, no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”). By appointing “proxies,” shareholders may vote at the Meeting regardless of whether they attend.

 

Subject to applicable law and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, in the absence of instructions, the Ordinary Shares represented by properly executed and received proxies will be voted “FOR” each of the proposed resolutions to be presented at the Meeting for which the Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR”.

 

Shareholders may revoke their proxies or voting instruction form (as applicable) in accordance with Section 9 of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (“Companies Law”) regulations (proxy and positions statements).

 

 

 

Shareholders registered directly with the transfer agent

 

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, to be the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to use the proxy card included with this Proxy Statement to grant your voting proxy directly to Ronen Tsimerman, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and/or Eyal Shamir, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or to vote in person at the Meeting.

 

Shareholders of beneficial owner

 

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

 

  Sincerely,
   
  /s/ Ron Mayron

  Chairman of the Board of Directors

https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com?d=microsoft.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly90ZWFtcy5taWNyb3NvZnQuY29tL2wvbWVldHVwLWpvaW4vMTklM2FtZWV0aW5nX1l6RmhOMkkxWVRJdFlUQmlaUzAwWlRaaExXRTFNRGd0T1RWa01XSTNOVFJoWmpRdyU0MHRocmVhZC52Mi8wP2NvbnRleHQ9JTdiJTIyVGlkJTIyJTNhJTIyNDg4N2Q4NzktOTUwZi00MjdlLWJlYzAtZDJhMTljN2M3Y2FiJTIyJTJjJTIyT2lkJTIyJTNhJTIyYTQzMTBkOGMtYjQ4Ny00YjQ1LWJlY2ItZTQ4N2VhZjA0Y2Q0JTIyJTdk&p=m&i=NjNkM2JiYjY5OTFlNjAyMDY4MTU4NzIy&t=NG93L1BTVEVxaTJodXRqSktlUy90Sm5kSGtLdmZPZ3NsNXBxUDd5WEgvTT0=&h=c20ca1b05e1f41efae47dfa1c1c4cc4b&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaHTVjDFQFHfoRfhUIAIQfDOMbLd7rgyuBVOZ2qIVWVTQ

 

Upon the receipt of a properly executed proxy in the form enclosed, the persons named as proxies therein will vote the ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) covered thereby in accordance with the directions of the shareholders executing the proxy. In the absence of such directions, and except as otherwise mentioned in this proxy statement, the Ordinary Shares represented thereby will be voted in favor of each of the proposals described in this proxy statement.

 

Quorum and Adjournment

 

Two or more shareholders present, personally or by proxy, holding not less than 25% of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, shall constitute a quorum for the Meeting. If within half an hour of the Meeting time a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned until August 21, 2024, at 18:00 Israel time. If a quorum is not present at the adjourned meeting within half an hour of this time, any number of shareholders present personally or by proxy shall be deemed a quorum and shall be entitled to deliberate and to resolve in respect of the matters for which the Meeting was convened. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as Ordinary Shares present for the purpose of determining a quorum.

 

Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals

 

Proposals No. 1 and No. 3, described hereinafter, are subject to the fulfillment of the aforementioned voting requirements and also one of the following additional voting requirements: (i) the majority of the shares that are voted at the Meeting in favor of such proposal, excluding abstentions, include 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 of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that are voted against such proposal does not exceed 2% of the total voting rights in the Company (a “Special Majority”).

 

 

 

For this purpose, a “Controlling Shareholder” is defined under the Companies Law (as defined hereafter) as any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a Controlling Shareholder if he or she holds or controls, by himself or herself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of a company. In the context of a transaction with an interested party, a shareholder who holds 25% or more of the voting rights in a company is also presumed to be a Controlling Shareholder if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights in such company. “Means of Control” is defined as either: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of a company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of a company or its chief executive officer.

 

For this purpose, “Personal Interest” is defined under the Companies Law as: (1) a shareholder’s personal interest in the approval of an act or a transaction of the company, including (i) the personal interest of any of his or her relatives (which includes for these purposes foregoing shareholder’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, and spouse’s descendants, siblings, and parents, and the spouse of any of the foregoing); (ii) a personal interest of a corporation in which a shareholder or any of his or her aforementioned relatives serve as a director or the chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of its issued share capital or its voting rights or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer; or (iii) a personal interest of an individual voting via a power of attorney given by a third party (even if the empowering shareholder has no personal interest), and the vote of an attorney-in-fact shall be considered a personal interest vote if the empowering shareholder has a personal interest, and all with no regard as to whether the attorney-in-fact has voting discretion or not, but (2) excludes a personal interest arising solely from the fact of holding shares in the company.

 

Proposal No. 2 requires the affirmative vote of shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and holding Ordinary Shares representing in the aggregate at least a majority of the votes actually cast by shareholders with respect to such proposal (a “Simple Majority”).

 

In accordance with the Companies Law, and regulations promulgated thereunder, any shareholder of the Company holding at least 1% of the outstanding voting rights of the Company for the Meeting may submit to the Company a proposed additional agenda item for the Meeting (and in case of a proposed additional agenda item for nominating or removal of a director, at least 5% of the outstanding voting rights of the Company), to Mr. Ronen Tsimerman, at 7 Ha’Eshel St., Caesarea, 3079504, Israel, or via e-mail: ronent@icecure-medical.com, no later than July 23, 2024.

 

Position Statements

 

Shareholders wishing to express their position on an agenda item for this Meeting may do so by submitting a written statement in accordance with the Companies Law (a “Position Statement”) to the Company’s offices, c/o Mr. Ronen Tsimerman, at 7 Ha’Eshel St., Caesarea, 3079504, Israel, or via e-mail: ronent@icecure-medical.com. Any Position Statement received will be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Position Statements should be submitted to the Company no later than August 12, 2024. A shareholder is entitled to contact the Company directly and receive the text of the proxy card and any Position Statement. The response of the Board of Directors to the Position Statement will be submitted no later than August 16, 2024.

 

One shareholder or more holding Ordinary Shares which represent 5% or more of the Company’s voting rights (49,878,397 Ordinary Shares) and whoever holds 5% (five percent) of the Company’s voting rights without taking into consideration the shares that are held by the Company’s controlling shareholder (24,031,790 Ordinary Shares) is entitled to examine the proxy and voting materials in the Company’s office after the General Meeting is held.

 

There may be changes on the agenda after publishing the Proxy and there may be additional Position Statements which could be published. Therefore, the most updated agenda will be furnished to the SEC on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. 

 

For purposes of Proposals No. 1 and No. 3, a shareholder must inform the Company before the vote (or if voting by proxy, indicate on the proxy card) whether such shareholder is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest in such proposals, and failure to do so disqualifies the shareholder from voting on Proposals No. 1 and No. 3. If you believe that you, or a related party of yours, is a controlling shareholder or possesses a personal interest and you wish to vote on Proposals No. 1 and/or No. 3 (as the case may be), you should indicate that you, or a related party of yours, is a controlling shareholder or that there is a personal interest on the enclosed proxy card (if applicable) and should therefore contact our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Ronen Tsimerman, at 7 Ha’Eshel St., Caesarea, 3079504, Israel, or via e-mail: ronent@icecure-medical.com, who will advise you as to how to submit your vote for such proposals. If you hold your shares in a “street name” (i.e., shares that are held through a bank, broker or other nominee) and believe that you are a controlling shareholder or possess a personal interest in the approval of Proposals No. 1 and No. 3, you may also contact the representative managing your account, who could then contact our Chief Financial Officer on your behalf.

Mr. Shamir has successfully overseen a strategy to raise the awareness of the Company’s cryoablation systems, including among the leading medical societies such as the American Society of Breast Surgeons, the Society of Interventional Radiologists and the Society of Interventional Oncologists.

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

 

“RESOLVED, to approve the Grant to Mr. Huang, as set forth in this Proxy Statement.

 

The approval of this proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority.
